The demon world I designed

Chapter 931 Weird things.

There are also underworlds on the outer islands, just like the surrounding counties. Even though it is a marginalized island, it is still a large island with a population of several million. Although the quality of the population is not very good, for the Shinto stream who pursue their faith, I won't give up completely.

It’s just that the management staff is limited now, so we can only stabilize other places in the West Sea first. Of course, the most basic things must be in place. The underworld controls the major events of life and death, which is the most trustworthy thing. How could it be missed here?

Chen Qing remembered that in order to get people to sign up here, the Yinsi City God gave them a lot of discounts. Not only could their term of office be increased, more power of faith could be allocated, and the lifespan reward would be twice as much as other places.

Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. In such a ghost place, it is obviously impossible to get involved with some high-quality people. The upper limit is not too high, and it is only suitable for people with mediocre qualifications who want to be flat.

Such people were quite difficult to find in today's vibrant Jiangnan. Chen Qing remembered that it took a month of screening before he could barely find a middle-aged scholar named Gu who was not weak in ability but not very motivated. green.

And because of the long distance, long-distance calls within the Shinto stream consume a lot of faith. Generally speaking, they can only come back once every three years to report on their duties like a mortal official. Chen Qing will know about the death of any consecrated god in the Shinto stream, so Never thought something would happen here.

It turns out something happened here.

Wei Gongcheng also felt that something was not right about the underworld here, and a look of vigilance suddenly appeared on his face.

"My lord."

"Yes." Chen Qing nodded and signaled Wei Gongcheng to be quiet. The ship they were boarding at this time was a merchant ship, not a warship. The main reason was that the elite of the Western Navy were all in Yundu, and the soldiers left behind could not even defend the mainland. Chen Qing We had enough time, so we only brought one merchant ship. If there were any forces attacking the island at this time, it would actually be very troublesome.

Although this place is within my own sphere of influence, the actual distance is probably further than Jiangnan to Yundu, and there is no support, so it will be quite troublesome to go back.

According to the convention of horror movies, those who are curious and want to walk inside at this time will often end up miserable. The counter-routine is to turn around and leave now, but Chen Qing hesitated for a while and headed forward.

There is a reason why he dares to do this. He believes in his own setting.

This world was designed by himself. In the current time period, the power he holds now is not only invincible, but also at the top. He does not believe that a group of Westerners can do something to him after coming here for half a year.

Taking Wei Gongcheng with them, the two slowly walked into the island along with a group of soldiers disguised as a caravan.

The island is very primitive, and the piers are very simple. The ecology here is really good. Ordinary fishermen don’t need to go out to sea to fish. They can catch a lot of fish in the shallow waters around the island. In addition, The fertile land on the mainland has no chance to develop into a maritime power like other island countries.

Along the way, there were only a few local people fishing on the beach or collecting shells and pearls.

Most of them are women who cannot do heavy work. In such an island rich in resources, promising men will not make a living by fishing for sea goods.

Facing this group of strangers, the women on the island stayed far away. Even if there were troops stationed here, the people on the island would still feel strange to the people in Zhongyuan.

"My lord, the people here seem to be very normal." After walking for dozens of miles, even though the place was vast and sparsely populated, they saw a lot of local people. Those local islanders who were suspected to have Western faces were in this generous place. Life on the land is obviously very good. Apart from being a little curious and afraid of these people, there is basically nothing abnormal. It is no different from the first time I came here.

"Where is the garrison here?" Chen Qing asked with a frown.

It seems that Yinsi was sealed and there was no big commotion. If you ask these ordinary islanders, they will definitely not know everything. You can only hope that the garrison is still alive.

"It's over there." Wei Gongcheng pointed to the newly built sentinel tower in the distance.

That pure stone and steel building is obviously not something that the indigenous people on this island can do.

Chen Qing suppressed the anxiety in her heart and walked slowly towards that location at a normal human speed. When she was still a thousand meters away, someone shouted in the distance: "Who is that person?"

The pure Central Plains dialect, with a Qidi accent, made Chen Qing and Wei Gongcheng feel a little relieved. Both of them could sense the familiar fluctuations of the power of faith, which was obviously the Western Navy under Tian Heng.

Chen Qing did not explain, but only showed a little bit of the power of faith. The people above recognized Chen Qing immediately, hurriedly walked down from the sentry tower, and saluted ten meters away from Chen Qing: "Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, let's talk after we go in." Chen Qing gently held her hand, and the invisible force dragged the person up.

