The City of the Wrongfully Dead is a place in the underworld specifically for imprisoning the souls of those who died unjustly. When Yue Jiuling saw the old castle filled with resentment from afar, she said to Mu Xiaoyi, "Actually, I really admire the great god who performs the rituals for them here. After all, having to face all this resentment day and night, I couldn't stand it for even a day if it were me."
"Indeed, I can't stand it either."
Because in the City of the Wrongfully Dead, there is a great deity who performs rituals to help those who died unjustly to find peace. However, because there were so many people who died unjustly, the deity has stayed there for a very long time and has never left.
"Tsk tsk, there's so much resentment here, I can hardly stand it anymore."
When Mu Xiaoyi saw that there were several ghost guards at the entrance of the City of the Wrongfully Dead, she said, "There are ghost guards guarding the gate there. Let's go ask them."
"good."
Yue Jiuling took out a mask and put it on as she went over there with Mu Xiaoyi.
The ghost guards at the gate of the City of the Wrongfully Dead also recognized the people from the management office. Even if they didn't know them personally, they would know who they were as long as they showed their work IDs. So when they saw Mu Xiaoyi take out her work ID, the ghost guards understood.
A ghost messenger looked at Yue Jiuling and asked, "What brings you two here?"
"Hello, we're looking for a ghost. Could you please help us?"
Mu Xiaoyi smiled and pointed in the direction of the City of the Wrongfully Dead, saying, "We're here to find a ghost named Xiao Biao. He was dismembered and deep-fried when he died, and we want to ask him some questions."
"Xiao Biao, let me look for it for you."
Upon hearing this, the ghost messenger pulled out a notebook, opened it, and said, "Xiao Biao, Xiao Biao, oh, here he is. This guy died rather tragically. He is indeed here. Wait a moment, I'll call him over and ask him."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Yue Jiuling wrapped herself in her clothes and continued rubbing her hands, saying, "It's so cold here. I envy you people who don't have body temperature and don't feel the cold."
The ghost messenger was on his way to find ghosts for them when he heard Yue Jiuling's words. He laughed and said, "Haha, it's alright. Actually, you get used to it and don't feel cold anymore. But when I died, I couldn't stand the climate of the underworld either. You get used to it."
"Yeah, you get used to a lot of things."
Watching the ghost messengers go to help find Xiao Biao, Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi speculated, "Will that ghost come in pieces later? After all, that's how he died."
"Probably not?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyi also felt that this was highly likely. She said, "Who cares? Let's ask and then leave, no matter what kind of monster he is."
As they were talking, Mu Xiaoyi saw a ghost lightly following behind the ghost messenger, coming towards them.
However, the ghost's body was covered with many needles and threads, which were sewn very ugly, with many loose threads. But although it was ugly, its body was not missing any parts.
Upon seeing the ghost, Yue Jiuling immediately exclaimed, "Wow, this ghost looks no different from one that wasn't sewn up at all; it's just as gruesome to look at!"
"Yeah, hey, who sewed this for him? It's so ugly, it's an eyesore."
Mu Xiaoyi was also speaking.
At this moment, the ghost had arrived in front of Yue Jiuling and the others. His face, half-cooked from being boiled, looked at them and asked, "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
"Oh, it's like this, we are police officers from the human realm, and we are currently investigating your case. Could you tell me why you were killed? And what grudge did you have against the murderer?"
Mu Xiaoyi resisted looking at the ghost's ugly body and stared at its face.
"Oh, so you're police officers from the human realm. But would human police officers track down cases all the way here?"
The ghost was quite surprised to hear their purpose, but he still told the truth: "I don't know that girl at all. She's terrifying! I only remember that she came to my shop to eat in the morning, and after she left, she came again in the afternoon."
But as soon as she came in, she said my food was awful and that she'd teach me how to cook better. She also called me disgusting and deserving of death. She was very strong; before I could even say anything, she grabbed me by the neck. For some reason, when she grabbed my neck, I felt like every bone in my body was aching, like it was about to break or shatter, even though she hadn't actually hit me.
Xiao Biao's ghost, recalling the scene of his death, also felt a chill. He involuntarily shook his spirit and said, "You are all police officers, you must help me catch her and avenge her. I can't get out now, I can only rely on you."
Perhaps because his death was so gruesome, he was terrified by the murderer, so he didn't even mention going out to seek revenge.
After hearing Xiao Biao's words, Yue Jiuling understood what the broken bone was all about, but she still asked, "Are you sure you haven't offended her? According to our investigation, she may have come specifically to find you. By the way, besides that one sentence, you haven't heard her say anything else?"
"It seems like that's all. After she tore my head off, I passed out. When I finally woke up, I was floating above the shop. I wanted revenge, but there was something about her that made me afraid to get close, so I just watched her deep-fry me. Then I left the shop, and not long after that, I was brought here."
