Chapter 145: Female Ghost in White
At night, Arthur sat in a chair in the Investigation Bureau and adjusted his mood.
"Arthur, relax. The other young people running for the election are even less competitive. They are just A-level psychics like you and cannot be your opponents. The only one you need to pay attention to is the S-level one in the seventh game. His rating is higher than yours, so he is a small threat to you.
But don't worry, he just became the commissioner of the investigation bureau not long ago, and he has no actual achievements at all. Moreover, he is a natural supernatural being, and ordinary people's impression of him is definitely not as good as yours. Judging from the current online survey, you have an absolute advantage in this election!" said Bill, Arthur's assistant.
"Bill, Su Ming is not someone I'm worried about. He has too little experience and doesn't know how to make others like him. The election for district chief is ultimately about overall impression. For example, isn't Qi Xiaoyang, the S-level player in the Sixth Bureau, not qualified to be district chief?
What I'm most concerned about now is the Grade A weirdness we have to deal with tonight. Have you made all the arrangements?"
"Everything is ready! We've contacted the TV station for live broadcast. If everything goes well, the result should be determined in advance." Bill said with a smile.
Arthur nodded.
The A-level monster they are talking about is the weird female ghost in white in District 11.
This is a powerful monster that only appeared three days ago. Its characteristic is that it appears randomly at any location in a fixed area every day, and its characteristic is that it walks on the street while crying.
At present, there is no active harm to anyone, but the closer you get to her, the more intense the fear you will feel. If you are within two meters of the female ghost, you will be frozen into an ice man by the extremely low temperature and finally shattered by the female ghost.
At a long distance, it will not attract the hatred of the female ghost, but if it is close to a certain distance, it will attract the attention of the female ghost and be chased by her.
So far, the female ghost in white has killed forty-five people, thirty of whom are investigation bureau agents.
Because of the problem of the female ghost in white, four blocks in District 11 are closed to traffic at night and residents of the blocks are prohibited from going out on the streets.
After several attempts, it has been confirmed that attacking a female ghost will result in her hunting you down, and long-range attacks are completely ineffective. Only close-range attacks can have a certain killing effect.
In addition, the female ghost in white has extremely strong close combat capabilities and is highly resistant to most superpowers, so she is judged to be an A-level monster.
In fact, to be more precise in rating, this monster should be classified as a pseudo-A-level, that is, although it has the strength of an A-level monster, it does not have the attacking desire of an A-level monster. This kind of monster is not particularly difficult to deal with. On the second day after this monster appeared, the Fourteenth Bureau had already come up with four countermeasures to safely eliminate the opponent.
But because Arthur is about to run for district chief, this A-level monster has a greater impact on the residents and leaves a deep impression on them, but its own security threat index is very low, so it is listed as a good target for improving results by the Fourteenth Bureau, and Arthur is specially arranged to come forward to solve it.
This is a very rare opportunity for Arthur to show himself. As long as he can successfully kill the female ghost in white, the local residents' favorability towards Arthur will inevitably increase. In addition, District 11 is originally the territory of the 14th Bureau, and the people have a natural liking for the members of the 14th Bureau, so the votes will naturally be easily won.
"After getting rid of the female ghost in white, is there anything else strange that I can do to show off?" Arthur asked.
Bill: "I've heard some clues recently that a mutant is roaming around at night and murdering passers-by. Also, the rumor that there is a demon dog in the sewer seems to be true. After you solve the white-clothed female ghost, you can solve these weird things one by one. Cooperate with the media's propaganda, and there will be no problem in the election."
"Okay, let's go now!"
Arthur and Bill walked out to investigate the door of Bureau 14. A large number of media had gathered at the door, and flash cameras were clicking non-stop.
"Mr. Arthur, are you planning to deal with the rumored female ghost in white? I heard that it is a very dangerous A-level monster. Are you confident?" The female reporter stepped forward and handed the microphone to Arthur.
Bill, who was beside Arthur, immediately responded, "The female ghost in white is indeed a rare A-level monster. As we all know, low-level abilities are completely ineffective against A-level monsters!
Moreover, A-level monsters have the characteristic of killing humans in a large area with high efficiency. Now the female ghost in white is only wandering in one block, but according to our observation, her range of action is gradually expanding. If we don’t deal with it in time, the people in District 11 will not be able to travel at night in the future!"
Female reporter: "Is Arthur confident that he can destroy it?"
Arthur gave a gentle and humble smile: "I don't know , but for the residents of District 11, I will do my best."
He spoke very conservatively, but his expression made the audience watching him feel that he was sure of victory.
"Who is this?" The reporter noticed that there was someone next to Arthur.
"This is my partner Liu Feiyun, whose special ability is to create fire. This time he will fight the white-clothed female ghost with me!"
