Lin Xingzhou's mind was completely frozen like a mobile phone, and he really didn't know where to focus his attention. He should first pay attention to "what the hell is Wei Zhi", "Wei Zhi is bleeding", "Wei Zhi broke out The yin energy is very dangerous, he, a mortal, should leave the battlefield at the speed of light", or "the handle of the knife in Wei Zhi's hand can speak".

His train of thought was like an intersection without traffic lights, and the traffic was paralyzed in an instant. He simply gave up looking for the culprit of the traffic jam, cleared his throat and said, "So..."

Wei Zhi squinted at him for a while, as if trying to discern whether he was really not cowardly or stubborn, and then said after a while: "So your guess is correct, I am indeed a 'high-level ghost'."

Lin Xingzhou answered tentatively: "How advanced is it?"

"You can think whatever you want," Wei Zhi said, "but it's not quite accurate to say that I'm a 'ghost'. I'm actually a combination of Yin Qi and evil thoughts. It was like this before I took on a human form more than 1000 years ago. A black mist, like this."

As he spoke, he moved his fingers, and the black air gushing out from his palm condensed into a ball. As soon as he let go, he fell to the ground again and gathered into the swimming pool.

Lin Xingzhou rubbed his chin: "Why do I think this should be the character design of the villain boss?"

Wei Zhi didn't answer him, and continued: "The little devils are afraid of me and will avoid me, but at the same time my 'blood' is their best nourishment, so whenever they have the opportunity, they will not miss the 'free lunch' .”

His gaze sank down: "Here we come."

Lin Xingzhou turned his head to look at the swimming pool, and saw some black filaments drilled out from the water inlet and outlet of the pool bottom and the pool wall, and began to gather together in one place as if alive, more and more gathered, and finally twisted into several strands as thick as an arm. It rolled several times in the water like a swimming snake, and jumped out of the water with a "wow".

He took a step back almost reflexively, he had already taken out a fire talisman in his hand, and was about to throw it at that thing, but Wei Zhi suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"You back off."

Wei Zhi dragged him aside involuntarily, and said to Chi Shui, "Come out, don't fool me with these things."

Those hairs devoured the black air almost greedily, and twisted and crawled towards his feet. Finally, Wei Zhi lost his patience and stepped on the nearest strand: "Come out!"

The hair that was trampled by him twitched violently, twisting desperately trying to break free from his feet, but I don't know how heavy his strength is, and it didn't move at all.

At this time, the water in the pool fluctuated violently, and the water flow began to stir clockwise, quickly forming a vortex in the center. There was something in the vortex, which was so dark that it couldn't be seen clearly, and then the thing broke through the water suddenly, accompanied by energy The scream that pierced people's eardrums, and the water in the entire swimming pool exploded!

Lin Xingzhou felt as if his head had been hit hard, and his feet were so soft that he almost fell down. He hurriedly covered his ears, and tried to concentrate on watching. He saw those black things gradually condensed into a human shape, and then the black peeled off, and all the hair quickly retreated. , a girl in a white swim skirt appeared in front of her.

She stepped on the water, and finally stopped in front of the two of them, raised her head and looked at Wei Zhi: "See Lord Ghost King."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

Ghost... king?

This is not a "high-level ghost" at all, this is a "top ghost"?

He subconsciously looked at Wei Zhi, but the other party didn't seem to receive his gaze, and looked at the girl without squinting: "You should go, go where you should go."

Although the other party said "See the ghost king", he showed no fear on the surface, and raised his chin at him: "No."

"Don't force me to do it," Wei Zhi's sword flashed again, "Reincarnation and death, you'd better think about it."

"You dare not kill me." The girl was not intimidated by his threats at all, and she tilted her head fearlessly, "You are really strong, and no one in the entire ghost world is your opponent, but it's a pity..."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lin Xingzhou, with a smile in her eyes: "It's a pity that you haven't seen blood with this knife for decades. Why do you need to cultivate so many ghost hunters?"

Wei Zhi narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "You died within two months and were trapped in the swimming pool. Who told you so much information?"

"I don't need to worry about this," the girl said with a smile, "and whoever said that I was 'trapped', I obviously stayed here voluntarily. If it wasn't for your little friend to make trouble here, I would have lost those three lives." Accepted."

Lin Xingzhou's "little friend" twitched his eyebrows, feeling that the ghost in front of him had "beating" written all over him from his tone to his expression, his palms were itchy uncontrollably, and he really wanted to take a fire talisman and shoot her into a fireball.

At this time, his phone, which had been turned off, turned on again by itself, and a system prompt popped up, showing that the difficulty of the task had been upgraded to four and a half stars.

