I become a god in another world

Chapter 54 Four: Find out the rules
Chapter 54

At the same time, the chill came and went as quickly as it came, the clouds were blown away by the wind, and the sun shone down again. Fan Bi was confused, wondering if the weirdness in the previous moment was his own imagination.

On the carriage, Zhao Fusheng listened to Shi Hai Nei’s prompts with some regret:

Failed to capture the ghosts.

Although the list of gods had reminded her that the level of hell was too low to trap ghosts above the vicious level, she still tried to use the characteristics of hell to send away the ghosts she controlled, but ultimately failed as she expected.

However, Zhao Fusheng had expected this, so she was not discouraged. Instead, she thought about it, took out the ghost hand hidden in her sleeve, and cast Hell again.

The shadow swallowed up the ghost hand silently.

The moment the shrunken ghost hand entered the hell, it quickly began to expand, and the human skin paper it held in its palm fell off with a 'snap' sound.

But after the ghost hand recovered, there was no movement, but it was restricted by the power of hell.

Zhao Fusheng's consciousness was closely connected with hell. At this time, he clearly felt that he could 'touch' the location of the ghost hand and the fallen human skin paper at any time.

Everything in hell is in her mind. This feeling is too mysterious.

But she could faintly feel that the ghost hands were uncontrollable. They opened and closed, as if they were instinctively searching for the true body, trying to break through the blockade of hell.

The level of the beggar ghost itself has reached the evil level. Although Zhao Fusheng decomposed it, the decomposed ghost hand itself represents the beggar ghost's killing law and is the strongest part of the beggar ghost's body——

Therefore, it is still a little difficult for Zhao Fusheng to completely control this ghost hand in the first level of hell.

The benefits of hell are also obvious.

Once Ghost Hand is sent to hell, he seems to be completely isolated from this world, as if he is living in two different time and space.

While Zhao Fusheng was thinking, he sensed the struggle of the ghost hand, and immediately "grabbed" with his mind, he grabbed the ghost hand and the human skin paper at the same time.

As soon as the ghost hand was caught out of hell, he immediately relied on instinct to kill people. Zhao Fusheng's face darkened and he stuffed the human skin paper into the ghost hand. At the same time, she read the prompt on the list of gods in the sea:

When the ghost hand is sensed to be revived, 5 merit points will be deducted to suppress it.

Excessive use of hell will cause the host to control the ghosts, and 10 points of merit will be deducted to appease them.

"..."

Zhao Fusheng did not expect that with this incoming and outgoing effort, his remaining merit points would be deducted by another 15 points, and now he only had 25 merit points left.

She frowned and looked at the ghost hand in her palm that shrank again and turned into a mini arm. A piece of human skin paper was firmly clasped in her hand.

After this test, although Zhao Fusheng lost part of his merit points, he also found out several important information:

The use of Hell is not unlimited, especially if she currently has insufficient merit and insufficient bargaining chips. Frequent use of Hell may cause the ghosts she controls to revive;

When a controlled ghost is put into hell and released again, the ghost will lose control again - for example, this ghost hand, she originally used the law of controlling ghosts to subdue it, but when she enters and exits from hell, the ghost is still triggered again. Technique rules.

The most important thing is that after Ghost Hand's recovery, it seems that its 'appetite' has increased, and the human skin paper can no longer satisfy its needs to appease it.

If the Fengshen Bang had not used merit points to suppress it at the critical moment, Ghost Hand might have lost control again.

After clarifying these rules, Zhao Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

This experiment is completely worth it. The useful experience accumulated by consuming the merit points in advance can avoid making mistakes in critical moments in the future.

Now it seems that merit points are really a good thing, but she doesn't have enough of them.

"Fusheng, just now——"

Outside the carriage, Fan Bisheng thought about it and felt that there was something evil about the sinister wind just now.

Wan'an County is not an ordinary dangerous place now. The appearance of ghost mist caused the court to abandon this place. Ordinary ghost masters dare not set foot on this land for fear of never coming back - once they come here, they will be affected by the ghost mist. Affected by this, the evil spirits in his body will accelerate their recovery and will die here.

Under such circumstances, whenever there was any disturbance, Fan Bisheng would be on tenterhooks, worried that something might be up to him.

Although the evil wind came and went quickly, Fan Bisheng still became more and more uneasy as he thought about it, so he still had the courage to ask.

Zhao Fusheng unhurriedly stuffed the shrunken mini ghost arm into his sleeve. When he heard Fan Bisheng's words, he said:

"It's okay. I just tried the ghost's power and there was no problem."

'hiss! '

'drink! '

Pang Zhixian and others took a breath, and Fan Bisheng's doubts were also suppressed in his throat.

The two brothers turned their heads and glanced at each other in unison, with shock in their eyes.

The two of them were adopted by Zhao Duan and grew up with Zhao Qiming. They accompanied Zhao Qiming to Wan'an County to take up his post. They saw with their own eyes that Zhao Qiming controlled the evil ghost and was later influenced by the evil spirit and lost control.

Every time you use the power of a ghost, you will be assimilated by the ghost, become cold and cruel, lose human emotions, and let more instincts and killing feelings take over.

