I become a god in another world

Chapter 365 Erasing the Book of Fate
Chapter 365

The vehicle drove out of the city and into the fields.

It was winter at this time, and the withered yellow weeds and farmlands merged with the night, turning into afterimages that were left behind by the carriage one by one.

The ghost car was incredibly fast, but the most important thing was that the people inside the car didn't feel any bumps at all.

Until this moment, Yu Ping finally understood why Zhao Fusheng traveled on the first day of the new year.

She drove the ghost car at an incredibly fast speed.

Originally, it would take five or six days to travel from Wan'an County to Changping County, but considering the speed of the ghost car, it would probably only take a moment to get there.

No wonder Zhao Fusheng had been so calm before and only set out at this time.

But she didn't expect that the power of the evil ghost could be used here besides being used to solve ghost cases.

Zhong Yao thought about how she had asked Ding Datong's name before and then registered Ding Datong's surname. At this moment, she vaguely understood the rules of the ghost car's operation...

The vehicle was speeding along, and the scenery outside was rapidly receding, creating an illusion that the vehicle was flying in the air.

The lights in the ghost car dimmed, and all the revived evil spirits were sealed again. The two brothers Zhong Yao and Yu Ping looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and huddled together obediently, sitting with their backs leaning against each other.

Only Xia Misheng curiously climbed to the back of the car and stared outside.

The hole that Qiao Yuesheng left on the Ghost Car that day was not big, and he occupied the space alone, which made Fan Wujiu, who also wanted to look out the window, unhappy.

The two men were almost the same age, and were still young and willful. When they fought for a position, neither of them was willing to give in, and a quarrel almost broke out.

When Yu Ping saw this scene, he was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Yayoi!" he shouted loudly:

"What are you arguing about with Envoy Fan—"

"Second brother, I--" Xia Misheng felt a little aggrieved and was about to speak, but was glared back by Yu Ping.

Xia Misheng gave up his seat with regret, and Fan Wujiu sat down with excitement on his face.

No one in the car said a word about this - this was a ghost car belonging to Wan'an County, so naturally people from Wan'an County should occupy a better position.

Yu Ping felt distressed when he saw his brother's sad expression, but he had no choice but to change the subject:

"I didn't expect that the master would actually drive the ghost carriage on this trip. We three brothers were worried that we wouldn't have enough time -"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the slightly awkward and tense atmosphere caused by the two teenagers fighting for a seat was immediately broken.

Zhao Fusheng looked at him with interest: "What will happen if we don't have time?"

"Our names are registered in the Soul Book. If we don't return within the time limit, we will be regarded as deserters—"

Once they are identified as deserters, the ghost curse in the Soul Book will immediately backfire and swallow the three people.

Under the constraints of the Soul Book, not only were Yu Ping and Xia Misheng unable to resist, even a ghost rider like Zhong Yao had no power to fight back.

When Yu Ping said this, he recalled the fear and worry of the past few days and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Zhao Fusheng had a good impression of him.

This person has a calm and down-to-earth temperament. When he talked about the Changping County ghost case, he was also very tactful and did not hide anything.

He also explained the route of the ghost fetus case in great detail, even telling some unsure rumors, which was very timely.

Previously, when Xia Misheng and Fan Wujiu were competing for a position, he also scolded his own family members in advance. Although this was reasonable, it also gave Zhao Fusheng the idea of ​​helping them solve the problem.

"Are you afraid of the backlash from the Soul Book?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Yu Ping didn't understand what she meant, so he forced a smile:
"As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, who wouldn't be afraid of the constraints of the Soul Fate Book—"

Zhao Fusheng waved to him:
"Give me the Soul Fate Books of the three of you."

Zhong Yao didn't understand the purpose of her action. After hesitating for a moment, she knelt down and stood up, took out a jade book from her arms, and handed it to Zhao Fusheng.

While handing the book over, he had actually vaguely guessed what Zhao Fusheng was thinking.

But he felt it was unlikely.

The Book of Souls and Fates is controlled by Jia Yi of the Demon Suppression Office. The ghost minions that Jia Yi controls have at least reached disaster level, and may even be superior to ordinary disaster level ghosts.

Although the Soul Book held by the three brothers is far away from the capital and the place where the evil spirits are, which restricts the killing rules of the ghost minions, after all, everyone is registered in the Soul Book and is still bound by the ghosts, making it difficult for them to resist.

His mind turned, and before he could even ask his question, he saw Zhao Fusheng take the Ghost Book and hand it to Meng Po.

"Meng Po, please help them solve their problem."

"???"

Yu Ping and the other two looked puzzled.

In their eyes, Meng Po was old and kind, and there was nothing weird about her.

