"Let's get straight to the point, right?!"
Ghost looked familiar and squeezed into the passenger seat of the car.
He stretched his arms, crossed his fingers and stretched them out, his attitude was casual and comfortable.
"Let's put it this way, gunsmith brother, either I came here to squat on you, or we just happened to bump into each other outside a department store."
Xueming held Ghost's mobile phone and looked at the barcode on the ID card again. He checked the chat records again and was convinced that this was the station's VIP, so he finally relaxed his vigilance.
There were just a few things he couldn't figure out.
"Are you a spirit?"
Ghost didn't mean to be shy at all, and told him frankly: "Yes, I have been dead for a long time!"
Xueming: "How did you do it? Aren't you afraid of the sun?"
"Of course I'm afraid of the light, so I can only stay in the dark area where there is no light from the salary king, and do some dirty and dirty work." As he said this, Ghost raised his leg, his movements were frivolous, and his expression was rippling, just sitting on the main control On the rubber mat in front, there is no seat belt (although it is not necessary), and the vehicle is allowed to sound an alarm, without any sense of VIP restraint and self-consciousness.
This reminded Xueming of JOE and his brother Wen Bucai. The same goes for this VIP. He seems to be a special unit that has lived for a long time. He has this kind of character of playing in the world. He doesn't care about his personal image or social interaction at all. etiquette.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey." Ghost reminded Xueming: "If you are curious about me and ask questions sincerely, then don't rush to start the car and drive. Let's have a good chat."
Jiang Xueming: "Not curious."
"Hey!" Ghost became anxious and immediately changed his mind: "Why don't you wait a while? I still have a lot of things I want to tell you! I beg you sincerely, listen to these words before leaving!~"
Jiang Xueming scratched his head, took out the car keys, and returned his mobile phone and ID card.
"Then you tell me."
"As an intelligence agency, our Gate of Wonders certainly needs me like this!~" Ghost gently stroked his cheek, feeling like he was displaying jewelry: "A hero who is naturally beautiful, handsome, radiant, and has outstanding abilities."
"Although not many people know my name and people are always cheering for the protagonists on the stage, behind the scenes I am the one who controls the seal of victory and puts the most critical mission briefing into your hands."
"Environmental investigation, basic enemy situation, armed configuration, ecological data, topographic map drawing, climate and water vein data, in the dark and lightless underground city, without the power of the sun, the crazy butterfly shows its ferocious nature, and I It becomes another phantom sun - leaving these monsters and ghosts with nowhere to hide."
Xue Ming raised his hands in a serious manner, clapped softly, raised his voice, and imitated Brother Ghost's drama: "You are really talented."
"Don't you want to say something else?" As if he was embarrassed by himself, the spirit of unknown age felt a little at a loss.
Jiang Xueming immediately replied: "How about I give you a few knocks? The kind that makes a loud bang?"
Ghost waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, no, no, no."
Xueming started the tram. Since Fenfang Huanmeng had hit the front-wheel-drive car a few times, there seemed to be some minor malfunction in the main shaft. The car body began to vibrate and it could no longer move on the road.
Xueming was about to repair the car and troubleshoot it when Ghost immediately called out his true name, "[Ghost·Wandering Ghost]! Find a way to fix it!"
Thick black fog emanated from the evil spirit's arms, and it crawled into the bottom of the car along the car window. After a while, the car began to crawl, accelerating as Xueming stepped on the switch.
"Awesome." Jiang Xueming didn't hesitate to praise him. He had always been a star-praising person.
Ghost: "It's just a joke, the drive shaft is broken. This kind of ghost trick can only last for a short period of time. We are in the inner city, and your car needs to be repaired."
As the journey continued, the scenery outside the car window gradually became dim and bright. After crossing the main road of Heba, we entered the outer city of Death Couple City. Compared with the scene ten years ago, some changes seemed to have taken place——
——The dilapidated ones become even more dilapidated. Where the desperadoes did not take care of them, they fly forward with time and slowly rot and decay.
However, someone took care of the signboard shops, large and small businesses and residential buildings. These buildings gradually became alive. It seemed that they were inspired by the ironworks. The residents slowly began to find the meaning of life and no longer used repeaters. Many notes and advice are left in the community, like small advertisements.
From this information, we can know that many passengers are following Xueming's example and want to completely wake up the desperadoes in the Death Couple City.
