Mo Zhenzhen's idea is good, but ideas are always changing.
She has experienced a lot since she was a child. She has a good handle on people and the world, and she also has her own rules for how to behave in the world.
But growing up in a peaceful country, there were many things that Mo Zhenzhen had never experienced.
For example, now, Mo Zhenzhen experienced for the first time what it means to be depressed when the storm is coming.
The riot of the demon ghosts was indeed stopped, but the situation in the city did not return to its original state.
The streets have become deserted, and all the previously opened stores have closed. From time to time, you can see ghosts standing coldly in front of the windows and doorways.
The bustling city before suddenly became depressed, and a sense of tension permeated the city.
The worst person Mo Zhenzhen has ever encountered in her life is Su Zhenzhen's sub-personality, and the biggest criminal incident she has ever encountered was following her and stealing her used things.
This was the first time she had encountered such tranquility before a riot.
And it was much more serious than she imagined.
People who have never experienced it cannot understand it. The air seems to be thick, the skin seems to be pricked with tiny cow hairs, and the feeling of emotional depression and panic is even more uncomfortable than a real disaster.
Mo Zhenzhen only took An Qiaoxuan to the gate of the community and then came back. Once the door was closed, it blocked the prying eyes of the evil spirits outside. Mo Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, and when An Qiaoxuan had already spontaneously went to take stock of her home. While eating, she took out her phone.
Mo Zhenzhen thought about this call for a long time and finally made it.
This time the phone rang several times before it was picked up. After picking up, there was only the sound of shallow breathing on the other side.
After waiting, Mo Zhenzhen did not exchange greetings with the other party, but first brought up a topic that everyone knew.
"Zhang Qingyue came to see me."
The person on the other side waited and saw that Mo Zhenzhen didn't say anything more, so the person on the other side spoke slowly.
"It's true that I didn't watch him this time. Don't be anxious or nervous. He won't hurt you. I will catch him as soon as possible."
Mo Zhenzhen laughed, which was a bit cold, interrupting the other person's next words.
The two of them fell into silence again, and Mo Zhenzhen suddenly talked about other things.
"Taoist Master, you are a Taoist priest, do you have a Taoist certificate?"
"...We Taoists don't pay attention to this."
So this is also a Taoist priest without a Taoist certificate, so why didn't they take the Taoist certificate exam?
Mo Zhenzhen closed her eyes and began to tumble through this part of the clues in her mind.
What is the Taoist temple where Zhang Qingyue and the Taoist priest live like?
Zhang Qingyue is a high-spirited person. If this Taoist temple is so good and profound, he will definitely not give up so easily. He will leave Ruo everyone to his senior brother and then go down the mountain to explore on his own.
This Taoist priest should be called the Guanzhu based on his status, but this Guanzhu cooperates with a small shop that sells funerals to earn some handmade money...
Through the performance of these two people, Mo Zhenzhen can almost outline the image of a Taoist temple with few incense, dilapidated and poor.
Maybe this image is different from the realistic Taoist imagination, but poverty is certain.
Mo Zhenzhen knows very well what it is like to be poor, so she also knows how far a poor person can go.
For example, the matter of raising ghosts...
"Taoist Master, I heard that your Taoist temple is quite far from here, at least half an hour's drive away."
"..."
Mo Zhenzhen raised her eyes to look at An Qiaoxuan, who was busy planning his fortune, and told a fact that was obvious but that none of them had ever mentioned.
"What kind of amulet can protect a mortal from being attacked by zombies for more than ten minutes?"
Mo Zhenzhen had doubts before, but the previous evidence could not prove that Gu Cheng had a problem. The best solution was that Gu Cheng had a treasure that could protect him, and then supported him until Gu Chang and the Taoist rescued him.
But now, when it is known that there is a ghost, Gu Cheng's situation can be changed.
Gu Cheng, an ordinary person, was locked in the house by an old lady and stayed in the same room with zombies for more than ten minutes. When Gu Chang and the Taoist priest arrived, the most likely outcome for Gu Cheng was not to be rescued, but to be dead.
Gu Cheng was Gu Chang's only son. His only son died suddenly. His death was so sudden. Can Gu Chang accept it?
The Taoist priest and Gu Chang have a cooperative relationship, and there is a lot of pretentiousness between the two parties. If Gu Chang begs, can the Taoist priest really stand by and watch?
Now, the matter comes back, why does this Taoist priest not have a Taoist certificate?
Even if it is not easy to get a Taoist certificate, the country is tolerant of Taoist priests with a good heritage. Generally speaking, as long as there is an orthodox Taoist recommendation, it is not difficult to get the Taoist certificate.
So why didn't he?
If this matter were placed in a normal world, Mo Zhenzhen might not care about it, because everyone has their own ambitions, and people don't like to bother with things that focus on cultivating the Tao and don't interfere with other people's affairs.
But now, it is very possible that Gu Cheng is also a ghost. The Taoist priest must have arrived earlier than the police. Gu Cheng, a ghost, is most likely related to that time.
