Chapter 334: The Cursed Thing Asking for a Monthly Ticket)
Late at night on the first day that Lin Zhengying arrived, Chen Hai still hadn't rested. The supernatural moderator, the supernatural space, the supernatural research center, and Chen Dachui who raised ghosts. Everything he experienced today made it difficult for him to sleep.
A few minutes later, Chen Hai's cell phone rang. It was the first draft sent by the suspense authors. Ten authors and four editors worked together for several hours to compile a supernatural legend that met the most basic requirements.
After receiving the manuscript, Chen Hai got up from the bed and was going to go next door to let Lin Zhengying take a look at the manuscript and give him some suggestions for revision. After all, the main force in dealing with ghosts was this top Taoist priest.
Originally, Chen Hai wanted to live with Lin Zhengying. It was not only safe, but also convenient for discussing matters. However, Lin Zhengying seemed to have some inconvenience, so he opened two rooms.
Opening the door to the room, the pale yellow light at the door illuminated the entire deserted corridor. This corridor, which had no difference as usual, now seemed to Chen Hai to be full of dangers. Maybe this was the sequelae of knowing that there were ghosts in this world.
.
After shaking his head to clear away some of the messy thoughts, Chen Hai took the talisman given by Lin Zhengying and walked a few steps forward. As he walked, he kept looking around to guard against possible accidents.
The 'Do Not Disturb' sign at Lin Zhengying's door did not light up, so it seemed that he was most likely not asleep.
"Taoist Master, are you asleep?" Chen Hai asked after gently knocking on the door twice.
"No." Lin Zhengying said, walking to the door and opening it directly, "Has the story been written?"
Chen Hai nodded, handed the phone to Lin Zhengying, and followed him into the room. I have to say that the moment he saw Lin Zhengying, the feeling of security filling his heart was really good.
In Lin Zhengying's room, all the lights were on, illuminating the area brightly. The seat next to the window was moved to face the window. There was a book placed on the small tea table, which seemed to be empty.
Opened.
"Sit down, let me take a look first." Lin Zhengying pointed at the chair opposite her and said.
After sitting down, from Chen Hai's perspective, the book was read upside down, but this did not faze him. As a person who could be admitted to a top university, Chen Hai's spatial thinking and spatial imagination are both good.
.
Stare at the words on the cover and reorganize them in your mind.
Da Dong Zhen Jing? Chen Hai blinked his eyes. He had seen these four words before. It was an introductory book to Taoism.
Why is a Taoist master like Lin Zhengying reading this kind of introductory book now?
Chen Hai was idle and began to think wildly.
'Is it possible that the most basic thing is the most important? Just like the Huangting Sutra, which is also a beginner's book, you can directly attain enlightenment after you understand it thoroughly.'
'No, no, it's more likely that the Taoist priest's book is different from the one on the Internet. Maybe it's some secret version that contains the universe.'
Lin Zhengying looked at Chen Hai who was a little dull and wanted to laugh. He knocked on the table lightly and said, "Wake up."
"Oh." Chen Hai was stunned for a moment as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then quickly reacted, "Have you finished reading?"
"Well, I wrote my revision comments directly next to the manuscript. It's enough to revise it and make sure there are no big logical errors." Lin Zhengying handed the phone back to Chen Haidao.
"Okay, I'll let them revise it now." Chen Hai took the phone and stood up to contact the authors and editors directly.
After Chen Hai went out, Lin Zhengying sat on a chair, looking at the curtains in front of the window, motionless.
He could memorize the big scriptures on the table before he entered the God Realm. Now they are just used for decoration. His problems and confusions cannot be solved by other things, only by himself.
Because of this confusion, Lin Zhengying has not had a good rest for a long time. Fortunately, after entering the third level, the necessary rest time every day has become much shorter and the recovery speed is much faster, so there will be no problem if he sleeps less.
.
"Hey." Lin Zhengying let out a long sigh, unwilling to close his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the crowded and bustling ghost market. What happened next was a nightmare for him.
After sending the revision comments to the editor, Chen Hai opened the copy and prepared to take a look at the story and the revision comments that came with it.