"Gunsmith, it seems that your work was not in vain." Ghost opened his two palms, and like magic, a dark seed fell into his palm: "Pyre good karma, and a good flower will bloom. , in the end it will produce good results, which is the best thing in the world.”
The dark and shiny lotus sprouts from its roots and blooms quickly in the palm of the spirit body.
"It's been ten years. First, some passengers saw the advice you left, and then many people came to follow you and imitate you. After all, you are a legend - so the city seemed to be coming back to life."
Jiang Xueming didn't care about the changes that had taken place in the Dead Couple City. He and these residents were strangers to each other. This could only be said to be a coincidence.
"I'm not that powerful, at most I'm just a leader."
"Yes!" Ghost grinned: "But how difficult is it to take the lead in doing something in this world? How scary is it to see something you have never seen before?"
"Let's talk about you." Jiang Xueming followed the road sign and turned into the main road. The dead partner's mechanism was very large. The entire ruins group was also divided into internal and external areas and high walls of the fortress. There was plenty of time to chat.
Ghost: "Tell me back?"
Jiang Xueming: "Yes, let's talk about you - as far as I know, the Stardust Warriors cannot leave here. How did you get out? Does it have anything to do with your current state?"
Ghost: "Of course it does matter! I am a spirit. According to the spirit classification method of the Four Spirits, I am an evil spirit that can wander around and cause evil spirits. I remember Mr. Victor's good friend Jack Martin. Too."
Jiang Xueming: "I know very little about this type of spirit entity. They are very rare."
Ghost smiled playfully and murmured in a low voice: "Of course it is rare. Monsters with physical essence are more alive and stronger, because there is a material basis to support their life structure - we are missing this part of the essence, so Became a free evil spirit."
Especially the last short section, the sound is almost inaudible.
"According to the subdivision of the basic law of three elements, it is said in the introduction to psychics that Aohun Mingde's current state is also an evil spirit."
Jiang Xueming: "You said bad things about BOSS."
Ghost: "No!"
Jiang Xueming: "It's not a good idea for you to secretly scold the boss."
Ghost: "You didn't record, did you?"
Jiang Xueming: "No."
"Then I will continue." Ghost breathed a sigh of relief: "There are many new passengers. Before arriving at the station, they always have to accept strange death threats from Ao Mingde, such as ghosts, various kinds of SMS scams, electrical malfunctions and harassing calls - people around you become nagging, hallucinating, urging you to take a ride, take a ride! ~ This is the evil spirit of Ao Mingde trick!"
"As a member of the Stardust Warriors, I should have stayed in Pankrasin Palace forever, fighting the monsters in the inner city, forever and ever."
"But the horn of war is blowing, crazy butterflies are raging in the world, and the proud and ruthless virtue is calling me. Many compatriots will suffer from the murderous hands of the ogre."
"then."
A light source appeared in Ghost's eyes, and he looked at the street scene of his hometown with a melancholy expression. The palace of his ancestors was the place where he was born and raised.
"The soldiers in the military camp, as well as Mr. Luo Ping'an, they held the Pankrasin Supreme Ceremony for me, asking me to escape from this hell and help Aohen Mingde."
Jiang Xueming: "It seems that the ceremony was very painful."
Ghost: "It's really painful."
Jiang Xueming: "It's admirable."
Ghost: "It's an embarrassing, painful memory."
Jiang Xueming: "Can you tell me in detail? I'm very curious. If I become a desperado, I might be able to escape this way."
Ghost: "It is a very complex large-scale psychic ritual that requires many precious catalysts. The cost is high and the opportunity is rare."
Jiang Xueming: "Why did I choose you?"
Ghost: "Because I am the weakest one - Pankrasin is the martial arts of ancient Greek fighters, and it is also the earliest representative name for unrestricted fighting."
"Oh, another C√B cup competition has begun." Jiang Xueming's tone was terrifyingly calm, but his words were like a knife: "We have decided on the loser, and he will bear the heavy responsibility of protecting Ao Hun Mingde."
"Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!~" Ghost let out a vicious laugh, holding his stomach and shaking all over. The laughter brought up bursts of black smoke, and even the basic carbon form could not be maintained: "That's right. ! So it’s painful and embarrassing..."
