Chapter 186 I Was Once a Sincere Boy
Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute.
"What's going on? Why can't I get through to Zhang Yang and the others on the phone?"
Liu Ziqiang, the team leader of Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute, looked a little unhappy when he heard the busy tone on his cell phone. He sent Zhang Yang and his team to cooperate with Consultant Yi, but now the call could not be reached.
"Call Yi Tian." Fan Chengzu ordered Liu Ziqiang.
"Okay, I'll call Consultant Yi right now."
Liu Ziqiang was about to make a new call, but the next moment, the lights in the room suddenly shook, the light began to sway, and there was a crackling sound of electricity.
"What's going on?"
Liu Ziqiang was very confused. Is this due to unstable voltage?
Bang!
The next moment, the lights went out and the whole room fell into darkness.
A gust of cold wind blew through the room. Liu Ziqiang was unable to open his eyes because of the cold wind. He shouted, "What kind of ghost dares to come to the appraisal institute and cause trouble?"
As the team leader of the appraisal institute, Liu Ziqiang naturally would not think that this was just the result of unstable voltage and wind. How could it be such a coincidence? It must be that a ghost had entered their appraisal institute.
call out!
The next moment, a golden light appeared, followed by a scream, and then the lights in the room came on again. Fan Chengzu was holding a bronze mirror in his hand, and the golden light was emitted from that bronze mirror.
Only then did Liu Ziqiang notice that there was a female ghost in white standing at the door. Her long hair was scattered and covered her face. She exuded a cold aura, and the cold wind in the whole room was coming from her.
"What a bold female ghost, she dared to come to the appraisal institute to cause trouble!"
Liu Ziqiang was so angry that he laughed. Since the establishment of Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute, no ghost has ever dared to run to the appraisal institute to cause trouble. If this were to get out, their Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute would be laughed at by other brother cities.
"Teacher Fan, do you still remember me?"
The female ghost ignored Liu Ziqiang, but slowly pulled her hair aside with her hands, revealing a pretty face, and stared at Fan Chengzu.
"Xu Qian, I was lenient with you because you jumped off a building to commit suicide because of love, so I just sealed you. I didn't expect that you would not only not repent, but now that you are out of trouble, you are even worse. It seems that I was wrong at the beginning."
Fan Chengzu shook his head. When Liu Ziqiang heard this, he was stunned. This female ghost was the one that Consultant Yi and his team went to deal with. If this female ghost appeared here, where were Consultant Yi and his team members?
"You female ghost, what did you do to Consultant Yi and my team members?"
"Want to know?"
Xu Qian looked at Liu Ziqiang grimly, "If you want to know, just ask him. He was the one who sealed me in the teaching building. Oh no, he was the one who caused me to jump off the building and commit suicide."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you ghost girl? Consultant Fan showed you some leniency and didn't kill you. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you're blaming Consultant Fan."
Liu Ziqiang felt that this female ghost was a little ungrateful, but Xu Qian smiled and laughed out loud.
"Grateful? My beloved teacher Fan gave me psychological counseling, and then I jumped off the building. Teacher Fan, do you think this was your contribution?"
The moment Xu Qian saw Fan Chengzu, many memories came back to her. She remembered how uncomfortable she felt when facing the pointing and criticizing from her classmates, so she decided to seek psychological counseling from the school's psychologist.
When she walked into the psychological counseling room that day, the person she met was Teacher Fan. Then she left the psychological counseling room and returned to the dormitory. After leaving a suicide note, she went to the teaching building and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Liu Ziqiang looked at Fan Chengzu with a somewhat strange look. Has Consultant Fan also worked as a psychological counselor in college?
"It's normal for me to be a teacher in school. I just want to gain experience in the secular world. The cultivation of extraordinary people is not completely detached from the secular world. The reason why I kept you back then was because I felt that my psychological counseling could not save your life, and I felt guilty."
Fan Chengzu spoke, and this explanation can be said to be perfect.
"Did you hear that? Consultant Fan only went easy on you because he felt that he couldn't save you." Liu Ziqiang scolded, "Tell me quickly, what did you do to Consultant Yi and the others?"
