Chapter 15: Five Ghosts
For Chen Xian, who used to be a temporary worker in the external editor, living expenses have always been a big problem, because the different cases that can be assigned to him in Ningchuan City are limited, although the remuneration for dealing with those high-level cases is not low, but it is undeniable that those salaries are not a perfect guarantee for him, and he has always been full of anxiety about his future life, after all, it is not a joke that he can eat hundreds of thousands of millions of appetites a month.
What's more, it costs money to get everything in the alien circle, and you have to buy a batch of commonly used equipment and appliances every once in a while, plus firewood, rice, oil and salt at home...... Chen Xian has always been very anxious, anxious like a middle-aged man with a family burden, although he was the only one in his family at that time, he still felt a lot of pressure.
But the reality is quite satisfactory to him, at least there are a lot of cases in his hands every month, and the remuneration can fully maintain the most basic life, not to mention that he can still find him a "part-time" job from time to time, and in general, he has lived quite well in those years.
The part-time jobs he usually takes are from old crooks.
Compared to the dangerous tasks of eliminating anomalous lives in the Secret Bureau, the old liar gave him a much more interesting job, sometimes asking him to look for something in the mountains near Ningchuan City, and sometimes letting him settle some people (or anomalous beings) who came to the grocery store to make trouble.
Hu Xi and Chen Xian's acquaintance also originated from a part-time task assigned to him by an old liar.
It was two years ago during the Midyear Festival.
Because of the so-called "ghost door closed", the yin particle index in China was generally increasing dramatically that day, even in cities full of living people, not to mention this yin market located underground...... In the Midyear Festival, the Yin Market is a huge vortex that constantly gathers Yin Qi particles, and in the eyes of abnormal life, this is undoubtedly a time-sensitive cave blessed land.
Therefore, on the day of the Midyear Festival, Inhumans will deliberately avoid all activities to go to the Yin Market, and abnormal beings will swarm and gather in the Yin Market.
This includes those who are unconscious and do not understand what it means to practice.
Late that night, Ningchuan Yin City ushered in such an uninvited guest.
According to the Zong. The name of the teaching, it should be called "five-life ghost", which is a kind of spirit formed by natural mutation.
"Five living ghosts?"
followed Hu Xi into the nightclub, and along the way, Lu Yisheng and they were all quietly listening to Chen Xian's narration, and when they heard the name of that abnormal life, they also seemed a little unfamiliar, as if they had never heard of it.
"This kind of anomalous life is so rare that it has never appeared in our internal Taoist records, and the only record of the five living ghosts is in the Shamanic Sect's 1982 archived record of the Suva Assembly."
Chen Xian patiently explained, and the memory of that incident slowly became clearer, after all, that monster was indeed difficult to deal with, and among the enemies he had fought against, the Wusheng Ghost was one of the most difficult abnormal lifeforms.
Five ghosts, five ghosts.
As the name suggests, this kind of anomalous life in the spirit state has a total of five bodies, because they were originally formed by the gathering of five infants and ghosts, and it can be seen from ancient books that they are most likely quintuplets who died in the same mother's body, and after turning into spirits, they will use umbilical cords to connect each other.
The single body of the five living ghosts. The body is very easy to deal with, but in these five body points. In the body, every time someone kills one, the remaining body is divided. The body will increase its strength exponentially, and they are like some kind of pumping pumps that extract yin particles, and the yin particles within a radius of tens of miles will be pulled by them and continue to pour into their bodies.
Since the old liar was not in Ningchuan on the day of the Midyear Festival, but went to the capital to do business, there was only one person who could be in Ningchuan Yin Town at that time.
A ghost, to be exact.
Surname. Peaceful.
Chen Xian had never dealt with it, so he didn't know exactly how strong it was, but judging from the information they heard from the old liars...... Surname. Ping'an's strength should be stronger than ordinary high-level anomalous lifeforms, and if it didn't have this strength, it wouldn't usually be pushed out of the town by the old liar.
Of course, this strength doesn't seem to be enough for the five living ghosts.
After destroying the three bodies of the five living ghosts in a row, Song. Peace is divided directly by the remaining two bodies. The body was unilaterally suppressed, and in less than half a minute, its entire body was devoured by two-thirds of the five living ghosts, if it wasn't for Chen Xian rushing to the scene in time to save it, it is estimated that Song. Peace is really cold.
The combat power of the remaining two bodies of the five living ghosts is too terrifying, and it is no exaggeration to say that in the Yin City at that time, no abnormal life could deal with them, and those abnormal life beings in the Yin City saw Song. After the defeat of Ping'an, he ran out early as birds and beasts, and a few of the slow runners had bad luck and got into the stomach of the five living ghosts.
