Chapter 95: Running out of energy



Cheng Yun finally realized that it was extremely unreasonable to ask Bai Ningning to create something out of thin air just by giving her a network design drawing.

While Bai Ningning was still there, she quickly made another design for her, and finally built the local area network inside the Palace of Yama overnight.

Xie Bian provided technical support: "There are two types of ghost detection devices. One is for the ghost catcher's own use. It's not very sensitive, but it's cost-effective. The other type requires the Little King of Hell to charge. It's highly sensitive, but..."

Bai Ningning gave a typical smile, but with a forced smile on her face: "I feel like I'm just a charging station."

I don’t know who made the word “charging” popular, but Bai Ningning feels that she comes to work in the underworld every day just to recharge them.

Fancy charging.

Cheng Xiu joked, "Think positively, maybe it's Pikachu?"

Bai Ningning: “…”

Cheng Yun's program ran out of a lot of BUG warnings.

Bai Ningning took a look and sat back silently, feeling that sitting here for a whole night might not be enough for her to write the program.

Cheng Yun didn't even type, just looked at it for about ten minutes and changed only one place - then a miracle happened, all the errors that had just filled the screen disappeared.

"Ningning." Cheng Yun showed her the results. "Alright, the trial run was successful."

Bai Ningning: "Ah? Weren't there a lot of errors just now?"

Cheng Yun: "That's how programming works. A small mistake can lead to countless errors. Just fix it."

On the other side, under the command of Fan Wujiu, the ghost officials released ghost detection devices in various areas.

Small dots of different colors lit up one after another on the map on the computer screen.

Cheng Yun explained, "I've set it up based on the colors in your area. Red with a hint of black indicates areas with heavy ghost energy, bright red is second, blue indicates areas with less serious but suspected ghosts, green indicates a small amount of ghost energy, and white indicates undetected areas."

Xie Bian looked at the map that was gradually filled with color blocks, and was overwhelmed with emotions.

Technology really saves a lot of trouble. He said, "As long as the ghost messengers replenish the detection equipment regularly, it will be a great help. Thank you."

Bai Ningning was so sleepy that she looked dazed. She yawned and asked, "So, is my work for today done?"

Cheng Xiu wondered, "Is the energizing tea completely useless to you?"

"It's hard to say. Let's see tomorrow." Bai Ningning waved her hand. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going back to sleep."

"You've worked hard, take a good rest."

Seeing that the little King of Hell was so trapped, the others didn't want to force him to stay.

After Bai Ningning returned home, she fell asleep immediately without any buffer.

I woke up at exactly eight o'clock, naturally. I didn't feel tired at all and my mind was fully rested.

Bai Ningning thought about her condition yesterday. Logically, a spirit wouldn't feel sleepy or yawn - these were physiological reactions that only humans have, not things that the soul should have.

She looked at her face in the mirror and it was very white, without anything strange.

Very good, perfect start to the day.

When Bai Ningning went downstairs, her two brothers were discussing the teddy bear on the dining table.

Chu Hanzhou noticed it first and was stunned for a moment when he saw it.

Chu Yuyan: "A limited edition doll from your restaurant?"

Chu Hanzhou: "Yes, it should be the one I gave to Ningning before. I didn't expect she still kept it."

Bai Ningning happened to come downstairs at this time and said, "Since we're eating with the bear, we should put it here."

Chu Hanzhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Although the concept of this set of dolls was indeed to accompany meals, few people actually put them on the dining table.

Most of the time I just accompany them to have a meal in a restaurant, and after I get home I put them in a display cabinet to keep them forever.

"And... where's Dad?"

Bai Ningning is not used to the change of address yet.

Chu Hanzhou: "He said he felt unwell and didn't want to eat."

Bai Ningning felt something was wrong when she heard it, and ran upstairs to see what was going on.

Before she could knock, Chu Ze opened the door impatiently: "Calling for the soul so early in the morning?"

Bai Ningning saw that he looked normal and didn't look sick, so she said, "I'm just about to call back my soul."

"You were so noisy coming upstairs." Chu Ze covered his stomach and pretended to be weak. "It's nothing else. I just haven't eaten in a long time. My digestive system is not good. I ate too much all of a sudden and my stomach is uncomfortable."

It's all because of the old father's poor health, which scared the children so much.

[You can't completely stop eating, it's even worse to be hungry]

[I can’t sleep at this time, hurry up and catch my old father to have some fun]

The atmosphere in the barrage was quite relaxed, and there were no words related to "warning", which proved that there was nothing serious.

Bai Ningning's heart sank back into her stomach, and she said, "Then come down and eat something easily digestible."

"Okay, okay." Chu Ze followed out reluctantly with a smile on his face.

Chu Yuyan looked at his eldest brother and asked, "Are you guys all being really hypocritical?"

His two sons were just kicked out, and now they are acting so easy to talk to?

Bai Ningning said to Chu Ze, "I'm going to the Xuan Council in a while. If necessary, I might need Geng Yiyi to pretend to be you. So it's best if you don't show up today."

"Okay, got it." Chu Ze responded lazily.

When Bai Ningning arrived at the Xuanwei's temporary residence, Lu Sifeng came out to greet her.

Bai Ningning smiled and said, "I didn't know who you wanted to invite, so the underworld sent me."

"I'm not specifically looking to invite anyone." Lu Sifeng also smiled politely, avoiding the trap in his words. "But we do want to meet the man who saved Mr. Jun and the man who sent the Yun family father and son here. Are they the same person?"

Bai Ningning: "Hmm? What do you want to see her for?"