When they heard about Arthur's partner, there was another round of discussion in the crowd. The flash lights continued to click, and Arthur and Liu Feiyun walked towards their destination surrounded by the crowd.
Investigation Bureau 14 had been closely following the movements of the female ghost in white and had long since obtained intelligence on its actions. As soon as Arthur went out, someone reported to him the whereabouts of the female ghost in white. So Arthur, surrounded by the crowd, rushed to the location of his hunting target.
Soon, everyone arrived at their destination. At this time, they could see the female ghost in white about a hundred meters away with the naked eye. Her crying was still clear at a distance of a hundred meters. The voice was not loud, but very penetrating and extremely sad, making people's scalps numb when they heard it.
From the beginning, Bill has been explaining , trying to describe the female ghost in white as extremely dangerous and a monster that is difficult for ordinary psychics to defeat. And for Arthur and Liu Feiyun, hunting the female ghost in white is an unprecedented and difficult task.
He tried his best to describe the difficulty of the mission, and his narration was also very convincing against the backdrop of the crying of the female ghost in white.
The female ghost in white kept walking in a straight line along the road, and the filming team followed from a distance behind. The female ghost walked very slowly, with her back to everyone, crying like a resentful woman who had lost her son. The night air seemed particularly solemn and cold because of the mournful crying.
Many people appeared on the streets that were originally closed to traffic tonight. They were ordinary people who came specifically to watch Arthur fight the female ghost in white.
If it were in the past, a cordon would have been set up around the area long ago, but because the female ghost in white is a weird thing that is relatively safe as long as you don't get close, the Investigation Bureau actually allowed ordinary people to watch the fight from a distance under the supervision of security guards this time.
At this moment, there are residential areas on both sides of this block. The lights in every house in the apartment building are on, and the residents are lying on the balconies watching this rare and weird hunt with great interest. Among them are many fans of Arthur, shouting his name loudly.
"Arthur! Arthur!"
"Come on Arthur!"
For a moment, this place didn't seem like a weird treatment scene, but rather like an idol parade.
Arthur waved to the people around him and said to the camera: "I still hope everyone can pay attention to safety. This time, the danger is relatively small if you don't get close to the weirdness, so you can watch, but if you encounter weird things in normal times, it is better to leave as soon as possible and call the investigation bureau."
Arthur paused halfway through his speech and made a playful joke: "Of course, residents of District 11 can also call my cell phone directly, and I will rush to the scene as soon as possible."
Arthur glanced at Bill, and Bill winked at him, indicating that his impromptu performance just now was great.
"Okay, I'm going to start killing the monsters. Please don't follow me. Keep a distance of fifty meters! The monster will chase and kill anyone who approaches within ten meters. Anyone who approaches within two meters will be frozen into an ice man. Liu Feiyun and I will use our superpowers to kill the target while maintaining our body temperature. This requires full concentration."
After saying that, Arthur and Liu Feiyun walked towards the female ghost in white. The filming team followed from a distance behind them, locking onto the backs of the two with a telephoto lens.
Arthur was very confident this time. He and Liu Feiyun were both very proficient in close combat techniques, and one of them was ice and the other was fire, so they could both get close.
Arthur can transfer the low temperature to ice, and Liu Feiyun can offset the low temperature with fire. The two of them can cooperate with each other using their special powers and definitely eliminate this monster!
As the distance shortened, finally, the two were only ten meters away from their target. The female ghost in white walking in front seemed to sense the presence of Arthur and Liu Feiyun behind her, stopped dragging her feet, turned around, and looked at Arthur and Liu Feiyun with her pure black eyes.
Its face was as white as snow and a little wet. Just looking at it made people feel sticky and cold. Arthur couldn't help swallowing.
Then, it opened its mouth and let out a shrill scream. The huge scream made the window glass facing the street shake slightly. The reporters behind it were frightened and took a few steps back. The residents on the upper floors on both sides also put away their curiosity to watch the fight. At this moment, they experienced the weird horror firsthand.
“Aaaaaaah——!!”
The female ghost in white rushed towards Arthur and Liu Feiyun!
In an instant, both of them felt a sudden chill, and an invisible fear spread in their hearts.
At this moment, Arthur actually had the idea of turning around and moving away to avoid the attack for a while. He felt that he was no match for this monster!
"Arthur, something doesn't feel right, do you want to..."
"No! It's just this weird peculiar effect! We can take care of it!"
A layer of frost formed on Arthur's face, and a flame ignited on Liu Feiyun's body. The two used their own methods to offset the terrifying cold.
In the blink of an eye, the female ghost was already in front of him. It waved at Arthur violently, and its speed caught him off guard!
Arthur was shocked, but his fighting instincts accumulated over the years allowed him to create a solid ice shield in an instant. The ice shield frozen in Arthur's hand stood between the female ghost and him, protecting Arthur safely behind him like a blast-proof shield.
