Mysterious Resurrection: I am Jiang Shang, commanding ghosts and becoming a god

Chapter 118: A mysterious place hidden in the ripples (5000)

Now, Jiang Shan has dealt with most of the troubles in Dachun City.

Except for the president, the largest civil organization in the North, the Freemen, was almost wiped out.

Today, special personnel from the headquarters have taken over Dachun City and even various departments in the three provinces.

An independent, completely new system is being attempted to be established.

The only thing the branch needs to do now is for the minister to convene a meeting to manage and control the heads of the cities in the three provinces and the civilian ghost riders.

However, Jiang Shan decided to put this matter aside for a while.

After all, as long as he is alive,
The ghost riders in these three provinces can't make much waves at all.

If he can't handle the supernatural incident of "Ghost Town in the Rain" now.

Judging from the speed at which it is spreading now.

Within a month, this "resurrecting" ghost rain will cover Dachun City.

By then, there will be another S-level supernatural event in the country.

Power and justice.

Jiang Shan still knows clearly what is more important.

"Jiang Qingwu, tell me all the information about the current Interpol in Dachun City."

Looking at the city shrouded in heavy rain across the bridge, Jiang Shan calmly lit a cigarette and spoke into the satellite phone.

"it is good."

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Jiang Qingwu responded immediately.

After smoking a cigarette, Jiang Qingwu's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Minister Jiang, the current Interpol officer in Dachun City is He Qiong, female, 26 years old, a local ghost rider in Dachun City, codenamed 'Sleeping Ghost', and her specific abilities are unknown."

"The headquarters' files record that He Qiong disappeared eight days ago while investigating the 'Free Man' organization. According to satellite positioning, she is suspected to have disappeared in the Garden Community in Nanguan District, Dachun City."

Jiang Shan asked: "Can we still locate her satellite phone signal now?"

It is not difficult to analyze from Wang Huzhi's words and the spread trend of ghost towns,

He Qiong definitely has a huge connection with this ghost town in the rain.

First, the ghost shopkeeper asked Wang Huzhi to complete the task: drive He Qiong into the ghost town;

Then, after He Qiong disappeared, the ghost rain stopped spreading and only resumed its momentum today.

Back and forth,
It was hard for Jiang Shan not to become suspicious.

"Ghosts can actively look for people, which means that person is very likely to have the puzzle ghost that the ghost needs."

"Let's not talk about whether the ghost controlled by He Qiong is a puzzle piece or not. The ghost town in the rain appeared a month ago, and He Qiong became a ghost driver at this juncture. It seems that she has an inexplicable connection with this supernatural event."

Jiang Shan was not making up the news that ghosts would actively look for people in order to complete the puzzle.

In the original novel, Yang Jian went to Mingyue Community in Dachuan City to deliver a letter to 301.

The head of the headless ghost launched several attacks on Yang Jian, just to kill Yang Jian and then control this important piece of the puzzle.

Whether it is the headless ghost that has frozen in time or the ghost head that steals the wisdom of the living, they all have an instinctive search to form a complete ghost.

Therefore, Jiang Shan concluded that the Ghost Shopkeeper had the same purpose in letting He Qiong enter the Ghost Town.

But he really couldn't figure out what kind of puzzle-like connection there was between the "Sleeping Ghost" and Ghost Rain and Ghost Shopkeeper.

If it was a haunted hotel, he might understand.
After all, he died sleeping in the hotel.

This is still understandable.

"This mysterious place with the appearance of ghost rain is very strange, so strange that it is unbelievable." The more Jiang Shan thought about it, the weirder it felt.

The special building "Ghost Post Office" is man-made and is specifically used to train top-level ghost riders.

And mysterious places like the "Slaughterhouse", "Old House in the Woods" and "Endless Cemetery" were all means used by the top ghost controllers in the Republic of China to imprison or deal with evil spirits after their death.

But this "ghost town in the rain" gave Jiang Shan a very strange feeling.

The first impression it gives people is that it is a man-made mysterious place, but its various behaviors make it look like a pure ghost, but it is not so pure.

Strange.

