Chapter 165: Alien World

Rest for a while in the hotel.

After eating and drinking, Yu Ke, who was fully recovered, changed into combat uniform and went to the intersection of Shuangqiao District.

The person in charge of the on-site investigation was Captain Wu Huai of the Special Service Department of the Sanqing City Disaster Prevention Bureau. The two contacted each other by mobile phone before departure.

According to the summary of previous investigation reports, although the time period for ghosts to appear has been continuously extended as the situation worsens, it is still concentrated between 10 pm and 1 am.

Therefore, the Sanqing City government will impose a curfew in the area where ghosts are found, and try to let ordinary people avoid dangerous periods.

It is now 8 o'clock in the evening, and there is still some time before the ghosts are active. Yu Ke is going to meet with Captain Wu first to learn more about the incident for subsequent actions.

After taking a taxi to Shuangqiao District, Yu Ke walked to the intersection with an umbrella.

It has not yet entered the curfew period, and this area is also a commercial area with a large flow of people in the city, with many pedestrians coming and going.

What surprised Yu Ke was that even though ghosts had been found here, the number of pedestrians did not decrease, and all kinds of shops were open. It seemed that the Shanqing City government had not yet announced the news that ghosts interfered with the real world.

The light snow weather and the shining neon lights at the crossroads added a different kind of beauty to this place.

Above the head were mechanical flying fish that kept swimming, controlled by an intelligent system, and constantly displaying various advertisements.

Sidestepping around several female anchors who were holding selfie sticks and dressed in trendy clothes.

Yu Ke heard them discussing the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade that happened here not long ago with the audience in the live broadcast room, saying that they had booked a room in a nearby hotel tonight and wanted to have a close contact with supernatural phenomena and give everyone a whole job.

Obviously, the ghosts that have not attacked humans so far have been labeled as "harmless" in the eyes of some people, and then regarded as a tool to attract attention.

This is like the Monster Fortress in Jinghang City, the core of which is the skeleton of a giant beast.

It looks scary, but in fact, it attracts a large number of tourists every day just to satisfy their curiosity.

If it is really "harmless", it would be fine. Unfortunately, the restrictions on these ghosts are gradually being lifted. If the problem cannot be solved in a short time, the Disaster Prevention Bureau will probably consider announcing this bad news to the citizens.

According to the address, I came to the restaurant not far from the crossroads. This place has been booked by the Disaster Prevention Bureau for temporary storage of various equipment that may be used later. The team led by Wu Huai also gathered here and will not take action until the curfew begins.

I sent a message to Wu Huai, and the door of the store was quickly opened from the inside.

The man who opened the door was a man who looked about 30 years old, wearing a long black windbreaker, with fluffy hair and some natural curls.

The comfortable heating mixed with the smell of food hit my face. Looking into the house, Yu Ke saw two tables of special service personnel wearing the uniforms of the Disaster Prevention Bureau. The tables were full of barbecue, fruit plates and other things. The atmosphere was very good.

"We will face the ghosts in a moment, why are you standing there in shock after having a good meal? Why don't you make room for Consultant Yu?"

The man who opened the door for Yu Ke earlier called out to everyone in the room, and someone immediately stood up and moved a chair, then turned around and stretched out his hand,

"Wu Huai, the current captain of the Special Service Team 6, is honored to work with you to investigate this incident. The Hunting Log series of videos is very good. There are many of your fans in our team, especially the deputy captain, who is very excited to know that you will participate in tonight's operation."

"Just call me Yu Ke, I hope I can help you this time."

Yu Ke didn't say everything before he saw the ghosts in person, so as to avoid embarrassment for both parties.

"In half an hour, the crossroads and surrounding areas will enter the curfew period. We will start to arrange the scene after ordinary people leave. Please wait here before that."

Take Yu Ke to sit in the restaurant, Wu Huai briefly explained their goal tonight,

"If the ghosts that appear tonight can still interfere with the real world, we will work together to kill them, collect the remains and hand them over to the research department to analyze these monsters and find out where they come from."

The main reason why the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts can continue to occur in Shanqing City for such a long time is that the Disaster Prevention Bureau cannot touch these monsters at all. They seem to exist in two different spaces from the real world.

Based on the horrifying scene when they appear, no valuable clues can be analyzed at all.

