Midnight arrived, and the yellow lights on both sides of the road shone brightly. The empty road was extremely lonely. The cold wind whistled past, adding some other flavors. It began to look a little cold, and the shadows of the trees became a little sinister and ferocious under the lights.
"Is this the place?"
An indifferent voice suddenly sounded. A young man wearing a white shirt and jeans, holding a burning cigarette in his hand and smoking, slowly walked on the road, his eyes indifferent as he looked around.
"The yellow lights are shining brightly on the road at night. It's like walking on the road to hell, especially after midnight. Sigh!"
The young man said. It was unknown whether he was talking to himself or to someone else.
This young man was called Zhang Fan, and he was 22 years old this year. He had two parents and a younger sister at home, and his family's situation wasn't very good. Children from poor families usually matured early, and he was no exception. Therefore, he had learned a lot early on and was quite serious in his studies. He had gotten into the province's first-tier university during his college entrance examination. According to the normal trajectory of a person, he would have joined the vast army of employees after graduating from university in four years.
However, an accident happened, and his life took a different path.
The accident happened when he was about to graduate from university. After he set up a stall in school to sell his useful things to his juniors, he also took a look around and saw a very retro token with unreadable words. He was interested and bought it.
After buying it, he naturally played with it for a while. Then, he saw that there was a small hole on the token that seemed to be specially made for fingers. He put his hand in with the intention of having fun. In the end, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his finger and hurriedly retracted it. His finger had already been cut and was bleeding a lot.
At that time, Zhang Fan was so angry that he wanted to throw the token to the side. However, something shocking happened. The token emitted a red light and floated in the air. Before he could react, it flew towards him and he fainted.
When he woke up, he knew a lot of things.
It turned out that the word on the token was the word 'netherworld'. This was the official token of the netherworld. He had become a messenger of death from a mortal. The messenger of death of the authentic netherworld was a ghost god recognized by heaven and earth.
However, although he was a ghost, he was the most unorthodox ghost. If he were to use the position of the world, he would probably be a police officer. Although he was a scumbag, he was the only messenger of death in the world. Moreover, he could deal with ordinary malicious ghosts. He was very powerful in the past.
As for why he was the only ghost in this world, he did not know. He only knew that the information in his mind was that all the gods, devils, and Buddhas had disappeared.
The token in his mind didn't give him an answer.
He only knew that he was the only person in the world who had the Divine Concept of Ghost and God. If he wanted to be stronger, he could be promoted by accumulating a certain amount of merit and completing the missions issued by the token. As long as he had enough merit, it would not be a problem for him to become the Son of Heaven Yin who ruled the Nether World or the Jade Emperor who ruled the Three Realms. The prerequisite was that he had merit.
Which person didn't want to be above others? Who didn't have ambitions? Especially for Zhang Fan, who knew the hardships of life, he had this dream.
Therefore, he was full of enthusiasm. He wanted to accumulate merit points and get promoted by doing good deeds. However, after a week of doing good deeds, he realized that this was not feasible because he earned very little by doing good deeds. Perhaps his ability was too small. After all, if he was poor, he would be good to himself. If he was successful, he would be good to the world. He did not have so much money to donate to the Hope Project. It was not a high official who could benefit millions of people with a word.
Therefore, if he wanted to get promoted by doing good deeds, he should just wash up and sleep. If he continued doing this, it would take at least 10 years for him to be promoted from a ghost officer to a ghost soldier. He could not afford to wait.
Since it was not possible to earn merit points by doing good deeds, he could only obtain merit points by completing the mission of the token and then get promoted.
The mission to collect the card was very simple. It was to capture ghosts and send them to the 18th floor of hell.
The first time he did a mission, he was still very nervous. After all, he was still an ordinary person and had not gone through any experience.
However, after the first time, there would be a second time, a third time, and as the number of times increased, he gradually got used to it. Occasionally, he would be shocked, but it did not affect him at all when he fought with malicious ghosts.
In just a month, he had captured more than 100 ghosts, and more than 10 of them had committed such heinous crimes that even the 18 levels of hell could not contain them. They were directly destroyed by him.
His clergy had also been upgraded from a ghost officer to a ghost soldier, and his strength had increased by another level. Other than dealing with vicious ghosts with great resentment and malicious ghosts that had cultivated for more than a few decades, he could easily deal with some evil creatures.
In the process of catching ghosts, Zhang Fan also discovered that ghosts really existed in the world. Then, zombies, Taoist masters, and other dirty things must also exist. He just hadn't encountered them. Even if he had encountered them in the past, he probably didn't know.
As his strength increased, Zhang Fan was no longer a rookie who did not know anything. The most intuitive feeling was that he realized that the world had suddenly become a little unstable. At the very least, it was not as good as before.
In the past, supernatural incidents were all groundless accusations. Now, supernatural incidents were causing a stir. There was even a supernatural video that was on the news. Although it was quickly deleted, it still caused a huge commotion.
In the video, seven people were laughing and talking as they walked on a bright yellow road. However, halfway through, they seemed to have seen something and ran away in panic. It was as if something was chasing them. A few seconds later, the seven people were inexplicably and cruelly killed. Their corpses were separated as if they were torn apart. It was very terrifying.
Especially the last one who had died tragically, dragging half of his bloody body and crawling towards the video with difficulty. He stretched out his hand as if he was asking for help from the people watching the video.
Many people were frightened by the ferocious head that was covered in blood. They trembled when they saw it.
It was better to believe it than not.
In the past, even at midnight, there were still people walking by the roadside in the big city. Now, there was basically no one to be seen after 11 pm.
Zhang Fan had also seen the video. He could tell at a glance that these people had been killed by malicious ghosts, so he came here today to get rid of them.
