I become a god in another world

Chapter 597 Died with a Smile
Chapter 597

This sentence has proved that Mr. Xie is ready to die in the underworld.

He didn't say any more nonsense.

He had also heard the previous conversation between Zhao Fusheng and others. As the situation was urgent, he strode towards one of the palace lanterns.

The lights were extinguished by the breath of the evil spirit, but the remaining smoke had not yet dissipated. As the gray and black smoke dispersed, it emitted a foul stench of decay.

This stench seemed to come from the abyss of evil spirits, formed by the ghosts' resentment, evil spirits and obsessions during their lifetime, and it went straight into people's lungs.

Shadows gathered under Lord Xie's feet, and the evil spirit was coming. The extinguished ghost lantern actually caught fire without any fire.

The pale light formed a halo that enveloped Lord Xie.

His consciousness was in a trance for a moment.

Suddenly, all his memories about the Zhongdu ghost case became blurry, and the most profound impression left in his mind was his home in Teikyo.

Life at home has been better since he started controlling ghosts.

The family left the cramped house in a corner alley in the city where they originally lived and moved into a luxurious mansion.

There are more servants and maids serving in the house, his wife is gentle and virtuous, and his son was born two years ago.

The yard was renovated at great expense.

……

All kinds of memories flashed through Lord Xie's mind, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered the Zhongdu ghost case that he was going to solve.

The headless ghost in the imperial capital revived and the ghost rider was forced into the palace.

While trapped in the palace, he was still worried about his parents and wife at home, but at this moment, a group of strangers broke into the Chongde Hall.

This group of strangers had unknown origins and claimed to be ghost riders from Wan'an County.

One of them was named Xie, and looked similar to him. As soon as he saw this person, he felt a deep liking for him and wanted to get close to him.

"Xie Jingsheng - it's Jingsheng -"

This man's name was the same as his son's, and the person traveling with him told him that this was his future son.

The Xie family has a successor. If he is lucky enough to survive after this matter is over, he will tell his parents, wife and children about this matter. I wonder how happy the whole family will be.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked around.

We have to get rid of the headless ghost first.

There was no one else to be seen in the Zhongdu Hall.

The lights in the hall were fluorescent green, and it was a bit eerie.

Lord Xie touched his chest, where he found a small square box containing his eating utensils.

He opened the box and found a stick of incense that was half burned inside.

It is unknown what the incense body is made of. It is dark brown in color and emits a foul odor.

Next to the incense was a handful of soil, which was half dry and looked like it had been mixed with blood.

Lord Xie stared at the incense for a long while, and finally took a deep breath, forcing himself to stretch out his trembling hands, took out the incense, and inserted it into the small handful of blood and soil. As soon as he inserted it, a terrible thing happened - the incense burned by itself without fire.

As the black gas slowly rose into the air, the area around him quickly became darker.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust—"

Lord Xie's voice echoed in the empty Zhongdu Hall.

He held the box in his hands and felt the evil spirit he controlled reviving.

The shadow on the ground squirmed and stood up. The ghost’s toes pressed against Lord Xie’s toes. Its pale, cold face faced him, and it slowly reached out to grab him.

But the moment he touched Lord Xie, the ghost incense that Lord Xie was holding in front of him ignited.

The smell of fireworks attracted the attention of the evil ghost. The ghost turned slowly and stiffly, greedily sucking the incense into its body.

Mr. Xie’s crisis has been temporarily resolved.

"People walk in the open, ghosts walk in the dark... Xie family... ghosts lead the way, using my footprints to measure the ghost road, I take a step, and the ghosts follow. Follow me! Follow me! Follow me!"

He had never been so calm.

Ever since he started controlling ghosts, he has been terrified every time he has used the power of evil spirits.

People are afraid of being attacked by ghosts and dying in the disaster caused by ghosts.

But this time is different, "Jingsheng is trapped in a ghost case."

He recalled Xie Jingsheng's eyes being tightly closed, and he was in a nightmare, with clear fingerprints appearing on his neck. His expression became even more resolute:
"Using my footprints to measure the ghost road——"

"I take one step, and the ghost follows me all the way—"

"Follow me! Follow me! Follow me!"

After several calls of "Follow me", a cold wind suddenly blew in the hall.

With a whoosh sound, the incense stick he was holding in front of him instantly burned bigger.

The fireworks gave off a pungent smell, and the evil spirits hidden in the dark revived.

At some point, there was a faint smell of blood all around, the air became humid, and a layer of faint mist began to appear on the ground.

Wherever Lord Xie walked, the soles of his feet seemed to liquefy, leaving dark red bloody footprints.

On top of these bloody footprints, a layer of dark footprints appeared at some point and soon covered Lord Xie's bloody footprints.

"I take one step, and the ghost follows me all the way—"

Lord Xie felt a cold and chilly aura approaching, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

"Female capital—Female capital—"

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. He shouted twice, but no one responded. However, the footprints behind him were getting closer and closer.

