I become a god in another world

Chapter 388 The night is coming
Chapter 388

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Chen Duozi pulled his son to thank him happily. His hunched back straightened a little, and he left from the other side of the cabin with his family.

After the family left, Ding Datong turned to look at Zhao Fusheng, and then saw the smile on her face disappear instantly, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Sir, is Lu Zhuer really getting better?"

Fan Bisi asked.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"Not very good."

After she said this, the coldness between her eyebrows eased a little, and she smiled and looked at Wu Shaochun, who was sitting on the ground putting on his shoes and socks.

Wu Shaochun's bent instep has returned to normal, no longer looking like it was forcibly bent as before.

Zhao Fusheng praised:

"Shaochun is becoming more and more prudent in his work." He is calm and thoughtful when investigating ghost cases. He thought in advance that measuring footprints might trigger the evil ghost's killing rules, so he took the lead in releasing the stove ghost to form a field.

Although he was suppressed by the Red Shoes Ghost due to his evil ghost rank, Wu Shaochun's cautious nature was the key to saving his life when handling cases.

After being marked by the ghost, he did not panic, but remained calm and first talked about his discovery and then his feelings.

Wu Shaochun was praised by her and chuckled twice. After putting on his shoes and socks, he stood up and stood next to Zhao Fusheng.

“Meng Po, did you see the shadow behind Lu Zhuer clearly?”

When the Lu family got up to leave, Meng Po stood on the side of the boat, stretched her neck and stared in the direction where Lu Zhuer was going.

Hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, she turned her head, was stunned for a long while, and shook her head:
"can not see clearly."

Zhao Fusheng asked again:
"Does she feel like your daughter?"

"..."

When the people in Changping County heard her say this, their pupils shrank rapidly.

Meng Po looked painful and shook her head:
"I can't explain it clearly. I feel - I feel -" She couldn't help but look in the direction where Lu Zhu'er left and said:

"It feels like it's getting closer, but it doesn't feel like it's my Yishu." After saying this, she sighed again:
"Could it be that as time goes by, we, mother and daughter, will eventually—"

She was a little disappointed.

Zhao Fusheng did not press the issue any further, but said:
"Since we can't see it for now, forget it. There's still time. The truth will eventually come out."

Meng Po nodded reluctantly and forced a smile:
"Your Excellency is right."

"The important issue at the moment is not this." Zhao Fusheng said seriously with a serious expression:
"Since everyone is here, I might as well make it clear."

After she said this, everyone's expression became serious, even Zhang Chuanshi's expression became much more serious.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"The reason why I said Lu Zhuer's situation is not good is not because the door god's mark cannot restrain the red shoe ghost."

As she spoke, she took the door god back into the List of Gods.

During this period of time, the List of Gods reminded her again that the door god had gained a total of 8 believers.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at everyone in Changping County.

There were seven people present, headed by Ding Datong, including the Changping County Demon Suppression Officer and the three Zhong Yao brothers. The seven people looked at him with burning eyes, especially Tao Lifang and several ghost riders, who were even more attentive. It was obvious that after seeing the door god ghost seal, these people were moved and became believers in ghosts and gods.

As for the new believer, I don’t know which member of the Lu family he is.

However, Zhao Fusheng had no intention of delving into these matters at this moment. She even felt a little regretful deep in her heart.

After the Ghost Gate God was promoted, she became very confident in the Gate God's strength, which led to the fact that she only drove the Gate God when she was making the ghost seal for Lu Zhuer.

Although the Door God Seal was indeed extraordinary and formed a balance with the Red Shoes Ghost the moment it was struck, it was precisely this balance that made Zhao Fusheng feel uneasy.

After she said this, Liu Yizhen couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Why is this?"

"Logically, the Red Shoes Ghost is restrained and can no longer kill people." Wu Shaochun tried to analyze:

"As long as there is no external interference, the balance will not be broken--" He was stunned for a moment when he said this, and then he seemed to have thought of something and looked thoughtful.

"Yes, there is no external interference--"

Zhao Fusheng sighed:
"Shangyang County, midnight betrothal, the case of the ghost with red shoes," she paused and looked at Liu Yizhen again, then her eyes fell on the ghost coffin on his back:
"There is also the ghost fetus case."

These cases seemed unrelated at first, but through tiny clues, the shadow of a "person" was captured.

"Paper figures."

With the intervention of Paper Man Zhang, even the most ordinary cases cannot be taken lightly and are full of variables.

"Let's put aside the approximate number of years." Zhao Fusheng looked at Liu Yizhen:

"Regardless of the ghost cases related to the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall, let's only talk about 43 years."

"According to existing records, there are two known ghost cases this year."

Zhao Fusheng said:

"The Red Shoes Ghost Case, Meng Po Received a Bloody Letter from Home."

