Chapter 68 Transactions
"Yang Xiao, does that ghost have anything to do with you?"
On the dimly lit commercial pedestrian street, a group of dead souls looked at the strange figures standing up, and they all looked at Yang Xiao on the side curiously.
It was a terrible ghost, and his appearance was seven or eight points similar to Yang Xiao, but he was younger, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old, and it was not against Yang Xiao who was just an adult.
The only difference is that there are a few blank parts on the face of the ghost, which looks similar to Yang Xiao, and the face is incomplete, as if a photo has been cut out in a few places.
"I don't know."
Yang Xiao also had doubts on his face, and said: "It is very likely that my body encountered a powerful ghost after leaving the ghost post office, and even he used to control it later." ”
"But I don't know this ghost, and my memories of the body are only kept at the moment when I left the ghost post office, and I don't know what happened to him later."
The face of the ghost foreshadowed a lot of things, but Yang Xiao really didn't know the origin of the ghost, but what he was sure of was that the ghost must have come into contact with his body.
Nightmare Yang Xiao.
This title was a taboo-like existence in the supernatural circle of the year, and it was a title that was killed by force, a ghost 'stolen' his face, and Yang Xiao didn't believe that his body in the outside world could condone the existence of this ghost.
The biggest possibility is that this ghost is controlled by 'him' from the outside world, and finally because of the death of the body, this ghost began to revive and wandered in the real world.
As for whether the face of the ghost would be someone else's, none of the souls thought about it, including Yang Xiao, because the ghost was exactly the same as him when he was eighteen or nineteen, and there was no difference in appearance.
Meanwhile.
On the other side of the street.
The old blood-stained red newspaper in the hand of the powerful ghost began to fly under the influence of some kind of supernatural effect, constantly floating in Li Hui's ghost domain, spreading towards the place where he was.
This newspaper is the real source, different from the supernatural derivatives that were sent away by Li Hui before.
There was the outline of a human face in the newspaper, with a terrifying evil nature, and with the fluttering of this thing, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing in the gray ghost domain.
The blood-stained red newspaper carried a terrifying supernatural power, as if it wanted to tear a hole in Li Hui's ghost domain.
"Do you think my ghost domain is the same as Yang's ghost domain? Newspapers can hide ghost eyes, but they can't hide ghost paintings! ”
Looked at.
Li Hui's expression moved slightly.
He disappeared directly in place, and the next moment he appeared in front of the blood-stained old newspaper, and without the slightest concern, he directly stretched out his palm and grabbed the red newspaper.
Smack!
The process went smoothly, and Li Hui's palm was directly grasped on the ghost newspaper.
His grasp was as if he had been hit by a supernatural bus, and the moment the supernatural collided, the strange face on the blood-stained red newspaper became distorted, and an extremely terrible scream was released, but it soon fell silent again.
The screams calmed down, and the blood-stained old newspaper was smoothly held in Li Hui's hand.
Stomp, stomp!
Almost at the same time that Li Hui suppressed the spirits contained in the ghost newspaper, the ghost standing by the bench realized that something was wrong, and his figure began to quickly retreat towards the other side of the street.
"That ghost actually took the initiative to retreat, it's a bit interesting, is that a ghost with wisdom, or is it that Li Hui seized that newspaper and changed the law of the ghost's actions?"
The souls who saw this scene all showed surprised expressions on their faces.
Normal only instinctive ghosts will not be like this, they will only act according to a certain instinctive law, just like a set computer program, which will run according to the set trajectory, and the same is true for ghosts, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to actively escape.
The word 'escape' is an act that only creatures with self-awareness and intelligence can do.
At this moment, everyone even wondered whether the figure on the other side of the street was a terrible ghost or some alien ghost handler.
But none of these thoughts in their hearts could affect Li Hui's actions.
Seeing that the newspaper ghost was getting farther and farther away from his place, and quickly retreated along the street, Li Hui's hand began to rise.
The next moment.
His palms began to swing in the direction of the newspaper ghost, as if he were painting in the air.
With his actions, the scene on the other side of the commercial pedestrian street quickly changed, and everything in reality began to blur, and a huge picture frame appeared and was erected at the exit on the other side of the street.
It's a weird scene.
It's as if the real street scene has been completely revised, and the original exit has become the entrance of an oil painting, and the frame is seamlessly integrated with the buildings on both sides of the street, without any sense of disobedience, as if it were meant to be this way.
