I Wasn't Born Lucky

At the same moment when Xiao Li discovered the crack, more or less the same thing happened all over the world.

on a certain road.

A woman was fleeing desperately. The heavy rain overturned the umbrella she was holding, and the entire umbrella was overturned. The strong wind almost knocked her to the ground, and the raindrops rushed towards her, drenching her whole body. , her dyed brown hair stuck to her body, but she had no time to take care of it.

This is a main road in a big city, and there is a lot of traffic on weekdays, but at this time, due to the rain and the news, she is the only one on the whole road.

The businesses near the road have eaves, and some even have wide roofs, including the exit of the underground subway station, which can accommodate many people to temporarily avoid the rain, but this woman just buries her head and rushes forward without looking, as if there is something behind Unseen beasts were chasing her fiercely, more terrifying than a torrential rain.

And in fact, that is exactly the case, she is an ordinary person, not a reincarnation.

She was on a business trip, but was hindered by the heavy rain just after she came out of the airport, so she temporarily lived in a hotel near the airport.

The reason why I left the hotel in the heavy rain now was also because I was worried about my daughter who was stranded at home alone. I wanted to go back to take care of her early, but I saw a ghost on the way.

She spent ten times the taxi fare to find a car that was willing to take her in the rain, but just as she was driving to the elevated road, the driver frequently raised his head to look at the rearview mirror, and his movements were so frequent that she was alerted.

She also looked at the rearview mirror curiously. At first, she was blocked by the rain, so she couldn't see clearly, but after the driver asked, she saw a shadow.

It seemed to be a person.

I use "as if" to describe it because no human being can chase a high-speed taxi on the elevated road, and it gets closer and closer, so close that she can gradually see the outline of that "person".

The driver asked her in a panic: "You saw it too... right? Damn, I shouldn't be tempted for money. I didn't expect what the website said to be true... It's really haunted now!"

Before she could answer, the driver increased his horsepower, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and drove down the elevated highway at high speed, but the "people" behind him kept chasing after him.

Seeing that the ghost was about to catch up with her, the driver parked the car casually on the side of the road, left her and fled, and disappeared by the side of the road. As a passenger, she hurriedly chose the opposite direction , I want to find a place to shelter from the rain first.

But what she didn't expect was that the ghost didn't choose to chase the driver, but chose to follow her!

She was scared out of her wits immediately, her legs gave way, but she thought of her daughter at home, and felt that she couldn't die here, so she gritted her teeth and ran forward, looking back at the ghost from time to time.

The ghost followed her not too far or too close like a cat catching a mouse, as if enjoying the woman's fear, and finally rushed forward as if he was tired of playing!

"Ah—help! Help me!"

She screamed aloud, stayed where she could do nothing, and slammed her eyes shut.

The moment the ghost touched her, one hand grabbed her and pulled her to the back. At the same time, an invisible ball rolled down in front of the ghost, and the light gray smoke filled the air, covering the ghost. Ghostly sight.

It looked around for a while, but didn't find the woman's shadow, and wanted to leave, but was trapped in place by the smoke props.

The woman looked back in shock, and found two men and a woman standing behind her, and it was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who caught her.

"Are you okay?" the woman asked with concern.

The woman stammered: "No, nothing..."

The young man with gold-rimmed glasses stood in front of her, adjusted the mirror frame, checked the ghost in the smoke for a moment, then turned to his companion and said, "This tool can trap it for 5 minutes. There are really gaps nearby, but not many, only Two."

Another man said, "Try that method."

"Thank you so much, without you, I really don't know what to do." The woman just recovered a little, and said gratefully, "What do you call? When the rain stops, I, I treat you to a meal Bar."

The young man with gold-rimmed glasses said without turning his head: "You don't need to eat, it's easy. My name is Tianji, the other man's name is Jiang Yizhe, and the woman's name is Wu Tianyi."

Wu Tianyi said to the woman: "You are safe, go away."

The woman wanted to ask a lot, but Wu Tianyi's attitude was very tough, so she had to follow her words and leave.

Wu Tianyi sent the woman to the intersection before walking back.

Tianji took out a small light blue crystal from the inside pocket of his coat.

If Xiao Li were here, he would be able to recognize it at a glance. This is the fragment of chaotic power, but compared with the piece left over after the incident of the unknown female corpse, the one in Tianji's hand can only be regarded as "a drop", and its volume is only twenty. One-third, those who didn't know thought it was the kind of sequin rhinestone.

Tianji bypassed the trapped ghost, and approached the chaotic fragment in his hand to the edge of the crack that has become visible to the naked eye over time——

I saw that after approaching the crack, the crystal shattered into powder as if sucked by some force, and floated into the crack, and then the crack slowly healed, like a zipper was installed on an opening, until the crack disappeared completely. Nope, the sky returned to its previous state.

Tianji took a deep breath: "That guy Wang Huai is right. After solving the ghosts that appear in reality, there will be large or small fragments. Filling these chaotic power fragments into the cracks will close them."

"If there are enough closed gaps, it is equivalent to repairing the 'wellhead' with the power of chaotic fragments, which can continue to block gods such as Hades from the 'wellhead' and prevent reality from entering the copy."