The structure inside the sentry tower is very good, and it also has ice jade to relieve the heat. To be honest, such a place seems cheap, but it is actually a very easy job of lying down.

With a good subsidy, there are not many things to do, and the daily environment is not bad. Chen Qing even saw a few white beauties with explosive figures in the sentry tower. Several soldiers who had no time to hide quickly knelt down to apologize. The women were also frightened.

Chen Qing waved her hand: "Let them go out first. I have something to ask you."

Several soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent the women out in embarrassment.

Wei Gongcheng frowned: "Tian Heng has strict military discipline. The garrison troops in the several island countries I have been to are very well behaved. It seems that this place is still too far away and too lax."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Qing didn't take it seriously. This place was not a place of importance in the first place. The garrison was just for a while. Besides, the soldiers didn't mess around. What's the point of finding a few local women?

In his time, people who went to work in North Africa still found a few black girls in the local area. Compared with the locals, the soldiers stationed there were more powerful and had rich wallets. They were the targets of many women. Only if they could keep their hormones under control There is a ghost.

"Your Majesty, those women are nothing to us." The soldiers who came back quickly explained: "They come to harass them every day. We can't drive away such weak women roughly."

"Okay, my lord is not interested in paying attention to your nonsense." Wei Gongcheng interrupted them and said directly: "I want to ask you about business. Has anything abnormal happened on this island in the past six months?"

"Is something abnormal?" Several soldiers looked at each other, a little confused for a moment.

On such a deserted island, what could possibly be abnormal?

Except for the sirens who occasionally come to the island, they are boring to death on weekdays. Many times they feel like rich old men with nothing to do.

Seeing the confused expressions on several people's faces, Chen Qing and Wei Gongcheng suddenly frowned. It seemed that these soldiers did not realize anything was going on here.

"Is the underworld here functioning normally?" Wei Gongcheng asked calmly.

"It's normal," said one of the soldiers: "The wizard from the Yiluo tribe passed away two months ago, and he invited us to have a meal. We also had a few words with the night wandering god who came to collect the soul, so there was no problem. , Why did the Lord suddenly ask this?"

"Two months?" Wei Gongcheng was stunned: "Only one person died in these two months?"

I am in Liuzhou, and new souls enter the Underworld every day. Is the workload here too easy?

Several soldiers were stunned. What did this adult mean? Too few people died?

"Sir, this place is vast and sparsely populated. Our troops are only stationed around a few large tribes. The distance between each tribe is farther than our Jiangnan County. Under normal circumstances, if someone from the same tribe does not die, we will not run away. Those who go to the next door are so far away. As for the death of other tribes, we can only ask the garrison there. On weekdays, we don't see them once a month. "

"That's it." Chen Qing buckled her head when she heard this, feeling a little troubled.

The population distribution in this place is too sparse, and coupled with the abundance of materials, there may not be much interaction between the tribes. It is simply God's gift of food. This also leads to very little interaction between the tribes, and the intelligence may be very loose.

"With such a loose distance, wouldn't it be troublesome for those wandering gods to work?" Chen Qing asked.

"Isn't that true? Ahem. The Lord has a wise eye." The soldier said quickly: "The tribes are too far apart, and the Yin Division here is seriously short of manpower. There is only one day travel god and one night travel god. People often die. They want to find For several days, there is only one City God Temple on this island. Unlike big cities like Liuzhou, there are several exits to the underworld, so the two wandering god brothers are running around almost every day."

"But there seems to be one weird thing."

"Oh?" Chen Qing looked at the hesitant soldier and smiled reassuringly: "It's okay. Just say whatever you have to say. Even if you say it wrong, it doesn't matter."

"Thank you, sir." The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, but still said: "There have been several strange patients during this period."

"patient?"

"Well, the kind of patients who are about to die are originally. Many local witch doctors said that they were hopeless and could prepare for their funeral. But for some reason, those patients just refused to die. They have not died even after a month. As a result, Now the witch doctors find it strange, because some patients who are extremely ill have not drunk water for half a month, but they are still alive, which is really weird. We don’t understand what is going on, so we can only wait for the wandering spirit to come and ask. , but we don’t know how to contact You Shen, so we can only wait slowly.”

"You can't die without drinking water for half a month?" Chen Qing's pupils shrank, thinking of a possibility: "Take me to see!"
