" Six, six hundred thousand?!" Second Grandpa exclaimed.
"That's right." Zhou Ze nodded.
"But, didn't you only ask for 500,000 before?”Someone asked in confusion.
Zhou Ze smiled and said," That was before. When you invited me, it was naturally this amount." But now it's different. You don't trust me, and now you're looking for me when you're in trouble. What do you take me for? Did he come and go at will? That's why the price has increased."
Zhou Ze smiled silently when he saw the villagers lowering their heads. He said,""Since you chose to believe those two fake Daoists, you will naturally have to pay the price. It was you who chose them and rejected me, not me who rejected you. Since you made the wrong choice, you have to pay the price.”
"Nothing can be done for no reason. You have to pay the corresponding price in order to receive the corresponding price. You should all understand this principle.”
" Sigh," Second Grandpa sighed and said desolately," 600,000 it is! As long as Mr. Zhou can help us solve this problem, we will pay 600,000 yuan. As long as no more people die, the Zhou family can no longer afford to lose lives for no reason.”
Hearing his words, the other villagers fell silent.
Second Grandpa looked around at the villagers and said,"Mr. Zhou wants 600,000 yuan. This is for the entire village, not for any family. Everyone was of the same clan. This money would be divided according to the ability of each family.”
Second grandpa turned to Zhou Ze and said,""Mr. Zhou, we'll pay 600,000. Please cast your spell.”
Zhou Ze nodded and said," Don't worry. You get what you pay for."”
Then, Zhou Ze walked to Qi Dahai, who was still smiling like a madman. Zhou Ze sighed,""Since you've gone crazy, don't mind me using you again.”
Zhou Ze clenched his right hand into a claw and reached for Qi Dahai's forehead. Then, Zhou Ze closed his eyes, and an invisible wave entered Qi Dahai's head through Zhou Ze's hand.
Innate skill, Trace! Activate!
Then, Zhou Ze was presented with Qi Dahai's experience. He learned from the villagers that the village was haunted, and then he pretended to be a Taoist priest with Zhou Erxi to scam money.
The two of them did whatever they wanted and then ate and drank in the ancestral hall. Not only did they eat up the fruits, chickens, and ducks, but they also drank all the wine. Then, they went to the toilet because they felt uncomfortable. When they came back, they saw Zhou Erxi, whose face was covered in blood, being tightly grabbed by a pair of hideous and twisted claws. Then, his heart was eaten by a hideous and terrifying head.
Zhou Ze opened his eyes when he saw that. Qi Dahai had already fallen to the ground.
Zhou Ze waved his hand when he saw the villagers panicking. He said,""It's fine. I just saw his memories. He's not dead.”
Zhou Ze looked at the spot where Zhou Erxi died and then at Qi Dahai's position. He had a conclusion, so he said,""That ghost has always been in the ancestral hall. It should be unable to leave the ancestral hall due to some kind of restriction, so it can only harm people in the ancestral hall. This is also why Zhou Erxi died and Qi Dahai was fine.”
"At that time, Zhou Erxi was eating and drinking in the ancestral hall, while Qi Dahai went to the toilet and didn't enter the ancestral hall when he came back, so he survived. Zhou Erxi died because his heart was eaten by that ghost. If I'm not wrong, the three people who died earlier also died with frightened faces and bulging eyes, but there were no wounds on their bodies, right?”
The villagers nodded when they heard Zhou Ze's words.
"That's right, Mr. Zhou is absolutely right."”
"Of course. My guess is correct. The hearts of those three people were also eaten. If you don't believe me, you can take a look and see if their hearts have caved in a little.”Zhou Ze smiled. His eyes were filled with confidence.
"Mr. Zhou is simply a god. What he said is not wrong at all!”The villagers were excited. They saw hope.
Xia Weilan looked at Zhou Ze, who was in his detective mode, in shock. She asked,""You can actually deduce?"
" You don't know much about my abilities," Zhou Ze smiled." You mortals can see through my abilities. There are a lot of things you don't know!"”
"Stop pretending! Do you think I don't know you? Where did your deduction skills come from?”Xia Weilan pursed her lips.
"Oh? Then what do you know about me? How thick is it?" Zhou Ze said with a smirk.
Xia Weilan rolled her eyes at Zhou Ze and said,""Stop fooling around. Tell me how you did it.”
"It's simple. It's a newly-awakened talent that can trace back to everything a person has experienced in the past 24 hours.”Zhou Ze said.
Xia Weilan could not help but be stunned. She asked in an aggrieved tone,"Why do you have so many abilities while I only have one?!”
"Sigh, I'm also very helpless. Who asked me to be smarter than you? Awakened so easily. Perhaps this was what a genius was.”Zhou Ze sighed.
"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Xia Weilan looked at Zhou Ze as if she was saying,'You're kidding me'.
"I'm not lying to you. It's true. My abilities have been increasing recently. I'm very special. Don't forget how I helped you revive.”Zhou Ze said.
Xia Weilan pouted when she heard that. It seemed like Zhou Ze was really special.
Zhou Ze knew that he was the Sun God, but he did not dare to tell anyone. If he did, Zhou Ze could swear that there would be countless 'righteous people' who would kill him for justice.
It was like a baby holding a large piece of gold walking in the night. Gold was already eye-catching enough, and he was still a child. Was he afraid that others would not be jealous?
That was why Zhou Ze did not plan to tell Xia Weilan his identity. Of course, it was only temporary. He would tell her when he could protect himself.
Zhou Ze smiled as he made up his mind. He then stroked Xia Weilan's head and said,""Wait for a while and see how I catch the ghost.”
Second grandpa saw Zhou Ze and Xia Weilan talking to each other softly. He asked curiously,""Mr. Zhou, do you have a solution?”
"As I said before, that ghost can only harm people inside the ancestral hall. It's safe outside the ancestral hall. I'll help you get rid of that ghost tonight. Tomorrow morning, I hope to see 600,000. Now, go back to sleep.”Zhou Ze said confidently.
Seeing how confident Zhou Ze was, the villagers had no choice but to leave. However, after what happened to Zhou Erxi and Qi Dahai, no one knew how much hope they had left.
Zhou Ze smiled as he watched the villagers leave. He said,""Weilan, it's time for us to catch the ghost.”
