Chapter 231: Believe and It Exists, Don't Believe and It Doesn't
"Who is Yan Yukuan?"
From the top floor to the first floor, Fen Wu had been thinking about this question.
The Lamp-Extinguishing Ghost's voice lingered in his ears like a haunting spirit. Every call made Fen Wu want to turn his head and respond even more, but years of experience in dealing with the Strange told him absolutely not to. Being led by the nose by a ghost would lead to death.
"Yan Yukuan? Why don't you answer me?"
"Yan Yukuan, do you want to divorce me?"
The Lamp-Extinguishing Ghost's voice rang out again. Fen Wu's voice stiffened slightly, his pupils became turbid, and after a fleeting moment, they became clear again, as if nothing had happened, and he hurried forward.
Fen Wu certainly had ways to deal with the ghost's demand for his life, but that method wasn't unlimited; using it too much would cause problems for himself as well.
"The guy following behind me should be the ghost attracted by the prisoners... but this ghost didn't go to kill Yu Zi Qian, didn't even kill a single prisoner, yet it just follows me..." Fen Wu quickened his pace, somewhat puzzled in his heart.
Why?
As far as he knew, Yu Zi Qian had no means to artificially create and control a Gridder. The Lamp-Extinguishing Ghost was undoubtedly a masterless wandering ghost lured here by bait; it couldn't be driven by anyone to chase someone without reason.
"In other words, I inadvertently triggered this ghost's killing rule."
Fen Wu quickly recognized the situation. Entangled by the fierce ghost, he hurried into the prison where the prisoners were held.
Solving an unfamiliar wandering ghost in a short time was unrealistic. The most efficient method now was to transfer the curse and run to a place with many people as soon as possible. As long as the number of people increased, someone would eventually trigger the killing rule by chance, attracting the ghost's attention, and he would be able to free up his hands to continue dealing with Yu Zi Qian, who was hiding in the dark.
The idea was good, but unfortunately, it failed.
Fen Wu arrived in the cell block where the prisoners were held, walking past the doors of the cells with hurried steps. The thudding footsteps woke up the dazed prisoners one by one.
However, even so, that life-demanding voice still lingered behind him like a haunting spirit.
"Yan Yukuan."
"Yan Yukuan!"
"I'll count to three, if you don't answer me, we're getting a divorce!"
"What's going on? Why does the ghost only chase me?" Fen Wu was even more puzzled in his heart. This couldn't go on.
He arrived in front of a cell, kicked the prisoner inside through the iron door, and asked: "You, do you know who Yan Yukuan is?"
"Ah?" The prisoner raised his head in confusion, looked at the work badge on his chest, and his expression became even more puzzled.
"I'm asking you a question." Fen Wu pulled an electric baton from his waistband: "Answer me, who is Yan Yukuan."
The prisoner's eyes widened immediately. Not daring to be slow, he raised a finger and pointed at the work badge on his chest: "Yan Yukuan, isn't that you..."
"Me?" Even as knowledgeable as Fen Wu, hearing this, he couldn't help but freeze. Looking down, the work badge hanging on his chest clearly had three words written on it: Yan Yukuan.
"So it's the name of this prison guard." Fen Wu nodded slightly: "This ghost mistook me for Yan Yukuan?"
It seems this ghost's rules have to do with people's names? If you respond when it calls your name, you trigger the rule...
However, this still couldn't explain why the ghost only stared at him.
"Uh, well... you don't look much like the photo, you look a lot thinner." The prisoner said sheepishly through the iron door.
Fen Wu didn't take him seriously. Of course he didn't look like it, because he wasn't Yan Yukuan. He had just randomly chosen a lucky prison guard to replace, put on his uniform, and sneaked into the prison. Thinking this, Fen Wu pulled up his pants nonchalantly, tightened the belt on his waist by two notches. This uniform on him didn't fit, it was too baggy, hanging loosely on him, and his shoulders were a bit sore.
Perhaps he had been too hurried when choosing the person earlier and hadn't chosen someone with a similar build to his own. He thought to himself.
But such a far-fetched reason was destined not to convince the meticulous Fen Wu. He understood his own personality; Fen Wu wasn't a saint who never made mistakes, but he would never make such a low-level mistake.
"This uniform, this work badge, and even this identity of Yan Yukuan... all have problems." Fen Wu's face became serious.
At this moment, the Lamp-Extinguishing Ghost's call rang out behind him again:
"Yan Yukuan!"
Fen Wu stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out from somewhere:
Ding——
It was the sound of copper coins hitting the ground.
"The life-buying money is broken. I was killed?"

"I was just killed?!"
Fen Wu gritted his teeth slightly and hurried out of the prison, his eyes gloomily terrifying.
"Don't know if it works." In the warden's office, a beautiful woman in a dark purple long dress slowly raised a foot and picked up the mobile phone screen she had just stepped on.
The screen was playing the surveillance footage filmed last night. On the paused frame, one could see a person in a prison guard uniform standing in front of the prison gate, lowering his head to search for the keys to open the door. The voice-activated light above his head was on, casting a short shadow on the ground.
The set of surveillance equipment Xia Chan prepared for Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was a high-end model from Baiwu, possessing both full-color and infrared surveillance modes, which would automatically switch depending on whether the ambient light was sufficient.
After Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who had completed "travel," returned from outside the prison, the first thing he did was, in the identity of Feng Yushu, step his foot on this shadow captured by the camera.
"A person producing a shadow under light is an optical phenomenon, which has no essential difference from the imaging principle of a camera. Therefore, theoretically, a shadow filmed by optical equipment can also be used as a special medium for killing."
Of course, this was just theory. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe actually had no idea what the actual effect would be.
"Anyway, it doesn't cost money. Believe it a little, trying it won't hurt." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's mentality was very good, largely because his luck was also very good.
However, good luck is good luck. It's better to try this kind of thing once or twice. Too many times and he was afraid Fen Wu would find clues.
Changing his body back to the burly, robust man, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put away the surveillance equipment and flipped open the notebook he used to contact Xia Yubing again.
New handwriting appeared on the notebook:
【That woman surnamed Feng is by my side now. She said Bai Fugui has already gotten up and is working with his secretary to handle the work piled up over these days】
"I see..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe moved his gaze away from the notebook and looked out from the warden's office window.
Outside the prison's high wall, not a trace of green could be seen. Replacing it and filling his vision was another prison adjacent to the wall.
The world had become smaller.
"Tuyu's ability to pull a certain area into the Strange world is not unlimited. He can't hold on much longer... No, he already can't hold on."
