Chapter XVIII
"What does Mr. Chen think of ghosts?"
Zhou Wenlong did not directly answer Chen Yinjun's question, but also asked a question.
"It's unimaginable, it's incomprehensible, it's hard to fight against!" Chen Yinjun quickly gave his answer.
Before yesterday, Chen Yinjun would never believe that ghosts were real, and they were so terrifying, there were only a few people left who were wiped out in a short period of time, and ordinary people had no chance to escape in front of ghosts, even if they were strange people like Zhao Kai who controlled ghosts, they had to be careful. That's it, in the end, he still didn't escape the fate of being eaten by a powerful ghost.
"Indeed, this is also the reason why the Strange Trick was established, which is fundamentally to stop the spread of evil spirits, or rather killing. After all, we can't get rid of ghosts. Zhou Wenlong said.
"Well, what do you say? Can't be wiped out, what does that mean? Chen Yinjun wondered.
Zhou Wenlong sighed and said: "It's literal, we humans can't solve ghosts from the root, even if it's someone like you or Zhao Kai who has controlled ghosts and become weird, it's not good, at most it's just a confront, this is an iron law that has been verified with countless human lives around the world." ”
The ghost could not be eliminated, this was completely unexpected by Chen Yinjun, it is easy to understand that ordinary people cannot face ghosts, after all, the killing methods of ghosts are mysterious and terrifying, and ordinary people really don't have too many means to fight.
If Chen Yinjun hadn't picked up Zhao Kai's lighter with a heart and boldly speculated that it had the function of early warning, he would not have survived to be killed by the pitch-black ghost when he saw Zhao Kai for the second time, even so, Chen Yinjun was still in danger behind him, and without the three-fingered ghost hand that he inadvertently controlled, I am afraid he would not be able to sit and chat with others as he is now.
"Imprisoned!"
Chen Yinjun thought of a sentence that Zhao Kai had mentioned before.
"Can it only be a detention?" Chen Yinjun muttered softly.
Zhou Wenlong said: "It seems that Mr. Chen knows a lot, that's right, it can only be detained, in other words, our more understandable words are the kind that arrests ghosts and goes to jail for an indefinite period." ”
Zhou Wenlong picked up the square box wrapped in white cloth beside him, put it on the table, and motioned for Chen Yinjun to take a look.
Chen Yinjun glanced at it suspiciously, then lifted the corner of the white cloth, just glanced at it, Chen Yinjun's right hand instinctively felt the stimulation, Chen Yinjun clenched his fist with his right hand, and quietly let go after the feeling was not so obvious.
Inside the white cloth turned out to be a closed box made of pitch-black metal, the metal appearance was a bit like crystal, there was a kind of frosted feeling to the touch, the box was closed, and the overall look was a little familiar and weird, Chen Yinjun couldn't remember where he felt this feeling for a while.
Chen Yinjun quietly covered the white cloth and said to Zhou Wenlong: "What is this?" ”
"This is a prison that can hold ghosts, or a prison for ghosts, made of a special strategic metal object, with high ductility and sealing, the value of this strategic metal object is comparable to gold or even surpasses gold, the output is scarce, and it is the only special substance that the ghost can not affect so far, once the ghost is imprisoned, unless it is released artificially, the ghost will never be able to escape." Zhou Wenlong solemnly introduced.
"So this is what Zhao Kai wanted them to send when he caught the clone of the three-fingered ghost hand, is this kind of thing?"
Such a small box can imprison the ghost and make it impossible to escape, it seems that it is not completely unreasonable for a peaceful society to last so long, and even if it cannot be confronted head-on, it can still be stopped by other means.
Chen Yinjun covered the white cloth, pushed it back to Zhou Wenlong, and said, "Team Leader Zhou, what I said now seems to be a little far from my question, so let's answer my question head-on." ”
Zhou Wenlong said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, and I just hope that Mr. Chen can know that we currently have very few means to fight against supernatural events, except for the existence of people like Zhao Kai or you who have controlled the ghosts and become strangers, we people say something unpleasant, even if there is this kind of detainment, we still can't deal with the ghosts." ”
"I can understand that, but what does it have to do with me? After all, I'm still a student, a student who hasn't graduated yet. Besides, looking at Zhao Kai's appearance, I believe that such supernatural events must have happened a lot before I met this one. Chen Yinjun pointed to his own information on the desktop.
