Chapter 105 Madness and Chaos
Wei Yanqing patted Yan Huaqing on the shoulder to comfort him: "There aren't many people as clear-headed as you."
In this situation, too many experiments cannot be conducted, otherwise the alliance's situation will be even worse.
"Since you can't do the experiment, the two of us will try to catch one."
Rong Yi's words were not spoken in the heat of the moment. The human resistance organization was unaware of the Ghost Lord's affairs; they could only ask the ghost.
Catching a ghost can not only help the resistance organization, but also be used to extract information through experiments.
Yan Huaqing looked at them with starry eyes, "Really? Thank you so much! What do you need? I'll get it right away."
Wei Yanqing: "I don't need it for now, I just need to borrow this place to stay until tonight."
“Of course.” Yan Huaqing said, then hesitated and added, “But you really have to leave tonight. If the ghosts come here, it will affect the people living here. If you need a place to stay, I can find a detached house in the suburbs.”
I saw the hotel where these two were staying last night, and now they need to borrow his place to stay until tonight, so it's obvious they don't have a place to stay.
Rong Yi: "Okay, give us the house keys next time you come."
Free temporary accommodation was obtained just like that.
"But it gets dark quite early now. Was it like this before?" Wei Yanqing asked him.
Yan Huaqing frowned and shook his head. "No, it wasn't like this before. Now it's the end of summer, and it shouldn't be completely dark until after seven o'clock. But since last month, we have to avoid staying outside around six o'clock."
Rong Yi: "Are there many ghosts at night?"
"I don't know either, because I never go out at night. But the main reason there are no people on the road is that everyone has to watch the show on time. Except for the Ghost King's fanatical followers who can go out, everyone else stays at home."
It seems we can only find out how many ghosts there are at night by waiting for them tonight.
·
It was already half dark before six o'clock.
After saying goodbye to Wei Yanqing and Yan Huaqing, Rong Yi walked out of the alley.
Just like last night, there wasn't a single car on the road, and the whole city was silent. All the windows in sight were covered by curtains.
Wei Yanqing released the carriage and waved to Rong Yi: "Get in the carriage, we might see a procession of believers if we wander around."
The car was moving slowly, and the two looked out at the city, which seemed like a ghost town.
Time quickly passed 6:30, and they encountered their first group of believers.
Unlike last night when they passed each other peacefully, today this team stopped in their tracks and blatantly blocked their path.
Wei Yanqing slowly stopped the car, and the two sides remained in a standoff.
Finally, the group of believers could no longer hold back, and the leader, who was holding the soul-guiding banner, asked in a hoarse voice, "How can you all be outside during the broadcast of the sacrificial program?"
Wei Yanqing responded with a beeping sound from a horn.
“Stubborn to the end,” the flag bearer said in a somber tone.
Rong Yi opened the car door, jumped out, and slowly walked to the front of the car. He leaned against the hood, arms crossed, and said, "Will this thing you're carrying attract ghosts?"
Before the flag bearer could speak, those behind him couldn't help but shout, "How dare you! You should address him respectfully as 'Sir'!"
"Heh—" Rong Yi laughed, "A ghost is a ghost. Just tell me whether you're moving aside or not."
“You are the sinners who disrespected the Ghost King last night,” the flag bearer said in a hoarse voice.
Wei Yanqing also got out of the car. Rong Yi tilted his head and looked at them all, "You're not very familiar with the business. You only recognized us now."
Upon hearing this, the people in the group moved from the back of the group to the left and right sides, completely blocking the way.
One of the men, dressed in white robes, stepped forward and declared, "I am willing to sacrifice my body to summon the Ghost Lord Jin Ning."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him pulled out a long knife.
"No need for all that trouble." Rong Yi was too lazy to look at their sacrificial rituals anymore. He pointed his pistol at the flag bearers and fired a few shots swiftly and decisively.
The bullet stopped in front of the flag bearer, then fell to the ground a second later.
Suddenly, darkness enveloped everything around them, leaving only the procession of believers carrying flags and lanterns opposite them.
Ring ring—
The sound of bells came from not far away, followed by a chilling red light.
The congregation made way for the kneeling crowd on both sides, prostrating themselves with their elbows, knees, and heads touching the ground.
The red glow emanating from it was from a large red sedan chair, carried by more than ten "people." The sedan chair was extremely luxurious, and a figure sat inside the flowing red gauze.
Rong Yi had good eyesight and could see that the figure was wearing a jeweled crown with beaded tassels covering its face, dressed in a bright red brocade robe, and holding a round fan in front of its face. If you ignored the terrifying atmosphere, the scene was actually quite beautiful.
In the blink of an eye, the sedan chair procession rushed in front of them.
More than twenty burly male ghosts carrying the sedan chair lowered it, and a female ghost dressed as a maid bent over and stretched out her hand, with one hand holding a fan resting on it, and stepped out of the sedan chair. Two other female ghosts in ancient costumes lowered their heads and pulled open the red veil.
"Pay homage to the Ghost Lord Jin Ning!" the kneeling crowd shouted in unison.
“Near-third rank,” Wei Yanqing transmitted to Rong Yi.
This level was lower than Rong Yi had imagined, so he had no qualms about facing it. Without saying a word, Rong Yi raised his gun and fired a bullet.
Just as before, the bullet stopped in front of this demon king.
It slowly lowered its fan, its eyes, adorned with red makeup, looking at the two of them. The fan still covered the lower half of its face. "What an impolite woman."
Rong Yi put away his gun. "Are wandering ghosts worth paying respects to?"
The ghostly eyes that had been merely observing her suddenly turned icy cold.
In an instant, Rong Yi lightly touched the ground with his toes and headed straight for Jin Ning Ghost Lord, while Wei Yanqing controlled the others and the ghost.
Those who were kneeling could not get up, and the ghosts that intended to attack them exploded one after another, their smoke and mist gathering on Wei Yanqing like flowing water.
Jin Ning Ghost Lord tossed aside the fan, revealing an extremely beautiful face. His nails, painted with henna, stretched out more than ten centimeters, like sharp blades aimed at Rong Yi.
Rong Yi's arm brushed past his nails, and he hooked his elbow around Jin Ning Ghost Lord's arm, using the force of his whole body to throw him.
When the female ghost touched Rong Yi, she materialized; when she was thrown away, she vanished and reappeared beside Rong Yi the next second.
Rong Yi reacted extremely quickly, using his arm to unleash a powerful parrying punch. The female ghost was sent flying, her jeweled crown torn off her hair and fell to the side. The disheveled female ghost finally revealed her true face, the decay hidden beneath her beautiful face surfacing, her voluptuous figure disappearing, and her brocade robe billowing in the wind, clinging tightly to her bones.
"Ah—!" The shriek was piercing and unpleasant to hear.
Rong Yi realized that it was no match for him, so he turned and asked, "What are you planning to use to cover her up?"
Wei Yanqing walked over and tossed out an iron cage. "Use this. Just throw it in. Do you need me to do it for you?"
Rong Yi waved his hand dismissively, "No need, I haven't had enough yet." After saying that, he ran towards the female ghost king, "Remember not to let it get away."
She can fight ghosts, but she can't control them from running away.
The female ghost king realized that her attacks, which relied on soul power, were ineffective against Rong Yi unless he possessed equally outstanding close combat abilities, which she did not have!
Desperate to escape, it discovered that an invisible cage had appeared around it, but it still faded away as if it had disappeared.
Wei Yanqing said loudly, "You are 206 meters away at three o'clock."
Rong Yi understood immediately, and quickly ran up and delivered a flying knee strike, directly causing the female ghost to appear.
