All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 152 Future
The water vapor in the sky dissipated, and the illusory scenery in front of him became a blurred mass like a painting soaked in water.

The cold wind blew through the broken eaves, blowing up the dust on the table.

Ji Ran opened his eyes and found himself sitting at the table in the county government office in reality. The table in front of him was still the same as before, with only an additional word "Li" in the dust.

I think that when I was planning to use [Bird in a Cage] to see Li Yan's future, I was enveloped by the spirit and entered the reincarnation of the rainy night.

Standing up, Ji Ran saw the moonlight pouring down like water. It was just an illusion, and not much time had passed.

I just don't know if this ghost town will return to normal after I fulfilled County Magistrate Song's obsession and took away the souls of the people.

Ji Ran looked at what was in his hand. It was a thin piece of black jade with countless names densely engraved on it, each one smaller than a fly's foot.

The jade piece is very light and also very heavy.

These are the souls of more than 70,000 people.

Ji Ran put away the jade piece and stood up. He saw a blue-covered book on the broken bookshelf. Ji Ran was stunned for a moment and glanced at his storage space. Sure enough, the county annals were gone.

It seems that what we encounter in dreams are just illusions.

"Tai Sui Ye!"

"Tai Sui Ye!"

Suddenly, Ji Ran heard Li Yan's call from outside and immediately responded, "Here!"

The sound outside paused, and a burst of hurried footsteps was heard!

"Tai Sui Ye, when did you come here? You weren't here just now!"

Seeing Li Yan running over, Ji Ran said, "I just came out of that illusion, so maybe you can't see it because I haven't come out yet."

Ji Ran simply evaded the question, and Li Yan didn't ask any more questions. She just asked, "What about the county annals?"

"it's here."

Ji Ran took out the county annals and said, "You go to the house and rest for a while. I will plant the county annals tonight. Tomorrow I will get the Taishi Tianlu and go directly to Baihekou."

"to make."

Li Yan didn't say anything. He had been tossing and turning all night and was exhausted. He was not Ji Ran, and without the condensed mind, he was just like an ordinary person who had toiled all night to fight the flood.

He entered the room and started snoring after a while.

Ji Ran stood under the moonlight, looking at the empty yard. He took out the talisman, and Tianheqie condensed the talisman water, which washed over the county annals. A golden-red light flowed down and fell to the ground.

An emerald green sapling suddenly broke out of the soil.

All that's left is to wait.

Ji Ran sat down cross-legged, not worried at all. Taishi Tianlu said that it would attract evil spirits, but all the ghosts in this area were in his hands, so what else could there be?
This night will be safe unless there are any accidents.

Ji Ran sat cross-legged in the yard, thinking about the next step and the big world mission.

Obviously, the Battle of Dagukou was a crucial battle against the great powers! This battle targeted the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin!
If this battle can hurt these red-haired devils, it will definitely delay the invasion temporarily.

From this perspective, the mission "Covering the Sea" must be completed. If all eight generals are killed, the coalition forces will inevitably retreat if they suffer another setback!
Of course, this withdrawal was only temporary. The great powers would never give up their interests in China, and with the industrial world crushing the agricultural world, aggression was bound to return.

The only way to resist was to rapidly develop modern industry and a new army during the brief ceasefire period, and to continuously use the vast land of the country to expand the front and pull the tide until the industry developed to the point where it could compete with the great powers. However, the feudal dynasty was absolutely unable to do these things.

I still need to [Swallow the Dragon] as I originally planned!
Only by winning the battle of Dagukou, and finally ending the feudal era, can we hope to modernize the country and avoid the fate of colonization.

No matter how many things there are or how long they take, they are not something I can do by myself.

Time is too short. The most I can do is to destroy all the shackles of this old era, even if it means devastation and smoke everywhere.

Chinese people have the most steadfast qualities and resilience.

If everything collapses, rebuild it, one room at a time. By ending the feudal era, the people will lose only their chains, and both their thoughts and their industries will be reborn in freedom.

Of course, all this is easier said than done.

Ji Ran wasn't sure if he could really reach the other side and swallow the dragon. He took out a purple dragon-shaped jade pendant from his arms. The jade pendant was the size of a palm, and a bell was held in the dragon's mouth.

This is a life tool formed from the corpse of a dragon or a mirage, and the leading role is played by the ghost golden sheep.

The remaining soul of the ghost golden sheep has formed a guide, and Ji Ran is unwilling to provoke it.

But I can still use this life tool.

【Ghost Golden Bell】（Life Tool）

Effect 1: Ringing the bell directly opens the Ghost Gate, summoning a ghost. The ghost that appears is random, ranging in level from 1 to 6, and cannot be controlled.

Effect 2: Mirage descends, strengthening the ghost state.

Note: After each use, you must enter the coordinates of the summoned ghost's underworld and stay there for a stick of incense.

This life tool was transformed from the dragon corpse that Nan Han had taken away. After entering reality, it and the residual soul of the ghost golden sheep turned into a life tool and a guide respectively.

But this skill is a bit useless. The summoned ghosts cannot be controlled. It is useless if it is too weak, and it is also useless if it is too strong.

But now I have obtained the joker, maybe it can have a good effect when combined with the mirage.

Ji Ran stroked the joker card, and he could feel different names flashing.

He thought about the people he had come into contact with.

Paper Man Li, Li Yan, Tian Heng, Yang Kaijiang, Dong Fuxiang, the Big Sword Society...

Ji Ran stood up, found a wooden stick, and started writing on the ground.

Bird in a cage!

The moonlight was cold, and the green saplings were growing slowly, visible to the naked eye. Fates were interwoven into a huge web, which was written one by one on the ground by Ji Ran.

……

The next morning, when Li Yan walked out rubbing her eyes, the sky was already turning pale.

When Li Yan saw the yard clearly, she was suddenly stunned!
On the ground in the yard, the thick soil was covered with dense words, and Tai Sui was standing under a sprouting tree with an upright posture.

"Master Tai Sui, what are you doing?"

At this moment, the first rays of sunlight filtered down from the horizon, and a hint of golden red emerged from the green leaves on the branches. The Taishi Tianlu, like a command arrow, was stained with a trace of golden red gas and emerged in a mist.

"Thinking about something."

Ji Ran chuckled, took off the Taishi Tianlu, and said, "Let's go back to Baihekou!"

"Oh, okay!"

Li Yan didn't know if she was wrong, but she felt that Tai Sui seemed to be in a much better mood after spending a night there.

The two men immediately headed towards the location of the Don River Horse. Behind them, Ji Ran waved his hand, and a stream of water vapor condensed and exploded in the yard!

boom!
A low hum blurred all destinies.

That night, Ji Ran discovered that if it was an insignificant fate of an ordinary person, it could be changed.

But if it involves the overall situation of the world, it cannot be changed.

The cause and effect are too heavy.

However, through the fate of these people, I saw some clues.

In the worst ending, Dajing is there.

Then the best ending must not include it.
