I become a god in another world

Chapter 552: Rakshasa Resurrection
Chapter 552

On the other side, as the ghost path opened, Xie Jingsheng rushed forward quickly.

With the records from 58 years ago in his mind, he quickly rushed to the government office.

Bushes of ghost flowers swayed on both sides of the Yellow Springs, and the villagers of the Ghost Village stared at him coldly, watching him leave.

Xie Jingsheng had conducted ghost burials and "lured ghosts" several times over the years, and had dealt with ghosts many times, but when he was stared at by so many ghosts, he still felt frightened.

A bad premonition surged into his heart, and for the first time he felt a genuine sense of sadness: a ghost rider who deals with ghosts will not have a good ending, and sooner or later he will end up associating with ghosts.

Such a discouraging thought flashed through his mind, and at this moment, the desire to save Dijing and quell the ghost disaster prevailed. He rushed through the ghost road, and a ray of light appeared in front of him. Mr. Xie led the way and rushed towards the place where the faint light was.

The moment he entered the government office, Mr. Xie's feet touched the real ground of the human world. The cold feeling caused by being marked by the ghosts disappeared. Mr. Xie felt the chill fade away, and he felt more at ease.

Even the suppressed breathing of the living at this moment, as well as the panic and anxiety among the survivors, made him feel somewhat familiar.

……

After entering the government office, chaos had already occurred.

There was no one in front of the door, and the ground was littered with scattered objects, including stepped on shoes, knives from the yamen, and blood on the ground. The tables were overturned, and the incense burners used by the yamen were scattered all over the ground.

From all this chaos, we can see the previous panic and confusion.

Gray fog filled the air all around, and everyone could hear the suppressed breathing and the rapid heartbeat of the survivors coming from the yamen.

"There is someone inside." Zhao Fusheng said.

She was the strongest at the moment, and after she finished speaking, she led the way inside.

Feng Du, Liu Yizhen and others followed her into the hall of the government office. The hall was empty, but the door was closed. Several headless corpses lay on the ground. Judging from the degree of stiffness of the corpses, it seemed that they had been dead for some time.

"anyone there?"

Zhao Fusheng shouted.

“Is anyone here——”

'Is anyone there?'

Waves of echoes rang out in the empty government office.

As soon as she spoke, there was a commotion in the tightly closed government office. After a while, someone inside asked in a trembling voice:
“Is he alive?”

It was a man's voice. Although he revealed fear when speaking, the fact that he dared to speak at such a time showed that he was a man of extraordinary courage.

Liu Yizhen's heart moved, and he looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"This sound is like——"

Zhao Fusheng turned his head and looked at him, and the two exchanged a tacit look.

The person who was speaking at this time was hiding in the government office and did not dare to show up, but Liu Yizhen recognized the identity of the speaker - he was Liu Huacheng!

"We are from the Demon Suppression Department. Is there a ghost case happening here?"

Zhao Fusheng asked.

When Liu Huacheng in the house heard her introduce herself, he gasped several times.

Even though the door was closed, the feeling of relaxation and relief still came through.

Someone was eager to open the door, but Liu Huacheng stopped them in a low voice. After a while, he said:
"There has just been a ghost disaster here. Please understand, adults, we dare not open the door to meet you. We can only answer your questions through the door."

He paused and said:
"I'm sure you all know that a few days ago, a policeman named Luo who lived in Zangjiaci Street in the Imperial Capital slaughtered the magistrate of Guanjiang County."

The official registration of the magistrate of Guanjiang County was in the Demon Suppression Division. Once the news of the government officials slaughtering the Demon Suppression Division spread, it turned into a conflict between the Han Dynasty government and the Demon Suppression Division.

Although the ordinary police officers in the imperial capital did not say anything about the fact that Luosha committed a crime and was imprisoned, they felt very unfair towards Luosha in their hearts.

They were all government servants, and logically, like the envoys of the Demon Suppression Division, they all worked for the imperial court, but their statuses were as different as heaven and earth.

The envoy looked down on the officers and either beat or scolded them. The act of Luosha killing the envoy made many officers dare not say anything on the surface, but felt proud in private.

There is no need to elaborate on all these matters at this time. Liu Huacheng did not dwell on this issue, but said:
"Two days ago, Luosha was killed—"

I thought that with the death of Rakshasa, the situation would be settled.

Liu Huacheng has been unable to eat or sleep recently because of this case. He originally thought that the case would be settled once it was judged, but two days later, something unexpected happened.

"This morning, the government office was still dark, and the guard who reported the time even got it wrong."

Liu Huacheng still has lingering fears when he talks about the situation at that time:
"It was already the end of the Mao hour (around 7 a.m.), but I still hadn't heard the rooster ringing the time."

Anything abnormal is a sign of evil, and the whole government office was filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness.

