Bai Ningning, a timid girl with a ghost-attracting physique, unexpectedly entered the Metaphysics University. Due to her cowardice and inability to catch ghosts, she became the academic bottom-feed...
The night before it was confirmed that Yun Xian had defected to the Ghost Alliance, Bai Ningning went to the underworld to inspect the work (to check the progress of the work) after a long absence.
As the little devil who comes with a harvesting buff, Bai Ningning cannot go to crowded places.
Previously, she wanted to add more entertainment facilities to the underworld in order to provide some convenience and happiness to the residents of the ghost world.
Now she has some selfish motives - if she can't play with things in the human world, she has to play with them in the ghost world.
Bai Ningning did not announce in advance that she would come to the underworld today. When the ghosts who had connections with her heard that she was coming, they lined up to find her to report on their work progress, one after another.
For a moment, Bai Ningning felt like she was the unscrupulous boss who appeared in the company from time to time. These people were lining up to report to her on their work, but in fact they were there to urge her to pay their wages - look, I have done so much, isn't it time to get my salary?
Bai Ningning is a broke and unscrupulous boss who just wants to run away with his sister-in-law.
She said hello to Ma Juan and Cheng Xiu and said, "Please help arrange it. Gather everyone who wants to report on their work. We'll have a discussion meeting in an hour. This way everyone will have time to prepare."
Bai Ningning also felt that a threshold needed to be set, otherwise a large group of ghosts would come to her to report trivial matters.
She said, "It's mainly the Ghost Messenger Team, represented by the Black and White Impermanence. For the patrol team in the back five districts—just ask Zhang Xi. Cheng Yun is the technical team representative. And Jiang Miao has been called over, she's considered the entertainment team representative. That's all we have for now. If you're unsure, ask him."
She pointed her thumb at Chu Ze behind her.
Chu Ze felt slightly relieved and immediately suggested: "Why don't you call Xiaoyan?"
"Can he leave Wangchuan?" Bai Ningning replied casually, flipping through the information and drawings in her hand, checking the materials that someone had prepared for her in advance.
Chu Ze asked Cheng Xiu to inform the others first, while he followed behind Bai Ningning and muttered, "You have to at least invite him, otherwise he'll be so pitiful. Alone in Wangchuan, with no connection to the human world, and no place to stay in the ghost world. He's all alone, fending for himself..."
Bai Ningning's mouth twitched as she corrected him, "It's self-pity. Where did you copy those flowery words?"
"Yeah?"
Chu Ze folded his hands and lazily followed suit: "I didn't ask you to correct your wording."
"Holding a meeting isn't a good thing; it's a waste of time..." She suddenly paused and changed the subject, "Tell Cheng Xiu to set the meeting place next to Wangchuan. I'd like to trouble Sister Juan to help arrange it."
"That's right."
Chu Ze nodded with relief, stopped bothering her, and went to pass on the message happily.
Bai Ningning just suddenly realized that if there is no expectation in life and nothing you want to do, then every moment is a waste of time and every second is boring.
Especially for someone like Chu Yuyan who sleeps little, has difficulty moving, and is imprisoned in Wangchuan every day, the most difficult thing is to kill these boring times that seem to have no end.
He might be looking forward to the meeting, or rather, looking forward to changes.
Bai Ningning brought the materials to Wangchuan and called Chu Yuyan over: "Since you are free anyway, come and help me build the formation?"
"It's not idle at all. The ghosts in Wangchuan are not easy to deal with."
Chu Yuyan said this and came over.
"Really?" Bai Ningning glanced at Wangchuan's situation, "You really don't like meetings either, do you?"
Chu Yuyan glanced at the Wangchuan River, which was as calm as the horizon, and fell silent.
It was so turbulent just half a minute ago, ready to cause trouble, but now it's completely calm. Who are they pretending to be?!
Chu Yuyan took the blueprint and studied it, then said, "No, I really enjoy meetings. I'm very interested in new things. Take me with you."
【Forced to like】
[The Ghosts of Wangchuan: Well-behaved.jpg]
I seem to see the resentful ghosts of Wangchuan breaking out in cold sweat. Ningning is the real god of death, a god of death that even ghosts are afraid of.
