Chapter 119: The Ruthless Actor (27 End)
the next day.
The streets and alleys of Shanghai were full of heated discussions about the horrific murder case caused by a ghost that occurred in the British Concession last night.
No. 67 Wenchang Road, Zhan family villa.
At the birthday banquet, including the host, a total of 31 high-ranking foreigners and 16 wealthy traitors died suddenly on the spot.
Their deaths varied, but were all horrific.
Seeing the distress signal flares sent by Davis, the more than 1,000 British troops who came to rescue could not escape the disaster.
The military truck carrying the soldiers broke down for no apparent reason halfway through the journey, forcing the soldiers to disembark and walk.
But as soon as they arrived at the Zhan residence, it seemed that all the guns they carried were blocked by foreign objects and could not be opened at all.
At the scene, all they saw was an empty stage and corpses scattered all over the floor, not even a single person in sight...
Just as the soldiers were filled with confusion, a lot of white light suddenly floated before their eyes. Before they realized what was happening, they became part of the corpses on the ground...
Most of the 1,000 British troops were killed or wounded.
Even those who managed to escape alive would experience memory confusion, unclear speech and other "ghost encounters" after returning to the consulate base.
The British consul called in a doctor and a priest.
But when the priest placed the cross on the soldier to try to exorcise the ghost, the pure silver cross suddenly turned black, cracks appeared, and then broke for no reason.
“Oh! Damn!!”
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the British Consulate wanted to seek help from the neighboring Nationalist Government and the French Concession.
But when the officials picked up the phone, not only was the call not connected, but bursts of creepy laughter came from the other end.
The Axe Gang brothers, who had been lying in ambush on the edge of the British Concession for a long time, took advantage of the weak guarding force and marched straight into the British Consulate.
The new ambassador has only been in office for more than three months, and his relationship with the stationed troops has not yet been smoothly established. Faced with the fearless and murderous members of the Axe Gang, only a few of his capable subordinates are willing to fight to the death to protect him.
Forced to the last resort, he had no choice but to hide in the cellar to save his life.
But having a general without soldiers is like having fire without firewood. You can’t cook and you can’t accomplish anything great.
Saving the life of an ambassador and killing several important generals and "partners" (traitors) could not change the fact that the British consulate was severely damaged overnight.
But no matter how hysterical or furious they were, they could only stare blankly.
Because they were completely unable to identify the murderer who killed the foreigners in the Zhan residence, and they dared not set foot in the Zhan residence again...
…
At this time, corpses were everywhere in the Zhan residence.
The corpse went from stiff to slowly decaying, emitting an increasingly strong stench, which attracted many wild dogs to bite and tear it apart, but no corpse collector dared to come and clean up the mess.
Tokiho is still here.
She took off her costume, washed off the black paint on her face, and sat with her legs crossed on the small balcony on the second floor of the villa, leisurely watching the busy and irritable... ghost messengers in the garden...
"Why are they all foreigners?" Bai Wuchang tried hard to identify the various faces among the ghosts waiting to be dealt with. "Those foreigners, can't they let their own gods come and claim them?!"
Black Wuchang smacked White Wuchang on the forehead and said, "That's definitely not possible! If someone dies on our land, we'll take care of them! They all have to obey the Lord Yama. They have to accept the punishment of whatever level of hell He sentences them to!"
Shisui laughed at this.
At this time, a ghost dressed in a red robe and holding a scroll floated to Shisui's side.
"You're still smiling! It's all because of you that we brothers are so busy..."
The one who spoke was the Night Wanderer, one of the ten dark generals in the underworld, along with the Black and White Impermanence.
Shi Sui: "Shouldn't you thank me? There must be a lot of wronged souls gathered in the underworld who refused to be reborn. I will help you all to be reborn, isn't that good?"
Yes, the wronged souls summoned by Shihui last night, after taking revenge and resolving their worries, all lined up obediently to participate in reincarnation.
