Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 157 I don’t agree with this marriage



Chapter 156 Daughter

"Price?" Li Yelai asked, "What does it mean specifically?"

"It depends on the type and the demand." Jing Lin fished out a teapot and several pretty teacups from somewhere, and while brewing Baishan tea for everyone, he said, "These weird things also have many names, such as ghosts, monsters, demons, and ghosts."

Everyone nodded, these are actually the so-called ghosts.

For example, the Dao Lao ghost that Li Yelai had seen is actually a kind of zombie containing a highly toxic substance.

The black zombies seen in the branch of the Embers Church are also similar.

They are ghosts born from corpses in certain special environments or inducements, or simply from some evil rituals.

There are even more peculiar existences in Ye Bushou's records. Some existences can even make the target fall into a strange space, even if there are bodyguards next door. They can also harm the target person without anyone noticing.

However, psychics are natural enemies of these purely spiritual beings, and psychic power has an outstanding effect on them!

Compared to the immortal virtual creatures, these ghosts are just extraordinary creatures with more special abilities.

This made everyone feel relieved.

"And we learned in the forbidden area that there is another special weirdness." Jing Lin handed a cup of tea to Li Yelai and said: "The forbidden area is called Gui."

"Gui? Ghost?" Li Yelai pondered the pronunciation of the two: "By the way, are you still connected with the forbidden area?"

"Not everyone can fight out of the disaster fog. Those swallowed humans and their descendants are controlled by the order of the forbidden area, developed their own civilization, and became part of the forbidden area, but we can sneak into it to investigate." Jing Lin said: "As for what you said, Gui and Ghost. There is indeed such a saying."

"Things that can still return after death are Gui and ghosts. And after we refine it, this This kind of ghost is called the Returner. "

"They walk between reality and dreams, with strengths of different strengths, and the forms they show are also different. There are handsome young men, gentle women, and ferocious strong men. But they all obey transactions and contracts. "

"So, I think that among the residents nearby, someone has reached a deal with the Returner. Now, the Returner is asking for a price. "Jing Lin suggested: "You'd better check if anyone in the neighborhood has had good luck recently."

"Good luck?" Li Yelai moved his ears: "Can the Returner give people good luck?"

If it is really possible, then Li Yelai must catch a Returner to suppress his bad luck.

"The good luck I am talking about here is just a general term, such as making a lot of money in the casino, suddenly getting promoted and getting rich, and suddenly surviving danger." Jing Lin said: "Moreover, judging from the scenery in the dream, the Returner's goal is to pick up the bride, and the price is likely to be a girl. This is a clue."

Li Yelai nodded. Indeed, at least a certain range can be determined.

Jing Lin continued, "In the villages and towns near the Yaoqing Giant City, there have been similar situations to the current one, with a large number of humans seeing strange things in their dreams. After investigation, it was learned that a group of scavengers in that village were unlucky. When they were searching for supplies, they were accidentally hunted by extraordinary creatures in the abandoned city.

When they were escaping, they met the Returners. After negotiation, they were willing to pay the price and survived the hunting of extraordinary creatures.

Afterwards, the Returners took the price. They would first remind the people nearby in their dreams. Indicate that they will take the reward.

After seeing the weird dreams three times, several children disappeared in that village. They were all the children of those who were rescued."

"Trading with children?" Everyone frowned. Even if it was for them to escape, they shouldn't have sacrificed their children, right?

Yes, there are indeed cruel parents in the world who don't care about the lives of their children.

But not all of them are like this, right? Such scumbags are still a minority.

