I become a god in another world

Chapter 389 The war is about to begin
Chapter 389

Zhao Fusheng's expression suddenly changed.

Ding Datong's attention was not on the lantern at first, but was always on Zhao Fusheng's every move. When he saw Zhao Fusheng's pupils shrink and his fists clenched, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

His mentality changed, and he looked at the lanterns more seriously again.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that the lantern was indeed different from ordinary lanterns.

The surface of the lantern is light pink and has a delicate texture. When the light shines through it, it looks like the delicate and flawless skin of a young girl.

Human skin!

As soon as this thought came into Ding Datong's mind, his heartstrings suddenly tightened.

"grown ups--"

Ding Datong said in a bitter voice:

"This, this lantern——"

Although ship lanterns are generally made with exquisite workmanship, it is impossible to use human skin to make them. If human skin is used, it means that the lantern is weird.

But how did someone take advantage of this loophole?
This trip was of vital importance, and he had screened the people on board repeatedly. Who would hang such a strange lantern on the bow at this stage?
"Manzhou, who hung him up?" Zhao Fusheng suppressed his fluctuating emotions and turned around to ask Kuai Manzhou.

The little girl looked at the ghost lantern and answered:
"ghost."

While they were talking, they saw a little fire outside.

The firelight swayed in the darkness, as if flying in the air, slowly approaching the crowd bit by bit.

As the flames got closer, Zhao Fusheng, Meng Po and Kuai Manzhou stopped talking.

A depressing, dull and weird atmosphere quickly spread, and Ding Datong subconsciously held his breath.

At this moment, he smelled a faint smell at the tip of his nose - like a faint stench of decay.

The smell was like a long, thin feather, gently stirring his heart and making him feel restless. A bloody and violent impulse grew in his heart, making him want to walk into the fire and kill someone to vent his anger.

"..." As soon as this impulsive thought came out, Ding Datong, who was experienced in controlling ghosts, realized that something was wrong.

He was the lord of a county, with a calm and cautious temperament. It was obvious that he was influenced by ghosts to have such thoughts.

Although Ding Datong's ghost state was not absolutely stable, it was not on the verge of revival. The sudden and violent emotional outburst at this moment was obviously affected by external factors.

The only weird thing was the lantern that was gradually approaching.

Ding Datong felt very uneasy, but when he glanced at Zhao Fusheng out of the corner of his eye, he felt a little relieved.

Just then, the light came closer.

In the light of the lantern on the bow, Ding Datong could see clearly that it was not a fire flying in the air, but a figure holding a lantern gradually approaching.

The man was wearing a short grey jacket, thick black trousers, a sweat towel tied around his waist, and a thick scarf of the same colour as his clothes on his head. He had a sad face and was about sixty years old.

The man staggered forward, his body swaying in the cold wind, as if he was not walking steadily. He held a brand new, snow-white lantern in his hand, which formed a sharp contrast with his gray appearance.

When Ding Datong saw his face, the breath that was held in his throat suddenly relaxed:
"Feng Ertong, you're freaking scaring me to death—"

After he finished shouting, he turned to Zhao Fusheng and said:
"Sir, this is a servant of the Demon Suppression Department—"

Ding Datong looked relieved.

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Fusheng's voice interrupted him. She said to Meng Po:
"Meng Po, take action."

"..." Ding Datong was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhao Fusheng didn't hear him clearly. When he was about to repeat himself, Meng Po had already made his move.

This was not the first time that Ding Datong saw Meng Po take action, but this time the evil spirit on Meng Po was much stronger than when she was in the Changping County Demon Suppression Bureau.

The moment the ghost lantern appeared, Meng Po knew of the existence of Paper Man Zhang.

The disappearance of her daughter Shen Yishu 43 years ago was suspected to be related to this person. This person was vicious and had far-reaching plans, and he had a great hatred for her.

The hardships and sufferings that Meng Po had experienced over the years turned into tremendous hatred, which aroused her inner resentment.

A blood-red mist escaped from Meng Po, and a red moon rose slowly into the sky.

The evil spirit transformed from Meng Po's suffering has condensed into solid blood beads, covering the surroundings.

Under the light of the blood moon, the roof of the cabin melted silently, and dense blood beads quickly condensed on the surface of Ding Datong's body.

The gathering of these blood beads made him feel terrible pressure, and the evil spirit he controlled immediately went dormant.

"The moon turned red—"

Someone screamed from somewhere behind the boat.

The blood moon rose above his head, and where the moonlight shone, Ding Datong saw that Feng Ertong's body began to change strangely.

