85 End of the text (six chapters in one)

◎Ye Pingan, peace, joy and prosperity◎

The investigation into the True Spirit Society and other incidents drew a lot of manpower from Jiang City.

The remaining team outside the Xile Hotel, together with the mobile team organized for Ye Ping'an, were transferred to guard the "door that cannot be closed" leading to the ghost cave.

It was only a dozen minutes, not even the closing time, and the whole world seemed to have changed.

The once antique-style streets have completely turned into a wasteland. Looking around, there is black slime left by strange debris everywhere, flesh and blood wriggling like hairs between broken glass, and blood splattered everywhere, which is really shocking.

It was not until now that Xia Zihan realized what he had heard before about the Investigation Bureau being short of staff.

Unlike in the operation, several investigators faced a strange creature together.

Xia Zihan didn't know whether it was the sudden explosion of strange things or the influence of the golden light falling on [Yucai Academy], but new strange things appeared near the door in rapid succession. It felt like millions of E-level strange things had appeared.

The predecessors' tricks have been used to the point of being out of control, but the weirdness still appears. There are tricks left, but they can't be used directly.

"I'm still fine. The door won't close. We have to protect Boss Ye from behind..."

The unconscious Yao Qing murmured, his face weak and pale.

Xia Zihan supported her and heard a new instruction from the commander.

"A reserve investigator who has passed the Mental Scale and is willing to use trickery to get out of the way."

From the highest score of a formal investigator to the passing score, and even to the reserve investigator, who was allowed to attempt to carry a strange object. The front of the door had become a battlefield that devoured life, either being swallowed by the strangeness or being swallowed by the strange object.

Xia Zihan didn't know what Boss Ye's current situation was.

But like Yao Qing said, we can't let these scumbags attack the siege near [Yucai College] and attack Boss Ye from behind at such a dangerous time.

"My score is still a little short, I think I can give it a try."

Xia Zihan stepped forward and took the strange object.

She is not as strong as Boss Ye, but at least she can deal with a few more monsters before they retaliate.

The rising sun could not be found in the sky at all. All one could see was golden light coming from nowhere and converging towards the increasingly bright pillar of light.

A huge black shadow appeared above the city.

The supreme terrifying existence just appeared, and the irresistible pressure made the blood in his body seem to solidify.

Even the strange thing that just appeared was frightened and stopped in place, trembling.

Xia Zihan had just started carrying the strange creature and was not very skilled. He struggled to control it under pressure and stabbed it. The strange creature was like a punctured ball, and black liquid gushed out.

Xia Zihan looked up blankly and saw a black and red torso rising from the southwest. He could not see its feet or its head. The entire city looked as small as an ant in front of it.

That statue is... a Buddha statue.

Living Buddha statue.

What’s even more terrifying is that there is more than one black shadow appearing in the sky.

Black and red Buddha statues, blood-red wings with eyes, snow-white palaces...

One after another, suffocating behemoths emerged from the light.

Majestic, sacred, and terrifying.

Anqi, who was looking for someone with her in the food street, was completely unable to move and stared blankly at the sky.

The news that just popped up is stuck on the phone screen.

"To all citizens, the mysterious resurgence of 1997 has been prevented. Please protect your lives and hold on to hope. Now, I'll announce the three mysterious laws..."

What is that in the sky?

Is that really something that humans can stop?

The world... is about to be destroyed?

The van trembled in the golden light and turned its wheels slightly.

Lin Yu's hands and feet couldn't stop shaking from the instinctive fear. She gritted her teeth, pulled An Qi up, and retreated back to the shadow of the van. "Don't just stand there! Get away!"

-

Cracks have appeared in restricted area No. 1. The investigators guarding outside the other two restricted areas looked at the golden light in the sky and knew that it was only a matter of time before the defense line was broken.

Crisis alarms from all over the place kept coming one after another around Director Zhang outside restricted area No. 3.

"...Commander, urgent message from the border. Cross fireworks are going off into the sky. We've received a radio signal. 'We will defend our homeland until hell falls. May you succeed, may we succeed.'"

The investigator who reported the incident choked up a little, "This is the last team from abroad."

Zhang Qingyi stood in the small pavilion next to the stone tablet and nodded, as if responding to the people who stood firm in the distance, "I wish us success."

She glanced around at the solemn-looking investigators and smiled. "Why are you so serious? Ye Ping'an helped us contain the restricted area and weakened the distortion. Consultant Tu Shansui helped us intercept the initial riot in the restricted area and bought us time... There's no time to be sad."

The old man held onto the altar in the pavilion and looked up at the back of the pavilion.

Above the mountains, the misty clouds gathered golden light, which fell to the end of the long rainbow in the distance, reflecting an enormous white jade city.

There is a White Jade Palace in the sky, with five towers and twelve cities.

Everyone who sees the city will think of the mythical wonderland.

However, there are no gods in the city.

Zhang Qingyi's sunken eye sockets lit up slightly, as if he could still see the prosperous mountain gate and the throngs of tourists.

The obscuring fog in the restricted area had dissipated, and what she could see more clearly were the withered pines and cypresses among the peaks, and the dilapidated pavilions and halls.

Unlike the deep pit in Forbidden Zone No. 1, everything beneath the Heavenly Palace had completely decayed, leaving only bones. Anyone could see that this wasn't a sudden disaster, but rather a gradual decay.

"Only when our last drop of blood has been shed, our last trace of human spirit has been lost, and we have tried everything we could, can we say, 'We have done all we can, and we can leave it to fate.'"

Zhang Qingyi silently recited the oath that everyone had made when they first learned about the strange revival.

She is the only one left alive from the first generation of the Bureau.

Director Zhang cut open his palm, and the blood soaked the gray-white candle, outlining intricate patterns on the altar, like a talisman that no one used anymore.

"The Mysterious Sect of Heaven and Earth, the root of all mysteries. Cultivate for countless eons to prove my divine powers..."

Zhang Qingyi chanted the Golden Light Mantra, lit three pure candles, raised them above his head, and said loudly, "The Way of the Orthodox Oneness Alliance of Longhu Mountain began with clearing the mountains, destroying temples, and purging evil spirits. Disciple Zhang Qingyi, please ask the ancestor to restart the dragon and tiger."

The wind is blowing.

The old man exuded a strong and cold scent of incense and candles, and the flames of three clean candles flickered.

Continuous candlelight lit up on the empty altar, and one black and white tablet after another appeared, as if they had always been there.

Zhang Qingyi saw phantom shadows appear on the tablet, and the candlelight reflected the pale faces of his former teachers, disciples, relatives and friends.

They were smiling at her.

Names were written on the tablets, and a chilling wind blew through them, stirring their decaying bones. Grayish-white powder fell from their bodies, gathering into candle-like shapes.

Within the Dragon and Tiger Mountain gate, transformed into a forbidden zone, the sounds of chewing incessantly echoed day and night. They were prey trapped within the forbidden zone, part of the resurrection of a strange spirit, and...

Humanity seizes the power of the gods' corpses in order to imprison and resurrect the evil gods.

Zhang Qingyi was too old, too old. His hunched back slowly straightened, his frail robes rustling in the wind, his thin frame like an upright flag.

She also smiled at her relatives and friends who were turning into ashes.

"Today, we will defeat the dragon and tiger and break the Dao sect."

The faint light from the cracked stone tablet completely disappeared, and a wave of golden light surged down in the forbidden area.

The candle in Zhang Qingyi's hand burned rapidly. In just a moment, a number of tiny human figures as small as ants appeared in the ethereal fairyland surrounded by golden light.

The mortals who had been engulfed by the golden light fell silent, and the golden auspicious clouds and auspicious air surrounding the heavenly palace turned into dense golden talisman shadows, like sharp swords hanging in the sky.

Most of the golden light that was flowing towards the [Yucai College] light column was instantly snatched away and merged into the golden talisman.

Zhang Qingyi stood between the tablets, with his fingers forming a sword, pointing at the distant Buddhist kingdom that illuminated the sky.

"Exorcise the ghosts and slay the evil!"

The last two words resounded in the sky, and thousands of talismans fell like rain.

Lin Yu, who was moving with difficulty, could not hear any sound. There was only a loud sound like a dragon's roar between heaven and earth.

A golden talisman fell from the sky, splitting the sky in two, like a sword cutting through the sky.

The Buddha statue cracked in the middle, its body tilted, and it was forcibly knocked off the lotus platform.

The sky on the side where it stood turned into a sea of blood, with huge waves of black and red flesh rushing down.

