"Have you heard that a female resident of Building 75 jumped from the 13th floor this morning and committed suicide?"
"I know that family. This woman is a single mother. Her child was bitten to death by a monster a few days ago. She went crazy. She must have committed suicide because she felt that she had no hope of life."
"It's too tragic, this is too tragic..."
"Oh, you still have the heart to sympathize with others. We are too busy taking care of ourselves now. Maybe we will be the ones who die tomorrow. I don't think that big hole in the sky is safe."
"When did this day end? I don't know what the country is doing, but they haven't dealt with it until now. Don't they care about our life and death?"
"Oh, when will this day end!"
I came back from the ghost removal meeting. When I returned to the community where my home was located, several anxious residents were chatting in low voices. There was unconcealable fear and uneasiness in their words, as well as some dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with the country for not providing timely rescue.
condemn.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen and I, who were carrying large and small bags, paused slightly, and a faint look of sadness flashed across our faces.
It has been three days since the ghost baby appeared. Although the order in Yangcheng has stabilized in the past few days, tragedies like this female resident continue to happen.
Because of the tremendous pressure and panic, as well as the fact that many people's relatives and friends have died in this disaster, many people have been unable to bear it and have chosen to commit suicide in the past few days. I did not expect that such a situation would occur in the community where their new home is located today.
But I can understand this. Seeing her child die from the mouth of a ghost baby with her own eyes, the pain of this mother is unimaginable, which also makes my heart feel even worse. Watching this kind of tragedy happen helplessly is very harmful to me as a mother.
For me, a practitioner, it is really a kind of torture.
We didn't stay in the community for too long, and we went straight back home.
A lot has happened in Yangcheng these days.
The people of Yangdong District first evacuated the most dangerous Yangdong District with the help of "relevant departments". So far, Yangdong District has been completely sealed off, and those evacuated people have also been properly resettled.
At the same time, Yangcheng entered a state of emergency and implemented a curfew. It is prohibited to go out from 7 pm to 7 am. Violators will be punished, ranging from a verbal warning to jail time.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The period was special, and in order to maintain order, we could only take such emergency measures. This quickly stabilized the order in Yangcheng, significantly reduced violent incidents, and prevented the situation from getting further out of control.
In addition, Yang Bureau has also done a lot of work to counter the ghost caves and resentful spirits.
The Academy of Sciences has indeed developed instruments that can absorb dark air, but the number is small and the efficiency is impressive. It can only play a small role in dealing with the dark air emanating from the huge ghost cave.
The newly developed spiritual power detector is somewhat useful. Although there is still an upper limit to the value that the spiritual power detector can measure, this instrument can now detect not only soul power, but also dark air.
This is of great help to our work, because as long as the value detected by the detector is higher than a certain limit, it means that the resentful spirit (derivative spirit) is a potential threat, and then strong people will immediately go to annihilate it.
.
Now the sky in Yangcheng is full of these micro-robots, and we practitioners also have a pair of glasses to facilitate our movements.
It’s just that these methods are still far from solving the problem, but to be honest, there is no other way in Yang Jue now. We can only wait for Sun Hong and the others to succeed, and then the crisis will naturally be lifted. So now all the strong men in Yang Province are here.
We eagerly hope that Sun Hong and the others can succeed. It can be said that the three of them carry the hopes of 50 million people in Yang Province.
Since the end of the meeting that day, Sun Hong and the other three have disappeared, along with Shen Ming. It seems that Shen Ming is working hard to help the three strong men break through to Samsung. I hope they can live up to expectations, otherwise we may really be dead this time.
.
However, although Sun Hong and the others carry our huge hopes, we cannot put the hopes of fifty million people only on them. Therefore, Yang Ju recommends that all strong people should hurry up and practice to improve their overall strength.
Moreover, if I don’t hurry up and practice, it may be too late. As the dark energy in the air continues to increase, the difficulty of practice will definitely gradually increase. So in the past few days, in addition to carrying out some tasks assigned by the Ghost Slayer Association, I have been doing
I am concentrating on cultivation, and I went out today to buy groceries.
