Chapter 209 A city that doesn’t exist!
"Shen Lin, how is the situation over there? Are Professor Wang and the others with you?"
Not long after the call was connected, the familiar voice of Zhao Jianguo came from the phone. sound.
"Huh?"
Shen Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately said: "Didn't Professor Wang and the others withdraw from Beiyang City? I didn't see them in Beiyang City , the whole city was silent.”
After hearing Shen Lin's answer, Zhao Jianguo on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said:
"Impossible! We have been on standby in the suburbs outside Beiyang City. Professor Wang and the others are not here Get out."
"And their satellite positioning mobile phones have no signal at all, so they can't be contacted at all. Among the people who are still in Beiyang City, you are the only one whose satellite positioning mobile phone signal has been restored and you can talk normally!"
"Captain Zhao, you are saying that Professor Wang and the others are talking to me at this time! You are still in Beiyang City, and you are still waiting for rescue in the suburbs outside Beiyang City?"
Shen Lin was even more confused.
He first took a quick look at the surroundings and the environment at the other end of the street. After making sure that there were no traces of people, he looked at the suburbs outside Beiyang City.
When Shen Lin and the others first entered Beiyang City, they discovered that the environment in the city was different from what they saw outside. Standing in Beiyang City, you could see outside the city. The scene is stunning, and there is no fog at all inside Beiyang City.
But if you stand outside Beiyang City and look into Beiyang City, you will not be able to see anything, and your line of sight will be blocked by a layer of thick white fog.
"Captain Zhao, I am now standing on the road that was separated from Professor Wang and the others. It is also a street on the edge of Beiyang City. Standing here, I can clearly see the streets outside Beiyang City. scene, but I saw no trace of you at all."
Shen Lin continued on the phone: "Besides, I have searched extensively before, and there is no trace of Professor Wang and the others."
"How could this happen?" Zhao Jianguo's tone on the other end of the phone was also a little confused, and he didn't understand why this strange situation occurred.
However, just when Shen Lin was about to continue saying something, a voice came from the other end of the phone that was somewhat familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.
That was a man's voice. He only heard the other party say: "Shen Lin, can you still see things now? Hasn't the environment in Beiyang City changed? Hasn't the thick white fog shrouded it again? "Is it inside Beiyang City?"
"By the way, my name is Zhou Xu. The environment in Beiyang City has changed before. , I advocated retreating first, but Professor Wang did not agree. He wanted to stay, so I and several ghost masters who were unwilling to stay retreated from Beiyang City first. "
It seemed that we were afraid. Shen Lin didn't know his identity, but the other party's voice came again on the other end of the phone, explaining his identity and what had happened in Beiyang City before.
"Zhou Xu? That other foreign aid besides me, one of the captains appointed by the headquarters, he actually withdrew from Beiyang City..."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Shen Lin's mind instantly The appearance of the young man who used the Ghost Domain to rush here emerged.
"So, the problem is really mine." Shen Lin sighed inwardly.
In fact, Shen Lin had already realized this before Zhou Xu spoke. Zhou Xu's words only made him completely sure.
Because it is impossible for Zhao Jianguo to joke with him about supernatural events!
When Zhao Jianguo said that Wang Xiaoming and others were still in Beiyang City, and that he and the rescue team had not retreated, Shen Lin had already realized that something was wrong.
Because along the way, he found no trace of Wang Xiaoming and others, and there was no trace of anyone in the suburbs outside Beiyang City.
For this situation, there are only two explanations that make sense. Either Zhao Jianguo is lying and all of them have evacuated, or there is something wrong with Shen Lin's own environment.
After thinking about it, Shen Lin said to the satellite positioning mobile phone that was talking: "There is no white fog here. It is the same as when we first entered Beiyang City. In view of this situation , I have a guess.”
“Now I may have entered the real Beiyang. city, and the city we entered before was a ghost town, which can explain why all of our mobile phone signals were affected before, but now only mine has returned to normal. Because Professor Wang and I are not in the same space.”
This is the only possibility that Shen Lin can think of, but there is one thing about his statement that is incomprehensible, and that is why he cannot see Zhao Jianguo and others outside Beiyang City.
