Chapter 238: Chapter 178: The Shock of the Ghost Day! The Rules of Beijing University!
In the gloomy and dark palace, Ghost Sun sat with his legs crossed, surrounded by dozens of pitch-black fogs twisting and rolling continuously.
Suddenly, his eyes flew open.
There was no wind, but the banner of ten thousand ghosts behind him was fluttering. One of the dark smokes suddenly collapsed and dissipated.
His pupil contracted slightly, doubtfully said, “Ghost Crow was killed? Even his soul didn’t escape? Who was it?”
“According to the information provided by the inside line, Ghost Crow collaborated with the group from Eagle Nation to snatch a world wonder, and he actually died there….”
“Could it be… there were other Nightwatchers on that train…?”
Ghost Sun clasped his hands together, and groups of ghostly shadows circled around him.
The banner of ten thousand ghosts behind him spun to his front and abruptly unfurled.
A mass of dense shadows suddenly surged in all directions, his hands pointed sharply forward..
In an instant, the banner of ten thousand ghosts started to flicker with a dim light.
Within the light, various scenes appeared before his eyes.
It was a figure…. covered in flashing lightning.
“Xu Qingfeng!”
Ghost Sun bit his teeth, his triangular eyes stared fixedly at Xu Qingfeng: “So it was like this, Xu Qingfeng was on that train, no wonder…”
He subconsciously covered his heart. There was a lightning-shaped wound, a proof left by Xu Qingfeng a month ago.
“Damn it…”
He clasped his hands again and violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the banner of ten thousand ghosts.
“Thousands of ghosts seeking spirits, show your obliterated souls….!”
“Buzz….”
In a moment, Ghost Sun’s eyes were shrouded in a shady fog, another scene immediately appeared before his eyes.
Bodies everywhere, cheering crowds, a stalled train, and several familiar figures in the distance.
“As expected, it is you… Xu Qingfeng! And the heir of the Zhao Family of Beijing…”
The scene appearing before his eyes was exactly the gathering of Zheng Cheng, Xu Qingfeng, Zhao Yunxiao, and others in front of Ghost Crow’s corpse!
“Hmm? The aura on that girl… it’s my Nine Nether Soul Smoke!”
“I see. So, the Nine Nether Soul Smoke that Black Sun borrowed from me ended up being absorbed by this girl!”
“Hehehehehe, worn-out iron shoes without a single place to find, yet I gained it without any effort…!”
Ghost Sun’s tone became excited, his gaze on Son Chaoyu was fixed and intense.
“I originally thought that I wouldn’t even get a return on the investment I made on Black Sun’s. I didn’t expect it to give me such a surprise!”
“As long as I can take back this strand of Nine Nether Soul Smoke, the legend can be fulfilled!”
“Hahaha…”
Ghost Sun laughed loudly when he noticed a figure walking towards Ghost Crow’s body.
“Hmm? Zheng Cheng? The kid who snatched the world wonder… what’s he doing here?”
In his line of sight, Zheng Cheng walked to the corpse of Ghost Crow, slyly drew out the Yunxiao Sword, and slashed at Ghost Crow’s body.
“Buzz….”
An eerie fluctuation suddenly flashed over Ghost Crow’s body, which simultaneously transmitted to Ghost Sun’s body!
The scene before his eyes vanished instantaneously.
Almost at the same time, the depths of Ghost Sun’s soul violently trembled, a frightening fear surged uncontrollably.
“What, what is that?”
“Damn kid… what did he do!”
“Zheng Cheng! Damn kid… what exactly… did you do to me?!”
“Woo…!!!”
The deep and piercing sound of a train horn came. After a day and a night of sailing, the K546 train slowly pulled into a small city near Beijing: Xihua City.
This is one of the satellite cities on the outskirts of Beijing, playing a role as a fortress for Beijing and also diverting Beijing residents.
After the great disaster, more than half of the main cities throughout the country were destroyed, some small cities were even flattened, turning into ruins.
More than thirty main cities, more than half of them were built afterward.
Be it the capacity for population or the area size, they were all far smaller compared to established main cities like Beijing and Chang’an City.
Among them, Beijing had the highest population!
This resulted in a large number of professionals in Beijing, skyrocketing housing prices, as everyone wants to live in a safe place.
It was practically impossible for an ordinary person to enter Beijing through the teleportation array.
They could only teleport to one of the ten satellite cities guarding Beijing, then register their information, unify their identities in the satellite city, and then enter Beijing through a designated passage!
“Hey! Classmate! Are you here to study at the university in Beijing? Come with your big brother….!”
“Warm reminder, all new students of Beijing do not believe in the unlicensed taxis outside the train station….”
“Handsome boy, need a place to stay? One gold coin per night! We have girls oh~~~”
As soon as Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, Chicken and others walked out of the train station, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Looking out, there were crowded people outside the station, along the street were all stall vendors, taxis soliciting business, and throngs of people.
Yao Zhixue was still holding Nannan, and subconsciously said, “Why are there so many people?”
Yang Liuying, who was at the side, explained: “This is just Xihua City, a satellite city of Beijing. The majority of people here are ordinary people, with a population in the millions.”
“Geographically, it is located at the edge of the West Mountain, Flying Swallow Mountain, Nine Python Mountain, and other mountains. There are also quite a few space rifts inside. Occasionally, quite a few beasts and demons rush out, thus the management here is quite chaotic.”
“You are this year’s freshmen. According to the regulations, you can directly enter Beijing’s Sea Ding District with the admission notice…”
Zheng Cheng said: “We just wanted to see the situation in the wild with our own eyes, that’s why we chose to travel by train.”
