Chapter 3: Situation

Everyone had been on the bus for two days and two nights, and passed more than ten towns of different sizes on the way, but these towns were completely empty. Apart from "sniffing" the powerful soul bodies of everyone, there was not even a living person. Gradually, everyone was in a heavy mood and began to guess, could all humans have perished, right?

"No, it shouldn't be. The number is not very good. The number of those ghosts is too small. I guess most of the people have fled elsewhere, probably those major cities, etc. Since the world government dares to do such things to absorb the obsession of living people, they naturally should have certain defense measures. It is impossible for all humanity to complete their plans, right? Power can only take effect in the crowd, and then they don't care about power, so they must protect the majority of people. These people are probably concentrated in large cities." Yang Xuguang said very affirmatively.

His remarks also attracted the approval of Yu Weichen. It was just that rational knowledge was one thing, but what he saw in fact was another, and everyone was still confused.

In this way, it was not until the early morning of the third day that everyone finally discovered some traces of humans, which were some garbage left on the roadside, such as packaging bags, waste paper, food residues, etc., and these food residues had not yet rotted, proving that this group of people had passed or stayed here not long ago. This discovery finally made everyone excited. They also stepped up their speed to move forward, hoping to find the place where this group of people was.

In this way, it was not until dusk in the afternoon that everyone saw the fire smoke columns rising in the jungle beside the expressway, and they vaguely heard the noise of some people. Everyone was immediately excited and immediately stopped the car by the side of the road. Even the people who were left behind were not allowed, and they all walked towards the place where the fire smoke columns were rising.

Soon, everyone saw several European youth hiding on some short tree trunks and looking around with all their attention. When they saw everyone coming, the youngest ones could not help but screamed, but they immediately found that everyone was not ghosts. The young men were also excited. When the first few people jumped off the trees, they immediately ran over to everyone, while the other people shouted loudly to the depths of the jungle, as if they were reporting the situation here to the large crowd.

Among the people, Gong Yeyu was a purely snatching goods and did not expect him to know any foreign languages. Among the others, Pei Jiao, Yang Dingtian, Yang Xuguang, Yu Neychen, and even Zhang Heng all knew several foreign languages. It’s a pity that they did not make a living by relying on foreign languages, especially in some small European languages, they did not know about these small languages. It is very obvious that these people in front of them were using these small languages.

"...Who can understand their words?" Pei Jiao looked at everyone with some distress and said.

Everyone shook their heads with a wry smile. Just as Pei Jiao was about to ask the young people in English, Xue Na smiled and said, "Brother Odin, why have you forgotten me again? I have very strong translation skills, so let me do it." As he spoke, Xue Na stretched out her hand and kept wiggling in the void. Strange runes appeared from the end of her fingers, and then they merged into the air in some unknown way, forming ripples. Before everyone could react, the young people began to scream again.

"Oh my God, did you see it just now? What was that thing just now? Magic? Or magic? Ah, look carefully. This little girl has a third eye! Oh my God, is it the legendary Three-eyed Divine Clan?" One of the young men shouted.

Another young man also exclaimed: "No, that should be a kind of special abilities. Yes, yes, I remember reading a novel recording Eastern myths. It says that India seems to have a way of practicing, which can open the third eye on the forehead. By the way, that kind of practice method is called Alaya consciousness, yes, it is Alaya consciousness!"

These young men were extremely surprised. They were all chattering and making noises. No one was convinced by other people's statements and believed that their guesses were correct. However, they did not know that what they said could be understood by Pei Jiao and the others, and they did not have the strange tone of foreigners speaking Chinese.

Xue Na said with a smile: "Do you understand? This translation result is to directly translate the meaning the other party wants to express in your parent language, or directly instill the meaning into your mind, and it sounds like it will become your native language. How about it? Is this skill great?"

Pei Jiao was also shocked. He looked at Xue Na carefully for a long time before saying, "This kind of rune is so great. It simply transcends the scope of technology, just like the legendary magic."

Xue Na curled her lips and said, "The technological means that exceeds imagination are like magic in front of people you don't know. There is nothing surprising about this. At the beginning, our Three-Eyed Clan dominated the Milky Way and witnessed our technological means. Didn't the alien races who also think so? They think these are miracles and miracles, but they don't know that only life itself is a miracle, a miracle. What are these technological means? But Brother Odin, you are right. The Runa text really transcends the technological range you know, because it is one of the most peak and ultimate technological means of our Three-Eyed Clan, and is called the ultimate of the Three-Eyed Clan together with the causal line technology."

