Chapter 64 Verse 22

  The red leaves brushed against the boat, going up and down, sweeping back and forth twice. The little nose sniffed, "What did you eat just now? Are you stuffed?"

  Cheng Zhou didn't know if he was stuffed or not, but he really didn't want to say that he had just "eaten" a big living thing. He had only managed to suppress the matter to the deepest part of his mind with great difficulty.

  Hong Ye didn't want to let him off, he had already seen the dry land, and looked at Cheng Zhou, saying: "Know how to use your own abilities now? Not bad, I thought you would always be useless."

  "What ability? What kind of ability?" Cheng Zhou said irritably.

  "Go back and tell them, first deal with these messy things."

  Those who were classified as being in a mess, such as Chen Yan and others, stared blankly at the red leaves, especially Chen Yan, who simply couldn't understand how such an adorable child could appear in this place in such a heaven-defying way.

  Perhaps Red Leaf is not Cheng Chou's son, but rather the most formidable little demon he has raised, just as Lei Tian said.

  Chen Yan shivered and looked at Hong Ye with a hint of fear in his eyes.

  Li Tian was delighted when he saw the red leaves, they must have a way out, and even the great masters had summoned their most powerful little ghosts.

  Things happened very quickly afterwards, so fast that Cheng Zhou didn't even have time to react.

  Situ carried his body out, He Sheng followed behind him, Li Jia Cheng did not appear.

  He was very excited when he saw him, but before he could say a word to He Sheng, he was sucked towards his own body by a strong force.

  At the same time, he inadvertently swept his eyes to the corner and saw that Red Leaf had scratched a big hole in the sky with one of her paws, and then... he temporarily lost consciousness.

  "How come he's still not awake?" A pair of small hands scratched and pinched his face.

  Cheng Zhou felt a familiar weight between his chest and abdomen, closed his eyes and reached out to touch it, only to find a small foot. The shoe on that foot was still the most expensive pair he had ever bought, with the logo on the back of the shoe standing out very clearly.

  "Red Leaf?" Cheng Zhou opened his eyes.

  Hong Ye sat across from him, chest and abdomen in between, with a look of displeasure on her face as she stared at him.

  Cheng Zhou raised his hand and retaliated by pinching his little face.

  The red leaves pounced on him and bit his neck.

  Chengzhou hugged him tightly and let him make a fuss, lying on the ground with his head raised to look at the sky.

  The stars and moon in the sky are very bright and clear, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, countless twinkling stars, and this is one of the lost beautiful scenery that can no longer be seen in the city.

  "Are they really coming out?"

  "Yes, Cheng Ge, get up, it's cold on the ground, don't catch a chill." He Sheng walked over to him and bent down to offer his hand.

  Cheng Zhou got up from the ground with one hand holding his son and the other borrowing He Sheng's strength.

  Situ Zheng and Li Tian were talking, seemingly asking him something.

  The rest all lay on the ground, unconscious.

  "Where is this? Who can explain what's going on here?" Cheng Chou put down the red leaf and looked around, asking the crowd.

  Hong Ye was dissatisfied with Cheng Chou letting him go, opening his arms to make him hug, but he wouldn't tell Cheng Chou that he liked the warmth of his embrace, which made him feel very comfortable.

  Chengzhou pretended not to see it.

  "This is Jiuhua Mountain under the valley." He Sheng replied, and immediately looked at Li Tian.

  Li Tian seemed hesitant, looking left and right, but refused to face the crowd.

  Situ smiled lightly and whispered a sentence into Lei Tian's ear, causing Lei Tian to shudder all over. He immediately lifted his head to look at Situ, "Really? If you tell us everything, we'll help..."

  Hong Ye saw that his father didn't want to hug him and was getting angry, so when Li Tian wanted to discuss conditions, he immediately walked up to him and kicked him hard. He then threatened viciously: "If you don't speak, you'll be eaten! It will take a thousand years to digest, guaranteed to be more painful than being imprisoned or having your soul scattered."

