When I saw the health bar, I chose to blow up the world
Chapter 48 The Reason for Painted Skin
It was getting dark in the early morning, and many people in the city had hung up white flags.
Wearing sackcloth and mourning, they threw themselves at the door and cried, hoping that the gods of heaven and earth and the ancestors of the underworld would hear their grief and see their misfortune.
Patrolling soldiers walked through various cities and towns from time to time, but they did not bring any sense of security.
The people who had lost their relatives looked at the soldiers of the Jing'an Army with very complicated emotions.
They were lucky that the Jingan Army entered the city to deal with the ghost problem, otherwise they might have been skinned and clothed by evil ghosts at some point.
They were also dissatisfied that the Jingan Army disturbed their lives and caused their originally happy family to suddenly fall into pieces.
They were glad that the Jing'an Army had arrived, but they also blamed them for not coming earlier.
Driven by this complicated mood, the common people who lost their relatives were lukewarm towards the Jingan Army and ignored the funeral ceremony of the Jingan Army.
Yes, the Jingan Army also injured many soldiers in yesterday's battle, and even two county warriors were seriously injured.
At dawn, the county guard and his officers brought white linen clothes and sacrificial objects to express respect for the soldiers who died in the battle.
The county prime minister, Wang Qing, could not come. He was enduring the pain of losing his son and counting the county officials who had been replaced by ghosts.
In any case, this was supposed to be a great victory that completely eliminated the ghost problem, but neither the bereaved people nor Sergeant Jingan were happy.
Only the ordinary people and big households in the city who were not affected spontaneously brought various gifts into Chunrongfang to reward the sergeants.
"Master Xiaowei, this battle was too cowardly. I originally wanted to intimidate those painted-skinned people and make them behave honestly.
I didn't expect these ghosts to be so cowardly, they ran away as soon as they were defeated. "
"Don't talk nonsense. This is a victory, a great victory. Only in this way will the brothers' death be worth it.
We must record our merits and demerits, and pay out the pensions as soon as possible. Although we should have the consciousness of dying in battle when we join the army, we must take care of the funeral arrangements of the fallen soldiers. "
"Cai Cheng, you go and choose a team of auxiliary soldiers and a military attaché to set up a camp in the city.
From now on, all the families of those killed in action can go to the camp hall to seek help, and we must not let outsiders bully our brothers’ widows and children. "
"promise."
There are so many shortcomings in this battle to control ghosts that even Captain Jing'an himself is not satisfied.
If he cannot find the ghost nest, even if he helps the people in the city eradicate the ghost problem, his achievements will still be limited.
In this way, it will be difficult for his soldiers to get more profits.
"Zhou Yuan, when I left the city yesterday, I left you to search for the ghosts left behind. Did you find anything unusual?"
"Reporting to the captain, we originally captured a few hiding ghosts, but they all disappeared as soon as the midnight bell rang."
"Where did they go? They can't really be underground in the south of the city.
It seems that it is necessary to recruit corvees, dispatch auxiliary troops, and dig a moat in the south of the city. "
Unlike Captain Jingan who was completely confused, Zhou Yuan had guessed something.
When he was searching for the remaining ghosts last night, he found that the ghosts that suddenly disappeared did not have their health bars instantly cleared, but disappeared in an instant.
At that time, he speculated that the core boss might have been killed by the warriors, and the unknown copy of the secret realm was restarted and refreshed.
The people in the street crying and mourning in the early morning also confirmed his suspicion, but Captain Jing'an denied killing the leading ghost.
This is strange. The boss couldn't have committed suicide, or was secretly discovered by some master and killed on the night of Zhongyuan.
"Reporting to the captain, Luo Xing, the orphan of the Luo Mansion, wishes to see you.
He said that the Painted Skin Ghost once disguised himself as his wife and emptied the entire Luo Mansion. He originally sensed the abnormality, but was secretly imprisoned by the Painted Skin Ghost.
As a last resort, he worked as a slave and tried his best to please others to save his life. He also took the opportunity to learn the secrets of some painted-skinned ghosts. "
"Can I take a blood test?"
"It's been tested, it's flesh and blood, and it's completely normal."