She did not have the eerie aura of a ghost rider. While the three brothers were detained in Wan'an County, they saw that Meng Po spent most of her time hiding in the kitchen tinkering with food, and occasionally brought out a bowl of pitch-black medicine and fed it to Zhang Chuanshi.

Although one cannot judge a person by his appearance, Meng Po did not show any qualities of a ghost rider.

When they were puzzled, Meng Po smiled and stretched out her hand to take the Soul Book from Zhao Fusheng:
"Your Excellency is too polite."

She spoke in a soft voice, and after receiving the Book of Souls and Destiny, she seemed to be afraid that the bitter taste of the medicine on her hands would contaminate the jade book, so she wiped it twice on her apron.

While Meng Po was speaking, Zhong Yao felt a chill on the back of his neck. He then sensed that a thin layer of red mist had been rising inside the ghost car.

The mist carried light.

There was a layer of blood light lingering around Meng Po's body. Yu Ping saw that a red halo as big as a palm appeared above Meng Po's head at some point.

The halo looked like a blood-red moon, and the light it emitted enveloped Meng Po.

Once shrouded in moonlight, Meng Po's face suddenly became somewhat terrifying.

The Book of Souls and Fates seemed to sense the change in the evil spirit's power, and the terrifying ghost curse was instantly revived.

Dense, black ghost language spells instantly covered Meng Po's hands.

If an ordinary person is bound by a ghost curse, this hand will be immediately disabled.

But Meng Po did not take the ghost curse seriously, and the moonlight above her head became even brighter.

Under the moonlight, the interior of the ghost car was also affected, and the ghost corpses subconsciously avoided the moonlight.

Meng Po laughed softly, then shook her palm gently.

The ghost curses covering the surface of her palms immediately shattered silently like dried mud and turned into flying black powder.

Meng Po's hand was intact.

This scene shocked the three Zhong Yao brothers.

But what surprised the three even more was yet to come.

Meng Po pinched the Book of Souls and Destiny, applying a little force with her fingers.

“This jade book is specially made. Even a disaster-level evil spirit cannot shatter it with its strength—” Zhong Yao said with a tightened throat.

"Haha." Meng Po laughed softly. As she exerted force with her fingers, a drop of blood silently seeped into the Soul and Fate Book along her fingertips.

As soon as the blood entered the jade book, the jade book began to vibrate violently.

Meng Po's blood contained supreme power that could suppress evil spirits. The blood quickly spread in the Book of Souls and Fates, erasing the names of Zhong Yao, Yu Ping, and Xia Misheng one by one wherever it went.

……

It all happened very quickly.

In just a blink of an eye, the crisis that had been weighing on Zhong Yao and the other two was immediately resolved, and the Soul Book that bound the three's souls and determined their life and death was released.

"..."

Yu Ping felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart. He could hardly believe his eyes and turned to look at Zhong Yao:
"Big brother-"

Before Zhong Yao could say anything, Meng Po had already handed back the Soul and Life Book, which had been completely cleaned out, with a smile on her face.

"Thank you very much, grandma."

After a while, Zhong Yao respectfully stretched out her hands to take the Soul Book.

As soon as she got the jade book, Zhong Yao knew that the soul that bound her had been cleansed.

The Soul Book still retained the chilling feeling of the evil spirit's power, but the feeling of being restrained had completely disappeared.

He flipped through the book again and again, and the three names and the ghost figure had disappeared without a trace. He was no longer bound by the Book of Souls and Destiny.

The three brothers were surprised and delighted at the same time, and immediately gained a new understanding of the strength of Wan'an County Demon Suppression Bureau.

The blood moon above Meng Po's head gradually sank and slowly sank into her body.

The red and black shadows on her face disappeared, and she became very kind again, with no trace of her previous cruelty or horror.

What kind of terrifying power is this? Even the power of the ghost controlled by Jia Yi can be forcibly washed away.

Ding Datong himself probably didn't expect that when he arbitrarily recruited people from Wan'an County to serve as scapegoats in case the ghost disaster got out of control, he ended up bringing in such a large group of powerful men.

At the moment when the soul and destiny books of Zhong Yao and the other two were cleared, Ding Datong, who was far away in Changping County, felt the unusual movement of the soul and destiny books.

From the outbreak of the Changping County ghost case to now, in just half a year, he felt that he had aged a lot.

The moment the ghost rider starts to control the evil ghost, his life almost stops at that year. Ding Datong is naturally not really aging, but rather aging in his state of mind.

He did not look old, about forty years old, with a short beard, gray-brown eyes, and a somewhat cold look when he looked at people.

After the ghost fetus case broke out, Ding Datong initially thought it was just an ordinary ghost case. Later, when he discovered that there was something fishy going on in this ghost case that he could not solve, he began to panic.