The people of Wan'an County listened to her analysis with rapt attention, but the people of Changping County felt they had no idea where to start because they did not know the cause and effect.

However, Ding Datong understood the four words "Red Shoes Ghost Case".

He thought of the blood-stained shoes on Lu Zhuer's feet and Wu Shaochun's action of measuring the bloody footprints, and his heart couldn't help feeling a chill.

"We originally combined the case of the red shoes ghost with that of Meng Po's daughter Shen Yishu."

But although the two ghosts have something in common, their laws are different, so this speculation has been ruled out.

Zhao Fusheng added:
"But the two ghosts also have something in common, especially when it comes to the paper man Zhang." She said solemnly:
"Then there must be some connection between the two ghost cases."

Po Meng nodded.

"Another point is that the ghost fetus case broke out in Changping County at this time."

Zhao Fusheng said:
"The ghost fetus case has been temporarily suppressed. Although it seems to have nothing to do with Paper Figure Zhang, it appears at this critical moment——"

Considering Paper Man Zhang's viciousness and far-sightedness, the two cases may be related.

Zhao Fusheng sighed:
"I should have completely suppressed the Red Shoe Ghost from the beginning. The door god's mark can only be suppressed, always..." She shook her head when she said this.

If she had asked for a ghost catcher first, a robbery-level ghost catcher would definitely be able to completely subdue the red-shoe ghost.

Even if the ghost's power gets out of control, we can ask Meng Po or Kuai Manzhou to help balance it out, and the situation will be much more controllable.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t have much merit, and the existence of Paper Man Zhang makes her nervous, so she dares not leave any backup plan.

"In short, the situation has come to this. You just have to be more careful from now on. Meng Po, you should go to the Lu family more often in the next few days."

She looked at Meng Po and whispered something.

Meng Po understood what she meant and said quickly:

"Don't worry, sir. I think that Madam Lu is quite good at cooking. I'd like to ask her how to make yellow rice. When I return to Wan'an County in the future, I will steam it for you every day."

Except for Zhong Yao and the other two who looked normal when they heard this, Ding Datong and others had strange expressions on their faces.

Meng Po showed her skills last night. She is very powerful and is willing to serve others.

And that was it after she finished speaking. Zhao Fusheng was not shy at all and nodded naturally:
"it is good."

After discussing the business, Zhao Fusheng waved his hand:
"Okay, everyone, go do your own thing. We still have a month on the ship, so there's no need to get together all the time."

The people of Changping County looked at each other, responded, and then dispersed.

After everyone left, Zhao Fusheng did not return to his room immediately, but lay down on the side of the boat.

It was already afternoon and the morning fog had long since dissipated, revealing a river surface that seemed to have no end in sight in the distance.

The river water meets the horizon, and the river breeze blows slowly, creating waves on the surface.

The river surface was unusually calm at this time, but under the water, there was an undercurrent. Zhao Fusheng supported himself on the wooden railing with both hands and suddenly shouted:
"Man Zhou, you have to pay more attention in the future."

The child also wanted to learn from her and lie down by the boat's side.

But she had short legs and a short stature, so she could only lie on the lowest wooden railing of the boat. As Zhao Fusheng spoke, the child's body turned into a shadow and disappeared.

When he appeared again, Kuai Manzhou was already lying beside Zhao Fusheng, with his feet hanging in the air and swinging them across each other a few times.

'whee'.

The laughter of children rang out on the boat. After a while, Kuai Manzhou responded expressionlessly:
"Ok."

……

In the evening, Meng Po calculated the time and went to the kitchen, where she happened to meet Chen Duozi. She quickly became familiar with her and found out more about the Lu family from her.

Over the next few days, the two of them got along better and better. Meng Po not only understood Chen Duozi's character, but also learned about the situation of her mother and sister.

During this period, Ding Datong also found ways to entertain Fan Bisi, Zhang Chuanshi and others, and found out the whole story of the Red Shoes Ghost Case from them.

In this way, time passed quickly and more than twenty days went by in a flash.

The ship was very peaceful during this period.

Apart from the initial sensation caused by Lu Zhuer, no strange things have happened since then.

Even Zhao Fusheng's initial worry that the paper man Zhang would cause a crisis did not happen, and the living dead who was pregnant with the ghost fetus was still suppressed in the ghost coffin.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhao Fusheng stood on the deck to enjoy the breeze.

In addition to Meng Po and Kuai Manzhou accompanying her, Ding Datong also shamelessly followed her.

These days he has been trying every means to please the people of Wan'an County and has obtained a lot of clues from them. Although these people did not reveal anything about Zhao Fusheng's true strength, the existence of the door god and these people's awe of Zhao Fusheng made Ding Datong determined to please Zhao Fusheng along the way.

