I become a god in another world

Chapter 403: Possibility of Controlling Ghosts
Chapter 403
Liu Yizhen's words stunned everyone in Wan'an County.

Wu Shaochun, who was controlling the stove ghost, turned his head, and the ghost stove immediately went out of control. Mist suddenly gushed out of the bubbling pot, pushing open the lid, revealing a curled up evil ghost inside.

The ghost stretched out a torn hand and grabbed Zhang Chuanshi who was standing by the stove.

Zhang Chuanshi was horrified.

Meng Po was turning her head to look in Wu Shaochun's direction, but the moment the stove ghost in the pot revived, she casually lifted the lid and pressed it back into the pot.

Blood glowed in her hands, completely suppressing the disaster-level stove ghost.

Zhang Chuanshi was alarmed for a false alarm. He wiped the cold sweat from his head and was about to remind Meng Po to be more careful - but before he spoke, he looked at Meng Po's face. The old woman turned her head towards Liu Yizhen and others, listening attentively, her ears moving.

Her complexion was slightly darker, and her eyebrows and wrinkles on her face seemed to be glowing with dark red blood, which made her look very evil.

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi knew the situation and swallowed back the complaint that was about to come out of his mouth.

He couldn't afford to offend Meng Po, so he turned around and bullied the honest people:
"Shaochun, be careful. What if the ghost catches me?"

Wu Shaochun came to his senses quickly after being scolded by him. He saw that the liquid inside the pot was boiling fiercely, and the evil spirit was hitting the lid, making a "clang clang" sound.

But no matter how the ghost energy attacked, there was always a layer of faint red light lingering on the pot lid, which suppressed the ghost energy firmly.

"I'm sorry, Master Zhang. I, I——"

"it's okay no problem."

Meng Po laughed twice. Zhang Chuanshi dared not speak out, but could only mutter in a low voice:
"You're fine. The ghost caught me, not you—"

The sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Meng Po pretended not to hear his complaints. Zhang Chuanshi felt annoyed and resigned himself to sitting in front of the stove, waiting for Meng Po to boil the medicine.

……

On the other side, after Liu Yizhen finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the ghost coffin in front of him.

The ghost coffin was now empty.

Liu Yizhen appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually unable to calm down inside.

Last night, Paper Man Zhang caused a big disturbance on the ship transporting the ghost fetus, causing a ghost disaster to break out. He lost control of the ghost coffin in this ghost case, causing the ghost fetus to escape from the suppression of the ghost coffin.

At that time, it was a matter of life and death, and Liu Yizhen had no time to think about it.

But now that he was out of danger, he felt burning in his stomach whenever he thought about it.

The ghost coffin was a very dangerous object that his grandfather had obtained in the past. It was used to suppress super-large ghosts of the calamity level, such as the headless ghost.

When it was in his grandfather's hands, the ghost coffin was decomposed, but nothing serious happened. But after it fell into his hands, such a mistake occurred. It was simply a loss for the ancestor of the Liu family!
Since he joined the Demon Suppression Division, although he nominally participated in the handling of the Shilipo Ghost Case, he did not contribute much from beginning to end.

In the Shilipo ghost case, even Zhang Chuanshi saved everyone's life in the ghost village clan school.

He finally found himself useful in this ghost fetus case, but before he reached his destination, the coffin containing the ghost fetus was forcibly opened and the ghost fetus inside disappeared.

This was a great humiliation for Liu Yizhen!
"It's hard to say—"

Zhao Fusheng did not directly answer Liu Yizhen's question. As soon as she opened her mouth, Liu Yizhen rolled his eyes. The corners of Zhao Fusheng's mouth twitched:
"I just doubt it."

Since he had already said it, Zhao Fusheng simply stopped hiding it and said bluntly:
"It's impossible for a ghost to disappear without a reason."

Judging from Paper Man Zhang's personality, destroying the seal of the ghost coffin and allowing the ghost fetus to escape is most likely part of his plan.

So after the ghost fetus escapes, if the evil ghost does not immediately revive and kill people, it is likely that it is temporarily dormant.

But ghosts have no reason at all, so there are two possibilities for this kind of dormancy.

One is consistent with the situation in Guangci Temple that day - someone has become the host of a ghost fetus.

According to the experience shared by Ding Datong and others, a living person will die instantly the moment he is possessed by a ghost.

After a period of time, the living body will become the living dead, and its actions and behaviors will be the same as when it was alive, but the physical body will also show some characteristics of the dead.

This situation will continue until the ghost fetus is born. After the ghost fetus is born, the evil ghost will immediately revive, and the host body will turn into rotten mud in an instant.

“But this only happens to women.”

Women have the innate law of pregnancy that can trap the ghost fetus within a certain time limit, while men will die the moment they are possessed by the ghost fetus.

