Shen Yi glanced at it.
The evil ghost that started to scare people was a servant girl who had died of illness. She was very young and had a servant she liked. Although she was unwilling, it should not be considered a huge grudge.
If he really had to say something, it would be that the time of her death happened to be late at night.
Just as Clove said, the probability of evil ghosts being born kept increasing.
However, Shen Yi's expression did not change much.
Even if everyone would turn into an evil ghost after death, based on the current situation, it was not something serious that could not be solved.
After all, newly born ghosts were very weak. As long as they were discovered in time, even an ordinary Ghost Rider could easily get rid of them.
Even in an ordinary modern society with billions of people around the world, the number of deaths per day was less than 200,000. According to the calculation of one person 'purifying' five people per day, forty to fifty thousand Ghost Riders would be enough to solve the problem. If there were a hundred to two hundred thousand Ghost Riders, as long as humans did not seek death and start a war, the end of the world would not happen.
Not to mention, the population of this ancient society was far inferior to modern society. After productivity and medical standards improved, the number of deaths would be greatly reduced.
If not for the fact that he could not see the future and could not determine the trend of evil ghosts, Shen Yi felt that he could wait until the development of the three Universal Civilizations was on the right track, prepare a hundred thousand Ghost Rider scrolls, and leave behind an artificial intelligence to supervise.
Just as Shen Yi was thinking …
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
Something's happening!
It was not the female ghost that Cui Ren went to deal with but another ghost that was newly born in Yi State City.
It was a scholar.
A poor scholar named Lu Yan.
His family could barely be considered rich, but he greedily wanted to nurture a scholar. In order to pay for his studies, he even sold the land that his ancestors had accumulated for three generations. However, although he was hardworking, he was not the type to study. After paying such a huge price, he could not become a talent at all.
This time, he sold the last bit of land in his family and failed to get into the Immortal Bestow Academy. After returning, he fell ill and died.
He could be considered the one with the strongest resentment among the seven ghosts that were born today.
However …!
Under Shen Yi's gaze, the ghostly creature was just about to frighten others and absorb their blood qi when suddenly, wisps of black mist emerged from the ground.
This black fog directly turned into chains, binding this evil spirit, and then pulled it underground, disappearing in an instant.
The entire process did not alarm anyone.
If not for Shen Yi's constant attention, it would have been difficult to discover.
"Sure enough, there is a problem." Shen Yi furrowed his brows, and the magic halo in his eyes flourished. He wanted to take a closer look, but the thickness of the earth blocked his vision.
Ghosts were formless and intangible, so they could see the ground as nothing, but he couldn't.
After just a few hundred meters, he could no longer see any further.
"Captain, did you find anything?" Clove kept looking at Shen Yi.
"That's right," Shen Yi nodded solemnly and told Clove what he saw.
"Underground, so it's underground." Clove did not expect such a situation, but he had a sudden realization. "Underground is indeed our blind spot. The firefly detector can't detect the situation underground."
"I can't see too deeply either, but I'm sure of one thing." Shen Yi paused, and then said in a more serious tone, "The black fog that took the scholar away just now was the power of a ghost."
"In other words, there is a ghost hiding underground, and secretly bringing new ghosts underground?" Clove quickly deduced the general situation.
"I'm afraid that's the case. From the beginning to the end, the ghost did not appear. Instead, it directly used Yin Qi to form chains, dragging the ghost down and immediately escaping … To be able to do this, its intelligence is not low, and its strength is not low either." Shen Yi's furrowed brows had relaxed.
He was not afraid of the problem being difficult, but he was afraid that he could not even find the problem.
However, this situation was indeed unexpected.
This ghost's actions were clearly to hide and strengthen itself from his sight. If Clove had not realized the problem with the data, he did not know how long this underground ghost would have to hide.
"Captain, what should we do next?" Clove looked at Shen Yi, still pursing her lips.
This was her gesture of shame.
After all, although Shen Yi had discovered the reason for the decrease in the number of evil ghosts, she could not help at all.
The ghost could freely travel underground, but she could not.
"No hurry, let me think," Shen Yi said.
He really needed to think about this matter carefully.
At this moment.
The scholar evil ghost, who was chained, was dragged down thousands of meters, and it was still going down, until it reached a depth of ten thousand meters, then eleven thousand meters, thirteen thousand meters … This was a depth that modern society could not reach.
In the end, it stopped at a depth of eighteen thousand meters.
If it went down another seventeen thousand meters, it would reach the magma layer. Even here, the temperature had exceeded three hundred degrees Celsius, and no plant or animal could survive in such a temperature.
But at this moment.
This place was supposed to be a forbidden zone for life, but it was shrouded in a large cloud of black fog.
The evil ghost of the scholar was dragged into the black fog by the chain, and turned into a burly man in armor.
And here, the black fog turned into the base of the platform, the pillars, the wall, and the roof.
Although there was no color at all, and it was all pitch black, it was a palace!
The edges and corners were clear, and the pillars were carved with the pattern of a crouching dragon. On the left and right sides, evil ghosts surrounded by black fog stood, and it was obvious that their strength was not low. Looking again, there were more than ten groups of ghosts that had not yet formed, floating in front of the palace.
The armored ghost general threw the scholar in his hand forward and half-knelt down respectfully.
"Your Majesty, this is the last one for tonight."
"Good, thank you for your hard work, General Luo." The one on the platform was wearing a black dragon robe, and his face was surrounded by black fog, making it impossible to see his face clearly. Although his tone was calm, it was cold. If a living person heard it, they would probably tremble all over.
And this person stretched out his palm.
It was just a light grab.
Large amounts of black fog from the surrounding palaces surged over, and all of it entered the bodies of the dozen or so ghosts that had just formed under the platform.
In an instant, the auras of the dozen or so new ghosts kept churning, and they kept howling. Their ghostly wails and howls reverberated through the 18,000 meters underground, but the ghosts on the stage and the surrounding ghosts didn't react at all.
It was as if they were used to this scene.
The howling lasted for an hour.
Then it slowly stopped.
Those who were just a few new ghosts not long ago were now in a real state, showing the appearance of a scholar, an old man, a maid, and even a child.
It was just that their eyes were filled with madness.