Bai Ningning glanced at Wangchuan and asked, "Have they been disobedient recently?"
Chu Yuyan: "It's not bad, it's under control."
[Beasts have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm]
[To ghosts, my second brother isn't as scary as Ningning]
[What kind of beast is this!? This can't be a carbon-based creature, right?!]
[They are just fragments of obsession and resentment, just like sewer creatures are afraid of the sun.]
Bai Ningning stared at Wangchuan for a while, trying to see something from it.
She didn't see anything useful, but she could see that the tide of the Forgetful River seemed to be receding, and all the resentments were moving farther away from her.
Chu Yuyan had a blank expression on his face. Nowadays, even resentment depends on the person's mood.
He asked, "Where are you going to set up the formation? This looks quite troublesome."
"Wait a minute, let me do an experiment first."
Bai Ningning then withdrew her gaze from Wangchuan, took a pen and paper and copied it on a blank A4 paper, then randomly grabbed a ball of resentment from Wangchuan and stuffed it into the small paper figure prepared for her by Cheng Xiu.
After infusing her spiritual power, the formation worked smoothly and successfully separated the small piece of paper, ghost energy and resentment from each other, and the small piece of paper remained intact.
But there are also disadvantages. It consumes a lot of spiritual power, and once Bai Ningning stops, the formation will stop working immediately.
But after all, it is a simplified version on A4 paper. Maybe it will be better than it is now after adding various materials on drawing formations.
The initial white paper experiment was quite successful, and Bai Ningning prepared to build a formal formation with Chu Yuyan.
She suddenly had an idea: "There will be a meeting later, this is what you will report on."
Chu Yuyan: "Hmm? Do I have to report too?"
Bai Ningning wanted him to feel more involved, so she said, "Well, the underworld needs to exchange information with each other. At least we need to know what others are doing. Building a new underworld is everyone's... ghost's responsibility."
After a while, the meeting time came, and their formation had not been completely set up yet, so they had to put it aside for the time being.
The meeting place was right next to Wangchuan River. Ma Juan asked the ghosts to move a large table to the riverside. Jiang Miao prepared some food and drinks, many of which were new products she developed after arriving in the underworld.
The Wangchuan River was extremely calm, without a single ripple. The ghosts gathered by the river, their expressions very serious, as if they were in a large open-air conference room.
Bai Ningning pinched a few willow trees by the river and asked, "Does this feel a bit like an outing?"
Chu Ze applauded: "Well, it's even more eerie."
"Then I feel relieved."
As Bai Ningning spoke, she called Geng Yiyi over, wanting her to use celebrity aesthetics as a reference.
Unexpectedly, Geng Yiyi came and sat directly opposite Fan Wujiu, smiling and saying hello: "Long time no see."
Fan Wujiu didn't care who the visitor was. He just casually responded and continued arguing with the others: "Whether it's respecting the elderly and loving the young or ranking by seniority, we should report first!"
"That's right."
Xie Bian agreed with him and added calmly, "White plays first, so I go first."
Fan Wujiu was fooled by him: "Is it, is it?"
Geng Yiyi couldn't bear to watch and argued for her savior: "Black moves first! Black usually moves first."
Xie Bian gave her a cold look with a cold face.
But Geng Yiyi didn't care about it at all.
Seeing them arguing, Jiang Miao jumped in and said, "These foods of mine can warm up the meeting. We can taste them and give our opinions before the meeting, right? And the tea Ningning asked me to make earlier is making good progress. Xiuxiu and the others said it's good, but the two ghost messengers haven't tried it yet."
Chu Yuyan remained calm and said with a smile, "Everyone, please take your time arguing. I'll finish setting up the formation first, then we'll come back."
He found it fun, like playing with a big jigsaw puzzle, which was very interesting.
As soon as he said this, the others glared at him: "We're in a group meeting, why don't you listen to our report? Is this boring?"
Zhang Xi quietly huddled in the corner farthest from Bai Ningning, wondering if he should be in a place like this where gods were fighting.
