Chapter 8 Entering a Mysterious Land
In the operator's office,
Wang Xiaoming looked at the information sent by Wei Jing and found that those injured only had superficial abrasions, and the serious ones were just sprained limbs. This made him more confident in his judgment.

"It should be related to the wound."

"Is it related to the wound?" After answering the call again, Wei Jing repeated Wang Xiaoming's words in surprise.

"Yes, if it is related to wounds, many things can be explained. For example, the person who accidentally swallowed a mouthful of sand in Li Jun's record, and the person who rubbed his eyes because of sand in his eyes, are likely to have wounds in their mouths and eyes."

"People who scratch because of itching may also break their skin by scratching too hard."

"Of course, the above is just my reasoning and judgment. I cannot be sure that this is the killing pattern of evil spirits. However, in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain, you should try your best to avoid getting wounded."

After listening to Wang Xiaoming's inference, Wei Jing felt suddenly enlightened. He felt that he had been thinking in this way, but he had reached a dead end. After Professor Wang's words, he finally figured it out.

"Thank you, Professor Wang." Wei Jing said seriously before the call was interrupted.

Although Professor Wang was only giving his own opinion, Wei Jing's intuition told him that Professor Wang's guess was probably right.

With the ghost-chasing bell in hand, Wei Jing thought he could try to imprison Huang Sha's ghost, then rescue Li Jun and take back the ghost-fire lantern. This way, even if his evil spirit revived, he could bring back a ghost-chaser to the headquarters.

Thinking of this, Wei Jing did not act impulsively, but prepared to follow the original plan. He would first send the survivors of the gymnasium out of the ghost domain tomorrow, and then explore the yellow sand ghost domain.

On the other side, after separating from Zhao Jianguo, Wang Xiaoming returned to the dormitory. Too many things happened today, including awakening his memory, becoming an extraordinary person, and a series of other things that made him feel tired.

But Wang Xiaoming did not rest. He sat at the desk in his bedroom and began to read professional books on mechanical manufacturing.

Science and technology are developing rapidly in today's society. The wisdom of mankind over the years has exploded in this era. Basic subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics have evolved into countless sub-subjects.

The amount of knowledge in each aspect is enormous. This is the countless knowledge accumulated by human civilization over the years. What he learned before is just the tip of the iceberg.

If there had been no supernatural invasion, the world might have already begun to advance into outer space, colonize galaxies, and soar through the universe.

But there is no if. People in this world no longer have time to develop space technology.

The books Wang Xiaoming is reading now are just a drop in the ocean of books compared to the knowledge created by the entire human civilization.

Just like now, he is just a tiny individual in the entire human race, but this tiny individual will one day burst out with huge energy.

Soon the next day arrived. After a night's rest, Wang Xiaoming felt that his spiritual power had fully recovered. On the way to the cafeteria, he tapped his cheek twice with his left hand, and his spiritual vision opened. In his eyes, all the people on the road were surrounded by colorful colors.

He began to recall the mysterious knowledge...

“Although this world does not have an astral spirit world, in the eyes of the spirit vision, the non-physical part of a person is still divided into four layers.”

"It's complicated to talk about these four parts, but it's not hard to understand if you think about it carefully. The innermost spiritual body is the most fundamental and is responsible for generating spirituality. The second layer, the astral spiritual body, is responsible for communicating with the astral spiritual world. In fact, it is responsible for the Beyonder's spellcasting."

"The third level of the mental body is easy to understand from the name. It involves the mind and intelligence. The Sequence 9 Universalist is the part that is improved."

"The fourth part, the etheric body, is the outermost layer. It reflects the physical condition and life energy of the organism. Anything related to the physical body can be seen from the etheric body."

While recalling the mysterious knowledge, Wang Xiaoming scanned all the people he could see. Suddenly, he found a special person... He saw that the other person's etheric body was dim, as if he would not live long, and his mental body also changed.

However... the main reason is that its most core spiritual body has been infected by a touch of black, which then affected other soul layers, just like ink dropped into a cup of clean water, the ink will gradually contaminate the clean water.

"Is this the Ghost Rider?" Wang Xiaoming dispersed his spiritual vision and knew the other party's identity. This was also the first time he used spiritual vision to observe a Ghost Rider.

Cao Yang was standing on the roadside waiting for someone when he suddenly felt cold all over, as if someone was watching him. There were many people watching him, but this time it was different. He felt like he was stripped naked and being seen through.

Following the direction of his sensation, he discovered that it was a young man holding a book. He had an ordinary appearance and was wearing a white coat. It was the person he was waiting for... Professor Wang Xiaoming.

