Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chu Xiu ended his conversation with Feng Jin and quickened his pace.

Even if Feng Jin knew about the problem while she was outside, she couldn't help Da Xia solve it. Fortunately, Feng Jin gave Chu Xiu a feasible solution.

Find the Xia family, explain the situation, and ask them to take action.

Chu Xiu didn't know how powerful the Xia family really was before, but he had a general idea in his mind.

But this time, after Xia Chuanshan made his move, he found out.

Soon, Chu Xiu arrived at the Xia family and reported the matter, but since he was not a member of the Xia family, he could only wait for news from them.

During the process, he constantly received messages from various cities in Daxia.

Looking at those reports, Chu Xiu felt a chill run down his spine.

Based on the report, once the Xia family makes their move, there probably won't be many branch bureau chiefs left who will survive.

"How to do?"

"Besides the Xia family, who else can save Great Xia?"

A name suddenly flashed through my mind.

"Hell?"

Will the underworld intervene?

Chu Xiu gritted his teeth; trying wouldn't hurt him.

He immediately left the Xia family reception area and headed towards headquarters.

Upon arriving at the headquarters, he instructed his staff to contact the underworld officials and messengers to inform them of the situation in Daxia.

Five minutes after the message was delivered, Chu Xiu arrived at a meeting room and looked at the feather that he hadn't summoned in a long time.

He immediately said, "Please invite the underworld official to come and have a chat."

Within three to five seconds of saying that, the feather transformed into a crow.

Looking at the response speed, Chu Xiu sighed inwardly.

If the Xia family had the same response speed, why would he need to come to the underworld?
"What is it?"

"My lord, the Great Xia Dynasty is at a critical juncture of life and death. The Great Xia Dynasty and the Underworld have always been partners who help each other. Could you please ask the Underworld to lend a hand and help the Great Xia Dynasty overcome this crisis?"

Chu Xiu didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request.

As for how to repay the underworld, we'll discuss that later.

"The underworld knows what has happened to the Great Xia. Since the Gate of Hell is still in the world, why bother with it? Just wait. At midnight, the Gate of Hell will open wide, and the crisis facing the Great Xia will become clear."

Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face.

But when he saw the current time, his joy vanished.

How devastating will the Great Xia suffer by midnight?
"My Lord, it's so hard to wait until midnight in the Great Xia Dynasty. Could you please open the Gate of Hell ahead of time?"

"No, the Gate of Hell has its own rules for opening."

The words of the Raven Prophet made Chu Xiu's face darken. What should he do? Should he really wait?
Just when he was at a loss for what to do, the Raven Prophet spoke again.

"If it really gets really critical, there's another way we can try, but it will come at a price."

Chu Xiu was taken aback, and immediately asked, "What method?"

What price could compare to the crisis facing Great Xia right now?

Soon, he heard the words of the Raven Prophet.

After a moment of hesitation, he left the conference room. Soon after, a message was sent to every city in the Great Xia that was being ravaged by an unknown and powerful ghost.

……

Snapped.

Bai Hongtao, his face pale, slammed the phone face down on the table.

His pale face was not due to the ghosts appearing in Mubei City, but because the ghosts within him had been removed.

Since the establishment of the Ghost Gate, he had to accept the fact that he could no longer practice Yin cultivation.

Fortunately, because of his cooperation with the underworld, even though the evil spirits inside him were removed, he did not suffer any major problems.

Although his current strength is not as good as that of an ordinary team leader, the General Administration did not dismiss him and allowed him to continue leading the branch.

That's why he didn't rush to the scene immediately after the unknown ghost appeared, thus avoiding a fatal disaster.

None of the two top team leaders who went that day, as well as several monks from Zhenlong Temple, returned.

At this moment, the fog that had been wandering throughout the city was still raging.

Although the fog did not indiscriminately slaughter the areas it covered, all the women disappeared wherever the fog dissipated.

If that fog were to wander around the entire Mubei City, the city's population would be reduced by half!
Based on speculation, given the speed at which that fog moves, it will be able to cover the entire city of Mubei by tomorrow morning.

Although he was already evacuating people, how could the people of a city be evacuated so quickly?
He was also waiting for the General Administration's plan, but when he finally received it, he was somewhat incredulous.

The order from the General Administration was to blow up the Ghost Gate!

Blow up the Gate of Hell?

If Bai Hongtao had to say who, besides hoping for a rescue from the General Administration, he felt had the best chance of resolving this matter, it would undoubtedly be the Underworld, the Ghost Gate that had stood outside Mubei City a few months ago.

