Chapter 217: 3 Days of City Patrol, The Chasm
Chapter 217: Three Days of City Patrol, The Chasm
After listening to Su Ming's words, Master Nian still felt uneasy. He expressed his opinion: "If I were the old city lord, I would arrange everything before I died and would never leave such a big hidden danger."
"Even if there are many ghosts with similar strength, the old city lord is the most powerful one after all. In this case, no matter which side the old city lord supports, that side will have an absolute advantage."
Su Ming shook his head: "Some things can't be arranged just because you want to."
"You know, the symbol of the Gray City Lord's status is the City Lord's Seal. After the old City Lord hands over the Seal to the new City Lord, the new City Lord needs to spend three days patrolling the nine streets of Gray City. Only after completing the three-day patrol can he truly master the Seal and secure his position as City Lord."
"When the time comes, we will have the opportunity to take action."
Nian Ye was shocked: "So there is such a saying? I originally thought that this was just a matter of pomp and circumstance, but I didn't expect that it was actually a necessary process!"
Su Ming: "It is because the three-day patrol is the weakest time for the city lord, so this is a secret that only the city lord of Gray City and the city lord's successor can know."
Nian Ye: "If that's the case, then how did you know this information?"
This kind of top-secret information that has been passed down by word of mouth was actually spoken casually by a living person in front of him. It really makes Ghost terrified when he thinks about it carefully!
Su Ming: "The secret cannot be revealed."
"As an old man next to Caimougui, you should have other channels to express your opinions besides the newsstand, right?"
Master Nian: "Are you planning to let me reveal the three-day city patrol?"
Su Ming: "No, what you need to do now is to spread panic and create all kinds of true and false rumors."
"For example, the Wealth Ghost and the Wealth Ghost have a grudge. If the Wealth Ghost is chosen as the next city lord, then the Wealth Ghost will be finished, given his vindictive nature. Ghosts who are close to the Wealth Ghost will also be in trouble..."
"Besides that, you can also make a big fuss about the death of the money ghost and the fortune ghost, for example, put the blame on another ghost and portray him as an ambitious ghost..."
"You should be pretty good at this kind of thing happening, right? You should know what to do without me telling you in detail."
Let's muddy the waters in Gray City first. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, it won't be so easy to remove them.
The deaths of the wealth ghost and the money ghost are shown here, which shows that even ghosts from the same wealth ghost family can fight to the death.
This is a living example!
Nian Ye nodded: "I understand, I will do as you say."
When it comes to this kind of thing, Uncle Nian can indeed be said to be familiar with it.
He had helped Caimougui do this many times before to eliminate competitors.
Nowadays, many conflicts between ghosts are caused by money-seeking ghosts.
If there were no Caimou Ghost, the relationship between the Caigui family members would definitely be many times more harmonious than it is now.
Master Nian could sense that the Caigui family was now facing external and internal troubles. Externally, there was the half-ghost organization led by the Miracle Master, eyeing the family covetously. Internally, the old city lord was about to die, but the suitable heir had died suddenly, and the remaining heirs had conflicts. No matter who took over, it would be unsuitable.
This is really a very dangerous moment for the Caigui family.
As a ghost from the Wealthy Ghost Family, Mr. Nian should have stood up and exposed the conspiracy of the Miracle Master, even if it would anger the old city lord and lead to his own death.
But unfortunately, Mr. Nian has always been a ghost who cherishes his life. Compared with the overall interests of the family, he is more concerned about his own gains and losses and cannot make such selfless contributions.
On the contrary, he is still looking forward to it. If only the miracle workers could really succeed and successfully overthrow the rule of the Caigui family.
Master Nian smiled at the other ghosts of the Half Ghost Organization and said, "Now, we really have to fight side by side. I wish us all the best, and that we can replace the Wealthy Ghost Family and take charge of Gray City as soon as possible."
Uncle Monkey said sarcastically: "Your role change is really quick."
Mr. Nian smiled without changing his expression: "Thank you! Thank you! I have always had a good attitude."
…………
Outside the Gray City, in a wilderness.
The ground was covered with gray-black weeds, which continuously emitted an ominous black aura.
This place is a desolate place. Not only is it difficult for living people to survive here, even ghosts and monsters cannot survive for long.
It should be said that this is the case for most places outside Gray City. Only with the help of transportation can you travel here.
In front of the wilderness was a vast chasm shrouded in black fog, with no bottom in sight.
A bus came roaring from a distance, with no intention of slowing down, and rushed straight into the gap.
All that was left were two deep ruts left by the tires running over the black and gray weeds.
About half an hour passed.
Cars, big and small, came to this place. Two of the small cars were driving too fast and they didn't have time to brake, so they rushed down directly.
The old city lord was so angry that he yelled, "What's wrong with those two cars? Do they know how to drive? Can't they see the ditch ahead?"
Secretary Ghost: "The drivers of those two cars were rookies. They had only driven between the streets in the city and had never been outside the city. In addition, the road conditions and visibility were poor, which led to this incident."
The old city lord's chest rose and fell, and finally he could only squeeze out a sentence from his mouth: "Tell the drivers behind to strengthen their driving training outside the city."
After saying that, he opened the car door and prepared to get out.
Secretary Ghost quickly advised: "Lord City Lord, please take care of yourself! It's a deadly place outside, you'd better not go down there in person!"
The old city lord is already very old and is close to the end of his life.
What’s more important is that the funeral arrangements have not been made yet. If the other party really dies here, it would be a disaster!
The old city lord did not listen to the secretary ghost's dissuasion and got out of the car: "Although the tiger is old, its power is still there! A mere death place can't do anything to me!"
After getting off the car, he was enveloped by a majestic black robe with various patterns, and the rolling deathly aura around him could not get close to him at all.
He personally checked the traces at the scene and concluded that the assassins fled on a bus, but the bus was going too fast and they lost control and it rushed straight down.
Just like the two cars that just rushed down.
Theoretically, this possibility does exist. After all, those assassins are not from the Wealth Ghost family and have no access to means of transportation. In terms of driving experience, it is very likely that they are not as good as the two ghosts driving the car.
Although it makes sense logically, the old city lord still doesn't want to believe that the assassins who assassinated the Fortune Ghost died so easily.
This way of dying is like a joke.
However, the chasm before him was bottomless and he had no way of going down to verify it.
Helpless, I could only go back to the car, close my eyes and think of a solution.
After a while, he asked, "You still can't get in touch with the Caimou ghost?"
Secretary Ghost: "I can't get in touch with him. I asked a few ghosts who are close to the Caimou ghost, and they all said they couldn't find him. They don't know where he went."
The old city lord was having a headache. Troubles happened one after another. First, the fortune ghost was assassinated, and when he was chased after, the murderer's body was nowhere to be found.
Now he can’t even contact Cai Mougui, his favorite candidate for city lord!
He had a bad feeling. Could it be that something bad had happened to the money-making ghost as well?