In the face of this sudden change, the newspaper ghost seemed defenseless, and plunged headlong into the huge blank oil painting, as if it had walked in on its own initiative.
After the newspaper ghost entered the oil painting, the original blank oil painting also appeared in the picture.
The painting on it is the newspaper ghost, and it is still in a brisk walking posture, and the background of the painting is the commercial pedestrian street where Li Hui and his family are currently located.
"That's it."
There were revenants who sighed, but there were not many surprises in their words, they were obvious to Li Hui's strength, and they didn't think that they would overturn in the face of a powerful ghost whose horror level was not high.
As for how to judge whether the terrifying level of that powerful ghost is high, it can be seen from Li Hui's crushing situation.
The other side.
Accompanied by Li Hui's palm, he continued to wave.
The huge oil painting that had been erected at the end of the street disappeared suddenly, the scene inside the street returned to normal, and the blurred and distorted world began to become clear again.
In the process.
The footsteps of pedestrians on the street did not stop at all, and they walked in and out of this pedestrian street as if they were not affected in the slightest, and they did not notice any anomalies around them.
The reason is very simple, Li Hui's ghost domain only pulled in the existence with supernatural powers, as for those ordinary pedestrians who did not enter his ghost domain, they were still active in the real world.
After doing all this, Li Hui looked at the old blood-stained newspaper in his hand.
The blood stains on it were mottled and old, and it seemed to have been there for a long time, piece by piece, impregnating the color of the newspaper in red.
The newspaper also printed the outline of a human face, which could not distinguish between men and women, with an inexplicable evil nature, giving people the feeling of being creepy, as if you were looking at the outline of the human face at the same time, the human face was also looking at you.
This newspaper is a good thing, and it can be used to modify other people's memories, even the instincts of ghosts.
After looking at it a few times, Li Hui did not hesitate to fold the old bloodstained newspaper and put it in his jacket pocket.
The spirit of the bus shrouded his whole body, put the ghost newspaper close to his body, and the suppression would always exist, even if the ghost newspaper was quite supernatural, it still couldn't get rid of Li Hui's control.
"Jingle Bell~"
Meanwhile.
Li Hui's other pocket came with a ringing of a mobile phone.
Subconsciously took it out and took a look, Li Hui found that the caller ID was a special number of the headquarters, a string of English characters with numbers, and the number was not the first time he had called him.
It was the deputy head of the Ghost Rider Headquarters, Cao Yanhua's call.
"What do you want to do when you call at this time, do you still want to invite yourself to join the headquarters, but this is inevitably too frequent, right?"
Li Hui was a little puzzled.
But after thinking for a moment, I pressed the answer button.
"Li Hui, I'm sorry to disturb you by calling again so soon."
After the phone was connected, the voice of Vice Minister Cao Yanhua came from the other end of the phone, he seemed very polite, and he apologized, but to be honest, Li Hui did not feel much apology from Cao Yanhua's tone.
Recently, "the work at the headquarters should be very busy, as a deputy minister, you don't want to call me to chat, so what is the matter with you looking for me this time?" ”
Too many greetings didn't make much sense, Li Hui asked straight to the point, wanting to know Cao Yanhua's purpose.
"That's right, you're in Z Mountain City now, right?"
Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone did not say the purpose of making this call, but asked rhetorically.
"Hmm." Li Hui responded.
There's no need to lie, even if his ghost domain is hidden and can't be photographed, HQ can locate him in other ways, such as the one on his phone, and there are other ways to do that.
And Li Hui also vaguely guessed the meaning of Cao Yanhua's phone call at this time, and looked up at the top of the Caesar Hotel not far away.
I saw that the sky above was very dark, the light was blocked, and from a distance, it looked like a layer of dark clouds gathered in the sky above Caesars Hotel.
But in Li Hui's eyes, it was a different scene.
The gloom above the hotel was not a dark cloud at all, but a group of human heads gathered together, there were many of them, there were hundreds of human heads, all of them floating strangely in the air, like balloons.
Li Hui guessed that Cao Yanhua's phone call should be related to the head balloon incident.
Sure enough.
Cao Yanhua, who only listened to the other end of the phone, quickly spoke: "That's the case, there is suspected of a supernatural incident in the sky above Zshan City, and a plane has crashed so far." ”
"The person in charge of Zshan City is an Interpol named Tong Qian, but she has been transferred to Dachang City to support ......"
