To comply outwardly while secretly opposing
e wooden door, thinking I could still eavesdrop from outside.The little lynx walked to my feet and whispered, "Do you think that the Emperor here doesn't know you eavesdropped Come on...you can ask hi...A bald head suddenly appeared under the door, which was quite creepy. But my brother and I were already used to this kind of abnormal horror.
I'm more afraid of gory, mangled limbs. Those scenes are too bloody and nauseating for me, no matter how many times I watch them, I can't accept it.
My brother just paused for a moment, then the Universe-Shifting Sword in his hand turned half a circle and he reversed his grip, stabbing straight into the back of the person's neck.
This is a human's body, it should have been possessed by a ghost.
The power of the sword pinned the apparition to the ground. My brother scoffed, "Even as a ghost, you're such a scoundrel! You crawled in from under the bathroom stall door In ghost movies, they always peek down from above. You're the only one who doesn't take the usual route! What are you trying to spy on!"
"Ugh, ugh!" The ghost struggled desperately after being nailed to its neck.
"You've killed quite a few people, haven't you Why are you able to just wander around here How come no ghost catcher has come to apprehend your soul" I frowned.
"Master, please spare me… Ugh… I… I haven't found a replacement ghost yet…" The ghost struggled desperately, its face pressed against the floor.
Substitute
He's not a drowned spirit seeking revenge, looking for someone to take his place.
"Could you be more specific What do you mean by 'stand-in'" I asked.
"No, no... I can't say it... If I do, I'll be... wiped out..." The male ghost spoke with a stutter, always trailing off.
My brother knelt down and sneered, "Since you're a ghost, you should be able to see what's different about the person in front of you. She didn't send you to the underworld to have your bones scattered, you should be grateful and tell the truth honestly, or I'll really summon the executioners to interrogate you~~"
"...Last time, a living ghost was stabbed by a jailer, piercing its intestines. The jailer even held the ghost's hair, ready to strike from the scalp and begin peeling it..."
A Criminal Enforcement Officer is a specialized ghost messenger in charge of torture and punishment. These ghosts should all know this.
The male ghost trembled as he raised his head to look at us, black blood welling up from his eye sockets, and making a pleading gesture.
The seal of the Northern Dipper Emperor is on me. This is a backup of the Underworld Venerable God's seal. With my current cultivation, I can already see clearly that the densely packed characters on it are... the *Fengdu Sutra for Atonement*.
This scripture can make the spells such as "Jinqiao Du Y幽 (Golden Bridge Crossing Ghost)" and "Liyu Shou Xie (Standing in Prison, Suppressing Evil)" more powerful.
Even a slightly capable ghost could sense the anomaly, for they were born with an inherent fear of such an aura.
Just as a scoundrel would tremble upon hearing a siren, this male ghost shivered and pleaded, "If I tell the truth...will both masters spare me"
"Didn't even say anything and you want to haggle! Don't be ridiculous! This young master has things to do, no time to waste with you. If you don't speak, I'll subdue you, then go deal with the other ghosts! It's just a few more talismans!"
The subtext is: Don't delay Young Master's date, ahhhh! Qian is still waiting outside!
I wasn't comfortable with Lin Yanqin waiting around here. I cast a spell to summon the Ghost Gate and said, "That's enough. If you have any grievances, explain them in the underworld."
"Don't, don't, don't! At least give me a proper send-off! Let me suffer a little less!" The male ghost looked at me in fear.
"Damn it! You damn ghost, you want to harm us and even dare to ask us for a supersition The supersition talisman is so expensive, why should we give it to you!" My brother fiercely stabbed at the back of his neck.
"I, I don't know how I got so unlucky—to meet both of you masters! Please spare me, Masters! All I want is to find a scapegoat so I can leave here!" he pleaded.
"Finding a scapegoat is the work of vengeful spirits bound to the bottom of the water. What does it have to do with you" I frowned and asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The male ghost looked like a turtle, with its limbs outstretched and its head stuck under the door. He said pitifully: "We are earthbound spirits... There's something underneath this building... That thing likes blood. People who die here have their souls imprisoned by that thing. Only when one person dies and gives that thing blood will it let us leave, allowing us to enter the convenience store and pass on..."
"A convenience store!"
Both of us were stunned. What was the mystery behind that 24-hour convenience store
Wait, I suddenly remembered what the cashier said. He said the boss specifically instructed that people coming in through the back door don't have to pay.
This business center is completely cleared out every day at 5:30 p.m., with only the convenience store's storefront facing the street. Its back door leads to the building's lobby.
Then, starting at 5:30 pm, the only ones who could enter the convenience store through the back door were... ghosts
“Here... people die every year. Economic disputes, family disputes, suicides, accidents... all of them are that thing's doing! It's incredibly powerful but never shows itself. It uses magic to bind us, turning us into earthbound spirits. We only exist to provide it with blood energy by killing someone. Only then will it let us go and allow us to enter the convenience store. A ghost who leaves the convenience store can finally be reincarnated.”
I frowned. There were two bells hanging on the back door. They were the kind used for summoning spirits and chasing corpses. These ghosts entered the convenience store but didn't seem to pass on peacefully. Instead, they were probably summoned by the bells and returned through the back door — but where did they go
"Were you all deceived I just saw a black bell hanging on the doorway of the convenience store. It's probably used to summon ghosts back through the back door. That thing needs your blood and wants to make you work for it, so how could it possibly let you die easily Maybe it was all a lie! The ghosts who entered the convenience store didn't ascend, they were eaten by that thing!" I frowned.
The male ghost was startled: "You, how did you know..."
My brother interjected, "Nonsense! How long has that thing been causing havoc Why hasn't anyone in the Underworld known about what's happening here It must be that every ghost can't get directly to the Underworld! You guys are really stupid!"
The male ghost was speechless.
"Besides you, how many ghosts are there in this building waiting to harm people" I asked.
"Some, some... there's an abandoned dead infant by the escape staircase, and a female ghost on the seventh floor. The two of them love pushing people off the building! And there are some fresh deaths... like the woman who jumped last week and landed in the car showroom, her body was split in half!" said the male ghost hastily.
I frowned. "Probably something when they started building the apartment complex. Maybe we should go check it out"
"Well, let's get this over with." My brother kicked the bald man in the face, sending him flying backward.
He suddenly looked up at the door when I opened the bathroom cabinet, and something that resembled a large dog darted away from the side of the door!
What is that
My brother took off running, and I followed him. The black shadow was incredibly fast, using both hands and feet to weave through the shopping mall. We couldn't catch up at all.
"Little Qiao! You're blocking me here! I'll go get this thing over, you start reciting the incantation first!" My older brother commanded.
I quickly grabbed him: "Wait! Why do I feel like that's a person!"
"Humans! Humans walk on all fours!" My brother gave me a look of disdain. me again and I'll use silver needles on you!" My mind was a little muddled, and I blurted out a threat at random.Who knew that these little rascals, upon hearing this, all jumped in fright and quickl...
