I become a god in another world

Chapter 322 Horrible Memories

Chapter 322

One thousand merit points were deducted.

In a flash of blood, the ghostly figures of the Zhao couple appeared, carrying ghost door panels on their backs. With gloomy faces, they walked towards a door panel each and stood guard outside the door.

When Zhao Fusheng saw the door god's mark, he felt relieved and shouted in a low voice near the crack of the door.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was dead silence outside the house.

There was a long silence.

The five people from the Demon Suppression Division held their breath and concentrated.

In this cold and eerie ghost village, this moment of waiting seemed long and torturous.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when Zhang Chuanshi was about to have auditory hallucinations due to extreme fear, the knocking sound appeared again.

This time the knocking seemed a little forceful and urgent, and there was a faint smell of blood.

'Bang bang bang! '

There was another crash.

A red light shone brightly on the door panel, and the Zhao couple guarded the door, keeping all evil spirits and negative energy out.

Zhao Fusheng's heart was beating so fast that he asked again:
"Who's at the door?"

As soon as she asked this question, she felt as if struck by lightning, and an incredible idea came into her mind.

Zhao Fusheng widened his eyes, his lips slightly parted unconsciously, and he turned his head to look at Liu Yizhen on the other side of the door.

At this moment, Meng Po, Zhang Chuanshi and Kuai Manzhou also came to their senses.

"It's us?"

Liu Yizhen spoke with difficulty, his face full of disbelief.

Everyone recalled the scene outside the house before.

At that time, Zhao Fusheng knocked on the door like a ghost, but the door did not open twice. Every time he knocked on the door, there were questions in the room, and the questions asked were consistent with the two questions Zhao Fusheng asked at this time.

This could not help but make the five people from the Demon Suppression Division suspicious.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from outside the door:
"I am Zhao Fusheng, the commander of the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Division. I heard that there was a ghost case in Shilipo..."

The voice was shrill and distorted, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, but when everyone heard the content of the words, their faces changed.

"How to do?"

Liu Yizhen turned to look at Zhao Fusheng.

The ghost village in Shilipo is too eerie.

When the group was outside the house, they saw light coming from the house and heard an echo when they knocked on the door. They thought they were being chased by a ghost, so they knocked on the door in panic and entered the house. However, after entering the house to hide, they encountered another strange knock on the door.

What is most frightening is that the knocking on the door outside the house is most likely from the five people from the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Was it because time was reset, or was it because the inside and outside of the house belonged to different time and space, so the same five people met the same group of "themselves" at the same time in different places -

It was still the ghost dream that was at work. The scene was reset, just like the death of Sun Sanniang and Luo Liu. Zhao Fusheng and his party had encountered an accident in the ghost dream, which led to the "resurrection" of five people, so another team of people from the Demon Suppression Division appeared.

……

Everyone was in a state of confusion. Even the oldest lady, Meng Po, lost her usual smiling expression and looked at Zhao Fusheng, waiting for her to make a decision.

The 'person' outside the house has revealed his identity.

Several people had escaped from the encirclement of the Wild Temple before, and everyone knew very well what the five people from the Demon Suppression Division outside the house would encounter next.

Is this door open or not?

If the door is opened, is it a person or a ghost? If it is a person, it's fine. If it is a ghost, a big fight is inevitable after the door is opened;
But if the door is not opened, it means that Zhao Fusheng and others outside the house cannot enter the house and will face the headless clay statue that has revived in the wild temple.

"grown ups--"

Meng Po looked at Zhao Fusheng, waiting for her to make a decision.

"let's go!"

After much thought, Zhao Fusheng decided to leave the house temporarily.

"Leave?" Liu Yizhen frowned:

"Where to go?"

If you want to leave, does it mean you have to open the door and go out? Once you open the door, will you meet the "self" outside the house? What will happen then?

All kinds of questions came to his mind.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"We are not going out, but leaving here." She explained patiently:

"Let's not meet the 'people' outside the house for now. Let's avoid this situation and go deeper."

"Deeper?" When Liu Yizhen heard this, he vaguely understood Zhao Fusheng's thoughts:

"You mean, dreams?"

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded slightly.

After Qiao Yuesheng's evil spirit was resurrected, as it grew, the evil spirit's dreams became strange and full of dangers.

Every time you delve deeper into the ghost dream, it is equivalent to following the traces of the ghost dream to find out about Qiao Yuesheng's life.

