Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 249: 248: Equality Device for All Beings
'Crackle~~'

Among the few ruins, Lin Beixuan and others set up camp to rest, and the burning dry firewood made crackling sounds.

We searched the entire Pingyang County but didn't find anyone. It was still as silent as Zhang Village.

These people were either eaten and turned into piles of bones on the ground, or wandered around as starving ghosts. In short, apart from them, it was basically difficult to see any living things, even cockroaches and rats were pitifully rare.

Fortunately, Lin Beixuan asked people to bring enough dry food, otherwise the first problem they would encounter after entering Luozhou would not be starvation, but food shortage.

The firelight illuminated Lin Beixuan's face, and Hu Mei still stayed beside him.

“From the tone of your voice, it seems that the Huxian lineage in your Luozhou should still be alive?” Lin Beixuan said lightly, stirring the fire.

"Our Huxian clan is the largest in the entire history of the dynasties. How could it be destroyed so easily? Besides, my ancestor had foresight and must have been hiding there with his people."

"If you are willing to take me to Sheshan, maybe we can find some clues left by our ancestors, which should be able to tell you more."

Hu Mei floated around Lin Beixuan with a fawning look on her face, and spoke in a gentle and persuasive tone that was full of flattery and expectation.

Although it didn't know why Lin Beixuan and his group came to Luozhou, it could tell that they would definitely not leave so soon.

This is an opportunity.

"Hu Xian!"

How could Lin Beixuan not see the meaning behind Hu Mei's words? He just wanted to take the opportunity to return to the clan.

However, he did not expose the other party's thoughts, but nodded and said: "If I have a chance, I will go and take a look."

"Thank you, General. Thank you, General..." Hu Mei immediately nodded and bowed.

During the time he followed Lin Beixuan, he discovered that many people called Lin Beixuan Commander, and some people began to call him General Lin Beixuan.

It keenly noticed that Lin Beixuan would respond more quickly to the title of 'General', so it started to address him by that.

General, commander...obviously general sounds better.

With Lin Beixuan's promise, it seemed quite excited and kept floating around the camp.

Huxian is longer-lived than other immortals. Although it has been an immortal in Zhang Village for decades, it is actually not yet an adult among the many Huxians.

I was in a good mood at the moment, and naturally revealed some of my true nature.

Lin Beixuan looked at the beards flying everywhere, which scared many aliens who were being trained by Wu Huo and Shen Tingmiao. They immediately frowned and were about to scold each other.

Suddenly, his ears moved and his eyes looked away.

In the ruins, ghostly shadows suddenly rose from the ground and floated out.

They were silent, their bodies were translucent, and not noticeable in the darkness. If it weren't for the subtle whimpering sound, even Lin Beixuan might have ignored it.

As these ghost shadows appeared one by one, the originally dead silent Pingyang County soon became eerie, adding a bit of weirdness to the gloomy environment.

Their eyes were empty, as if they had no consciousness. They just wandered around the ruins mechanically, occasionally making low whimpers and cries that were chilling.

The people who were training at this time also noticed this phenomenon. They immediately raised their swords and guns and looked around vigilantly.

But gradually, they discovered that these ghosts seemed to have no ill will towards them, and strictly speaking, the ghosts even ignored them.

Because just now, a pale ghost rose from the ground at their feet, and when it saw them, it did not avoid them and just passed by them.

This scene made everyone feel a little overwhelmed, and they all turned their eyes to Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan looked calm as he slowly walked up to a ghost figure, with two ghost soldiers following behind him.

"Try to see if you can talk to them. If not, take them to the forbidden area."

The ghost soldiers immediately stepped forward and stopped the ghost after hearing the order.

These ghosts should be the people who died in Pingyang County, but for some unknown reason their souls sank underground and only rise up at night.

It stands to reason that in the secular world, if the casualties in an entire county are too heavy, the whole city will be filled with resentment, and ordinary people will feel cold and uncomfortable just by getting close to it.

However, there was nothing unusual in Pingyang County when they entered, and they did not sense any resentment at all. Even now that these ghost shadows were rising from the ground, Lin Beixuan did not notice that they carried any resentment.