"But I have to say." Ghost casually took out Xueming's pocket to get a cigarette. After touching for a long time and finding nothing, he said with dissatisfaction: "It is precisely because I am the weakest one that I am qualified to leave." This ruins—other comrades-in-arms must continue to guard the gates of hell to prevent terrible spiritual disasters from spilling out."
"You told me before that your security officer was not willing to take you to this place?" Jiang Xueming said as he parked the car. Only fifty meters ahead was the first checkpoint in the inner city. Behind the checkpoint The road style becomes magical.
There are spider web-like cracks everywhere. In the area that was the worst hit that year, no one has repaired the roads affected by the earthquake. This is a forbidden area for life.
There are thick pipeline channels on both sides extending all the way to the periphery of the collapsed building. Helicopters can cooperate with the garrison personnel on the ground to provide the most basic water and electricity, but to repair the buildings and restructure the roads, long-term engineering operations will inevitably pollute this dead rune. The earth that has passed has brought more fresh essence.
It is easy to fill more flesh and blood into this dead city, but it becomes very difficult to take the flesh and blood out of here.
The Pankrasin supreme ritual that Ghost spoke of was more like separating his three elements, leaving only part of his spiritual essence and soul essence, and his body completely disappeared.
"Yes, my security officer has never liked me very much." Brother Ghost got out of the car and explained while helping to move things: "He always said that it is inconvenient to do anything with me, and the children's channel becomes Watch SpongeBob SquarePants at midnight, and Patrick on the screen will bleed from his orifices and sing a barcarolle."
"As for other things, they are even more evil. Needless to say, psychic objects like mirrors and combs are not normal if they are not haunted. If we encounter a cemetery in the wild, he and I will be shocked."
Jiang Xueming asked while packing up the tent: "Don't you have a waiter?"
Ghost snapped his fingers and asked Xueming not to rush to build a shelter: "I'm not qualified, I'm not qualified - the people closest to the sentinel unit should be the special agents of Guangling Zhixi. When collecting intelligence and performing special tasks, these The big living people make me feel friendly. As for daily life, this security officer is responsible for it. He will tell me which city is in trouble again, which sect has started to cause trouble again, and I have to set out immediately to investigate This matter."
"So, I just happened to meet you?" Jiang Xueming hugged the tent and set up the shelves of the trolley.
Ghost commanded the derived black mist, turning them into dexterous tentacles, rolling up the goods and placing them on the shelves, "Yes, I just wanted to hitch a ride, but I didn't expect to bump into a masked man using Soul Power. Guest, so I paid more attention and followed."
Jiang Xueming: "My soul power is of no use to you?"
Ghost was having a hard time dispatching his spirit body to carry heavy objects. It was obvious that his spirit power did not seem to have much power, let alone destructive properties. He was able to temporarily repair the transmission shaft of the car, which must have been his best effort.
"I'm already dead. A dead person doesn't even need sleep, so how can he dream? Your fragrant dreams can only deal with living things."
"You actually know its special abilities?" Jiang Xueming was a little surprised. Only a few people know the true abilities of Fragrant Dream.
"Everyone knows your special abilities." Ghost said one thing without any hesitation: "Those who do intelligence work must know how capable the soldiers are, otherwise they will not be able to plan a course of action for you."
When I arrived in front of the checkpoint, I saw a child jumping out with dust on his face and body. After a while, the powder beat irregularly and gradually integrated into the child's body. It seemed that he had just woken up. The state is also slowly recovering.
When you got closer, you could see clearly that it was a boy. He was shouting loudly: "Die to him! Die to him!"
Judging from the spoken pronunciation of Plastic English, like the two sisters Nana and Jessica, they are both of Japanese descent.
"These are grapes." Ghost introduced Xueming and guided Xueming to the broken road in the inner city: "Our checkpoint defense soldiers."
Jiang Xueming was surprised: "He is so young."
"Yes." Ghost sighed: "You are so young."
Only in this sigh, Xueming is an adult, and everything seems to be explained without words.
"His name is Grape? Is he also a member of the Stardust Warriors?"
Ghost nodded, casually took a bag of fruit from the shelf and handed it to the child.
"Most of our comrades can't remember their own names. Names only make us suffer. They remind us of our relatives, friends, and loved ones. They make us live in purgatory, a torture like a mountain of knives and a frying pan. We can call it whatever we like— - He likes grapes, so over a long period of time, he gradually learns to grow up, lose his previous identity and become a grape."
