I become a god in another world

Chapter 454: All the mechanisms are exhausted
Chapter 454

"I understand." Zhao Fusheng sighed, "Ghosts restrain ghosts."

"Ghosts restraining ghosts?" Wu Jizu's eyes froze, and he repeated it slowly. Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, his entire fat body slumped down on the chair:
"So this is the reason. It was by some strange coincidence that my Wu family was saved."

"In short, we found that as long as we are under the gaze of these eyes, we will not be affected by the blood letter and will not be eager to 'deliver the letter'."

It is said to be delivering a letter, but in fact it is sending one's life.

Relying on the protection of the ghost eye, the Wu family lived in fear for more than ten years.

On the contrary, the Wu family also relied on the existence of the bloody family letter to suppress the ghost eye in disguise, preventing it from recovering seriously.

Under the checks and balances of the two ghosts' power, the Wu family lived a few more years.

"Neither of these two extremely evil creatures is easy to deal with," Wu Jizu said.

"My father was tortured by the ghost eyeball when he was alive. His whole body was festering. Only this eyeball was left intact before he died."

When Wu Laocai picked up the ghost eyeball, it was not complete - according to Zhao Fusheng's speculation, it was more like one of the remains of a ghost after being decomposed.

The evil ghost was decomposed and its power was affected, so the speed of killing did not seem fast at first.

But in half a year at the latest, or even a few months at the earliest, the Wu family will face a disaster.

It just so happened that Wu Laocai reacted quickly. When he found himself in trouble with a ghost, his first reaction was to send the disaster away, but he welcomed back a new ghost disaster. The two ghosts achieved a clever balance.

Although the power is balanced, ghosts are ghosts after all, and it is impossible to be safe and sound when you are with ghosts.

It's just a matter of dying sooner or later.

It is misfortune to be accompanied by ghosts. It was also expected that Wu Laocai died miserably.

"This ghost eye has a special ability. When you look at people with this ghost eye, you will see things that the human eye cannot see."

Zhao Fusheng asked him, "What did your father see from this ghost's eyes?"

Wu Jizu said, "Send the letter out."

"What do you mean?" Chen Duozi's face changed.

Compared with other people in the Demon Suppression Bureau, although her knowledge of ghosts was limited due to the limitations of her environment, she was not stupid. Through this conversation, she had guessed the cause and effect, and even guessed the cause of Lu Zhuer's death.

"Send this special ghost letter."

Wu Jizu looked at her coldly and replied, "Take in a concubine, marry a bride. As long as you enter my Wu family, you will immediately become a special ghost messenger on the wedding day."

As long as the messenger is still there, the Wu family will not suffer any disaster - Shen Yishu's evil ghost will not be revived.

Chen Duozi wailed, "Just because of this reason, you have harmed so many people?"

"Heaven and earth are cruel and treat our Wu family as straw dogs. Why can't our Wu family harm others and protect our own lives?" Wu Jizu looked at her:
"Other people's lives are lives, but the lives of my Wu family are not lives?"

"Your Wu family has done so many evil things, don't they deserve to die?!" Chen Duozi felt heartbroken when he thought of Lu Zhu'er, whom he had personally raised. He rarely asked in a harsh voice, "The whole thing started because of your Wu family."

If Wu Laocai had not taken the risk and dug up someone's grave, he would not have dug up such a dangerous thing. In the end, he would not have tried every means to go to Shangyang County to divert the disaster and handed the dangerous thing to the silver general of Shangyang County.

Afterwards, he was framed by the Silver General, who then attracted the ghost messenger.

All of these things are the Wu family's own fault.

"Hehe." Wu Jizu heard this and laughed bitterly: "What you said is really unreasonable." He said darkly: "If you are not desperate, who would dare to do such a thing?"

His eyes were not big, but at this moment they had a kind of awe-inspiring power, which made Chen Duozi dare not meet his gaze. "I was born in Huanggang Village. The people in the village are either bandits or bullies. If you are a little weak, you will be eaten by them without leaving any bones."

"Our Wu family's ancestors inherited a few acres of thin land in their early years, but according to official records, it was 20 acres of good farmland. Even after working hard for a year, it was not enough to pay the taxes."

He said in an aggressive tone: "My grandfather worked hard all his life. He was skin and bones before he died. He owed 78 ingots of silver after his death."

"..."

Chen Duozi was originally a ghost rider, and because of Lu Zhuer's death in the Red Shoes Case, he was particularly resentful of the Wu family.

But at this time, Wu Jizu's resentment was strong enough that it frightened her and made her unable to speak for a while.

"My father was young at the time and took over such a mess. My grandfather's funeral was not yet held and we couldn't afford a coffin. The debt collectors had already come to our door."

The son should pay off his father's debt, and Wu Laocai did not refuse. He took the risk, put aside his conscience, and followed the villagers to sell goods.

