Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 355 A mortal god in the mortal world? No, this is a spirit infant protecting the fetus!
On the street, the first to move were the three monks from Zhenlong Temple.

After the two infant ghosts disappeared, the three monks rushed to Mo Pao's side, lifted him up from the ground, and ran towards Zhenlong Temple.

Throughout the entire process, Monk Mo's eyes were crooked and his mouth was distorted, as if he had been thoroughly humiliated.

After the four monks left, the temporary workers and interstellar specialists from the Bureau of Investigation turned and headed back to the basement they had just left.

But apart from a corpse, there was nothing left.

After Bai Hongtao returned to the group of investigators from the Mubei City Investigation Bureau, Chen Xin and the others were questioned about the events surrounding the appearance of the black infant ghost.

Let alone others, even Chen Xin only saw that the black infant ghost ate something. What else could the others know?
The investigators from the National Bureau of Investigation waited until dawn before being notified that they could take turns resting.

Chen Xin was one of the first specialists to take a break. Not long after he returned to his dormitory, Bai Yongnian sent a summons request to the Raven Prophet.

Upon seeing the people around Bai Yongnian, Chen Xin did not refuse and directly manipulated the Crow Prophet to appear in a conference room in the underground of the Mubei Municipal Bureau of Investigation.

The meeting room was as if it had been divided into two parts.

The right half is occupied by people from the Bureau of Investigation. Apart from the monks from Zhenlong Temple, the temporary workers and interstellar specialists who were dispatched last night are all sitting in the chairs on the left.

This included Lu Feng, Li Chengyun, Lin Wu, and Lin San and others who came from three cities including Pink Sakura City.

On the left side of the conference room were Bai Yongnian, Ji Mo, and the newly arrived Crow Prophet.

It may seem that there are more people on the right, but in reality, the right side is much weaker.

At this moment, everyone on the Bureau of Investigation's side focused their attention on the Raven Prophet.

Of these, only Bai Hongtao and Lin San actually saw the Crow Prophet. Bai Hongtao saw him at Wang Zhibo's house, while Lin San saw him in Gray District 76.

Others have either heard of it or seen it in videos.

But whether they had met before or not, everyone involuntarily straightened up at that moment.

"Ahem, Ya Xingxing, I am Bai Hongtao, the director of the Mubei Civil Investigation Bureau. These are..."

Bai Hongtao was about to introduce the other people when he was interrupted by the Crow Prophet.

"Why not Chu Xiuga?"

Bai Hongtao swallowed hard and glanced at Bai Yongnian, but the other party showed no intention of saying anything in his defense.

Bai Hongtao took a deep breath and said, "Ya Xingxing, since the incident occurred in Mubei City, Director Chu instructed me to conduct the communication."

The Prophet Crow glanced at Bai Hongtao for a while, until Bai Hongtao felt uncomfortable, before finally speaking: "What is it?"

"Here's what happened: at three in the morning, while we were capturing members of the Divine Envoy Organization, we encountered an unexpected incident. Someone used a special ritual to summon the God of Chaos. At the time, the vessel of that God of Chaos was in a bad state. While we were trying our best to capture it, a golden infant snatched away the vessel of that God of Chaos..."

Bai Hongtao paused for a moment at this point.

"The bureau has records that the golden infant... seems to be a messenger from the underworld?"

The Raven Prophet nodded.

"Yes, what, do you need Huang Ying to return that thing to you? Wait a minute, I'll call him over for you."

Bai Hongtao's expression changed.

"It's not like this……"

Before they could finish speaking, a gaunt figure appeared behind Bai Yongnian and Ji Mo.

At the same time, Lin Wu's eyes twitched incessantly while sitting in his seat, while Lin San, not far away, lowered his head, not daring to look at his father's face.

When Bai Yongnian and his companion noticed the stares of the crowd, they turned around and quickly stood up to offer their seats.

After the corpses took their seats, the Raven Prophet spoke up: "If you have any questions, Raven, I will pass them on to you."

Bai Hongtao swallowed hard, his scalp tingling slightly.

When did he say he wanted to call this person over?
He simply wanted to confirm whether the vessel of the born deity had truly been captured by the underworld. If it had, they would have been relieved.

As for that special god of the turbid world, who the hell would be stupid enough to want that thing?

Just then, Chu Xiu's voice came through Bai Hongtao's earphones.

"Let's talk and see if we can trade for that vessel of the born mortal god; it will be useful to the research department."

Bai Hongtao, keeping his eyes downcast and seemingly unconcerned, calmly said, "We want to know if Huang Yingxing has made any arrangements for the vessel of that born mortal god? If not, the Bureau of Investigation is willing to exchange something for it."

