A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 100 Everyone has great magical powers, guess who doesn’t?

Your magical power cannot be seen through by those with less strength, and those who can see through it must be much stronger than you. The only way is to escape.

Alarm bells rang wildly in his mind, and the black shadow quickly retreated away from Zhong Xie, and then he found an open windbreaker in front of him.

There was no one in front of him, only the empty windbreaker floating in the air, and his eyes were glued to the lining of the windbreaker, and he couldn't move them away for a moment.

The windbreaker continued to expand and enlarge in his field of vision, gradually covering the sky and making him look extremely small.

Finally, under the inertia of his steps, he plunged into the arms of the windbreaker and let the boundless windbreaker wrap him up.

Shen Junyi flashed out from behind the windbreaker, took two big steps into the box room, and brought in his windbreaker.

Zhong Xie witnessed the whole process and was a little surprised: "I've never seen you use this ability in Wangcheng?"

"Nothing. My family knows about my experiences, so they prepared some terms to deal with it and upgraded a wave of weird stories." Shen Junyi just smiled, then pulled his windbreaker, and the black shadow fell out of the windbreaker in a daze and fell on the seat next to the pavilion in the box.

Judging from his dazed look, it seemed that he had no idea what had just happened to him.

"Your ability is so powerful? It has to be at least a silver entry, right?" Zhong Xie was a little envious. The effect of this silver entry was a bit abnormal.

For a ghost story master of Shen Junyi's level, it still takes a lot of effort to conquer a silver-entry ghost story capsule with a strategy.

"It's okay. It's determined based on the target's mental state. It seems that this guy was scared by you, so it's very easy. How did you find him just now? I have the ability to perceive strange stories, but I didn't realize he was around us." Shen Junyi explained briefly, and then expressed some surprise at Zhong Xie's perception ability.

Even he didn't notice it. Could it be that Zhong Xie still has some high-quality ghost stories related to "detection"?
"I saw it." Zhong Xie responded as he walked in front of the black shadow.

He was not lying, he really saw it.

A phantom limb is also a limb. It's normal for the rat's tail to feel something outside the door, right?
Zhong Xie released Kuster and asked him to block the door of the box, then patted the black shadow's face, forcing him to wake up.

The shadow's face was like the sun shining on the oil-filled sea, emitting bursts of light that made it difficult to see clearly. But now it has transformed from the radiant black into a human face, revealing its true appearance.

His face is long and thin, with a straight nose and deep eye sockets, which looks very three-dimensional. His face has a paleness that comes from long-term illness, and there is a touch of bright red around his eyelids, making him look a bit like a vampire.

do not know.

Zhong Xie looked at the face and confirmed that it was not his old friend in the courtyard. After all this, the black shadow woke up from his dizziness. At first he was still holding on, but then he remembered something and looked at Zhong Xie timidly, avoiding his direct gaze.

"Peng Xiujie, right?" Zhong Xie took a look at the list of young deans and judged the other party's identity from his ability and what Peng Xiujie had said before.

It can be confirmed that this guy is from the same courtyard as him. Judging from his interests and hobbies, he is obviously the guy who likes to dress up as a shadow.

"Yes, we are from the same courtyard and we are all one family. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, it is better not to engage in internal strife." Peng Xiujie immediately apologized with a smile, but he obviously did not do much of this kind of thing in his daily life, so the smile on his face was very stiff, uglier than crying.

Zhong Xie pulled a chair over and sat on it, then picked up a mint candy from the computer desk and put it into his mouth: "Tell me, what kind of enemy is at hand? What do you two want to talk to me about?"

He pointed at Shen Junyi beside him and said to Peng Xiujie, "He has the ability to read minds. You'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, I don't mind having one less competitor."

Upon hearing this, Peng Xiujie hurriedly said, "No, there is no need for that. I will be satisfied as long as I can be the vice president of a branch school. I will not pose much of a threat to you."

He said quickly, "Now the deans and vice deans of 24 of the 22 branches are dead. There are still many opportunities. I really won't compete with you."

"How did he die?" Zhong Xie couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the dean who could be regarded as his life mentor.

"Most of them should have died long ago," said Peng Xiujie. "That's why these young deans want to snatch the quota, not only the quota for the branch hospital, but also the position of dean of the main hospital."

