Chapter 368 Ghost Heart Pulse Master: I've found the flaw in Candle Night Stone Town! (Bonus Chapter 313)

Just as Bai Yongnian and the other two were pondering, an old man walked out of the courtyard.

The three of them were taken aback when they saw the old man's face, which was completely undisguised.

At this point, they were unsure whether the old man was a family member of the underworld official or the official himself.

Just then, they saw the old man smile and nod at them, then walk away with his hands behind his back towards the exchange counter.

Like taking a stroll?
……

When Shen Zhihong came out of the courtyard, he saw three underworld officials who were completely wrapped in cloak feather raincoats.

After nodding to the three of them, he walked towards the exchange counter.

Shen Zhihong had thought about concealing his identity for a long time.

In conclusion...

It's understandable for underworld officials to conceal their faces in the mortal world, but they shouldn't do so in the underworld!
It's possible that during their last meeting with the Lord of the Underworld, no one was completely honest with each other, which is why the underworld officials are now wary of one another.

This is definitely not the fault of the Lord of the Underworld.

After all, the task given by the Lord of the Underworld to clean up the Yin and Yang region required cooperation, which was enough to show the Underworld's stance.

If the underworld officials conceal their faces in the netherworld, there will always be a barrier between them, let alone any cooperation on missions.

Shen Zhihong didn't know what the other locations of the Underworld were like, but if the Three Mountains location continued like this, it would definitely fall apart in the future.

Of course, in the past, they would have just been scattered.

But now the Great Xia Dynasty is in trouble, and the underworld officials want to take their families into the underworld.

If they are not honest with each other, the first to be affected will be all the family members who have immigrated to the underworld.

Does this mean that once family members are brought to the underworld's residence, they are not allowed to leave the courtyard?
Or perhaps rent crow feather raincoats for all family members, so that they can be like underworld officials, wearing crow feather raincoats for everything they do?

It's fine for a day or two, but if it goes on for a long time, will the family members be able to bear this kind of pressure?
Putting aside everything else, Shen Zhihong's grandson and granddaughter, these two young people who just finished their college entrance exams and were dragged into the underworld by him, are they going to only chat with their parents from now on?

This is not right!
In Shen Zhihong's vision, the three mountains of the underworld should be a lively and bustling place.

The underworld messengers either go on missions in pairs or leave the underworld to do errands in the mortal world, while their families go from street to street, all smiles.

In Shen Zhihong's vision, the underworld should be a paradise different from the Great Xia Dynasty, and not just a place of refuge!

If it's just for seeking refuge, then it would be a huge waste of the value of the Three Mountains of the Underworld.

Therefore, after entering the underworld this time, he did not conceal his face; he wanted to be the first person to be completely honest with himself!
If he himself doesn't do it, how can he expect others to do it?

He also shared this idea with the other members of the Underworld Anti-Trafficking Office. As for whether everyone would follow his idea, Shen Zhihong was not worried.

If there were just one or two people who could walk openly and honestly in the underworld, allowing their families to visit and chat, then more underworld officials would come to understand some things.

Shen Zhihong was confident he could persuade one or two people.

As for the underworld officials' concerns about the danger of revealing their true identities...

Haha, even the underworld officials have been exposed to the Bureau of Investigation.

If they're not afraid of an external organization, why would they be afraid of colleagues who belong to the same organization?

Are you afraid that being a ghost messenger will harm him?
Shen Zhihong felt that this was unlikely.

First of all, there is no conflict of interest between the underworld officials.

Neither the protective objects nor any resources in the underworld are something that can be obtained at the expense of others.

Even if the underworld issues regulations in the future, allowing people with high moral character to have priority in choosing their residence in the underworld, they will only need to suppress more ghosts and evil spirits.

In such situations, it is naturally more rewarding and safer for a team of underworld messengers to suppress ghosts than for a single underworld messenger to do so.

This is yet another benefit of not covering your face.

A trusted underworld official is always more reassuring than a masked one, right?

Secondly, the underworld would certainly not allow its officials to kill each other.

Although the underworld did not mention this matter, Shen Zhihong firmly believed that as long as someone dared to have this thought, he would know the consequences.

All of this made Shen Zhihong realize that the probability of success for what he was doing was very high.

He even felt that even if he didn't do it, someone else would do it in the future.

But he couldn't wait any longer, nor could he afford to wait any longer.

Because he was the first underworld official to bring his family into the underworld.

