Chapter 88: Pay money to publish, you report that I was hit by a bus?
Zhang Hao did not care about the reactions of all parties.
After dealing with Nie Yingping and several people who were paying attention to the ghost bride, Zhang Hao left Dadong City with the bride.
It no longer makes sense for Zhang Hao to continue to stay in this city.
He is not one of those evil ghosts who completely follows the rules of killing. There is no need to stay in this city all the time.
Of course, it's worth mentioning.
After the Ghost Bride generated a sufficient number of ghost paintings, Zhang Hao buried two of them deep underground in the east and west of Dadong City respectively.
In order to prevent something like Mr. Qin from happening again in the future, this is a back-up for myself.
As Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride left, the gray sky continued to fall with paper dust floating into the distance.
In the city, Yang Jian and others gathered together breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that scary thing finally gone?"
Wang Chaling looked at the city with lingering fear. Although the ghost had disappeared, the colorless city could no longer regain its color.
Zhang Hao is afraid of the Wang family generation and is unwilling to take risks. Why isn't Wang Chaling afraid of being killed directly?
The entire city was affected by this incident and turned into a dead city.
"Yang Jian, Wang Chaling, how is the situation in Dadong City?"
As soon as Gui Xie disappeared, a call came from the headquarters.
"The problem is very serious. The red and white demons left for unknown reasons, but the whole city has now lost its color."
Wang Chaling said in a low tone: "And now the city There are almost no traces of living people inside.”
Hearing this, Cao Yanhua’s face froze.
The city has lost its color and there are still dead people. I’m afraid Daito City will be scrapped from now on, right?
"Immediately arrange for people to investigate the population loss in Dadong City." Cao Yanhua said solemnly.
"Wang Chaling, you should pay more attention to the situation in Dadong City during the recent period. If the city's losses are too serious, then go and settle in other cities."
"I know. "Yes." Wang Chaling's tone was a little low.
The current situation in Dadong City is no longer habitable. Even he does not have the courage to continue living in such a terrifying and terrifying city.
Although logically speaking, after the ghost paintings were covered by the ghosts, all the wandering ghosts in Dadong City should have been taken away.
Apart from the ghosts in the Wang family's ancient residence, there should be no other serious ghosts in the city.
But just looking at this city, Wang Chaling could not help but think of everything that happened today.
Time passed slowly. After a day of investigation, the population loss of Dadong City was revealed.
However, the strange thing is that the headquarters files only record the original population of Dadong City, and there is no record of who these people are.
Logically speaking, even if a small part of a city's population has not been recorded in time, most of the people should have been recorded.
But in this supernatural incident, the vast majority of people who died seemed to have been forgotten by people and did not remember such a person at all.
If they hadn't found many black and white portraits during their investigation in the city, they might not have known that such a person had died in this city.
"Maybe this is the ability of that ghost." Wang Xiaoming said, staring at the blank file in the file bag.
“The red and white demons not only got ghost paintings, but also got some kind of special supernatural power.”
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoming raised his head and looked at the display screen: “Maybe it’s the ghost painting that makes The whole city turned into black and white power.”
"What do you mean?" Cao Yanhua asked confused.
"There is a folk saying about the red and white evil spirits. The red evil spirit always represents happiness, and the white evil spirit represents mourning."
"And the white evil spirit, the red and white evil spirit, now It’s probably the source of the color that makes the city lose its color.”
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoming clicked on the computer a few times, and several black and white photos appeared.
“Look, these dead people all left behind a black and white photo. To some extent, is there some connection between this and Bai Sha?”
Hearing this, Cao Yanhua raised his head and said solemnly: "Professor Wang, are you talking about the situation where all the people who died left behind their portraits?" Leave the portrait." Wang Xiaoming nodded.
“Perhaps this is why we lose the memories recorded by the people in these portraits.”
“After a person dies, all his social relationships disappear, and people can only Remember him when you see his portrait."
Hearing this, Cao Yanhua shook his head; "Li Gui is always looking for the puzzle, even if he kills, it is to find the puzzle."
"What can these portraits represent?"
Although this explanation made sense, he couldn't understand what it meant.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming shook his head: "Perhaps it is to get more portraits."
"The red and white evil spirits are really incomprehensible. Why can such evil ghosts appear? It stands to reason. The two ghosts are now in complete conflict.”
The law of killing in ghost paintings is to be recalled and seen, but this portrait will make people forget the dead.
There are also white things and red things, which should be two completely conflicting concepts.
Half a day later, ZS City.
Two months later, Zhang Hao once again brought the ghost bride to the city.
But this time Zhang Hao did not let the Ghost Bride use the Ghost Devil, nor did he affect the city.
For now, the noise they have made is big enough. If they continue to make trouble, it will easily attract the attention of some elderly people.
Although, judging from Yang Jian's status as an alien, those old people should be almost dead by now.
But to be on the safe side, Zhang Hao still didn’t plan to make too much noise.
After all, the last living old man among the seven elders seems to have a somewhat different philosophy from the others.
