I become a god in another world

Chapter 453: Ghost Messenger
Chapter 453

Fan Wujiu turned his head and looked around. Seeing that Fan Bisi and Liu Yizhen both looked thoughtful, he scratched his head unhappily and asked Wu Jizu, "Who could have guessed this?"

Wu Jizu was stunned for a moment, and Liu Yizhen came to his rescue and asked:

"Is it possible that this girl was brought back to Huanggang Village by Wu Laocai and they quickly held a wedding, but something went wrong during the wedding, and she eventually jumped into the well and died, and the evil spirit revived?"

Wu Jizu shook his head: "Sir, you are wrong."

"Oh?" Liu Yizhen paused and asked, "What did I say wrong?"

"You seem to be saying that my father forced a commoner girl to marry him, causing her to resist and die?" Wu Jizu asked back.

Fan Bisi asked, “Isn’t it?”

"Of course not." Wu Jizu denied it flatly.

Meng Po couldn't listen any longer: "At this point, with both human and ghost evidence, how dare you still quibble and deny it?"

"I'm not trying to quibble, it's just the truth." Wu Jizu remained calm as he faced the questioning from the Demon Suppression Division, "Even if my father hadn't forced her to marry him, she would still have died, and her evil spirit would have revived after her death—"

"How can you be so sure?"

Zhao Fusheng frowned and began to think about the connection between the Red Shoes Ghost Case and Shen Yishu.

"Since the Han Dynasty, ghost cases have occurred frequently. Even the Demon Suppression Department can't figure out the probability and connection of the resurrection of evil spirits. How dare you be so sure?"

Although she asked this, for some reason, she already believed Wu Jizu's words.

"Because this person has a ghost in him."

Wu Jizu said shockingly: "She can't be considered a living person at all, she is a ghost——"

"wrong."

At this point, he denied it again and shook his head:
"She wasn't dead then—" He then glanced at Zhao Fusheng and said, "Our Wu family suffered a loss here." "She was indeed no longer a human being at that time. Unfortunately, my father was eager to transfer the evil spirit away, but he didn't expect to attract something even more powerful."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes it's just like this. Who can tell whether it's a blessing or a curse?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Fusheng remained silent. Fearing that she would not believe him, he simply said, "You are from the Demon Suppression Division. You must know the rules of ghost marking, right?"

Zhao Fusheng looked at him strangely - this Wu Jizu actually knew the rules of marking ghosts.

This information is not secret in the Demon Suppression Bureau, but for ordinary people, it is a secret that cannot be found out.

The Wu family suffered from ghost disasters. It was obvious that Wu Laocai put a lot of effort into finding out the truth after facing the strange incidents.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Of course I know this." She asked Wu Jizu: "Do you think this woman is someone marked by the law of evil spirits?"

Wu Jizu said, "It's not what I think, but it's the fact."

Since he said so, he must have evidence.

While Zhao Fusheng was thinking, Meng Po was already impatient and shouted, "Sir——"

Zhao Fusheng calmed down and asked again: "Do you know the name of that woman?"

"I don't know." Wu Jizu no longer mentioned the "marking" and replied, "My father was so happy that the ghost eyeball was sent away that he didn't care what the concubine's name was. He didn't know where she was from. He only knew that she was sent by the general of the Demon Suppression Division."

Although Wu Laocai was puzzled at first as to why there was such a "good thing" in the world, he soon stopped thinking about it.

The existence of the ghost eyeball has tormented him for a long time. If he keeps this evil object in his hands, he will surely die - and it might even bring disaster to his family.

At this time, exchanging the ghost ball for a "person", even if there is a reason for this, compared with ghosts, people are obviously easier to deal with.

Wu Laocai didn't think much about it. He just wanted to complete the wedding smoothly and find an empty house to keep the woman as a sacrifice.

But something went wrong on the wedding day.

The woman cried and made a scene at first. “At first we all thought she didn’t want to get married.”

Wu Laocai was already quite old at that time, and the girl was still young and pretty, so it was understandable that he did not want a match between an old man and a young girl.

The woman from the Wu family said, "We persuaded her that once they got married, as long as she didn't agree, the master would never dare to touch her and would only worship her as an ancestor."

After all, she was given as a gift by the Silver General of the Demon Suppression Department, and she is different from ordinary women.

But no matter how hard the Wu family tried to persuade them, the woman kept crying, grabbing and hitting the Wu family members, and saying that she wanted to leave quickly for fear of missing out on important matters.