If he did this from the beginning, then there is a high probability that other underworld messengers will do the same later. That is the role of a leader!
It's fair to say that it's much easier for him to succeed now than it is for him to do it later!

Lost in thought, Shen Zhihong arrived at the exchange counter.

Previously, he had rented raven feather raincoats for his grandchildren here.

The two raven feather raincoats were not meant to cover their faces, but rather to let the two children experience what it's like to fly in the sky.

He was excited to be flying in the sky, let alone two young people.

He wasn't worried about the safety of his grandchildren flying in the sky in cloak feather raincoats.

He had already inquired about this when he rented the raven feather raincoat.

The rented raven feather raincoat can only be used within the protection zone of the underworld, and there is no danger within the protection zone of the underworld.

As the underworld official who received the most care from the underworld, he gave the underworld enough trust in this matter!

Looking at the exchange list, Shen Zhihong spent ten Yin Virtue to exchange for the Underworld's express delivery service.

Before coming, he had thought of having his son and the others carry some things so that they wouldn't lack for their daily needs in the underworld.

Unfortunately, although the idea was good, it didn't work out.

Not many of the prepared supplies were brought over by the stickers, so he had to use the underworld's courier service to bring in supplies from the mortal world.

The delivery service from the underworld only requires ten points of Yin virtue per transaction, which is not much for Shen Zhihong.

He currently has over two thousand points of good karma, and it is still increasing.

He didn't earn all that good karma himself.

The anti-trafficking department of the underworld will give him a share of the good karma earned by the first batch of underworld officials besides him; this is one of the preferential treatments given to him by the underworld.

Although it's only 10%, when combined, it's not just a simple 10%.

In addition, all the underworld messengers have been working hard to accumulate merit recently, so his merit has been growing much faster.

This made it easy for him to accumulate enough good karma to bring his son and his family in.

Unlike other underworld messengers who have families to support, Shen Zhihong has no siblings, his wife has passed away, and he now only has one son.

As for his daughter-in-law's side, her parents also died early, and she doesn't have good relationships with other relatives, so he only needs to take care of his son's family and doesn't need to worry about anything else.

This may also be why he became the first underworld official to bring his family in.

After inquiring about the courier service process, Shen Zhihong used up a sticker and returned home.

Although the courier service only requires ten points of merit once, there must be underworld officials present.

Shen Zhihong only just learned about this situation. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have had to waste the two stickers he used.

Soon, a cloth dog that Shen Zhihong was very familiar with appeared in Shen Zhihong's house and swallowed the supplies that Shen Zhihong had previously gathered.

After scanning the room, Shen Zhihong nodded to the cloth dog.

Then, they returned to Sanshan Village together.

When the cloth dog spat out the supplies, it shocked Shen Zhihong's son and daughter-in-law once again.

"These things will be enough for us for a long time. If you need anything else later, just let me know."

"By the way, spend more time around the Sanshan base recently to get familiar with it, but don't leave the area within 500 meters of the Sanshan base. Later, other people will be coming, so go out and interact with them more often."

After giving his instructions, Shen Zhihong left the courtyard to look for the three underworld officials he had just seen. Since they were together, it was highly likely they knew each other.

In that case, why not talk to them and see if we can get them to lower their guard?

……

Chen Xin was unaware that Shen Zhihong had appeared among his underworld messengers. If he had known Shen Zhihong's thoughts, he would have offered this old underworld messenger some support.

At this moment, Chen Xin's focus was on something else entirely.

Just now, I discovered that someone had created ten Candle Night Stone Towns and then destroyed them one after another.

Upon observation, it was discovered that the person was testing the Candlestone Town!
At this point in time, the Bureau of Public Opinion Research could not possibly be testing Candlestone Town.

The Bureau of Polls had conducted countless tests beforehand, which was another reason why they chose to make the polls public in Candlestone.

If it's not the Bureau of Polls, then who could it be?
Two names flashed through Chen Xin's mind.

Divine envoy, ghost slave!
Of course, it could also be other non-governmental organizations.

Regardless, that person caught Chen Xin's attention.

Just then, Chen Xin's eyes lit up.

Because that guy has started building a new Candlestone Town again.

Chen Xin, who originally intended to go by himself, suddenly remembered something, smiled, and called out Brother Chicken.

……

five minutes ago.

The Ghost Heart Pulse Master looked at the tenth Candle Night Stone Town that he had shattered and fell into deep thought.

