Chapter 345: Inhuman (153) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
Brother Yin fell into confusion after Bai Jin mentioned that name.
When Yuan Shanming gradually fell into deep thought after hearing a few words from his teammates, and then frowned with his chin in his hand, he finally found the right time to speak: "That...is his name Ersi?"
He looked directly at Ersi, who seemed to be the most reliable member of the opposing team.
"Excuse me, what is this city of violence you are talking about?" He blinked and said in a friendly tone.
When Yuan Shanming first introduced his team, he said that they came from the Port of Raging Waves. Now he mentioned the City of Violence. It was obvious that their team was hiding something from him.
Teams in the no-man's land rarely cooperate, and it is common for one team leader to hide the true situation of his team from the other team. He also concealed something from Yuan Shanming. But now it seems that the strange story they are in is related to the place where Yuan Shanming's team has been. Although Brother Yin knew that asking this question was a bit abrupt, he still asked it.
"Uh..." Xiao Tang shook Yuan Shanming, "Brother Yuan, do you want to tell me?"
"Go ahead," Yuan Shanming pressed his solar plexus and glanced out the window where various sounds were still coming out. "The more people know, the more people will think about it."
They were not very clear about Hang Yiqing's affairs, but they had witnessed the more than ten years that this man had spent in Zi Street, and during these ten years, there had never been a church of this architectural style.
Although Xiao Tang looks reckless, he can be very careful when he really needs to use his brain.
Yuan Shanming asked her to talk, and she did not pour out everything at once. Instead, she embellished their experience and packaged herself as an unlucky newcomer who followed the team leader around everywhere.
According to Xiao Tang's description, they were originally a team from the Port of Raging Waves, but they were unlucky and encountered the Gu King who was slaughtering indiscriminately in Port N. It happened that the Monopoly was completed and the team from the City of Violence won the championship. The probability of triggering strange stories increased significantly, so everyone rushed to the City of Violence.
In the city of violence, they accidentally triggered a ghost story in the purple street of the slums and saw what happened more than ten years ago. They unexpectedly learned that a big ghost story in the no-man's land had been here and left.
Later, because of some things, they had to leave the City of Violence and come to the no-man's land. Unexpectedly, they happened to run into this ghost story. There were so many coincidences that everyone immediately thought of the big ghost story they had seen in the City of Violence Ghost Story before.
What she said was rather vague, but she did not skip over several key points.
The Big Ghost Talk who came from the No Man's Land to the Purple Street, this Big Ghost Talk once lived in the Purple Street for a period of time but was backstabbed by someone in the Purple Street so he left. The Big Ghost Talk might have a grudge against some forces in the Purple Street, and most importantly, he probably brought a human from the Purple Street back here.
After hearing this, Brother Yin also fell into deep thought. Like Yuan Shanming, he held his chin and said nothing. After a while, he slowly asked, "If this strange story is the one you have seen, can you talk to him directly and ask him to let us out?"
It sounds like this weird guy named Hang Yiqing isn't a bad guy?
After all, he has lived in the slums of the violent city for more than ten years, and has a group of human minions who have adopted a human child. He doesn't look like the type who would have any malice towards humans.
Should be easy to talk to, right?
"No...are you serious?" Xiao Tang twitched his lips. "Even if this weird story is about Hang Yiqing, what are you going to say?"
"Hi, big brother. Although you don't know us, we know you. Not only do we know you, we also know how you ran away from home and left the no-man's land, then entered the slums of the violent capital, found a boyfriend, adopted a child, and founded a gang. In the end, the child turned into a white-eyed wolf shark. What happened to your whole family?"
She spat out a string of words like a machine gun, and finally concluded: "Oh my god, it's a good thing that Big Brother didn't punch you."
Brother Yin twitched his lips and had to admit that she was right.
No matter how good-tempered a person is, if their past is inexplicably revealed to them and their scars are exposed in front of them, they will even be sent away after their scars are exposed.
Anyone who can do this is probably a living Bodhisattva.
He didn't think a ghost story could be a living Buddha.