The ghost controlled by Zhao Fusheng was the same one that Zhao Qiming lost control of. When she was in the Demon Suppression Division, she suppressed the resurrected Zhao couple. She had already used the power of ghosts, and this time she entered the Begging Alley and could decompose the contents of the Begging Alley. The fierce ghost must also have used the power of the fierce ghost.

How could a newcomer who was lucky enough to control a fierce ghost be able to completely subdue the fierce ghost after controlling it, and even used the power of the ghost twice, but seemed not to be affected by it at all?
She even dared to play around with the evil ghost even if she had nothing to do. Wasn't she afraid of the ghost's backlash?

Fan Bisheng was full of questions, but he did not dare to ask easily for fear of offending Zhao Fusheng.

He even thought uneasily and darkly: Zhao Fusheng's behavior was too weird.

She is literate, numerate, and has a shrewd and calm personality. She is calm and unhurried after controlling ghosts. Is she a hidden extraordinary ghost control person?And does Paper Man Zhang know all this?
If the paper man knew nothing about it, how could such a coincidence happen in the world?

If the paper man Zhang knew Zhao Fusheng's extraordinary qualities early on, collected the things that day, and showed his brother how to divert trouble to the east, was he deliberately trying to lure his brother into enmity with Zhao Fusheng?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and his eyes looked at Zhang Chuanshi with a hint of hatred.

Zhao Fusheng didn't know what he was thinking. After trying out the uses of hell, she couldn't help but try to open the second level of hell again.

Within the Consciousness Sea, the response from the Fengshen Bang came:

The host's merit value is less than 1000 points, and the second level of hell failed to be opened.

The feedback of failure was within Zhao Fusheng's expectation, but she still frowned when she learned that 1000 merit points were needed to open the second level of hell.

By now, she could basically determine that the merit points obtained were related to the size of the ghost case she handled, the grade of the ghost, the scope involved, and the number of people rescued.

Although 1000 merit points is a lot, it is not an astronomical number that is out of reach for her.

What makes her feel a little uneasy is that the number of merits required to open the second level of hell is exactly 10 times that of the first level. If subsequent hells are calculated according to this multiple, then she will be very busy.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, the merit is not enough -"

She muttered to herself:
"Looks like we have to work hard to catch ghosts."

Outside the carriage, Zhang Chuanshi vaguely heard her mention "no money", and then heard her talk about trying to "catch ghosts". He couldn't help but trembled, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Nothing weird happened after that. Magistrate Pang and the others followed Zhao Fusheng's instructions and returned to the Demon Suppression Division first.

Zhao Fusheng stayed in the beggar alley for three days and needed to wash up.

She got off the carriage without greeting Magistrate Pang and the others, and went straight back to her temporary residence in the Demon Suppression Division.

After the Fan Bisheng brothers returned from completing the matters she had told them that day, they apparently found someone to clean up the Demon Suppression Department again.

The blood stains in the Yamen lobby were cleaned up, and the broken areas were simply repaired.Someone had also tidied up the room where Zhao Fusheng lived in advance. All clean clothes, shoes and socks were placed on her bed, and the bedding on the bed had been changed.

The Fan brothers didn't know if she could come back this time, but the two of them had done it on the surface.

In this world, the strong are respected. Once she shows a power that is worthy of being feared, her life will become much easier.

Zhao Fusheng simply freshened up and changed into clean clothes. When he came out, the servants outside and some of the spectators had already left temporarily.

A large table was set up in the yard outside the lobby with food on it. Magistrate Pang and several elderly squires were still waiting.

As soon as she came out, everyone rushed forward to salute. Magistrate Pang said:

"I should have taken care of you, but I was worried that you would be tired, so I left the big banquet until later. Today, several village elders in the county are grateful for your achievements in exorcising ghosts, so they have sent you some small gifts, and I hope you can accept them."

While speaking, Magistrate Pang waved, and the master on the side shouted quickly, and five or six people filed in from outside holding a foot-long wooden box.

Several people stood in a row, and the master stepped forward and opened the lids one by one. It was filled with bright silver ingots.

It is an unwritten rule that the commander-in-chief is enshrined by a prominent local squire when he takes office. This is also a hidden 'protection fee'.

Fan Bisheng secretly raised his head and peeked at Zhao Fusheng from the corner of his eye.

She was born into a poor family. She had paid for her life with five copper coins before, and then she was even more troubled by money. She couldn't even afford the coffin for her parents' burial, so she had to "borrow" it from Zhang Chuanshi with coaxing and threats.

Generally speaking, some of the commanders in the Demon Suppression Division come from ancestral families like Zhao Qiming and his son, while many more are successful at controlling ghosts by coincidence.

However, this group of people are not from prominent backgrounds, and there is a characteristic of the poor who are suddenly rich: that is, they are addicted to money as much as their lives in the beginning.

After that, most of them will impose exorbitant taxes, and the people in the fish and meat village will eventually be afraid of death and look for opportunities to save their lives.

Once he realizes that there is no way to ask for help and that he will definitely die, he will no longer restrain his nature and become vicious and cruel, making people fear him like a ghost.

