In the Yuancheng office of the Xuan Committee, the core members gathered for a meeting.
"What's going on with all these ghosts?"
They came in a mighty and vigorous force, wave after wave, as if they were going to capture Yuancheng. However, they ended up being like a pile of loose sand, without any leadership. After meeting the people from the Xuan Committee, they flew around like headless flies.
There is no order at all, and it doesn't seem like it was premeditated.
Tang Bo rested his chin on his hand, looking at the reports coming in from various places, lost in thought, muttering to himself, "Could it be a feint to the east and attack in the west?"
The ghosts are not of high level, but there are many of them.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get to the bottom of the matter. Many ghosts exploded in a panic, catching the Xuan Committee off guard and injuring many people.
Tang Bo tapped the table with his knuckles and asked, "Do you think this matter is related to the Gate of Hell?"
These two things together are indeed strange.
Suddenly, the gates of the underworld opened in the middle of the night, and many evil spirits poured out of the underworld and into Yuancheng. Within two days, large numbers of evil spirits from other cities also flocked in.
Who would believe it if there is no conspiracy?
Lu Sifeng, the member in charge of liaison with the underworld, said, "It's hard to say. The underworld suspects the ghosts planned the opening of the gate to the underworld, and they're investigating."
Tang Bai snorted disdainfully. The underworld has been on the decline for almost twenty years. What can be found out from the investigation?
They worked hard to capture the ghosts and send them to the underworld, but there was chaos in the underworld and the ghosts escaped.
The underworld did not take any follow-up action on this matter. They just sent them the list of jailbreaks and asked them to catch them again.
Isn't this just pure hassle?
Who wouldn't feel resentful if they encountered such a thing?
Tang Bo curled his lips and asked again, "Do you have any clues about the purple ripples on the gate to the underworld?"
"I asked about that, too," Lu Sifeng quickly flipped through the report in his hand and found what he was looking for. "They said that when the King of Hell was suppressing the ghosts, he awakened a new ability. It's currently unstable, and the ghosts that disappeared were taken away by him. There's no need to worry."
"You're kidding me." Tang Bo obviously didn't believe it.
At that time, the ghost disappeared from his hand out of thin air, but the other ghosts that were fleeing nearby were fine.
It was obvious that there was a more powerful ghost who rescued the captured ghost from him.
The King of Hell knows that he has messed up, but he doesn't want to take responsibility, so he lies.
More than 20 years ago, it was obvious that the underworld had a new king, a useless one.
After being a loser for more than 20 years, he suddenly woke up. Who would believe it?
Do they think that all the people in the Xuan Committee are fools?
[The people in the Xuan Committee don't even know about the change of the King of Hell. Isn't this a huge misunderstanding?]
They wouldn't believe it even if I told them. Many of them already distrusted the Underworld. Besides, if they replaced the King of Hell with someone who's less than twenty years old, the Xuan Council would be furious and rush to the Underworld to seize power the next day.
[The biological father didn't tell Ningning mainly because he didn't want to, right? He was considering the child's feelings.]
[It should be to protect Ningning. Announcing that Ningning is the King of Hell is like setting up a living target. These things, who are not sure whether they are human or ghost, all go after Ningning.]
The Xuan Committee also wants to investigate the Goblin Alliance's purpose and the purple ripples. How can they possibly find out? If Ning Ning doesn't reveal it, they'll never figure it out.
Even if the ghost told them that he came for Ningning, they wouldn't believe it. This excuse is too ridiculous.
The discussion in the barrage was in full swing. Bai Ningning watched the excitement for a long time and thought that he was constantly being scammed before he even announced his identity as the King of Hell.
Ma Juan's family followed her by force, and the Book of the Four Seasons of the Hell Realm in her bag was also a scam against her.
Even Qinghuai is a scammer!
Bai Ningning sighed slightly and thought it would be better not to reveal her identity so that she would have some way out.
The crux of the problem now is that there is a serious information gap between the Xuan Committee and the Yama Palace. Both sides are racking their brains and running around for unnecessary things.
"We've arrived." Chu Xisen reminded her, fully armed with a mask, hat and sunglasses.
Bai Ningning: “…”
It's still summer in coastal cities, and your outfit may be more eye-catching than your face.
Chu Xisen also put a baseball cap on her head and handed her the mask: "You put it on too."
Bai Ningning said "Oh" reluctantly and followed him.
Not many people come to Dancheng this season, and only a few dozen people get off the bus.
So when they were leaving the station, Geng Yiyi, who was picking someone up, saw them at a glance.
Geng Yiyi changed her appearance and mercilessly mocked Chu Xisen: "Your taste is too poor, isn't it? What an ugly hat! Ningning and I will go shopping together later, and we can change into a nicer one."
Chu Xisen sneered: "You know nothing, our return rate is very high."
Geng Yiyi: "Dressed like a thief, how can you not attract lots of attention?"
