Chapter 606: Yuan Devouring Ghost

"Eating Yuan ghost?"

Luo Jun opened the case file with doubts. After the table of contents, the first item was a basic situation report on the Yuan-devouring Ghost, as well as a timeline of the main cases involved.

According to the situation report, this Yuan-devouring Ghost first appeared in a special case forty years ago, causing one death.

The reason why this case is special is that the victim at that time was not an ordinary person, but a Qi practitioner!
According to the introduction, the main ability of the Yuan-devouring Ghost is to devour the host's vitality to strengthen itself, which is also the origin of its name. Therefore, unlike ordinary ghosts, which mainly target weak ordinary people, the victims of Yuan-devouring Ghost cases are almost all cultivators with vitality. In addition to folk cultivators, there are also some masters of supernatural response... Luo Jun even saw a teacher from Puhua University in the list of victims... This shows that there are also explorers who died at the hands of Yuan-devouring Ghosts.

"A very powerful ghost..." Luo Jun frowned slightly, but what does this have to do with Yin Xiaoyu? According to Azhe's speculation, Yin Xiaoyu's ability should come from a fierce ghost that can summon other ghosts...

Luo Jun continued to read and found that the last time the Yuan-devouring Ghost appeared was in Santu City four and a half years ago. Luo Jun turned directly to the end of the case file and saw the detailed record of this last appearance.

At that time, the Yuan-devouring Ghost possessed the captain of the supernatural response department in Santu City. The main ability of this captain was to summon a large number of ghosts to help fight!
According to past experience, as long as the host is still alive, the Yuan-devouring Ghost can exert the host's abilities by controlling the body. Because the ability to summon ghosts is too difficult to deal with, if left unchecked, it is likely to cause greater casualties. In the end, the Supernatural Response Department issued an order to no longer care about the host's life and to kill the Yuan-devouring Ghost with all their strength!
This order was initially opposed by many people, especially the members of the Supernatural Response Department of Sandu City. However, seeing that the host's vitality and energy were being continuously devoured and drained away, he would eventually die. The Yuan-devouring Ghost was becoming more and more powerful. Once he completely drained the host dry, he might become a super monster that no one on the scene could resist. In the end, everyone hardened their hearts and tried their best to kill the host!
But in the end, I don’t know if it was because the delay was too long, which caused the Yuan-devouring Ghost to evolve. After the host died, only the spirit of the Yuan-devouring Ghost was left, but it was still able to use that powerful summoning ability!
The people, who had tried their best to kill the host, were almost unable to resist the counterattack of the Yuan-devouring Ghost. More people were about to be killed or even devoured. At this time, a Taoist priest from Liangyi Mountain arrived!
Relying on his profound cultivation and the magic weapon bestowed by the old master, the Taoist priest successfully defeated the Yuan-devouring Ghost and subdued him and handed him over to the Supernatural Response Department. Since then, the Yuan-devouring Ghost has been sealed in the basement of the Supernatural Response Department in Santu City, in a cell specially designed for spirits.

"It seems that it is the ghost that Ah Zhe said..." Luo Jun nodded. In the detailed records, there are not only texts, but also some photos of the time. From a distance, it can be seen that the Yuan-devouring Ghost is in a state of black and red. Luo Jun has heard that a powerful ghost will evolve into a blood-clothed ghost, and become a red-clothed ghost, but a powerful red-clothed ghost will evolve into a black gas that wraps the whole body, just like the monster incarnated by Hades that he and Ling Yao dealt with before!
This Yuan-devouring Ghost was black and red, and it must have reached the transition stage. Luo Jun estimated that with the support of a physical entity, it was at least at the peak level. No wonder so many masters of the Supernatural Response Department couldn't deal with it...

So, could it be that the captain of Naihe City always goes to Santu City because of the Yuan-devouring ghost imprisoned there? Considering Yin Xiaoyu's unconscious ability to attract ghosts, could it be that the Supernatural Response Department... no, is it some kind of experiment secretly conducted by the captain?

Luo Jun thought this guess was very likely, but why Yin Xiaoyu? You can't just pick any girl for this kind of experiment, right? Moreover, the Fifth High School is a long way from the headquarters of the Supernatural Response Department, so it's not easy to keep track of the progress of the experiment. Moreover, Yin Xiaoyu is a girl with both parents and a happy family. Compared to this kind of girl who has people to care about her, shouldn't it be more convenient to use someone who is helpless and no one will care about her even if she dies?

