Chapter 7 Wei Jing
To the northwest, in the middle of Longmen Town.
The originally prosperous town became a bit shabby. The newly paved asphalt road was covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. The restaurants on the roadside were empty and the goods in the supermarket were sold out.
Except for the occasional yellow sand blowing in the wind, there was no movement in the whole town, like an empty city.
In just a few days, the once bustling town was abandoned.
In an empty indoor gymnasium in the town, there were more than forty people gathered here, including young and old. Wei Jing was sitting in a corner and resting. Several people in black uniforms were comforting the survivors here.
"Don't ask me again, I don't know!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the crowd who was being questioned shouted out of control. "It was the yellow sand that swallowed them up."
"It's all your fault. It's all your fault for hiding the truth. My wife...my son is dead. It's all your fault!"
The middle-aged man cried loudly as he spoke. He didn't speak in black uniform, but turned around and left silently, asking the next person.
Most of the people in the gym were also moved by the middle-aged man's emotions, and for a while there were cries one after another throughout the gym.
"Sir," a man in black uniform came to Wei Jing to ask for instructions, "Should we continue to ask?"
"Don't ask for now." Wei Jing looked at the time and found that it was already past five o'clock. "Let's give them food. It's time to eat."
"By the way, sort out the inquiry information and give it to me."
As the questioning ended and food was distributed, the mood of the crowd gradually calmed down and the gymnasium became quiet. However, after these two days, they could no longer live a normal life as before.
Wei Jing ate the same bread and water as everyone else, and looked through the records of residents in Longmen Town who were attacked by evil spirits, trying to find the pattern.
He had already read through the information compiled by Li Jun before his disappearance, which described in detail that most people fell down and encountered supernatural attacks while escaping, while a small number were suddenly attacked by ghosts. People who suffered supernatural attacks would quickly turn into deserts. , turned into a pile of yellow sand and blended into this ghostland.
However, a resident who survived later said that he had also fallen and had not been attacked by supernatural beings. According to subsequent investigations, it was found that this kind of thing was not an isolated case.
Therefore, it is not certain that falling down is a condition for Li Gui to kill someone.
Also, he discovered the mysterious source of yellow sand, which is located in the Friendship Park in the northwest corner of Longmen Town. However, it was completely covered with yellow sand. Wei Jing observed it from a distance once, and his intuition told him not to venture in.
But Li Jun, after rescuing most of the residents, rushed in and tried to solve this supernatural incident on his own, but failed and even lost the supernatural item, the will-o'-the-wisp lantern.
Wei Jing gets a headache just thinking about this. If he had the will-o'-the-wisp lantern, he could take all the remaining people in the gym out of the Yellow Sand Ghost Realm right now without having to send them away every day.
It’s just that he is also an ordinary person!
Because he only controlled one evil ghost, the evil ghost in his body recovered very quickly.
Continuously activating the power of the ghost made Wei Jing unable to bear it, and the ghost in his body could no longer be suppressed.
"Li Jun can't be taken care of anymore," Wei Jing sensed his physical condition. He couldn't protect himself now. "Send these people out tomorrow and I will return to the experimental base. Even if the evil ghost revives, they can't be outside."
Wei Jing knew how terrifying a ghost with a ghost realm could be. If it was revived outside, it would be an A-level incident at the very least, and who knows how many people would die.
Returning to the headquarters to undergo the experiment was his only choice. Since he was about to die, he would give it a try and participate in the experiment of controlling the second ghost. Success was good, but failure would still be under the control of the headquarters.
After looking through the inquiry records, Wei Jing found no useful clues. People attacked by ghosts were so strange that he could not summarize the rules.
Only by having direct contact with the ghosts in the yellow sand and feeling their patterns can we discover new clues.
It's just that he is about to wake up as a ghost and has no chance to deal with this supernatural incident.
Fortunately, the killing patterns of Huangsha ghosts are not easy to touch. Until entering the Huangsha ghost domain, Wei Jing has not encountered a murderous ghost. This is why he gathered the survivors in the gym instead of sending them out of Huangsha immediately. The reason for the ghost realm.
"If only the professor were here, he would definitely be able to find the murderous patterns of the ghosts from these records." Wei Jing thought.
Suddenly his satellite phone rang.
Wei Jing picked up the phone and found that the call was from the headquarters. Although he didn't know what it was about, he quickly picked up the call.
"Wei Jing, how's the situation over there?" It was the voice of Wei Jing's operator.
"Everything is normal. We are the last group of survivors in the gymnasium," Wei Jing thought for a while, "Did the headquarters call us with any new information?"
"There is a new situation," Zhao Jianguo grabbed the call, "Professor Wang checked the relevant records. He feels that this supernatural incident is not simple and requires you to act with caution."
"Besides, the professor has a new invention that should be able to help you. However, since it has not been tested, the detailed data is not clear. The information will be sent to your satellite phone, so remember to check it."
Wei Jing was very happy to hear Zhao Jianguo's words. At this time, he happened to have some questions.
"Is the professor here? I have something to ask him."
"I'm here." Wang Xiaoming's plain voice came from the microphone.
