Chapter 160

It's quite magical to communicate with a group of ghosts using mobile phones.

Especially when Yan saw the questions and answers displayed on the phone in front of her, she almost burst out laughing.

【Why are you chasing him? 】 (He is referring to Zhuo Si)

[We didn't chase him. He ran away when he saw us. We were afraid that he would run to someplace he shouldn't go, so we had no choice but to chase him.]

When Zhuo Si saw the conversation on the phone, he jumped up on the spot.

"Tell me something!"

"I've been running around for nothing."

He just complained a bit, then realized something and shut up immediately.

Zhuo Si thought about the two little children he saw, one without eyes and the other without a mouth.

One couldn't see him, and the other couldn't speak.

Zhuo Si was silent.

"It was my fault that I didn't understand the situation and caused you to chase me for so long." He took a deep breath and apologized.

The most important thing is, if anyone sees a ghost with missing eyes and a missing mouth, and asks himself if he is new here, won’t he be scared?

Oh, except for these two in front of me.

"So, what is going on?" Zhuo Si watched Zhu Jue's phone being passed from one ghost to another.

Ghosts who still have eyes and can see, and still have hands, can type and write down information about their situation on it.

Some words cannot be seen, so the ghost next to the person needs to write them one by one on the other person's hand.

"Excuse me, are the situations of everyone different?" Ah Yan looked directly at the group of "ghosts" in front of him and handed over his cell phone.

However, she did not think they were ghosts. Some of them had sluggish expressions, some were in a trance, as if they had no consciousness at all.

It seemed that the cell phone was passed to these ghosts, but in fact it was only passed to a few who obviously had the ability to communicate for conversation.

【They are still alive, but they are lost. We are already dead. 】

This time, the one answering the questions on the phone was a "female ghost" with no lips.

Through constant communication on the phone, Ayan and his friends learned that these ghosts, let's call them ghosts for now, did not know where exactly they were currently.

The place is filled with fog. They don't need food and wander around here every day. There were not so many "ghosts" at the beginning. The ghosts appeared little by little.

This place has existed for a long time, and I don’t know what year it is every day.

Apart from the new ghost that was inexplicably taken in, Zhuo Si could be said to be the first "living person" they had seen. However, he discovered that his two little friends did not know the difference between ghosts and humans, and as soon as they opened their mouths, Zhuo Si was frightened and ran away.

The only one who can smell the scent of incense on Zhuo Si is a ghost.

What cannot be smelled are the separated souls of living people.

People have three souls and seven spirits, and the souls and spirits here are all the spirits that disappeared at the same time as one of their own organs. Therefore, they do not have much intelligence, and the ghosts here do not hope that they will suddenly become conscious.

These ghosts were the first to smell the incense and gathered around Ayan and Zhujue.

[Your incense is strong, and many people come here. ]

[Other people have gone to other places to burn incense. ]

"Since you are behind us, why don't you speak?" A Yan asked.

She was whispering to Juejue that they were probably staying behind her while she was playing Sudoku!

【I’m afraid I’ll scare you. 】

Like him.

This "he" obviously refers to Zhuo Si.

Speaking of Zhuosi, Ayan couldn't help but look up at this guy.

The halo of "strange news intern" above Zhuo Si's head has now turned into "strange news investigator".

This guy has actually been promoted from an intern to an investigator. When Ah Yan thought of the way he ran away...well, it must be said that cherishing life is also a quality of an investigator.

Zhuo Si accidentally came here while burning paper. Maybe he has a peculiar accident-prone physique.

Ah Yan turned around and thought, considering the amount of suicidal behavior he was doing, it would be strange if nothing happened.

After understanding the situation with a group of "ghosts", Ayan and Juejue discussed it and decided to find other people to gather together.

Since "ghosts" can smell incense, those who come in all have incense on them.

It's just right to gather all the victims and outsiders together. There is strength in numbers.

Although A Yan and the other two did not know the way, the ghosts who had stayed here for a long time knew it.

There is still no signal on the phone, but every minute and every second is passing by.

Living people can't stay here for too long.

Thinking that this method was obviously not limited to Ah Yan and Jue Jue, they had not walked far before they ran into Officer Zheng Yi, who was also leading the way with a ghost.

After that, members entered this nameless realm one after another.

The mobile phone that recorded the communication between the two parties was constantly being passed around. Fortunately, Ayan and Juejue both carried power banks with them, which allowed them to last so long.

"I have a general understanding of the situation here." Officer Zheng Yi looked at Ah Mo with a tense expression.

Since entering here, the case progress bar that Zheng Yi could see has advanced a lot again, and more information has been unlocked for her.

After Zheng Yi communicated with the guide ghost on his mobile phone, more and more pieces of the puzzle of this mysterious case appeared, but the real mastermind behind the scenes was still limited.

"What we know now is that there is a gang of people who are committing atrocities against citizens, and they have even formed a complete industrial chain."

"I don't understand anything about the supernatural."

"According to the information obtained by the old case team, it includes human trafficking, mutilating victims and forcing them to beg, reselling them overseas, and organ trading." Zheng Yi's tone was heavy.

