Chapter 673 Modern Ghost World 7
In the center of the picture is a city viaduct spanning a sea of brightly lit lights.
However, the middle section of the bridge was tightly wrapped by a dark red tide, exuding an indescribable weirdness.
The information bar next to it clearly shows:
【Fushiqiao·B-level rift】
Relevant data is also listed below.
Casualty figures: 37 vehicles rear-ended each other, ghost index ↑217%.
“This is what happened before I even got on the plane.”
Shen Que spoke calmly and slowly, "Our Suzaku team is responsible for sealing the bridge, but we need a Taoist priest who knows thunder magic and can calm souls to help clear the way. This time, I would like to ask you for this favor.
Of course, our Suzaku team won't just pick up everything that's already there. Just use your thunder magic to clear a path, and we'll quickly follow."
Chu Hongyu carefully checked the information collected by Shen Que and others, and after understanding the ins and outs of the matter, he nodded slightly and agreed to participate in this operation.
The matter was urgent, so Chu Hongyu asked Shen Que to wait for a while, then went back to the house and put on the saddlebag containing various magical instruments.
"Okay, I can leave at any time." said Chu Hongyu.
Without further delay, Shen Que immediately pressed the microphone and issued an order: "Everyone of the Suzaku team, prepare, target - Fushiqiao, gather at the north end of the viaduct in fifteen minutes."
Fifteen minutes later, a helicopter slowly landed on the north side of the overpass.
The strong wind caused by the rotor blew the warning cones on the bridge all over the place.
The six field staff members of the Suzaku Group quickly pulled up the silver-gray isolation curtain. Light blue runes flowed on the curtain like water waves, wrapping the entire bridge in the barrier.
Shen Que jumped out of the cabin, the hem of his windbreaker rustling in the wind.
At this moment, the voice from the analysis room in the back came through the headset.
"The concentration of dark tide is 217% and still rising. Target node: 3.2 meters below the bridge tower beam."
"Got it." Shen Que responded.
He turned sideways to look at Chu Hongyou who had landed on the ground, and said, "Something has changed. How long will it take you to prepare?"
Chu Hongyou had already seen from the helicopter that the red tide had expanded a lot beyond the range shown on the tablet. Obviously, things were more complicated than she had expected.
"Give me three minutes." said Chu Hongyou.
The scene of the 37 cars rear-ending each other in the middle of the bridge was nothing short of tragic.
The car in the middle was like a flattened can. Needless to say, all the people there were dead.
Broken windshields littered the bridge.
In the gloomy red mist, distorted human faces were faintly emerging, with pain and despair intertwined on their faces.
These are the victims of this car accident.
Near the rear, in a severely deformed car, a young mother was stuck in the driver's seat, blood oozing from her forehead, blurring her vision.
She was one of the few survivors of the accident, but she was only holding her breath.
It was because next to her, a little girl of five or six years old was curled up in the seat, her eyes wide open in fear, her face full of tears.
"Mom..." The little girl's voice trembled. With endless fear and helplessness, she stretched out her little hand, wanting to touch her mother.
"Good girl, don't be afraid..." The mother endured the severe pain, her voice weak but full of tenderness. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at the little girl, "Mom is here and will protect you."
But what the mother and daughter couldn't see was that some of the ghosts in the red fog who had turned into ghosts and had been in a car accident with them on the bridge had already set their sights on them.
He wanted to tear the mother and daughter to pieces with his fangs and claws.
But the mother and daughter seemed to be protected by something, and the ghost could not get close to them no matter what.
The moment Chu Hongyu, Shen Que and others stepped onto the bridge, the shrill ghost howls that the mother and daughter could not hear instantly pierced everyone's ears, frantically interfering with their thoughts.
Shen Que quickly took out the instrument for analysis and quickly locked onto a direction.
His voice was steady and calm, and could still be heard clearly in the noisy environment.
"Spiritual noise 94 decibels, still rising. Xuanwei particle, stable radius 15 meters."
The higher the decibel of the "spiritual noise", the stronger the resentment.
This strong resentment will not only interfere with the accuracy of the tactical scanner in Shen Que's hand, causing distortion of node coordinates, but will also have a great negative impact on the physical and mental health of the combatants.
"Okay." Chu Hongyou responded briefly.
She immediately took out the cinnabar she had prepared in advance and skillfully and swiftly drew the "Imperial Order·Thunder Department" formation on the bridge surface.
As her fingers danced quickly, the ink line moved automatically, and the seven Five Emperors' coins were accurately nailed into seven positions.
With a soft "hum", a circle of pale golden Bagua phantoms slowly rose from the bridge surface, emitting a soft and powerful light, instantly suppressing the cries of the resentful spirits into faint whimpers.
Upon seeing this, the members of the Suzaku Group immediately took action.
They quickly began to clear out the ghosts that had just turned into ghosts in this area, chanting spells for salvation, and the magic weapons in their hands flashed with mysterious light.
Thanks to their efforts, the ghosts gradually calmed down, turned into tiny bits of light, and were liberated to the underworld.
However, in addition to these newly formed ghosts, there are also some ghosts that overflow from the Fushi acupoints.
These ghosts are evil and aggressive by nature and must be killed directly.
The number of souls that needed to be liberated was not large, and the members of the Suzaku Group cooperated well and completed the task quickly.
At the same time, the two team members carefully escorted the only two remaining survivors, a mother and daughter, out of the dangerous area and sent them to the hospital for treatment.
As the survivors were safely transferred, Chu Hongyou activated his spiritual sense and Chen Jue operated the instrument. They both located the source of the incident at the same time, which was just below the shadow of the bridge tower.
Although satellites can also locate, they can only give an approximate location, so there must be a combat analyst accompanying the team to provide technical support at all times.
"The target is right there, everyone proceed carefully." Shen Que gave orders into the headset.
The members of the Suzaku team moved forward steadily while clearing out the ghosts that overflowed from the rift, and soon arrived near the rift.
Meng Hu, a member of the Strength Department known for his ferocity, frowned and said, "Before the Yin Tide was this severe, satellite analysis showed that the most vulnerable spells here were Thunder and Fire spells.
Although other spells have some effect, they are likely to turn it into nutrients to nourish it. Now it seems to be true.
I cut it a few times, and not only did it leave no marks, but the membrane at the entrance seemed to have thickened."
Another wind-type team member, codenamed Wuying, nodded in agreement: "It seems that Shen Que is foresighted. He went out to investigate something and brought back the people we need."
