Chapter 904: One-Day Trip to the Underworld

Everyone present at the time just thought that the "God of Wealth" had a little heatstroke. No one expected that the Mr. Duan who walked out of the cave was no longer the same person as the Mr. Duan who entered the cave.

Afterwards, Duan's company happily signed a tourism development project for Que'ergou with the local authorities. However, when it came to determining the style and theme of the scenic spot, the two sides had obvious differences of opinion...

The local tourism department hopes to improve several natural landscapes in Que'ergou so that tourists can experience the magnificence and beauty of nature. However, Duan Caishen proposed a somewhat strange theme, which is to give tourists a different experience and turn the most distinctive cave in Que'ergou into a one-day tour to the underworld.

At the beginning, each side insisted on its own business, but it turned out that the one who paid the money was the boss, and finally the Queergou Scenic Area was transformed into a horror theme park... But at that time, man-made scenic spots in various places were really varied in order to attract tourists, so it was not uncommon to see horror-themed attractions like Queergou.

Since the horror-themed scenic spot was indeed too advanced at the time, it did not attract many traditional tourists in the early days of its opening. Business was so slow that it almost closed down.

Who would have thought that the situation would suddenly reverse a few months later. Many young people came to take photos and check in after knowing this place, which soon brought up the popularity of the scenic spot, and then tourists from all over the country came to visit one after another...

The incident happened on a sunny afternoon. As it was the weekend, there were more tourists than usual. However, none of the tourists who came here happily for vacation that day had expected that their fate would be completely rewritten today.

At that time, all tickets to the scenic spot were purchased with ID cards, so the scenic spot's ticket purchasing system immediately grasped the identity information of all tourists entering and leaving the scenic spot. Not only that, the most terrible thing was that the scenic spot also had a free activity that day, which was to participate in a lottery with your name, date of birth and time of birth, under the guise of testing your fortune.

The prizes are cash coupons of varying amounts, which can be withdrawn on the spot or used as cash in all places where consumption is needed in the scenic area. Since the face value of these cash coupons is not low, some are even dozens of times the ticket price, almost all tourists who came to play on that day with ID cards participated in the lottery...

"To put it bluntly, we tricked the birth dates of all the tourists that day!" The ghost said this with an unusually excited look, "I still remember clearly what happened that day. Hundreds of us escaped from the hell together. The strong wind and heavy rain instantly covered the sky. We looked around for a body that suited us, just like choosing mules and horses at the market... Some liked old ones, some liked young ones, and I chose a strong middle-aged man."

"Hundreds? How many exactly?" Gu Hao asked in a deep voice.

The ghost thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly... there should be 444 evil ghosts, not counting my eldest brother."

Only at this moment did Gu Hao finally understand that the cause and effect of all this was caused by himself. If he had not had the delusion and agreed to cooperate with Lao Gui... naturally, this series of subsequent events would not have happened.

But now that things have come to this, no matter how much regret there is, it is useless. It is more practical to think about how to save the situation. So Gu Hao asked tentatively, "Since you chose a strong middle-aged man in the first place, why did you choose this little boy now?!"

The ghost smiled bitterly and said, "I can only blame myself for having such a bad vision. Although that body looks strong, it is actually weak inside. It died of illness after only being used for about ten years. I had no choice but to find his grandson to replace it temporarily. This new body is still a child... At least it can be used for a few decades." Gu Hao nodded, and then asked, "There are suddenly fewer evil ghosts in the hell. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people in the underworld?"

Unexpectedly, the ghost said with a smug look on his face, "This is where big brother's cleverness comes in. He said that as long as we don't expose ourselves in the world of the living, the people in the underworld won't go to the Avici Hell to count the number of evil spirits. After all, that's a big project... and we don't have to worry about the remaining evil spirits betraying us, because big brother promised them that he would release a group of evil spirits every sixty years. Those guys will never be able to leave the Avici Hell, so if they have a chance to come out, what's the big deal? Therefore, the evil spirits who stay will definitely fight to protect this secret passage, after all, it is their only hope."

Gu Hao had already suffered enough karma from releasing a group of evil ghosts, so how could he allow that old ghost to release another group? So Gu Hao immediately made a decision and planned to go to the deserted Queergou Scenic Area alone and close the entrance connecting the Yin and Yang worlds...

But first Gu Hao had to solve the problem at hand, which was how to deal with this ghost. If it were in the past, Gu Hao would never care about such things. Whether it was a possession or whose possession it was was other people's business and had nothing to do with him... But now that Gu Hao knew the truth, he could no longer ignore it.

Thinking of this, Gu Hao smiled and asked the ghost, "I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

The ghost said easily, "Of course I should be a good child first and start a new life. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame for the new body I just found for myself?!"

After hearing this, Gu Hao nodded and said, "Then where did the soul of this child go?"

"I put it in the small purse I carry with me. I'll give it to my eldest brother when I have the chance. He has been looking for the souls of boys to nourish himself over the years." The ghost said disapprovingly.

Upon hearing that the child's soul was still there, Gu Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he quietly pulled out a silver needle from his body and pierced his Tianman with lightning speed, instantly piercing the ghost out of the boy's body...

It was the time of the day when the Yang energy was at its strongest. After the ghost lost its body, it immediately hid in various places. Finally, it was forced to hide in an oil painting of a small house on the wall.

Upon seeing this, Gu Hao immediately found the purse containing the boy's main soul, and released it while withdrawing the silver needle that had pierced his forehead. However, the child was too young and looked at his body with a confused look on his face. Finally, Gu Hao raised his leg and kicked him, and then kicked his soul back into his body.

When the child's family came back, the little boy had returned to normal. Naturally, they were very grateful to Gu Hao... Gu Hao did not shy away from asking directly whether an elderly person in the child's father had passed away recently?