"Professor Wang," Cao Yang stepped forward and spoke, "I am the ghost rider sent by the headquarters to protect you. My name is Cao Yang."

"Hello," Wang Xiaoming shook hands with the other party. After hearing the other party's self-introduction, he thought of the other party's information.

"Cao Yang... one of the captains of the Future Headquarters. However, his specific abilities are not described in the novel. Later, he also controlled the evil spirit of Fang Shiming in his circle of friends."

"He also signed a contract with a peddler-like evil spirit, capturing evil spirits for the peddler and trading with him. In the end, he died at the hands of the peddler."

"He probably hasn't met the peddler yet, he's just controlling a fierce ghost."

"His uncle was Cao Yanhua, who later became the deputy director of the headquarters. He was from a family of officials. Although his personality was a bit casual and frivolous, he was not a bad person at heart and could be trained."

Wang Xiaoming thought about Cao Yang's information and made a quick judgment.

It would be difficult for him alone to end the supernatural era, so he decided to select a few ghost riders to train in the headquarters to maintain the dignity of the headquarters, at least to prevent them from obeying orders but not declaring.

"Can you tell me about your ability to control evil spirits?" Wang Xiaoming asked casually.

"Uh..." Cao Yang didn't expect Wang Xiaoming to be so direct. Although he and Wei Jing had talked about Wang Xiaoming before and understood some of his personality, he still felt a little overwhelmed by this direct questioning.

After all, the way ghost riders communicate nowadays is 'no communication'. The evil ghosts they control and their abilities are kept secret and they will not reveal any of them to outsiders.

"My ability to control evil spirits is manipulation. I can influence evil spirits or control enemies." After thinking about it, Cao Yang revealed the information that he could control evil spirits. After all, the other party was a big shot in the supernatural world, and he would need the help of the big shot to control the second evil spirit in the future.

What made him speechless was that Wang Xiaoming didn't react after listening to it. He just turned around and left, as if he was just asking casually, just like people saying hello -

"Have you eaten? Together?" Wang Xiaoming's greeting came from the front.

"No," Cao Yang followed quickly, "I'm almost starving to death."

Following Wang Xiaoming, Cao Yang looked at the young man next to him and had only one comment in his mind - strange.

Wang Xiaoming and Cao Yang came to the cafeteria to eat, found an empty table, ordered some light food, and began to eat in silence.

"The headquarters sent Cao Yang to protect me. It should be because Zhao Jianguo reported the matter of the ghost-exorcism bell. My importance has increased again. It is also to prevent the tentacles of other forces."

Although Wang Xiaoming was eating, his brain was still working. "It seems that the frequent occurrence of supernatural events has caused some people to develop ambitions that they shouldn't have, and the headquarters has also begun to be vigilant."

In the experimental base of the headquarters, he was not worried about his own safety. Now with Cao Yang's protection, it was even more secure. After all, this was still a society ruled by law.

Although the power of ghost riders is beginning to rise, no alien species have appeared yet, and human weapons can still threaten some top ghost riders.

"Just the appearance of a ghost-chasing bell has already caused changes that are different from the original work. I am afraid that the world will become unrecognizable in the future."

However, Wang Xiaoming will not stop his steps. The development of this world will definitely take a different path from the original, and he firmly believes that he can handle it all.

After breakfast, the two came to Laboratory No. 3. After Wang Xiaoming introduced Cao Yang to his experimenters, he began to issue tasks.

"Pang Dong, go to the Logistics Department and apply for all the supernatural materials that have been left over from supernatural research. Remember to apply for all the varieties."

"Chen Wei, go to Lab A to check if Wei Yan is still alive. If there are no signs of life, seal it up and empty the lab."

"Cui Chongshi, go find me some bronze metal sheets, cut them into strips that are eight centimeters long and four centimeters wide, and give them to me."

"Others continue with the previous experiments. I will find you if I need anything." Having said this, Wang Xiaoming waved his hand to signal for the group to disperse.

All of a sudden, the people who received the task dispersed in a swarm, and Wang Xiaoming took Cao Yang to a rest room, where Wang Xiaoming continued to read the book he had not finished yesterday.

Cao Yang felt very bored. He didn't expect that Wang Xiaoming would start reading after arriving at the laboratory instead of doing the experiment he had imagined.

Cao Yang started playing with his cell phone.

Longmen Town, the ghostland of yellow sand.

