Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 256 Being a dog? You have high expectations.

"Who?"

Basson wanted to turn his head, but the hooks on the ropes on his body that were flashing with a cold light were constantly reminding him... Be good, and you won't suffer.

Footsteps were heard and a figure appeared in Basson's sight.

The man who came was taller than him, about 1.85 meters, with a strong build. He was wearing a black training suit and looked very much like those older fortune tellers in the world of the living.

The black training suit will give people a sense of calmness when worn by those fortune tellers.

But when worn by the man in front of him, it gave him a tense feeling ready to strike.

In addition to that, there is the mask covered with mesh on the face of the man in black.

"Who are you and why did you bring me here?"

Basson asked.

He tried to break free from the ropes, but every time he used the Yin energy in his body or twisted his body, the ropes and the hooks on the ropes would become tighter and dig deeper.

If that were all, Basson might have to try to break free by exerting all his strength. As for whether his body would be hurt, he didn't care.

But in fact, he didn't dare to move at all.

Because he felt that there was something unusual about the hooks on it.

It seemed that even if he wanted to give up his physical body, he and the ghost in his body could not escape the restraints of the ropes on their bodies.

So he could only accept his fate and think of other ways besides using force.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking others?"

Although there was a hint of sarcasm in this sentence, the voice beneath the mask was unusually calm, as if he was saying this just to know the other person's name.

"My name is Basson."

Snapped!
Basson's face turned hideous after being slapped.

It wasn't how painful the slap was, but that his body shook involuntarily after being hit.

As his body trembled, the hook on the rope naturally penetrated deeper.

Before the physical and mental pain and humiliation had passed, Basson heard the man's words again.

"Continue with the introduction."

Enduring the pain, Basong lowered his head and spoke quickly: "My name is Basong, I am Thai-Burmese, and I am one of the nine great masters of the Skull God Religion."

"Thai and Burmese, what are you doing in Daxia?"

"The leader of the Skull God Cult is a Thai-Burmese. I used to have a friendship with him, so I was persuaded to come to Daxia... My Lord, I just don't know how to judge people. If you can let me go back, I will definitely leave Daxia..."

Snapped!
The sound of slapping rang out again, and the expression on Basson's face became more ferocious.

Of course, this time not only did the soul hook on his body hurt, but the slap on his face also hurt like fire.

That slap just now contained the power of Qi and blood, and it was very well-controlled.

But why did the other party dare to use the power of qi and blood in the underworld?

Aren’t you afraid that the ghosts from the underworld will smell the scent and come looking for you?
An idea suddenly popped into Basson's mind.

Otherwise... just ignore him, let him use the power of qi and blood, and then attract the big ghost to kill him!

As Basson was thinking, the voice rang out again.

"Answer whatever you are asked."

"Yes!"

Basson was scared. He was afraid that he would die before the other party died at the hands of the ghost.

"Where are the nine great masters of the Skull God Cult? Where is the headquarters of the Skull God Cult?"

"..."

Bassoon was silent for only two breaths before continuing.

If you don't speak up, that slap will fall again.

“I don’t know exactly. Among the nine great masters, only three have fixed locations. The other masters are basically like me, wandering around Daxia or other countries. After all, as long as they are human, the Skull God Cult doesn’t care whether they are from Daxia or not.

Of course, because there are so many people in Daxia, it would be difficult to find a few, so most of the nine masters are still in Daxia."

Seeing that the other party had put his hand down, Basson continued speaking.

"There are three masters with fixed locations. One is in Xiangzhu City. Her name is Gu Yuelan. She is in charge of trafficking people and making skull god talismans. But I don't know her exact location now because someone in Xiangzhu City targeted the industry of the Skull God Cult in Xiangzhu City a while ago. Gu Yuelan has gone into hiding."

"The second one was in Shijiazhuang. His name was Ruan Hua. He was in charge of the winery business. Uh... he should be gone now. Just tonight, he was attacked by a mysterious party. I also survived the attack and escaped. Now that guy should be gone. There should be eight of the Nine Great Masters for now."

"As for the third master, his name is Bai Yingcang. He is not in Daxia, but in the border area between Thailand, Myanmar and Daxia. He is also mainly responsible for managing the population. However, unlike the human traffickers in Xiangzhu City, his method is more fashionable. He only needs to shoot a short video and send it out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Basson heard the other party's doubts.

"Send a video?"

"Yes, Bai Yingcang's men used to commit telephone fraud, but after Daxia strengthened education and crackdowns in this area, Bai Yingcang gave up the old method of telephone fraud, which had low returns, and switched to short videos."

Basong thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the details, but basically they post short videos about their leisurely and wonderful life in the border area. If someone asks about the situation, they respond enthusiastically, and then they ask the other party to find them when they go to the border to play, so that they can be taken away."

"Because it is the border between two countries, it is difficult for either Daxia or Thailand and Myanmar to take action, so basically no one who is caught will have a good outcome."