This is a bit difficult to explain.

Normal people will carry some resentment with them after death, not to mention those who died in vain. Their resentment will directly turn into ghosts, causing a lot of trouble to the living at night.

At this time, the ghost soldier stepped forward and reported: "General, these ghosts have no consciousness and cannot be communicated with, but..."

There was a hint of confusion in the eyes of the ghost soldier who spoke.

"But they kept saying, 'Where are you, where are you, where are you...'"

"Where?" Lin Beixuan frowned slightly when he heard that.

"Yes, they give me the feeling that they are looking for something." Another ghost soldier told Lin Beixuan his feelings truthfully.

Compared to living people, evil ghosts like them have their own unique perceptions. Just like people can slightly sense each other's emotions, the same is true for ghosts.

Lin Beixuan nodded and asked the ghost soldiers to return to the forbidden area.

He was actually looking for something... This aroused his interest.

Those official people came to Luozhou to look for something, the people from Ershengmen who trafficked people were also looking for something in Luozhou, and now even the ghosts they encountered were looking for something.

What are they looking for? Or are they looking for the same thing?
That secret treasure.

Lin Beixuan picked a ghost and followed it.

There must be someone behind these ghosts controlling them, and he plans to find out who that person is.

It stands to reason that after Pingyang County was "cleansed" by starving ghosts, there would be some starving ghosts left. However, they have been in the city for so long and have not encountered even one starving ghost. Perhaps there is a mastermind behind the scenes who is manipulating this and has already cleared out the starving ghosts in Pingyang County.

"Who will it be?"

Lin Beixuan asked Wu Huo and Shen Tingmiao to stay where they were with their men, while he himself stepped into the deep darkness.

Without the illumination of the campfire, the scene in front of him suddenly became much darker. Lin Beixuan shuttled through the ruins, his gray-black hair fluttering in the wind, becoming the only bit of color.

He used his perception to the extreme, and any unusual aura could not escape his eyes.

Behind him, three shadows flashed across the broken walls and flew off in different directions.

Finally, after spending most of the night, Lin Beixuan finally found a special one among these ghost shadows.

It was a woman with long hair that dragged on the ground. She was wearing plain clothes and holding a child in her arms.

There was no other ghost around her, she was just wandering alone in the darkness.

The other ghosts would only say "where?", but she was the only one who was different. "Where... where are you... my husband hasn't come back for a long time... if you can, please help me find out where my husband is..."

The faint words lingered in the silent night, as if a gust of cold wind was drifting back and forth in this ruined county town.

She kept murmuring these words, her eyes empty and numb, with a sadness and pity as if she were a living person.

As soon as Lin Beixuan approached, he couldn't help but be infected by this strange emotion, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.

This strange emotion spread around with the woman as the center, invading people's minds with an extremely special power.

[You encounter a special target: Ghost-Sad and Lost Lady. ]

[The ghost picture book is opened, and the information of ghost-bewildered Xuannv is successfully unlocked. 】

[Your contact with the Lady of Sadness and Despair did not result in a confrontation, and you cannot gain any abilities from her.]

[Sad and Lost Lady: One of the ten mysterious ghosts, the conditions for her birth are extremely harsh. She is always sad and heartbroken. Only when she dies in vain with an extremely firm wish in her heart will she turn into the Sad and Lost Lady. She is born confused and can only be freed by fulfilling her wish. Otherwise, it is extremely difficult to kill her.]

"Sad lady, mysterious ghost!!"

Lin Beixuan bit the tip of his tongue, and the intense pain pulled him out of the emotions emitted by the other party.

After a long time, he came into contact with information about mysterious ghosts for the second time.

The first mysterious ghost was the belly ghost. Although he did not unlock the other party's information, he learned a lot from the evil belly ghost's skin.

These mysterious ghosts are the most special of all ghosts. They are more elusive than the twelve ordinary ghosts in the secular world. Ordinary people may not encounter one in their lifetime.

But Lin Beixuan successfully contacted one today and unlocked its information.

"From what this sad and confused lady said, she is looking for someone!

Those ghosts in Pingyang County should be wandering around because of her influence."

