I become a god in another world

Chapter 358: Conversation between Two People
Chapter 358

Smoke from the ghost stove rose slowly.

This stove clearly gives people a cold and ominous feeling, but with the skeletons placed in the yard next to it, the people in the He family's yard feel at ease.

Several people with red eyes looked at Wu Shaochun with some awe, then walked up to Old Man Wu and whispered a few words to him.

After a while, Old Man Wu walked to Captain Fang's side again. The two discussed for a while, and then came directly in front of Wu Shaochun. Old Man Wu was a little restrained:
"Uncle Wu, according to the previous rules, does the Demon Suppression Division need to collect some money to handle the case?"

At first, corpses frequently appeared in the He family's yard and people went missing. When they learned that a ghost case had occurred, everyone became terrified. But in the end, the ghost case was solved, and a new problem arose in everyone's mind - they were worried that such a big event would alarm the masters of the Demon Suppression Division and they would ask everyone to share the money.

Wu Shaochun himself came from a rural background, and he could also hear the uneasiness in Old Man Wu's words.

He looked past the cowering Old Man Wu and behind him.

The few people who had spoken to Old Man Wu earlier were standing together with their heads hunched. There were both men and women among them, and they were short and thin.

It was the middle of winter, and many people were wearing worn-out straw sandals. Their trouser legs were torn like brushes, revealing their scabby ankles and cracked feet, bleeding.

These people had hunched backs and sadness in their eyes.

Wu Shaochun asked:

"Are they all the ghosts causing trouble in the He family's yard?"

Old Man Wu turned his head and looked back, then nodded:

"Yes, that's the old lady from the You family. Something happened to her daughter-in-law. That's——"

He named a few and Wu Shaochun knew the flavor right away.

After a ghost disaster occurs, if they have to levy money to be handed over to the Demon Suppression Bureau, other people in the courtyard will definitely be unhappy.

They were all neighbors, and it would be embarrassing if they got into a fight afterwards, so the families of the victims first decided to sound out Wu Shaochun to see how the matter could be resolved.

When everyone saw Wu Shaochun's gaze, they felt guilty and scared.

Wu Shaochun said:

"No need to collect any money." He shook his head. As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

The disgusting ghosts here were suppressed and the ghost domain was lifted, but the remaining stench did not completely dissipate.

Wu Shaochun should have been very relaxed and happy after solving the case, but when he heard what Old Man Wu said, he felt heavy and just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible.

He looked at Captain Fang with a stern face:
"We have finished our business and are going back to report. You just stay here to clean up the mess."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Captain Fang responded several times.

Wu Shaochun then looked at Kuai Manzhou:

"Man Zhou, let's go back."

The child nodded, and she grabbed in the air with both hands. The black silk net rolled in the air and bound the disgusting ghost inside.

Kuai Manzhouru picked up the thing, held it in his hand, and followed Wu Shaochun.

The two of them left the He family's yard, escorted by Captain Fang, Old Man Wu and others. After they stepped out of the shabby gate, they heard suppressed crying sounds from the yard.

In the distance was the carriage of the Demon Suppression Bureau. The driver was sitting in the carriage, staring at the direction of the yard. When he saw the two people coming out, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before Wu Shaochun left, he looked back as if possessed by a ghost, and saw that many people had already prostrated themselves at the ghost stove where he left behind.

The power of the kitchen ghost he controlled was slowly increasing during this worship.

At the same time, in the Demon Suppression Division, Zhao Fusheng, who had not slept yet and was waiting for the return of Wu Shaochun and Kuai Manzhou, who were handling a case alone for the first time, heard a reminder from the List of the Gods in his sea of ​​consciousness the moment the disgusting ghost was subdued:

The He Family Yard ghost case was solved, and a reward of 3000 merit points was given.

Congratulations to the host for arresting the disgusting ghost that escaped from the Kuailiang Village ghost case and rewarding 1000 merit points.

……

Zhao Fusheng had been worried for the entire night, but when he heard the hint from the Investiture of the Gods, he finally felt relieved.

The ghost in the He family yard was indeed a disgusting ghost. It was Wu Shaochun's first case, but he was able to solve it successfully in such a short time. Zhao Fusheng also noticed that the Investiture of the Gods did not deduct any merit points, which proved that Wu Shaochun solved the case well and did not lose the support of the people.

After she felt relieved, she stood up and left the hall, preparing to return to her room.

When passing through the outer courtyard, you can see the lights on in the opposite wing and hear the sound of abacus beads being moved.

About an hour later, the sound of carriage wheels was heard outside.