Almost at the same time, huge monsters rising from the sky lit up with golden light of different outlines and slammed into each other fiercely.

The White Jade Palace collapsed with cracks, and the piles of bones built into the city shattered and fell.

Gao Fei's huge wings were split open and fell down, and the wings were constantly twisted as if they were ignited by fire.

…

The heaven and earth shook, and incomprehensible wails and roars echoed in the clouds.

There are gods and Buddhas everywhere in the sky, and ants everywhere on the ground.

But at this moment, the majestic and sacred statues in the sky were no longer flawless. Like giant boils bursting open, a sickening stench of decay emanated from the holy golden light.

Lin Yu leaned in the cold shadow of the van, his cell phone dimly lit.

She read out the last sentence of the news in a daze.

"...We will resist to the very end. May humanity live forever, may life never die, and may the dawn finally come."

As the Sky God Statue fell, the trembling van suddenly stopped.

An Qi, trembling with fear, held onto the car door. "I saw the Investigation Bureau logo on the news in the photo Xia Xia posted. Could it be that Xia Xia is also fighting ghosts like those people on the mountain?"

Lin Yu regained his spirits, "Cheche, can you still move? Let's go find some new weirdos for you to eat?"

The hood of the van was open, as if it was grinning.

-

As the golden light fell, the towering coffins on the edge of restricted area No. 2 began to rumble.

The mountains were filled with hanging coffins, which creaked open and out crawled stiff, grey bodies.

The terrifying shadow in the sky disappeared. Wang Xiaomei and her daughter had just breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the hospital. Then they heard a dull banging sound outside the hospital door.

The woman's head hung crookedly on her shoulders, as if she was doing a strange dance.

The old man, who looked like a giant, had his clothes torn, his half-exposed body was covered with skin fragments, and his open mouth was filled with sharp teeth.

The man landed on all fours, his neck stretched out like a spider, spraying mucus. He took a step and appeared in the next pool of blood on the ground.

The rising cold air was so cold that it made their bones ache. The crowd following these "people" walked through the hospital wall step by step.

The evil god retreated temporarily, and the newly born weirdness came like a tide, and the streets were filled with misty black and gray fog, which became thicker and thicker.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid, it's just an E-level weirdness, we can hold on! The more fearful you are, the stronger it becomes. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

The investigators who stayed at the hospital shouted before their fear could no longer be contained.

When the mysterious existence can no longer be concealed, densely populated areas may encourage each other or suffer a collective collapse.

With someone taking the lead, the commotion in the hospital was resolved under command.

Crash~

Yellow paper money fluttered down and the crisp sound of jingling bells rang out.

A figure walked out of the fog, and with every step he took, thousands of overlapping footsteps rang out behind him.

She wore a green-faced, fang-toothed devil mask and rang the bell with her hand. Her voice was hoarse and hoarse, as if she had not spoken in many years.

"Please, everyone, help me to exorcise the demon."

A zombie with a deathly pale face walked out with her, its hideous and twisted body bound strangely.

The ringing sound faded away, and the fog outside the hospital dissipated, leaving only the ghost slaves who were forcibly knocked unconscious on the ground. The monsters and zombies disappeared without a trace.

The hospital investigator was dumbfounded. "Are these... the investigators who guard the restricted area?"

Some of the golden light that escaped from the edge of the restricted area dyed the guards golden, making them look like heavenly soldiers and generals wearing golden armor.

The golden light instantly outlined the strange contours nearby, and the golden-armored ghost controller walked out of the restricted area. As the restricted area was opened, all the strange things that appeared fell like waves of wheat.

No more incense ash fell outside the No. 3 restricted area, and the light and shadow of the tablet in the candlelight seemed to begin to burn and disappear little by little.

Zhang Qingyi's thin body was filled with golden light, and his bones were illuminated, like a skeleton in golden light.

Looking at the ruins of the Heavenly Palace that fell into the restricted area, Zhang Qingyi smiled softly.

"The gods are immortal. You, resurrected from their corpses, will devour far too many people. You want our spirits, and that gives us the chance to usurp their corpses. Chang Geng taught me, my master, that gods of different origins can consume and restrict each other. But the world is dying, and I still see no hope of survival."

Anyone who has seen a ghost den can imagine the horrific end of being captured and devoured by the weird creature.

The Investigation Bureau, which has been preparing for decades, has no possibility of usurping power for a second time and launching an attack. It is a completely mutually destructive fight.

Director Zhang looked in the direction of [Yucai College]. The strange gods that were severely injured by each other fell from the sky, but the golden light that converged towards the light column did not disappear, but became much less.

"The Fox Fairy has found a variable. I hope the sun will rise today."

-

Everything in the sky was in turmoil, only the golden pillar of light remained standing. It began to fall towards the principal, then gradually expanded until it enveloped Ye Ping'an and the entire principal's office.

The enormous pressure and distortion belonging to the gods did not disappear. The investigators who entered the campus were unable to move before they even got close to the principal's office and touched the light column.

Tu Shansui held the small stele in his palm, and the light drawn back from each forbidden area converged on the stele. The small stele served as the hilt of a sword, and the golden sword light grew inch by inch.

In contrast to the Wanli Fulu sword that cut through the sky, this sword did not have a sharp feeling. Instead, it was simple, heavy, calm and gentle.

Like the mountains of the earth.

Tu Shansui walked towards the beam of light step by step, his heartbeat stopped, his blood rushed, his fox tail and ears popped out uncontrollably, and his exploding fur looked like a hedgehog.

He suddenly remembered his heartbeat when he first saw Ye Ping'an.

Now, he can distinguish between fear and excitement.

Tu Shansui was outside the principal's office, which was shrouded in golden light. With little strength left, he raised his hand and thrust the golden sword into the beam of light.

Patterns like broken glass emerged from the beam of light, and the beam of light mixed with multiple golden lights cracked.

The face of the principal's sculpture, which served as the "hub" of the golden light, was completely shattered into dust, and the beam of light falling on it shattered into countless golden lights.

The repetitive sound in the principal's office had become stuttered, as if the principal couldn't remember what was coming next.

"My name is Ye Ping'an, peace, joy,..."

"Ye Ping'an!" Tu Shansui strode into the principal's office.

He met an expressionless face and a pair of eyes that were almost completely occupied by golden light.

The broken golden light did not dissipate, but surged towards Ye Ping'an.

A new golden beam of light shot up into the sky, and Tushan Sui was pinned down underneath. The skinny white-haired young man's fur exploded, and he turned back into a white fox.

Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky full of golden light, and the stench of blood and rain drifted from the sky.

The commander outside [Yucai College] looked up and saw endless darkness pressing down.

The golden light and darkness were connected. The commander blinked and realized that it was a huge, fragmented body gathered together, and the shadows filled the sky that could be seen here.

A mass of ever-expanding fat and flesh formed bulging lips and tongue, a cracked piece of pure white bone transformed into a row of teeth, and a half-feather with eyes stuck out of its head...

The fragmented body of the statue bit each other, piecing together a scarlet face floating in the golden light, which was indescribably weird and disgusting.

The commander felt very disappointed.

The corpses of the gods that had smashed into each other had already fallen, and the golden light that emerged was no longer so overwhelming. They were dragging each other down, and their speed towards Ye Pingan was also reduced to the minimum, gaining an opportunity to fundamentally limit the strangeness.

But when the gods would rather abandon the broken corpses and choose to merge together...

The stitched-like face looks ridiculous and not as powerful as before, but it is just as terrifying to humans.

Golden light fell directly from the floating face, like a vast ocean rushing towards Ye Ping'an, and the clouds and mist were all dyed with golden light.

Just one look and the light almost blinded my eyes, and my consciousness became blurred.

Do not look directly at it, do not peek into it.

There is no place for any living thing in the midst of such splendor.

The scarlet sky, with golden light cascading down like a cascade, was like a greedy tongue licking the tightly bound prey below.

"Life, a glimmer of hope!"

Multiple ecstatic voices overlapped each other, and hearing them would drive people's consciousness into madness.

Only the white fox was unaffected, its fur stained red with blood. It raised its front paws with its dying breath, and moved slowly, crawling into the center of the light column.

"She is a ray of hope, who will give her hope?"

Tu Shansui moved to Ye Ping'an's feet and heard her repeating in slow speed, "My name is..."

The white fox raised its paw and revealed a faintly glowing stone sword, which it placed on Ye Ping'an, who was completely enveloped in the light.