"Of course, Bai Yingcang is a smart man. If he really arrested someone he couldn't afford to offend... such as a relative of the commissioner of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, he would still release him, but this is rare."

When the sieve man nodded, Basson felt relieved.

Since the other party is satisfied, he has a chance.

The Skull God Cult is not his parents, and he joined the Skull God Cult only because the competition in Thailand and Myanmar was too fierce.

Besides, even if they are parents, so what?

Just as Bassoon's mind was racing, the other party spoke again.

"You haven't mentioned the leader yet."

Basson looked at the face in front of him that was full of holes, and spoke without hesitation.

"I don't know the real name of the leader of the Skull God Cult. Before he founded the Skull God Cult, I called him Zhang San. After he founded the Skull God Cult, I have always called him the leader."

"I don't know much about Zhang San. I only know that he was born in Thailand and Myanmar and grew up in Daxia. The methods of the Skull God Cult are actually the local ghost magic of Thailand and Myanmar, the skull refining technique!
Many people in Thailand and Myanmar, both officials and civilians, have learned this art. On the surface, it is not made public in Thailand and Myanmar, but in fact, it is no different from being public. "

At this point, Basong seemed to know what the masked man was going to ask, and immediately added:

"Since Thailand and Myanmar have always believed in ghosts and gods, ordinary people in Daxia do not believe in some of the rumors that have leaked out from Thailand and Myanmar. In addition, Daxia has an official public opinion survey bureau that protects the people of Daxia very well, so..."

Basson felt a little emotional when he spoke of this, and then he thought of his own situation. He felt that he seemed to have gone off track, so he quickly brought the subject back.

"The reason why Zhang San didn't start the Skull God Cult in Thailand and Myanmar is because the competition in Thailand and Myanmar is too fierce. Who knows if the person he captures is someone else's 'material'? He will have to take action when the time comes."

"but……"

There was a sigh on Basong's face.

"Zhang San is indeed a talented person. He is proficient in Daxia culture and familiar with Daxia language. I don't know how he combined the skull refining technique with Daxia's native ghost technique. It is said that... he also seems to have joined the Public Opinion Survey Bureau."

When Basson said this, it was obvious that the masked man was a little surprised.

With a thought in his mind, Basong continued, "But he definitely didn't join under the identity of Zhang San. If...if you need information about Zhang San joining the Public Opinion Bureau, I can help you find it. I can be your dog."

Basson said sincerely.

The silence between the two made his heart beat faster.

As long as I can survive, what’s the harm in being a dog?
After leaving here, he will flee Daxia directly and then inform the leader of this person's information.

If he can't solve it, someone else will naturally solve it.

As he was thinking this, he heard the other person's laughter.

"You have high demands. You want such an important position right away."

"Ok?"

Basson's mind was full of question marks.

Shouldn't being a dog be the most humble thing?

What does the other person mean by this?
Basong didn't understand, he just saw the masked man took out a copper coin-like pendant from his trouser pocket and threw it at him. The moment the copper coin pendant touched his body, his face suddenly turned pale.

The ghost in his body is gone!
"You, what did you do? What did you do?"

As Bassoon shouted, his white and tender skin began to melt and drip onto the ground.

Bassoon's face became droopy and his eyes and nose began to collapse.

"You, what on earth did you do..."

Bassoon stretched out his hand, trying to grab the copper coin pendant on his body, but when he raised it halfway, his hand completely melted, like a melted candle.

In just three or four breaths, Basson, a living man, turned into a pile of semi-solid mixture on the ground.

……

Chen Xin took a look at the pile of stuff and was surprised at the methods used by the people from the Skull God Cult.

He even saw familiar shadows in these situations of the Skull God Cult.

Ninth day!

Why can't these guys from the Skull God Cult be regarded as intelligent ghosts?

With this thought in mind, Chen Xin became more interested in the Skull God Cult.

Turning around, he looked at the three-headed statue that was still bound by the reeds.

He reached out and took the underworld-level evil-suppressing coin that had just suppressed the ghost in Basong's body, and took out an ordinary copper coin from his pocket with his left hand.

Place the underworld-level evil-suppressing coins on top of ordinary copper coins.

A pale yellow light flashed, and the ghost of Basong in the underworld-level evil-suppressing coin was transferred into the ordinary copper coin.

This is the underworld-level ability to suppress evil spirits, [Seal the Money].

There are two ways to use it.

One is the method used by Chen Xin, which is to seal the ghost in the evil-suppressing coin into an ordinary copper coin for seven days. During these seven days, the ghost will not be killed by the copper coin. After seven days, the copper coin will be corroded and the ghost will reappear.

The second type is the Suppressing Coin, which gives the copper coin a temporary "suppressing evil spirit" ability. After the temporary Suppressing Coin is thrown out, it can also suppress ghosts, which is similar to the first situation.

In the above two situations, the copper coins that temporarily possess the ability to "suppress evil spirits" can continue to have the power to suppress them.

In an ideal situation, as long as the underworld-level smothering coins are "renewed" on time, the temporary copper coins can also be used as smothering coins that "will not kill ghosts."

