Chapter 184: Earthbound Spirit
Looking at Hei Wuchang's performance, Zhong Nianyao's mouth twitched involuntarily.
She really couldn't understand what was wrong with Hei Wuchang today and why he was behaving so strangely!
However, she didn't think too much about it and spoke directly, "Master Hei Wuchang, I asked you to come up here today because of this evil spirit. He has committed many murders in the human world recently. Moreover, he strengthens himself by devouring the souls of the living. I hope you can bring him back to the Palace of Hell for trial."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Hei Wuchang's expression suddenly became serious. "To think there is such a thing, devouring the souls of living beings to cultivate, that is a sin that cannot be tolerated by heaven."
Zhong Nianyao nodded. "However, I also hope that Your Excellency can thoroughly investigate why the Underworld has not intervened in this matter?"
Hei Wuchang nodded, the chill on his body becoming even stronger. "Don't worry, young lady. We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly to see where the mistake was made."
Generally speaking, once a person dies, someone from the underworld will quickly come to collect their soul. Of course, some souls are unwilling to leave and linger in the human world.
There are many such things, but generally speaking, the underworld is able to know the whereabouts of these ghosts but will not interfere too much.
However, the fact that living souls were being devoured was truly detrimental to the harmony of nature, and the underworld couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Yet, no one had reported it to date, which was a serious matter. This proved that there was a problem with the underworld's management, and it needed to be rectified as soon as possible.
"Okay." Zhong Nianyao tugged at the invisible thread in her hand, "Then, Lord Hei Wuchang, I'll leave this evil spirit to you."
In an instant, the evil ghost uncontrollably approached Hei Wuchang, and only stopped when the two ghosts were several meters apart.
At this time, the evil ghost had long lost its previous arrogance, and its entire body was shaking continuously.
Hei Wuchang was not a talkative person, so he would not chat with Zhong Nianyao here. So, after taking control of the evil spirit, he took the evil spirit and disappeared directly.
The second after Hei Wuchang and the evil spirit disappeared, the gloomy atmosphere around them immediately changed. The evening breeze with a hint of heat actually made people feel a little warm.
Han Xin looked at Zhong Nianyao and spoke tentatively, "Ms. Zhong, who was that just now——"
"Didn't you see it?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Han Xin doubtfully. "If we just let that evil spirit disappear, it would be too easy for him. Now, letting the underworld messenger take him back to the underworld to be punished is the most painful thing for him."
Han Xin didn't want to ask this, he wanted to know why Zhong Nianyao was able to invite the ghost messenger. Although he didn't understand those metaphysical things, he knew that the ghost messenger was not something that could be invited casually.
Moreover, looking at the familiar attitude of Zhong Nian Yao and Hei Wuchang, it is clear that this is definitely not the first time she has asked the underworld messenger to come.
Luo Yong, who was standing by, didn't think too much about it and spoke directly, "Miss Zhong, you are really amazing. I didn't expect that you could actually invite the underworld messenger, and the Black Impermanence at that."
Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows but didn't say much.
Then, she moved her hands and feet and said, "Captain Han, you'd better send someone to search this area carefully."
Just now, Han Xin and Luo Yong were hiding in the dark. According to the distance, they definitely could not hear the conversation between her and the evil spirit. Therefore, they certainly did not know that the evil spirit died in this place.
"Miss Zhong, is there anything else?" Han Xin frowned immediately. "Hasn't this evil spirit been taken away by the Yin Messenger? Could it be that there are other victims that we haven't discovered yet?"
"No," Zhong Nianyao shook her head, then suddenly said, "Captain Han, do you know why this evil spirit only kills people in this place? Even the taxi driver was targeted by this evil spirit not far from the mountain road?"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Han Xin was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that there is some special reason behind this?"
"Indeed." Zhong Nianyao nodded and continued, "Although this is a fierce ghost, it is also an earthbound spirit. It's not that he doesn't want to kill in other places, but he can only stay in this area."
However, it is fortunate that this evil ghost is an earthbound spirit, otherwise, there would definitely be more victims now.
"Ms. Zhong, are you saying that this evil spirit can't leave here?" Han Xin immediately understood, but then became confused. "Why is that?"
"Because his body is nearby." Zhong Nianyao said directly, "Also, the murderer must have tampered with his body, so his soul is bound here."
"The body is here?" Han Xin immediately understood. "Miss Zhong, you mean to say that this evil spirit was also killed by someone, and the body was dumped nearby."
"That's right," Zhong Nianyao nodded. "The underworld will have its own say on what he did as a ghost after his death. But everything he experienced during his lifetime will be handled by the human world."
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Han Xin immediately became serious and assured, "Don't worry, Miss Zhong. I will definitely find the murderer in this case."
No matter how many evil things this evil ghost has done, as long as he was killed by someone in his lifetime, as a policeman, he has the responsibility to find the murderer and give justice to the victim.
Zhong Nianyao nodded, then moved her hands and feet, and then said, "Okay, I've sent this evil ghost away, and this case has nothing to do with me anymore. I'm leaving first, bye!"
After saying that, she left without hesitation, without even pausing.
Han Xin wanted to call Zhong Nianyao and send her back, but in the blink of an eye, he could no longer see her.
"Captain, this Miss Zhong is really amazing."
After what happened tonight, Luo Yong was completely impressed by Zhong Nianyao. "She's still so young, but she already has such abilities. Who knows what she'll become in the future! But—"
When he said this, he paused, a little distressed, "This time it's a supernatural incident. How should we write our report? We can't just write it as it is!"
"No need to write." Han Xin said calmly, "The people sent from above should be arriving soon. We can just hand over everything by then. We don't need to write a report."