It is already daytime, but because of the existence of the yellow sand ghost domain, it is still dark outside even in the daytime, and nothing can be seen clearly at a distance of more than ten meters.

Several people in black uniforms distributed food and water again, and went forward to comfort people who had emotional breakdowns.

When the time was about ten o'clock, the men in black uniforms gathered the survivors and lined them up.

After everything was completed, the leader in black uniform came to Wei Jing to report. "Sir, all personnel are ready."

"Okay, I understand." Wei Jing stood up and walked towards the crowd. Just as he was about to open the ghost zone, a sound suddenly came from outside the gymnasium.

The survivors instantly fell into panic, many of them covered their mouths and began to cry. Several people in black uniforms quickly took out their pistols and pointed them at the entrance and exit of the gymnasium.

But after a long time, there was no movement. Wei Jing looked at the man in black uniform and said, "Send two people out to check."

Soon, two men in black uniforms stood up, each holding a pistol, and walked out of the gymnasium.

After a long time, just when everyone was worried that something might have happened, two people in black uniforms came in carrying a little girl.

"Sir, this is a survivor who heard the broadcast and rushed here."

"Good luck," Wei Jing smiled at the dirty little girl, "I hope you can bring me good luck."

Because of the existence of the yellow sand ghost zone, the sky full of yellow sand blocked the vision and seriously affected the speed of rescuing survivors.

So they used the gymnasium near the town center as a rescue point, and every hour, men in black uniforms would use technology to broadcast throughout the town to explain the location of the rescue team, and as long as there were survivors, they would be able to hear the broadcast.

Every twenty-four hours, Wei Jing would take all the survivors gathered in the gymnasium away from the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain. This would delay the invasion of the supernatural to the greatest extent possible.

But I didn’t expect that there would be survivors coming to see me just before I set off. I can only say that the little girl was lucky, otherwise they would have left if they were a little later.

Bringing the girl into the team, Wei Jing began to use the power of the evil spirit. Endless black mist poured out of his body and quickly spread around. In the blink of an eye, everyone appeared on a country road. There was endless black mist all around and nothing could be seen clearly.

The path under my feet was muddy, and the yellow mud seemed to swirl around my shoes, making every step require a lot of effort.

Fortunately, the path was like a snake, constantly twisting and spreading forward, and everyone was like riding on an escalator. In the blink of an eye, they had walked a long way out of the yellow sand ghostland.

This is the evil ghost controlled by Wei Jing. Its body is a yellowish mud and it has a ghost domain. The dirt road formed by it has a strong invasion ability. Even if the opponent's ghost domain is stronger than his, he can open up a dirt road to invade or escape.

When the fog dissipated and the bright sunshine shone on the faces of the survivors, a feeling of joy of seeing the light of day again surged in their hearts. They held their heads and cried, not knowing how much joy and how much sadness were in that feeling.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the crowd, the staff outside Longmen Town were not surprised. They came forward and led them into the tent. The lucky little girl was also taken away reluctantly.

"Thank you for your hard work!" A dignified middle-aged man walked out from the staff. He held Wei Jing's hand and said excitedly, "Thank you for risking your lives to rescue the residents of Longmen Town. I... On behalf of the 10,000 residents of Longmen Town, I sincerely thank you."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man and the staff behind him bowed to Wei Jing and others to express their gratitude.

Wei Jing did not speak, nor dodge, but said indifferently:

"The rescue mission is over for now. Next, I will go deep into the ghost realm to try to imprison the spirit. If I don't come out after a day, you will evacuate."

"We will stay here until you come back." The middle-aged man stated solemnly.

This time, Wei Jing did not stop. He opened the ghost domain again and moved towards the yellow sand ghost domain.

I saw a black line flash across the sky, and a road was opened up in the yellow sand, but it was soon covered by the yellow sand again.

Wei Jing, who controlled the ghost realm, quickly arrived at the place where Li Jun disappeared, which was suspected to be the source of the strange yellow sand... Friendship Park.

I saw that this place has been buried by yellow sand. There are no green plants or buildings. Even the artificial lake that once covered dozens of acres is nowhere to be seen. At a glance, there is only yellow sand.

It's clear that the anomaly is not in the real world.

Expanding the domain, without hesitation, Wei Jing completely released the power of the ghost domain. The yellow sand in front of him began to become illusory, and Wei Jing vaguely saw the space under the yellow sand.

With a thought, a path appeared, and Wei Jing followed the path into the space hidden under the yellow sand.

Just after entering the space, he felt that his spiritual power was showing signs of being out of control, so he quickly withdrew from the ghost domain and looked around vigilantly.