Lu Sifeng sincerely lowered his stance and said, "I'd like to ask about a loophole in our defenses. The Underworld's ghost messengers have repeatedly bypassed our protective formations and sent people directly into the Xuan Council. We're a little uneasy... Of course, it's not that I have any objections to the Underworld."

internal?

Bai Ningning expressed her doubts. Didn’t she leave the person at the door?

The Xuan Committee also has formations?

Ningning, moving in and out freely as if she were alone, without even realizing it.

[Xuan Council: Huh? Is our formation just for show?]

Ningning: Huh? You guys still have formations?

Bai Ningning: “…”

I'm really sorry for taking the back door. I'll be careful next time.

She coughed lightly and said, "I'll ask for you later. Where are they?"

Lu Sifeng: "According to the requirements of the underworld, the Yun family father and son and Mr. Jun are cared for separately, and neither side is aware of the other's existence."

Bai Ningning: "Is Mr. Jun awake? I want to see him first."

"not yet."

Bai Ningning said "Oh" and immediately changed her mind: "Then let's meet the Yun family father and son first."

When Bai Ningning arrived, Yun Youshun was feeding Yun Xian medicine. The latter looked very haggard and skinny, with arms and legs so thin that they looked like skin and bones, as if he would die in the next second.

The black ghost handprint left on his neck had not disappeared at all, and it looked quite creepy.

Tang Bo was standing at the door. The two sides greeted each other, but Bai Ningning could sense that he was a little hostile towards her.

"You're here." Yun Youshun just glanced at Bai Ningning and continued to feed her medicine. There was no light in his eyes, as if he had lost hope.

Compared to before, he looked much more haggard, his hair had lost its luster like dead grass, and his face was grayish yellow, as if he had aged twenty years overnight.

Bai Ningning: "Chat for a few words."

Yun Xian made a "Yiya" sound, which sounded like the sound of a dead tree falling to the ground.

His voice was ruined, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak at all.

Bai Ningning got goosebumps and said, "Just take good care of yourself and don't talk."

Yun Youshun's voice was a little hoarse, and he asked in a low voice: "What do you want to talk about?"

Bai Ningning: "I want to know, are you really arguing, or are you faking it in order to get him to join the Ghost Alliance as an undercover agent?"

Yun Youshun's face visibly turned gray. He said, "We did have a real argument, but it was also about getting him into the Goblin Alliance."

He sighed deeply, tears in his eyes: "It's my fault, I didn't tell him the truth..."

Bai Ningning continued to ask calmly, "Why are you so persistent in sending him to the Ghost Alliance?"

Yun Youshun: "This organization is very dangerous. We need its intelligence, and so does the underworld. Someone has to make sacrifices."

"Got it." Bai Ningning nodded calmly, "Do you have anything else to say? If Yun Xian can move, you can write it down."

Yun Youshun shook his head, then suddenly spoke firmly, "Please destroy the Ghost Alliance. This organization is extremely dangerous. The Yun family may not be able to provide any help, so please be careful..."

Yun Xian raised his hand to take the paper, but suddenly his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Call a doctor!"

After a while, medical staff rushed into the room and Bai Ningning retreated silently.

Yun Youshun held Yun Xian's hand anxiously, tears all over his face.

Bai Ningning sighed and left silently.

She felt a little heavy-hearted.

When I went to Mr. Jun's room, he was still in a coma.

The doctor told her that the old man was at the end of his life and might never wake up again.

Bai Ningning said nothing and asked them to leave. She stayed alone in the room and was quiet for about half a minute before she said, "Grandpa, stop pretending. I fed you red velvet grass, so you won't die anytime soon."

The old man on the bed has weak breathing. If you put an electrocardiogram next to him, I'm afraid the fluctuations will be pitifully weak.

Mr. Jun's soul slowly floated up and floated in front of Bai Ningning, with a gleam in his eyes: "I knew there was something wrong with you, little girl."

Bai Ningning: "I'm afraid it's not my fault."

Old Master Jun sighed, "I know you're here to settle a score with me. It was you who broke the Soul Transformation Formation at Qingwei Mountain, right?"

Bai Ningning didn't answer, and Old Master Jun didn't care. He continued, "Our ancestors did wrong to the Ji family, and we are all sinners, but our generation is truly thinking about the metaphysical world and seeking benefits for the human world."

Bai Ningning: "Using other people's flesh and blood to benefit the world? Isn't that ridiculous?"

Mr. Jun shook his head: "No matter what we do, there will be bloodshed and sacrifice. This is also our helpless move, but the truth is not exactly what you think."

Bai Ningning: "I did speculate before that the previous King of Hell discovered the Soul Transformation Formation and wanted to destroy it, but you conspired to kill him."

"Although I feel bad about this." Mr. Jun's spirit was already dissipating, "but the cause of the previous King of Hell's death was not us."

Bai Ningning was quite calm, which was consistent with her current speculation. She ignored the old man's condition and said expressionlessly, "One last question, where did the souls of the Jun family go?"

Old Master Jun smiled peacefully without answering, letting the soul dissipate without any hurry, as if he had known this day would come.

The soul dissipated in front of Bai Ningning's eyes, and finally a little bit remained, which turned into a light blue, translucent butterfly and flew out of the window.

Bai Ningning leaned on the windowsill and flipped out neatly, wanting to see where it went.

After the butterfly flew over the wall, it flew faster and faster and disappeared in a short while.

But the direction it disappeared in was very familiar to Bai Ningning - Qingwei Mountain.

This spirit butterfly was heading towards the spirit transformation formation.