Ding Datong mentioned the circumstances of the death when the Guangci Temple ghost case broke out.

"When the ghost disaster broke out on the ship, although we were disrupted by the appearance of Paper Man Zhang, and some people died tragically at the hands of the Red Shoe Ghost and Shen Yishu, no one died in the ghost fetus case."

After hearing this, Liu Yizhen nodded and motioned Zhao Fusheng to continue.

Zhao Fusheng said helplessly:
"If the ghost fetus does not immediately kill people, it proves that the ghost has not revived."

Liu Yizhen said:

"It's natural. It's restrained by the big ghost."

"..."

Zhao Fusheng hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

Liu Yizhen saw her hesitation and felt something in his heart:
"Am I wrong?"

"Not really." Zhao Fusheng shook his head and said hesitantly:

"But I suspect that the ghost fetus may not be the real ghost disaster."

"What does this mean?" Liu Yizhen seemed to understand what was said.

Emotionally, he could vaguely sense that there was something else behind Zhao Fusheng's words, but this feeling was like looking at the moon through a veil. Without breaking the veil, he could never quite grasp the truth.

"Perhaps the ghost fetus is just the appearance of this ghost disaster."

When Zhao Fusheng said this, Liu Yizhen immediately reacted:
"Like the case of the red shoes ghost?"

Shen Yishu is involved in the red shoes ghost case.

If you treat this kind of ghost disaster only as a catastrophic ghost disaster, you will suffer a great loss if you are not careful.

"Correct."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

"But this is just my guess and may not be true." She waved her hand.

Although they said this, everyone felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Everyone knows Zhao Fusheng's character very well. She is not the kind of person who speaks without a purpose. Since she said so, the ghost fetus case can no longer be treated as an ordinary case.

"Anyway, no matter what, the ghost fetus escaped at that time, but did not revive. It should have found a host."

The host did not die in the ghost disaster at that time. In addition to the fact that the host was a woman - "There is another possibility," Zhao Fusheng said:
"Ghost rider."

In just a few words, she revealed her cautious nature and had considered almost all the possibilities of this ghost case.

Liu Yizhen was a little nervous:
"If that's the case, then there are many possible candidates related to the ghost fetus—"

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

At some point, Wu Shaochun sneaked over and sat next to Zhao Fusheng:
"Then why do you think Chen Duozi might be related to the ghost fetus case?"

“The first is feeling.”

Zhao Fusheng’s words stunned Wu Shaochun.

"Feeling?" He was a little bit unbelieving. Zhao Fusheng nodded:

“Feelings are important, too.”

For ghost riders, they walk on the edge of life and death at any time. The body's perception is no less important than the mind, and the fear of death allows the body to detect danger first - this is an instinctive intuition.

"The second is some clues and evidence."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fan Wujiu breathed a sigh of relief:

"I don't feel anything at all." "..." Zhang Chuansheng, who was pretending to make a fire in front of the stove, twitched his mouth and said nothing.

Zhao Fusheng pretended not to hear Fan Wujiu's words and said:

"After the ghost incident on the ship broke out, I summoned the troupe."

Liu Yizhen sighed:
"I understand."

He is a smart man, but he was not as calm as Zhao Fusheng at the time, so he missed some clues, but this does not mean that he is dull.

He sees everything, and if someone gives him a little guidance, he will understand the reason.

"What did he understand?"

Fan Wujiu turned and looked at Wu Shaochun.

Wu Shaochun suddenly realized and said:

"I remembered it too."

"Ghost show——"

Zhao Fusheng said:

"The Huangquan Opera Troupe performs for ghosts. Once the stage is set up, the rules are activated and the evil ghosts will be attracted to the troupe."

It is unlucky for humans to see ghost shows, but only ghosts will sit down and listen to the show.

When the troupe set up the stage, ghost riders like Ding Datong were influenced by the troupe and sat down involuntarily under the stage.

"When Lu Zhu'er's ghost revived, Chen Duozi was worried about her and followed her to the troupe."

If she was just worried about her daughter, she would have been fine with walking with a ghost, but she sat down anyway.

The ghost troupe's play is not that good to listen to. Once you sit down, you will die instantly.

But afterwards, Chen Duozi not only survived, but was still alive and well.

"Ugh--"

Zhao Fusheng sighed:

"Maybe something was wrong with her then."

She had already begun to suspect Chen Duozi at that time.

"I see." After listening to their discussion, Fan Wujiu finally understood the cause and effect.

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"I just called her over and touched her hand temperature. Although her body was cold, her veins were still there. She was not dead."

Liu Yizhen said:

"Then the possibility of controlling ghosts is high."

"Nine times out of ten."

