Daoism catches ghosts [Rebirth]

Chapter 40 Ghost Building 4th Floor

"If I can do that, do I need to talk nonsense with you?" Wei Zhi said, "Temporary missions can't be given up, you can figure out a way for yourself."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

He racked his brains and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of any other way, so he had to ask the other party: "Is the drought easy to deal with?"

It took several minutes for Wei Zhi to reply: "What do you think?"

Lin Xingzhou was trembling: "Then can I apply for newbie benefits again?"

Wei Zhi: "..."

The two negotiated for a long time, and finally Wei Zhi chose to compromise: "Tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, see you downstairs."

Lin Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, quickly threw the unlucky mobile phone aside, put his palms together and bowed to it three times, and said "Namo Amitabha" and "Urgently as a law", and only burned three more sticks of incense , I just hope that the ghost king on the phone will calm down quickly.

Master Lin's hand speed dropped severely due to his nervousness, and he didn't produce a few more pages of drafts by the appointed time.In the afternoon of the second day, the whistle sounded downstairs on time, and he ran to the balcony to see that it was indeed Wei Zhi's car.

He rushed into the bathroom and groomed himself like a dog, as if he was about to attend some important ceremony, but when he got downstairs, he was hit by the heat wave outside—he had been staying at home with the air conditioner these days, it was really Ignored that this summer has been unbelievably hot, and it seems that it hasn't rained since the last "didi".

Only then did he remember that the weather station's high temperature warning had lasted for an unknown number of days.

Because of his guilty conscience, Lin Xingzhou didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to Wei Zhi, and the other party naturally didn't want to rush to talk to him, so the two could only stay silent all the way, with only the sound of the air conditioner in the car.

The car drove all the way to the suburbs—Jingquan has developed well in recent years, only the west side started a little later, and there seemed to be some evil things there decades ago. ".Later, a developer contracted a commercial building here, but during the construction, workers frequently fell to their deaths, so rumors spread everywhere, and they were spread one after another. In the end, the project was stranded, and the developer packed up and left. The completed building has become an empty shelf, and it is still standing there and no one cares about it.

Wei Zhi drove the car towards this desolate "no man's land".

Lin Xingzhou had never been here before. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that there was such a place in Jingquan. What he saw was a towering building, standing there very abruptly, and the surrounding area was empty and there was nothing. No, even plants are very rare.The scaffolding outside the building has not been dismantled, and all the buildings have no doors and windows, and all the black holes are exposed, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

When he got out of the car, he only felt that he stepped from the Antarctic to the equator, and he was about to be roasted instantly.

It was just when the sun was about to set. I don’t know if it was his illusion. The sun seemed to be very close, and the clothes on his body seemed to be on fire in the next moment. He couldn’t help but said: "Why is it so hot, when I came out It’s not so hot yet, it’s been almost an hour, why is it getting hotter as the day gets later?”

"No," Wei Zhi said, walking up to him, stretching out his hand to squeeze his wrist, "It's because we're getting closer to Hanba—let's go."

This commercial building is surrounded by a wall, and the iron gate is rusted, and it is estimated that it cannot be opened.Due to long-term exposure to the sun and rain, a part of the wall had collapsed, so Wei Zhi led Lin Xingzhou to climb into the wall from here.

Lin Xingzhou touched his wrist that had been touched - there was a hint of coolness coming from there, as if forming a protective film on his body to isolate the heat from the outside.He followed Wei Zhi as he approached the building, and at a distance of 200 meters, he heard the rhythmic alarm sounds of "Didi" and "Didi" from his mobile phone.

He took out his cell phone to check - level [-] yin qi warning.

"Mute." Wei Zhi said.

Lin Xingzhou hurriedly followed suit, and walked a short distance, when he suddenly saw something moving in the window on the first floor of the nearest building, and there was a yellow-green light in the darkness, which seemed to be a cat's eyes.

When he got closer, he heard a sharp "meow", and then the thing flashed through the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "There are stray cats in this place. I thought there was no grass growing. Strange, there is no domestic garbage here. What do they eat?"

"Are you sure it's a stray cat," Wei Zhi said without looking back, "or, are you sure it's a live stray cat?"

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

He had goosebumps in an instant: "What do you mean, you mean it's... a ghost?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard two crows calling from above his head. He looked up and saw a few crows flying out of the windows on the top ten floors, flapping their wings and going to the distance.