At the same time, the existence of [Sealing Money] also solves the limitation that each coin can only suppress one ghost.

However, [Sealing Money] cannot be used to bury money in a house to ward off evil spirits. It is only suitable for directly suppressing ghosts.

The reason why Chen Xin gave Shen Zhihong the option to upgrade the Suppressing Evil Money to the underworld level was because of the ability of [Seal Money].

With the ability of [Seal Money], Shen Zhihong only needs to carry money to ward off evil spirits and put a handful of copper coins in his pocket, and he will have the ability to grant his subordinates the ability to catch ghosts. This will help him establish prestige among that group of people and lead the team well.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhihong chose to play it safe and did not choose to upgrade.

Chen Xin cleared the ghost out of the coin in his hand and threw it towards the three-headed statue again.

Chen Xin originally thought that the three statues should be three ghosts that needed to be suppressed three times.

As a result, when the coin to ward off evil spirits fell on one head, the other two heads were also sucked in.

It seemed that they were regarded as the same ghost.

This saves Chen Xin some trouble.

After letting Huang Ying take the smothering coins and copper coins to Chen Xin's real body, Chen Xin's phantom body walked towards Sanshan Village again.

……

Yangshi.

After Chen Xin got the thing, he didn't say anything extra and directly put the talisman money under the pillow.

In the previous incident with Zhou Xiaoqiu, Brother Ji performed too well and left nothing behind, so Chen Xin had no way of using the money to smother the evil spirit to trace it back.

So this time at the Shijiazhuang Winery, Chen Xin did not let Brother Ji go on a killing spree. He left Ruan Hua and Basong behind, hoping to use them to trace back to other strongholds of the Skull God Cult.

It would be even better if we could find the location of the leader of the Skull God Cult.

Closing his eyes, Chen Xin began to recall the memory of the three statues of Bassoon.

What he got in the end made Chen Xin a little disappointed.

There are many memorable scenes in the three statues, but they are very fragmentary and all of them are about "eating", without any useful information at all.

Chen Xin took out the coins to ward off evil spirits and sealed the three-headed ghost statue among other copper coins for storage.

This will be useful later and cannot be wasted.

Then Chen Xin sucked back the copper coin that sealed the ghost in Basong's body.

The moment the ghost left, the copper coin was covered with verdigris. Chen Xin pinched it with his fingers and the coin turned into powder.

Shaking his head, Chen Xin lay down again and entered the memories of the ghost in Basson's body.

This time the memories were rich and coherent, but unfortunately, they still did not contain the key information that Chen Xin wanted.

The scene that Bassoon remembers most vividly is a wax museum.

A fat white wax artist takes time out of his busy work every day to secretly make his own wax figure.

It was unknown how long it was before the wax artist was discovered secretly using the wax museum's materials to make his own wax figure.

The wax sculptor's own wax figure was broken and he was fired. At the same time, the wax museum wanted to hold him accountable and ask him to compensate the museum.

But none of this has anything to do with the wax artist, because he jumped into the pot of wax.

When the wax museum looked for the wax artist, they saw the suicide note left by the wax artist.

"Wax figures are art. Since it is impossible to make a perfect wax figure, I will use myself as a mold to make the most perfect and realistic wax figure!"

Afterwards, the people in the wax museum found the whereabouts of the wax sculptor through surveillance. After they poured out the boiling wax, what appeared in front of them was not the so-called perfect wax figure, but a pool of mixture mixed in the wax.

The wax artist's art was a little too fanciful, and he didn't consider the temperature of the wax at all.

Things seemed to have ended with the death of the wax sculptor, and everything in the wax museum returned to normal.

But after all, this world is not so normal.

The wax artist who failed to fulfill his last wish turned into a ghost and wreaked havoc in the wax museum, turning each and every staff member of the wax museum into the perfect wax figure in his mind.

Until Bassoon appeared.

The wax sculptor obsessed over Bassoon, who was supposed to be made into a perfect wax figure like everyone else.

But when the wax sculptor came to him, Basson took the initiative to express his willingness to become the wax sculptor's most perfect wax figure.

Later, Bassoon was transformed into the appearance of a wax figure artist.

In order to maintain his most perfect work, the wax artist willingly let himself be sealed into the body of Bassoon.

Bassoon and the wax artist were satisfied with the result.

……

After reading this memory, Chen Xin no longer looked at the ghost in Ruan Hua's body.

He let his phantom body use the mourning staff that had been promoted to the level of Yin Shuai to summon the soul on the wax mud of Basong.

Chen Xin finally understood that he had got his target wrong.

He should be looking for Basong and Ruan Hua, not the ghosts in their bodies and the three statues!

The deep memories in their memories are theirs, not Basong and Ruan Hua’s!

After Chen Xin used the money to suppress the soul of Basong, which was not as powerful as the wandering soul, he finally got some information he wanted.

"The leader of the Skull God Cult in the Poll Bureau?"

"hehe."
