Chapter 74

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come.

The two guessed that someone was leading the way to Goutou Village, and they speculated that the leader was Wu Dajing.

Then the two found bloody fingerprints on the car. Combined with Wu Dajing's mysterious disappearance and the fact that there were no memories related to Wu Dajing in their memories, they both speculated whether the village elder had died at the hands of a ghost.

Unexpectedly, the person who was speculated to be dead by the two of them one moment appeared again alive and knocked on the door the next moment.

In the dark night of the isolated village, even though Zhao Fusheng was so bold, he couldn't help but stand on his head with the hair on his back.

"It's terrible."

She sighed:
"It seems fake but real, and it's really hard to tell the difference between what's fake and what's real."

"Big, big, lord——"

Zhang Chuanshi was so frightened that he wanted to pee his pants.

He is just from a wild background, not a real envoy - no, even if he is an envoy, there are not many situations where he has actually seen such a large battle. Generally, an envoy is a consumable 'product', and a lot of people will die in one mission. .

Those who have experienced more than two ghost cases are experienced old people.

Everyone in the Demon Suppressing Department is making fun of him. He is just a small coffin shop owner and shouldn't be here.

People like him who are greedy for life and afraid of death dare not face the evil ghost!

He turned around and wanted to get off the carriage, but thinking that there might be a ghost outside, he didn't dare to move, so he had to squeeze towards Zhao Fusheng with a sad face:

"Sir, is he, is he a ghost..."

"What should we do?" Zhang Chuanshi couldn't stop shaking, hating himself for not staying at Wu Da Jing's house tonight, why did he follow Zhao Fusheng here.

"Don't panic."

Zhao Fusheng was extremely shocked, but calmed down.

She turned her head and looked at the spot in the lower right corner of the carriage, where all four original marks had disappeared.

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world -" She squinted her eyes, with a sharp meaning in her eyes:
"As soon as we speculated that Wu Dajing was dead, Wu Dajing showed up immediately."

In this situation, it seems that the ghost has been following her, and her detection triggered the law of the ghost, so the 'wrong bug' was automatically corrected.

But ghosts have no thinking and intelligence. This kind of correction is too coincidental and rigid, which makes people even more suspicious.

In order to make up for this doubt, it is very likely that people's cognition and memory will be disrupted again - Zhao Fusheng guessed that this may be the reason why he lost some parts of his memory before.

"It's a ghost. It must be a ghost!"

When Zhang Chuanshi heard what she said, he became even more certain that Wu Dajing outside the door was not a human being.

"Can't let it in."

"Do not."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head and turned to look at him:
"Not only do we have to open the door to let 'him' in, we also have to go and see who this Wu Dajing is."

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi showed an expression of shock and disbelief.

She knew clearly that Wu Dajing was not a human being, but she still dared to rush forward. The commander's behavior was really confusing.

"Sir, it, it is a ghost——"

"You also know it's a ghost?" Zhao Fusheng laughed twice:
"If the law of ghosts is triggered, it will kill people, and you can't hide. If the law is not touched, you will be fine even if you go with it."

She thought about the begging alley where she had the courage to follow the begging ghost and find its lair. If not, she would not have been able to force out the secrets Liu Yizhen said.

"If we don't take the initiative and evade, I suspect that we will lose the memory of Wu Dajing again, and then we will not remember that he 'may' be dead at all."

Zhao Fusheng's words were what really 'convinced' Zhang Chuanshi.

He is afraid of ghosts.

But if he escapes because of fear, and then loses part of his memory about the ghost, and then unknowingly gets along with the ghost, that is a terrifying thing that can make Zhang Chuanshi's liver and gallbladder split just by imagining it.

"I--"

Zhang Chuanshi couldn't stop trembling.

He regretted that he had followed Zhao Fusheng to Goutou Village this time. Dealing with the ghosts was too stressful.

"Sir, help me. As long as I can return to the Demon Suppressing Division alive this time, I will do anything -"

"I don't want to deal with ghost cases anymore. Please forgive me, sir."

Zhao Fusheng smiled when he heard this and did not answer. He just said:
"Walk."

She jumped out of the carriage first.

At this time, 'Wu Dajing' outside the door was still knocking on the door.

'Bang bang bang. '

The old door in the village does not close tightly. If you tap it gently, the door frame will shake.

'Wu Dajing' didn't say anything after revealing his identity, and just mechanically knocked on the door.

After Wu Lifu's family heard Wu Dajing's voice, they subconsciously wanted to open the door.

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Fusheng stretched out his hand to stop him. Wu Lifu was startled: "Sir?"

"Let me drive."

