"Are you a police officer?"
The old man was a little skeptical, but he still respected this identity.
"No, no, no, how can you, a living person, care about the affairs of us dead people? You can't do it, you can't do it."
The old man waved his hands as if he understood. He was no longer a human being. The police could neither control him nor help him.
"I can't help, but she can help you!" Uncle Zhou gently pushed the little girl forward.
"she?"
The old man was even more unconvinced. This girl was so young and looked even less reliable than the young man just now.
Su Xuanxuan sighed helplessly. If this person doesn’t believe in him, how come even ghosts don’t believe in him?
Is it my fault that I look young?
This slap of mine can kill ten ghosts.
Lin Yan struggled to get up and quickly agreed.
"Yeah, it's hard for us to understand why you hurt people like this without saying anything."
The old man seemed to be persuaded, and a touch of emotion appeared on his dark and gray face.
"It's okay to talk to you. I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time anyway."
"This house is mine, and I built it with my own hands. Although I feel a lot of reluctance to leave because of the demolition, that's not the main reason. I'm still here to wait for my partner."
"She clearly said she was going out to buy groceries and asked me to wait for her at home. What if I leave and she comes back and can't find me?"
The old man explained the reason with deep affection.
None of the three had expected this to be the reason.
Su Xuanxuan discovered that this ghost seemed to have lost some memories, such as his old partner who had passed away long ago, so that became his obsession.
"Just because of this?" Lin Yan was a little bit unbelievable. Although he was moved by the old man's story, nothing could be a reason to hurt others.
"I've already told you the situation. I'm not going to bother with you youngsters today. Go back quickly. No one can demolish this house!" The old man started to drive people away, and his words were still as stubborn as ever.
Su Xuanxuan called out to the old man who was about to float into the house.
"Hey, old man! What's your wife's name? Where is she from? When was her birthday?"
Su Xuanxuan also knew that the old man would not leave without seeing his wife.
"Why do you ask that?"
The old man stopped and looked at the little girl in confusion.
"Can I help you check whether your spouse has been reincarnated?" Su Xuanxuan said casually.
A glimmer of hope flashed in the old man's eyes as he told the truth.
"Yang Cuimei, born on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month in 1939, from Dongcheng."
Su Xuanxuan put his hands together, kept changing his spells, and began to shake the ghost.
After a while, as if sensing something, a figure stepped out of the void.
It turned out to be Yang Cuimei who passed away early.
On the way here, Yang Cuimei had already heard what the little girl said about the situation, and she was so angry when she returned to the world.
He strode towards his dead old man and slapped him on the shoulder.
"You old fool, you can't rest in peace even after death! I've been waiting for you at the edge of the underworld for so many years, waiting for you to reincarnate. But you've been committing evil there and hurting others!"
"You old thing, you're almost ruining your reputation in this life. Do you know that after becoming a ghost, your crime of injuring others will be even more severe? Do you still want to be reincarnated?"
Yang Cuimei started attacking as soon as she came up, punching the old man one after another.
The old man didn't hide either, but looked at his wife with a smile.
"You old thing, don't you know that if you keep going like this you'll be reduced to ashes in no time? Why don't you hurry up and reincarnate!"
Yang Cuimei felt distressed as she spoke, wondering how could this old man be so stupid.
She died of a sudden illness one winter while she was out buying groceries. My death must have dealt a heavy blow to the old man, which led to his obsession.
Uncle Zhou and Lin Yan stared at what was happening in amazement, and both showed admiration in their eyes.
This little girl is really amazing. She can even pull ghosts up from the underworld.
Uncle Zhou was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Yang Cuimei muttered to herself for a while, and the two of them whispered something, then came to Su Xuanxuan hand in hand.
"Thank you, little girl. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that this old man was doing such evil things." Yang Cuimei expressed her gratitude. This little girl was very capable, so the underworld could let her come up.
She had heard a long time ago that there was a capable person who could travel back and forth between the two worlds, but she wondered if it was the person in front of her?
"Um, comrade police officer. I'm going to the underworld with my wife. I did do some bad things before. Please apologize to the injured workers."
The expression on the old man's face softened, and he seemed to be apologizing from the bottom of his heart.
How could Uncle Zhou not agree?
"I will make sure it's delivered. I hope you two will have a good reincarnation."
He always felt that it was a bit strange to say this.
"Boy, you have pretty good skills. You look a bit like me when I was young." The old man looked at Lin Yan with admiration.
Lin Yan smiled foolishly twice, but he was screaming silently in his heart. It was so embarrassing that he couldn't even beat a ghost, and it was an old ghost at that.
Finally, the two of them looked at Su Xuanxuan.
Yang Cuimei pleaded, "Little girl, please send us back."
Su Xuanxuan nodded and reopened the door to the underworld without saying a word.
The three of them watched the old couple walk into the underworld together and disappear from their sight.
Lin Yan looked at the little girl excitedly: "Little sister... Oh, no, no, Master, how did you do this move?"
"You can actually open the gate to the underworld, awesome!"
"Master, Master, would you like to teach me?"
Lin Yan was chattering around Su Xuanxuan like a chatterbox, and he didn't look like he was hurt at all.
Su Xuanxuan rolled his eyes rudely: "You, shut up!"
Lin Yan indeed closed his mouth, but there was still eagerness in his eyes.
"You can't learn it. It requires talent and a special physique."
Su Xuanxuan cruelly stated the truth. His current skills were really not enough.
It was as if a basin of cold water was poured on Lin Yan's head, and the light in his eyes was extinguished in an instant.
"ah……"
Uncle Zhou stood aside and chuckled. This little girl was really direct in what she said.
Lin Yan also knew that he had met a very powerful boss. Even his father could not do that, so he naturally had to follow him shamelessly.
Su Xuanxuan was so annoyed by this person's noise that he stopped immediately.
He looked at Uncle Zhou beside him for help.
"Uncle Zhou, it's getting late. You should go back. I don't need to see you off. Please help me see this person off."
Su Xuanxuan's words were quite tactful, and Uncle Zhou must have understood what he meant.
Uncle Zhou nodded and put his arm around Lin Yan's shoulders.
"Let's go, young man, where do you live? I'll take you there..."
Just like that, Lin Yan was forcefully taken away by Uncle Zhou. He kept looking back, but there was no sign of the little girl...