The other six people all insisted on not helping the newcomers, but the old man gave some help to the new era ghost masters.
Walk to the front of the Caesar Hotel.
The hotel had undergone some changes from when I left. The walls, windows, and even some ventilation ducts had been completely sealed with cement, leaving no gaps.
There are even many infrared alarms nearby. These alarms will sound an alarm whether they encounter a living person or a dead person passing by.
The sealed hotel is to prevent living people from accidentally entering, and it has no meaning to Li Gui.
These alarms should be for the headquarters to receive the news as soon as possible when the ghost in the hotel leaves.
Zhang Hao used the ghost realm to pass through the thick cement wall and directly entered the Caesar Hotel.
There is no light source in the hotel, and there is no water or electricity here, so even if there are electric lights, they are just decorations.
So the first feeling after entering was darkness and depression. In addition, there was a faint smell of rotting corpses in the turbid air. This smell lingered and seemed to fill the entire hotel. .
There are many footprints of different colors on the dusty ground. These footprints are all the same size. They should be left by the same person, no, they should be the same ghost.
The footprints are black. This black color is formed by the decomposition of corpse water that flowed from the corpse of the tall man in the Caesar Hotel.
However, looking at the drying marks, it should have been left a long time ago. The tall male corpse should not have been wandering around the Caesar Hotel for a long time.
Along the stairs, Zhang Hao headed to the fourth floor again.
But just as he walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, he already realized something was wrong.
The walls on the fourth floor are mottled and aged, giving off a cold atmosphere. At the same time, there is a strong smell of corpses in the air, and light seems to be unable to enter this floor.
Although there is some light shining in along the gap, it is only a little bright at the position of the gap, and there is no way to light up the surrounding area.
After the tall man’s corpse stopped wandering around the hotel, the hotel became even more out of control.
In the out-of-control hotel, in the passage on the fourth floor, many passages appeared after walking in, making Zhang Hao unable to determine which one he wanted to take.
Looking at these passages, Zhang Hao thought for a while and took out something from his pocket.
It was a black solid piece, and it looked like it had been broken apart.
Zhang Hao used his palms to crush the black stuff into a powder. Then he took out a glass of wine and poured the powder down.
The powder was mixed with blood wine. After a while, a cup of ink smelling of blood appeared in his hand.
Pour the ink on the ground, and soon the ink will flow deep into an illusory passage on the fourth floor.
Zhang Hao plans to find the ghost newspaper this time and ask him to help him publish some content.
Because judging from the situation in Yang Jian, I am afraid that Zhang Dong in the ghost house is also going to die.
Zhang Hao must take advantage of the gap between Zhang Dong's death and enter the red room. Otherwise, there will be no chance after Zhang Dong recovers. Following the flow of ink, Zhang Hao soon arrived at the newspaper office again.
At this time, the newspaper office had undergone some changes compared to the last time Zhang Hao saw it.
The ghost newspaper office before was completely dark, with only a faint light emitting from inside.
And now, the neon lights outside the newspaper office are flashing, and even the words "Chunfeng Newspaper Office" are now lit up.
This is strange.
This newspaper company had a way to send him out of the Caesar Hotel at that time, but now he has found the newspaper ghost to complete it for him, and this thing has not left the Caesar Hotel yet.
However, Zhang Hao did not have any in-depth thoughts on these.
The ghosts in this newspaper office are the same kind as him. They are both powerful ghosts with wisdom. The other party should also have his own purpose.
Walking into the newspaper office, there was only a middle-aged man-looking ghost standing next to the printer in the newspaper office before, but this time there were many more figures inside.
Zhang Hao looked carefully and found that these people all looked lifeless, with numb and empty eyes.
A little further inside the newspaper office, Zhang Hao could still see a person sitting on a chair. The person was holding a newspaper in his hand and seemed to be reading it.
"Is it that newspaper ghost?"
Zhang Hao glanced at the ghost a few times.
"What does the guest need?"
At this time, a man with yellowish skin, numb eyes, and a strange smile on his face walked up to Zhang Hao.
The other party's movements were very smooth, and his steps were very smooth and coherent when talking and walking, not like a dead person.
"Is he another ordinary person controlled by the newspaper ghost?"
Zhang Hao glanced at the other party, not surprised by this.
The ghost newspaper club complements the newspaper ghost. It is normal to control some living people as its employees.
Although the newspaper ghost was taken away by Yang Jian, as the source of the ghost newspaper, Li Gui, the other party's ability cannot completely rely on that newspaper.
"Publish the news." Zhang Hao said in a hoarse and stiff voice.
"Okay, I wonder what kind of news the customer needs to publish?" The other party asked with the smile on his face unchanged.
“I need to enter the haunted house where Zhang Dong is located in the next few days.”
Zhang Hao said to the other party and walked straight to the middle-aged ghost next to the printer. beside.
"Guest, if you want to publish this report, you need a certain amount of compensation." The man who was controlled before came forward and asked.
“There are three price points now. Would you like to choose to print a newspaper worth three yuan, four yuan or seven yuan?”
