Chapter 279 - Not a single living person

"That's right, that's right …" Not even a minute after I was lying on the bed, I suddenly jumped up from the bed, and then started shaking Chu Yu who was lying beside me.

I suddenly thought of a very serious question. Even if we wanted to help that female ghost declare his innocence, but … At least he had to understand why this man's city had become like this.

He can't be this confused all the time just to help female ghost, what if … What female ghost said was also a lie.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that I was so anxious, Chu Yu thought that something had happened and hurriedly asked me.

Seeing me so flustered, I thought something had broken in again.

"Relax, nothing's happened right now. I just suddenly thought of a question. Should we release those hundred ghosts that we collected and ask what happened in this city, or else …" Why isn't there any popularity at all? " After seeing that Chu Yu had already been awakened by me, I hurriedly said to Chu Yu.

It was much better to know something better than to know nothing.

"That's what I thought to begin with, but... Seeing you toiling for such a long time, I was afraid that your body wouldn't be able to take it, so … I'll let you have a good rest, but in the end... "You are such a restless person." After hearing my words, Chu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said these words to me.

Originally, he was kind enough to let her rest, but in the end … His good intentions had no effect at all.

"Alright, alright, I know that you're doing this for my own good, but …" I was worried about the two of us, too, wasn't I? " I've seen it on TV and in movies. Some people or creatures become especially powerful after eating people, just in case.

Because I keep having the feeling that just by relying on a protective talisman, it shouldn't have that much power behind it.

After seeing my coquettish tone, Chu Yu finally revealed a satisfied expression.

Waving my hand, Chu Yu and I saw an older ghost appear in front of us.

"Just one?" After the corner of my mouth twitched for a long time, I asked Chu Yu.

Could it be that Chu Yu did not plan to torment a few more ghosts to come out and ask? The results of the inquiry could be slightly more detailed.

"No need, this is already the one with the most history. It shouldn't be a problem to ask about something." After hearing my question, Chu Yu said to me with great confidence.

Although... I'm especially curious in my heart, just how did Chu Yu know about this old fogey to know everything about, however … But he still suppressed the doubts in his heart and waited for Chu Yu to continue asking.

"You know your current situation, and you're not my opponent, so you should obediently answer my question. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I can send you to the reincarnation cycle, so that you don't have to wander around and be a ghost anymore." When Chu Yu and I finished talking, I suddenly turned my head, and saw that old fogey was trying to escape.

Just by waving his hand, it was as if the old ghost was grabbed by an invisible force, and directly pulled in front of Chu Yu.

"For me to be reincarnated, there is no need to be a ghost? What ability do you have to do that? " After hearing what Chu Yu said, although that old fogey's face was filled with pleasant surprise, he still managed to … But he still asked Chu Yu with worry.

He had no idea how long it had been since he had been a lonely ghost. He had never thought of reincarnating because he had died a violent death and those people who died a violent death had no chance of reincarnation.

But... The person standing in front of him now looked so young, so how could he have such an arrogant tone?

"On what basis? Just based on this. " Just as Chu Yu was speaking, I saw a red pattern gradually appear on Chu Yu's forehead, but... I really didn't understand what this red drawing was.

However … I didn't react, but that doesn't mean that this old ghost also didn't react. The old ghost only saw that after seeing the red pattern on Chu Yu's head, he directly knelt towards Chu Yu.

"If you have any questions, just ask them directly." Suddenly, the old geezer became especially respectful.

Looking at the old ghost who suddenly became so respectful, I awkwardly smiled. I wasn't used to it anymore.

"Tell me what happened in this city. Why is there no one living in this city?" Since the old ghost was kneeling on the ground, Chu Yu looked down at him and directly asked.

"This matter is a long story, but it can't be said that not a single person is left alive in this city. Actually … "There's still a living person …" After hearing Chu Yu's question, although the old geezer hesitated for a moment, he still spoke to Chu Yu word for word.

As the old ghost narrated the story bit by bit, I finally understood that these hundred ghosts have been living in this town for almost a hundred years.

It wasn't that they didn't want to leave this city, but rather … To them, this city seemed to have some sort of restriction that prevented them from leaving it.

Before this happened, it was all because of the arrival of a young man.

At that time, there was a young man who came to this city, and then... The population of the city began to dwindle in silence. At that time – the news had already reported on this matter, but – the reason had yet to be investigated.

There were those who feared that their lives would be shortened in this city, and wanted to drive the young men out of it, but those who wanted to drive them away would die the next day, and the cause of death was unknown.

It has been many years since the train arrived in this city, but … The youngster's appearance did not change at all, not even in the slightest.

Some people in the city felt that there was something wrong with this young man, but they didn't dare to drive him away and packed their luggage to leave the city.

But gradually, they discovered a very painful problem, and that was … They can't get out of the city no matter what.

This city was like a cage, trapping all of them inside.
