Wear a Thriller To Protect the Boss - Chapter 72
Yue Ye is indeed not very smart.
This idea has appeared in Huo Yinting’s mind more than once. She suspects that the problems she will face in this task are not given by others, but given by the target object she wants to protect.
For example, now, she originally wanted to keep Yue Ye from the ghost book to catch him, so as not to put him in a dangerous situation, but he himself followed up with his fingerprints, and the two became grasshoppers on a rope again.
Yue Ye saw her dissatisfaction, and he explained with a very good temper: “Miss Huo, don’t be nervous, after all, I am from the Yue family, and I am quite capable.”
“Okay, I understand.” Huo Yinting’s face was expressionless, “but when you say this, Mr. Yue, can you not tremble in your voice?”
“…” Yue Ye was a little embarrassed, “I’m sorry, I’m just wondering what the **** is this place.”
It is true that the place where he and she are currently located is indeed a real “ghost place”.
This is a deserted city, looking at the intricate streets and row upon row of buildings, it seems to be a miniature version of the x city. But the difference is that everything here is dilapidated, gray, and decayed, with faint green light and shadow floating on all sides, and the full moon in the sky has also turned into a **** dark red color.
The whole city feels like a huge tomb.
Huo Yinting sighed in annoyance: “This is the world of Infernal Ghost Book, right? Like the four, we were sucked in after pressing our fingerprints.”
“I have an impression of this.” Yue Ye stared at the front, thinking hard, “In my grandfather’s memoirs, it seems that it has been recorded that this kind of scene is called…’Raging City’ in the industry.”
“The raging city?”
“Yes, it is the scene that ghosts use resentment and hostility. Unless we destroy the center of power gathering, we can’t get out and can only die here-and our death will be automatically projected into reality. “
This also explains how the previous college students died. They are probably all killed by ghosts in this raging city after being sucked into the ghost book. In reality, the police found them broken The corpse, but so far has not been able to locate the murderer.
“We may have time to save those four people.”
Huo Yinting glanced at Yue Ye: “It is more important for you to protect yourself first.”
She is not so fraternal, just want to complete the task and start the way to find Pei Yi in another world. So compared to saving the four college students who died, protecting the safety of the target is the most important thing.
Yue Ye smiled: “I feel like I’m okay.”
“Is it okay? I think you are quite scared.”
“It’s really a little bit afraid to talk about it.”
“…”
Huo Yinting didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
The two of them crossed the street in front of them along the cracked stone road. There was a gust of wind on the road, and there was a disgusting smell of stench and sour. They had been drilling into their noses, and it became more and more dense, which was disgusting.
Yue Ye retched, took out a mask from his pocket, and asked Huo Yinting politely: “Miss Huo, do you want it?”
“…No, you can wear it.”
Huo Yinting just wanted to remind him that he must hold his pistol called “Thunder in the Palm”, but before he spoke, he heard a girl scream not far ahead.
She grabbed Yue Ye’s hand and rushed away quickly.
When I ran closer, it turned out that it was the four brainless college students, and it was the pink-haired girl who screamed just now.
Fen Mao was crying tremblingly: “I just saw a ghost in white clothes floating past, her face covered with blood, right over there!”
“Fuck, don’t scare people.” The boy in black was also excited when he heard that, “I’m right next to you, why didn’t I see it?”
“Do I have to lie to you? We are all in this kind of ghost place. What else do you think is impossible?”
“…”
The boy in a checkered shirt sighed inexplicably: “You had to come to the library to explore at the beginning. At that time, you were the most enthusiastic, and now you are the one who screams loudest.”
With tears in her eyes, Fenmao yelled at him grievously: “Can you blame me? Didn’t you all agree afterwards? If you don’t want to, go back!”
“How do I go back? Who knows if I can go back in here.”
“Okay, stop arguing.” The short-haired girl said in a deep voice, “It seems that the strange man and woman said it is true. We really hit a ghost. This is a ghost book.”
“Congratulations, IQ has finally returned to the high ground.”
The sudden Qingyue female voice shocked all four of them, and then they saw the figures of Huo Yinting and Yue Ye appearing in sight.
