The Mysterious Resurrection of the Past of the Republic of China

Chapter 104 The Secret of Ghost Money

The human-skin paper that had been dormant for a long time was now successfully in debt under the influence of the bank, and the black and twisted fonts also resurfaced on it.

It's just that this time it's not the real story ghost who controls it, but the oppression from the bank.

Zhang Dong held the human skin paper in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. After looking at each other, he stole the law of the text without hesitation.

"I wonder if the ability of human skin paper can rewrite the contents of the ledger. There may be similarities between the two."

Feeling the familiar power of words, he moved his eyes to the account book again.

"It should be possible. Although it can't compete with the entire bank, there is still no problem in changing the contents of the ledger." Zhang Bohua said lightly, having already thoroughly analyzed the capabilities of the ledger and human skin paper.

"That's fine."

Zhang Dong nodded, and then tried to control the power of words to change the status of everyone on the ledger.

Ranked first is Luo Wensong. His strength is almost the highest among everyone, so he is regarded as the first debt target by the bank.

The second one is Li Qingzhi, then Zhou Sheng'an and Li Jishan.
"It seems that the banks are ranked according to their strength level, but why is my name in an inconspicuous corner?"

Zhang Dong squinted his eyes slightly and looked through it roughly.

He actually ranked behind dozens of people.

Subsequently.

He stared at the word 'owed' behind Luo Wensong's name, silently thinking about what he wanted to change.

as predicted.

Under the influence of some kind of force, the scarlet words began to gradually fade, and soon turned into the black word 'flat'. Although the process was slow, it finally had an effect.

After changing Luo Wensong's status.

Zhang Dong immediately corrected the names of Li Qingzhi and others.

Counting himself, there were eight people in total.

They are Luo Wensong, Li Qingzhi, Zhang Bohua, Zhou Sheng'an, Li Jishan, Mr. Liu and Chen Zhijiang.

These eight people were also the ones who were originally planned to enter the ghost concentration. As for the other residents, Zhang Dong did not intend to let them continue to get involved in this mess. Instead, he used erasure and writing abilities to directly erase their names.

"Once there is no name in the ledger, he will be rejected by the ghost collection and return to reality."

Zhang Bohua analyzed this after seeing his move.

Do it all.

Zhang Dong threw the account book on the table again, and then returned to the outside of the bank with young Zhang Bohua.

As expected.

Everyone will wake up from the state of debt, but only Li Qingzhi and others can stay in the market, while others will return to reality.

Using their ability to distort reality again, they returned to the ghost concentration.

soon.

The residents of Taiping Town on the ghost market seemed to be awakening from a deep sleep, their lifeless faces became blank, and some people showed a bit of shock, confusion, and surprise.

Apparently they were awake but had no idea what was going on.

But before they could react, the figures of most people began to fade, becoming illusory, looming, and disappearing like a wisp of smoke blown away by the wind.

Only a few people who were still on the bill were left. After looking around, they immediately discovered Zhang Dong and gathered here.

"Brother." Li Qingzhi walked over with a solemn expression, holding the hatchet in his hand tightly for fear that someone would take it away, "My consciousness was actually affected, and I didn't notice it, but I actually appeared here directly. .”

"Is this a gathering of ghosts? Why is it different from previous years?" Chen Zhijiang also walked over, always wary of his surroundings. "The power that affected us just now was very strange. It could directly bypass my shroud."

The long gown he wore could not only block supernatural attacks, but also protect against the power of consciousness, but under the influence of that power, he was attacked without any reaction.

Also coming together were the elderly Zhang Bohua, Zhou Sheng'an and so on.

"This force that affects you is not an attack on consciousness, but a debt relationship."

The eight people gathered together, and Zhang Dong immediately explained to them.

"Through my investigation, I found that once you enter the Ghost Collection, a name will be left on Huang Quan's bill. He can control anyone's status by changing the status of the name, and can directly ignore the supernatural powers in you."

"Yes, you were all in debt just now, so you turned into a zombie and worked in the underworld to pay off your debts." The young Zhang Bohua also regained control of the old Zhang Bohua and added at the side.

"What a terrible method. It can bypass any supernatural being. Now I doubt that any evil ghost can avoid it." Luo Wensong also frowned deeply.

