Chapter 30: Urban legend, the Painting Ghost is here, looking for the door

~7 min read 1,290 words

Xu Qing at the door introduced, and they saw Captain Lü carrying Xiao Li's corpse and walking in.

Then he swaggeringly placed the corpse on the ground.

In front of Zhang Tao and the others, he said: "Do me a favor, burn it, and then leave the ashes for me. I'll send it to his family."

After speaking, he sat on the stool next to him and touched his upper pocket.

Empty, then his gaze swept around: "Borrow a cigarette?"

Zhang Tao reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to light it for him personally.

Captain Lü took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and everyone watched the spark slowly get bigger, slowly extinguish, and he didn't speak in the middle, so everyone didn't speak.

Until a cigarette was completely extinguished, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Whoosh—"

"In this day and age, people like us don't even deserve a funeral. We have to be cremated after death, otherwise, it's easy to become something that harms people. Not decent, not decent."

Captain Lü's expression was somewhat tired, but a lamp seemed to be flickering deep in his eyes! He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it lightly.

Got up, extended his right hand: "Formally introduce myself, Upper Subdistrict Special Dragon Team Night Watcher, Lü Liangbing! You can call me Captain Lü."

Zhang Tao hurriedly stepped forward: "H City South Subdistrict Branch Captain Zhang Tao, met Captain Lü."

"This is my team member Xu Qing, this is the person from the branch..."

Roughly introduced the personnel situation, Captain Lü went straight to the point: "This time coming to your branch is because there are some things that need your cooperation, and we also received orders to help you solve the Demon Bear matter. The injured team members will be treated by my people."

"Now I'll tell you about the main task this time—Painting Ghost!"

Hearing this, everyone stood up, their expressions serious.

Lü Liangbing got up, walked to the blackboard, and drew lightly with the chalk in his hand: "Painting Ghost, detected the day before yesterday, Fear Level 4, Special Level ghost, possesses an Infernal Domain, currently known methods include fusion, etc., can forcibly extract the ghost within a Ghost Tamer's body, can integrate into the environment..."

Fear Level 4 is not a very powerful ghost.

But Special Level must be emphasized; ghosts classified as Special Level generally possess their own Infernal Domain, have strong strength, and have many abilities.

Xu Qing, who was recording the problem, suddenly paused and asked: "Captain Lü, may I ask why you specifically reminded the detection level the day before yesterday? Is this ghost's strength increasing very fast?"

Lü Liangbing looked at her and nodded: "Four weeks ago, it was only a Level 1 ghost."

What! Everyone's expression changed. Four weeks ago, a Level 1 ghost, and now it's already Level 4? What kind of growth speed is this? If left alone, wouldn't it soon grow to Level 5, or even Level 6?

After briefly talking about the situation of the Painting Ghost, Lü Liangbing began to ask about the Demon Bear.

Demon Bear is also a Special Level, with very strong strength, special Infernal Domain, etc.

But so far, it doesn't seem to have found that the Demon Bear is specifically killing people, and its tracks are nowhere to be found.

Subsequently, Lü Liangbing looked at the surveillance video of the Demon Bear, a big bear burning with flames, with eyes squirming and rolling in its fur.

That sound is like a toad licking an eyeball.

Lü Liangbing frowned, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Has the location of the Demon Bear been locked?"

Zhang Tao shook his head and said: "These two days, there are many urban legends in H City, all about the Demon Bear. Our people are investigating one by one. Demon Bear seems to possess a special ability, can travel, disappear instantly, so it's very difficult to lock it down."

Lü Liangbing twisted his neck: "Move first to find it, don't let go of a single chance. This kind of Special Level ghost is a danger to all of us humans. Didn't expect two such ghosts to appear in H City at once. I will report to the higher-ups."

"Temporarily follow us to hunt the Painting Ghost. The

Zhang Tao glanced at Xu Qing, who understood instantly, saluted, and turned to leave.

Lü Liang rubbed his temples and said with some helplessness, "This kid is only seventeen and just became a Ghost Tamer. I thought he had a bright future, but now he's lying here. As his captain, this is my failure; as his friend, my heart aches." "Although we've known each other for less than an hour, I hope not to see this kind of thing happen again. Everyone, while you carry the burden forward, watch out for your own safety."

"Yes!"

The official Night Watchers have already released news about the appearance of the Painting Ghost. Whether it's people from the clubs or lone wolves, everyone is taking it very seriously.

If this kind of ghost were to set its sights on the ghost inside one's own body, it would be a truly terrifying thing.

The South District, West District, and Central District all have designated personnel responsible for searching and investigating.

But the Painting Ghost is like it has vanished; its energy is hard to track, and it can merge into anything, so its ability to escape is top-tier.

Central District Hospital.

The driver sitting in the taxi is currently lost in thought, holding his psychiatric report.

"Could it really be that the pressure is too high? So I saw things wrong today?"

The bear full of eyes and the block-like woman he saw today really scared him.

He took advantage of the afternoon to come over and get his mental health checked.

"Old Wang, I told you to stop staying up late, you didn't believe me, and now you're having hallucinations, right?"

"But I don't think Old Wang is necessarily hallucinating. Haven't you heard the recent urban legends? A while ago, several homeless people died in the South District, and the ground was covered in eyeballs. It sounds terrifying."

"And I've also heard an urban legend about a girl holding a bear doll; they are covered in eyes."

The voices of other drivers came through the phone, making Old Wang shiver even more.

"You guys tell me, does what I encountered today count as an urban legend?"

There was silence on the phone for a moment, then someone said, "It doesn't count, because you're not dead yet. If you were dead, then it would count."

Old Wang:......

"But that nursery rhyme you mentioned is indeed problematic. It seems like the shadow of nursery rhymes is in all the recent urban legends."

Old Wang sighed; either something is wrong with my brain, or something is wrong with this world.

He just pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and looked to the side: "This seagull is actually quite pretty."

"Seagull? Is your brain really broken? Can you see seagulls here?"

He was stunned.

Holy crap!

A seagull?

Then, he saw this seagull flying toward his taxi. The key point was that this seagull seemed to have two scalp-numbing eyes growing on it.

His eyes rolled back, his legs kicked out, and he fainted dead away.

"Hey, hey, hey, Old Wang, are you okay?"

"Damn, you wouldn't have really become a background character in an urban legend, would you?"

Extra update today, I keep my word. The subsequent plot needs to stabilize, so take it slow. Everyone, please keep reading, keep commenting, and keep sending those tickets. Thank you.