The boy in black was surprised: “Why are you here too?”
Yue Ye replied solemnly: “Come to rescue you.”
“Only the two of you? Can you find a way out?”
“That really may not be found.”
“…”
Huo Yinting greeted the other party’s suspicious gaze, calmly pulled Yue Ye behind him, and calmly said: “Or you don’t trust us and like to find the way on your own. We don’t have any objections, just listen and respect.”
“…” All four of them hesitated, it was obvious that they didn’t have this ability.
Pink Mao stomped her feet anxiously: “It’s better to have someone help than no one? Besides, they reminded us not to press our fingerprints just now. I don’t see a dead horse as a living horse doctor!”
For the analogy of “a dead horse as a living horse doctor”, Huo Yinting can only say that a dignified college student is not necessarily more educated. She glanced at Fenmao and turned around lazily.
“Then follow up, I am not responsible for the lagging behind.”
After getting along for half an hour, Huo Yinting also learned the real names of these four people during the little chat between Yue Ye and the other party.
The pink hair is called Qian Duoduo, the girl with short hair is called Zheng Ling, the boy in checkered shirt is called Jiang Wen, and the boy in black is called Yang Chenguang.
They are all members of the detective club of the school, although Huo Yinting does not understand the significance of setting up such a second-level club in the school. In short, the bronzing card this time was placed in the classroom where their club was meeting. Other members thought it was a prank. It didn’t take it seriously, only the four of them were interested, plus Qian Duo Duo’s frustration, they rushed to die.
Relying on the memory of this city, Huo Yinting walked all the way to the south, towards the south of the city library. She always felt that since the ghost books are in the library, then this raging city built by fierce ghosts should have the same place. It’s special.
With the passage of time, the cold wind on all sides has become even worse. It is obviously the early autumn season, but now it is like a cold winter.
Qian Duoduo only wore a thin autumn coat. She trembling in her arms, couldn’t help complaining: “Can we walk from the mall? At least it’s still warm inside.”
After a while, seeing that no one expressed objections, she quickly wrapped her coat tightly and ran into a shopping plaza on the right.
She ran in a hurry until she was blocked by something, and she felt as if she had hit a wall.
She looked up panicked, and strangely, there was nothing in front of her.
The lights in the lobby of the mall flickered dimly, and for a moment, the air seemed to be filled with tiny ripples, layer after layer, blurring her vision.
The chill came on her face, and she took a step back nervously, shocked to find that a familiar humanoid silhouette appeared in front of her. It was just…
It was the woman in white that she saw on the street not long ago.
The woman’s white dress was in tatters, and her long hair was like a spirit-waving flag dancing with no wind. Her pale face was covered with interlaced bloodstains, her eyes were convex, and blood was still oozing out of her eye sockets. A pair of skinny hands that exposed their cuffs, only the **** skeletons were left, stretched out towards her exactly and pinched her neck fiercely.
The corner of the female ghost’s mouth was like a bright red crack, almost connected to the back of her head, showing a terrified smile.
His throat was strangled, and the suffocation came like a tide. Qian Duoduo pushed his legs hard, struggling desperately.
Help…Help…
Other people who entered the mall immediately followed and saw Qian Duoduo from a distance, and found that she was lying on the ground, pinching her neck with both hands, wriggling crazily in a strange posture.
“Duo Duo!” Zheng Ling, a short-haired girl, rushed forward, anxiously trying to break her hand, “What are you doing? Let go!”
Seeing that Zheng Ling was not strong enough, Jiang Wen and Yang Chenguang also rushed to help. The three of them worked together and finally broke Qian Duoduo’s hands forcibly.
“Qian Duo Duo! Are you evil?!”
Qian Duoduo’s mind seemed to be awake a little bit, and she cried hoarsely, “It’s… that female ghost, she wants to strangle me, she wants to strangle me!”
Jiang Wen was puzzled: “But just now, you obviously pinched yourself.”
“…Don’t you guys see it?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“I didn’t see anything.”
Qian Duoduo fell silent, she sat on the cold floor with her knees trembling.
“In fact, it’s normal if you haven’t seen it.” Huo Yinting said calmly. “The reason ghosts are ghosts is that they have the ability to hallucinate the target.”
