Chapter 234 Requiem

After waiting in the prison for less than an hour, Ning Zhe saw Taoist Duan Geng who had hurried over.

“I happened to be on business in Taoyuan City. When I heard that you had a request, I rushed here immediately.” Duan Geng got out of the car, and the convoy behind him drove towards the back door and side door of Chenyu Valley Prison.

Ning Zhe handed a folded paper to Duan Geng and asked casually, “Do you have any way to imprison the ghosts here?”

Duan Geng rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe and took a look at the note. It only contained some notes on how to avoid triggering the rules. There was nothing more specific, which was not unexpected to him.

“No problem.” Duan Geng smiled, lit a cigarette for himself, burned the note Ning Zhe handed him, and took out an exquisite wooden octagonal box from his wide sleeves: “Here it is.”

Ning Zhe took the box and took a look at it. It was a music box.

“You can’t open it here.” Duan Geng gently held down his hand that was trying to open the box, and said, “This is an empowering item, a very special and strange product of rules. The music box contains a piece of music played by a ghost. No matter if it’s a human or a ghost, as long as they hear the music, they will fall into a deep sleep.”

“Are there any restrictions on usage?” Ning Zhe asked, weighing the music box in his hand.

“Of course there is.” Duan Geng nodded and said, “The music in the music box only has a mysterious hypnotic effect when it is played for the first time. If it is played again, it will just be an ordinary song.

Furthermore, this little box is only a strange product granted by the gods, not an immortal ghost of the rules. The music recorded in the music box is less hypnotic than the music played by the source ghost himself. If you encounter a vicious ghost in a rampaging state, a music box alone may not be able to calm it down. “

As he spoke, Duan Geng tapped the music box in Ning Zhe’s hand with his fingers and added, “There are a total of 8 pieces of music recorded in this box. If used properly, it should be enough to hypnotize 8 evil spirits under ideal conditions. Of course, that is an ideal situation. If the music in this box is used up in the future, you can come to me again.”

“I understand.” Ning Zhe put away the music box. This was a pretext Duan Geng left behind because he thought they might work together in the future.

“Then I will go and bring the evil ghost in the prison to see you.” Duan Geng bowed to Ning Zhe with a smile, turned around and walked into the prison through the main gate.

No matter whether they are upgraders or granters, they don’t like to take risks and come into contact with unknown weirdness. But if the rules of this weirdness have been figured out by others, and they just go in to do some hard labor and make some money with enough information… then it’s another matter.

Duan Geng was not afraid that Ning Zhe was trying to deceive him. As the saying goes, a skilled person is daring. He was somewhat well-known in the circle of Qinzhou granters. While he had the ability to protect himself, he did not think that Yu Ziqian would cheat him at the cost of offending the entire Qinzhou granter circle.

It’s just a replicable item, not a real, unique ghost. What’s the point?

Ning Zhe did not go in with Duan Geng, but leaned against a roadside tree and looked up at the sky silently. Unless the other party took the initiative to show it, he would not take the initiative to try to spy on the other party’s strange methods. This is the habit of the upgraded ones.

The night sky was pitch black in the early morning, and not even the stars could be seen.

Around dawn, a bright silver glow began to appear on the distant horizon. Duan Geng, wearing a loose Taoist robe, walked out of the prison main gate with his hands behind his back. In his hand, he held a rope with a long strip of something hanging at the end of the rope.

Ning Zhe walked closer and saw that it was a bluish-white tongue.

“This is the tongue of the ghost that blows out the lanterns. Please take it, donor.” Duan Geng handed the rope in his hand to Ning Zhe.

The rope was an ordinary straw rope, not a prop that could grant special abilities. The tongue tied to it was like a small flesh snake, wriggling slowly, as if trying to make some sound with its lips and teeth.

As he took the tongue, a cold wind blew across the corner of Ning Zhe’s clothes, and the biting chill wrapped around his body, lingering like a ghost.

That was the ghost who was trying to retrieve his tongue. “This ghost is fierce, but I was lucky to have the good words of the donor to protect me. I now have the opportunity to cut off its tongue and bring it to you.” Duan Geng gently brushed the dust off his sleeves and said with a smile, “Next time there is such a good job, remember to contact me. Duan Geng thanks you in advance.”

After resolving the issues here, Duan Geng was not in a hurry to leave. He and his subordinates had to contact the Qinzhou government to write an investigation report and cooperate with the work.

Ning Zhe held the ghost’s tongue and left Chenyu Valley alone with the music box.

His mind is a little confused now and he needs some time to sort out his thoughts.

Well, well, after a trip to Chenyu Valley, not only did he fail to control the God that cannot be looked at directly, but he was also ambushed by Fenwu and Tuyu. After all the trouble, he got nothing but killed his puppet…

So fucking annoying.

However, there were some gains. At least it was confirmed that the ability possessed by Fen Wu was related to memory in addition to luck. Tian Chengyun, Yu Ziqian, Bai Zhi… the memories of many people had been tampered with by him.

“No wonder Lan Shiwen said that Fen Wu is like a mysterious dragon that can’t be seen from head to tail. With such ability, it is too easy for him to hide himself.” Ning Zhe thought for a while and suddenly thought of a very scary question:

“Has my memory been altered?”

This is a very scary question. Once you start to doubt, it is difficult to dispel it because you cannot confirm or disprove it. No one knows whether their memory is real, just like no one can prove that they live in the real world, rather than a brain in a tank soaked in nutrient solution.

Yan Yukuan is crazy like this.

“…What a terrifying ability.” Ning Zhe took a breath silently. In a sense, Fen Wu’s ability might be even more terrifying than the Thought Stamp.

There is a fierce ghost behind you and someone scarier than the ghost in front of you. The road to advancement is really difficult.

Fortunately, Ning Zhe’s will is strong enough. Even if there is such a terrifying monster lurking in the darkness, he will not complain and lose his fighting spirit, nor will he give up and wait for death.

“Since this road is blocked, we can only take the risk of taking another road and use a different method to control the God who cannot be looked at directly.”

Ning Zhe turned into a flying bird and flapped his wings to fly over the green hills in the south of Qinzhou. Below him was a tired city that had just woken up, Taoyuan City.

Ning Zhe passed through the busy steel jungle, crossed the Taoyuan West Branch of Qinzhou Medical College, and came to an area located to the east of the hospital. The famous Qinzhou Medical University is located here. Ning Zhe’s grandfather once hoped that he could be admitted to this school.

The university campus was not fully awake in the early morning. Ning Zhe found the low-key gray-white building among the buildings with ease. This was the cold storage for storing cadavers.

Entering the cold storage and searching for the target according to the number, everything seems so natural.

Ning Zhe, holding a copper coin, walked to a remote corner where no one cared and opened a refrigerator marked “empty”.

“Good morning, Yu Ziqian.”