Logically speaking, when he entered the real Beiyang City, he should be considered to have entered the real space, and he should be able to see the real scenes outside Beiyang City more clearly.
Also aware of this were Zhao Jianguo, Zhou Xu and others who were in the command tent outside Beiyang City and on the outskirts of Dajing City.
In the tent, Zhao Jianguo glanced at Zhou Xu and others behind him, frowned and said:
"Then is it possible that the supernatural has interfered with reality? The Beiyang shown in the White Mist Ghost Realm The city has replaced reality, causing the real Beiyang City to be isolated and become a "non-existent" city. Is this possible? "
Zhao Jianguo is only the captain of the wiring department at the headquarters, and his understanding of supernatural beings is far inferior to that of the ghost masters. Therefore, he is not sure whether his speculation is correct and needs to ask other people's opinions.
"Theoretically, this possibility exists."
Zhou Xu, standing behind Zhao Jianguo, said: "It's just that it's very difficult to do it. So far, I haven't heard of anything similar to this so far, even in the ghost realm. It seems that this can’t be done for complex ghost paintings, right?”
As the owner of the ghost domain, Zhou Xu understands how difficult it is to achieve what Zhao Jianguo said. No one can do it, but it is theoretically possible.
At least he can't do it.
As a truly top ghost controller at the headquarters, Zhou Xu's ghost domain strength is not weak.
His ghost realm can already affect reality, and can even make some things in the real world disappear. Even some ghosts that are not scary enough can only be sent away with the ghost realm!
As for where the things sent away by his ghost realm will eventually go, Zhou Xu doesn't know, but what is certain is that it will definitely not be a good place.
But even so, Zhou Xu couldn't do what Zhao Jianguo said. He could use the ghost domain to completely disappear an area, and then change his own ghost domain into that area.
If you calculate it this way, the area he sent away with the ghost realm can be considered replaced, and everything in it is separated from the real world.
But if that were the case, Zhou Xu didn't believe that people in that area could be as safe and sound as Shen Lin, and could still communicate with the outside world.
Not even ghost masters can do this, and even real ghosts may not be able to do this.
While Zhao Jianguo was discussing with Zhou Xu and others, and Shen Lin began to explore "Beiyang City", Wang Xiaoming and others in another Beiyang City encountered a crisis.
At this time, they were standing in the middle of the street, looking ahead with vigilance.
Beyond the green candlelight emitted by the red ghost candle in Li Jun's hand, there was an extremely rich white mist.
Tap tap tap!
At the same time.
In the white mist, there was a dull sound of footsteps, and together with the footsteps, there was also the calm questioning voice of "Shen Lin".
"Professor Wang, why have you stopped? Come here quickly. I know how to find the source of the ghost town incident."
I don’t know if it is an illusion of Wang Xiaoming and others. , they always felt that the voice in the white mist ahead was very stiff.
And as the footsteps approached, the red ghost candle in Li Jun's hand burned faster and faster. If this continued, it would not take long for the ghost candle to be completely exhausted.
"Professor Wang, it is almost certain that the owner of the footsteps in the white mist is not Shen Lin, but a fierce ghost." Li Jun, standing next to Wang Xiaoming, said.
When the ghost candle's burning speed was abnormal before, everyone had already understood that there was a ghost appearing around them, but at that time, Li Jun was not sure whether the ghost was the "Shen Lin" who suddenly appeared. .
But so much time has passed, and "Shen Lin" in the white mist still hasn't come over to join them, which can already prove a lot of things.
I’m afraid it’s not that the other party doesn’t want to come over and “join” them, but that they don’t have the ability to come over.
Although the red ghost candle in Li Jun's hand burns very quickly at this time, as long as the ghost candle's candlelight has not been extinguished, the ghost cannot attack the people in the area shrouded by the candlelight.
"If the person hidden in the white mist is Li Gui, then where is the real Shen Lin? Is he already dead? The one in front is him after Li Gui revived?" Chen Cong was a little confused.
Although the situation at this time told him that the person he recognized as Shen Lin was a fierce ghost, he still found it difficult to accept it in his heart.
You must know that the other party is not a low-level character, but a captain-level ghost controller appointed by the headquarters. He is a truly top ghost controller. If he dies like this, what about them? ?