Grape took away the fruits, only took the green fruits he liked the most, and sent back the rest.
"Thank you! Damn him! Keep the rest, don't have too much essence!"
The little guy pointed at Jiang Xueming——
"——Who is this guy?"
Ghost put his arm around Xueming's shoulders and responded with a smile: "He is here for class. He is a great hero in the underground world. He is an unknown person."
"That's great!" Grape Boy's eyes lit up and he cheered with joy. He jumped on the spot and his intestines rushed out with the excitement: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
It seems that the structure of the death runes around the inner city is very complex, and Grape's physical form is very unstable. He was too young at the moment of death, and he has been using this body to persist until now.
"Damn it! My clothes are torn, I have to find a way to make a tighter one! Just like the ones you have!" Putao held his stomach and finally stuffed his organs back into the rag clothes.
Xueming thought about it and asked Fenfang Huanmeng to work overtime. He took off the clothes from the luggage rack and put them on Grape Boy. Fragrant Fantasy cut and routed the clothes on the spot and made a new set of clothes for the kid.
Putao clenched his little fists, and under the control of Fang Fang Huan Meng, he looked straight.
"Hey! Yossi! You did a good job!"
Ghost crossed his hands and looked smug: "How is it! It's awesome!"
It seems that it is not the fragrant dream that makes the clothes, but the wonderful operation of Ghost.
Grape Boy said excitedly: "Bring him in quickly! He must be the gunsmith, right? Everyone must want to see him!"
"These Stardust warriors? Do they all know me?" Jiang Xueming was very confused.
Ghost replied without hesitation: "Of course, we are border guards at the ancestral palace, not prisoners."
As he said this, he pointed to the thick pipelines on the dilapidated ruins. There were also fans that were waterproof against rain and moisture, and there were complete plastic covers to protect these lines.
"We have internet and electricity here, we receive monthly funding, and we also have clean drinking water every once in a while. Although desperadoes don't need to drink water, it feels great to experience drinking water - living is a very luxurious thing. Always remember this feeling.”
"As for how the Stardust Warriors knew you—"
Ghost asked Xueming to turn on his phone and bring up his anonymous business order backend applet.
"——Look at the order."
Jiang Xueming's workshop often has to modify weapons for people, cut and manufacture parts, and provide customized services for the entire gun. Repair psionic prop catalysts, renovate clubs and armor.
The evil spirit moved his fingers, opened his mobile phone, and a new commission was sent to Xueming. The reward for entrusting the anonymous person to make children's clothing has been sent, a total of fifty pyroxene currency.
Jiang Xueming squinted and finally made out the strings of business orders in the dim light environment, most of which were weapons customization.
"You are all my customers emotionally?"
"After the end of the expedition era, our place has been sending you weapons orders. The security in other areas has improved, and there is not so much demand for advanced customization." Ghost patted Putao's butt and asked the boy to go back to sleep and keep Physical and mental strength, "It just so happens that you came here in person today, why don't you provide after-sales service to my brothers on site?"
Xueming thought about it. He didn't care about the logistics of the workshop, and he didn't know where the things he made were sent.
I can vaguely remember a few particularly outrageous business order requests——
——This is what the guests ask.
"I need a heavy weapon that can kill lizard-like creatures that are 1,455 centimeters long at close range. It must be a cold weapon. This guy is not afraid of bullets and is very fast. Do you have a way to slay a dragon? Waiting online urgent."
"I need a set of hard body armor with insulating protection, but it doesn't need to be too hard. My enemy will launch a projectile similar to a bone spike with a muzzle velocity of about 140 meters per second. His movements are very fancy. If This set of carrying equipment is strong enough that I can use a high-speed camera to record his movements and study them slowly.”
"There is also a big enough backpack. The scene here is quite special. After beating this guy, I will face the next strong enemy. Visually, the weight is about four and a half tons. He is a big guy. He needs insulating armor because of his big size. The eyes seem to shoot lightning."
"And that's it."
Jiang Xueming's expression was like TOM's, as if he had seen a ghost. He suddenly felt that the BOSS sent him to such a ghost place to strengthen his combat capabilities. Is this reasonable? Isn't this a little bit for him as a homo sapiens? Super class.
"After-sales service, right? Okay"