There are no surprises in the story. Due to time constraints and Chen Hai's request, the author and editor unanimously chose the most stable and clichéd story template. To put it bluntly, someone turned into a ghost after an unjust death.
Various supernatural events began to occur around the place where the ghost was, and many people died.
They have already drafted the publicity plan. When promoting it, they only use the mysterious parts at the beginning of the story to attract some heat that is not rumored. They rely on these and all kinds of netizens on the Internet.
, it is very easy to make this thing popular for a few days.
And it won’t leave any hidden dangers. The memory of the Internet is very short. It’s not easy for a hotspot to last for a few days. Once there are no promoters, things will naturally disappear in front of everyone’s eyes.
In addition, the difference between this story and other similar stories is that the various details in this story are very realistic and a lot of effort has been put into it. If you don't know the truth, you may have a lot of misunderstandings.
People think this is a ghost story adapted from real events.
Chen Hai was a little stunned when he saw the revision opinions given by Lin Zhengying. Lin Zhengying directly rejected the overly detailed description and asked them to blur some settings of the story, especially the origin and history of the ghost, so that they should not write it as if it were true. However,
In this case, it would be a waste of time to hire so many authors.
Forget it, what's more important is the subsequent modifications to the rules for survival and killing.
The escape route hidden in the original killing rules is very simple, but it is difficult to think of it. This is in line with the original requirements given by Chen Hai and the others, and in line with the internal logic of ghost stories - the more difficult it is to find the escape route, the easier it is to use.
They all cheated when they found out how difficult it was to make a living. It was equivalent to taking the exam with the answers, fearing which questions would be difficult.
In Lin Zhengying's revision comments, the requirement for this part is to reduce the difficulty of discovery and keep the escape route as simple as possible. Perhaps Lin Zhengying also knows that the ghost story compiled in this way does not look like a ghost story, so he added two additional comments in this part.
Words - try your best.
For the first time, Chen Hai thought that Lin Zhengying didn't plan to copy the answers after he had the answers, but planned to do the questions directly. Otherwise, why would he emphasize that the questions should be simple?
In addition to these, Lin Zhengying also proposed modifications to the ending. The original ending was that after the trapped people escaped and destroyed several key nodes, the ghosts would dissipate in the air due to the disappearance of their dependencies, which was considered a relief. Lin Zhengying will later
Half of the paragraph was directly crossed out without any other comments. It seems that the modification is to delete it.
After being stunned, Chen Hai touched his chin and began to think. There is no doubt that Lin Zhengying is an expert in this kind of thing, and after getting along with him for most of the day, the other party's dedication is also on his face, so maybe these are the
There are certain problems with the plot itself.
While Chen Hai continued to think along Lin Zhengying's correction suggestions, somewhere in the world, Zheng Yimin and Ji Jiezheng were sitting together worriedly.
"Old Zheng, according to the rules, the reminder should be given tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then it will be the next mission." Ji Jie looked at Zheng Yimin beside her and said.
Hiss~hoo~ Zheng Yimin blew out a smoke ring and said, "I know, but didn't we receive a gift from the Taoist priest? Maybe the level of danger this time will not be so exaggerated."
Ji Jie waved her right hand twice to disperse the second-hand smoke from the tip of her nose. She was a non-smoker and hated second-hand smoke, but she was brought close to such a hellish place. Others used tobacco to fight and soothe their nerves. She was completely able to do so.
Understood.
"I hope so. Actually, Lao Zheng, I have an idea." Ji Jie was hesitant.
"I've had your idea, but it's not appropriate. Don't forget, we're on a mission, not letting off steam." Zheng Yimin put out the cigarette butt in his hand, and within a few seconds, he couldn't help but reach for the cigarette case again.
Ji Jie was silent. Her natural idea was to ask Lin Zhengying and Chen Hai for help. She knew it would be useless if she didn't do this before, but it's different now.
After the mission prompt comes out, they will have a period of time to go to the mission location. If they can rely on this time to contact Lin Zhengying, maybe the horror movie will suddenly become a kung fu movie, and the degree of danger will be greatly reduced.
Just involving non-mission personnel in this way can easily lead to additional casualties. Even if there are no casualties, the newcomers next time may be these people.