  Li Tian was so scared that his legs went soft.

  Situ gave him a push and nodded his eyes in the direction of Chengzhou.

  Li Tianhui hastily ran to Cheng Chou's side, took a stealthy glance at him and said in a hesitant tone: "The thing is...".

  Li Tian was originally a genius computer programmer who graduated from university at the age of 18, but after graduation he didn't want to work and played games all day.

  While playing an online game, he met a girl who was crazy about everything related to transmigration and rebirth, and she firmly believed that it was feasible, and even made many preparations for this.

  She also spent money to buy a domain name and set up a website about time-travel, at first the website just collected some pirated copies of time-travel novels and some necessary knowledge for time-travel. The website was not very beautiful because it was made by herself, and didn't have many functions including leaving messages inside.

  Li Tian suddenly became enthusiastic and expressed his willingness to help her make the website better. First, he added a message system to the website.

  And after this website had a message system, it also attracted some netizens with its pirated content.

  Soon after, Li Tian and Yang Xin discovered a regular customer in the comments section.

  This regular customer left messages several times saying he could help others cross over, but many thought he was joking and didn't take his words seriously. There were even some who scolded him for being brainless, and Li Tian was one of them.

  But soon, Li Tian found that he could no longer contact the girl. Just when he thought the girl had given up on the website, he received an email from her.

  The email said she had successfully crossed into another world, a world where one could cultivate Taoist magic. Before crossing over, she had negotiated with the Crossing Agency and they had entrusted her with a task; in return, she would receive a Golden Finger - allowing her to contact a specific person in the real world and obtain three items from them.

  Li Tian did not believe it at first and thought it was a phishing email.

  After Yang Xin didn't want to deal with the girl anymore, she sent him another email, saying that she wanted to exchange a soul-releasing talisman for some daily necessities such as toothpaste and toothbrush. Moreover, in order not to let Li Tian think she was a scammer, she said she could send the talisman first.

  "Then the next day when I woke up, I found an extra Taoist symbol on my pillow." Li Tian said excitedly: "Cheng Ge, think about it, if it was an ordinary person who suddenly discovered that what they thought was just a fantasy had actually become reality, how would they react?"

  Waiting for more evidence to prove... Chengzhou thinks this is being cautious, not cowardly, and definitely not self-deception!

  Then, it was discovered that when the Taoist symbol was attached, the soul could really leave the body and float around for twelve hours, which made them believe that Yang Xin had indeed traveled through time. Afterwards, from Yang Xin, they found out that the frequent visitor who left a message on the website was actually from the Time Travel Agency...

  Because Yang Xin said that those who were searching everywhere for the ones who wanted to cross over, were looking to ask them for help in collecting some things from each of their worlds for him, and it wasn't without compensation, Li Tian became even more convinced that this matter was true.

  Later, Li Tian exchanged another talisman that could curse him once and finally couldn't help it, also contacting the person in charge of the dimensional crossing.

  However, the other party did not immediately agree to his request to cross over, but instead proposed that he first help himself with some things, and it's not for free, he can pay.

  Afterwards, Li Tian's account received a large sum of money, and his email also received instructions from the other party on what to do.

  This was a simple matter for Lí Tiān, just modifying the original website according to the other party's requirements, then buying two large servers, one sent to a designated address in Chízhōu, and the other set up at Lí Tiān's home in Zǐjīn City.

  Later, Li Tian received a large sum of money again, which allowed him to create various game scenarios and a large number of dynamic images. Some had specified content, while others let him freely create. Those games were not very difficult, and the other party did not even mind if Li Tian directly downloaded existing market games onto the server.

  Due to sufficient funding, Li Tian hired a large number of assistants to help him complete the game's visuals and scene settings. Since the other party did not mind him using existing games as templates, within nearly a year, he was able to produce almost two hundred small to medium-sized games and over three thousand dynamic images for the other party.