Pei Jiao sighed. On the one hand, he was happy to get Xue Na's help. The joining of the three-eyed clan's remnants was unimaginable. On the other hand, it was because the once unimaginable civilization of the Three-eyed clan that was once unimaginable. Such a powerful civilization dominated the Milky Way and almost reached the realm of the Creator was defeated by the hands of "original sin". So humans... maybe humans are not even as good as ants in the eyes of "original sin".

At this moment, nearly a hundred people came out from the depths of the jungle, and there were obviously several times the number behind them. The leaders were all middle-aged and middle-aged people in broken clothes, with very few elderly people, and some women were nervously watching from the back. Fortunately, these people did not show any hostility. After seeing that the few people were not ghosts, the leaders actually smiled.

"Everyone, please come into the camp. Everyone is a survivor who escaped from the city. Don't be outside. Please come in and eat some food and drink some water together. We passed by a small town supermarket before and took away a lot of food there. You must be hungry, right?"

The leader was a kind middle-aged man in his forties. He smiled and said to everyone, while the rest of the people behind him also showed a gratifying smile and a relieved look.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all looked at Pei Jiao and Gong Yeyu, as if they were waiting for them to make an idea.

In fact, Pei Jiao and Gong Yeyu are both people with leadership potential. They originally had their own teams, but they were gathered together because of various situations, so it turned into the current situation. It seems that both of them have the power to lead the team, so on key issues, both of them can come up with ideas.

Pei Jiao and Gong Yeyu looked at each other, and Pei Jiao whispered: "Let's go to their camp and get some important information from them, such as what happened in this world, and he mentioned just now that he escaped from the city. What's going on, they need to tell us."

Gong Yeyu nodded, obviously agreeing with Pei Jiao's statement. Then everyone followed the group of people in front of him into the depths of the jungle. Sure enough, not long after entering the jungle, a simple camp area appeared in front of everyone. In fact, it was not so much a camp, but a small open space, but the branches on the ground were cleaned up, and more than a dozen camping tents were built randomly. This is the so-called camp area.

Pei Jiao could see that the group of people had obviously escaped from the settlement. Although their clothes were a little dirty, they did not look pale and thin. In addition, they were slightly depressed, but their physical condition was very good. In addition, in terms of physique, the physique of white people is indeed stronger than that of yellow people, so the people in front of them looked like hikers camping, and there were like refugees who fled there.

Perhaps there is another reason. This doomsday catastrophe has not come for a long time. Although people are frightened, they have not completely lost hope. The world government also has the most basic control of the regime. Therefore, in this case, people's thinking is still at the original peace period. For example, in the camp, the dozen tents lived in the camp were all elderly or children, or women, and young and middle-aged men gave up their tents with a gentlemanly manner. Obviously, they have not become beast-like humans like those in the end-of-day novels.

The middle-aged man accompanied everyone to the center of the camp. He smiled and pointed to a certain direction and said, "The food we got in the supermarket is there. Although you can get one of them, we have to hike to Paris. Although there are supermarkets in small towns and villages on the way that can get food, not every town is safe after all. Perhaps there are devourers in that town, so you can only give up. So everyone only has a regular distribution of food every day, and everyone here is like this, so please don't mind."

Pei Jiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, but our situation may be a bit special. I want to ask you many questions. Can you find a place to talk to me?"

The middle-aged man looked at everyone in confusion. When he saw Xue Na, the surprise in his eyes was so unbearable. In fact, Xue Na's third eye was not very conspicuous. Her third eye was always closed, and it seemed that there was a gap on her forehead. But if you look closely, you can still clearly see that it was the existence of one eye. The middle-aged man had been observing everyone before, but he felt that the group of people in front of him had an indescribable aura, but he didn't notice the little girl who was seven or eight years old. When he looked carefully, he was surprised to find that the little girl had three eyes, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a few seconds, the middle-aged man looked at everyone and said, "It can be seen that you seem extraordinary. In fact, it is right. Only a few of you can actually rush on the road alone. This means that you are extraordinary... Well, in addition to me, there are five people here. We are responsible for leading everyone to Paris, so I will call them five of them." After that, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked aside and said a few words to the young people. Then the young people hurriedly ran around.

Soon, five men and women came quickly from around the camp, with three men and two women in total, all of whom were middle-aged and middle-aged. It can be seen that they did not use their power for personal gain, and their clothes were covered in dust, no different from those around them.

When the five people came in front of him, the middle-aged man briefly introduced Pei Jiao and others, and then he said to Pei Jiao: "Let's go, there is a small stream outside the camp, which is quite clean and quiet. Let's go there to talk about how?"

