Chapter 232: The Military Officer Solves the Case, the Deceased in Jinling

"Fuck!"

The captain's scalp suddenly went numb. Who can bear to be hit in the face by an evil ghost!

He quickly stepped back a few steps, raised the gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger reflexively.

"Who are you...what are you doing here..."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came out from the mouth of the pale white face in front of him, with a cold tone that made people numb.

The captain resisted the urge to shoot, and he was not sure whether physical bullets would work on this thing.

And from what this face said, it seemed that it could "communicate"?

"We are here to handle the case, you trapped us here!"

The captain narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Let us out quickly!"

"Handle... the case?"

The white face seemed a little confused, chewing on what the captain said repeatedly.

Only then did the team members calmly see that this face was an old man's face, with a face so pale that it seemed to be painted with white makeup for singing opera, and two crooked blushes dotted on the cheeks.

Before the old man figured it out, a new voice came from the dark gate.

"Oh my! The soldiers are here!"

"I reported the officer, I reported the officer!"

As a sharp and loud female voice came, the captain saw a red shadow flashing through the gate, and a woman in a bright red cheongsam stood in front of him.

No one could see when she came out, just like a gust of wind blowing over, and the person was here.

From the visual effect, this woman is slightly more normal than the old man, at least she has a complete body and can see her hands and feet clearly.

But her face is also terribly white, her eyes are painted with heavy makeup, and her cheongsam is so red that it is dazzling.

But she is just a little more normal, and the captain concluded that she is still not human.

"Soldier! Hey, my soldier, you are finally here!"

The woman smiled sweetly and was about to get close to the captain. The captain pointed the gun at her: "Don't get close to me! Don't come over!"

"Oh my! Don't, don't! What if it goes off accidentally!"

The woman looked terrified and stood still. She seemed to be very afraid of the gun in the captain's hand.

"If they are really ghosts, how can they be afraid of guns?"

The captain was confused, but he also understood that the gun in his hand looked very deterrent at the moment.

"Be honest!"

The young soldier next to him suddenly shouted and pointed the gun at the woman: "Hold your head and squat down!"

"Soldier! Soldier!"

The woman screamed miserably. She was obviously not a person, but she really squatted down with her head in her hands, trembling and aggrieved. The black eyes on her pale face revealed a feeling of panic and fear.

This made the soldiers unable to do anything.

"Are they really afraid of guns?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe they are deliberately lying to us. Don't believe ghost stories."

"Not necessarily. My old family said that some ghosts don't know they are dead and think they are human, carrying the memories of their previous lives."

"Look at the way it is dressed. It should be a chaotic era. It is afraid of soldiers."

The soldiers communicated with each other using sign language. This is also a silent communication method that the combat department requires every talent to learn, in order to prevent the possible doomsday when they cannot speak in the future.

"I'll try again."

The young soldier just now seemed to have tasted the sweetness and pointed the gun at the old man's head again: "You squat too!"

The soldier scolded, using the same method as he treated the suspect, with sharp eyes, strong tone, and righteous temperament.

"Military...Military, do I have to kneel too?"

Unexpectedly, the old man was stunned for a while and also showed a rather frightened expression.

The captain was about to think that the young soldier was reckless. How could a ghost with only one head squat?

Unexpectedly, the old man's head floated out of the dark gate the next second, revealing an ancient black and red gown, and it really knelt down towards the young soldier.

It turned out that this was not a head!

It was just that the part below the head was hidden in the gate, and the fog was flooding, so the soldiers did not see it clearly at the first time.

"It's squatting, not kneeling!"

The young soldier reminded seriously: "Where do these feudal habits come from!"

"Feudal...?"

The old man looked at the young soldier confusedly, but still obediently changed from kneeling to squatting, and honestly raised his hands to hold his head.

After its arms and palms were exposed, the soldiers' eyes condensed.

This was clearly the palm and forearm of a dead person, only half of the palm was barely intact, and the flesh and blood of the forearm had rotted to reveal black bones.

"It's not a ghost, it could be a corpse."

The captain gestured to the team members, then walked to the old man's head cautiously and tried to lift the old man's arm with the muzzle of the gun: "Stand up, I'll ask you something."

The captain could clearly feel the touch of the muzzle of the gun coming from the touch of the real object. Obviously, the two guys in front of him were not souls, but real bodies.

"Military... Ask, ask."

The old man lowered his head, revealing a big hole on the back of his neck, and the thick red veins could still be vaguely seen.

The captain was big-hearted, just raised his eyelids, and then started to question seriously.

After a skillful questioning, the captain basically grasped the situation.

The ancient house in front of him seemed to be an ancient house in the local area of ​​Jinling, and the family was wealthy.

This family should have died in the war era, but it seems that they didn't realize it, or they came out to make trouble because of the ghost fog.

Their memories remain on the day when they reported to the military officer to take charge of their affairs.

"What do you report to the official for?"

The captain asked with a serious expression: "Is there something wrong?"

