Chapter five hundred and twenty-three strange things in the city
"Then let's rest first and wait until later." Gu Yue announced the end of the meeting, and the four of them got up and left one after another, returning to their rooms.
Seeing them walking away, the fat man turned back and said, "Master, although there is no evil spirit in this city, there is ghost energy. I'm afraid..."
"I know." Gu Yue nodded. He could naturally see that the people in this city were not monsters, but evil spirits. "Just be optimistic that nothing will happen to them. It's good to gain experience!"
The fat man nodded, then stood up and took Mushroom with him to leave. When Gu Yue turned her head, she saw Shen Ying sitting still, looking straight at him.
"what?"
"night snack!"
"Not today, let's go!"
"..." Alas, I miss the cook every day!
Shen Ying had no choice but to take out the pastries from the bag, eat them and go out.
"Oh, by the way." Gu Yue suddenly thought of something and added casually, "Shen Ying, you'd better not..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the person had walked away. He had to take back his words, forget it, it's just an evil ghost.
The thing in this city was not a monster. From the moment he entered the city, he could see it. It was an evil ghost that fed on human anger, and it was very likely to be promoted to the ghost king soon. In this city The reason why people fall asleep is because part of their vitality has been sucked away.
Ghosts are actually easier to deal with than monsters and spiritual beasts, of course, if they can be found first. These disciples have never been exposed to ghosts and ghosts, so it is normal to be confused for a while. As long as you keep your mind calm, you will not be evil. Ghost control.
With Shen Ying's ability, no matter how powerful the evil ghost is, it is probably difficult to capture her. After all, she is the one who beat the ghost king to tears.
So if anything happens to anyone, it will never happen to her... what a bullshit!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"Where are the people?!" Gu Yue looked at the empty room, with ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in her heart!
The fat man was also confused, "I didn't see Miss Shen come out?"
"Look for it! Find it quickly!" He shouldn't have relaxed a little bit about that idiot!
"Yes!" The fat man was about to go out, but suddenly he heard the sound of a bell ringing in his ears. The sound was simple and distant. It spread throughout Quhang City in an instant and penetrated into everyone's ears. For a moment, he just felt like a god. Consciousness vibrates, as if something is about to leave the body.
The four disciples quickly mobilized their spiritual energy to protect their hearts and suppressed the feeling.
Suddenly there was a clang at the door, and Zhilin, who had followed all the way, was lying down at the entrance of the inn downstairs, with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of a soul leaving the body.
"Xiao Lin!" Jian Xing was startled and jumped down from the upstairs. He helped the person on the ground and released a trace of spiritual energy to protect her heart. Zhilin's face looked better now.
"Brother..." Zhilin glanced at the person in front of him with lingering fear, suddenly seemed to think of something, looked up at the people upstairs and said, "By the way, Master, I just saw Sister Shen on the street. She didn't respond when I called her, it seemed... she seemed to be controlled by something."
Gu Yue was startled, and she was next to her in a flash, "Where did you see her?"
"It's on the street in front!" She pointed outside.
Gu Yue turned around and rushed out, looking for her in the direction she pointed, and everyone quickly followed.
As soon as I came out, I realized that it was dark midnight, but the streets were full of people outside. If I looked closely, they were all residents of the city during the day. Without exception, they all had their eyes closed, their faces numb, like wandering ghosts, and they were looking at each other. They were walking in the same direction, as if controlled by something, without making any sound.
A disciple mobilized his spiritual energy and explored their souls, but his face turned pale, "They...their souls are not in their bodies!"
Others were stunned, and opened the doors of the houses on the street one after another, walked into the room, and found phantoms lying on the bed. They were the souls of those people on the street, but their faces were painful, as if they were experiencing What a terrible dream.
"It was the sound of the bell just now!" Jian Xing said solemnly, "Their souls were shaken out by the sound of the bell, and something took control of their bodies."
"Find Shen Ying first!" Gu Yue said in a deep voice, and flew up directly, letting go of her consciousness to scan the dense crowd on the street. Only then did she find the familiar figure on the street, following the crowd step by step towards the city. Walking towards her mouth, a closer look revealed that there was still a faint trace of ghostly energy wrapped around her legs.
"Over there!" Gu Yue flew down directly and dispersed the ghostly aura on Shen Ying's feet with a wave of her hand, causing the person to stop instantly.
Everyone else also chased after them, and Fatty said subconsciously, "It's strange, how could Miss Shen be so possessed by a mere ghost..."
"Shh..." Before he could finish his words, Gu Yue suddenly turned around nervously and said in a low voice, "Stop talking!"
"Ah?!" Everyone was stunned and froze on the spot.
Thinking that something big happened to Shen Ying? A closer look revealed that she was just like other unconscious bodies, with her eyes tightly closed and her face expressionless, but... there was a faint sound of snoring.
Fatty: "..."
Jian Xing: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Is she sleeping? She didn't have an out-of-body experience at all, she just fell asleep!
Before a few people could react, Gu Yue's serious voice came to their ears, as if facing a formidable enemy, "Go, quickly, bring the quilts and pillows from her room. Don't make any noise, if... ...If you don’t want to die!”
The disciples looked confused, but they still turned around and moved the quilts and pillows.
"Quick, bring it to me, be careful!" Gu Yue took the quilt in their hands, took a deep breath, then walked forward carefully, then wrapped it carefully around Shen Ying, and then wrapped it up with great caution He hugged the person and gently placed him on the quilt spread on the ground.
Every move was like a slow-motion replay, and I even held my breath the whole time for fear of making any sound.
It wasn't until he was put back into bed that he took a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It's okay, it's okay! He didn't wake up! Dad was scared to death.
Onlookers: "..."
"Master." Jian Xing looked at the figures who had walked out of the city one after another, and couldn't help but send a message, "The people in this city..."
Gu Yue looked back at them, then nodded and said, "You guys go ahead! If you encounter anything, try to stay away and take action. I'll watch Shen Ying here, Fatty, watch them."
"Yes, Master." The fat man nodded, glanced at the four disciples, then took a piece of mushroom and flew away with the crowd leaving the city.
Zhilin looked back at Gu Yue, something flashed in his eyes, and he quickly followed with his sword.
The few people chased all the way out of the city, but saw the sky outside the city filled with white fog. The fog was so thick that they could only see a distance of about a foot wide around them. The few people had to fly down to avoid being scattered by the fog.