While searching for clues and getting closer to the truth, it also means getting closer and closer to danger - this is a process of actively approaching evil spirits.

Liu Yizhen sighed:

"Fusheng, are you sure?"

"Have."

Zhao Fusheng nodded heavily. When Zhang Chuanshi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up like two little suns:
"Your Excellency is wise—"

Before he finished his flattering words, Zhao Fusheng said:

"I'm 50% sure I can solve this case. Do you dare to follow me?"

"Fifty percent?!" Zhang Chuanshi's smile froze.
"Isn't that a 50-50 chance of life and 50-50 chance of death?"

Liu Yizhen and Meng Po were delighted:
"Fifty percent? There's a 50% chance of survival?"

Kuai Manzhou said nothing on Tuesday, but stood next to Zhao Fusheng to make his attitude clear.

"Since there is a 50% chance, why didn't you tell me earlier? Which way are you going?"

Liu Yizhen no longer hesitated and asked while leading the horse.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly:
"Go inside and find the lamp."

After the fight with the clay statues in the wild temple at Lijiaao and then being sent into a deeper level of the ghost dream, the group saw the lights here and followed them to come here.

After entering the house, due to time constraints, I didn't have time to search the house or find the source of the light.

Now is the perfect opportunity to find this lamp.

"I speculate that if someone like us enters a ghost dream and is lucky enough not to die, he or she will be attracted by the 'bait' of the evil spirit and actively come to the ghost."

The original wild temple, and later Sun Sanniang, Luo Liu, and Lijiaao, were all "baits" released by evil spirits to lure people into the trap.

This does not mean that ghosts have reason, but that the laws of evil spirits attack the weaknesses in human nature.

Zhao Fusheng and his party came here to look for ghosts, so everything they experienced was closely related to the ghost case.

If it were Yang Guiying, the ghost dream she experienced before her death would probably be the fear of being betrayed by her mother-in-law and husband.

In other words, evil spirits kill people by attacking their hearts, and everyone is trapped by their own thoughts.

……

"Now that we have found the lamp, will we enter a deeper ghost dream?" Meng Po asked with some confusion.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"I'm not sure."

She said:
"Suppose we are trapped in a nightmare, and everything goes into a loop." From the moment they entered the village and knocked on the door of the house, it is possible that the five people at this time may not be the first five to arrive. Perhaps Zhao Fusheng and others in the house have arrived first, and there are countless more Zhao Fushengs who will arrive later.

"But according to our experience, we were blocked when we knocked on the door, and then the evil spirit revived and opened the door to enter the house, but we didn't see 'ourselves' when we entered the house." She paused:
"That is to say, regardless of whether the people in the room were 'us' before we entered the room, the people in the room had already left."

If you don't walk out, there will be two outcomes: one is death; the other is entering a deeper nightmare and not being in the same time and space as everyone else.

Meng Po seemed to understand, but she trusted Zhao Fusheng very much, so she nodded when she heard it:

"Then let's go inside."

"go!"

Zhao Fusheng nodded and pulled Kuai Manzhou to walk in front.

The group walked into the house cautiously, just like before, with Zhao Fusheng and the little girl leading the way, Liu Yizhen and Zhang Chuanshi walking in the middle, and Meng Po following behind.

This wing room is the largest in the village and appears to have several entrances.

The place where the few people were previously located was in the outer hall, with a screen in the middle, and the light coming from the hall.

When everyone walked around the screen and entered the room, the knocking sound outside disappeared completely.

What came into view of the five people was an unusually spacious room.

The house was cleaned very neatly, with more than a dozen long, low tables placed inside, and two straw mats behind each table.

In the middle of the lobby is a long table, on which are placed the four treasures of the study and a brand new copper candlestick.

There was a candle on the candlestick, as thick as a child's wrist. The fire that everyone saw before was emitted when the candle was lit.

Other than that, the house was empty.

"This is indeed a clan school."

Liu Yizhen sighed.

As soon as he finished sighing, the candlelight in the hall, which had been constant and steady, suddenly flickered.

Zhao Fusheng's eyebrows jumped:
"Not good." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the woman's wailing.

"what--"

The scream was like a bloody wail.

'Pfft. '

There was a sudden flicker of candlelight, and then the color of the flame changed.

From the previous bright yellow, the surrounding of the flame instantly turned into turquoise.

The temperature in the lobby dropped immediately.

What was most disturbing was the color of the candle itself.

