Chapter 22 The resentful soul in Anyang River
"How is that possible? Brother Bai is an S-level conspirator. He can contain even the kind of weirdness that can destroy an entire city!"
With the weirdness of a semi-complete weird field, a B-level contract trickster can perform containment tasks.
Not to mention an S-level Pact Master, even an A-level Pact Master can suppress this kind of weirdness.
"Well, Bai Zuo's classification is quite special."
Ji Wu was a little embarrassed. Bai Zuo's situation was not a secret in the Alien Club. Xu Zhou himself was also a contractor marked by Bai Zuo, and there was a close connection between the two.
The Yigui Club also relied on this level of identity. Otherwise, with Bai Zuo's disregard for life, the Yikai Club would not trust Xu Zhou to be responsible for him.
If Ji Wu explains clearly, it will involve the issue of Xu Zhou's identity. Xu Zhou's current mental state is not stable.
Ji Wu didn't know if telling Xu Zhou now would make Xu Zhou's mental state worse.
Xu Zhou: "Special? But isn't the level of the Contract Master determined based on the Contract Master's strength?"
"Yes, that's the case, but Bai Zuo's contract is weird and special. His S-level is actually not aimed at weird people, but... people!"
people?
Xu Zhou was surprised and then suddenly realized.
"It seems you have figured it out."
Ji Wu: "Although the weird one he contracted with is powerful, it is more reflected in the opponent. A weaker weird can be suppressed with strong strength. Once he faces a weird with a small level difference, he needs a strong contractor. Come and fight Weirdness for him, and he will slowly invade the other person's spirit."
Ji Wu saw Xu Zhou's somewhat depressed expression and knew that he was overthinking it. "You are a newcomer. It is normal that you cannot deal with this level of weirdness. Your performance is already much better than most people."
"When we get out, we will report it to the Alien Club and ask them to send people to support us."
Xu Zhou smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay."
Ji Wu walked in front holding the soul lamp.
Xu Zhou kept looking around cautiously. Hu Xingde was very scared and kept shrinking next to Ji Wu.
Along the way, there was no funeral procession or anything unusual, and we finally arrived at the abandoned bridge.
Xu Zhou accidentally glanced under the bridge. Under the bridge was a large river named Anyang River surrounding Anyang Island. The water was clear and fast.
Xu Zhou rubbed his eyes, "There seems to be something in the river."
Ji Wu: "Where?"
Ji Wu leaned against the bridge and looked down the river.
The water in the river is clear, and things floating in it are clearly visible.
I saw human heads with twisted, miserable, desperate, sad, and resentful faces floating on the water, howling miserably.
Their bodies sank under the water, with only their heads exposed. They were in pain because they were trapped in the river and had no chance of reincarnation.
Just by looking at them, you can feel their deep resentment.
The hair on Xu Zhou’s body stood on end!
Almost immediately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Discipline, discipline supervision."
Ji Wu stopped him, "Let's go, don't look down."
Hu Xingde was much more timid. He knew there was something unclean on the river as soon as he heard it, and immediately turned his head away from looking. If he hadn't closed his eyes and couldn't walk, he wouldn't have dared to open them.
The soul lamp was burning, and the light it emitted illuminated the front in the white mist, and also revealed many hidden weirdnesses.
Along the way, they looked intently and listened intently, even if someone called their names from behind.
Hu Xingde couldn't hold back at first and wanted to look back. This call seemed to be inexplicably attractive, making people want to respond.
Fortunately, Xu Zhou found out in time and pulled him to wake him up.
Hu Xingde also broke into a cold sweat and thanked him repeatedly.
Who knows if he will lose his soul here if he turns around like this.
Fortunately, we encountered no disturbances on the way across the bridge and walked out smoothly.
Hu Xingde glanced at the bridge shrouded in white mist behind him, wiped the cold sweat from his head with his hands, and swore in his heart that he would never go near this place again in his life.
He also found his bicycle parked on the side of the road. He hurriedly stepped forward to unlock it, got on it and sat down, "Well, I'll go back first!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to leave on his bicycle. With such a posture, the bicycle was about to be kicked out by him.
Xu Zhou watched him leave, knowing that this man would definitely not be able to help but tell everything he had experienced when he returned.
However, neither he nor Ji Wu was in a hurry.
First, few people will believe that what he has experienced is true without having personally experienced these things. Most people will think that he is telling stories, talking big, or bragging.
As soon as Ji Wu left there and had a signal on his cell phone, he sent the edited text message to the Yigui Club.
Including what they saw and heard, as well as their guesses about the weirdness, etc.
Next, the Yigui Guild will send out the strange contract masters with suitable strength to contain the strange ones.
Then, Ji Wu once again launched a series of life-threatening urgings on Bai Zuo, with full anger and an aura that would not stop until the opponent's mobile phone exploded.
What Xu Zhou saw was that the corners of his mouth were twitching, and he didn't dare to say a word, for fear of being burned by the fire.
Finally, after calling the other party for more than 20 times, Bai Zuo answered the call.
"You little bastard! If you don't give me a proper explanation this time, your review will be written down!"
"Hahaha! What are you talking about? I can't hear you!"
"Don't pretend you can't hear it! Why is it so noisy over there! Where are you?"
"I'm on Anyang Island! It's so lively here, so many people are playing with lanterns!"
"Wait! Lantern? How did you get in? Do you have a soul lantern?"
"There are no activities being held on Anyang Island. There are many people here. Only in a place with a large number of people can more evil be gathered."
Very good, it's something this guy can do.
Xu Zhou held his cell phone and exclaimed: "Supervisor Ji, Anyang Island is holding a famous local event today - the Dengfu Festival!"
He handed the phone over and Ji Wuyi looked at it. There was a video playing on the phone. What was playing on it was the official promotional video of the event released by Anyang Island.
The Dengfu Festival is a famous memorial activity on Anyang Island. It has been passed down for a long time. It is unclear which dynasty it was passed down from.
The main purpose of the Dengfu Festival is to pay homage to the King of Hell, in order to accumulate negative virtues for the deceased family members, so that they can suffer less in the underground and be reincarnated as soon as possible.
When participating in the Dengfu Festival, you need to prepare a lantern yourself and write the inscriptions on it for your family. When participating in the parade, local people will take the lead in parading through the streets, chanting mantras that lead to the underground, until the lamp oil candles in the lanterns burn. After all, the Dengfu Festival is over.
"What's the connection between that mysterious realm and this event?" Ji Wu watched the video and searched for some cultural heritage about the Dengfu Festival.
Ji Wu didn't say he knew much about Bai Zuo, but after watching him for such a long time, he roughly knew that there was more to Bai Zuo than what he seemed on the surface.
Sometimes an inadvertent action has profound meaning in retrospect.
