Chapter 224 What is reality?
The drizzle continued, and the gloomy rain continued into a rain curtain, blocking most of the scenery in the distance.
A hazy, mysterious feeling arises spontaneously.
If raindrops make a sound when they fall on the ground, then this mysterious and hazy feeling will be even stronger.
Wang Shanshan held an umbrella and looked at Yu Qian, who was squatting on the ground counting money, with a helpless look on her face, and was somewhat silent.
In the clothing store in front, there were rustling and clattering sounds.
After a while, the door of the clothing store was opened, and a barefoot little girl walked out of it holding a lot of clothes, shouting as she walked, "Can't you restrain yourself? ? If you give me some money, you won't do anything. What's your habit?"
"Alas..." Yu Qian sighed innocently, "Me neither. There's a way, it gives money..."
"If it gives more, maybe I will leave this street for a few hundred meters."
Rouge rolled her eyes. Throwing the shrouds that covered her head directly to the ground, she stepped on these weird shrouds, "It's money-seeing, and there's no future."
Yu Qian shrugged and shook off a wad of bills in his hand. After tapping them again, he took out ten and handed them to Yanzhi.
Ryanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he snatched them away. He counted ten of them, and each one cost seven yuan, making a total of seventy yuan.
"Only seventy yuan?" Yanzhi looked at the money in her hand and then at the money in Yu Qian's hand. After comparing it, it was at least several times thicker than hers.
"It's quite a lot, what does a kid do with so much money?" Yu Qian put the money into his sleeves expressionlessly, then he looked at Yan Zhi, "How about I keep it for you?"
"Fuck you." Yanzhi rolled her eyes again and carefully put the money into her purse.
"If you don't give it, you won't give it. Who are you scolding..." Yu Qian didn't care about this. A ghost lake appeared at his feet. He put the shroud that Yan Zhi had robbed into the ghost lake. He didn't eat it, but left it back for King Awu Xiaoming. They do research and serve as resources.
Although each piece of ghost shroud has different killing patterns, its characteristics are similar. Once put on, it is not easy to take off.
And it’s easy to control.
The way to control it is just to put on clothes.
Conquer success without dying.
It seems that because he became a ghost, Yu Qian became a little greedy for money. After taking all the shrouds back to the ghost lake, he actually took out the money and counted it again.
Yanzhi squatted next to Yu Qian, looking eagerly at the flipping ghost money, saying that it was fake if he was not greedy.
You can buy a lot of things with this ghost money.
"Yu Qian, look, there are clothing stores, restaurants, hotels, and gambling houses here. Do you think we should go and have a look?" Rouge looked at the buildings here, her eyes Shiny and somewhat excited.
Yu Qian raised his head and followed Rouge's line of sight, his eyes lighting up slightly, "Go and have a look, I'll go in first, and you go in last."
"No, I'll go in first, otherwise you will collect all the money. These ghosts are too sensible." Yanzhi quickly shook his head and refused.
"But you can't get the money if you go in first. You see, it's not like we haven't encountered bad ghosts with ghost money before, but after you took action, those ghosts didn't drop any money. Instead, I If they take action, they may still lose money," Yu Qian looked at Yan Zhi seriously and said.
Hearing what Yu Qian said, Yanzhi wrinkled her face and thought for a while, it seemed that this was really the case.
"Then let's split it 50-50?" Yanzhi suggested tangledly.
"Okay, deal." Yu Qian nodded and agreed directly.
Wang Shanshan looked at the big one and the small one squatting on the street, and fell into silence listening to their conversation.
Is there something wrong with this style of painting?
What happened next made Wang Shanshan determined, and her painting style had become distorted.
I feel like a gangster collecting protection money online.
Next, Yu Qian and Yan Zhi began to wander around hotels, gambling houses, and restaurants.
The process was roughly like this. Yu Qian kicked open the door and walked in. In less than a minute, Yu Qian walked out with a wad of ghost money and closed the door again.
After Yu Qian came out, Yanzhi kicked the door open again, and then there was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound inside. After a while, Yanzhi dragged a few ghosts out of the door and threw them in front of Yu Qian. .
Repeatedly several times.
Wang Shanshan was stunned for a moment.
Finally, Wang Shanshan looked at the two people, one big and one small, squatting by the street, and fell into deep thought while listening to the words of you and me.
Numb, Wang Shanshan is already numb.
This is the result of the collapse of the worldview. She may not think anything of anything outrageous she sees now.
Wang Shanshan was holding an umbrella, and a ghost boy stood beside her. The ghost boy kept staring at the ghost money in his hands, one big and one small.
It seems to want it very much.
The rain rolled down from the oil-paper umbrella. Wang Shanshan looked at the rain curtain, which was hazy and a bit old-fashioned.
