As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
"Heh, you coward, how can you be so timid?"
Ye Dongfeng heard his pleas for mercy, so he let him go. Then he called to his colleagues who were still playing cards and said, "Hey, stop playing, I've caught a ghost."
That's right. While Ye Dongfeng was out catching ghosts, everyone else was still playing cards. Even the cards that Ye Dongfeng had left behind were picked up by Mu Xiaoyi, who said she would help him continue playing.
Upon hearing Ye Dongfeng's shout, Ya Zi didn't even look up. He simply threw down a card and said, "Two of Clubs, alright, we understand. Bring the ghost over first, we'll interrogate him after we finish this round."
Mu Xiaoyi also said, "That's right, that's right. This ghost is really something. We were almost done fighting, why did it have to come out at this time? It really doesn't know how to pick its time. A pair of Aces, it's your turn, Jiu Ling."
Yue Jiuling was also looking at her cards. She had a pair of royal flushes and a 9 in her hand. After looking at Bai Xinyu's hand, which had five or six cards left, she threw out the pair of royal flushes: "Royal flush, hehe, East Wind. You can interrogate him after you catch him. We're almost done playing. You can wait a little longer."
Ye Dongfeng watched his colleagues still playing, feeling extremely helpless and a little unhappy. He wanted to play too, but he couldn't go back to playing cards now because he had caught the ghost. So he vented his anger on the male ghost, saying, "What kind of ghost are you? Why are you here? If you don't answer properly, I'll beat you to death!"
The male ghost sensed the presence of the group from afar and knew they were not ordinary people, so he honestly said, "I, I'm just a resident here, not some bad ghost."
"If you're not a bad ghost, why are you out scaring people at night? Tell me, did you create those shadowy figures here recently? And why are you hurting the employees here?"
Ye Dongfeng glared angrily at the male ghost, and relying on his ability to touch ghosts, he reached out to hit the male ghost's head: "You better confess honestly, or I'll beat you to death!"
"No, no, no, I'll talk, please don't hit me!"
The male ghost, covered in bumps from being beaten, cried and said, "It wasn't me! I rarely come out. The one who injured the staff here wasn't me, it was another ghost!"
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
At this moment, Yue Jiuling had already won the poker game. She asked Bai Xinyu, who had lost, to tidy up the cards, and then went over to Ye Dongfeng and said, "Tell me everything you know."
"It really wasn't me, it was another ghost, an outsider ghost. They've been really into coming here lately..."
The ghost, clutching his head, recounted recent events: "There aren't many ghosts left in this cemetery. Those with money have all gone to the underworld to queue up, or bought houses to live in. There aren't many left living here. But for some reason, some ghosts from outside came here recently. They forced us to come out of the tomb, then took us to do things, and even had meetings here. That employee was also injured by them; it has nothing to do with us."
"Do you know who they are?"
The hidden group had already finished their poker game. He came over and said, "You said you didn't have many ghosts here, but there should have been a few, right? How come you're the only one left now?"
"Oh, that's because they were all taken away last night. I deliberately ran away from the cemetery and hid last night, otherwise I would have been taken away too. It's just strange, in the past, everyone who was taken away would be brought back by dawn, why weren't they brought back this time?"
The male ghost said, also feeling frustrated, "Those ghosts are very strange and powerful. They take us away and say they're going to do some work, but once we get there, we lose all consciousness. When we come back, we still can't remember what we did."
"Oh, I see. Do you remember what those ghosts looked like?"
Hearing the male ghost's words, Mu Xiaoyi frowned. She said, "There are very few people in the mortal world who seek help from ghosts. What kind of ghost could they have encountered this time?"
Ya Zi thought for a moment and said, "Could it be some kind of unscrupulous factory that can't afford to hire workers, so they secretly hire ghosts?"
"Well, while the possibility is a bit low, it's not impossible..."
Yue Jiuling said quietly from the side.