"These are 'whistles'," Wei Zhi said, "the ghosts of stray cats and dogs are the 'whistles' on the ground, and the ghosts of crows are the 'whistles' in the sky, just like your human security guards. These animals are responsible for keeping an eye on you. Once abnormalities are found, their superiors will be alerted immediately."

At this time, the sky was already getting dark, and Lin Xingzhou inexplicably felt that his tone was gloomy, and white sweat began to break out on his neck: "Who is their superior...?"

"Ghosts are just like people. Whoever has more power will speak more effectively, and other ghosts will obey him. In the world of ghosts, power is equal to power."

"That is to say..." Lin Xingzhou swallowed, "Five-star, Hanba?"

Wei Zhi suddenly sneered: "Of course, it was before I came."

The two walked downstairs to the tallest building, and entered the building through the door. The moment they entered, Lin Xingzhou suddenly felt that the light was blocked. It was clear that all the windows could see the light, but it just felt that the light could not enter. Coming into the building, the inside of the building is still pitch black, which looks weird.

He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight, only to find that the Yin Qi alarm had been raised to level six.

The effect of the flashlight is also very poor, as if the light was swallowed by something, he can only follow Wei Zhi closely, the man's vision seems to be unaffected in the dark, and he can still walk on the ground in the building full of construction waste .

Wei Zhi went straight to the stairwell: "I just counted, this building has [-] floors in total, and the place where the crow appears is on the [-]th floor, according to the rules of our ghost world, the 'flying whistle' must be above the master, specifically" It is impossible to judge how much it is, I personally tend to be less than ten floors. The 'Ground Whistle' must be below the Lord, and I also estimate the tenth floor for the time being."

In other words, the location of Hanba may be between the seventh and tenth floors.

"You people often use 'seven' as a cycle, for example, there are seven days in a week, there are seven souls in a human, and seven heads after death, etc. In the world of ghosts, this number is also very popular."

So it is more likely that there is something on the seventh floor.

The construction of the building has not yet been completed, and the stairs are not even equipped with handrails. It is no joke to fall down accidentally. The steps are covered with dust, and every time you step on it, Lin Xingzhou followed Wei Zhi to the platform on the first and a half floors. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped: "This building has been completely occupied by ghosts. Maybe there are different ghosts living on each floor. Any kind of hideous ghost may appear. You should be mentally prepared."

"Also," he said after a pause, "the last time you were in the swimming pool, you caught a cold, your body was invaded by Yin Qi, and my seal was used to withdraw the ghost, which caused the seal to be diluted. The combination of these is the root cause of your illness—— —I mean, if you come to such a gloomy place again in such a short period of time, be prepared to get sick again."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

I always feel that Wei Zhi has a lot of resentment towards this matter.

The two continued to go up, and when they reached the second floor, Lin Xingzhou couldn't help but looked inside, only to see a child crawling on the ground, crying while crawling, then he seemed to have noticed them, stood up suddenly, and ran away in an instant up.

Lin Xingzhou pointed to the child: "Ghost?"

Wei Zhi didn't speak, so he had to look at the phone by himself. The system was kinder and had already searched for the corresponding illustration book for him.

[Name: Child Ghost

Features: fast

Combat strength: 10]

Wei Zhi did not squint, Lin Xingzhou just took a second look, and he had already moved a certain distance from him. He hurriedly followed in three steps and two steps, and saw a small but very big head on the platform between the second and third floors. The ghost was moving slowly, and the ghost soon noticed them, resting its head on one hand, and slowly moved aside to make way for them.

The kind system continues to give illustrations:

[Name: Big Head Ghost

Features: Mild

Combat strength: 15]

When we got to the third floor, a shrill scream pierced the silence around us. There seemed to be a ghostly figure flashing in front of us. Something shouted "Ghost", and it didn't know where to hide in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xingzhou's eyebrows twitched—a ghost, is he still afraid of ghosts?

[Name: Coward

Features: Tiny is really small

Combat strength: 20]

On the fourth floor, before he had time to look in, he saw a few black shadows like mice running towards him, chirping and chirping. One grabbed his pants leg, the other was about to climb up, and One bounced on the wall, hugged his arm directly, and stretched out its paw to "snap" his phone.

He frantically grasped the phone firmly, and when the flashlight flickered, he saw a brat who was not afraid of death bite Wei Zhi's ankle with a "wow".

The ghost king went into a rage on the spot: "Get lost."

Several little ghosts let out a sharp "squeak" at the same time, fell off Lin Xingzhou's body with a crackling sound, and ran away without looking back.

[Name: Mischievous Ghost]

Features: naughty and skinny

Combat strength: 25]

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

I don't know which one is more naughty, Naughty Ghost or Pipiling.