A Yan's breath was held, beautiful red envelope group, this is what is behind the beauty.

"What is certain is that this criminal gang has a special hierarchy and unknown means of communication."

"Our victims didn't even know how they were chosen and mutilated in the beginning," Zheng Yi said slowly.

"Collecting living things and dismembering them." Ah Li spoke at this moment.

"A long time ago, some people used it as a medicine, and some used it to beg for money."

"Also, collect living souls for the dead sacrifice."

The demon's face was inexplicably gloomy. "The first two I mentioned are sins committed by living people, and the last one is magic."

"This is so utterly unscrupulous!" Zhuo Si hugged himself at this moment.

"These souls are all staying in this place. The answer to our case is also very obvious, the third one." Ah Mo closed his eyes.

"In other words, we are now actually entering the place where the criminals store their souls. So here..." Zheng Yi spoke again.

"Since we are able to come here, it means that this place is not completely closed, especially in this era. The mastermind behind such means of cutting and mutilating living beings is not powerful enough to open up an independent secret realm."

"It is most likely a natural boundary, which was constructed into an entity with the help of the right time and place, and exists in the area where yin and yang meet." Ah Li gave his own analysis.

"Especially... Zhuosi was able to send out a message earlier. The signal exists, which means this is the real place."

"There is no signal now, but it is because we are in the depths of this maze."

A Yan raised his hand at this moment.

"So, Sister A-li, what you mean is that we are actually still in reality now, and this is not some virtual space."

"Sister Zheng has already said that this organization has a strict structure and such a series of industrial chains, so even if you are the one behind it, you still need to contact these subordinates."

"Since the mastermind has gathered all the souls here, could this be their lair?"

"What the hell?" Zhuo Si was completely stunned.

Ah Yan turned his head immediately.

"Zhuo Si, do you remember where you were when you sent us the message?"

Zhuo Si was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I can't remember, everything here looks the same to me."

"We know." A ghost raised his hand.

"He was running there."

With a ghost leading the way, the group of people continued to move forward in a place where they could not see the direction clearly.

"But even if there is a signal, how are we going to get out now and pass the message so that they can break the formation? But they still don't know where we are." Zhuo Si was puzzled.

Zhu Jue glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about this."

He turned to look at Ah Li, "Sister Ah Li, I have a question."

"Will the mastermind come here today? If the victims here are moved out, will they be able to notice it immediately?"

"My guess is no." said Ah Li.

"First, so many of us have come in, and Zhuo Si has been here since the early morning. No one has encountered the unknown person, which means that the other party is most likely unaware of the changes that have taken place here."

"The fog here is to trap ghosts and spirits. Or, to put it another way, this is probably a warehouse before the person behind the scenes wants to take action."

"Today is the Ghost Festival. The gates of hell are wide open and resentment is overwhelming. The other party will not set foot here today."

Ah Yan touched his chin at this moment, "That is to say, as long as we don't destroy the foundation of this formation, even if we dig up his hometown today, he may not know it?"

"That's right." Sister A-li nodded.

At this moment, they had been taken to the place where Zhuo Si had been before.

Sure enough, a weak signal appeared on the phone!

"There's a signal, but how do we get out now? Do we go find a big guy from a distance to break the formation?" Zhuo Si asked.

At this moment, Ayan and Juejue looked at each other and communicated something silently.

She lowered her head and tapped her cell phone.

After a moment, she smiled kindly.

"Well, I have an idea."

Ah Yan motioned to Officer Zheng Yi and Sister A'jue to come over and whisper. Five minutes later, everyone present, oh no, except Ah Yan and Jue Jue, looked at the wooden door that suddenly appeared in front of them, with strange expressions on their faces.

A Yan looked at the wooden door. Lu Chen had already removed the "Plane Store" sign on it, and it looked like an ordinary door!

Zheng Yi looked at his little informant and suddenly felt as if he had gotten to know him again.

Ah Li took a deep look at the two of them. The person brought here by Lingdang was indeed no ordinary person.

She just said that there are no man-made secret realms in this world today, and the two young mortals in front of them seem to be ordinary people, and they can pull out the Qiankun Gate.

"This door is borrowed temporarily. The entrance is located at Malu Bay and the exit is here. It is open to traffic in both directions."

"In this way, the police can take action at the same time to evacuate all victims, and at the same time arrange for people to enter the formation and wait for the prey to come directly to the lair."

Ah Yan said this with his finger on his chin.

"That's all we can think of."

"Anyway, this door is borrowed, and the owner may come over later."

"Then shall we leave first?"

Ayan and Juejue stepped forward at this moment and demonstrated how to pass through the wooden door with their own hands.

Seeing that the two big guys had disappeared, Zhuo Si opened his mouth wide, "Fuck, any door?"

"Is this real? Then can't we just send a million troops to the neighboring island country?"

He instantly distracted everyone present from their thoughts, and the next second, Zheng Yi and A'er looked at each other.

With this door, many things that follow will be much more convenient.

I don’t know who the owner is. Can I borrow it a few more times?

Well, this young man Zhuo Si does have some good points.
