I become a god in another world

Chapter 355 Shaochun Investigates the Case
Chapter 355

When Wu Shaochun heard this, his eyes lit up.

"It's a ghost case." He said with certainty:
"It's a ghost case without a doubt."

According to past rules, Captain Fang was worried that he would be scolded for coming here, and he was also afraid that the Demon Suppression Division would push the case to the government office.

Hearing Wu Shaochun's words at this time, the huge stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

He thought for a while:

"My Lord mentioned the bad smell earlier, and said that the wine stinks, and now I remember something."

"What's the matter?" Magistrate Pang heard this and asked anxiously:

"Ghost cases involve life and death, so you should try to tell the story in detail."

Captain Fang responded repeatedly, saying flatteringly:

"I didn't think of it before. I was negligent. I deserve to be beaten."

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice in the face.

Under the light, two red palm prints quickly appeared on his cheeks.

Wu Shaochun said:

"It's not too late to tell me now. What did you find?"

Captain Fang was relieved when he didn't see him scolding him. He didn't care about the burning pain on his face and said:
"I smelled a foul odor as soon as I entered the He family's yard."

The smell is hard to describe. It's a mixture of feces, sweat, body odor, and the smell of sour food.

"There were a lot of pickled vegetables in the yard, and they stunk too." Captain Fang didn't react at first, until he entered the houses where the skeletons were found to investigate the case. "As soon as I entered the door, the smell was so bad that it stung my eyes. Tears streamed down my face."

If you think about it carefully, there is also a very disgusting smell of alcohol in these stench.

"Master Wu described it very well. It's like a drunk and gluttonous person burping at me - ugh -"

As he spoke, he retched.

After coming out of the He family's yard, he felt that he smelled bad, as if he was stuck with something dirty. His hair was also greasy, as if it had not been washed for several years and the grease had solidified into a mass.

There might be lice crawling inside.

Thinking of this, his scalp suddenly felt itchy.

Captain Fang could no longer bear it and raised his hand to pick it up.

Just as he raised his hand, County Magistrate Pang suddenly exclaimed:
"Eh? Your finger—"

When Captain Fang heard this, he suppressed the itch on his head and raised his hands in front of him.

I saw that most of his five fingernails had turned black.

At first, County Magistrate Pang thought that he was unhygienic and his nails were full of grease and dirt, but as soon as he spoke, Wu Shaochun took a closer look and knew something was wrong.

He grabbed Captain Fang's fingers.

"what!"

Captain Fang let out a low cry of fear.

Under the gaze of the three people, they saw that his nails began to turn black at the bottom of the nail bed, and the black gas flowed around the periphery of the nail cover, making the five fingers of Captain Fang an unhealthy dark blue color.

"This this--"

Captain Fang was startled and raised his other hand. Both of his fingers had turned blue, with the middle of the nails still barely white.

Wu Shaochun's eyes fixed, he raised his hand to his nose and smelled it.

A faint stench wafted into my nose.

The smell of Captain Fang came from this armor cover.

Wu Shaochun paused, and used his other hand to push his armor cover - something strange happened.

The connection under the nail was not flesh and blood, but rotten mud that glued the finger and nail together. With Wu Shaochun's light push, the complete nail was pushed off.

The stench spread quickly, and now both Magistrate Pang and Captain Fang could smell it!

The flesh under the armor turned into black mud, and Captain Fang's face turned pale in an instant.

Wu Shaochun held his breath, and after a while he let out a long sigh:

"Smell it, is this the smell you smelled in the He family's yard?"

“Yes——” Captain Fang began to tremble all over.

"Master Wu, have I been possessed by a ghost--" He began to panic, and his words were not clear:
"Will it be like Li Er——"

Li Er was involved in the Liutu Village ghost case a few days ago. He had his head slashed by a fierce ghost on the street in Wan'an County. This incident has already spread throughout the county government office.

"I have to ask the adults--"

As soon as Wu Shaochun opened his mouth, Zhao Fusheng's voice rang out:
"Shaochun, try to give him a ghost mark."

When a few people heard the voice, they turned around and saw Zhao Fusheng holding Kuai Manzhou standing on the left side of the hall.

"Sir, just now..." When Wu Shaochun saw her appear, he felt relieved for some reason.

Even Magistrate Pang and Captain Fang seemed to have seen their backbone.

Captain Fang was worried that he would die if he was caught by the evil spirit, but when he saw Zhao Fusheng, he almost cried:

"My Lord, my hand—"

"It's the spell of the evil spirit." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Captain Fang felt nervous:
"Am I going to die?"

