Everyone's Suppressing Ghosts: Others Contract Divine Weapons, I Contract Blank Paper

Chapter 35 The Shen Family Bows Down! Merit Points Exceed 10,000! Linjiang County Seeks Aid!

Outside the review building.

As soon as Xu Du stepped down the steps, the forum was in an uproar.

That popular post was originally locked on the homepage.

[Xu Du sold? He received a late-night visit from the Shen family, suggesting he may have joined the Shen family!]

Below the title, a line of red text appeared.

[Based on the publicly available records from the Jianggui Town Object Review Office, the recording was determined to be fabricated.]

The next second, the new post surged to the top spot.

[Unclaimed family genealogy revealed to be fake! Seven discrepancies found! Shen Hewen, from the third branch of the Shen family, is implicated!]

The replies kept piling up.

[The voice actor is Xu Du, but the meaning is not Xu Du; this judgment is too harsh.]

[The key point is that three sentences were deleted.]

I'm not going.

No changes.

The blank paper soul-guiding lamp does not belong to any family.

So he really did turn down 80 million, bro?

[There are also the privileges of the three elders and the Shen family's secret treasury.]

He didn't even issue a statement.

The abandoned town artifact finished speaking for him.

[A single sheet of paper.]

It really is just one piece of paper, bro.

The Beijing Ghost Stories Exchange Zone is also flooded with posts.

Lin Xue looked at the publicly available review record, her gaze lingering on the last line.

[Unclaimed Family Tree: Abandoned → Special Grade B Identification Target.]

She did not read the clarification post.

Only look at the rating changes.

Deng Qi stood to the side, his face stiff.

"—You can even translate this?"

Lin Xue said, "The sixth item."

Deng Qi didn't say anything more.

The sixth item.

One time was luck.

The two instances were special.

Six items, that's no coincidence.

Inside Jiang Gui's training hall.

Zhou Cheng just finished striking a set of lightning swords.

The peach wood sword with its thunder pattern fell, and the training target split in two.

Someone nearby, glancing at the forum, whispered, "Brother Cheng, is Xu Du's merit level going to increase again?"

Zhou Cheng did not turn around.

The man added, "The Shen family has openly welcomed visitors; this matter must have truly been overturned, right?"

Zhou Cheng sheathed his sword.

"The recording was edited."

The man was taken aback.

"—You knew all along?"

Zhou Cheng gave him a cold look.

He doesn't sell lamps.

The training hall fell silent.

Zhou Cheng put the thunder-patterned peach wood sword back on the sword rack, and a new record popped up on the screen.

[The review and verification of contributions to the public release of the unclaimed family genealogy is underway.]

He stared at the words for two seconds, then turned and picked up his sword again.

"Fire another target."

The main hall of the Shen family.

At the long table, Shen Yan sat in the main seat.

Shen Zhixia stood to the side.

On the main screen, the verification record for the unclaimed family tree is still open.

[Voice actor: Xu Du.]

[The intention is not to allow passage.]

[Seven instances of sound cutting.]

[Three sentences of truth have been deleted.]

[Name of the person in charge: Shen Hewen]

At the entrance of the hall, two sorcerers from Shenjia Town led a middle-aged man inside.

Shen Hewen's face turned pale.

"Master!"

"I just wanted to teach that Xu Du a lesson."

"How dare he publicly humiliate the Shen family?"

Shen Yan looked up.

Shen Hewen stopped talking after that.

Shen Yan did not reprimand him.

I didn't ask any more questions.

He only enlarged the records of the unclaimed family genealogies.

The five characters were displayed in the hall.

The three family members stood at the back, none of them daring to speak.

Shen Yan spoke up: "Third branch, resource access."

"withdraw."

The expressions of the three families changed.

Shen Yan continued, "Shen Hewen."

"Inter-tribal review."

"Record and synchronize with the Bureau of Spirituality."

Shen Hewen suddenly looked up.

"Master!"

Shen Yan did not look at him.

"Take him away."

After the person was taken away, the main hall of the Shen family fell silent.

Shen Zhixia whispered, "Father."

"The public statement has been prepared."

Shen Yan said, "Send it."

Ten minutes later.

The Jiangcheng Town Ghost Channel, Jiang Ghost Forum, and Shen Family Public Platform were all updated simultaneously.

[The Shen family's public statement.]

[One: Xu Du did not join the Shen family.]

[Second: The blank paper soul-guiding lamp was not included in the Shen family's secret treasury's shared research process.]

