Aoba Office

I was distracted and the scene I saw had moved indoors.

Lu Qiaolan has become a zombie, holding a teddy bear, her eyes unfocused.

The teddy bear sat in Lu Qiaolan's arms, stretched out his little hand, and gently touched Lu Qiaolan's cheek. Even so, Lu Qiaolan did not lower her head to look at the teddy bear.

Zhang Shan was very anxious. He looked through Lu Qiaolan's medical records and called his friends, hoping to find an expert for examination.

Lu Qiaolan's son Zhang Xiaojun was sitting opposite Lu Qiaolan, holding a teddy bear in his hand and looking at his mother worriedly.

"What's wrong with mom? What kind of disease is it?" Zhang Xiaojun murmured to himself.

The little bear also touched Zhang Xiaojun's face, but his facial expression did not change, which may make people feel his loss.

Zhang Shan was talking on the phone and walking around in the room. The call ended with a plea and a thank you. After putting down the phone, Zhang Shan put his hands on the table and lowered his head deeply.

Zhang Xiaojun's worried gaze shifted to his father.

Zhang Shan is like a trapped animal, anxious, irritable, and worried. No one he contacted had good news for him.

Lu Qiaolan's problem seemed to be a psychological problem, but none of the psychiatrists she had seen before could get anything out of Lu Qiaolan's mouth. Lu Qiaolan was just slow to react, not unresponsive. It can be seen that she is still rational and does not think there is anything wrong with her situation. This attitude of not cooperating with treatment prevents any progress in psychotherapy. Some antidepressant drugs also did not work on Lu Qiaolan.

Zhang Shan walked to Lu Qiaolan's side and touched Lu Qiaolan's hair sadly. He saw the bear in Lu Qiaolan's arms, and happened to see the bear looking up at him. Zhang Shan also touched the bear.

His attitude towards these teddy bears is complicated. They appear to be harmless. Before Lu Qiaolan's abnormality occurred, these bears were like ordinary toys and did not move. It was the day they reunited that Zhang Shan saw the bears move a little. After Lu Qiaolan's accident, they surrounded Lu Qiaolan with concern and comforted Zhang Xiaojun. In terms of time, they were highly suspicious, but under Zhang Shan's observation, no suspicious actions were found on them.

Zhang Shan still found an opportunity and secretly called Qingye.

The Qingye contact information he found was Wu Ling's mobile phone number. This is the phone number Lu Qiaolan left behind when she commissioned Qingye.

The call was answered and the situation was explained.

Zhang Shan got some pretty good news. Wu Ling promised to rush over to check on Lu Qiaolan's condition.

That's when the accident happened.

Zhang Shan fell ill before Wu Ling arrived.

I could feel something erupting in Zhang Shan's body. That feels like some kind of ability.

Zhang Shan fell ill and refused Wu Ling's help. Turning around, I saw Zhang Xiaojun who had become numb.

Before Zhang Shan fell ill, Zhang Xiaojun had already followed in Lu Qiaolan's footsteps and was the second person to have problems.

Teddy bears ran around the room, helplessly stroking their owners' bodies in an attempt to regain their consciousness.

But it didn't take long for their bodies to deteriorate further. Basic human physiological activities that could still be maintained have stopped. They became real toy people. Moreover, it is a toy without an owner. They sit still like real toys.

The bear, who looks like a toy, is like a living person and wants to take care of them.

They even made a loud noise that attracted neighbors. They press the answer button when the family's colleagues and friends call, hoping someone will check on them.

somebody is coming.

The family seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and told the visitors that they were fine but just sick.

After the people left, they fell into that weird state again.

Teddy Bear had to find another way. The call was placed. They can't make a sound, they can only tap on the phone to send messages.

I saw Wu Ling and Liu Miao. The two of them just pried the door in and saw this strange situation.

"Already dead." This was the conclusion Wu Ling came to after examining the three of them.

The bears stood in the room, motionless with their heads raised, staring at Wu Ling.

"Sorry." Wu Ling said regretfully, "They are dead. The soul is still in the body, but there is no response."

The bears lowered their heads.

Wu Ling and Liu Miao discussed the next step.

They had to leave the house eventually.

The door closed, sealing the room.

The bears walked up to the family, climbed onto the couch, and hugged their bodies.

This is a scene that is somewhat similar to the death of Lu Qiaolan I have seen, but it is completely different.

Zhang Shan's memory remains in this scene. The sun rises and sets outside the window, day after day. But the time in the room seemed to be frozen, staying at this moment forever.

I exhaled and woke up from Zhang Shan's memory.

Seeing Zhang Shan's memory made me even more convinced of Wu Ling's analysis.

The culprit is not the Ghost King or the toy spirit anymore, but Lina.

Lu Qiaolan's family was not made into toy people by some ghost or spirit, nor was they killed by toys, but was infected with some kind of strange plague.

If I use my ability, I might be able to restore their bodies to a healthy state and eliminate the plague. But this approach treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Lina is still here, and we only know a rough idea of ​​how Lina spread the plague. This way we can't eliminate Lina and the plague.

I thought of something, suddenly got up and went to my sister's room.

The toy, branded "Cute Baby", was still there, still sealed in a plastic bag.

I observed it for a while and found no viruses, bacteria, or special curse breath.

But this thing is always a ticking time bomb.

I pressed my hand against the plastic bag.

The plastic bag reflects light, casting strange light and shadow on the doll's face.

I used my ability, and the plastic bag disappeared first, and my hand pressed on the doll. The velvet feels very soft, and it feels like your hands are sinking into the doll's body.

At the same time as the ability was activated, I felt something strange.

I stopped using my ability, raised my hand, looked at it, and rubbed my fingers.

This strange feeling...

I thought of the ghost king I had just eliminated.

Somewhat similar...

There was also the burst of energy that I felt in Zhang Shan's memory just now.

This is……

An idea flashed in my mind, and I reached out to touch the surface of the doll again. This time, it felt clearer. There was an energy coming from the doll, which was a power similar to the Ghost King, and it was also the power that exploded in Zhang Shan's body.

I quickly released my ability and easily eliminated this power, and also eliminated the doll.

I hurried back to the room and told Wu Ling what I had discovered.

"Oh? So, is the source of the plague still the Ghost King?" Wu Ling said, "Lina just used the Ghost King's ability to spread this kind of thing... This should be her use of herself Ability to do it.”

"Yeah. But now the Ghost King has been eliminated by me." I said immediately.

The power of ghost kings comes from the people and ghosts they rule. In addition to using yin energy to transform into various things, their use of power is to use the rules they set themselves.

That toy ghost king may have set some rules so that the living people on his territory will gradually turn into toy people.

Lina took advantage of this and took the initiative to use her own abilities to forcibly spread this rule, turning it into a strange plague.

However, now that the Ghost King has been eliminated, logically speaking, the rules should also be abolished. The plague should disappear on its own rather than continue to spread.
