The night was as cold as water. Lu Xu left Lan Gaojie's apartment with the Yin Pai in his pocket and came to the West Street Cemetery.
The wind whistled past him from all directions, swept across his face and surged into the endless darkness.
The Yin Pai in his pocket trembled, and the soul attached to it wanted to escape. However, Lu Xu had already imprisoned it, and it was obvious that there was nowhere to escape.
The evil spirit relied on infinitely magnifying human greed in exchange for their lives to nourish their power. However, this kind of temptation was child's play in Lu Xu's eyes. In order to prevent others from offering this Yin Pai, Lu Xu casually threw it beside the cemetery and ignited the fire of karma on his fingers.
The Yin Pai instantly understood his intention and unconsciously made a miserable cry, trying to influence Lu Xu's mind.
"Heh." Lu Xu curled his lips sarcastically, and then lit it casually.
The Yin card had already devoured several lives, and its evil power was about to increase to bring disaster to the world, but it never thought that it would fall into Lu Xu's hands. Its body was stained with sin and was instantly devoured by the fire of karma.
Lu Xu didn't want to look at it anymore. He turned around and was about to leave when he saw Peng Hanfei standing behind him with an indifferent face.
The other party's clothes were a little messy, and the clothes were also blown by the wind. He held a specially customized sickle from the Southwest Death God Department in his hand, and looked at Lu Xu unconsciously with force: "Did you send Lan Gaojie away?"
Lu Xu nodded indifferently: "Yes."
"He died in our Southwest District."
Lu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a relaxed expression: "So?"
"You are the East District Death God, why are you overstepping your boundaries to enforce the law? Lan Gaojie tonight and Lai Chengshan before, they should have our orders from the Southwest, right?"
Peng Hanfei's face became gloomier as he spoke, and he felt that Lu Xu's behavior had crossed the line.
When Lai Chengshan was sent away by him before, the minister asked them to reflect on themselves, saying that if it weren't for their own mistakes in their work and they didn't find the smugglers, Lu Xu wouldn't have been in trouble. The minister
also said later that they should try not to argue with Lu Xu.
"Anyway, he won't stay here for long and will leave, so you just have to bear with it for now."
That's what he said, but Peng Hanfei couldn't bear it anymore.
Originally, their department's performance was always suppressed by the eastern department, and now Lu Xu came to their jurisdiction to grab the performance, which was a bit too much.
Seeing Peng Hanfei's frown, Lu Xu shrugged and said, "Lai Chengshan is a stowaway. I found out that there is no problem in arresting him. Later, Lan Gaojie used evil magic and died soon. Since no one of you paid attention to him, I would definitely mark it and report it." They
are all Chinese, and there is no regional difference.
It's just that in order to facilitate management, the Death God Department set up several Death God Street Offices to coordinate the affairs of each district.
Lu Xu had just been awarded a job title fifty years ago. His position was that of a minister, and he had great management authority over his subordinates. Not to mention crossing districts, even if he went beyond East City, he would just hire anyone he wanted.
He didn't say much, but just casually waved his work permit in front of Peng Hanfei. Peng Hanfei has only been in the industry for a dozen years, and is a newcomer compared to Lu Xu. He also knew that Lu Xu did nothing wrong, but he just felt that he was holding back.
In order to catch up with the performance of the East District, Peng Hanfei has been working very hard recently.
Whenever there is an appointment, he marks it as soon as possible, not wanting to give Lu Xu a chance. He has always done a good job, and he never thought that there would be Lan Gaojie tonight.
Because Lan Gaojie was a custom order for Lu Xu, Peng Hanfei didn't even know about this order before he died.
When he saw the new orders posted on the Death God app, he went to Lan Gaojie's house without stopping. As a result, just as he arrived, Lu Xu had already left.
If only he had been faster...
Peng Hanfei felt angry and couldn't help but follow Lu Xu's footsteps to come here. He wanted to reason with him, but in the end, Lu Xu made him speechless.
Lu Xu's attitude was very complacent, and he kept saying that he was doing things according to the rules. What he said was right, and Peng Hanfei couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the Yin card being burned to ashes, Lu Xu immediately moved his wrist and was about to leave: "I can't ignore the order in front of me. This business is absolutely in line with the regulations of the Grim Reaper's Code of Conduct. It's getting late, I have to go back to the apartment."
After saying that, he patted Peng Hanfei's shoulder, then waved his hand and never looked back.
Really arrogant.
Peng Hanfei felt that he had gained nothing tonight and was looked down upon by Lu Xu. He clenched his fists unconsciously, thinking of the rules that Lu Xu said, and planned to go to the east again.
Lu Xu was too high-profile when dealing with Lai Chengshan before, and almost all other branches knew that they had missed a stowaway. The director's performance was pretty good, but because of this, he couldn't raise his head at the regular meeting. It
would be fine if he had just intercepted one order, but now there was another order from Lan Gaojie. Peng Hanfei felt that Lu Xu was going too far. He
vaguely remembered that Lu Xu's colleague was called Xie An. Since Lu Xu couldn't handle it for the time being, he might as well start with Xie An...

"Fuck, don't turn around!" Han Tianyu opened his mouth and shouted, then suddenly sat up with his eyes closed, only to find that it was just a dream.
It was only six o'clock in the morning, and the light in the room was still a little dim with the curtains drawn.
The others were sleeping in a daze, and suddenly heard Han Tianyu's voice, and they shuddered and woke up.
"Why are you so startled so early in the morning?" Xu Haoming yawned and couldn't help muttering with a bad temper.
