Aoba Office

It took several hours just to look through the news.

There is no sound in the house. My parents and sister are probably asleep. There was no sound outside the window. Normally most people should go to bed at this time.

I held my phone and was in a daze for a long time.

I already have a vague concept in my mind.

After history has been changed, ghosts are no longer a secret and everyone knows their existence.

Ghosts are like a crime, which everyone knows and understands. It cannot be cured or prevented. At most, it can be controlled by various means, and when it occurs, it can be eliminated.

In the past, twenty or thirty years ago, maybe ghosts and ghost kings were not a big problem. They appeared and were eliminated, just like criminals in every country and every city, thieves, fraudsters, murderers... Some may escape for a long time, some may be caught immediately; some are just petty thieves. Touch, some are serial killers, causing huge and bad social impact.

There was panic, but no one thought the world was going to end.

The future world... seems to be the same.

The difference is that in the future world, it is ghosts who have the power of life and death for people, rather than people holding the power of life and death of ghosts.

I threw the phone aside, lay on the bed, and stared at the fluorescent lamp.

Can this state last until I find the ghost?

I had no clue and had no idea where to start.

Did Ye Qing leave the office just to look for clues?

Ghosts from a long time ago...

Could it be that ghost in costume?

I closed my eyes, the light from the fluorescent lamp still lingered on my retinas.

I thought about the appearance of that costumed ghost.

It's better to be him.

Entering the dreamland, to his lifetime...

There was a small hesitation in my heart.

The costume ghost is too strong. He can definitely find me and kill me.

The time...must be before his death.

He probably wasn't that strong then.

Was it hundreds of years ago? A thousand years ago?

Or longer...

Don't ask how long ago it appeared?

I was thinking wildly, my soul was still in my body.

I concentrated my mind and only thought about the appearance of the ghost in costume.

He...should still be there, right? It hasn’t been erased by changed history, right?

I zoned out a little again.

I immediately regained my focus.

I stayed like this for a long time, my soul still inside me.

no. There is no way to enter the dreamland.

I don't feel tired. The fatigue and headache caused by the previous vision had disappeared. My body should be recovering.

Unable to enter the dreamland... what did Ye Qing do? Or is there something weird about that ghost in costume?

I sat up, grabbed my phone, and searched for Big Horned Deer live broadcast.

The live broadcast platform is still there, and Ruan Han’s name is listed in the introduction on the platform’s official website, as is Zhao Hang. The photo of the boss is not a ghost in costume, but a stranger. But in the list of senior officials below, I saw two ghosts who attracted and bewitched Ruan Han and Zhao Hang.

The situation at Costume Ghost should not have changed.

really weird……

The butterfly effect is supposed to lead to substantial changes in reality. The reality has indeed changed significantly. People all over the world can now accept the existence of ghosts.

But I am still me, and my parents, sister, Shouzi and the others, and even Aoba and the others have barely changed.

This is the inertia of history and is good news. This proves that if I changed history, people like us would still exist.

But this phenomenon is somewhat unexplainable. It cannot be explained by the word "inertia" alone.

Chen Xiaoqiu once said a theory about fate. The general idea is that after a person is born, his life is basically destined. Genes determine a person's physical condition, and parents determine a person's personality and abilities. After going to school and receiving education, you may meet different classmates and teachers. But if everyone's destiny is determined like this at birth, in fact, who will Who you will meet is also destined. In this way, it is basically determined what kind of education a person will receive, what kind of job he will do, what kind of person he will marry, how he will educate the next generation, and what kind of life the next generation will lead.

According to this theory, the development of the entire world is inevitable.

When the influential factor "supernatural" is inserted into it, "inevitability" will definitely be broken.

Not broken…

I suddenly remembered the vision I had seen.

The illusion of flashbacks, the reversal of the past... Changes start from reality and affect one year ago, five years ago, ten years ago, a hundred years ago...

This kind of change bit by bit may have resulted in the "inevitable" lack of change now.

Are there any problems with Ye Qing's big plan? I shouldn't look for the ghost at the source. I should look for it if I don't.

I should start close.

First deal with the ghost king that appears within a year. During this time period, I will meet people from a year ago. Then, possess them and go to an earlier past, such as ten or twenty years ago. By then, I will also meet people from ten or twenty years ago.

Should that be done?

I held my phone and thought about it, feeling suddenly enlightened and a little unsure.

I turned the phone screen on and off and saw the search interface that popped up.

The black and white newspaper picture from before is still there.

In that photo, the long-haired figure cannot be distinguished as male or female.

The news wrote that this was an evil ghost that killed people for fun. It looked a bit like the ghost uncle. He also appeared at night, but instead of attacking people who turned on the lights at night, he attacked people walking at night.

The specific method of committing the crime is to follow the passers-by all the way, making the passers-by nervous and fearful. When a passer-by rushes home and takes out the key to open the door, he will kill him.

The victims fell on their doorsteps.

This ghost...

Let’s start with this ghost.

I stared at the photo.

Enter the dream, possess him, and see his life and death.

This is a springboard.

I concentrated all my attention.

The out-of-body feeling didn't come over me.

My head began to swell and hurt, and the muscles in my body became stiff and sore.

no……

Is the photo too blurry?

I searched the news headlines and there was no other news except this photo.

Only then did I realize that how this ghost was killed was not mentioned in the news.

Can the traditional things of Taoist priests and monks work? After all, history has changed, and the spells passed down in history should also have changed, right?

I searched for a long time and couldn't find any information.

All I can use is public search software. I may need to enter some national archives to find more news and materials from that time.

For this matter, Nangong Yao is the most suitable.

I subconsciously wanted to make a phone call, but inexplicably the words "skinny man" and "fat man" came to mind.

They said that Nangong Yao had been absent-minded recently, and that everyone in Qingye was like that.

The disclosure of supernatural beings is no longer a problem in today's environment. The only thing that they can worry about is Gu Yan and Nan Tian.

Nan Tian’s ability...

What exactly is that?

My mind wandered off again.

After concentrating, I suddenly relaxed and let my mind wander.

I took a breath and decided to find Chen Xiaoqiu. Chen Xiaoqiu should also be able to find a way to access the files from that year.

When I was about to make a call, I saw the time displayed on my phone.

It's six o'clock...

At this point in time...

I smiled bitterly, threw the phone aside, and lay relaxed on the bed.

Forget it, let's study this matter after sending my sister back to school.

I could feel that the tension that had almost driven me into a corner suddenly disappeared.

The whole world knows about the existence of ghosts. The whole world has been dealing with ghosts for many years and has become very comfortable with them. Even if the number of ghosts increases and monsters appear, it won't be worse than before.

seem……

The trouble was resolved before I knew it.

Thinking of this, I stared at the fluorescent lamp that was still on, feeling a little lost.