"No." Zhao Fusheng shook his head and walked towards the three people:

"This is the Demon Suppression Division. There are laws in the Demon Suppression Division that have the power to suppress evil spirits."

The plaque hanging outside the Demon Suppression Bureau is a combination of the plaques of two counties, and it has a certain suppressing power on evil spirits.

“During the Liutu Village ghost case earlier, nothing happened to Wang Hun after he entered the Demon Suppression Division.” As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, the expression of Captain Fang, whose face was as pale as gold paper, instantly looked much better.

"Then I won't leave the Demon Suppression Division today."

"It's not necessary."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and turned to look at Wu Shaochun:
"In fact, I already have an idea of ​​this ghost case."

Wu Shaochun was convinced:
"The Lord said today that a ghost case would happen, and it really happened."

After he finished speaking, he seemed eager to try, yet also a little nervous:
"Why don't you let me handle this ghost case with you, adults—"

"No need." Zhao Fusheng shook his head.

"You'll have to handle this ghost case on your own."

After she made this arrangement, Wu Shaochun was obviously a little flustered:

"me?"

"You are alone." Zhao Fusheng nodded slightly:

"The evil spirit you commanded has been promoted to the level of disaster after suppressing the bandits in Fengmen Village."

The situation was special when Wu Shaochun controlled the Kitchen Ghost.

Because of the restraint of the Door God's Mark, he did not feel fear or anxiety when controlling the stove ghost, but completely accepted and relaxed. Afterwards, the Door God's Mark suppressed the backlash of the evil ghost's power, allowing Wu Shaochun to exert the power of the evil ghost to the extreme, as if he were at the mercy of his arm. "With your power, if you were in other places, you would be promoted to the general of the county government by yourself, and be responsible for the safety of the county government."

The reason why Wu Shaochun has not yet handled the case on his own is because he is used to following Zhao Fusheng and following her orders.

When Wu Shaochun heard her words, he felt excited and a little uneasy.

He was excited that he had received Zhao Fusheng's recognition, which was tantamount to high praise for him, but he was also uneasy about handling the case alone without Zhao Fusheng's leadership.

"Sir, are you not going to take care of me anymore?" Wu Shaochun hesitated for a moment and asked about his inner anxiety.

"Of course not." Zhao Fusheng shook his head:

"It's just that this case is a good opportunity for you to practice."

She could see that Wu Shaochun lacked confidence when he first encountered ghost cases, so she simply gave him some advice:
"Shaochun, your ghost is at the disaster level, and can restrain evil spirits below the disaster level. In fact, you are also capable of protecting yourself above the disaster level."

Although evil ghosts are powerful, they are still ghosts after all. They act according to rules and can never be compared with the flexible thinking of human beings. This is also the reason why ghost riders can fight against evil ghosts once they control ghosts.

However, many people are afraid that the ghosts will revive after they have subdued them. It is difficult for them to control their fear of ghosts, so they are restrained when handling ghost cases and are more likely to be controlled by ghosts.

"After Captain Fang entered the Demon Suppression Division, the ghost energy was suppressed. I estimate that the grade of the evil ghost in the He family yard this time should be the evil level."

Wu Shaochun was stunned by Zhao Fusheng's words: "Sir——"

She had just arrived, so logically she should not have heard anyone discussing the ghost case in the He family yard. However, she was able to tell the details of the case, as if she had supernatural powers and knew everything.

Wu Shaochun scratched his head.

He trusted and respected Zhao Fusheng to the utmost and quickly put this doubt behind him.

In his mind, Zhao Fusheng was omnipotent, so it was no surprise that he knew about the He family's courtyard.

Wu Shaochun immersed his mind into the ghost case again. He became excited again when he thought that he could handle the ghost case independently this time.

"Shaochun, what is the most important thing to deal with when investigating a ghost case?" Zhao Fusheng smiled and asked him.

Wu Shaochun did not hesitate:
"ghost!"

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Evil ghosts are certainly the source of disasters, but our ultimate goal in investigating ghost cases is still to save people—"

Her words made Wu Shaochun's cheeks flush red, like a child being scolded by his elders.

But Zhao Fusheng's tone was gentle, and he did not mean to blame him. Wu Shaochun was certain in his heart and quickly admitted his mistake:

"Your Excellency is right. I was impatient."

Zhao Fusheng smiled:

"You are not wrong."

Although handling ghost cases is mainly for saving people, one must first ensure one's own safety, she reminded:

"You must remember that only when you are safe can you have the energy to help others."

Now that Wu Shaochun's strength surpasses that of the evil spirits in the He family's yard, he can do it with confidence.