  After doing all this, Li Tian no longer wanted to cross over, because with these two transactions, his account was now very rich, enough for him to live a happy life without working for ten or more years.

  But this time the other party took the initiative to find him, put forward many tempting crossing things, and promised to give him a golden finger that he could not have, finally making Lei Tian tempted again.

  Dong Xin's Li Tian, following the instructions, found Jiuhua Mountain through the gorge...

  A look of impatience appeared on Hong Ye's face.

  Cheng Zhou only hugged him when he first woke up, but afterwards he refused to pay attention to him. He had previously eaten leopard gall and quietly complained that he shouldn't have let Cheng Zhou go on an adventure alone, and also had the only person in the know, Si Tu, transfer him from the train station to find Li Jia Cheng, making him worry all the way.

  Two rabbits were timid, now one dares to complain about him and the other even dares to be directly cold towards him, causing Red Leaf's heart fire to be exceptionally vigorous.

  Why didn't you just keep it from us? It's not a big deal anyway. Besides, what's the point of telling us two?

  Hong Ye glared at He Sheng, causing him to directly hide in the shadows. Then he went to glare at Cheng Zhou.

  Chengzhou... continued to ignore him.

  "What's said can be told." Sito very sensitively sensed the unstable atmosphere, forcibly interrupting Lian Tian's words and saying briefly:

  "After Lí Tiān came over, he was controlled by the little monk. His body and soul were forcibly separated. The little monk made a deal with him to help him open the golden finger in exchange for his help in doing some things. Lí Tiān was unwilling, so the little monk directly punished his soul. Lí Tiān couldn't bear the punishment, so he had no choice but to help him. This also applies to others who want to cross over. Only those who complete the tasks given by the little monk can cross over."

  "Is that to say those who jumped from the gorge didn't actually cross over, but instead their bodies and souls were controlled by Little Monk? And Little Monk used their soul bodies to make them do things for him, only after completing tasks could they cross over, right?" Cheng Chou confirmed.

  That's right.

  "What Little Monk said about crossing into another world is actually crossing into a certain space within his boundary, isn't it?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Initially, the person who crossed over was probably not controlled by Little Monk, but directly crossed into Little Monk's space, right?" Cheng Zhou asked Li Tian.

  Li Tian nodded with a sad face, "It should be like this, otherwise he wouldn't have been deceived."

  "What did Little Monk let you do?"

  "...writing letters and maintaining server operation."

  Chengzhou suddenly realized something, "In other words, apart from the emails Yang Xin sent, and later wrote to tell him that he had actually crossed over with, were all...?"

  "That person knows all the private information and has good computer skills, so he lets him handle these things, such as sending emails or transferring all the bank account balances to his designated account, sometimes even selling houses or collecting things."

  "Those who want to cross over really believe in him..."

  "For them, using these 'useless' things to exchange for money in another world is a very cost-effective deal." Si Tu smiled and interjected.

  Cheng Zhou still had a question, "Did Chen Yan call after being mentioned?"

  "Yes."

  Fortunately, she didn't overthink it, and Cheng Zhou asked again: "Was she in a state of trance at that time? Wasn't her mobile phone confiscated?"

  "She was indeed in a state of trance at that time, and her mobile phone was indeed not by her side." Li Tian hesitated and refused to continue speaking.

  Hong Ye walked over and kicked him again.

  Li Tian's face turned sour, "Young master, stop kicking, this is a real body, it hurts when kicked!"

  Hong Ye stuffed her small hand into her father's large one, giving him a cold sideways glance.

  Li Tian was truly afraid of him and could only honestly confess: "After leaving the soul, I found that I can directly connect to some signals, such as mobile phone numbers."

  "Can little monks also connect with the outside world?"

  "Yes, but the time that can be persisted is very short and it's extremely exhausting. Because I knew Chen Yan Jie recognized her, later she said to make a phone call for help, then I told her instead of calling the police, why not call someone who understands the way, then Chen Yan Jie passed on the soul body connected mobile number, we contacted twice, later really couldn't hold on, then that person had some perception, didn't dare to contact again."

