Chapter 340: A Strange City

The night sky is like ink, the dark clouds are rolling, and occasionally there is a moment of starlight revealed, bringing a ray of light to the land, but even this invisible light is often only fleeting, and only darkness is the absolute protagonist of this night.

The night is dark, and the city is even darker.

There is no light in the whole Ninghai City, and at a glance, it seems to be a lifeless dead city, and there is not even a single stray dog or cat on the silent street, let alone a human being.

In the howling night wind, only the shops were hunting under the guise of outside, but the sound of tearing only added a sense of fear to the dead silence.

The city was a little dark, and it was a little unusually quiet.

And in a room in the northwest corner of the city, an oil lamp was standing quietly on the table in the center of the room, and a flame the size of a bean emitted a faint warm yellow light, although faint but firmly dispelled the darkness in the room, and held up a little light and warmth in this endless dark night.

However, this light could not be seen from the outside of the room, because all the places that could transmit light were tightly obscured.

At the square table, two figures sat quietly, listening to the howling wind outside the room and the terrifying hiss of its wanton stirring of things.

In contrast, the light and tranquility in this room seem so rare that people unconsciously feel at ease and warm.

"Since the demon beast slaughtered the city, all kinds of strange things have continued to appear in this Ninghai City." Situ Qingying, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Not being able to light the lamp between twelve o'clock in the night and six o'clock in the morning is one of them. I can't tell exactly when it started, but one day there was such a rumor in the city, and then a family didn't believe the rumor, but during this time they lit an oil lamp, and the next morning people found that their family had disappeared without warning, and there was nothing unusual in the house, that is, the person suddenly disappeared. They were lucky enough to escape the slaughter of the city by the demon beasts, but they ended up breaking on an oil lamp. ”

"Later, there were several cases of people going missing because the lights were lit after 12 o'clock at night, so all the surviving people in the city believed this rumor, and no one dared to light the lamps at 12 o'clock at night. Even if you have to light the lamp, you have to cover the whole room tightly in advance, so as not to let any light shine through, which will lead to the existence of some unknown horror existence in the darkness, which may be particularly sensitive to light. ”

Situ Qingying calmly said another secret of this Ninghai City, she was like a huge database, storing all kinds of information related to the secret realm of Liaozhai, no matter what she talked about, she could tell some content.

It can also be seen from this that she is well prepared.

"It's a miracle." Ye Han became a little interested in this when she heard this, there must be some secret hidden behind the disappearance of the person caused by this lamp, she wanted to open the window and let the light out, and see what strange things could be attracted, but it was better to think about it.

If she is alone, it naturally doesn't matter, she can do whatever she wants, it doesn't matter if she turns the world upside down, but her trip is for Situ Qingying's latent plan, which is related to the overall situation, so it is still based on stability.

She and Situ Qingying gathered here tonight, mainly to discuss the itinerary for the next period of time, most of which Situ Qingying was talking, and she was listening. She was noncommittal about the plan formulated by Situ Qingying and the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, anyway, just follow her all the way, how to protect her at that time, in what form to protect her, under what circumstances, and under what circumstances not to make a move is also up to her own judgment.

The two discussed this until late at night, and then Situ Qingying looked at the oil lamp in the house and told her about this strange thing in Ninghai City.

"Okay, let's settle things like this first, you rest early, I'll go back to my room." After the matter was discussed, Ye Han was also ready to leave, the place where she lived was next door to Situ Qingying, and she opened a door and arrived. 7 Q

"Well, good night senior." Situ Qingying responded politely.

Although Ye Han conjured up the image of an ordinary girl "Night" at this time, in Situ Qingying's heart, this image was changed by the sword demon in order to hide his identity, and he was still male in nature.

Naturally, this lonely man and widow must not be able to stay in the same room at night.

Ye Han nodded at her, then got up and walked to the door, slowly opened it, and the moment she opened the door, the oil lamp in the room suddenly went out, and the whole room fell into complete darkness all of a sudden.

In the house, Situ Qingying lay on the wooden bed with her clothes together, but although she was lying down, her eyes were still open, and the light that flashed from time to time indicated that she was not at peace in her heart, obviously she was thinking about something.

Outside the house, after Ye Han closed the door, he didn't go back to his room directly, but stood at the door for a while, and then his figure disappeared in a flash.

When her figure reappeared, she had already appeared on the top of the city tower on the east side of the city wall, which can be said to be one of the highest places in the entire Ninghai City.

At this time, Ninghai City was pitch black with the naked eye, and the black shadows formed by the low-rise huts were mottled together, forming a large patch of uneven black shadows, only the small river that passed through it shone with a very faint light.

But in Ye Han's Heavenly Heart Consciousness, this Ninghai City was not like this.

Looking at the empty streets and alleys, they are actually crowded with "people"! Some of them are crawling on the ground with broken arms and legs, some are walking with their torn abdomen open, holding their hearts, livers and lungs, and some are groping forward without their heads or even half of their bodies.

Looking at the tooth marks and claw marks on their wounds, it is obvious that they are the dead in the demon beast slaughter city a few months ago, but I don't know what's going on, they all seem to have turned into this ghost-like existence, and appeared in this city in the middle of the night.

The so-called incident of not being able to light the lights after 12 o'clock in the evening is probably related to them.

Looking at these ghosts and ghosts all over the city, Ye Han couldn't help frowning, although the exercises she cultivated were not specifically for restraining ghosts, and she didn't have a deep understanding of ghosts, but this did not prevent her from seeing that the situation was wrong.

This nocturnal situation of a hundred ghosts has obviously appeared for a while, and the situation is getting more and more serious, now these ghosts are acting according to instinct, and will not take the initiative to attack humans, but if this continues, these ghosts will not be able to maintain their consciousness one day, and I am afraid that no one in the whole city will survive at that time.

Just as she frowned and thought, a little light suddenly appeared outside the city!

The light was first a small ball, then a large one, like a huge torch burning in this boundless darkness, and there was a faint power fluctuation in this firelight, exuding a certain attraction.

At the same time, the ghosts all over the city began to stir, and then they all rushed madly towards the firelight!
