Chapter 120: Merry-Go-Round, Demon Bear join forces?
"Codename tentatively Boatman, strength level tentatively."
After a moment, Zhang Miao and Liu Li arrived at the scene.
For some reason, others were very painful after the Wasteland Gaze erupted.
Instead, Zhang Miao seemed fine; not only did the Wasteland Gaze not erupt, but it actually formed a balance with her original ghost in her body.
Now, not only could she release ghost abilities on a large scale, but the side effects were very light; it seemed the Wasteland Gaze had swallowed all the backlash of her original ghost.
Arriving at the scene, the two simply registered.
Liu Li squatted on the ground, looking at the concrete road ahead, and analyzed: "New type of ghost, never appeared before."
Zhang Miao nodded: "Surveillance didn't capture it; its magnetic field affected everything around it. The only thing that can be perceived is that there is a bamboo raft and a boatman."
"He was live-streaming when the incident happened, and he filmed the rough situation of the ghost."
"The bamboo raft can come ashore, using the ground as a water surface to surge."
The two were embedded in the concrete ground, and there were ripple traces on the concrete ground behind.
As if in the last second, this concrete had not yet solidified, and the solidification only occurred at the moment it emitted the ripples.
Liu Li got up, biting on a cigarette: "Let's go, let's go back first. The captain seems to have woken up too."
"Hmm."
The Night Watchers' cars were basically all uniform extended business cars.
Before long, they arrived at the Night Watcher branch.
The original Night Watcher branch was very simple, just a borrowed local police station, but now the situation of ghost revival was getting bigger and bigger, and the official force had made a strong move.
The number of Night Watchers in each sub-district had increased, and the funding had increased significantly.
The H City branch they were in was a specially designated area, very large, with special forces stationed next to it.
These special forces personnel cooperated unconditionally; this was the power of the Night Watchers.
Like the Ming Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard, they could execute first and report later, their power and authority were overwhelming.
At this time, in the innermost room, Su Jinlong was leisurely eating soft candy, one after another.
Sitting beside him was Lü Liangbing, who had just woken up; his complexion was still somewhat pale, and there were many tiny wounds all over his body, but the situation of the Wasteland Gaze seemed to have been suppressed, and he could get up and talk.
"No need to say anything, you can't manage the Demon Bear's affairs. I have already told the higher-ups; stay for two more days and then you and the Doctor will go back."
Lü Liangbing put down the orange in his hand and straightened his back: "Teacher, I..."
Before he could finish, Su Jinlong waved his hand directly: "I am not discussing with you; this is an order from above. After going back this time, recuperate well, solve all these eyes, and your strength will be improved."
"Now the laboratory has received news that the three newest potions have been successfully developed; go back and try them."
He opened the candy and threw a peach-flavored one in.
Chewing it, his expression was somewhat strange, and he muttered: "No, it doesn't have the taste of the last one."
"Teacher, why have you liked eating candy recently?" Lü Liangbing was dazed, and Zhang Miao and the others walked in, smiling and putting a bag beside him.
It was full of candies.
Su Jinlong smiled, picked up a transparent candy, and said: "This thing, maybe it can save your life at a critical moment."
Zhang Miao and the others were stunned for a moment, and didn't ask much.
Instead, they sat beside Lü Liangbing; they all had infected Wasteland Gaze, so they didn't need to be specially isolated from Lü Liangbing.
"Senior Brother, listen to the teacher, go back first."
Looking at the dazed Lü Liangbing, Zhang Miao sighed and spoke slowly.
Lü Liangbing still didn't speak, his eyes looking at his nose, his aura low. Su Jinlong didn't say much to him either, but instead asked Zhang Miao: "How is it? Have you found out the ghost level?"
Zhang Miao handed over the document in her hand and explained at the same time: "Level is tentative, codename Boatman, the last direction detected was heading southwest."
"Rule type, feels somewhat like the Painting Ghost, strength should be stronger than the Painting Ghost, our people haven't locked onto it yet."
The Painting Ghost's strength was not in its rules, but in its ability to grow after devouring ghosts.
Before it grew, it was very weak; no one knew the strength of the Painting Ghost after it devoured four ghosts.
Fortunately, the Painting Ghost had also been solved by the Demon Bear.
The problem now was that the Demon Bear's growth speed was no less than other ghosts, and he had also become an unknown variable.
Su Jinlong bit the candy, somewhat sticky to his teeth, reached out to pick at it, then wiped his hand with paper, and said: "The Demon Bear's situation is the most special; now even I can't understand it, whether we should eradicate him."
"To eradicate him, but we can't eradicate him; it's really troublesome."
The official attitude toward the Demon Bear was one word: Kill—
The key was that the B-Rank or higher Night Watchers in H City were temporarily only Su Jinlong and Xing Tao.
Xing Tao facing the Demon Bear was like a child fighting his old man; there was no chance of winning.
He and the Demon Bear were two-eight; it was impossible to play at all. Only by risking his life was there a glimmer of possibility.
And, the Demon Bear saved them, and that little girl also seemed to have saved Zhang Miao twice; he couldn't understand it.
Zhang Miao stared at Su Jinlong and pursed her lips: "Teacher, I feel the Demon Bear has room for negotiation; he doesn't seem to have actively strangled us."
If the Demon Bear were the same as other ghosts, then the group of people present would likely have died long ago.
"I have another idea." Zhang Miao recalled the day at the hospital, the scene where the Demon Bear deliberately let them go and absorbed fear, and said tremblingly: "The Demon Bear might be deliberately letting us go, and then spreading fear."
"Compared to killing us, he seems to prefer absorbing the fear on us."
"Now there are many urban legends appearing in the city, all related to him, but the number of people who truly died in his hands is really not many; he seems to want to spread fear throughout the world."
"H City is the beginning."
Her words made everyone fall silent in place.
It seemed very reasonable; first of all, the Demon Bear was definitely not on the side of humanity, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things, and he wouldn't be working against the official side.
Secondly, the Demon Bear didn't specifically torture and kill Night Watchers; every time he appeared, it seemed to be related to another new type of ghost. To say he hunted Night Watchers was not as accurate as saying he was hunting ghosts.
"Painting Ghost, Actor, God, three Special Class ghosts all died in his hands, and even the final Death Peach Vine was his enemy. Is the Demon Bear really hunting ghosts and spreading fear?"
Liu Li stood frozen in place, saying word by word.
Su Jinlong counted the candies, seeming to be thinking about what the two were saying.
Just as he was about to speak, at the door, the tall Xing Tao walked in.
"Master, J City has a problem."
Su Jinlong looked up: "What's the matter?"
"Eyeballs have appeared in J City; it seems to have been passed over by Tang Cai. It met with the Merry-Go-Round."
Everyone stood up one after another, looking at Xing Tao with serious expressions.
Seeming to look forward to his next words.
Xing Tao continued: "The two ghosts seem to... have joined forces."