"You are, Ye Ping'an."

The eyes were almost completely occupied by golden light, and there was an extra figure in the reflection.

Tu Shansui propped himself up and stood up. He paused as he looked at the "Principal's Office" filled with golden light. "Is this... the world in Ye Ping'an's eyes? Are they going to replace her?"

The "Principal's Office" in his mind didn't contain Ye Ping'an, nor did the principal across from him. The overflowing golden light shattered almost every wall, creating a path leading to the chaotic area outside.

Tu Shan Sui chased after him without hesitation.

The two sides of the chaos turned into light and shadow images, and the last clip was Ye Ping'an threatening the "chef".

Tushan Jiuwei's talent lies in consciousness and recognition. Even though his relatives were unable to teach him much, Tushan Sui was able to sense that something was wrong with the scene after stumbling and groping his way through.

Consciousness should have started from the very beginning, but here it seems like time is going backwards.

At the end of the road, golden light continued to shine, and it seemed that the collective of gods that entered here had not yet succeeded.

Tu Shansui quickened his pace, but in his mind the speed of the long road did not change with his actions.

Scenes of light and shadow passed by on both sides.

Ye Ping'an happily ate breakfast before going out, Ye Ping'an smiled as he touched the fox, and Ye Ping'an rolled around on the gold coin bed with his stuffed toy.

Those who prepare banquets, those who deliver food, those who try to sell herbal medicine, those who proudly accept awards and advertise...

Tu Shansui watched her carefully put away the messages of thanks and praise for the food. The bedroom was filled with medals and banners of all sizes.

Along the way, Ye Ping'an seemed to have changed, yet also seemed to have not changed.

The brilliant smile in the light and shadow did not seem fake. At least, she really liked this world.

As the road came to the end, Tu Shansui saw from afar a high wall of colorful paper money piled up.

After calculating the time, Tu Shansui suddenly understood.

This is... the starting point of Ye Ping'an's arrival in this world.

The stitched-together statue emanated golden light, continuously bombarding the wall.

Ye Ping'an followed beside it, expressionless and motionless, as if he had no idea what it was doing.

Ye Ping'an's usually bright eyes gradually dimmed, and she just murmured, "My name is... My name is..."

The statue noticed Tushan Sui chasing after it, and suddenly it shone with golden light.

Boom!

The wall of paper money was knocked down by the golden light and completely wiped out from the end of the light and shadow.

Behind the wall was pure darkness.

“Wow—”

A faint baby cry could be heard in the darkness.

"Found it! Found it!" The statue squeezed out a large amount of golden light and then shrank a lot, but the sound of its wild laughter was still loud.

The golden light rushed into the darkness impatiently.

The light illuminated a pair of dark eyes.

The eyes had no whites, almost inhuman, indifferent and pure, with nothing inside.

Those were a pair of baby's eyes.

The baby, covered in bruises, lay in his mother's coffin, with a pool of black and red coagulated blood beside him. It seemed that he had died before he was born.

It opened its eyes in the darkness, showing a hint of life, but it still remained motionless like a dead object, staring at the strange statue that appeared outside without any reaction.

"The time for life has come, and 'I' should be born!" The multiple voices of the statue overlapped and made a rumbling sound.

The golden light paved the road, and across it flowed the memory time after the baby was born.

Then the dark coffin that appeared in the light and shadow opened, and twisted and strange figures were seen around the coffin.

They looked like they were being buried, each of them casually covered with yellowed white cloth.

A paper figure with the word "甸" (Dedication) on its head flew in the air, scattering white paper money. A suona floated in the air, playing a dull and harsh tune by itself.

When the coffin was opened, paper money flew everywhere and a suona made a clanging sound.

The rotting zombie looked down at the coffin and nearly had his head fall off.

The skeleton dog jumped up, and its bones were scattered all over the ground.

The ghost girl in the wedding dress lifted the veil to wrap the baby. The squirming octopus tentacles in the air tangled together to barely form a cradle. Gusts of cold wind blew around the baby, poking the baby's expressionless face.

"A child? A child! A child was born!"

The ghosts shouted crazily and held up the baby as if they had seen something rare.

Tu Shansui had not yet walked the last distance, but he also heard the baby crying.

The strange god has found the starting point of life and is only waiting to replace it.

Tu Shansui shouted anxiously, "Ye Ping'an! Remember, you are Ye Ping'an!"

The golden light of the statue poured into the darkness, and the paved road was blocked by the light and shadow, unable to move forward.

The light and shadow froze at the moment when the baby was picked up, and it turned around to look at Ye Ping'an who was following it blankly.

His tone was calm, like that of a kind teacher who was guiding and advising.

"Why bother stopping me? You were raised by the Ghost. You should know that giving life to living things won't last long. Desires are endless, and they will eventually return to the abyss and die. Give me life, and the underworld will last forever. The Ghost World can also be the human world."

A light shout sounded like the ringing of a golden bowl.

"Ghost baby, you should wake up!"

In the light and shadow ahead, the baby looked at the statue expressionlessly.

"Why……"

The voice was vague, and the three words were sometimes childish, sometimes mature, but they were all equally cold.

The grown-up baby stood behind the statue. The young woman raised her head expressionlessly, her pupils, which had been occupied by the golden light, now became pitch black.

The chaotic blur at the edge of light and shadow turned into pure darkness, and a chilling abyss like a prison descended.

"It was my first time to see a concert, my first time to have so many customers write letters to me sincerely, my first time to attend a wedding banquet in person, my first time to receive an award, my first time to hire employees, and my first time to touch a real furry thing..."

"I learned that not everything requires money, and not all transactions require equal return. I learned to accept gifts, make friends, and I became more and more like a human being."

"I'm a law-abiding person, eager to help others, and I've made my fortune with my own hands. I'm a qualified citizen. I just want to be an ordinary small boss, make a little money, and live a good life."

"Why?"

"Do you have to wake me up?"

The female voice was cold and flat, as if she was talking about someone else, without a trace of emotion.

With every word spoken, the darkness thickened.

The statue finally realized the strangeness, and golden light shone brightly, ready to force its way out like before.

The dazzling golden light touched the chaotic darkness around it, and it was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing without a trace.

There was no earth-shattering collision, no shimmering aftermath of light escaping.

The deep and silent darkness was like an abyss that stretched across the sky. The golden light that was bright enough to illuminate the entire sky could not even stir up a ripple in the darkness.

The stitched-together statue overflowed with so much golden light that the edges that were biting each other began to shake and break.

"You...you...you're going to devour us?!"

The golden light trembled, and the voice suddenly changed its tone. The unconcealable arrogance made a 180-degree turn and turned into a plea, "We can apologize, we can leave, you can join us... The gods are immortal and will devour us. You will eventually become us! The world is annihilated, and all living things are doomed. We cannot change it. Only by gaining vitality and eternal survival in the underworld can we save the world!"

"We also want the world to last forever! You will regret it, you will definitely regret it!"

Endless darkness slowly pressed down, silently, without stopping because of the struggling golden light, nor becoming lighter because of the prayers and excuses.

The evil god treats the people of the world like fish, and the darkness treats it the same way.

"No, you will regret it when you reach the end of your journey," said the young woman.

The god roared like a trapped beast, then sneered. "How long have you been born? Just over twenty years, a mere fleeting moment in the world!"

The baby lying among the ghosts uttered a childish voice, "I saw it with my own eyes."

Have you seen it?

Seen it!

Saw it!!!

Amidst great shock and ecstasy, the statue's resistance came to an abrupt end.

It laughed loudly, "You are not a ghost born here, you are! You came from another world! The world is coming to an end, and you are alive. Now that you have seen the end, you should know that only the netherworld can survive forever!"

The young woman's voice was flat. "I see, they all regretted it."

The expressionless young woman took a step forward, and darkness spread out obediently under her feet, paving the long road into the only gorgeous carpet in the world. The light and shadow on both sides began to change again.

In the memory of light and shadow, ghosts carried the coffin and bid farewell to the last living person in the world.

The living, deliberately avoided by ghosts, eventually died because they could not resist the endless ghost energy of the world. After being buried, the corpse in the coffin gave birth to a ghost fetus.

The only ray of life in the world was born too late.

Ghosts naturally hate the living and devour life. But when the world is about to die, ghosts don't want to return to the silence of death.

They began to imitate living people and developed their own thoughts.

They began to yearn for life. However, no matter how they tried to hold on and make amends, they were already doomed, and could only watch the world completely collapse bit by bit.

