Chapter 15: Catching Ghosts
"Hao Huai!"
Hao Ren, who had already run to the gate, roared, but could only watch the tongue of the hanged ghost burrow into Hao Huai's mouth.
And Shangguan Xue still stood there stunned, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Gurg...... Gurg......
Like an unlucky ghost about to be choked to death, Hao Huai could only let out meaningless syllables from his mouth.
Then, his body shriveled down at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Don't ......"
Hao Ren's eyes were split as he looked at the scene in front of him, and when he roared and rushed over desperately, a hand gently rested on his shoulder from behind.
It's just a moment.
Hao Ren's mind was overwhelmed by anger, and he instantly became frightened.
There's a ghost outside the door!
Because the hand on his shoulder was as cold as a piece of ice.
The cold seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and Hao Ren only felt like he had been stuffed into the freezer in the middle of winter.
Even, half of his shoulder was frozen and unconscious in just a few seconds.
"Stay here and don't go anywhere, whatever happens."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.
It's just that there is not a trace of emotion in the tone, and it is cold like a robot.
The voice was from Lan Lan, the girl with a double ponytail, and Hao Ren was sure that he would never hear it wrong.
"Could it be that she's a ghost too?"
Hao Ren smiled bitterly in his heart.
Normal people rarely see ghosts once in their lives, and it's good to be yourself, where can there be ghosts, and there is a group of them.
Syllable......
There was a soft thud.
It was Hao Huai, who was sucked dry by the hanged ghost, and fell to the ground with round eyes, and he was already too dead to die anymore.
The hanged ghost pulled his tongue out of Hao Huai's mouth and looked vigilantly at Shangguan Xue, who was motionless at the door.
The two ghosts looked at each other like this.
But in the blink of an eye, the hanged man suddenly let out a scream, and crawled backwards into the room with a wave of his limbs.
Bang...... Boom......
It was the sound of wooden windows being smashed.
The hanged man escaped through the window of the room.
"Hao Huai......"
Feeling the shoulder that was suddenly released, Hao Ren only had time to roar, and before he could rush over, he saw Shangguan Xue slowly turn around.
It's just that its gaze didn't fall on Hao Ren, but looked calmly behind Hao Ren.
Click......
Suddenly.
It was like a bubble bursting, and everything in front of Hao Ren's eyes began to crumble.
"Here?"
When Hao Ren reacted, he found himself standing in a compound illuminated by candle flames.
The courtyard is full of tables and chairs covered with red silk, and the big character "Xi" decorates the courtyard and the courtyard......
It's just that.
The candles lit up in the courtyard turned out to be miserable white lanterns used to commemorate the dead, and even the characters that filled the courtyard were cut out of white paper......
At the end of the courtyard is a tall mansion with an open door.
In the middle hall of the mansion, there is a heaven and earth table that is also covered with red silk, and a bride wearing a phoenix crown and a red veil covered with bright red makeup is sitting alone at the table.
On the other side, it turned out to be a posthumous photo!
The breeze blows, and the bride's red hijab is slightly upturned.
"Lanlan!"
Through the big red hijab that was blown by the breeze, and with a quick glance, Hao Ren found that the bride above the high hall turned out to be the girl Lan Lan with a double ponytail.
It's just that before Hao Ren could figure out what was going on, he saw a figure appear out of thin air.
Just stood straight in front of the door of the mansion.
It's Shangguan Xue, and it's also a ghost!
Da ......
Unlike Hao Ren, who couldn't move at all, Shangguan Xue slowly stepped over the threshold step by step, walked into the middle hall of the mansion, and slowly approached the red-makeup bride.
It's just that as Shangguan Xue stepped into the high hall, the whole world began to distort again.
Even, Hao Ren could see that the table that was obviously empty was suddenly full of dead people!
It was full of people who were bleeding and dying miserably.
Or maybe it's a ghost!
As Shangguan Xue stepped into the high hall, she approached the bride with red makeup.
The fierce ghost in the courtyard was like a landslide and tsunami, desperately pounced on the mansion with the gate open, and pounced on another ghost~ Shangguan Xue......
Syllable......