While guessing, Luo Jun took out the miniature camera that he had used in the endless maze before. He had limited time to look at the information. Instead of reading it carefully here, he might as well take a picture of every page and study it slowly when he had time.

He took pictures while turning the pages. When he was almost done, his hand suddenly stopped at the record of the first appearance of the Yuan-devouring Ghost forty years ago.

What attracted Luo Jun was not the recorded text, but the two photos above.

The first time the Yuan-devouring Ghost appeared, it possessed a young girl. According to subsequent investigations, this girl was born with extremely high spirituality. She must have accidentally obtained the method of cultivating Yuan Qi and became a casual cultivator. However, she was eventually targeted by the Yuan-devouring Ghost and became the first victim.

The two photos, one is the girl's body after death, and the other is a frontal photo of a young boy who killed the girl... According to records, the boy is the girl's younger brother. After the girl was possessed by the Yuan-devouring Ghost, she went berserk and killed her parents at home. The girl regained her sanity at the last moment, and her younger brother took the opportunity to kill the girl, ending the Yuan-devouring Ghost's brutality.

The reason why these two photos attracted Luo Jun was that the girl's body looked too familiar, exactly like the red-clothed evil ghost A Fei that he had just subdued!
Although her younger brother was decades younger, his eyes and brows reminded Luo Jun of someone.

He looked at the names of the brother and sister in the records.

Korea Philippines, Korea Li!
The chief captain of Huangquan City's Supernatural Response Department, the guy who died from laughing wildly in the conference room of Puhua University and pulled everyone around him into an illusion, was actually the only survivor of the first Yuan-devouring Ghost incident?
What shocked him even more was that A Fei was actually Han Guofei, the first victim of the Yuan-devouring Ghost!
Surprised, Luo Jun immediately communicated with A Fei and passed on the information he saw to her. However, after A Fei saw the records and photos about the Yuan-devouring Ghost, her emotions became extremely unstable. Not only did she not recall more information, but she also had a tendency to run away. In desperation, Luo Jun could only use his master's authority to suppress her first...

Just then, a cough was heard in the earphones, obviously it was Azhe reminding him to leave as soon as possible.

The photos were almost taken, and Luo Jun immediately put the case file back to its original place, cleaned up the scene, and took away the hair he used to activate the dice, and then took the opportunity to leave the office.

After getting what he wanted, Luo Jun contacted Lilith again and asked her to take Yin Xiaoyu to places with more cameras. Soon, the dispatch department found Yin Xiaoyu's whereabouts. Azhe immediately notified Luo Jun and asked him to continue tracking and protecting the target.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Jun left the base openly, walked to a blind spot of surveillance and met He Zihua controlled by A Fei, then used the cloak to enter invisible state, and followed A Fei to Yin Xiaoyu's location.

In this way, under the monitoring of the dispatch department, only He Zihua was in action, and if Azhe used the intercom to contact He Zihua, Luo Jun could also answer at any time, so it seemed that He Zihua was performing his tasks normally.

Of course, Luo Jun did not intend to keep this burden with him. After seeing Yin Xiaoyu, Lilith immediately attacked He Zihua, while A Fei controlled He Zihua and started a "fierce" and short battle with Lilith. During the battle, the intercom facilities were destroyed and He Zihua was knocked unconscious. Afterwards, Lilith took Yin Xiaoyu into stealth mode and left, leaving only the unconscious He Zihua at the scene.

As for when He Zihua would wake up, and how he would refute what he had done at the base after waking up, that was not what Luo Jun needed to care about. He was more concerned about how to spend the night tonight... Although he didn't care, Yin Xiaoyu was an ordinary person after all, and she still needed to rest.

In the southern suburbs of Naihe City, there is the Spring Shoe Factory.

This used to be a well-known local enterprise, and the leather shoes it produced were very popular. But more than a decade ago, the owner of the factory and his family died mysteriously, and the land and the factory were inherited by a distant relative of the owner. This relative had been doing business outside for many years and had no time to manage the factory, so he wanted to sell it off. At first, many people were interested in buying it, but when they saw the site, they found that it was haunted, so they never sold it, and over time, it became abandoned.

"So, why are you scaring people for no reason?"