"And if they don't play a bigger role here, contacting them rashly might ruin the overall situation. Then you and I will both be sinners." Zheng Yimin continued, as if he was speaking to Ji Jie, but also saying something to Ji Jie.
for myself.
"You're right. If this shabby bungalow exists for one more day because of us, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die." Ji Jie rubbed her face and said.
"Okay, don't say such unlucky words." Zheng Yimin said and nodded towards the window, "Look outside, this shabby place looks like it's going to be developed for real estate."
Ji Jie looked out the window. She had noticed a long time ago that about half a month ago, in the fog outside the window, the color of one area seemed to have become darker. As time went by, the fog in that area became darker and darker.
It's getting thinner and thinner, and now you can vaguely see the outline, like an apartment building.
"People need money at most to develop real estate, but here it costs lives." Ji Jie murmured to herself as she looked at the looming apartment.
Zheng Yimin didn't continue, he was just counting the floors of the apartment. Currently, there are seven or eight floors in total. Each floor seems to have four or five rooms. Calculated in this way, if there are two people in each room like theirs, then
At least fifty-six people can stay there.
"Officer Zheng, Officer Ji, and Chief Zhuang have asked everyone to go to the first floor for a meeting. Are you going?" A voice came from outside the door.
"Go, we'll be there soon." Zheng Yimin responded loudly.
The full name of the head of the house is Zhuang Ming. He is the person who has experienced the most tasks in the small bungalow. He has experienced a total of seven tasks so far. Because he has the most seniority and can turn his head quickly, he is deeply trusted by everyone, so he was elected as the head of the house.
.
As for the police identities of Zheng Yimin and Ji Jie, when they entered this place, they were wearing serious police uniforms. In addition, when they first woke up, their way of speaking sounded like police officers, so their identities were confirmed.
.
This status also brings them a lot of convenience, because many of the people trapped here also have families, and there are official personnel here, and they can also rely on official personnel and their outside family members to carry out restricted activities.
Contact and help, especially financial help.
And because of the presence of official personnel, the atmosphere in the entire small bungalow has also improved a lot. If you need to call the police uncle, everyone here in Yanhuang knows this. Although they can't help after coming in, they have also succeeded in stabilizing the morale of the military.
.
"Old Zheng, do you want to bring this?" Ji Jie gently patted the peach wood sword on the table.
"..." Zheng Yimin thought for a while, "Bring it with you."
Every time you go through a mission, you have a chance to get some cursed objects. This kind of thing can provide certain help in other tasks. This is also well-known to people here, but you will pay a price every time you use it. The most serious one is
The ghost of the cursed object awakens, causing the difficulty of the entire mission to increase by more than one level.
Despite this, every cursed object can still be called a trump card. Most people will hide these things tightly. Currently, there are only three cursed objects on the outside of the bungalow, and one of them is on Zhuang Ming's house.
In the hands of Lu Yi, a woman who has experienced four missions, and in the hands of Nie Yu, a newcomer who has just come in.
When the two of them arrived at the large living room on the first floor, the place was already full of people.
Of course, these people may not all be participating in the next mission, but it never hurts to participate in more preparation activities, so everyone will basically arrive at the discussion time before each mission.
When Ji Jie's figure appeared, everyone's eyes slowly focused on the peach wood sword she was holding in her hand.
"Officer Ji, what you are holding is..." Zhuang Ming spoke expectantly.
Ji Jie nodded, "This is a cursed object."
Although the Taomu Sword was not brought out in the mission at all, and it is not a cursed object, it is easier for others to understand and accept it.
"Great, we were just discussing whether to rent a cursed object to you. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to not have a cursed object during the mission." Zhuang Ming said happily.
"Have you identified the people participating in the mission?" Zheng Yimin asked after sitting down.
"Well, if nothing goes wrong this time, if calculated according to the time, it should be a four-person mission, you and Officer Ji, Liu Xingyu and Chen Mo." Zhuang Ming said.
Although the rules of the small bungalow are four missions a month, with a one-week interval between each time, the mission time is not included in this week. The time calculation is from the completion of the mission to the start of preparation for the next mission.
time, so in most cases, the participants of the next task can be calculated in advance by relying on the differentiation of time.
