I played the world alone

Chapter 370 The Significance of the City God’s Appearance ([-]-in-[-])

This matter indeed attracted great attention from above. The director came forward to submit relevant documents and information, and it is said that personnel from the legendary Special Operations Department were invited to form a task force to investigate.

Although it sounds complicated, it involves extraordinary things, so it is a special case. It is extremely efficient. In less than half an hour, someone was notified to rush here.

As direct contacts in this case, Qiu Tairong, Wang Luoxiong and others continued to wait in this house, and they could also protect witnesses.

Soon, the doorbell rang and someone came.

After opening the door, there were two young people standing outside. They seemed to be familiar with and respected Granny Xie. They greeted her respectfully before walking in.

Naturally, Wang Luoxiong was not familiar with them. After introduction, he learned that one of these two people was named Miao Wan and the other was Wei Hang. They were both members of the mysterious special operations department.

When listening to their discussion, there were a total of four people coming this time. They split into two teams halfway. One team came here, and the other team went to the village in the city to investigate first to see if they could find any clues.

Next, because Wang Luoxiong himself was also the person in direct contact with this incident, they did not avoid him when they discussed the matter.

Because of this, he knew that these people all possessed incredible extraordinary powers.

It seems that he can also control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, which is very powerful, just like Superman in TV movies.

But these only surprised him. What really interested him was what these people discussed.

Wei Hang said: "We have asked President Bai to check the recent records. Indeed, we have not found any particularly powerful monsters coming here. Of course, we cannot rule out that they are not registered."

"Fortunately, it seems that the other party has no ill intentions towards ordinary people so far. Maybe we can try to make contact with him."

Granny Xie shook her head: "Don't contact them rashly! With your limited strength, you may not be able to imagine that even if some strong people have no ill intentions, just a wisp of momentum or a look from them may hurt you."

"In addition, I have already seen it once in a dream. Although the time is short, I can confirm that the guy is not a monster, but more likely a powerful ghost king!"

Speaking of this, Na Miaowan suddenly became excited and immediately interjected: "I have heard about the Ghost King."

"I heard that not long ago, a ghost king-like existence happened to appear over there at the Jintan City headquarters. He is so powerful that ordinary people are no match for him."

"Fortunately, for some unknown reason, we have reached cooperation with our Special Operations Department."

"Because of this, we learned something about ghosts from her."

"For example, if the other party is really the Ghost King, then it should not have come from outside but has existed locally for a long time."

He stamped his feet: "Just below this piece of land."

"Because ghosts rarely stay away from their own bodies. If you use the Neon Kingdom's terminology, they should be close to earthbound spirits. Of course, they are not the same in essence, but they are somewhat similar. If not necessary, ghosts will basically look for someone near the corpse. It’s a treasure land of Feng Shui, practice slowly.”

"So I think we can look for clues from this angle, and maybe gain the friendship of a new ghost king."

"Is it local?" Grandma Xie pondered, "According to that guy's strength, it is estimated that he has at least hundreds of years of cultivation."

"And even if you are a ghost, not just anyone can become one. It must be a great opportunity."

"I think that sedan cannot be made by ordinary people. Its identity must be extraordinary! Maybe we can start investigating from this aspect. Once we understand the identity of the other party, we should be able to find a way to get closer."

Qiu Tairong, who had been silent next to him, finally had a chance to talk, which happened to be what he was good at.

"I will send people to collect information right away. Find all the famous people in history who died in this land!"

After about an hour, the relevant information was almost collected. After all, they are all electronic files now.Archives can be gathered with a little searching.

But the real trouble then is to pick the right one among these hundreds of historical figures.

Wang Luoxiong has also done relevant research before, so he can also help now.

Especially since he has seen the sedan with his own eyes, so he can look for it based on its characteristics.

Everyone marked the candidates they thought were possible and showed them to Granny Xie one by one for confirmation.

However, most of them were denied in the past, and the ones that remained were something that she couldn't be sure about. She could only say that there was a lot of possibility.

Searching and searching, Wang Luoxiong was flipping through a classic book when he suddenly remembered the story previously recorded in his family tree, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Recall it carefully.I found that the shape of the sedan in the dream was very similar to the description in the story.

He stopped what he was doing, and Qiu Tairong next to him noticed it and thought he was overworked. After all, he was already old, so he said: "Mr. Wang, if you are tired, go and rest first."

Wang Luoxiong shook his head, closed the book in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his guess.

"Actually, our ancestors of the Wang family have always had a local myth that has been handed down. I often read it, so I am quite familiar with it. And some of the descriptions in it, I found that they are similar to the sedan chair and the bearer I saw yesterday. very similar."

"Oh?" Miao Wan looked up and asked curiously, "What is it? Can you tell me in detail?"

Wang Luoxiong had no intention of hiding anything. He had read the article countless times and often told it to his son and grandson. He had already memorized it by heart. At this time, he didn't feel awkward when talking about it. It was even vivid and vivid.

After finishing the whole story, he realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him. Wang Luoxiong said slowly: "My ancestors lived here more than 600 years ago and saw it with their own eyes. The records are very detailed."

"Such a coincidence, I suspect this is not an ordinary ghost, but a city god! A city god who rules the underworld!"

Everyone's expressions showed a hint of shock.

There is no other reason. Compared with ordinary ghosts, the existence of this so-called City God is even more incredible.

Even well-informed people find it difficult to believe it.

"The City God is a serious Yin God after all. Will he really appear here casually?"

"But really speaking, it's not completely impossible." Miao Wan suddenly said, "After all, an immortal came to the world not long ago, and he even wants to accept disciples!"

"Then it seems possible that a City God will appear."