The two of them walked up to the fifth floor and finally saw no more ghosts. Lin Xingzhou thought that Wei Zhi's "roll" had calmed down these troublesome little things. There was a breath of cool air in his ear.

Thin goosebumps appeared on his neck instantly, and he turned his head suddenly to look back, but there was nothing.

Lin Xingzhou was baffled, wondering if it was a psychological effect?I took a flashlight and looked around for pictures, but still found nothing, so I hesitated and continued to follow Wei Zhi, and then found that besides the two of them, there was a third person's footsteps.

He couldn't help looking back again, but there was still nothing, and when he took another step, the sound of footsteps followed him like a shadow.

At this time, he heard Wei Zhi sigh: "You really like ghosts."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

Wei Zhi raised his hand and waved, Lin Xingzhou only heard a muffled groan from behind, something was forcibly slapped away by him.

[Name: Suspenders

Feature: I'm behind you

Combat strength: 30]

On the sixth floor, a headless strong man stumbled out, shouting as he ran, "Head, head, where is my head? Have you seen my head?"

Lin Xingzhou hurriedly stepped aside and pointed out: "Well, there is a big guy on the second floor, why don't you go to him to discuss it?"

"Second floor? Okay, thank you..." It ran downstairs, still muttering, "My head..."

[Name: Headless Ghost

Feature: The world owes me a head

Combat strength: 35]

Wei Zhi looked at Lin Xingzhou speechlessly, and the latter shrugged at him: "The ghosts here... don't seem to be scary, do they?"

The two finally climbed to the seventh floor, but the inside was empty and there was nothing there. Wei Zhi walked around, only to feel that the temperature here was astonishingly high: "It's still hot, it just left, let's chase it."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Xingzhou's wrist and dragged him upstairs. The latter was dragged by him so that his steps were unsteady, and he bumped into someone's arms without paying attention.

[Name: Daredevil

Features: Hit people!Hit someone again!Today is also a bumpy day~

Combat strength: 40]

On the ninth floor, a ghost with the appearance of a butler blocked the way, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw a living person. Do young people want money? Did you drop this gold brick or this silver brick?"

When Lin Xingzhou heard "money", he couldn't help but take another look at the other party. Who would have thought that Wei Zhi would wave it away: "I think you need a somersault."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

[Name: Money Drawer Ghost

Features: Squinting eyes are monsters, but this squinting eye will really give money

Combat strength: 45]

On the tenth floor, a ghost hanged outside the window in the stairwell, with its tongue sticking out and a hideous face.

[Name: Hanged Ghost

Features: scare you

Combat strength: 50]

A big hole was poked in the floor of the twelfth floor, and a huge ghost went directly from the top of the eleventh floor to the thirteenth floor, trapped in the hole and couldn't move.

[Name: Long Ghost

特点 : 大

Combat strength: 60]

The stairway on the fourteenth floor was blocked by a ghost. The ghost was strong and stabbed down with a trident: "Hey! I opened this building, and I planted this brick. If you want to live from now on, save your life." ..."

Wei Zhi: "Go back to the ghost world!"

[Name: Yasha

Features: cannibalism

Combat strength: 70]

Lin Xingzhou was dragged by someone and ran up to the seventh floor. He was already out of breath and almost fell off the edge of the stairs several times. At this moment, he was holding on to the wall wheezing and panting. The scalp is numb, and a fainting on the spot can be staged at any time.

"With your physical fitness," Wei Zhi kicked Yasha down the stairs, "It's really hard for you to survive to this day."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

After he managed to catch his breath, he quickly caught up with Wei Zhi who had already entered the fourteenth floor, only to see that he was holding a knife handle in his hand, with the outline of the blade vaguely showing, and his tone was obviously angry: "Go Where you should go."

Lin Xingzhou walked behind him and felt the temperature here suddenly rise. Even with the cool air from Wei Zhi, he could still feel the heat wave flowing around him.He looked up, and there was a woman standing by the window in the empty hall, with her back facing this way, her clothes fell down at her waist as if she didn't want to wear it properly, revealing a large part of her back.

The surrounding air became extremely dry, and every time I breathed in, I could feel my throat was on fire. Lin Xingzhou didn't dare to make a sound rashly, so he could only continue to shine the flashlight while glancing at the phone screen.

[Name: Hanba

Features: Walking like the wind, passing through thousands of miles of red land

Combat strength: 90]

[Yin air detection level: 9]

The woman—or Han Yan smiled softly: "The king of ghosts is here, and the little girl is too far away to welcome me. I am really ashamed."