After hearing Wang Xiaoming's voice, Wei Jing felt relieved. As Wang Xiaoming's bodyguard, he believed in Wang Xiaoming's ability. In his opinion, Wang Xiaoming was the hope to completely solve the supernatural.
"Professor, I have collected many cases of attacks by the Yellow Sand Ghost, but I can't analyze the killing pattern from them. I hope the professor can take a look and give me some direction." Wei Jing said as he sent the information in his hand and his own guesses back to the headquarters.
He was originally ready to give up the imprisonment of the Yellow Sand Ghost, but he rekindled his fighting spirit.
After hanging up the call, Wei Jing began to check the information sent by the headquarters. He was very curious about what invention Zhao Jianguo thought could help him.
Reading ten lines at a glance, Wei Jing quickly found the key point...
Ghost exorcist ringtone?
Wei Jing looked down in confusion. When he knew that he could defend against the attacks of the ghosts and there were no side effects, his mouth opened wide enough to fit a duck egg.
Professor Wang is really amazing!
He immediately downloaded the exorcist ringtone sent to the satellite phone and tried to check the detailed information. Strangely, he could not see anything, no size, no duration, only the name of the exorcist ringtone.
On the other side, Wang Xiaoming received the information from Wei Jing, then printed them out one by one, set them up, and found a quiet room to start checking.
With his excellent memory and natural analytical ability, Wang Xiaoming quickly read the key parts of the information.
Leaning on the sofa, Wang Xiaoming activated the ability to awaken his memory, and the information he just saw appeared in front of him one by one.
His brain seemed to have evolved, arranging all the information one by one, and extracting the words that appeared the most times...
Falling, collision, squinting, injury, bruises, eating sand...
Wang Xiaoming instantly found the problem. Most people were attacked by evil spirits after being injured. Although some people were fine after experiencing the same thing, there must be a difference.
Unlike Wei Jing, after Wang Xiaoming made a judgment, he quickly began to dig deep into his own reasoning and would not be disturbed by other information at all.
"Humans usually feel pain and scream after being injured. When the pain reaches a certain level, they will also feel sad, cry, and be afraid."
"The degree of injury also varies. I don't know the specific classification, but it can be simply classified into abrasions, bleeding, fractures, and internal bleeding."
Wang Xiaoming quickly found the key point.
"Is it because the degree of injury is different?"
Wang Xiaoming remembered that the number of deaths in the supernatural incident in Longmen Town was not large, which means that it is not easy to touch the killing rules of evil spirits. Things like making sounds, fear, and crying should not be the conditions for evil spirits to kill.
Thinking of this,
Wang Xiaoming returned to the operator's office and called Wei Jing again.
Dinglingling...
The harsh ringing sounded in the gymnasium, but no one answered it.
The gymnasium, which originally had dozens of people, was unusually quiet, and everyone huddled on one side of the gymnasium.
A faint black mist drifted over from the other side, and everyone just covered their mouths and noses tightly, not daring to speak, even the few people in black uniforms did the same, and they didn't dare to approach the mist even if they heard the ringing of the mobile phone.
All they could do was look at the depths of the fog with an ugly expression. That was where Wei Jing rested. It was fine originally, but suddenly a black fog came out from there.
At this time, the black uniforms thought they were going to die. The leader was obviously about to revive. They vaguely saw a path winding through the fog.
Suddenly, the phone ringing stopped, the black fog began to dissipate, and the path that had just appeared seemed like an illusion.
"Sorry, there was a little accident just now." Wei Jing's slightly trembling voice came from a distance.
When everyone heard Wei Jing's voice, they put down their hanging hearts. Several people in black uniforms came forward to check, "Sir, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I can still hold on." Wei Jing, who had just taken control of his body, was sweating profusely. The closer he was to the revival of the spirit, the more the ghost rider could feel the powerlessness in the face of the spirit.
Seeing that Wei Jing had indeed recovered, the black uniforms breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the crowd to comfort others.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Wei Jing called the headquarters.
"Wei Jing, are you okay? Why didn't you answer the phone just now? Did something happen?" As soon as the call was connected, the operator asked a series of questions.
"It's okay, it's just that a supernatural thing went out of control just now, and I solved it." Wei Jing pretended to be relaxed, but only he knew how dangerous it was just now. It seems that even if there is no mission, he can't hold on for much longer.
"Can you still hold on? Do I need to replace you?"
"It's okay, I'm familiar with my body."
"If there is any situation, you must report it." The operator said with concern.
"Okay," Wei Jing asked, "Is it Professor Wang who is looking for me?"
"It's me," Wang Xiaoming took over the call, he said without any nonsense, "Based on the information you provided, I think the killing rules this time may be related to injuries."
Wei Jing listened to the voice on the phone and nodded: "In fact, my initial judgment was also injuries, but some people were obviously not injured, but they were also attacked by evil spirits."
"I have an idea about these people, but you need to first determine the location and degree of injuries of those who were injured but not killed by evil spirits."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Wei Jing immediately called a man in black uniform and asked him to collect the information.
This time Wang Xiaoming did not leave, but waited for Wei Jing's information. Not long after, Wei Jing's information came.
