Chapter 12: A Special Call (II)
On the roof of the Epoch Building, the purple flame was still burning, and the flame came from a small white round sign, about the size of a casino chip, held in the palm of an almost transparent hand.
The iron door of the stairwell was pushed open, Gu Qi came out, and threw aside the twisted lock in his hand, he had already put on his hood, his expression was still calm, but his brows were furrowed tightly.
"Why?" He asked the spirits not far away, "The Burning Ghost Face has all kinds of harm and no benefit, and you yourself are the most painful, why do you do this?" ”
Ghost faces, known as "ghosts" in ancient times, are the knots of the soul, the carrier of memory, and the dependence of the soul to remain in the world.
The prayer master has the obligation to help the soul untie the knot, but it is not without benefits, after the soul's wish is satisfied, it will disappear into this world, the only thing left is the ghost face, the ghost face can enhance the ability, the more ghost face is absorbed, the stronger the ability of the prayer master.
For Gu Qi, the ghost face can increase the hardness of the chain, the number of chain links—that is, the length of the chain, and the storage time of the chain after it leaves the body—which determines the storage time of the chain body after the white chain builds the body for the soul.
The special thing is that the white chain must wrap the ghost face before he can build the body, that is to say, after building the body, he will not be able to get the ghost face, so under normal circumstances, Gu Qi does not use the white chain.
Thousands of years ago, the prayer master found a way to store the ghost face, and since then, the ghost face is equivalent to their special currency, but the ghost face can only remain intact if the soul disappears naturally, and cannot be snatched directly, and even if it can be grabbed, it is incomplete and completely useless, which also means that only the spirit itself can ignite the ghost face.
Once the ghost face starts to burn, it can't be stopped, and in the burning process, the soul without ** will feel great pain, it is said that the pain is dozens of times stronger than when a person is burned by the fire, and igniting the ghost face is definitely an act of self-harm.
If it was just self-harm, Gu Qi would not rush to this side, the burning ghost face would release a strong signal, just like the blood droplets in the sea, it would attract countless sharks, here, sharks refer to resentful spirits, evil spirits and fierce spirits, devouring souls, referring to the absorption of masks.
A large number of evil spirits and evil spirits will gather together to cause terrible things, at least disturbing the peace of the area, or a large number of bizarre deaths, and once the evil spirits who like to stay in the shadows are summoned, it is a great event, the power of the evil spirits is weird, powerful, and some even need to use the power of the state to eliminate.
It was a very small old lady who lit the ghost face, Gu Qi took twenty minutes to reach the top of the building, she had already burned to a translucent state, and it would be completely gone in about another ten minutes.
Seeing Gu Qi, her face distorted by the severe pain forced a smile, and she faltered, but she walked in front of Gu Qi at a very fast speed, whether it was a deformed facial expression or a body movement that was almost twitching, it was very terrifying, and even after stopping, her head was still tilting around quickly.
"For ...... You're coming...... Help ......" her voice was shaking, and it was hard to hear what she was saying.
"Save whom? I didn't hear you. Gu Qi bent down and put his ear in front of the old lady.
The old lady stood on tiptoe and said slowly, "Save ...... My daughter...... My granddaughter, 1305 ......"
She couldn't grasp the distance, and her mouth and face touched Gu Qi's ears several times, and Gu Qi involuntarily covered her chest.
When humans come into contact with spirits, they often feel discomfort, such as sudden sneezing, coughing, runny nose, foggy eyes, muscle spasms, bounces, cramps, joint stiffness, nausea and vomiting, skin allergies, dizziness, headaches, blood pressure fluctuations, etc.
These symptoms vary from person to person, but palpitations are bound to appear, so even if you can't see the soul, the human body will still instinctively avoid contact with the soul, and phenomena such as ghosts hitting the wall are driven by this instinct, especially when the eyes are closed, they tend to circle in small circles, even if there is a difference in the length of the legs and the stride distance of the left and right feet, it will not go around the circle with a diameter of only a few meters.
Gu Qi's chest was very uncomfortable, although he was no stranger to this feeling, but his heart palpitations were unable to adapt, he had already felt that other spirits appeared nearby, and the old lady couldn't speak, so she had to guess: "You lit the ghost face just to attract the prayer master and save your daughter and your granddaughter?" Sue me where are they, is 1305 the room number? ”
The old lady nodded vigorously, pointed to her feet, and signaled that Room 1305 was in the Epoch Building.
"I see, what other words do you have?" Gu Qi released the chain from his palm and aimed it at the ghost face.
"Save ...... Save ......" the old lady kept repeating the word, she could not shed tears, but her eyes were full of sadness.
This made Gu Qi feel strange, he had already arrived, why did she still feel sad? Although the praying master is not omnipotent, he can solve many thorny problems without asking the means, and he is sad before the rescue starts, because he expects him to fail?
"I'll do my best and go all the way." The chain shattered the ghost face, Gu Qi turned around and walked towards the stairwell, since she couldn't ask clearly, it was better to end her pain early.