If even ghost controllers of Shen Lin's level are defeated, can they alone really have the ability to limit the source of the ghost town incident? Chen Cong expressed serious doubts!
Chen Cong's idea is simple.
In the face of real strength, everything is empty talk. Even if Wang Xiaoming personally leads the team, it will not change the final result.
Li Jun and others did not know what Chen Cong was thinking. What everyone wanted to know most at this time was whether the real Shen Lin was really dead.
"Judging from the burning speed of the ghost candle at this time, the fierce ghost should not be far away from us, and the level of terror is not low. Professor Wang, we have to find a way quickly."
Su Fan, standing on the other side, suddenly spoke.
The screen of the mobile phone in his hand turned black again, with four large red characters "You are dead" on the screen.
Obviously, the protagonist of the game he controlled failed to escape again!
Just now.
Su Fan tried several escape routes and escaped from different directions, but in the end the game ended in failure, and the protagonists in the game all died without exception.
Although the direction of travel is different each time, the final result is the same.
After walking for a while, the red ghost candle will go out, and then the protagonist in the game will die the moment the candle goes out, without giving him any time to react.
“I know Shen Lin’s abilities well, and he shouldn’t die that easily. Although I don’t know why this evil ghost seems to have some of Shen Lin’s memories, a evil ghost is still a evil ghost after all, and its essence will not change. Yes, even having Shen Lin’s memory cannot replace the real Shen Lin.”
Wang Xiaoming, who was standing at the front, finally spoke after a long silence. He glanced at the red ghost candle in Li Jun’s hand. Keep a mental note of the burning time of the ghost candle.
Soon.
Wang Xiaoming continued: "Judging from the current burning speed of the ghost candle, if there is no accident in the middle, it should be enough to last for two minutes. We need to find the location of this fierce ghost in these two minutes. , and then be imprisoned!”
Imprison this evil spirit?
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts that he was indeed Professor Wang, and it was different when he spoke.
In fact, according to everyone's thoughts, they hope to find a safe way to bypass this evil ghost.
After all, the purpose of their trip was to imprison the evil ghost who was the source of the ghost town incident. A evil ghost like this wandering in the ghost realm of the ghost city was not their goal at all.
Because as long as the source of the ghost town incident is imprisoned, then all other supernatural beings in his ghost domain will be imprisoned together. There is no need to take risks and imprison them one by one.
"We need to know the real location of the Li Gui before taking action. Although the opponent seems to be in the white mist in front of us, it is very likely that this is just the Li Gui's trap. The real Li Gui may have already arrived behind us. ”
Before others could express their opinions, Su Fan directly agreed with Wang Xiaoming’s opinion and wanted to imprison the ghost who pretended to be Shen Lin.
The reason is simple.
Su Fan has tried many escape routes, but all of them failed in the end. In this case, it is better to fight directly and imprison this evil ghost that can threaten their lives!
"In this case, why not just light a white ghost candle directly to draw out the evil ghost hidden in the white mist? Besides, now we are in the light of the red ghost candle, even if the evil ghost appears They won’t attack us either.”
Li Jun suggested.
As a special operations major general, it is his bounden duty to obey orders. Moreover, Li Jun's position at the headquarters is equivalent to Wang Xiaoming's personal bodyguard, and he will almost always execute Wang Xiaoming's orders.
This time is no exception. Since Wang Xiaoming said he wanted to imprison this evil spirit, Li Jun certainly would not refute, but instead revealed his plan.
"No, this is too dangerous. In such a supernatural place, lighting a white ghost candle will attract terrible things."
As soon as Li Jun finished speaking, someone stood aside. Chen Cong's expression immediately changed and he rejected his proposal.
It's not just him.
The faces of the other ghost controllers also darkened, but seeing that Chen Cong had taken the lead to stop him, they didn't say anything more. They all stood silently watching the development of the situation.
Everyone agreed with Wang Xiaoming's proposal to imprison the ghosts, but when they saw that Li Jun was planning to light the white ghost candle, they all couldn't sit still. I originally planned to write two chapters today, but unfortunately, the chapter I wrote before was lost, so I took the time to rewrite another chapter, alas!
