Chapter 81 Shadow Play
What is the biggest advantage of raising a female ghost at home?
The answer is to save electricity bills.
The indoor doors and windows were closed tightly, and the heavy curtains were closed together, making the whole room airtight.
Chai Cuiqiao was lying on the sofa in the living room playing with her mobile phone, with her feet resting on the airtight fish tank containing the corpse specimens, and her whole body exuded a cold air, like a high-power central air conditioner, bringing the chill to every corner of the room.
In the bedroom, Li Ang wore a large white vest in the shape of a plastic bag and a pair of blue underpants that leaked air. He stepped on a washbasin filled with water and sat comfortably on a chair to play with the computer.
At the end of summer and early autumn, it is reasonable that the weather should gradually cool down, but this year it is not the case.
The scorching sun hangs high, there is no cloud in the sky, the air seems to be frozen, the ground is burned with steam, and it is difficult to see any people on the streets full of pedestrians in the past.
Yin City broke the historical record for the highest temperature in autumn in previous years, air conditioners were out of stock, and the electricity bills of most households doubled.
This weather is absolutely abnormal, but I don't know if it has something to do with extraordinary factors.
"It's so hot, I don't want to go out and wander around to trigger the mission."
Li Ang rolled his eyes and complained, while browsing the player forum,
There are only a few posts about the abnormal weather in Yin City in the forum - most players still pay more attention to the strategy of the script mission, or the auction of equipment items on the black market.
"I can't seem to find any information about the epiphyllum organization..."
He frowned and closed the webpage. After completing the mission in Longheng Plaza, he has been searching for information about Epiphyllum.
He was able to cultivate a special person like Xu Tuoan at a time point when the killing game had not yet opened more than ten years ago, and tried to bury a formation like the Yin Gathering Formation in the local Longheng Square in Yin City—whether they wanted to raise corpses It's definitely not a good thing to raise ghosts.
After the task was completed, the field staff of the Special Affairs Bureau rushed to Longheng Square and conducted a two-day blockade investigation.
To be on the safe side, Li Ang also anonymously sent an email to the Special Affairs Bureau two days later, vaguely pointing out that the time of what happened in Longheng Square was related to the Epiphyllum Organization.
As for how the Special Affairs Bureau will respond to this and what countermeasures it will come up with, that is beyond Li Ang's jurisdiction.
Chai Cuiqiao on the sofa turned over and lazily shouted: "Hey~ Li Ang, the yin energy of this corpse is about to be drained~"
"Know it."
Li Ang shouted without looking back: "You save some money first, let's go out tonight."
The so-called going out for a trip is actually going to a hospital cemetery and other places with heavy yin energy to restore some energy to the Yinhun Banner.
This is the bad point of raising ghosts. You must always pay attention to preventing the cut-off of the offering. If you are raising little ghosts, you only need to donate a few drops of blood every day.
If it is a ghost like Chai Cuiqiao who has lived for many years, the amount of yin energy needed to maintain his body every day becomes quite large.
Zou Zhengze, who died in a tragic manner and was stuffed into formalin after death, could only provide Chai Cuiqiao with Yin Qi for a month.
The soul-inducing banner that can accommodate three ghosts is actually a very powerful prop.
Even in the early stage of the killing game, a low-level player can use this item to raise three ghosts of the same level, and their strength soars instantly.
But the consequence of this is that the demand for Yin Qi is terrifying.
Just one ghost in Chai Cuiqiao is already struggling to make ends meet. If there are three full ghosts, I am afraid that two or three corpses must be found every day to refine their yin energy, so that they can be nourished properly.
This is also the reason why Li Ang has not paid much attention to the equipment of attracting soul banners-this thing is for those Southeast Asian heads-down masters who specialize in raising ghosts and raising Gu. For the players in Yin City, the effect is much worse.
"Oh."
Chai Cuiqiao responded, and looked at the fish tank filled with formalin, feeling extremely reluctant.
It's hard to get used to this kind of life full of yin and trachea, and then go back to the life of going to the cemetery every day to steal the wool secretly....
It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. It's hard, old iron.

Yinshi Hongxing Compound Fertilizer Co., Ltd. was established in 2017. The company has a complete product structure, covering a series of new products such as active fertilizers, bio-organic fertilizers, compound microbial fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers, and soil conditioners.
The annual production capacity of compound fertilizer reaches 1 million tons. It has conducted in-depth cooperation with the world's top 500 companies. It is a modern fertilizer group integrating R&D, production, sales and technical services.
These are the introductions to the official website of Yinshi Hongxing Compound Fertilizer Co., Ltd. If you follow the webpage address, you can find a building located in the industrial park in the southeast corner of Yinshi.
The building has eight floors and is very old. The exterior is covered with dark green curved glass, and the walls are covered with faded red bricks. There is a steel shed factory building behind the building, which is integrated with the factories in the surrounding industrial park.