As the president of the Paranormal Society, I have dealt with countless supernatural incidents, but today this is the first time I have encountered it.

"I think this should be the secret of ghost money." Li Jishan analyzed, "You should know how to use ghost money. Whenever you are attacked by a ghost, you can use ghost money to replace the attack and let the ghost enter a targetless world. State. Now it seems that the ghost who received the ghost money should have become the state we just had."

"Don't forget, the terror levels of ghosts are different, and the amount of money to buy a life is also different. Most ghosts only need three yuan, and the more terrifying ones cost five yuan, but I have never seen a life-purchasing price of seven yuan. Life money." Chen Zhijiang said solemnly.

"I saw it." Zhang Dong said solemnly, "I just saw on the bill that among the eight people present, only Li Qingzhi and Luo Wensong paid seven yuan for their lives, and the others paid five yuan."

He paid attention just now. At first he didn't understand what the amount written behind the name meant, but now he knew it was the amount that someone needed to pay to fall into debt.

"If I'm not wrong, you can search around on your body now, and you may be able to find the money to buy your life." Zhang Bohua stroked his beard and said.

Everyone's heart trembled, and they were all searching for it.

as predicted.

They quickly dug out a colorful note from various places, and the amount was the same as Zhang Dong said.

"It turns out that this thing got us into that state. It's such a weird method." Luo Wensong clutched a seven-yuan note and said, "This thing doesn't seem to conflict with the supernatural, so it can bypass everyone's precautions."

Everyone was holding the paper money, feeling vaguely uneasy in their hearts.

Huang Quan only needs a small piece of ghost money to bribe everyone, so it is really possible for him to kill Taiping Town on his own.

If Zhang Dong hadn't found a solution today, everyone would be in trouble.

"Without any further delay, since we are no longer affected by this ability, let's kill Huang Quan immediately." Zhang Dong's expression immediately became solemn after seeing that everyone was fine.

Return to the bank.

With the influence of the ability to distort reality, everyone successfully entered the bank.

"Is ghost money made here?" Chen Zhijiang held the five-yuan note and looked around nervously.

Just walking in this bank, he felt very uneasy, as if there were countless eyes staring at him in the darkness.

"This house has three floors, one underground and two above ground. We are on the first floor now." Li Jishan paused and then said, "This floor is where accounts are settled, and the third floor is where money is made. There seems to be something locked on the underground floor.”

Everyone glanced at him, a little curious about his ability to detect, especially Zhang Bohua who looked at him with a bit of surprise.

"Brother, where are we going now? Huang Quan will definitely hide after we wake up, why not just demolish the bank." Li Qingzhi said coldly while holding the hatchet.

Zhang Dong glanced at the upright 'accountant' with cold eyes, pondered for a while and then said: "Go to the underground floor first."

No one had any objections, and they immediately set out to search on the first floor.

The ghost center was already dark, and everything could only be seen as a vague outline, let alone finding the entrance to the underground level in the gloomy bank.It is even more difficult.

"It's very big here. I'm afraid it's not that easy to find the right entrance." Zhou Sheng'an said nervously. Since he had been away from the coffin for too long, he had to use some means to keep the huge black coffin standing behind him at all times. Even so , everyone can also see that he is in a bad state now and walks weakly.

"You don't have much time. If you can't, just sleep in the coffin. You can come out after we solve the problem." Luo Wensong glanced at him and said.

"There's no need for a young man like you to teach me," Zhou Sheng'an said coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you have the strength, you might as well find a way to find the entrance." Zhang Dong said sharply, interrupting them directly.

"Let me give it a try. I can't make no contribution at all." Chen Zhijiang said suddenly.

Subsequently.

He lifted up the old gown, revealing the clothes underneath.

They were old shrouds of different colors. They looked like they had not been washed for many years. Some were even dyed with blood. Now that they had lost some kind of supernatural suppression, they started to overflow with smelly blood.

Everyone stopped and watched him rummaging for a certain piece of clothing.

The shrouds were stacked one on top of the other. It felt like at least dozens of shrouds had been worn, but they were as thin as one when stacked together.

Zhang Dong's expression changed, and he knew very clearly that these shrouds were all made by ghosts, and each one probably had different abilities.

