I set up a shelter organization
Chapter 22: The Resentful Spirit in the Anyang River
"How is that possible? Brother Bai is an S-rank Trickster. He can contain even the kind of weirdness that can destroy an entire city!"
With a semi-complete weird domain, a B-level weird master can carry out the containment mission.
Not to mention an S-level Contract Master, even an A-level Contract Master would be able to suppress this kind of weirdness.
"Well, Bai Zuo's classification is quite special."
Ji Wu was a little embarrassed. Bai Zuo's situation was not a secret in the Yigui Society. Xu Zhou himself was also a contracted person marked by Bai Zuo, and there was a close connection between the two.
The Yigui Society also took Xu Zhou's identity into consideration. Otherwise, given the white left's indifference to life, the Yigui Society would not be willing to hand him over to the charge.
If Ji Wu explains clearly, it will involve the issue of Xu Zhou's identity. Xu Zhou's current mental state is not very stable.
Ji Wu didn't know if telling Xu Zhou now would make Xu Zhou's mental state worse.
Xu Zhou: "Special? But isn't the classification of a Contractor determined by their strength?"
"Yes, that's how it was originally, but Bai Zuo's contract is so special that his S-level isn't actually aimed at monsters, but at... people!"
people?
Xu Zhou was surprised and then suddenly realized.
"It seems you have figured it out."
Ji Wu: "Although the monster he contracted is powerful, it is more effective against humans. He can suppress weaker monsters with his powerful strength. Once he faces a monster of a similar level, he needs a powerful contracted person to fight against it for him, and then he will slowly invade the other party's mind."
Seeing Xu Zhou's frustrated expression, Ji Wu knew that he was overthinking it again. "You are a newcomer, so it's normal that you can't deal with this level of weirdness. Your performance is already much better than most people."
"Once we get out, we'll report to the Deviant Society and ask them to send support."
Xu Zhou forced a smile and replied, "Okay."
Ji Wu walked in front holding the soul lamp.
Xu Zhou kept looking around vigilantly. Hu Xingde was very scared and kept shrinking next to Ji Wu.
Along the way, we didn't encounter any funeral processions or anything unusual, and finally arrived at the abandoned bridge.
Xu Zhou accidentally glanced under the bridge. Under the bridge was a large river surrounding Anyang Island. It was called Anyang River, and the water was clear and fast.
Xu Zhou rubbed his eyes and said, "There seems to be something in the river."
Ji Wu: "Where?"
Ji Wuchao leaned against the bridge and looked down into the river.
The river water is clear, and the objects floating in it can be seen clearly.
All I saw were heads with distorted faces, filled with sorrow, despair, grief and resentment floating on the water, wailing miserably.
Their bodies sank underwater, with only their heads exposed. They were in pain because they were trapped in the river and unable to be reborn.
Just by looking at them, you can feel their deep and strong resentment.
The hairs on Xu Zhou's body stood on end!
Almost immediately, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
"Discipline, discipline supervision."
Ji Wu stopped him and said, "Let's go. Don't look down."
Hu Xingde was much more timid. As soon as he heard it, he knew there was something unclean on the river surface, so he immediately turned his head away and didn't look. If it wasn't difficult to walk with his eyes closed, he wouldn't have dared to open his eyes.
The soul lamp was burning, and the light it emitted illuminated the front in the white fog, and also revealed many hidden monsters.
Along the way, they kept their eyes straight and their ears deaf, even if someone called their names behind them.
Hu Xingde couldn't help but want to look back at first. The call seemed to have an inexplicable attraction that made people want to respond.
Fortunately, Xu Zhou discovered it in time, pulled him and woke him up.
Hu Xingde was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat, and thanked him repeatedly.
Who knows if he will lose his soul here when he turns around like this.
Fortunately, there were no problems on the way across the bridge and I walked out smoothly.
Hu Xingde glanced at the bridge behind him shrouded in white fog, wiped the cold sweat from his head with his hand, and swore in his heart that he would never go near this place again in his life.
He also found his bicycle parked on the side of the road, and hurried over to unlock it, then got on and sat down. "Well, I'll be going home first!"
After saying that, he pedaled away on his bicycle in a hurry and impatiently. He looked like the bicycle was about to spark from his pedaling.
Xu Zhou watched him leave, knowing that he would definitely tell others everything he had experienced when he returned.
However, neither he nor Ji Wu was in a hurry.
First, since he has not experienced these things personally, few people will believe that what he experienced is true. Most people will think that he is telling stories, bragging or boasting.
After Ji Wuyi left there and his cell phone regained signal, he sent the edited text message to the Yiguihui.
Including their experiences and speculations about the strange things.
Next, the Society of the Devians will send a suitably skilled witch to contain the weirdos.
Then, Ji Wu launched another series of life-threatening threats against Bai Zuo, with great anger and the determination to smash the other party's phone.
Xu Zhou's mouth twitched as he watched, and he didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the fire would burn him.
Finally, after making more than twenty calls, the white leftist answered the call.
"Little bastard! If you don't give a proper explanation this time, your self-criticism will be written!"
"Hahahaha! What are you talking about? I can't hear you!"
"Don't pretend you can't hear me! Why is it so noisy over there? Where are you?"
"I'm on Anyang Island! It's so lively here, so many people are playing with lanterns!"
"Wait! Lantern? How did you get in? You have a soul lantern?"
"There's an event going on on Anyang Island. There are a lot of people here. Where there are a lot of people, more evil can gather."
Very good, this is something this guy can do.
Xu Zhou exclaimed while holding his phone: "Supervisor, Anyang Island is holding a famous local event today - the Lantern Festival!"
He handed the phone over, and Ji Wu saw a video playing on the phone. It was the promotional video for the event officially released by Anyang Island.
The Lantern House Festival is a famous memorial activity on Anyang Island. It has been around for a long time, but it is no longer known from which dynasty it was passed down.
The Lantern Festival is mainly dedicated to the King of Hell, in order to accumulate good karma for one's deceased family members so that they will suffer less in the underworld and be reincarnated sooner.
When participating in the Lantern Festival, you need to prepare a lantern and write the afterlife text for your family on it. When participating in the parade, local people will lead the parade through the streets, chanting spells that reach the underground until the oil and candle in the lantern burn out, and the Lantern Festival is over.
"What is the connection between that mysterious domain and this activity?" Ji Wu finished watching the video and searching for some cultural heritage about the Lantern Festival.
Ji Wu didn't say he knew Bai Zuo very well, but after watching him for so long, he roughly knew that Bai Zuo was not as simple as he seemed.
Sometimes an unintentional action can have profound meaning when you think about it later.
