I become a god in another world

Chapter 43 The Frightening Truth

Chapter 43

Liu Yizhen's reaction was slightly beyond Zhao Fusheng's expectations.

Once you enter the Demon-Suppressing Division, it means you have to enter the Soul Book of Life, and you will be trapped in Wan'an County from now on, unable to escape.

Liu Yizhen was born as a descendant of the Liu clan, and he was quite familiar with the situation of the Suppressing Demon Division.

But at this time, as soon as he heard his request, he immediately agreed - this was obviously not in line with common sense.

Usually humans have a purpose for doing things.

Joining an organization like the Demon Suppressing Division is either profitable or, like Zhang Chuanshi, one is coerced. Compromising is the best choice when desperate.

But neither of these situations applies to Liu Yizhen.

This man keeps company with ghosts, holds a book of fate, and can store porridge in the ghost realm. Surviving for such a long time shows that he is quite capable.

Anything abnormal is a demon——

Zhao Fusheng was dubious about his attitude, but pretended to be disapproving and said:
"It's okay." She held the jade book and said with a smile:
"You can add your soul and destiny book first, and after you finish your business here, you can come back to the Demon Suppression Department to report to me."

Anyway, her purpose is only to use the Soul Book of Fate to control the Fate Book. As for whether Liu Yizhen is really willing to work for the Demon Suppression Division, that is a follow-up matter, and she will talk about it first.

"Okay-" Liu Yizhen nodded without thinking.

This thing went really smoothly.

Zhao Fusheng frowned.

Liu Yizhen seems to be not only a fool, but also extremely smart.

He stayed here for more than a month after the incident in Begging Alley, and he was always safe. This shows that this person is quite courageous and has some experience in dealing with ghosts.

This person should know how scary the ghost is, and he should also understand what consequences he will face if he joins the Demon Suppression Division.

She originally thought that it would take a lot of words and words to convince him to enter the soul book, and she even prepared to use coercion and inducement, but she did not expect that as soon as she made the suggestion, he would agree without hesitation.

His cheerful attitude made Zhao Fusheng suspect that he was trying to deal with him.

"——But not at this time."

Liu Yizhen said.

He was right to say so.

Zhao Fusheng held the soul book and couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then asked him:
"So when do you think the time is right?"

"After the matter in the begging alley is resolved." Liu Yizhen looked at Zhao Fusheng calmly:
"You are holding the Book of Souls and Fate, so there is no doubt about your identity. However, you claim to control the devil, but your strength is still unknown."

He said bluntly:
"We are in a ghost realm. Now that you are on the list of serious ghosts, it is still unclear whether you can escape this ghost disaster. I cannot rashly bet the future on this moment."

What he meant was simple. Zhao Fusheng had to demonstrate his ability to convince him in dealing with the ghost disaster before he would be willing to join the Demon Suppression Division.

And if Zhao Fusheng died in a beggar alley, the agreement between the two would naturally come to nothing.

After saying this, he glanced at Zhao Fusheng and said:
"Don't worry, since I promised, I will never go back on it."

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and then happily put away the list:

"Row."

She knows people very well, and she can tell at a glance that Liu Yizhen has a strong temperament and is not someone who will compromise easily after being threatened.

Although she is indeed controlling ghosts, she knows that the power of the ghosts she controls can only be used once at most, and she cannot let her temper use the power of the ghosts for fighting spirit.

The two sides initially reached a certain consensus, Liu Yizhen said:

"In this case, I won't say more. I still have a lot of things to do."

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Zhao Fusheng, turned around and walked back in the direction of Confucius Temple.

"That's right." Before stepping into the shadows again, he paused and turned his head half way.

Half of Liu Yizhen's face was exposed in the pale light and shadow, while the other half was hidden in the darkness, which made his whole person feel separated from Zhao Fusheng:
"Don't step into Confucius Temple."

"Are there any ghosts in the temple?" Zhao Fusheng played with the book of souls and asked casually:
"there's a few?"

"..." Liu Yizhen didn't say anything, just smiled, then turned around and walked towards the threshold of the hall, his figure hidden in the darkness.

Without someone to talk to, the front of the Confucius Temple seemed empty and deserted.

Zhao Fusheng put the jade book into her lapel again. She glanced at the Confucius Temple and pondered for a moment.

The problem of begging alleys is serious.

"Alas—" she sighed.

Liu Yizhen reminded himself repeatedly not to step into the Confucius Temple, which showed that the situation inside the temple was extremely dangerous.

Although Liu Yizhen didn't answer her provocative question, his silence was the biggest answer.

