Chapter 232

~11 min read 2,101 words

Li Yi didn't expect that the woman in front of him actually knew some information about Ghost Controllers. This was very important to him. As a world-crosser, he had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, and team leader Zhang Xun had been killed by a fierce ghost. Under such circumstances, he urgently needed to understand information about fierce ghosts, Ghost Controllers, and the like.

Otherwise, let alone exploring this world, whether he could survive safely was a problem.

Zheng Zheng Yaoyao looked at Li Yi, her expression somewhat fearful. She replied: "I don't know much either; it was all heard from my colleague's mouth. I don't know if it's true or false. I'll say the ugly words first: if it's fake, don't blame me for lying to you."

"I'll judge the truth or falsehood; you just say it," Li Yi said.

"My colleague said that Ghost Controllers are a type of people who specifically deal with fierce ghosts. Now there are ghosts haunting some places in the city, and supernatural events exist. Some places even had many people die. Only Ghost Controllers can solve them," Zheng Zheng Yaoyao said.

Li Yi frowned: "Anything else?"

These pieces of information were indeed very one-sided, without any key points, and indeed looked like some pitiful information obtained by an outsider.

But it was still very useful to him.

Ghosts haunting, supernatural events?

It seemed that it wasn't just this city that had similar things; other cities also had them.

So, this was a world haunted by ghosts?

And with the existence of ghosts, there were people who dealt with ghosts, so the cultivators of this world were called Ghost Controllers?

Zheng Zheng Yaoyao thought for a moment and said again: "By the way, my colleague also said that it's very dangerous for ordinary people to encounter ghosts; if you're not careful, you'll die. If you want to survive, you must remember three points."

"Which three points?" Li Yi continued to ask.

"Ghosts cannot be killed."

"Only ghosts can deal with ghosts."

"Insight into the rules of ghosts."

Zheng Zheng Yaoyao said immediately. She remembered these three points very clearly because she always thought that if she could use them one day, after all, this matter was related to her own safety, and keeping a bit more of an eye out was never a mistake.

"Ghosts cannot be killed, ghosts deal with ghosts? Insight into the rules of ghosts?" Li Yi's eyes moved slightly. These three summaries should be the experience summarized within the so-called Ghost Controllers. And combined with the old costume encountered before, this first piece of information was mostly true.

The ghosts of this world were indeed very special. Let alone his Evolver of the Meridian Cultivation Realm, even the Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse Zhang Xun died in the hands of that old costume.

Even with the power of a Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse, there was no way to deal with ghosts.

It could be seen that the ghosts of this world were indeed unkillable, at least in terms of the strength of Li Yi and others at present.

"Because ghosts cannot be killed, if you want to deal with them, you must possess power of the same level. That's why there is the second sentence: only ghosts can deal with ghosts..." Li Yi wasn't stupid and immediately understood the meaning of these two sentences.

Just like in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, martial artists of the Meridian Cultivation Realm could only fight those of the Meridian Cultivation Realm.

Without power of the same level, you didn't even have the qualification to fight.

It was just that Li Yi still didn't understand the third sentence.

Insight into the rules of ghosts?

What rules do ghosts have?

However, Li Yi still remembered these three sentences. When there was enough information later, he would naturally be able to understand them thoroughly.

"Besides these three sentences, what else do you know?" Li Yi continued to pursue, trying to get more information and intelligence.

But Zheng Zheng Yaoyao, as an ordinary person, only knew this much. She shook her head, indicating there was no more information.

"It seems I have to find a Ghost Controller to contact to obtain more information. However, contacting a Ghost Controller is a very dangerous thing. If they can deal with fierce ghosts, it means they themselves possess power of the same level as fierce ghosts. Contacting such people, if you're not careful, you will be killed."

Li Yi now understood the danger of Ghost Controllers.

He was very glad that the person in charge of Dazhuang City named Wang Wang Qiao didn't make a move on him at that time; otherwise, he would definitely die.

"Thank you for your information. Keep this golden nutrient solution and drink it slowly; it's good for your body. You can't buy it here at all; it's a rare item." Li Yi didn't have any more money to give her, so he could only leave a golden nutrient solution as a reward.

Ordinary people could also eat this thing, and it could strengthen the body and prolong life after eating.

In addition, he wasn't worried about the exposure of the golden nutrient solution, because this thing could only be configured in their world. This world couldn't configure it because this world had no fierce beasts, no transcendent creatures, and lacked the raw materials for golden nutrient solution.

Zheng Zheng Yaoyao looked at that golden glass bottle. Although she didn't know what it was, it looked relatively valuable at first glance. Just as she was considering whether to take it or not, suddenly, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a fat mouse passing by in the corner of the living room, which immediately scared her into jumping up from the ground.

"M-mouse."

She cried out, seemingly very afraid of that thing.

Li Yi took a look, and his aura was released. The mouse immediately stood still and didn't dare to move, as if it had met a cat and was trembling all over.

Then a flash of light appeared in his eyes.

The next moment.

That fat mouse squeaked, jumped up, then fell to the ground, and had no movement at all.

"It's already dead," Li Yi said.