Lin Beixuan slowly withdrew from the radiation range of Beiwang Xuannv, not wanting to be affected by her emotions anymore.

It was the first time he saw a ghost influencing people through emotions instead of evil spirits.

This method is simply unbelievable.

Can emotions actually be used as a means to fight against the enemy?

This was emitted unintentionally by Beiwang Xuannv. If the other party was awake, and she were to place it in some densely populated city to manipulate people's emotions, the harm would be unimaginable.

In this chaotic and panic-stricken era, if we had such means, it would really save us a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan's eyes were filled with a hint of murderous intent, and the Shadow Scythe in his hand made a clanging sound.

In the dark and desolate place, the sad Xuannv, holding the child in her arms, was looking for her wish aimlessly. She seemed to be unable to feel the malice coming from Lin Beixuan and continued walking on her own.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Beixuan finally did not take action and watched the other party's figure getting farther and farther away.

"Just a poor ghost."

Lin Beixuan withdrew the scythe expressionlessly. Although the ability of Beiwang Xuannv should be of great help to him, it was somewhat against his will to attack ghosts who were wandering around just to find their love for no reason.

Even though he is a monster, he has no intention of harming anyone in the other party's mind.

"I'd like to!"

"There are so many strange things in this world."

Lin Beixuan sighed and left in the opposite direction of Beiwang Xuannv.

But at this moment, a deafening noise suddenly sounded not far away.

"boom!!!"

The loud noise instantly tore through the surrounding tranquility, shaking the ground, and the air was soon filled with thick dust and smoke.

Lin Beixuan suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction where the sound came from, which was the direction of the Pingyang County gate.

"This explosion sound is so familiar."

A hint of alertness flashed in Lin Beixuan's eyes, and without saying a word, he quickly ran towards the city gate.

If this is really what he had in mind, it would be terrible.

In this secular world, below the fairyland, who can withstand a shot from that thing?
Was it an evil spirit from Southeast Asia or was it brought to the secular world by secular people?
Lin Beixuan ran in the dark night, taking advantage of the broken walls and ruins. Every time he stepped on them, the dilapidated buildings would collapse due to his huge force.

Beiwang Xuannv seemed to have reacted to the explosion as well. She turned her head strangely in the direction of the explosion, and the confusion in her eyes dissipated a little.

"Are you back?" She floated towards the explosion with the child in her arms.

Following the actions of Beiwang Xuannv, the ghosts affected by her emotions also followed her instructions and began to gather towards the gate of Pingyang County.

Wu Huo and Shen Tingmiao looked at each other.

"Let's go take a look too. If something happens to the commander-in-chief, we can go and help."

Shen Tingmiao hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

The explosion came so suddenly that many people hadn't reacted to what was happening before they heard Wu Huo and Shen Tingmiao's instructions to prepare their weapons.

Wu Huo encouraged everyone and said, "There may be a battle tonight. Just follow our usual training and try to use as few tactics as possible and fight the enemy with military formations."

"Everyone get ready and go!!"

Following Wu Huo's order, everyone took a deep breath and a determined light flashed in their eyes.

When Lin Beixuan arrived at the city gate, he found that the already dilapidated city gate of Pingyang County had been completely blown up, and two figures were running towards this side at a rapid speed, obviously trying to enter the city.

Behind them and on both sides, there were several gluttons and dozens of starving ghost minions chasing them in a hunting posture.

Lin Beixuan looked carefully and found that among the two figures, the short and strong man was carrying on his shoulders the thing he was worried about.

The instrument of equality for all beings!
From the very beginning when he visited the communication groups between the two worlds, he knew that some people were engaged in cross-border transportation of supplies.

To put it nicely, it is called escorting, but in reality it means smuggling things from the secular world and selling them in the real world.

Because many objects in the secular world have years, they are all antiques in the modern world. This is what the second master of the Liu family, Malu, did. He traded antiques from the secular world back and forth, and finally exchanged them for valuable antiques in the modern world.

What he never expected was that this group of people could even get their hands on RPGs and send them to the secular world.

You have to know that this thing is not comparable to the crude and simple firearms used by the South Asians in the secular world.