"What's the big deal?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Wu Jizu was indeed very open-minded. When she asked him this, he answered straightforwardly, "She said she was going to deliver a letter."

"Deliver a letter?" When Zhao Fusheng heard this, the hairs on his back stood up.

Having said that, she finally felt the similarities between the Red Shoes Ghost Case and the Shen Yishu Case.

That bloody letter!
Just in case, Zhao Fusheng asked, "Have you heard of the name Shen Yishu?"

As soon as she asked this question, Meng Po's face showed an extremely nervous expression.

"I heard it!"

Wu Jizu's words shocked everyone.

Meng Po's eyes were red, her hands were clenched into fists, and she stared at Wu Jizu hatefully.

Wu Jizu smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me like that, I know what you are thinking, but it's not like this."

He sighed and said, "This woman is not Shen Yishu, she is a 'messenger'." Fear appeared on the faces of all the people in the Wu family.

Wu Jizu said: "A special 'messenger' who delivers letters for ghosts."

Having said this, everyone present finally understood why his face was full of resentment when he mentioned this special "marriage" earlier.

Wu Laocai brought a ghost disaster to the Silver General of Shangyang County, and the Silver General gave him a bigger "gift" - a ghost messenger who was carrying the laws of evil spirits.

Even Fan Wujiu, who was slow to realize the situation, finally figured out the whole story.

Wu Jizu put his hands in his sleeves, despair and resentment hidden beneath his calm appearance.

"She said she was going to deliver a letter."

The other members of the Wu family sobbed quietly, and the last woman said, "We didn't know the inside story at the time, we just thought she really had a letter to send, and asked her where she wanted to send it -"

The girl just kept saying that she was delivering a letter and didn't answer any other questions.

Wu Laocai had come into contact with extremely evil things before, and now he felt that something was wrong.

He immediately became furious and asked his family to hold the woman down, intending to search her body to find out what kind of letter she had and where she was going.

"This is also the scene you said you saw at Xu Dalaizi's house." Wu Jizu said.

After searching her body, the Wu family found no letter on her.

The more Wu Laocai thought about it, the more panicked he became. He already had murderous intent in his heart and planned to kill this strange woman.

He was not a good person either, and ordered his servants to throw the girl into the well.

Everything related to the woman was burned to ashes.

The happy event turned into a funeral that day, but Wu Laocai still couldn't be completely relieved.

... "You all know what happened afterwards." The woman's belongings had been dealt with, but on that day, Xu Dalaizi's wife picked up a red embroidered shoe by the edge of the well.

When Xu Dalaizi's wife saw that the shoes were good, she wanted to take them home and sell them to supplement the family income.

But the ghost shoes brought disaster rather than blessing. They brought disaster back home, and eventually the whole family was wiped out, and the whole village was implicated.

"My father has been worried ever since the incident. When we learned that the Xu family had a ghost disaster - to be honest, we all felt relieved."

Wu Jizu's face showed a gloating expression.

"It's a pity that the opposite happened. In the end, the evil spirit was not led away—" He sighed in disappointment.

At this point, the situation was clear, and Zhao Fusheng asked again: "You said that this woman is not Shen Yishu, and you said you have heard of Shen Yishu. How did you know this name?"

Wu Jizu laughed and said, "I told you, our Wu family doesn't care what the woman's name is."

His words made Fan Wujiu's eyes widen, "Hey, so you come here with this mouth, are you playing tricks on our master?"

"No." Zhao Fusheng stared at Wu Jizu.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

There was a malicious look on Wu Jizu's face.

The conversation between the two people emerged in her mind. She unraveled the fragmented and messy clues, and the truth hidden under the chaotic information surfaced.

"You don't know who Shen Yishu is." Zhao Fusheng said.

Wu Jizu shook his head: "I don't know."

She added: "But you have heard her name."

Wu Jizu smiled now: "Yes, I have heard of her name."

His eyes gradually revealed resentment and undisguised malice as he stared at Zhao Fusheng.

"You heard about it after we just mentioned it, right?" Zhao Fusheng asked again without being affected by his gaze.

Wu Jizu nodded again: "Yes." This conversation left everyone completely confused.

Even Meng Po and Liu Yizhen were confused and did not understand what Zhao Fusheng meant.

Liu Yizhen said, "Fusheng, please stop asking for riddles."

Zhao Fusheng laughed and said, "None of the Wu family is good. Wu Jizu spoke half-truthfully and almost fooled me."

After hearing what she said, Wu Jizu did not refute but just sneered.