After Bai Hongtao finished speaking, the Crow Prophet tilted his head for a moment and then asked, "What do you want that thing for?"

"The Bureau of Investigation has been researching the God of the Chaotic World. A God of the Chaotic World who was born is of great research value."

Bai Hongtao said without blushing or panting.

The Raven Prophet nodded.

"A deal is possible, but why weren't we informed of this so-called 'God of the World' when we last communicated with the Bureau of Investigation about the situation of the God of the World?"

Bai Hongtao remained expressionless, waiting for Chu Xiu's reply through the earpiece.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't receive a reply.

Feeling the gazes of the Crow Prophet and the gaunt old man, Bai Hongtao broke out in a sweat.

He finally understood why Mubei City needed to communicate with the Underworld. It turned out that the General Administration had held back a trick when it made its last deal with the Underworld!

Isn't this just setting him up for failure?!

Just as Bai Hongtao was wondering whether he should say something to break the awkward silence, Chu Xiu's voice came through his earphones.

Immediately, Bai Hongtao repeated Chu Xiu's words.

"The Bureau of Investigation has not experienced the birth of any deity from the mortal world. There are only scattered records of it, and it is not certain, so it has not informed the Underworld."

"To express their apology, the underworld can make any request before the transaction, and the Bureau of Investigation will definitely do it if it is within their power."

Before Chen Xin could even react to Bai Hongtao's words, the others who overheard them widened their eyes in surprise.

How could you even say that?

Aren't you afraid that the underworld might make some unreasonable demands?

What will happen if the Bureau of Polls can't provide the data?

Chu Xiu, who was far away at the headquarters, naturally didn't know what others were thinking, but this was the conclusion he reached after urgently contacting Director Feng Jin.

The Bureau of Polls cannot afford to lose the Underworld as an ally, so necessary sacrifices are inevitable.

Even if the underworld wanted to remove Chu Xiu from his position as deputy director, Chu Xiu would not object.

Just as the conference room fell silent, the Raven Prophet spoke.

"Well, in that case, there is indeed something that I'm quite curious about in the underworld."

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Please clarify.

Bai Hongtao said seriously.

The Raven Prophet jumped a few times on the table, then turned to the side and looked at the Fiend Corpse controlled by Huang Ying.

"Huang Ying said that his ghoul is quite good. Can the Bureau of Investigation provide all the information about the control and creation of ghouls?"

Swish!
All eyes in the conference room were fixed on Lin Wu's ashen face, while Lin San's head was practically ripped off and placed under the table.

Why follow out of curiosity?

This was Lin San's strongest thought at that moment.

Bai Hongtao glanced at Lin Wu and began repeating Chu Xiu's words from the earpiece. "Okay, all information about the Fiend Corpse from the Bureau of Investigation and the Lin Clan will be handed over to the Underworld within three days."

As soon as Bai Hongtao spoke, everyone looked at Lin Wu with a peculiar gaze.

Lee Seung-yoon's gaze was somewhat complicated.

The situation of the Li Chengyun family is similar to that of the Lin family. Both are ancient families that have been passed down through generations. Long before that point in time, the Li and Lin families had already produced extraordinary beings. However, at that time, the extraordinary beings were only equivalent to the level of a vengeful ghost.

Even so, they were a remarkable existence in that era.

However, after the outbreak of Yin energy, these ancient families failed to develop faster than the Bureau of Investigation.

This is partly due to the fact that many old families have turned to the Bureau of Investigation, and partly due to the strong sense of family hierarchy within the Lin family.

However, the Li family and the Lin family are still somewhat different.

The Li family's lineage also requires cultivation techniques, but these techniques are only supplementary, similar to the "Eight Vajra Suppressing Dragon Technique" of Zhenlong Temple, but relying more on the bloodline of the Li family.

People of the Li family are born with strong willpower and mental strength, so their strength depends on luck.

Perhaps it will take twenty years for a single person of the Li family to possess such extraordinary willpower, or perhaps three will be born in five years!

Therefore, even if the Bureau of Investigation wanted Li's martial arts techniques, Li would not resist, because without strong willpower and mental strength, he would not be able to use them.

But the Lin family is different.

The Lin family can be said to have relied on the methods of controlling and refining corpses as the foundation of their existence.

The Lin family's cultivation methods include finding Yin acupoints, nourishing Yin ground, refining evil corpses, and controlling evil corpses, among others.

These things can be done as long as the cultivation method exists, even if the other party is a beggar.

The Lin family's condition for joining the Bureau of Investigation was that they would accept supervision, but would not hand over their cultivation techniques!