The old lady slowly floated into the air, her body getting lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared completely.
…………
The Epoch Building has a total of twenty-five floors, the first to fourth floors are large shopping malls, the fifth to twelfth floors are standard guest rooms, and the thirteenth floor and above are business suites, Gu Qi walked down the stairs to the thirteenth floor, passed by a small cart full of small bottles of shampoo, soap and toothbrushes, and came to the door of room 1305.
The electronic lock has no keyhole, and the chain can't reach in to unlock it, standing at the door and listening to the movement inside for a while, he vaguely heard the sound of talking, and Gu Qi knocked on the door.
The cat's eyes darkened for a while, then lit up again, the door was opened a crack, and the anti-theft chain was bolted, and half of his emaciated face was exposed in the crack of the door, looking Gu Qi up and down, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Room service." Gu Qi took out a lighter and lit the cigarette he had just held.
"Damn, I'm sick, I don't even bother to push the service car when I pretend to be room service, what about a liar?" The man said he was about to close the door.
But once the door is opened, it is not easy to close it, and no matter how much you push it, it will not move at all, as if it is pushing against the wall.
"I originally wanted to push the cart, but I didn't want to change my clothes, and I would be recognized anyway, so it was better to travel light." As soon as Gu Qi's words fell, the anti-leeching chain "horn" bounced off, almost hitting the man in the face.
The door was slammed open, and the person behind the door was pushed backwards and rolled backwards and lay on the ground, his face changed drastically, and he actually took out a pistol from behind his waist.
Gu Qigang walked in the door, stopped when he saw this, and closed the door.
He is not worried about his own safety, but once a firearm appears, the difficulty of saving or killing people will increase a lot, the loud noise when shooting alone will bring a series of troubles, followed by the speed and lethality of the bullet, the chain can make the bullet lose its lethality, at most sacrifice one or two chain links, the problem is that there is no time to block.
The jet-black muzzle was aimed at Gu Qi, and the gunman stood up on the ground and looked at Gu Qi proudly.
"Who?" Someone in the room heard the movement and asked impatiently.
The man with the gun tilted the muzzle of the gun and motioned for Gu Qi to enter, he didn't notice that the pistol was a little heavier than usual.
There are a total of eight people in the living room of the business suite, seven of them are standing, although they are not wearing uniform black suits like in the TV series, but everyone has a bulging waist and carries weapons, and there is a fat man with a shiny face sitting on the big sofa in the innermost, and a dark red suitcase is placed next to it, I don't know what it contains.
Gu Qi walked in first, everyone turned their heads to look at him, and when they saw that it was a stranger, they all felt strange, but after the gun pointing at Gu Qi also entered the door, they all took out their respective guns in a panic and held them in their hands nervously.
The fat man on the sofa was very dissatisfied with this scene, how could he casually show the gun to others, isn't this asking for trouble? Finally got a group of guys, and they are about to show their skills, looking at the psychological elements of these subordinates, it seems that they are still a little anxious, if Lao Bai and Wu Fei are here, the scene should be much better.
"What do you do?" He leaned back on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and rested his right hand on the red leather suitcase, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he cared about the contents of the box.
"I'm here to save people." Gu Qi walked among the group of people and released several chains in his right hand.
Ordinary people do not see the power of the prayer teacher unless it comes into direct contact with their body after it is manifested.
"Saving people?" The fat man looked at the group of subordinates and laughed: "Who are you going to save?" ”
"I'm going to save a mother and daughter, it should be here, can you tell me where they went?" Gu Qi asked very casually.
The fat man's face changed, and he asked, "You were sent by Brother Dao?" ”
"I don't know Brother Dao." Gu Qi said lightly: "It seems that you know where they are, please tell me, I have no intention of killing you." ”
The fat man was furious, slapped the suitcase heavily, and scolded: "! You think this is a toy gun! Fourth-rated, kill him for me! ”
The fourth liuzi is the person who went to open the door just now, he is still standing behind Gu Qi at this time, he has always been running errands, and he does all the dirty work, if he heard the boss shouting like this in normal times, he would definitely hit Gu Qi on the back of the head with the gun, but today, he just stood in place and did not move.
"Fourth-rate son, do you hear that? What are you in a daze? The fat man shouted again.
"He wasn't in a daze, he just didn't dare to move." Gu Qi took a step to the side, revealing the fourth-rate son behind him.
The fourth-rate man was still holding a gun, the muzzle of the gun was on his temple, he was sweating profusely, his legs were shaking, and his snot was flowing into the corners of his mouth.
Everyone froze, not knowing what the fourth-rate man was trying to express, they couldn't see the chain wrapped around the pistol, and they didn't know that the gun in their hands was also entangled.
"I don't have much time, from now on kill someone every thirty seconds, you all have a chance to answer, the first to speak, can live." Gu Qi gave an ultimatum, and his voice was much softer than just now.
