Chapter 20: Let Me Use Your Eyes (3)
Not long after Jiang Xia saw the Metropolitan Police Department on the opposite.
After submitting relevant materials, Jiang Xia did not return to the office immediately.
He was afraid of disturbing Amuro Toru’s plans.
So Jiang Xia went for a walk around the neighbourhood, planning to leave enough time for Toru Amuro to make several phone calls.
***
Somewhere on the way, the child ghost who had been lying on his shoulder suddenly sat up straight and poked at him excitedly.
Jiang Xia was startled, followed its pointing, and saw an old building that was quite old.
Take a closer look, and the painted sign at the door reads – Medieval Art Exhibition Hall.
… a museum?
Jiang Xia: “…” This kind of place was indeed a place with a high rate of cases in the anime.
And judging from the child ghost’s reaction, the case in the exhibition hall was probably still in progress. There must be a murderous aura or ghosts inside, so it was worth a visit.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia rubbed the head of the child ghost who reported the information and was a little moved.
After putting on the detective buff, life really became easier.
It was not in vain for him to run around for so long.
Soon, Jiang Xia turned his feet and walked towards the museum as if nothing had happened, like an ordinary tourist who wanted to increase his literary knowledge on a whim.
***
The museum was on the verge of closing down, and there were very few tourists.
Jiang Xia knocked on the window of the ticket office, awakening the conductor who was secretly looking in the mirror, bought a ticket, and entered through the door.
He stopped on the first floor and looked at the layout of the exhibition hall.
Then followed the direction provided by the child ghost and walked to the place where the target was.
***
The first floor of the exhibition hall was divided into several large areas – the sky exhibition hall, the ocean exhibition hall, the land exhibition hall…
There was also a “hell exhibition hall”.
Jiang Xia recalled the layout plan, walked through the empty corridor, and came to the gate of the “Hell Exhibition Hall”.
***
Unlike several other exhibition halls, in the hell exhibition hall, the lights were not turned on.
Near the door, you could barely see through the lights in the corridor. Further inside, it became pitch black.
Jiang Xia: “…” No matter how “hell” was used as the theme, it shouldn’t be so dark that the lights won’t even be turned on—suspicious, very suspicious.
…In other words, there really were ghosts here.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia’s eyes lit up indistinctly, and he walked into the exhibition hall expectantly.
***
It was very dark in the exhibition hall of Hell, and Jiang Xia didn’t bring a flashlight. But that’s not necessary either.
——He let the child ghost float in front of his eyes, and lightly touched his eyes.
In the next second, in Jiang Xia’s eyes, the dark exhibition hall suddenly became clear.
——He borrowed the night vision ability of the child ghost.
***
In the world of psychics, the child ghost was considered the most precious treasure. After signing the contract, they could help the psychic in many ways.
For example, borrowing eyesight just now.
In addition to transferring the night vision ability of the child ghost to himself.
In fact, Jiang Xia could also do the opposite – transfer his vision to the ghost.
Then he could drive a ghost that is good at stealth, drift to various dangerous places, and spy on the information.
Similarly, hearing, smell, taste, power… could all be handed over.
However, the latter needed to be used with caution.
Because in the early stage, this type of skill had an obvious flaw.
——After transferring the vision and hearing of the psychic to the ghost. The main body would lose the corresponding ability.
In the later stage, the ghosts in possession would gradually upgrade, and these problems won’t bother him anymore.
***
For Jiang Xia at present, the most important thing was to solve the problem of food and clothing for him and the ghost.
There was still a long way to go to upgrade the child ghost.
But fortunately, as a psychic who hadn’t touched a ghost for more than a year, Jiang Xia’s mentality was very peaceful at this time.
——He already had a ghost.
Was it still that far from giving ghosts a chance to upgrade?
Moreover, this world was relatively peaceful, even if there were only the most basic level ghosts, it was barely enough.
The situation was much better than when I first came here a year ago.
A qualified psychic must learn to be content. Then grow up quietly, picking up all the ghosts out there…
