Chapter 15: Let Me Hug My Children
The fire flickered.
The skin melts.
Finally, Xiaojie's last soul gradually emerged from these skins.
The Thousand-Skinned Ghost deliberately killed Qiao Yizi, hanging on to her last breath and refining her into a corpse.
Children born from corpses have special fates and are a great tonic for evil spirits like the Thousand-Skinned Ghost.
When it is three years old and begins to have its own thoughts, peel off its body, take out its soul, and nourish its body. The Thousand Skin Ghost will then be completely integrated with the skin and will no longer need to seek human skin disguise every few years.
But it is not easy for a human-skin ghost to practice, let alone know so many evil magic methods.
There must be someone else behind this.
[Is the person behind the Thousand Skin Ghost related to the totems on Xiaojie and Junzhu?] Gu Ji asked.
Wuwang affirmed: [Yes.]
[Do you know who this person is?]
[I know, but I'm not sure. And since you're just a trainee judge, I can't tell you yet.]
Gu Ji would not be unhappy because of this concealment.
She knew that since she wasn't told, there must be a reason behind it.
"My parents seem to have this totem too, but it's different from their eyes. The pupils are vertical instead of horizontal." Gu Ji told him the truth. When he was fighting the Thousand Skin Ghost, some tiny fragments flashed through his mind.
Wuwang: [Horizontal pupils are evil demons, vertical pupils are righteous gods.]
As her magnetic voice fell, the Thousand-Skinned Ghost could no longer make a sound.
The little girl, who was originally regarded as its prey, fell into her hands.
It would also examine Duodu, and when it saw that the situation was not good, it immediately put on a flattering look, "Tianshi, I can tell you who asked me to come here. You should also want to know, right? And why is Junzhu's soul so strange? Don't you want to know?!"
It held its head, its body rolled into a ball, and was kicked around by several ghosts like a football.
Gu Ji didn't even glance at it.
Just pretend you can't hear it.
No matter how much the Thousand Skin Ghost begged, it was useless.
Seeing that Gu Ji didn't buy it, it immediately looked at Qiao Yizhi, "That Taoist priest doesn't care about your two sons, but they are your children, so you always care about them. Don't you want to know who wants to kill them?!"
For the sake of Jun Zhu and Jun Jie, Qiao Yizi has not turned into a ghost even after being trapped in this place for twenty years. His mental strength is terrifyingly strong.
As long as she says she wants to know, I have a way to make a deal!
The Thousand-Skinned Ghost is determined to win.
Get shit.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he said it, Qiao Yizhi's aura suddenly increased.
She is a corpse transformed into a ghost. She is stronger than ordinary wronged spirits and has cultivation.
She was just trapped by the Thousand Skin Ghost's formation. Now that the formation was broken, beating the Thousand Skin Ghost, which had lost its cultivation, was like hitting a ball.
"I don't care who asked you to do this, but you're the one who killed me and my son. I'm going to hit you!!!"
She roared, wanting to vent all the resentment she had accumulated over the past twenty years.
"My Ah Zhu died when he was so young. Over the years, I watched him gradually become darker and more taciturn. I watched you, an old man, sucking his energy away while he was around. I watched my Xiao Jie being sold out by you. I will kill you!!!"
Tenderness turns into a sharp blade at this moment.
Qiao Yizhi, who has always been praised for her gentleness, turned her gentleness into anger for the sake of her children.
"You think I don't know what's going on in your mind? You want me to dig deep, you want me to tell you the truth if I let you go, bah! We're all ghosts, you're lying to ghosts! Are you still going to say that Judge Gu has motives and wants to harm Xiaojie and Ah Zhu? You've changed your skin and your brain too? He's a judge, do you know what a judge is?! He has a job title, do you take me for a child?!"
Gu Ji opened his eyes wide and looked at Qiao Yizhizi.
It seems that Aunt Qiao...is much more powerful than I imagined.
Qiao Yizi's anger turned into the final fatal blow. With one palm strike, the Thousand-Skinned Ghost was about to die.
An extremely cold atmosphere suddenly swept through the living room.
This breath was very comfortable for Gu Ji.
A curious voice came from her head, "So it's you, the new City God Judge."
"Wow, you're only nineteen."
Gu Ji looked up. Two figures, one black and one white, were bent over and looking at her. When she looked up, they straightened up and bowed respectfully to her. "Judge, that Thousand-Skinned Ghost cannot die yet. We need to take him to the underworld for a thorough interrogation."
Compared to Gu Ji, who looked harmless, the Black and White Impermanence, the top figures in the underworld known to everyone, made Qiao Yizi and several other wronged souls stop.
Seeing them bowing, Gu Ji finally reacted and wanted to stand up and bow to them as well, but she was holding Xiao Jie in her arms and couldn't stand up, nor could she pull her hands free. She was so anxious for the child that her face turned red.
Bai Wuchang chuckled and said, "You're welcome. According to our rank, we are ghost messengers, subordinate to the Soul Catcher, and you are a judge, subordinate to the Judge's Office. If you become a regular employee, you will still be our superior."
If this honest child knew his true identity, I wonder how he would react...
Gu Ji did not see the dark light in the eyes of the Black and White Impermanence.
After the Thousand-Skinned Ghost was arrested, several wronged souls who should have been reincarnated long ago would also go to the underworld with him.
But Qiao Yizhi refused.
Black and White Impermanence sighed, "You've been transformed into a corpse. Logically, you shouldn't be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation, but you haven't harmed anyone. It was Judge Gu who saved you. We can arrange a good home for you. Don't be ungrateful."
They will still be more strict when facing the wronged souls that refuse to leave.
But in fact, it was just a superficial bluff, but Qiao Yizhi was very persistent.
Just as cruelly as she beat the human-skin ghost just now, she was just as gentle as she looked at Xiaojie who was still in Gu Ji's arms.
Gu Ji had seen such gentle eyes before, and Yanyan looked at her with the same look when she died.
But there were many more turbulent and passionate emotions in Qiao Yizhi's eyes. Those passionate waves called maternal love rolled up and down, but the moment they touched Xiaojie, they turned into soft foam.
"Just let me hold my children, okay? Please."
With red eyes, she knelt in front of the Black and White Impermanence.
Trembling shoulders, bloodshot eyes.
Countless nights, she was trapped in the west house. Countless times, she watched her child in agony, helpless. How she wanted to hug her child, how she wanted to wake up her useless husband and tell him not to be deceived by this ghost.
She counted the days on her fingers, and the day Gu Ji appeared, she was extremely happy.
Qiao Yizhi even thought that if she couldn't beat him, she would let the Thousand Skin Ghost take her life and stop hurting her child.
"Um, Brother Black and White, I'm an intern. It would take me quite some time to deal with the Human Skin Ghost by myself, maybe until dawn..."
Black and White Impermanence: "Haven't you already solved the problem—"
He was halfway through his words when he realized that he was buying time for Qiao Yizi.
They looked at each other and said, "Okay, before dawn. As soon as it gets light, I'll take the people away immediately."
