What is this?!
Jie Fangcheng couldn't help but circle around the "self" in his dream.
It was indeed him in appearance and dress, but Xie Fangcheng did not remember having seen Zhang Daoan before... That was normal. Manager Xie worked overtime every day, and the reports he had sent back from dealing with evil spirits could fill up half of the warehouse. He remembered these evil spirits, each with their own stories, but he did not remember the people he had just met on the street and chatted with.
However, although it is possible that he forgot, it is impossible that he had Lang Gu with him when he was working. He had never cooperated with the people in Lao Cui's department, mainly because both sides were afraid of shortening their lifespans.
It’s fake, why would Zhang Daoan have such a dream
While Xie Fangcheng was thinking this, "Wolf Gu" spoke angrily over there: "Master Xie! This brat shouldn't be alive in the world. Regardless of whether there is a judgment order or not, he must be dealt with before he causes too much trouble!"
"He shouldn't have lived until now. Have you seen him do anything against the will of heaven?"
"Even if he doesn't do it now, he will do it sooner or later!"
Jie Fangcheng, who was watching, really had no impression of this part, but he recognized the "wolf-looking" sound.
This is not "Wolf Gu" at all, he is a ghost messenger who was newly recruited that year. He has very good fighting skills. It was originally said that he would be assigned to Jie Fangcheng to prevent him, the "Finance Manager", from wandering around alone every day.
As a result, after working together several times, Xie Fangcheng almost hacked the newcomer to death.
They were on a field trip together, dealing with a ghost village that other departments could not handle. Information showed that the people there held rituals to worship the evil god all year round, and this year they sacrificed a mother and daughter in a cruel way. The mother and daughter died with their eyes open, and after turning into evil spirits, they sacrificed the entire village to the evil god.
At this time, the whole village was shrouded in evil spirits, and the villagers were transformed into evil spirits.
Jie Fangcheng was tripped up by things happening elsewhere. He had originally said that he would deal with the ghost village matters after he had dealt with those other things. However, he did not expect that, while he was working overtime outside, the new trainee ghost messenger in his department took on the task and went to the ghost village alone without informing Jie Fangcheng.
By the time Jie Fangcheng finally had time to come to the ghost village, all the evil ghosts and wronged souls in the village had been scared out of their wits, and the newcomer was holding the last living little girl in his hand.
The little girl was the first sacrifice. She was filled with resentment and was roaring angrily.
"My mother and I were here for a trip! They tortured and killed me for no reason! After I died, they forced my mother to eat my flesh... My mother was tortured to death by them!! Why can't we take revenge? Why?!"
Without saying a word, the new ghost snorted coldly, pinched her with one hand, and used the other hand to make hand gestures to attract the thunder.
Just when the thunder was about to strike, Jie Fangcheng rushed over with a sword, skillfully countered the thunder and then hit the new ghost catcher's head with the sword.
The ghost who was stunned by his sword came to his senses, but was unable to defeat him and could only flee back in panic.
After Jie Fangcheng settled the resentful evil spirits, he returned to the underworld with a sword in hand.
In the end, the newcomer went to another civil service department, and from then on, whenever Jie Fangcheng was seen from afar, he would run away.
In fact, nowadays, many of the cases that Jie Fangcheng is asked to handle are deliberately given to him.
The system of dealing with ghosts in the underworld is very strict. It judges the deeds rather than the heart, and each case is dealt with individually. For example, according to the current regulations of the underworld, only the "killing with hands" part is dealt with. Whether the enemy is an enemy or not, whether it should be killed with hands is another matter. In short, as long as it is murder, it must be judged according to the regulations of murder.
But a large part of the regulations have not been updated for many years.
Especially now, all the big bosses are either recuperating from injuries, resigning, dying or escaping, and only four are still sticking to their posts.
Not to mention the shortage of manpower, most of the newcomers who can pass the assessment now belong to the Qing faction, who believe that all evil spirits should be eliminated.
In this case, if there are cases that even the Inspection Department feels "should not be the case", they will push them to Jie Fangcheng.
Everyone gradually formed a routine. When they heard what Jie Fangcheng had done, they would be angry if they should be angry, and when Jie Fangcheng was required to write a self-criticism, he would write it, and that was the end of it. They would come to him again if they had any problems next time.
Except for those in the Qing faction who tirelessly scolded him at weekly meetings and said countless times that they wanted to scare him to death, everyone else turned a blind eye to him.
And this new ghost catcher was obviously a talent of the Qing faction. When the two of them went out on a mission, this kid wanted to eliminate everything he saw.
Jie Fangcheng, who was watching, couldn't help but wonder, did they also meet Zhang Daoan at that time
It seems...somewhat impressive
When he was in high school, Zhang Daoan fell to the ground, his face full of fear and confusion.
He said weakly: "Did I do something wrong?"
Of the two ghost officials in front of him, the one with a higher status obviously disagreed with getting rid of him, and the other one had to leave angrily after a quarrel.
"No."
"Jie Fangcheng" replied.
After saying that, he waved his wide sleeves, and "Zhang Daoan", who was slumped on the ground, looked dazed for a moment. The wounds on his body healed, and at the same time, he lost the memory of having seen the ghost.
Living people cannot see the ghost messenger. From Zhang Daoan’s perspective, what he can see are actually two balls of black mist.
Jie Fangcheng, who was watching the whole process, couldn't help but move closer to Zhang Daoan and look at him happily.
Professor Zhang's expression is always calm, and he always reveals a sense of detachment from the world.
But Mr. Zhang had quite a lot of expressions in high school! He was panicked when he was beaten just now, and he looked at "Jie Fangcheng" in his dream with a sense of confusion and uneasiness. It was very common for high school students. No wonder Jie Fangcheng had no impression of him, an "ordinary male high school student".
