Chapter 225 The Abandoned City
"This is too chaotic. Has this world always been so crazy?"
Ajian: "This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing, but this level of Yin Qi and the number of ghosts should not be produced in this world now."
Ye Tingbai's divine words are gradually losing their effectiveness. Some ghosts have begun to move their bodies. This time they are not aggressive, but hide in the depths of each room. They are afraid.
He also tried to catch a few ghosts for questioning, but these things have no consciousness at all, only the most basic desires.
Ajian: "It's useless. Hell has been out of management for tens of thousands of years. The existence of hell was to torture these people. No matter what kind of damage they suffer in hell, their souls will recover.
Originally, there is a time limit for serving a sentence, but hell is closed and these ghosts can only be tortured inside, over and over again, and it has been repeated for tens of thousands of years. It is basically impossible for them to have consciousness. If they have consciousness, they must be very evil."
Since these ghosts have no consciousness, there must be some special reason why they gather in the west of the city, and the abnormal fusion phenomenon is most serious in this area of the city.
Ye Tingbai: "The woman Yu Jun mentioned may be the key. Ordinary people can't live in such a place. It's unrealistic."
Mingchuan decided to abandon it, so naturally there was less investment. All the monitoring equipment was ineffective. Now the two of them are basically blind here.
The west of the city is too big. There are dozens of communities. It is almost impossible to find someone. He just wanted to try his luck and see the situation, but now it seems that his luck is not good. There is not even a ghost in the deserted half of the city.
If you want to see a ghost, you have to catch it in the corner.
Ye Tingbai and the others returned to their motorcycles and wanted to go to the order office here to see. As a result, they saw a girl touching the motorcycle from a distance. Obviously, it was a person.
Ye Tingbai: "Hey, what are you doing!"
The girl looked average, with a simple ponytail, and was only about 20 years old. After being discovered by Ye Tingbai, she embarrassedly retracted her palm.
"My name is Gan Qing, I'm from the Mingchuan Order Branch. You are the investigator mentioned by the headquarters, right?"
Ye Tingbai didn't know how Xie Cai arranged him, so he had to nod first. This girl seemed to be very familiar with people. She started to talk about how dangerous the west city was and that they shouldn't go in.
Although this girl's IQ and EQ were not online, she had a good heart. Ye Tingbai didn't refute her. He just listened to her nagging for a while until she calmed down. Ye Tingbai asked.
"I heard that there is a living person living in the west city?"
Gan Qing's face was a little unnatural, as if she didn't want to talk about this woman, but she couldn't stand Ye Tingbai's questioning eyes.
"We don't know if it's a person or not. Maybe it just looks like a person."
Ye Tingbai: "What do you mean?"
"That woman is a citizen of Mingchuan City. She should be 35 years old now. We have seen her several times because she often needs to go out to buy food.
Her name is Hongyi. According to official records, she has been dead for eight years, so we don't know if she is a person or not."
Gan Qing showed Ye Tingbai the woman's information. She was indeed determined to be dead eight years ago. The cause of death was advanced liver cancer, which spread to the whole body and finally multiple organ failure. She was determined to be dead in the hospital.
Generally speaking, this kind of death certificate is more credible. After all, it is not a casual statement of one person. She died in the presence of several doctors and nurses in the hospital. Moreover, it is such a serious disease, so the probability of error should be very small.
Ye Tingbai: "Since you have also found her, haven't you tried to investigate her in these years?"
Gan Qing shook his head helplessly.
"I don't dare to go. She lives in the most terrifying place in the west of the city, a low-rent apartment. We've been there once. There's a ghost living in every household there, and they're all extremely terrifying."
Ye Tingbai: "Conscious?"
Gan Qing nodded. Ye Tingbai and Ajian looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes, because Ajian just said that hell has been running autonomously for tens of thousands of years, and the ghosts here must have been tortured crazy. Now there are so many conscious ghosts, how crazy they must be. They haven't been tortured crazy for tens of thousands of years, how firm their minds must be.
Will ghosts of this strength live under the same roof with other ghosts?
Then the two decided to go back to the Order Office here with Gan Qing to take a look, sort out clues and information, and then decide on the next step.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them, led by emotion, arrived at the Order Office here. It was very simple and located in the suburbs of the south of the city, only ten minutes away from the city.
Building a headquarters here, it is estimated that these people have already thought about running away at any time.
This is a temporary mold house, or an assembled house, where the construction of the house is done by the manufacturer. Here, you only need to assemble it. Basically, a three-story building can be built in a few hours.
Except for the short service life, there are basically no disadvantages.
When they really walked in here, they understood what it meant to be consistent inside and outside. The outside is simple, and the inside is even simpler. The entire order is planned, and the area is not small, but it looks abandoned.
Ye Tingbai: "Your place is too miserable."
Gan Qing laughed awkwardly and explained it roughly.
This place was once prosperous. When it was at its largest, there were hundreds of judges gathered here. Each of them had strange abilities and could cause direct damage to ghosts. At that time, the World Government had not yet decided to give up Mingchuan, and there was a momentum to gather the power of the world to eliminate Mingchuan.
But later they found that it was not feasible. There was no need to care about the new ghosts, and their abilities were extremely poor, but those ghosts that appeared out of thin air and gathered in the west of the city were not weak. There might be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ghosts there, and they could not clean them up at all.
Finally, after the World Government decided to give up Mingchuan, the people here were gradually transferred away, because the ordinary people who still stubbornly stayed here had their own selfish motives, or wanted to become ghosts to continue to exist, or wanted to see their families and other reasons, and the Order believed that such people were not worth protecting.
Even though there are still one million people in this city now, the Order still disbanded the branch here, leaving these people to fend for themselves. So far, there are only three people left in the Order here.
Moreover, their job is no longer to clean up pollutants, but to observe the overall movement of Mingchuan and see whether it is stable, so as to provide data to the Order Institute and the World Government.
After all, ordinary people cannot see ghosts, and often they have to rely on these judges to observe with their naked eyes.