The lantern in his hand disappeared instantly.

Instead, a cluster of fire lit up at his head, illuminating his head.

The face that used to appear honest and reliable in Ding Datong's eyes unexpectedly looked extremely weird when illuminated by the light.

"Master Ding, it suddenly got dark——"

Feng Ertong had not yet realized the severity of the problem. He hunched over, opened his lips and spoke.

Even though Ding Datong was also a ghost rider and had seen many terrifying scenes, when he witnessed all this, he was still extremely horrified and it was difficult to describe his feelings in words.

As Feng Ertong spoke, a faint smell of smoke escaped from his lips.

As the smoke spread, it turned into a faint stench.

The blood shone on his face, turning his thin skin red.

"Today's moon is so round..."

He sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the blood moon became the most terrible poison in the world to him.

Feng Ertong's facial skin was quickly corroded by the light of the blood moon, forming black spots. The spots spread and covered his entire face in an instant.

The pitch-black human skin fell to the ground like ashes after being burned out.

Its skull had been burned, and the remaining section of cervical vertebrae was like the wick of a candle connected to a ball of ghost fire.

Feng Ertong did not realize that he was dead. He was still making sounds and staggering towards the lantern hanging at the hatch.

The will-o'-the-wisp fire burned its cervical vertebrae at lightning speed, and every time it burned a piece of Feng Ertong's body, it became a little shorter.

In a moment, only a pair of legs were left of its body. When it walked into the light coverage of the ghost lantern, the pair of legs were completely burned, leaving only a pair of pitch-black feet, and the whole person disappeared from the spot.

"..."

Ding Datong witnessed this strange and bizarre scene with his own eyes, and was shocked and horrified.

The horror is not just that.

Feng Ertong was just the beginning. After it died, a large number of lights suddenly lit up in the darkness.

"Master Ding——"

"Lord Ding."

A series of shouts rang out on the boat, some high and some low, forming a strange rhythm with the sound of the waves and heavy rain, which scared Ding Datong to death.

"Master Ding——"

"Lord Ding."

……

Just as Ding Datong was panicking, the sound of heavy footsteps rang out.

The sound of footsteps interrupted the ups and downs of the shouting rhythm, and Ding Datong's tense heartstrings immediately relaxed.

He turned around and saw people from Wan'an County's Demon Suppression Bureau rushing over.

"Sir, I, I don't dare to call the Lu family--" Ding Datong gritted his teeth and spoke when he saw the people from Wan'an County coming.

The incident happened too suddenly. Zhao Fusheng originally planned to ask him to call all the people from the Lu family and Changping County, but after experiencing the death of Feng Ertong and countless voices calling him outside, Ding Datong dared not leave Zhao Fusheng's side rashly.

He was deeply afraid that once he went out, he would be ambushed by others and end up like Feng Ertong.

But when he said this, Ding Datong didn't expect Zhao Fusheng to agree.

If he were in Zhao Fusheng's position, he would not allow anyone to go against his opinion.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng did not embarrass him, but instead instructed Kuai Manzhou:
"Man Zhou is calling for help."

"it is good."

The child responded.

As she spoke, Kuai Manzhou's body flew into the air, her long hair fluttering, and countless fine hairs turned into black smoke and stretched out, forming a huge net with her as the center in a blink of an eye.

Under the giant net, enchanting, crimson ghost flowers bloomed along the road.

Every time a flower blooms, a villager from the ghost village walks out and slowly walks into the shadows.

The group of evil spirits gradually left, and soon they brought people from Wan'an County, Changping County, the Feng family, and the servants on the ship here one after another.

"Ding Datong——"

"Ding Datong."

……

The shouts in different tones continued and seemed to be coming from all directions.

It was a dark and windy night, and the rain was getting heavier. The waves were rocking the boat as if it was playing with a toy.

All the people on the boat gathered here and heard the shouting and the sound of waves hitting the hull, the rain, and the wind, which formed a life-threatening tone.

"grown ups."

Wu Shaochun squeezed next to Zhao Fusheng and said in a deep voice:
"The ship is full of ghosts."

Zhao Fusheng glanced at Meng Po, and tears of blood flowed from Meng Po's eyes.

The blood moon was centered on her body and enveloped the surroundings.

Under the moonlight, the top of the cabin was completely destroyed, and everyone appeared in the center of the deck.

Not far from the crowd, a broken door frame of a cabin door still stood, with a snow-white and tender lantern hanging on it.

The light from the lantern formed a pale halo with a diameter of about half a meter, and Meng Po's blood moon could not shine into this place.