"It's just to open the door, why bother sir—"

Wu Lifu still wanted to show off, but Zhao Fusheng knew that the identity of "Wu Dajing" outside was strange, so he quickly stopped him.

She strode toward the door. Zhang Chuanshi was timid and afraid of death, so he hid far behind Wu Lifu and others. He held the torch forward while expressing his loyalty:
"Lord be careful."

Zhao Fusheng ignored him and she stood still in front of the door.

Although she had decided to face the ghost directly, dealing with the ghost still caused her great psychological pressure.

She took a deep breath, then took off the latch and opened the door forcefully.

'Squeak - squeak. '

The door opened, and the night wind blew into the house. The torch in Zhang Chuanshi's hand was pressed by the wind, and the flames were immediately extinguished.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

He screamed and hid behind Wu Lifu, shaking non-stop.

Wu Lifu didn't know why this 'big man' from the city was so timid. He didn't know the true identity of 'Wu Dajing' yet. He only said that when the village elder returned and saw 'Wu Dajing' standing outside the door, he suddenly smiled:

"Uncle Da Jing, you are finally back."

"You went to the town to report the crime three days ago. Today all the adults from the Demon Suppression Division are here, but you are nowhere to be seen. Everyone is still worried."

After Zhao Fusheng opened the door, he stared at the people outside.

At this time, the night outside was as dark as ink.

The moonlight overhead seemed unable to penetrate the night outside Kotou Village. With the torch lit in Zhang Chuanshi's hand, fog beads floating in the air could be vaguely seen, shrouding the farmland and grassland outside the village in darkness.

Ghost fog!

Such an idea suddenly appeared in Zhao Fusheng's mind, and then his heart shrank.

When we entered the village in the evening, everything was normal in the village, but after nightfall, the village was shrouded in ghost mist.

I saw an old man in his sixties standing in front of the gate. He was wearing a suit of baggy dark blue clothes and a beautiful blue sweat towel around his waist. His cheeks were thin and his skin was pale with a black air, as if he looked very poor. look like. "I was delayed on the way and encountered something."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Fusheng:
"I asked you to take a step ahead and reach the village."

As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened.

Wu Dajing's arrival seemed to awaken Zhao Fusheng's long-lost memories.

The disturbed memories in her mind were instantly broken and revived. The scene of Mr. Zhongcun, the Demon Suppressor, arriving under the leadership of Magistrate Pang and others, flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

After that, the three of them walked together, and she talked with Wu Dajing along the way.

But she couldn't remember the slightest bit about what they talked about.

As Wu Dajing spoke, Zhao Fusheng imagined in Zhao Fusheng's mind that Wu Dajing suddenly got out of the car and separated from her and Zhang Chuanshi because he had something to do on the way. In the end, the two of them arrived first, and Wu Dajing returned to the village at this time.

Not to mention that this memory appeared too hastily, it was really unreasonable for Wu Dajing to part ways with the two of them halfway.

It was related to a ghost case, and given her personality, she would definitely inquire very carefully.

But there was a conversation between her and Wu Dajing, but she couldn't remember the content of the conversation at all - this was one of the doubts.

And Wu Dajing is an important witness related to the ghost case. It is absolutely impossible for her to let such a person out of her sight and let him move freely - this is the second doubt.

After a lifetime of two doubts, Zhao Fusheng became more certain that there was something strange about Wu Dajing in front of him.

But Zhao Fusheng did not impulsively expose this.

As she told Zhang Chuanshi, Li Guifa's various actions at this time were compensatory measures to 'hide' the truth.

Once she exposes the truth, the laws will change again, and it is very likely that for the sake of 'rationalization', they will interfere with her cognition and erase her memory.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng decided to mark all memories about Wu Dajing as 'suspicious', and then followed his words:

"Ah, yes, yes, we found Kotou Village with great difficulty after your guidance."

Zhang Chuanshi watched her conversation with the 'Li Gui' with a horrified look on his face.

And as she talked nonsense, something even more terrifying happened: in Zhang Chuanshi's mind, memories of Wu Dajing instructing them on how to get to Kotou Village actually appeared.

If this 'memory' hadn't suddenly appeared as Zhao Fusheng opened his mouth, and Zhang Chuanshi had been wary of Wu Dajing earlier and realized something was wrong in time, he might not have even realized that this memory was a forced one. stuffed into his mind.

When Wu Dajing heard what she said, a smile appeared on his face.

"As long as we arrive safely, I will go home immediately and tell them to light a fire to cook and entertain the adults."

Wu Lifu and his family were fully aware of what was not strange and said after hearing this:

"The food has been cooked a long time ago, and we are killing chickens and ducks. It's really lively."