Liu Huacheng had been an official for several years and had long been accustomed to getting up on time. He got up and packed his things, but it was still dark outside.

After waiting for more than an hour, the attendant reminded me that the road was blocked by heavy fog and the sun had not risen yet.

At that time, everyone was a little panicked.

But the Imperial Capital is located under the feet of the Emperor. It is the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau and is home to many ghost riders. Initially, no one thought that anything would happen.

Until noon (about 10 o'clock in the morning), there was still thick fog covering the sky, and a runner from the government office came to report that all the roosters in the government office had died and the livestock in the kitchen had also died.

All this portends something ominous.

Liu Huacheng was terrified and always felt that something big was going to happen.

As an official, he had good insight. In his panic, he summoned his long-time attendant and asked him to send someone to the prison.

Two days ago, Rakshasa was beheaded.

Due to the special circumstances of the prisoner, he didn't know whether the people in the Demon Suppression Division had calmed down because of Luosha's death, so he had not yet sent anyone to collect Luosha's body.

The prisoner's body was kept in the Anle Hall of the government office and temporarily guarded by a coroner. Once news came from the Demon Suppression Division, the deceased's relatives and friends would be summoned to take the body back and sew it up for burial.

For some unknown reason, Luosha caused Liu Huacheng great trouble during his lifetime, and he also cast a shadow on Liu Huacheng after his death.

He couldn't sleep well until this body was sent away.

Just when Liu Huacheng was feeling uneasy, his eyelids started twitching as soon as the order was issued.

The Rakshasa's head disappeared.

This discovery caused panic in the government office.

Luosha's death itself made the government servants feel indignant for him. This man was brave and righteous, and had a good reputation among his colleagues. After he was beheaded, it was very likely that his body would be retaliated by the Demon Suppression Division, so it is not ruled out that someone stole his head and buried it in order to preserve part of his body.

Just as Liu Huacheng was about to order a thorough investigation throughout the entire government, something major happened.

The headless body of the dead Rakshasa stood up and removed the head of the coroner in the hall on the spot.

No one knew about the incident when it happened.

It was not until the attendant sent by Liu Huacheng met the coroner face to face and saw that he was neglecting his duties. He was about to scold him - but he noticed that there was something wrong with the clothes the coroner was wearing.

The coroner was wearing the government uniform, which was stained with blood. After Luosha died, the government officials felt pity for the death of the righteous man and bravely changed his prisoner clothes to make him look more respectable.

The attendant was a smart man. When he saw the coroner's pale face and dead eyes, which did not look like a living person, he was terrified and immediately stopped talking and wanted to retreat.

But how can a person escape from a ghost?

A pair of cold hands grabbed his neck at some point, and with just a slight lift, his head was lifted off the ground, and his headless body fell to the ground.

……

"Once the evil spirit revived, it killed 17 or 18 people, then left the government office and disappeared."

As soon as Liu Huacheng finished speaking, Feng Du said, "Demon Suppression Division."

Everyone was startled. Just as Xie Jingsheng was about to speak, Zhao Fusheng asked:

"Rakshasa had a sword when he was alive. Where did he put it?"

After she asked this question, Liu Huacheng paused, thought for a while, and then said:

"I don't know where Luosha's sword is, but I know he used a murderous knife when he killed someone."

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the trial of a case requires both personal and material evidence. After the third trial, the criminal will sign and seal his name before being reported to the court for execution to avoid false and wrongful convictions.

But this case is different, Luosha voluntarily surrendered himself.

On the day he broke into the post station, there were peddlers and hawkers around the post station who witnessed the incident. Afterwards, he came out covered in blood and confessed his guilt. There was no room for interrogation of this case. Moreover, as it involved matters between the Demon Suppression Division and the government office, the case handling process was also different from that of ordinary cases.

Liu Huacheng said:

"According to Luosha, he threw away the knife after killing the person, fearing that he would scare the people by bringing the knife out. Later, we sent people to search the post station, but did not find the murder weapon."

Liu Huacheng's words also meant that the murderous knife had mysteriously disappeared.

The Investiture of the Gods had reminded Zhao Fusheng that Rakshasa's murderous knife had been transformed into a very evil object that accompanied the ghost's resurrection after his death. He needed to retrieve this object, and only then could the Yin Chai Ma Mian be truly complete and his strength would be greatly enhanced.

She paused:

"According to what you said, you don't even know where the Rakshasa's murderous knife and head are now?"

"…It is my incompetence."

Liu Huacheng said with some shame.

Zhao Fusheng sighed silently and thought to himself: I am still a little greedy.

I thought that with the convenience of the law of reincarnation, I could go back to 58 years ago and find the ghost sword of Yincha by taking advantage of the opportunity.

