CH 3

One year later, Xun An died. When he was admitted to the Capital’s Tianshi University and became a first-year leader, he had a stable relationship with Lin Wenwen. When he went out to practice with his classmates, he was brutally killed by the fierce ghost Wu Rong.

Xun An clearly remembered how the black evil dog spirit that followed Wu Rong tore him up and swallowed him up, even biting his bones and soul into pieces.

“Not afraid, not afraid. Now Wu Rong is still alive. There is nothing to be afraid of.”

Xun An was ordered out by Liu Hu. He didn’t attend classes or go to the dormitory. He sat down on a random floor and bit his nails nervously. Suddenly he suddenly stood up and said, “No, I can’t stay in Yangjiaping. It’s June 15 now. The Lantern Ghost King will cross the border in three months at most, and Yangjiaping will become a ghost land!”

He ran towards the dormitory for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and grabbed the hair like a mad devil full of dried blood dregs: “No, no, I haven’t got Lin Wenwen yet. I can’t go to the capital Tianshi without her father. The Heavenly Master, I want to be the Heavenly Master, I must be a Heavenly Master!”

A hundred years ago, the world recovered from the supernatural world. Ghosts came to haunt the world. Ghosts were not afraid of physical attacks, guns and ammunition. Human beings were in decline. Most of the world was occupied by ghosts when it was most critical. Fortunately, the world had changed, leaving a glimmer of life for mankind. The birth of ghosts and the revival of Taoism enable talented people to enter Tianshi universities all over the country and learn the method of expelling ghosts. Those with poor talent could also pay the price to raise ghosts and use them against ghosts.

The former was called Heavenly Master, and the latter was called Ghost Keeper. There were also people with similar abilities in other countries in the world. After many years, people and ghosts have finally reached a relative balance. However, most people in the world were ordinary people. They have neither the talent to become a heavenly teacher nor the hard life to support ghosts. They can only live in a divided safety zone, like frogs in a well, and can’t see the outside world.

The resentful ghost Wu Rong was such an ordinary person before he died.

“Wu Rong, Wu Rong, yes, now he is an ordinary person. I can start early, and I can kill him first – no, no.”

After intermittently having a merciless heart, Xun An was full of fear again: “No… no, Wu Rong can’t die, he must not die.”

Xun An vaguely remembered that he had a good relationship with Wu Rong in his last life. So three months later, when the Ghost King crossed the border, the ghost keepers fought with the Heavenly Master. When ordinary people fled in a panic, Wu Rong would protect him all the way, killing a blood path, and even gave him the amulet.

When trapped in a ghost domain, someone had to be sacrifice to escape, Xun An did not want to push Wu Rong out. Xun An was also afraid and sad when he was torn up and swallowed up by a fierce ghost. But everyone died, and soon he left Wu Rong behind. Later, on the way to escape, Xun An ran into Lin Wenwen, who was separated from her family, and survived with the amulet Wu Rong left him.

After being rescued, Lin Wenwen became his girlfriend and personally begged her father, who taught at the Capital’s University, so that Xun An, who had a mediocre talent, could be admitted as a first-year leader. At that time, Xun An was full of ambition, this was his starting point to soar, but Xun An never expected that a year later, when he led the team to go out for practice, he was caught by Wu Rong who had turned into a resentful ghost.

Ghosts also had levels. Evil ghosts could destroy cities, let alone higher level ghosts.

Xun An had only seen one resentful ghost in his life. At one glance, he had no resistance.

However, Wu Rong could become a resentful ghost in a year. He has learned from the past, and Xun An didn’t dare to gamble.

“What to do, what to do…”

“By the way, there must be someone who can kill Wu Rong! That person should be here now. Yes, he is here. He is. I will go to him. I must go to him!”

Only he can change his destiny!

——

“Please take your time.”

The two special policemen who claimed to be from the Seventh Division of Public Security had a lot of problems, and they ended the investigation the next day. In addition to the hungry ghosts, Wu Rong told them about the ghost phone in detail, and took them to the alley in the middle of the night to see them take away the rotten mobile phones and the ashes like black coals.

His harvest was a special mobile phone with Zhou Xun’s telephone number.

“Comrade, according to your description, you were likely to be watched by some kind of ghost above level D.”

Zhou Xun said seriously, “This phone was specially made by seven departments. Once it calls you again, we will receive the message and arrive at the first time. If there is anything unusual, you can call me immediately. It can be used normally even in the ghost land.”

“Hmm.”

What was the ghost land and what was the seventh branch, Wu Rong has roughly understood after one night’s talk. This world was really dangerous. Even in the safety zone, ordinary people would lose their lives if they weren’t careful.

Wu Rong understood why ‘he’ persisted in becoming a ghost keeper after confirming that he had no talent of a heavenly master. In this world, only people with strength could live freely and happily, and his mother was also an ordinary person. In this world full of ghosts, in case of any accident, ordinary people were like fish on the chopping board, with no resistance.

Seeing that Wu Rong was still so calm and cold after experiencing life and death, Zhou Xun was more appreciative. This man had a firm will and was a good candidate to be a ghost keeper. Unfortunately.

“Boy.”

