Chapter 35 35 This world has just one more person who has a bad ending...

Wen Lanzhi finally made the decision and left it alone.

If she had made up her mind to leave, then this tea shop would belong to Xuezhi in the future, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Xuezhi.

However, if Xuezhi also decides to leave, she will strongly support her.

After being here for so many years, how could she not know that there was no future in staying here, and most importantly, there was no money to be made.

Not long after, the demon came.

Demonic officials are officials in the demon realm who are specifically responsible for dealing with rebellious ghosts and monsters. After death, demons, like humans, must journey to the underworld, cross the bridge, and reincarnate. If their resentment is too strong, they become ghosts. They can either go to the underworld on their own to be liberated, or be captured by demonic officials and taken to the ghost realm, where the ghost realm will have its own way of dealing with them.

However, in recent years, the control of the demon world has become increasingly strict. The guardian gods do not allow the demon world to connect with the outside world, let alone leave the world without permission. Anyone who wants to leave the world must submit a letter of reason, which will be reviewed by the handover officer of the demon world. After review, it will be handed over to the guardian gods for review. If there is a problem with the letter of reason, not only will the person who wrote the letter be executed, but the handover officer will also be held accountable. Therefore, no matter what the reason, the handover officer will reject it.

The demon messenger sent the ghosts to the ghost world, but it was considered "unnecessary" by the guardian spirit. So the demon messenger had no choice but to find an open space and put these resentful ghosts together. Later, he found out that they were raising poisonous insects, so he separated them and locked them up again.

The ghosts in the demon world have not had a good end for many years.

When the demon came, Wu Ci Yan did not stay in the backyard to hide for the first time, but stood at the door and watched quietly.

Wen Lanzhi was tidying up the tea set. She looked up and saw him standing there. For some reason, she felt that his back looked a little lonely.

She asked, "Want some tea?"

Wu Ciyan didn't answer for a while, then said, "No, thank you."

"Master!" Xuezhi came back jogging to get the news. "The demon officer didn't catch the ghost. He said the ghost might have escaped on its own."

Wen Lanzhi was not surprised, "The ghost messengers have been getting more and more perfunctory in their work these days."

Xuezhi said, "It's still someone who is... in charge." He omitted a few words, but no one in the room didn't know what he was talking about.

Wu Ciyan said, "There are only a few families around here, where can we hide?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them looked at her, and Xuezhi tensed up.

Wen Lanzhi said: "It could be someone else's family, or it could be ours."

After she finished speaking, she put down the tea set in her hand and said, "No, we have to take care of it! It will be troublesome if he hides in our house."

At that time, it will not be a question of whether you want to leave or not, but whether you want to live or not.

Wu Ciyan curled up the corners of his lips and took a sip of the tea on the table. He spit it out after just taking a sip and put the tea away.

It's really rare to drink such a bad tea.

He suggested that Boss Wen stop selling tea and just sell water.

People are willing to pay two cents for her tea, so she can definitely sell water for three cents.

Wu Ciyan asked, "Boss Wen, do you have any regular customers in your store?"

Wen Lanzhi said, "No. Our shop is right at the city gate. People are coming and going in and out of the city. Who has the time to come here for tea every day?"

Wu Ci Yan nodded. Fortunately, the restaurant was located at the city gate. If it was located in a busy area, there would be no regular customers and there would be no reason for it to fail.

The demon guard sealed the entire room, so if they wanted to get in, they could only find a way to sneak in at night.

There was no need to sneak in quietly. The ghost had already fled, so it was definitely not in that room. The demon officer sealed the room, making it impossible for the ghost to enter. It was originally escaping, but now it was forced to flee.

Wen Lanzhi commented, "This is no longer perfunctory, this is brainless. He receives his monthly salary but doesn't even bother to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine to heal his brain."

"Hey~ Even though you are too smart, you still can't get into the Demonic Police Department." Wu Ci Yan said.

Wen Lanzhi asked, "What do you mean?"

Wu Ciyan said, "The position of demon messenger is no longer selected through martial arts examinations. It is passed down from generation to generation. They directly look for people in the family tree. Each family has a limited number of places. Wouldn't those stupid kids who are not smart enough to survive be selected first? Those with brains will not get a chance."

Wen Lanzhi pondered: "...It seems to make sense."

The demon messenger used to be very powerful, but since being banned from contact with the ghost world, it has become a nominal position, with no responsibilities, but the monthly salary is still paid. Everyone knows that demon messengers have no future, but they can get paid. Those with a little ambition and a desire to contribute will not try to become demon messengers.

At night, the footsteps sounded again.

Wen Lanzhi jumped up from the bed and pricked up her ears.

She said, "Why do I hear the voices still next door? Didn't they leave?"

Xuezhi said, "It sounds like next door to me too."

Wen Lanzhi: "...Isn't he coming towards us?"

Xuezhi: “…”

I really don’t know whether it’s a good time or a bad time.

The footsteps stopped and did not cross the wall.

"Oh..." Wen Lanzhi suddenly realized, "The demon has sealed the house, she can't get in."

Those brainless people actually did something serious by accident.

Xuezhi said, "The demon thought there was nothing left in the room. I guess the seal here will never be broken. Doesn't that mean she will be trapped in this room forever?"

He had a happy look on his face, and Wen Lanzhi knew what he was going to say.

Their original intention was to prevent ghosts from running around and disturbing the teahouse. Now that the ghosts have been sealed, they will not be able to escape, so the problem has been solved and they will not be disturbed anymore.

There was only one more ghost in the world who hadn't had a good ending. But he had killed so many people, so he wasn't going to have a good ending anyway.