Coupled with the fact that the city is full of scoundrels who should not exist, and Zhang Qingyue and the Taoist priest come from the same sect, it is really hard for Mo Zhenzhen not to think more about, is this Taoist temple outside the city really an orthodox Taoist temple? Even if the Taoist temple is orthodox, do they only learn orthodox Taoist doctrines and techniques?
Mo Zhenzhen was waiting for the Taoist priest's answer.
But she waited and waited, and the last thing she waited for was the beep of the phone being hung up.
The phone has not been hung up!
Mo Zhenzhen paused, and after about twenty or thirty seconds, Mo Zhenzhen dialed the phone again.
This time, Mo Zhenzhen waited longer before the Taoist priest picked up the phone again.
There was still the sound of shallow breathing, as if she was waiting for Mo Zhenzhen to speak first.
He is escaping.
After Mo Zhenzhen understood it, she decided to go straight to the point.
"Gu Cheng has been made into a ghost by you, so Taoist priest, you should also know the current situation. I don't want to die. There are other living people in the city, and they don't want to die either. Taoist priest, we want to live."
"You can leave."
The Taoist priest said this, but what Mo Zhenzhen was thinking about was that day when Gu Cheng called her in panic and told her over and over again not to leave because the city was on lockdown.
"The government outside already knows about this, right?"
"..."
No need for the Taoist priest to answer, Mo Zhenzhen already knew the answer.
At the same time, she also understood the Taoist priest's position.
This Taoist priest seems to be neutral, but in fact he is leaning towards his junior brother.
There are elements of cowardice and avoidance in his temperament. In his opinion, his junior brother has caused such a big trouble, and he himself cannot escape the blame. He does not dare to face the government officials and Taoists outside, so he cowers here. Inside the city.
In this case, what the Taoist said before that he accidentally let Zhang Qingyue go is no longer credible.
Mo Zhenzhen frowned slightly and had a clear plan in her mind.
"Taoist Priest, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't want to get involved in your supernatural things and I don't want to know more about them. I just want to live. Taoist Priest, can you show your kindness and let me and the people who are still alive in the city leave? We Just normal people, just trying to live.”
Mo Zhenzhen's voice was soft and pitiful, as she begged him.
If Mo Zhenzhen directly cursed the Taoist priest at this time, the Taoist priest might just hang up the phone and ignore Mo Zhenzhen.
But her gentle plea made the Taoist priest feel guilty.
"You...sigh..."
"Taoist Master, there are so many people in the city and too many people have died here. Can you, can you let us go? There are not many people alive in the city now. We, we..."
Mo Zhenzhen choked up as she spoke.
Her choked voice was weak but very emotional, and the Taoist priest who was listening there suddenly panicked.
"I'll try, I'll talk to him, I...Oh, don't be like this, just wait. In fact, there is nothing wrong with becoming a ghost."
Mo Zhenzhen sneered in her heart, but her face still had that gentle and gentle voice.
"Taoist Master, please, if I can get out alive this time, I will definitely go to the temple to light longevity incense for you, and go to the Taoist temple to set up a longevity tablet for you."
The Taoist priest chatted with Mo Zhenzhen for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Looking at the phone in her hand, Mo Zhenzhen hesitated and dialed the police station.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Hey, this is the XX police station."
Mo Zhenzhen chose to speak directly this time.
"Comrade police, I want to know how many people are alive in our city now. Can you send us away?"
The policeman on the line paused for a moment before speaking seriously.
"Don't think too much. Just stay at home and don't go out. Nothing will happen."
"Comrade police, I already know that the vast majority of people in the city have turned into ghosts."
"...Don't be afraid. They are all people, and they are also victims. They will not take the initiative to hurt others. You stay at home and close the doors and windows and do not go out. Leave other matters to us. We will do our best to protect the safety of the people. You... …”
Mo Zhenzhen closed her eyes and listened carefully to his words of comfort before speaking.
"Can you tell me why you are unwilling to send us away?"
This time, the silence on the other side was longer. Almost ten seconds passed before a soft voice came from the other side.
"Outside the city, there is white fog."
There is white fog outside the city, not the thin kind of fog, but the thick white fog.
White fog surrounded Y City. People outside the city could not get in, and people inside the city could not get out.
Even if someone tries to break through the white mist, they will be killed by countless ghosts in the white mist.
At this moment, Mo Zhenzhen was enlightened.
No wonder, no wonder the government officials surrounding them outside didn't break through. No wonder the police officers in the city would rather take the simple method of eliminating zombies than take the initiative to evacuate the masses.
The policeman paused after saying this, and then wanted to explain to Mo Zhenzhen what white mist was, but he didn't want Mo Zhenzhen to take the initiative to speak at this time.
"I can lead people through the white fog. Comrade police, can you gather the living people in the city to evacuate with me?"
"Little comrade, listen to me, things are not as simple as you think. That white mist..."
Love is actually a selfish emotion. For example: love is letting go, love is perfection, these statements are just a kind of 'virtue', just like being a gentleman and being kind to others, they are a kind of control and persuasion of primitive instincts. Love is private, possession, and desire. So when Gu Cheng and Mo Zhenzhen said that, they actually had good intentions. His fear was real, and at the same time, he instinctively wanted to keep Mo Zhenzhen, even if it killed Mo Zhenzhen.