After so many tests, he only came to one conclusion.

This thing makes no sense at all!
No special materials are needed, no evil spirits are needed, and it doesn't even require the activation of vital energy.

Using only ordinary materials and following specific steps, one can create something powerful enough to deal with vengeful spirits.

If one has to explain its principle, there is only one explanation for the Ghost Heart Pulse Master.

spirits!

Only a spirit or deity like his master could accomplish such a thing.

But as far as he knew, the underworld didn't only have this one thing. From the Bureau of Investigation's special equipment, he learned that there were many similar things.

How many ghosts and gods are worshipped in the underworld?

He doesn't know.

All he can do now is study this Candle Night Stone Town and figure it out.

After having his subordinates bring ten more sets of materials, the Ghost Heart Master continued the testing.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

He felt uneasy if he didn't gain a comprehensive understanding of this thing in the underworld.

Soon, the Ghost Heart Cultivator smeared the chicken comb blood from the bowl in his hand all over the stone chicken.

Just as the Ghost Heart Clan Master was about to deal with the rooster that had appeared, as before, he discovered that the stone had not changed at all.

"Was it made wrong?"

The Ghost Heart Meridian is associated with frowning.

He glanced at the materials he had just used.

It's impossible for it to be wrong; there are only so many steps. Unless the rooster's comb blood is fake.

Just as the Ghost Heart Clan Master, his face grim, called for someone to come in, he saw the Candle Night Stone Town light up.

A brightness he had never seen before appeared!
"Indeed, there are other secrets in this Candlestone Town that I have not yet discovered."

The Ghost Heart Pulse Master's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the stone sculpture. Then, he saw a rooster emerge from it.

As soon as the rooster appeared, the Ghost Heart Pulse Master felt that it was different.

The roosters that appeared before were all illusions, but this one looks just like the real one!
Moreover, the roosters that appeared before were covered in flames and rushed straight at him as soon as they appeared, but this one not only had no flames on its body, but also did not rush towards him.

It was even tilting its head to look at him!
The Ghost Heart Master circled the chicken halfway around, and the chicken followed him, always keeping its head facing him.

The Ghost Heart Master became interested and took a step towards the chicken.

The yin energy surging from his heart gradually enveloped him, guarding against any potential danger.

But actually, he had already tried it.

The roosters that appeared in the stone town could not break through the Yin energy defense on his body.

Even in the struggle against the yin energy defense on his body, it will gradually extinguish and eventually shrink back into the stone.

However, the rooster that appeared this time is a bit special; I wonder if it will be any different.

The Ghost Heart Clan Master was not attacked until he reached the rooster.

"interesting."

The Ghost Heart Pulse Master squatted down and stretched out his hand.

Then, he touched the rooster.

It looks almost exactly like a normal rooster.

"This one won't attack unless provoked?"

"Or is it that it can sense my power?"

"or……"

Eyes twinkling.

"Or perhaps, this thing in the underworld is inherently flawed?"

If this defect can be found, can it be exploited?
His eyes shone even brighter as he thought about the current number of Zhuyeshi Towns in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Immediately, he shouted towards the door, "Someone, summon all the Ghost Heart lineage ghost slaves who are not on missions in the vicinity to the stronghold."

"Also, find me all the materials you can find to make the Candle Night Stone Town. I need it tonight, by any means necessary."

The ghost slave member who entered from outside responded and then quickly ran out.

Only the Ghost Heart Master and the rooster remained, staring at each other.

The main thing Ghost Heart Pulse does is very simple: since it took him eleven attempts to create one Candle Night Stone Town, he should find more people to work together to create Candle Night Stone Town.

With a larger base number, the probability of this special Candle Night Stone Town appearing will definitely increase.

Then we can look for patterns in the production process.

Once he finds this pattern, he can use it to make the ordinary people of Daxia lose their trust in Zhuyeshi Town.

In that case, what credibility does the Great Xia have left?

At that point, what interest will the Bureau of Investigation have left in dealing with the issue of ghost slaves?

Thinking this, the smile on the Ghost Heart Pulse Master's face became even brighter.

Even the rooster in front of me seemed to have become handsome.

That night, fifty-four members of the Ghost Heart organization near the Ghost Heart lineage rushed back, and other Ghost Slave members also obtained thousands of materials through various coercive means.

Everything was ready. The Ghost Clan Chief glanced at the still motionless rooster and shouted:
"start!"
