I become a god in another world

Chapter 42
Chapter 42

Since the young man is so sure, he must have his reasons.

Today, Zhao Fusheng himself is like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river. He cannot protect himself and has no extra time to care about such noisy matters.

She gave up on getting to the bottom of things, and her first goal was to solve the ghost case in Beggar Alley.

"Well, since you said that the ghost case from 40 years ago will not be reopened again, I believe you and will ignore it for the time being. However, the ghost in the beggar alley still has to find a way to solve it."

"There is no way." The young man shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Fusheng was stunned and asked.

"You are too late."

'well. The young man sighed with regret. When Zhao Fusheng heard this, an unknown fire jumped up in his heart.

She immediately turned her face and cursed:

"What the hell are you talking about! Why am I late?"

After she was reborn, she opened the list of gods. She didn't even deal with the funeral of the original owner's parents, but ran around the case non-stop. She broke into the begging alley while it was still dark, and didn't even bother to ask the aunt at the intersection to invite her to drink soup.

"That was not what I meant--"

The young man was scolded by her and saw her ugly face. He was startled for a moment, and then explained:

"I mean, the ghost realm has been formed and it's very difficult to break it."

He considered it for a moment and said:

"The ghosts here have reached the evil level and are not easy to deal with. I think you can also see that the rules for killing ghosts are based on the list of porridge here."

Zhao Fusheng acquiesced to his words, then remembered the reminder from the gods when giving alms last night, and asked:

"That 'one roster'?"

"What's a register'?" The young man frowned and was a little confused about the name. Zhao Fusheng said:

"The book I put in your hand last night."

"A list?" The young man murmured:
"The name is a bit weird, but it's not a roster -" He said this, thoughtfully, and nodded:

"Yes."

"Actually, that is the alms book left by my grandfather during his lifetime -" When he said this, he glanced at Zhao Fusheng, with a look of regret on his face.

"Go on." Zhao Fusheng had a bad feeling in his heart. Hearing her urging, the young man sighed again and said:
"Over the years, every person who has received porridge from the Confucius Temple has been recorded."

Hearing this, Zhao Fusheng seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.

The young man said again:

"After the evil ghosts here revived, the ghost realm enveloped this place. The evil ghosts will kill people according to the roster. This is an unsolvable situation."

When he said this, Zhao Fusheng vaguely understood his intention.

Based on what she had seen of several ghost-solving cases in the past, there were two solutions to this situation.

"There are two ways to solve this ghost disaster." Soon, the young man said what she was thinking:
"Either the generals of the imperial court who control the great ghosts take action to drive away the evil spirits, or -" At this point, he paused, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Zhao Fusheng continued what he had not finished saying:

"Either let the evil ghost kill all the people on the list, and it will naturally leave this place."

When she pointed out her plan bluntly, the young man nodded calmly:

"...Yes." After saying that, he added:
"After this incident, I will no longer give away porridge and water. I will put an end to the Confucius Temple matter for the time being, and this evil ghost will not appear again."

In this way, the problem of Confucius Temple will naturally be solved.

——In fact, this solution has always been one of the main solutions used by the Demon Suppression Division to deal with ghost disasters. Ordinary people’s lives are worthless, and people who have killed enough ghosts will naturally disappear here.

When the young man mentioned two solutions, Zhao Fusheng had already guessed his plan.

But when she actually heard him say these words and talk about the life and death of these people so lightly, there was still an unknown fire in her heart.

Fan Bisheng always said that human life is like grass at this time. We are born in this world and live one day at a time.

She couldn't understand it when she heard it, and she still found it incredible.

The strong people in this world regard human life as an ant, and the weak people will consider themselves unlucky even if they lose their lives due to calculations.

Zhao Fusheng was unhappy and reminded lightly:

"There are at least hundreds of people left here."

The vast area of ​​Begging Alley shows how wealthy the Liu family was back then.

After being besieged for more than a month, there are still hundreds of survivors who were massacred by the ghosts. You can imagine the number of people in the begging alley.

During the time they were trapped in the ghost realm, countless innocent people suffered at the hands of evil spirits.

The more Zhao Fusheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his tone gradually became harsh:

"And even if, as you said, all the people in the ghost domain of Beggar Alley are killed, where will the evil ghost go after killing the people here?"

The young man couldn't help but be stunned when she accused her so harshly.

