Chapter XXVIII
At 10:30 that night, Mao Ye and Wang Xu came to the door of a nearby hospital, and the names on the list of the Grim Reaper were still not crossed out, and the people who were being followed by Elbert had not encountered any crisis at this time.
"Hey...... What's your plot? It won't be for me to accompany you to see the willow disease, right? Wang Xu held a lollipop in his mouth, and he was still happy to complain.
The cat master once again ignored Wang Xu's nonsense like a shield: "I need blood, preferably from the same person, and in large quantities." ”
Wang Xu took a few steps back: "What do you want to do......"
"Don't play tricks...... Of course I'm not asking for your blood, I'm just going to go to the blood bank in the hospital once. ”
"So what should I do? Giving you a blow while you threaten the nurse with a knife? ”
"You don't have to worry about how I get blood, you take this backpack and go to the morgue to set up a ritual, the materials are all in it, and I wrote down the method of placing it on a piece of paper. Once it's all done, I'll be able to wait for the blood to come. ”
Wang Xu took the backpack brought by the cat master, he wanted to ask some more questions, but the cat master left in a hurry after explaining the matter. He had no choice but to find the morgue himself.
In the hospital, people must not be able to go wherever they want, but in the morgue, there are often only one or two administrators on duty, so Wang Xu used a very simple method to knock the old man unconscious with one elbow, so as not to hinder him from doing things for himself.
Wang Xu walked into the morgue, this place is indeed heavier, it always makes people feel more chilly than outside, he walked to the corner of the room, opened the backpack that the cat master gave him, there are really a lot of things, fennel, white candles, chalk, some plants that Wang Xu does not know, and some animal corpses that no one can recognize......
In addition to the placement and layout of these things, the paper left by the cat master also stated that he wanted to draw a strange array on the ground, Wang Xu placed these miscellaneous things one by one, and a not very good premonition rose in his heart, thinking that the cat master is now taking people's blood, it seems that what he is putting in his hand is the legendary "magic trick" is undoubted.
A hand was placed on Wang Xu's shoulder, and almost instantly, Wang Xu knew that the owner of this hand was not the cat master, because there was no trace of temperature on this hand at all.
Wang Xu turned his head, and a big festering face came into view, and the hand on his shoulder was still dripping with pus.
"Fired like this...... Which grave circle explosion blew you out......"
The ghost opened its mouth wide, and some pus spurted out of its throat: "I'm so miserable~~"
"Damn!" Wang Xu slapped the ghost in the face and pushed it away: "Are you mistaken? Did you know that my clothes were washed yesterday? You are saliva and pus, and you still run over to hook your shoulders and back, is it disgusting to you? ”
"I'm so miserable...... I'm in so much pain...... Help me......" The ghost said just a few words, and still leaned towards Wang Xu's side.
"This is the most low-level earth bound spirit, it suffered too much before it died, and it can't die, so don't complain to it, this kind of ghost is the most miserable, in fact, it is almost unconscious now." At this time, the cat master pushed the door and walked in.
He glanced at Wang Xu's ceremony, then squatted down and picked up the chalk to complete Wang Xu's unfinished diagram.
Wang Xu asked, "Hey...... So what about this guy? ”
"You'll be done."
The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched a few times, thinking to himself why are I asking you if I can do it? In fact, until now, he has never seriously recited the scriptures to surpass a ghost, and basically either people have ascended by themselves, or they have been killed by him. Looking at the person in front of you, it is really a standard person who is not like a person, a ghost is not like a ghost, everyone is so miserable, it doesn't seem very kind for you to kill him again.
But Wang Xu soon thought of a way, he tried to urge the power of the master to appease the soul of the person in front of him, and gradually, the wound on its body disappeared, the skin returned to its face, and it stopped wailing, but stood there calmly, no longer making a sound.
Master Mao stopped what he was doing, glanced back at this side, and then said to himself: "It seems that you can still do it if you want to......"
Wang Xu took a long breath, he never expected that the act just now had almost exhausted all of his spiritual power, and at this moment he even felt a little dizzy and about to fall to the ground.
"Thank you to this master for helping me out of the sea of suffering...... Xiao Sheng was grateful...... "That ghost speaks in crepe, and his clothes are not like those worn by people today, it seems that the history of his stay here is much older than this hospital."
"Got it...... Hurry up and reincarnate and leave, let me rest for a while, don't bother me. ”
"Then take care of the master, Xiaosheng is gone." The ghost shook to the ground, but it looked very polite, and then gradually disappeared.
Wang Xu said: "Eh, you say, where did someone like him go?" Is it to the so-called 'hell' report? Or do you go straight upstairs to the obstetrics and gynecology department? ”
The cat master didn't look back, still bowed his head and drew on the ground, he didn't answer this question, because he couldn't say "either go to hell or go directly to the Styx", so he simply didn't explain, but changed the topic and said: "I dare to be interested in it, you can actually use the power of domination to repair those weak souls." ”
Wang Xu was ashamed to say: "That's, who am I?" We usually hide our strength, and this is when we encounter things. ”
"You're panting so much, do you want to go downstairs and get some oxygen or something......"
"Hmm...... I'm just speeding up my breathing to boost my metabolism......"