"Now that Captain Fang has been marked by the evil spirit law, what do you plan to do if you want to save his life?" Zhao Fusheng wanted to teach Wu Shaochun, but she did not point out the methods directly. Instead, she guided him to find a way to break the spell himself.

Wu Shaochun was surprised by her question. At first, he had no idea and felt worried. But then he thought of the "ghost seal" mentioned by Zhao Fusheng before, and his eyes lit up:
"I can put a ghost seal on him and suppress his laws." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded.

Wu Shaochun was happy to receive her affirmation.

He grasped Captain Fang's hand and unleashed the power of the evil spirit.

A wisp of smoke escaped from his fingertips and turned into a thin black smoke, forming a rope-like shape, which was wrapped around Captain Fang's wrist like a special "ghost bracelet".

The 'ghost bracelet' slowly shrank and was finally branded on Captain Fang's wrist, turning into a special birthmark.

"grown ups--"

As soon as Wu Shaochun successfully printed, he shouted excitedly.

As the stove ghost's mark was placed, Captain Fang's five fingers began to show strange changes.

His nails began to shrink rapidly, and finally fell off his fingertips like dry shells.

The strange black mud on the fingertips also dried up and turned into lumps of mud spots.

Captain Fang couldn't help but blow on his fingers twice, and the mud spots turned into dust and blew away, revealing the flesh and blood underneath.

Bright red blood oozed from the exposed flesh and bones, and the pain came over me belatedly.

"Alright, alright." Captain Fang shouted in surprise and delight:

"I feel it."

As the mud was blown away and the blood flowed out, the disgusting smell on his body disappeared in an instant.

Now even County Magistrate Pang, who did not investigate ghost cases, could see that Captain Fang's life was saved.

"Sir, look!" Wu Shaochun saved a life for the first time in his life. He felt indescribable satisfaction and sense of accomplishment in his heart, and called Zhao Fusheng happily.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"I see." She smiled.

"Shaochun, you have learned how to perform the ghost seal, and you have saved Captain Fang's life," she said, pausing for a moment before continuing:

"You can handle the ghost case first. After this matter is over, if Captain Fang is still worried, you can go to Captain Fang's house--"

Her words made Wu Shaochun and Captain Fang look surprised.

Zhao Fusheng said:
"Put a ghost seal on the stove in Captain Fang's house. If Captain Fang finds it convenient, he can place a bowl of offerings on the stove in the future and burn incense and worship there during the New Year holidays."

Her words made Captain Fang's eyes light up. He turned to look at Wu Shaochun with a passionate expression and said anxiously:
"If Lord Wu is willing to provide me with shelter, that would be great."

Wu Shaochun was somewhat at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Fusheng, but seeing that Zhao Fusheng did not speak, he said:
"Everything depends on the arrangements of the adults."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and looked at Captain Fang:
"You've been to the He family compound once, so you're familiar with the place. You'll be responsible for leading the way in this case."

He has Wu Shaochun's ghost seal on his body, and ghosts below the disaster level cannot harm him.

Captain Fang was very surprised when he remembered that he would be protected by Wu Shaochun after this case. He had no objection to being involved in this case again. He nodded when he heard this:
"I will follow your instructions."

Zhao Fusheng said:

"You go first."

Captain Fang responded, and without even having time to greet his immediate superior, he strode out.

At this moment, County Magistrate Pang had no time to pursue the responsibility for Captain Fang's misconduct. He just looked at Wu Shaochun with some envy, then looked at Zhao Fusheng, and called out hesitantly:
"Sir, I also--" He looked at Wu Shaochun with anticipation in his eyes.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"If Magistrate Pang also wants Shaochun to print it, you can discuss it with him after the ghost case here is settled, but whether he should do it depends entirely on you two to discuss it privately."

She didn't interfere in the matter.

Wu Shaochun smiled, and County Magistrate Pang felt relieved.

After the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Bureau was rebuilt, County Magistrate Pang has always been respectful to the people of the Demon Suppression Bureau and they have a good relationship.

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Wu Shaochun did not refuse, and County Magistrate Pang knew that the matter was settled.

He was thinking that after the matter was settled, he would not only have to provide for Wu Shaochun at home, but he would also have to ask his family to buy meat and wine, and he would have to prepare several tables to entertain Wu Shaochun.

Magistrate Pang was thinking about something and said:

"Thank you, sir. I will discuss this with Envoy Wu later. I will go out to help Brother Qing first and will not disturb you."

Zhao Fusheng responded, and County Magistrate Pang also left the hall.
