Chapter 231
Li Yi stared at the direction Wang Wang Qiao left, his expression extremely solemn. He still couldn't understand until now why this person could appear in front of his eyes out of thin air and disappear out of thin air again?
Possessing such ability, if he wanted to kill them, wouldn't it be easy?
But he didn't make a move.
"I am the same kind of person as him? These words about fearing that I would cause a ghost's revival after I die—what do they mean? Do I have anything in common with him? This should be impossible. I crossed worlds today for the first time and have no connection with this world. How could I be connected with this Wang Wang Qiao? It should be a mistake."
Many doubts appeared in Li Yi's heart at this moment. The few short sentences of Wang Wang Qiao just now seemed to reveal a lot of information, but he didn't know what this information meant.
After all, he didn't understand this world yet.
If possible, it would be best to find a local to consult.
It was just that the special people of this world seemed very few. Their team had turned around the city before and didn't find anyone similar to the person named Wang Wang Qiao just now. Everyone they met was an ordinary person. Therefore, Li Yi had reason to believe that the transcendent power of this world was only mastered by a very small number of people.
That part of the people had extraordinary strength and could deal with the evil spirits encountered just now.
And having few people with extraordinary power meant that the cultivation circle of this world was very small, very exclusive, and ordinary people had no channels to contact them at all.
"But that Wang Wang Qiao said before leaving that I would receive a letter in three days, asking us world-crossers to deliver mail together? What does this sentence represent?" Li Yi pondered for a moment, but still had no clue. Finally, he could only temporarily stop thinking about it and deal with the matter at hand first.
Looking at Xu Xu Qiu Mei's corpse on the ground, he didn't hesitate and immediately took her corpse away from the downtown area to an uninhabited suburb.
Since there were ghosts and incomprehensible terrifying evil spirits in this world, it was better not to keep Xu Xu Qiu Mei's corpse after she died. It was better to cremate it.
Finding some dead trees in the suburbs, Li Yi split them into several sections, piled them together, lit them, and cremated Xu Xu Qiu Mei's corpse.
He guarded it for several hours, and after confirming that no one else was paying attention, he saw that Xu Xu Qiu Mei's corpse had been cremated almost completely. He struck out a few palms, accompanied by the explosion of the Meridian Cultivation Realm martial artist's Qi and blood Gang Qi, and crushed the embers and some bones that hadn't been burned into powder. Then, following the pouring out of the energy, it turned into dust filling the sky and dissipated in this wilderness.
Thus, the traces of Xu Xu Qiu Mei in this world were completely erased.
"Sorry, I have no way to take your corpse or ashes home. I can only let you return to dust and earth here." Li Yi looked at the embers on the ground, let out a sigh, then didn't linger and turned to leave.
He didn't wander aimlessly in the suburbs, but returned all the way to Dazhuang City.
Li Yi had already learned the terror of the ghosts in this world. He didn't want to encounter any fierce ghosts or evil spirits when he was alone. Since the vast majority of ordinary people in the city could live very well, then if he mixed in among them, it would be relatively safe. And he believed that the kind of terrifying thing encountered before should be a minority.
After all, if these things were everywhere in the city, then there would have been no one in the city long ago.
It was just that where should he go now?
Li Yi looked at the city streets in the middle of the night, wandering aimlessly, thinking about his next actions.
"Perhaps I should find that Wang Wang Qiao and have a talk. Although he is hostile to us, at least he didn't make a move directly. Maybe I can try to contact him and obtain some information about fierce ghosts and the transcendent power of this world from his mouth." He thought about it. Instead of finding others to understand this world, it was better to find that Wang Wang Qiao.
But when he returned to that sealed building again, Li Yi was stunned.
The cordon had disappeared.
The originally pitch-black building was lit up again, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.
What's going on?
There was clearly such a terrifying thing in the building; why was it suddenly unsealed?
Wait.
Li Yi reacted immediately. The thing in the building must have been successfully resolved, so the cordon of this building was removed, and the building was reopened.
"Was it done by that Wang Wang Qiao? What kind of means did he use to deal with that old costume..."
Li Yi really wanted to know what kind of means could deal with the ghosts of this world. If there was a chance, he must learn it; otherwise, it was too dangerous to walk in this world. Once he encountered a ghost again, then he, an Evolver of the Meridian Cultivation Realm, would have no power to resist at all and would be easily killed like an ordinary person.
Because the cordon had disappeared, he really couldn't find that Wang Wang Qiao for a while.
No way, he could only leave by himself, planning to find a place to rest.
However, Li Yi didn't have an ID card in this world, couldn't stay in a hotel, and didn't want to leave too many traces. After thinking about it, he decided to find the roof of a building to stay for a while, which was both open-view and not easy to encounter danger. And he also wanted to try to see how the cultivation speed was in this world.
Arriving under a residential building that was not very high.
Li Yi looked up, the energy under his feet exploded violently, and his whole body jumped up. Then, when the force was exhausted, he stepped on the wall, and with the help of the second force, his figure soared again. In just a few seconds of moving left and right, he had already arrived on the roof of this residential building.
Just about to put down the backpack and enter meditation cultivation.
Suddenly.
Li Yi seemed to have sensed something, his vertical pupils glowed, and he looked toward a direction suddenly.
That was a residential building opposite.
