Chapter 665: Giants on the Chessboard
After returning home, Jiang Chen took out a large pile of offerings he had received previously.
He looked and saw that the door of the side bedroom was closed. He walked forward and knocked. The door opened lightly and Xiao Hai stood upright in the shadow.
"Uncle Jiang, you're back?"
He has shed his previous childishness and gives people a sense of reliability.
Jiang Chen nodded and introduced Jiang Xiaochen. As for Tiezhu, he had already become familiar with the little kid. He jumped up, patted Xiaohai's shoulder with his tail and praised him.
"Little Knight! Thank you for living up to the King's expectations and guarding this home while we were away. Brother Zhu now declares that you are eligible for promotion to a Level 2 Intermediate Knight!"
Xiao Hai smiled shyly. Under the constant pressure of Tie Zhu's eyes, he had no choice but to straighten his back slightly and shouted, "Thank you, Iron Hat King!"
"King Iron Hat has something to ask you now." Tie Zhu controlled his posture, coughed dryly, and said in a deep voice, "Did you have any strange encounters while we were away?"
Jiang Chen also became a little serious.
He naturally saw early on that Xiao Hai had actually reached the peak of the Soul Realm, and was only one step away from becoming a Half-King.
Not only that, he now gave Jiang Chen a very strange feeling. He stood there, yet seemed to be there and not there, as if he might turn into a dream bubble and disappear from his sight at any time!
"Replying to the Iron Hat King," Xiao Hai said solemnly and respectfully, "I have indeed encountered some strange things."
"There's a serious problem with ghosts in the city right now. One time, while I was exorcising a ghost and saving someone, I accidentally revealed my identity. Although I later used the method my grandfather taught me to erase a part of that person's memory, for some reason, he still remembered me."
"That person was a cartoonist, and he later drew this incident into his story, saying it was his own personal experience."
"This story became an instant hit in Jiangbei. In the comic, he named me 'Dream Guardian,' saying I'm a deity that protects people from evil in their dreams."
"Later, I saw many brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, who liked to hang a small doll pendant that looked very similar to me, and prayed for my blessing."
"I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then I suddenly realized that my strength was growing much faster than before, and I also learned a special ability."
"When someone encounters a supernatural event and calls my name, I can sense it. If I want, I can appear beside them in an instant..."
After hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression became more serious.
There are many doubts in this matter. First, Xiao Hai was already a red-clothed warrior before, so how could he reveal his identity in front of ordinary people?
Second, how could the ghost cultivator's method of erasing memory be effective for no reason?
Third, why didn’t the Jiangbei Branch stop such a cartoon from appearing?
He suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone and opened the Hell app.
Sure enough, the Jiangbei Branch had actually reported the matter of 01, Chen Xue, and Xiao Hai to me a long time ago, but I had no signal in the restricted area and didn't pay attention.
He opened a top-secret file classified as A.
The above records the entire content of the Xiaohai incident.
This also answered many of Jiang Chen's questions.
The answer is simple: that cartoonist is a person who does not exist.
The underworld tried every possible means, even inviting Yama, to stop the spread of this work, but failed.
Finally, he found out that this matter was only beneficial to Xiao Hai and not harmful, so he stopped caring about it and just informed Jiang Chen.
"Who is behind this and what is their purpose?"
Jiang Chen touched his chin.
At this time, Tiezhu standing next to him opened his mouth wide, seeming to be quite shocked.
He looked over: "Pillar?"
Tiezhu came back to his senses: "Dad! If I'm not mistaken, this, this, this, this... I'm afraid we have witnessed history!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Creating a deity! This is truly creating a deity!" Tiezhu suddenly jumped around a few times, seemingly too excited to express himself. "It's different from the deification those little kids talk about. This is creating belief and drawing on the power of incense. This is equivalent to creating a deity of the same lineage and level as mountain gods and river gods!"
