Chapter 302 Xiao Jing in Danger
The gate to the underworld had been open for three days, and neither Yan Qing and his companions nor the patrolling ghosts encountered any major problems. They only occasionally ran into some ghosts making trouble, but other than that, there was no other danger.
There are only a few hours left before the gates of the underworld will close. As long as we can safely get through these last few hours, this Ghost Festival will be completely over.
This was Xiao Jing's first time participating in the Ghost Festival patrol after becoming a ghost messenger. Every day he stayed in his jurisdiction to protect people's peace. He regained the feeling of being a policeman.
They are all the same, guarding people's safety in corners that people cannot see.
As long as he stands guard for the last few hours and waits for the gates of the underworld to close, his mission will be accomplished.
"There are only a few hours left, there shouldn't be any problem," Wen Chengzhou looked at the empty street, turned around and said to Xiao Jing, "You stay here for the last few hours, I'll go check other places."
Xiao Jing was a ghost messenger who had just passed the exam and was still in the probation period. He needed an experienced ghost messenger to accompany him on a big mission like the Ghost Festival. Wen Chengzhou, as the captain of the team, took on this task.
In fact, Xiao Jing could obviously feel that the captain didn't like him very much, and had previously given him the task of investigating the case of the mysterious deaths of those ghosts.
He investigated Yang Fan and found out that he had nothing to do with her. After finding some additional information, he suddenly transferred the case to another Yincha.
The reason given was that he was a ghost who was still in the probation period and could not handle the work independently, so he was only assigned the daily work of patrolling the underworld.
As a result, when the team divided the patrol range in the mortal world this time, they assigned him a remote town with few people.
In the past two days, Wen Chengzhou, as the captain and his old messenger, has been sometimes there and sometimes not. He has only just arrived.
So when Wen Chengzhou said he was leaving and leaving Xiao Jing alone here, he agreed without much hesitation, "Okay, Captain."
Wen Chengzhou looked at Xiao Jing steadily, as if trying to see any reluctance in his expression, but Xiao Jing's expression was calm, without any dissatisfaction. Soon, his figure disappeared from the spot.
After Wen Chengzhou left, Xiao Jing continued walking on the deserted street. No one went out on the night of the Ghost Festival.
"It's obvious that your captain is slacking off. The little errand boy is just pitiful."
As Xiao Jing walked, a charming figure appeared beside him. He whispered in Xiao Jing's ear, "You have such a good relationship with Station Master Yang, why don't you go talk to her and let her make you the captain~"
Xiao Jing looked straight ahead, as if he didn't hear what he said, and continued walking forward.
"Little brother~ I'm so lonely, just pay attention to me...ah!"
When Xi Jun was being naughty and not paying attention, Xiao Jing took decisive action and punched him in the face.
Xi Jun felt pained, "I am your savior after all, and I was kind enough to come to accompany you to work, but you treat me like this."
When Xiao Jing was investigating a case before, he encountered danger. Xi Jun happened to be nearby and rescued him.
From that day on, Xi Jun always referred to himself as his savior.
Xiao Jing was wary of Xi Jun who kept pestering him, and he couldn't tell whether he was a good ghost or a bad ghost.
He had inquired about Xi Jun's reputation in the underworld. Many ghosts described him as lazy, cunning and slippery. He had been in the underworld for so long that he had never worked to earn his living expenses. He just relied on his skills as a ghost general to eat and drink for free in various homes.
Those ghosts couldn't beat him, so they could only let him eat and drink for free.
If you report it to the underworld, at most you will be arrested and detained for a few days and then released. It will be of no use.
He is just a complete scoundrel!
They all said that he was a homosexual blood-sucking worm, and that anyone who got entangled with him would be sucked dry without leaving any residue. So many ghosts were very afraid of him, afraid of being entangled by him.
There are also ghosts saying that Xi Jun's cultivation level was increased by devouring souls, so every time a ghost disappears inexplicably in the underworld, he will always be the first person suspected by the ghost officials.
Wen Chengzhou and his friends now suspect that Xi Jun was responsible for the disappearance of those ghosts.
But Xiao Jing didn't quite believe it, not because he knew him so well, but if Xi Jun was really such a vicious ghost, then Yang Fan would not have let him go when he was at the Huangquan Station before.
Besides, he had saved him before, and he remembered this favor.
only--
Xiao Jing turned around and glanced at him without any emotion, "Your words are so disgusting."
Xi Jun twisted his body like a water snake, his face showing a shy expression as he strained too hard, his voice sweet and disgusting, "I was born like this~"
"..." Xiao Jing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Speak to me properly!"
Before he finished speaking, a child's cry for help was heard in the distance. Xiao Jing's face changed and he quickly ran towards the sound. Xi Jun followed him slowly, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Xiao Jing ran towards the direction of the child's call as fast as he could, but even though the voice sounded clearly not far ahead, he couldn't find it after running for a long time.
Moreover, the cries of children continued, and from the sound they seemed to be very close to him.
Xiao Jing felt something was wrong and suddenly stopped. He looked around and realized that this was the place where he and Xi Jun were just now.
He had been running in circles for so long.
Lian Xijun is missing too. Is he stuck in a maze?
Xiao Jing held the pistol tightly in his hand, concentrating and sensing his surroundings. Suddenly, he felt danger coming from behind and subconsciously dodged, but the other party attacked too quickly and he didn't have time to dodge and was knocked heavily to the ground.
Xiao Jing lay on the ground for a long time before he got up, holding his chest. His feet were a little unstable and there was a flash of panic in his eyes. He felt that his soul was showing signs of disintegration.
Oh no, we are in big trouble!
He is now at the level of an evil ghost, but the ghost that attacked him from behind actually made his soul and body unstable. This shows that the ghost is at least a ghost general or above.
Everything was fine for the past two days, and the gates of the underworld would be closed in just a few hours. How could we suddenly encounter such a big trouble?
If this happened again, he might be dead.
If he dies again after becoming a ghost, he will be really dead!
Xiao Jing held the pistol in his hand and looked around vigilantly, trying to find any trace of the ghost. His cell phone suddenly stopped working, so he couldn't call for help.
Time passed by minute by minute, and he felt nothing. No matter which way he walked, he would always return to the starting point. He was trapped here!
He was the only one here. Although the streets were still the same around him, there was no sign of human presence in the house.
At this moment, Xiao Jing felt it again. A very strong force was coming towards him from the front. Xiao Jing looked closely and his pupils shrank instantly.
A pair of large black hands like dead trees emerged from the darkness and attacked him directly in the face.
Xiao Jing wanted to escape, but he was fixed in place and unable to move.
