Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 834 Mountain Village Ghosts
When the small pond was eight meters away from Old Chen.

The tape recorder on the table started playing, emitting festive and cheerful music, and Old Chen's body swayed to the music.

What kind of time is this? He still has the mind to dance here?

When Xiaochi got within four meters of Lao Chen, the silhouette of the afro appeared behind the camera, proving that Brother Ji was also there.

Koike was so angry that she could barely hold her camera.

Clearly, what he just experienced was a scary scene specially designed by these two seasoned veterans of shooting paranormal adventure videos to tease this timid newbie!
"You...you've gone too far!"

"Stop jumping, I'm not doing this job anymore, you can find whoever you want..."

Xiao Chi was a good young man. Even when he was so angry, he didn't swear at the two of them. Instead, he slapped Lao Chen on the shoulder to vent his frustration.

Then, Old Chen's head flipped over like a hood being removed.

Only a small portion of flesh remained connecting the neck to the body, and the area below the eyes was completely disfigured. The two wide-open eyes stared blankly at Xiaochi, and the blood flowing from the corners of the eyes flowed backward into the hair and dripped onto the ground.

And even with such a nearly broken body, it was swaying to the rhythm of the music.

"Ah...ah..."

Koike was so frightened that she could barely speak, only making squeaking noises.

The person opposite Old Chen seemed disturbed by the noise and turned off the tape recorder that was playing music. Old Chen's body also fell backward to the ground because no one was there to support him.

The camera lens was pointed at the fallen body.

Old Chen's chest and abdomen were covered in blood, and his chest cavity was almost completely emptied. His rhythmic shaking was not dancing, but rather his flesh being rhythmically torn apart!

Then, the camera pans up.

Wearing a suit and sporting an afro, Brother Kei was sprawled on the broken table, his face covered in blood. He then braced himself with all four limbs, ready to jump up!
"Ah, ah...no!"

Xiaochi panicked and turned to run, but the edge of the camera captured the moment when Ji Ge leaped up like a wild beast!

pat!

The camera fell to the ground, with the lens facing upwards.

The scene changed to swaying tree shadows and a night sky with a crescent moon and twinkling stars.

The background music is Koike's heart-wrenching screams, and after the screams end, there are only sounds of tearing and swallowing...

……

"This is the truth behind the disappearance of the internet celebrity Explosion Base."

“Our people found the camera in the deserted village, but they only found Old Chen’s almost completely eaten body, and did not find Brother Ji and Xiao Chi.”

"Preliminary speculation is that the internet celebrity's explosive genes, for some reason, or perhaps transformed into an evil spirit by some wicked person, suddenly became beastly during the filming of the program, which is why he killed Lao Chen and Xiao Chi."

This is a spacious but simple room.

Bright sunlight streamed through the window. The lower half of the wall was painted with green wainscoting, while the upper half was a yellowish white wall. Several banners hung on the wall, and a teacup sat on a peeling wooden table, almost overflowing with tea leaves and a few goji berries.

Wu Xian sat on a small stool, watching the monitor in front of him play the video that Xiao Chi had taken before she died.

Opposite Wu Xian, the person explaining the video was a middle-aged man around forty years old, dressed in old-fashioned clothes, with almost bald hair in the middle, but stubbornly covering it with the hair on the sides.

The older man adjusted the recording, freezing the image on the scene of Brother Ji lying face down on the table.

Even though the image was trembling with fear at this point, you could still see from the blurry picture that Ki-chan's fingernails were sharp and his face was covered with thick hair, making him look nothing like a normal person.

The older man looked at Wu Xian and asked in a gentle voice:
"That's all the intelligence we have for now. Do you have any further insights?" The man's name was Ge Feng. He was the head of the local clan organization and also a clan member himself.

Even though Wu Xian did not join the City God's Office, his status within the office was still higher than that of this uncle.

Fuyuan City is a megacity with a population of over ten million. There are several smaller cities with populations of over one million surrounding Fuyuan City, and Shanshou County, where this place is located, is an attached county of one of these smaller cities.

The population is small and relatively poor. Although there are branches of the City God Temple, the number of dependents managed is only a few, unlike the large number in Fuyuan City.

There isn't even a single Lotus Clan member here, let alone two Lotus Clan members.

When a member of a family rises to a certain level, they almost always move to live in a big city. This is not out of vanity, but out of practical considerations.

Family members are required to visit blessed lands regularly, but in such small cities, the number of blessed lands is limited, and there are not many targets for family members to choose from. Sometimes, they can only travel alone.

Therefore, when faced with such evil spirit incidents, it is necessary to seek help from higher-level cities.

Wu Xian was a family member sent by Fuyuan City to provide support. He tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"I have three questions."

"The video says the village was moved down the mountain because of inconvenient water and electricity. Is this true or false?"

"Are you sure this incident involving evil spirits is unrelated to the local environment?"

"And... why did you invite me?"

Wu Xian was troubled by having nowhere to take Pang Hu and Hei Gu to play, so he accepted Han Xiaoying's invitation.

The invitation said that you could bring your pets to play here, but you would need to help resolve an evil spirit incident. However, Wu Xian couldn't see any connection between the evil spirit incident in the video and the pets.

At this moment, Hei Gu and Pang Hu were also in the room.

One of them was lying on his knees, fast asleep, biting its own tail.

One person was sitting in a chair eating peanuts and sunflower seeds, carefully throwing the shells into the trash can, showing great civility and politeness.

After hearing this, Uncle Ge wiped the sweat from his face and forehead with a tissue.

"There must be a reason for the village's relocation. I was in charge of related work back then, and the elderly people in the village all know me."

"The city's City God Bureau also came here to investigate. The villagers are all elderly men and women, and there are no abnormalities in their physical or mental health. There is no possibility that they are being controlled by evil spirits."

"In addition, the village has always been known for its simple and honest people, and there have been no cases of evil spirits in recent years, until the internet celebrity from Fuyuan City came here."

"As for your last question..."

Uncle Ge took a sip of tea, chewed the goji berries inside, and swallowed them.

“We have few relatives here and little experience in dealing with evil spirits. I don’t want them to die in reality instead of in the blessed land, so I can only ask for help from higher authorities.”

"And I have some selfish motives."

“The environment in the new village is excellent. I have always wanted to develop this place into an area where families can bring their pets to play freely. If you are satisfied with your visit, please spread the word when you get back. This will bring me many more customers, and the villagers in the new village will have an extra source of income.”

"Finally, there's one more thing..."

At this point, Uncle Ge's voice trembled slightly:
"The city has sent people to capture this evil spirit many times, but all their efforts have been in vain. The evil spirit is hiding too well."

"Only once, a family member from the county took his pet to the new village to conduct a private investigation, but mysteriously disappeared. The clues he left behind were related to the pet, so I concluded that the conditions for the evil spirit to appear might be related to the animal the investigator was carrying!"