"I later learned that they originally wanted to default on their debt." Jing Lin smiled: "After all, they were all going to die at that time. Who would think about the price they would have to pay later? And I finally calmed down and thought about it after I finally survived. I wanted to refuse to pay the price, or at least change it to other prices." "So, they prepared a lot, spent a lot of money to hire a wild psychic with three awakenings, and prepared a lot of firepower at the gathering place. You know, scavengers, they work as scavengers in their spare time, and occasionally play the role of bandits or caravan guards. They prepared a lot, several machine guns, and wanted to forcibly interrupt the transaction of the returnees." "Unfortunately, the returnees always abide by the deal and promise. In other words, that These demons have certain restrictions, otherwise they cannot harm others at will. But if the contract is reached, no matter how the other party begs or struggles, they will take away the reward. "So, one night, when a large number of people were on high alert in the gathering place. As the third dream ended, the returnee came. However, most people did not see the returnee. Only those who had entered the dream witnessed the returnee walk into the unguarded defense line and pass through the gates. In front of them, the children were taken away. " "What do you mean?" Li Yelai frowned: "People who have not entered the dream cannot see the returnee? And you said there was no one in the alley. Can I assume that those who have entered the dream have actually been taken away for a short time. "

"It seems to be true at the moment. Wait a moment, I remember one of my tribesmen participated in the investigation." Jing Lin first made a phone call, and after getting a more specific analysis from the manor, he said: "That dream is more like a A mark. All those marked will enter the intersection of dreams and reality."

"A ghost?" The detective frowned.

"Yes, using the terminology of your Border City No. 3, it should be a ghost. A space that seems real and fake created by ghosts." Jing Lin responded: "So, the defense of the gathering place did not work at all. Because Most of the guards have never entered the dream world, and the same goes for the psychic who was invited with a big price. Those who were dragged into the ghost world could only watch the children being taken away. "

This made Li Yelai and others frown. Guixi was actually such a troublesome thing.

In this way, if no one in the official force falls asleep, there is no way to stop the returnees.

"You mean that after three dream reminders, they will take away the reward." Li Yelai frowned. From the heavy cavalry's information, it can be known that there have been at least two dreams.

In other words, after the next dream, the other party will take away a certain girl?

However, because I have never entered a dream. Everyone can't even enter the ghost world and can't deal with the returnees.

"That's the truth." Jing Lin sipped the tea, thought about it, poured the tea away, and said, "Speaking of which, we can't drink tea."

"Indeed." Li Yelai also poured away the tea.

The rest of the people also reacted. Wanting to deal with the Returned and protect a certain woman who was traded.

Then you must enter the ghost world, and to enter the ghost world, you must first enter the dreamland and be marked by the opponent.

Then they must live nearby.

I hope I can enter dreamland today and tomorrow.

In this way, they can enter the ghost world when necessary.

Afterwards, Li Yelai immediately contacted the branch and informed him of the situation here.

"I see, I'm going to apply for support right now!" After learning about the situation, the liaison officer immediately reported the information. and contacted the nearest handler squad or other official force to gain access to the area. It doesn't matter whether you sleep in the car or find a rooftop to make a bed on the floor. Strive to let more people enter the dream world.

"You have to be fast, it's not long until midnight." Li Ye came and looked at the time. It was currently seven twenty. In a few hours it will be time for people to sleep. The time must be grasped. Maybe tonight is the third dream, and as much official power as possible must be allowed into the dream.

"Tonight, you guys can sleep at my place. I still have a room here." Chongqi said, "Shadow Liu and I will sleep in the bedroom. You three gentlemen can sleep in the living room or the second bedroom."

Everyone nodded, this is indeed the most convenient.

And Jing Lin smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this is my first time to spend the night at a girl's house."

"I thought the young masters of your psychic family were all having fun every night?" The detective looked at Jing Lin in surprise.

"There are people like this, but I am a psychic. I can't indulge my desires too much. Otherwise, what will happen if they become corrupted?" Jing Lin explained: "Where is the Night General?"

"This is also my first time to spend the night at a girl's house." Li Yelai nodded in response.

"Ah?" Jing Lin's face flashed with astonishment, and then he looked at Li Yelai suspiciously. He looked down suspiciously and said, "Aren't you physically stronger than me? You can blast it with one punch. Hunting bug. What's wrong with you?"

Li Yelai was confused when he heard this. Does this have any necessary connection with physical strength?

Chongqi's face showed a little embarrassment: "This is also the first time for me to invite friends to stay at home."

It was rare to see such an expression on Chongqi's Sanwu face, and everyone joked for a while.

Immediately, he quickly prepared his equipment. Li Yelai and Jing Lin went downstairs to bring up the equipment in the car.