Chen Zhijiang must have put on everything he could for this ghost gathering, and he must have suffered serious supernatural damage.

"found it."

Chen Zhijiang's expression changed, he dug out a shroud covered with scarlet footprints, and pulled it off directly from his body.

As soon as this light shroud fell to the ground, it spontaneously squirmed and stood up. There were no limbs under the clothes but it was extremely full, as if an invisible person was wearing this clothes.

"Go find that entrance."

Chen Zhijiang's face hardened and he gave an order to the clothes.

In everyone's shocked eyes.

The shroud with footprints moved forward spontaneously, leaving a strange bloody footprint on the ground with every step taken by the trouser legs that had nothing on them.

And these bloody footprints are different from ordinary footprints. They keep walking after the clothes are gone, deviating from the original route and exploring in other directions.

Each footprint represents a force that helps Chen Zhijiang search for the entrance to the underground floor in the house.

"It's an incredible thing. It seems to be able to go to some invisible places, and the number is infinite. As long as it walks long enough, it can definitely fill the entire room." Zhang Bohua's expression moved slightly, and he immediately saw it. The upper limit of this dress.

Every step it takes leaves behind an invisible clone. These clones can serve as sources to explore, and can also detect places of supernatural shielding.

"Just some little tricks."

Chen Zhijiang said politely, then waited there for more than ten seconds, and then said calmly: "It has been found."

Zhang Dong nodded and motioned for everyone to follow.

soon.

They followed a less obvious footprint and came to a dark corner. In the corner was a paper figure squatting. The paper figure was curled up together, with its face and knees touching each other, and its two arms raised above its head, with its palms facing up. , face down, like a roadside beggar begging.

"You have to pay to go down there."

Chen Zhijiang said, and then put his five-yuan note in the paper man's hand.

Once contacted.

The stiff body of the paper man suddenly relaxed, he put the paper money in his hand into his arms, and then groped on the wall with his other hand.

Followed.

A secret door suddenly appeared in the corner.

"Walk."

There was no hesitation.

Zhang Dong took the lead and got in.

Everyone immediately followed and reached the underground floor after passing through a winding staircase.

"This is like a prison cell"

Zhang Bohua narrowed his eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Directly in front of the eight people was a narrow walkway, with cages on both sides of the walkway. There were piles of weeds and some yellow paper in the cages.

The cage was very broken, and the firewood used to make it was riddled with holes. It looked so weak in the wind and sun that it could blow away in one breath.

The surrounding walls were also pitted, with some weird claw marks left on them, and the ravines they dug were still covered with rotten meat that exuded the stench of corpses.

Everyone was shocked and slowed down to observe in this underground cell.

"There is a place like this below the bank, but there seems to be nothing in it. So why is Huang Quan used to lock it up?" Luo Wensong asked with a frown, glancing at Zhou Sheng'an from time to time.

Zhou Sheng'an noticed his gaze: "I haven't seen him for decades, how could I know?"

"Is it possible that he also encountered extremely dangerous ghosts, so he built these cells?" Chen Zhijiang gave a guess.

"Unlikely." Zhang Dong's eyes moved slightly and he rejected him directly, "Ghost money can attract evil ghosts. It is by no means an ordinary supernatural power, but involves some kind of method that we have never been exposed to, such as..."

He thought of the regular ghost.

Ghosts and laws are inseparable. Most supernatural powers act directly on ghosts, but there are also a few that act on laws.

Often this ability to act on laws is particularly terrifying and unexplainable.

For example, the ghost of rules or the ghost of bumping into people.

Now there seems to be more ghost money.

"So what you mean is that no evil ghost or ghost master can escape from Gui Qian?" Chen Zhijiang asked.

"That's what it means."

Zhang Dong paused and replied.

Luo Wensong has almost reached the level of Qi Lao at this moment, and he is still unable to escape the influence of ghost money, which is enough to prove that his speculation is correct.

"hiss"

At this time, Mr. Liu, who was walking at the front, suddenly quickened his pace and approached a cell.

This cell contained a body and was not empty like the other cells.

When everyone got closer, they discovered that the body was actually that of a foreigner.

"This guy looks familiar. He seems to be the guy who disappeared without an oil lamp in my inn a few days ago."

　I have to spend time with my family during the recent holidays, so the update time is not stable.