He had been living in the Confucius Temple before and had not spent much time dealing with the Demon Suppressor, but he had also heard about the reputation of the Demon Suppressor.

Generally speaking, most of the commanders of the Demon Suppression Division are ghost controllers. Those who control fierce ghosts are influenced by the ghosts, have sinister and cruel temperaments, behave like "ghosts", and regard human life as nothing.

But at this time, Zhao Fusheng seemed to be different from the rumored Ghost Controlling Commander.

He recalled that the two met for the first time last night. She was active in thinking and responsive. After being framed and her name was included in the alms book, and she might become the target of a ghost, she did not become angry because of it, and then relied on the power of the ghost to massacre innocent people. common people.

After Li Gui killed someone, she went out early in the morning to look for him, which shows her extraordinary courage.

After a conversation after meeting, the young man felt that she was calm, controlled and alert.

If she hadn't claimed to be the head of the Demon Suppression Command and controlled the devil, the young man wouldn't have believed that she was someone who coexisted with ghosts.

The most important thing is that she is polite and capable. When she heard him mention the ghost disaster in Begging Alley, she even felt angry because innocent civilians were massacred by evil spirits——

In other words, even if the head of the Demon Suppression Department controls ghosts, she is not only able to stay awake, but is even compassionate.

For the first time, the young man's face lost its calmness and calmness. He stared at Zhao Fusheng with some curiosity and asked her:
"Are you really the one who controls ghosts?"

The person who controls the ghost is moody and loses his humanity, which is completely different from her behavior.

And if she didn't control the ghosts and this place was dangerous, how could she dare to enter alone?

Zhao Fusheng ignored his boring question, but when he saw him talking about other things, he felt even more unhappy and couldn't help but shouted:
"Don't talk about it!"

As a person who controls ghosts, she had been chatting and laughing with him before, but now she was scolding him sternly, with a bit more dignity than the head of the Demon Suppression Commander.

The young man lowered his eyes and replied:
"Perhaps we will leave here and look for other survivors who have been on the list-"

Confucius Temple was built 40 years ago.During these 40 years, Confucius Temple has received countless donations.

Not only beggars, but also merchants and passers-by who have passed through this place in the early years will most likely have their names registered in the register as long as they receive a bowl of porridge from the Confucius Temple.

At that time, the people who received the porridge and took their names didn't think much about it at all. To these people, they might just come because of the Liu family's name, conveniently took a bowl of porridge and water, and then left their names.

These people may have forgotten about it after eating porridge and leaving their names, but they don't know that their unintentional behavior many years ago may very well lead to disaster.

And the murderous rules of this beggar alley are not to kill only one person, but to kill mainly "one family".

Once wandering out of the begging alley, the lethality of this vicious ghost cannot be underestimated.

The most important thing is the advancement of ghost killing.

The young man himself also mentioned that after more than a month of hunting and killing, the evil ghosts in Beggar Alley had at least reached the evil level.

If this evil ghost is allowed to continue killing, it will inevitably have to advance. Once it advances again, how will the ghost disaster be solved in the future?
We must not let this situation get worse!
For the first time, Zhao Fusheng felt a sense of faith in his heart, and finally understood what was mentioned in the list of gods: 'The host is the commander of the Demon Suppressing Division and is responsible for the safety of the county. He should fulfill his duties and protect the peace of the people. 'That's the point.

Fan Bisheng mentioned lightly that as long as ghost trouble leaves his territory, it will cause headaches for others.

If there is a ghost disaster that cannot be solved by various prefectures and counties, the imperial court will be left bald, and the imperial court cannot solve it, so the people will be left to fend for themselves.

When Fan Bisheng said this, Zhao Fusheng had no actual feeling.

But last night she witnessed a murderous ghost and a human life disappearing with her own eyes. The shock was far beyond what a few light words could convey.

This fierce ghost must not be allowed to advance and escape!

"How can that be done?" She said coldly.

"Other ghost disasters in the past were also solved in this way -" the young man was not embarrassed by her accusation, but said very calmly.

Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:
"I don't know how other people handle the case. I'll see if there is any way to solve this ghost disaster tonight."

After she said this, the young man was a little surprised at first, and then smiled slightly.

He did not comment on Zhao Fusheng's words, and obviously did not believe that she, the newly appointed head of the order, could deal with the evil spirits in the beggar alley.