Chongqi and Shadow Liu were preparing dinner, and everyone planned to eat something casually before falling asleep. Hope to enter the dreamland.

As for who actually made the deal with the Returned, we can only investigate later and save the person first.

Li Yelai and Jing Lin took out two large wooden boxes and a long box from the car downstairs.

These are the armors of Li Yelai and Jing Lin, as well as Jing Lin's psychic weapons.

Jing Lin's curse prevents him from always relying on his abilities to fight. As a psyker of the Spirit Eye Path, blindness is almost fatal.

Therefore, his melee strength is also very good, and he has worked hard on it.

The three-pointed knife Li Yelai obtained before was actually one of Jing Lin's backup weapons.

"I see you are also a spearman. Do you have time to practice?" Li Yelai looked at Jing Lin's long box, which contained a dragon-head gun.

"Okay." Jing Lin nodded, and then said: "I checked within the family, and the person who contacted your sister was indeed my aunt, Jing Jing's subordinate. But I still don't know why she did this. "

"Then let's investigate carefully, but you have to remember that if you dare to take action against my sister, I will not show mercy because she is your relative." Li Yelai said seriously: "This is the only relative I have."

It would make people laugh that a fourth-minded person would show no mercy to a sixth-minded person.

But Jing Lin nodded seriously, he didn't think there was anything funny about it.

The more contact you have with Li Yelai, the clearer you become about Li Yelai's strength and potential.

Ark Chosen, Border City does not collect at night, the official law of cause and effect weapon

If Jing Jing really pisses him off, nothing good will come of it!

This is not Yaoqing City. Although Jing Jing is a captain-level expert, are the officials still afraid of a captain-level person?

Even if the head of the family, Supreme Chongwu himself comes to Border City No. 3, he will not turn against the officials.

What on earth is Jing Jing going to do?

"I will convey it truthfully." Jing Lin responded: "I don't want to be at odds with you."

"Me too." Li Ye said.

Afterwards, the two of them walked up the stairs carrying large and small bags quite easily. Both of them are not weak physically, and they can carry the box very easily.

But at the door of Chongqi's house, he saw a woman dressed luxuriously.

The woman has a beautiful face, somewhat similar to Chongqi.

But it's more mature and has a lot of charm.

At this moment, the woman was shouting at Chongqi in the room: "You heartless white-eyed wolf!"

Then, he turned around and left, almost bumping into Li Yelai and Jing Lin.

The woman had a hot temper and seemed to want to scold Jing Lin, but after seeing that the clothes on Jing Lin's body were very expensive and brand-name, she forced herself to close her mouth, gave the two of them a stiff smile, and then walked towards the stairs. . The click of high heels echoed down the stairs.

"What's going on?" Li Yelai and Jing Lin were a little surprised.

"I made you laugh." Chongqi responded. Although there was still no expression on her pretty face, Li Yelai felt that she was really tired and disappointed.

Later, Li Yelai learned that the woman just now was actually Chongqi's mother, at least she once was. She now has a new family.

I came here this time because I wanted to take Chongqi out of here and live with a new family. It is said that the other party's family is wealthy.

It seems beautiful, but the woman has no good intentions.

This woman even locked Chongqi in the same room with him in order to please her stepson.

Although Chongqi's face was paralyzed and her body looked like a minor, it was undeniable that she was a beautiful girl.

At that time, if the neighbor hadn't come to the door, Chongqi might have suffered a loss.

The reason why she became a psychic was inseparable from the stimulation given by her family members.

Today, they don't know that the heavy rider is a psyker and an official handler.

If I found out, I wonder if I would kneel down and kowtow?

Li Yelai thought with malice in his heart.

On the other side, the woman walked downstairs and took the arm of a somewhat fat middle-aged man.

"That white-eyed wolf refuses to come," the woman whispered.

"That's such a pity." The middle-aged man recalled the appearance of the heavy rider and said with some regret: "Well, since you and I have received the certificate, your daughter is also my daughter."

"And I plan to arrange a marriage for my daughter."

"Okay, okay. Are the other party's conditions good?" the woman's eyes lit up and she asked.

"Very good." The middle-aged man chuckled: "Besides, he also saved my life."
