Xu Li's eyes then showed a change.
"He was driving under the influence of alcohol, caused an accident and fled the scene, and then his car overturned."
Xinghe Xiaomao's eyes curved into a smile as she glanced at the screen. "So you see, what goes around comes around. Even in the underworld, someone like him won't escape judgment."
Xu Li glanced curiously at the camera floating in front of Xinghe.
"I'd like to ask, are you Ox-Head and Horse-Face, or Black and White Impermanence?"
According to legend, these are the ghost messengers who are responsible for taking souls.
Xinghe's eyes darted around. "I'm Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence), how come I don't look like him?"
Xu Li shook her head, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Before he could finish speaking, someone Xinghe knew suddenly appeared at the door of the emergency room.
The man who swindled money from Boss Qian's house was a Taoist priest named Kang from the Heavenly Cult.
"Please, you must save my son! He's so young."
"It's all that damned woman's fault. If she hadn't scared my son, how could he have been frightened and caused the car to overturn?"
Master Kang stroked his beard and said, "It's easy. The duty of our Heavenly Sect is to save the world."
He looked at the man and asked, "Have you prepared what I asked you to?"
The man took out the package wrapped in paper and carefully handed it to Master Kang, saying, "Of course, it's all here."
Master Kang unfolded the red paper, inside which was a piece of hair and a string of birth dates and times.
"Good, I'll get started now."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was suddenly sent flying.
He hit the wall and spat out blood.
Xinghe slowly appeared. "I've disliked you for a long time. Your Heavenly Cult is truly despicable. You'd even dare to do something like exchanging lives for money?"
After the life is changed, the Book of Life and Death will be temporarily obscured, and the person who died in the Book of Life and Death will become someone else.
Such things will be discovered during the trial in the underworld after death, and the person whose life was swapped will be severely punished, but the person whose life was swapped is innocent.
Those who practice Taoism and the Xuanmen sect abhor doing such immoral things.
Xinghe originally thought that the so-called Heavenly Cult was just incompetent, but he didn't expect them to be so despicable.
Master Kang saw the Milky Way clearly, his pupils dilated, and he couldn't catch his breath. "It's you again?"
"I can't stand scum like you."
Xinghe lit a fire at his fingertips, which landed on the red paper. The birth date and the hair on the red paper disappeared into the air.
"Who are you? Why did you harm my son! Give me back my things! Give them back to me now!"
An elderly man, his face flushed, rushed forward, only to be kicked away by Xinghe. "Your son's current situation is entirely your fault."
It was time to go to the emergency room, and Xinghe pulled the man who had just become a ghost out of the room.
They tied him up tightly.
"Where am I? Dad! Dad! Help me! Please help me!"
"You bitch, let me go! Do you know who my father is?"
Xinghe: "Shut up, it's too noisy."
The man's eyes widened, his mouth sealed shut.
Xinghe glanced at Master Kang and the other man lying on the ground groaning.
She released two baby ghosts.
"Treat them well."
The little ghost girl had big eyes and grinned, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
This is the first task the king has given them, and they must complete it well!
Blood gushed from their bodies, restoring them to their previous gruesome state, and they crawled toward Master Kang and his companion.
Master Kang only knows some simple spells from the Heavenly Sect; he's a half-baked practitioner and can't deal with evil spirits at all.
He screamed and backed away, "Don't come any closer! Don't come near me!"
The elderly man next to him was so terrified that he lost his voice.
In the live stream room.
This male ghost looks so familiar, just like his father.
I think so too. Let me go look for it.
[Found him. Hong Qing, mayor of Zhongjiang City, S Province. The deceased was named Hong Zhiming, his son.]
[My God, how could a mayor do such a thing and say such things? Just how many crimes has he covered up for his son?]
[@ChinaProsecutorGeneral, are you not going to do anything about this?]
The Chinese National Security Bureau has received your message and is currently verifying it. An announcement will be released within a week at the latest.
Once the official responded, the live chat quieted down.
It took quite a while before he spoke again.
[Really? I just tried tagging them, and there were official staff members in the live stream? Did they see everything we said in the chat?]
[This is chilling to think about.]
In the underworld, several Yama kings stared at each other.
"When ghost messengers are on duty, they are not allowed to beat humans, nor are they allowed to release evil spirits to scare people, right?"
"Ahem, well, strictly speaking, the fairy maiden isn't exactly a ghost messenger."
"But this?"
"Besides, who saw it? Did you see it?"
"The weather is nice, let's keep looking. This office system is really convenient."
Xinghe continued her journey as a ghost messenger.
She followed the list on the office system and harvested them one by one.
If they are cooperative, she will give them a few minutes to say goodbye to their loved ones.
When encountering those who are uncooperative, the ghost-catching and soul-locking processes are completed instantly.
For those who are particularly uncooperative, Xinghe can beat them until they cooperate.
The ghost messengers in the live stream had rules and procedures for doing things. Seeing Xinghe's simple and crude actions, they all looked up at the sky and the ground, pretending that they hadn't seen anything.
Xinghe glanced at the long string of souls bound behind him, wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, and said, "See? As long as you find the right method, they are quite cooperative."
The new ghosts behind him, their faces bruised and swollen from being beaten, dared not utter a word.
"let me see."
"With only three ghosts left, our soul-collecting mission for today will be complete."
Xinghe headed towards his destination.
Xinghe arrived, took out the large sword that served as a soul-reaping rope, and said with a puzzled tone, "Hmm? Strange."
She looked around but couldn't find the deceased's soul.
She touched the corpse. "It's still warm. Where is his soul?"
This person was hacked to death; his death was rather gruesome, and he has the potential to become a demon.
Xinghe closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding area; there was no trace of his soul within a ten-mile radius.
Bai Wuchang sent a message to Xinghe: "Some ghosts don't want to enter the underworld and will run away at the first opportunity."
"These ghosts either dissipate or become evil spirits and vengeful ghosts. Once they escape a certain range, the Book of Life and Death can no longer locate them, so we can no longer find them."
"I only collect them occasionally when I encounter them while doing tasks."
This is one of the reasons why ghosts exist in the mortal world.
Xinghe indeed didn't sense anything; she couldn't see ghosts, and the range of her magical perception was limited.
Xinghe could only rush to the next place first.
She glanced back at the corpse, somewhat puzzled.
Logically speaking, if it turned into an evil spirit and ran away, there should be some yin energy left behind, but she couldn't sense it now.
The same applies to the two places Xinghe visited next.
What these three people have in common is that they all died tragically and have the potential to become evil spirits.
Xinghe didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Xinghe rolled up his sleeves and said, "You dare to try and steal my soul? I refuse to believe I can't catch you today!"