Zhao Fusheng rubbed his brows with a headache, and his expression gradually became serious.

It is known that the headless ghost corpse that was decomposed 40 years ago was suppressed in Confucius Temple. This was the first ghost in Confucius Temple.

In order to suppress the resurrected headless ghost corpse, Su Long and Zhang Xiongwu artificially "invited" another ghost to create a balance between the two ghosts, so the Confucius Temple was able to maintain a superficial peace in the past 40 years.

The one who holds the balance in the middle is the key figure - Lao Miao Zhu.

This person is Liu Huacheng's confidant, who controls a large amount of property, guards this place for the Liu family, and does things to appease the ghosts.

Zhao Fusheng paid unusual attention to this old temple. This man knew a lot of secrets. Before his death, he probably knew that the ghost he 'invited' from the Confucius Temple would definitely revive after his death, so he sent his grandson to the Demon Suppressing Division. .

The headless ghosts and the beggar alley ghosts who kill according to the roster are supposed to restrict each other and form a perfect balance. As long as the balance is not broken, this situation should continue - unless the old temple Zhu is determined early in the morning that he will be balanced after his death. Must be broken.

Zhao Fusheng thought about it and found three possibilities to break the balance formed by the two evil-level ghosts:
First, the strength of one of the two evil ghosts may increase or decrease, and the levels of both parties are no longer equal, causing the balance to be broken.

Secondly, the power of the two evil ghosts was unbalanced, among which Lao Miaozhu's charity played a great role.

Third, one evil ghost disappears and another evil ghost wakes up.

Among the three conditions, the first condition was first rejected by Zhao Fusheng.

She didn't know much about the reasons for the formation of ghosts in this world, but the promotion of ghosts was not an easy task, and in order to weaken the ghosts, the only way to weaken the ghosts was to suppress or break them down - this condition was too difficult.The second condition is very likely, so Zhao Fusheng will not think about it for the time being.

As for the third point, the possibility is extremely slim.

After all, ghosts will not disappear for no reason. Based on her current limited understanding of ghosts, after the ghosts are revived, they will immediately form a ghost domain according to the grade of the ghost. Once the ghost domain is formed, the ghost will not disappear unless it kills a large number of evildoers. There is human intervention.

The situation in Wan'an County is like this now. The only one who can interfere with Li Gui is himself.

Therefore, Zhao Fusheng did not consider the third point.

After elimination, the second point is the most likely.

But Zhao Fusheng then remembered the conversation with Liu Yizhen.

The key point where the balance of the evil spirits was broken was the death of Lao Miao Zhu. She tentatively asked Liu Yizhen if the evil ghosts would revive after his grandfather died?The ghost in the beggar alley is his grandfather.

Liu Yizhen's answer was unusually subtle. He first answered 'yes', and then categorically denied it.

From his attitude and the current situation of Begging Alley, another possibility of breaking the original mutual restraint and balance between the two ghosts in Begging Alley emerged in Zhao Fusheng's mind: that is the fourth possibility - a third ghost appeared in Begging Alley.

——The ghost of Laomiao revived immediately after his death.

As soon as he turned into a ghost, the original balance between the headless ghost and the giving ghost was quickly broken, thus causing one of the ghosts to resurrect.

This can also be confirmed from Liu Yizhen's words. He said with great certainty: It is absolutely impossible for the headless ghost sealed by Su Long 40 years ago to be revived.

The reason why Liu Yizhen was so sure was precisely because he knew that Lao Miao Zhu had revived.

And he also mentioned that the ghost who gave alms was not his grandfather, so Zhao Fusheng concluded that after his death, Lao Miao Zhu became a fierce ghost with a rank no lower than that of an evil spirit. He checked and balanced with the sealed headless ghost corpse. The two ghosts formed a wonderful balance. Then there will be no abnormality.

At the same time, the Giving Ghost, who was originally restrained by the Headless Ghost, regained consciousness due to the loss of restraint, and this led to the ghost disaster in the Begging Alley.

(This can be proven by Liu Yizhen’s statement that the evil ghost in the beggar alley was originally related to the ghost case 40 years ago, but now the connection is not clear.)
A mere begging alley surrounding the Confucius Temple actually hid three big ghosts inside!
It was precisely because Zhao Fusheng realized this during the conversation with Liu Yizhen that her hair stood on end at that time.

Su Long also knew this when he solved the ghost disaster. The demon-suppressing commander 40 years ago had the ability to "invite" ghosts. Maybe he had foreseen 40 years ago that the old Miao Zhu would most likely turn into a monster after his death. Ghost, that's why he repeatedly reminded the successors of the Suppressing Demon Division in subsequent files: Don't set foot in the begging alley.