Bai Ningning clapped her hands to signal everyone to quiet down, and said, "In that case, let's roll the dice. The higher number goes first. If the numbers are the same, we'll play rock-paper-scissors."
Ningning has played dice twice so far, both times with Zhang Xi present.
[Zhang Xi wouldn't mistakenly think that the King of Hell carries dice with him, right?]
After the rules were set, Bai Ningning "casually" threw the dice in front of Zhang Xi, who was the farthest away from her.
Zhang Xi subconsciously took it, but then felt something was wrong. Why should he be the first to roll the dice, as he was the least experienced kid who was forced to work for the King of Hell?
Let the big guys go first.
As he thought this, he loosened his grip, and the dice spun for a while before landing on the table, showing exactly six neatly arranged small blue dots.
The others had no objection and said, "Then you go first."
Zhang Xi: “…”
He didn't throw it, he just touched it accidentally.
He felt like crying but had no tears. He wanted to take the initiative to exchange with others, but was too embarrassed to ask.
[Zhang Xi: Weak, pitiful, and helpless, but incredibly lucky]
[Why do I feel like Ningning deliberately picked up the dice just because she saw Zhang Xi?]
Chu Ze grumbled quietly: "Why is this stinky boy always so lucky?"
As soon as he said this, Chu Yuyan understood. Bai Ningning probably just wanted to watch the fun and not mind the trouble. She had seen Zhang Xi's luck before, so this time she deliberately wanted Zhang Xi to speak first.
The others rolled the dice in order to decide the order of reporting, and Cheng Xiu recorded the order of everyone's appearance.
Fan Wujiu looked at himself pitifully, doubting his life.
Xie Bian threw out a 5, and Fan Wujiu bared his teeth at him: "Did you suck all my luck away?"
Geng Yiyi offered her help: "I got a 5 too, I can trade with you."
Fan Wujiu: "Thank you, you are such a good person."
Xie Bian waited until they finished exchanging before saying, "We're going to play rock-paper-scissors to decide the order of appearance."
Xie Bian is a little cunning here - Fan Wujiu has never beaten Xie Bian in this game.
Fan Wujiu: “…”
Geng Yiyi volunteered: "Let me do it, I'm lucky!"
Xie Bian: "No, you have already changed."
Of course Fan Wujiu lost. He sat there with a sullen look on his face for a while, but soon he forgot about it completely and took the initiative to chat with Xie Bian.
Bai Ningning watched the fun from the side and whispered to the Chu family father and son: "Is this a strange culture among ghost officials? It doesn't sound like a good thing."
"What?"
Seeing that everyone was talking about dice and no one was paying attention to this, Bai Ningning whispered, "You are a good ghost, a good evil. It sounds like a sarcastic expression like 'a good ghost.'"
"Ghosts are not always sarcastic to each other, but Mr. Chu is often sarcastic." Cheng Xiu stood behind them with a smile and spoke suddenly.
The three people who were gossiping were startled. Bai Ningning's reaction was particularly guilty. She sat down obediently, with a posture like a serious primary school student.
Chu Ze was dissatisfied: "What? How could I be sarcastic?"
Cheng Xiu handed over the dice: "Everyone else has decided on the order, only three are left."
Bai Ningning: "I'll be the last one."
Chu Ze didn't believe it and threw the dice high up.
Everyone's gaze followed the dice as it rose and fell, finally landing on the table. After a few jumps, tumbling, and spinning, it finally settled.
A bright red dot.
Chu Ze: “…”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Geng Yiyi raised her fist with great interest: "Then Mr. Chu wants to play rock-paper-scissors with me."
Chu Ze didn't want to continue to embarrass himself: "No, I'll take the initiative to line up at the end."
Chu Yuyan played by the rules and rolled a 4. When someone else had the same number as him, he just waved his hand, indicating that he could just go to the back row.
Bai Ningning didn't know if she was trying to comfort her father or finish him off: "Actually, you're quite lucky. Only 1 and 4 on the dice are red. Maybe it's the luck of the dice that's written in our DNA."
Chu Ze: "...You are also quite sarcastic."
Bai Ningning just smiled and said nothing.