When the last living person died, the world was filled with ghosts and no more intelligent creatures.

Intelligent beings died, plants and animals died, and the world itself died.

Even a ghost baby with vitality cannot save the dead world and bring it back to life.

The dead human mother was named "Changsheng", and the ghosts named the ghost baby "Ping'an".

The ghost baby is cold-hearted by nature, without any emotions or desires, and doesn't even care about its own life.

Ghosts have their own laws, and living people have their own purpose for existence. The ghost baby does not care about life, and even it cannot continue to grow.

The ghosts tried every possible way, and finally the smartest old ghost found the theory in the book of living people and imitated the way living people raised ghost babies, which led to some changes.

Even if ghosts have thoughts, they don't have any real creativity. They just repeat the same thing day after day and year after year.

They found undamaged books and electronic devices and read to the ghost baby, teaching the child little by little. There were no stories or TV to watch, only old videos and books.

The first word of peace that the demons taught us is “eat.”

People need to eat.

After messing up one thousand and one dishes, the ghosts copied the cooking movements from the video and managed to do it pretty well.

The few plants and animals that still lingered were killed by the ghosts at their first touch, much like the protected animals of the past. Using as little food as possible was a heinous crime; wasting food was a grave sin. The newly dead plants and animals became food for the ghost babies.

The ghost baby brings vitality, and ghosts are all willing to come to her.

Even without feeling any signs of life, the ghost baby's safety is a change that occurs in the almost unchanging dead world.

The ghosts are her family. The "big family" is like playing house. They gather around the place where the ghost babies eat and grow up. They start to have jobs and businesses.

People need to make money.

The ghost baby grew up slowly.

Ping An got used to looking for fallen heads for his family, got used to his family giving him new clothes according to his clothes, got used to the seats being moved around in the car, got used to the strange decorations on the road... He also got used to the booming business of his family's restaurant and got used to the "simple and honest" city of A.

But all living animals are afraid of her, so Ping An can only deal with food.

The ghost baby Ping'an watched his family cook year after year and learned good cooking skills, and the Xile Restaurant became a small boss.

She makes money when she likes and cooks when she likes.

The ghosts only want the ghost babies to be safe and happy, and that the day of the world's destruction will come later.

But after the ghost baby was born, the world only existed for twenty-four years.

The ghosts will eventually die.

The collapsing and dead world continued to collapse and fall, and finally it was the turn of the small restaurant in the middle that the ghosts were protecting.

Ping An sat at the door of the hotel, never waiting for familiar customers to come.

Ping An finally understood that she was the last person and the last ghost in the Blue Star world.

The ghost baby, whose face had grown more smiling as she grew older, sat on the steps, her face as expressionless as it had been at the beginning. She held the removed sign, silently watching the bricks and stones crumble and fall.

The hotel had been reinforced with layers of ghostly energy, and when it collapsed, the rubble dissipated into dust as soon as it fell.

Before the hotel collapsed completely, Ping An met a Taoist couple.

The man in Taoist robe drew a circle in the air with the sword in his hand, and the collapse of the hotel solidified in the circle.

The woman smiled and said her name was Ye Quan, and she was a traveler from the underworld.

"We travel the universe, connecting those worlds that haven't yet begun reincarnation with the underworld, allowing the world to continue to thrive. Little girl, what a coincidence! We're in the same business. I also run a restaurant."

Ping An stared at her blankly, only concerned about one thing, "Can my world still be reincarnated?"

Ye Quan sighed, "Your world is dead. It will disperse into the universe, and countless years later, a new world will be born. I led it into the underworld, the River of Oblivion, to speed up the process, but the new world will no longer be yours. Little girl, you have life, and you are born with the ability to leave here and live in other worlds. If you continue to stay, you will die with it."

Ping An shook his head, "This is my home, my family is here."

"But your family wants you to live."

Ye Quan simply sat down next to her, and they watched together as the endless void was exposed by the collapse of the outside world.

The man in Taoist robe said nothing and spread out his sleeve as a cushion for Ye Quan.

Ye Quan thought for a long time, "There's a stupid method that's not sure if it will work. If you can find a dying world, use your vitality to save it, start the cycle of reincarnation and lead it into the underworld, then your world will have a chance to enter reincarnation together."

"Oh my god!" Ping'an's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ye Quan laughed, "Don't be impatient."

She counted on her fingers, "There are countless worlds in the universe, and finding one that meets the requirements is incredibly difficult. It has to be on the verge of death but not dead, it has to be similar to your world's civilization, it has to give rise to strange monsters from the same deathly silence, and it has to have the potential to save the world and allow you to start the cycle of reincarnation...

I can stop your world from collapsing, but it will continue to drain your vitality. You might even run out of vitality and die along the way.

“Also, the aura of death in this entire world is too strong and must be sealed away so that you can enter the new world with it as a living person.

But after being sealed, you might not remember who you are or what you were meant to do, and you'll have very little power to draw upon. You can bring life, but you might also accelerate death. Success or failure is uncertain."

"I'll go."

Ping An picked up the restaurant sign and said, "My family wants me to live as a human being, and I just want to live well."

"Okay." Ye Quan patted her and picked up a corner of the sign. "Come, I'll help you hang it back up. When you start your reincarnation and enter the underworld, remember to call me for dinner. My last name is Ye, don't make the mistake."

The ghost baby Ping An walked into the void of the universe with the frozen hotel, trekking in the nothingness between the worlds.

She searched for a long, long time, and finally saw a similar world.

The ghost baby entered the new world, and the aura of death almost disappeared in the hotel.

A small building rose from the ground in a remote part of Jiang City. Ye Ping'an was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by paper money knocking on the window.

In the morning sunshine, Ye Ping'an polished his signboard. "My name is... Ye Ping'an, the peace of joy and prosperity."

The light and shadow came to an end, and the expressionless young woman smiled again, a bright smile, and stretched slowly in her flip-flops.

The ghost baby has seen the darkness and madness of people, and has also seen many beautiful things.

The golden light of the statue was dragged by the darkness, moving backwards like a dead dog. When it finally stopped, it was swallowed by the boundless darkness, leaving only a faint firefly-like dot.

The overlapping voices of the statues kept wailing, "Forgive me, forgive me, I was wrong, I am willing to go to the underworld to be punished, I am willing to enter the cycle of reincarnation..."

Ye Pingan sighed, "You don't know you're wrong, you know you're going to die."

"You're causing trouble every day, affecting my business. Public security is ruined by you psychopaths. Can't we just live a good life? If someone dies, the world will be gone. Where will I go to do business?"

The darkness moved, spinning the fragments of the statue like a spinning top, causing them to tremble.

The statue's pieced-together face could no longer maintain a smile, and its frozen expression was uglier than crying.

What kind of horrific existence has been released?

Ye Pingan sneered, "Stop pretending to be dead. You know what I'm looking for. You represent the death of the world, so you must know where the life force is. Tell me! If you don't, I'm dying soon, and I don't mind taking a few more breaths of death energy——"

"Ye Ping'an!"

Tu Shansui was running wildly on the road of light and shadow, interrupting her urgently.

The usually neat white clothes were covered in blood and torn into tatters.

The fur on his skin couldn't help but emerge. The closer he got to the front, the more nervously his fox ears curled back into airplane ears. His fox tail stiffened into a stick and wrapped around his legs, causing him to stumble every few steps, but he never stopped.

Tushan Sui held up the small stele in his hand, "This is... This is the stele of the land and mountains and rivers entrusted to Tushan by His Majesty Xuanyuan. This is the remaining vitality of the earth.

"You won't die!"

Ye Ping'an turned around, his dark eyes like the abyss.

Her eyes moved from Tu Shansui's face to the small stele, and she spread out her hands.

Being stared at by Ding Ding, the fur on Tu Shan Sui's tail exploded.

It was impossible to tell what Ye Ping'an was thinking from his face. Tu Shansui dragged his stiff body, insisted on shortening the last few steps, and handed the small tablet to her.

Ye Ping'an looked at the small tablet and didn't take it.

Her smile faded. "You will die."

Tushan Sui pursed his lips helplessly, "This is what Tushan should do."

The strange tide that was once stopped will revive again many years later.

The stele left behind by His Majesty Xuanyuan is also His Majesty's deceased corpse. It is connected to the earth and has become the only A-level strange object that will not strangely revive before its vitality is exhausted.

The auspicious beast Tushan is sleeping in the Xuanyuan Tomb, carrying the strange creatures together, waiting to be reawakened by the strange revival.