A cloud of blood mist quickly passed over the inner courtyard of the Demon Suppression Division, penetrated into Zhao Fusheng's room, and turned into the appearance of Kuai Manzhou when it landed.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Wu Shaochun shouted outside:
"Sir, I'm back."

Zhao Fusheng responded and motioned to Kuai Manzhou to open the door.

The wooden bolt at the door was pulled open by the ghost line, and the door was opened from the inside. Wu Shaochun stood at the door and saw Zhao Fusheng sitting at the table and the child standing beside her at a glance.

Zhao Fusheng had not yet washed up, obviously not slept, and was waiting for him to return.

"grown ups."

Wu Shaochun thought about his experience tonight and started to get excited:
"Just as the adults said, the evil ghost in the He family yard is a disgusting ghost."

The smell was the same as the smell on Kuai Wu that he smelled in Kuailiang Village that day, but the disgusting ghost this time was even stinkier than Kuai Wu back then.

"Man Zhou and I have fulfilled our mission and completed the master's instructions. We have suppressed the disgusting ghost."

Zhao Fusheng had already known the result from the hints in the List of Gods, so when he heard his words, he nodded.

"Thanks to the adults' reminder, after the case was over, to prevent any accidents in the He family yard, I made a ghost seal in the yard." After he said this, he subconsciously looked up to look into Zhao Fusheng's eyes.

But Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded approvingly:
"Shaochun, you did a great job."

This compliment finally activated Wu Shaochun's suppressed excitement after solving the ghost case. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face:
"After the ghost seal was placed, someone worshipped the seal. I felt the power of the evil ghost was improving."

"Yes!" Zhao Fusheng put away his smile and said seriously:

"Shaochun, you know that ghosts have different grades."

Wu Shaochun nodded, and seeing her serious expression, he became a little nervous and replied:
"Evil spirit, evil, evil, disaster, and disaster. The adults mentioned that there is a robbery level above the disaster level, which is the case in the Shilipo ghost case."

After he said this, the pride in his heart after completing the ghost case was suppressed a little.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"Yes, but there is actually another way for evil spirits to advance, which is to worship as ghost gods." She said:

"Ghosts can accept the incense and worship from the people, and they can also use the laws of evil spirits to turn harming people into saving people."

Wu Shaochun kept her words firmly in mind.

"But I'm a little unsure—" Zhao Fusheng frowned and said:
"If ghosts accept offerings and receive incense and worship to be promoted to ghosts and gods, their strength will increase greatly. Then, once the evil ghosts controlled by living ghost masters are promoted, what will they eventually become——"

At this point, Zhao Fusheng sighed:

"Shaochun, the road ahead is not clear. We are just groping forward. If you sense that the evil spirit is losing control during the worship, you must destroy the mark immediately."

Wu Shaochun sensed the concern in her words and nodded in response:
"Don't worry, my lord."

He mentioned the influence of evil spirits during the printing process, but this influence can be controlled under the suppression of the door god's mark.

"On the contrary, as the worship continues, the power of the evil spirits increases steadily—"

Wu Shaochun thought for a moment and said, "It's actually more stable than when we were in Fengmen Village."

"That's fine." Zhao Fusheng was temporarily relieved when he heard that.

"In addition to the door gods, I now also control the headless ghost in the Confucius Temple. If your ghost seal loosens, I can add another seal."

The two men talked for a few more words. After Wu Shaochun briefly explained the case in the He family courtyard, he glanced at Kuai Manyou and then stood up to say goodbye.

Zhao Fusheng nodded, and reminded him before he left:

"Shaochun, you will record the case in the file tomorrow."

Wu Shaochun responded:
"I'll ask Dafan for help then."

"Always asking others for help is not a long-term solution. When you have time later, you can ask Magistrate Pang and others to teach you how to read and write." Zhao Fusheng said.

“……”A look of pain appeared on Wu Shaochun’s face.

But the person who spoke was Zhao Fusheng, and he finally responded with a bitter face.

As soon as Wu Shaochun left, Zhao Fusheng looked at Kuai Manzhou.

Her eyes were calm, but the child's body unconsciously tensed up when she looked at him.

Zhao Fusheng's gaze moved down to the palm of her hand.

The evil ghost's body was between visible and invisible. At this moment, as Zhao Fusheng's gaze fixed on the ghost, black gas suddenly surged under the child's palm.

A ball of something tied up with ghost thread appeared in front of Zhao Fusheng, and a faint stench suddenly appeared in the room.

"Disgusting ghost?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Kuai Manzhou nodded.

She handed the evil ghost in her hand to Zhao Fusheng. Zhao Fusheng did not take it rashly, but activated the power of the beggar ghost and caught the disgusting ghost.

