The Growth of a God

Chapter 126: Strange Items of Misfortune (35)

In the tomb of the gods, the [Sinking Zone].

Although the gods have fallen, only their remnants remain, wandering in another realm that normal humans cannot observe.

But wherever there is life, faith will inevitably be born.

When these ownerless beliefs cannot be accepted by the gods, they will find their own way out just like life.

Or it may be attached to a fixed thing or a fixed concept...

Every time this happens, a being that is like God but not God is born.

If they are in a world where true gods exist, they are natural elves, innate demigods, and the most primitive totems of faith.

However, on Earth, especially in today's highly developed technology.

They are just a group of monsters that are destined not to cause any trouble and can only live in the dark side of human society.

The man who stole Huodou's salary was such a person.

According to the custom since ancient times, people living on this land call it "the God of Fortune".

Once the God of Fortune does evil, he will be denounced as the God of Plague.

[Well, it’s very much in the style of the Chinese people…]

After figuring out the man's identity, this was the first thought that flashed through Huodou's mind.

The Chinese people's attitude towards God has always been not to rely on Him, but to use Him selectively.

If you are useful to me, the worst that can happen is that I will pay my respects to you and then go to your temple to burn incense during festivals.

But if you do not do your job properly or do something evil to me, then even if you are a righteous god like the Dragon King, you will be dragged out of the temple and beheaded.

In comparison, it is not surprising that the Five Gods of Fortune, who have always had a low presence in traditional Chinese mythology, were demoted to "Five Ghosts".

And from He Bo's subsequent narration, Huo Dou roughly figured out why the other party targeted him.

As a god of fortune, even if he is no longer a god of faith, his unique birth has given him quite special abilities.

Aware of the existence of God, and wanting to steal the corresponding wealth from God...

This is obviously the reason why the God of Fortune targeted the evil spirit.

Unfortunately, the God of Fortune obviously underestimated Li Hao's status.

There was no need for Huo Dou to even take action, as the God of Fortune who intended to steal Li Hao's wealth suffered the backlash of his fate.

If Huo Dou had not arrived in time, this unlucky god of fortune might have died in a series of seemingly coincidental misfortunes.

......................................................................................................

"So, am I just unlucky? Or is he just unlucky?"

Faced with Huodou's question, He Bo was speechless.

Huotou was unlucky because he lost his money and it was obvious that he could not use the money he got back.

This god of fortune was unlucky. Although he absorbed Li Hao's wealth, the misfortune that followed was obviously not something that could be covered by this little bit of wealth.

All I can say is that this is a lose-lose situation.

"Anyway, you have done a great job this time."

He would be denounced as the God of Plague in China. It is obvious that this man is not a good person.

Without knowing exactly what the other party had done, He Bo decided to hand over this dangerous method to other departments first.

After all, Bureau 749 has many cooperative agencies, many of which specialize in handling similar cases and dangerous elements.

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

There was a rare flash of curiosity in his eyes. Huodou was quite interested in special government agencies such as Bureau 749 and Institute 507.

"No, you don't need to do anything for now." Seeing what Huo Dou was thinking at a glance, He Bo rejected him without hesitation.

At the very least, before fully figuring out the details of Huodou, He Bo would never let the other party easily access more top-secret organizations.

This has nothing to do with personality or temper, it is purely Ha Baek's responsibility as the chief of the 749th Bureau.

As long as Ha Baek is still the chief of the 749th Bureau, he will shoulder the responsibility and maintain order and safety in the entire urban area.

When he thought of this, He Bo couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

Because he knew that this might be the last contribution he could make to the world.

Now that the ancient god in his body has awakened again, there is no telling when he will fully revive.

[Perhaps, I should find a way to train a successor. ]

This thought flashed through his mind, and He Bo quickly threw it out of his mind.

Pessimism is not He Bo's style, and he will never surrender to the ancient god.

"What about the money? What are you going to do with it?"

Focusing his eyes on the bag of money at his feet, He Bo spoke without waiting for Huo Dou to reply.

"If it's inconvenient for you to handle it, just leave the money with me!"

"As for your salary, I will apply to the higher-ups later and pay you in cash."

These banknotes, which are tainted with the aura of bad luck, have, in a sense, become the medium of "curse".

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Just let me handle these banknotes!"

Without giving He Bo a chance to refute, Huo Dou suddenly picked up the backpack at his feet.

Immediately afterwards, the backpack of banknotes suddenly disappeared right under He Bo's nose, as if it had never appeared.

"Why did you keep that money?"

His eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and He Bo quickly asked.

He is now worried that these banknotes will be circulated and cause serious consequences, which would then be a real trouble.

"I am very interested in this kind of object that is tainted with 'bad luck'."

The evildoer couldn't say that he was afraid that Bureau 749 wouldn't be able to handle the bag of money, right?

Therefore, he found a very perfunctory excuse, which made He Bo roll his eyes.

If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. Why make up such a lame excuse?

"Since you are interested in these things, I'll leave them to you."

"But you must ensure that these banknotes cannot be circulated, okay?"

He nodded very calmly. Wasn't the reason why Huotou executed first and reported later because he was afraid that Hebo would not agree with his approach?

Now that the other party has agreed, Huodou will naturally make corresponding guarantees and commitments.

Anyway, Li Hao has gradually accepted his identity as the "God of Poverty".

Isn’t it just one month’s salary?

At worst, you can just wait until next month to buy the things you want!
Thinking about this, Li Hao's consciousness returned to his body. He couldn't wait to take a look at the banknotes that were tainted with bad luck.

As for Huodou's body?
Li Hao chose to let him move freely just like yesterday.

But before leaving, Li Hao didn't notice that He Bo's expression seemed to be relieved inadvertently.