Cheng Xiu came close to Bai Ningning and asked in a low voice: "Are you really not going to participate? The King of Hell can also have a sense of ritual. Come and join us."
Bai Ningning covered her mouth with her hand and confessed to her in a very low voice: "To be honest, I haven't thought about what to say yet."
[Little King of Hell: I am only here to listen to the report, not to report. Please don’t embarrass me.]
Ningning is the unscrupulous Party A, who is only responsible for making demands.
[Nonsense! Party A still pays! Ning Ning doesn't even pay!]
[It’s not that we don’t get paid, it’s just that the wages are invisible and intangible. However, the environment in the underworld is getting better little by little.]
Cheng Xiu handed the list to Bai Ningning for review and asked, "Do you need to adjust the order?"
Bai Ningning shook her head.
I didn't expect that there were so many people coming to report. Not counting Cheng Xiu and Ma Juan who were in charge of logistics, there were ten people in total including her.
Cheng Xiu announced in a formal manner, "Then please welcome the first reporter, Mr. Zhang Xi, who is responsible for security issues in Districts 5-9. Next, please ask Mr. Xie Bian to prepare himself."
Zhang Xi walked to the front of the stage nervously, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet.
He didn't even know what to say. He hadn't planned to report, but the King of Hell called him here.
Bai Ningning took the lead in cheering: "Applause!"
The big guys present were very respectful and applauded him in unison.
Zhang Xi suddenly became so nervous that his blood rushed to his head and his entire body above his neck turned red.
Chu Ze was facing a formidable enemy: "You're not going to self-destruct here, are you?"
Chu Yuyan said lightly, "It's just right to throw it into Wangchuan, it's convenient."
"They are trying to scare you, don't be afraid." Bai Ningning, who had scared him before, said this.
But Zhang Xi didn't feel comforted at all. He felt that Bai Ningning was much more terrifying than what these two people said.
Bai Ningning reminded quietly, "Talk about public security issues, the problems you encountered and solved since taking office, the problems you haven't solved, and your future plans, etc."
Zhang Xi was nervous, feeling like Bai Ningning would throw him into the frying pan if he didn't answer a single question properly. He stammered, "After District 5... the security situation in Districts 5-9... everything... is normal. There are no troublemakers."
Chu Ze interrupted: "No? Isn't that right?"
Zhang Xi was so nervous that he wanted to swallow his saliva. This was a subconscious physiological reaction when he was still a human, but ghosts don't have saliva.
He became even more nervous, his voice trembling. "There was a level seven ghost that nearly went berserk. We worked together to stop it, and there were no casualties, and there were no subsequent problems."
Chu Ze: "That's right, you should speak boldly."
Fan Wujiu also agreed: "Don't cover up or hide it, or something bad will happen if it goes on for a long time."
Bai Ningning: "Next time this happens, please tell us in time. Have you investigated the cause of the frenzy?"
Chu Ze didn't take it seriously: "It's normal for this kind of thing to happen in the later districts."
Bai Ningning stopped him and said to Zhang Xi, "After the meeting, please write a report on the incident and give it to me. I want to know the complete cause and effect, and to observe whether there will be any sequelae."
"Okay." Zhang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, ran down immediately, and shrank into a corner where no one cared, trying to curl himself up and squeeze into the crack in the ground.
I want to disappear from everyone's sight.
Bai Ningning: “…”
Is he so timid?
She began to doubt her life, pointing at her own face and asking Chu Ze, "Am I scary?"
I was scared away before I even finished my report.
Xie Bian did a very good job in recruiting new members to the underworld, and the report forms were beautiful, concise and clear.
All the new recruits he recruited were sent to Fan Wujiu for training, and they were well organized and coordinated.
Cheng Yun's plan has been completed quite well, and he just needs to wait for the power to be restored in the underworld before proceeding to the next practical step.
Chu Yuyan said that the preliminary test has been completed and the formation is being built. If successful, the Hall of Yama will be able to be powered on.
Everything is going in an orderly manner and everything is moving in a good direction.
