Chapter 236

Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan were busy traveling all over the country, often rushing to another place just after solving one problem. Because Wen Zheng drove the ghost ship back and forth in the ghost domain too many times, when Wen Zheng didn't know, all the intelligent ghosts in the ghost domain knew that there was a new ghost king, and even other ghost kings had heard of it.

Before the "new ghost king" aroused the interest of other ghost kings, the most dangerous July finally passed, and the seventh month of the lunar calendar had a new name in people's mouths, called the ghost month.

The space-time barrier between the human world and the ghost domain has become less easy to open, but compared with the same time last year, it has become much thinner.

Thinking of the five-year time limit required for this disaster mission, perhaps after five years, the space-time barrier between the two worlds will completely disappear, and there will be three years for them to solve this problem.

The war has ended, and the post-war inventory is inevitably sad. Nearly half of the soldiers fighting on the front line were killed or injured, 10% of them died, 30% were seriously injured, and the remaining 20% ​​were slightly injured, but they still needed to be carefully recuperated to avoid sequelae.

Ordinary people were heavily protected, but it was inevitable that evil spirits broke out of the defense circle and caused casualties. The number of casualties among ordinary people was relatively small, but most of them knew that they could not blame the country. Only a very small number of them cursed the country for not being able to protect them, and cried for compensation, but they did not cause much trouble, and the people around them could not bear to see it and suppressed it.

At this time, they are still making trouble. Do you have a conscience?

"... In this battle, a total of deaths..." The country released the death list three days later. They were all heroes who fought to protect the people. The whole country fell into great mourning. On the day when the heroes left, countless people took to the streets to send them off for the last time.

There has not been such a large number of deaths in hundreds of years. Those who originally had metaphysical talents but did not study hard began to work hard. Young people of appropriate age took the initiative to sign up for the army. Those who were still able to work joined the volunteer team in their spare time to help the government clean up the battlefield and rebuild their homes.

Under the guidance of the country, the atmosphere among the people slowly turned from sadness and depression to tenacity and struggle.

In the mountains and forests of Panshan County, the atmosphere was particularly heavy. All the personnel at the scene had experienced fighting, but after seeing the large pieces of bones dug out by the excavator, they could not suppress their anger.

In the seemingly ordinary mountains and forests, there were large pieces of bones buried in the land. It was not the local graves that were dug up, because there was no normal grave without coffins, and there were only the bones of women and children. Just looking at the appearance of these bones, it can be judged that the burial time is very different. This has accumulated over several years. Many women and a small number of children have scars of being cracked or even broken.

Everyone has guessed the cause of this situation.

The special task force sent by the country began to investigate, and the local government actively provided relevant clues.

As expected, Panshan County was once the nest of several trafficking gangs. It is located in the mountains, poor and backward. I don’t know when it started to embark on the sinful road of trafficking. Women and children are their targets. They are first taken back to Panshan County. Once they enter the villages covered by mountains and forests and with rugged mountain roads, it is difficult to escape.

Some of the trafficked women and children stayed in Panshan County, and some were sold to other places. During the trafficking process, the traffickers did not pay too much attention to the condition of the goods. In order to reduce the attention of others, they rarely went to the hospital. If the goods were sick, they would just give them some medicine. If they survived, they were lucky. If they couldn’t, they would be brought back and buried in the mountains.

There are also those who survived at first, but were left in the mountains. In the following days, they could not endure the abuse. They committed suicide, were abused, escaped and were caught. Every year, the women and children who died were buried in the mountains, and then new ones were kidnapped from outside.

Over the past decade, crimes in Panshan County have continued to grow. Until recently, the country has increased its efforts to combat trafficking. With careful planning, a trafficking gang was traced and a huge trading network was uncovered, in which Panshan County existed. However, before the police found this place, the ghost domain came.

Those who were upset at the beginning for not protecting the ordinary people of Panshan County now have no guilt, and even feel a little uncomfortable that their teammates lost their lives to protect these scum.

"It was their defense that weakened the power of the ghost mother and helped me eliminate the ghost mother, so that the situation did not evolve to a more serious level." Wen Zheng comforted softly.

"Some of these bones were not buried here before, but were moved here about a month ago. There are also objects buried in the soil that look like magic tools. The buried location has been marked on the map, and it is suspected to be some kind of formation."

"The source of the baby corpses has not been found out yet. Now we are fully investigating all the traces of activities of all Panshan County residents in the past three months."

It is difficult for ordinary people to get so many baby corpses. In a world where ghosts exist, so many bones are buried together and a formation is set up. Could it be that this group of human traffickers are looking for death?

They are really looking for death. There are not many people alive in a town.

There must be some special reason.

The country did not notice them before, so they escaped. Now it requires a detailed investigation. All relevant departments cooperate unconditionally. It can really investigate things that you have forgotten.

Countless traces were gathered together, and the people who moved out of Panshan Town in the past year were also found out and questioned one by one. At first, some people concealed something, but in the end they honestly confessed all the situations.

The adults in Panshan Town basically knew where the women and children who appeared every year came from, but they were either the beneficiaries or they did not dare to offend the interests of too many people and kept silent. But when the world changed drastically, several ghost gates appeared in Panshan County, and many people died at that time. In the end, the master of metaphysics who was sent by the state and did not know the situation eliminated the evil ghosts.