Does it mean that the stronger a person is, the weirder his behavior will be?
The sharing of the spoils ended quickly, and both of them were very satisfied.
Yanzhi picked up the oil-paper umbrella that had been put aside and climbed onto Yu Qian's shoulders with ease.
Yu Qian stood up and put the money into his sleeve.
"You have a really good relationship." Wang Shanshan suddenly said this.
"Envy?" Yu Qian turned his head and looked at Wang Shanshan and asked jokingly.
"Of course, since the accident at school, there are only Yang Jian and my parents in my life. In fact, it is mainly Yang Jian." Wang Shanshan was silent for a while, nodded, and admitted generously.
"As long as you are still human, there will be an anchor point, either virtual or real." Yu Qian looked into the distance, the light rain was pattering, and the rain curtain brought mist.
Those buildings hidden in the mist are like half-hidden beauties holding a pipa, giving them a unique flavor.
"You've been so talkative lately. You used to only talk to us one or two sentences. It was like this when you were still in school, and it's still like this after you became a ghost controller." Wang Shanshan stared at Yu Qian, and she still felt She had some doubts. She had seen Yu Qian on the Street of the Dead before, which made her suspect that Yu Qian was dead.
Human skin can't tell lies. In this street of dead souls, you can only see dead souls.
She was glad not to see Yang Jian here.
“A true lie, if told only half way, will turn into a lie. You should know this allusion.”
“A true lie will turn out to be the truth. For example, the murderer is the father of Hermes. If we only say that the murderer is Hermes, Si, without mentioning the father behind it, is this a lie?”
“Strictly speaking, this is a lie, but judging from the completeness of the words, it is not, because the truth is not yet there. After all, this is the same as delayed justice no longer being justice." Wang Shanshan replied after thinking for a while.
"Yes, that's the case with human skin paper. It won't lie, but it will distort the truth."
"So, don't believe too much in human skin paper. This is right. That's what Yang Jian did. Very good.”
Yu Qian put his hands in his pockets and walked on the street, heading towards the source of the light rain.
"The reason why I am talkative is very simple. I just twisted your head off with my own hands before. Now that I see the real you, I still have some different emotions. You have to understand that emotions are something In the hearts of us ghost masters, it is extremely hard-won and should be cherished.”
The moment he saw Wang Shanshan push the door open, Yu Qian felt an emotional wave in his heart, which made him not be in reality for a long time. Yu Qian was surprised when he felt the emotion.
This emotion is very precious, so he cherishes it.
Wang Shanshan looked at the figure in front of her under the oil-paper umbrella and followed her silently.
Wang Shanshan didn’t speak any more along the way. There were no more dead souls on the street. It was so empty that not even a ghost could be seen.
They were all cleaned up by Yu Qian.
After walking for a while, the rain around him became heavier, and Yu Qian stopped in front of an alley.
The alley was dark and damp, without light and completely dark.
Yu Qian looked at the alley and walked in without hesitation. After a while, a four-story building appeared in front of him.
Yu Qian walked into the corridor, and Yanzhi put away the oil-paper umbrella.
Wang Shanshan hesitated for a while, but did not follow the instructions. Instead, she held an umbrella and walked behind them.
Yu Qian walked directly to the third floor with great purpose, and then stopped in front of the door of a household.
"I will not harm anyone in life, I will not tire anyone in death, and I will go back with a clear conscience."
Yanzhi slowly read out the black words written in traditional Chinese on the white paper on both sides of the door.
“For the dead, it looks free and easy.” Yanzhi commented.
“Come back!” Wang Shanshan suddenly shouted anxiously.
Yu Qian and Yanzhi looked back and found that the ghost boy was walking downstairs minding his own business.
It seemed that because of Wang Shanshan's shouting, the ghost boy stopped and then trotted back to Wang Shanshan's side.
"Don't look at the door couplet." Yu Qian knew what was going on just by looking at it.
“Lower your head, don’t look at the gate couplet.” Wang Shanshan instantly realized that it was because of the gate couplet.
The ghost boy was very obedient and really lowered his head and looked at the floor.
“Want to go in and take a look?” Rouge asked.
"In a good mood, take them away." Yu Qian said nonchalantly, and then he reached out and touched the door. When Yu Qian touched the door, a coldness suddenly appeared and attacked his consciousness.
Yu Qian reached out and touched his face, nothing happened.
The door opens.
In the dim environment inside, a faint but warm light appeared. The source of the light came from a small brazier in the middle of the room.
There were many young people in the room, but there were also a few old people and children, about twenty or so, sitting around the brazier.
None of them are supernatural, they are living people who have not been corrupted by supernatural beings.
