Chapter 240: Ghost Hunting
() To be honest, you really can't give an accurate answer to the question of whether or not you don't believe that there are ghosts in the world.
Because first of all, you have to confirm what the definition of ghost is, in the original world of Xia Feng, aside from some very skinny nouns such as small smart ghosts, flowery ghosts, dead ghosts, etc., ghosts generally refer to ghosts that people become after death.
In other words, there are no ghosts in the world, and since there are people, there are ghosts in the world.
There is also a saying that it is a ghost, or a ghost.
If you want to find out the exact definition, then Xia Feng doesn't know, probably referring to some phenomena that cannot be expected by the folk, as well as unknown existence in the spiritual world.
Of course, the vast majority of people have not seen it with their own eyes, they basically listen to what others say, and the authenticity cannot be verified at all, not because they don't believe in other people's words, but the content of the words is really hard to believe, which has nothing to do with how intimate the relationship is.
There is only a result without a process, or there is no relevant theory to support the result, for example, if a person says that he has seen a ghost, if you ask him what a ghost is, he may not be able to answer.
He didn't even know what a ghost was, so how could he be sure that what he saw was a ghost?
Just like the strange story of this street, the residents of the entire street seem to have acquiesced to the fact that it is haunted, but no one has come to the conclusion that it has been more than a year, and no one can explain what a white ghost is.
Therefore, Xia Feng must break this kind of fancy superstition and rumors today, and use science to prove that ghosts do not exist.
Of course, there may be two conclusions to this matter.
First, there is no such thing as a ghost, and it is a real rumor, because the hypothesis that is circulating on the street for some purpose may be to make children sleep honestly at night, or to deter thieves who are ready to steal at night.
Second, the phenomenon of "haunting" can really happen.
If it is the second type, then Xia Feng has to think about a problem.
First of all, what the inhabitants of this world call ghosts is definitely not a ghost race, as a native of the Terra world, it is too funny that he can't even distinguish between ghosts and ghosts, he doesn't think he will catch a green-haired one-horned female ghost who is 1.8 meters tall and passes by on a battery car.
So if it's the second case, then there's really something that can't be explained, or something that the current science of this world can't explain.
............
11:50 p.m.
The Ghost Catcher Team is ready to go.
Xia Feng put on a red scarf, held a mop in his left hand, and held two heads of garlic in his right hand.
Ifrit was even more simple and rude, and directly took the kitchen knife in the kitchen in her hand, looking at the posture, she did not plan to catch ghosts, but to kill ghosts.
Only the turtle turtle is more compliant, holding an insect trap net in his hand.
Xia Feng held the garlic and waved the mop in his other hand.
"Let's go!"
The three sneaky figures took advantage of the darkness to cross the courtyard and came to the side of the store near the street of the Black Feather headquarters.
Worried that it would disturb the so-called ghosts, Xia Feng did not turn on the lights, and the three of them quietly came to the door, watching nervously the changes in the distant street through the glass door.
At this point in time, all the residents turned off the lights, and there was no moonlight tonight, and the whole street could be described as not being able to see five fingers.
Ifrit said, holding the kitchen knife.
"No, it's too dark to see anything."
Xia Feng opened his eyes wide and replied helplessly.
"No way, we're in ambush, we can't take a torch and tell the ghost that we're waiting for you here."
The turtle pouted.
"Big windmill, even if there is no light, we may be exposed, even can see clearly, just like Sister Vina, maybe the ghost has touched our back by now."
"No way, the ghost isn't that smart."
Saying this, Xia Feng still subconsciously glanced behind him.
It didn't matter, he saw a dark figure close to him, and he didn't make a sound, as if it had existed for a long, long time.
"Holy!"
The mop in Xia Feng's hand smashed down instantly, and when he heard the movement, Ivlit's kitchen knife instinctively slashed behind him.
"Smack, smack."
The mop and kitchen knife came to an abrupt halt in mid-air, and two large thick hands held their hands on each other.
Ace's deep voice came.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
Seeing that it turned out to be Big Brother Ace, Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big Brother Ace, why are you here?"
"I saw a few of you ghosts running out of the reverence, so I came over to see, what are you going to do, catch fireflies?"
"We're going to catch ghosts."
“........”
With Big Brother Ace by his side this time, Xia Feng suddenly felt very stable, in fact, to be honest, his fear only came from subconscious instinct, not from the threat to his life, and he was no longer the powerless ordinary person he was at the beginning.
"Click!"
The lock of the glass door was opened by Ace, and sure enough, he still couldn't see clearly in the house, so Xia Feng decided to go outside and hide behind Ifrit's barbecue stove and wait for the ghost to appear.
In the dark streets, four pairs of eyes dripping and turning behind the oven, if a passer-by passes by at this time, there may be a new haunting talk the next day, but as if some kind of tacit agreement has been reached, the streets at this time are like dead streets without the breath of life.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was about to be 12 o'clock in the night, in order to ease the oppressive and tense atmosphere, Xia Feng whispered to Brother Ace.
"Brother ace, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Big Brother Ace is like a special soldier who has entered the detection mode, and his sharp eyes are scanning every corner of the block while returning to Xia Feng.
"I am in awe of ghosts, but I am not afraid of them."
"It's also huh."
"Fear is a biological instinct, but fear can't help survive, so the first skill I learned in the special forces when I was young was to overcome fear."
Xia Feng knew what Big Brother Ace said about overcoming fear, this is not something that can be done with will and courage, this is the ability to control emotions independently through rigorous training.
Just like when he was in Mandel City, he almost peed his pants because he saw the statue in the shadows, but Ace and Kate calmly protected themselves in the face of unexpected situations.
Although he has grown up now, he still can't completely restrain his fears, just like when he entered the sea of fire to save Ifrit, he wanted to save the little fire dragon, and at the same time, he was also very afraid of death, and the reason that supported him to enter the sea of fire with fear may only be because of the stupid middle two disease.
The streets were still a little cool at night, and the summer breeze tightened the scarf, looking at the time on the bracelet, it was already 12 o'clock in the night.
Squinting his eyes, Xia Feng cheered up his spirits.
"Attention units, it may be coming."
Hearing Xia Feng's words, Ifrit immediately stood up with a kitchen knife, and then was pressed down by Xia Feng again.
"Why are you standing up?"
"Didn't you say it was going to appear, I'll go ahead and don't let the ghost escape."
"Get your head up, squat here and stay with us."
"Cut."