This is an underground space.

The power of the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain was inexplicably suppressed here. Yellow sand appeared from time to time, trying to erode this place. A thin layer of yellow sand covered the ground. Wei Jing looked around vigilantly.

wow...

Perhaps sensing the breath of a living person, the yellow sand under his feet began to shake. Wei Jing quickly moved away. For safety reasons, he chose to directly play the ghost-exorcism ringtone on the phone.

This is also one of the purposes of this trip, to test the practicality of the ghost-chasing ringtone.

As the bell rang, Wei Jing felt at ease for some reason, and even the yellow sand that was making strange noises in the distance stopped for a moment.

But then the yellow sand gushed out like a fountain, turning into a human-shaped sand sculpture, and walked towards Wei Jing.

The Sand Sculpture Ghost Slave's movement speed is not very fast. Its whole body is made of yellow sand. When it moves, yellow sand keeps falling down, and at the same time, yellow sand flows out from under its feet to repair itself. It looks very strange.

Seeing the stupid ghost slave attacking, Wei Jing did not choose to escape. He planned to take this opportunity to test the defensive power of the ghost-exorcising bell so that he could control the scale in subsequent actions.

At the same time, he drew out the golden pistol from his waist, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time. When the sand-sculpture ghost slave was two meters close to Wei Jing, the sound of the ghost-exorcising bell suddenly increased in intensity. The sand-sculpture ghost slave in front of him seemed to be severely hit and instantly turned into loose sand.

Then the sound of the ghost-exorcising bell returned to normal. Wei Jing wanted to confirm whether the bell was damaged, but no matter how hard he listened, he could not remember any notes. He could only remember the general melody, but could not describe it and repeat it.

He could only judge by feel that the ghost-exorcising bell was still playing smoothly, with no signs of jamming or missing notes.

Now it seems that it is just an ordinary ghost slave attack, which is not worth mentioning for the ghost-exorcising bell.

After getting the result, Wei Jing couldn't help but smile. He was more confident about this action.

Because in many supernatural events, the biggest threat to the ghost rider is not the evil ghost, but the ghost slave. Dealing with the ghost slave not only fails to eliminate the evil ghost, but will consume the ghost rider's power and accelerate the revival of his own evil ghost.

Having the ghost-chasing bell can be said to free the ghost hunter's hands, allowing them to concentrate their energy on dealing with evil spirits.

He walked towards the depths of the underground space, but Wei Jing did not notice that wherever he walked, yellow sand began to pour out after he walked away, and yellow sand ghost slaves kept appearing.

These ghost slaves followed Wei Jing in the direction he left with expressionless faces. More and more of them gathered, and soon there were hundreds of them.

As he went deeper into the space, Wei Jing found that the yellow sand under his feet was becoming thinner and thinner, as if he was about to walk out of the range of the yellow sand ghost domain.

In the ghost realm, spatial distances are blurred and there are generally no clear boundaries.

This situation probably occurred because some other supernatural power interfered with the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain, causing the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain to become connected to reality.

"So the yellow sand ghost came from this place?" Wei Jing thought to himself, and continued to move forward.

He came to an underground cave. Although there was no sunlight here, there were unknown fungi at the top of the cave emitting a faint blue light.

The entire cave was filled with eerie horror. Wei Jing looked behind him. There was no yellow sand ghost domain and no exit. There was only an icy inner wall. This was a sealed cave.

Wei Jing was not panicked, he knew that he had come to the place where the supernatural really broke out. This place was isolated from the world and could only be reached through the ghost realm.

I didn't see Li Jun when I got here, so it seems that he must have gone deep into the cave.

The cave is cylindrical in shape, with strange rocks standing in it, occupying most of the space. There is only a small path in the middle of the cave for pedestrians to pass through.

Wei Jing walked forward along the path again. Under the reflection of the dim blue light, the strange rocks on both sides looked like legendary demons, with bared fangs and claws, as if they were about to pounce on him and tear out his heart and lungs.

Only the incessant ringing of the bell beside him made Wei Jing feel at ease. He held the golden pistol in his hand, looked alert, and quickly passed through the path.

The cave gradually narrowed, the strange rocks on both sides began to decrease, and the luminous fungi disappeared, but the light did not disappear.

Human-shaped statues holding bronze lamps began to appear on both sides of the road, embedded in the walls on both sides, and the bronze lamps burned with orange-red flames, illuminating the passage.

Wei Jing looked carefully but found nothing unusual. In view of the strangeness of this place, he did not destroy the statue to check it out.