On the surface, this company is quite formal. During the day, the factory machines are running non-stop, trucks full of fertilizers come and go, and they often import some high-end and high-end fertilizer-related machinery.
But more than 200 meters below the factory building, there is an extremely spacious and spacious space with a total of ten floors, where the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau is set up.
Wearing a gray staff uniform, Wanli Fengdao walked out of the elevator room, swiped his card through the security door, walked through the long and narrow corridor, and arrived at the reception hall on the first floor of the Special Affairs Bureau.
The reception hall is quite spacious. There are green plants on the left and right sides of the entrance. Special light tubes are embedded in the ceiling to simulate the feeling of normal sunlight. The floor is made of dark marble tiles, and the sound of stepping on them is crisp.
It is hot summer on the ground, but the underground is cool and refreshing. The innermost part of the hall is the reception desk of the Special Affairs Bureau. Behind the front desk, there are three employees of the Special Affairs Bureau from the left, middle and right. Responsible for reception and related procedures.
Although it was set up underground, it was about the same size as the lobby of a Fortune 500 company.
Three employees at the front desk are handling relevant procedures for three visitors, while several people in various costumes are sitting on benches on both sides of the hall and waiting.
The men were all wearing face masks or masks, and held a filled-out certification form in their gloved palms.
They are the bounty hunters among players.
With the gradual progress of the killing game, various abnormal incidents occurred frequently. As an official organization, the Special Affairs Bureau was limited by the lack of special operators and could not solve the abnormal incidents in a comprehensive and timely manner.
Therefore, the Special Affairs Bureau will post some rewards on the forum to encourage players to provide clues and information about abnormal events, or to help the Special Affairs Bureau hunt down wanted criminals involved in vicious criminal cases.
Wanli Fengdao has kept in touch with Xing Hechou after completing the task of Guhan Temple.
Recently, he became a bounty hunter, solved an abnormal incident that posed a major threat to the safety of people's lives and properties, and maintained a good relationship with the Special Affairs Bureau.
Maybe after a while, he will officially become a field officer of the Special Affairs Bureau under the recommendation of Xing Hechou.
Wan Lifengdao sat on the bench and waited for a while, and soon it was his turn.
"I just solved a Lv5 level supernatural event."
He put a portable video recorder on the table in the front desk, "this is the relevant proof."
The young lady at the front desk checked the video recorder for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, she issued a form that needs to be filled out by herself and a one-time pass to Wanli Fengdao.
The lady at the front desk put on a professional smile, and said softly, "Please go to the fourth floor and go to the Security Department for relevant identification. After passing the identification, you can get a reward."
That's right, even if players just perform daily routine tasks and eliminate one or two low-level ghosts, they can still come to the Special Affairs Bureau to receive a part of the game currency rewards-although it is not as good as the system's task rewards, no matter how small the mosquito legs are It's also meat.
This mechanism seems to be a short-term loss, but it is actually quite cost-effective-it can not only encourage players to actively solve abnormal events to help the official stabilize the situation, but also eliminate the gap between players and the special affairs bureau, so that more players tend to join the official organization.
Just think of it as a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse bone, and make a profit at a loss.
Wan Lifengdao took the report to the fourth floor, and saw an acquaintance just as he got out of the elevator.
A sturdy man with a Chinese character face, with red eyes and a haggard look,
Holding a medicine bottle in his left hand and a file bag in his right, he was walking out of the gate of the logistics support department.
It was Xing Hechou, the captain of a combat team of the Yin City Branch of the Special Affairs Bureau.
Seeing an acquaintance, Wan Lifengdao greeted him with a smile, and said hello: "Brother Xing."
Xing Hechou, who was covered with thick dark circles around his eyes, came back to his senses. He didn't recognize Wan Lifeng Dao at first glance—this post-90s young man suddenly became much younger after shaving his beard. The son has degenerated into his thirties.
Although it still looks greasy and middle-aged.
"Brother Fengdao, long time no see."
Xing Hechou forced a few smiles, saw the report in the other party's hand, and asked, "Are you here to collect the reward?"
"Well," Wan Lifengdao nodded, looked at Xing Hechou's thin face and bloodshot eyes, and said hesitantly, "Brother Xing, are you okay? Do you want me to call someone?"
"It's okay." Xing Hechou coughed a few times, covered his mouth with his fist, and said, "I've been busy with a case for the past few days, cough cough, I didn't sleep well, come here to get a bottle of sleep-soothing medicine... .”
case? Wan Lifeng Dao raised his eyebrows, curious in his heart, hesitated a few times, and finally did not ask too much.
Seeing the expression on the other party's face, Xing Hechou smiled, put the file bag in Wanli Fengdao's hand, and said, "It's just a serial murder case involving players. We have already posted the reward on the forum.
The difficulty is around Lv7, if you have an idea, you can try it. "
Wan Lifengdao took the file bag curiously, opened it, and read according to the words on it: "Shadow puppetry...?"