That ghost swallowed Wei Zhi's two mouthfuls of blood, and his level jumped half a star?

"I'm not reconciled," the girl said, licking the corner of her mouth, "Anyway, Lord Ghost King can't do anything to the same kind now, does that mean that even if I eat this kid, you can't do anything to me?"

"You can try."

"Really?" The girl looked at Lin Xingzhou excitedly, "I can't wait."

As soon as she finished speaking, her whole body had already moved in response, the black hair hanging behind her soared, and swept towards Lin Xingzhou like tentacles.The latter's scalp was numb for a while, and he couldn't help shouting: "Have you asked for my opinion?"

While he was speaking, he had already put the fire talisman in his hand in front of him, just facing the first strand of hair that was pulled over, the flames burned like a prairie fire in the blink of an eye, and the burned hair looked like fried live insects." With a crackling sound, the girl screamed and quickly withdrew into the water, only then extinguishing the flames.

Wei Zhi paused all over, and withdrew his hand that was about to swing the knife.

The girl was burnt by the fire talisman and instantly her face was swept away, her face became even more ferocious, and she attacked Lin Xingzhou again with red eyes: "I want to see how long you can hold on!"

Lin Xingzhou greeted another fire talisman honestly, forced the opponent back for the second time, and shook his hand that was almost burned: "It's so hot, so hot... Let me tell you, I did my homework beforehand, Water ghosts like you are most afraid of fire and heat, so I deliberately drew all the remaining talisman papers into fire talismans."

As he spoke, he took out his pocket and took out a handful of talisman papers: "Do you think my talismans will be used up first, or your hair will be burned first? You said that you are a good big girl, how ugly it is to be bald." .”

Wei Zhi: "..."

This person always seems to have an incomprehensible fear of the word "bald scoop".

"you wanna die!"

The girl was completely irritated, her hands were bent into claws, the pool water stirred up with her movements, a wave as high as a person was set off, and it rushed towards Lin Xingzhou!

A white light flashed in Lin Xingzhou's hand, and he held a round gadget between his fingers and threw it towards the water waves: "Play with you!"

The thing exploded in the air with a "bang", and white gas hissed out of it. The temperature of the water it touched suddenly dropped and condensed into ice. ice wall.

Wei Zhi's eyelids jumped out uncontrollably—the thing someone just used was a kind of ice beads in the app store, which can produce low temperature within milliseconds, and the price of each one is 100 million Ming coins. The little money earned is absolutely unaffordable.

That is to say... This guy used his talent to create something exactly like the items in the mall.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhi simply took a step back, folded his arms leisurely, and voluntarily stepped out of the battlefield.

There seems to be nothing about him here.

At this time, Lin Xingzhou came out from behind the ice wall, and continued to mock the girl: "You want to get my talisman wet, right? It doesn't exist, it's impossible in this life, so give up."

The girl roared, and her hair pierced through the ice like an electric drill, but Lin Xingzhou had already dodged elsewhere, and cheaply folded a piece of talisman paper into a "dart" and inserted it into the gap in her hair.

The flames burned up to the sky again, and the other party had already run away. While the other party was busy putting out the fire, he tore off a page of sketch paper: "Hey! Can you do it anyway? You are a four-and-a-half-star ghost anyway, why are you so good?"

This time there was a bigger wave in the swimming pool, and the girl jumped up, as if she wanted to kill him with one blow.Lin Xingzhou was waiting for this opportunity and threw all the ice beads in his hand into the pool, but he lost the time to avoid the water waves. Even though he tried his best to jump a step to the side, a splash of water hit the talisman in his hand.

At the same time, the girl had already thrown herself in front of him.

Wei Zhi flashed the saber in his hand, and a saber aura was about to slash out, but Lin Xingzhou did not dodge, he still greeted the girl with the "wet" talisman, and blinked at her: "Look at the plastic wrap!" ?”

Several fire talismans were photographed on her forehead at the same time, and the flames directly burned into a fire dragon. The female ghost rolled out in pain, but the water in the entire swimming pool froze. swallowed up.

Lin Xingzhou didn't intend to really burn her to death, so he tore off another page of sketch paper, conjured up a small fire extinguisher, and sprayed at the other party: "Why do you think you are bothering?"

Wei Zhi: "..."

too cheap.

He withdrew the saber stiffly, and pinched his brow with a headache.

Lin Xingzhou extinguished the flames he made, but still did not give the dying female ghost a chance to breathe. He had another object that looked like an ice bead in his hand, and he threw it at the opponent, and the object bounced with a "snap". It turned into a big net, tightly wrapping the female ghost in the net.