Jiang Miao invited everyone to taste the newly developed tea and snacks. The taste had improved, but unfortunately, there was still nothing that Bai Ningning could eat to refresh herself and was harmless to the body.
Bai Ningning looked at Geng Yiyi: "So what about you? What do you want to report?"
"Don't underestimate me." Geng Yiyi took a whiteboard pen and made stickers and drew a relationship chart for everyone on the whiteboard that Bai Ningning had made.
She said, "This is the ghost alliance relationship chart I investigated."
Zhang Xi's eyes widened in shock - there really was a traitor in their Ghost Alliance!
Geng Yiyi explained, "The Ghost Alliance's headquarters is indeed in Dancheng, and Ningning had already wiped them out before. The reason they were so easy last time was largely because their main forces weren't in Dancheng. Their location was well-hidden, and no one dared to enter. It was like they were using the empty city strategy."
Bai Ningning muttered softly, "Secondly, there's no important information left inside."
There was no important information, so no important combat forces were left to guard it, which was why they were able to break in so easily.
Geng Yiyi continued, "Let me first introduce you to the Ghost Alliance. It's made up of ghosts, evil spirits, and some humans. It's a large organization, and the members don't know each other, but they all do similar things: gathering nearby ghosts together and raising them like a Gu to create a single evil spirit."
Starting with her, the atmosphere of the meeting became much more serious, and the officials of the underworld frowned unconsciously and became serious.
Ma Juan's family, victims of the Ghost Alliance, listened particularly attentively.
Geng Yiyi: "The next plan is probably to find an auspicious date to have ghost disasters happen all over the country at the same time, causing panic among the people - they need this kind of panic."
Just as evil spirits have obsessions, people who die in extreme panic will also turn into evil spirits.
Even if they are not dead, human negative emotions are extremely delicious food for evil spirits.
The evil spirits and evil spirits in the Ghost Alliance are a community with common interests.
Bai Ningning asked: "Do you know the specific time and plan?"
"Sorry, I don't know yet."
She had no contact with the core management and had limited information.
Geng Yiyi wrote down the names and characteristics on the whiteboard. "These are the characteristics of some important members of the Ghost Alliance. Please take note of them. They may be useful later."
Bai Ningning was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "You snatched the contents of Shu Lao's report. What will he say later?"
Geng Yiyi rolled her eyes. "Who cares? What was he doing earlier?"
Some of the information provided by Geng Yiyi was already known to the underworld, and some was unknown to them.
If ghosts had facial expressions, Zhang Xi's face would be pale at this moment.
Jiang Miao didn't know why he was like this, so he handed him a cup of sweet tea and said, "Can you take it easy?"
It’s time to make thousand-layer cakes
【It depends on who predicts more】
The Underworld has information. The Ghost Alliance knows the Underworld has information. The Underworld knows the Ghost Alliance knows they have information...
Bai Ningning was overwhelmed by the barrage of comments and reminded everyone present, "The Ghost Alliance also knows that we have this information. Be careful not to fall into a trap."
"Psychological games?"
Chu Yuyan gave a mysterious smile.
Geng Yiyi wondered, "How did the Ghost Alliance know this? Could it be that there's an insider in the underworld?"
Bai Ningning raised her hand and confessed: "I'm sorry, I'm the insider."
Everyone: “…Huh?!”
Bai Ningning stood next to the small whiteboard and provided a more covert piece of information: "These are all cadres, so their boss should be Ji Qinghuai, who they call the Ghost King."
Geng Yiyi frowned: "How can you be sure that he is the Ghost King?"
"Because I've met him." Bai Ningning didn't elaborate. "He's probably returned to the Ghost Alliance, and those metaphysical families that are entangled with the Ghost Alliance are probably in danger."
There are several metaphysical families with lofty ambitions who want to use ghosts to increase their power.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
Simply put, if they encounter Qinghuai, they will be in trouble.
Bai Ningning grabbed the old tree and said, "Come and tell everyone a story."
Tree Elder: “?”
[Old Tree: Are you sick?]
[Hilarious! They didn't even tell the old tree the whole story, and then suddenly dragged him out.]