The cat squatted there and smiled, at this moment, his mobile phone rang, he stopped what he was doing, glanced at the number, and then picked up: "Qi Bing, is it?" Could it be that Gao Jian was hunted down again? ”
"Yes, there have been a few more accidents since you left, and I stopped them, but in the last hour, the pursuit of the Grim Reaper has become more and more frequent and more difficult to deal with...... So I want to tell you something. ”
The cat master paused for a few seconds and asked, "At this current intensity, how long do you estimate how long you can block it?" ”
Qi Bing was silent for a long time: "Hmph...... Of course I ...... I can keep it in the way. ”
The cat master replied: "Very good, promising, continue to wait for my news." ”
With that, he stopped the call, added the last few strokes to the formation on the ground with chalk, then stood up, stepped back three steps, and recited a strange incantation that Wang Xu did not understand.
After he finished reading, the morgue was quiet, as if nothing had happened, Wang Xu looked around: "Did you fail to play?" ”
"Obviously, he didn't fail." A man's voice suddenly came from behind Wang Xu.
Wang Xu turned around, this person he had met in Las Vegas, it should be called Vincent.
"I didn't expect you to come in person...... "Master Cat, this can be regarded as a greeting."
Vincent still hasn't changed, his appearance, his smile, his eyes that seem to be in control of everything: "I suggest you don't do the same ritual again in the future, it's dangerous, fortunately, I happen to be free, if you come in someone else, not only will you not necessarily achieve your goal, maybe you will take your life." ”
Master Mao said: "This incident is beyond my control, so I urgently need an informed high-level demon to answer some of my questions." ”
Vincent knew what he was going to ask, and he didn't say much nonsense: "The one you have in your hands is indeed the list of the Grim Reaper, but its owner has recently been removed. ”
Wang Xu's eyes widened: "Won't it?" The Grim Reaper has been killed? Could it be that Sun Monkey has gone abroad to burn the book of life and death? ”
Vincent glanced back at Wang Xu, who immediately fainted obediently, and he continued: "I can tell you these things, he can't listen." ”
The cat master laughed dryly: "Anyway, I'm already a substitute for your hell, it doesn't matter if I know more, right......?"
Vincent nodded: "That's pretty much what it means...... Here's the thing, there is only one real god of death, he is in hell, he is the boss of all the gods, like Satan and the Four Horsemen, if it weren't for the biblical apocalypse, he wouldn't and couldn't come to the world.
And there are a lot of deaths that usually move in the world, generally in a big city with a population of tens of millions like S City, there should be more than a dozen or even dozens of them, they are like office workers, holding the list, running around every day, ensuring that those people on the list will die on time and in order.
Ordinary people, psychics, superpowers, and ghosts cannot see the Grim Reaper, and only those who are truly in the 'dying' can see the existence of the Grim Reaper in a very short time, that is, the soul that is destined to leave this world. ’
So in the human world, the title of 'Grim Reaper' can be regarded as a profession, and it is still a thankless profession, of course, this profession is not tenured, and they sometimes encounter personnel transfers from us, and at this time, there will be vacancies.
The list of the Grim Reaper is a gift from God and will never disappear, and someone must hold it, so when the original Grim Reaper leaves, we must send another person to replace him. ”
The cat master interjected: "I understand...... You have encountered an unexpected personnel change, because this Grim Reaper was not transferred by you, but was destroyed by someone else! ”
"Yes, but the Grim Reaper's List is not just a notebook, its existence itself is much more advanced than the Grim Reaper, like the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings, even if you throw it into the river, it can find its own way, because there is a power that haunts it and makes it immortal......"
The cat master asked, "So it's now looking for its own master like the Supreme Ring?" But what is the law? ”
Vincent replied: "I don't know very well, the last time the Grim Reaper was killed by human forces was hundreds of years ago, there are very few relevant records, and I didn't handle it, but according to my estimates, if it is really looking for its master, the candidate should be that high sword." ”
Master Mao said thoughtfully: "Even if there is no Grim Reaper holding it, the people on the list are still dying, which means that it is operating on its own without an owner...... And after we got it, it was disrupted, and I saved almost a hundred people, which seriously interfered with it...... So......"
Vincent smiled and continued, "So...... It couldn't wait to put the next name on the list as a candidate and began the test...... Hehe, you're really good. ”
They looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them came up with this inference almost at the same time, and Vincent continued: "Then, it is likely that the criterion is that if Gao Jian can hold on until midnight under the increasingly frantic pursuit, he is qualified to hold this list, and the others on that list today have also been rescued by the birth of Gao Jian, a new god of death. As for Gao Jian, his mission from now on has become to ensure that more people die on time...... Oh, interesting causality. ”
Master Mao took a long breath: "It seems that this high sword is destined to say goodbye to us." ”
Vincent smiled: "Don't worry, I will take care of him in the future." As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the king on the ground snapped and gradually regained consciousness.
Mao Ye Zhengse said: "Before you leave, I have one last question. ”
Smart people spoke very easily, Vincent already knew the problem of the cat master, and he smiled as if he came: "Yu Xin once joined an organization composed of marginal people, and Ruan Da is also one of the members of that organization, and the leader of that organization may be the strongest descendant of the Guigu faction so far, even more powerful than Wu Guangzong. ”
Although the cat master was calm on the surface, he was very shocked in his heart, Uncle Wu's strength was on par with Yu An, the strongest Song Emperor among the Ten Palaces of Yama, and there was no one who could be found among the younger generations, if he had to find a few who were a little stronger than him, I am afraid that there would only be the commanders of the various forces in the Yin and Yang Realm......
"So...... Who is stronger than the phoenix immortal? ”
Vincent's figure gradually disappeared, and he finally just smiled and left: "This kind of thing, before they fight, who can know......"