"There is no need to talk so much nonsense between us," Wei Zhi said, "If you don't go where you are needed, what are you doing here?"

Han Yan turned around slowly, and Lin Xingzhou immediately turned his eyes away—although he often painted in front of nude models when he was in college, he was already able to take it calmly, but out of politeness, he still didn't want to keep staring at them, even if The other party is a ghost.

Hanba was leaning against the window, the sky outside was darker than before, and the remaining ray of light struggled to squeeze in through the window, casting a strange shadow on her body, Lin Xingzhou took another sneak peek, and had to admit This shape is still very suitable for an oil painting.

"I'll go if I need me, so I'll lose face," Han Yan said unhurriedly, "Human beings are such ungrateful things, thanks to you, Lord Ghost King, who attach so much importance to them, if there is a drought, you will blame me. Kill me to vent my anger, but once there is waterlogging, she will cry and beg me to go over—whatever I am, I am not a machine that can be ordered around by them.”

Wei Zhi took another step forward: "Then you shouldn't stay here either."

"What's wrong with this place," said Han Yan, stretching out his hand and pointing out the window, "It used to be the residence of the ghost king, but it's a pity that you have sealed it, we can't get in, so we can only rub the ghost king's Yin Qi around, anyway This building has also been abandoned by humans, so why not leave it to us?"

"Shut up," Wei Zhi tightened his grip on the knife, "Humans abandoned this place because of you. Don't confuse black and white."

Hanba spread his hands indifferently: "This has nothing to do with me. I only came here a month ago. It's nothing unusual for those little devils to always jump out to make trouble and frighten people. .”

As soon as Wei Zhi made a move, Han Yan looked at him again: "Lord Ghost King, with all due respect, you are the one who should 'go back' the most. You have been in the world for dozens of years and never thought of leaving. Excuse me—have you brought happiness to mankind? ? I heard that you don't seem to be doing well, after all, there was such a big incident back then..."

"Enough!" Wei Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body tensed up instantly. Lin Xingzhou was even forced to take a step back by the pressure emanating from him. The man seemed to have been touched by something that must never be mentioned. The domain turned into a hedgehog with its thorns erected, "I'll say it again, get out of here, go where you should go, don't force me to do it."

"Hey..." Han Yan sighed softly, "Why are you so fierce. Well, well, who told me to beat you, you are so strong, but you still want to get mixed up with humans, I really don't know what you are What do you think?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to support the window, and said with great regret: "I really don't want to leave..."

She said that she didn't want to leave, but her body jumped out of the window very honestly: "Then, there will be no end."

"...Is this done?" Lin Xingzhou blinked, thinking that this five-star mission was too simple, but then he thought about the six-star ghost king, and he was indeed invincible.

If it was only him...it would be difficult for him to see Han Yan's dignity.

So he put his hips on his hips and took a breath, and finally felt that the air was not so hot that it burned his throat, and said to Wei Zhi: "Can we go now?"

Hearing his voice, Wei Zhi suddenly froze, as if some switch had been touched, the tight lines loosened little by little, and he slowly lowered his hand holding the knife: "No, we're going up."

"Go up?" Lin Xingzhou didn't react, "Didn't the Hanba have already left, go up...where?"

Wei Zhi breathed out lightly: "Han Ba ​​is indeed gone, but her influence is still there. If the drought subsides on its own, there may be no rain this year."

"What should I do?"

"You come with me."

The two walked upstairs again, and this time they finally didn't encounter any more ghosts, and they went all the way to the [-]th floor without hindrance, but Wei Zhi still wanted to go up.

The building was still a half-finished product, and the stairwell leading to the roof was not blocked. The staircase seemed to have been subjected to some external force, and a big hole was smashed in the middle. The entire staircase was almost broken in two, and it seemed impassable.Wei Zhi glanced up, then grabbed Lin Xingzhou's arm with one hand, and clasped his waist with the other. The latter felt his waist tighten, his body lighten, his eyes blurred, and when he regained consciousness, he was already on the rooftop .

At this time, the sun had already set, and there were only a few sporadic afterglows still fighting in the corner.There wasn't even a protective fence on the roof. Lin Xingzhou didn't want to experience the thrill of free fall, so he didn't dare to go to the side, and kicked a stone away: "What are we doing here?"

"Show the rain."

"Show... the rain?" Lin Xingzhou almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at him with confusion, "You ghost king is also a part-time mage?"

"It's not me, it's you."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."