The more Ding Datong got along with this former "subordinate", the more he felt that Zhao Fusheng's personality was different from what he had originally expected.

She doesn't look like a ghost rider. Her temper and personality are much gentler than the average person, but she is strong inside.

"My Lord, I think the weather is not right."

Ding Datong looked at the fluttering sails and said:
"I'm afraid it's going to rain soon."

Raining on a river surface is different from raining on flat ground.

The wind brought a damp and stuffy feeling, and was much stronger than the river wind in the past few days.

Several unknown insects had landed on the sail at some point.

Meng Po saw it with her sharp eyes:
"Where do the bugs come from at this time of year?"

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Zhao Fusheng was alert, but his expression remained calm. He turned around and asked Ding Datong with a smile:

"How many days have we been traveling?"

"Sir, we have been walking for twenty-six days."

The journey was smooth, the weather was good, and the wind was smooth. Ding Datong flattered:

"I asked the captain Shao Er yesterday, and he said that he originally expected to reach Jin County in about a month, but because the trip went smoothly, he will arrive in two or three days at most."

"Two or three days..." Zhao Fusheng hesitated for a moment and asked Meng Po:
"How's the situation with Lu Zhuer?"

"Nothing weird."

Although the door god ghost seal and the red shoe ghost were in confrontation with each other, the Lu family was very frightened at the beginning, but they got used to it over time.

Anyway, the two ghosts didn't make any unusual movements. Just as Zhao Fusheng said at the beginning, as long as Lu Zhuer's life was saved, it didn't matter if they were strange.

"It's Chen Duozi's mother..." Meng Po said here and curled her lips.

"When I went to see Chen Duozi, I saw her several times instructing her youngest daughter to take the opportunity to find Lu Yuhe and persuade him to find a way to resolve the matter."

Meng Po looked down on Chen's mother:
"What solution can he have?"

When it comes to matters involving evil spirits, even the ghost handlers from the Demon Suppression Bureau dare not make any guarantees, let alone Lu Yu and an ordinary person.

"Chen Duozi is stuck in the middle, always being bullied by her mother." At this point, Meng Po changed the subject and continued:

"A few days ago, I saw her mother taking a bag of herbs to the kitchen, saying she was going to make a soup."

Zhao Fusheng looked into the distance. Thick clouds had appeared on the horizon. The dark clouds felt like oppressive pressure, and the breeze from the river was mixed with moisture.

Just as Ding Datong said, it's probably going to rain.

She was doing two things at once. On one hand, she looked at the gradually rising waves on the surface of the river, and on the other hand, she talked to Meng Po:

"What kind of medicine is being boiled?"

Meng Po said:
"They said they made it for their two daughters to nourish their bodies." She smiled.
"This old woman is so secretive and teasing, she doesn't even dare to look at me when she talks, how can she have any good intentions?" She complained:

"Nine times out of ten, it's a medicine for having a child."

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard two muffled thunder sounds coming from above their heads.

"Dong Lei?" Ding Datong was stunned and looked up.

Then there were flashes of lightning and thunder in the clouds, and the wind became stronger and stronger. In an instant, accompanied by the sound of muffled thunder, raindrops as big as beans began to fall.

'Crash--'

The rain was sparse at first, but gradually became heavier.

"oops."

Meng Po exclaimed and pulled Zhao Fusheng and Kuai Manzhou into the cabin.

The sky darkened almost instantly, and someone on the boat suddenly exclaimed:

"Why is it getting dark so fast?"

"It's raining? Light the lanterns, light the lanterns."

……

As he was shouting, the wind and waves started to grow stronger, the boat was shaking, waves rolled up on both sides, and a torrent of water rushed into the boat.

"Be careful, sir."

Ding Datong shouted.

The boat was shaking more and more violently, but fortunately the people on board quickly lit the lanterns.

By this time, the sky had become completely dark. Looking out from the boat, one could no longer see the banks of the river. All one could see was darkness outside.

Meng Po took out two handkerchiefs from somewhere and handed them to Zhao Fusheng to wipe his head.

Zhao Fusheng said calmly:

"Call all the ghost handlers from the Demon Suppression Division here. Mengpo, go and bring the Lu family here as well, especially Lu Zhuer."

When she said this, Meng Po and Ding Datong were both stunned.

The two were not fools, and they understood the hidden meaning in her words:
"Do you think something bad will happen tonight?"

"It's not necessarily a problem, it's just a feeling—"

Zhao Fusheng said calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Kuai Manzhou's pupils began to bleed, and the blood quickly spread to her entire eyeball.

The child looked towards the cabin door not far away.

Following her gaze, the three adults stopped talking and looked over.

I saw a strange lantern hanging under the eaves of the cabin.