"Hiss... Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Brother Yin frowned and pressed his solar plexus for a long time, "If you are sure that this strange story is the one you are talking about, let me think about whether I know anything about him in the No Man's Land."
A ghost story that has been to the capital of violence is likely to be more recognizable than other ghost stories.
After thinking for a while, probably because he couldn't think of anything relevant, Brother Yin directly opened the terminal and began to ask his few friends who were the leaders of the No Man's Land one by one.
While the two team leaders had things to do, Xu Zichen gave Bai Jinshu a frantic look. Bai Jinshu nodded slightly, indicating that Xiao Tang did not tell the whole truth and that he would tell him the details later.
Guan Hongyan didn't say a word from beginning to end. After lying on the bed and letting her hair half dry, she found a rubber band to tie it up, then came over and spoke to Bai Jin in a low voice.
"Do you think... this weird talk is about Hang Yiqing?" She winked and motioned Bai Jinshu to look out the window. "This voice doesn't sound like the voice he made when he spent the night in Zijie. It sounds more like Lu Yun's."
They entered three nightmares in total. There were naturally no important clues in Master Zhan's Chef King Competition. In the next two illusions in Purple Street, the Purple Street night experienced by Qiao Bie was obviously much more peaceful than the one experienced by Lu Yun.
When Lu Yun was in Zi Street, people died every night. At night, all kinds of noises that made people unable to think carefully could be heard outside the door. This situation was not alleviated until Hang Yiqing entered Zi Street.
By the time he arrived at Qiao Bie, the nights on Purple Street had become almost peaceful. The posthumous son of the investment bank employee seemed to have some mysterious ability to block the undead. Except for a few sporadic nights when the surrounding gangs came for help, there were rarely such big noises at night in Qiao Bie's fantasy world.
Guan Hongyan had been thinking about this question without saying anything.
"I don't think this ghost story is Hang Yiqing," she continued in a low voice without waiting for Bai Jinshu to answer, "He is a big ghost story with some strength. He hasn't seen such a scene since entering Purple Street. I guess he has never experienced such a night."
"Yeah," Bai Jinshu nodded slightly, "I also think it's impossible."
"Have you forgotten what he said before?" He shifted his gaze slightly in the direction of Huai Jiamu, indicating to Guan Hongyan that Brother Yin was present.
Huai Jiamu had said before when the programmer sent a reply to collect data that the live broadcast within this ghost story seemed to be suppressed by a larger ghost story and was not allowed to be broadcast externally.
Although the ghost story itself is mixed with the strong atmosphere of ghost stories, it is not the S-type ghost story that is widely recognized by everyone.
"You mean... that one is Hang Yiqing?" Guan Hongyan's mind raced.
Is it Hang Yiqing who is suppressing the live broadcast and not allowing the content to be broadcast externally?
So who is this weirdo?
"What are you two whispering about behind my back?" The two were halfway through their conversation when they heard a faint question from behind.
"...Xiao Tang," Guan Hongyan turned around speechlessly, "You also know what we know. We are just integrating clues to figure out the situation. How could we do this behind your back?"
There were only so many people awake in the room, so it was perfectly legal for her to get close to Bai Jinshu.
At best, she was hiding it from Brother Yin. After all, Xiao Tang didn't tell the truth, and some things were not convenient for Brother Yin, who was not one of them, to know.
"So what are you two talking about?" Xiao Tang leaned forward curiously, "Let me listen too."
"We both suspect that this ghost story is not Hang Yiqing," Bai Jinshu said, "Although some details here match those of the City of Violence, it doesn't look like an S-level ghost story. Besides, Hang Yiqing has never seen a purple street like this at night."
Hang Yiqing is definitely a big ghost in the no-man's land. Taking Huai Jiamu as an example, most ghosts will be shaved to the floor after leaving their spawning area, but he was able to demolish Xuxu Photo Studio.
Hang Yiqing was born in an uninhabited area, but he was able to defeat countless colleagues in Purple Street, which shows that he is not restricted by the weakening buff of leaving the generated area. He must be a big weird without a doubt.