A woman said sourly:

"I wonder if the rice is ready. Can we go and eat some too."

Just as Wu Dajing was about to speak, Zhao Fusheng was the first to speak:

"Don't worry about it tonight. Let's take a rest early. We can talk about anything in the morning."

When the woman was interrupted by her, she was so angry that she dared not speak out, so she had no choice but to respond humbly.

Zhao Fusheng turned his head and glanced at Zhang Chuanshi:
"Lao Zhang, let's go too."

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi refused and shook his head desperately, but before he could speak, Zhao Fusheng glanced at him and he trembled all over.

Zhao Fusheng left a very terrible impression in his heart. At this time, he did not dare to go against her, so he could only say with a grimace:

"Sir, it's getting dark now. Why don't we let the old man go home by himself? Why don't we rest at Wu Lifu's house for the time being?"

He didn't want to walk with ghosts.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head.

There are dangers in walking with ghosts, but at the same time the risks mean there may be rewards.

Having her memory wiped out several times made her feel very uneasy. She tried her best to search for new clues, otherwise she would not know how she died in the end when she was sure that she had been possessed by the evil ghost law.

"I have something to tell Wu Dajing. Let's go together. You hold the torch to light the way."

Zhang Chuanshi frowned, glanced at Wu Dajing secretly, and nodded listlessly.

The three of them followed Wu Li's wealthy family into the village, and Zhao Fusheng walked in front like an old horse who knows the way.

"Wu Dajing, what did you do after you separated from us today?"

Although Zhao Fusheng said she knew there was something wrong with Wu Dajing in front of her, she still pretended to be ignorant and started asking questions according to the procedures of the Demon Suppression Department in handling cases.

"I went to pay homage to Wu Datong."

Wu Dajing, who was traveling with her, listened to her questions and immediately responded fluently.

As he mentioned the existence of the person 'Wu Datong', the corresponding message naturally appeared in Zhao Fusheng's mind: Wu Datong, the father of the village chief Wu Liren, died on July 7.

Before she asked, Zhao Fusheng was very sure that he did not remember these clues, but after Wu Dajing spoke, his words were like a key, opening the sealed memory box.

Zhao Fusheng immediately realized that before she lost her memory, she had already investigated the clues about Wu Datong, but she had forgotten everything because of the influence of the evil ghost.

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up, as if she had found a way to search for memories.

But this time the ghost can interfere with memory and cognition, but I don't know if the information she 'recalled' is accurate.

If there is an error in her memory, it may have immeasurable consequences for her who is handling the ghost case.

She touched the ghost arm in her sleeve and asked again:
"Do you have a good relationship with Wu Datong? Even if he dies, you will go to pay homage."

"We grew up together and are distant cousins." Wu Da replied respectfully.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes flashed and he nodded:
"It sounds like the relationship is quite close. This case in Kotou Village is——"

Her memory became more and more confusing. When it came to the ghost case itself, Zhao Fusheng even paused for a moment, unable to recall the entire story of the case.

Every time she thought about it, she had a headache, and there seemed to be a thought in her mind reminding her: Stop thinking about it.

Zhao Fusheng rubbed his eyebrows twice, and after getting over the headache, he tried his best to remember.

Starting from the memories she could recall at the moment, Wu Da Jing entered the Demon Division—telling the story of the ghost case—and mentioned Wu Da Tong—Wu Da Tong’s son was the village chief Wu Liren—

Thinking of this, hard work paid off, and she finally remembered that she entered Goutou Village because the village chief Wu Liren and his family disappeared mysteriously.

"It's Wu Datong's son and his family who are missing."

When she said this, Wu Dajing was not surprised. He nodded and responded:
"Wu Liren and his family are all gone."

His words were like a panacea for treating amnesia. When he said this, Zhao Fusheng suddenly felt as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. The scenes of Wu Dajing mentioning the ghost case in the Demon Suppression Department appeared in her mind one by one.

Regarding the disappearance of dozens of members of Wu Liren’s family, Zhao Fusheng should have started with Wu Liren’s situation.

But she remembered that Wu Dajing was the first to mention worshiping Wu Datong. Out of her keen intuition, after amnesia, even though the clues she knew so far were incomplete and the case information was not clear, she made the same judgment and choice as before the amnesia:

"How much do you know about Wu Datong?"

Zhang Chuanshi couldn't help but look up at her in surprise when he heard that she asked Wu Datong instead of Wu Liren.

Wu Dajing's expression remained unchanged and he replied:

“I didn’t know much about it before.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng immediately caught the strangeness in his words:

“I didn’t know much about it before, but what about the future?”

Wu Dajing suddenly stopped and stared at Zhao Fusheng.