[Three: Xu Du explicitly declined the invitation to the main hall last night.]

[Four: The forged recording was edited and leaked by Shen Hewen, the third son of the Shen family.]

[5. The Shen family has revoked Shen Hewen's access to relevant resources, and subsequent records will be synchronized with the Spirit Management Bureau.]

The last line is shorter.

The Shen family apologized to Xu Du and Jiang Gui.

The forum was silent for three seconds.

Then the refresh rate doubled.

Has Shen Jiazhen bowed his head?

[It wasn't about bowing down, brother; it was discovered through a forced verification process using an unclaimed family tree.]

[Eighty million couldn't sway them; a fake recording dragged the third wife down with them.]

"The blank paper soul-guiding lamp does not belong to any family."

This phrase could stay up for a year now.

Where is Xu Du himself?

No response.

He hasn't responded yet.

[Because the abandoned town artifact has already said it all for him.]

The other two companies in Jiangcheng also received public statements.

One company transferred the review records to the internal assessment room.

Another account updated Xu Du's follower level overnight.

All three records had an extra line of the same note.

[It is not recommended to approach them using the conventional recruitment methods employed by established families.]

[Reason: The blank paper soul-guiding lamp does not enter the family's shared system.]

Even with 80 million from the Shen family, they couldn't be persuaded.

There's no need for others to try.

The office in the review building.

Teacher Chen pushed the latest settlement panel in front of Xu Du.

"The reward has been issued."

Xu Du glanced at it.

Home screen refreshed.

[Contribution to the verification of unclaimed family genealogies: 1800 merit points.]

[Special Grade B Appraisal Record Added: 900 Merit Points.]

[Contribution to the public evidence chain archive: 600 merit points.]

[Additional bonus: 3300 merit points.]

[Xu Duyuan's Merit Points: 7396]

[Current Merit Points: 10696]

The moment the numbers appeared, the tablet in Teacher Chen's hand vibrated.

[Permissions updated.]

[Meritorious service points exceed 10,000.]

[Jiangcheng Freshman Watchlist: Selected.]

[Eligibility for cross-city assistance application: Open.]

[C+ level task assistance and dispatch: subject to review.]

[Temporary access permission to the abandoned town resource pool: Upgraded.]

[Supplies for the Jiangcheng New Student Watchlist: 1000 blank talisman sheets.]

Current registered inventory: 5067.

Looking at the last line, Teacher Chen couldn't help but say:

—More paper needed.

Song Lin from the practical training department was standing nearby and saw it too.

He was silent for two seconds.

"—Others earn tens of thousands of merits to exchange for a protective charm."

"He broke 10,000, so he switched to a different paper company?"

Gu Hanzhou said, "And they're changing more and more."

Qin Zhaoxue looked at Xu Du.

"He has enough to use."

The office fell silent.

No one objected.

From old staff dormitories to Anmin Community, and then to abandoned factories and unclaimed family genealogies.

Xu Du always used paper.

But each time, the result was even tougher than a divine weapon.

A new list popped up on the main screen.

[Jiangcheng Cross-City Assistance Candidate Pool]

[New candidate added: Xu Du.]

[Current Identity: Jiang Guixin]

[Currently used item: White paper soul-guiding lamp.]

[Currently available task rating: C+]

[Note: For holders of special rule-based talismans, it is recommended to prioritize matching them with events involving group Yin energy, control, or authentication.]

Teacher Chen looked at the four characters "Jiang Guixinsheng" and then at the "Cross-city Assistance Candidate Pool" that followed.

"—New students, enter the cross-city candidate pool."

Song Lin said in a low voice, "Jiang Gui, how many years has it been since you did this?"

Lin Qingzhu walked in from outside the door.

"Ask less."

Teacher Chen lowered her head and continued registering.

[White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp: Special Grade A.]

[Resource pool prepared: paper effigies of mourners, nameless memorial tablets, broken wooden combs, half-face portraits of the deceased, and unclaimed family genealogies.]

[Current character set: 灭, 封, 护, 镇, 替, 改, 名, 梳, 现, 真.]

[Pollution fluctuation: 0.]

She paused for a moment when she saw the last line.

"—Still 0."

Song Lin said in a low voice, "The first three were all insane."

Gu Hanzhou continued, "He hasn't shown the slightest fluctuation up to this point."

No one in the office continued speaking.

This is the part that's most incomprehensible.

Xu Du did not explain.

He simply signed the supply registration form.

Lin Qingzhu said, "This is enough for the Shen family."

Xu Du nodded.