  Cheng Zhou's heart moved slightly again, and Chen Yan surprisingly remembered his phone number.

  Cheng Zhou looked at Situ again, "They left, what about those police? And Li Jiacheng?"

  Situ slapped Lei Tian unconscious with a palm, and replied: "We didn't alert those police officers because the building really exists. As long as we break in, nothing will happen inside. It's that possessed third-level inspector, Li Jiacheng, who said he'll take responsibility for exorcising him, and definitely won't let the other party notice."

  "Why wasn't I warned from the beginning?" This question had been lingering in Chu's mind for a long time. In fact, what he really wanted to ask was, did they have to use him as bait to get rid of that little monk?

  "Sorry, at first I didn't notice that we had already entered the realm of Little Monk. It wasn't until I heard the police talking next door that I realized there might be something strange about this space."

  At that time, I also wanted to try to take him away, but when I tried to walk out a bit, I found that not only might we not be able to get out, but there was also a great possibility of getting separated, so I didn't dare to try again and returned to his side.

  Originally, he wanted to wait for Hong Ye and He Sheng to bring Li Jia Cheng over before making a joint effort to rush out together, but that little monk's speed was even faster, and he found the door first.

  He Sheng glanced at Hong Ye and, for the sake of the relationship between these two fathers and sons, also helped to mediate: "According to Sutu, Hong Ye's original intention was to let him keep watch. If he saw Xiao He Shang's true body, he would try to contact him..."

  "No, I know that Xiao Shang's true body is in its domain, and the only way to eliminate it is to enter. But as long as it exists, it won't be able to put itself into its own domain voluntarily, so if you want to find it, you can only open a passage from outside and must find its true body immediately, otherwise, once it sees that you're searching for it, it will definitely escape." Hong Ye stared at Cheng Chou's eyes and spoke the truth.

  He Sheng was silent, and Sutu looked up at the sky.

  Cheng Zhou nodded, indicating he understood.

  "So from the very beginning, I designed it to be a lure, letting Si Tu take it and entice the little monk's true body into its realm. Once it sees it, it will definitely be unable to resist..."

  "Got it!" Chengzhou suddenly interrupted Hongye's words, "What we said at that time was heard by the adjacent space."

  Chengzhou didn't wait for Hongye to say anything and immediately asked Situ, "Why did you knock Lei Tian unconscious just now?"

  "There are some things he can't know about, and besides... the special police will be here soon, we need to make some preparations." Si Tu said as he continued to arrange Li Tian.

  "They've finally arrived?" Cheng Zhou raised his wrist to check the time and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? It's only one thirty?"

  Isn't that just from when the little monk knocked on the door to now, 45 minutes have passed? But in his feeling, Cheng Zhou felt like it had been three or four hours.

  "What preparations should we make?" Cheng Zhou asked Situ.

  "Let's make a false statement come true."

  "Before that, let's dig up the corpse here and burn it." Hong Ye tapped her foot on the ground, covering up her extremely anxious mood.

  He Sheng was wronged by Hong Ye in front of him, so he took the initiative to do hard labor, and Cheng Chou also helped together.

  They soon dug up a small black corpse of a child.

  Hong Ye didn't say much more and with a wave of his hand, he ignited the corpse.

  He led the troops back in good order.

  Li Tian also woke up with a painful neck at this time.

  Situ grabbed his neck and said: "Don't you want to avoid going to jail? Don't you want to avoid being punished? Don't you want to avoid being implicated in the case?"

  Li Tian immediately hugged his thigh, "Big brother, save me! I really don't want to go to jail!"

  "Good, then memorize all the words I've taught you, best to recite them without missing a single word. This way, in the eyes of the police, you'll quickly change from being a prime suspect to a coerced accomplice, and then from an accomplice to someone who is eager for leniency and has made meritorious contributions."
