I became a saint in the game

Chapter 111 Unexpected Disaster
Chen Shicheng turned around, looked back, and waved.

Zhao Dongyang had been thinking about how to explain to the county magistrate tomorrow, until the escort behind him touched him. Then he reacted, quickly restrained his expression, and trotted to Chen Shicheng.

"Senior, what do you want me to do?"

"Your name is Zhao Dongyang, right? What happened in the city? Why are all the people wearing mourning clothes along the way?"

"Senior, you don't know." Zhao Dongyang looked around and whispered to Chen Shicheng, "Recently, there have been demons in the city that specialize in eating human flesh. I don't know if it has anything to do with the demon you killed."

"Don't you, the county magistrate, care? What about the practitioners? I remember there are a lot of spirit mediums here. Why doesn't anyone come to solve this trouble?" Chen Shicheng asked specifically after glancing at Mr. Hui Si.

"Why didn't the county governor do anything? He just beheaded a few bandits a few days ago to appease the people, but the cannibalism incidents not only did not subside, but became more and more serious."

Zhao Dongyang shook his head in disdain, then recalled briefly and said, "As for the spirits you mentioned, there were many when I was young, but I haven't heard much about them in recent years."

"Yeah."

Chen Shicheng nodded thoughtfully.

The Zhao Dongyang in front of him often travels on escort missions in Fengchuirishan. He looks much older than he actually is. However, even if we estimate the age as low as possible, his childhood must have been at least 20 years ago.

In other words, when Mr. Hui Si was busy dealing with the Immortal-Slaying Formation, something unexpected happened in his hometown.

If you think positively, it might be a move, but if you think negatively, then things will be really serious!
After bidding farewell to Zhao Dongyang, Chen Shicheng followed the smell and found the inn in Huanglong County City. He asked for a room upstairs and moved in.

"Boy, don't move around here. I'm going to go out and get some information and I'll be back soon."

As soon as the door was closed, Mr. Gray, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Do you need my help?" Chen Shicheng would not miss such an opportunity to show kindness and was eager to try.

"No, I'm more familiar with this place than you are, and it's more convenient for me to go alone."

After Master Hui Si finished speaking, he immediately activated the Five Ghosts to move and disappeared in the room.

Chen Shicheng didn't care about this. After all, no matter what happened here, with Mr. Hui Si's current condition, he could only get some information. If he wanted to solve it, he had to rely on himself.

However, what he didn't expect was that Mr. Gray would be gone for a whole day.

At night, Huanglong County City was bustling with people, even more lively than during the day.

Of course, it’s not that the nightlife here is very rich. When it gets dark, the streets become deserted, and with paper money all over the ground, this place looks like a ghost town.

The people below were a large group of people organized by the county magistrate's office. They were patrolling the long street with torches in hand. The blazing flames formed a line, like a swimming dragon, circling the streets and alleys.

Chen Shicheng and Latiao stood in front of the window and watched for a long time. Not only did they not wait for Mr. Hui Si, they also did not see the so-called man-eating monster. It was not until the second half of the night that they simply fell asleep.

As for offline?

Stop kidding, I spent points to buy the fasting pills just to be able to stay in the game for a longer time.

The next morning.

Chen Shicheng, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a loud noise. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to look for Mr. Hui Si in the room, but he found nothing.

When he got dressed and walked out of the room, the scene in front of him stunned him.

Zhao Dongyang was seen kneeling at the door of the inn, his clothes wet with morning dew. He was surrounded by passers-by, who were pointing and talking with sympathy on their faces.

In front of him, on a piece of white cloth spread out on the ground, was a finger that, judging by its size, should belong to a child's hand.

And the moment Chen Shicheng walked out of the room, the whispers in the yard of the inn stopped abruptly.

Zhao Dongyang, who was kneeling on the ground, also felt something and raised his head stiffly.

The moment he looked into his eyes, Chen Shicheng was also shocked.

Although Zhao Dongyang's strength is not very high, his dark skin and strong muscles give people an inexplicable sense of security. Anyone who sees him will call him a man of iron.

But now, his lips were pale and his face was lifeless, his eyes were bloodshot and lifeless, and he looked like a walking corpse.

It was not until he made eye contact with Chen Shicheng that he suddenly came to his senses, regained some of his popularity, and his eyes lit up.

"Senior! My family is in trouble. My young son was killed by a ghost last night. I rushed in and only managed to get back one of his fingers. I have spent all my wealth to ask you to avenge my son!"

Zhao Dongyang's tone was sorrowful, and he kowtowed continuously. Blood was visibly splattered, and his forehead became a bloody mess.

[Discovery Mission: Revenge]

[Task Introduction: The escort leader Zhao Dongyang, who you met once, had his young son killed last night. He hopes you can kill the soul-attached zombie to avenge him. Do you accept? ]

[Quest Reward: 13 Gold, 155 Silver, 395 Bronze.] Upon hearing this, the people in the courtyard of the inn were also terrified and sighed.

