Mysterious Resurrection: Becoming a God Starting from a Ghost Post Office
Chapter 26 Unsuppressible
"What changes do you notice in Luoshan Village between day and night?" Sun Rui asked the three of them.
Zhong Hang and his companion were not from Luoshan Village, and they couldn't think of an answer for the time being.
Qin Qiuyun, on the other hand, hesitated to speak, and Sun Rui noticed her expression.
"Tell me, the only way for us to survive is to figure out the changes between day and night."
"It's very cool in Luoshan Village at night... I don't know if this counts," Qin Qiuyun said from the side.
She feels very hot at night, which is one of the reasons she often goes out at night. She doesn't need to turn on the air conditioner, which saves her money. She goes back to sleep when it cools down.
"Temperature? That's possible." Sun Rui nodded. If it really was temperature, then the disruption of the balance earlier could be explained.
The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If it was temperature, then the higher the temperature, the stronger the supernatural power of the burning ghost. During the day, the ghosts in the village could maintain a balance. At night, when the temperature dropped, the supernatural power of the burning ghost weakened, and at that time, it could not suppress the ghost haze, which is when the thick fog appeared.
But here's a question: are there really only two ghosts in the village?
Blood... smog... burned ghosts... Sun Rui suddenly understood something.
"You'll stay here and not go out; secondly, supervise each other and don't sleep," Sun Rui said.
He now needs to investigate the extent of the fire to prepare for subsequent actions.
"We're pretty sure the target is inside the well now. All we have to do is send the letter down. But the supernatural flames might burn the letter, and then we'll have to endure an attack from a vengeful ghost." Sun Rui pondered as he walked down the road.
If the letter hadn't been placed in a gold body bag, it would have been destroyed at the wellhead.
As Sun Rui walked along the road, screams echoed throughout the village. Many villagers had been scalded, but ordinary water could not alleviate their pain at all.
"I just don't know what the pattern of killing this burning ghost is..."
The situation was too sudden, and there was no time to observe, but Sun Rui still had a general idea in mind that it might also be related to temperature, such as body temperature.
However, there is certainly no way to prove this question, and no one can answer it.
Sun Rui stood in one spot, not moving any closer. This was the limit of the flames that the Burning Ghost could affect; he could only feel a slight heat wave, which he could still tolerate.
"This place is at least 30 meters away from the fire. I can't even imagine how many supernatural events it could have caused outside if this ghost hadn't been suppressed," Sun Rui sighed.
According to his observation, the fire started near the well and spread to cover most of the village. Although the houses were on fire, there were no signs of them being burned; they were just blackened and smelled of corpses.
It was as if only people were burned to death, while the dead objects were only slightly affected.
Some villagers tried to put out the fire, but unexpectedly, when water was poured on it, the fire burned even more fiercely.
"If flames formed by supernatural forces can be extinguished with ordinary water, then things will be simple."
The flames continued to burn, and the villagers, realizing that the fire could not be extinguished, fled out of the village.
But Sun Rui understood that the area far beyond Luoshan Village was also affected by the power of the evil spirits. Could these people really escape?
"If it keeps burning like this, who knows how long it will last? We'll have to use our power to try it out." Sun Rui's cough had a slight effect in suppressing the evil spirits, but he didn't know if it could restore the balance of the village. They would only know after trying it.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
A series of overlapping coughs echoed through the deserted village.
"It works!" Sun Rui said with delight.
The flames in front of me seemed to be stirred by something, as if they would be blown out at any moment.
"Now that we've used supernatural powers, we must do our best!"
The next moment, a terrifying coughing sound rang out again in the village, and a large area of flames began to go out under Sun Rui's influence. Moreover, this trend was intensifying, spreading rapidly towards the well like a disease.
His supernatural attack worked.
"Fortunately, the level of terror of the sick ghost is not high, otherwise using supernatural power three times in one day would greatly stimulate the resurgence of the vengeful ghost." Sun Rui sensed the sick ghost in his body and nodded slightly. Zhang Bohua's medicine was still very effective.
Sun Rui headed towards the ancestral hall. The areas that had been burned were stained with an eerie blackness, making Sun Rui feel very uncomfortable as if he were stepping on a vengeful ghost.
Despite his discomfort, he filled the gold box with some black soil. He didn't know if these things could be considered supernatural items; he would need to conduct some experiments later.
He decided to deliver the letter first. The situation in the village was too complicated, and investigating it thoroughly was beyond his current capabilities. Only by risking his life could he have a chance.
If the balance is not broken, and the village is in a state of equilibrium during the day, the letter can be easily completed.
But in supernatural events, vengeful ghosts won't give you a second chance.
Soon Sun Rui arrived near the ancestral hall.
The flames in the well had not yet gone out. This was not the fire they had set earlier, but rather the ghostly presence of the burning ghost. It seemed that his attack was not enough to completely restore balance to the village.
"A cough that could even repel vengeful spirits could only extinguish some supernatural flames." Sun Rui sighed, realizing he had overestimated his supernatural powers.
He didn't linger there; he had a backup plan: to actively draw out another supernatural force.
He still needs a bait, but he doesn't know if the murder patterns he analyzed earlier will work.
He soon returned to Qin Qiuyun's house, where the group sat on stools in a silent atmosphere.
"Sun Rui, how did things go? Has the matter been resolved?" Qin Qiuyun immediately stood up and asked.
Sun Rui shook his head: "It's not solved yet, but I have another idea that we can try."
Qin Qiuyun had lost hope after hearing the first half of the sentence, but she immediately perked up when she heard the second half.
"What method?"
"I need you to be the bait. I will protect your safety during this time," Sun Rui said.
"I...I can't do it, let them come." Qin Qiuyun immediately put on a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Enough nonsense. If you're unwilling, then we can only wait until tonight and see if things change. If they don't, then you can have your family prepare a coffin," Sun Rui said.
Qin Qiuyun's answer was within his expectations; after all, people always have an inexplicable fear of vengeful ghosts.
"I can be the bait..." Zhong Hang's weak voice rang out.
"You're not good enough. Only Qin Qiuyun is. Although my words are harsh, you're not even qualified to be bait," Sun Rui said coldly.
"Think it over yourself, and let me know when you've made up your mind."
Sun Rui found a thick hemp rope at the bottom of the stairs; he was going to prepare to go down the well.
Qin Qiuyun is likely the bait in the village that best fits the pattern of the ghostly haze's killings. Sun Rui needs to actively draw out the ghostly haze's supernatural power, which requires Qin Qiuyun's active cooperation.
Time passed by, and many villagers were resting in front of Qin Qiuyun's door. These were the people who had tried to run out of the village earlier, but they had obviously found that they could not get out and had to turn back.
Darkness slowly descended, and the temperature in the village began to drop.
Sun Rui sensed something unusual.
"This is ghost haze killing people!" Sun Rui picked up a rope and kicked open the door.
His gaze swept over the crowd at the doorway, and someone unknowingly triggered the vengeful ghost's killing pattern.
This is an opportunity!