Granny Xie pondered for a while: "But as far as I know, in the decades since I have lived here, there have been no rumors of gods and goddesses here. I have also visited the City God Temple, and I am sure there is no aura."

"Perhaps it just appeared because of the revival of spiritual energy?" They raised a new possibility.

Granny Xie did not forcefully deny it, because she knew that there were no absolutes in the world, just like for ordinary people, it was impossible for them monsters to exist.

"What you guys are saying makes sense. But have you ever thought about what it means to us if that is really the City God?"

Several people froze for a moment, and their expressions became solemn.

Wang Luoxiong may not know it himself, but they know that the existence of the City God means that the cycle of life and death will be controlled by certain beings, and karma will not be just empty talk, but something that will really be quantified and calculated!
They grew more serious.

"This matter may not be simple. I have to ask for instructions from above. Let's see how to proceed."

... After learning that he was suspected to be the City God, and that he might be the only serious immortal known to date, Xu Xun immediately put down everything he was doing and brought people here in person.

Also coming with the team was Zhu Qianqian.Tian Fangrou is still possessed by her body and can take over control of her body and exert her strength when necessary.

In addition, with the permission of the ghost boss, her identity is considered legal and compliant, and she does not have to worry about being arrested if something happens.

"City God..."

Xu Xun naturally told her the secret, and Tian Fangrou looked thoughtful after hearing the news.

"If you think about it carefully, since there really are ghosts and ghosts such as black and white, impermanence, etc., then it seems that it is not surprising that the City God exists. It would be better to say that it is a bit unexpected that he only appears now."

When she spoke, her tone was a little indifferent, she was just slightly interested in the unknown existence.

She has searched many times before, but found nothing. Until now, they seem to be popping up one after another. Could it be that the spiritual energy is really resurrected?

Xu Xun laughed dumbly and shook his head helplessly.

The other party has been recognized by the underworld, so naturally he is no longer worried. He does not care at all what impact the appearance of the City God will have on modern times.

"At present, we cannot rule out the possibility that it is another supernatural being who is pretending to be a ghost. So we invite you to come with us this time, hoping that you can help verify it."

If she really encounters a strong enemy, her strength should be enough to fight against him.

If it doesn't work, then consider asking Yue Ze and other immortal cultivators for help.

After all, you still need to cultivate your own strength.

"No problem." Tian Fangrou made an OK gesture.

"I happen to be quite curious, what on earth is that..."

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the local police station.

That building and nearby residents had been evacuated urgently. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, they just used the old excuse of a gas pipe leak.

During the two days when they move out, all food and accommodation will be taken care of by the official, so they don't need to worry.

The residents were naturally relieved. The only thing they worried about was whether this was an excuse to lure them away. When they came back, their houses had been demolished.

Regarding this, the police and the court have guaranteed that they will never do anything like that. Moreover, there are so many police cars blocking the scene, and the movement is not small, so there is no need to worry.

As soon as Xu Xun arrived at the police station, he greeted the local chief and immediately began to understand the relevant situation.

Soon, Wang Luoxiong's genealogy recording the relevant stories appeared in his hands.

After reading the contents carefully, Xu Xun could still feel the strangeness and surprise transmitted through the text even after hundreds of years.

"City God..."

"Is this really the City God?"

Unfortunately, there is no answer yet.

It stands to reason that the ancients liked to write some weird or ghostly stories to satirize the current affairs or social phenomena at that time, or to express some of their wishes.

This is very common, such as Peach Blossom Spring and the most bizarre Liaozhai, etc.

Therefore, even if this story is recorded here, we cannot be completely sure of its authenticity. It may just be to warn future generations.

Zhu Qianqian stood aside and looked at the content.

Through her eyes, Tian Fangrou was also observing.

"It's quite interesting. It's written in such detail. If the author wasn't suffering from hysteria, he might have actually experienced it."

"Why don't I go and see for myself, maybe I can find clues..."

Zhu Qianqian was timid and trembled: "No way, you are the secret weapon, just wait until the last appearance..."

"How can that be done? With me here, you don't have to worry about anything happening."

Tian Fangrou is very bold.

However, Xu Xun didn't suggest that she go there now, so she could only suppress her curiosity for the time being.

But while they were still discussing, suddenly a phone rang in the police station.

It was an alarm call transferred from a citizen.

Then a shocking news came, breaking their original plan——

That sedan appeared again!

But it was not near that residential building, but in another place several blocks away and thousands of meters away!
If they hadn't happened to be spotted by that enthusiastic citizen who was frightened and hurriedly called the police, they might have missed it.

……

On a quiet street late at night.

The city is not large in size and can only be regarded as a third-tier small city, so it does not have a very lively nightlife. On the contrary, it is quite deserted.

There are almost no people on the streets after ten o'clock. Only a few 24-hour shops are still open, but there are very few customers.

The road was also very empty, and it took a long time for a car to pass by.

At this moment, several police cars roared past with their lights flashing, attracting the attention of a few pedestrians who occasionally passed by on the street.

Finally arrived at the destination, which is the entrance and exit of a community.

When the police car stopped, the enthusiastic citizen was still taking the initiative to point them to the location.

"It's right here! When I just came home from get off work, I saw that strange sedan coming out of the community." The enthusiastic citizen was a bald middle-aged man, dancing excitedly.

"You don't know, that thing looks weird! Those people carrying the sedan look like they are almost two meters tall. They are covered in dark clothes, and you can't even see their faces clearly under the street lights!"

"The sedan chair is also dark, with just two lanterns hanging on it. It doesn't look like a wedding sedan at all, and it's not auspicious at all..."

"Then I took a second look out of curiosity and saw that there was no shadow of that ghost under the street light! It scared me so much that I almost flew out of my mind. I called the police immediately!"
