Chapter 665 I saw them in the future

The old lady's voice was filled with grief. "My daughter and son-in-law have been killed. I don't know where they came into contact with something dirty. When they got home, they started to go crazy. At night, their expressions were completely different from usual. They were even discussing in the next room how to kill me in a fun way..."

The wrinkled hands were clenched tightly. The old lady took a breath before continuing, "Then the people from the Investigation Bureau took them away. They said they had been replaced by shadows. About a week later, when I became a cleaner at a cleaning company, I saw their bodies among the garbage to be disposed of."

"Cleaning company? Cleaners?" Gao Ming asked with a puzzled tone: "What is your relationship with the Investigation Bureau? Don't be afraid, I'm not from the Investigation Bureau and I won't do anything to you."

After Gao Ming repeatedly assured him, the man who regained his sanity dared to speak: "The vast sea is in complete chaos. The Investigation Bureau is busy dealing with the black fog and doesn't care about the lives of us. Now it's all the district investigation bureaus that are fighting the disaster, but they don't have enough manpower. Those of us trapped in the ward can't leave, and we don't have any special abilities. In order to make a living, we can only join the cleaning, medical, and transportation companies set up by the local investigation bureaus to help them and do some dirty work that is not so dangerous."

"Is it a mess?" Gao Ming muttered in his mind, "I have captured Situ An and Xia Yang, and Afang, who represents the remaining consciousness of Blood City, is in the torture chamber again. No one in the Vast Sea should be able to check and balance the God of Pure Land and the Investigation Bureau, but looking at the current situation, they seem to have encountered other troubles and have not yet taken control of the situation."

The man's words implied his dissatisfaction with the Hanhai Investigation Bureau, which was even more obvious on the child. He complained directly: "If the Investigation Bureau hadn't covered up the truth, everyone wouldn't have been caught off guard and so many people would have died in vain. It's too late to make amends later."

"If Director Situ were still alive, it would have been great. He risked his life by broadcasting throughout the city to alert everyone of the impending disaster. Unfortunately, good men don't live long. After he 'disappeared,' the East District became the first district in Hanhai to be completely destroyed. The Investigation Bureau was just taking personal revenge, and in order to avenge Director Situ, they abandoned millions of citizens in the East District." The man known as Uncle Qi became more and more emotional as he spoke.

"The Director Situ you are talking about, his full name couldn't be Situ An, right?" Gao Ming was not sure, because the Director Situ described by the other party and the Situ An in his impression were completely two different people.

"Yes, it's him. I fled from the East District. When Director Situ was here, the East District was the most prosperous area in Hanhai. After he got into trouble, the situation immediately got out of control." The man missed the time when Situ An was here, but he didn't know that the biggest threat to the East District was actually Situ An, and he had been colluding with the shadow world.

The old man next to him didn't dare to speak, but the expression on his face agreed with what the man surnamed Qi said.

Seeing the looks of several people, Gao Ming felt it was ironic. Situ An, who created anomalies everywhere and sacrificed living people, actually became a hero in the eyes of the citizens. This was only because after being killed by Gao Ming, he had reserved the means to drag the Investigation Bureau to die together, directly disclose the so-called truth, and put all the blame on the Investigation Bureau for the terrible things he had done.

The black fog was approaching and the disaster could no longer be covered up. The Investigation Bureau had no choice but to disclose some information, which in turn verified Situ An's previous warning.

"This guy is really troublesome. If people's views are not corrected, Situ An might even have to build a shrine in the vast sea."

Unconsciously, Gao Ming walked to the three cleaners. They seemed to be "accustomed" to Gao Ming's existence and had no hostility towards him. "Is the Investigation Bureau the only one fighting the disaster now? Are there any other larger self-help organizations?" Gao Ming blinked his eyes: "Have you heard of the ghost story player?"

"Of course!" The little boy became excited, his eyes shining. "They are the most mysterious and powerful group of people in Hanhai except for the Investigation Bureau. They are active in various wards, hunting evil spirits and collecting curses. Becoming a ghost story player is the dream of many citizens, but unfortunately they have extremely strict requirements for recruiting members."

Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the Dead Water Forum had developed well during the time he was away.

"Who are the more famous ghost story players now? Do they cooperate with the Investigation Bureau?"

“There are so many famous players, and every one of them is a hero.”

The little boy had a strong filter for ghost story players. Seeing that he was emotional, the old lady held the boy's shoulders and explained: "This child's brother is a ghost story player. He stayed at home every day before the disaster. Later, he gained ghost powers. His brother saved people in a building, but he disappeared into the darkness."

The cleaners in the cleaning company all have their own past. The disaster changed their lives, but did not destroy their hopes.

"Unlike the complicated reward system within the Investigation Bureau, the Dead Water Forum has set up a public contribution ranking list. Killing evil spirits, purifying anomalies, and rescuing living people will increase your contribution. If you want to know more about the ghost story players, just look at the list." The man surnamed Qi recalled for a while: "As the scope of the disaster expands, the status of the ghost story players is also constantly improving. Most of the players on the list have made their identities public. The player ranked first now is called Fanli. He is really a role model for all living people. He is brave and sincere, humble and upright. He is powerful but has no airs. Citizens who have seen him say that he is a natural leader."

Being ranked first on the contribution list does not mean one has the strongest strength, but it represents the greatest contribution to the vast ocean. Fanshi has lived up to Gao Ming's expectations and is gradually becoming the best version of himself in the future.

"The second to fourth on the list have hidden their identities. The fifth is Luo Dong, who leads all the ghost story players in the occupied area of ​​the eastern part of the vast sea. He has organized teams to go deep into the ward three times and led the team to carry out super-large collective ghost story missions." Speaking of ghost story players, the little boy knows much more than the man surnamed Qi and the old lady: "Since the disappearance of Director Situ, the East District has been repeatedly ravaged by ghosts and anomalies. The Investigation Bureau has blocked the East District and focused on preventing the black fog. It was Luo Dong who went deep into the East District despite opposition and brought hope to the survivors there. He is also called the Acting Director of the East District by the citizens."

The future that Gao Ming had seen seemed to be kissing the original trajectory in another form.

"Among the top ten, except for the few who are hiding their identities, the strongest one is No. 10. It is said that he used to be the security team leader of the Investigation Bureau, but later he had a falling out with the Bureau and became a ghost story player." The little boy told Gao Ming the inside information mysteriously: "Some people also say that No. 10 is not a person, but a security team, because their public name is Xinhu Special Protection Team 1."