In recent months, the specialists at the Mubei City Survey Bureau have even been able to work from nine to five and leave on time.

Only a few people need to be on duty.

This was the most relaxed period he had experienced since joining the Bureau of Polling.

But now, the General Administration's instructions are to blow up the Ghost Gate.

Could it be that the General Administration believes that the fog was created by the Ghost Gate?

This is utterly absurd.

But the General Administration has already given the order: destroy it or not?

Bai Hongtao showed a hint of struggle.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to listen to the General Administration.

With a sigh, Bai Hongtao summoned the remaining Yang Xiu from the bureau.

"Take the explosives and blow up the Gate of Hell."

Upon hearing the mission instructions, even the top team leaders were stunned.

"Destroy the Ghost Gate? Which Ghost Gate?"

Bai Hongtao glanced at the other person.

"The one outside the city, don't ask why. It's an order from headquarters: act immediately!"

Filled with doubt, the group left.

Bai Hongtao got up and went to the window, looking at the distant clouds and mist.

Suddenly, he thought of someone.

Someone who, when he left the Bureau of Investigation, told him he could ask him for help if he needed anything.

But then Bai Hongtao shook his head.

This is a problem that no genius can solve.

……

Half an hour later, the Ghost Gate outside Mubei City was covered with explosive packs and detonating wires.

"Are we really going to blow it up?"

"A specialist who has been stationed here asked."

"Is this something I can decide?"

As he spoke, the specialist snatched the remote and pressed the button.

Boom boom boom!
A gust of air blew up the surrounding earth, wood, sand, and gravel, obscuring everyone's view.

Just as they were sighing, they suddenly felt a pressure.

Before they could figure out where the pressure was coming from, the dust in the air seemed to have been pressed down to the ground by something.

In an instant, the view became clear.

At that moment, no one cared about the smoke and dust.

Their attention was drawn to that gate to the underworld.

The door was still the same door, but it gave everyone a different feeling. "Was there not enough explosives?"

someone asked.

"Impossible! I know better than you what those stones are made of. The explosives and their density were enough to blast those stones into powder!"

"Then tell me, why is this the result?"

"how could I know?"

"Don't you know what you're pretending for?"

"I……"

Just as the group started arguing, the gate to the underworld changed.

A phantom image emerged from the gate to the underworld and began to grow larger.

It was so big that everyone had to look up to see the three large characters on the door.

Maybe it's one hundred meters, maybe it's two hundred meters.

Just as everyone was in shock, they saw the gray clouds spreading out from above the Gate of Hell.

Dark clouds quickly covered the sky, blocking out the bright sun.

At that very moment, both the commissioners under the Gate of Hell and the people far away in Mubei City heard a tiger's roar.

The moment the tiger's roar appeared, the fog that had been lingering in Mubei City and instilling fear in everyone was swept away.

The specialists who had been following the fog also spotted the figure that was originally in the center of the fog immediately.

It was a wedding dress floating in the air, and inside the dress, countless women's faces appeared, making it impossible to see them clearly.

After the wedding dress was exposed, it seemed somewhat angry and immediately flew towards the Bureau of Investigation agents.

This action put the commissioners on high alert.

But before the wedding dress could get close, everyone saw that a pair of shackles suddenly appeared at the hem of the dress.

The shackles seemed to have infinite weight, pulling the wedding dress, which was flying in mid-air, straight down to the ground and pinning it to the ground.

The human head that appeared on the wedding dress seemed to be confused by this change, and looked down at its feet.

But just then, a pair of shackles appeared on its hands.

It clearly doesn't have hands at all.

But when the shackles appeared, they were given hands.

The wedding dress tried to struggle, but no matter how it twisted and turned, it couldn't budge the shackles and chains even a little.

It's like a dog tied to an iron post, unable to break free.

The investigators from the Bureau of Public Opinion, witnessing this scene, dared not take any action other than reporting it to their superiors.

But just as they reported it, they saw the wedding dress move.

I walked towards them step by step.

This scene made the commissioners tense again, and they began to retreat quickly while constantly dispersing the people around them.

But the sight of a wedding dress bound in handcuffs aroused the curiosity of those around her.

The commissioners were working themselves to the bone, but some were still secretly observing the wedding dress from the buildings on either side.

As the wedding dress drew closer, the staff ignored the others and left on their own.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, some reckless people even came out of the building and took pictures of the wedding dress with their phones!
To their surprise, this time they actually managed to get a picture!
As a result, more and more people got excited, and some even started live streaming!
At that moment, all the women within a 20-meter radius of the wedding dress froze, and then they began to approach the dress.