"It was really the work of evil spirits. The county governor killed those people."

"I can't stay in this city anymore. I think I should stay at my relatives' house for a few days to take shelter."

"It's the Zhao family's youngest son who died. How pitiful."

"I have seen that child before. He is so cute. How come he is targeted by the demon? What a pity."

Chen Shicheng looked at Zhao Dongyang who kept kowtowing and listened to the discussions of people around him. He was dumbfounded for a moment.

Although the mission reward was not very attractive, more than ten gold coins was not a small amount of money. It was probably all of Zhao Dongyang's belongings after selling all his money.

If he was at the scene like yesterday, he wouldn't mind killing the accomplices and helping Zhao Dongyang to get revenge.

The problem is that no one knows where the evil ghost has gone. If we want to find it, we have to wait and see like the people patrolling the streets last night.

But the purpose of his coming here was to let Mr. Gray return to his hometown, so he had no time to waste on things like patrolling.

Chen Shicheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he was thinking of an excuse, a burst of dense footsteps suddenly came from outside the yard.

Looking up, I saw more than ten Taoists and monks entering one after another, led by yamen runners.

As soon as these people came in, their eyes fell on the severed finger in front of Zhao Dongyang. Their faces instantly became serious, and some even wanted to go forward to take a look.

"Excuse me, sir, why are you mobilizing so many troops here? Is there something going on?"

In the crowd, the escort who accompanied Zhao Dongyang hurried forward to stop them and asked respectfully.

"Master Liu, we heard that Captain Zhao met that man-eating monster last night. Is this true?" A leading bailiff stepped forward and asked with a sympathetic tone and a bow.

"Oh, it's true. It was such a sudden disaster. Captain Zhao's young son lost his life last night, and we only managed to recover a severed finger." Escort Liu said with sympathy.

At this time, the Taoist priest and monk brought by the yamen runners had passed the two people and came in front of Zhao Dongyang. They ignored the victim who was kowtowing and examined the severed finger with an uncertain expression.

"The wounds are jagged and there's ghostly aura left. It looks like it wasn't a monster that did it, but most likely a ghost."

"Humph, I told you before that this was a crime committed by ghosts, otherwise how could we not be able to track any traces!"

Several Taoists gathered together to discuss for a while and came to a conclusion. Then one of the monks asked Zhao Dongyang, "Amitabha, may I ask if Mr. Zhao could see the ghost clearly last night?"

Zhao Dongyang seemed not to have heard it and had no reaction. He just stared at Chen Shicheng with a pleading face.

Although he was extremely sad, he was not to the point of seeking medical help from all sources. The evil spirits and demons that were cannibalizing people had been going on for a long time. If these "experts" invited by the county magistrate were really capable of catching the murderer, how could they let their young son be killed?

And yesterday, he saw with his own eyes how Chen Shicheng killed the helpless ghosts with one blow, so he could clearly tell who the real God was.

Seeing this, Escort Master Liu, who was trying to make friends with the yamen runners, stepped forward and patted Zhao Dongyang on the shoulder. "Captain Zhao, the master is asking you a question. Please explain the situation clearly. The Taoist masters and the masters will definitely be able to help you."

While he was speaking, several Taoists and magicians present nodded secretly, acting like masters from otherworldly places.

However, Zhao Dongyang seemed not to notice it and smiled bitterly, "How long has the monster in Huanglong County been eating people? These so-called masters have never even seen the appearance of a monster, and they still want to verify with me how to subdue the monster?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole courtyard was in an uproar!
Everyone present looked at these Taoists and monks with strange eyes.

is not that right.

If these masters were really capable, they would have destroyed the evil monsters long ago. Why would they have to wait until now?

Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, one of the Taoists flew into a rage. "How dare you, a scoundrel, say such outrageous things? If we hadn't been tracking you day and night, how could only these few people have died in the county city? The city would have been massacred by ghosts long ago. Today, I'll spare you this time because your young son just died. If you dare to speak out again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhao Dongyang smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard this, and kowtowed to Chen Shicheng again, "Senior, I know you have extraordinary abilities. I don't ask you to kill the tiger monster, I only ask you to help my son get revenge. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Chen Shicheng with surprise.

However, the Taoist priests and monks looked at Chen Shicheng with a bad look, "Young man, there are some things you cannot interfere with. Maybe I have some friendship with your master. Tell me, which master are you from?"

"?"

Chen Shicheng was stunned.

In terms of his master's school, he can be considered an outstanding graduate of XX University in City C. Although he cannot be compared with the true disciples of the masters and doctors, he can also be considered an inner disciple.

how?

Are you a professor at another university?
Do you want me to ask your former counselor to come and make friends with you?