There may be variables, but His Majesty Xuanyuan doesn't know what they will be, and no one in the Tushan clan knows either.

Tushan Sui is the youngest fox of the Tushan clan and the only remaining Tushan clan member to carry the strange creatures. The stone tablet has carried him through the ages, and also through the long years of his sleep.

Give him the tablet, and he will die, but...

In the light and shadow of his memory, Tu Shansui saw the destruction of another world and the birth of variables in the new world.

The memories in the conscious world cannot be false, which means that the underworld and the other world are real.

Reincarnation is the hope of the world.

The hope brought by the changes has arrived, and this is Tushan’s mission.

Tu Shansui held the small tablet and handed it forward, just like he did every time he clumsily stuffed a gift into the Xile Hotel.

"...With the world's remaining vitality responding, reincarnation will begin. You won't die, and neither will the world, right?"

"Of course I'm going to die."

Tu Shan Sui's eyes widened, his emerald green pupils were round and round, and he looked a little silly.

He stammered, "But, but the underworld..."

Ye Ping'an closed his palms and held Tu Shansui's hand and the small stele together. The endless darkness beside him gradually enveloped the small stele.

The faint golden light seemed to have sensed the breath of death and slowly emerged.

Ye Pingan said calmly, "Using strange things requires a price, and starting the reincarnation cycle and leading it into the underworld also requires a price."

Tu Shansui said without hesitation, "I'll do it for you."

Ye Pingan raised a finger and shook it, "You will die without a tombstone, how can you replace it?"

Tu Shansui's face lost all color, "I..."

Ye Pingan didn't care at all, "Besides, I'm a ghost baby, right? But well, we're all friends, you can join in and help me."

Tu Shansui nodded immediately without asking a single question.

Ye Ping'an gave an order, "Tushan, let me touch your tail."

Tushan Sui:?

The ear of the airplane that Tu Shansui instinctively held on to suddenly turned red.

"My beloved concubine Tushan, why are you so distant?"

Ye Pingan opened his mouth and turned the tables, "We've known each other for so long, and you've secretly rubbed my hand so many times while I didn't know your identity. What's wrong with touching me again?"

Her voice was very clear and serious, as if she was not the one who grabbed the fox and wanted to touch it all over.

Tu Shansui: ...

Tu Shansui lifted up the stiff, bristly tail and held it out hesitantly, "What's the use of the tail?"

The white fox and the human fox tail have the same fluffy hair, but the amount is completely different.

Wow, I can even hold its big tail while sleeping.

Ye Pingan pinched the tail and touched it all over. Tu Shansui's face was red as if it was about to bleed, but he didn't dare to move. "Is it okay?"

Ye Pingan spoke slowly, pressing the issue further, "Where are your ears?"

Tu Shansui finally felt something was wrong, "...Is it really useful?"

Forget it, there’s no need to rush to touch the furry thing.

Ye Pingan said confidently, "If it helps my mood, isn't that the most useful help?"

Tushan Sui yanked out his tail, and the nine forked fluffy fox tail looked like a peacock spreading its feathers, which exploded into a ball behind his back and swayed back and forth unhappily.

Tu Shansui was depressed, "Don't make fun of me. The world has started reincarnation, what will you do?"

The death of two worlds, the death of the only ghost baby, in exchange for the life of another world.

It's certainly a good thing for most people.

What about the ghost baby itself? How is it different from being devoured and killed by the evil spirit?

Perhaps because he saw hope, Tu Shansui developed a bit of selfishness.

He didn't want Ye Ping'an to die.

But he couldn't think of a good solution.

The fox's eyes were red and he was speechless for a moment.

The messy snow mountain turned into water, and tears filled its eyes, trembling with ripples.

Ye Ping'an smiled and shook his head, "They say fox spirits are smart, how can you be so dumb? After reincarnation, I, a ghost baby, will be considered a true adult. Although I am a special 'human', everyone will die and will go to the underworld to reincarnate."

Tu Shan Sui's snow-white eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't help but let the tears fall.

He wiped it off carelessly and stared at Ye Ping'an closely, "Really?"

"Um."

Ye Ping'an nodded.

Tu Shansui breathed a sigh of relief and tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't.

The weak fox was held down with one hand.

Ye Pingan rolled his eyes at him. "Are you so eager to die? You've already been connected to this monument. If we want to bring vitality to the world, you're indispensable. Just wait."

The two of them stopped at the end of the darkness, holding hands. Tu Shansui moved his fingers, and before Ye Ping'an could glare at him, he quietly interlocked his fingers.

"That's right." Ye Ping'an smiled.

Tu Shan Sui couldn't help but feel his face flushed. He turned his head away and looked at the golden light of the statue in the darkness.

As he spoke, the wailing of the statue became weaker and weaker. Under the darkness, the faint light of the small stele waxed and waned, like a ray of morning light, falling into Ye Ping'an's palm.

Light and darkness intertwined and rotated, and a baby's cry sounded from the depths of the world of consciousness.

-

Tu Shan Sui shattered the pillar of light with his sword, and it quickly re-ignited. [Yucai Academy] The shattered statues in the sky stitched together, revealing a new, gigantic face.

The white fox fell dying in the light column. It seemed that the last A-level monster had reached the end of its strength.

The strange god even just glanced at it, and the distorted pressure it brought caused the defense line outside the [Yucai Academy] area to completely collapse.

Just like an elephant lifting its foot casually, the slight breeze it creates can bring disaster to the insects.

Anyone who saw that terrifying, devouring face felt an irresistible despair.

Humans’ counterattack against the gods was to usurp their power through the gods’ corpses and make them attack each other.

But when the powers of the evil gods merge together, humans are almost powerless to fight back.

"The battle is not over yet!" Shocked by the shadow of the statue, the investigator stared at the trembling monster on the ground, moved his body bit by bit with difficulty, and pounced on it.

"Wait... that face in the sky seems to have gotten smaller?"

In the desperate struggle, one can clearly feel whether the pressure brought by the shadow of the statue has been reduced.

Everyone raised their heads in surprise and looked towards the sky.

The statue did indeed become smaller, shrinking dozens of times in just one minute.

It no longer blocks out the sun, but shakes in the sky like a big kite.

The golden light column also became thinner, and the golden light flowing towards Ye Ping'an became thinner and thinner.

Like a sheep that has been plucked clean from the ground for three feet, it squeezed for a long time but finally couldn't get any more out.

[Yucai College] The golden beams of light that gathered suddenly went out.

“Wow—”

No matter they were fighting against the monsters, evacuating with the main force, or defending the border against the ferocious ghost slaves and beasts pouring in from outside the Blue Country, at the same moment, everyone heard a baby crying in a trance.

After the beam of light went out, a red sun jumped out from the dark sky and hung over the Yucai College.

Endless light swept across the entire world.

[Yucai College] Everyone nearby saw white. When their vision returned, they saw the huge face of the stitched-together statue falling from the sky.

The pressure that distorted and crushed consciousness completely disappeared. Everyone was still in shock, repeatedly looking up and down in disbelief, confirming that the golden light and the statue in the sky were gone.

The bright sunlight and golden light were both very dazzling, but the golden light of the evil god was terrifying and had no warmth. When the sunlight fell on the body, it felt warm.

A strange black gas rose up in the sunlight, and the man screamed and fled into the shadows.

The investigators still fighting on the front lines were dumbfounded. "Can sunlight harm the weird?"

Without taking the time to think about where the change came from, they rushed forward with the strange things.

As soon as they started, they noticed a clear difference. "The Gui has become much weaker! Using the Gui consumes less vitality... No, we've already eaten the last bite of food we got."

"The knot... is it over?"

The commander heard the investigator's dazed question and stared at the principal's office. "Quick! The team that has entered the campus, please go to the principal's office and confirm the casualties!"

The principal's body fell to the ground, and the investigator, who was pinned down and unable to move, stood beside it. Once the pressure was released, he fell to the ground.

But the experienced rescue team immediately discovered after a simple check that the condition of these people was much better than that of others who had experienced the battle outside.

It was as if they were in the center of the battle between gods, but they were not hurt at all. They only needed to wake up and they could immediately join a new battle.

The team that rushed into the principal's office found the fallen face of the Stitched Monster under the desk. Approaching the statue, they felt no terrifying pressure at all, as if it were already dying and dead.

Nothing was missing from the principal's office, and no one else in the office was injured.

Only Ye Ping'an and Tu Shansui, who were originally in the light column, disappeared without a trace.

