Chapter 465: Ghost
Beneath the gloomy sky is the gray outline of a modern city.
There were rarely any people in the complex of buildings made of reinforced concrete, making it look like an empty city.
Some walls were covered with cracks, moss, and even dried blood, creating a weird and terrifying atmosphere.
"Damn it, it's coming again...Run!"
A group of survivors were in a panic, running for their lives, as if there were lions and tigers chasing them from behind.
No, to them, it is something more terrifying than lions and tigers.
Weird!
Or rather... a ghost!
A vicious spirit that moves in human form but is full of desire to kill the living!
Among the survivors there were both men and women, but no old or young ones. It was obvious that those who were physically weak had long been left behind.
If you are lucky enough and don't attract the attention of that being, you may be able to escape.
The fate of most of those who were left alone is self-evident.
They turned a street and quickly rushed into a large supermarket.
"There's no point in running away... Didn't the secret agency say it publicly? We need to find strange patterns!" A middle-aged fat man stuck out his tongue, picked up a bottle of mineral water, poured it on his head wildly, and took a few sips from time to time.
"What are the commonalities among the people it kills? Or patterns of behavior?"
A guy next to him who was wearing glasses and looked like a college student who had just graduated had trembling hands. He held his glasses and began to think and analyze tremblingly, but judging from his appearance, his mind was probably a mess.
"Damn it, I saw that murderous ghost. Don't you understand? It's not a weird thing, nor a puppet being manipulated! It's a ghost!"
A fashionable woman who broke the heel of her high heels swore.
Ghost!
These two words, like a huge rock, weigh on everyone's heart.
At the beginning, the strange cases were only spread in a small area, and there were secret agencies responsible for blocking them.
But since some time ago, the sword-bearer discovered another kind of "ghost". Unlike the various objects that became strange, they appeared in the form of special humans.
Although some details and ethnicity are different from the people in this world, they are indeed human beings!
The biggest difference between this kind of ghost and strange things is that they know how to "adapt". Although they still cannot communicate, they do not strictly follow the rules of killing.
Although most of the time they will follow their instincts and kill people according to certain rules, if there are no unlucky people who fit the rules, they will randomly start choosing humans to kill, and will not even be exploited for rule conflicts, causing a crash.
The only thing in common is their more crazy desire to kill.
It's as if... I want to reset the world to zero!
This directly led to the mass death of sword-wielding people and a surge in supernatural cases, which eventually could no longer be covered up and were exposed to the public.
By now, everyone knows the various rules regarding strange things and ghosts, and many organizations like secret agencies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
As long as it stands on the side of humanity, the government will recognize and support it.
Nowadays, those special humans who possess strange objects and abilities are no longer called "sword-wielders", but "exorcists"!
Treat the evil spirit as the biggest enemy!
After the fashionable woman finished speaking, a sense of despair spread among the crowd.
The middle-aged fat man who drank water at the beginning immediately said: "We are unlucky to be sucked into this strange space... But according to the early warning mechanism of each city, someone should find it and report it soon, and the exorcists will arrive soon. Although this strange spirit is terrible, it has not reached the level of a natural disaster. We still have a chance to survive!"
Tick! Tick!
Just then, he heard the sound of water drops.
The fat man looked at the empty bottle in his hand, shook his head, and his expression became dull.
Everyone looked out the window.
There, a figure wearing a white dress, with loose hair and an unclear face, suddenly appeared. Under the skirt, there were no feet!
Screams instantly broke the silence, and everyone chose to escape separately.
Ordinary people cannot fight against the weirdness, all they can do is gamble their lives.
I bet that this ghost will go looking for someone else, not me!
"Calm down, calm down! Although the ghost doesn't follow the rules, it will first kill targets that conform to the rules... What are her rules? Sight? Smell? Sound? Water?"
The fat man ran quickly in the fire escape, his eyes rolling around and he looked back.
He saw the black-haired woman in the white dress slowly move her face towards the glass.
The ghost's body was like a shadow, directly thrown into the glass.
The next moment, a scream was heard.
The fashionable woman fell to the ground, her dressing box opened, and a dark blue hand grabbed her ankle!
"It's a mirror! That ghost, killing people through a mirror? Or... is it refraction? Any image that can be refracted?"
The fat man's pupils shrank, and he quickly recalled himself. There was no such thing as a mirror.
Even a dagger that he used for self-defense was thrown away by the fat man because the blade was too shiny.
Against that kind of thing, even a missile is useless. The dagger is more used to guard against other people than to deal with ghosts.
He was not going to tell anyone else about this discovery.
Let someone else be the target, at least he'd survive to the end.
…
A shopping mall.
The surrounding area has been cordoned off.
Two pale, expressionless men walked in together.
"I feel the fluctuations in space... Those victims are in different dimensions..."
A young man with dead eyes moved his eyes: "This level of ghost is comparable to a third-level exorcist..."
As the strange cases escalated, the original sword-wielder and the fusion degree practitioner were eliminated.
What replaced it was an even more terrifying and bizarre promotion route.
By crushing weird things and integrating the required characteristics, you can become a real 'exorcist '!
"Fortunately, it has not reached the fourth type, which is the level of natural disaster... We can try it out by joining forces."
Another exorcist with a gloomy aura who didn't look like a living person answered: "Complete this mission and you can also accumulate contributions... Try to be promoted to the fourth type as soon as possible. In this world... Only the fourth type of weird king can barely sleep well..."
"There is only one 'path' for the organization, and the resource gap is too big... There are so many people waiting in line, I have no hope."
The dead fish eyes who spoke at the beginning sneered: "It's better to exchange your contribution for something else. This world will end sooner or later. Enjoy every moment you can..."
Ordinary people believe that exorcists have omnipotent powers and are extraordinary beings.
But only they themselves know how dangerous and terrifying this route is.
The higher you stand, the more you can understand the despair of the world!