The ghost line that bound the evil ghost silently dissipated, but the disgusting ghost was suppressed by the power of the beggar ghost and did not revive.

When the evil spirit was suppressed, it covered the body of the deceased who was being parasitized. It now retained its original appearance, shaped like a strange human skin coat, but covered with filth.

A layer of light gray-green ghost mist lingered on this special "human leather coat", and wherever the mist went, death was shrouded.

Zhao Fusheng's Sea of ​​Knowledge's List of Gods Tips:

This is a ghost fur coat!
Misfortune will come to those who wear it.

It parasitizes on the bodies of relatives when alive, and parasitizes among all living beings after death.

Note: Once you are parasitized by it, you will never be able to get rid of it until it sucks your blood and flesh dry, and then it will leave the host.

Note: It is filthy when alive and smells bad after death, which can make all ghosts avoid it.

After putting on this ghost fur coat, you can avoid being marked and killed by evil spirits.

Reminder to the host: Use its power with caution and do not wear this weird ghost fur coat.

……

Zhao Fusheng was paying attention to the prompts in her sea of ​​consciousness, but Kuai Manzhou beside her was looking at her with his head tilted.

The child clasped his hands together and twisted his ten fingers unconsciously.

She lost control in the He family's yard and almost made a mistake. At that time, she was fearless and warned Wu Shaochun afterwards, but he didn't dare to betray her.

Kuai Manzhou had also made up her mind not to tell Zhao Fusheng about this matter, but for some reason, when the child looked at her, she felt a vague impulse in her heart.

"Fusheng." She called out in a crisp voice.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhao Fusheng heard her call and immediately used the power of hell to cover the ghost fur coat.

The four layers of hell at this time were still unable to completely imprison the evil ghosts, but they could suppress them for a short period of time. In addition, the disgusting ghosts were not in the form of evil ghosts when they were subdued, but in a suppressed form. Therefore, Zhao Fusheng successfully put the evil ghosts into hell.

As Hell imprisoned the disgusting ghost, the stench in the room quickly dissipated.

Zhao Fusheng suppressed the power of the beggar ghost with 100 merit points, and then looked at Kuai Manzhou.

The little girl's eyes were slightly red, her lips were tightly pursed, and her expression was both defensive and uneasy. But when she looked at her, the child quickly puffed up her cheeks, raised her head, and showed a provocative look:
"When I was in the He family yard, I almost killed someone."

She said these words in one go, full of anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, complicated thoughts arose in the child's mind.

She herself couldn't explain the feeling. It seemed like she was a little scared, a little expectant, and with a hint of panic - this uncontrollable emotion seemed to take her back to the time when she learned that Madam Zhuang Si was leaving.

The child suddenly became angry.

She first thought: I shouldn’t tell Fusheng about this.

Then she gave up and thought: I must tell Fusheng, if she scolds me or hits me, I will never listen to her again and I don’t want to see her.

When Kuai Manzhou was thinking about the couplet, Zhao Fusheng's voice suddenly rang out:

"Did you kill anyone?"

She did not immediately become angry because of the child's words, nor did she lecture him as Kuai Manzhou had expected, but it was these calm words that miraculously soothed the child's inner anxiety.

All dissatisfaction and anger disappeared immediately.

The little girl's mood strangely improved, and she even wanted to take out the string of copper coins and shake it.

And the child did just that.

She shook the coin, bit her lip, and shook her head obediently:

"No." She answered honestly:
"Wu Shaochun interrupted me."

Zhao Fusheng was a little surprised.

The first time she let go of Kuai Manzhou's hand, she guessed that the child might lose control, but the little girl did not show any emotion when she heard about the existence of the "disgusting ghost", which made Zhao Fusheng underestimate the possibility of Kuai Manzhou losing control.

"He wronged me." Kuai Manzhou complained.

She had originally decided not to tell anyone about this matter, but under Zhao Fusheng's gaze, she couldn't control herself and just wanted to tell everything.

"He said that Pang Qing's money was given to me. No, not even ten cents."

The child said:

"That's all." After saying that, she raised the three copper coins strung together in her hand and shook them.

"There is another string left. I'll give it to you. I don't have ten cents."

She didn't know how to count yet, but she knew that the two salaries she received did not add up to ten cents, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

Zhao Fusheng couldn't help laughing:

"Shaochun misunderstood you."

"Yeah!" Kuai Manzhou nodded vigorously.

"He said nonsense on purpose. It's his fault. We will punish him by making him learn to read and write." Zhao Fusheng said.

"Okay." Kuai Manzhou smiled.
