Chapter 163: The Night of Seventy-Seven Death
"Why?"
In the narrow bedroom, Lin Xi was lying on the bed with his back facing the sky, like a spread out "big" character.
He just stared at the ceiling blankly, his eyes were distracted, and his face was full of bewilderment, and even the beautiful girl who was close at hand seemed to be blind.
It's been three days since the lab conversation.
The night after the conversation, Zhu Shiqiu committed suicide in the laboratory.
When they first heard the news, Lin Xi and the others were struck by lightning, however, when they hurried to the scene, they were told that even the old man's body had been specially treated according to his own requirements, and he could not open the coffin to meet them, leaving them with only a will written in advance.
"Hey, Lao Tzu is not your grandson, you left a will for me to have a fart!"
Lin Xi rolled over, his voice hateful.
Not far from his hand, there was the old man's will, but strangely enough, it did not give any specific account except for the re-emphasis that they should assist the institute in the defense on the forty-ninth night of the last day, but attached a study report that was almost purely imaginary.
Throughout the entire research report, more than ninety percent of the pages are devoted to a kind of organism that only exists in theory - electromagnetic life.
It is commonly known as ...... Ghost.
In this report left by the old man in the last moments of his life, it was as if he was stunned.
He combines a variety of folklore, historical documents and religious rituals, as well as scientific and technological theories of electromagnetism and biology, and discusses in detail the possible forms of ghosts, living habits and confrontation methods. In the end, a shocking conclusion was deduced......
Seventy-seven life-seeking night!
These five words, written in red and red characters, are written in the last part of the research report, the handwriting is bold, almost occupying most of the entire manuscript paper, the handwriting is into the paper for three points, through the back of the paper, I don't know how much red ink the old man dipped in when he wrote, anyway, the poignant red, just so arrogantly in all directions, like the dripping blood splashed wantonly, it looks so thrilling, creepy.
According to the old man's theory, in folklore, the unjustly killed ghosts will come back on the night of Qiqi to ask for their lives, not groundless, but because after people die, the magnetic field of life will still accumulate and increase because of strong resentment, until the day of Qiqi, the strength of this magnetic field will reach an unprecedented maximum, which can not only affect human thinking, let them see countless terrible scenes, and even directly interfere with the material world, such as when the ghost appears in the ghost movie, the electric light will flicker dimly, The appearance of snowflakes on the TV screen is not deliberately created by the director, but by the influence of this magnetic field.
"But...... It's all about me! ”
Lin Xi roared angrily.
Seeing this, he still didn't understand that the enemy that the old man asked them to help defend was the unjust soul of the victim who died at the beginning of the cataclysm!
The old man swore in the letter that just as there would be a big leap forward for human beings at the beginning of the epoch, the energy of the clouds would also make these legendary long-extinct ghosts reappear, and this time, these betrayers of life will no longer be limited to the sporadic appearance of ghost mansions and hellish places, but will appear in every place in the world on a large scale like living corpses!
As long as there are dead people, there will be ghosts!
Lin Xi can fully imagine that if it is not handled well, this will be a new round of catastrophe after the end of the world!
Of course, it's not that every ghost can kill people, because people also have their own life magnetic field, only when the ghost's magnetic field overwhelms humans, there will be casualties, after the end of the world, some old and frail human beings have long been eliminated, and the rest are young people with high magnetic field strength, that is, the so-called "strong blood", which can force back some weak ghosts, but in any case, there are more than 10 million people who died during the cataclysm, and only one tenth of these people became powerful ghosts, It's enough for the survivors to drink a good pot.
So the solution given by the old man in the letter is:
Ordinary people huddle together to survive, and the superimposed life magnetic field will have a lot of deterrence on ghosts, which is why the ghosts in the movie like to kill from lonely people;
In addition, it is to recharge the warhead that has shot creatures, or use a saber that has seen blood as a weapon for soldiers, because these things have the victim's life magnetic field left on them, they can also disturb the magnetic field of electromagnetic life, and play a certain killing role.
However, the most reliable way still fell on Lin Xi and the other strangers.
For example, a physically strong alien like Lin Xi, his own life magnetic field is countless times stronger than that of ordinary people, which is completely comparable to those peerless generals with pure blood and yang in ancient times.
As for the spiritual aliens like Wu Qiuli, the role they play is even more terrifying:
The electromagnetic waves emitted by their brains have a killing effect that is completely comparable to the ancient spells that specifically target ghosts, and they can also sweep away a large area when they are destroyed, which is why Zhu Shiqiu repeatedly told Lin Xi that they would help defend it.
With them, the institute is tantamount to an extra team of nemesis dedicated to cleaning up ghosts, and it is really not too easy to defend.
"But it's good that we're here! Why can't you think about it, old man? Isn't it good to be alive? ”
Lin Xi covered his head, pinching the suicide note left by the old man in his hand, so sad that he wanted to cry, "After saying that, you still want to give me plastic surgery, are you just dead and pulled down?" ”
After the conversation in the laboratory, he really regarded the old man as an amiable elder and a respectable hero, and he held back his stomach for a while, thinking about asking him again when they met next time.
"Okay, Xiaolinzi, don't be sad."
A pair of white and tender little hands reached out from behind and grabbed Lin Xi's arm.
The girl's voice sounded a little uneasy, "The sun is about to set, tonight is Qiqi, let's do what the professor told us first." ”
When the word "Qiqi" was spoken, Lin Xi could clearly feel that a dense layer of goosebumps instantly appeared on her exposed smooth skin.
After all, it's a girl's mind.,For ghosts, this legendary monster.,There's still a fear from the bottom of my heart.。
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lin Xi held the girl's soft with his backhand.
Wu Qiuli's delicate body immediately stopped trembling slightly, and it tightened all of a sudden.
This is also the reason why Lin Xi sent out Xia Qianzhu and Little Apple, but only kept her by his side, not because he had any bad intentions, but because the strength of everyone's life magnetic field also has a lot to do with the emotions at that time, as the saying goes, "People are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points", but if he is scared when facing ghosts, even if he is a Taoist priest who hunts ghosts full-time, his life magnetic field will not be much stronger than an ordinary person.
Xia Qianzhu was born in the military and had a strong mind, and when he had just awakened and his self-confidence was bursting, it was estimated that he was wishing for a few more ghosts to kill him; And after the little apple instinctively possessed her, she was even more fearless, and Lin Xi even suspected that even if there was a ghost king, she would be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
The only weakness is Wu Qiuli.
Although she has strong abilities, she is still a little girl in her mentality, afraid of ghosts and the dark, so Lin Xi simply left him by his side to take care of him.
Besides...... He himself wants to keep someone by his side to be brave, isn't it!