"Take him into the hall."
Faced with the information delivered to his door, Captain Jing'an had no reason to refuse.
Zhou Yuan sat aside and was very curious as to what kind of person could survive in the ghost nest.
Is he a highly skilled servant who can satisfy Hua Pi's erotic desires? Or is he just a lover and intends to spread some false news.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Soldier Jia introduce a person, and the identity introduction above that person's head immediately aroused his great attention.
[Level 4 Love Chief, Qing Yang into Ming Luo Xing, Level 15 Painted Skin Ghost Mother]
Good guy, not only is the name long enough, but the color is also different.
The name "Level 4 Qinggui Qingyang Ruoming Luo Xing" is in normal blood color, and the name "Level 15 Painted Skin Ghost Mother" and the skull icon are gray.
It seems that the title of 'Level 15 Painted Skin Ghost Mother' has expired, and the only valid identity currently is Qinggui Luo Xing.
"Jing'an Luo Xing saw the captain, he was frightened and grateful for his help.
I will tell you everything I know in order to repay you for saving my life. "
The thin man knelt down as soon as he entered the inner hall. His gratitude and respect did not seem to be a deliberate act.
"Since you have provided information, you are my guest. Please sit down and discuss in detail.
If you can answer these two questions: the location of the ghost nest and why the ghosts are abundant, I will take credit for you. "
"I dare not claim credit. I only hope that when the general is satisfied, he can lead me into the camp.
After this ordeal, Xing no longer dares to live alone. He is willing to enter the military fort to practice the art of killing and strengthen his courage. "
"Yes, sir, please speak frankly."
Captain Jing'an was full of expectations, his lover Luo Xing looked excited, but Zhou Yuan was the only one who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Okay, let me tell you why the secret realm dungeon was refreshed. It turns out that you are possessed by an adult, and the identity of the boss seems to be invalid.
"Captain Lieutenant is well-informed and has heard of the most vicious method of beggars, 'harvesting and dismembering'.
My wife, Painted Skin, told me that all this was caused by the beggar leader in the city."
"The beggar leader usually steals children, poisons the mute and maims people, and makes money in this city.
But for a period of time, he was severely suppressed by the county officials, so he hid in the stone channel (sewer) in the city.
Then he planned to dig a drinking well in the stone channel, buy some food and grass, and turn the dark stone channel into his comfortable castle."
"Evil people lead evil things, and the nest of evil spirits appeared at this moment.
The beggar leader found that after digging a well, he could no longer dig down, and the beggars sent in would always be unlucky. The beggar disappeared.
He therefore regarded the dry well as a ghost gate, and from time to time he abandoned some disobedient beggars and sick children. "
"He was right. The dry well led to the nest of ghosts. The beggars he abandoned several times enlightened the ghosts in the nest.
Then the ghosts pushed the door open, peeled the beggar's skin, and used him to continue feeding the ghosts.
As time passed, more and more ghosts gained intelligence. They began to control various professions in Jing'an City, creating accidents, abducting county residents, and eventually became a ghost plague. "
Bang...
Accompanied by a loud noise, the solid table was smashed by the Jing'an school lieutenant, and the surrounding personal soldiers immediately rushed in with weapons.
"He is so arrogant and daring, and his crimes are so heinous. Such criminals should be cut into pieces. It is too easy for him to be skinned alive."
"Captain, calm down. This is not the tragedy of Jing'an City. It is just that the beggar leader dug the ghost nest by chance, which caused the disaster."
"Hmph, beggars and refugees are the last way out for poor people. I never thought that someone would commit such a sin on this tragic road.
Well, since it is impossible to prevent it and there are evil people everywhere, I will cut off their roots and stop evil with evil."
"Pass my order to strictly investigate all the beggars in the city and arrest all beggars.
Those with healthy hands and feet will be sent to the camp as auxiliary soldiers, and those with physical disabilities will be sent to the military supply department as tailors.
From today, as long as I, Jiang Ren, am still the captain of Jing'an, there will be no beggars in this city. I want to see if their evil can compare with the swords and guns in the camp."
"Yes, I will obey your order and clean up the city."