"Oh..." Xiao Tang said in a long tone, "So you think this weird story can't be about Hang Yiqing himself... No, it's not a weird story, but it must be related to Purple Street or the City of Violence. Plus, he's the only one we know of who has a weird story related to the No Man's Land and the City of Violence, so we're stuck in a dead end?"
"Almost." Guan Hongyan nodded.
"What's so difficult about this?" Xiao Tang disagreed. "If it's not Hang Yiqing, then it's Lao Guan who left the violent city with him and went to the no-man's land."
"But is Lao Guan a ghost story?" Guan Hongyan twitched her lips.
Isn’t Lao Guan a human?
"That's right," Xiao Tang puffed out his lips, "Then there's no one else besides him."
"And he has to be related to the big weird story, but he himself is not a big weird story, and he has to have been to the city of violence," Xiao Tang counted these conditions on his fingers, "So it can only be Lao Guan, or is there someone else in this big weird story that we don't know about?"
All the members of the Purple Street Gang died in the fire. Qiao Bie himself is still the head of the gang in the City of Violence. Dai Quan is the leader and has nothing to do with this matter.
Only the old pass is left.
Eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining answer, no matter how unbelievable it is, is the only answer to this question.
The three of them slowly looked at each other and saw doubt and hesitation in each other's eyes.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..." Xiao Tang jumped to Yuan Shanming's side, and before he could speak, he put his arm around his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Brother Yuan, do you think it's possible for humans to become a ghost story?"
Yuan Shanming frowned and raised his head: "Hmm?"
*
When they woke up the next morning, Feng Shuang and You Yi, who had not participated in the vigil the night before, were educated by their team leader about Hang Yiqing.
Since Zhou Ju's performance was indeed a bit strange, the two teams temporarily reached a consensus not to let them know this information for the time being.
A group of people walked downstairs. The two people walking at the end were frowning and had huge dark circles under their eyes.
Yuan Shanming walked in front, limping.
The two people with dark circles under their eyes are Brother Yin and Xiao Tang. Brother Yin's dark circles are from the time he contacted other team leaders the night before and asked if anyone knew Hang Yiqing, or knew of an S-level ghost story that had left the No Man's Land.
The dark circles under Xiao Tang's eyes were obviously from the soul-searching he had done last night.
Is it possible for humans to become a ghost?
"Honestly, yes," Yuan Shanming had expected them to ask, and he sighed, "But in general, it's not that humans become ghost stories, but that humans have the ability to start ghost stories. This ability requires a carrier, such as a camera, a haunted house, or a special item."
"For example, the Teahouse," he cited an old acquaintance as an example, "the strange story is not about the owner himself, but the building of the teahouse. It's just that the building belongs to him, so he also has the ability to start a strange story."
The current owner of the teahouse got this building by accident and became a part of this strange story, but fundamentally, this strange story has no direct connection with him. Whoever is the owner of the teahouse can become the person who starts the strange story.
"Then is it possible that this church belongs to Lao Guan?" Xiao Tang blinked.
"Hmm...it's possible, but architectural ghost stories can't be moved, otherwise why do we have to pass through the locust tree every time we enter the teahouse?" Yuan Shanming pondered for a moment, "But if we don't talk about the bug that the church can't be moved, as far as I know, if a ghost story is opened by humans like the [Teahouse], it needs to be controlled all the time. If he wants to open a ghost story, he must appear within the range of the ghost story and cannot leave."
"It is very likely that in order to bring Lao Guan to the no-man's land, Hang Yiqing did something to this immobile monster." He added.
Everyone has been here for several days. If the one who pulled them in is Laoguan, then he must appear within this range.
"After all, the ghost story is about the church itself, not him," Yuan Shanming scratched his head. "The reason why Old Sun from the Teahouse keeps appearing in the teahouse is not because he doesn't want to leave, but once he leaves, the Teahouse, as a ghost story, will be out of control, and all teams that enter it may be wiped out, so he must control it from within."