"D-dead?" Zheng Zheng Yaoyao opened her eyes wide, very shocked: "How did it die? Did you kill it? How did you do it? Clearly you didn't even touch that mouse."

She was very surprised, because everything in front of her exceeded her range of understanding.

This was the first time in her life she had witnessed such a thing that subverted common sense. If it weren't for experiencing it personally, she would think she was dreaming now.

Li Yi said calmly: "Focusing spirit in both eyes, eyes can kill; this is the Eye-Strike Technique. It's not a special means; it's useful for dealing with things weaker than oneself, but useless for dealing with powerful existences. Forget it, you are just an ordinary person; you won't come into contact with these in the future, and it's useless to tell you."

"I'm leaving. Today, just pretend you haven't seen me."

He wasn't worried about this woman going out and talking nonsense. Without evidence, others would only think she was going crazy.

"Wait, you wouldn't be a time-traveler, would you? You aren't from this world at all." Suddenly, Zheng Zheng Yaoyao gathered her courage, and this sentence suddenly popped out of her mouth.

"Hmm?"

Li Yi stared at her again. At this moment, his pupils turned into vertical pupils, glowing brightly.

But considering she was just an ordinary person, Li Yi then laughed: "Why do you think I'm not from this world?"

"I guessed it," Zheng Zheng Yaoyao blinked and said: "I haven't seen anyone wearing a Feiyu uniform in the middle of the night, flying over walls like a martial arts expert, and even inquiring about Ghost Controllers. And the Eye-Strike you mentioned just now, I haven't even heard of it... And the nutrient solution you took out, I haven't seen it either."

"I'm not stupid. With so many pieces of evidence in front of me, I can guess a little bit. After all, this world even has ghosts and supernatural events; what else is impossible to appear?"

"You are a smart person. But you have to know that smart people often don't live long. Sometimes you have to pretend to be stupid," Li Yi said: "If I kill you, it's no different from killing a chicken."

When he said this, he was also self-reflecting.

It seemed that he hadn't integrated into this world deeply enough. The means he revealed inadvertently had already been guessed by someone that he wasn't from this world.

"Don't worry, no one will believe what I say, so you don't have to kill me to silence me," Zheng Zheng Yaoyao said: "And I know you are a good person. If you wanted to kill me, you would have already made a move just now, instead of choosing to destroy my phone and compensate me."

"So what? What's the meaning of saying these words?" Li Yi looked at her and said: "Even if you guess I'm not from this world, so what?"

Zheng Zheng Yaoyao was excited at this moment. She didn't expect that she really guessed it right. The man in front of her was really not from this world. Sure enough, she hadn't wasted all those years of reading novels and watching TV dramas.

Thinking of this, she said hurriedly: "I can help you."

"Help me? Help me with what?"

Li Yi looked her up and down: "An ordinary person, surviving in this city where supernatural events exist is already a kind of luck. It's best not to participate in some things; otherwise, it will only bring death to yourself."

He was warning her, and also advising her.

"I... I can..." Zheng Zheng Yaoyao wanted to say something at this moment, but her brain turned, and she found that she really had no use and couldn't help this person with anything.

But she didn't want to give up this opportunity. It was not easy to be able to contact people from another world. Just thinking about it made people excited. If she missed this, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"I can give you money. You must be short of money now, and you have nowhere to live. You can stay here. In addition, I can help you ask my colleague later about more information on Ghost Controllers. Don't worry, I will keep it secret and won't say a word. I swear." Zheng Zheng Yaoyao's eyes flickered with curious light, and she raised her hand and said.

"Earthlings are born evil; swearing is like farting, with no credibility," Li Yi said.

Zheng Zheng Yaoyao felt somewhat embarrassed immediately: "That's also true... You know quite a lot about Earthlings. Where are you from?"

"That's a secret," Li Yi said calmly.

He couldn't say that he also came from Earth.

Two Earths?

Or was it that this was Earth, and the world he was from was just "born evil Earthlings" as the Daoist said?

Or was this a parallel world?

Li Yi himself didn't understand. He only knew that this world was called World 36 on their side.

"Fine, then I won't ask. Then have we reached a temporary cooperation?" Zheng Zheng Yaoyao laughed again at this moment.

"I need a mobile phone, a bank card, and a few sets of clothes suitable for me," Li Yi said without being polite.

Zheng Zheng Yaoyao patted her chest immediately and said: "No problem, I'll get it done for you right away. By the way, I still don't know your name? My name is Zheng Zheng Yaoyao. I just graduated from university last year and am now working at a company nearby. This is the house I rented."

"My name is Li Yi."

After thinking about it, Li Yi decided to stay here for a few days to better integrate into this world.

Exposing it to one person was better than going out and exposing it to more people.

After all, this Zheng Zheng Yaoyao was an ordinary person, easy to control, and had no harm. Even if she knew he wasn't from this world, it wouldn't have much impact. If it were known by a Ghost Controller, it would be dangerous. Not every Ghost Controller would let him go like that Wang Wang Qiao. If he encountered some extremists, Li Yi would definitely be finished.
