Godslayer: A random filename extension?

"Big brother, are you the Human Emperor?"

While everyone was chatting, a little girl suddenly ran over from a distance and grabbed Lin Linhou's trouser leg.

Her sudden, silent approach and voice startled Fifth Star Bell, who was standing nearby.

But when she saw the little girl's dirty, tattered clothes, numerous wounds on her arms and legs, and her innocent face, Fifth Star Bell's fear was quickly dispelled, replaced by a deep sense of pity.

What an adorable little girl! How did she end up here?

Moreover, this appearance clearly suggests that the person was in the moment of death.

"Little sister, I'm not the Emperor. What's your name? How old are you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Linhou squatted down and patted the other's little head.

Along the way, it seems that only ghosts who look very young do not kneel down under the intimidation of the Xuanyuan Sword. Even if they do, they are mostly pulled into bowing by nearby ghosts.

"I... I forgot my name. As for my age, my parents said I'm 107 years old this year."

Lin Linhou: ...107...

('?')...

Alright, Grandma, what brings you here?

"I'm asking, little sister, how old were you when you were born?"

What is meant by "before death"?

Lin Linhou: emmm...

So, it seems the ghosts here really do have their minds frozen at the moment of death? Now he was even more certain of this.

"That's the age you were when you moved here, little sister."

"I have no home. I only remember that in my original home, my parents held me tightly, and suddenly we were here. And then we started wandering around here. Brother, are you asking how old I was when I arrived here?"

Lin Linhou nodded.

I thought the girl must have died in an earthquake, the kind where the whole family was buried.

The little girl then answered that she was 6 years old at the time.

As for the reason why the other party came here.

“Mom and Dad have been saying it’s cold lately. Sometimes Mom is so cold she can’t open her eyes. Brother, it’s warm here. Dad says you’re the Emperor with the sword, a very powerful person. But Dad won’t let Mom, who’s sleeping cold, come near you.”

So in the little girl's logic, since she couldn't bring her mother, she decided to ask if she could bring the "sun" with her so that her parents wouldn't be cold.

As she spoke, the little girl pointed to a corner in the distance. When Lin Linhou looked over, there was indeed a man, or rather, a male ghost, frantically kowtowing in their direction.

The fluctuations in the other party's soul conveyed the message that they had accidentally let their daughter run over, and if she had offended them in any way, they begged Lin Linhou not to blame them.

"Linhou, why don't we go take a look?"

"Oh? Xingling, you're not afraid of ghosts anymore?"

"Of course I'm scared, I'm terrified, but this little girl looks so pitiful."

"She's 107 years old..."

Despite his words, Lin Linhou still took the little girl's hand and led everyone slowly to her parents.

Compared to the little girl, the male and female ghosts in front of them looked much more miserable. The man had a large gash on his temple, and the woman had a hole in her waist. Both were real, fatal wounds.

Judging from his clothes, he must have come from a wealthy family in life, but unfortunately he was forced to wander the streets of Fengdu for over a hundred years after his death.

"Your Majesty! My daughter is ignorant and it is all my fault for not disciplining her properly. You are a magnanimous person, so please punish me if I have offended you. Daughter, come here quickly."

Lin Linhou: Um... this is a really novel way to address someone.

ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

However, the little girl was clearly not the obedient type. Not only did she not let go, but she also shook Lin Linhou's arm and pleaded with her head up, asking if there was any way to save her mother.

It's a pity. Killing someone and sending them to hell, or making their soul disappear, is Lin Linhou's specialty.

But to be honest, saving ghosts isn't really his area of ​​expertise.

At this moment, Lin Linhou searched through the skill bar but couldn't find the skill "Exorcise the Souls of the Dead" or any other related skills.

"Little sisters, your brother really wants to save you, but unfortunately I... um?!"

(ノ°o°)ノ

Before he could finish speaking, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand suddenly shone brightly! It flew out of his hand and into the sky above Fengdu.

Then, as if transforming into a blazing sun, it cast countless warm rays of light onto the brows of one ghost after another.

The ghosts chosen by the light also emitted light and flew into the sky, then disappeared into Fengdu City.

"Holy crap, what did you do, brother?"

The lighting in Fengdu is too dim, how about building a mini sun for it?

At this very moment, countless ghosts in Fengdu City knelt in submission, begging for the light to descend upon them.

"I don't know either, the sword in my hand suddenly flew up and became a light bulb."

[What light bulb? It's used to help the souls of the deceased find peace in the afterlife.]

"Huh? The Xuanyuan Sword has this function?"

[Generally speaking, no, but it can use another method to guide some of the lost souls within Fengdu...]

Simply put, it is "taking away people," which means taking away the souls of those who have accumulated merit in their previous lives and are eligible for reincarnation, and sending them through a special channel without going through the scrutiny of ghost soldiers and spirits, directly into the six realms of reincarnation.

This is the authority belonging to the human emperor.

The reason it only flew out now is because the Xuanyuan Sword just received a "prayer" from the little female ghost.

Lin Linhou, the owner of the Xuanyuan Sword, also responded to this belief.

With the rules within the Xuanyuan Sword authorized and the Emperor of Fengdu absent, the process naturally began automatically without anyone to suppress it.

"I see. That must be a good thing."

[Yes, that's a good thing, but Lin Hou, your true form might be weak for a long time.]

Lin Linhou: ...

At this moment, Lin Linhou himself, who was lecturing to a group of students including Xingling and Hongyan at the university, did feel dizzy, even after adding all his free attribute points to his mana bar.

He managed to avoid fainting to the ground by holding onto the podium.

Fifth Star Bell and Red Beauty, who were in the front row, quickly stepped forward to help her.

"Excuse me, students, perhaps because I didn't eat breakfast and have low blood sugar, you will all study on your own during this class while our teacher, Fu Linhou, goes to the infirmary."

After finishing her sentence, Fifth Star Bell and Hong Yan helped Lin Linhou leave the classroom.

Only the students with varying expressions remained.

Low blood sugar? Didn't eat breakfast?

Are you kidding me? Although Mr. Lin Linhou may look a bit like a weak scholar, he recently outshone many athletic students and physical education teachers in various competitions on the playground.

"Hey~hey~I bet the two senior students really drained the teacher last night, right?"

"Hehe~ What a coincidence, I also think that's more likely. I really envy the teacher, being able to enjoy the blessings of having two wives so openly and legitimately."

"What's there to envy? If you work hard, you can do it too. You only need to be 18 years old to complete your doctoral degree with perfect scores in all subjects, save millions of people, and at the same time become a university professor and make it onto the list of richest people in Xia Country. In addition, you are talented and good-looking, and you are good at both literature and martial arts."

"Yes, if we had that kind of blessing, I think 'having multiple wives' is too modest. If it were me, I would marry at least eight wives, as long as we don't get married."

"Yes, Teacher Lin is far too modest."

"Yeah, he's only dated two, he's so devoted. Do you guys think I have a chance?"

"You've got no chance at all, but I think I can."

"Go away, I don't think you have any chance at all."

A few minutes later... the conversation between boys and girls gradually drifted apart, with only a very small number of groups:

"Brothers, I don't think society should be like this..."

"Okay, I support you. Go for it! I'm going to join the army next year anyway, and I'll definitely volunteer to help you get insurance."

"Go to hell! You unfilial son! I'll kill you right now!"

……

After the teacher leaves, self-study is out of the question; the students will only engage in various gossip and discussions.