Pei Jiao nodded and followed the six people with the rest. In addition to these six people, there were more than a dozen young people holding fire axes or large machetes following them. Obviously, these six people were wary of them. After all, they came abruptly and made such strange requests, so no one could not help but doubt them.

Pei Jiao and others didn't care. Anyway, they had no malice. The most important thing at the moment was to figure out what happened. Since they wanted to follow, just follow them. Not to mention these dozen young men holding cold weapons, even tens of thousands of troops holding hot weapons and heavy weapons, they didn't take them seriously, so they simply mentioned it and followed the six people to a jungle stream.

When the six people stopped, the dozen or so young people stood not far away in a half-encircled manner. The six people laughed and found a few clean rocks and sat down. Pei Jiao and others didn't care. They took a few rocks and sat down. Then Pei Jiao couldn't help but say, "I know you have some doubts about us, but that doesn't matter. Let's talk about our origin first. Because the situation is a bit complicated, it's not clear for a while. We were trapped in some places for various reasons. We stayed there for more than a year and didn't escape from it until more than ten days ago. Who knew that as soon as we came out, we found that the outside had completely changed, almost impossible to see a living person, and no body was found. If we hadn't seen the buildings were basically intact, we even thought that a nuclear war had occurred, so can you tell me what happened in this world?"

All six people showed a look of surprise and surprise, and this expression was more of a kind of disbelief. After a long time, the middle-aged man asked strangely: "I'm sorry, I don't doubt you, but... I just listen to your statement. You seem to have gone to several small towns, are you the only ones? Didn't you meet anything in the middle? How many people died?"

Pei Jiao shook his head and said, "Only one of us died in the middle. As for the fact that we encountered something in the middle, to be precise, it was a ghost-like thing. At first glance, it looked like a phantom-like human figure, but it would change constantly. The image looked very terrifying, and nothing else had encountered."

The expressions of the six people became even more strange. They opened their mouths, but for a long time they didn't say anything. But judging from their appearance, they were obviously saying that they hadn't encountered anything?

After both sides were silent for a long time, the middle-aged man said with a wry smile: "If I hadn't seen that you didn't have a soul weapon on you, I would have thought you were soldiers of the Soul Legion. Otherwise, how could you enter the town with just such a few people?"

Pei Jiao said affirmatively: "I know those ghosts will attack people, but don't you also go to some small villages and towns to find food? Maybe we'll be lucky."

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, not only him, but the other five people also laughed. One of the middle-aged women said with a smile: "How is that possible? The number of those ghosts is far less than that of living people. They will be afraid of the soul fluctuations emitted by our gathering. There are more than 740 people in total, and they only dare to face less than 100 ghosts. They dare not attack us. Once more than 100 ghosts, we will immediately escape from the villages and towns and dare not stay in it at all, otherwise people will die among us. With such a small number of people, even if you encounter two or three ghosts, you will directly attack you, so how could it be luck?"

Xue Na curled her lips and said, "It's blood and energy. The spirit belongs to Yin. The most hope is to get the soul, that is, the part of the yang in the soul. However, a large amount of yang is poison to them, so when a large number of people gather together, the spirit will not attack people. This phenomenon of a large number of people gathering together is actually the accumulation of blood and energy. What's so strange about this?"

The six people immediately looked at Xue Na in surprise, but these six people had rich social experience and would not ask anything rashly. Instead, they looked at Pei Jiao and waited for Pei Jiao to start asking questions.

Pei Jiao thought about it, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, and a laser sword appeared in his hand. Then he said to the six people: "Does the soul weapon you mentioned just mean this thing?"

The six people were shocked and almost all jumped up from the rocks. Not only were they, but the young people not far away were also shocked. For a moment, they forgot to rush over. When they reacted a few seconds later, they found that Pei Jiao was just holding the laser sword in his hand, and there was no malice. Instead, they didn't know whether they should rush over.

The six people looked at each other in horror for a few seconds, and the middle-aged man in the lead said, "No, this is not a soul weapon. The so-called soul weapon is a gun bullet specially developed by the government to fight against ghosts. Your sword... is it a laser sword? Was it hidden in the sleeve before? You... wouldn't you be trapped in the government's secret laboratory before? Did you take out the laser sword when you came out?"

