I become a god in another world

Chapter 6 Bringing up the past
Chapter 6

The two brothers made up their minds and got out from behind the wing. Before they got close to Zhao Fusheng, they heard her ask quietly:

"My parents probably didn't die in an accident as you originally said, but they also died at the hands of a ghost, right?"

She said this suddenly, catching the Fan brothers off guard.

Fan Bisheng, who was originally planning to fight for the right to speak first, give Zhao Fusheng a showdown and intimidate her with words, was suddenly intimidated by her.

Fan Wujiu's face showed a vigilant look, and the two brothers looked at each other with a somewhat panicked look in their eyes.

"..."

"..."

Fan Bisheng, who is usually the most flexible, his mind went blank. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and then he forced himself to calm down:

"good--"

Zhao Fusheng's parents are dead, and their bodies are placed in the mourning hall. They died of ghost disasters. The evidence is conclusive, and refutation is useless.

"Sure enough, I was killed by a ghost yesterday?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

"...Yes." Fan Wujiu reluctantly spoke. Before he could speak, he heard Zhao Fusheng say:
"Let me tell you, listen and see if I'm right."

Her back was to the two of them, and she was still wearing yesterday's clothes. When the evil spirit killed someone, she scratched through her heart and lungs, and blood flowed all over her clothes. At this time, the solidified blood turned black and hard, making her back look... Ruan is extremely cruel.

In addition, she may have controlled the evil ghost, and the evil ghost must be hiding in her body at this time.

The more the two brothers thought about it, the more fearful they became, and they instinctively took a small step back.

"Say." Fan Bisheng was much more courageous. Now that the matter had come to this, he just wanted to cut through the knot quickly and solve the problem, and he didn't want to escape anymore, so he forced himself to muster up the courage and nodded.

"Generally, there should be chief commanders and envoys in the Demon Suppression Division to ensure peace. After the death of the Demon Suppression Commander in Wan'an County, it is impossible for a country girl to take this position."

When Zhao Fusheng said these words, he had been thinking about it for a long time.

There are ghosts in this world!

She had just arrived, and except for some memories of the original owner and what she saw in her dream last night, she didn't know much about the people and things at this time and place. She was deeply afraid of the Fan brothers, but she could also see that these two She was also very wary of people coming back from the dead.

Although he didn't know the reason, Zhao Fusheng decided to deceive these two people first to see if he could get some useful information.

"I guess what you said that day was guided by the previous commander to find me. I'm afraid it was a trick to deceive me and my parents."

She suppressed her inner uneasiness, deliberately pretended to be calm, and said:
"Has the Demon Suppression Department suffered a catastrophe? This disaster is similar to a curse and will it implicate the people in the Demon Suppression Department?"

This is not something she speculated out of thin air.

According to Zhao Fusheng's memory in the past, apart from the Fan brothers and later 'her', there was no one else alive in the Demon Suppression Division.

Logically speaking, the existence of the Demon Suppressing Division should keep everyone safe. If ghosts kill people indiscriminately, which is unsettling, the safest place in the world is probably near the Demon Suppressing Division, but almost all the people on the streets nearby are... Moved away.

The few remaining shops were only coffin shops and paper money and incense shops, and these people regarded Zhao Fusheng as a savage beast. Whenever she came near, many people would run away like the plague.

In the past, Zhao Fusheng was muddle-headed and thought he was from the countryside and was not liked by others due to his unmatched moral character. However, at this time, Zhao Fusheng felt that these people were not necessarily afraid of Zhao Fusheng himself, but were afraid of the death curse she carried.

She felt a little uneasy when she thought about Zhao Fusheng being killed by a ghost in her nightmare, but at the same time it also proved that the original 'curse' on Zhao Fu might be the ghost that haunted her.

But she deliberately said it wrong, just to make the Fan brothers feel wrong.

The Fan brothers were indeed caught off guard by her sudden counterattack, but Fan Bisheng still tried to take the initiative and defended himself:

"This is not a curse..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"It's really not a curse, this should be a ghost disaster."

"..."

As soon as she said this, the Fan brothers looked at each other, with a look of helplessness mixed with fear in their eyes.

Neither of them expected that Zhao Fu, who was originally timid and ignorant, seemed to have become much smarter after his resurrection.

Her various reactions even made Fan Bisheng feel a little troublesome, and he even felt like he was being suppressed by her.

Could it be that after controlling ghosts, not only the strength has improved, but also the mind has been helped?

The two brothers were in a mess. Fan Wujiu looked at his brother and shouted: "Brother——"

Fan Bi died and calmed down, reassuring himself that he could not lose his position. Finally, he took a deep breath to calm down the anxiety in his heart and said:

"Really good."

He had a vague premonition that the two brothers might have chosen the wrong person to attack and shot themselves in the foot.

Zhao Fusheng's performance at this moment was not only smart, but also so smart that it made him a little uneasy.

"What do you want to know?" He was decisive. After not wanting to confront Zhao Fusheng head-on for the time being, he decided to find another way to see if he could make peace with her.

"What can you say?"

There was a verbal exchange between the two sides, with Zhao Fusheng slightly gaining the upper hand.

She realized that the Fan brothers were tolerant of her. Naturally, this tolerance could not all be due to her resurrection from the dead. It was very likely that there was something else about her that made the two brothers jealous.

She didn't know what the reason was for the time being. This feeling of unknown made her a little uneasy, but she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and pretended to be calm and asked Fan Bisei.

Fan Bisheng was silent for a moment and suddenly said:

"Okay, I'll tell you from beginning to end."

When he said this, he wiped his face and kicked his brother:
"No help, go and bring the past roster of the Demon Suppression Division, and bring a chair for the Commander to sit on."