As the gates of the mansion were closed, the world began to crumble once again.
Hao Ren's eyes were dark, and his five senses were lost.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in the old house.
Hao Huai's shriveled corpse was still lying outside the door with round eyes, looking dead, staring at Hao Ren deadly.
And the ghost in the house was gone.
"You're awake."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind him.
Hao Ren turned his head stiffly, he was a delicate young man he had never seen before.
"Hello, I understand, it's a ghost catcher under Team Lan."
Understand that with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand.
"Hello."
Hao Ren didn't stretch out his hand, he looked at everyone like a ghost now.
"Just now you came out of Team Lan's ghost domain, this is the real world."
Explain clearly, looking at Hao Ren's frightened and confused eyes, he scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll explain it to you from the beginning." ”
"It was requested by Team Lan."
Understood, and added.
"There are ghosts in this world, you know that."
Hao Ren nodded.
"Since there are ghosts, then there must be people who see ghosts, just like me, and Team Lan."
"In some specific circumstances, the ghost does not kill us, but lives with us in a strange way, so we gain the power of the ghost."
"That's why we call such a person a ghost master."
"Of course, ghost masters who can live with ghosts are extremely rare, and there are currently less than 100 people recorded in China."
"Ghost Master?" Hao Ren's eyes changed slightly.
"Well, although the ghost master gains the power of the ghost in the case of symbiosis with the ghost, he also has to bear the erosion of the ghost at the same time."
"Just like a chronic poison, the power of the ghost erodes the ghost master little by little, until it completely occupies the ghost master's body."
"Like a ghost possessed?" Hao Ren took the initiative to ask.
"Well, the meaning is pretty much the same, but we're more used to calling this kind of ghost erosion a resurgence."
"Huh...... Of course, we're not going to let this revive happen, because ghosts can be killed. ”
understood that he smiled, and he didn't know if he was comforting Hao Ren or comforting himself.
"Kill yourself with another ghost!" Hao Ren suddenly spoke, which made Ming Ming a little stunned.
"I don't know how you know, but what you said is not wrong, there is no way for people to kill ghosts, only ghosts can kill ghosts, or use strange props with the power of ghosts to kill ghosts."
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much about ghosts."
Suddenly he changed his style and said, "Because the attraction of living people to ghosts is far less than that of ghosts." ”
Hao Ren: "? ”
"What you mean is that ghosts will hunt ghosts and then increase their strength, so ghosts are also strong and weak."
Knowing that he was a little surprised, he glanced at Hao Ren and said, "No wonder Team Lan values you so much." ”
"You're right, ghosts are graded, and the more ghosts you hunt, the stronger the power of ghosts will be."
"So you ghost masters are raising ghosts?"
Hao Ren glanced at it and understood, his words made him stunned, he really hadn't thought about this point.
"Sort of, but it's not that simple for the power of the ghost to become stronger."
He shook his head and said: "The weakest ghosts are generally called [geist], [yin ghost] and the like, and supernatural events such as ghost hitting the wall and ghost pressing the bed are caused by them, but they are generally not harmful. ”
"Oh, by the way, foreign countries like to call this kind of ghost [ghost]."
"[Shade]?"
Hao Ren was a little surprised, he didn't expect that if there were ghosts in this world, even ghosts would have a class.
"Then there are the [evil ghosts], [terrible ghosts], [calamity ghosts] and [ghosts and gods]."
Hao Ren, who looked puzzled with a puzzled expression, continued to explain: "Evil ghosts generally cause small-scale strange incidents, and they can also cause small-scale casualties. ”
"And once the ghost gets out of control, it will cause a wide range of strange incidents, and at the same time cause large casualties."
"As for the scourge, you can think of it as a natural disaster if it gets out of control."
"Not to mention ghosts and gods, which are already within the scope of gods."
"Therefore, the corresponding ghost master is also divided into five levels, Yin Soul Division, Evil Ghost Division, Powerful Ghost Division, Calamity Ghost Division, and Divine Master."
Hao Ren nodded and asked; "What does that have to do with me?"
Understand spread his hands and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”
Hao Ren: "......"