"I've committed enough sins." Wu Ciyan didn't add a subject, but everyone knew who he was talking about.

That group of "people" whose residence is not on the ground and cannot be mentioned.

"Yes, there are enough, this one is not a big deal." Xuezhi continued.

He said and looked towards his master.

Silence fermented in the room.

Wen Lanzhi was the first to break the silence, "It seems... there's nothing we can do about it. The house is sealed, and we don't know if we can get out once we go in. If we get caught by the demon, we might even lose our lives."

"I have a solution." Wu Ci Yan continued.

Both of them looked at him.

Wu Ciyan said, "I have a way to get in and out."

Wen Lanzhi turned her head and came face to face with the face on the wall, almost kissing it.

She gasped, stumbled backward, and nearly cried out.

A face suddenly popped out from the wall, at the same height as her, with two empty eyes looking at it. The wall paint gradually fell off, revealing her original face.

She tilted her head, imitating the action Wen Lanzhi often did.

Horrifying! So horrifying! Not cute at all!

Xuezhi wanted to chop her neck with a sword, but was blocked by Wu Ciyan.

Wu Ci Yan was so fast that Xue Zhi couldn't see clearly what he was holding in his hand. The blade flashed and she was thrown to the ground.

The ghost face had no eyes and uttered a sinister "Help" from its throat. Then, it slowly retreated from the wall, leaving nothing behind. The wall was intact, and everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

Wen Lanzhi blinked twice, stood up, and stepped back, hiding behind Wu Ci Yan.

Wu Ciyan said with a smile: "You let someone who doesn't know martial arts hide in front, is that reasonable?"

Wen Lanzhi: "..." She was not blind. Xuezhi had studied with her for so long. Even if her skills were not profound, she could not be blocked by someone who didn't know martial arts.

She ignored Wu Ciyan and asked, "Is that ghost face asking for help?"

"Who's asking for help?" Xuezhi was still in shock. "She's asking us for help? Should we go and save her?"

Wu Ciyan pointed to the spot where the face had just appeared and said, "She looks quite like you."

"Are you blind?" Xuezhi said without thinking.

Wen Lanzhi recalled for a moment and tilted her head, "Are you talking about this action?"

Wu Ciyan nodded. He had only known Wen Lanzhi for two days, but he had seen her do this several times. She tilted her head very slowly, as if thinking. If he didn't know her, he probably wouldn't be able to do it so well.

Wu Ciyan concluded: "She knows you."

Wen Lanzhi shook her head repeatedly, "I don't have any female ghost friends."

Wu Ciyan said, "I knew him when he was alive."

"Before he died..." Wen Lanzhi pondered for a long time, "I don't remember. If he lived nearby, then he had a grudge against this neighbor? Is he seeking revenge after his death?"

She subconsciously wanted to tilt her head, but the ghost face on the wall appeared in her mind again. She quickly turned her head back and shuddered.

She said, "I don't know if they have any enemies, but they're all very honest. Well... I can guarantee they wouldn't kill or burn anything."

"Then let's go and take a look." Wu Ci Yan didn't comment on her promise. He didn't want to waste any more time here, so he kicked his feet and climbed onto the wall.

The other two people couldn't stop him, he flipped over in no time.

His move threw the other two people into disarray and forced them to take action as well. Some took ladders, some took swords, and they climbed up the wall in a chaotic manner.

Ta-da-da, ta-da-da.

As we got closer, the sound became clearer.

Bang!

Something fell down.

Wen Lanzhi hurriedly turned around and saw nothing. It seemed that something in the house had fallen.

"Young Master!" Wen Lanzhi lowered her voice and shouted.

Knock, knock, knock! The door knocked three times, as if responding to Wen Lanzhi's call. She looked back at Xuezhi who was following closely behind her and was about to come down, gestured to him to stop, trotted forward and knocked on the door.

The door was open a crack, revealing a dark and messy scene.

She flicked her lower lip twice, hesitating whether to go in.

"Why are you standing there?" Wu Ci Yan opened the door completely.

Wen Lanzhi first took a step back following the sound, then breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly, and took another step forward, "Sir, what are you doing?"

Wu Ciyan raised the rattle in his hand and said, "A box fell down, and this is inside."

Wen Lanzhi took it, turned left twice, bang, turned right twice, bang.

Bang, bang, bang.

She chuckled.

Wu Ciyan also laughed, "Fun?"

Wen Lanzhi nodded, "Yeah." When she was little, she wanted her mother to buy her a teapot, but she scolded her for being ungrateful. Later, when she grew up, she wanted to buy one for herself, but the tea shop business was not doing well, so she didn't waste the money on it.

Bang, bang, bang, she turned twice more.

Wu Ci Yan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Bang, bang, bang.

The rattle was held firmly in the hand and was not moved.

Bang, bang, bang.

She broke out in a cold sweat and looked in the direction of the sound, which was on the top of the wall.

I saw Xuezhi knocking on the bricks on the wall silently, "bang bang" "bang bang".

"Sorry, sorry." Wen Lanzhi hurried forward and held the ladder.

While holding onto the ladder, she turned her head and looked at Wu Ciyan, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Wu Ciyan said, "Oh, this rattle fell down suddenly. I think it has something to do with that female ghost."

Bang, bang, bang.

The rattle was thrown out, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and landed steadily in Wu Ci Yan's hands.

Wu Ci Yan turned twice, bang, bang, bang.

Wen Lanzhi took turns holding the ladder and rubbed it against her body again and again, "No more." It seemed that she was destined not to have a rattle of her own.