Now that these monsters have begun to interfere with the real world, it is actually good news for the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

Monsters will die if they are killed.

As long as they can collect some corpses, they will have the possibility of further understanding these ghosts and tracing their source.

"I understand. I can't say anything else, but I'm quite confident in fighting."

Picked up a can of unopened soda, put two pieces of pineapple into his mouth, shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

Relaxed body movements, casual eating and drinking personality.

The tense atmosphere in the restaurant, which was originally caused by Yu Ke's arrival, suddenly dissipated. Taking advantage of the time before the curfew, the members of the special service department asked about the secret cave deep in the Jinghu Forest.

The video on the Cloud Map website can be seen all over the country. Yu Ke's fierce battle with the two-headed dragon in the secret cave, coupled with his active sharing of cave information, made his reputation spread at an alarming speed.

For the first time, Yu Ke felt his reputation within the Disaster Prevention Bureau up close. He did not put on airs, but patiently answered their questions about the various intelligence in the secret cave. He also took out the dragon tooth dagger that he had recently commissioned the Disaster Prevention Bureau's logistics department to make, which caused constant exclamations.

"I'm really sorry, everyone has been a little depressed recently. When I heard that a strong man from the bureau came to assist in the investigation, I was a little excited. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Wu Huai looked at the team members who gathered together to test the strength of the dragon tooth dagger, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and looked helpless.

"I just arrived in Shanqing this afternoon. My knowledge of the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts is limited to the information that Li Ming gave me. The information provided in it is limited, so I asked directly about some questions... I didn't see any investigation into the source of these ghosts in the information. Didn't you try to analyze these ghosts through some special magic methods?"

Glancing at the team members whose attention was attracted by the dragon tooth dagger, Yu Ke moved his chair to Wu Huai and asked directly.

This may sound harsh, as if doubting the ability of the Shanqing City Disaster Prevention Bureau, but it is also what Yu Ke thinks in his heart.

You must know that Shanqing City and Jinghang City are both first-tier giant cities in China. The power of the Disaster Prevention Bureau stationed here is definitely not weak, not to mention that there are also strong guards in charge.

How can you watch a supernatural event turn into what it is today?

Judging from the performance of Fang Xuanhe and his disciples in the ruins, the official government officials must have cooperated with these extraordinary people or practitioners who existed before the catastrophe.

Yu Ke was sure that there must be many extraordinary people who mastered similar methods in Shanqing City. Maybe Shanqing Town Guard was the leader in this field. At the very least, he should conduct relevant investigations on the existence of ghosts, right?

As a result, the report sent by Li Ming was full of various video files. After reading it, Yu Ke once thought that the Disaster Prevention Bureau of Shanqing City was deliberately guarding against him. Who would have thought that they really didn't know.

"You are a special consultant. It's really embarrassing to say that there are some things that don't need to be concealed. In fact, in recent months, the alien world in Shanqing area has always been uneasy. We have lost a lot of manpower to suppress those bastards. Among the ten captains of the Special Service Department, only three can still participate in combat missions. The manpower of other departments has also been damaged. Even the town guard is in seclusion for some reason."

Faced with Yu Ke's inquiry, Wu Huai sighed and said in a low voice.

Hearing this news, even Yu Ke widened his eyes, and the skewers in his hand stopped in his mouth, with a look of surprise on his face.

His original intention was to say that the Disaster Prevention Bureau was not paying enough attention to the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" incident.

Who would have thought that there would be such explosive news.

But what is the origin of this so-called alien world that can force the Shanqing City officials to this extent?

"Uh, I forgot. You were a forest ranger before and have never been involved in this aspect. There are top masters like Fang Tianshi in the Jinghang area, and no one dares to make trouble. In short, you just think that a group of thugs are constantly stirring up trouble in the Shanqing area to fight for the "secret skills" passed down hundreds of years ago. There are also aliens from other regions. They are those extraordinary people who have inherited the master's inheritance."

Thinking of Yu Ke's identity, Wu Huai briefly explained the recent chaos in Shanqing City.

Although most of the information is still confidential, the little content Wu Huai revealed still revealed to Yu Ke the "alien world" hidden on the other side of this world.

Ancient ruins, temple underground palace, red ghost mask, Pure Lotus Dao, Fang Xuanhe

All the things Yu Ke came into contact with existed in this world before the Great Cataclysm.