The captain has already made a rough estimate. If he wants to lead the team away directly, he probably won't be able to leave.

There is absolutely no way around this damn place.

It's better to talk to these ghosts first, maybe we can find clues to leave here.

"Yes, yes!"

The female corpse on the side hurriedly spoke up, crying and aggrieved: "Master Jun, you have to make the decision for us!"

"My master is really crazy and wants to beat his daughter to death!"

"If you continue to ignore me, my daughter will really...really be gone. The girl I have raised for so many years will be killed by my own family!"

Domestic violence by parents?

The captain glanced at the team members and saw the surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Is this a coincidence?

My team happened to be going to solve the security problem in the city, but they encountered something strange in the fog. This strange thing also required their help to solve the security problem.

In Jinling's public security management regulations, the scope of domestic violence also falls within the scope of public security management.

This team has been on security duty for a month and has dealt with many similar incidents. It can be said that it has some experience.

Although this kind of problem is a bit tricky, if you follow the public security management regulations carefully and follow the rules, it can be handled more or less smoothly and properly.

It’s just...does this group of ghosts also apply to the Jinling Public Security Regulations and Laws?

I'm afraid they don't even know what work points are, so they probably won't be able to use ordinary punishment and management methods. They can only use conventional mediation methods.

The captain was thinking, and the team members on the side saw his thoughts and asked in sign language: "Captain, you don't really intend to take care of these ghosts, do you?"

"They all look dead. Can they be killed again by domestic violence?"

"Whatever can be done?"

The captain replied in sign language: "We can't get out, so we can only follow their path and look for some opportunities."

"Don't forget the newly released basic rules for strange events in the third doomsday. The staff of the headquarters have analyzed the underlying logic of the strange events. If you are unable to decipher and find safety after encountering a strange event, you must actively collect clues and intelligence."

"Because the end of the world is a test. Since it is a test, there is no inevitable death."

Based on the underlying logic of this mechanism, the captain has reason to believe that he can lead his team members out, but he has not found the right way yet.

After a brief exchange, the captain looked at the female corpse, put away the gun, and said seriously: "Your husband wants to beat his daughter to death? This is not a trivial matter. Take me to see it!"

The captain is so brave!

The team members looked frightened and could only silently hold onto the firearms in their hands.

When the female corpse heard this, she was immediately ecstatic. She didn't expect the military men to be so easy to talk to. It seemed that they really planned to take good care of this matter.

It's not like the wave of military lords who came a few days ago, who only wanted to take advantage of the family, and even tried to steal the men from the family to serve in the army, but didn't ask about the family affairs at all.

"Master, Master, come with me quickly!"

The female corpse stood up quickly, waving all the way, signaling the soldiers to enter the ancient house.

A few soldiers were terrified, but seeing the captain and the young soldiers moving forward without fear, they could only bite the bullet and follow them.

...

"When we go in... nothing will happen, right?"

"You can't believe the lies. What if you get tricked and then killed!"

Su Yi murmured outside, with a hint of anxiety in his tone. He was worried that he could not communicate with the front line.

"Even if you don't trick them into killing them, they can't get away."

Dongfang Zhiyuan's voice came from behind. Su Yi looked back, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said hello with a smile: "Old man, you're awake... Is what you just said about what I saw?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan did not answer Su Yi's inquiry. He just took the pipe again and said calmly: "They have no choice. The leader knows that he can't get out, so he can only go deep into the tiger's den and make a dangerous move."

Obviously, Dongfang Zhiyuan can also see what Su Yi saw.

Su Yi didn't know how the old man did it. He thought for a while and carefully asked the most critical question: "Then...will they die inside?"

If possible, Su Yi does not want to see any of his talented units die for no reason.

They are all useful talents and they all need to contribute and serve the people.

"Don't expect me to save them, they are not worth my help."

Dongfang Zhiyuan exhaled a faint smoke and said casually: "As for whether they will die or not, it depends on their fate."

Su Yi was confused: "Creation?"

"Um."

Dongfang Zhiyuan nodded: "This is a strange thing in the ghost fog. I told you that the ghost fog will produce magnetic field fluctuations due to people who have died in the current area, causing many strange things."

"And [people who have died in the current area], this is very important. If no one has died here, no matter how large the ghost mist spreads, there will be no threat."

Dongfang Zhiyuan suddenly laughed: "But how can human beings not die? From the moment there are people, there are people who have died."

"And this prerequisite can be effective in all places covered by ghost fog. It is not limited to this city, and it is not limited to time."

Dongfang Zhiyuan looked at Su Yi, and Su Yi suddenly realized: "You mean! They didn't appear for no reason, they are people who really died in this city!"

Speaking of the dead... there are too many people who died in Jinling!

Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, there were so many that they were simply too numerous to count! It can be said that there were wronged souls everywhere!

If all these people died and turned into strange things, the difficulty of the third doomsday in the entire Jinling would be extremely high!