Are all of you in Yama's Palace children? Do you still need bedtime stories to soothe you to sleep? (dog head)
Amid the joy of the barrage and the heaviness of the underworld, the old tree stood blankly by the Forgotten River, wondering whether he should just jump in.
Bai Ningning seemed to see through his thoughts and asked, "Can you do some fancy diving? Do a backflip?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Forgotten River seemed to notice something and quietly receded.
Old Tree: “…”
"Just kidding, don't be nervous."
Bai Ningning smiled and pushed him to the whiteboard, saying, "We want to hear the story about the Ghost Alliance and your Ghost King."
Although Shu Lao didn't want to talk, he was now forced into a contract by Bai Ningning and could not refuse her request at all.
I could only bite the bullet and speak as concisely as possible: "About seventeen years ago, the Ghost King appeared in the world. He possessed a very powerful ghost energy, even if it was only a small part. He said that he was suppressed by the Xuanmen and lent his power to us, asking us to form a ghost alliance and build a paradise just for ghosts."
Bai Ningning: “…”
The Ghost King has huge ambitions. He doesn't just want an amusement park. He wants the whole world to become his amusement park.
After the old tree finished speaking, he looked at Bai Ningning reluctantly: "Is that all? Are you satisfied? Can you let me go?"
Bai Ningning didn't even look at him, so she didn't receive his signal.
The story told by the old tree is not the point. The point is the timeline. Seventeen years ago, it happened to be the year when the previous King of Hell died, and it was two years after the Yun family moved to the deep mountains and forests.
She guessed there was some causal relationship, but she knew too little information to make an accurate judgment.
Chu Ze clapped his hands, awakening everyone from their deep thoughts: "Okay, have you finished talking about the Ghost Alliance? It's the next person's turn."
Geng Yiyi: "I still..."
She had just opened her mouth when she received a glare from Chu Ze, which was quite terrifying.
It wasn't a joking glare, but a terrifying feeling that if you dared to say another word, you would be dead.
Geng Yiyi pursed her lips unhappily, but still obediently changed her words: "I'm done."
Chu Ze grinned as he pushed the old man out of the way, stood in front of the whiteboard, and said, "Then it's my turn to report."
It looks not serious at first glance.
The old tree felt puzzled, but Bai Ningning didn't allow him to leave, so he could only sit on the ground beside her in frustration.
Chu Ze said in a relaxed and lazy tone: "I should be the last one to report today? Then let me tell you about my work during this period of retirement."
He clearly wasn't holding a red velvet grass in his mouth, but he looked like he was. His pronunciation wasn't clear, but he instantly pulled everyone out of the serious meeting atmosphere and into a relaxed daily life.
"Ghosts don't need to sleep, but unfortunately I'm not a ghost."
He told this as a joke and started his own topic: "Around seven or eight in the morning, I go to the human world for breakfast. After eating, I take a walk to stretch my body. It's almost time for lunch. In the afternoon, I read to kill time and then have dinner."
Jiang Miao complained: "What do you do all day except eating?"
Chu Ze smiled even more happily and said, "Life is so boring when I'm human. After all, my working hours are at night. After dinner, I have to go to the underworld to work. As usual, I will go around the various districts to harass the ghost messengers at work, and then go around to the Wangchuan River to bicker with Mr. Chu. It's almost morning, and it's time for breakfast."
After going around in circles, the final destination is still eating.
It was the first time that Jiang Miao witnessed the shamelessness of this person. She didn't expect that he didn't even blush when he talked so much nonsense - as a gourmet, she was embarrassed to say that she only knew how to eat all day long!
She was new and didn't know that Chu Ze had never had a life as a "human being" before.
Fan Wujiu was very happy and asked, "You should be very happy now, right? You can eat all kinds of delicious food."
"Yeah, it's not bad." Chu Ze smiled, as if he was saying it for Bai Ningning to hear, "It would be even better if I didn't have to wash dishes or do housework."
Seeing that Bai Ningning ignored him, he pointed out the name and asked, "Little King of Hell, do you want to say anything?"
【My father did it on purpose】
I don't want the meeting to be too serious. The amount of information is a bit overwhelming, and spreading too much anxiety will make it difficult to think calmly.
