Chapter 44: Tracking
"Is it a ghost born out of the body after death?" Lin Hui thought in his heart, and quietly followed behind this ghost. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The ghost moves slowly, but it seems to have a specific goal, and its trajectory is completely straight in one direction.
Seeing this, Lin Hui no longer followed, but launched a swift movement to jump onto the roof of the house, and went straight across in the direction of the ghost's advance.
Not long after, when he jumped over the rooftops, he found another ghost, this time an old man, the same old man who had died of illness a month earlier.
The ghost of the old man came out of the wall, and it was also moving in one direction, and the direction of its progress was the same as that of the middle-aged man in front of him.
Lin Hui guessed and continued to run forward.
Soon, as Lin Hui crossed the street, he saw a third ghost, this time it was a woman, this person Lin Hui had also seen, and she was also one of the people who died of that disease, and among the corpses that had just been dug up by Lin Hui, she was one of them.
Lin Hui continued to move forward, and then reached another street, this time he saw a ghost again, it was a little boy who was twelve or thirteen years old, this boy Lin Hui had never seen, but among the people who died of that disease in this city, there were indeed several little boys of the same age.
When Lin Hui arrived here, the little boy was in front of a dusty lobby, and he swam straight to this lobby, and then went straight through the closed door on the front and went inside.
Lin Hui glanced at it, then raised his feet and planned to continue walking, but at this moment, he suddenly realized the strange aura emanating from the lobby in front of him, which seemed to be unused.
Lin Hui stopped, took a few steps back, and concentrated his spiritual power in his ears to enhance his hearing.
This is the place with the smallest number of people in Mingyang City, and there are only a few people in the surrounding houses, all of whom have fallen asleep at this time, and there is a burst of snorting sound that Lin Hui hears, and the lobby in front of it is very quiet, there is no sound, but no sound does not mean that there is no one.
He sat quietly on the roof, looking at the eerie lobby, waiting for a reaction. And the child's ghost has not come out of the back of the lobby since he entered, which means that the destination of the child's ghost is here.
Lin Hui felt that there must be something in this, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he waited here for the situation to change.
In this way, after a while, the night sky gradually showed signs that it was about to dissipate, and the strange atmosphere in the lobby remained, and the voice of a person could be heard.
"It's wonderful! We have refined such a pure grudge, and it seems that we have been given this task, which is our blessing. Inside the lobby, a man said, his voice tinged with surprise.
And there was not only one person in this hall, after this man, there was another. The man spoke now, and a deep voice came out.
"Indeed, this is the first time I've seen such a vigorous revenant, if it weren't for the fact that this soul could withstand refining, we wouldn't be able to refine such a pure resentment. But this thing is too strange, it's just a mortal soul, how can it be that we have been refining it for a long time?"
"Refining resentment?" Lin Hui listened to the words of the two, his eyes rolled, he didn't know what the resentment the two were talking about.
"I think there must be other such souls in this city, how about we refine a few more souls here before starting the mission? No, why don't we just kill a few people in this city and see if their souls will be so energetic and able to refine such pure resentments. While Lin Hui was thinking, the surprised man in the lobby said greedily.
"No, our mission was sent by a person from the top, and we must not allow any mistakes! Not to mention that this city has a certain degree of connection with the Qingyun Sect, if you attract people from the sect, how should you be responsible?" the other man shouted in a low voice at this time.
"Well, okay, I'm just talking casually, why are you so serious. The greedy man didn't seem to dare to resist the other party, and there was a slight hint of humility in his voice.
"Mission, what mission do they have, and what kind of people do they belong to?" Lin Hui listened to the conversation between the two outside, showing a thoughtful expression.
"Anyway, it's almost dawn now, and it's not easy for us to move during the day, so let's get some sleep and then start the mission at night. The man in the lobby said in a deep voice.
"Good. Another man responded, and the lobby fell silent after the sound of footsteps was heard.
They may have fallen asleep at this time, but Lin Hui did not dare to rush into it, after the incident of Zhao Remnantlei, Lin Hui's way of acting became cautious, and he would never act rashly until he saw his opponent clearly.
Lin Hui neither planned to act nor leave, he took out three invisibility talismans from the storage bag and pasted them on his body, and after being invisible, he sat quietly on the roof, waiting for night to fall, and the two of them walked out of the lobby by themselves.