Pei Jiao smiled bitterly. These foreigners have watched too many science fiction movies. They can guess any secret government laboratory matters. However, the meaning in their words is very interesting. Guns and bullets that can fight against ghosts... You should know that those ghosts are not souls. Even if the earth's environment has begun to approach subspace, those ghosts are still invulnerable illusions. It is impossible to hurt them with human weapons, unless it is a super electromagnetic alloy left by the Three-eyed Clan, or a natural weapon. As for this so-called soul weapon... Can the government already make super electromagnetic alloys on a large scale? Or is the government extracting the souls of living people and using the souls?

A light flashed on Pei Jiao's hand, and the natural weapon disappeared into his eyes. Now the six people saw it clearly. The laser sword was not hidden in the sleeve, but entered Pei Jiao's eyes. This situation was too incredible and could not be explained by science, so the six people were shocked again. Fortunately, they were surprised just now, but did not jump up, but looked at Pei Jiao and the people behind Pei Jiao with a silent look.

Pei Jiao smiled and said, "That's why I said that our identity experience is too special, and it must be a long explanation. So I hope you can tell us about the changes in this world. Is it OK?"

The six people looked at each other for a few times, and the middle-aged man in the lead murmured: "Did you be trapped somewhere more than a year ago? Didn't there be ghosts in that place?"

Pei Jiao shook his head, and the middle-aged man said slowly: "To talk about the changes in this world, it was about nine months. No, it should have happened about ten months ago. At that time, various forums and some public websites on the Internet vaguely mentioned the increase in suicide cases in the world. At that time, people in society did not attract attention, and even the government only increased public psychological counseling. Until nine months ago, many strange videos suddenly appeared on the Internet, most of which were captured by mobile phones, and some were selfies. On these videos, some indescribable distortions appeared, just like a cassette appeared in a movie, blurry, but the content on each video was almost the same, that is, after these distortions approached the living person, another distortion was sucked out of the living person's body."

"...After that, all living people who were absorbed with distorted objects in the videos committed suicide. As more and more videos, the government began to control the Internet, which seemed to involve cults and other things. However, with the control of the Internet, the reality did not improve. A large number of people committed suicide in our city. In this way, people in society became more and more panic. Many went to the countryside or remote towns to take refuge. Many people speculated that this might be a new type of virus that would destroy some organ in the human brain, make people lose their self-control, and then commit suicide."

"That's it, eight months ago, when the first large-scale ghost attack appeared. In many small villages and towns around the world, the more sparsely populated places, the greater the possibility of such attacks. This time, even reporters from various TV stations took pictures of their images. Although the ghosts on the scene were a twisted object, the ghosts seen in reality were that kind of terrifying image."

The middle-aged man spread his hands and said, "This is the situation afterwards. As more and more people die, more and more ghosts become more and more. Guns cannot harm them at all, and they will also be invisible. After that, no one will know where to run out. Anyone who has sucked the soul in their bodies will commit suicide and turn into a ball of ashes. Even if the person is tied up, the person will naturally die in bondage and will still turn into ashes. It won't take long for this person's ghosts to appear, so the situation will get worse and worse. Fortunately, with a large number of people dead, we have also discovered some activities of ghosts, such as they will not attack a large number of people gathered together, but if they are scattered in their respective rooms, they will attack these people. So many people began to gather in the center of the city or in some squares. Even if they go to the bathroom, they must call more than a dozen people, otherwise they may be in danger of life."

"After that, about three months ago, the government announced that the research on ghosts had already achieved phased results, that is, the Soul Legion I mentioned earlier. They held special soul weapons and could harm ghosts. They also made many barbed wire mesh materials for making this soul weapon. The places surrounded by barbed wire mesh can also resist the invasion of ghosts. However, the amount of this soul material is too rare, so the government can only protect some important big cities. Before, we all lived in a protected big city, but about a month ago..."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man showed a look of fear on his face. Not only him, but the other five also showed the same expression, as if they were recalling something very scary. The middle-aged man trembled with his hands and took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms. He took out one of them and lit it on his own. Then he took a deep breath, and then stabilized his emotions and continued: "But more than a month ago, a large number of mutants suddenly appeared in those ghosts. They were no longer afraid of the anger of a large number of people gathering together.

And the damage to them is extremely low. The most terrifying thing is that no matter how much damage these mutated ghosts are, as long as they absorb one or two living souls, the damage will be completely healed and become stronger. In this way, more and more ghosts become mutant species, and our city was also breached. At that time, everyone fled everywhere, and only so many people gathered here. God knows how many people still escaped from heaven. Perhaps... maybe more than 90% of the people died in that city."