Once the ghost disaster breaks out in the Beggar Alley, three big ghosts are rampant. Even one powerful ghost is already so difficult to deal with. If the ghost controller with insufficient strength rashly goes deep into this place, it will definitely end in death.

"Ugh--"

Zhao Fu gave a long sigh.

She was just a newcomer to the Demon Suppressing Division and was forced to rush to the shelves. She didn't expect to face such a catastrophic problem.

But she had no way to retreat and had no choice but to move forward.

Her current plan is to drive away the evil spirits, save the people, earn merit points, and save her own life. This is her only chance of survival.

Zhao Fusheng pressed his eyebrows that were bouncing again and remembered Liu Yizhen's reminder: Don't step into the Confucius Temple.

This person has a deep mind and has other mysteries in his words.

Since this matter deserves his repeated reminders, it proves that there is something strange in the Confucius Temple.

After the death of Lao Miao Zhu, the begging ghost in the alley immediately revived, and the ghost realm enveloped the place. Judging from various circumstances, Lao Miao Zhu's body did not move after his death.

And he lived in Confucius Temple all his life, and after his death he could restrain each other from the headless ghosts who were sealed in the temple. It can be seen that Laomiaozhu was in Confucius Temple.

The truth is about to come out: there are at least two big ghosts above the evil level in Confucius Temple.

Under such circumstances, Liu Yizhen's reminder showed that he was particularly sincere and kind.

As soon as this thought came into Zhao Fusheng's mind, she couldn't help laughing.

A strange young man mentioned that the only way to solve ghost troubles was to rely on a large number of dead people. She actually felt that this person had sincere good intentions, which showed that there was a big problem with her mental state at this time.

However, the problem of Confucius Temple seems complicated and scary, but in fact the situation is not as bad as expected.

After all, there are two fierce ghosts currently in a sealed state, and Liu Yizhen is temporarily living among them. It can be seen that only the giving ghost is the most difficult problem at the moment.

Now that she has too much time to take care of herself, she naturally can't afford to wade into this muddy water anymore, so she can only focus on the evil ghosts who kill people by donating lists.

Therefore, after Zhao Fusheng figured this out, even without Liu Yizhen's reminder, she would never try to break into the temple to find out.

She planned to spend the next time wandering around this beggar alley to get a feel for the topography of the place.

If possible, it would be the best thing to find out the most likely hiding place of this ghost of giving.

Based on her observations last night and her conversation with Liu Yizhen, Zhao Fusheng determined its killing rules and the time of its appearance.

It shouldn't happen again during daylight hours - that is to say, daytime hours are an absolute safe zone for her.

As long as Zhao Fusheng walks around during the day before the charity starts, he should be fine.

After figuring out the route, it might be helpful for her to escape if she confronts the evil ghost.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng turned his head and looked around.

The road in front of the Confucius Temple is in the shape of a '丄'. There are alleys on both sides of the temple, hidden in the ghost mist, and the gate in the middle faces another path.

This land was the private land of the Liu family and was once the residence of the Liu family. Although the Liu family later withdrew from Wan'an County and donated their ancestral home and ancestral hall, this piece of land in the south of the city underwent certain renovations in the past 40 years. , but the basic pattern should not change much.

It was only after actually wandering around the Begging Alley that Zhao Fusheng discovered that the Begging Alley was much larger than she had imagined, with streets criss-crossing and connected to each other.

When entering this street for the first time, if you are not familiar with the terrain, you may easily get lost in this long street and alley.

However, after Zhao Fusheng turned around a few times, he found the rules for knowing the way.

The streets and alleys may seem chaotic, but in fact, the general layout has its own unique features. Except for some alleys that cross the main road, the main streets of the begging alley are laid out in a "Hui" shape.

The existence of Confucius Temple is similar to the position of the word "口" in the middle of "Hui". Other lanes, houses and shops are all renovated around this Confucius Temple.

Like the stars over the moon, it surrounds the Confucius Temple.

She relied on herself to control the ghosts, and she had the "ghost lantern" in hand. In addition, because daytime was the "safe period", whenever she went to a place, she would open the door of the shop along the street and look inside.

Part of the house was dilapidated and had been attacked by evil spirits, leaving behind corpses and pieces of flesh, with a stench that filled the nostrils; while another part had living people settling in, who were shocked, angry, and even a little overwhelmed by her arrival.

This move took Zhao Fusheng a lot of time, and she finally found nothing. She did not find anything useful in these houses, and she did not sense the presence of the ghost.

Where is the ghost hiding?