This made him realize that the world he traveled through hides many things that ordinary people cannot touch at all.

Because the Great Cataclysm era has come, ordinary people have begun to possess extraordinary abilities, and the original balance has been broken, which has caused the barrier between the alien world and ordinary people mentioned by Wu Huai to gradually collapse.

It's just that Yu Ke has been busy with his own affairs and has no chance to contact them.

"I have no right to disclose the specific information. At present, the investigation team sent by the Disaster Prevention Bureau is in charge of this matter. We can draw a large number of people to deal with the Hundred Demons Night Parade incident."

Wu Huai knows what the most important thing is now, so he only mentions the alien world briefly and brings the topic back.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why the investigation team sent by the General Administration has not gained anything so far. It turns out that their focus of work is not here at all."

Throwing the iron skewers into the tray, Yu Ke's confusion was mostly solved.

There is no doubt that the chaos that occurred in Shanqing City some time ago may be more important to the General Administration of Disaster Prevention than the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Therefore, the investigation team came to Shanqing City under the name of dealing with supernatural events, but the real purpose was to suppress the chaos.

The extraordinary people who have inherited the master's teachings mentioned by Wu Huai are probably mixed with some old monsters who have become famous before the catastrophe, otherwise the situation would not be out of control to such an extent.

Of course, this is the judgment when the number of ghosts can be counted on one hand, the duration is extremely short, and it has not yet interfered with the real world.

The situation has changed now.

Considering the substantial increase in the number of ghosts, the frequency and time of their appearance are also increasing, and they have even begun to invade reality.

The Shanqing City Disaster Prevention Bureau had to temporarily adjust its work focus.

As for why the extraordinary people were not dispatched from other regions to assist in the operation.

The reason is very simple. Fang Xuanhe is in charge of the nearest Jinghang City. There has been constant chaos and serious shortage of manpower in recent times. The Pandora incident and the Heisen Building attack almost turned into large-scale disasters. The former even used the army to barely suppress it, not to mention other regions.

It can only be said that every family has its own problems.

In fact, this is also the main reason why the Shanqing City Disaster Prevention Bureau specifically asked Yu Ke to participate in the investigation.

Others may not know that the Disaster Prevention Bureau is very clear about Yu Ke's performance in several incidents in the Jinghang area.

He forcibly pulled the situation that was about to collapse back from the edge of the cliff several times.

This wisdom and strength have undoubtedly been tested.

During the conversation between the two, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a well-proportioned girl with two buns and a sky-blue cheongsam ran into the restaurant quickly, shouting in an old-fashioned tone,

"Young men, don't eat, the area outside has been cleared, we are ready to start work, and we have to fight to our heart's content tonight!"

As soon as the voice fell, the girl noticed the stranger sitting next to Wu Huai, and was stunned for two seconds. Then, as if she thought of something, she turned her eyes to her captain next to her, who just nodded indifferently.

Before Yu Ke stood up to say hello, the girl turned around and ran out, and she could vaguely hear the scream of frustration coming back.

Social death often takes just a few seconds.

"She is the deputy captain, Yang Chunxiao. She claims to be your fan. She signs in and likes your videos every day. When she heard that you were going to participate in the action, she even made a special pose. Now I'm afraid it's too late to do anything."

Wu Huai couldn't suppress his smile. He deliberately didn't tell the deputy captain that Yu Ke had arrived at the restaurant, just to give the deputy captain a "surprise".

Fortunately, Yang Chunxiao knew the seriousness of the matter. She didn't run far and returned again. However, she had a mask on her face that she didn't know where she got from. She pretended that nothing had happened and reported the situation of clearing the outside as if the timeline had been reset.

It was approaching the curfew period.

The mechanical flying fish originally used for advertising began to play the curfew notice.

The police intervened to manage traffic, completely blocked the area around the intersection, and strictly prohibited any unofficial personnel and vehicles from entering and leaving.

Because several rounds of notifications were sent in advance, the situation on the scene was relatively normal. The crowds gradually left the intersection, and the surrounding shops were also closed. A large number of police officers began to set up with holographic projection devices to avoid accidents and panic among residents.

Everything went on in an orderly manner, just waiting for the ghosts to appear!
