Wen Li wasn't too surprised when she heard this.
Wu Qingqian and the other six vengeful ghosts wanted to harm people, and Su Sui probably would have already suffered the consequences.
Wen Li raised her chin again, signaling Wu Qingqian to continue.
"Shortly after you moved in, I saw Yang Shun filming your classmate with a camera outside the window in the middle of the night. Out of sympathy for her, I hoped to scare her. Who knew that after so many days, your classmate turned out to be an atheist!"
Wen Li finally understood and couldn't help but ask, "So later you whispered in her ear telling her to leave quickly?"
Wu Qingqian nodded, but was still disappointed: "I've given such obvious hints, but that silly girl still doesn't understand and even went to sleep with you."
Wen Li's room was filled with magical artifacts radiating golden light, making it impossible for them to get close.
"Until last time, your silly classmate saw the hidden camera and wanted to confront Yang Shun. As a result, Yang Shun decided to force himself on her. I had no choice but to take Xiao Qiu's body first."
Wu Qingqian added, "Xiao Qiu is the crazy woman you mentioned. She was also trafficked. After I died, Yang Shun spent several thousand yuan to buy another wife. After Xiao Qiu arrived at his house, she tried to run away every day, so Yang Shun chained her up like a dog. Gradually, Xiao Qiu went crazy."
“She’s not crazy,” Wen Li suddenly said. “Or perhaps she was never completely crazy from the beginning.”
Wen Li suddenly remembered the first time Xiao Qiu came out with a knife to cut Su Sui, but when she knocked the knife away, she found that Xiao Qiu's hand holding the knife was unsteady. How could a madwoman not be able to hold a knife steadily?
How could a madman suddenly make them run with such a hoarse voice?
Yang Shun was in his forties, while Xiao Qiu looked to be under thirty, and the police couldn't find any information about Xiao Qiu's identity.
That makes sense now.
Wen Li took a deep breath and looked at Wu Qingqian: "I can understand the hatred in your hearts, but if a vengeful ghost kills someone, or even the whole village, you will have to pay the price."
Wu Qingqian exclaimed excitedly, "We're not even afraid of death, so what retribution are we afraid of!"
If there really is retribution, seeing all the women in the village being trafficked, why doesn't Heaven punish these men even the slightest bit?
"We have never done anything heinous, yet retribution has fallen on us!"
If Heaven is unjust, then they will become Heaven themselves.
Wen Li couldn't quite describe her feelings. These girls were all quite young when they died, leaving the world forever in the prime of their lives. This made her feel that Yang Shun and the others deserved to die. However, she also rationally believed that both the mortal and spiritual realms had their own rules. When people die, their souls dissipate, and these girls could no longer concern themselves with the affairs of the mortal world.
If everyone were like these girls and planned to kill everyone in the village during the Ghost Festival, wouldn't the world of the living and the dead be in chaos?
“I will help you seek justice, but you cannot harm the people of Baiyun Village again.”
"Why should I?!" Wu Qingqian and the other vengeful ghosts instantly crowded around, their magnified facial skin cracking like a withered tree. She vowed, "I will kill every man in Baiyun Village!"
Everyone, young and old, should die!
"You are already dead. The realms of Yin and Yang have their own laws. In the mortal world, the villagers of Baiyun Village buying, selling, and trafficking women are naturally subject to the law. After death, in Hell, the Emperor of Fengdu and the Goddess Houtu will decide your fate. If you want to kill the villagers of Baiyun Village, you will possess an innocent person, just like Xiao Qiu."
Wen Li paused, realizing that the girls in front of her were blinded by hatred, but they were still pitiful. Wen Li subconsciously lowered her voice: "You killed people by using other people's bodies. The people of Baiyun Village are dead, but what about the women you possessed?"
Wen Li had already figured it out: these vengeful ghosts hadn't actually harmed anyone yet. The men in Baiyun Village had strong yang energy and were protected by the household gods, so these girls clearly couldn't possess the men's bodies.
If you want to kill everyone in Baiyun Village, then the only option is to target women who are just as pitiful as them.
"If you do this, how are you any different from the men in Baiyun Village?"
Wen Li's words were resounding, and the seven vengeful ghosts in front of her were all stunned.
They never thought about the problem from this perspective.
After death, they transform from lonely ghosts into vengeful spirits, their minds filled only with the obsession of revenge.
"But in all these years, has anyone stood up for us and brought us justice? This is what our ancestors in Baiyun Village have always done, and in all these years, has the police ever done anything about it!"
Wu Qingqian said in despair, "Do you know how desperate we were when we died? None of us wanted to die. I had a father and mother, and I had a brother who loved me. A few days before I died, I saw my parents asking about my whereabouts at the village entrance. My father's hair had turned white, and my mother's eyes had gone blind from crying. What use is the law? What use is the police? We still died!"
Wu Qingqian's voice was like a cuckoo crying blood; her words were filled with hatred, resentment, and despair.
What she wanted was never justice delayed!
Justice delayed is no longer meaningful to them.
But the law in society must be believed in. Every society has its imperfections, and even God has things he cannot see.
But God's duty is to bring light into the shadows.
Wen Li stared intently at Wu Qingqian, her gentle voice carrying a serious and earnest tone: "The law cannot make everyone equal, but everyone is equal before the law. I assure you all that all the villagers in Baiyun Village who participated in human trafficking will receive the punishment they deserve."
Wen Li paused, then her tone became even harsher: "But if you want to use your ghostly bodies to take revenge, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
As Wen Li released her icy aura, Wu Qingqian and the others saw a large amount of Yin energy emanating from her. Although the girl in front of them was a person, she made them subconsciously submit!
Wu Qingqian's eyes were filled with fear, and the seven fierce ghosts immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a word.
Wen Li withdrew her aura with satisfaction and said calmly, "Do you still remember where your remains were thrown away?"
Wu Qingqian nodded and said with difficulty, "People die in Baiyun Village almost every month. They didn't build us any tombstones. They dug a big pit behind the highest mountain in Baiyun Village. Only villagers go up the mountain on weekdays. They are not afraid of being discovered. Our bodies are all just dumped there."
Wen Li stood up: "Let's go take a look."
Wu Qingqian suddenly looked up: "What?"
Wen Li turned her head away, her face somewhat obscured by the dim light, but her voice was firm: "Before sunrise today, all the villagers involved in the case in Baiyun Village will be brought to justice."