Jiang Qingwu's voice came from the satellite phone again:

"Of course you can, but the signal is intermittent, sometimes it appears and sometimes it doesn't. Tracing the source of that signal requires special equipment. Only the satellite positioning phone of the person in charge can determine the location of the signal."

Suddenly the voice paused, and then a middle-aged man's voice sounded and continued:
"Minister Jiang, I'm Zhong Xia, the deputy director of the branch specially assigned by the headquarters. If you are going to look for Interpol He Qiong, please be careful."

"Based on the analysis of the last recording in He Qiong's satellite phone, the headquarters think tank determined that she must have entered a supernatural event similar to 'Haunted Road'."

"The headquarters has already sent the six ghost candles you requested to Dachun City. Because the headquarters attaches great importance to this supernatural incident, they have sent a scapegoat to the minister. Its specific function is..."

After patiently listening to Zhong Hua's explanation, Jiang Shan said:

"Send me all the red ghost candles and scapegoats. Bring me one white ghost candle. There is a special handbag on the table in my study. Remember to bring it to me. Also, don't ask Cao Yang and other city leaders to come to support us. They can't help."

If he were facing a ghost rider, he might not be so fearful and cautious.

After all, ghost riders are human.

As long as one is a human being, he will have some concerns in his heart.

Maybe it’s because of my identity.
Or perhaps it was because they were worried about the revival of the evil spirit.

As long as the gap in strength is not too big, there is still room for negotiation between ghost riders.

Just like Jiang Shan meets Qin Lao now, even though Qin Lao can kill him easily, this situation is unlikely to happen.

But ghosts are different.

Even ghosts like the Peddler and the Ghost Cabinet who don't seem to actively kill people,
As long as they are ghosts, their most basic laws and instincts will never change.

kill,
Find the puzzle pieces.

Three red ghost candles and a scapegoat doll.

With this configuration, even if this ghost town is Zhang Dong’s old house, Jiang Shan dares to stay there for half an hour.

"Yes, Minister. I promise to deliver the ghost candle and the handbag within half an hour." Zhong Hua replied immediately.

After hanging up the phone,
Jiang Shan sat on a chair in a small shop, smoking a cigarette, quietly waiting for Guizhu to arrive.

"Young man, where did you buy this mobile phone? I don't know how to use a smart phone, so I wanted to get one. In those days, only people with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan could afford it. I'll give you 300 yuan, young man, can you consider it and see if it's okay with you?"

An old man in the grocery store looked at the satellite phone on Jiang Shan's waist with his eyes shining. He hesitated for more than ten minutes before he mustered up the courage to speak.

The old man just finished speaking last second.

The next second he took out four big red tickets from his wallet and placed them in front of Jiang Shan and continued:
"How about this, I won't let you suffer any loss. After all, I know it's not easy to make this thing. Four hundred is all of your uncle's private money. I also have the Furong King that my son bought for me. Please fulfill my wish."

"Young man, let me tell you, this thing of yours was sold at a mobile phone store for fifty-one a few years ago and no one wanted it. But I don't know what happened to the mobile phone store, and suddenly no one sold it. Your uncle Wang really wanted this thing, so I'll sell it to your uncle as long as I can."

An old lady in the convenience store spoke right after him.

Three provincial characteristics,

Never let your words fall unanswered.

Jiang Shan looked at the old man's sincere eyes without saying anything. He just silently handed him a cigarette and then started chatting about family matters.

Just when the middle-aged woman was about to introduce a partner to Jiang Shan.

The charming roar unique to the eight-cylinder engine attracted the attention of everyone in the store.

"What's going on? Is there going to be a war? Why are there so many military vehicles?"

"Don't tell me, it's really possible. My son told me that it's been raining in Nanguan District for a month. It's because the US spies have launched some kind of climate weapon or something. It's going to flood Dachun City. Didn't you see that the bridge is closed?"

Everyone looked in the direction the woman pointed.

Not far from the store, the bridge leading to Nanguan District has been put on alert.

There is even a temporary checkpoint next to the cordon, which is specifically used to prevent citizens of Dachun City from entering.

This is Wang Xi lying on the hospital bed last night, sorting out the documents that were issued all night.

