On the seventh day after the evaluation meeting, Chen Lu received a message from Wang Ren.
Congratulations Chen Lu! You have now become a quasi-level three ghost slayer! Today, I took the time to come to the Security Bureau to claim the reward for the mission of Day Xiao Village.
Chen Lu thought to himself, the reward was finally implemented, and now he has nothing to do, so he sneaked out through the back door of the classroom, handed over a special car, and headed to the Wind City Federal Security Bureau.
Two hours later, Chen Lu arrived at the Federal Security Bureau.
Chen Lu walked into the Federal Bureau with ease, and opened his mouth to say hello, but found that no one paid any attention to him.
All the staff had nervousness and anxiety on their faces, and they walked fast, busy with their own affairs.
Has this happened again
Chen Lu's heart sank. This means that someone has been victimized again...
This time, Wang Ren didn't come out to wait for Chen Lu, so Chen Lu took the elevator to Wang Ren's office by himself.
Chen Lu stood at the door of the office and heard the conversation inside.
"Currently, the number of victims has reached fifteen...and that does not include the undiscovered dead..."
"Investigate, continue to investigate!!"
"All the personnel dispatched and searched the Nancheng District will definitely tell me an accurate number of victims!"
"Then call Kim Jae-in and Wang Xiaoxiao to discuss this incident..."
"yes!"
Answers sounded in unison in the conference room, and then the office door was opened, and several people walked out of the office with serious faces.
After confirming that everyone was gone, Chen Lu knocked on the door and stepped into the office.
"What's the matter? What happened to cause such a mobilization?"
Wang Ren raised his head and glanced at Chen Lu. His dark circles were obvious, and even the stubble of his beard was showing.
"well... ... "
Wang Ren sighed, not knowing where to start:
"An abnormal event warning was received an hour and a half ago, and there were five abnormal events in Nancheng District... ..."
"Forget it, wait for Wang Xiaoxiao to come later, let's talk about it together, it's better to implement your reward now."
"good."
Chen Lu nodded, and took a piece of paper from Wang Ren's hand.
"This time I applied for a high-level ghost for you. I wrote the description of the information on paper. After reading it, I will burn it with fire."
"Don't be too little... Although this ghost is disposable and cannot be recycled, it is also a high-level ghost with powerful functions. The ghost that can really be recycled is almost on the same level as a ghost. Merit is not enough to redeem... ”
"You can also choose to mortgage this ghost to accumulate merit, or exchange it through the ghost organization."
Listening to Wang Ren's explanation, Chen Lu took the piece of paper. All the information was written with a black signature pen.
Advanced Ghost: Stasis Hourglass
A replica of the ghost hourglass, after use, it can stop the actions of ghosts within a certain range, but people are not affected, and the time of stagnation
When the hourglass is completely drained, the hourglass disappears and the use can be interrupted
Note: The ability of the replica hourglass is not complete. If you control the ghost during the period of stagnation, the ghost will recover immediately, but according to the ideal assumption, if you can use the new containment item-blind box to forcibly seal it before recovery, there is a certain room for manipulation.
This replica is special and has the possibility of recovery, please use it with caution
At the bottom of the paper, there is also a vivid depiction of an hourglass, with a phantom of a hand in the center of the hourglass, looming.
Chen Lu looked at these introductions and began to think.
The ability of this hourglass is not bad, but it doesn't work well with his two ghosts, so it can only be regarded as high-quality.
According to the assumption, if you want to use the stagnant hourglass to escape, you have to put the hourglass in place, and it will definitely leak out, which is equivalent to one-time use.
But the peak he can touch now should be just short of this level...
Put it away for now, if you have a chance, go to the ghost organization to have a look, if there is no better one, use it first.
Chen Lu nodded, and returned the paper to Wang Ren, who took out the lighter and burned the paper.
These are the secrets of the Wind City Security Bureau, and only third-level ghost controllers can access them.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoxiao just arrived.
"Director Wang, what do you want me to do?"
"Xiaoxiao, you are finally here... Both of you go to the meeting room with me, Kim Jae-in has arrived."
