Chapter 217: As night fell
Due to the possibility of a large-scale supernatural event in Dachang City, Yang Jian had to temporarily abandon his actions against Ye Feng.
Even the conflict between him and Zhao Kaiming was forced to stop.
In fact, not only him, but Zhao Kaiming also thought the same. It would be foolish to fight each other in the face of such a special event.
God knows if they can survive this supernatural event.
If they can't survive, then all the conflicts would be meaningless.
"Let's go to the police station where Liu is." Yang Jian drove straight to a police station in the city.
The sky was already dark, and with the evening approaching, the entire city still felt dimly lit despite all the streetlights. The atmosphere was cold and mysterious, with a chilling and eerie feeling.
It's hard to imagine what Dachang City would become when it's completely dark.
Would the ghosts come out at night?
Yang Jian frowned deeply. In fact, he knew that staying in a big city was not a good choice. The probability of supernatural events occurring in densely populated areas was too high. He had already moved out of the city center at the fastest speed, avoiding the downtown area. But he never expected such a large-scale special event to happen.
"If this range includes the Guojiang District, is it a ghost domain? Or something else? Liu Xiaoyu said that Dachang City has been sealed off, with a certain place outside the city as the boundary, unable to freely enter or exit."
"If a ghost can do this, its level is probably beyond the A-level disaster. But it's impossible for Dachang City to have such a high-level ghost without any detection,"
Neither the Xiaqiang Club, which was still alive before, nor Detective Zhou Zheng, had heard of such reports.
Yang Jian wasn't too afraid of fierce ghosts, but he was more worried about the unknown fear.
In the absence of information, the only way to understand a ghost was to risk his life.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
It was extremely dangerous.
"But this feeling seems familiar. It seems like I've encountered it before." Yang Jian looked at the dark and gloomy sky, and the figure of the ghost baby appeared in his mind.
Zhou Zheng died from the resurrection of a fierce ghost, releasing that ghost baby.
The last time they met should have been in an office building in the city center.
At that time, it shouldn't be called a ghost baby anymore, it should be called a ghost person.
Because in just a month or so, that thing had already grown from a baby to a child, and then into an adult.
Growing in an almost supernatural way.
"It shouldn't be that ghost baby. If it's defined, its danger level is probably only C-level, and it kills one person at a time, too slow. But from the last time we met, that ghost baby had already grown to the level of using a ghost domain." Yang Jian continued to ponder.
"But the range of that ghost domain is very small, barely enough to cover a floor of an office building, and it can't completely seal off the ghost domain. Ordinary people can freely enter and exit."
"Wait, why do I think that the ghost baby also has a ghost domain?"
Recalling the supernatural event in the office building in the city center, a group of office workers encountered the ghost baby and were forced to jump from a dozen floors up.
If that was really a ghost domain, those people would never have had a chance to jump off the building.
So... that wasn't a ghost domain.
Captain Liu was silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Officer Yang. But there's something else I should tell you."
"What is it?"
Captain Liu said, "Little Zhang is dead."
Little Zhang?
Yang Jian looked puzzled.
"It's Zhang Yuan, the one who was trapped in the mirror last time."
Captain Liu pointed to a piece of decorative material on the wall that had been removed. "Because we were afraid of causing too much impact, that thing has been sent away and specially treated."
Yang Jian then remembered. Indeed, a police officer had been trapped in a glowing mirror when he came here last time. "I'm sorry, although I have temporarily solved the incident, I couldn't save him."
He wasn't lying, it was just the truth.
Because Zhang Wei had already died once, and the ghost had disappeared, there was naturally no chance to enter the mirror again.
"Zhang Yuan died of thirst in the mirror. He died in great pain and helplessness. I watched it happen. I didn't even dare to tell his mother. Do you know, just yesterday, his old mother was still sitting on the steps outside the door, crying for her son. Although the report said that Zhang Yuan was missing, his mother had already guessed that Zhang Yuan had sacrificed."
Captain Liu said, "At that time, I didn't know how to comfort his mother, and I didn't dare to tell her the truth."
"I understand, the chance of sacrifice is high once you get involved in such incidents. But you are an international criminal police officer, capable of solving such things. I'm not asking you to do anything, because I know very well that you are also risking your lives to deal with these ghostly things. But I still can't help but say one thing."
"Please, don't let our sacrifices be in vain."
Captain Liu said very seriously and sincerely.
Yang Jian didn't answer. Out of respect, he saluted Captain Liu and then left without looking back.
He didn't have the courage to take on this responsibility.
Because he wasn't that great. Everything he had done up to now was just to survive, to live better.
This kind of global supernatural event is not something one person can change.
Just like an earthquake or flood, it can't be reversed by human power. Sacrifice, death, and pain are inevitable.
After leaving the police station, the sky outside was even darker.
The surroundings were like a thick fog, enveloped by a dark green-black aura, dense, sticky, and lingering.
But this darkness didn't affect the vision too much. Looking forward, you could still see clearly, but it was very blurry, as if you suddenly became nearsighted.
He looked up at the sky.
The dark clouds were pressing down on the city, making it hard to breathe.
The shops on the sidewalk were emitting a gray light in the dim world, making it incredibly eerie and gloomy.
The entire bustling city, with its bright lights and wine, had suddenly turned into a ghost town.
Perhaps in some corner of this city, an unknown supernatural event was happening.
