At 10:30 that night, Master Cat and Wang Xu arrived at the entrance of a nearby hospital. Half of the names on the death list had not been crossed out, and the people Elbert was following had not encountered any crisis so far. .
"Hey... what conspiracy do you have? You don't want me to accompany you to see Hualiu disease, do you?" Wang Xu held a lollipop in his mouth, and still never tired of complaining.
Master Cat once again ignored Wang Xu's nonsense like a shield: "I need blood, it's best to come from the same person, and the amount should be large."
Wang Xu took a few steps back: "What do you want to do..."
"Don't play tricks... Of course I don't want your blood, I just want to go to the blood bank of the hospital once."
"Then what should I do? Give you a warning when you threaten the nurse with a knife?"
"You don't need to worry about how I got the blood. You take this backpack and go to the morgue to arrange a ceremony. The materials are all in it. I wrote down the method of placement on a piece of paper. After everything is done, wait for me Just bring the blood."
Wang Xu took the backpack brought by Master Cat. He wanted to ask some more questions, but Master Cat left in a hurry after explaining the matter. He had no choice but to find the morgue by himself.
The hospital is definitely not a place where people can go wherever they want. However, there are usually only one or two administrators on duty in the morgue, so Wang Xu used a very simple method, one elbow to the old man. Knocked out so he wouldn't get in his way.
Wang Xu walked into the mortuary, the place is indeed quite cloudy, and it always makes people feel more chilly than the outside, he walked to a corner of the room, opened the backpack that Master Cat gave him, there were quite a lot of things, fennel, white candles , chalk, some plants that Wang Xu didn't know, and some dead animals that no one could recognize...
In addition to the location and layout of these things, the paper left by Master Cat also stated that a strange pattern should be drawn on the ground. Wang Xu placed these miscellaneous things one by one, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. I have a hunch, thinking that Lord Cat is taking human blood now, it seems that what he is doing at hand is undoubtedly the legendary "magic trick".
A hand was placed on Wang Xu's shoulder, and almost instantly, Wang Xu knew that the owner of this hand was not Master Cat, because there was no warmth in this hand at all.
When Wang Xu turned his head, a big festered face came into view, and the hand on his shoulder was still dripping with pus.
"It's burned like this... which graveyard exploded and blasted you out..."
The ghost opened its mouth wide, and some pus spewed out of its throat: "I'm so miserable~~"
"Damn!" Wang Xu slapped the ghost on the face and pushed it away: "Did you make a mistake? Do you know that my clothes were just washed yesterday? You have saliva and pus. He even ran over to hook his shoulders, is it disgusting to you?"
"I'm so miserable...I'm in so much pain...Help me..." The ghost kept talking and moved closer to Wang Xu.
"This is the lowest-level earth-bound spirit. It suffered too much pain before it died, so you can't pass away. Don't complain about it. This kind of ghost is the most miserable. In fact, it is almost unconscious now." Master Cat That's when he opened the door and walked in.
He took a look at the ceremony that Wang Xu had placed, then knelt down and picked up the chalk to complete the unfinished diagram of Wang Xu.
Wang Xu asked: "Hey... what about this guy?"
"You get it done."
The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched a few times, thinking that if I can figure it out, why would I ask you? In fact, up to now, he has never surpassed a ghost by reciting scriptures seriously. Basically, it either ascended by itself or was killed by him. Looking at this person in front of him, it is really standard that people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, he is so miserable, it seems unkind for you to kill him completely.
But Wang Xu really thought of a way very quickly. He tried to mobilize the power of the master to appease the soul of the person in front of him. Gradually, the wounds on its body disappeared, and the skin returned to its face, and it stopped. Instead of wailing, he stood there calmly without making a sound.
Master Cat stopped what he was doing, looked back at this side, and then said to himself: "It seems that I can do it..."
Wang Xu let out a long breath, he never expected that what he did just now almost exhausted all his mental strength, and at this moment he even felt a little dizzy and about to fall to the ground.
"Thank you, Master, for helping me out of the sea of suffering...Xiaosheng is so grateful..." The ghost spoke in a polite manner, and his clothes didn't look like what people wear today. It seems that his history here is much longer than this hospital.
"Come on... quickly reincarnate and leave, let me rest for a while, don't bother me."
"Master, take care, Xiaosheng will go." The ghost bowed to the ground with a very polite look, and then gradually disappeared.
Wang Xu said: "Hey, tell me, where did someone like him go? Did he go to the so-called 'hell' to report? Or did he go straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department upstairs?"
Master Cat didn't turn his head back, still lowered his head and drew on the ground. He didn't answer this question, because he couldn't say "either to hell or directly to the sea of darkness", so he didn't explain at all, but changed the subject and said: "I dare What's interesting is that you can actually use the power of domination to mend those weak souls."
Wang Xu said boldly: "That is, who am I? We usually hide our strength, and it is only when we encounter things that we show it."
"You're panting so badly, why don't you go downstairs and get some oxygen..."
"Well... I just breathe faster to boost my metabolism..."
Master Cat squatted there and smiled. At this moment, his cell phone rang. He stopped what he was doing, looked at the number, and then answered, "Qi Bing? Could it be that Gao Jian was being chased again?" killed?"
"Yes, there have been a few more accidents since you left, and I blocked them all. However, in the past hour, Death's pursuit has become more and more frequent, and it has become more and more difficult to deal with... So I want to tell you."