A coarse and hoarse voice sounded, which was terrible, like the old crow hissing. Wu Rong bowed his head and saw that the old man who had not said a word from beginning to end finally spoke. He still stared at him with uncomfortable eyes, every word and sentence with profound meaning: “Boy, I think you should live a long life.”

“Don’t die for me, you know.”

“Remember, give me a good life, don’t go to risk your life.”

Two special policemen in black windbreaker left, one behind the other, until they looked back, they could not see the shadow of Laoliang Shouyi. Zhou Xun wondered: “Old Ma, when did you learn to look at your face? We are partners, so you can show me.”

The old man was silent and did not speak. Suddenly, he gave a stuffy snort, and his bent body trembled, curling up in pain. Then two more eyes suddenly appeared on his sparse, withered and yellow eyebrows. The eyes were as white as ink, and the pupils were red. At the same time, Ma Laolaxi’s skin swelled, wrinkles were stretched out, and gradually showed a baby’s horrible face under his left face.

“Crap, how did the ghost baby suddenly revolted!”

Zhou Xun was shocked and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. When Zhou Xun took off his mask, he saw that the corners of his mouth were cracking upward, just like the women in the horror legend. Then Zhou Xun opened his mouth. He had no teeth, his dark throat was deep, and there was a white and festering scar on his throat. He squirmed slightly at the same time with a strong stench, as if he wanted to live.

When the ghost wound appeared, the ghost baby on Ma’s face was about to break its skin and finally stopped expanding like fear. When the two were in a stalemate, Zhou Xun hurriedly took out a piece of yellow seal script from his leather bag and stuck it to Ma Lao’s face. He took out his mobile phone and sang. The clear and solemn singing voice came from the mobile phone. Under the dual influence of the seal script and Taoist music, the ghost baby on Ma Lao’s face finally disappeared, and finally returned to normal.

Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief. He sprayed himself with a breath of breath freshener and then put on his mask again. He said with lingering fear, “Why did the ghost baby suddenly bite back? I remember that the last time you had a safe period of two and a half years left when you had a physical examination.”

Old Ma stifled cough, after this backlash his face had more wrinkles, eyebrows thinning and patchy, looking a few years older. Raising ghosts, was to use their own life span to feed ghosts, as a price to obtain the power of ghosts. Every backlash, the life expectancy of the ghost keeper would be shortened by a section.

“It’s resonance.”

“Resonance?”

“Hmm.”

Old Ma nodded heavily: “The low-level ghost will spontaneously respond to a higher level ghost, and will do everything to return to its side. I have only met this situation twice in most of my life, and both were extremely dangerous.”

“Ghost babies are Level C evil spirits, that is to say, those who can resonate with them must be at least Level B Resentful Ghost.”

“Hah? A resentful ghost?”

Zhou Xun was shocked and said, “But if there were a resentful ghost in Yangjiaping, the sensors in that bureau would have screamed. Besides, if the ghost really resonated, how could my ghost sores not react?”

Old Ma kept silent for a long time and suddenly asked, “Do you know the boy I saw today?”

“Yes, of course, he is a famous person in Yangjiaping. You just transferred here, Mr. Ma, but we all know Wu Rong.”

Zhou Xun expressed regret: “Wu Rong is also a strange person. Other people were either yin or yang heavy. He was good. He has no yin on his body. He can’t be pure anymore. At the age of 12, the Heavenly Master tested that he could not even pass his first test, so he turned to be a ghost raiser. Although we have no threshold for ghost raisers, at least we should focus on yin and let the ghost master live more comfortably. Even if this kind stood here, even a ghost rat would ignore him, still, he wanted to raise ghosts.”

“Alas, although the hands are good, can fight, but with no talent, can’t raise ghosts, his life can only be of an ordinary person.”

“Ordinary people.”

Old Ma smiled briefly, the centipede like ferocious scar twitched on his cheek, and said to himself, “It’s the first time I’ve seen such an ordinary person.”

“Go back and report to the superior that the area in Yangjiaping is classified as Grade III (danger level). Say it was me.”

“Xiao Zhou, you should always pay attention to answering his phone calls. Remember, we must protect his safety. His reports should be handled first, understand?”

“I know. It’s our duty to protect ordinary people. But it’s the first time I’ve heard you emphasize this so much. Does this Wu boy really have some special ability? Old Ma, old Ma, why don’t you pay attention to me? Old Ma?”

——

“The egg noodles are ready, so hurry to eat something.”

The egg noodles lying on the table with Huang Chengcheng poached eggs and some green vegetables were heavily placed on the table. The aroma was so strong that Mother Wu complained while unscrewing her apron: “Those two special police brothers were really true, and the prisoners haven’t been tried all night. It’s really killing.”

“Mom.”

Wu Rong didn’t move his chopsticks. He unconsciously fiddled with the mobile phone given by Zhou Xun. This day, Wu Rong was no less shocked than rebirth. He was slow in emotion, but not stupid. After thinking about it, Wu Rong finally raised his head and looked serious: “I have something to tell you.”

“Oh, I didn’t expect that one day we would think of the same thing together.”

Mother Wu raised her eyebrows and said, “Since you are not hungry, listen to me first.”

“Next week, your grandmother will be 90 years old, and she wants to pass on all the old styles to you. I thought that you don’t have the talent to be a heavenly master anyway, and it’s too bad to raise ghosts. You might as well go back to Miao Village to try your luck.”