But now it seems that the whereabouts of the ghost sword may require another opportunity.

"Fusheng, the Demon Suppression Division is in danger."

Xie Jingsheng reminded.

Zhao Fusheng suppressed his distracting thoughts and nodded:
"Let's go to the Demon Suppression Division."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jingsheng couldn't help but smile.

As he smiled, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Feng Du was looking at him. Xie Jingsheng was so smart that he immediately understood what Feng Du meant by that look.

Xie Jingsheng is the golden general of the imperial capital. He has been controlling ghosts for decades and has extraordinary strength. But after the trip to Shangyang County, he was quite polite and respectful to Zhao Fusheng.

Ghost riders have always respected the strong, and it was obvious that he recognized Zhao Fusheng's strength.

"Without further ado, Man Zhou, clear the way."

Zhao Fusheng actually still had many doubts in his mind, but this was not the time for everyone to gossip. He had many questions that could only be discussed after the case of the headless ghost was solved.

Kuai Manzhou responded.

The ghost road was reopened, and Xie Jingsheng led the way and rushed into the ghost realm.

"Cross the Yellow Springs and go to the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Division—"

As Mr. Xie finished his words, everyone's figures disappeared into the open space of the government office.

Liu Huacheng, who was hiding in the government office, had not heard any noise from outside for a long time. The survivors in the government office were shocked, scared and felt very uneasy.

After a long time, Liu Huacheng couldn't resist his curiosity and mustered up the courage to ask someone to open the door. When they opened the door and looked out, the room was empty and the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau were nowhere to be found.

"I never had the chance to see which adult was the first to arrive here--" Liu Huacheng said with some regret.

……

At this time, on the other side, Liu Yizhen, who had entered the ghost realm, had the same regret as Liu Huacheng.

Although he knew the situation was urgent, Liu Huacheng was his only relative.

He had traveled back forty years in the reincarnation ghost carriage and met Liu Huacheng once. But now that the grandfather and grandson met again, he could only listen to a few words Liu Huacheng said through the door.

Unfortunately, the capital was in chaos at that time and the case of the headless ghost was also involved. Liu Yizhen also knew the priorities of the matter.

While Liu Yi was daydreaming, his awareness decreased and he did not notice any unusual changes in the ghost path.

Everyone in the group was preoccupied at the moment and ignored the subtle changes around them.

At some point, the heads of the dead floating in the Yellow Spring slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

The ghost spring became more turbid, and the ghost flower became listless.

The knocking sounds behind Xie Jingsheng were getting slower and slower. The evil spirit marking law that guided him forward was gradually becoming ineffective without him knowing when.

Flying in the air, Kuai Manzhou, who was clearing a path with the power of a ghost, had red eyes. Blood flowed out from the child's eye sockets, turning into crisscrossing thin lines, covering her entire little face.

Zhao Fusheng felt a strange silence.

Her body shuddered involuntarily, and she immediately pulled her mind away from the messy thoughts:
"Something's wrong!"

She gave a low drink.

With Zhao Fusheng's low shout, everyone immediately became alert.

Everyone stopped, and Liu Yizhen's eyes became clear after a moment of confusion.

"Just now I——"

He recalled his previous confusion and realized that his sanity had collapsed at that moment.

Although he was emotionally agitated by seeing his deceased relatives and elders again, he had been living with ghosts since he was a child and had extraordinary willpower, so he should not have been so distracted.

Apparently some strange force was affecting him and distracting him.

"My Lord, I seem to be a little bit wrong—"

Just then, Wu Shaochun suddenly spoke.

He seemed to be in some pain, with forbearance and panting in his voice.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and they saw that Wu Shaochun's cheeks turned red and translucent. Under everyone's gaze, his skin was like a tomato that had been blanched in boiling water, and the skin quickly peeled off.

Bubbles as big as soybeans appeared all over his cheeks, making his face instantly look as rotten as paper that had been soaked in water.

Although his expression was still calm, his breathing became rapid and he couldn't help but reveal a look of pain in his eyes.

Not only Wu Shaochun but also Zhao Fusheng had experienced changes.

Shadows gathered under her feet.

The beggar ghost who was originally suppressed and the evil ghost who gave first and took later suddenly revived at the same time, and the two ghosts attacked her at the same time, wanting to take her life.

Things happened so fast that Chen Duozi, who was standing next to Zhao Fusheng, exclaimed when he saw this scene:
"grown ups--"

As she shouted, she wanted to ask the ghost to control the ghost, but for some reason, her rules seemed to be ineffective, and the moment she thought about it, her stomach hurt sharply.

Her waist was sore and her abdomen was bloated, and her flat belly had bulged slightly, as if she was six months pregnant.

"ulterior motive!"

As soon as this thought flooded into Chen Duozi's mind, her face turned pale.