The ghost hunting net is priced at 50 ghost coins.

After Lin Xingzhou finished all this, he put away the remaining talisman papers, and gestured "OK" to Wei Zhi: "It's done."

Wei Zhi: "..."

The ghost king who was forcibly robbed of the limelight had a very ugly expression. He forced himself to cough twice calmly, and walked forward: "Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Xingzhou sat down on the ground: "I'm exhausted. Hurry up and deal with her. My talent can only last for two hours. I don't want to do it again."

The female ghost was trapped in the net, covered in foam from the fire extinguisher. She brushed away the sticky hair with a face full of disgust, and tried to lift the net again, but gave up after failing, and stayed where she was no longer struggling.

Wei Zhi took out a transparent capsule, the size of a thumb, and was about to unscrew it when Lin Xingzhou suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Wei Zhi cast him a questioning look, Lin Xingzhou probably had enough rest, and got up from the ground: "I have a question."

He looked at the female ghost with an unwilling expression: "I heard that you were killed by your classmates, and you feel resentful in your heart, so you want revenge, is that so?"

The female ghost snorted: "So what?"

"But I thought about it after I went back," Lin Xingzhou touched his chin and said, "I asked that fat man, and he said that there were about 260 people entering and leaving the swimming pool during the time period from 20 pm to 83 pm yesterday, and among them the age was 10 years old. There are 18 people who are up and down—my "up and down" refers to a floating 22%, which is between [-] and [-] years old."

He squatted down: "Then, Zhou Xiaohan, why did you choose only those three out of the 83 people? What attracted you to them, or did you find that they were different from other college students?"

Zhou Xiaohan gave him a "bah" across the Internet: "I can choose whoever I want, what does it matter to you?"

Lin Xingzhou turned a deaf ear: "I inquired again this morning, and found that these three people came from three different schools, and one of them was an alumnus of your university before your death. These three people, two women and one man, did not know each other. It also means that when you choose your target, you don't target gender or school, but have other screening methods."

Zhou Xiaohan gave him a squinting look, as if there was a knife in his eye, and "sick" was written on the knife.

Seeing her like this, Lin Xingzhou knew that she would not be honest, so he sighed, stood up and said to Wei Zhi, "Take her first."

Wei Zhi unscrewed the "capsule" and pointed it at Zhou Xiaohan. She screamed, and the whole ghost was sucked into the capsule, turning into a cloud of gray-black smoke.

Wei Zhi screwed up his things and put them away: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I want to clarify one thing," Lin Xingzhou said, "I always feel that her real purpose is not to hurt people, otherwise she is so powerful, two months is enough to complete several major cases."

As he spoke, he opened the app to let the duration of the talent end early: "Before Jiang Fen——it was the ghost in the hospital. Her incident gave me a lot of vigilance, and then the hair-eating ghost. I always thought it was at first. Corners are sharpened to hurt people.”

Wei Zhi looked at him quietly, and the latter slowly turned his gaze to meet him: "Maybe seeing is not necessarily believing, many things are our subjective assumptions, and the truth of things often depends on people's starting point of looking at the problem, is it true?" Taking 'good' as the starting point, or 'evil' as the starting point, once the choice is wrong, the final result may be completely opposite."

He said softly: "After I went home yesterday, I thought about it carefully. There is one thing that is very strange, that is, the few hairs wrapped around Lu Jie's legs. At that time, the soles of my feet were also itchy. I think Zhou Xiaohan was there. I tried, but my hair didn't get entangled with me, but left as soon as I touched it, so why did it entangle Lu Jie? What's the difference between me and him?"

Wei Zhi followed, "Why?"

"Later I recalled a detail," Lin Xingzhou said, "I was sitting by the pool, and Lu Jie wanted to pull me into the water, so he made a movement of pulling my leg. I thought maybe it was this movement that made Zhou Xiaohan lock onto the water. made him a subject of observation."

Wei Zhi frowned: "So?"

Lin Xingzhou took a deep breath: "I still can't judge whether my guess is correct or not. If you are not busy...can you accompany me to watch the surveillance?"

Half an hour later, the two successfully negotiated with the fat man and arrived at the monitoring room smoothly.

Although the surveillance camera of the swimming pool was destroyed by Wei Zhi, the previous video is still there. The staff retrieved the video from yesterday afternoon between [-]pm and [-]pm. After some searching, they quickly found the part where the water ghost appeared.

They locked the three victims from the screen, and then scrolled forward along this time point, and found that the actions of the three were different, but they did have a little similarity.

First of all, these three people all have companions. The first victim had forcibly pulled another girl into the deep water area before being in distress. It can be seen from the screen that the girl was not good at swimming and was very reluctant.