"Well, of course we're going to send them to where they should go."
Xu Qian didn't believe what Fan Chengzu said, but when Fan Chengzu heard what Xu Qian said, he sighed and said, "My kindness back then has led to a disaster. I can't let you stay today."
Fan Chengzu shook the bronze mirror in his hand, and a golden light enveloped Xu Qian. Enshrouded by the golden light, Xu Qian's expression gradually became ferocious, and black resentment began to emanate from her body. As soon as the resentment emerged, it was melted by the golden light.
This scene caught Fan Chengzu's eye, and made him feel a little painful, but the next moment he put the bronze mirror away.
The bronze mirror was put away, the golden light dissipated, Xu Qian fell to the ground, and her figure had become very faint.
"Team Leader Liu, this female ghost has harmed many people. I will take her away."
Fan Chengzu's words made Liu Ziqiang stunned. According to what the female ghost said, she killed so many members of the appraisal institute and Consultant Yi. Shouldn't she be killed directly? Why was she taken away?
In an instant, Liu Ziqiang thought of what the female ghost had said before. The last person the female ghost saw before jumping off the building was Consultant Fan. When the school was haunted, it was he and Consultant Fan who solved it. Even if Consultant Fan really had mercy on the female ghost, he should have sent her to the underworld instead of sealing her there.
"Why, what do you think, Team Leader Liu?"
Fan Chengzu raised his old eyelids and looked at Liu Ziqiang meaningfully. Liu Ziqiang quickly said, "Everything is up to Consultant Fan."
For Liu Ziqiang, no matter what role Consultant Fan played in this matter, what he had to ensure was that Yuzhang Appraisal Institute remained the leading institution in the entire province.
To maintain this position, we cannot do without the support of Consultant Fan.
In the entire Gan Province, only Yuzhang City has two consultants, one is Consultant Fan, and the other is Consultant Yi, Fan's apprentice. Now that Consultant Yi has gotten into trouble, Consultant Fan must not get into trouble again.
Fan Chengzu was not surprised by Liu Ziqiang's answer. He stood up and walked towards Xu Qian holding the bronze mirror. However, just as he reached Xu Qian and was about to seal Xu Qian into the bronze mirror, a sneer suddenly sounded in the room.
"You are in cahoots with each other, working together as a team. I gave you the last chance but you couldn't seize it."
As the voice was heard, Fan Chengzu suddenly stepped back, and the bronze mirror in his hand shattered, with the broken mirror surface scattered all over the ground.
At the door, Lin Ye's figure appeared there.
"You... who are you?"
Liu Ziqiang looked at Lin Ye who appeared at the door in horror. He knew the power of Consultant Fan's bronze mirror. It was obtained by chance when Consultant Fan entered a sealed land when he was young. The sealed land was very dangerous. Six strange people entered it at that time, and only Consultant Fan survived and brought out this bronze mirror.
It was with the help of this bronze mirror that Consultant Fan became a leader among the extraordinary people in the entire Gan Province. This bronze mirror could identify demons and monsters. As long as the bronze mirror shines on a place, the demons and monsters will have nowhere to hide, and their strength will also be restricted.
Weaker ghosts would be shattered to pieces when illuminated by the bronze mirror.
Consultant Fan regarded this bronze mirror as more precious than his own life, but now it was broken.
Fan Chengzu held the broken frame of the bronze mirror, and his expression became very ferocious at this moment. He had paid a heavy price to obtain this bronze mirror, and now it was broken into pieces.
He wished he could skin the young man alive.
But he knew better that this bronze mirror was not an ordinary thing. It was already a magical weapon. The fact that he was able to shatter the bronze mirror without him noticing meant that the strength of the young man in front of him was unfathomable.
"You...you are Lin Yelin, the consultant of Raocheng?"
At such a young age, with unfathomable strength, and happening to be in Gan Province, that person was the first person that Fan Chengzu thought of.
"It's me."
Lin Ye did not deny it, and when Fan Chengzu heard Lin Ye's admission, his pupils shrank, but Liu Ziqiang on the side looked very excited.