After reading the barrage, Bai Ningning had some insights and decided to save what she wanted to say for the next meeting - she originally wanted to talk about the complicated relationship between the Xuanmen.
Now it seems that it is enough to explain it clearly to the Black and White Impermanence in private. There are also some unrelated people in the ghost world here, and there is no need to let them know so much.
Bai Ningning stood up and gave everyone a summary in a relaxed tone: "I have received everyone's reports. Everything is moving in a good direction. Our ultimate goal is to establish a ghost paradise in the underworld and bring back those ghosts who have gone astray to educate them properly."
Although she didn't know how to be a good King of Hell, as the current leader of the underworld, she couldn't show any confusion or anxiety.
She ended the meeting happily and asked everyone to slowly savor the food Jiang Miao had prepared. She said, "The taste you experience when you've completed a task is different from the taste you experience when you're eating in a relaxed and enjoyable way. You can try it."
Everyone ate and chatted about random things.
The meeting ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of chatting.
Bai Ningning suddenly had an idea and made some chess and card props for them to play with.
Chu Ze and Chu Yuyan are still human. They can't eat much of the food in the underworld and are not very interested in it. They have consciously gone to the side to continue building the formation.
Bai Ningning drew the base formation, Chu Yuyan was responsible for placing the materials required by the drawing on the formation, and Chu Ze followed behind Bai Ningning, providing her with paint for drawing the formation at any time.
The old tree also followed her, wanting to ask her when he could leave.
When Bai Ningning turned around, she suddenly saw him and was a little surprised: "Why are you still here?"
Old Tree: “…”
His presence shouldn't be so low.
Bai Ningning warned, "Don't stay here, be careful of being transformed by the formation."
Old Tree: "When can I leave?"
"Don't you want to go get something to eat and drink?" Bai Ningning pointed at the group of ghosts who were having fun over there. "Go eat, drink, have fun, and rest for a while. Then you can leave anytime you want. If needed, you can also pack some for your men to take back. If it's not enough, ask Jiang Miao to make some more."
Shu Lao also wanted to play before, but he was a little disgusted. He felt that he was incompatible with these ghost officials. He did not volunteer to work for the underworld, but was forced by Bai Ningning.
Bai Ningning smiled and lied to the ghost: "They didn't work for me voluntarily, they were captured by me."
Old Tree: “…”
He knew that this person was a repeat offender!
The old tree suddenly shared a common hatred with the underworld officials who were attending the meeting. He joined their tea party in grief and anger, and even saw a few familiar faces... Oh no, familiar ghosts, such as Zhang Xi.
Chu Ze teased Bai Ningning: "Little King of Hell is quite nice to his people?"
Bai Ningning continued drawing the formation without even looking up, and replied, "Most of those who can become evil spirits have a tragic past, right?"
[The old tree is actually quite miserable]
He loved raising children, but all his descendants died before his eyes.
[Alas, how can anyone who appears here be happy? ]
Bai Ningning waved her hand in front of her eyes, trying to drive away the comments: "Don't be negative late at night, emotions are contagious."
Chu Ze was so amused by her that he threw his head back and laughed: "If you don't know, you would think there are mosquitoes in the underworld too."
Cheng Xiu and Ma Juan also wanted to come over to help, but Bai Ningning quickly dissuaded them: "No, no, no, it's a bit dangerous for you to go play with them."
Chu Yuyan seemed to be holding a grudge and said, "Well, stay away from here for a while. She can't distinguish between friend and foe when she electrocutes people."
Bai Ningning swore confidently, "There will definitely be no problem this time. I've done experiments and have set up an electrical isolation layer for you, just in case."
Chu Ze: "But are you sure it won't be the same as an electric wire? For example, the electricity follows the ghost energy and flows into the Wangchuan River."
Bai Ningning rested her hand on her chin, lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Chu Yuyan showed a deathly smile: "Didn't you think about it?"
[Do you still want to call the second brother 3533]
[My second brother finally managed to make his hair whiter, but if I apply more electricity, it will become blurry again.]
Let's find someone else to do this to! Second brother is already miserable enough.