The document states two main things:

1. Orderly and secret migration of all citizens in the southern city.

2. All irrelevant outsiders are prohibited from entering the rainy area.

Just as everyone was discussing, the aunt who was introducing her daughter to Jiang Shan seemed to have discovered something and suddenly shouted:

"Stop talking! They stopped the car and are coming towards us!"

"Ah! Do we have a spy here?!"

"What are you talking about? That old Wang was the veteran soldier who was awarded the gun by the 502nd Division. That old Zhao was awarded three first-class merits. Which one of them don't you know? Even if your son has undergone sex reassignment surgery, they can't be spies. Wait a minute..."

An old man in the crowd was talking, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Jiang Shan.

After all, he was the only outsider present.

At some point, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became anxious and uneasy.

Old Wang, who had wanted to buy a satellite phone earlier, was now staring at Jiang Shan with a bad look on his face.

With the sound of the door being pushed open,
"Minister, I have brought what you wanted. Please be careful in your next actions."

Zhong Hua pushed the door open and said solemnly. At the same time,

A group of special forces personnel followed Zhong Hua in, making this small store suddenly seem extremely crowded.

"minister?!"

Although everyone in the convenience store didn't know what this identity meant.

However, when seeing the "real stuff" in the hands of the special forces around them, these old men and women were dumbfounded for a moment and were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Jiang Shan took the handbag from Zhong Hua, pointed to an old man in the crowd and said to Zhong Hua:

"After I leave, take a satellite phone, not the kind with positioning, and give it to this old man."

"Yes!"

Zhong Hua came from a military background. When he saw the bullet holes on Old Wang's hand, he immediately understood what was going on.

"The fifth level of the ghost realm cannot be invaded. It seems that we can only walk in."

Seeing that the silver light could not penetrate the ghost rain, Jiang Shan found the satellite phone and turned on the positioning function.

The ghost hunters at the headquarters can locate each other through phone calls. This function is to facilitate mutual support when they work together to solve supernatural incidents.

"There is a signal. It's just across the bridge, in a residential area not too far away." Jiang Shan immediately identified a signal source from the screen of his mobile phone.

It flickers intermittently, as if the signal contact is poor.

"My memory is correct. The ghost riders of the Freedom Ones also entered the ghost town from here. It seems that this is an entrance to the ghost town."

"Can I leave the ghost town like Yang Jian left the ghost painting?"

Looking at the city shrouded in heavy rain, Jiang Shan couldn't help but think in his heart.

He asked Zhong Hua for a golden bullet, then picked up his handbag and walked onto the bridge holding an umbrella.

As we go deeper,

It started to drizzle all around, and the rain got heavier as we got deeper into the city.

"There is nothing magical about the rain. It seems that it is just a medium. Wang Huzhi said that you can enter the ghost town by finding a pit with accumulated water. I still want to verify it."

Walking out of the bridge, Jiang Shan on the sidewalk was always observing his surroundings vigilantly, and trying to use the word "ghost" to touch the rain.

But I found that

The rain that poured down over hundreds of square kilometers did not have the slightest bit of supernatural power!

"This ghost rain is too weird. I will first find the source of He Qiong's satellite phone signal and see if I can find any special patterns in this ghost rain." Jiang Shan thought.

Because the memories seen through the vampire are very few.

Therefore, Jiang Shan needs to explore and find out many rules about this ghost town and ghost rain by himself.

All he knew were the special ghosts in the haunted hotel.

And he only knew about the existence of those ghosts, some of the more detailed things.

For example, the pattern of killing and the method of attack.

Ask three questions.

Time passes by second by second.

The rain is getting heavier.
The heavy rain pouring down like a waterfall fell on the glass of buildings and on the roads in the city, making a "dong dong" sound, as if countless fingers were knocking on the knell of death.

Due to the continuous heavy rain and the inexplicable disappearances, there is no one to be seen in the entire city.

"This Rain"

Jiang Shan frowned as he looked at the rain water gathering into streams on the road. He noticed.

The rainwater gathered into streams and slowly flowed into the sewers along the gutters on both sides of the street.

This doesn't seem too weird.

After all, the drainage system of a big city with a population of nearly 10 million can fully cope with heavy rains for several months.

But the weird thing is,

It rained heavily for a whole month.
The entire city seemed to be unaffected, and the trees on both sides of the road were still green.