But it's rare to see Teacher Zhang so lively! Let's take a few more looks.
Just as Jie Fangcheng was thinking this, he saw that after he and the new ghost messenger beside him left, Zhang Daoan, who was sitting on the ground, regained his calm expression.
He looked at the closed door quietly and reached out to adjust his glasses.
“… Stop making noise.”
Jie Fangcheng looked at him in surprise.
This kid... was he pretending just now
Zhang Daoan, who was sitting on the ground, propped up his body and exerted a little force while moving. Fine cracks like cracked glaze appeared on his skin.
It was also at this moment that Jie Fangcheng finally remembered.
He had actually seen it.
When he was carrying out the mission that time, passing by a simple residence, even Jie Fangcheng felt a chilling aura.
After they entered the room, they discovered that the evil energy was emitted from a high school student.
Jie Fangcheng had come into contact with many things of this kind, so he could guess it.
This boy shouldn't have been born, but his parents used some kind of evil magic to force him to be born.
There are no records of such babies in the underworld, and no ghosts will be arranged to reincarnate. Therefore, the babies have no souls, but their bodies are still there. They will attract the free soul fragments around them, enter their bodies, and then recombine them into a new soul.
But there is a problem with this. There are indeed soul fragments between heaven and earth. Some of them were torn apart by evil spirits fighting each other, but most of them were caused by committing heinous crimes and were split into pieces and turned into dust.
These soul fragments need time to slowly dissipate between heaven and earth, and this baby who should not be born attracts the soul fragments of these evil spirits.
Logically speaking, the soul is made up of fragments of evil spirits, so it should have been doing bad things since birth. Especially as time went by, the yin energy in his body became stronger and stronger, so it was normal for him to become an evil spirit in the end, which was why Lang Gu wanted to kill him the first time he saw him.
But there is only negative energy in Zhang Daoan, no karma.
How could this person never do anything wrong under the influence of this evil spirit?
If you ask Zhang Daoan this question, he will answer without hesitation: It’s too stupid.
His ears were constantly filled with all kinds of shouting, crying, resentful complaints, and angry roars.
Those were the evil spirits that were unwilling to disappear and were inviting him.
Become a ghost.
There are so many evil spirits gathered in your body. When you are alive, they will affect the people around you. When you die and go to the underworld, souls like yours will be scattered and will never be reborn.
It's better to be a ghost and live happily for as many days as possible.
From childhood to adulthood, this sound has never disappeared.
Zhang Daoan just felt stupid.
Being a ghost is a happy life? Is it really so happy? How come all the ghosts in my body are gone? Why do I still have so much resentment
He will naturally be affected by the evil spirit.
For example, you have extremely bad luck, the teachers you have been assigned to are not very good, your neighbors are all rude and unreasonable, and you can't find your homework for no apparent reason...
But what can I do
If the teacher is not good, then learn it yourself. There must be books and tutorials, right? How can you not learn it
It would be even more interesting if the neighbor was rude and unreasonable, as Zhang Daoan could force him to be reasonable.
The homework he had written was missing? He was the top student in the school. If the teacher gave him a hard time, he would apply for a transfer to another class. If the principal did not handle it, he would apply for a transfer to another school. Many schools were desperate to poach him.
It should have been a miserable life full of bullying, but Zhang Daoan treated thorns as if they were flat ground.
He has lived "smoothly" all the way to the present day. Although he sometimes encounters special situations and his methods have to be more cruel, he has always been above the bottom line and has no intention of becoming a fierce ghost.
When he saw the ghost messengers at this time, although he didn't know what the ghost messengers in the two black fogs looked like, the excessive negative energy brought by the two ghost messengers still made the voice in his soul immediately quarrel.
"It's him… "
"How could it be him?! I'm scared to death!"
"During the purge in the underworld, why didn't Xie die?"
Quarrel.
The noise is giving me a headache.
Zhang Daoan sat back at the table and rubbed his forehead.
We used to quarrel, but never like this.
It seems that this ghost messenger is a very famous person.
Zhang Daoan is not a complete human being, so the method of erasing memory has no effect on him.
He rubbed his forehead and asked, "Is this ghost messenger famous? Who is he?"
Countless voices came from the soul.
"That one? He was a fierce ghost suppressed under the statue of Dongyue over 2,000 years ago, but he was covered with golden light, so his soul would not be scattered. At the same time, he had too many karmas and could not ascend to the upper realm. I don't know why, this fiercest of the fiercest ghosts actually became a ghost messenger... It is said that he was a ruthless person when he was still in the world. He was a mere mortal and dared to fight against the way of heaven. His name was Xie..."
Just then, a cloud of black mist reappeared in the room.
Thick black fog enveloped the returning ghost, making it impossible for living people to look directly at his appearance.
"I almost forgot." The ghost muttered.
Then the black fog approached, and Zhang Daoan unconsciously leaned back slightly, raising his head while sitting on the chair.
Two fingers stretched out from the black mist and gently touched Zhang Daoan's eyebrows.
A golden light flashed by.
The cracks among the countless broken soul fragments were faintly coated with a layer of golden light, which carefully sealed each piece of the evil ghost's soul fragment, so that the evil spirit could no longer run rampant in Zhang Daoan's body at all times.
The cool fingertips left his forehead.
"Very impressive, kid. Live a good life in the future."
Hei Wu said this with a smile and left.
Zhang Daoan touched his forehead in a daze, and the feeling just now seemed to still be there.
And at this moment, the voice of the evil spirit that had been roaring since birth and came from every inch of the soul disappeared for the first time.