-

The team following the van has become a long dragon, all of which are citizens rescued by Guikou, starting from the Food Street.

Lin Yu and his roommate leaned against the car door, taking a short rest, breathless.

A few minutes after the golden light in the sky disappeared and the sun came out, text message reminders came one after another in the team.

A major victory! Thanks to the efforts of Ye Ping'an, Tu Shansui, the Investigation Bureau, and many others, the spooky resurgence has been preliminarily confirmed to have ended. During this recent crisis, we worked together to protect each other's lives. City signals will be restored as soon as possible. Please follow official news reports for frontline reports. Citizens experiencing spooky attacks can call 44440000 for official assistance.

Just a few lines of words caused a burst of exclamations among the tense and tired team.

"it's over?"

"We, we survived, are we almost safe?"

"Wow, the authorities haven't given up yet, and neither have we. That's great..."

"Oh my god, Ye Ping'an! Is that Boss Ye?!!!"

…

In the sunshine, some people hugged each other excitedly, while others fell to the ground exhausted and cried loudly, as if they wanted to cry out all the fear that they had just suppressed.

The van moved slowly, and the team followed it back to the entrance of Xile Hotel.

There were also quite a few people huddled at the entrance of the Xile Hotel, but they looked different from the last time Lin Yu and the others had seen them. They were all spread out in a circle around the entrance, as if wanting to get closer but not daring to.

Layers of black slime were rolling on the steps.

The van couldn't swallow them all, but the monsters it didn't want to let go were all thrown onto the main entrance of the Xile Restaurant. That transparent barrier was a surefire way to trap any monsters that tried to enter the restaurant.

It had been trampled upon too much before, and the strange aura that had no time to dissipate was baked into mist and disappeared in the sunlight.

But this time it didn't disappear directly into the air, but sank into the ground.

An Qi didn't notice the change in the crowd at the door. She held up her phone with a text message and waved proudly to the inside, "Cheng Yi! Did you see the message? The person on the text must be Boss Ye, right?"

The people hiding in front of the Xile Hotel were almost crying, "Where's the car? The ghost in the store has come out!"

"What?"

The black hair was like a long snake, whooshing out of the store, scaring Anqi so much that she ran away.

The hair lingered on the edge of the steps, hesitating as if not daring to go far.

Crunch——

The van flashed up the steps, braked suddenly, and ran over the hair.

The van's exterior was shiny from all the eating. It grabbed the escaping hair and stuffed it into the hood.

Hiccup~

The car burped, and the headlights swept maliciously at the red light in the store.

The hair was swallowed up, and Cheng Yicai stopped panting while dodging.

The phone rang, and the investigator on the other end got straight to the point. "Has Boss Ye returned to the store? Is the store still open?"

Cheng Yi rushed to the door and touched the door frame.

The transparent barrier has disappeared, and the signal that isolates the outside world has been restored, but the boss has not returned yet.

Cheng Yi stared at the rising sun, his ears buzzing and his mind blank.

The golden light on the horizon disappeared, and the gods disappeared. She knew it must have been the boss's doing.

But the boss didn't come back.

Seeing her expression change, Lin Yu keenly sensed that something was wrong. "Cheng Yi? Cheng Yi, are you okay?"

Cheng Yimu looked at her blankly and closed the shop door. "The boss hasn't come back yet, so we're temporarily closed."

-

Nearly 24 hours have passed since the battle with the Evil God, and the greatly weakened Evil has greatly reduced the pressure on the city to restore order.

Signals in various places gradually recovered, and a large number of news about strange events that had been suppressed for safety reasons, as well as news about strange events that had been experienced personally in the early morning, emerged like mushrooms after rain on the Internet, and became hot searches one after another.

#Investigation Bureau#

#Ye Ping An#

#Who is Ye Pingan#

#My Treasure Happy Hotel#

#Origin of the Strange God#

#How to deal with weirdness#

…

Even after being notified that the area was safe, those guarding the Xile Hotel were hesitant to leave during the intense early morning escape. Hearing about the rescue "car" there, some people kept rushing to the Xile Hotel, insisting on following the "car".

The city authorities freed up their hands to maintain public order and tried to persuade people to go home several times, but all they did was to get everyone off the road and onto the sidewalk.

The van was surrounded by a crowd of people, burping constantly.

Anqi was talking on the phone with her parents. After experiencing life and death, it seemed like they had endless things to say and no one wanted to go to bed first.

Lin Yu looked at Boss Ye's hot searches and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Looking around, all the hot searches were related to weirdness, and Xile Hotel inexplicably squeezed in.

Some people in the hot search square were recommending the food, some were asking questions, some were thanking Xile Restaurant for saving their lives, and some were wondering whether the two Ye Ping'ans were the same person.

Three of the hot searches were related to Boss Ye, and new messages kept popping up in the square.

[??? The official hero of this massive, bizarre incident, Tu Shansui, I understand. He's a consultant to the Bureau of Investigation, so he must be quite capable. But is the first person's profile really correct? Officials, look me in the eye and tell me again, what's his profession? Owner and chef of the Happy Restaurant? Saving the world while cooking? Are you writing a light novel?]

[Although, the food photos at Xile Restaurant look really delicious. Wasn't that the barbecue at the music festival? You guys, you kept silent about your lazy boss!]

[The official announcement should be correct. Anyway, we should thank Ye Pingan.

My home is near the academy that suddenly appeared—yes, that spot with the brightest golden light. When that giant, stitched-up face appeared, my head nearly exploded. My mind was filled with inexplicable voices urging me to believe, and I was so kneeled I couldn't even get up. Who knew, within a few minutes, that disgusting god would be gone!

[Thumbs up from the people of Lin Province. I've always heard about unclean things, but I just found out this morning that there's a restricted area in Chong Province next door that was eaten by a strange god... No wonder the authorities have been suppressing the news. If I had known such outrageous things existed before, I would have been scared to death.]

[Me too! Lin Province should be the area with the largest evacuation, right?]

In front of the Evil God, ordinary people like us are like ants. That morning, while we were evacuating, only the FBI and military vehicles were heading in the opposite direction, heading towards the restricted area. They were completely risking their lives. I can't imagine how dangerous it would be for a hero to face the Evil God directly...

[If those strange gods had not fallen, had not finally gathered together, or had been defeated, no matter where they fled to, they would probably have become the next Chong Province.

Thankfully, the Ghost God was dealt with, and the Ghost suddenly weakened. After the Ghost was hunted down during the day, we dared to go home at night. But a curfew has begun outside. No one is allowed to run around except in designated areas, and the doors won't open until sunrise. They're probably still searching for any other escapees, so everyone, be careful.

"It's more than just bizarre. Have you seen those monsters? I live by the sea, and I never knew there were so many terrifying sea monsters emerging from the ocean! The military's artillery couldn't kill them at all. They just broke into pieces and rose up again, creating huge waves like a natural disaster."

Finally, after the golden light in the sky dissipated, the sea monster suddenly weakened, allowing us to hold on. I heard from the team defending this area that this change must have been caused by Boss Ye.

Boss Ye is always awesome! My mom, a teacher, has been missing for a year, and many in my family have forgotten who she is. When I was looking for her, the police said she was probably involved in a special incident and her survival rate was low. But today, the police called and said my mom is in the hospital and should be back soon! It's said that the medication Boss Ye customized saved her life!

[Huh? Isn't Ye Ping'an a cook? How come he's a master of medicine, cooking, and fighting ghosts? Food and medicine go hand in hand, right?]

Today's news broadcast only covered emergency repairs in various locations affected by the bizarre disaster. According to official reports, the damage isn't too severe, and normal operations will resume soon. So, when will the heroes being individually thanked appear on the news broadcast?

Boss Ye, Ye Ping'an...

The familiar name was mentioned over and over again. Lin Yu looked at the closed door of the Xile Hotel and couldn't help but sigh, "Boss Ye... I wonder when he will come back."

When someone called Ye Ping'an's name, the van flashed and disappeared on the spot.

In a few seconds, the van appeared with Yao Qing in it.

Yao Qing, who was chasing the strange creature over a dozen kilometers away, was at a loss for words. "...I know, I know. I know you can eat strange creatures. Thank you for saving us. Boss Ye is not here, are you maintaining law and order in this area?"

The van's headlights flashed like disco balls, and anyone could see the smugness.

But when the van heard the words "Boss Ye", the lights dimmed.

The car radio sounded briefly, and a questioning voice said, "Driver?"