At first he helped people walk, and later he bravely went into the mountains to dig graves.

"He was lucky, not afraid of death, and daring to fight, which led to his good life later on."

Wu Jizu said coldly: "Without his decisiveness back then, it is hard to say whether my Wu family would have survived. My whole family would have been forced to death at my grandfather's funeral. What morality would we still talk about?"

He was filled with resentment: "Why don't you go and reason with the people in the Demon Suppression Department? They collect high taxes, force so many people to death, and try to shirk responsibility when faced with ghost cases. My father sent a ghost ball out, but got a real living ghost in return. Who can I go to for justice?"

"I——" Chen Duozi was speechless and stepped back.

But she had just taken two steps back when she was stopped by Zhao Fusheng.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Zhao Fusheng supported her back with his hands. "He has perverse ideas."

"How can I be unorthodox?" Wu Jizu was unconvinced.

Zhao Fusheng said: "Wrong is wrong, right is right. Just because you were harmed by the Demon Suppression Division, it doesn't mean you should attack those who are weaker than you."

"Isn't it?" Wu Jizu asked back with confidence.

"Of course not!" Zhao Fusheng looked at him coldly: "If you believe in the law of the jungle, then the Demon Suppression Division is strong and your Wu family is weak, so he bullies you, why are you angry?"

"How can I be angry--" Wu Jizu still stared with his eyes wide open, unconvinced.

However, everyone present could tell that his words lacked confidence.

"If you're not angry, then don't make such a long speech and don't use your heretical ideas to justify the Wu family's harmful actions." Zhao Fusheng shouted unceremoniously.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. If you have the guts, go and seek revenge on General Yin. How can it be fair to buy and sell innocent lives to take concubines, and mark people as evil spirit messengers to extend your own life?" She frowned, "Don't be so ungrateful, shut up!"

"I—" Wu Jizu wanted to speak, but Zhao Fusheng interrupted him rudely: "Okay, I don't want to listen to your meaningless nonsense."

"Let me ask you, what was the name of the Shangyang County Silver General who gifted your father the 'Messenger'?"

Wu Jizu's face turned dark.

He seemed to have been holding back his breath because of Zhao Fusheng's words, and wanted to vent it, but when he looked at the large number of people in the Demon Suppression Division, he swallowed his breath back.

After a while, he adjusted his mentality and replied: "My surname is Zang——"

"Is your last name Zhang?" Liu Yizhen asked.

"The surname is Zang?" Chen Duozi also exclaimed.

Liu Yizhen was from Xuzhou and spoke with the accent of Wan'an County of Xuzhou. The pronunciation of "Zhang" and "Zang" is the same, but there are slight differences in their pronunciation.

When Wu Jizu mentioned the surname 'Zang', Zhao Fusheng didn't take it seriously, but once Chen Duozi started to speak at the same time, the difference was obvious. "Zhang? Zang?" Zhao Fusheng muttered twice.

Now even the usually slow-witted Fan Wujiu realized that something was wrong and looked at Fan Bisi: "Yizhen did this on purpose, didn't he? Fortunately, Lao Zhang is not here, otherwise he would have jumped up and down and accused Yizhen of having bad intentions."

"..." Liu Yizhen grabbed the straps that bound the coffin with both hands, closed his eyes, and turned his face to the left, pretending not to hear the implication of his words.

"Is his surname Zhang or Zang?"

Zhao Fusheng looked at Wu Jizu and asked again.

Wu Jizu sneered, "What's 'Zhang'? 'Zang'? Aren't they the same?"

He played dumb.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth." Zhao Fusheng looked at him: "We are all from Wan'an County, can't you tell the difference between 'Zhang' and 'Zang'?"

Wu Jizu just smiled and said nothing.

This old man is cunning and clever. He doesn't want to say anything at this moment. Even if he is forced to answer, he is very likely to talk nonsense.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng simply didn't ask for the time being - after the Wu family matter was settled, she would first go to the Jin County Demon Suppression Division to inquire, and if she couldn't find anything, she would always go to Shangyang County.

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

All local government offices keep files and archives, especially the Demon Suppression Office, which has stricter regulations on files.

Just check and you will know who the silver general of Shangyang County was 43 years ago.

When Wu Jizu saw her determined expression, he guessed her plan and a look of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

……

With this little incident, the two sides essentially broke up.

Zhao Fusheng said bluntly: "I have figured out the Red Shoe Ghost Case from more than ten years ago, and I also know why your Wu family has not had any trouble for more than ten years. Since your Wu family has found a corresponding method to restrain it, why do you still want to move your family?"

Wu Jizu glanced at Zhao Fusheng and said, "Your Excellency is very good at predicting things. Why don't you give us a guess?"

