Chapter 3, The Transfer of the Underworld
The sound of clapping or applause
However, there is no sound of teeth merging or bones breaking
His neck had become stiff, and the blood falling from his head was increasing. In the pitch-black classroom, he mechanically raised his head and shone the light of his phone upwards.
At the moment the wind began to rise, the eerie child's eyes, resembling black holes, suddenly constricted
Sha... Qin Ye drew out the long knife and gently ran his index finger across it: "Then... starting today, I will take charge."
Surrounded by shadows, the hundred demons retreat, and the path he rides is exceptionally tranquil. As he walks, his mind races: "Listening to his words, he should be a government official. A spirit rated 'B'... does this mean the state has already taken notice of these matters?"
The rain continues to fall, and the entire school is enveloped in silence
With the calm sound behind him, the flying rope suddenly tightened, and the child, with a whimpering sound, was inexplicably pulled back as if by an invisible force, defying the laws of mechanics. The classroom door slammed shut with a loud bang
Isn't there still nothing in this `predation zone'? Is the old lady playing with me? The promised official position is nowhere to be seen, and this month I have already collected three resentful spirits for free labor, what is this?
At this moment, his gaze suddenly flickered, squinting as he looked out the window
Another ten seconds passed, and the voice said, "Well... I apologize for the interruption"
The other party seemed to crouch down, their clothes brushing against the ground, producing a rustling sound. It was only after a few seconds that the call connected: "It's me"
How could it possibly be a ghostly messenger
He walked up to Zhang Yilong and Wang Chenghao, extending his hand without a trace of compassion, grasping their cheeks to examine them, then flipping their eyelids open. After gazing for several seconds, he suddenly delivered a hard kick to each of their stomachs.
His hand gently pressed against the scabbard at his waist: "Which wild spirit are you? State your name."
As his thoughts raced, he had already ridden to the outskirts of the county; Qingxi County is not large. For decades, the village's graves have been situated against the backdrop of Qinglong Mountain, and naturally, a street dedicated to the funeral industry has formed at the foot of this mountain
With a whoosh, the previously tightly shut doors and windows swung open simultaneously, and a shadowy figure rushed madly out of the classroom. However, at that very moment, a flying cord suddenly shot out from behind, as if it had eyes, accurately ensnaring the magical artifact in his mouth.
There was no response. After a few seconds, a resentful voice echoed again: "The underworld has not intervened in human affairs for a hundred years. Why do you wish to break this precedent?"
Indeed... I have heard of such suppression before... This is...
Um... um um um! The strange child twisted their body, and their enormous mouth was tightly shut, yet it was lightly blocked by this magical artifact within their oral cavity
Suddenly, a whirlwind erupted in the classroom, and a cloud of dust formed a visible ring of small shockwaves that blew outside. The window sill was swept up and flew straight up.
I am happy
"In the midst of forgetting everything... it seems that your family did not teach you well. I will take it upon myself to discipline you on behalf of your parents." He sneered as he grabbed Zhang Yilong and slapped him across the face. Before his head could even turn away, another slap came back.
A piercing scream echoed, resembling a sound of great sorrow, as if it had completely dissolved into the rain. On the blade of his ghostly knife, the soul of a youthful face transformed into black mist and quietly vanished. It was then swallowed into the hilt of the ghostly knife, igniting a patch of green flames. In an instant, it came to a halt
Qin Ye turned his back, his right hand arched over his head, holding a silver staff-like magical tool, with lotus flowers at both ends, perfectly propped in the child's mouth
So terrifying ... ... the child's whole body is trembling, this feeling ... ... seems to be engraved in the soul, it is a complete suppression on a level.
Ah ah ah ah! Zhang Yilong and Wang Chenghao let out a desperate scream, their eyes rolled back, and they both fainted.
neither hurried nor delayed
Well... I can handle the situation properly, so you can rest assured...
The expression on Qin Ye's face was completely different from usual, carrying a hint of mockery and a touch of indifference. He smiled and said, "Finally out, huh..."