This year has passed, but what about the next year? They know that they have done evil things that deserve hell. There were no ghosts before, but now there are ghosts, so they are scared. They are afraid that the ghost gate will open again in July of the next year, so they are thinking about moving. Few people moved away first, and some dragged it to the second half of the year, and suddenly they didn’t move again.

The people who moved away first had contacted the people who stayed in the village and vaguely learned that a master who could help them solve the problem came to the town. Not only was there no danger, but there would be benefits. However, when asked for details, the other party refused to tell them.

The so-called master should be the key figure in the Panshan Town incident, but most of those who knew about this master were dead. It would take time to continue the investigation. The state sent people to continue the investigation. Those who moved out of Panshan Town and thought they had escaped a disaster could not be let off. The law does not lose its effectiveness because of the appearance of ghosts. After the investigation is clear, all those who participated in human trafficking will get the judgment they deserve.

The incident in Panshan Town has not been fully investigated. The state suspects that there are many masters who have taken the crooked path hiding among the people, secretly deceiving ordinary people and making trouble. It is planning to conduct a census registration of metaphysical people across the country, and then issue formal identity certificates. Trouble is coming again.

Large-scale illnesses began to occur across the country. The hospital could not find the cause, but metaphysical people still saw it. People who survived the ghost month safely could not escape the Yin Qi entering their bodies.

There were too many people injured and recuperating during the Ghost Month, and then there was a collective illness caused by the influx of Yin Qi. There were also many evil ghosts that escaped during the Ghost Month and needed to be captured and eliminated. There was a serious shortage of manpower for patrolling everywhere, and local governments could only arrange to draw some manpower from ordinary police officers.

Xiao Fang was assigned to the emergency team during the Ghost Month, and they were responsible for intercepting the evil ghosts that were released by the defense circle. His team eliminated evil ghosts several times and performed well throughout the process, so Xiao Fang was brought up this time when they were short of manpower.

Handing over the work at hand to his colleagues, Xiao Fang went to the warehouse of the bureau to collect the equipment with trembling hands, and got on the car as soon as he went out.

Captain Liu, who was in charge of the supernatural affairs in their area, asked Xiao Fang to review how to use the weapon in his hand, and said: "Don't be nervous. According to the situation described by the person who called the police, the level of the evil ghost he saw should not be very high, and it will not be more dangerous than the evil ghost you dealt with during the ghost month."

"I was just a little excited, and I will adjust myself in a while, and I will ensure that I will not drag the team down."

The vehicle will soon reach a pond that is about to dry up. It is said that someone saw a human-shaped black fog here, but did not dare to approach it. He called the police after bypassing it from a distance. This time, the small pond far away from the city was very messy, surrounded by littered garbage and full of water plants. As soon as you get off the car, you can smell the unpleasant smell.

But no matter how dirty and messy it is, they did not see the evil ghost after they arrived, and the concentration of Yin Qi on the detection instrument was less than level 2. Could it be that the evil ghost sensed that they were not opponents, so it ran away or hid.

Captain Liu called two people forward: "First, dispel the surrounding negative energy, and the rest of the heat will continue to be alert."

Before the two of them could take action, changes occurred in the center of the pond. With the sound of gurgling, waves were rippled in the center of the pond, and a black ghost emerged from the pond. The team, which had undergone hard training, moved very quickly. Before the ghost completely emerged, only a head appeared, and the weapons in their hands were already aimed.

Just as the bullet was about to be fired, someone in the team shouted: "Wait a minute."

It was not Captain Liu's voice, and everyone frowned, but still paused the action with trust in their teammates.

After shouting, Xiao Fang knew that his actions were not in compliance with regulations, and he also knew the severity of the current situation. After shouting, he did not waste any time and said what he thought: "The concentration of Yin Qi detected is less than level 2, but the head of this ghost has a clear appearance, which is different from the ghosts in the ghost domain. More importantly, I have seen this face before. Just over a month ago, his family took his photo to the police station to report his disappearance."

There are some things that Xiao Fang did not have time to say. According to the description of the reporter, the missing person had been in this area before he disappeared, but because of the arrival of the ghost month, the police station did not have time to conduct an investigation and it has been delayed until now.

Before he was seconded, he was reading the relevant materials of this missing case and took a few more glances at the photos of the missing person, so he was able to recognize it at a glance in this situation.

When the ghost gate opened for the first time, people, especially scientists, became curious about the existence of evil ghosts. Why had they never seen ghosts before? Could people become ghosts after death? Such questions filled people's minds.

However, later research found that the ghosts they encountered so far all appeared from the ghost domain across space. Humans who died in the battle with evil ghosts did not become ghosts, and the heroic spirits were more like a collection of some kind of consciousness. Therefore, scientists temporarily define ghosts as a unique creature living in another world, but they are similar to the characteristics of ghosts in our legends. In this sense, evil ghosts can be regarded as "aliens".

The appearance of the ghost mother in the ghost month this year broke this statement. The government has not yet made it public to the general public, but those who are fighting on the front line of the battle with evil ghosts know that they have driven baby ghosts to attack, and the baby ghosts are born from the corpses of babies in the real world.

Now facing the situation in front of us, people can't help but speculate, is it possible that living people can become ghosts after death?