Zhong Xie was curious: "What's so good about the position of the dean? Also, did you guys already have the strange stories before the revival of the strange stories?"

He vaguely remembered that when he was rescued in Wangcheng before, the guide Ding Lihai seemed to have specifically asked him whether he had ever come into contact with ghost stories before they were revived.

From this point, we can perhaps judge that these strange people and events existed before the revival of ghost stories, and Jinchuan Hospital was probably a severely affected area.

"Of course, aren't you?" Peng Xiujie's face was full of disbelief. "Then what do you usually do in your room? Don't you practice?"

Zhong Xie: “???”

what?
Wait, what are you practicing?
Peng Xiujie seemed to see Zhong Xie's doubts. He frowned and looked at Zhong Xie: "Didn't you have wild thoughts when you were in the hospital?"

"Tell me carefully, what exactly does it mean?" Zhong Xie asked quickly. He felt that something was wrong because he knew that the random thoughts he had every day seemed a little scary.

"What you wish for will come true. What you think about every day will gradually show up and become your ability to tell strange stories. Why don't you even know this?" Peng Xiujie was puzzled. He knew that Zhong Xie left the Jinchuan Hospital when strange stories were revived three years ago, but Zhong Xie had clearly spent time in the hospital before that.

He glanced at Zhong Xie and thought that this information was not very important, so he said it normally: "If you stay in that hospital for a long time, you will spontaneously produce strange stories that match your daily mental state."

"You know about parasitic stories, right? Parasitic stories are stories that live on an object. After Jinchuan's 'spiritual communication', it's like you've become the object for the story to live on. And because the story is generated by you, it's the most suitable and easiest to control."

Zhong Xie understood the meaning of these words, which was that humans became the carriers of parasitic ghost stories.

For example, the carrier of the high-heeled female ghost is high-heeled shoes, while the carrier of this kind of strange story is people.

This is a closer connection to the strange story than the strange story that makes the capture of the strange story egg, because the strange story itself was born from an idea that you have been thinking about in your mind day and night.

It will perfectly suit you and you won’t have to worry too much about “explaining” weird things.

This situation made Zhong Xie think of a possibility.

Origin of the Strange Story.

The source of the strange stories hidden behind Jinchuan Hospital must be the root of the strange stories. Isn’t this a replica of Miss Black Goat’s advent in Wangcheng?

After the black goat descended on Wangcheng, some ordinary animals and plants were reborn and became strange creatures like Kuster, and Jinchuan Hospital was similar to it.

However, the situation at Jinchuan Hospital began before the revival of ghost stories, and it seems to have always been under the management and control of the "director".

A root mystery would never allow humans to exploit it easily, so Zhong Xie guessed that there must be something seriously wrong with this root mystery itself.

It is similar to being sealed, but different from being sealed because His power can still be released normally and used by humans.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xie couldn't help but feel that the Eastern Theater's understanding of ghost stories still had room for improvement. Originally, none of the twenty or so cities had ever found the root ghost stories of the "parasitic system", so they believed that the parasitic system attribute was weaker than the other four attributes.

I didn't expect that the root cause of the parasitic mystery could spread across the country, and hospitals in a total of 24 cities (assuming there is only one Jinchuan Hospital in each city) are affected by this root cause mystery.

"So, you didn't succeed in 'communicating with spirits' in Jinchuan Hospital?" A slightly relaxed smile appeared on Peng Xiujie's face, and his fear of Zhong Xie was slightly reduced.

It's very simple. A large part of his fear of Zhong Xie from the beginning to now comes from Zhong Xie's interests and hobbies on the list of young deans.

Playing pranks, torturing roommates, torturing Dr. Zhang.

What kind of hobby is this?
You should know that the spiritual direction of every mental patient in Jinchuan Hospital is formed according to his or her own spiritual thoughts.

It was only after Peng Xiujie communicated with the spirit world that he realized that only carefully selected mental patients like them could have such strong fantasies and obsessions, and could portray fantasy objects so vividly in their minds.

If it were those people who go to school or work outside, even if they were given such a strong spiritual obsession, would they have the time to daydream?

In terms of qualifications in this regard, no one can compare to a mental patient.

Peng Xiujie was originally a paranoid maniac, and his condition improved significantly after communicating with the spirit world. Therefore, Jinchuan Hospital is actually an extremely responsible and effective treatment place.