Han Tianyu was so shocked by the scene in his dream that he broke into a cold sweat. He finally heard some movement and quickly climbed onto Xu Haoming's bed to pull his quilt.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm a straight man!" Xu Haoming was still sleepy at first, but he woke up instantly after hearing his noise. He raised his foot to kick Han Tianyu off the bed.
"Okay, you guys, can you be quiet so early in the morning?" Song Zhe slept late last night, and he was very helpless when he heard his two younger brothers making noise, so he said something.
"I'm not making noise with you, I'm just scared." With Xu Haoming's noise, Han Tianyu felt that he had just come back to life from his dream. He patted Xu Haoming's leg to signal him to calm down, and then said in a low voice with a pale face, "You don't know what I dreamed about recently..."
"What kind of dream can you have? It's either a competition or a woman." It's normal to dream about the opposite sex at a young age.
Xu Haoming just made a joke, but he didn't expect Han Tianyu's face to change when he heard it: "It's a woman, but..."
"If it's a woman, you should be content. What else do you want a bicycle for?"
Boys usually talk dirty to each other. Xu Haoming curled his lips and didn't take Han Tianyu's words seriously. He just urged him to get out of bed.
"What did you dream about?"
Just when Han Tianyu was so anxious that he didn't know how to start, Lu Xu, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, suddenly poked his head out with curiosity in his eyes. Finally,
someone was willing to listen to his dream. Han Tianyu felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly told Lu Xu about his nightmare: "I have been having a recurring dream recently..."
According to Han Tianyu, he has been having the same dream for the past few days. In his dream, he would walk to a corridor every day, and the atmosphere around him was very depressing. He was standing at one end of the corridor, and at the opposite end there was a long-haired girl in uniform with her back to him.
Xu Haoming got excited when he heard this: "Oh, is it the uniform temptation again?"
Han Tianyu sighed: "What uniform temptation, it's obviously infinite horror..."
For several consecutive days, this girl would appear in his dreams. Every time she had her back to him, but the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer.
"I didn't take it seriously at first, and thought I was too tired so I had a dream. But how can a normal dream repeat the same scene all the time..."
The woman on the corridor was getting closer and closer to him, and gradually, Han Tianyu felt vaguely uneasy.
He tried to escape but it was useless.
Seeing the long-haired woman getting closer and closer, Han Tianyu suddenly had an idea in his mind -
she is not human.
Once this cognition appeared, the whole dream became more and more depressing.
Just last night, the woman in the dream was only ten centimeters away from him.
Looking at the back of her head from such a close distance, he felt that the picture was inexplicably terrifying, and he didn't even want to see her face at all.
But there is a saying that what you fear will come true.
The female ghost in the dream not only ignored Han Tianyu's fear, but also gently turned her head and seemed to be turning around.
The sunlight in the dream was dim, and it shone on the woman through the window with a dilapidated and dilapidated breath. Her body moved in slow motion, and a strange "giggle" came from her throat.
Han Tianyu couldn't imagine what it would be like if he turned around, and he screamed and wanted to escape.
However, in his dream, he seemed to be pressed down by a huge mountain, unable to move.
Seeing that the woman turned her head immediately, Han Tianyu finally shouted out: "Fuck, don't turn around!"
It was because of this shout that he escaped from the dream with difficulty.
Even though he had been awake for so long, Han Tianyu's face was still pale, which showed how much psychological pressure the woman in the dream caused him.
"Oh my god, it's so scary to listen to it." After listening to Han Tianyu's dream, Xu Haoming felt a chill on his back. I thought it was an adult love movie, but it turned out to be a horror movie. This turn was really exciting.
Song Zhe didn't believe it at first, but now he doesn't dare to make a rash statement: "Did you see what she looks like?"
"No, I don't dare to look." Han Tianyu's voice was full of tears. Thinking of that dream made him feel bad.
Xu Haoming suddenly thought of a very critical question: "Since the distance is getting closer every day, according to this progress, will it turn around tonight..."
"Fuck!" Han Tianyu jumped up when he heard this. He was about to go crazy when he imagined that scene in his mind. "I dare not sleep tonight. What if I really turn around?"
That dream was too real. No one knew how scared he was. The more unknown, the more scared he was. Han Tianyu couldn't accept this at all.
Just when Han Tianyu was so scared, Lu Xu suddenly spoke to comfort him: "It's okay, as long as you don't agree to her request, she can't do anything to you."
"Brother Xu, what do you mean?" Han Tianyu couldn't help but step forward and chased Lu Xu for help. It's strange to say, Lu Xu is obviously the youngest in the dormitory, but Han Tianyu inexplicably feels that he has a way.
Lu Xu looked at the rope on Han Tianyu's desk that was used as a skipping rope, and then curled his lips and said: "The one you dreamed of is probably not a human. Ghosts can't harm people directly, unless you agree to her conditions. So I say, just don't agree to any of her requests."
Lu Xu said it lightly, but the three roommates were stunned.
Seeing that he was so sure, Song Zhe couldn't help but ask, "What if she appears in Tianyu's dream again at night?"
Han Tianyu was so scared that he immediately asked, "Yes, yes, what if she appears again?"
"How about you just pretend you're watching a 4D horror movie? Not only are the special effects real, but the best part is it's free." Having said that, seeing Han Tianyu looking so sad that he was about to cry, Lu Xu still hooked his finger at him, called him over and smiled, "If she comes again in your dream, just recite my name silently."
Han Tianyu's mind was full of questions, and after a moment of hesitation he looked at Lu Xu: "Is that okay?"
Lu Xu sat back and distanced himself, and smiled innocently again: "Give it a try, what if it works."