The second victim pushed her into the pool from behind while her partner was not paying attention, while the last boy held another boy's head and pushed him into the water for several seconds.

"Did you find it?" Lin Xingzhou said, "The common thing they have in common is that they have all made acts of 'attempting to hurt others'. Although they seem to be playing around, for Zhou Xiaohan, a girl who died in the 'playing', That's what kills."

"So she wasn't 'revenging' at all, she was 'rescuing'."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the other people present looked at this and that, and didn't know who to strike up a conversation with.After a long while, Wei Zhi said to the fat man, "We've already taken care of the ghost for you, and the swimming pool can operate as usual, but please don't say anything about it to the public, don't reveal our names, and don't describe that ghost as heinous. do you understand?"

As he spoke, he poked a finger on the other's chest, and the fat man felt that he couldn't move his whole body for a moment, and he returned to normal after he took his hand away.The fat man was covered in cold sweat and nodded desperately: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will definitely do it."

The two left the swimming pool. Before getting into the car, Lin Xingzhou asked him, "What are you going to do with Zhou Xiaohan?"

Wei Zhi took out the car keys and opened the door: "Send it back to the underworld for processing. As I said, the underworld only pays attention to the result, not the process."

Lin Xingzhou frowned: "Then how can it be done? There is still a 'lighter punishment' in the sentence in this world. Don't you underworld consider cause and effect?"

"Get in the car," Wei Zhi said helplessly, "Didn't you save all the people she was about to kill? Although the process was extremely vicious, in the end, there can only be an 'attempted murder'. What are you worried about?"

Lin Xingzhou was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he recall that, just as he was about to smile at him to relieve his embarrassment, for some reason, his nose suddenly itched, and he sneezed with his head tilted.

He sniffed violently, and as soon as he got into the car, he heard Wei Zhi ask, "Are you cold?"

"Uh... maybe maybe maybe..."

Wei Zhi's eyebrows furrowed in an instant, and his voice also raised his voice: "You have a cold and run around? You use fire and ice. You think your body is very strong, don't you?"

Lin Xingzhou was speechless, and said that he hadn't told him that the text message last night was sent because he had a cold and was unconscious.

Wei Zhi asked again, "Have you taken your medicine?"

"I drank two packs of cold medicine..."

However, Boss Wei, who has never been sick, did not know what cold granules were. He heard the name and thought it was a special medicine, so he helped him buckle up his seat belt very angrily. The car drove out of the parking lot: "Go home and quickly change your wet clothes, take medicine and sleep, do you hear me?"

Lin Xingzhou nodded quickly, but the other party's eyes fell on his neck again: "Where is the necklace I gave you?"

Lin Xingzhou looked down, then took out his pocket and touched it: "Forgot... I brought it."

Wei Zhi: "..."

The air pressure in the car suddenly dropped by two atm, Lin Xingzhou wrapped his wet clothes tightly, feeling inexplicably cold without turning on the air conditioner.He glanced around uncontrollably, and finally fell on someone's hand holding the steering wheel: "Well, your injury...are you okay?"

"If you have time, please take care of yourself first."

Lin Xingzhou shivered from the ice in his words, and quickly turned his head to the side, not daring to look at him again. The scenery outside the window quickly reversed, making him a little dazzled.

Wei Zhi directly turned the car into a rocket, and all the anger in his heart turned into rocket fuel, sprayed all the way into Beiyuan Community, and stopped at the door of Lin Xingzhou's house: "Get out of the car."

Lin Xingzhou's mind had already started to be confused, but at this moment he woke up with a start, and hurriedly opened the door to get out of the car. Unexpectedly, his whole body was weak, top-heavy, and he staggered almost to kiss the ground passionately.

"Are you able to do it?" Wei Zhi said again, "I told you yesterday not to be brave, when will you remember that you were reborn to continue your life, not to ruin your life?"

"I... remember when..." Lin Xingzhou retorted in a low voice, and then immediately changed the subject, "Then what, I'll go up first, anyway thank you today, you have worked hard, you are busy, see you later."

Wei Zhi: "..."

Lin Xingzhou's 36 plan was to keep going, and he ran away in a hurry. Wei Zhi sat in the car for a long time without moving. After a long time, he pinched his brows helplessly: "Zero, watch him for me."

"That's not good, boss," Zero's voice came from the handle of the knife at his waist, "People also have privacy."

"Just do what you're told, there's so much nonsense," Wei Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a few days, and you can finish it after making sure he's okay."

"Follow the boss."

Wei Zhi took out his mobile phone, and there was a system message on the screen——