The evil ghost was close to his back, the ghost incense in front was about to burn out, and the evil ghost leading the way had slowly turned its head.

Just when Lord Xie was extremely anxious, a faint snoring sound was heard.

He looked up in surprise and joy.

I saw a cloud of black fog appearing at some point in the direction of the entrance on the left side of the back of the hall, and the snoring sound came from the black fog.

Lord Xie walked towards the ghost realm without hesitation.

"I take one step, and the ghost follows. Follow me, follow me, follow me—"

Every time he shouted, the ghost behind him moved closer, almost touching his back.

A chill rose up, and the evil spirit grabbed his neck without him noticing.

The ghost leading the way in front also turned his head and faced him face to face.

Lord Xie's body began to decay, and his feet turned into flesh paste. With every step he took, a lot of flesh and blood fell off, forming footprints that were left in the hall.

He walked step by step towards the depths of the ghost realm.

The moment the two evil spirits grabbed him at the same time, his thoughts suddenly became a little confused.

In a trance, he seemed to have had a big dream.

In his dream, he completed the headless ghost case and felt indescribably relieved.

"I wonder how my parents, wife and children are doing—"

He thought anxiously and excitedly:
"After the headless ghost case occurred, too many ghost disasters were caused, and many people from the Demon Suppression Division suffered from its clutches." After these ghost riders revived, they began to wreak havoc in the city again.

Fortunately, the Demon Suppression Division has always protected the families of ghost riders, and his own family is also among those protected. His parents, wife, and children should be safe now.

"By the way, I met a young man in the palace with the same name as my son—"

He said:
"I must tell Yunniang about this when I get back—"

When he thought of the beauty, he couldn't help but smile.

……

Outside the dream, Zhao Fusheng witnessed Lord Xie walking into the halo of light, and he soon fell asleep against the wall.

I don’t know what Mr. Xie was dreaming about, but a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

In a short while, Lord Xie's body fell apart, spurting out a large amount of blood mist.

A strong smell of blood enveloped the hall.

When the blood mist dissipated, Lord Xie had disappeared.

Where he had slept against the wall, there was only a human-shaped mark splattered with blood, foreshadowing an ominous outcome.

And the moment he disappeared, the evil spirit he controlled revived.

The dent on Xie Jingsheng's neck that was pressed down by the purple mark disappeared when Xie Jingsheng was strangled by the headless ghost in his dream.

"Hmm..." Xie Jingsheng let out a long sigh, his deformed neck returned to its original position, and his breathing became much smoother.

Zhao Fusheng winked at Fan Bisi and the other man.

The two brothers stood up and walked towards the evil spirit controlled by Lord Xie and locked it up tightly.

Wu Shaochun and Meng Po squatted down and woke Xie Jingsheng up:

"Master Xie, it's time to wake up."

Xie Jingsheng suddenly woke up.

"It's careless!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately looked alert and turned over and sat up:

"I just—"

He moved his nose and smelled blood:
"What is the taste?"

After that, he asked:
"Someone died?"

Meng Po showed pity in her eyes and nodded after hearing this:

"The headless ghost got out of control and killed some people—"

History is irreversible.

58 years ago, Mr. Xie, who died in the headless ghost case, will eventually die in this case - but now he voluntarily enters the dream again to lure ghosts in order to save his son.

Zhao Fusheng couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the effect that led to the cause, or the cause that led to the effect.

Xie Jingsheng saw the expressions of the crowd and felt a little uneasy:

"Why is Meng Po looking at me like this? Is, is there something wrong?"

He touched his neck, feeling anxious, and wanted to speak to relieve his inner anxiety:
"Just now in my dream, I led a ghost on the road. Back then, my father died in this ghost disaster. But this time is different. This time I led a ghost - I led the headless ghost -"

He chattered non-stop, but after saying a few words, he saw Zhao Fusheng remained silent, and a bad premonition came over him:
"Where's my father?"

"You want to attract a ghost to save your father?"

Zhao Fusheng asked inconspicuously.

Xie Jingsheng looked around, but didn't see Lord Xie, and he felt even more uneasy.

He nodded:
"You think, if I lead the headless ghost away, nothing will happen to my father again, right?"

Zhao Fusheng sighed silently, not knowing how to respond to him for a moment.

Xie Jingsheng wanted to save his father so much that he lured ghosts into his dreams.

He did attract the headless ghost, but he was also haunted by evil spirits in his dreams and his life was in danger.

After waking up, Mr. Xie saw that his son was in trouble, so he took the initiative to enter the dream, willing to lead the ghost away and save his son's life.

After realizing this, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Zhao Fusheng said in a gentle voice:

"Thank you, sir. The ghost disaster has ended. We should wake up Fengdu."

"The ghost case is solved?" The fear in Xie Jingsheng's heart almost overflowed. He looked at Wu Shaochun, but Wu Shaochun couldn't bear to meet his gaze and avoided his sight.