Fan Bisheng saw Zhao Fusheng's eyes turning around the silver.

She was calm and calm, and did not show any greed or joy. Instead, she nodded:

"Put it up."

Fan Bisheng was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly came to his senses and bumped his younger brother's shoulder. The two brothers hurried forward and collected all the money.

Seeing her collect the money, Magistrate Pang and several elderly squires suddenly showed joy.

Magistrate Pang was eager to express his loyalty:
"Master Zhao, you are now aware of the situation in Wan'an County. Ghost cases occur frequently in various places. I also know that you are busy with official duties. If there are ordinary ghost cases, we will notify the towns and villages in advance to try not to disturb you, but if it is true - "

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and said seriously:
"no!"

Everyone looked bitter when they heard what she said.

On the contrary, the Fan brothers and the timid Zhang Chuanshi who were hiding aside looked happy.

When it comes to ghost cases, ordinary people and the Demon Suppressor have two extreme attitudes.

The magistrate of Pang County and the gentry and rich people in the county are afraid of ghosts and ghosts, and they are also afraid of the commander who controls the ghosts.

The former is fatal, while the latter is bone-breaking and marrow-draining.

But sometimes the knife is placed on the neck. Even though he knows that the Demon Suppressing Commander is not easy to deal with, compared with his life, money is an external possession, so sometimes he has to use it.

For those in the Demon Suppression Division, money is easy to come by, but they only have one life.

Especially since the envoy has always had an extremely high chance of death, Brother Fan Bisheng is not asking for money, but only wants to save his life. Zhao Fusheng does not take on the ghost case, which is great news for him.

"Then -" Pang Zhixian was sweating profusely and his mouth was astringent. He didn't know how to please Zhao Fusheng when he heard her say with a smile again:

"Report any ghost cases as much as possible. If I am free, I will not sit idly by and ignore them."

During this trip to Kaifang Alley, she earned merit and opened hell. Now she has the ability to temporarily capture a ghost. She also has a ghost hand, so she naturally has the confidence to speak.

After experiencing all this, Zhao Fusheng realized the potential of the list of gods, and naturally wanted to capture more ghosts in exchange for merit, and strive to advance the ghosts he controlled to the rank of gods as soon as possible.

The turn of her words immediately caused the two people to change their expressions.

Pang Zhixian and others were happy first and then shocked, while Fan Bisheng and the other two were shocked first and then frightened. The two sides didn't know how to respond to her words, and for a moment they looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

No one was satisfied with the meal. Pang Zhixian and others hardly used their chopsticks. Although Zhao Fusheng drank the soup to fill his stomach, although Meng Po's soup was good, she was still not full. She had been hungry all the way back. , so there was a lot of eating at the dinner table.

When she finished eating and drinking, and put down her chopsticks, the other people eating with her all followed suit as if they were relieved.

Afterwards, Magistrate Pang and others exchanged pleasantries for a few words before saying goodbye one by one.

As soon as these people left, Fan Bisheng's expression suddenly changed:
"Fusheng, do you really want to solve another ghost case?"

He didn't spend long time with Zhao Fusheng, who was reborn as a ghost master, but in the process of dealing with her, he got to know her character and knew that her previous words were not a joke.

Magistrate Pang and others thought she was answering casually. Only the three people from Zhenmo Division knew that she was sincere in what she said, so they were restless. It was not until the guests were sent away that Fan Bisheng asked.

"Yes."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

As she spoke, she leaned back on the chair behind her and lifted her legs up to the chair on the other side.

Zhang Chuanshi, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and pushed the chair so that she could adjust her posture so that she could lie down more comfortably.

She sneered and saw that Zhang Chuanshi didn't say anything. The bad old man smiled dryly, "hehe", his eyes were shining, but he didn't dare to look at her.

"But -" Fan Bisheng was about to speak, but Zhao Fusheng waved his hand:

"No buts."

She has a strong attitude, and after solving the ghost case in Beggar Alley, she has completely established her position in the Demon Suppression Department, making her decision no one dares to question:

"I have said before that we are loyal to the emperor and are loyal to the emperor. As commanders and envoys, protecting the people and upholding justice is what we should do."

"..."

"..." The two Fan Bisheng brothers looked at each other helplessly, but they did not give up their intention to persuade her to stop.

Zhao Fusheng ignored them and turned to look at Zhang Chuanshi who was standing aside:
"Old Zhang."

When she shouted, Zhang Chuanshi's body trembled and his shoulders collapsed quickly.

Before Zhao Fusheng could speak again, his knees softened and he knelt down with a thump - then the old man quickly moved his knees forward and knelt beside Zhao Fusheng:
"Mr. Zhao, please spare your life, Mr. Zhao, please spare your life, everything has nothing to do with me——"

Zhao Fusheng almost laughed at him.

Before she could ask any questions, Zhang Chuanshi had already shouted, "Spare my life."

"What has nothing to do with you?" She asked Zhang Chuanshi with a smile, her expression relaxed, and she could not tell whether she was happy or angry.

But the more relaxed and casual she was, the more wary Zhang Chuanshi became.
