"Hey kid, you two seem to have a really good relationship~ You think you can protect your colleagues in your current state?"
Seeing that Xu Bei, who was already a ghost, still wanted to protect Yin Ni, Quan Ge couldn't help but sigh at how good their relationship was.
Xu Bei looked at Quan Ge and said, "Who exactly are you people? Why did you kill me and not even spare my ghost? Also, what you're doing is against the law. If you're discovered, you'll be banished from the human world."
"Yes, of course I know that, which is why you absolutely cannot be let out!"
Quan Ge's malicious laughter came from behind the mask: "Hehe~ Eat up, eat as much as you can while there's still food, so you won't run out later."
He placed the lunchbox he was holding next to Yinni and then prepared to leave the room.
But just as he was about to leave, the bound Hidden called out to him, saying calmly, "Wait, as long as you release us, I promise that this matter will be over when we get back, and I can let bygones be bygones."
Hidden tried to trick this person into letting him and Xu Bei go, but unfortunately the plan failed.
Because Quan Ge wasn't fooled, he only heard him say, "Hehe~ I don't believe it, and I have no intention of letting you go, so you should all stay put."
Quan left the storage room quickly, and Xu Bei wanted to follow him out, but was blocked by the barrier inside the room.
"Ugh, this annoying barrier."
After being blocked by the barrier once again, Xu Bei said with a bitter expression, "It's so annoying~ I have no idea what he wants to do by capturing us, I can't figure out what he's thinking."
Hidden couldn't guess why he wanted to capture him, but when he saw the boxed lunch next to him, he felt a little hungry, so he reached out to take the boxed lunch and eat it.
"Oh well, never mind that, I'm hungry, let's eat first~"
Although Yinni's hands and feet were tied, he could still eat, though it was a bit difficult for him.
Xu Bei watched as the person struggled to open the lunchbox with their bound hands and asked, "Seriously, you're really willing to eat this? Aren't you worried there might be something wrong with the food?"
"Don't worry, he doesn't need to poison me to kill me. I'm tied up now, and he can kill me with just one palm strike, so there's no need to go through the trouble of poisoning me."
They were secretly enjoying their delicious meal without any worries.
He remarked as he ate, "The food here is pretty good; they even have chicken drumsticks!"
Xu Bei stared at the chicken leg hidden in the lunchbox, swallowing hard. He hadn't eaten anything since he died, let alone chicken legs.
Xu Bei said enviously, "That's great. It seems you're treated much better than me, being imprisoned. At least you still have food to eat and you're not dead. I'm already dead, and I'm still locked up."
Yinni realized Xu Bei was complaining, and fearing he would become a vengeful ghost if he continued, he quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't be sad. I heard that after your family took your body back, they haven't buried you. I don't know what's going on or what they're planning. Do you know that? I also heard that your father might have some way to bring you back to life."
Hearing the hidden words, Xu Bei was also stunned. He thought for a moment and said, "Resurrection? If my soul can go back, then the possibility of resurrection might actually exist."
"No way, does your family really have resurrection magic?"
Hidden was also surprised by Xu Bei's words, and he asked, "Does your Xu family really have this resurrection technique?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but according to our ancestors' records, our family has a kind of magic that can bring the dead back to life. However, the procedure is extremely dangerous and the success rate is very low. I've heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not."
While in mid-air, Xu Beipiao recalled, "But when I was a child, I heard my great-grandfather say that someone in our ancestors had used that magic to resurrect a member of our clan. Maybe my father really wanted to resurrect me?"
Hidden was only asking out of curiosity, since it's rare for someone to be resurrected after death. However, he was quite interested in the legends of Xu Bei's family. He said, "If you really have a chance to be resurrected, then we must get out of here! Quick, let's find a way to escape together!"
While Yinni and Xu Bei were still imprisoned, Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi had already performed one ritual after another, but they still couldn't find any trace of Yinni. This result made everyone very anxious.
Bai Xinyu was thinking that if she couldn't find the Hidden One within 24 hours, she would go to the Demon Realm to inform the Hidden One's clan members.
Ye Dongfeng sat on the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said, "What should we do? The case hasn't been solved yet, and now they've disappeared again. What should we do now?"
Mu Xiaoyi was also tired. She sat down next to Bai Xinyu and drank water, saying, "If all else fails, we can ask other departments for help. Speaking of which, I heard that some people have also gone missing in other departments. Could it be that someone is specifically targeting people in our circle? Otherwise, why are colleagues going missing all the time?"
Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were also worried. Yue Jiuling said, "I've heard about it too. There's another department where three or four people have gone missing all at once. And it's not just human cultivators, but demon cultivators have also gone missing. Recently, many departments are in a state of panic."
"Yeah, yeah, yesterday Director Yu told me it's too dangerous outside, and warned me to be careful on my way to and from get off work, and not to wander around unnecessarily."
