Li Ji and the others' pleas for mercy had no effect whatsoever, and they were even more horrified, only thinking about leaving this place as soon as possible.
Who remembers keeping watch these days? It's a blessing to have survived.
Soon, they realized they had oversimplified things; there was no way they could get out of that short distance of just a few dozen meters.
The two were so scared they almost wet themselves, and kept begging for mercy, but the wandering soul, which had already been warned by Hua Xiangyun, would not let them go so easily.
These people have only enjoyed a few years of good times, and they've already forgotten the hardships they endured.
In particular, many of these souls lost their lives in the war and suffered greatly. Just thinking about it fills their minds with hatred that they can't suppress.
These wandering spirits are not normally able to harm people, but when they gather in sufficient numbers, they can give these two a run for their money.
The master instructed them to stall these two people, and they must fulfill his instructions, since they had already received benefits.
Thinking back to the incense and gold ingots the master had given them, no, they weren't after these material possessions...
Li Ji was terrified and unable to communicate with the other party, so he could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy.
As for Caobumu and us, Shi Yuanxiu plans to keep us for a few days, and then hand us over to our master when we return to the capital.
Last night was a rare bad night's sleep for us, and when we woke up today, we felt much better.
When we're tired, even thunder can keep us awake, like those of us with bad sleep.
Even when you feel a very real sensation of your body being propelled, you keep giving yourself a mental suggestion: if you fall asleep, it will be dangerous.
"Search under us to see if we have any identification."
Just as my companions said, they were still lying on the ground, completely still. If it were our breathing, we would have thought it was those two people...
"Let's find a way to wake them up first. Oh, and have someone keep a close eye on them so they don't get away."
Her arrival relieved the spirits guarding the area, which also meant that the master had won.
"They just let us sleep like that? Don't they know to wake us up and ask us what's wrong?"
"They said those two people suddenly appeared outside our office?" Seeing the two disheveled figures lying at his office door, snoring, Director Huang found it unbelievable. "Is there no one on night shift? Did they see anyone come back?"
Even if the people downstairs don't have any documents to hand in, they'll wait for me to come over before handing them in. Where did those papers come from?
I had just put my briefcase down when I frowned and looked at the blank sheet of paper under the table. I don't have a habit of tidying up my desk after I get to work.
Living in a small, crowded courtyard, if the neighbors were even slightly quieter, we could hear them all, let alone the noises at night.
When Hua Xiangyun arrived, their foreheads were bleeding from the banging, and both of them were swaying precariously, but they didn't dare to stop.
No one else noticed; it was unusually quiet last night, but we didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, we foiled their conspiracy, which can be considered a small achievement. You'll have to bear the consequences yourselves. Tonight you used all sorts of amulets; if you sold them inside, it would be an astronomical sum.
The two colleagues on the night shift shook their heads at the same time, feeling uneasy. They had slept soundly for a while in the first half of the night, but with those two little living people coming back, they might know, or they might make a fuss over the slightest noise.
He yawned and did a quick check to make sure he hadn't missed anything before leisurely running home.
Thinking about it that way, Shi Yuanxiu felt that he had made a bad deal.
As soon as Huang arrived at the bureau, he was led to the door of his office.
Shi Yuanxiu then grabbed the two of us and ran off, leaving us in Huang's office.
I grabbed the paper and slowly ran inside, pointing at the comrades who were about to carry the two men away, and said, "Quickly get them to the interrogation room, then try to wake them up. Keep a close eye on them, don't let them escape."
As for whether they will confess something, that's your business. Those two people are innocent, but we are just special people, so naturally it should be handled by Director Huang and us.
It seemed like a real event, but in reality, only he knew that after expending so little spiritual energy, he already had the strength to fight again.
"It's getting light, they should all leave quickly. Leave the two of them for you to handle." The only response you receive is a gentle breeze blowing around you, and after a moment, only a soft, natural cool breeze remains.
He also knows you're a light sleeper and easily woken up by the slightest noise, but Zhuoyue really didn't seem to notice at all. If it were like that every day before, you wouldn't be so exhausted after get off work every day.
It turns out that we were both disturbed all night, and with the invasion of yin energy, it was only a matter of time before we could distinguish between our dreams and reality.
"You called out, but we don't seem to hear anything." The onlookers were also puzzled, thinking that even the worst sleeper might not be able to sense anything inside.
Li Xiaozhong: "Maybe it was really quiet last night, and I don't know why."
“You thought you were the only one who didn’t feel that way?” Xu Yinghua said while kneading dough. “There aren’t many households in our front yard that raise chickens, and they usually make some noise in the middle of the night, but yesterday it was unusually quiet.”
We've called out to them countless times, and those two still haven't responded at all.
The explanation was complicated, and it turned out that two people inside were traitors.
Li Xiaozhong, who was getting ready to finish his early shift, stretched and said to Xu Yinghua, "I haven't slept so soundly in a long time. It felt as quiet as last night."
Huang tapped the other man's calf with his foot and said, "Hey, you two, please wake them up."
We could actually hear the sounds inside, but we were so frightened that we never woke up to face them. We were terrified that if we opened our eyes, we would see something horrible.
The comrades below immediately got to work and found some loose tickets, which didn't cost more than a few dollars.
The comrade closest to me glanced up and saw the note from Huang's subordinate; his expression immediately turned serious.
Hua Xiangyun didn't give Li Ji and the others a chance to react. She threw two stones, and the two of them fell to the ground and fainted.
Currently, there isn't a specific department in charge of Xuanmen (Taoist sects), so those matters are something we should be dealing with ourselves.
Before I could even walk over, the line of text below made my pupils shrink.
Just as I was about to sit down for a moment, I heard the crowing of a rooster inside. Dawn was breaking... Gradually, I heard noises coming from the neighboring yard. No one had gotten up yet.
Slowly, the courtyard fell silent. No one in the family mentioned the quiet of the previous night; those matters were simply veiled by the noise.
After giving his instructions, Huang pushed open the door and left his office. There was so little to do, why did he have to bring two people here to cause trouble?
