Ajian: "Someone should have opened the door to Hades, which caused the rules of this city to change. Everyone can become a dead soul after death. There are more and more of these dead souls, just like raising poison."

Ye Tingbai: "I have always been curious, does the soul really exist?"

"It depends on the situation and the belief. Ordinary people and non-believers will disappear when they die, but under certain special circumstances, non-believers can also give birth to souls."

In fact, it is nothing new for God to influence the rules of the world. The closest thing to him is the mechanization of the deep sea. Within the scope of the deep sea, many substances will get rid of physical limitations and transform into various mechanical creations.

Then this local god can also have similar rules, that is, people will turn into ghosts after death, which is not difficult to understand.

Ye Tingbai sat back in his car and called Xie Cai. Xie Cai behaved normally. He didn't seem to know what happened in Yangcheng at all. He just asked a few more questions and gave a rough summary of what happened here.

I told Ye Tingbai everything.

Mingchuan City is a small city with a population of only about one million. The main business is various agricultural products, so the city is considered to be vast and sparsely populated. In fact, hauntings have happened in Mingchuan for a long time, and they have even become commonplace.

Originally, Mingchuan was also a big city, but one day about eight years ago, things like ghosts appeared in this city for the first time. Many criminals were helpless against such things, because they were not physical things at all.

So the Order began to deploy specially gifted criminal masters around the world to come to this city to destroy ghosts. However, they later discovered that there was no end to this. There were dozens of criminal masters in the team, but the ghosts were killing hundreds every day.

Counting is increasing.

The only reassuring thing is that these ghosts cannot leave Mingchuan. Even some captured ghosts will automatically dissipate after being taken away from Mingchuan. This phenomenon makes the world government helpless. The most important thing is that you cannot tell these ghosts apart.

Which one is malicious and which one is not? By the time they show their malicious intent, it will be too late by the time they deploy the criminal master.

So the World Government issued a decision to slowly abandon the plan, gradually transfer the population, and help ordinary people move their household registrations and settle in other cities. Mingchuan once had a population of tens of millions. After many years of efforts by the World Government, it was finally relocated.

most of the people.

But two years ago, this abandoned plan was hindered. Many people in the stranded population did not want to leave because of many reasons, each of which was different. Even after the government launched the eviction compensation plan, these people still did not want to leave.

Because many people stay here because there can be ghosts here and they can see their deceased family members, and if they leave Mingchuan, these ghosts will disappear.

This abandoned plan encountered unprecedented obstacles, and within two years, the population here remained almost unchanged.

Ye Tingbai couldn't help complaining: "If you don't leave like this, aren't these people afraid of death?"

Ajian then said something particularly meaningful.

"Sometimes what is more terrifying than death is loss, and here, death means another kind of new life."

Ye Tingbai thought about it for a while. It might be a comfort to die and become a ghost. Human beings are very magical. They are very afraid of ghosts and gods, but they hope they exist in their hearts. Many people did not worship gods when they were young, but when they were young,

When he was old, he began to believe in Buddhism, chant sutras, and go to church to pray.

This is just a side expression of their good wishes. They do not want to disappear completely after death, but hope that there will be another world waiting for them. This is a kind of sustenance, sustenance in another thing, to make their own

Life gets another continuation.

Human beings are a highly purposeful species. They do many things for one purpose. Whether they believe in Buddhism or religion, they give selflessly, show kindness, do good deeds, and pay for sesame oil. What is their purpose?

It's very simple. Their goal is to get better treatment, go to heaven, and reach bliss after death in the world of their fantasy and belief.

Of course, we cannot rule out some people who are truly devout in their beliefs and do not mix anything else, but such people are really very rare, so rare that they almost do not exist.

Ye Tingbai: "Let's go then, let's go into the city and have a look."

A Jian's complexion improved a lot, and he no longer worried about the bombing of the hotel. His stupid son went back to look after the hotel and got into Ye Tingbai's car.

A Jian: "It seems that your status in the government is not low."

Ye Tingbai always felt that A Jian was a bit amused, and couldn't help but smile: "You have good eyes, you can see it all."

"I've been gathering dead souls here these days, and I've been getting in trouble from the government. It's certainly not easy for you to lead me in so confidently."

"Do you know any other gods?"

Ajian sighed.

"I knew a lot of them in the past, but not many of them are still alive today."

Ye Tingbai: "Why?"

"Because many people are trying to kill us, I don't have any fighting ability. It's just because the yin and yang are separated, those people can't target me, so I can survive until now."

Ye Tingbai still felt sorry for him. Human beings hunted the gods' favored ones for the same reason as Shenhai asked Ye Tingbai to hunt C'Thun's apostles. They were all afraid of the god's resurgence.

But if the skin is gone, the hair will remain. If the local gods become extinct and the dream world is shattered, humans will become extinct first. Such hunting is obviously not a rational act.

When Ye Tingbai returned to the highway entrance, he was stopped by someone, and after some negotiations, he was released smoothly. Now these people are stopping here not to seal the city, but to prevent outsiders from entering, because in the past few months,

The number of ghosts in Mingchuan has increased, and they have become more ferocious. The government has cut off all supplies here except for necessary daily necessities.

The only food they can eat is rice and noodles, and the supply of fresh vegetables is cut off. They hope to use this method to force those who are still in the city to leave Mingchuan, but the effect is very little. The remaining people are just about the same, not to mention they are hard-core households.

Already.

Ye Tingbai rode his motorcycle into the city. After getting off the highway, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, just when the sun was rising. At this time, he saw many "ghosts" on the roadside.

"Are these ghosts? They don't look much different from humans."

A Jian: "Human beings are yang and ghosts are yin. How come there is no difference?"

At this time, a beggar-looking uncle on the roadside noticed Ye Tingbai sizing him up and ran up excitedly. His figure was erratic. He put his dirty face almost against Ye Tingbai's nose and asked excitedly.

"Can you see me? Do you see me? Give me some food!"

Ye Tingbai slapped him up, and the beggar flew up without landing, turning into fly ash in mid-air. The other ghosts seemed to notice this place, and the whole street became quiet in an instant, which was bustling with activity just a second ago.

The streets were empty the next second.

Ajian got out of the car and looked up at the sky.
