Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 162: Was it a false alarm?
Could it be that he didn't escape from the Xishan ruins, but had been lying dormant six years ago?
Qiao Ji and Yang Chengrong couldn't help but have this thought.
After all, the garrison troops of the Xishan Ruins checked it several times and confirmed that the seal of the ruins was not damaged. The area was so small that it could be seen at a glance. How could anyone get out?
If it had not been dormant six years ago, then it could only be that the ruins had other entrances and exits.
"Once we find the mastermind behind this, everything will become clear."
This is what Yang Chengrong thought and told his teammates so.
The material of the yellow talisman paper is, as expected, special leather, but it is made like paper, only with a smoother texture, tougher material, and is not afraid of water.
After urgent interrogation, it was determined that the mastermind behind the production of these products was a supplier upstream in a village near the Xishan ruins.
This news made the leaders of the Xishan garrison a little uneasy. How could it be so close?
Is it really our fault? But everything is normal after checking!
After getting the exact location, Qiao Ji immediately switched the camera over there. When he looked, he saw that nearly half of the people in the village had blue-gray skin.
But there were still no heavyweights to be seen, not even people at the level of the previous evil spirit generals and evil spirit adjutants. It seemed that they were all human-level trash.
Isn't even this place their lair?
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. How many burrows do they have?
Qiao Ji took back what he had said before about underestimating them. He said that they were still quite capable and very cautious.
However, Qiao Ji also had a doubt. There were actually living people with normal heartbeat and breathing living here together with those evil spirits.
Why do they live together? Are the living people the material to be raised?
Qiao Ji couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
But it doesn’t look like it either.
When Qiao Ji used his clairvoyance to spy, he also saw a living person driving a truck, pulling a few live pigs over, talking to the evil spirit for a few words, and then happily counting the money, unloading the goods and leaving.
The pig was slaughtered and the meat was divided. A group of corpses gathered around the table and feasted on the raw meat in the bowl. There were living people next to them who were processing the ingredients and taking them back to cook.
Everyone eats their own food and it doesn't affect each other at all.
"Humans and ghosts collude with each other?"
Seeing this, Qiao Ji couldn't help but come to this conclusion.
"What ghost?"
Lin Mengfu, who was standing next to him, asked after hearing this, "Are you talking about Ghost? I think that movie is pretty good, and I want to watch it again when I have time."
"Is it really nice? What kind?"
Qiao Ji is also a movie lover. After coming to this world, he took time to watch a lot of movies, all of which he had never seen before. He was very happy.
"Something about love."
"love?"
"Yes, although there are ghosts, they are not scary at all. They are basically good people. They teach the hero how to meet the heroine again. It's very touching."
"Well, I'll go check it out when I have time."
"You can watch it on your phone during lunch break..."
Lin Mengfu originally wanted to say that she could look at it with Qiao Ji during lunch break, but suddenly remembered that they had to go house hunting at noon.
Then it will have to be next time.
Qiao Ji always took time to pay attention to Yang Chengrong.
However, their efficiency was naturally slower than Qiao Ji's clairvoyance. They had just arrived, so Qiao Ji talked to Lin Mengfu for a while.
After arriving, the psychic immediately scanned the entire village.
"Seventeen human-level psychics, no Xuan-level ones found, but there are quite a few ordinary people who get along well with the target and are not hostages."
Yang Chengrong was not surprised. It was profitable and people could be transformed into evil ghosts. He had seen many similar things.
"Control everyone in the village immediately."
"receive."
The possessor of enhanced superpowers assisted the psychic superpowers. The superpowers were exerted to cover the entire village and suppress the thinking of everyone, making them stand still in a trance.
The subsequent personnel control was standard procedure and no obstacles were encountered.
The psychic interrogator soon got a surprising answer.
"Who is your superior?"
"We... don't have... superiors..."
After being suppressed by mental force, his thinking became difficult and he became confused and could only passively answer other people's questions.
"Where did you get the method of making the Painting Fairy?"
"Well...well..."
"Which well?"
"There is a bone in the dry well west of the village... The bone can talk... It teaches us how to make money... It teaches us... to achieve immortality... All the elders in the village... have learned it..."
Yang Chengrong, who was listening in, immediately asked someone to take control of the well and then report to the headquarters.
"…This is the situation. The psychic ability user reported that there is a powerful but weak soul inside. I request that an earth-level ability user be dispatched to handle it."
Soon, a helicopter arrived.
A man wearing black armor and holding a demon-destroying mace that was familiar to Qiao Ji got off the plane and jumped into the well.
Then, he jumped out with half a skull.
The skull was broken, but it looked like it was made of gold, with just a little green rust.
“Is this a ghost king-level head?”
Yang Chengrong communicated with the earth-level psychic who was wearing armor and holding a mace and going down the well.
“Yes, it should be the fish that slipped through the net six years ago. There was a layout on the wall of the well that made it impossible for people to detect it. It was destroyed recently.
It was seriously injured and must have been dormant until recently. Judging from its condition, it should not be able to recover. I didn't expect it to transform into a ghoul and ghost soldier here, and even teach the art of sealing the soul."
"So, the Xishan ruins are fine?"
"They'll probably scold you."
Yang Chengrong smiled, and he felt a little more relaxed. "Go ahead and scold me."
It's better to scold him a few times than to get into trouble.
The man in armor did not take off his armor. He put half of the skull in a container and immediately left by helicopter.
Yang Chengrong directed the scene and took the people away.
Some of the people here have been converted and it is very difficult to deal with them.
This is not the original sin seeds of the original sin faction. It is hot-swappable and can be used immediately after installation. There is no problem when you take it out.
There is currently no way to reverse their transformation, and in a sense, they are no longer human.
Soon, another good news came.
" Our and checked it. It is indeed the one that slipped through the net six years ago. It was the one who transformed and taught the soul-sealing technique. It was not the seal of the Xishan ruins that was leaked. Bring everyone back and do the aftermath work."
After hearing this, Yang Chengrong quickly told everyone .
Lin Weimin and other old people who had experienced the incident six years ago breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a false alarm and nothing happened to the ruins.
They found a fish that had slipped through the net and removed it.
But was this really just a false alarm?
