Chapter 90: Fengdu underworld messenger

Chapter 90: Fengdu underworld messenger

After collecting the fragments from the two ghosts, Pei Ye no longer worried that their yin energy would harm the children in the room.

The entire abandoned building was shrouded within a mental domain, and everything within the domain, both dead and living, was under her control.

On the second floor, the lustful ghost living on the stairs had not yet broken free from the Ghost Binding Talisman.

“Ask a few questions. If you answer well, I will let you go.”

The male ghost looked at Pei Ye coming down the dark staircase and revealed an expression of terror as if he had seen a ghost, which then quickly turned into a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.

It is over (；′⌒`)

The two upstairs neighbors could not kill Pei Ye, he was probably in serious trouble.

“G, great boss, ask whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know, without holding anything back!”

The male ghost revealed a fawning, ingratiating smile. Unfortunately, his face already looked lecherous, and the more he smiled, the more obscene he seemed.

“How long have you been living here?”

The male ghost said pitifully, “A long time, I think since the time I died, I have been staying here.”

“What do you know about the male and female ghosts upstairs?”

The male ghost could answer this question.

As he spoke, Pei Ye gradually pieced together the rough situation.

The male ghost on the second, third, and fourth floors all used to be employees of the same electrical appliance processing factory.

The male ghost on the second floor had the longest history as a ghost, and his cause of death was not complicated.

He died suddenly from overwork on his way back to the dorm after staying up late for overtime work. His body had already gone cold and was only discovered the next day.

He had never married, never had a girlfriend, and died still a virgin.

His obsession was women.

However, he only had the courage to think but not act. When he was alive, he only dared to watch various short videos, and after death he only dared to hide on the stairs and peek.

The ghosts on the third and fourth floors were different.

“The woman joined the factory two years after me, and the man joined at the same time as her. The man had liked the woman for a long time, but he never confessed. In modern terms, he was just a backup simp. Later that woman got some illness, they said her uterus was removed and she could no longer have children.”

Pei Ye asked, “How did they die?”

The male ghost recounted everything he knew.

“They were killed by a ghost!”

“A ghost?”

“A super fierce ghost!” the male ghost said with lingering fear. “It swallowed several nearby old ghosts alive, it scared the hell out of me!”

He could still remember how that ghost tore off arms and heads and ate them.

The scene was so brutal and bloody that it was all censored in his mind.

“That ghost killed the woman first, then when the man rushed over, he was killed too.”

While taking notes, Pei Ye asked.

“So fierce? Then how did their souls survive?”

The male ghost said, “Later another ghost came and called away the first one who was killing and eating ghosts.”

Pei Ye paused her writing.

“Continue! What else do you remember?”

The male ghost desperately searched his memories, trying hard to recall every detail of that night.

A ghost’s life was too long and too boring. They repeated the same dull routine almost every day until their brains felt rusted.

Only that night was so thrilling that it left a deep impression.

“At first that ghost was extremely fierce, surrounded by a red aura. Later another ghost in a black robe came… all dark… it seemed like he had urgent business. They hurried into a pitch black door that appeared out of nowhere, so the ghosts upstairs managed to survive.” The male ghost said with relief. “Good thing I hid well and ran fast, otherwise I would have been finished too.”

Pei Ye recorded “black robe” and “pitch black door,” marking them with circles.

“Pitch black door? What did it look like?”

“What about the black robe?”

The male ghost gestured for a long time but could not describe it. Pei Ye could only “obtain permission” and view that night’s memory.

According to the memory, the male ghost was hiding at a distance, and what he saw was very blurry. However, Pei Ye still recognized it.

The black robe was the official uniform of Fengdu underworld messengers.

The pitch black door was the Ghost Gate connecting Fengdu and the human world.

The second ghost was clearly not there to capture the first fierce ghost. They were accomplices.

Underworld messengers, Ghost Gate, murderous devouring fierce ghosts…

Tsk.

The situation was becoming more and more complicated.

From the looks of it, Fengdu was not truly clean either.

Pei Ye took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it with a snap of her fingers, and at the same time removed the Ghost Binding Talisman from the male ghost.

“Reform yourself. Be a proper ghost. Do not waste your time.”

Do not be fooled by Pei Ye’s smoking, drinking, tattoos, and fighting, she seemed unruly, but in reality she was an old cadre type who liked to kick people back onto the right path.

The male ghost staying on the stairs all day peeking under skirts was not a proper thing to do.

Better to find something meaningful and live properly.

“I am already a ghost now.” The male ghost sat on the stairs aggrieved and complained, “I worked myself to death when I was alive, now I just want to be lazy to death as a ghost!”

Normally, ordinary souls did not need to eat.

They would have appetite and hunger, but that was just a natural reaction of the soul.

For most ghosts, eating was to satisfy desire and maintain habits from life, not for survival.

As long as they could endure hunger, they would not starve even after several years without eating, such as the little girl upstairs, or this lazy ghost on the stairs.

“Fine, every ghost has its own ambition. If you want to be lazy to death, then so be it, I will not stop you. Only one thing, do not do such obscene things again. If I catch you next time, I will let you understand what it means to be worse than death.” Pei Ye said calmly as she threatened the male ghost.

The male ghost nodded vigorously like pounding garlic, looking obedient on the surface, but inwardly he was unconvinced.

Could Pei Ye really watch him twenty four hours a day?

The world was so big. If he moved somewhere else in a few days, their chances of meeting would be extremely small.

However, Pei Ye was very sharp. How could she not see his true thoughts?

“Oh right, I need you to help me with something.”

The male ghost immediately said, “Boss, just say it. Even if it is climbing mountains of knives or going through seas of fire, I will do it!”

Pei Ye said, “When Black and White Impermanence arrives later, you will be my witness!”

The male ghost: “!!”

Black, Black and White Impermanence?

He thought it was a lie.

The next second, reality slapped him in the face. A man in white clothes, holding the Soul Binding Chain, crawled out from a vortex of yin energy.

“I say, can you change your summoning command?”

This week was White Impermanence’s shift.

On his first day on duty, he ran into Pei Ye’s summons. He barely made it through the week peacefully, thinking he would finally be safe, only to be summoned again right before the shift change.

Pei Ye said, “It works every time. Changing it would not make a difference.”

White Impermanence: “…”

As the idol in the hearts of countless Fengdu underworld messengers, he had a thousand curse words in his head.

Unfortunately, Pei Ye was too terrifying. He could only force out an awkward smile.

“So, what is it this time?”

Last time Pei Ye stirred up trouble, Fengdu and the Celestial Masters Alliance related departments had not been able to settle things properly until now.

Escaped fierce ghosts had built considerable forces in the human world and were extremely alert. At the slightest disturbance, they would flee immediately.

When the Celestial Masters Alliance and Fengdu underworld messengers investigated, the place was already empty.

This alarmed the enemy, making future tracking even harder.

White Impermanence was still worried about how to report this to the Great Emperor of Fengdu when Pei Ye used the courier department’s command again.

“Of course it is serious business.”
