Chapter 112

In fact, Chen Shicheng didn't want to get involved in such matters.

Moreover, Zhao Dongyang's behavior was like forcing the emperor to abdicate and was like putting him on the spot. He offended these Taoists and monks without even saying a few words.

Although he was not very afraid of these people, they still caused him some trouble, and he hated this kind of moral kidnapping the most in his life.

But relatively speaking, what he hated more was the reactions of these monks and Taoists.

Right from the start, he acted like a senior expert and spoke in a condescending tone. Who brought this bad habit upon him?
He simply ignored the angry monk and Taoist priest, lowered his head and said to Zhao Dongyang, "You know what ghosts are, they come and go without a trace. I don't have any good countermeasures for this kind of spirit monsters, I'm afraid I'm powerless."

Looking at Zhao Dongyang, whose eyes suddenly lost their light, and the monks and Taoist priests with expressions that said "I hope you know what's going on", Chen Shicheng changed his tone and said, "But if I can meet the ghost, I will definitely help you get revenge."

Zhao Dongyang's eyes lit up when he heard that. He kowtowed heavily with red eyes, "Senior, you are so kind. Zhao Dongyang will obey your orders."

When the Taoists and monks saw this scene, they were immediately furious. They pointed at Chen Shicheng and moved their lips twice, then flicked their long sleeves and ran out.

Instead, the bailiff who led them here did not leave immediately, but whispered to Escort Liu about Chen Shicheng's background.

Escort Master Liu was also one of the people present at the ruined temple yesterday. He of course knew Chen Shicheng's strength and immediately started talking about it with great enthusiasm.

After hearing that Chen Shicheng just waved his hand to split a zombie in half, and killed the ghosts that broke out of the body, and saved the son of the county magistrate, the yamen runners were immediately delighted and left in a hurry.

However, not long after, he returned to the inn again with a document signed by the county magistrate himself in his hand, which was about recruiting foreign masters.

[Discovery Mission: Kill the Demons]

[Task Description: Recently, demons have been causing trouble in Huanglong County, and the people are living in misery. The county governor is worried about the people, so he has issued a warrant to hunt down demons and invite practitioners with special skills to hunt down demons.]

[Task Reward: After completion, you can choose any skill in the County City Library*1]

If Chen Shicheng agreed to help Zhao Dongyang with revenge before because he looked down on these monks and Taoists who were not as strong as him but still looked like masters, then now it is because of the interests that are moving their hearts.

Even though the county governor's office couldn't do anything to a mere lackey, it was still the highest power center in the local area.

He didn't believe that there would be no good things in the library. After all, there were still three pounds of nails in a rotten boat.

However, when Chen Shicheng took over the documents, he found that this mission was a mess. The county magistrate's office did not know as much about the ghosts as he, a newcomer.

At first, only a few children disappeared accidentally in Huanglong County, and the county magistrate did not take it seriously. Later, when the matter became more and more serious and more and more children disappeared, he thought it was the work of human traffickers.

So they followed the previous handling standards and randomly chopped off a few heads. One reason was to give an explanation to the people, and the other was to deter these human traffickers.

Unexpectedly, after the beheading, the situation escalated.

It was not until then that the county magistrate realized that something was wrong and began to issue orders frequently, asking the yamen runners to arrest the real culprit, and even dispatched soldiers guarding the border for this purpose.

Unfortunately, things still haven't gotten better, and it's not even clear who the murderer is.

In desperation, he began to invite all kinds of people from the surrounding area, but there were countless unqualified people among them, and they were also undisciplined. Each of them had his own opinions and did not give any face at all.

Moreover, the government was also confused. They could handle some thefts among ordinary people, but they were at a loss when it came to supernatural crimes.

In the end, they could only let these people from all walks of life show their abilities, under the euphemism of decentralization, while the county magistrate just stayed in his mansion every day.

These so-called experts around are all arrogant but have no skills at all. They have long been envious of the library in the county magistrate's mansion. Whoever can complete the task and get the skills will have the chance to become the best person in the area.

In this situation, how can there be any intelligence sharing?

"I have a general understanding of the situation. I will accept the task." Chen Shicheng shook his head and returned the document to the bailiff helplessly.

"Sir, the county magistrate has issued an order, inviting all of you to gather at the county magistrate's mansion. Please move." The bailiff said cautiously.

We suddenly have to gather at the county magistrate's office at this time?
Chen Shicheng immediately came to his senses. Maybe this guy knew that he had killed a possessed zombie yesterday, so he wanted him to share the information?
However, he did not refuse. After all, the county magistrate's son also knew what had happened. The information about the ghost would spread sooner or later, so one day would not make a difference.

While asking about some details about the city, Chen Shicheng was led by the yamen runners to the county magistrate's mansion. He did not stop asking questions until they arrived at the door.