"Oh, yes, there is another thing. Although the ownership is in the hands of humans, it may be taken away by others after leaving. After all, the ghost story is essentially a building, not the owner," he added, suddenly remembering, "So if this church is related to Lao Guan, he must appear within the scope of the church's ghost story and cannot leave."
Yuan Shanming has seen many strange stories and is the leader of the City of the Dead, so his knowledge in this area is much broader than Brother Yin's.
He went to sleep peacefully after saying this. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang, who asked this question, had a sleepless night. The next morning, he woke up and said, "Brother Yuan, I've been thinking about it all night. Which of the two nuns do you think is Lao Guan?"
Yuan Shanming stumbled and fell off the bed, his right knee hitting the bedside. He gasped loudly, "Hiss..."
Xiao Tang: “…Pfft.”
Bai Jinshu almost stumbled, but fortunately Huai Jiamu was quick to catch him and prevented him from becoming the second person to get hit in the leg.
The impact of Xiao Tang's words was so great that he felt his cerebellum was about to shrink. He leaned against Huai Jiamu for several seconds before slowly uttering, "...Thank you."
The expressions of other people in the room were also varied.
Guan Hongyan's expression looked like she had a ton of complaints to throw out, while Huangmao slowly opened his mouth.
Brother Yin’s eyes were bigger than copper bells, while Xu Zichen’s mouth twitched, his eyelids twitched, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
The world finally became what he wanted it to be when he was the Gu King, and the first one to go crazy was Xiao Tang.
Feng Shuang and You Yi, who both slept last night, didn't know what was going on. Jin Ling... Jin Ling couldn't hear.
Yuan Shanming lay on the ground holding his knees and crying in pain for a long time before he limped to his feet.
After standing up, the leader who always doted on the suicidal genius Xiao Tang was silent for a long time, and then he said to Xiao Tang solemnly: "You...stay away from me this morning."
He couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it.
Xiao Tang walked at the end of the team with a wronged look on his face, watching Yuan Shanming limping away, and then walked with Brother Yin, who also had huge dark circles under his eyes.
This girl is good at thinking.
While eating, everyone looked at the two nuns who were nearly 40 years old, but whose bodies were particularly slender due to insufficient food intake, and whose feminine sexual characteristics were obvious. The face of Lao Guan and his arms full of tattoos flashed through everyone's mind, and they wished they could dig out their own eyes.
This was probably the quietest meal since we entered here.
No one was whispering to their companions. Everyone ate one bite at a time with an extremely numb expression. From time to time, they would raise their heads and glance at the two nuns, with a trace of pain in their eyes, and then continue to eat with their heads down.
Yuan Shanming was afraid that if he stayed with Xiao Tang for too long she might say something, so he and Brother Yin ran away after dinner.
As for the remaining team members, Xu Zichen was pulled away by Guan Hongyan to explain the situation of [Nightmare] in detail. When Bai Jinshu looked up after finishing his meal, he saw that only he, Xiao Tang and a few of Zhou Ju's team members were left at the table.
He refused to be alone with Xiao Tang and quickly pulled Huai Jiamu to find Yuan Shanming.
Yuan Shanming and Yin Ge were in the corner of the church, seemingly talking about something, with rare excitement on their faces.
"What's wrong, Brother Yuan?" Bai Jinshu glanced at Brother Yin, "Did Brother Yin ask for any clues about Hang Yiqing?"
Brother Yin asked all night last night. He knew the answer. After all, he was the team leader in the No Man's Land for many years. He could dig out a lot of friends in the terminal. Not to mention that according to the clues provided by everyone, Hang Yiqing left the No Man's Land at least ten or twenty years ago, and came back here several years ago.
Brother Yin is an old team leader, and most of the people in his friend list are also old team leaders, so they are really a professional match.
"No," Brother Yin said with a look of joy on his face. "It's not that I asked about Hang Yiqing, it's the live broadcast!"
live streaming?
Bai Jinshu was startled and looked up at Yuan Shanming.
A hint of worry flashed across Yuan Shanming's eyes.
