Chapter 124 The Disappearing City

“I don’t know why I can do it.”

Bai Jin followed the leaders out of the school. After getting in the car, the leaders couldn't wait to ask Bai Jinxi questions. Bai Jinxi of course would not tell the truth, but he could still tell them half the truth.

Seeing the leaders look a little disappointed, she continued: "But I really didn't think much about it at the time."

"I just thought there were so many people up there and I had to save them."

"After I went up, I saw a female ghost in red."

"There were many red strings on her hands, and each of the people in chains had a red string wrapped around their bodies."

Bai was just thinking back to yesterday's scene.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar in the car: "You mean, you can see ghosts?"

"The female ghost in red has red threads in her hands. Is this the tool she uses to commit evil?"

"Okay, okay, so according to the people you rescued, you tapped each of them on the shoulder. Did you mean you were patting off the red lines on their bodies?"

The leaders were talking to each other, their eyes burning with passion.

Bai just nodded and said, "Yes."

"I don't know why I can do it, but I have a special feeling that I can break the red thread."

The leaders' eyes brightened even more. They wanted to pat Bai Jian's shoulder, but for some reason they pulled back.

But he still couldn't help but praise: "Great, great, it's true that heroes emerge from youth. Our Fog City is saved."

……

In fact, it was not just a month ago.
Weird things started happening in the Fog City. It should have been a year ago when evil spirits started to hurt people one after another in the Fog City. But at that time, because there were not many cases, they all suppressed them.

And, actively seek help from above.

Not only that, they also specially hired Taoist priests from other places to come to the Fog City to help catch ghosts.

They are very fast,

The Taoists were also very helpful. During this period, the evil spirits behaved themselves for five or six months, and then the Taoists went back.

Only the technical personnel sent from above are still stationed in Fog City, trying to develop some kind of instrument to catch them. They thought it would take a long time, but they did not expect that their counterattack would come so quickly.

The force of the attack caught people off guard.

Bai simply followed the leaders to the Municipal Office and listened to them talk about the causes and consequences of the matter, which was much faster than for her to search for clues on her own.

Therefore,
A strong idea flashed through her mind.

in fact,

Can she cooperate with the NPCs here?
After determining whether they are good or bad... destroying this copy doesn't seem to be that difficult.

Bai just thought about it, touched the three copper coins on her wrist, and quickly made up her mind. So after the leaders finished speaking, she said to them: "By the way, I remembered something very important?"

As soon as this word comes out,
The leaders immediately sat up straight.

"You said."

"I found a peace amulet on the person I rescued yesterday, but it gave me a very strange feeling. It was like... like a amulet that could attract evil spirits."

"What do you mean? The reason why they were attacked by the red ghost was probably because of that talisman?"

This is indeed a very important discovery.

The leader's eyes were filled with solemnity.

Bai simply nodded: "Afterwards, I asked him about it and found out that his talisman was obtained from Jingyuan Temple."

"Jingyuan Temple..."

The leader narrowed his eyes and nodded, "I understand." After that, he made a phone call and asked someone to investigate the matter. Then he looked at Bai Jian with a gentle look on his face, "It's not bad, it seems that there is always a way out, and God still gave us a way to survive."

"Luckily I have you."

Bai just smiled and shook his head: "Mayor, you are too serious, I..."

"It's not serious." The leader shook his head and said, "You don't know how many methods we have used in the past month, but we haven't been able to catch those guys. If this continues, let alone at night, we can't even go out during the day."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone beside him spoke up again: "The signal in Fog City has been intermittent recently. I guess if it continues like this, we may not even be able to contact people in the outside world."

"I recently looked up information and found that in the past hundred years, more than one city has disappeared. All of them disappeared overnight. I guess they had the same experience as us."

The leaders all felt sympathetic when talking about this. In fact, they had thought about running away, but if they ran away, what would happen to the people left behind in this city?
They had taken an oath before taking office.

Set up the heart for the heaven and the earth, set the destiny for the livelihood and the people, for the sacred and inherited knowledge, and for the peace of the world.

Now that you have made a vow, you must keep it.

We must advance and retreat together with the people!!!

Everyone had an expression of being ready to die. Bai was just a little moved by their attitude. After all, during her time as a white lotus, she had also seen many upper-class people who only cared about pleasure. They only cared about themselves and didn't care about the lives of those below them.

Of course, there are many leaders like them.

Bai pursed his lips and smiled sweetly: "Mayor, it is because you love the people like your own children that the heavens were moved and gave me these abilities."

"I believe that as long as you are here, the Fog City will be fine."

Several leaders were secretly furious.

Because Bai Ji's appearance is of great significance,

quickly,

They then brought Bai Jinzhi to the laboratory where they had been conducting experiments for the past year. There were many experimenters in white coats in the laboratory, and each of them looked haggard and tired.

After all, too many things have happened recently.

It is such a heartbreaking thing to watch lives passing away in front of you but be unable to do anything.

Seeing the mayor and others coming,

Only one experimenter came forward to greet them. Although he was a little surprised to see Bai Jizhi, he did not show any extravagant expression.

until--

"Yesterday at the haunted Yunshui Bridge, everyone who got on the bridge jumped down one by one."

"She showed up and saved more than 30 survivors."

"She said that she saw with her own eyes a female ghost in red clothes on the bridge at that time, holding a red string in her hand. The red string in their hands was what was used to tie up the victims."

The leaders briefly recounted what happened yesterday and what Bai had just said.

Subsequently,

Everyone in the laboratory looked at Bai Jinjian, and after a moment, Bai Jinjian was surrounded.

A pair of red eyes looked at her.

"Is what the mayor said true? Can you really see ghosts?"

"What does a ghost look like? Does it float in the air?"

"you……"

Everyone was talking at once, but they were all asking roughly the same question. Bai simply said, "Don't worry, I'll answer them one by one, okay?"