The burnt candle oil was originally clear and transparent, flowing down the candle.

But the newly melted wax turned from white to red, becoming the same color as blood, and flowed down the candlestick.

"Godmother - let me go, godmother, I miss my parents -"

The sharp and shrill cries of a woman reached everyone's ears. As she cried, the flame of the candle grew bigger and bigger, and blood-red liquid kept flowing down from the tall candlestick, instantly staining the entire copper candlestick with a layer of bright red.

As the flames grew larger, the temperature around them dropped suddenly.

A thin mist began to cover the air, and the girl's helpless cry still lingered in everyone's ears:

"Mother, mother - mother, mother, save me -"

As soon as she shouted, Meng Po, who had been trying to remain calm, suddenly changed her expression.

Meng Po couldn't help but want to take a step forward, but Zhao Fusheng stopped her as she moved forward:
"Don't move yet."

Meng Po said anxiously:

"My Lord, it may be—"

"It's fake." Zhao Fusheng looked at her steadily and said in a gentle voice:
"Meng Po, your daughter's disappearance happened in the past—"

This is a ghost dream that attacks people's hearts.

Yang Guiying mentioned that the clan school in this village was originally used to educate the children in Shilipu, but after Qiao Yuesheng disappeared, the clan school gradually became a special "market" for some shady transactions.

Before the incident in Lijiaao, Li Ganniang abducted a young girl in Jiumen Village and sent her to the clan school. Afterwards, the girl died tragically that night along with a family surnamed Cao.

Perhaps the scream that everyone heard at this moment was the girl's wail after she learned that she had been abducted.

The girl's life has been wiped out from the world, but the ghost dream has recorded this memory and stored it in the laws of evil spirits.

"Sir, I understand."

Meng Po's tears flowed, and she suddenly burst into tears:
"But when I think of my Yishu, she might have cried like this girl, and I wasn't by her side—"

At that time, Meng Po's knot had already formed.

Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was trying to stop her dropped.

Meng Po stepped forward without hesitation.

The female voice in the house shouted again:
"Mom, help me."

"mother--"

Every time the woman shouted, the candles in the hall burned more vigorously.

The flames nearly shot up into the sky, and the bright red wax flowed down the candlestick like blood, flowing across the table and dripping onto the ground.

Wherever the blood-red candle wax went, the tables and grass balls were all melted and deformed, slowly turning into blood and being washed into the bloodstream.

The terrifying evil spirit of the ghost began to run rampant.

Just when Zhao Fusheng was extremely alert, the woman's shouting suddenly stopped and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At the same time, another urgent voice sounded:
"Zhao Fusheng! Zhao Fusheng!"

Someone was calling Zhao Fusheng's name hurriedly.

Then, a piercing ringing sounded like a blast in Zhao Fusheng's mind, and a voice with a hint of pity sounded in her ears:

"Someone came to your house and said that your mother passed away—"

"Come with me quickly, or you won't be able to see her for the last time—"

This voice, like a lingering ghost, has haunted her for many years.

The shadow in Zhao Fusheng's heart was aroused, and she almost subconsciously took a step forward.

……

"Fusheng——"

Kuai Manzhou was originally holding Zhao Fusheng's hand and witnessed Meng Po losing her mind because of the woman's screams.

Not long after, someone was heard shouting "Zhao Fusheng"'s name and saying some inexplicable words.

While the remaining three were in astonishment, Zhao Fusheng, who had always behaved the most calm and composed, suddenly became a little anxious. He shook off the little girl's hand and walked behind Meng Po.

Kuai Manzhou immediately became anxious.

She was about to force Zhao Fusheng to stay, but the next moment, she heard a woman sobbing softly:

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving—"

A familiar female voice sounded in Kuai Manzhou's ears.

That voice had haunted her mind countless times in the middle of the night, making her anxious and uneasy, and afraid to stay up all night alone.

After being brought back to the Demon Suppression Division by Zhao Fusheng, she hid under anyone's bed in the division every night, sitting with her legs folded, trying to resist the memories.

At this moment, the memories that she wanted to forget began to haunt her again.

"Mom is not leaving. What does it matter whether I go to other places or not? I have Manzhou and my sisters-in-law. My sixth uncle and sixth aunt all take care of me like my own parents. I can't just leave and leave this mess behind. Let my sixth uncle and sixth aunt be criticized by others—"

"I can't let my daughter bear the stigma of her mother's adultery—"