In the corner of the factory, under Lilith's scolding, several ghosts knelt on the ground in a row, bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes. Although they have already shown signs of ghost transformation, they still retain most of their human characteristics and are very intelligent. They should be considered to be in the transition stage from spirits to ghosts. "We are also reluctant to let the factory fall into the hands of others..." The ghost of the factory director said, "When the factory was booming, I died in an unclear way. How can I be willing to accept it?"

Luo Jun came up and asked curiously, "How did you die?"

"Let me start..." The factory director sighed, "I was taking a walk in the factory after lunch. Who would have thought that when I was walking back to the building, I was suddenly hit to death by a wardrobe that fell from the sky... This must be someone's deliberate murder for money!"

As he spoke, the dark aura around him became even heavier.

"I died in an unclear way." The factory director's son said: "My sister and I were playing hide-and-seek that day. I saw a brand new wardrobe on the first floor, so I went in. I fell asleep and when I woke up, I was dead..."

“My death was even more tragic!” said the factory director’s daughter. “I couldn’t find my brother while playing hide-and-seek that day, and I thought he was hiding on the iron frame outside the balcony on the third floor like before. As a result, when I climbed out to look for him, I accidentally fell down. I screamed in fright. Fortunately, I was hanging on the frame outside the second-floor window, but before I could react, I was knocked down by something I don’t know…”

"Stop talking, I'm the one who got wronged the most!" The factory director's wife cursed, "The other day, I moved the newly bought wardrobe to the second floor with the workers. We wanted to replace the old one, so we wanted to put it on the open balcony temporarily. But before we put it down firmly, something suddenly fell from the upstairs, and it made a ghostly sound. I was so scared that I slipped, and both I and the wardrobe fell off the balcony..."

At this point, the family of four seemed to realize something and looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Luo Jun looked at them with a dark face: "I say, you have been dead for more than ten years, and you haven't reconciled the accounts or anything?"

As soon as the words fell, the four of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, then the resentment dissipated and the figures slowly faded away.

"Oh, don't waste it, don't waste it..."

Luo Jun hurriedly took out the Huiyuan Ding and collected the remaining energy. Even a mosquito leg is still meat.

"Okay, this place is not haunted anymore." Luo Jun walked to Yin Xiaoyu's side and said, "Let's deal with it for one night. This place is far from the city, and the Paranormal Response Department probably won't be able to find it for a while."

Yin Xiaoyu nodded: "Are we really going to Santu City?"

"What else?" Luo Jun sighed, "Now it's basically clear that you are the guinea pig of the Supernatural Response Department, and you will attract a large number of evil spirits to you at any time. If you continue to stay at home, not only you, but also your parents will be in danger. If you want to solve this matter thoroughly, it's best to come with me to Santu City."

"But my parents are still in a coma at home..." Yin Xiaoyu was a little worried.

"Don't worry." Lilith comforted, "They just fell asleep and will wake up tomorrow. Didn't you leave a note for them?"

"The note just said that I have to leave for a few days and they don't need to worry..." Yin Xiaoyu buried her head in her knees: "With just a few words, how could they not worry? Can I give them a call?"

"No." Luo Jun shook his head and said, "The Paranormal Response Department will soon discover the anomaly and will naturally monitor your parents' phone calls. As long as you contact them, you will be targeted."

"Don't worry, I promise you that this matter will be resolved soon when we arrive in Santu City." Luo Jun said with a smile.

"It's not as simple as you say." Yin Xiaoyu frowned and said, "This place is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Santu City. According to what you said, we can't take a plane or a train. How long will it take to get there just by walking..."

"Well, we'll have a solution tomorrow. Just go to sleep first."

After much persuasion, Yin Xiaoyu finally fell asleep. Luo Jun came to the window and looked at the factory yard. Suddenly, he frowned.

Outside the courtyard wall, a huge black shadow covered with tentacles slowly walked in; from the gate not far away, a ghost with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a spider crawled in; on the other side, a strange man with an ordinary-looking body, wearing a suit and tie, but with a big hand on his neck passed through the wall.

"They are all evil spirits!" Luo Jun licked his lips greedily.

With his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take Yin Xiaoyu away from Naihe City, but he wanted to stay here for one night because he couldn't bear to leave these precious evil spirits.

The southern suburbs is the area with the most ghosts and the highest levels in Naihe City. If Yin Xiaoyu stays here for one night, it is estimated that half of the ghost world in Naihe City will be attracted here!