The rain has stopped, and there is not a single person on the road. The once bustling night market has become deserted since the nationwide notice was issued last week. Only the streetlights shine lonely, casting a glow on Qin Ye's unhurried figure.
You let out a sharp scream, and immediately the windows and doors flew open, unleashing a howling gale.
On both sides of the not very wide street, there stood as many as twenty shops selling offerings for the dead, such as paper figures and paper horses, as well as firecrackers and joss paper. Although not many, this is quite considerable for a county town with a population of only thirty thousand.
Boom
Qin Ye picked up a bit of ash and sniffed it, sneering, "Forgetfulness incense"
He furrowed his brows deeply and murmured while gazing at the pitch-black night sky: "With so many eyes around, its traces become even harder to find..."
It is him again. Qin Ye retracted his head, his brows deeply furrowed. The dark energy around him suddenly dissipated, and his clothes transformed into ordinary attire. He held his breath, closed his eyes, and lay down on the ground
The dim light, the swaying visuals, in this moment, he saw gaping mouths the size of a foot, with pale skin, appearing above his head at an unknown time
The sound of clattering echoed... Along the way, the desks were smashed to pieces, and with a clang, the hook lock flew back with that silver artifact. At the same time, the child's body exploded with a buzzing sound, transforming into streams of black mist that dispersed in all directions. A hoarse voice filled with immense resentment emerged: "Yin Chai guides the dead, Wu Chang binds the souls... It is a ghostly messenger... There actually exists a genuine ghostly messenger in this world!"
He remained motionless, like a seemingly lifeless turtle, and only after a full hour did he secretly open his eyes.
The crisp sound of flesh colliding echoed continuously in the classroom
If there is, then come for another meal
With a sense of emotion, he grabbed the two individuals and, with a loud thud, threw them over his shoulder to the ground. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, tossing them aside like a deflated ball and brushing off his hands.
Do ghosts have a physical form
In the center of the classroom, a black vortex formed and then exploded with a loud bang. Qin Ye, with a somewhat pale complexion, wore a black robe with a slanted collar, embroidered with three circular black-and-white patterns of the mythical creature Diting. He was adorned with a soul-binding cord at his waist and wore a black hollowed-out hat symbolizing unity. Pure black ominous energy surged from his sleeves and collar, causing his garments to swell without wind, exuding an imposing presence without anger.
Yes... no findings, quite strange. There have been three supernatural incidents in Qingxi County, and the levels of the malevolent spirits are definitely not low, requiring my personal intervention... However, for some reason, all three of these malevolent spirits were exorcised by someone before I arrived...
Xiao Qin! A middle-aged woman saw him stop the car and immediately ran over: "You finally came back! Hurry! Something big has happened at your home!"
Everything came to an abrupt halt
Hello. I am an investigator from the National Special Investigation Office stationed at the Qingxi County branch, with the identification number AC - 285. May I come in
The jagged teeth, with a sharp screech, suddenly lunged towards him!
Perhaps there is, for at this moment, one can visibly see countless dark energies swirling around the child. Yet right before him, a much denser aura of阴气 has formed a pitch-black vortex, completely enveloping Qin Ye
The ghostly officials have not appeared for a hundred years! ... No ...! ... This is not important; any ghostly official holds a position of authority, and dealing with these wild ghosts is simply effortless!
Qin Ye spoke these words softly, and with a light sound, the blade gleamed like snow
It was a flying cable with a ghostly hand at its tip, entirely composed of a silvery-white chain. As it was grasped, a complex array of characters illuminated the cable. It was but a fleeting moment, and with a wail, the spirit of the child who was running wildly suddenly fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The classroom is now completely empty, and the desks and chairs have returned to their original state. On the podium, a pile of burnt ashes still emits residual warmth
I do not know how long it has been, perhaps five minutes, perhaps ten minutes, when suddenly there was a loud knocking sound at the door
Bang! The two individuals were directly kicked and crashed against the blackboard, producing a muffled sound
Leaving the classroom, I quietly walked to the edge of the school wall, flipped over, and jumped more than 2 meters, landing outside the wall. There was a bicycle parked right there.