Based on each patient’s daily activities and records of communication with doctors and hospital directors, Jinchuan Hospital is often able to determine the patient’s “psychic direction.”

Actually, it's just a hobby.

This is the reason why Peng Xiujie was afraid. He was worried that such a person with a bad taste like Zhong Xie would have some very torturous weird stories.

Zhong Xie must have a lot of gadgets to play tricks on people, right?
Now I feel a lot more relieved, because Zhong Xie seemed to have left the hospital before the spiritual communication, so he had no idea about this.

After all, he only knew about this after the revival of the ghost story. Previously, he thought that his condition had worsened and he had hallucinations of super powers. In the end, he found out that his condition had actually improved and super powers were real.

But this was not what Zhong Xie was thinking at the moment.

Hobbies and Interests

Pranks and torture?
What the hell, this is not what he wants.

What he wants most is obviously freedom!
On the other side of the wall is freedom!
No matter it was a prank or torturing people, the fundamental reason was that he was bored, so what he thought about every day was not pranks or playing tricks on people, he just did it out of convenience.

It's jailbreak.

How could such a thing possibly manifest itself in everyday life?

It's impossible to communicate with a psychiatrist, right?

If, I mean if...

In fact, I had already succeeded in communicating with spirits at that time?

So what exactly was the strange ability I manifested at that time?
Zhong Xie suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.

He seemed to understand why his condition improved during his later stay in the hospital.

I also understand why I failed in my jailbreak attempts several times.

Wrong, in fact, there is no failure at all.

It was as if his personality had escaped.

Freedom, they are free, I was the last one to go out.

No wonder he seemed to have forgotten his past personality memories after being rescued from Wangcheng and waking up. He thought that the "shock therapy" he researched was effective, but he didn't expect that some personalities had run away with their original memories.

Zhong Xie rubbed his head. He didn't have any special attachment to these extraordinary personalities. He just hoped that these personalities manifested in strange stories would not come back, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble again.

Now he doesn't have much impression of those disappeared personalities. He only remembers that there were men and women, old and young among them.

According to Peng Xiujie, after he becomes a psychic, he becomes the carrier of his own derived ghost stories. So is his ability to tell ghost stories still there?
Did it escape along with the personality?
No, I seem to still have a rat grid on me.

Zhong Xie lowered his head and looked at his phantom rat tail.

Okay, I understand. The origin of this phantom limb is finally explained. It should be the strange changes brought about by the rat character of Shu Da.

The ability is not strong, but it is indeed abnormal and not something that ordinary people can do.

It is said to be a phantom limb, but in fact it is also his own ghost story slot. Others cannot see or touch it, but Zhong Xie knows that the tail does exist.

"Is there anyone else in your team? Is it the guy who mutilates himself to cultivate immortality? Is Doctor Zhang here?" Zhong Xie continued to ask Peng Xiujie.

In this situation, he would rather get the whereabouts of his old acquaintance Dr. Zhang from Peng Xiujie. Three years have passed, and Dr. Zhang is probably the only one in Jinchuan Hospital who is trustworthy.

Although he is not a good person, Dr. Zhang is really easy to understand. It is much more natural to get along with him. There is no need for intrigue. It is either he kills him or he kills him.

"Doctor Zhang... you ran away after the ghost story was revived, and martial law was imposed not long after. I didn't see Doctor Zhang during the martial law period." Peng Xiujie shook his head. "Later, the dean and the vice dean died, and they didn't convey any information before they died. Our hospital has been ownerless. Fortunately, the existence of the hospital can isolate the invasion of other ghost stories in the city. We just need to go out of the city to find supplies every day and then stay in the hospital. Later, we found this venue."

At this point, Peng Xiujie suddenly realized that he had said too much when reminiscing about the past. He carefully reviewed what he had just said and breathed a sigh of relief.

Still didn't say anything important, seems to be okay.

"You guys aren't doing very well." Zhong Xie showed a mocking smile on his face, "As expected, it won't work without someone to carry the banner, right?"

Thinking of the origin ghost story that was used by Jinchuan Hospital, he had a funny idea in his mind.

Dean, you don't want to...

(I found that many people don’t read the author’s words, so I’ll just say it here. As usual, it hasn’t reached the charging point. Yesterday’s chapter was reviewed, and I revised it. The main idea has not changed. The original paragraph is in the Book Friends’ Photo Album)