Yao Qing was silent for a moment, "I haven't found Boss Ye yet."

The face of the person huddled under the driver's seat was wrinkled and drooped.

The Investigation Bureau's convoy drove into the food street and stopped in front of the Xile Hotel.

Yan Mingyue helped Director Zhang out of the car door, and the skinny old man raised his head tremblingly.

Zhang Qingyi originally thought that he would be devoured completely in the battle with the gods after the gods reacted.

But she survived.

The fallen statues in the restricted area were turned into ordinary rubble and flesh. Apart from the small-scale earthquake caused by the fall, there were no casualties.

The gods gathered together and became silent, and the weirdness became much weaker. The weakest weirdness could even be directly killed by a determined investigator...

The hope I had longed for before the battle seemed to have come to me.

The Ghost Suppression Monument within the Investigation Bureau completely lost its magical power, transforming into a massive, weathered rock. Only the words that had originally appeared remained, unchanged.

The sign of Xile Hotel was still shining with gold, but the door was closed and its owner had not returned yet.

"The fox spirit has its responsibilities, and humans have their duties. We are part of this world, and we die for survival without regrets. But you are different. Without our burden, you can actually leave and survive..."

Zhang Qingyi's straight back suddenly became hunched and tired, and his voice was choked and he couldn't speak.

Tears fell on the steps, the old man took a deep breath, and became indestructible again.

"We will do our utmost to avenge you and pay tribute to your sacrifice with strangeness, even if it means death—"

Before he could finish his firm vow, he was interrupted by a yawn from behind him.

"Ha - yawn. Old lady, you are saying something like that at my doorstep so early in the morning. Isn't that so unlucky? You have to compensate me for the mental damage." With a familiar tone, someone walked up the stairs in slippers.

Yan Mingyue didn't dare to look back for a moment, for fear of waking up from the dream.

Ye Pingan walked past her, waving his hands in front of his eyes, "Captain Yan, what are you standing there for? When will I get my bonus and final payment?"

Yan Mingyue turned her neck, and the joints made a stiff clicking sound.

Ye Pingan smiled brightly, revealing eight neat, white teeth. His eyes were bright, his complexion was rosy and full of vitality. When his beautiful features smiled, he still had that familiar mercenary look, which made people smile along.

She seemed a little different, yet still looked familiar.

Yan Mingyue's eyes widened in disbelief, "Boss Ye! It's really you!"

Ye Pingan was dissatisfied. "This is the only one. There is no other. Next time you see someone pretending to be me, remember to tell me. Imitations have to pay copyright fees!"

Zhang Qingyi looked at Ye Ping'an who seemed fine, blinked slowly, raised her head and looked at Tu Shansui who was following behind her.

Tu Shansui seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, became relaxed, and no longer had a tense face.

He smiled and nodded, saying softly, "It's over. From now on, the weirdness can be sent to the underworld for complete resolution."

"Underworld?" Yan Mingyue felt like his brain wasn't enough.

Isn't that something from fairy tales? How come there really is an underworld?

"Have you eaten yet? Just busy talking about work."

Ye Pingan winked at the stunned Director Zhang, his abacus clacking. "I remember that you still haven't finished your medicinal meal, old lady. When are you going to eat it? Let me make it clear first, what you didn't finish last time is the last portion. If you want to eat it now, you have to pay extra."

Zhang Qingyi slowly, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "I will. This time, I will finish it."

Ye Ping'an took out the key and opened the door. As he approached, the rolling door was pulled up with a swish.

Cheng Yi's gloomy face suddenly broke into a smile, "Boss!"

Ye Ping'an nodded to her, "Yeah. I'm back. Is everything okay?"

Cheng Yi looked at the white-haired young man behind Ye Ping'an, and her smile suddenly froze.

She secretly glared at the two people holding hands and answered seriously, "The sweeping and mopping robot was causing trouble and was eaten by the car. The car helped eat up a lot of ghosts that appeared, and everyone is very grateful to the boss..."

Ye Ping'an looked around and saw that the crowd was very excited when they heard that "Boss Ye is back".

The cordon that was urgently pulled out when the Investigation Bureau arrived was almost broken by the pushing.

"Boss Ye! Boss Ye!"

"Thank you, Boss Ye!"

"Thank you, Boss Ye, for saving us with your car--!!!"

“…”

Ye Pingan smiled brightly and waved to everyone around him, "I understand. Come and have dinner often when you have time!"

The cheers grew louder, and amid the surging crowd, Ye Ping'an's eyes were as bright as the morning stars.

Ye Pingan turned back happily, watching Cheng Yi tidying up the white plastic shell in the corner, and touched his chin, "The store can't be without a sweeper..."

"By the way, how's things going at school?"

Yan Mingyue could tell from the conversation just now that Boss Ye seemed to have sensed something "weird".

She quickly said, "[Yucai Academy] is basically in ruins. The strange things have been cleared out, and the ghost slaves have begun treatment. Only the strange god aggregates remain, which cannot be separated and have not responded to attempts at contact. The experts haven't made any progress in their research, so they are left there for the time being, and are only quarantined. They haven't started to contain them yet."

"So now that it's useless, you're still worried about it being dangerous, right?"

"Uh... almost?"

Ye Ping'an made the decision on the spot, "Xiao Cheng, give me the shell. I'll be back soon."

Yan Mingyue:?

Wait? Could it be... no way???

Ye Pingan opened the van door in two or three steps and patted the steering wheel. "You did a good job today. You've been obedient. Do you know where the school is?"

"Welcome aboard, the vehicle is starting, please fasten your seat belts." An electronic voice rang out in the car, sounding flattering.

The navigation system automatically turned on, and the van flashed and disappeared.

Yan Mingyue opened his mouth and decided to give up thinking about what Boss Ye was going to do.

Yan Mingyue recalled her previous doubts, "Advisor Tushan, that underworld..."

Tu Shansui reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the direction where Ye Ping'an left. The smile between his eyebrows disappeared, turning into a softer indifference.

He said simply, "Ye Ping'an has activated the world cycle and contacted the underworld. We just returned from there. I'll teach you how to contact them and send the weird things that have already been born to the underworld. The aura of death has been greatly reduced. The ghosts of the deceased will go directly to the underworld to enter the cycle of reincarnation. No more unkillable weird things will be born. Some ghosts may have been missed and need to be captured separately."

Yan Mingyue: ???

Was she really dreaming? A strange resurrection that had just disappeared for a long time and nearly forced humanity to perish, and that was completely resolved?

However, Boss Ye left so quickly. Why did it seem like he was too lazy to explain these things and just left them all to Consultant Tushan?

"Strange creature..."

As soon as Zhang Qingyi asked, he knew the answer from Tu Shansui's expression.

It’s not that the underworld cannot directly lead away all the weirdness in the world, but humans have coexisted with weirdness for nearly a hundred years.

Many ghost controllers survive by relying on the ghost's special abilities, which also increases the progress of the ghost's resurgence, making it impossible to completely separate from the ghost, and eventually leading to death.

The ghost slave affected by the strange phenomenon is no longer a living person. It is only because Ye Ping'an's meal gave him a glimmer of hope that he has a chance to be rescued.

If the strange thing is led away directly, these people will probably die immediately.

The current arrangements are to ensure that the vast majority of people can survive safely.

"That's good, that's good..." Zhang Qingyi murmured, and Yan Mingyue suddenly felt a heaviness in her hand.

Yan Mingyue was startled, "Director Zhang!"

"She fell asleep." Tu Shansui whispered.

Yan Mingyue hugged the frail old man, her nose sore. The old man at the helm of the Investigation Bureau hadn't had a good rest in too long.

"It will get better later."

"Yes." Tu Shansui said firmly.

The hazy sky was illuminated by the sunlight, and the sun came out again.

After staying up all night in fear, people rubbed their eyes and finally dared to sleep peacefully in the sunshine.

The team guarding the ruins of [Yucai College] saw a silver shadow flash in the sky above the campus and immediately went on high alert.

After facing the evil god early yesterday morning, everyone knew what was being guarded here.

Even experts who participated in the research had to self-isolate after the research was over to prevent converts with distorted cognition from infiltrating the guard team.

What's more, the golden light is the iconic sign of the evil god's action, and the silver shadow looks really suspicious!

"Unusual movement on campus! Be careful—eh?"

While sounding the alarm, Zhong Nian chased towards where the silver shadow appeared.

As soon as she moved, she saw clearly what appeared in the air.

...A van drove into the principal's office, where only half of the roof remained.