Ding Datong has been afraid since the beginning of November, when a ghost rider from the provincial capital died.

He himself was also a person who controlled a disaster-level evil ghost, and his situation was not as stable as the people from the provincial government at that time. However, the moment the ghost fetus case broke out in Guangci Temple, the ghost rider who controlled a disaster-level evil ghost died as soon as they met.

After his death, not only was his body gone, but even the evil spirit he controlled disappeared without a trace - it was unknown whether the ghost was completely suppressed by the evil spirit, or whether the evil spirit escaped.

Ding Datong didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

He was quite responsible. After the incident, he did not abandon his responsibility and ran away. Instead, he tried to stay calm and clean up the aftermath.

He first communicated with Feng Guangchong, the governor of the state, to determine the aftermath of the case. When he knew that the ghost disaster would be sent to the capital, he immediately began to select candidates to send the ghost disaster.

The reason why he took Zhao Fusheng from Wan'an County into consideration was because Zhao Fusheng was a rare female ghost rider.

He sent his men to summon the demon officials in the counties and towns under the jurisdiction of the county. Half a month has passed since the envoys set out.

……

It was already late at night, but Ding Datong was still awake.

He was sitting in a house with several ghostly ghost riders.

The house was painted black, giving it a shape similar to the inside of a coffin. It had no windows and only two double doors.

At this time, the gate was bolted from the inside and locked with an iron chain.

There were seven or eight armchairs in the room, and several ghost riders sat on a stool separated by a row in tacit understanding.

Ding Datong, a general of Changping County, sat in the first seat, with several people with different expressions sitting on both sides of him.

Half a moment before the unusual movement appeared in the Soul and Fate Book, Ding Datong seemed to have sensed something and opened his eyes.

"How long have Zhong Yao and the others been gone?"

When he asked questions, several people sat on the chairs like corpses, their faces dead silent, and they did not answer.

Only a black shadow twisted and made a 'ssing' sound, and then a man deliberately pinched his throat and pretended to speak in a shrill voice:
"I've been gone for half a month."

"..." The other people who had no reaction opened their eyes at the same time. When they heard these words, they couldn't help but reveal disgust on their faces.

"It's been half a month. We set out on November 11th. It will take no more than five days to travel from Changping County to Wan'an County by horseback." Among the three, Zhong Yao is a ghost rider. The evil ghosts he rides are special and it is impossible for them to die on the way.

Moreover, Ding Datong had also seen the Soul Book earlier, which meant that the marks of the three people's souls were still there, which meant that all three were still alive.

The person is still alive and should be staying in Wan'an County, but the deadline is almost up and he has not returned yet...

“If they don’t return within the time limit, once the Soul Book backfires, these three people will—” Ding Datong didn’t finish his words, and immediately sensed the movement of the Soul Book.

He immediately reached into his arms and took out a jade book.

As a county-level general, the fate book in Ding Datong's hand is different from the fate books of ordinary county magistrates. The fate book in his hand is bright red, and it seems that blood is flowing inside.

Soaked in that blood were the names of the people.

All the ghost-controlling officials and envoys under the jurisdiction of the county government under the jurisdiction of Changping County are controlled by this Book of Souls and Destiny.

When he took out the Book of Life, the expressions of everyone in the house changed slightly.

Ding Datong seemed unable to sense the changes in other people, and instead cast his gaze on the Soul Book. He tapped the book with his finger, and countless souls transformed into ghostly shadows with resentment and emerged from the jade book one by one.

Every soul under the jurisdiction of the county government passed by one after another, but no matter how Ding Datong flipped through them, the souls belonging to Zhong Yao and the other two disappeared.

The Soul Book will not make mistakes. Once the soul disappears, it means that the three people have either been devoured by ghosts or are already dead.

"them--"

Ding Datong's face changed slightly, and he was about to speak when he suddenly saw blood surging in the Soul Book. The power of the evil ghost seemed to be provoked and stimulated by some force and suddenly went out of control.

A large number of dense gray-black ghost curses emerged, attached to Ding Datong's hand, spread along his arm, instantly covered half of his neck, and climbed up to his cheek.

This kind of accident did not only happen to Ding Datong, but other ghost riders in the house were also affected.

One after another, everyone was covered by the ghost curse.

Generally speaking, the ghost riders listed in the Soul and Fate Book are also considered to be one of the "ghost minions" controlled by the evil ghost controlled by Jia Yi, and the evil ghost will not harm its own ghost minions.

But ghosts are ghosts after all. They have no thoughts, emotions, likes or dislikes. Once they get out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.

The ghost curse began to devour everyone's flesh and blood.

As soon as they realized this, everyone in the hall used their magical powers.
