Chapter Twenty-Seven: Danger Is Imminent
Pengcheng is a glittering city, people come and go, always forget their love and hate, conform to the eyes of others to live, a fresh and lovely people, like walking corpses, stereotyped and repeated wearing masks they should not wear, venting their excess emotions in entertainment venues, and pretending that they seem to live a wonderful life.
Ghosts also have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and although they are in the cold all the time, they may live more freely and freely than humans.
Chen Yating, who was walking on the edge of the road, had forgotten how long she had been walking, and the city of cars was so noisy in the middle of the night, but there was less vitality and more loneliness, just like the mood of the city suddenly deteriorated, and she didn't pay much attention to people.
She wanted to cry, but she lost her facial features, and there was no place for her to cry; She also wanted to hold back, but the negative energy in her heart hit wave after wave, and for ghosts, physical trauma was far less than emotional damage.
The mood of the ghost is visible, black is angry, purple is melancholy
There was a trace of purple light mist floating on Chen Yating's body now, and when she took a step, the purple light mist slowly moved with her.
The vehicle roared by, unable to alarm the purple light mist, nor could it alarm Chen Yating's absent-mindedness.
A gloomy and poignant singing voice swirled around and floated into Chen Yating's mind, although she had lost her soul, her body involuntarily walked in the direction where the song came from
On the edge of the main hall of the underworld, there is a high-rise building of modernist buildings, which stands abruptly among a bunch of ancient buildings, and in this high-rise building, a group of civil servants in the underworld in suits and leather shoes are still working overtime all night, which is a very normal and trivial thing for them, because they don't know what to do except for reviewing official documents.
In an office on the fifth floor, a handsome uncle in his thirties knocked over everything inside, and he seemed very angry, and he yelled at the row of inspectors in front of him: "How many times have I told you! Discipline! Unite! Although you are all newcomers, I have already said that this month's holiday is for you to run in tacit understanding! It's not for you to go on a tour! You guys go their separate ways, okay! Amazing! As soon as everyone went out, within two days, all of you had made meritorious contributions! ”
"We can't help it," said a crutche-clad inspector timidly.
"I said it! I speak, don't interject!! Zhong Kui kicked him over, and continued to roar: "Don't think that being a ghost fairy is very powerful, there are many more powerful people than you!" How many people are staring at you, staring at the creation pool, you are not proficient in your own ability, and you go out rashly, do you want to dedicate yourself to others, so that others can have your ability!! ”
The Difu Creation Pool, built in the early Tang Dynasty, claims to be the greatest function of reshaping the body, although it does have this function, but the biggest function is to sacrifice the body or ugly a part of the body, so as to obtain an ability.
The ghost who has joined the Patrol Envoy has acquired the ability after being baptized by the Creation Pool, and the ability can be taken by any species, and the way to take it is to devour the Patrol Envoy.
Usually the patrol envoys go out to inspect in pairs, just like the classic partner bull head and horse face, black and white impermanence; The leaders of the underworld are very strict about the use of the Patrol Envoy Creation Pool, and only by promoting one person can a new ghost be hired, if there is an Inspector on the way to die, as long as no one is promoted, no new person can use it.
It's just different from the civilian work of the prefecture, the patrol envoy is a profession with a high mortality rate, Zhong Kui's group is already seriously short of manpower, and the top is about to overwhelm him, if five more inspectors die, Zhong Kui's days as an official will be over.
Everyone didn't dare to speak anymore, this look made Zhong Kui even more angry, he looked around, and his gaze was fixed on Xiao Liang: "Short! Why didn't the faceless come with you? Where did it go? ”
Zhong Kui is used to calling his subordinates by their characteristics, and everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak; Hearing Zhong Kui's voice raise one or two degrees and ask Xiao Liang, he knew that Xiao Liang was going to suffer.
Xiao Liang hesitated and said, "She's going to save people." ”
As long as Zhong Kui spoke, Xiao Liang was uncertain, and he was so concerned about the safety of Chen Yating and Zhang Xiaofan that Zhong Kui didn't listen to a lot of what he said.
"Saving people? Why didn't she come to my rescue? Zhong Kui pointed to his nose and said, "Doesn't anyone think I'm pitiful for a group of stupid subordinates?" ”
"Pity us, how can you be pitiful!" Although Xiao Liang wanted to tell the truth, he had been a ghost for a hundred years, and he was more human than a human spirit, so he immediately fell forward, used his acting skills that he had honed for many years, and said with emotion: "Team Leader Zhong is right, we are stupid, we are stupid, you have a lot of adults, just spare us this time!" ”
"Yes, you can!" Zhong Kui trained for five hours, and finally waited for someone to jump into the pit, he gritted his teeth word by word and said, "Tomorrow starts!" Your vacation is canceled! Tomorrow! Meet here! I will train you until you are fully activated and mastered by your abilities! ”
The ability granted by the Creation Pool takes time and training to be stimulated, and if you are lazy all your life, you will never have this extra ability.
"Whew" Xiaoliang exhaled, as long as he didn't listen to Zhong Kui scolding his mother here, he didn't care much about training or something.
"Shorty, tomorrow morning, if I don't see Faceless here, you know what the consequences are!" Zhong Kui also saw Xiao Liang's mental activities, after all, he lived from the Tang Dynasty to the present, and as soon as these little ghosts had their butts warped, he knew what shit they were pulling, and deliberately stumbled Xiao Liang: "Disband!! ”
Xiao Liang was depressed, but at this time he just wanted to go back quickly and see if Chen Yating and Zhang Xiaofan were okay.
After coming out of the underworld and hurrying a little way, he saw that Zhang Xiaofan's shop door was not closed at a distance of one street, and he hurriedly entered.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhang Tielin sitting on the ground, and then looked at the bed, a man and a woman were sleeping in arms, well-dressed, but the posture was too ambiguous, and Xiao Liang couldn't accept it when he looked at it.
"Senior Zhang" Xiao Liang bowed slightly to Zhang Tielin.
"Wait for me, it's almost ready!" Ten minutes later, Zhang Tielin slowly collected his work and said, "I'm sorry for that girl." ”
"Chen Yating saw it?" Xiao Liang saw this scene and heard Zhang Tielin say this, and immediately reacted.
"She did not hesitate to sacrifice herself in order to save my apprentice, if I hadn't passed by and saved her, she would have died at the hands of her master." Zhang Tielin sighed faintly: "I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I came back, she went out for an hour, and I don't know where she went." ”
Xiao Liang couldn't help but say worriedly: "She shouldn't be unable to think about it, right?" ”
"Cultivation has reached the ghost immortal, and it is not easy to die." Zhang Tielin had already inquired, in fact, the city of Pengcheng was a very safe area: "There are a few stronger than ghosts and immortals in this city, so she won't send it to the door by herself, right?" ”
"Yating! Yating! Zhang Xiaofan's heart twitched, suddenly sobered up, and shouted Chen Yating's name