At this time, the Bureau of Investigation did not ask the Lin family for their opinion at all, and directly agreed to the Underworld.

This demonstrates the Bureau of Investigation's firm stance on this matter, and also shows that after years of development, the Bureau is no longer so concerned about ancient families like the Lin family.

Fifty years ago, the Bureau of Polling would never have said such a thing.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Compared to the underworld, the Lin family is negligible.

If you have to offend someone, why not offend the Lin family?

Li Chengyun could understand these things, and so could Lin Wu, so Lin Wu said nothing.

Of course, there is another reason... As early as twenty years ago, after the older generation of the Lin family died, the then patriarch secretly sent the cultivation technique to the Bureau of Investigation.

The older generation of the Lin family is old-fashioned, but the new generation is not stupid.

The older generation of the Lin family had neither the determination of some families to leave the Great Xia with their cultivation techniques, nor the strength of the Bureau of Investigation, yet they still guarded their cultivation techniques.

If the Great Xia Dynasty remains in chaos, that's fine. But once the Great Xia Dynasty resolves its problems, it will be time to deal with those who are disobedient.

Therefore, the patriarch of the Lin clan at the time secretly handed over the cultivation technique.

This way, we can save face and avoid future troubles.

This matter was unknown to the outside world; only a few core members of the Lin family knew about it.

Therefore, Lin Wu's mood wasn't actually that bad at the moment.

The reason he did this was simply because he had lost face in public, which made him feel embarrassed.

If it were a different scene, with no one else around, Lin Wu might personally deliver the cultivation technique to the underworld to make a name for himself.

However, Lin Wu felt that he should do something.

Kara!
Lin Wu pushed the chair further back as he stood up, then walked towards the conference room door with a cold face.

Halfway there, he kicked Lin San's chair and smashed it to pieces.

Lin San hadn't expected his father to lose his temper here, and he almost tripped and fell on his backside.

Fortunately, his knees are tough enough!

Seeing his father leave, Lin San thought for a moment, walked to another spot, and sat down again, ignoring the strange looks from others.

They've already lost face, why can't they finish the meeting?
"cough!"

After coughing, Bai Hongtao looked at the Crow Prophet.

"Crow Walker, is the matter from last time considered settled? How about we trade that vessel for the newly born God of the Chaotic World?"

The Raven Prophet nodded and turned his gaze to the Fiend Corpse controlled by Huang Ying.

Immediately, the corpse raised its hand and reached for its stomach.

Soon, the corpse pulled a palm-sized golden object out of its belly and placed it on the table.

Immediately, everyone in the room except for Bai Yongnian, Ji Mo, and Lin San, who were all confused, stood up.

After they realized that the thing seemed to have been subdued by the underworld's messengers, they returned to their seats somewhat awkwardly, while looking at Lin San with admiration.

It seems that Lin San, the third son of the Lin family, is even bolder than his father.

What they didn't know was that Lin San had only let himself go because his father had left, and he was sitting with his legs crossed under the table.

When the item was placed on the table, everyone else had already stood up, while he had just put his legs down.

Because he was just one beat slower, Lin San gained a lot of respect...

Bai Hongtao didn't look at Lin San, but stared at the thing on the table.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't that golden object just a curled-up, compressed infant ghost?

Recalling how Huang Ying appeared for only half a minute yesterday and turned the infant ghost that had instantly killed Monk Mo Pao into this thing, Bai Hongtao couldn't help but gasp.

But what surprised him even more was what was to come.

"Gah! By the way, do you want it as it is now, or as it was last night?"

Bai Hongtao was taken aback.

"What's the difference?"

“Of course they are different.”

The Crow Prophet looked at Bai Hongtao.

"Last night it was a ghost baby, now it's a spirit baby!"

While Bai Hongtao was still in a daze, he heard a hurried sound coming from his earpiece.

He immediately asked, "What is a ghost infant, and what is a spirit infant?"

After the Raven Prophet finished explaining the situation of the spirit infant, everyone in the conference room, including those from headquarters, fell silent.

Although they knew the underworld was not simple, the current situation still exceeded their expectations.

A ghost infant capable of instantly killing a Blood Calamity level figure, and a ghost that might grow up to surpass the Black Abyss and become a god of the mortal world, were both made into a protective object for pregnancy by the underworld.

Is this reasonable?
……

P.S.: It's a wedding in the village. Since everyone helped me when I got married, my parents have to go this time. I'll be taking care of the baby for the next couple of days, so I'll have less time. I'll start with a minimum of 4,000 words per update, and then I'll resume extra updates when they get back.