Fan Bisi was smart enough to have guessed a possibility: "Messenger?"

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng responded: "The key to the problem lies with the messenger."

She said: "The bride that the Wu family exchanged for the ghost eyeball is a ghost messenger marked by a fierce ghost. I believe Meng Po should be very clear about this letter--"

Tears of blood appeared in Meng Po's eyes.

Of course she knew that it was a bloody letter written by her daughter Shen Yishu, asking her for help.

At this point, the situation is clear.

Shen Yishu died in Bingzhou that year. It is unclear where he died and the cause of death is also unknown. Zhao Fusheng now only speculates that Shen Yishu's case was suspected to be close to the time when the right of first night was established in Shangyang County, Bingzhou.

Judging from the body of Shen Yishu's ghost after it was resurrected, it was wearing wedding clothes and was very likely to have died around the wedding date - possibly even on the wedding day.

After the death, the evil spirit revives and its method of killing is to mark the living and send messages for it.

And that bloody letter from home was destined to be delivered to Meng Po.

The silver general who was demoted to Shangyang County might have got such a dangerous thing. When Wu Laocai sent the ghost eyeball, for the silver general who was about to face a disaster, the appearance of Wu Laocai was like someone sending a pillow when he was sleepy.

A foreign merchant had come into contact with a very evil creature.

If such a bloody letter from home was handed to him, it would be like diverting the disaster away and taking a terrible ghost case away from Shangyang County.

At that time, Wu Laocai had ulterior motives and thought that his actions were flawless, but he didn't know that he was about to suffer a catastrophe. He happily took the special ghost messenger given by the Silver General away from Shangyang County.

……

This is the antecedent.

"Then, just as Wu Jizu said, they didn't know the name of the woman with the ghost letter."

For the Wu family, they didn't care about this woman's origins or past at first.

It was not until the ghost disaster broke out that the Wu family realized they had been affected and wanted to investigate, but it was too late.

Wu Laocai threw the man into the well, but unfortunately the ghost disaster still broke out.

When the Red Shoes Case formed a ghost town in Fengmen Village, Wu Laocai was probably already planning to take this opportunity to escape from Huanggang Village.

But Wu Jizu mentioned that 'things went against one's will' - which means they did not succeed in diverting the ghost disaster.

“Perhaps the Red Shoes Case did not break out in the Wu family of Huanggang Village, but after the messenger died, he left behind a fatal item.”

When Zhao Fusheng said this, Wu Jizu's face changed again and again, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Duozi looked back and forth between Zhao Fusheng and Wu Jizu, and then said something shocking: "Sir, is it the letter from home?"

"Correct."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Wu Jizu laughed softly.

"Your Excellency is indeed extraordinary." After saying this, his upper body fell back to the chair: "After the death of the Ghost Messenger, our Wu family became the new Ghost Messenger."

After being exposed by Zhao Fusheng, he did not hide it any more: "That night, everyone in our Wu family received a letter."

The Wu family had no idea where the letter came from, and they had no idea where it was going.

But after experiencing the entanglement with strange things, Wu Laocai knew very well that the Wu family had suffered a great disaster.

……

After figuring out the whole story, Liu Yizhen, Meng Po and others looked at each other.

"I have another question." Zhao Fusheng said.

Wu Jizu smiled and said, "Your Excellency is a straightforward person. It is very comfortable to talk to a straightforward person. Now that we have come to this point, is there anything that cannot be said? If you have anything to say, just ask. As long as I can answer it, I will not hide it from you."

Zhao Fusheng said, "The case of the ghost messenger should have happened seventeen years ago." This was the time Wu Jizu said himself. "Whenever a ghost case occurs, unless there are special conditions, it is impossible for a person to survive for so many years under the power of a fierce ghost."

Everyone in the Wu family was marked and became messengers carrying letters for ghosts, but according to records, the Wu family moved to Jin County seventeen years after the incident - that is, twenty-six years ago. This proves that no one in the Wu family died because of the ghost disaster, which is very intriguing.

Wu Jizu said, "Have you forgotten the eyeball that my father picked up?"

Fan Bisi was stunned: "But that eyeball——" He stopped talking halfway and sighed: "I know, it was not completely given away."

"Yes, I didn't send this evil thing completely, but fortunately I didn't send it all, so I saved my Wu family's life." Wu Jizu nodded: "The meat ball was sent out on the surface, but in fact, another eye grew on my father's forehead."

When he mentioned what happened at that time, he finally showed a fearful expression: "Those are not my father's eyes, they look like the eyes of a ghost."