However, before Cao Yanhua's words were finished, Li Hui interrupted: "Dachang City is less than a thousand kilometers away from Zshan City, so it should be able to rush back soon at the speed of a helicopter, right?" ”
"Having said that, if you rush back to Zshan City from Dachang City, it will take two to three hours even by helicopter, and it is difficult to say what will happen to the supernatural events during this period, and it is very likely that the number of casualties will further increase."
Cao Yanhua was not annoyed by Li Hui's interruption, and continued to speak: "So I hope that if you are sure, you can deal with this supernatural incident." ”
"You haven't joined the Ghost Rider Headquarters yet, so this operation can be regarded as foreign aid invited by our headquarters, as for the reward, one red ghost candle and two white ghost candles, what do you think?"
"Not good."
Li Hui's eyes moved slightly, and he said his conditions: "It's not impossible for me to be a foreign aid, but the reward has to be raised a little more, two red ghost candles and two substitute death dolls, as for the white ghost candles, it doesn't matter if you give them or not." ”
Li Hui doesn't think much of the white ghost candle as a ghost-attracting thing, but he seems to have a lot of ideas about life-saving items such as red ghost candles.
Especially the substitute for the dead doll.
That thing is similar to Ye Zhen's substitute for the dead ghost, and its effect is on top of the red ghost candle, which can be regarded as a consumable supernatural item with strong life-saving ability in this world.
"It can't be!"
Regarding Li Hui's request, Cao Yanhua refused without hesitation.
"The storage of red ghost candles in the headquarters is not much, but the white ghost candles can give you a few more, as for the substitute death doll, that thing is not currently placed in people outside the headquarters, unless you join the headquarters, it is simply impossible."
"And you want too much, at this price, the headquarters would rather transfer Tong Qian from Dachang City back to Zshan City."
Hear the words.
Li Hui said in a flat tone: "The transaction must have an equal price, since I dare to ask for so much, I must have my own reasons." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone to respond, Li Hui continued to speak: "My advantage is that you can handle it, I promise to deal with the supernatural incident in the sky over Zshan City, and in addition, I will give you an additional message." ”
"Dealing with supernatural events is small, this news is the reason why it is really worth those rewards, it is about a supernatural place, it is a place established by ghost handlers during the Republic of China, and it is from there that the ghosts in the sky above Zshan City invaded the real world."
"And there are a lot of ghosts in that supernatural place, do you think this news is worth the price?"
Li Hui took the initiative to reveal some information.
The firewood knife in Li Qingzhi's hand has been seized by him, and the ghosts in the ghost hotel will invade the real world sooner or later.
Although Li Hui is not a good person and cannot suppress the ghost hotel by himself, he can still do it by revealing the news to the headquarters.
In his opinion.
At present, the best way is to directly get a golden gate to block the supernatural passage to Caesars Hotel like in the original book, and it is best to leave this matter to the headquarters with deep pockets.
"You mean really?"
As soon as Li Hui's words fell, Cao Yanhua's voice came from the other end of the phone, his volume was much louder than at the beginning, and it seemed that his heart seemed to be shocked at this moment.
Meanwhile.
The headquarters of the Ghost Riders in Okyo City.
In the vice minister's office, Cao Yanhua stood up directly from his seat, his face cloudy, as if he was thinking about the credibility of Li Hui's words.
Involving the supernatural land during the Republic of China, he knew the importance of this matter, and his mind turned quickly.
After a long time.
Cao Yanhua opened his mouth and said: "If what you said is true, I will agree to the requests you made on behalf of the headquarters." ”
He didn't think that Li Hui would lie about this matter, because there was no need, and it didn't make sense to tell a lie that could be debunked at once.
It is impossible for the headquarters to let Li Hui say whatever he says, and he will definitely send someone to confirm it, once the news is wrong, then the promised reward will naturally not exist.
But once the news is confirmed, what Li Hui said is true, there is a supernatural place left by ghost riders during the Republic of China in Zshan City, and the impact behind this is far more than the two red ghost candles and two substitute death dolls mentioned by Li Hui.
The trade-offs are clear.
Cao Yanhua believes that whether it is the minister, Wang Xiaoming, or others with certain decision-making powers, they will choose the same answer as him.
"What I said is naturally true, since you think my news is worthy of the reward I offered, then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance."
Li Hui's voice rang from the phone.