"Just now the live broadcast seemed to be connected for a moment," Brother Yin said with a smile, not noticing the exchange of glances between the two people. "Just now a friend of mine sent me a message. I exited the message list and suddenly saw the live broadcast light up for a moment, then went dark again. It was connected for about a few seconds. The programmer must have started fixing the bug."
"Brother Yin, have you seen the name of this live broadcast?" Bai Jinshu frowned in his heart, but still showed a hint of surprise on the surface, "What exactly is this weird talk of ours?"
"I took a look," Brother Yin said happily, "Although it's not an S-level ghost story, I got a B, which is not bad. My schedule was originally scheduled to end with a few C-level and D-level stories, so this B-level one is a good pick.
"What's your name?" Yuan Shanming sighed inwardly and asked with concern.
"The name is quite straightforward, it's called 'Church'," Brother Yin shrugged, "It doesn't tell you anything."
"Oh, by the way, was your live broadcast room open just now?" he suddenly remembered.
"I didn't notice." Bai Jinshu looked at Yuan Shanming, "Brother Yuan and I will pay attention to it later."
"Okay," Brother Yin's mood suddenly improved a lot. He didn't notice that Yuan Shanming's expression was not right. He waved his hand and walked forward. "Then I'll ask Feng Shuang and Shi Yuan. You guys should pay more attention in the future."
After Brother Yin walked away, Yuan Shanming spoke with a hint of worry: "It's broken, will there be any problem if their live broadcast is connected?"
Bai Jin told him what Huai Jiamu had said, that the live broadcast had no signal because it was suppressed by some big weird story, and the content here was not allowed to be broadcast outside.
But for the sake of keeping Huai Jiamu's special identity secret, they did not tell Brother Yin. Yuan Shanming did not know that Xu Zichen and he were acquaintances, which meant that from his perspective, all five people in Brother Yin's team had uploaded their terminal information.
After last night's discovery, this weird story that suppressed the live broadcast has been directly equated with Hang Yiqing in everyone's mind.
Hang Yiqing had been suppressing the live broadcast, but now the programmer directly fixed the bug and connected the live broadcast for more than ten seconds. Yuan Shanming was worried that they would be targeted by the other party.
"Although I don't know why Hang Yiqing is holding back the live broadcast..." He sighed, his face worried, "But if this happens, will there be any problems?"
"I don't know," Bai Jinshu shrugged, and sighed that this day had finally come. He said in a very casual tone, "It would be better for me to die than for my fellow Taoist to die."
Even if Hang Yiqing was eyeing this live broadcast signal, it had nothing to do with those people whose live broadcasts were still disconnected and displaying garbled characters.
"...That's right." Yuan Shanming pressed his solar plexus, "Rather than worrying about them, I should worry about Xiao Tang."
They just met by chance on the other side and they reluctantly got together to be teammates. Even if someone died, it had nothing to do with them.
But if this damn girl Xiao Tang's brain circuit isn't corrected, she'll choke to death sooner or later.
Yuan Shanming felt a throbbing pain in his temples and walked towards Xiao Tang.
Bai Jinshu felt that he had to tell Xu Zichen and Guan Hongyan the news. The live broadcast might be connected at any time in the future. If he wanted to say or do anything, he had to stay away from the three of them. He followed Yuan Shanming and walked towards Guan Hongyan and Xu Zichen.
At this moment, something strange happened.
Suddenly, an explosion was heard in the distance.
"Bang."
The sound was not loud, but compared to the sound of artillery fire at night, the explosion was much closer to them.
Along with the explosion came the sounds of breaking and shattering glass.
Bai Jinshu subconsciously raised his arm to block it. His sleeves were long, so he could vaguely feel something small hitting his arm. When he looked up, he found that it was broken glass.
To be more precise, it was the church's stained glass window that was broken.
Colorful glass was scattered all over the ground, and the first to be hit were the people standing under the colorful windows.
Bai Jinshu's pupils suddenly shrank.
Seal the frost.
Feng Shuang covered her neck, blood gushed out, and she half-knelt on the ground. Zhou Zhou stood beside her, frantically trying to stop the bleeding.
The shattered glass fragments cut her throat.