Speaking of which, during this special period, basically the entire Yangcheng has been shut down, and few people go out to work. They basically hide at home, so that they can be safe and spend time with their families.
According to the concept of most people, even if you die in the end, you will die with your family and loved ones, and money is not that important. Anyway, the "relevant departments" distribute food to various communities every day, so it is not difficult to meet the needs of living.
Therefore, it is basically deserted outside these days, and at least 90% of the stores have been closed. Even in places like the Hospital Patrol Bureau, there are a lot of people on strike, but it is relatively smaller than in other places.
Some, after all, people in this department have relatively high levels of consciousness, and many of them are practitioners.
Of course, there are also many practitioners who go on strike. During this emergency period, many practitioners even choose to avoid problems. This has also led to Su Liuliu and Zhao Kun working hard to maintain morale, but they still cannot get up.
have too great an effect.
In fact, if you think about it, cultivators are also human beings. They can also be afraid, helpless and desperate. Even if they have strong psychological endurance and deep ideological awareness, many cultivators will still have their mentality collapsed in desperate situations. This also makes Yangcheng
Recently there is a trend of carpe diem.
Let me tell you, this kind of mentality is not good. If you don't face difficulties with a positive and optimistic attitude, then there will be no hope. When I think of this, I can't help but touch the bullet in my trouser pocket.
This is my baby.
In the past few days, I have polished off the bullets my mother left for me. This is my only way to save my life. As long as the Samsung Ghost Baby does not come out, I will not die. I only hope that before the situation completely collapses, Sun Hongna
There can be some progress.
"came back?"
Seeing us pushing open the door and entering, Lin Wei and Ye Yuyou, who were practicing in the living room, quickly came over and took the large and small bags from our hands. There were pills and some food in them, which we brought from the Ghost Slayer Association.
Came back.
"Divide the elixirs, and everyone should practice quickly." Without saying too much, I shouted directly into the room, and then many acquaintances walked out of the room, and the room suddenly became lively.
Speaking of which, the house is really busy now because there are nine people in it.
As for why there are so many people, we actually have to start talking about it three days ago.
Due to the influx of a large number of strong people from other cities, in order to facilitate the placement of them, the Ghost Exorcist Association asked the locals in Yangcheng to arrange for some strong people from other places to live temporarily in their homes, so many strong people were placed here with me.
This also makes my home very lively at this time.
Needless to say, Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting, two people who have never settled in Yangcheng, must live in my house temporarily. There are also Jiang Chen, Xie Zhen, Lin Feng and several friends who live in the provincial capital. They are not locals, so naturally they are not locals.
No exceptions will be made.
These are all permanent residents.
From time to time, Qin Jiujiu Kangqiao comes back to see us and arranges some tasks for us. Jiang Yuan often comes over to see me as his junior brother. In addition, there are many people who visit us, such as some friends from the Sun family and classmates from junior high and high schools.
It's lively when there are more people, but in this depressing environment, it's actually hard for everyone to be happy because the pressure is so high, and our daily work is not only to practice, but also to have little communication, or to help deal with Yangcheng.
After all, some troubles that arise cannot be solved by patrolling alone.
In fact, the nine of us happened to be assigned to the same group, and we were usually responsible for any large-scale tasks, such as regularly cleaning up the derivatives that appeared in Yangdong District.
The leader of our group is Jiang Yuan, but a top powerhouse like Jiang Yuan, who is in the late two-star stage, usually stays in the Ghost Slayer Club, so he does not live with us.
The location of my new home is not Yangdong District, but Yanghe District next to Yangdong District. Its geographical location is exactly at the border of Yangdong District. It can be said that the boundary is just a few hundred meters away.
Therefore, by living here, we can also play a role in protecting the safety of Yanghe District, because as long as something happens in the boundary, we can react immediately and rush over to deal with the problem.
