A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 36 My second strange story?

"Yes." Sister Shui set up the sniper rifle and took out a scope from her bag and threw it over. "The elevated road to the east."

She pressed her eyes to the scope and gradually slowed her breathing.

Zhong Xie took the scope, understood what she meant, and also used the scope to look for the viaduct she mentioned.

An ordinary van was driving on the elevated road, blending into the traffic.

It may not be visible while sitting in the car, but Zhong Xie now has a nearly God's perspective and can easily find that there are eight cars around the van traveling at the same speed, protecting the van in the middle.

Is it the bodyguard of the van?
wrong.

Zhong Xie rejected this answer in his heart.

If the van is really transporting some important target or valuables, then the purpose of choosing a van is to conceal it and minimize attention.

In this case, why bother with vehicle escort? Why not just choose a military explosion-proof vehicle?

Therefore, the eight surrounding vehicles were not in the same group as this van.

Is it the car driven by a "friend"?
When Zhong Xie made this judgment, the vehicle in the camera changed rapidly, blocking the front of the van and blocking its way.

The driver of the van also realized something was wrong, and without stopping, he turned the steering wheel and crashed straight into the two cars blocking the road, forcing a path through them.

However, just as the van ran out of the encirclement and was about to speed up and leave, gunshots were heard.

"boom--"

As the gunshots reached my ears, the wheels of the van exploded and the vehicle was forced to stop by this sudden attack.

It was followed by an even more violent explosion, and four people jumped out from the flames. Three of them surrounded the man in prison uniforms, who was handcuffed and shackled in the middle of the road.

In an instant, more than a dozen strange creatures with all kinds of attributes appeared in Zhong Xie's field of vision, and various restrictive moves were immediately performed.

Dozens of energy chains appeared out of nowhere and tightly wrapped around the man in prison uniform. Four strange mechanical creatures raised their hands and set up four light blue screens to block the man in the middle.

The surging data stream surrounded the man in a solid form, restricting his movements.

"Hey, I'm coming out."

The man in prison uniform chuckled and jumped out of the barrier, ignoring the chains on his body. Instead, the strange creatures kept backing away as if they were under tremendous pressure.

Wait, why can I hear sounds?
Zhong Xie was stunned for a moment and began to look for the source of the sound. Then he saw a miniature human face on Sister Shui's wrist, which looked exactly like the man in prison uniform on the elevated platform.

Little genius children's phone watch!
This idea was actually taken by someone else first!

Well, it’s normal for others to use the core technology first since they have mastered it.

So the man in prison uniform used the Little Tiancai phone watch to communicate with Sister Shui, right?
"Since you're out, I'm leaving." Sister Shui said calmly to the man on her wrist, and then prepared to pack up and leave.

The man in prison uniform on his wrist quickly stopped Sister Shui: "One more thing, there is a suppressor in my brain, help me get rid of it."

Upon hearing this, Sister Shui pulled the trigger again: "Two shots, 40."

In the camera, the head of the man in prison uniform exploded like a watermelon, and red, white and yellow things floated in the air, but at this moment it seemed to stop.

Zhong Xie clearly saw that there was a sophisticated mechanical device hidden in the shattered brain, but this device was immediately shattered by the 12.7mm caliber bullet.

The man's body slowly fell down, and at the same time he snapped his fingers lightly.

The shattered head that had not yet hit the ground began to reassemble itself, and in a moment it returned to the appearance of a man.

The next second, countless slender black spikes grew out from the road surface, lifting up the strange creatures around him. After each strange creature was pierced, it lost all movement for a short period of time.

The man in prison uniform walked lightly past the three ghost story masters who were stiff and dared not move. He did not even look at them, nor did he make any move to attack them.

Then he trotted to the eight cars that had previously surrounded the van, nodded and bowed, took out something like a card from his pocket and handed it to the driver, as if he was giving a cigarette to a friend who came to help.

After completing this task, he jumped down from the ledge.

The prison uniform rustled and flipped up as it fell, completely wrapping up the man's head. The head and the uniform turned into a black ribbon and floated in the air, leaving behind only a headless male corpse that fell from a high altitude and shattered into pieces on the ground.

At the same time, the man's face emerged from A Shui's wrist, and soon his flesh and blood reorganized to grow into a human form, even his clothes were complete.

He quickly pointed at the paper object that looked like banknotes in his hand, counted out 40 pieces and handed them to Sister Shui.

Then the man noticed Zhong Xie's presence and took out five more and stuffed them into Zhong Xie's pocket.