"That's true..." The Night Wanderer curled his lips, "But last night, the gates of hell were forcibly opened. Lord Yama was so anxious that he stamped his feet. The whole underworld was turned upside down."
"Oh? He has something to say. Can you please ask him to come and talk to me in person?"
"Haha... Lord Yama specifically asked me to give you a message. He said... you've worked hard."
After hearing this, Shisui did not reply, but just raised her head and looked straight into the distance.
Only half of her body grew up in the underworld, and the King of Hell could not control her.
However, in the world of the living, there are many things that are against common sense and that Huang Quan cannot directly intervene in. Shi Sui will take action to correct them and resolve the resentment.
In this sense, Shisui really deserves the words "You have worked hard" from the King of Hell.
…
On the night of the incident, Miao Jue and Zhan Mingzhe secretly left the Zhan residence before the British reinforcements arrived.
After this incident, the Fifth Concubine realized her previous absurdity and decided to change her ways. With Shi Sui's permission, she reunited with her daughter, left Shanghai, and returned to the countryside to farm and make a living.
The British army could not find any evidence to link them to the "birthday party ghost murder case."
At Shi Sui's suggestion, Zhan Mingzhe published an announcement in the newspaper to change his surname from "Zhan" to "Song", his mother's surname, completely cutting ties with the Zhan family.
Things had come to this point. The British ambassador of the consulate, who had personally witnessed the mysterious power of the East, was afraid that he would also be haunted by the wronged spirit. In the end, he did not make things difficult for Zhan Mingzhe, but simply confiscated the Zhan family's shops and property.
However, most of the supplies in the Zhan's business had long been transferred to the "Xingji Grocery Store" managed by Zhan Mingzhe under Shi Sui's arrangement. The Zhan family's antique jewelry was also handed over to Miao Jue for safekeeping.
The huge wealth of the Zhan family did not go to the British for free.
The two young people, Zhan Mingzhe and Miao Jue, had always admired each other. Having experienced major family changes together, their feelings for each other quickly heated up, and their relationship quickly changed from "mother and son" to "boyfriend and girlfriend". Finally, they got a marriage certificate and became legal husband and wife.
...Shi Sui could foresee that in the future, Zhan Mingzhe would become an outstanding patriotic businessman and contribute to the liberation and rejuvenation of the nation.
Therefore, it is time to return the body to the Fourth Concubine...
Tokiho told the newlyweds that she was tired and wanted to travel around, so she said goodbye to them.
She found a small villa in the suburbs to live in, and just like when she first possessed the fourth concubine, she dressed up beautifully and sat in front of the dressing table.
On the table was the pair of gold-handled scissors carved with dragon and phoenix patterns that she had intended to use to commit suicide.
Shi Sui took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then awakened the fourth concubine's imprisoned soul.
"Whether you want to commit suicide or not, you can decide for yourself..."
Shi Sui was not there to resolve the Fourth Concubine's obsession. She was just using the Fourth Concubine's body, which was about to commit suicide, to save the countless innocent souls who died tragically at the hands of the British army.
Therefore, Shi Sui left it to the Fourth Concubine to decide her own future.
Shi Sui poured the memories of nearly a year into the fourth concubine's mind.
Scene after scene of incredible scenes flashed before the Fourth Concubine's eyes like a kaleidoscope.
She saw... She saw the great changes in the Zhan family, and finally learned the truth about the tragic death of her senior sister, the third concubine.
The fourth concubine sobbed and called out "Senior Sister, Senior Sister", with hot tears sliding down her face.
She suddenly picked up the scissors on the table and pressed them against her heart, just like she did the night Miao Jue married into the Zhan family a year ago.
but……
Finally, she put the scissors down.
The home is gone, and the unfaithful man is dead.
But this seems to be a kind of liberation in another sense...
The fourth concubine got up, opened the door of her room and walked into the yard, letting the bright sunlight shine on her body.
She must live well.
…