"Didn't Lin Huai come back with you?" Xiao Yuting couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet, he should be back later. The Ghost Slayer Club needs Lin Huai." I replied.
As a mobile encyclopedia of ghosts, Lin Huai's importance in this period is actually no less important than those of the late two-star powerhouses, so Lin Huai often stays at the Ghost Slayer Club.
Although Xiao Yuting also knows a lot in this area, Lin Huai does not want Xiao Yuting to run around, so Lin Huai has been busy these days, while Xiao Yuting has been busy practicing at home.
"Okay." After hearing this, Xiao Yuting had no choice but to nod.
At this time, Xie Zhen asked: "How is the situation outside?"
"It's still the same. Basically, not many people go out. There are paper burnings everywhere on the roadside. It's like a dead city." I distributed the pills while sighing: "And I feel that the sky is getting darker and darker outside. Ghosts
The cave already covers most of Yangdong District, and it will probably expand to our side soon, and a new boundary will have to be expanded by then."
"That's it..."
After hearing my answer, everyone felt a little heavy.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat together. The ingredients I brought are all medicinal foods, which are beneficial to our cultivation." I smiled. In order to deal with the current predicament, the Yang Jue and the Ghost Slayer Association can be said to have ignored everything.
, all the reserves over the years have been taken out.
Anyway, if all the people in Yang Province die, these things will be useless, so the Yang Ju Ghost Slayer Association is willing to use them. In short, during this period, all treasures will be distributed to many cultivators in Yang City for free.
Especially those of us who are two-star or above, will get more benefits. After all, we are the main force against the resentful spirits.
During the meal, everyone rarely chatted for a while, and the topic was nothing more than ghost babies, ghost caves, and derivatives. At the same time, our eyes frequently followed the windows to look at the ghost cave that blocked the sky and the sun in the direction of the barrier.
These days, the ghost cave above our heads has always been a nightmare for all Yangcheng people, including us.
Seeing Lin Wei looking out the window from time to time, I couldn't help but whisper in her ear: "What's wrong, honey, are you scared?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid." Lin Wei shook her head and murmured: "I miss my mother and grandpa a little bit. I don't know what's going on with them over there."
After hearing this, I suddenly realized that Lin Wei was homesick.
This is not surprising. Under such circumstances, basically everyone misses home and their relatives, such as Liang Yu, Zhang Hao, Xu Jing and other classmates. Although they knew that we would be safer here, they still returned to their own homes.
Home, stay with your family at all times and protect their safety.
In fact, this is also the norm in Yangcheng. Basically, most Yangcheng locals choose to stay at home.
However, this is also something that the senior officials of Yangcheng Bureau are happy to see happen, because the homes of the strong men in Yangcheng are scattered throughout Yangcheng, and by staying at home we are actually protecting the safety of the people in the nearby area.
This is also a responsibility clearly told to us above.
If you see something happening nearby, you must report it as soon as possible and deal with it as best you can to avoid further escalation of the situation and resulting in more casualties.
"Don't worry, aunt and grandpa will be fine. Yangju is currently the safest place in Yang Province." I took Lin Wei's hand and said with a smile, "The people in Yangju will definitely protect them."
"Yes." Lin Wei nodded slightly, the sadness on her face slightly reduced.
Seeing Lin Wei's face softening slightly, I was thinking to myself, it's a good thing we chose to move my grandpa's family to Yangju at that time, otherwise this ghost baby attack would definitely be affected.
If something happened to my grandpa's family in this attack, let alone Lin Wei, I would be in great pain. I guess Lin Wei might collapse completely. Fortunately, this did not happen. We accidentally hit grandpa.
Moving the family away actually protected them.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of my parents, and I sighed in my heart: "I don't know where my parents are now..."
It would be nice if they were here.
With their strength, if they were present, let alone mere ghost babies, they would probably be able to break this space directly.
Just as I was thinking about it, a burst of shrill screams mixed with endless terror suddenly came from outside the window.