This time point had already reached the middle of the night. It stood to reason that ordinary people should have already fallen asleep. But in his vision, he saw a woman wearing pajamas standing on the balcony, looking over here with a dumbfounded expression. At the same time, she was holding a mobile phone, seemingly having seen the scene of Li Yi flying onto the building inadvertently just now, and even took a picture with her mobile phone.
"So unlucky, to be seen by someone at this hour." Li Yi revealed a trace of helplessness when seeing this scene. He originally wanted to ignore it, but considering the particularity of world-crossers, he decided he still had to go find that woman and have a talk, at least to delete the evidence on the mobile phone.
Thinking of this, he had to put on his backpack again, then stepped back a few steps, rushed forward, and jumped out from the high building of more than ten floors.
In just a flash, his whole body had already rushed and flown between the two buildings.
"N-no way, he just jumped down from the roof? Is he still human?" Zheng Zheng Yaoyao, who was standing on the balcony, was dumbfounded when seeing this scene. She originally couldn't sleep at night and came out to get some air, but didn't expect to see a person stepping on the wall and rushing to the roof in a few seconds.
She originally thought it was her hallucination and saw it wrong, but didn't expect that person to jump down from the roof again.
It was just that the distance jumped seemed a bit far... wait, something's wrong, it seems to be coming toward me.
Zheng Zheng Yaoyao was scared and ran back to the room hurriedly.
But the next moment.
A slight sound, accompanied by the shaking of the ground, came. A tall figure had already jumped over from mid-air, then landed accurately on the balcony.
The force-dissipating means of a Meridian Cultivation martial artist made Li Yi land with almost no sound.
He stood up with a calm expression, then walked toward the room.
"Y-you, don't come over..." In the room, Zheng Zheng Yaoyao was trembling all over with fear, holding her mobile phone and wanting to report the case, but her hands were trembling so much that she almost couldn't hold the phone steadily.
"Delete what you just took, and I'll leave immediately," Li Yi said: "I'm just passing by and don't want to hurt you."
"I didn't take anything just now; I was just holding my phone and taking a selfie on the balcony," Zheng Zheng Yaoyao explained hurriedly.
"What you say doesn't count; I'll only believe it after I check." Li Yi walked over, grabbed her phone directly, and then exerted force with his palm.
The mobile phone was crushed into powder by his bare hands in an instant, with no possibility of repair ever again.
Li Yi then took out ten thousand yuan from his backpack and threw it on the table next to him: "This is to compensate you. Go buy another mobile phone yourself."
He didn't do the thing of bullying others with power. Since he destroyed someone else's things, it was natural to compensate.
After doing this, Li Yi turned and walked toward the balcony, preparing to leave here and change to another building to rest.
"W-wait a second." Seeing that Li Yi was not a bad person and had no intention of hurting her, Zheng Zheng Yaoyao didn't know where the courage came from, suddenly called him to stop, and asked: "May I ask, are you the legendary Ghost Controller?"
Li Yi, who intended to jump down from the balcony, stopped his footsteps abruptly upon hearing the three words "Ghost Controller."
Ghost Controller?
Li Yi turned his head and looked at this woman immediately: "What is a Ghost Controller?"
"A Ghost Controller is of course a group of people who deal with ghosts? Don't you know?" Zheng Zheng Yaoyao said.
So people who deal with ghosts are called Ghost Controllers? It turned out that the extraordinary people of this world were called Ghost Controllers.
Li Yi recalled the person named Wang Wang Qiao he had met before in his mind at this moment. He should be a person who deals with ghosts, also known as a Ghost Controller.
"I am not a Ghost Controller. Where did you learn about the existence of Ghost Controllers?" He walked over with big strides immediately, his eyes glowing and staring at her to inquire.
Being stared at like this, Zheng Zheng Yaoyao's hair stood on end, as if she had been stared at by a peerless fierce beast at this moment. A kind of biological instinct of horror and fear surged into her heart instantly, making her almost lose all her strength and almost collapse on the ground.
The life level difference between ordinary people and Evolvers was too great; they couldn't withstand even a bit of aura.
This was like an ordinary person facing a fierce tiger; just a glance from the fierce tiger at close range was enough to make people's legs soft. And Li Yi's life level in front of ordinary people was even higher than the fierce tiger at the top of the food chain, so it was normal for Zheng Zheng Yaoyao to be horrified and afraid.
Li Yi realized this point, immediately controlled his Qi and blood, and restrained his aura. At this time, Zheng Zheng Yaoyao felt a bit better.
"I hope to get all the information about Ghost Controllers. If you can tell me, I will give you some unexpected benefits," he said seriously.
After the suffocating oppression on Li Yi disappeared, Zheng Zheng Yaoyao felt a bit better. She panted, didn't dare to hide it, and said immediately: "I... I don't understand very well either. I heard about Ghost Controllers from my colleague. He also learned about it from a live broadcast room when he was watching a live broadcast online."
"Live broadcast room?" Li Yi said: "Which streamer was talking about Ghost Controllers?"
"A streamer named 'Wodejier Yingbangbang' said it, but now the live broadcast room has been banned," Zheng Zheng Yaoyao said.
Banned?
This was also normal.
The transcendent power of this world was mastered by Ghost Controllers, and the number of Ghost Controllers was small. It was impossible to expose them to the public eye. If the high-level officials intended to block this information, it would be difficult for most ordinary people to know. A streamer who knew some inside information like this would definitely be banned.
"The live broadcast room was banned, so the information should have been spread. How much do you know?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.