Consultant Rao Chenglin is the most influential figure in the entire appraisal institute and consulting circle recently, no doubt about it.
Ordinary team members didn't know, but they, the team leaders and consultants, already knew what Consultant Lin had done. Each one of them could cause a sensation if taken alone, not to mention that so many of them were done by one person.
The Xu family, which had been entrenched in Ice City for many years, was destroyed overnight because of Consultant Lin. Even those arrogant and domineering ghost businessmen became much more honest because of Consultant Lin.
To be honest, as the team leader of Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute, he has been under a lot of pressure recently. This pressure comes from Consultant Lin. With Consultant Lin's ability, I am afraid that when people mention Gan Province in the future, they will only know Raocheng but not Yuzhang.
"Advisor Lin, what do you mean?" Liu Ziqiang asked.
"What do you mean?" Lin Ye sneered: "Why bother trying to cover up your mistake? When you just handed everything over to Consultant Fan to decide, didn't you know what the result would be?"
As for the Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute, the reason why Lin Ye did not show up at the first moment was to give the appraisal institute a chance. If the appraisal institute had not colluded with Consultant Fan, it would mean that the roots of the appraisal institute were not rotten. But unfortunately, Liu Ziqiang did not seize this opportunity.
This was also a test of Fan Chengzu. Everything before was just his guess. Although he thought this guess was almost right, it had not been confirmed. Under such circumstances, Fan Chengzu still wanted to collect Xu Qian's soul. In addition, Xu Qian's memory had been restored, and Fan Chengzu was also Xu Qian's psychological counselor before she committed suicide. All of this had been confirmed.
"Do you want me to confess and then take action, or do you want me to take action directly?"
Fan Chengzu listened to Lin Ye's words, his old face twitched, and he said: "You are too arrogant, listening to the words of a female ghost. Even if this matter is reported to the headquarters, I will have something to say."
"Yes, Consultant Lin, there may be some misunderstanding here. Ghosts always tell lies, so you must not be fooled by them." Liu Ziqiang also echoed.
"You don't have that chance."
Lin Ye looked at Fan Chengzu, his eyes sank, and the next moment he disappeared from the spot. The moment Lin Ye's voice fell, Fan Chengzu was on full alert. At the same time when Lin Ye's figure disappeared, a handful of copper coins shot out from his hand, and he quickly retreated backwards.
run!
Fan Chengzu knew very well that he was no match for Lin Ye. If the bronze mirror was there, he could still give it a try, but now the bronze mirror was destroyed. With Lin Ye's record, he was definitely no match for the other party.
"It's not that easy to run away."
A ridiculing sound suddenly came to his ears, and Fan Chengzu trembled all over. Without even turning his head to look, he directly threw a yellow talisman to the left.
boom!
The yellow talisman exploded and turned into a fireball, but there was no sign of Lin Ye over there.
Fan Chengzu's expression changed, and he swung his hand under his sleeve suddenly. A paper figure floated out from his sleeve. The paper figure was only an inch in size, but as it left Fan Chengzu's hand, it suddenly grew larger, and finally turned into an adult woman.
The female paper figure's eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened as Fan Chengzu's handprints changed, flashing red light, and the next moment it pounced to the right like a leopard.
"Even the possessed paper man is ready, do you still need to quibble?"
Lin Ye's figure appeared in front of the paper man. This paper man was the one Fan Chengzu used to control Xu Qian's ghost. However, it was not an easy task to create such a paper man that could control an evil ghost in the ghost realm. First of all, one had to know Xu Qian's birth date and then soak it in Xu Qian's blood for 49 days.
Xu Qian died by jumping off a building. Her blood is only useful within one hour after her death, which means that Fan Chengzu was at the scene when Xu Qian jumped off the building.
"As a consultant to Yuzhang, I have protected the people of Yuzhang for decades. Now there are more and more ghosts. I am refining ghost corpses to protect more people."
The moment the paper man was thrown out, Fan Chengzu knew that he could no longer conceal it, so he just spoke out directly.
"If it weren't for me, there would be no less than a hundred people in Yuzhang City harmed by ghosts and monsters, but only one Xu Qian was sacrificed. And it wasn't me who killed her, it was her own weakness that caused her to commit suicide."
