"Why don't you sit down with us? This meat smells amazing!" Chen Qi invited.
"No, no need. I'll sit here with Ayu for a while!"
Ma Xiaoyuan shuddered. How could she have been so foolish as to want to come in and see? She wasn't that kind of person to watch evil spirits eat meat.
As a descendant of the Ma family, she knew about things like deep-frying evil spirits and grinding away ghosts.
Chen Qi didn't look at her anymore, but focused on eating the fried pork with sesame oil in front of her.
"Does the King of Hell have nothing to say?"
Chen Qi: "Yes, I only ordered meat and forgot to order vegetables. It's a bit greasy!"
Ma Xiaoyuan: ...I'll never say I'm brave again!
Evil spirit: ...Is he really the King of Hell?
After Chen Qi had finished eating and Ji Jieyu had woken up, Chen Qi calmly stood up and said, "Fulfill your last wish, or you would like to choose the second option, death? The method of death can be any you like!"
Everyone: Letting an evil spirit choose its way of dying—if we hadn't seen the evil spirit with our own eyes, we would have really thought it was just a gimmick to attract attention.
What's the current situation?
No one dared to say it was a lie.
If that ghost were to come to Kyoto to search the city at night, it wouldn't just be the Ji family that was affected; the entire city of Kyoto would be turned upside down.
The evil spirit was quite sensible.
The choice was to take Chen Qi to a certain place.
It was an intersection, and Ma Xiaoyuan, who had followed, looked at the evil spirit with a complicated expression.
Chen Qi frowned: "This place is filled with yin energy and the north and south are blocked. It would be strange if nothing happened on this road. But why aren't the streetlights working?"
Ma Xiaoyuan said, "Master, don't you know? This is a famous ghost street. There were even more accidents when there was a road. The light was red, but the drivers would see it as green, and there were traffic accidents almost every day. That's not all; every three days, a life would be lost here. That's why it became like this!"
"It doesn't seem to be missing!" There's one right in front of us, so there's definitely no shortage.
The evil spirit chuckled coldly: "There are far fewer now, because the vengeful ghosts no longer test us, but instead kill us outright!"
Chen Qi: "Talk about your business. You're so concerned about other ghosts' affairs too. I'd think you're not worried at all!"
Evil spirit: There's no reasoning with this female Yama.
Then, the evil spirit told her story.
Her original name was Liu Lingling. She worked as a sales assistant at a supermarket, and her night shift ended at 10 p.m. One year ago, on that night, when she was taking a taxi home, the taxi suddenly stalled at this intersection, so Liu Lingling had to get out and hail another taxi.
Coincidentally, there was another girl waiting for a taxi by the roadside. So, the cheerful Liu Lingling started chatting with her. When they were having a great time, the taxi suddenly burst into flames. Startled, she ran away as fast as she could. The girl tried to stop her, but Liu Lingling grabbed her and ran away with her.
Later, she finally managed to hail a car again. Although she was sharing a ride with someone else, she was very happy. However, when she opened her eyes again, she found that she was already a ghost.
She was panicked, surprised, and at a loss; she herself didn't know what was going on.
But she dared not go out during the day. The sun would shine on her and cause her deepest pain. She was extremely weak at that time, so she could only go out at night. The farthest place she could go was this intersection, and it was here that she found Ji Jieyu.