Yu Qian stood outside the door, glanced at the living people in the room, and quickly turned his gaze to a dark place.
He did not enter the room.
"You...you are Yu Qian!" A young man's voice sounded in the darkness, with surprise and disbelief in his voice.
Then, in the darkness, a young man walked out. He looked at Yu Qian with some hesitation in his eyes, as if he was confirming whether it was Yu Qian.
"It's too weak, so I can only hide here."
Yu Qian felt the strength of the young man in front of him, and he was too weak to look directly at him.
"Take someone to follow me. I'm in a good mood now, and I'll give you a little less." After saying that, Yu Qian turned around and walked down the stairs.
“Let’s go, Yu Qian is here, there is no problem in keeping these people alive.” Wang Shanshan looked at Henry Zhang, he had helped her before.
"Is it really Yu Qian?" the young man asked suspiciously.
Wang Shanshan said nothing and turned around and went downstairs with the ghost boy.
Xiao Yang's expression changed, he gritted his teeth, and quickly greeted the survivors, "Let's go, someone is here to save us. It's Yu Qian, the vice president of the Supernatural Forum. With him here, we are sure Can survive."
After saying that, he went to help the old people with handicapped legs.
The rest of the people suddenly became excited when they heard that they were rescued. They quickly helped each other and followed Henry Zhang towards the door.
Xiao Yang was very excited. If Yu Qian were here, he would definitely be able to save those people in Baishui Town who were corrupted by the supernatural.
At least seven out of ten can be saved.
But the moment Henry Zhang led the survivors out of the alley street, his pupils shrank to the minimum in an instant, and his body could not stop shaking.
"President Yu...where are those...those townspeople?"
The streets were empty, not to mention the townspeople, not even a soul.
Even the restaurants and hotels that were flashing neon lights before have gone to no one knows where.
"Dead." Yu Qian stood on the side of the street and said calmly.
“He was attacked and killed by a ghost?” Xiao Yang asked in disbelief. That shouldn’t be the case. Those townspeople have supernatural powers and will not be attacked by ghosts. How could they be attacked by ghosts and die? die?
Henry Zhang couldn’t understand.
“No, I killed him.” Yu Qian admitted this casually.
Xiao Yang’s pupils narrowed again and started to tremble.
"Why, why?"
Yu Qian turned his head and looked at Henry Zhang, "You will die if you are contaminated by the supernatural. This is a matter of time. You should have discovered it. You can't leave Baishui Town now. You know Is this because of what?"
Xiao Yang was silent, and after a long time he asked, "Because of what?"
"Because of Baishui? The town is now inside the ghost of a powerful ghost. Any living person who is contaminated with the supernatural will become the ghost's cargo. Not only living people, but also us. As long as we enter the ghost's cabinet, we will become the goods of that ghost. Goods."
"You should be lucky that the living people you protect are not contaminated with supernatural beings, otherwise they will be killed by me."
The extremely cold and ruthless speech, listening to the uncontrollable trembling of the survivors, all hid behind Henry Zhang.
"But...but they can survive as long as they leave Baishui Town!" Henry Zhang looked at Yu Qian and murmured to himself.
"Well, that's true, then I won't kill him if we meet him again." Yu Qian was too lazy to argue with Henry Zhang. People who don't know the truth can only bear the moment when the truth comes.
Xiao Yang is a good person and a responsible person, but this kind of person will not survive long in the future era.
This kind of person is not suitable for a Gu farm.
Just like Tong Qian, who had been missing for a month and was rescued from Dajing City not long ago by Yang Jian.
It is also about saving people, but the rescuer becomes the one being saved.
He will not belittle people who really want to save people.
But it’s just that I won’t belittle or add insult to injury.
He doesn't know how to do the rest. He just saved me today because he was in a good mood.
Otherwise, according to his current personality, the entire Baishui Town will be eaten, and he doesn’t care whether Henry Zhang is still in it or how many survivors there are.
He has never been a good person.
Who said you can save people if you have the ability?
He is not a hero, and he has already passed the period of erecting a memorial arch for himself.
Xiao Yang opened his mouth, but in the end not a word came out.
The vice-president of the paranormal forum, a veritable leader.
In a true sense, looking at the common people is like looking at ants.
Wang Shanshan remained silent. She knew that Yu Qian was right, but from a moral perspective, it was wrong.
Is morality valuable?
How much does a pound cost?
Yanzhi swung her little feet and held an umbrella, thinking about how to spend the ghost money.
Yu Qian withdrew his gaze and walked towards the outside of Baishui Town.
Wang Shanshan followed with the ghost boy. Henry Zhang was silent, but still followed with the survivors.
This is reality. (End of this chapter)
