I played the world alone

Chapter 466 Who is pretending to be a ghost (-in-)

When the whole city fell into chaos, Lu Chen was observing from afar in an out-of-body way.

His intention was just to spread some haunting rumors in the city, but he didn't really want ghosts to harm people.

So we have to keep an eye on it and not cause any irreparable big trouble.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. These ghosts all acted according to their orders, only scaring people, or at most they fainted after encountering a few stubborn ones, with only minor injuries.

So far it seems to be working really well.

The dozen or so ghosts sent out so far have all found suitable targets and been successfully frightened, with most of them knocked unconscious.

The only one who is in trouble is the ghost himself.

These are originally characters similar to ghosts, so asking them to play scary ghosts is really putting the cart before the horse. Fortunately, these ordinary people have never seen real ghosts and don't see any problems.

At this moment, Lu Chen was floating in the sky, looking down at the entire city. He glanced over and saw several black shadows running through the street, and from time to time, a terrified scream could be heard.

In the already silent night, these screams were particularly obvious. Some lights nearby were turned on again one after another. It was probably because other people came out to see what was going on.

"About thirty people have been scared..."

He made a mental calculation and felt that it was almost done.

He still understands the principle of going too far and not doing enough. If it scares people so much that they move away overnight, then there is no point.

Xuan even waved.

The next second, he saw all the ghosts sent out flying up, turning into a ball of black smoke and getting into his palm, and returned to the Hundred Ghosts Map.

"We'll see how the reaction is tomorrow before deciding on the next plan. Don't waste all my hard work..."

He ignored the reactions of those below and flew back to the ruined temple outside.

Returning to the body again, I feel that the body's cultivation speed is still astonishing, and I am one step closer to the third level of Qi training.

"This cultivation speed is indeed outrageous. Is this a true genius?"

Lu Chen let out a breath. This old body seemed to be alive again, full of vitality.

That is to say, he is a bit older. If he was only about ten years old, it would be a fatal blow, but it is a pity that it is not necessary.

Of course it is enough now.

Moreover, the previous settings of the system are maintained, and the exercises can run automatically without any need for control.

If the prediction is good, we will probably be able to break through to the third level tomorrow.

Turning around and taking a look, the two boys were already so tired that they fell asleep long ago.

However, they didn't dare to disturb themselves, so they slept near the door. Their tired bodies allowed them to sleep soundly even on the cold hard floor.

At this time, Lu Chen also noticed that there were a few more people inside the ruined temple.

They were all dressed in shabby clothes, and they were probably all beggars.

However, because he had no ill intentions towards himself and did not notice any other abnormalities here, he went straight in and went to sleep, so his defensive formation was not triggered.

If these people dared to have any thoughts, I am afraid they would disappear from this world on the spot.

The formation was not lifted next.

"Let's get some sleep once in a while."

He stretched out slowly, and the almost decaying body made bursts of energetic joint movement sounds.

Ever since my cultivation level got higher and higher, I haven't experienced the feeling of sleeping like a mortal for a long time.

……

On the other side, inside Yongzhou City.

A group of officers and soldiers holding torches hurried down the street. Along the way, they encountered people who opened their doors and looked around. They shouted loudly and told them to go back and not to join in the fun.

Seeing their fierce appearance, the other people were so frightened that they shrank their necks and quickly closed the doors and windows, not daring to look further.

But in my heart, I was a little more curious about what happened tonight.

After all, there were several screaming sounds nearby, which were so obvious that it was impossible to ignore them.

The group of officers and soldiers quickly rushed to a street. After blocking the entrance and exit of the street, they carefully entered to check.

Inside was where the screams first came from, where the watchman was.

The watchman was lying on the ground unconscious. Fortunately, after feeling his pulse and breathing, he confirmed that he was still alive. Then a basin of cold water was poured on him, and the watchman woke up immediately.

But before they could ask questions, the watchman danced with fear and shouted, "No! I didn't see your face! Don't come to me..."

