Chapter 48

The Wang family case was clearly not something an ordinary person could have done; behind this, the existence of a ghost was inevitably involved.

It is a pity that the Ghost Suppression Bureau has limited manpower available right now, so they can only arrange for people to seal off the area first.

As for the investigation and the search for the culprit, the Silver-Badge Divine Catcher assigned today did not gain much.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Yanbing composed herself and then put away the Underworld Earth Ceramic Bowl.

There were not three of these items, but since one could be found, there must be others in other places; she just needed to keep collecting.

The sky grew dim, and the night deepened.

Because of the Wang family incident during the day, a curfew was implemented in Luohe City after nightfall.

The brothels and theaters that were usually the most lively at night were pitch black tonight, and the streets and alleys were silent, with only the constant sound of the patrolling soldiers' armor clashing.

The Incense Temple personnel who entered the city during the day were busy in an old shop at this time; unlike other factions, the Incense Temple has always been famous for raising ghosts, worshipping gods, and exorcising evil.

Incense maker Song Renjie sat upright in front of the workbench, kneading incense clay with one hand and holding a bamboo stick in the other, then silently rolled them together on the workbench.

The way of incense making, like traditional Chinese medicine, has deep principles; the difference between one incense and another is determined from the very beginning.

At this moment, what Song Renjie was making was the rare Soul-Attracting Incense of the Incense Temple; as long as this thing is lit, ghosts within a radius of several miles will be attracted and gather toward the Soul-Attracting Incense.

"Dog Erwa, take this incense to the west side and light it."

"Yes! Master!"

"Donkey Egg, take these few sticks of incense to the alley in the east and light them."

"Alright, Master!"

"Don't run around after you leave; there's a big event happening in Luohe City tonight, we just need to add some fuel to the fire..."

Seeing his two disciples excitedly take the incense he had prepared and leave, he couldn't help but give a reminder.

"Got it, Master!"

The two disciples, only ten years old or so, held the incense in their hands and replied, then ran out the back door of the shop as if they were playing a fun game.

In fact, delivering incense is also full of danger for these disciples, as they are dealing with ghosts after all.

It's just that these two disciples have seen the big world in the ancient town of the Incense Temple, so delivering a few sticks of Soul-Attracting Incense to a designated location was a piece of cake.

On the other side, Wang Xuanji, full of deathly aura and covered in corpse spots, appeared in the Wang family courtyard again; when the Silver-Badge Divine Catchers from the Ghost Suppression Bureau came during the day, they hadn't discovered where he was hiding at all.

"Ghost Suppression Bureau, hehe, a few mere greenhorns want to capture this old man?"

"Calculating the time, the corpses of those bastards from the Wang family should be in the Ghost Suppression Bureau office by now; tonight, this old man will definitely make you pay in blood!"

The core members of the Wang family were all Ghost Controllers, so the Ghost Suppression Bureau naturally could not just place their corpses randomly.

At this time, those corpses had basically been brought to the Ghost Suppression Bureau office, but no one knew that Wang Xuanji had tampered with those corpses.

At the same time, Li Yanbing and Li Songcheng arrived at Xinglong Ling and Qianyuan Mountain again to pay a visit to Lin Feng.

Looking at the two hundred sticks of Ghost-Raising Incense sent by the other party through the wooden figure, even Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh that the Ghost Suppression Bureau truly has a large foundation.

It hasn't been long, and they've already found so much Ghost-Raising Incense; I'm afraid it won't take long for the other items either.

"Senior, here is another Underworld Earth Ceramic Bowl; additionally, the location of the hundred-year-old Yin-Sinking Wood has been found, but the quantity is still insufficient to make a coffin."

Watching the wooden figure accept the Ghost-Raising Incense, Li Yanbing breathed a sigh of relief; this meant she had already obtained two opportunities for the other party to take action!

Of course, to show her attitude and sincerity, Li Yanbing also took out the Underworld Earth Ceramic Bowl she had obtained and spoke about the status of the other items.

"Click, click."

The wooden figure nodded in response, though Lin Feng behind the scenes was clicking his tongue; this Ghost Suppression Bureau is indeed efficient.

"By the way, Senior, I wonder if there are any other means of contact besides finding you here, after all, sometimes the situation is urgent..."

Seeing the wooden figure nod, Li Yanbing immediately asked him.

Having gone to such great lengths, she didn't want to see everything fall apart due to other factors.

"Click, click."

The wooden figure habitually raised its wooden arm, but halfway through, it realized that this action was meaningless, so it had to put it down.

Hearing her say this, Lin Feng also began to ponder; his current means of contacting others are still relatively singular, and using the wooden figure is already considered quite good.

"Try making a few smaller wooden figures?"

"Anyway, they are only used to transmit messages; hmm, if they can carry the wooden figure on them, I can also use the Ghost Blood mark to move over at any time."

After thinking about it, Lin Feng directly picked up some wood in the room and casually made a few crude little wooden figures; these wooden figures themselves were neither refined nor anything special.

At most, they would only allow him to attach ghostly power to them, but that was already enough.

After making them, the powers of the Puppet Ghost and the Embroidery Ghost were attached to them one after another, and the crude little wooden figures instantly turned into some kind of sinister and terrifying props.

Then, Lin Feng casually threw them into the pool of filthy blood at his feet; on the other side, Li Yanbing watched the wooden figure standing blankly in place and didn't dare to urge it, waiting silently.

Soon, a patch of filthy blood appeared at the feet of the wooden figure, and two little wooden figures, like toys, appeared quietly.

"Senior, are you asking me to take these?"

"Click, click."

The wooden figure nodded in response to her words, then returned directly to its original spot and began to bury itself.

As for the items Li Yanbing had just handed to the wooden figure, they were taken away directly by the filthy blood and delivered to Lin Feng's hands; the whole process of using ghostly power was simply effortless.

Li Yanbing took a deep breath as she looked at the two wooden dolls on the ground, then picked them up and put them away with great care.

These represented two opportunities for the other party to take action; she couldn't be too careful.

Taking the items, Li Yanbing bowed toward the mountaintop and then left directly using her Ghost Domain; anyone with eyes could see that the atmosphere in Luohe City tonight was not right.

As a Gold-Badge Divine Catcher of the Ghost Suppression Bureau, she was naturally even more aware of this; if it weren't for visiting Lin Feng, she would never have left the Ghost Suppression Bureau so easily.

On the other side, in the wooden house, Lin Feng started working immediately after receiving the items sent by Li Yanbing.

"Two hundred sticks of Ghost-Raising Incense! Tsk tsk, this is incredible; it's enough for me to use for a long time!"

"And this, the Underworld Earth Ceramic Bowl; hmm, it seems it can be directly collected into the Corpse-Seeding and Ghost-Raising Scripture."

As Lin Feng's thought moved, the Theater Ghost appeared quietly, and the Underworld Earth Ceramic Bowl was handed to it by Lin Feng; when it disappeared again, a worn-out ceramic bowl suddenly appeared on the Theater Ghost's page in the Corpse-Seeding and Ghost-Raising Scripture.

This ceramic bowl was placed in front of the Theater Ghost, belonging to the funerary objects used only for worshipping the dead.

In the dark, Lin Feng could feel the use of the ceramic bowl; in the future, the offerings for the Theater Ghost would be placed in this ceramic bowl.

"The most basic sacrificial ritual is essentially fusion, not digestion, which is why it presents various characteristics."

"But after being converted by these ceramic bowls, it will become the most fundamental power of the Theater Ghost, rather than just a random, forced fusion... but two more Underworld Earth Ceramic Bowls are needed to truly be effective."
