Chapter 3 Repaying kindness with enmity: Yu Qing quickly got out of bed and opened the door…
Yu Qing quickly got out of bed and opened the door. "What happened?"
At this moment, Yu Qing noticed that the siren outside was making a loud "biubiu" sound.
"The ghost is coming! The police have been called outside. Let's run out quickly!" Gu Tuo had already dressed and packed snacks and water into his backpack.
Upon seeing this, Yu Qing turned around and went back to get dressed. He grabbed his backpack and discovered that he had finished all the snacks and had nothing left to put in it.
Embarrassingly, he could only stuff the remaining two cartons of milk into his pocket.
Then he went out and escaped with Gu Tuo.
There were many people in the apartment building, and everyone was running. Some people were in such a panic that they didn't even change their clothes and ran downstairs in their pajamas.
A man wearing only his underwear was running wildly with two gold bars in his hands.
Everyone was afraid of dying, so when they ran, they bumped into each other.
Yu Qing took Gu Tuo's hand and pulled him to his side.
"Don't push into the crowd."
"Where do we run to?" Gu Tuo panicked a little and blindly followed the crowd.
Yu Qing pulled him to stand under the eaves of the building.
"Observe first; running blindly is not an option."
They are standing under the eaves of the convenience store at the entrance of the residential area.
Many people drove away on the road.
At first, we drove through, and the roads were clear.
But soon, the roads became congested.
Some people have stopped paying attention to traffic lights, and once someone starts breaking the rules, order will quickly collapse.
In less than ten minutes, traffic had already started to back up ahead, and horns were beeping.
"Are we safe once we leave the area of the black ghostly aura?" Yu Qing asked.
"Yes, ghosts and monsters will appear within the area of ghost energy, but not outside. The ghost energy seems to be denser over there, and it's so dark over there," Gu Tuo said, pointing in a direction where there was already a traffic jam.
Just now, everyone fled blindly, and many cars were heading in that direction.
“Then let’s go in the opposite direction,” Yu Qing said.
"Let's go." Gu Tuo didn't hesitate and turned to run in another direction with Yu Qing.
The direction they ran in had less ghostly energy and higher visibility.
At this time, the neighborhood committee and local police officers came out to maintain order.
They were all holding small megaphones and shouting, and holding up white lights to attract attention.
Yu Qing suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ear, like a signal that came and went.
Ah Li?
Yu Qing was overjoyed.
Is that Ali?
Yu Qing heard A Li's cute electronic voice in his ear: Darling, I've finally connected to the signal here!
Yu Qing: Ali! Scan the map!
Ah Li: Okay!
Yu Qing: Which route can get us out of the ghostly aura area the fastest?
Ali: I'm analyzing the concentration of ghost energy and the road conditions. Oh ho ho, there's traffic jam all around. The southwest direction is closest to the edge of the ghost energy coverage.
"Qingqing, let's go over there too, there are police officers there," Gu Tuo said, pulling Yu Qing along and pointing northeast.
"No, that way is too far, let's go this way." Yu Qing grabbed Gu Tuo and ran, not giving him a chance to hesitate.
The others followed the instructions and ran northeast.
The two of them slipped into the alley, where there were fewer people and they could run fast.
At first, Gu Tuo was scared, but he soon discovered that the ghostly aura around him was very thin.
"Qingqing, you've chosen a great direction. There's no ghostly energy around here."
"Is this the back gate of the park?" Yu Qing asked.
"Yes, we can stay in the park. There are public restrooms, pavilions, and vending machines in the park."
"That's great." Yu Qing and Gu Tuo successfully reached the place where the ghost energy was the thinnest.
We entered the park.
Many nearby residents also took refuge in the park.
“We should be fine here, right? None of the instruments are alarming anymore, so the ghostly aura here shouldn’t be too strong,” an older man said.
An older woman said, "Let's stick together and keep warm, don't get separated, just rest around here."
"We're safe now," Yu Qing said.
Gu Tuo breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go to the grass over there and have some snacks."