While shouting, he tried to crawl away.

The officer leading the team frowned and immediately slapped him twice while holding his shoulders.

"What are you talking about! The official is asking you something!"

The watchman opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw several officers and soldiers at a glance. However, strangely, instead of feeling the shame, anger and fear that he should have after being slapped, his eyes were as excited as if he saw his biological parents, and he immediately screamed. cried, hugging him excitedly while crying.

He even hugged the officer's thigh tightly and couldn't shake him away.

"Save me, sir, save me!"

"Go away!" The officer looked disgusted, but he couldn't even kick this guy away. "Tell me first what's going on?"

"Master, when I was doing my night watch just now, I suddenly saw a woman..."

The watchman was trembling all over and recounted in detail what he had just experienced.

The officer suddenly frowned deeper and looked back at his men.

The men shook their heads.

"I didn't see any women running out of here."

After taking another look at the surrounding environment, which can be seen at a glance, it is really not a place where people can hide.

They couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts. After all, what the other party said sounded too strange, just like the kind of strange stories that only appear in novels.

The officer lowered his head and kicked the watchman again.

"Did you get dizzy after drinking? That's why you talk nonsense?"

"Take it back to sober up!"

As soon as he waved, the others immediately stepped forward, picked up the watchman and walked back.

The watchman kept shouting that he was wronged, but no one believed him.

Several other teams of officers and soldiers went to other places where accidents occurred tonight, and most of them heard similar weird rumors.

Some were so frightened that they didn't even wake up after being splashed with water, so they didn't pay attention and planned to wait until tomorrow to ask questions. …

The next day, when it was already three o'clock in the morning, Lu Chen slowly woke up.

"I haven't slept in for a long time, but the floor is a bit hard..."

I checked my cultivation progress and found that I was only a little short of the third level of Qi training.

He nodded with satisfaction, this fully automatic practice saves worry and effort.

Looking at the two boys again, they were seriously practicing yesterday's spells outside the ruined temple. They were indeed diligent enough.

Maybe there will be some achievements in the future.

In addition, there are several beggars in the ruined temple. They are all unfamiliar faces. They came here to rest last night or early in the morning. They probably don't know what happened here yesterday afternoon, otherwise they might have fled immediately.

Lu Chen didn't chase anyone away. After all, strictly speaking, this place was their shelter, and he was just a passerby.

It's already miserable enough. As long as they don't offend you, just let them stay.

But at this moment, a new beggar walked in at the door. He must have known the people in the ruined temple and said hello.

"Do you know what the two boys at the door are doing?" The man said with a mocking smile: "Hey, I heard they were chanting spells and practicing spells!"

"I'm afraid I'm going crazy with hunger. It's so pitiful..."

"Spells?" Several people also laughed mockingly. But he just smiled. They don't have much strength to live now. If praying to gods and Buddhas can be useful, they must be just as crazy.

But the beggar who just came in suddenly said mysteriously: "Speaking of which, I just sneaked into Yongzhou City and heard a strange thing."

"What's weird? Is there someone in the city who wants to give out porridge?" They were a little excited.

"How can such a good thing happen?" The man shook his head, "It's not like you don't know the temper of those nobles. Do you still want to take out the money that has gone into their pockets?"

"I mean, there seemed to be a few strange things happening in Yongzhou City last night. Someone hit a ghost!"

Seeing the confused expressions on several people's faces, he quickly recounted the stories he had heard from other people in the city vividly.

"Is there such a thing?"

Several people were a little shocked.

"real or fake?"

The man immediately became anxious: "If you don't believe me, you can go to the gate of Yongzhou City and see for yourself. Half of the city is spreading this story. Besides, if it's false, how could I make up such a detailed lie?"

"Perhaps someone is pretending to be a ghost?" A man with sloppy hair next to him interjected, obviously not very interested in this, "Anyway, it is of no use to us, and we will not be given food."

However, there was another old man who looked quite elegant even though his clothes were shabby and his face was dirty, and he asked curiously: "What was the reaction of the government?"