Bai Ningning didn't listen to them at all, and walked straight towards the hotel, saying, "While you guys are arguing, I need to go to the underworld."
Geng Yiyi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I want to..."
Bai Ningning interrupted directly: "He's not here."
Geng Yiyi could only regretfully compromise: "Okay then, go quickly and come back soon, I won't follow you."
Chu Ze was looking through the revised information on the distribution of ghosts in the underworld. When he found that Bai Ningning had come, he looked up in confusion and stared at her for a long time.
When Ma Juan, her mother and her two daughters saw her coming, they stopped the paperwork at hand. The two daughters stared at her indifferently. They had not had much contact with her before, so they were too embarrassed to approach her and get close to her.
Ma Juan enthusiastically offered her a cup of tea.
Chu Ze quickly stopped her: "She can't drink this tea, she is still a living soul."
Ma Juan took the teacup back with a drooping brow. She had nothing else to share with Bai Ningning, and she couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
Bai Ningning said softly, "Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. You guys continue with your work."
Chu Ze held a red plant that looked like a mutant foxtail grass in his mouth and mumbled, "Why are you here at this hour?"
Bai Ningning asked: "Why did you give me the Yanjie Four Seasons Chart?"
Chu Ze seemed unaware of this and paused for a moment before speaking: "Xiao Can and Xiao Yan gave this to you. They used it as a graffiti book when they were kids. It has no spiritual power, so anything they draw on it disappears after a while. It saves money and worry."
Bai Ningning was speechless for a while, but the comment section burst into laughter and everyone started to make jokes.
[Poor Man's Way of Raising a Baby (Not)]
If he is rich, he can't even afford a graffiti book for his child; but if he is poor, he will use rare treasures to draw for his child.
[A very rich poor guy~]
Chu Ze said casually, "Don't scribble on it. What you draw won't disappear. You can use it as a summoning atlas and transfer the ghosts you raise to the Four Seasons Chart. They can move freely without any restrictions. Of course, as long as you summon them, they will still teleport to your side."
Bai Ningning's emphasis is on this "unlimited range". Currently, the ghosts following her basically cannot stay too far away from her. Even if they are placed in the underworld to work, she has to come every few days.
Okay, that's kind of useful.
Bai Ningning complained about her choice of words: "What do you mean by a ghost I 'raise'?"
Chu Ze didn't expect that she didn't even know basic common sense. He looked up at her and explained slowly, "Ghosts don't stay in the human world for long. They're either devoured by other ghosts or become insane and become vengeful ghosts. Even if there are ghosts that survive, their souls will gradually fade away over time. They stay by your side, consuming your spiritual energy to maintain their normal state. If they're not raised by you, what are they?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ningning looked at Cheng Yun. He was indeed much more pleasing to the eye than when she first picked him up. If you must say, he seemed more human now.
The moment she looked over, the other person raised his head, smiled slightly, and nodded in thanks.
Bai Ningning nodded and said to Chu Ze, "There were a lot of ghosts in Yuancheng last night."
Chu Ze: "I know that. They told me."
Bai Ningning's expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "I'm the one who brought this upon myself."
Chu Ze was so frightened that the dogtail grass in his mouth fell out. He was stunned for a while, not bothering to pick it up. He asked hurriedly: "Why did you attract them here——"
He realized that his tone was a bit fierce, so he paused, then deliberately softened his tone and spoke again: "This action is a bit dangerous. Can you tell me the reason?"
Bai Ningning explained calmly, "It wasn't intentional. Someone took a picture of me, and the ghosts saw it, so they came."
She did intentionally have someone take her picture and post it online, just to make the people in Qingwei Mountain let down their guard and mistakenly think that she was unaware of the danger and was still playing around without any scruples.
But I didn't expect that just one photo would attract so many ghosts.
Or perhaps it was the previous variety show that made many ghosts stare at her through the screen.
Chu Ze was silent for a while, then asked, "Where did you offend so many ghosts?"
Besides, didn't she act like she was afraid of ghosts? Her ability to draw hatred from ghosts made him, who had been beating ghosts in the underworld for nineteen years, feel ashamed.
Bai Ningning: "I've been like this since I was a child, I'm used to it. Anyway, there's no need to look for reasons for the Yuancheng incident. I've already left Yuancheng. It's up to you whether you want to tell the Xuan Committee or not."
She left right after she finished speaking, leaving no time for Chu Ze to react, nor for Ma Juan and her family of three to say goodbye.
Cheng Xiu looked at the direction she disappeared in and sighed: "I haven't said hello to her yet..."
Chu Ze frowned, picked up the dogtail grass on the ground, and asked Ma Juan: "What did she mean by 'get used to it'?"
Ma Juan shook her head to indicate that she was not aware of the situation. After all, it had only been a short time since she started to blame Ning Ning for the scam.
Chu Ze returned to his depressed power-saving mode and sighed, "The bloodline of the King of Hell is really good. I don't even have to patrol the streets. The troublesome ghosts will automatically come to me. I don't even want to patrol the streets—"
Patrolling the streets every day is very tiring.
