Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 64 Take action
Cold, dark, and weird.

This was Xu Kong’s first feeling after entering Dachang City.

Above the sky, the thick haze obscured the sunlight, making Dachang City seem like midnight at noon.

The dark blue haze of starving ghosts in the air was like bruises on a corpse that had been dead for days, and being in it made people feel nauseous instinctively.

On the street, although there were a few pedestrians hurrying back and forth in the diffuse haze, they all wore masks and remained silent, with frowns on their faces. Even the glances they made at each other passed by without stopping for a moment.

Xu Kong's slightly pale face seemed a little too energetic here.

As he continued to move forward, he discovered that people on both sides of the road would occasionally open the closed curtains a little and observe secretly.

But when Xu Kong raised his head and looked back, he could only see the curtains that were hastily drawn, as if they were afraid of being seen.

Xu Kong did not try to find the reason behind this. He thought it was just the social evolution within a closed urban space.

However, judging from the price tags in supermarkets and the behavior of pedestrians along the way, the order of the entire Dachang City was maintained fairly well under the cooperation of Wang Xiaoming and others. At least there were no large-scale riots such as looting, smashing and burning.

Xu Kong's pupils turned slightly black, and he secretly observed with his simulated ghost eyes. He saw that no matter whether it was the residents of Dachang City who were walking on the road or staying at home, there was a ghost baby of varying sizes in their bodies. The ghosts responded to the blue-black haze of the outside world with their breathing, and then endlessly absorbed their flesh, blood, and spirit, and continued to grow rapidly.

He shook his head.

Cao Yanhua's information was still lagging behind.

Of course, it is also possible that the appearance of Xu Kong caused Zhao Kaiming behind the scenes to become impatient, urging the starving ghost controlled by the wishing ghost to further accelerate the growth of the ghost baby.

But no matter what, if no one stops it, I'm afraid a large number of ghost babies will burst out of their stomachs tonight.

By then, the superficial stability that the entire Dachang City has barely maintained will be directly shattered.

I think Wang Xiaoming should be very annoyed at this time, right?

"Drip!"

Xu Kong was observing when suddenly two headlights lit up in front of him. A car drove over and stopped next to him.

The car window rolled down, revealing Yang Jian's pale, tired face and his forced smile.

"Xu Kong, long time no see. Wang Xiaoming asked me to pick you up."

"Less than three days, shouldn't it be long?"

When meeting an acquaintance, Xu Kong couldn't help but smile. He replied casually, then opened the car door and sat next to Yang Jian.

"Really? It's only been three days..."

Yang Jian instinctively shifted gears and started the car, but his response was a bit confused. He blinked his red eyes before he reacted and apologized to Xu Kong.

"I'm sorry, but right now in Dachang City, you can't tell day from night. It feels like half a year has passed."

In the speeding car, Xu Kong looked out the window. The once prosperous city was now as desolate as a hollow village in the countryside. He immediately shook his head.

Dachang City has gone through such an incident. Even if there are no other twists and turns in the future, it will take at least half a year to recover.

He retracted his gaze and asked Yang Jian.

"It seems like you guys have had a wonderful few days?"

“Oh, it’s really wonderful.”

Yang Jian smiled bitterly and let out a long breath.

"We have been chasing the ghost baby in No. 7 Middle School, the Central Hospital, parks, amusement parks, universities, government offices..."

“I’ve been running all over Dachang City and fighting seven or eight times, but I’m still helpless against a ghost baby with the ability to restart.”

"Yan Li, who was on my team, also fought to the point where the evil spirit was revived. Before he took the initiative to enter the golden woven bag, he was still asking me to take care of his family..."

"If you hadn't come, I would have had to take the risk..."

Yang Jian's voice gradually became lower and lower as he spoke his last sentence, and as he lowered his head, Xu Kong had to remind him.

"Yang Jian? Are you not asleep? You're driving!" Yang Jian woke up with a start and looked up, but the steering wheel in his hand was extremely steady and did not move at all.

Then his eyes caught sight of a passerby nearby, and as if he had just remembered something, he changed the subject.

"Oh, right!"

"Today, Wang Xiaoming changed the name of the ghost baby to Starving Ghost. It sounds more appropriate. After all, the bodies of people in the entire Dachang City are full of those ghost things..."

…………

Dachang City Government Office.

When Xu Kong got off the car, what he saw was a chaotic scene.

At the gate, seven or eight people were running towards the parking lot at a very fast speed. One of them even fell down, but he still got up quickly and continued running.

Inside the government office, the communications office on the first floor was flooded with calls for help and emergencies, leaving the operator overwhelmed.

"The Huxi District is in a state of emergency. Most public officials feel severe pain in their bodies and are unable to work normally."

"Hushan District is in crisis. Ghost babies are starting to appear sporadically in the area. The situation is difficult to control. Requesting support."

"Yunhu District is in urgent need of help. A riot broke out in a neighborhood. The situation has been basically brought under control, but the public is still very emotional. Please provide support..."

As the voices kept urging him, Xu Kong saw that everyone in the office had fatigue and anxiety on their faces, with bloodshot eyes and bags under their eyes. It was obvious that they had been busy for a long time.

Yang Jian was obviously confused about all this.

"Before I came to pick you up, everything was clearly in order..."

"That's because the growth of the ghost babies in the human body suddenly accelerated, as if they were stimulated by something!"

Wang Xiaoming's tired but firm voice suddenly came.

Xu Kong and Yang Jian turned their heads to look.

But Wang Xiaoming walked out of the office next door with his eyes so red that no bloodshot was seen.

Behind him followed Li Jun and several regulars of Dachang City News Station. However, except for Li Jun, the regulars of Dachang City News Station were not much better than Wang Xiaoming.

"It's an emergency!"

Wang Xiaoming looked at Xu Kong and spoke directly.

"I wanted to introduce the situation to you, but I don't have time to talk more now."

"We have discovered through public security surveillance that the Hungry Ghost is currently at the West Railway Station."

"I hope you can rush over and take action immediately and detain him."

"At the very least, we must interrupt the starving ghosts' control over the ghost babies in those people's bodies. Otherwise, the millions of people in Dachang City who are exposed may not survive."

"no problem!"

Xu Kong nodded.

Take money from others and help them to eliminate disasters. A salary is a contribution to one's efforts.

Since he has already received the "advance payment" from the headquarters, he will not delay.

"But there's no need to go to the West Railway Station."

As Xu Kong finished speaking, the shadow of an old cabinet appeared behind him.

Then the cabinet door opened.

boom! ! !
Yang Jian and others seemed to hear a loud noise, and in an instant endless scarlet blood gushed out from the old man, submerging everything within their sight.