Zhao Fusheng said:
"But everything is just speculation. No one can say for sure until the dust settles."

So she planned to let Chen Duozi go with Fan Da and Fan Xiao to buy some food in this strange rain.

In this way, if Chen Duozi was controlling a ghost fetus, the ghost fetus could easily kill the ghost driver who controlled the evil ghost long before it really erupted. Even if the ghost disaster in Dongping Village was bizarre, these ghosts were endless, but they were only small ghosts with 500 merit points...

Judging from the merit points, these evil spirits that were revived by the rain are not really evil spirits.

The Fan brothers were the twin brothers who were delivered by Zhao Duansheng after dissecting a living dead body. Their existence itself is a taboo, and even the ghost car cannot mark them. Letting these two brothers who are suspected to be related to the ghost fetus case travel with Chen Duozi is also to see if there will be any special reactions when the two are together.

"Your Excellency has made a very good arrangement." Wu Shaochun understood the reason and couldn't help but say:
"But just in case, I might as well go with you."

Just as Zhao Fusheng said, Chen Duozi's ghost-controlling was always just speculation.

But the ghost disaster in Dongping Village is real. If there are more ghost riders, they can help when something happens.

Before Zhao Fusheng could answer, Ding Datong came out from the other side.

He was covered in dust and was holding a wooden basin that was also covered in dust. Hu Rong, Tao Lifang and several other ghost riders followed behind him, all looking embarrassed.

As they came out, they happened to hear Wu Shaochun's words. Ding Datong quickly put the wooden basin under his armpit and asked:

"Where are you going, my Lord? Why don't you let me go?"

"We will be staying in Dongping Village for two days. We are afraid that we may not have enough food, so we plan to ask someone to buy some." As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Ding Datong immediately reacted and turned his head:
"Zhong Yao——"

"No need." Zhao Fusheng shook his head:

"I plan to let Big Fan, Little Fan and Chen Duozi go."

"Chen Duozi?!"

Ding Datong was the lord of a county after all. When he heard what Zhao Fusheng said, he immediately guessed that there was something wrong with Chen Duozi.

His eyes fell on Liu Yizhen's empty coffin, and his expression changed slightly, as if he thought of something.

"Then, I'll go."

Ding Datong hesitated for a moment, but pretended to hand the wooden basin in his hand to Hu Rong behind him.

He had just been given the ghost seal by Zhao Fusheng, and his condition was more stable than ever before.

Now that he had guessed the truth, he wanted to return the favor, so he volunteered.

"Need not."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"It's not appropriate for you to go on this matter. I plan to let Man Zhou go with you."

"..." Zhao Fusheng's words were not very polite, but Ding Datong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was really a little scared of the ghost.

"Manzhou, go shopping with Chen Duozi and the others." Zhao Fusheng said.

The child didn't say anything, Zhao Fusheng coaxed her:

"I'll buy you some candied haws when we get back to the county."

Kuai Manzhou then stretched out her hand, and Zhao Fusheng made a pinky promise with her, knowing that the little girl agreed.

Not long after, Chen Duozi and her daughter, who had changed their clothes, came out. Lu Pan'er, who was following Lu Yuhe, quickly stood up and wanted to walk towards her mother.

Zhao Fusheng called the young men from Dongping Village and explained his plan.

When the boy heard that she wanted to buy some food, his eyes lit up:
"Sir, Dongping Village is under the jurisdiction of Huangma Town. It is seven or eight miles away from here. It takes more than half a day to go back and forth. It is raining now. You are not familiar with the road. Why don't I lead you there?"

"Row."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Then you lead the way."

When the people of Dongping Village in the distance heard this, they looked timid.

The ghosts outside had been causing trouble for as long as the rain had been falling. The villagers were terrified of rain. This young man was so bold that he actually offered to follow these people out.

It's crazy!

The villagers thought that the boy was looking for death, but life was difficult these days and no one spoke out.

The Demon Suppression Division buying its own food did reduce the burden on the villagers, and no one objected.

When the young man heard Zhao Fusheng's agreement, he said happily:
"Sir, after this is over, can I also join the Demon Suppression Division?"

"You want to come in too?" Zhao Fusheng was a little surprised, then he looked at the young man and said with a smile:
"Do you know what the Demon Suppression Division is? How dare you enter?"

"I know! Tax collectors..." He said this quickly, then felt embarrassed and said quickly:
"In addition to collecting taxes, we also collect ghosts."

“I also want to join the Demon Suppression Division and help exorcise ghosts in the future. If I had been in the Demon Suppression Division before, when the ghost disaster happened in Dongping Village, maybe I could have persuaded the adults in the division’s mansion, so that my parents, brothers and sisters would not have died—” He felt a little sad at the end, with tears accumulating in his eyes, and he was about to cry again.