"I've asked, and the government doesn't seem to care much about it. They just sent some officials to investigate the case." The person who brought the news sighed.

"In my opinion, maybe God was angry when they saw that they were indifferent to us and even wanted to stop us, so they sent these ghosts to punish them."

Unfortunately, no one would believe this statement either.

After all, if God really had the virtue of a happy life, such disasters would not have happened.

However, when the two boys at the door, Qingfeng Mingyue, heard the news, their faces showed a bit of shock, and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the old beggar.

They have not forgotten that what the old immortal said yesterday was that he came down to earth to kill demons.

Could this be what happened? !

The more they thought about it, the more it made sense. Seeing that what the old god said was verified one by one, they felt that the spells they were practicing now would definitely shine in the future. They became even more motivated and practiced more diligently. Don't dare to slack off.

After Lu Chen heard this, he closed his eyes again.

The soul left the body and flew towards Yongzhou City.

After looking down in mid-air, his eyes quickly locked in the direction of the government office, and he immediately flew in to see what the parents here thought about it.

By coincidence, I saw the officials here summoning the officer who handled the ghost incident last night and asked for details.

I saw a slightly fat man in his forties or fifties sitting in the high hall, wearing a luxurious official uniform, and several people were waiting respectfully in front of the hall.

There are government officials from the government, as well as officers and soldiers who worked yesterday.

Lu Chen observed for a while and learned from other people that the official here was Yu Hongyan, the governor of Yongzhou.

However, this was not a high-ranking official who passed the imperial examination. Although his literary talent was not bad, he was from the traditional aristocratic group. He had a rather arrogant attitude, so he did not care much about the problems of ordinary people.

Although he showed concern and didn't mention it between the lines, he was not far away from his own safety issues at all.

For example, at this moment, with a rich face, he was frowning and carefully looking at last night's case records.

"Faceless woman...beautiful head...and ghost beating the wall..."

If he hadn't known that no one would dare to fake this thing, he would have almost thought that what he was reading was some kind of folk legend.

"Is what is said above true?"

He pondered, closed the papers, and looked questioningly at the government servants in the audience.

The officer gritted his teeth, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, the content written above has been checked repeatedly, and the people involved said there is no problem. But my subordinates think that maybe those people stayed up late last night and got dizzy, so these strange things happened. Hallucination.”

"Of course, it is also possible that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes and wants to disturb the peaceful life of the people in the city, or there are some more ulterior secrets. We have immediately sent people to investigate, and we think it will not take long for the results to be found."

Once there is any problem with public security, he is the one who bears the responsibility. If he can't live without it, he will naturally have to make up for his mistakes quickly.

At the same time, I have begun to think about possible suspects, especially those guys who have been on the list before.

That group of people will do anything for money, and they do know some weird and obscene techniques, so they have to be on guard against them.

I'll take someone to check it out later!

Yu Hongyan pressed his eyebrows and felt that what the other party said made sense, so he didn't take it too seriously and just nodded: "Go, don't make too much noise. If you dare to cause trouble on my own territory, you will definitely be punished by them." A lesson.”

"Remember, I am a wise and capable official, and I have the protection of the royal court's dragon veins. There is no way that it's really ghosts and monsters causing trouble!"

At the end, he did not forget to remind him in a calm voice, which made the other people understand the meaning immediately.

If there are ghosts under the rule, doesn't it mean that there are injustices here and there is something wrong with his official position? Naturally, it cannot be said.

"Yes! Don't worry, sir..."

"In addition, the victims outside..."

What was discussed next was other topics. Lu Chen did not continue to listen and flew away instead.

"The results are similar to what I expected. It is indeed unlikely that it will work all at once."

I already have a plan in mind.

"Just in time to let this matter ferment and ferment."

Although the government explained this matter in this way, it is impossible to control what the people outside think, especially when so many people have witnessed it with their own eyes.

"Besides, why don't you go meet this gentleman in person tonight..."