He looked at Liu Yizhen again, and Liu Yizhen's gaze turned to the distance.

Xie Jingsheng followed his gaze and saw the blood shadow imprinted on the wall.

It was a bloody shadow that was not very upright, as if a bloody man had once stood there against the wall.

"..."

Xie Jingsheng, who had always been smiling, was stunned the moment he saw the blood shadow.

"When he got into the accident, I was still young, so I don't know what he was like before the accident—"

He murmured:
"I can't actually remember what he looked like—"

So when the two met again later, his reaction was not that enthusiastic. It might be that after years of controlling ghosts, he had become cold-hearted. It might also be that he was homesick. When he saw his father who had died many years ago appear in front of him, he didn't know how to recognize him for a moment, so he missed the words he wanted to say to him and said goodbye.

"He cares about you very much."

Zhao Fusheng said.

Xie Jingsheng lowered his head.

……

While the two were talking, Fan Wujiu saw that his brother had subdued the evil spirit left by Lord Xie, and heard Zhao Fusheng asking him to call Feng Du. He hurried to Feng Du's side, raised his hands and slapped him on the face:
"Hey, hey, Lord Fengdu, it's time to wake up."

The two crisp sounds of slaps not only woke up Fengdu who had been sleeping for 58 years, but also woke up old Fengdu who was about to take a nap nearby.

He opened his eyes wide and said blankly:
"You kid——"

"hey-hey--"

Fan Wujiu withdrew his hand and laughed dryly twice.

Zhao Fusheng quickly put away the pity in his heart, and his eyes became sharp:
"Everyone knows the reason for this ghost case. Paper Man Zhang (Zang Xiongwu) is in Zhongdu City. We can't let him get away—"

She said:
"Try to catch Paper Man Zhang. If you can't catch Paper Man Zhang, you must catch Zang Xiongwu."

"it is good!"

Xie Jingsheng gritted his teeth and climbed up.

But the moment he finished speaking, in another corner behind the hall, a large man in a green robe who was lying on the ground suddenly turned over and sat up.

Amid the sound of "ding-ling-ling", black air surged, and a strange ghost car appeared in front of everyone.

"Ghost car!"

Zhao Fusheng's eyes narrowed, and she immediately summoned the List of Gods and took out the Ghost and God Order.

But although she was fast, the ghost car was even faster.

The ghost horse neighed, the golden bell rang, and the ghost chariot rushed to the back of the palace like smoke.

In a trance, he saw the back door of the ghost carriage open, and a paper man named Zhang with white hair and a black robe was sitting at the rear of the carriage, sneering at everyone.

But in the sight of everyone, his figure disappeared on the spot, and then appeared beside the green-robed evil ghost who was driving the car.

He snatched the ghost book and wrote his name on it.

The carriage passed through the ghost palace in an instant and disappeared on the spot.

Zhao Fusheng sighed:
"He can't be caught."

Meng Po looked unhappy:

"Once this scourge escapes, there will be endless troubles."

I don’t know how many people lost their families and lived a miserable life because of him.

“History cannot be changed.”

This time, Paper Man Zhang borrowed the car to escape, and I'm afraid Zang Xiongwu will also be taken away by the ghost car.

He would take advantage of the headless ghost case to flee the capital with his son, and eventually settle in Wan'an County, becoming a local scourge until he met Zhao Fusheng 58 years later, and then his family business was burned down, and he went from being in the light to being in the dark.

"Forget it, it's destined to be like this."

Zhao Fusheng hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head:
"Deal with the Imperial Capital's ghost disaster first."

As the paper man Zhang left, the ghost lanterns in this place went out, and those who were lucky enough to survive the ghost disaster woke up one after another.

When everyone saw the headless corpses all over the ground, they guessed something and their faces turned pale. They touched their necks with lingering fear.

Mr. Xie's disappearance did not attract anyone's attention.

In a ghost disaster, the death of a ghost rider is a normal thing - and human nature is both selfish and selfless. In such a dangerous case, it is a great joy for ordinary people to save their lives, so why would they care whether others die or not?

Zhao Fusheng summoned the Ghost and God Order and invited the ghost troupe to lead the way to the underworld.

The opera troupe began to set up the stage and perform in the Ghost Temple in Zhongdu.

The ghost actresses came on stage one after another, and as soon as the gongs and suonas sounded, evil spirits swarmed in from all directions.

In the imperial capital, the revived evil spirits all heard the sound of ghost theater at the same time. They were bewitched and gave up the rules and rushed towards the direction of the ghost theater troupe.

……

In a home of a surviving family in the urban area, they had been marked by an evil spirit. When they saw the evil spirit coming through the wall and thought they were doomed, the parents hugged their child and waited for the evil spirit to kill them.

At this moment, a strange, sarcastic and resentful voice of a woman was heard faintly.

The expected death and suffering did not come.

The person who had closed his eyes tightly and waited for the evil ghost to attack for a long time opened his eyes in panic, only to find that the evil ghost had disappeared.