“Hey——” Fan Wujiu clenched his fist and wanted to hit him: “I’m asking you a question, but you dare to be sarcastic. If you want to be beaten, I’ll grant your wish now.”

Wu Jizu then said, "The Demon Suppression Division is indeed very powerful. They dare to beat people in other people's territory." After that, he said, "But my Wu family is not easy to mess with. It's true that you are from the Demon Suppression Division, and I also have connections in Jin County--"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile, "Tang Zuwang?"

Wu Jizu's eyes flashed, but he said nothing.

"Your Wu family's ghost disaster is out of control, right? Whether it's the ghost eye or the ghost letter, it should be impossible to suppress it."

Taming ghosts requires the right time, right place, and right people, but more importantly, it also requires "talent", or the so-called degree of compatibility.

Among the Wu family, Wu Laocai, who lived in his early years, was a cruel person. He was also the person who had direct contact with the ghost eyeball and the ghost messenger, so when he was alive, he could barely balance the two ghosts.

In addition, when he was alive, he always took concubines and used human lives to "deliver messages" to ghosts, creating a large number of red shoe ghost cases and forming another disaster. Therefore, the ghost disaster of the Wu family did not really break out.

But few people who deal with ghosts have a good ending.

Even though Wu Laocai has been busy for half his life, what is supposed to come will still come.

He died miserably, and fought for the survival of the Wu family for more than ten years, but in the end the Wu family still could not escape the disaster.

"Your father was a man of character. Before he died, he must have made arrangements for you to go to Shangyang County to seek survival, right?"

Wu Jizu closed his eyes and said nothing.

"He gave the ghost eye away that year, but he was still marked by the ghost eye and became one of the people that the evil ghost wanted to kill."

It was only because the Wu family was later marked by Shen Yishu and became ghost messengers that they did not die.

The mark of the ghost eyeball is never a ghost, it is just one of the ghost's abilities.

"Mr. Wu arranged for you to come to Shangyang County. He probably wants to retrieve the remains of the evil spirit that he sent away that year."

Zhao Fusheng hit the nail on the head with his words, and Wu Jizu finally lost his composure.

"It's really ridiculous." Liu Yizhen said, "You gave something away, and now you're trying to get it back."

"But they can't take it back." Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "When they arrived in Jin County, the Wu family should have sensed the specialness of this place."

Wu Jizu's face showed a look of panic.

"This was where Shen Yishu lived." She sighed.

After many twists and turns, the ghost's messenger failed to deliver the letter after many years, and instead sent it back to the hands of its former 'right owner'. If the Wu family knew this, I wonder how horrified they would be.

Fortunately, the Wu family has been "accompanied" by ghosts for many years, so they were not panicked by this.

When Wu Jizu found out that something was wrong, he immediately thought of a vicious plan.

"Borrow a ghost to suppress another ghost." Zhao Fusheng said again.

"You--" Wu Jizu wanted to get up, but Fan Wujiu put his hand on his shoulder and pushed him back to his original position.

"My Lord hasn't finished yet, don't worry."

"let me go!"

Wu Jizu struggled several times, but Fan Wujiu was too big and strong, so he couldn't break free at all and had to continue sitting in his place unwillingly.

"When I mentioned the idea of ​​using ghosts to suppress ghosts, you pretended to be surprised. In fact, your Wu family is not stupid—" No matter how stupid they are, after more than ten years of living with ghosts, they have already understood this truth.

"So you want to copy the same thing and use a real 'ghost' to suppress the ghost."

Unable to find the ghost eyeball, he borrowed the life of Tang Zuwang, the demon master of Jin County.

So when Zhao Fusheng and his party broke into the Wu residence more than 20 years ago forty-three years later - that is, the day when the Wu family just moved into the Sun Mansion, the old man guarding the gate dared to shout confidently when facing the ferocious attitude of Zhao Fusheng and others: Lord Tang of the Demon Suppression Bureau will come here tonight.

"Since I've entered a haunted house, I want to attract ghosts to save my life." Zhao Fusheng said with a smile: "Tang Zuwang hasn't come yet, I came first. You see I'm a ghost driver, so you think maybe I can replace him. Am I right?"

Wu Jizu was not panicked when her purpose was exposed. He smiled and said, "There's more."

He said, "Your Excellency is really smart. You guessed some things half right, but you forgot one thing."

After he finished speaking, a malicious smile appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Fusheng asked, "Are you referring to the name 'Shen Yishu'?"

Wu Jizu's smile froze on his face.

For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy.

"You said you had never heard of Shen Yishu before, I believe that's true." Zhao Fusheng sighed: "But we came here for the Red Shoes Ghost Case and asked about the past forty-three years ago-"

"Forty, forty-three years ago?" Wu Jizu's heart suddenly sank. When he said this, he felt an indescribable nausea in his heart. His stomach churned, and he suddenly leaned over and retched: "Ugh—"