Wang Ren didn't even explain too much about the ghosts that Chen Lu got, so he led the two of them into the meeting room in a hurry.
But at this moment, a large group of people gathered in the conference room, the conference room was very dark, and each scene was replayed on the screen.
At this moment, the incident of a co-rental woman named Liu Li happened to be broadcast.
The video starts to play Liu Li's self-report.
...
Liu Li sat indifferently on a chair in the interrogation room, staring blankly ahead.
"May I ask... ... "
As soon as she heard the question from the staff, Liu Li interrupted fiercely:
"I didn't kill, I didn't kill, I didn't kill!!"
Liu Li yelled violently. She tore her throat and made an unpleasant sound. After she finished speaking, she was panting violently and her body twitched.
"Not me... not me..."
"Wooooow."
Liu Li's mood swings were very serious. She was yelling like a lunatic just now, and now she suddenly sobbed like a fool.
In the face of such a crazy victim, the interrogation staff still showed their professionalism and continued to comfort, trying to calm the woman's mood.
"Ms. Liu Li, we believe in you...you are a victim and we are helping you solve your problems."
Under the gradual adjustment of the staff, the woman returned to a dazed state.
"Ms. Liu Li, can you hear me now?"
When Liu Li came back to her senses, she brushed her messy hair, then nodded exaggeratedly.
"Yes! Of course I can, you're asking if I can hear you?"
"I can hear it, I can hear it!"
"good."
The staff continued to question.
"So, when did all this happen to you?"
"when... ... "
Liu Li was in a daze, and after thirty seconds passed, she belatedly began to answer.
"Three days ago... I hit a ghost."
"That's an invisible ghost."
"But I know his name."
"His name is Xia."
"I hired a boyfriend on the Internet before... Internet boyfriend, he chatted with me for an hour, I was very happy, and then he said he was coming to me, I said yes."
"Then... there was an invisible person beside me..."
"He killed my roommate, and then put the knife into my hand. It wanted to frame me, and I killed it!!"
"Do you believe me... I really didn't kill..."
Liu Li's emotions began to get a little excited again. She shook the whole table and her body trembled violently.
The staff judged that Liu Li's mood began to fluctuate again, and quickly changed the next topic.
"Okay, it's okay... We know this."
"Now that we are here, don't be afraid..."
"Don't worry, look, aren't you hurt now?"
"Relax, you have been rescued..."
The interview with Liu Li is over, but the video is not over yet.
The video shows the shooting of the scene of the incident.
In the home where Liu Li lives, there is already a smelly corpse. According to identification, she is definitely Liu Li's roommate, Huifang.
But in Liu Li's house... there are still two corpses.
One is her sister and the other is her colleague.
they are all dead...
But Liu Li no longer remembers because she has gone crazy.
Everyone who was close to Liu Li died.
Only Liu Li was left.
...
The videos were played in turn. Liu Li was not the only one who suffered such mental destruction. There were also four other victims. They did not call the police, but they were suspected victims who were found through the staff's carpet investigation.
The corpses in their homes all died at different times, but some have been there for a certain period of time.
This is the number of victims who have been found, and the search activity is still increasing, and the number may increase further.
Wang Ren explained in a low voice:
"If Liu Li hadn't called the Security Bureau at the beginning, we might have had to delay our discovery even further."
Wang Ren felt guilty. In fact, people who had experienced similar situations called the police, but they were misjudged as not suffering from supernatural events...
It is conceivable how desperate she was when she was misjudged.
"Of course, in order to make a final decision and judge that this incident is a supernatural event, we invited three ghost masters to conduct judgment and analysis to determine whether there is really a ghost."
"It must be confirmed what type of ghost this is... What is the ghost's intention, why does it only kill the people around it and not the victims?"
"It's not good, it's not good!"
There was a sudden exclamation from outside the door, and a young man broke into the meeting room, but no one accused him, and the situation was even more important now.
"It's not good... the first victim we found, Wu Zisang... died."
"Cause of death—suicide."