Although he did not refute verbally, Zhao Fusheng could sense his disapproval, but she did not argue with him on this matter.

She changed the subject and suddenly asked again:

"By the way, what's your name?"

After talking about the business, Zhao Fusheng suddenly remembered a serious problem.

When she asked, her hand involuntarily touched her waist and touched the jade book.

A cold feeling crawled up her fingertips and up her palms. In an instant, her hands became cold and numb. It must be that the ghost charm in the soul book sensed her movements and climbed towards her wrist.

But soon, that feeling faded away like a tide.

The young man was unaware of her plan and replied after hearing the words:
"My name is Liu Yizhen."

"Liu?"

Zhao Fusheng captured the specialness of his surname and asked:

"Are you also a descendant of a branch of the Liu family?"

The file mentioned that after the Liu family's accident, Liu Huacheng immediately sold his property and moved his family out of Wan'an County.

But she didn't expect that the person Liu Huacheng stayed to guard the Confucius Temple was also named Liu, and was most likely a blood descendant of the Liu clan back then.

However, after learning the young man's surname, she felt that there was no problem with Liu Huacheng's arrangement.

After all, the Confucius Temple can continue to donate for 40 years. Even if the donation is only thin porridge with little water, the time is long enough. Over the years, the donation fee is not a small amount.

Such a windfall is naturally more reliable in one's own hands than in the hands of outsiders.

However, Zhao Fusheng still has a doubt in his mind: the matter of the Confucius Temple is less about money and people's hearts. After all, it is about suppressing evil spirits. What kind of descendants of the Liu family are so loyal to Liu Huacheng's orders? Execution, not filling your own pockets out of greed, not taking money and running away out of fear, but staying here for 40 years?

Such a person attaches great importance to promises and sticks to his word. With this kind of character, it is not too much to call him a saint in this world.

As soon as the doubts in her heart arose, Liu Yizhen nodded:

"Yes--"

Zhao Fusheng still had some doubts about the authenticity of his words, but she also had her own way of identifying them.

Thinking of this, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and the anger of knowing the cause and effect of the ghost disaster, and took out the jade book from her arms again with a smile:

"So, don't you see that my name is recorded in your destiny book?"

She thought that her name had been registered in the fate book last night, and that the evil ghost was claiming lives based on people's names. Although Zhao Fusheng was not afraid of itching when there were too many lice, and he was not worried about having too many debts, after all, this thing was always related to the evil ghost, she The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I always felt that I had to find a way to balance and control this situation.

"..." Liu Yizhen stared at her, seemingly not understanding the meaning of her words.

Zhao Fusheng sneered in his heart, regardless of whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and handed the soul book to him:
"I see that you have extraordinary qualifications. You were able to dare to enter and exit even though the begging alley was haunted that day—"

Liu Yizhen explained:

"When I went in and out, the ghost realm had not yet formed."

"That's not important. Anyway, you stayed in the ghost realm, and you dared to insist on serving rice porridge when the evil ghosts were traveling. You are brave and resourceful. I knew at a glance that you are the talent our court is looking for."

"..."

Liu Yizhen's lips moved, but he made no sound.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and reached out to grab his wrist:
"Come and join our Demon Suppression Division. We have many positions now, and we need young people like you to join us, so that you can use your talents and show your ambitions."

"And after joining the job, if you make meritorious service in the future, the court will not treat you badly. If the court rewards you based on your merits in the future, I will never take credit for it. What is yours is yours!"

Liu Yizhen subconsciously put his hand back.

Zhao Fusheng's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes became colder:

"You also know what's going on with the ghost trouble in Begging Alley. It's related to the Liu family. It's best for us to solve this trouble together."

She made up her mind to recruit Liu Yizhen to join her gang, how could she let him refuse:

"It would be best if we could reach a consensus. We are all civilized people. It is not my intention to do anything."

She lengthened her tone and looked at Liu Yizhen with a smile:

"but--"

"You misunderstood." Liu Yizhen heard her say this, smiled slightly, and said seriously:

"We are indeed at fault in this matter."

He said:
"You're right. I should clean up the aftermath of this matter and join the Demon Suppression Division. If I can atone for my sins, that's fine. It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I have some unfinished business at the moment and I can't go back to the Demon Suppression Division with you for the time being. middle."
