Chapter 903: Offering

It turns out that the young general was a useless second-generation official. Although he had some military power, he had no ambition at all. After being "enlightened" by Gu Hao, his temperament suddenly changed. He went to fight everywhere, determined to become a hegemon. Wherever he went, there was war and the people were living in misery... Fortunately, the old ghost who was reincarnated as a young general did not live long in this life and died from a stray bullet in a battle.

But by this time the old ghost had already mastered the art of taking over other people's bodies, so his soul used this method to find a new identity for himself, and once again became a general in the army, continuing to fight for dominance and committing countless killings.

Only then did Gu Hao realize that things were developing in a direction that he could not control. At that time, he also realized the dangers of the art of possessing another's body. So in order to prevent the old ghost from committing more killings after possessing another's body, he designed a plan to let the ghost catch the old ghost.

The art of possessing another's body was a forbidden art in the underworld. Not only did the old ghost possess someone else's body, he also committed countless sins of murder. In the end, he was imprisoned in the hell of endless suffering, and could never be reborn...

Although the old ghost was unwilling, he did not dare to give Gu Hao away easily, otherwise he would be punished with aggravated crimes and might be beaten to death...Although Gu Hao was proficient in the art of possession at that time, he had not actually carried out it himself, so he was not too worried about being implicated. In addition, he calculated that his life span was not over yet, so he was naturally more fearless.

Many years later, Gu Haoyang of that life died. He knew that once he returned to the underworld, he would be held accountable for helping the old ghost to seize another's body. He might even be put in the same "cell" with the old ghost, and they would fight to the death. So he made up his mind and decided to completely escape the suffering of reincarnation...

But in Gu Hao's opinion, the art of taking over someone else's body was too overbearing and he couldn't do such a thing as snatching someone else's body for no reason. So he had to settle for the second best and thought of another way, which was to offer his body.

The so-called sacrifice, as the name suggests, means voluntarily donating one's body. Of course, this voluntary willingness is not unconditional. Gu Hao must help the person who offers his body to realize a wish. Generally, the things that can be exchanged for one's life are either revenge or gratitude, and most of them are those who want revenge... So Gu Hao has been walking in the world with this method, and his identity has changed one after another until he became the Gu Hao of today.

But just a while ago, Gu Hao took on a small job of exorcism. The 12-year-old son of a winery owner suddenly behaved abnormally and his personality changed drastically. He was like a completely different person compared to before, and even some of his small habits in life changed.

When Gu Hao first went there, he thought it was just a common evil spirit, but when he saw the child, he knew something was wrong. Although the child's personality had changed a lot, his body did not show any signs of being possessed by an evil spirit...

All the circumstances indicated that the 12-year-old boy had been possessed by another spirit...but this was not what surprised Gu Hao the most, because what happened next made him realize that something big might have gone wrong in the underworld.

  It turned out that after Gu Hao was sure that the child had been possessed by another soul, he sent his family away and wanted to negotiate with them alone. Since things had already happened, there was no possibility of getting the boy's soul back, so Gu Hao wanted to ask the little boy what his plans were now?

Who would have thought that before Gu Hao could even open his mouth, the other party actually called out a name he had used in his previous lives. The only ghosts who knew this name were the evil ghosts he had met during his last reincarnation in the underworld...

After a brief conversation, Gu Hao finally remembered who the other person was. It turned out that he was the ghost that had always been with the old ghost. It was impossible for the other person to be reincarnated as a human after being a ghost for several lifetimes. At most, he would be reduced to the animal realm. However, once he was reincarnated as an animal, he would lose his human spirituality and it would be even more impossible for him to take over someone else's body.

"I remember that you went to the endless hell...how could you be reincarnated into the human world so soon?" Gu Hao asked in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, the other party smiled mysteriously and said, "How is that possible? Of course it was my eldest brother who brought me out." "Eldest brother?! Which eldest brother can drag you out of the hell and bring you into the world?" Gu Hao felt that the other party's words were extremely unreliable, but it was an indisputable fact that he was right in front of him.

After hearing this, the other party looked at Gu Hao with a fake smile and asked, "Brother, don't you know which one?!"

Now that things have come to this, how could Gu Hao not know? He then asked about the details of how the other party escaped from the underworld. He thought that this ghost would be reluctant to talk, but he told Gu Hao everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans...

It turned out that the old ghost accidentally discovered that a crack in the hell actually connected to a cave in the deep mountains of the living world. Unfortunately, that place was rarely visited by people, and even if the old ghost came to the living world, he could not find a usable body... and could only be trapped in the cave.

The reason why he couldn't leave the cave was because ghosts like Lao Gui who came back through "illegal means" couldn't wander around in the world of the living for a long time, otherwise they would be discovered by the ghost messengers nearby within a few hours, exposing their tracks...

Time flew by and a few years passed. One day, a group of people suddenly came to the mountain. They walked and stopped, took photos everywhere, and finally found the cave in the mountain. Everyone seemed very happy, cheering and hugging each other in the cave.

The old ghost hiding in the dark knew that the time had come for him to leave, so he looked around the group for a long time and finally chose a well-dressed middle-aged man.

The man seemed to be the leader of the group. Everyone was very polite to him, surrounding him and calling him, "Mr. Duan..."

Unexpectedly, when the group was carefully helping Mr. Duan to leave the cave, he suddenly fell to the ground for no apparent reason and instantly lost consciousness. The others were all stunned when they saw this. They didn't know what to do for a while, and they all talked about the little first aid knowledge they knew.

Some of them stepped forward and pinched the man's Ren Zhong, some kept fanning him, and some were ready to pour cold water on the man's face in an attempt to wake him up... Fortunately, Mr. Duan was not unconscious for long, and he woke up after a while.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the man had finally woken up. If something had happened to this guy in the mountains, this key development project would have been completely ruined.

After Mr. Duan woke up, the assistant beside him quickly handed him the kettle and asked him worriedly how he felt now. Mr. Duan didn't say anything after hearing this, but just waved his hand gently, indicating that he would be fine after a rest.