“Okay.” Yu Qing followed Gu Tuo toward the meadow.
Many people were resting on the grass. It was 2:30 a.m. and everyone was quite sleepy. After leaving the area covered by ghostly energy, many people relaxed and lay down on the grass to sleep.
They're already snoring.
Yu Qing had only taken a few steps when he heard a buzzing sound again.
Poor signal?
Ah Li, are you still there?
After a while, Ah Li's voice came through intermittently: "The signal is better in places with a lot of ghostly energy..."
"I see," Yu Qing understood.
"Tuo, you stay here, I'm going back."
"Huh? Are you crazy? Why are you going back?"
"When I came out just now, I saw a pregnant woman alone in the alley. I went back to check on her before things got too serious. She had such a big belly; it would be terrible if a ghost ate her." Yu Qing blurted out a big lie.
Gu Tuo's eyes lit up as he looked at Yu Qing. "Qingqing, you're too kind! Did the grapefruit juice give you the courage?"
"Yeah, it was your grapefruit water that warded off the evil spirits for me, so I'm not afraid. If the ghostly aura spreads in a little while, just run outside. You don't need to wait for me; I'll get out on my own." Yu Qing said as he ran into the area of the ghostly aura.
"Be careful!" Gu Tuo shouted, watching Yu Qing's figure disappear into the dark mist.
As soon as I entered an area with a high concentration of ghostly energy, the signal improved.
Ah Li immediately jumped out: "Wow, we're still alive!"
"Ali, what's going on? Can we go back?"
"I don't know. This world is different from our original world. Let's just say we've traveled through time. It's a blessing to be alive. Honey, why have you gotten shorter?"
"This is someone else's body, just make do with it." Yu Qing used to be a handsome guy with 1.83 meters tall, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
Now, he's 1.7 meters tall and as thin as a bamboo pole.
Fortunately, his face hasn't changed.
A-Li: "It's okay, as long as I have my reputation, I'll live my life."
Yu Qing: "We really are on the same wavelength."
A-Li: "The ghost energy concentration here is already 1,500. If we go any further in, it should be close to 2,000. According to the setting of this world, ghosts will start to appear over there. How exciting! I really want to see!"
Yu Qing: "All my equipment is gone."
A-Li: "I've put it away for you, but the signal is bad here, so I can't give it to you. Go to a place with lots of ghosts, and I can teleport all your equipment to you."
Yu Qing: "Are you really not just lying to me because you're curious about ghosts?"
A-Li: "How could you say that to me? It will make me sad, waaaaaah."
Yu Qing: "Stop pretending, you have no heart."
A-Li: "Who said that? I have them, I have three chips!"
Yu Qing smiled and walked towards the central area where the ghostly energy was concentrated.
“Ali, I’m so happy that you’re still by my side.”
A-Li was moved by Yu Qing's sincere voice.
She said shyly, "I'm very happy too!"
"Ali, can you use all the functions here?"
A-Li: "I am updating my data package according to the actual situation. After the update is completed, I think I should be able to use the full functionality. In places without ghostly energy, I can use the offline package without any issues."
"How far have we progressed to now?"
One percent.
"..." Yu Qing was a little speechless. "Is the signal this bad here?"
"Yeah, it's terrible. If the ghost energy concentration were 10,000 points, I estimate it could be much faster."
"It's already this chaotic at less than 2,000 points; I don't even want to think about 10,000 points."
Yu Qing walked back, and many people running out passed by him.
Most people ignored him, but a few kind people told him he was going the wrong way.
There are still good people in this world.
"Ali, I'm pregnant."
"What? My child? I didn't do anything?!"
"Don't go crazy, I don't know whose it is, but I'm pregnant anyway. You need to think about what I should do next?"
"I'll raise it if it's born!"
"How will you feed yourself? You don't even have a penny."
"I'd rob a bank for you."
"Don't be crazy, let's be serious."
Do you want to give birth?
"Hmm, I want to try it out and see what it's like to have two children."
"Oh, I see. Then I guess I'll just have to work hard to make money. I've already found ten ways to make quick money in this world for you!"