Seeing how bold the women were, some men followed them.

People who were previously not close to each other are now drawing closer.

It wasn't until the first woman approached within five meters of the wedding dress, and a new wedding dress appeared on her body, and new shackles were removed, that everyone realized something was wrong.

They tried to escape, but the women around them, who were also being held captive, grabbed them tightly and pulled them within five meters of the wedding dress.

Once within five meters, as the woman put on her wedding dress, the man who had been captured instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and merged into the dress.

The wedding dress became even more vibrant.

Soon, another procession appeared on the street—a procession dressed in red wedding gowns.

The group consisted of fewer than a hundred people, but their red attire and shackles made the whole scene appear unusually eerie.

Thus, even after the Bureau of Investigation's commissioners stopped driving away the onlookers, no one dared to continue approaching and risking their lives.

Bai Hongtao received the message quickly and arrived at the monitoring room.

Looking at the shackles and chains on those wedding dresses, Bai Hongtao showed a relieved expression.

"Give the order to have the path leading to the Gate of Hell cleared away in advance!"

"Yes!"

Just as Bai Hongtao had guessed, the direction that group of wedding dress ghosts headed was the Ghost Gate outside the city!

It took them three hours to finally reach a spot a hundred meters from the Gate of Hell.

Immediately afterwards, the shackles and chains disappeared, and the wedding dress was freed.

However, it showed no sign of resistance and simply drifted slowly toward the ghost head's mouth on the hundred-meter-high gate's phantom image.

The wedding gowns that followed behind it transformed into the red shawl draped behind it.

When the wedding dress was swallowed, all the clerks who had been surrounding it breathed a sigh of relief.

The success of Mubei City is not an isolated case.

Although many city branch chiefs had died in the line of duty, others continued to take over the orders and, following the instructions of headquarters, launched a bombing raid on the Ghost Gate.

In just five hours.

All the unknown and powerful evil spirits that had appeared in the city of Daxia disappeared.

Chu Xiu looked at the messages that were pouring in and let out a long sigh of relief.

Two hours after the problem was resolved, the Xia family arrived.

It took another half hour for the Xia family to finally get rid of the ghost in the central city.

The Xia family walked away arrogantly, while Chu Xiu remained somewhat silent.

Compared to the underworld, which had simultaneously dealt with the evil spirits of 108 cities, he didn't know what the Xia family was so proud of.
But after all, this is the Xia family's Great Xia.

What Chu Xiu didn't know was that after serving as acting director for just over two months, he already shared the same thoughts as Feng Jin in this regard.

Afterwards, Chu Xiu returned to his office and began to organize the information reported from various branch offices.

But soon, he discovered a problem.

Of the 109 cities in the Great Xia Dynasty, there was one that did not attract any evil spirits.

Looking at the name Lingyuan City, Chu Xiu didn't know why.

He immediately contacted Bao Lingqing, the director of the Lingyuan City branch of the Public Security Bureau.

The news he received shocked him.

It's not that Lingyuan City hasn't encountered any ghosts, but rather that the ghosts were dealt with shortly after they appeared.

The problem was solved by the first underworld official from the Lingyuan City branch, a tombstone in Wang Xingping's hometown.

The shape of that tombstone was exactly the same as the ghost gates in other cities.

According to reports, strange phenomena appeared on the ancestral mountain during the ancestral worship ceremony in Wang Xingping's village.

If nothing unexpected happens, that is the unknown ghost.

However, thanks to Wang Xingping's methods, the evil spirit was dealt with before it could even make a move.

Later, another ghost appeared in Lingyuan City, and it was also 'captured' as soon as it appeared.

If it weren't for a Bureau of Investigation agent who happened to see the ghost appearing at that time, no one might have known that the ghost was taken away!

This news stunned Chu Xiu.

"Why is it that the tombstone in front of Wang Xingping's ancestral grave can be warded off without being blown up?"

Chu Xiu thought about it a lot.

In the end, only a rough, possible conclusion was reached.

Wang Xingping's status was higher than they had imagined!
Looking at the photo of the tombstone, Chu Xiu thought for a moment and decided to go to Wang Xingping and ask him to get one for him in the central city as well!
Otherwise, if ghosts appear again, by the time the Xia family arrives, the entire Central City will probably be wiped out!
With that thought in mind, Chu Xiu left the headquarters.

He was prepared to go and beg in person!
