"The evil ghost is causing trouble. You ghost messengers are really derelict in your duties," the man said as he flicked his finger, flinging the cowering Wang Yingxiu towards the faceless ghost messenger.
The faceless ghost messenger's black mist immediately transformed into a huge, pitch - black net, capturing Wang Yingxiu's soul.
"Hehe, this lowly one will take her to the eighteenth level of hell for trial right away," the faceless ghost messenger flattered with a smile. "A red - clothed evil ghost trying to arrange a ghost marriage with a human. She must think life in the underworld is too comfortable!"
This faceless ghost messenger was really going too far. In order to curry favor with this so - called "Great Demon," he didn't even go through the underworld's trial process or clarify the facts before sending someone straight to hell!
"Hey, you can't take A Xiu away!" I reached out to block the faceless ghost messenger's path. "You can't ignore the truth. She is the victim of the harm!"
The faceless ghost messenger glanced at me sideways and let out a cold laugh. "There's no good in a red - clothed evil ghost. She escaped the arrest of the ghost messengers. The yellow paper you gave me clearly states the cause and date of her death!"
"He was the one who killed A Xiu. If anyone should go to hell, it's him," I glared at the faceless ghost messenger fiercely. If he really dared to send A Xiu to suffer, I wouldn't mind sealing him in a soul bottle and burying him in a manure pit where no one would ever find him!
"You dare to threaten this great messenger?!" There was surprise in the faceless ghost messenger's voice. He probably had never seen a human who dared to threaten an underworld civil servant.
"This is easy to handle!" The slender man then spoke up. He casually tossed Song Yixuan's living soul, which he had been holding, to the faceless ghost messenger. "This thing almost hurt Xiaoxi. It shouldn't have been alive in the first place. You might as well take it down too and let the Inspection Department also look into it."
The black mist around the faceless ghost messenger once again transformed into a net, which instantly locked Song Yixuan's living soul, who was screaming continuously.
Daring to order a ghost messenger to lock up a living soul? Daring to demand that the Inspection Department handle a case? Who on earth was this man?
Since ancient times, the underworld has had clear - cut rules. The Book of Life and Death is an iron - clad law that allows no mistakes. It's rare for a ghost messenger to take the wrong person, because taking a living soul that shouldn't have left the world is a serious dereliction of duty. The consequences for ghost messengers are not just dismissal and fine!
However, seeing that the faceless ghost messenger didn't hesitate at all when following the order of Lu Xiyu's man, I couldn't help but deeply suspect his identity.
"What? This thing dared to hurt the wife of the Great Demon. It's like an old man hanging himself, tired of living!" The faceless ghost messenger exclaimed exaggeratedly and tightened the net fiercely, squeezing Song Yixuan into a "rice dumpling."
Song Yixuan wasn't a completely unconscious dead soul. He still had the physical sense of pain, so he howled like a ghost.
"I don't want to die with Wang Yingxiu!!"
Seeing his own body lying on the ground, Song Yixuan desperately tried to struggle towards it, but the faceless ghost messenger tightened the net more and more. Eventually, he was shrunk into a ball the size of an egg and stuffed, together with Wang Yingxiu, into the faceless ghost messenger's illusory mist.
"Great Demon, is there anything else? If not, this lowly messenger will go back to report," the faceless ghost messenger said with a smile, thinking he had done a good job, and bowed to Lu Xiyu's man.
"Yeah," the man waved his hand. The black mist of the faceless ghost messenger instantly dissipated in the air, and the lights in the room brightened up again.
However, at this moment, Song Yixuan was lying on the ground, covered in filth, and had already lost his breath.
This man was born with a peacock - like appearance. After becoming a star, he cared even more about his image. He would never go out without spending two or three hours on makeup every day.
Who would have thought that when he died, he would be so dirty. I wonder what would happen to his persona in the eyes of his young fans if they knew how dirty he was both inside and out!
"Xiao Song?!" Ma Su didn't have the yin - yang eyes, so she couldn't see what had just happened. It was only at this moment that she noticed that Song Yixuan on the ground had stopped even moaning.
She quickly ran over and reached out to feel Song Yixuan's breath. It was ice - cold. Song Yixuan had died silently.
"You... You killed someone!" She pointed at Lu Xiyu's man and screamed. "I'm going to call the police!"
Ma Su thought that no matter how powerful Lu Xiyu was, she was just a folk feng shui master. Her husband, although good - looking, probably wasn't a powerful figure. Ma Su had seen a lot, and she didn't remember such a person in the capital.
Lu Xiyu's man completely ignored Ma Su's accusation. He just looked at me coldly and said, "You're not human, yet you're so high - profile wandering around in front of people. Aren't you afraid that the underworld will take you away?"
"I haven't done anything bad. They need a proper reason to arrest me!" I was really annoyed by this theory that non - humans were inherently guilty.
I had learned benevolent Taoist arts from Granny Bai and the others, and I had never had the intention of harming others.
"Hey, stop talking," Lu Xiyu noticed that I was at odds with her man. She quickly covered her man's mouth and said, "Xiao He is a friend. Don't be too harsh."
Although the man had a cold face, he was quite obedient. When Lu Xiyu told him not to talk, he really shut up.
Ma Su had already called the police. Tao Ran Media had many properties here and had a good relationship with the local police officers and security personnel.
The apartment door was wide open, and the sound of the elevator going up could be heard.
The security guards in uniform from Wangjing Apartment had arrived on the floor first.
"Miss Ma, please stand behind us," four security guards, holding electric batons, immediately protected Ma Su.
In the room, besides Song Yixuan's body, there were me, two bewildered neighborhood uncles, and Lu Xiyu and her husband. The little fox named Baobao had disappeared.
"We're good people! We were just sending someone here!" The neighborhood uncles never thought that their kind - hearted help would turn them into eyewitnesses of a "murder case." They quickly tried to clear themselves.
"Don't move. You'll have your chance to talk when the police come!" The security guards blocked the door when they saw there were so many people in the room. They completely ignored the uncles' explanations.
"Hey?! You?!" Suddenly, one of the four security guards looked at me, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. "Aren't you Du Xinghe from the incense shop on the back street?"
I was stunned. I didn't think I had friends everywhere, and I didn't recognize this security guard at all...
"It's me!" The security guard walked towards me with a fake smile, twirling his baton. "We just wanted to borrow some pocket money from your shop, but you pretended to be a ghost and extorted a large sum of money from us two brothers. We can settle this account today."
Although he was wearing a police - style uniform, his rascal look finally reminded me of who he was!