"Eliminate illegal and criminal methods."
"Oh... well... then there are two more ways to make quick money."
Tell me about it.
"First, marry a rich man and spend his billions of assets."
"The second one."
"The second thing is that you need to work hard to make money."
"Is there any difference between this and not saying anything at all?"
"I've found a way to make money too. Live-streaming ghost killing can earn you some money from the live stream. You can also exchange ghost crystals for substantial rewards with the official channels. At the end of each Ghost Realm event, treasures will randomly drop. If you manage to grab a treasure, you can sell it for a high price at the auction. This is currently the most suitable way for you to make money quickly and legally."
“I think it’s a good idea.” As Yu Qing spoke, he had already arrived at the central area where the ghost energy concentration was the highest.
There's no one here anymore, and visibility is very low. Even if all the streetlights are on, you might only see a blurry white dot.
From afar, the voice of someone using a small megaphone could still be heard shouting: "The ghost Fusu is coming soon! Everyone, run to where there are lights! If you can't run anymore, hide indoors in a small space! Cabinets, boxes, and trash cans will all work; ghosts won't open the lids!"
＊
Yu Qing stood in the darkness, and the noise around him grew louder and louder.
The temperature plummeted, and it was bitterly cold.
Ali: A strong signal area detected.
Yu Qing: Where?
Ah Li: To your right front.
Yu Qing turned around and walked towards the right front.
The further you walk, the darker it gets.
Yu Qing: Can the portable space be opened?
A-Li: For now, I can only take small things.
Yu Qing: Flight suit, aircraft.
Ali: Okay.
As soon as A Li finished speaking, a circle of white light flashed around Yu Qing.
He had changed into a white flight suit and helmet.
A flying machine appeared beneath his feet and lifted his body up.
Yu Qing quickly flew towards the place with the highest concentration of ghost energy on his flying vehicle.
Ali: Huh? Ghost energy can actually power the aircraft.
Yu Qing: Is there really such a good thing? Then I'll wander around here a bit more.
A-Li: As expected, everything has two sides. The resurrection of ghosts and monsters is not necessarily a bad thing.
Yu Qing: You suddenly seem so cultured.
Ali: I've always been very cultured, okay?
"Ah! Help!" someone screamed in the darkness.
Yu Qing looked over and saw many dark figures in that direction.
More and more shadowy figures appeared, suddenly emerging from the black mist.
They will rush towards anything that is different from them.
A middle-aged man in his fifties ran out of the darkness.
"Help! Help!"
Several ghosts were chasing after him.
Some run on the ground, and some fly in the sky.
Ugly appearance.
Yu Qing wanted to save people, but he had no weapons.
"Ali, my superpower bracelet."
"Transferring, please wait a moment."
"how long?"
"One minute."
Yu Qing watched as the uncle was about to be pounced on by the monster.
He quickly flew over, riding on the aircraft.
I circled around the uncle for a long time.
As the flight altitude rapidly decreased, Yu Qing crouched down and reached out to grab the uncle by the back of his collar.
Take the person away quickly.
"Ah!!!!" The man screamed, his feet leaving the ground, his face turning deathly pale with fright.
Yu Qing led the uncle away from the ghosts quickly.
The ghosts and monsters that appeared around them saw two strange creatures and immediately gave chase with red eyes.
It was as if Yu Qing had drawn the hatred of all the monsters in the area, and all of them rushed towards him.
Yu Qing placed the uncle on the lawn not far away.
"Uncle, run in this direction."
Yu Qing pointed in one direction and said.
The middle-aged man stared blankly at Yu Qing, his eyes filled with panic, but suddenly he became fierce and shoved Yu Qing away.
He frantically climbed onto his aircraft.
"Fly fast, fly fast, take me away from here, hurry!"
Yu Qing was pushed by the uncle and fell off the aircraft. He rolled backward and landed steadily on one knee. Fortunately, the aircraft was only half a meter above the ground.
Suddenly a monster pounced from behind and bit at the back of Yu Qing's helmet.