"Mr. Chen joked, from the moment you can control the ghost and become a weirder, you are not an ordinary student. Indeed, there have been a lot of supernatural incidents in recent years, and our strange and strange bureau has also discovered and remedied them in time, but it is also the case, and our personnel attrition is also very serious, especially for strange people like Zhao Kai or you. ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? You wouldn't want me to take over Zhao Kai's class, would you? Team Leader Zhou, are you kidding? If it's a joke, it's a bit too much. ”
Chen Yinjun instantly understood, it turned out that Zhou Wenlong was playing with this idea!
"Thinking is sharp and fast, there is a certain defensive psychology but not losing stability, and young people should have no less vitality, but I think it is just coming into contact with supernatural events, and there has been no major change in mentality for the time being!"
This is Zhou Wenlong making a character profile for Chen Yinjun.
"I'll tell you the truth, I had this idea after I learned from you that Zhao Kai was dead, but the person in charge of a city is not the turn of me to be designated by a small team leader, and it is not a strange person who can become the person in charge of a city, after all, the scope of the person in charge is quite large, above the existing relevant departments." Zhou Wenlong didn't deny it, but he also said that he couldn't make such a decision within his power.
"Tsk, so the person in charge of a city still has a lot of power, but I'm not interested right now, I've told you basically everything I know, if that's all you know, I think, it's time for us to say goodbye."
After speaking, Chen Yinjun got up and was about to leave.
Zhou Wenlong raised his hand and said wait, and said: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, although the person in charge is more urgent, we have another person in charge in Dayue City, but he is temporarily on a business trip to the field, otherwise, this incident should be solved by him and Zhao Kai together." ”
"Then you came to me today, don't you want to see me and chatter, right?" Chen Yinjun said jokingly.
"Believe it or not, I'm mainly here today to meet you and learn about Zhao Kai's death by the way."
Chen Yinjun said: "I have also seen this face-to-face, I didn't hide the story of Zhao Kai's death from you, if you really don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, since you can't answer my question, then I don't need to talk to you here." ”
"Mr. Chen, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't know or I don't want to talk about the two questions you mentioned, but that you can find out the relevant information about the strange people and the supernatural events yourself, and I believe it will be much more detailed than what I dictated!"
"Oh, what do you say?" Chen Yinjun said.
Zhou Wenlong pointed to Zhao Kai's phone and said: "This phone is specially customized by our Strange Bureau, only the person in charge of the city to which the Strange Bureau belongs can be configured, and the material is also the same strategic metal object as the detention object you have just seen, so this mobile phone will basically not be disturbed by the supernatural power, and the power is sufficient, even if it is not charged for a year, it will not affect the use, of course, all the software information on it is also based on supernatural events, and the information you need to know can also be found on this." ”
No wonder Chen Yinjun could feel a familiar weirdness when he first came into contact with the detainees, which turned out to be the reason for this call.
Chen Yinjun said: "I can't use the phone. ”
When Chen Yinjun got this phone in the domain space of the three-fingered ghost hand at that time, he wanted to call for help from outside, but the buttons on it did not respond at all, which made Chen Yinjun suspect that this call could only be answered in one direction. Now it seems that it is possible to prevent information from being missed.
"You don't have to worry about this, after I confirmed that you are a survivor of this incident, I have already asked people to enter your information into our strange bureau system for the first time, and you can use this phone now."
Chen Yinjun opened the phone in disbelief, the phone screen really lit up, there are only three APPs on the screen, the other two are a bit similar to chat software, and the middle one, the icon is a grimace formed by a dark red flame, but the two eye sockets and mouth are black, and there is the name of the APP under the icon - the weird!
There is no doubt that this is the software that Zhou Wenlong said can learn about supernatural events and strange people!
But Chen Yinjun didn't open the APP for the first time, but said to Zhou Wenlong: "Team Leader Zhou, thank you, I'll take a look back!" ”
Zhou Wenlong waved his hand to say that it was nothing, but after the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Zhou Wenlong spoke: "Since this is the case, then I will not bother you for the time being, Zhao Kai's phone is also troublesome, please keep it for the time being, and we will contact you again if there is something." ”
After Zhou Wenlong finished speaking, he also handed the detention object wrapped in white cloth to Chen Yinjun and said: "Mr. Chen, please take this detention object by the way, I think you will need this thing more than me." ”
Chen Yinjun stretched out his hand to take it, still thinking about why Zhou Wenlong suddenly left him with the detainee, Zhou Wenlong had already gotten up and left, and when he walked to the door, he said to Chen Yinjun: "I hope Mr. Chen can seriously consider the matter of the person in charge, goodbye!" ”