"I did not do anything."

Zhong Xie took out the special banknotes from his pocket and said this, but he had no intention of returning it. Instead, he began to study the mystery of it.

It is black all over, as thin as paper, but extremely tough and cannot be torn no matter what.

"It's okay. Everyone who sees Crazy Tuesday gets a share." The man said cheerfully, winking playfully, "Say thank you."

Zhong Xie looked at the man with expectant eyes and said "thank you" without hesitation.

Are you kidding? Sister Shui only gets 40 tickets for one job, but she can get 5 tickets by just saying thank you. You must be Ren Xiaosu who wants to collect thank-you coins, right?

At this time, Zhong Xie also began to look at the man's appearance. He was about thirty years old, with an angular face and deep eyes. He looked a bit like Aaron Kwok.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look like Aaron Kwok?" Zhong Xie was curious.

The man suddenly looked serious, and made a classic Aaron Kwok movie move, then laughed: "You are not the first one to say this, but fortunately it is not exactly the same, otherwise Ah Shui would have a hard time finding me."

Otherwise, the real Aaron Kwok will be summoned on your wrist.

"Their people will be here soon. I don't want to cause any more trouble, so let them take the responsibility." Ah Shui disassembled the gun into parts and put them in the guitar case, then took out his circle of friends and sent some texts, "Let's go, I'll ask my friends to help delete the surveillance records."

"Little brother, let me ask you something. How do I use this thing?"

Zhong Xie shook the black ticket in his hand. He noticed that there seemed to be some words on it. In the light of the setting sun, he could faintly see the three words "Indulgence".

Indulgence?
Is this something that has the same origin as the term [Death Redemption Certificate]?

"Indulgence. There is an island in the east sea. The whole island is covered by the super-large ghost story event 'Sin Domain'. You need this thing to get in or out." The man explained, "Keep it. You will definitely need it in the future."

Later?
Zhong Xie found it interesting. Does this mean that the man in front of him may be mediocre at the moment, but has great potential?

It's a pity that I don't believe Kuster that much. The super large copy "Sin Domain", the capsule [Sin and Punishment] probably came from it, right?
The name sounds like a seven deadly sins-type horror story, which is a really old-fashioned setting.

Hopefully there will be some new work waiting for me when I get to the island.

The man walked in front: "Don't stop me this time. Those people in QQ Space are too much. I will definitely retaliate."

"Well, don't involve us. This is the limit of what I can do today. I will hide away from the limelight during this period of time." Sister Shui nodded slightly, acquiescing to the man's attitude.

"QQ space?" Zhong Xie scratched his head. "Is it a hostile organization in the friend circle?"

Sister Shui did not hesitate: "A bunch of despicable imitators."

Okay, the battle between Moments and QQ Space, I can only say that this world is more fantastic than you can imagine.

When Ah Shui mentioned this organization, she was obviously not so calm. Her tone was calm, but her words were full of thorns: "You must be careful of all links of unknown origin. You must not 'click' in any form, otherwise you will be pulled into the group of the linked QQ space, and you will be haunted by strange stories."

She sneered and said, "Being entangled by that transvestite group owner who likes to dress up as a cat girl and the perverted administrator who likes to tell dirty jokes."

Zhong Xie closed his mouth tightly and held back the words.

It actually sounds pretty good.

"That group of guys have always been interested in my real-life friends. You'd better not appear in their field of vision." Sister Shui kindly reminded again, and then pointed to the man in front of Zhong Xie, "He was arrested because he clicked on the red envelope link of Crazy Thursday V50."

Zhong Xie suddenly realized and once again raised his awareness of preventing online fraud.

It seems that this "Thank you brother" is the same as his identity, a real friend of Sister Shui, not a friend who was created by the personality like Xiaoshui before.

The group owner of QQ Space is not interested in virtual human accounts like Xiaoshui, but is interested in real people like them.

I understand. It must be because the number of QQ users has decreased and the KPI cannot be achieved, so they started to recruit people to attract traffic.

Zhong Xie was secretly alert. He knew that Sister Shui didn't want to be too ostentatious. She just wanted to lurk in the dark side of human cities without being discovered by any outsiders.

However, QQ Space doesn't seem to be like this. They started a passionate battle on the elevated road without any concealment. It is estimated that they will be hit by a heavy fist after today.

The three of them didn't chat for long as they all had their own things to do, so they left separately after getting out of the elevator.

Zhong Xie returned to the car and told Lin Youlan: "Don't click on random links in the future. I saw a man who was arrested for clicking on random links. He just escaped. You will probably see related reports when you watch the news tonight."