Master Cat paused for a few seconds and asked, "According to the current strength, how long do you think you can hold back?"
Qi Bing was silent for a long time: "Huh... Of course... I can keep it going."
Master Cat replied: "Very good, there is a future, continue to wait for my news."
After he finished speaking, he terminated the call, added some last strokes to the formation on the ground with chalk, then stood up, stepped back three steps, and chanted a strange spell that Wang Xu couldn't understand.
After he finished reading, the morgue fell silent, as if nothing had happened, Wang Xu looked around: "Did you fail in the game?"
"Obviously, he didn't fail." A man's voice suddenly came from behind Wang Xu.
Wang Xu turned around, he saw this person in Las Vegas once, and his name should be Vincent.
"I didn't expect that you would come in person..." Master Cat said hello.
Vincent remained the same, his appearance, his smile, his eyes that seemed to control everything: "I suggest you not to do the same ceremony again, it's very dangerous, fortunately I happen to be free, if you change If you are someone else, not only may you not be able to achieve your goal, you may even lose your life."
Master Mao said: "This incident is beyond my control, so I urgently need a high-level demon who knows the truth to answer some of my questions."
Vincent knew what he was going to ask, and he didn't talk nonsense: "The one in your hand is indeed the death list, but its owner has been removed recently."
Wang Xu's eyes widened: "Isn't it? The god of death has been killed? Could it be that Sun Houzi has gone abroad to burn the book of life and death?"
Vincent looked back at Wang Xu, who immediately fell obediently and passed out. He continued, "I'll just tell you these things, he can't listen."
Master Cat laughed dryly: "Anyway, I'm already your substitute team member in Hell, so it doesn't matter if I know more, right..."
Vincent nodded: "That's almost what it means... The thing is, there is only one real god of death, and he is the boss of all gods of death in hell, just like Satan and the Four Horsemen. If it weren't for the apocalypse in the Bible, he It will not, and cannot come to the human world.
And there are a lot of gods of death who are usually active in the world. Generally, in a big city like S City with a population of tens of millions, there should be more than a dozen or even dozens. They are like office workers, holding a list, Run around and make sure those on the list die in time and order.
No matter ordinary people, psychics, superpowers or ghosts can't see those gods of death, only those who are really in the "dying state" can see the existence of gods of death in a very short period of time, that is, they are "destined to leave this world" soul. '
So in the human world, the title of 'Reaper' can be regarded as a profession, and it is a thankless profession. Of course, this profession is not a lifelong profession. Sometimes they will encounter personnel transfers in our place. At this time , there will be vacancies.
The God of Death list is a gift from God, it will never disappear, someone must hold it, then, when the original God of Death leaves, we must send another person to replace him. "
Master Cat interjected: "I see...you have encountered an unexpected personnel change, because this god of death was not transferred by you, but eliminated by others!"
"Yes, but the Death List is not as simple as a notebook. Its existence itself is much higher than the Death, just like the Supreme Lord of the Rings in Lord of the Rings. Even if you throw it into the river, it can Find a way to be found by yourself, because there is a power haunting it in the dark, making it immortal... "
Master Cat asked: "Then it is now looking for its owner like the Supreme Lord of the Rings? But what is the law?"
Vincent replied: "I'm not very clear about this. The last time the God of Death was killed by the forces of the world was hundreds of years ago. There are very few related records, and I did not handle it, but according to my estimation , if it is really looking for an owner, the candidate should be that Gao Jian."
Master Cat thought thoughtfully: "Even if there is no god of death holding it, the people on the list are still dying, which means that it is still operating without its owner... and after we got it, its operation was affected. Interference, I saved nearly a hundred people, seriously interfered with it… so…”
Vincent continued with a smile: "So... it couldn't wait to take the next name on the list as a candidate, and started the test... Hehe, you are really good."
They looked at each other and smiled, and they got this inference almost at the same time, Vincent continued: "Then, the criterion is probably that if Gao Jian can persist until midnight under the increasingly frenzied pursuit, he will have The qualifications for holding this list, and the other people on today's list were also saved by the birth of Gao Jian, the new god of death. As for Gao Jian, his mission from now on will become to ensure that more people go to the hospital on time. Death... huh, interesting causality."
Master Mao let out a long breath: "It seems that this Gao Jian is destined to say goodbye to us forever."
Vincent smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of him in the future." He snapped his fingers while talking, Wang Xu on the ground gave a pat and gradually regained consciousness.
Master Mao said seriously: "Before you leave, I have one last question."
Talking between smart people is very easy. Vincent already knew the problem of Master Cat, and he smiled as if he came here: "Yu Xin once joined an organization composed of marginal people, and Ruan Da was also a member of that organization. , and the leader of that organization may be the strongest descendant of the Guigu Sect so far, even more powerful than Wu Guangzong."
Although Master Mao appeared calm on the surface, he was shocked in his heart. Uncle Wu's strength was comparable to that of Song Emperor Yu An, who was the strongest among the ten kings of Hades. Find a few who are a little bit stronger than him, I am afraid that there are only commanders of various forces in the Yin-Yang world...
"So... this person who can find out and kill the god of death who can't be seen by ordinary people, psychics, or even ghosts, who is stronger than Fengxian?"
Vincent's figure gradually disappeared, and he finally just smiled and said: "This kind of thing, before they fight, who can know..."