Yue Ye also nodded in agreement.
Yang Chenguang said anxiously: “Then what are you two doing in a daze? Hurry up and find a way to catch ghosts!”
“You can’t catch ghosts casually. It’s hard for me if the other party doesn’t show up.” Yue Ye said slowly, “I can only try.”
“… Then you can try it?”
Yue Ye nodded, touched it from his arms for a long time, and finally took out a blank talisman paper. He cruelly bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
He folded the talisman paper into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, because one of the wings was not folded properly, so he fold it again.
Huo Yinting pushed his shoulders: “It’s almost there, you don’t need to keep improving so much.”
“Oh.”
Yue Ye let the paper cranes fly, and saw the paper cranes circle around the hall, flying upstairs.
“My paper crane can sense the position of Yin Qi.”
Zheng Ling hesitated: “So, we have to follow it now to find ghosts?”
“Don’t you want me to catch ghosts?” Yue Ye was very innocent. “The decision is up to you, but I do want to see – Miss Huo, are you going?”
Huo Yinting squinted at him: “Do you want me to follow?”
“After all, I don’t dare to myself.”
“…Okay, let’s go.”
Seeing that they turned around, the other four people felt that it was not safe to stay where they were, so they pulled up Qian Duoduo, who was paralyzed on the ground, and eagerly followed.
Qian Duoduo’s footsteps were vacant, and she staggered a bit when she went up the steps. Her eyes were red, and she felt dry and painful in her throat, like a fire burning and desperately needing water to moisturize.
She whispered: “Lingling, I’m thirsty…”
“I’m thirsty, too.” Zheng Ling sighed, “but you can’t find water now, please bear with me.”
Qian Duoduo looked around blankly, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to the place near the railing on the second floor: “There is water!”
She was referring to the cistern on the second floor where musical statues were placed.
Zheng Ling frowned: “The water there is not clean, so you can’t drink it casually.”
But Qian Duoduo seemed to be inaudible, and immediately threw away her hand and hurriedly ran towards the reservoir.
“…Duo!” Zheng Ling was too late to stop, and hurriedly chased after her, “I told you that you can’t drink!”
When the others heard the sound, they stopped and looked back.
Yang Chenguang wondered: “What is Qian Duoduo doing?”
Jiang Wendao: “It seems…want to drink water?”
While talking, Qian Duoduo had already ran to the cistern, leaned in half of his body, splashed water with his hands to wash his face, and drank several guts by the way.
An unknown warning arose spontaneously. Huo Yinting grabbed Yue Ye backhand and asked in a low voice, “What are the rules in the raging city? Can the water here be drunk casually?”
Yue Ye walked towards Qian Duoduo, he also seemed very hesitant: “I haven’t heard of this rule, but… generally no one would dare to drink the water here.”
Unless it’s an evil.
Before the words fell, Qian Duoduo suddenly shook all over, and then jumped up like crazy.
She fell to the ground, scratching her face and throat with both hands. She rolled back and forth a few times, her body suddenly curled up into a ball, and after a long while, traces of green smoke came out of her body.
Soon, she stopped struggling violently, leaving only her dying muscle twitches.
Zheng Ling screamed: “Duo Duo!”
When Qian Duoduo’s body slowly unfolded like a dead hedgehog, not only Zheng Ling, but also the two big boys Jiang Wen and Yang Chenguang couldn’t help but scream in exclamation, retreating subconsciously, almost vomiting.
Qian Duoduo’s head was bloody, and it was still churning with red bubbles, quickly dissolving.
Her throat had been burned through, and thick blood was gurgling outward, and the front of her light-colored coat became scorched and smoked, and was stained red with blood from the inside out.
Yue Ye couldn’t see this horrible picture, and his legs were soft in shock. Fortunately, Huo Yinting was beside him and helped him in time.
Huo Yinting frowned. She looked up and saw the musical statue suddenly snapped from the middle and fell into the pool.
With the weird sound of “hissing”, the statue was easily dissolved into charred remains.
“All back.” She took a deep breath, her expression solemn, “This is not water, it’s a pool of strong acid.”