"Are you here to watch the fun?" Lin Youlan was puzzled.

"Almost." Zhong Xie nodded. "There is a battle going on in the east with the Ghost Story Envoy, but it's over now. Let's go."

"It's too late to go to the hospital. Lao Qin said that the special forces' helicopter will soon arrive at the school. Now is just the right time for us to go back. We need to go to Wangcheng overnight." Lin Youlan started the car and set off.

Zhong Xie took out his cell phone, and Qin Mian had indeed sent him a message. It seemed that the situation had changed, and the special forces would enter Wangcheng tonight.

When the two returned to school and came to Qin Mian's office, the special operations team leader was already waiting there.

He looked at Qin Mian and asked, "Is this the guide I want and the strange envoy you mentioned who needs to climb the stairs?"

"Yes, but I didn't expect that your mission this time was somewhat urgent. I guess she shouldn't bother you?" Lao Qin hesitated.

The special forces captain smiled cheerfully, "We are all from the fortress anyway, why would we say such things when we are so familiar with each other? Besides, the area where the team disappeared is outside Wangcheng, which is a relatively safe area where the preliminary search has been completed. They should just be involved in some strange incident. We can just go there tonight to check out the situation."

"Okay." Qin Mian nodded. He didn't like to cause trouble for others, but since his old classmates said so, there shouldn't be any big problem.

Next, under the captain's guidance, Zhong Xie hand-drew a map of the area around Black Goat's home and marked several locations according to his memory, easily gaining the captain's trust.

They also had maps in their hands, and by comparing them they could see that Zhong Xie was indeed capable of serving as a guide.

"This mission will take about four or five days. We will ensure your safety during the mission." The special operations team leader said, "As for the reward, we will help you obtain a ghost story egg of no less than black quality in Wangcheng, and give you two redemption cards with black entries."

Black weird egg and two entries?

Such a generous reward?
Zhong Xie was surprised. The abnormal situation made his mind work rapidly and he got the answer instantly -

The second weird story.

By the way, the official whereabouts of the second strange story are still unknown, so this special forces team must still have tasks related to the second strange story.

Zhong Xie felt relieved. He was not worried that they could find Kuster. The attributes of the second ghost story were consistent with the root ghost story, so what they were looking for was a ghost story egg of the rule system. What did it have to do with the giant system Kuster?

It seems that this special forces team will not go deep into Wangcheng.

The second strange story is the creature that is most closely related to the root strange story, and the closer the relationship is, the greater the impact it will be after the black goat leaves, and the more severely it will be weakened.

Therefore, the search for the second strange story is to look for it in the low-level areas on the periphery. On the contrary, it is impossible for the second strange story to exist in those terrible areas deep in Wangcheng.

This is contrary to the common thinking.

"Okay, what are the specific task instructions?" Zhong Xie had no reason to refuse.

The ghost egg in the reward made him inexplicably excited, and he felt like he was about to set out to catch a second Pokémon.

"You will get a detailed description when we get to the human camp in Wangcheng." The special operations team leader took out a more detailed map and handed it to Zhong Xie: "This is the original detailed map of Wangcheng. The area around the human camp is basically marked. You can fill in as much information as possible according to your memory. It will help our mission."

Zhong Xie glanced at the map, which showed every alley in Wangcheng, but the situation on the map only represented the area's appearance before it fell, and the human camp occupied a space at the bottom of the map.

The blue dots represent "obtained ghost eggs", about thirty to forty of them; the black dots represent "eliminated ghosts", about twenty to thirty of them.

The red area represents the "potential ghost story activity area" and the light green area represents the "temporary safe area".

The red and green areas basically cover the human camp and the surrounding areas of the black goat's home, occupying about 30% of the entire map.

The map told Zhong Xie in the most intuitive way that the current level of human exploration of Wangcheng was around 30%, and in the light green painted area of the Black Goat's home, Zhong Xie also saw a special hollow circle.

[A death occurred in the basement of this area. The deceased was a man. The strange story of "fried corpse" fled north with a fried and pickled corpse. His whereabouts have not been found yet. ]

Exploding corpse?

This guy hasn't been killed yet?

Zhong Xie was in awe and prayed devoutly for him.

Mr. Corpse Explosion, you deserve a better tomorrow, you must live a good life!
　Emmm, the second ghost story should be even more outrageous. The subsequent ghost stories will not have a strong sense of self-awareness like Kuster. After all, there is only one Kuster with a kind personality.
