"Xiao Guang! How could you bring a human trafficker home?!" Mother You screamed. "What happened to you?"
Mr. You, being quick-witted, glared at you and demanded, "You...you can see that too? Who are you people?! Please leave my house immediately!"
He was terrified, afraid that the two men had come to ruin their lives.
Although I'm dead, my soul still remains in this world. It's not bad to be able to 'live' like this, where I can order takeout, watch TV, and not even need to go out. It's a unique kind of comfort.
He was extremely satisfied!
The only thing that made him unhappy was not being able to touch his son. All the things he had done over the years had suddenly been put on hold and could no longer be carried out, and he was itching to do them.
Wu Yue tilted her head slightly, a wicked smile playing on her lips.
"We'll collect your corpses and send you to the underworld."
The light in her eyes was like icy cold, exuding a chilling aura.
"!"
Although the You parents could speak, their bodies were restrained by the talisman and they couldn't move. Hearing the girl's threat, a moment of fear flashed across their faces, but then they suddenly remembered something and became fearless again.
"Where did this charlatan come from? Did my son tell you I was here? You can't actually see me, can you?" Mother You's eyes were unfocused, her gaze was not unfocused, and she muttered to herself.
Wu Yue's lips twitched.
What the hell? Is this just self-deception?
"Mom and Dad."
You Guangluan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
He didn't let go of Wu Yue's hand, and a smile appeared on his chubby little face that had been tense all along. "I'm asking Sister Wu Yue and Brother Chi Yu to rescue you, and also... to rescue myself."
He learned the word "rescue" from his mother.
He was still in school at the time, so he asked his teacher, "Teacher, what does 'rescue' mean?"
The teacher said that rescue means getting someone out of danger or a predicament.
He seemed to understand, but he silently made a mental note of it—home was a danger, a predicament.
You Guangluan blinked, then smiled with narrowed eyes: "Mom and Dad, I wish you that you will never meet each other again in your next life, and that a more well-behaved and adorable baby will be reincarnated into your family. I also hope that I will never meet you again."
It was a sweet, childlike voice. But every word and every sentence was like a sharp blade piercing his heart, leaving his once whole heart riddled with holes.
Over the past year, he seemed to have barely spoken a few words. He never said 'goodbye' when he left home, nor 'I'm home' when he returned from school.
Now--
You Guangluan took a deep breath and shouted, "Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy turned around abruptly, hugged Wu Yue's waist, and buried his face in her stomach.
Yan Chiyu took out five jade stones and placed them in the hands of Cuihua and Tiezhu. The two paper figures scurried to the back garden of the villa at superhuman speed, placing one stone each at the front gate, bedroom, hall, and rooftop.
Once the jade was secured, he produced a blank sheet of yellow paper. He took out a gold-embossed wolf-hair brush and, mixing profound energy with cinnabar, drew obscure and difficult-to-understand runes on the blank yellow paper. The Spirit Gathering Talisman instantly materialized.
Immediately, the talisman flew to the spot where the fruit knife and kitchen knife had been.
A faint beam of light shot out from the villa and into the sky.
After a long while, the stench of blood and decay gradually spread throughout the villa...
Meanwhile, the Municipal Bureau.
"Hello? Municipal Criminal Investigation Division."
"..."
"Body found in a private villa in the suburbs of Beijing? Is it the missing You couple? Okay, we'll send people over immediately."

The underworld.
Mu Junyan had just returned from bathing in the River of Oblivion, his clothes half-open. He took out his phone and opened WeChat.
Yu Yue: Lord Yama, two abusive ghosts have gone to the underworld. Please, for my sake, "treat" them well!
King Yama remained silent for three seconds.
Mu Junyan: Hmm.