Chu Ze stretched and stood up to patrol the streets.
Ma Juan asked quietly, "Does Ningning dislike us?"
After learning about the purpose of the Four Seasons Chart of the Hell Realm, it seemed that he had no intention of transferring them to the Four Seasons Chart.
Chu Ze raised his lips and said, "If you are not on the score, you still have a chance to reincarnate. She just doesn't want to restrict you."
Being too soft-hearted doesn't make you fit to be the King of Hell.
Chu Ze sighed and walked out with a dogtail grass in his mouth: "Thank you for your hard work, I'm going to go out and patrol the streets."
"But I don't really want to be reborn. Working under Ningning is also good."
Cheng Xiu picked up the teacup and brought it to her mouth. The bottom of their tea was the same as the red dogtail grass in Chu Ze's mouth. It was called red velvet grass in the underworld. It could help ghosts stabilize their three souls and seven spirits, and also refresh their minds.
She sighed: "I feel a little irritated when I drink a sip. Can Mr. Chu actually chew it raw?"
Cheng Yun said calmly, "He has been in the underworld for many years."
She stayed with Bai Ningning for a long time. Without Bai Ningning noticing, she had gradually become like a ghost that had died normally. Even her voice, which had been hoarse for a long time, had returned to normal.
Find an opportunity to thank her next time.
Bai Ningning opened her eyes and found that the ceiling of the hotel was the same as before she went to the underworld.
Geng Yiyi had been standing by her side the entire time. Seeing her open her eyes, she was slightly surprised: "You're back so soon?"
Bai Ningning: "Well, just a little thing."
She lay in bed for a while, not wanting to move.
Geng Yiyi asked, "I've already done some research on the Ghost Alliance for you. Do you want to go there in person? It's better to go during the day than at night."
Bai Ningning asked casually: "Do you eat my spiritual power?"
Geng Yiyi was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, immediately proving her innocence: "Absolutely not, I'm very self-disciplined! I feed on the admiration of others. Those who are eaten by me will become emotionally cold, so I usually only eat bad people."
Bai Ningning responded lightly and shook her left hand. The sound of the bell was crisp and pleasant.
She asked, "What's the use of this bell?"
It was Lingling herself who hit her left hand.
Geng Yiyi shook her head. "I don't know either, but he saved my life with this. Do you want me to tell you the love story between him and me?"
Bai Ningning: "...No."
If the other person doesn’t even remember you, where does the love come from? Where does the story come from?
Bai Ningning only complained in her heart and did not expose the other party.
She stared at the palm of her left hand. The bell seemed to understand her thoughts. She couldn't detect it at other times, but it would make a sound only when she shook it deliberately.
Forget it, I’ll ask Fan Wujiu next time I catch him.
Bai Ningning stood up and said, "Let's go and check out their lair."
"You have to go by yourself. I'm a demon, so I'll be easily discovered." Geng Yiyi took out a map and circled the foot of a mountain. "This is an unfinished building. It's been unattended for almost ten years. Last year, the real estate developer was going to pick it up and continue working on it, but gave up because it was haunted."
She took out her iPad and showed her photos. "First, familiarize yourself with the terrain. If you go in through this entrance, they'll hardly patrol the area, but they'll have people on the lookout. If anyone passes through, a cold wind will immediately blow and scare them away."
Geng Yiyi gave her a brief introduction, handed her a jade pendant, and said, "This must be worn on your chest. It can help you hide your aura."
Geng Yiyi reminded him again and again: "We're just scouting the area. Just pretend you don't see them. They might be deliberately testing you or bumping into you head-on. Just walk through them and nothing will happen."
Bai Ningning: “…”
The biggest problem may be that she is afraid of ghosts.
Is it necessary to step on this point?
Bai Ningning asked herself this question.
Forget it. In order to retire early and not have to deal with ghosts in the future, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn.
Bai Ningning gritted her teeth and constantly prepared herself mentally along the way, and finally arrived at the unfinished building.
The headquarters of the Ghost Alliance.
She took a deep breath and looked at the building in front of her that was filled with black air. The building was only half built and was made of reinforced concrete. On it hung a red banner that had gradually turned yellow and faded due to wind and sun. The words "Warm Celebration" could be vaguely seen. The words below were either blown over by the wind or deliberately changed in direction by a ghost, and were twisted into pieces.
She walked in as if nothing had happened, and as Geng Yiyi said, a ghost was walking towards her.
She looked straight ahead, pretending not to see, and prepared to pass through.
With a "pang", he bumped into a ghost.
Bai Ningning: “…”
The ghost that was knocked away by her: "..."
The ghost looked at her with increasing fear, and scrambled back into the unfinished building. "Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert! A super powerful guy is here to challenge us!"
The whole room was filled with black air, which rushed towards her after hearing the sound.
Bai Ningning: “…”
Help! Why is this different from what we agreed on? QAQ!
