The life of the black cat is unusually uneventful.

At the same time, on the other side of the city.

A middle-aged man in a black shirt was frowning and staring solemnly at a meter in his hand.

At this moment, the pointer inside the meter has been filled to the right, and it has even long exceeded the red area marked with danger.

"Sss

Probably subconsciously, he took a puff of the cigarette that had not yet been extinguished with his bearded lips.

"Whew."

As a large cloud of smoke was slowly exhaled.

The middle-aged man stood in place, stiffly removed the cigarette butt that was about to burn out in his mouth, and then flicked the cigarette ash with his fingertips, muttering to himself.

"Maybe it's condensed into an evil spirit, this matter is not something I can manage."

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone from his pocket.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the man made a straight call.

"Toot, toot, toot."

Wait until three empty rings have passed.

The call was answered.

"Hey."

"Hey, it's me, Kashiwagi."

"Ah, Mr. Kashiwagi, please speak."

"The abnormal fluctuations in Kawaya City, I have confirmed it here."

"yes, how's it going?"

"The news is true, the exact location of the incident is in the attached garden in the Kanto Community of Kawaya City, under a big tree that looks quite old."

"Is there any more accurate information?"

"The tree is conspicuous enough that it should be visible at a glance. In addition, this fluctuation has exceeded the ordinary manifestation level, and it is expected that something is turning into an evil spirit, I can't handle it, so you can send more people. ”

"Okay, I see, I'm sorry for you, Mr. Kashiwagi."

"It's nothing, just remember to give me the reward."

"Rest assured, we will transfer the payment to your account within three business days."

"That's okay, I still have something to do, hang up first."

"Okay, looking forward to your next call."

"Don't do it, it's better to answer my phone less."

"Toot." Silently pressed the AFK button.

The man who called himself Cypress stood in front of an old tree with his hands in his pockets.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

After a few moments, he turned around and made another call.

"Hey, Lao Qin, it's me, help me investigate the death cases that have occurred in Guanxia District in recent years. Yes, it doesn't matter, it's just a private matter, just send the file to my office. Well, good, good. I'm sorry for you, I'll invite you to dinner next time. ”

By the time the sound faded away, the man had already left the community.

The city was getting more and more restless, and as a detective, he also felt a little busy.

……

There is a spirit in this world, but most people can't see it.

In other words, all life has a soul.

The heavier the thoughts of life, the heavier the soul.

The heavier the soul, the more likely it is to covet the world.

As a result, the soul that refuses to leave after death is called the white spirit.

Most of the white spirits are unconscious, they only have thoughts about their lives. Therefore, they will only linger on the location of their thoughts. When the thoughts are gone, they go away with them.

But there are also good and bad thoughts, and evil thoughts will never be satisfied, so they will never dissipate.

Over time, they rightly turned into something else, a gas that was also invisible to the naked eye, and was called an evil spirit.

Evil spirits cannot give birth to consciousness, but they can interfere with the present world and bring disaster to living creatures. And the evil thoughts of the living creatures are used as a guide to erode their souls so that they may grow.

The larger the spirit, the more living things it can affect, and the worse the calamity it will bring afterwards.

Until the worst-case scenario occurs, the evil spirit will condense its own appearance at the time of death, gain memories of its previous life, and then become a resentful spirit.

Spirits are conscious, and each of them can be a cause for the disaster.

In ancient times, when technology was not yet developed, a single wraith could even create a dead city.

Only a small number of spiritual practitioners who are born with the gift and who have studied it diligently afterwards have a way to deal with them.

Fortunately, with the rapid development of science and technology.

In recent years, even ordinary people, through professional training and special tools, have gradually been able to deal with some simple supernatural events.

Even in order to prevent the birth of resentful spirits, human society has also set up anonymous offices, they walk in the unknown shadows, investigating all kinds of unsolved cases, intending to snuff out the danger in the cradle.

Over the years, people have come up with a set of guidelines for dividing the intensity of the supernatural.

The first is the manifestation, that is, the stage when the supernatural has just appeared, and it is also the stage that ordinary people can solve.

In the supernatural events at this stage, only the least harmful white spirits will appear, and the weaker individuals among them cannot even affect living creatures.

Even the white spirits with strong evil thoughts can only slightly interfere with people's minds before they are completely reduced to evil spirits.

However, don't underestimate this humble ability, in a situation of mental chaos, some people are likely to follow their instincts and commit serious crimes.

For example, murder, rape, etc.

Therefore, even if it is only a supernatural event in the manifestation stage, it also needs to be dealt with carefully.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, it will lead to irreversible consequences.

After that, it is an evil spirit event that is not easy for ordinary people to intervene in.

Once an evil spirit is formed, the influence of the spirit on the living creature increases exponentially.

The most intuitive manifestation is that it can make people unfortunate and therefore more prone to disaster.

Under the ensuing bad luck, people's mentality will undoubtedly become more and more negative, and the psychological defense line will become weaker and weaker.

In this way, evil spirits can easily eat away at people's souls, and then seriously damage people's spirits, making the host become a corpse-like existence.

In this process, the evil spirit will use the spirit of the living creature to strengthen itself, and the more powerful the evil spirit, the wider the range it can spread, and the faster it can devour the soul.

At this point, they have become a regional disaster, and even bring various natural disasters to the local area.

Such as earthquakes, typhoons, floods, etc.

Unless there is a top-level spiritual practitioner who intervenes, there is no way to solve the problem at all.

Finally, there is a paranormal event with a resentful spirit.

They are commonly referred to as the Gloom.

Plagues rarely occur in modern society, and usually not a single ghost is born for decades, but once a spirit is formed, it cannot be easily destroyed.

Many resentful spirits cannot be killed because they have their own set of endogenous logic, and they will not die if the rules are not broken.

Therefore, people can only seal them in some utensils and keep them strictly.

The instrument that seals the evil spirits is called a curse.

There are thousands of incantations from ancient times to the present day, and now they are scattered all over the world and are secretly contained.

There is no doubt that the spirits cannot be allowed to escape from the spell.

Otherwise, thousands of resentful spirits, it will be a world-class disaster.