"I was just kidding." Bai Ningning suddenly raised her head and smiled brightly. "I've thought about this a long time ago and have made preparations. I'm sure you won't be shocked."
The family of three was having a lot of fun drawing the formation.
On the other side, Shu Lao and Zhang Xi were originally fellow villagers meeting, with tears in their eyes; but after just a few words, their conversation turned sour, and it was more like enemies meeting, with red eyes on each other.
It was Shu Lao who started the conversation. He carefully avoided the others and asked, "Were you also forced to work for her?"
Zhang Xi nodded, his face pale - but ghosts' faces don't turn pale, so the old man didn't notice his emotional problems.
Zhang Xi lowered his head, his expression gloomy. "Is the Ghost Alliance really like they say, raising Gu? Has it harmed many ghosts?"
The old tree scoffed at this and said, "This is for a better future. Sacrifices are inevitable. They don't understand what we are doing at all."
"I don't understand either." Zhang Xi responded in a low voice, his emotions surging.
"What?"
Shu Lao didn't hear clearly what he said, so he took a piece of cake to eat. When he looked at him again, he realized something was wrong.
The only response he got was his fists.
Zhang Xi punched him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground. His expression was ferocious, and his ghostly aura was on the verge of exploding. He roared, "I don't understand. Why did the Ghost Alliance kill so many ghosts and still justify it by saying it was for the future? Why should those innocent ghosts be sacrificed for your future?!"
Jiang Miao didn't understand what was going on and was about to stop the fight, but was stopped by Cheng Xiu.
Cheng Xiu rarely smiled. She shook her head and said, "We are all victims of the Ghost Alliance."
When Bai Ningning heard the sound, she put down the work at hand. Seeing the two ghost swordsmen were about to fight, she picked up the old tree and threw it aside.
The way of mediating a fight is very unconventional, but effective.
"Sorry." Zhang Xi took the initiative to apologize to Bai Ningning.
He suddenly understood why so many ghosts he had seen in the Ghost Alliance before disappeared on the pretext of "business trip" and were never seen again.
If it’s gone, it’s really gone.
"Yeah," Bai Ningning replied calmly, not trying to persuade him, "Control your anger and don't let the resentment in the Wangchuan River lead you astray."
She smoothed things over lightly, as if she didn't care at all why they were fighting or whether they would fight again.
Zhang Xi's face was still quite gloomy, and he was on the verge of exploding.
This scene has been seen more or less by ghosts working in the underworld. It is a precursor to frenzy.
Zhang Xi: "Why would you want to recruit this kind of person as your subordinate?"
The old tree rolled on the ground, looking a little embarrassed. When he got up, he didn't dare to make any extra movements - Bai Ningning was still there.
Bai Ningning's words can decide his life or death, and can also decide what he will do next.
Bai Ningning said succinctly: "He is different from you. He is completely under my control."
As she spoke, she signaled Cheng Xiu, Jiang Miao and other female ghosts to move away, lest Zhang Xi really go berserk and hurt them.
Fan Wujiu wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Xie Bian. He whispered, "Trust the Little King of Hell. She can handle it. If you go over now, it will only exacerbate the conflict."
Fan Wujiu hesitated for a while, but finally took a small step forward to ensure Bai Ningning's absolute safety when necessary.
Chu Ze and Chu Yuyan had a fight over protection. Both of them wanted to protect the other behind themselves, but their hands bumped into each other. They both felt pain at the same time, but they both curled up the corners of their mouths because of tacit understanding.
Bai Ningning also knew that this was a sign of frenzy, but she did not show any negative expression of surprise or fear.
She suddenly laughed: "Because I am a very bad-hearted person. I like to catch disobedient villains, then control them and make them work for me for nothing."
What kind of villain statement is this?
[Zhang Xi was also shocked. How could Fei Si?]
A frenzied ghost will gradually lose its brain, or IQ.
Zhang Xi took a moment to digest her words before he slowly realized what she was saying and froze.
While he was stunned, the ghostly aura in his body instantly calmed down, as if it was stunned along with its master.
The other ghosts are not sure what happened
