Chapter 132: The ability to influence even the soul (Ch 132)

Seeing Jiang Tong coming out of the building, Zhao Ruoshi went to meet him and asked nervously, “How is it? What’s the result? Death penalty? Or suspended death sentence?”
Jiang Tong: “Can you say something auspicious?”
Zhao Ruoshi hesitated for a moment, “Uh, are you lucky?”
Jiang Tong: “…Is your IQ really okay?”
Patting his chest, Jiang Tong said confidently, “Don’t worry, my negotiation skills are very high. They were completely defeated by my arguments. Isn’t the fact that I can walk out alive the best proof?”
“Is… is that so?” Zhao Ruoshi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Tong say this. After all, as long as Jiang Tong was still alive, she could continue to be responsible for Jiang Tong.
The status of a liaison officer is closely related to the extraordinary person he or she is responsible for.
Now that Jiang Tong has become the person in charge of the city, her status has naturally risen.
If Jiang Tong died, she would then have to take charge of the area, and both her status and power would be greatly weakened.
It can be said that Zhao Ruoshi does have some little thoughts of her own.
“Let’s go back to the hotel first,” Jiang Tong asked, “There shouldn’t be anything to do next, right?”
He had only two purposes for coming to the Great Emperor City. One was to attend the city leaders’ meeting, and the other was to arrive at the Law Enforcement Bureau headquarters to participate in this “Hongmen Banquet”.
Now that both goals have been achieved, there is no need for me to stay here anymore. It seems that I can directly set off back to Dahan City.
Zhao Ruoshi was just about to answer Jiang Tong’s question when her cell phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the phone and glancing at the message on it, Zhao Ruoshi said, “Ah, you may have to stay in the hotel for a while. Director Meng asked you to wait a moment, and he has something to talk to you about later.”
Jiang Tongxu narrowed his eyes, “It seems like this is a very troublesome matter… Can I pretend that I didn’t hear what you said, and then take a plane directly back to Dahan City?”
Zhao Ruoshi: “Then I will be the unlucky one. Can you consider it for me?”
Jiang Tong: “Who are you talking about?”
Zhao Ruoshi: “…”
For a moment she couldn’t even find any words to refute.
“Anyway, let’s go back to the hotel first! What if something delays your trip? Right,” Zhao Ruoshi pulled Jiang Tong and walked towards the headquarters of the Law Enforcement Bureau, “Plans can’t keep up with changes!”
Jiang Tong rolled his eyes and had no choice but to obey.
After leaving the Law Enforcement Bureau headquarters, it was no longer official business, so naturally there was no special car to take Jiang Tong back, so the two could only take a taxi on the side of the road and return to the hotel.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, a burst of noisy sounds came into Jiang Tong’s ears.
“What’s that sound?”
Zhao Ruoshi’s hearing was naturally not as good as Jiang Tong’s. She didn’t even hear the voice Jiang Tong mentioned until she walked outside the hotel lobby.
At this time, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered in the hotel lobby.
Wang Xuan, who was watching from the edge, immediately noticed Jiang Tong walking into the hotel lobby, and walked up with Su Anjie, “Brother Tong, you’re back.”
Jiang Tong pointed at the crowd of onlookers and asked, “What’s going on?”
Su Anjie’s face didn’t look good. “Someone died.”
Is someone dead?
In the Great Emperor City?
Even in this hotel full of city leaders, how could someone dare to kill someone?
Jiang Tong was immediately filled with admiration. Apart from anything else, he just looked so brave.
“Who died?” Jiang Tong was more concerned about this question. Anyway, there were not many people he knew here, so it didn’t matter to him who died.
The only thing we need to pay attention to is that Qiu Ruoyun does not die. Jiang Tong is quite interested in the longevity lock on her body.
“I don’t know him,” Wang Xuan and Su Anjie both shook their heads, “It seems that the person who died was an employee of the hotel.”
No, are these people so bored that they even kill hotel employees?
Is there any humanity at all?
Jiang Tong sighed silently, “That can be said to be very unfortunate, so who killed him?”
Wang Xuan and Su Anjie looked at each other, unable to make sense for a moment.
“We don’t know who killed him, that’s the problem.”
A familiar voice came over, and Xu Kai walked out of the crowd and came to Jiang Tong. “The cause of death is a mystery. None of us even noticed it. This group of people suddenly died here. It’s very strange.”
“This group of people? A lot of them died?”
Jiang Tong looked past the huge crowd of onlookers and, as expected, saw several bodies wrapped in body bags in the lobby.
“It’s not just this problem,” Xu Kai’s eyes flashed with a trace of fear of the unknown, “After these people died, they even started to move, just like the zombies in movies and TV shows!”
Jiang Tong: “…”
Then I think I know who did it.
As if noticing the change in Jiang Tong’s demeanor, Xu Kai glanced at him and asked, “Why? Do you know something?”
Jiang Tong shook his head calmly, “I know nothing. I have been at the Law Enforcement Bureau headquarters since the meeting. How could I possibly know what happened here?”
“Is that so…” Xu Kai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, the inexplicable deaths of this group of people and their post-death conditions even made Xu Kai, the city’s head, feel a little frightened.
The power of ancient beings would be really frightening if we didn’t know their existence and abilities in advance.
Jiang Tong didn’t stay here for too long and took Zhao Ruoshi back to his room.
As soon as he returned to his room, Jiang Tong activated his Eyes of Mourner’s ability.
Ding Lecheng’s ghost slowly emerged in his sight. He raised his eyes slightly and met Jiang Tong’s gaze. “What’s the matter?”
Jiang Tong asked straight to the point: “What happened in the hotel just now?”
Ding Lecheng shrugged. “You can see the souls of the dead, right? Logically speaking, wouldn’t it be easier for you to just ask those who are already dead?”
His eyes moved slightly, and Jiang Tong frowned, “It’s too late for you to say this.”
Feeling somewhat confused, Ding Lecheng looked in the direction Jiang Tong was looking.
In the hotel, there are several other ghosts wandering around.
These dead souls are the staff members who died suddenly in the hotel.
At this time, these ghosts were covered with a large amount of black gas.
As if its soul was polluted, it crawled aimlessly on the ground in an ugly and hideous posture.
The black gas corroded the souls of the dead. Some of them were left with only half of their bodies, crawling with difficulty relying on their arms.
A large number of organs remained in the air and were dragged on the floor, which looked disgusting.
“The ability to even affect the soul…” Ding Lecheng’s face changed drastically. This was an extremely terrifying power for him.
“Is this the ability of the ancient existence called the Resurrection Corpse?”