Outside the blood moon, you can vaguely see tiny specks of light and fire.

These lights and flames floated in the air, and a foul smell was emitted.

They seemed to be afraid of the blood moon and dared not approach, but they were also like moths, yearning for the ghost lanterns here.

So they had no choice but to shout Ding Datong's name while surrounding him.

"Don't worry." In this situation, Zhao Fusheng did not panic. She called Ding Datong:
“Datong.”

"Sir." Ding Datong's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to dodge and stepped forward quickly.

"I wonder what your orders are, sir?"

"Everyone who is still alive should be here now. First, count the people on board, and then check them one by one with the list of people on board that day to see how many people are in trouble."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished giving the order, Ding Datong felt relieved.

He responded and immediately went to take roll call.

"My Lord, what happened——"

"What happened—"

The Lu family was worried. Lu Yuhe was at a loss and asked questions repeatedly, but no one answered him.

When Zhang Chuansheng from Wan'an County saw the ghost lantern hanging on the door frame, his face turned pale but he did not say a word.

Fan Bi Si was also named.

There were a total of eight people involved in the ghost fetus case in Wan'an County. When Kuai Manzhou used evil spirits to clear the way for people, they had all arrived here.

In Changping County, Ding Datong brought a total of four ghost riders, and eight people including Yu Ping, his messengers, and 46 miscellaneous workers and servants on the ship.

There were a total of 12 people in the Lu family, including family members and servants.

That is to say, there were a total of 79 people on board the ship when it set sail.

At this time, all the survivors were here. Ding Datong called the roll and found that there were only 61 people left.

The more he pointed, the more uneasy he became. After comparing them one by one, he found that the number of people in Wan'an County was intact, and the ghost riders in Changping County were also fine.

On the contrary, the envoy of Changping County who could not control ghosts lost one person. Among the Lu family members who were traveling with him, Lu Yuhe's brother-in-law and a servant were nowhere to be found. The people who suffered the most accidents were those on the boat.

Perhaps they were killed because they walked around and started fires in the sudden dark and rainy weather.

"A total of 18 people are missing."

While Ding Datong was speaking, the shouting outside continued.

Zhao Fusheng felt heavy in his heart when he heard this.

She turned her head and looked around, and most of the remaining living people had fear in their eyes.

They didn't know what was going on, but seeing Meng Po's condition and the blood moon in the distance was enough to make these ordinary people scared to death.

Everyone huddled together, trembling.

Before Paper Man Zhang actually showed up, he had already taken more than a dozen lives.

Compared with Paper Man Zhang, although she has many ghost riders under her command, she also has many burdens.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at the survivors and his eyes fell on Lu Zhuer - she was still intact, with two ghosts following her in front and behind, and her body was firmly held on both sides by two women of different ages.

These are Lu Zhuer’s aunt and grandmother.

Perhaps the "two guardians" mentioned by Zhang Chuanshi that day influenced the two women. They did not allow Chen Duozi to get close. They guarded Lu Zhuer on the left and right, hoping that the evil spirit following her would protect her.

"Shaochun, you guard these people, and Fan Da, Second Brother and Yizhen will guard the ghost coffin together."

After she finished speaking, she shouted again:
"Jiang Ying, Tao Lifang, the two of you stay by Lu Zhuer's side."

As soon as she finished giving the order, Jiang Ying and Tao Lifang responded immediately and walked to Lu Zhuer's side without hesitation.

"Zhong Yao, Hu Rong, Ding Datong, the three of you stand in front and behind Yi Zhenshen."

Liu Yizhen was stunned when he heard this, and simply grabbed the ghost coffin tightly.

"Yes!"

Wu Shaochun responded, and then the power of the evil ghost unfolded, and a ghost stove appeared out of thin air.

Ghostly flames ignited in the stove with a bang, and a white smoke slowly rose from above the boiler, enveloping the Lu family and the survivors on the boat.

Ding Datong's palms were sweating, and he and Zhong Yao and Hu Rong stood behind and on the left and right of Liu Yizhen respectively.

Once the battle was set, Zhao Fusheng didn't waste any more time. She said to Zhang Chuanshi:
"Lao Zhang, it's a dark and windy night, and the boat is wrecked. You just need to keep an eye on it and keep the rudder steady."

Zhang Chuanshi was stunned for a long while, and finally said in a deep voice:

"My Lord, I will obey you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng shouted:
"Do it!"

Her words were like a signal.

The blood moon above Meng Po's head sank, and blood slowly flowed down from the moon, dripping onto the ghost lantern in front of the door frame.