Under the guidance of the yamen runner, he came to the main hall.

At this moment, the place was already full of people, and Chen Shicheng suddenly discovered that there seemed to be quite a few evil people who took on the task this time.

In addition to the group of Taoists and monks we had just met in the inn, there were also some nuns and Taoist nuns, and even street performers and farm ladies wearing coarse linen clothes.

More than 15 people were crowded here, it was a riot of demons. He used Bai Ze's pupil to check the panel data of these people. Except for a few who reached level , the rest were basically hovering around level or .

What's even more ridiculous is that the three attributes of these people's spirit, energy and soul are basically the same as those of the players.

In other words, in terms of qualifications, these people are all at the bottom of the list. If they don't have any adventures, their lives will probably be over.

The most speechless thing is that he also found an ordinary person. Can you believe it?
This guy who somehow got in is a boy in his teens, possibly not even an adult yet. He was wearing ragged clothes that were washed so much that they looked bleached. He huddled in the corner and didn't seem to be used to this kind of occasion.

Of course, it is not a big deal for an ordinary person to sneak into such a chaotic situation.

But what surprised Chen Shicheng was that Mr. Gray, who had been missing for a night, was actually standing on the shoulders of this little boy.

After seeing him come in, it said something to the little boy and actually walked straight towards him.

"Boy, do me a favor!"

As soon as he approached, Chen Shicheng heard the telepathic voice of Mr. Hui Si, but he had no way to reply at this moment because everyone present was looking at him.

Apart from the Taoists and monks they had just met who had unfriendly looks, the rest of the people were more curious and inquiring.

After all, before Chen Shicheng arrived, everyone had already had a brief exchange and knew the reason why they were called here by the county magistrate. This latecomer was quite powerful and could take care of the evil spirits in one fight.

Moreover, he looks pretty good. Although his clothes have lost their protective function due to being torn, they are magical weapons and look very valuable. Add to that the mask on his face, and no one really looks down on him.

After giving Mr. Gray Si a look to tell him to calm down, Chen Shicheng recounted what happened yesterday as requested by the county magistrate.

"Everyone, after listening to the explanation of this young hero Chen, I believe you should have a general understanding of the demon that is causing trouble. Recently, this demon has caused panic among the people in the county city, so I have no choice but to take action. I hope you can take action as soon as possible and restore peace to Huanglong County City!"

The county magistrate gave a passionate speech, bringing everyone to the point, and then someone immediately jumped out.

"My Lord, I didn't know the details of the evil spirit before, so I got nothing. Now I know it's the evil spirits, and I have a secret technique that can track their whereabouts."

"but."

The man glanced at Chen Shicheng, then turned his gaze to the little boy standing next to him, "Everyone here has achieved success in cultivation. I am not strong enough and need your help. But this child, if I am not mistaken, should be just an ordinary person."

"Although I don't know if he was brought in by someone to fish in troubled waters, or if he was just trying to gain some experience, it's good enough that he didn't hold us back. Does he have to get a share of the success, too?"

It was probably because Chen Shicheng killed the demon with one blow that put a lot of pressure on him.

So after specifically explaining his abilities, he also brought other people together in an attempt to jointly put pressure on Chen Shicheng.

At this moment, the little boy was standing behind Chen Shicheng in a daze, so it was self-evident who this man was talking about.

Everyone present turned their eyes to Chen Shicheng and the little boy beside him and began to whisper, but the sound could be heard clearly by everyone present.

"I was wondering why there was an ordinary person here. It turns out he was brought here by someone."

"Although someone is very powerful, he can't take it lightly like this, right?"

"I know that kid. I heard that the elder in his family is a spirit medium. He's not an ordinary person, right?"

"What about the immortals? The five great immortals have disappeared for a long time. I think it's long time ago."

"You're talking nonsense! The immortals haven't disappeared. I've been spotted by them and have been accepted into their sect. I'm already a disciple of the Chu Ma Xian. As long as I invite the leader, you guys will definitely not be my opponent!"

No one knew what had touched the boy's nerves with these people's words, his face instantly turned red and he stood up angrily.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone looked at the little boy in surprise. Even Chen Shicheng was stunned.

What's going on?
I have been trying so hard to win over Mr. Gray for so long but still failed, and this boy has already done NTR to me in just one night?
Master Hui Si did not expect that the boy would suddenly stand up. You know, he just discovered this unique spirit medium last night and had no chance to take him under his wing to learn his skills.

So although what the child said is correct, it is absolutely impossible to successfully invite a spirit to possess you.

But the words have been said. If it offends these people, its only clue may disappear directly. It can only seek help from Chen Shicheng beside it.

"Chen boy, please help me keep this child. I owe you a favor."
