Chapter 342: Fenwu’s reputation is 0
Chapter 342: Fenwu’s Credibility is Zero
"As far as I know, Zhao is a docile ghost." Fenwu said, exhaling lightly.
Ning Zhe nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Zhao You is indeed very gentle. The rules for seeking good fortune and avoiding danger are simple and clear. Even if you break the rules, you will not die immediately. Instead, you will be killed only after breaking the taboos at least three times in a row.
Compared with Te Ran who dies in the light, Wu Tong who forces people to buy and sell, and Blowing Lantern Ghost who bullies the weak and fears the strong... Zhao is truly harmless to humans and animals.

"Zhao disappeared from He Village on June 6 of this year. In other words, it has only been three months and a few days since you first controlled him."
Fen Wu put down his phone and said, "In such a short time, even the most violent and evil ghosts would not show their flaws so quickly, let alone the mild-mannered Zhao You."
Ning Zhe did not respond, but just listened quietly.
"However, only two months after Hejia Village, you hurried from Yunzhou to Chenyugu Prison, trying to control a new weird to make up for your shortcomings. It was Yu Ziqian's relic."
"Zhao has a gentle temperament. It is obvious that it is not him who urged you to take this action, but another ghost in you." Fen Wu observed Ning Zhe's expressionless face and asked tentatively: "Tai Yi?"
As far as Fen Wu knows, the second ghost in Yu Ziqian has the ability to make people's emotions and thoughts extreme and radical. What kind of ghost's defects need such an ability to make up for it? What are the core rules of Taiyi?
'Tai Yi' revealed too little information for him to guess.
Ning Zhe listened quietly to Fen Wu's words and did not rashly express his own opinion.
After all, who knows if this Fen Wu in front of us is really Fen Wu? Is he a puppet controlled by a remote control, or another Yan Yukuan who has been brainwashed into thinking that he is Fen Wu? There is no evidence to prove it.
Seeing Ning Zhe didn't say anything, Fenwu shook his head, seeming a little disappointed.
He went on to say, "Based on the various signs so far, I can be sure that your core rule is not Zhao You, but the wandering ghost that strayed into Hejia Village. The strange creature you later controlled in Chenyugu Prison was not used to make up for Zhao You's shortcomings, but to make up for Tai Yi."
If this is true, then this 'Taiyi' is really an extremely terrifying evil ghost. In just over two months, it has forced Ning Zhe into a desperate situation...
"What exactly do you want to say?" Ning Zhe finally spoke, but his tone was a little impatient.
"What I want to say is - you don't actually need to summon you." Fen Wu said straight to the point: "A tall building is built from the ground up. The ascenders usually start with the first kind of weirdness they master as their foundation, and then they continue to make up for the shortcomings step by step, gradually establishing a stable chain of rules that are linked together. The foundation of this system, the initial starting point, is called the 'core rule' of the ascender."
"And your core rule is not Zhaoyou, but Taiyi."
"You chose Ether as the starting point of your rule chain instead of Zhaoyou."
"So even if the gambler forcibly stripped Zhao You from you, it would not affect the balance of the rule chain in your body at all - because Zhao You has never been integrated into the rule chain you built from the beginning. He is just a wandering ghost outside the system with no support."
At this point, Fen Wu finally made his position clear: "If that's the case, why don't you hand this lonely ghost over to me?"
It's something you don't need anyway.
"Of course, I won't let you give it to me for free." Fen Wu said immediately, "In exchange, I can give you another ghost as compensation. Even if I owe you a favor, we don't need to continue to scheme against each other and fight to the death. From today on, I will go my way to advancement, and you can be the Marquis of Europe. More friends mean more paths, so why not?"
"What's the name of that ghost?" Ning Zhe asked, "What's the use?"
Seeing that Ning Zhe's attitude seemed promising, Fen Wu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "You have already met her, and you should have personally experienced her role. Her functionality is definitely not worse than Zhao You."
"That ghost is living in my daughter Baizhi, and her name is Taisu."
"Too simple..." Ning Zhe's eyes drifted slightly away, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"What do you think?" Fen Wu persuaded with a smile: "As long as you nod, she will be yours."
"Sounds good." Ning Zhe also smiled. Fen Wu was delighted to see this and said hurriedly, "That's great, then I will send you away from the opera house now? After Zhao is in my hands, I will immediately arrange for someone to send Bai Zhi to you."
"It's not like I haven't thought about accepting your kindness..." Ning Zhe shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, I don't see even a little sincerity in you to do business."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Fen Wu's eyes turned playful: "How can you tell that I have no sincerity in doing business?"
Ning Zhe raised his hand and pointed to his temple: "From here."
Fen Wu frowned and asked in confusion: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Of course you don't understand, because you are not Fen Wu." Ning Zhe took the cigarette from his hand, threw it on the ground, stepped on the cigarette butt, left the stands, and returned to the room.
Ignoring the man's questioning behind him, Ning Zhe went straight to the back of the sofa. The game was still going on at the gambling table.
"Fen Wu is a swindler. He had already received Yu Ziqian's deposit, but he still let Te Rang go to Bishuiwan Manor to kill people for him. He has no sense of contract. Doing business with him is like courting death."
"Bai Zhi... is too simple. His attitude towards the deal seems sincere, but if I take the bait, the end result will be nothing more than becoming a fish in his basket."
Ning Zhe sneered at Fenwu's credibility.
Because from beginning to end, Fenwu never mentioned the most critical and most easily overlooked issue.
"——I think there's a Taisei worm in my brain, too."
Looking back at the experience after the Bishuiwan Manor incident, after Te Rang was controlled by Feng Yusu, Yu Ziqian, who had not much time left, fell into madness in despair. In order to find Te Rang to prolong his life, he spent a huge price to invite Tu Yu's help to blockade the entire Taoyuan City, and began to indiscriminately hunt down all the survivors of the Bishuiwan Manor incident.
On the highway to Taoyuan City with Bai Zhi, Ning Zhe encountered a group of gas station employees who were ideologically influenced by Yu Ziqian and were obsessed with killing Bai Zhi.
Later, according to Feng Yusu's recollection, she also encountered many medical staff and patients' families in the hospital who went crazy and wanted to kill people as soon as they saw her.
These people have been branded with ideological stamps.
Jueyuan's rules can make people's emotions and thoughts extreme and radical, and eventually turn them into a stamp of thought that is absolutely impossible to disobey.
In other words, Jue Yuan can only make people's original ideas become extremely radical, but cannot make people have ideas that they do not originally have.
"So where did the gas station employees get the idea to 'kill Bai Zhi'?"
"Where did the medical staff in the hospital first come up with the idea of 'killing Feng Yushu'?"
Although there was still a lack of conclusive evidence, Ning Zhe already had the answer in his mind: "Fen Wu."
The original situation was the result of cooperation between Fen Wu and Yu Ziqian.
Fen Wu used his ability to modify memory to make people have ideas that did not originally belong to them. Yu Ziqian then used Jue Yuan to solidify these ideas, turning them into ideological stamps that had to be executed at all costs.
"And in the hospital in Taoyuan City, I was also branded with a mental stamp."
The content of the stamp read: [I must kill Ning Zhe].
Recalling the scene at that time, Ning Zhe's thoughts became clearer. Although he promptly switched to the identity of an ecological park security guard and took on this ideological stamp, since Yu Ziqian did so, it meant that he believed that doing so would surely lead to success.
"That is to say, from that time on, my memory has begun to be modified by Fenwu..."