Then the night sky brightened, and by the next morning, as the sun shone on the ground, the whole city gradually woke up.
At noon, the streets of the city gradually became crowded with people, then the afternoon passed, and then the evening came.
In the middle of the night, the door of the lobby, which had been quiet, was finally pushed open, and two people dressed in red came out, one tall and the other short, whose red clothes seemed to be stained red with blood.
Of the two, the tall man with a stone compass in his hand turned and walked toward the west side of the street, followed by the low one.
When the two of them walked, bursts of black gas poured out of their bodies to form a veil covering their bodies, and then the black gas gradually became invisible, and the figures of the two disappeared along with the black qi.
Invisibility ......
Lin Hui was not surprised, he concentrated his spiritual power on his ears to enhance his hearing, and under the wrapping of black qi, the footsteps of the two seemed to become extremely slight, if the distance was too far, even if Lin Hui enhanced his hearing with spiritual power, he would not be able to hear it.
Lin Hui jumped off the house, remained invisible, and quietly followed behind the two.
The two men walked down the street, walking, and came to a stop at an intersection.
"This is it. ”
The taller of the two said suddenly.
"Here. ”
The short man next to him answered the call, took out three flags from his storage bag, and planted them in three places around them, and the three flags were connected by lines to form a regular triangle. This is the formation.
The formation arranged by the short man was a hidden formation, and after the formation was launched, the breath of the two was completely covered in the formation, and even the sound disappeared completely, even if Lin Hui used his hearing to the extreme, he could not hear the voices of the two, because this formation completely isolated the sound.
Lin Hui remained invisible, standing not far from the two of them, concentrating his spiritual power in his eyes, but he couldn't see anything, the stealth ability of this formation was relatively superior in the same formation, and even the spiritual power reaction generated by the formation could be hidden. Even if you use spiritual power to increase your eyesight, you still can't even find out that there is a formation here.
Lin Hui thought about it, since he couldn't see through it, he didn't act rashly, so he stayed here quietly and waited for the two of them to come out.
............
About two hours passed, and the formation was suddenly put away by the short man, and the existence of the two was re-revealed, at this time the tall man still looked at the stone compass and turned left towards the left street of the crossroads, and the short man followed behind.
When the footsteps of the two gradually faded away, Lin Hui did not continue to follow, but walked to the place where the two of them were standing just now and looked at the ground.
He blessed his eyes with spiritual power, strengthened his perceptibility, and then saw nothing.
Lin Hui thought for a while, raised his hand and pressed it towards the ground, and suddenly the ground shook, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and countless cracks spread like spider silk under Lin Hui's feet. Then the cracks spread to the surrounding area, but for some reason, only a circle with a diameter of thirty centimeters was not affected, and this crack gradually spread, already beyond the thirty-centimeter circle, and spread to the back. In this way, Lin Hui was surrounded by cracks, but in this crack, only a thirty-centimeter circle no longer had cracks.
"Is it here. ”
Lin Hui walked to the side of the circle, and shook his right hand into a fist.
His punch seemed to hit the ground, but in fact it was not, there was no ground here, there was only a phantom of a piece of the ground, and what his fist hit was a barrier formed by a small formation.
Bang!
Lin Hui's fist shattered the barrier as if breaking glass, and as the barrier broke, the illusion disappeared, revealing a pit in front of Lin Hui's eyes, this pit was more than thirty centimeters in diameter, constantly spreading underground, I don't know how long it was.
Lin Hui observed the hole, and then gestured with both hands, and then he found that the diameter of the hole seemed to be the same as the compass in the tall man's hand.
If that's the case, what is the purpose of their burrowing here?
Lin Hui thought for a while, released spiritual power into the hole, and then made a move to form a gravitational force with this spiritual power.
The effect of gravity extended all the way to the depths of the pit, and as Lin Hui beckoned, he quickly pulled backwards, and finally pulled something out of the depths of the pit.
This thing that was pulled out by Lin Hui was a cloud of gas. A cloud of green gas, this gas condensed into a ribbon shape like a water mist, although it was a gas, but when it was pulled out by Lin Hui, it never dispersed due to the force, and it seemed to have a stable form.