His words seemed to acquiesce in Zhao Fusheng's identity as commander. Zhao Fusheng felt even weirder, but he did not stop him.Fan Wujiu glanced at his brother hesitantly, then at Zhao Fusheng, and then he went into the house to get something.

"Three years ago, our Demon Suppression Division in Wan'an County actually had one commander, two deputy generals, and eight commanders."

After testing, both sides more or less had a clue in their minds. Seeing that some things couldn't be hidden from Zhao Fusheng, Fan Bisheng simply told the story from the beginning.

"That is to say, three years ago, there were a total of 11 people in Wan'an County's Demon Suppression Department."

This number is still a bit small, but considering that the people who deal with ghosts at this time are a small number with special powers, there are eleven ghost exorcists in one county, which is already in line with Zhao Fusheng's original estimate.

"more than."

I wonder if it was because after Zhao Fu came back from the dead, the Fan brothers always suppressed her speech and momentum when they talked to her again. Fan Bisheng felt a little unwilling to accept it. Now when he listened to her talk again, he always wanted to be in front of her. He found fault with her words, and felt like he wanted to win back the situation:
"Actually, including the 23 handymen, there are a total of 34 people."

At that time, the Demon Suppressing Division in Wan'an County could be said to be the most powerful in the nearby counties.

"Oh." Zhao Fusheng responded lightly.

"..." Fan Bisheng had a feeling of powerlessness as if he had punched cotton. He was angry in his heart and was about to get angry, but he saw that Zhao Fusheng did not turn around to look at him.

She kept looking at the hall, and the anger in Fan Bisheng's heart suddenly stagnated, as if someone poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and his thoughts suddenly became clearer.

After Zhao Fu came back from the dead, his whole temperament changed drastically.

During the verbal exchange between the two parties, she was extremely calm, while he, like Fan Wujiu, was a little out of control, and it seemed like she was leading the conversation in every aspect.

In the past, just arguing with her about how many people there were in the Demon Suppression Division was just a pointless fight of temper, and he didn't even bother to do it, but he seemed to be unable to control his anger.

After realizing this, Fan Bisheng frowned.

He quickly regained his composure, stopped rambling, and said:
"There are indeed only 11 people in the Demon Suppression Department who can exorcise ghosts."

This person is very calm in nature, and he can calm down so quickly when stimulated by her words. Zhao Fusheng is even more wary of him, and Fan Bisheng continues:

"Our envoy at that time was named Zhao and Qiming. He was a man who controlled ghosts."

When he mentioned Zhao Qiming, his tone was a little complicated, but this emotion only existed for a moment, and he quickly controlled his emotions again.

And Zhao Fusheng keenly caught the strangeness in him, and she guessed: It seems that Zhao Qiming and the Fan brothers must be related.

But she did not rush to explore this point at this time, but asked about another key information that made her more concerned:

"Controlling ghosts? What does this mean?"

Even though she performed extraordinary after she came back from the dead, before that she was just a country girl with limited vision and insufficient knowledge.

Regarding this world, Zhao Fusheng originally only knew that there were ghosts and that ghosts could kill people. As for where ghosts came from and how to deal with them, she had no idea.

When Fan Bisheng saw her raising a question, he felt strangely relieved.

Maybe she had a head start and guessed a lot of things based on the little information, which made him feel threatened. In addition, she might be possessed by a powerful ghost, which actually made him confused.

"Ghosts cannot be completely killed," he said calmly:

"do not you know?"

"I don't know." When Zhao Fusheng heard the news, her heart skipped a beat, but she really didn't know about ghosts. She couldn't pretend about such things, so she could only shake her head honestly.

Her behavior was normal. Fan Bisheng pondered for a moment, organizing the words in his heart:

"It's true that many people don't know about this. The court has been hiding it for fear of triggering a civil uprising."

The people who knew about it were the people in the Suppressing Demon Division. The people in the Suppressing Demon Division were controlled by the Soul Book of Fate, so they naturally did not dare to go against the court's will and say these things randomly.

After speaking, he said seriously:

"Ghosts cannot be completely killed. We currently have only two ways to deal with ghosts when we encounter them." He paused, "One is to drive them away from Wan'an County."

"What?" Zhao Fusheng was really surprised when he heard this method of handling it.

"Drive away?"

"Not bad." Fan Bisei nodded.

"If it is just driven away, wouldn't it still kill people wherever it passes?" Zhao Fusheng asked doubtfully.

From the original death of Zhao Fusheng's family, we can see how terrifying ghosts are. If you encounter such ghosts and cannot subdue them but can only drive them away, isn't it just treating the symptoms but not the root cause?

"Yes, even the more people kill, the more resentment it absorbs, and it may even advance and grow, causing a large-scale ghost disaster."

Fan Bisheng knew that she didn't know much about these situations, so he simply explained them to her:
"Once the scope of the ghost domain becomes larger, it becomes more difficult to deal with."

"What will happen then?"

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he felt incredible.

"There is no way." Fan Wujiu said.

"If we rush to other counties, what will happen to the people in other counties?" she asked again.

"Anyway, if the ghost disaster is not on our territory in Wan'an County, we will not be responsible for the ghost troubles. Wherever the ghosts wander, it will be a headache for the county. If the ghost troubles are too big, it will be a headache for the court." Fan Bisheng's expression when he said this Somewhat indifferent.

"What if the ghost disaster is too big and the court can't solve it?" Zhao Fusheng thought that he had lived for many years and his temperament had been tempered by social rules to become indifferent. However, when he heard Fan Bisheng say such words, he was still a little surprised. .

"If the imperial court has no solution, it will have no choice but to abandon that area and let it fend for itself."

"..." His words made Zhao Fusheng stunned for a moment, and then he was silent for a moment. He didn't know how to answer the question.

"Go on." She sighed silently, frowning to suppress the discomfort in her heart.