Unfortunately, Fan Chengzu did not get a response from Lin Ye, because the next moment, his pupils were filled with sword light, and the next moment he fell to the ground with a bloody hole in his heart.
“The merits and demerits cannot be offset.”
At the moment he fell to the ground, Fan Chengzu heard Lin Ye's words. Hearing these words, Fan Chengzu smiled. He remembered that when he had just become a consultant, he also met a strange man who had gone astray. At that time, the other party said the same thing as he did, and his reply was similar to Lin Ye's.
Merits and demerits cannot offset each other.
Fan Chengzu's thoughts flew to fifteen years ago, when there were many ghosts in Yuzhang City, and he had not yet entered the sealed realm to obtain the bronze mirror. One day, he was patrolling in the city and found a ghost staring at a girl. After he subdued the ghost, he learned from the ghost that the girl was born with a yin fate.
People with a Yin-gathering fate are naturally prone to attracting dirty things. At the beginning, he didn't have any thoughts on it, but just began to pay attention to the girl, and even secretly helped the girl drive away several attracted ghosts.
In order to protect the girl, he worked as a psychology teacher in the university during that time. Things changed after the girl's boyfriend betrayed her.
In order to pursue her future, the girl's boyfriend chose to study abroad with the daughter of a school leader. When the girl found out, she actually had thoughts of committing suicide. At first, he was angry when he learned about the girl's thoughts. He had protected her for so long, but she actually committed suicide because of a relationship. Is such a person worth his protection?
After being angry, an evil idea was born in his mind. Since the girl wanted to commit suicide, why not help him.
People with a Yin- gathering fate can have their souls refined into ghost corpses after death. A powerful ghost corpse is enough to intimidate all the ghosts in Yuzhang City.
As soon as this idea came to his mind, it took root and sprouted like a seed, so he found the boyfriend of the school leader's daughter, Yi Tian, and asked Yi Tian to publicize the matter so that everyone in the school knew about it.
As he expected, the girl couldn't stand the gossip of others and came to him for psychological counseling. Under his verbal inducement, the girl chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
After the girl jumped off the building, the school blocked the news. In that era, Internet information was not so developed, and the incident of the girl jumping off the building was soon forgotten.
His goal was achieved. He originally planned to take the girl's ghost away, but he found that the girl was very resentful. And the building where the girl jumped happened to be a yin gathering place from the perspective of feng shui. If the girl's ghost stayed here, it would be more conducive to the accumulation of resentment.
For this reason, he chose to accept Yi Tian as his apprentice and let Yi Tian stare at the ghosts of girls in school.
Everything was fine at first, but later, due to Yi Tian's negligence, the girl's ghost killed a student.
Upon hearing the news, he hurried to the school and was about to take the girl's ghost away, but he discovered that after killing a student, the girl's ghost actually began to condense into a ghost realm.
Ghostland.
Ordinary evil ghosts do not have it. Only ghost kings or evil ghosts with the potential to become ghost kings can have it.
His mind changed again. A ghost corpse with the ghost domain was enough to make him one of the top few in the entire alien circle.
Anyway, the girls were killed by unfaithful scumbags.
He comforted himself in this way, and in the following years, the girl killed one person every year, until she killed nine people and the prototype of the ghost domain was formed, he sealed the girl's ghost in the campus.
Just wait... wait until the moment when the ghost domain is completely formed, that will be the time for him to reap the rewards.
…
Thinking back on it all, Fan Chengzu laughed. One wrong step leads to all the wrong steps.
An evil path is like an abyss. When you think you can see the end of the road soon, you have already reached the depths of the abyss. It is too late to extricate yourself. Once you fall, there is no way back.
Back then, he was also a passionate young man with a sincere heart who wanted to protect the lives of the people of the world.
"Thank you, Master, for avenging me."
Xu Qian, who was lying on the ground, saw Fan Chengzu who had died, and expressed her gratitude to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye turned around and looked at Xu Qian, his expression calm: "You killed nine innocent people, this crime is also unforgivable."