"What's the difference?" Zhang Hao asked back.
However, the man did not answer, but still looked at Zhang Hao with a strange smile.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
A newspaper was quickly printed out by him at the printer.
“On February 27, 2018, on the road outside an incomprehensible ancient house, a bus driving in the mountains hit a red and white brake pedal and caused a car accident.”< br>
"This is a three-yuan newspaper. If the customer is satisfied, we will send the newspaper out after paying the fee."
The man held the newspaper and stood in front of Zhang Hao and asked.
"Let me get hit by a bus? Are you kidding me?" Zhang Hao looked at the middle-aged ghost behind the counter.
Although he is a ghost, he also knows the strength of the bus.
If I were hit by a bus, although it would not be fatal, which is unrealistic, it would obviously cause a lot of problems.
Maybe I will have a conflict with that bus because of this.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The printer rang again, and a new newspaper was printed.
“On February 27, 2018, a red and white demon met an old woman in a rural area, and led her to an incomprehensible haunted house to pay for an incomprehensible man. The old man is at his funeral."
"This is a four-yuan newspaper. If the customer is satisfied, we will send the newspaper out after paying the fee."
The man repeated what he said before, but this time the three yuan in the words became four yuan.
Seeing the old woman and Dachuan City above, Zhang Hao looked at the middle-aged ghost behind the counter again.
“Let me deal with that old woman, is she Meng Xiaodong, right?”
Meng Xiaodong, one of the seven elders, is in Dachuan City, and in the original plot , she took the supernatural bus from a rural area.
Although that might just be a derivative of Meng Xiaodong and not the source of the evil ghost after Meng Xiaodong's recovery, Zhang Hao didn't want to face the opponent in this situation.
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, the printer rang again.
“Beep beep beep!” This time the sound of the printer was very urgent, giving people a feeling that it was almost out of control.
“On March 1, 2018, the red and white demons passed by Dafu City and found that someone was dying somewhere in Dafu City. The ghost accidentally connected to the location of the incomprehensible ancient house. ”
“This is a seven-yuan publication. Publish the newspaper, and if the customer is satisfied, we will send the newspaper out after paying the fee."
This time the man repeated his previous words, but his tone changed from the previous weirdness to a sinister one, and he seemed to be able to do it vaguely. I heard a threatening tone.
Obviously, Zhang Hao asked the printer to print out newspapers three times in a row, which seemed to have triggered some kind of pattern in the ghost newspaper agency.
If he does not choose to publish one of the newspapers now, it is likely to cause some uncontrollable changes in the ghost newspaper office.
Looking at the content above, Zhang Hao finally decided to take out a three-yuan ghost note and hand it to the middle-aged ghost.
It’s not that he wants to be hit by a bus, the problem is that he only has a three-yuan ghost bill in his hand.
“Okay, today is February 19th. Guests can choose to stay in the newspaper office, or they can choose to wait until February 27th to come to the newspaper office.”
When Zhang Hao heard this, he ignored the other party.
He looked at the bride beside him: "Bride, bring out a painting."
Hearing this, the bride turned to look at Zhang Hao, and a derived painting appeared in her hand. .
Zhang Hao took the portrait and looked around the newspaper office, and quickly found a suitable place.
It was a display stand, and Zhang Hao saw many things in it.
There were some messy straws and ashes like ashes on it, and Zhang Hao even saw a pool of water stains inside.
“These are the media left by different customers, which facilitates deepening the relationship with our newspaper.”
“Our customers have a big world, and there will definitely be more cooperation with us in the future. In the future, we will be able to publish more customer information on the next media."
The man with a weird smile from before walked forward and said.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao hung this derivative portrait on the top of the display stand.
The middle-aged ghost at the counter didn't react at all to Zhang Hao's actions.
“Let’s go.”
After Zhang Hao hung up the derivative ghost paintings, he led the bride and left the ghost newspaper office.
Originally, he was still unable to understand the purpose of the newspaper, but now he has some understanding of the purpose of the newspaper.
This thing is probably deepening the connection with the devil and expanding its own influence.
For example, Zhang Hao left a derivative ghost painting portrait in the newspaper office. As long as the ghost bride does not take the initiative to erase the painting, the ghost newspaper office will be able to enter the world of ghost paintings through this painting in the future and collect information from the ghost paintings. .
Others such as water stains, straw, ashes, etc. should have similar effects.
The ability of this newspaper is very strange, but it requires credibility. If the ghost controllers get the newspaper from the ghost newspaper but do not believe the content.
The reports issued by the ghost newspaper cannot have a prophecy-like effect.
“Perhaps this ghost newspaper agency will become even weirder after getting the scammer.”
Zhang Hao was thinking secretly in his heart, but did not tell the ghost newspaper agency about his plan to deceive people about ghost news.
Just like he charges for publishing news in a ghost newspaper, Zhang Hao will not do something that is not beneficial to him.
Even now, the newspaper and he are in the ghost camp and are still cooperating.
But in essence, whether they are humans or ghosts, they are hostile to Zhang Hao.