Although there was a rotten damp smell in the air, Jiang Shan felt that the dampness came more from the ghost rain.

Different from the return of the south wind in Dafu City,

This damp and cold feeling is like wrapping your naked body in a quilt soaked in ice water in the twelfth lunar month, and even your bones are soaked in dampness and coldness.

After keeping these anomalies in mind, Jiang Shan continued walking towards the signal location of He Qiong's satellite phone with an umbrella.

As the rain intensified, an indescribable stench began to fill the air, a mixture of decay and dampness.

"The ghost realm still cannot spread."

After trying several times, Jiang Shan completely gave up the idea of ​​using the ghost realm to devour the spirits.

If it is a ghost that is not very scary and has scattered pieces of the puzzle, he can quickly make a judgment based on the characteristic of the dead-faced ghost that devours the supernatural.

This is the development of ghost abilities.

Because the evil spirits in his body are extremely balanced, he dares to constantly explore the ghosts' abilities and try different uses.

It's like the ghost realms are connected in a line.

If the ghosts controlled by some people are very terrifying, it means that the lower limit of this ghost controller is very high.

But the upper limit of the ghost rider is

It's not just about how many ghosts you control.

It also depends on the development of ghost abilities.

Even though Tong Qian's crying and laughing faces were all in a state of panic, her abilities were obvious to all.

Yang Jian's Ghost Eye discovered a series of ghost domain characteristics such as stillness and restart during repeated development.

The stench in the air became stronger and stronger, and Jiang Shan had already arrived at the source of the signal.

A fountain in a community park.

The fountain has stopped functioning normally because it has not been operated for a long time.

Jiang Shan looked around but found no trace of the satellite phone, so he looked at the source of the signal again.

Sure.

"It seems that this is the entrance to the ghost town." Jiang Shan thought to himself.

There was a lot of rain water in the not-so-shallow pool of the fountain, and under the impact of the heavy rain, countless ripples appeared on the entire water surface.

In the reflections of the ripples, Jiang Shan saw a blurry, dilapidated rural town that looked like a town from the 1970s and 1980s.

Without hesitation, he threw the golden bullet in his pocket.

The imagined scene of the bullet falling to the bottom of the pool did not appear.

Even this specially made golden bullet seemed to be disturbed by the supernatural.

It seemed as if another world was hidden under the clearly visible fountain. The moment the bullet touched the water, it disappeared in the ripples.
Then a strong stench came from the pool.

"It seems that the method of marking the location is not applicable here. My guess is correct. Rain is indeed a medium, but the patter of rain cannot trigger a certain pattern of this ghost. Instead, it must reach a certain scale. This ghost rain is somewhat similar to a ghost dream."

When Yang Jian was suppressing Gui Meng's corpse, the ghost in Gui Meng invaded reality through the rain and prepared to kill Yang Jian.

So Jiang Shan kept holding an umbrella and paying close attention to the changes and abnormalities in the rain around him.

But nothing strange happened along the way.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Shan slowly extended his hand towards the pool of water. Since he had decided to deal with this supernatural incident, he would definitely take responsibility to the end.

This is not an overflow of Madonna's heart,

But in this world, selfishness may allow one to survive for a long time.

With Jiang Shan's current condition, he can live for five or even eight years without frequently using evil spirits.

As a time traveler, Jiang Shan knew exactly how the plot would go next.

But not to mention that all kinds of unknown changes have already occurred in this world, it is still unknown what will happen in the supernatural circle in the future.

Just because he is a ghost rider, even the top ghost rider of this era.

With this identity, it is difficult for him to remain immune.

If you don't experience many supernatural events, try to find and control a ghost that is more compatible with you.

There is no way out if you just live a life of mediocrity.

Dealing with the "Ghost Town in the Rain" is not only because of the identity of the minister, but also Jiang Shan is looking for a way out and a future for himself.

"I lost feeling in my fingers."

A strong stench came from the pool, and Jiang Shan found that the whole world was upside down. All the surrounding scenery was like ripples in the pool, shaking and fluctuating in his eyes.

As the fluctuations around became larger and larger, until a certain moment.

Everything changed before my eyes.

A street appeared in front of Jiang Shan.
