A wisp of extremely cold smoke floated in, passing by her ear, causing goose bumps.
Khufu sat up slightly, poured the little wine left in the glass onto the bar, and lit it with fire.
Soon, a pile of ashes appeared on the table.
"They want to know what happened in the Guifangyuan," said Khufu.
"Half Awakened" has his own intelligence network and knew very early on that something had happened in the Guifangyuan.
Not only them, those non-governmental organizations and foreign forces must also be secretly gathering information.
Khufu submitted the request through special means. This was not something they could find out. The official clearly wanted to get a clue from the top leaders of the Night's Watch, or even the Prophet. He was just an insignificant messenger.
Soon, he got a reply and his pupils contracted slightly.
He said in a deep voice: "This was done by a big boss above."
"We?" Fu Xueke couldn't hide her surprise.
The two looked at each other, and their respect for the Night Watch organization deepened. Being able to pull a large hospital into the ghost realm was something that even senior psychics like the old demon could not do for the time being. It must be hidden behind the scenes... the adults with higher status.
Khufu did not delay and passed the news to the authorities.
This is the part that the top brass allowed to tell the bureau.
Soon, the Tonghua City Investigation Bureau, headquarters, and central control department all received the information.
The investigators and psychics at the scene received the order and immediately withdrew, as if nothing had happened.
There was green grass on both sides of the field, and the crops in the fields were growing very well. Before Jiang Ji and Chu Xiuning approached Xiaoer Village, they heard the first rooster crow.
It was like a signal, and the quiet village was awakened and came alive.
Soon, a wisp of smoke rose from the sky above the village, and the villagers who got up in the morning began to make fire and cook.
If it weren't for the little black bugs floating in the air, I would have thought this was a village with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs.
There is a long river winding past the village. The water seems to be of good quality and clear to the bottom.
This river is called Xiaoer River.
This is why Xiaoer Village got its name.
For some reason, Jiang Ji just glanced at the river inadvertently, and he felt inexplicably thirsty in his heart. His throat made a rumbling sound, as if he hadn't had water for several days. He wanted to lie down on the river and gulp down a few gulps.
The river is tempting them.
Of course Jiang Ji wouldn't drink it, and he looked away as if nothing had happened.
After applying Chu Xiuning's Band-Aid, the wound on her neck stopped bleeding quickly.
The wound was itchy and had begun to heal. No wonder both the headquarters and Lingnao City coveted him so much.
Jiang Ji even wanted to poach him.
The time in this ghostland is similar to that in reality, always around dawn.
It was still dark when Chu Xiuning went out for the first time, but when they went out together the second time, it was already much brighter.
The Baby Tower is different from the previous stations. The time here will move forward with their arrival.
Jiang Ji pinched the rabbit ears and pretended to observe the surrounding environment, but he was actually talking to the system.
After the Night Watchman Forum was created, the system was left to manage most of the time, and she was informed of the news from Khufu as soon as possible.
Jiang Ji didn't want to hide anything, but he didn't tell the Investigation Bureau who this high-ranking Night Watchman was.
When the global notification sounds, everyone who needs to know will know.
This is the first time that human buildings in the comic world have been pulled into the ghost realm, but it doesn’t mean it’s the only time.
With the emergence of higher-level weirdness, such things will happen in other places.
The strange world and the human world overlap, maintaining a delicate balance between the two.
Once this balance is broken, if the human world is temporarily in the upper hand, the ghost world will descend upon the human world, and when ghost stories gain the upper hand, the human world will be drawn into the weird world.
This is even more terrifying than a horror story coming true.
In the original plot of the comic, a high school disappeared overnight.
In fact, they were dragged into the strange story of Aoki High School rules. None of the students in the school noticed anything unusual. They went to school and returned home to face their gentle "parents". I don't know what they went through, but when they came out, they were collectively severely polluted.
This is a good opportunity for the officials to familiarize themselves with the situation in advance so that they can be mentally prepared when encountering such a situation in the future.
Jiang Ji paused while pinching the rabbit's ears: Didn't Ying Huai and the others enter the baby tower?
[Yes, host, bus No. 4 is heading to the next stop: Zheng Mansion.]
The Baby Tower Ghost Story has an introduction, which assigns the role of "Doctor from the City" to the people involved in the ghost story.
No one expected the weirdness here. Jiang Ji directly moved in a regular hospital, where all the people were professionals.
When passing by the river, Jiang Ji saw the tower-like building not far away.
It is gray and looks very mottled and old. It appears to be built of bricks and stones. It is tower-shaped, with six or seven floors. It is taller than ordinary buildings, about four or five meters high.
There were some blurry words engraved on both sides of the tower, which Jiang Ji could hardly see clearly.
There was a very small hole on the tower, it was dark and I couldn't see what was inside.
There is a very steep earth slope leading all the way to the window, which looks like a slope created by many people walking on it.
It was quiet and out of place, and none of the birds around lingered on the top of the tower.
Seeing that Jiang Ji had been watching, Chu Xiuning stopped and read out, "Baby Tower, female baby corpse."
"Infants cannot be buried in the baby tower. If they are abandoned at will, their souls will not be at peace and it will easily attract epidemics. So they will be thrown into the abandoned baby tower and burned. There are not only dead babies in it, but also many living babies.
They think that the girls they give birth to are a loss of money and will work like slaves for other families in the future. The cruel ones would torture the baby girls to death so that they would not dare to be reborn into their own families. Those who are reluctant to do it themselves would pay some money and hand over the healthy newborn babies to the abandoners to have them throw them into the tower. This way, it would not be counted as a sin and they could feel at ease.
"They burn the fire every three days, and often the people in charge of the burning can hear crying coming from inside."
"It was burned cleanly, and the bones and ashes underneath were piled up layer by layer. Those people were afraid that the babies inside would crawl out, so they built higher and higher."
"But there was no ladder inside, how could the baby climb out? I was just hiding something from myself."
Chu Xiuning raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Let's go to the village and see what strange disease they have."