When Chen Xian arrived at the scene, Song. By the time it was safely saved, North Street had turned into an uninhabited battlefield.
"It's hard to deal with." Chen Xian recalled this and couldn't help frowning, "I'll score the fourth. After the body is eaten, the last one left ...... It's the real five-life ghost. ”
"How strong?" Lu Yisheng asked curiously, "How about the demon on Jiuling Mountain?" ”
"Seventy or eighty percent of the demons." Chen Xian shook his head and said, "At that time, my strength was not as good as now, I was pressed and beaten by it from beginning to end, if it wasn't for my special physique, it couldn't attach to my body, maybe I would have died in its hands in the first place......."
That night, the real battle situation was far more cruel than Chen Xian said.
The Five Living Ghosts are the best at possession attacks, but they are also good at melee combat, and the two bodies formed by the convergence of energy are almost invulnerable, and the pile of magic weapons that the old liar sold to Chen Xian is useless.
From the moment he barely killed the fourth body with serious injuries, Chen Xian was completely hung up and beaten, and in the following battle, Chen Xian was killed by the five ghosts seven times, two of which were directly destroyed by the brain tissue, and nearly ninety percent of the brain tissue was eaten by the five living ghosts......
This battle lasted for nearly six hours, Chen Xian kept coming back to life and dying, and the self-healing cells did not rest for a night, until dawn, the five living ghosts seemed to be tired of this kind of never-ending battle, and were ready to leave the land of right and wrong in Yin City......
Just as it relaxed its vigilance and was about to leave the Yin City, Chen Xian, who had eaten its heart, once again tricked the corpse, seized the opportunity of its distraction, and suddenly took a bite on its head.
"I almost didn't get it." Chen Xian's memories ended here, and his face was full of emotion.
Lu Yisheng looked at Chen Xian with admiration, half stinking feet and half admiring from the heart: "Boss, you are really good enough, the last body. Body, it should be regarded as a super-anomalous life, right? ”
"Almost, maybe I touched the edge." Chen Xian said with a smile.
At this time, Xu Yanan suddenly asked, "What does this have to do with her?" ”
From beginning to end, Xu Yanan and Mu He's attention was not all on Chen Xian's memories, and they were always staring at the back of Hu Xi walking in front.
I don't know why, Xu Yanan has a feeling of being a great enemy, like a friend who was finally found was entangled by a bad person, how to look at Hu Xi is not pleasing to the eye.
As for Mu He......
She had secretly started a plan in her heart, and she was thinking about how to get rid of this woman who looked bad behind Chen Xian's back.
"I don't know." Chen Xian shook his head, his face was also full of doubts, "I only saw her once afterwards, and she just thanked me at that time......
Suddenly, Hu Xi, who was walking in front, turned his head, with a charming smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was much more real than before, and he seemed to be extremely grateful to Chen Xian.
"Isn't it the battlefield between you and the five ghosts outside the store?"
Hearing this, Chen Xian thought for a while, nodded and said, "I remember that this store hadn't opened yet, and it seemed to be an unrenovated rough house. ”
"Actually, when you fought with the five living ghosts, I was always in the rough room you said."
Hu Xi said, turned around again, and helped everyone open the door of the nightclub corridor.
"It spotted me in the first place, but before it could kill me, you showed up."
"You've been hiding in the house?" Lu Yisheng looked at her with some suspicion, and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't everyone else run away?" Why don't you run? ”
"All my savings are smashed in this store, if this store is gone...... I don't know what I'm going to do in the future. ”
Hu Ji said without looking back, and there was half an indescribable emotion in her mature and moving voice.
It seems to be a kind of helplessness.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yisheng was stunned.
"Before Brother Chen came, the five ghosts followed Song. Ping An has been fighting outside for a long time, and a row of storefronts across the street has been bulldozed by them......" Hu Xi said helplessly, "I'm afraid that they will push my store, so I don't want to run, I have been hiding in the store and preparing to die with it, it's a big deal to die with this store." ”
"Is it so ruthless......" Lu Yisheng looked at her in astonishment.
"There's nowhere else to go anyway."
Hu Xi shrugged his shoulders and led everyone slowly through the door of the corridor, and the charming and touching smile appeared on her charming face again.
Lu Yisheng was full of curiosity about this nightclub, so as soon as he entered the door, he rushed to the front, like a dirt bun entering the city for the first time, and swept left and right with his eyes wide, and then his face was full of surprise that he couldn't hide.
"Damn?! So many goblins?! ”
