Genshin Impact: Report to the Emperor! Xiao Shen is creating people again

Shen Qianluo would naturally not succumb to Gui Zhong's threat which had no deterrent effect at all.

So he lowered his hood, let Tongque carry him off the roof, and went back to eat obediently.

"I thought that Master Qianluo would rather sit on the eaves and wait for Master Emperor to return from the battle than come back to be well fed and well served by me."

"How could it be? With such a beautiful scenery and fairies as company, it is certainly a happy thing in life." After packing his luggage, Shen Qianluo walked leisurely on the road, following Guizhong to investigate the people's sentiments in the flood-stricken areas. "But, since you are so eager to take me with you, I guess things won't be that simple, right?"

Gui Zhongsheng's body froze. "No, no, Lord Jiu Touniu, don't talk nonsense. It's just that there have been rumors of ghosts in the flood-stricken area recently... Of course, ghosts and gods are all illusions. I don't know why there are always people who are willing to make up weird things and talk nonsense. Isn't it just scaring people for no reason?"

"So you're afraid of ghosts?" Shen Qianluo nodded, "But the sea beast that lured people into jumping into the sea back then was indeed caused by a sea monster. Maybe now..."

Before he finished speaking, he met a pair of eyes deep in the bushes.

Shen Qianluo:?

“…It’s indeed haunted.” He added calmly, pointing to the bushes, “Look, that’s it.”

"Wow! Where is it? No, no, don't come over here!" Gui Zhong jumped up in fright and hurriedly raised the dust again.

Fortunately, Shen Qianluo grabbed him in time. The young man was very nervous and said, "No, Master Ba Touniu, if you act recklessly like this, you will disturb the ghosts!"

"What should I do?" Gui Zhong opened his panicked eyes, but caught a glimpse of the young man's unconcealed smile, "Well, Lord Qianluo is trying to scare me for fun."

"No, I did see a pair of eyes in the bushes just now." Shen Qianluo showed a thoughtful expression, slowly and carefully bent down, and in Guizhong's momentary nervous expression, he pushed aside the bushes with one hand, "It disappeared."

He said this in a casual manner, and turned to look at the girl: "Can you tell me more about the ghost story you mentioned?"

·

"So that's how it is. I heard a slight noise coming from outside the door late at night, and when I opened the door in the morning, I found bloody and unknown flesh piled at the door?"

“…No matter how you think about it, it’s all the work of ghosts, right?” After hearing Shen Qianluo’s summary, Gui Zhong couldn’t help but tremble.

Shen Qianluo pinched his chin thoughtfully: "If there are rumors, there must be people who spread the rumors. Let's go and do a little investigation."

"Are you really going?"

"Hmm? Are you scared?"

"Of course not. Our people are in panic. As demon gods, how can we just sit there and watch?"

·

Regardless of whether Guizhong was pretending or not, Shen Qianluo dragged her to find the family that was visited by the "ghost".

"Master Xiaoshen, Master Chenshen, you must be careful! That ghost has a very strange temperament. It sends strange meat to this old man every day. It does this every day without interruption. We all guess that this is a threat from the ghost!"

"Is it human flesh?" Shen Qianluo said wildly.

"Human flesh!?" Gui Zhong was so frightened that his body froze.

But the culprit beside him didn't look scared at all. Instead, he analyzed the situation seriously and seemed extremely calm, even scary enough, with a bit of interest and excitement.

"The ghost sent a steady stream of flesh and blood to the door. The meat was fresh and its origin was unknown. The first thing that came to mind was that it had killed someone. However, it was not satisfied with the simple killing and began to make silent threats, forcing the family to collapse physically and mentally."

"Let me think for a moment. The purpose of doing this... I think it is determined to torture humans with the deepest fear, step by step..."

Gui Zhong interrupted him as the people around him were getting more and more terrified: "Master Qianluo, please stop scaring people on purpose. We still have to investigate the truth carefully!"

Shen Qianluo nodded seriously: "Yes, the meat is delivered every day. If my guess is correct, more than one person has been killed. We just need to investigate..."

He was finally packed up and dragged away.

Unfortunately, the results of the investigation do not seem to be satisfactory.

The old man living here lost his son at an early age and has no relatives. He lives alone in a corner courtyard. If a neighbor had not passed by by chance, discovered the blood and flesh placed at the door and spread the matter, the old man would probably have been frightened alone and regretted every day for the evil things he had done in his life.

He was a kind and unsociable person throughout his life, and there was indeed no act of malicious revenge against his enemies.

The thread is broken.

Squatting in the yard and teasing the cats and dogs, Shen Qianluo seemed to be thinking: "Tell me, why is the strange meat not eaten by the small animals?"

"He must be afraid of the power of ghosts, right? The ghost has targeted the old man, we have to think of a way." Gui Zhong, who was afraid of ghosts but believed in ghosts and gods, had begun to believe in Shen Qianluo's previous nonsense.

"That may not be the case. Unfortunately, the strange meat has been buried and destroyed by the old man, and we have no way of knowing whether it is human flesh. So..." Shen Qianluo began to object to her, and then turned his head solemnly, looking Guizhong up and down deeply for a moment.

Gui Zhong felt terrified by his gaze, and took a step back while protecting his chest: "Lord Qian Luo?"

Shen Qianluo smiled and said, "Since the strange meat appears every day, wouldn't it be a good idea for you and me to squat at the old man's door tonight and wait for the 'ghost' to come late at night?"