Good people do not live long, while calamities can last for a thousand years
Of course, no one answered
Have you watched too many gangster films? You haven't even fully grown your hair yet, have you ever seen a real gang?
Suddenly, his body trembled violently, emitting a sharp cry as he rushed outside in a frenzy: "The ghostly messenger! It is the ghostly messenger! The gates of the underworld have opened! It is the ghostly messenger coming to take people!"
The next day, after hearing it, I will remember nothing. If I am not mistaken... this fragrant material is very precious, the old woman said she does not have much of it either... This person... casually took out a piece, is it still 'processing the scene?' Isn't that a bit extravagant? He gazed thoughtfully out the door: 'Since I began to guide the first vengeful spirit, he has been tracking me down. Like a wild dog, he clings on relentlessly... He should be grateful; if it weren't for the fact that his lifespan is not yet over, I would have sent him down to rest long ago.' Casually took out a piece, is it still 'processing the scene?' Isn't that a bit extravagant? He gazed thoughtfully out the door: 'Since I began to guide the first vengeful spirit, he has been tracking me down. Like a wild dog, he clings on relentlessly... He should be grateful; if it weren't for the fact that his lifespan is not yet over, I would have sent him down to rest long ago.'
From the beginning, I felt something was amiss... According to the customs of my country, how could such feudal superstition possibly make it to the daily news? This is the government laying the groundwork for the future... Has it really come to this? The entire nation has started broadcasting. Moreover, relevant departments have been established? The emergency measures are indeed swift...
Upon hanging up the phone, Qin Ye heard a faint sigh and the sound of a lighter, followed by a strange fragrance wafting over.
So... how many people know about this matter now
Zila! He turned around and left, completely disregarding the magical artifact he was holding in his mouth, feeling an overwhelming sense of terror, a thousand times more than the fear experienced by Wang Chenghao and Zhang Yilong
Do not understand the unity among classmates? Mutual love and assistance? Today's students... face the storm!
His perspective was excellent; at this moment, the room was completely dark, and it was impossible to see inside from the outside. However, he could clearly see, amidst the heavy rain, a hunched-over man, entirely cloaked in black, who was leaning on a cane and stumbling through the curtain of rain.
His family's "funeral services" shop has a simple and easy-to-understand name, located at the very back of the store. At this moment, he was astonished to find that a large crowd had gathered around it
Qin Ye slightly furrowed his brows, closing his eyes as if he were sensing something. After a few seconds, he let out a long sigh: "It is not it..."
I have searched for you for so long, I have played the fool for so long, and you finally couldn't hold back any longer
"Yincha extradition, do you still want to run?"
From behind, a naked child, pale all over, was holding Qin Ye's head and bit down on it
The door was gently pushed open, followed first by two coughs, and then by the leisurely sound of a cane tapping. There was also a faint sound of metal chains clinking, emanating from beneath the heavy clothing
The two individuals already bore bruised faces, yet they still kept their eyes tightly shut. Qin Ye's strikes were methodical, appearing fierce and feeling painful, but there were no internal injuries. This pig-like face would be sufficient for them to endure for several days. After all, they were merely students, not embroiled in any life-and-death feud; there was nothing that a good beating could not resolve.
As soon as the words were spoken, a visible black wind surged from Qin Ye like a tide. At the same time, a solemn voice echoed through the black wind: "The underworld is in transit, all unauthorized personnel retreat!"
Indeed, it is the same person, and his mark is very distinct. The malevolent energy is much denser than that of ordinary spirits... I have never encountered such a rich presence of malevolent energy... I understand now, and I will notify the city when necessary. However, so far, there is no evidence that this spirit rated 'B' has harmed anyone, as if... it is targeting these evil spirits? I believe there is no need to act rashly... However, so far, there is no evidence that this spirit rated 'B' has harmed anyone, as if... it is targeting these evil spirits? I believe there is no need to act rashly...
Hey, hey, hey, this is a certified position; I am indeed a civil servant of the underworld... You say we can leave at any time, don't you think you are being too dismissive of the village chief's authority?