Wu Tianyi's tone was full of unconcealable anxiety: "One crack is really a drop in the bucket. This is the one we got from solving a lot of ghosts. If we want to reach the level of being able to stop Hades, how many cracks do we need? Fragments of the whole world In addition, I don’t know if it’s enough, after all, there are still many ghost incidents that have not been resolved at all, and the fragments are still in the hands of the ghosts.”

Tianji browsed the phone silently. There was a WeChat group on the phone, which was a small group of reincarnators who could only enter after verification and guarantee to ensure that there were no people from the court.

Now this WeChat group is sharing the news that the reincarnators got the Chaos Fragments. Everyone contributed their own tiny power. Some people happily announced that they had "healed" one crack, and some "healed" two. At present, the most The record is five.

But at the same time, some fragments were collected by the referee.

They spread the ghost totems through various channels, causing the ghosts in reality to mutate, just like raising Gu, letting these mutated ghosts go out, causing trouble for the reincarnation, expanding the cracks, and killing some of the ghosts by themselves. Chaos shards, used to sacrifice to Hades.

Jiang Yi asked suddenly: "What's Sherlock's opinion?"

"There is no news yet..." Tianji said, "This is not in line with his style. I always feel that he is planning a big wave."

cloud province.

Wang Huai sat in the driver's seat and drove the car, the wheels rolling over the ditch.

He didn't have a specific destination. Originally, Xiao Li wanted him to drive to the train station, but after browsing the ticketing website, he found that even the train was out of service, so the car started to circle around the edge aimlessly.

Ye Zeqing originally saw Xiao Li not talking to the phone screen, thinking that he was thinking and didn't want to disturb him, but seeing the car spinning back and forth, he finally couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

"Check the route to City S." Xiao Li frowned slightly, he finally stopped looking at his phone, but stared at the front of the car window lost in thought.

"From here, to City S? Airplanes and trains are out of service, and cars will have to run for at least a few days. I don't know if the intercity expressway will work..." Ye Zeqing thought about it, and he asked again, "Why do you want to go? Going to City S? What's so special there?"

Xiao Li: "That's the source of the unknown female corpse's fragments of chaotic power."

Ye Zeqing hesitated to speak: "This...so?"

Xiao Li: "Since it is one of the places where the chaos is broken, there should be many cracks there, at least more than the unknown female corpse. I need to find a place with relatively many cracks."

Ye Zeqing stopped talking and wanted to: "That...why?"

Xiao Li didn't answer his question, he patted Wang Huai suddenly: "Drive over there."

The place he was referring to was a pier. There are various cruise ships, fishing boats and small boats on weekdays, but no one was around at this time, only the boats were docked by the pier.

Wang Huai originally planned to go around here, but when Xiao Li slapped him like this, he took another look at the other party, but he didn't ask anything, but just turned around and drove towards the pier.

The car sank into the sand by the pier, and the tires slipped. Wang Huai said "tsk" and said, "I have to go down and walk."

When they got out of the car, Shen Mizhi held the Eternal Soul Umbrella firmly and covered Xiao Li.

Everyone stood on the edge of the pier, one step away from the rolling waves.

The heavy rain submerged into the ocean, as if the Milky Way rolled down from nine days, the strong wind rolled up the big waves, the dark clouds in the distance pressed down, the sea and the sky lined up, and the end of the sea water poured into the end of the sky, it looked like the eve of the end of Atlantis.

The wind at the seaside was stronger than that in the urban area. Ye Zeqing felt that he was almost blown to the point where he couldn't breathe. If he wasn't heavy enough, he might be blown directly into the sky.

Before Ye Zeqing could speak again, Xiao Li blocked him with a question: "Is there a ship over there?"

Ye Zeqing squinted his eyes and saw nothing at first. He took out his mobile phone and used the camera function to zoom in continuously. After zooming in to the extreme, he found a small black spot, which looked like a ship. Its stern Facing the pier, with a strange cross totem engraved on the tail, it has sailed into the distance.

But in this weather, ordinary people would not let their boats into the sea at all. Even if they did, they would be swallowed by the sea.

"This is Tang Huaqing's boat." Wang Huai suddenly affirmed, "It's a kind of prop boat that can ignore the surrounding storms. He got it from a certain island world. I've seen its tail in a dungeon. It's this kind of ship. pattern."

Xiao Li pondered for a moment, then he looked at the sea again, but what he saw was not the ship sailing away, but another direction——

Over there, a dilapidated ghost ship is coming this way.

Between strong winds and heavy rains, it rides the wind and waves, sometimes stays high on the top of the waves, and sometimes is completely covered by the waves, like a ghostly ghost, but what remains unchanged is that it always floats smoothly on the sea.

The ghost ship finally stopped in front of Xiao Li. The ship's hull was sideways, and the skulls printed on the sails fluttered in the wind. Even though it was wet by the heavy rain, it still unfolded with a rustling sound.

Immediately, Captain Sturt's energetic voice came over: "Moriarty, get on board!"