Pei Jiao and others looked at each other in surprise, and Pei Jiao couldn't help asking: "So what about the soul body? What about the breaker? What about the advanced breaker? This is Europe. The number of soul bodies in Europe is the world's largest, and there are many breaker. There are even several advanced breaker. The Blue Fist Holy Envoy I know is very powerful. Where are they?"

The middle-aged man and the other five showed confusion expressions. The middle-aged man asked strangely: "What is the soul body, the breaker, and the advanced breaker, who are they? Can they fight against the ghost?"

Pei Jiao and others suddenly felt heavy in their hearts. It was very obvious that the world government did not announce their existence, and even... it might even be that these people no longer exist!

Yang Xuguang said with a wry smile: "Will the world government use them all to make soul weapons? How can that kind of soul weapon be comparable to natural weapons? And the demon-level soul can already slaughter these ghosts at will, not to mention the true demon-level souls. Killing these ghosts is like killing pigs and dogs. It seems that the world government has done something earth-shaking."

Pei Jiao was also smiling bitterly there, and the six people in front of him were looking at him with confusion. The six people had told them the world situation before, so he didn't intend to hide it. He said directly: "I know you are curious about our origin and identity. Let's put it this way, in fact, we are all dead... Well, except for this little girl and this woman, we have all died. We are the souls that humans often call."

The six people looked at each other, and their eyes showed a look of disbelief. Pei Jiao could only say, "That's why I said that our origin is very bizarre. As for whether you believe it or not, I can only tell you that after humans die, souls will be produced, and this soul will be wrapped in a layer of sin as soon as it is produced. Well, this sin is the original sin mentioned in your Bible, such as greed, desire, etc., or it can be said to be the cause and effect in our Eastern mythology. In short, the souls produced by humans are not free at all, and are wrapped in sin as soon as they are produced. Then at midnight, these souls wrapped in sin will be pulled into a strange space. You can think of that space as the underworld in your Bible, or you can know it as the underworld in our Eastern mythology, in short, the souls of all dead creatures will be returned."

"As for those who break free and those who break free, they are the souls who struggle out of this layer of sin by themselves. Their souls are extremely tough and powerful, several times stronger than the souls of ordinary people, or even dozens of times. As for the soul bodies, they are helped by those who break free and those who break free, and the human souls who break free are the origin of the soul bodies, those who break free and those who break free."

The expressions of the six people suddenly turned into the kind of expression that looked like a madman. The middle-aged man in the lead even said: "But we can see you, and your actions, behaviors, and even thoughts are completely different from those ghosts. Even those mutated ghosts are not like you. Their only idea is to absorb souls, but you..."

Pei Jiao waved his hand and said, "We are human souls, not those ghosts. Those ghosts only have spirits but no souls, so they naturally do not have the same thinking ability as us. In fact, except for the different forms of our life, you can see us as another variant of human beings. In fact, a few years ago, our soul bodies, those who break free, and those who break free had already existed. Governments around the world have even established soul organizations. We have started to protect the whole world a few years ago and fight with those ghosts everywhere, but you don't know."

The expressions of the six people became even more strange, but fortunately the current world situation is also very strange and cannot be explained by science. So they gradually became a little convinced, but they suddenly heard such a secret, and they didn't know whether to believe it or continue to doubt it.

"More than a year ago, we accidentally learned that the world government was doing an experiment, pulling out the souls of living people, and then raising them with evil thoughts and fears. Then, we used this soul to create all kinds of weapons, so at that time, we turned against the world government, and then were sealed into a Jedi. It was not long ago that we escaped from the Jedi. As soon as we came out, we found that the situation in the whole world had changed drastically. After listening to what you said, we knew that perhaps these ghosts were the research experiments of the world government." Pei Jiao continued.

Speaking of this, the expressions of these six people have become unknown how to describe them. The secrets are one after another, and they are related to governments around the world and even the secrets that have changed the world situation. These things are too far away from them.

Pei Jiao stood up when he said this. He smiled and said to the six people in front of him: "Since the situation has been clear, we should leave. We will investigate the world government clearly about the appearance of ghosts in this world. You should also hurry to Paris as soon as possible. Although those ghosts cannot do anything to us, they are too terrifying for you who are living."

The middle-aged man in charge suddenly said anxiously: "Wait, please wait a moment. You just said that your soul body had already fought with ghosts a few years ago. Can you eliminate those ghosts?"

Before Pei Jiao could speak, Zhang Heng next to him had already laughed and said, "What are these ghosts? They are not even souls. Those ghosts are hundreds or thousands of times stronger than them. They are not two levels of things at all."
Chapter completed!