Half of the van crashed into the principal's office, while the other half remained outside, stuck in the air like a dangerous building.

Apart from Zhong Nian who was still confused, the investigators who stayed nearby were suddenly startled and recognized the famous van.

"Boss Ye?!"

The voice was full of surprise, "Boss Ye is back!!!"

Ye Ping'an leaned out of the van, smiled and waved, pointing at a pool of stitched monsters exposed to the sky.

"Come to the store to eat after you're done! You don't want this thing anymore, right? I'm in need of a cleaner."

Strange God: ???

The statue was twisted and clenched like mud, and had previously shown no reaction to the outside world. Upon hearing Ye Ping'an's voice, the stitched monster's single eye suddenly turned and trembled as if stimulated.

Ye Ping'an glanced at it indifferently, and the Stitched Monster stopped shaking immediately and lay back flat.

Zhong Nian stared blankly at Ye Ping'an picking up the stitched monster, rolling it up and down, and forcing his several times larger volume into the small white shell of a sweeping robot.

Ye Ping'an nodded in satisfaction. "It just so happens that there's one eye left in the store, and it was originally yours. I'll install one for you when I get back. One camera on each side, front and back, for easier cleaning."

Zhong Nian:?

I can understand every word and sound, so why does she seem to not understand what is being said?

Ye Pingan caught her gaze and turned back in confusion, "Officer Zhong, what's wrong? Oh, Officer Yan said that you guys haven't made any progress in your research. So, if you need cutting in the future, come to the store for research, I can help you. Just give me the research fee. It's up to you what you want."

A dark red liquid with a faint golden tinge flowed out from the white plastic shell, as if it was crying in fear.

As soon as the word "cut" was heard, the liquid instantly flowed back and shrank obediently into the shell.

Zhong Nian fully felt that Guishen's attitude towards Boss Ye was different before and after.

She swallowed, "You... Master, you won't leave this time you come back, right?"

She knew that Ye Ping'an and Tu Shansui had disappeared together before, so of course she had to quickly retain such an outrageously powerful person!

"My home is right here." Ye Ping'an stuffed the sweeping and mopping robot into the car, turned the steering wheel of the van, and appeared under the ruins in a flash.

After passing Zhong Nian, Ye Pingan leaned over and patted her shoulder. "Officer, your words are very nice, but next time, I won't give you a free meal! Don't be so polite. What great god or not? I'm just an ordinary restaurant owner. We run a small business with clear prices. We don't take credit! Remember to come with your colleagues for dinner next time."

Zhong Nian: ...

She felt that the former A-level ghost god who was turned into a sweeper would not agree with the description of "ordinary".

Ye Ping'an drove out of the school leisurely and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The van was playing cheerful music, and shadows on both sides of the windows were rapidly receding.

Ye Ping'an dozed off and wrote down the new recipe he had just received in the underworld in his memo.

The underworld connects countless worlds, and introducing new worlds has its own set of procedures. However, this time, it was not introduced by travelers, but by locals, and two worlds entered the cycle of reincarnation at the same time, which was a little special.

Ye Ping'an was too impatient to fill out the judge's form, so after filling out the content of his own world, he simply handed the rest to the real "local" Tu Shan Sui.

While Tushan Sui was busy with various procedures, Ye Ping'an found Ye Quan, a traveler he had met before.

Needless to say, Ye Quan smiled when he saw her in the underworld.

"Congratulations."

The two of them didn't do anything else when they met, but they spent a long time thinking about the new recipe that Ye Quan had researched.

Ye Ping'an was wondering where else he could modify the recipe when the van suddenly braked.

"Ah? The traffic police stopped my car? I was driving autonomously, not dangerously!"

Ye Ping'an argued righteously as the blurry shadows outside the window dissipated, revealing the sign of the Xile Hotel.

Cheng Yi was standing on a ladder, wiping the door head until it sparkled.

The van's speakers rang out, "Welcome, Hiccup~ I'll use it next time~"

Ye Pingan was speechless for a few seconds. "Eat less next time. You won't be able to drive safely if you eat too much."

The van shrank back and opened its door ingratiatingly.

Zhang Qingyi took a short nap and was now awake and waiting at the door.

Seeing Ye Ping'an coming back, she smiled and asked, "Boss Ye, what are your plans next?"

"Plans? Recently, people who come to the store are just here to watch the fun. I can't do proper business. I plan to travel and open a store." Ye Ping'an spread out his palm and shook it at the old man.

Zhang Qingyi was puzzled. "Is there anything you need from me?"

Ye Pingan said confidently, "You have to get me an ID card!"

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Qingyi laughed out loud, "Do it, of course I will do it!"

The children who lost their home saved the dying world, and thus they all had a new future.

【Author’s words】

I was stupid and copied too much yesterday... I was going to post the plot over two days, but I ended up writing the ending all night long. It's still almost 20,000 words qaq, so I finished it in one go.

If the plot has not been replaced, you can delete the cache or refresh it.

I will start updating the extra chapters in the evening, a sequel, and a fox traveling to Boss Xiaoye’s world.

Pre-collection of "Traveling back to the modern era and getting rich by refining black technology"

The weapon refiner Ye Shaoguang traveled back to the modern era. Faced with a penniless family and a difficult life, Shaoguang sighed: Let's earn a small goal first.

Fully automatic insect traps are a boon for mosquitoes, hair combs have saved countless bald heads, sweet dream pillows provide a relaxing sleep, illusionary holographic cabins have ignited a new gaming craze, Pokémon accompany you throughout your life, and clothing that automatically adjusts temperature and provides protection can save people from danger... Equipment refiners have returned to their old jobs, identified the needs, and one magical device after another has emerged.

Netizens scoffed: "You're 30 and still believe in IQ tax! Where's your brain?"

Soon after—

"How can help really work?! When will it be restocked and put on the shelves? Baldy baby really needs it!!!"

"Get out of the way! I didn't say anything bad. I came first. I need to get a good night's sleep, please!"

"Please, please take care of the southern mosquitoes first. I don't want to ride it to work!!!"

-

One day, in an interview: "The world's first technology company has emerged. As the chairman and chief inventor, do you have anything to say to those netizens jokingly call the 'heirs of the black technology system'?"

Ye Shaoguang: "Ah, I'm actually a cultivator... Let me learn about the almighty weapon refiner. Industrial technology uses materials, and weapon refiners also use materials. How can weapon refiners not be considered technology!"

——Become the most technologically advanced weapon refiner, the most advanced scientist, and the strongest and richest person in the world!

Pre-collection of "I Revive the Chinese Gods by Selling Blind Boxes"

Good news: Ye Mingtao has taken over as the new Little God of Wealth. Bad news: The previous world is wrong. This world has a historical fault line, lacks faith, and her power is weakened. There are alien beasts and cosmic enemies outside who are eyeing her covetously.

...No big problem! Ye Mingtao put out a treasure bowl and started selling blind boxes of gods:

O desperate man, what are you willing to give in exchange for a chance of survival?

Wealth, luck, knowledge... as long as you have it, as long as you want it.

——The God of Wealth has no taboos and allows everything.

-

At first, when people heard that someone was selling blind boxes of gods, which were said to have the opportunity to gain magical powers, everyone laughed at it and said it was a daydream.

until……

A strange beast from the star sea rushed into the residential area, and the Monkey King appeared out of nowhere and killed it with one blow.

After asking, I found out that the life-saving treasure came from a monkey hair from the blind box Monkey King...

Fight to fame, the whole world went crazy:

[Superpowers! God's blessing! Ahhhh, give me a blind box!]

[I finally managed to collect ten consecutive draws. Please, give me a guaranteed bonus. In the Bu Tian Up pool, there's no Nuwa, but a Iron Headed Boy with a snake in his hands or Bu Zhou Mountain will do!]

My little carp has become a fish spirit. Where can I jump over the Dragon Gate and evolve into a dragon?

—The above words about Little Carp are indeed true love. I heard that the evolutionary path is very difficult and expensive, with the rich relying on krypton gold and the poor relying on luck, right?]

[Help me, help me! My Mazu statue has fallen asleep after saving my life! Please give me a dish that Mazu likes. I want to offer it to her so she can wake up soon!]

[Shocking! Latest archaeological news from the home planet: Shennong really existed in ancient history!?]

When alien enemies from the universe came to invade Blue Planet, everyone was stunned: We agreed to create three, four, five, and six-dimensional technological worlds together, so how come you, a single Blue Planet, have achieved transcendence alone?!
