Chapter 90 An Incredibly Foolish Dream
Chapter 90 An Incredibly Foolish Dream
Some people were still puzzled, but Xu Qianhui pursed her lips thoughtfully, "Actually, I've thought about this question too, but the principle is to not use those you doubt and not doubt those you use. I thought he might have other plans, so I didn't delve into it."
Although she spoke cryptically, the others could vaguely guess what she meant.
Jiang Meimei's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the floor. "Why did Yu lie? What good would it do him to trap us?"
Seeing that it was almost time, Cheng Ai told Song Yifei to leave. She picked up a talisman between her fingers and chanted a spell, "In my name, I summon the Divine Lord, the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and the Impermanent One."
The overhead lights went out instantly, a chilling wind blew by, the space in the center of the restaurant distorted, a huge vortex appeared, and two familiar figures slowly emerged.
Ye Jingke stood up and stood next to Cheng Ai. The Yu and Xu families knelt down together, while Zhong Zheyi looked completely bewildered, having no idea what he should do.
Cheng Ai withdrew her hand and asked first, "Do you know the origin of jade? I'm not sure which character it is, but I feel it's the jade from the stone!"
"Jade?" Bai Wuchang muttered, then, as if remembering something, his voice turned icy and chilling, "Where is he?"
Cheng Ai picked up her solo photo and threw it over, saying, "Yu wanted to trap me inside, but unexpectedly I managed to kill her instead."
The White Impermanence suspended the photo in mid-air, went inside to take a look, and then came out, saying, "That's right, it's him!"
Black Impermanence curled his lips slightly and scoffed, "So many years have passed, and he's still as arrogant as ever!"
“Yes!” Bai Wuchang crushed the photo and laughed mockingly. “Haste makes waste. Once he loses his physical body, he’ll probably have to wait ten thousand years to realize that foolish dream. It’s just a pity that we won’t give him that chance again.”
Their back-and-forth banter left everyone bewildered, including Cheng Ai. "What are you two talking about? I don't understand a word of it!"
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Wuchang finally decided to tell the truth: Cheng Ai had captured the person, and she had the right to know the truth. "His name is indeed Yu, but not Yu as in jade, but Yu as in desire."
Like us before him, he was a candidate for the Ghost Messenger position, but he was extremely resentful after losing, and even developed many unrealistic obsessions.
Black Impermanence shook the soul chains, causing the Yu and Xu families to tremble in fear. "He wanted to unify the Three Realms and control all things. At first, he only caused trouble in the Underworld. When he was discovered, he fled to the human world to continue causing trouble. He is not very capable and cannot directly attack people for the time being, so he turned his attention to souls with resentment."
"No way?" Wang Yuetang exclaimed, looking up in disbelief. Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he quickly shrank back, pretending to be a good boy.
Black Impermanence wasn't angry at being interrupted. He just glanced at them indifferently and then returned to the main topic, "He uses various means to trick wronged souls into accepting a certain special ability, then traps them in a barrier, and absorbs them on the night of the full moon, thus gaining evil power."
Cheng Ai frowned. Jiang Meimei said that the grave was covered with talismans, so it seemed that there was a divination master here who was particularly good at setting up formations. She wondered when she would be able to meet him.
With a wave of his long sleeves, Bai Wuchang carefully sensed the surroundings and said, "There is no trace of desire within a radius of fifty miles. If we cannot find the tomb, we cannot bring him back to the underworld."
"A grave? A mound?" Wang Yuetang shouted excitedly, raising his hands. "I know the location!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Wanli covered his mouth tightly, saying, "Don't talk too much, or you'll anger Lord Ghost Officer."
Bai Wuchang let out a long sigh and tried his best to show Wang Yuetang a kind expression. "After I deal with your family, will you take me to the tomb?"
Wang Yuetang was taken aback, and asked timidly, "Can I refuse?"
"No," the White Impermanence replied amicably.
Black Impermanence didn't have his patience; he directly used Soul Chains to bind the eight members of the Yu and Xu families and drag them towards the vortex.
For a time, cries of agony and pleas for mercy filled the air:
"Ahhh...no...we haven't gotten our revenge yet..."
"Wu Xu has committed heinous crimes. Why are you arresting us instead of him?"
"Why don't you respect the elderly? Why don't you love the young? Let us go!"
Seeing that everyone was getting closer and closer to the vortex, Cheng Ai quickly called for a stop, "There are still some things that haven't been resolved. Why don't you go find Yu first?"
Black Impermanence retrieved the soul chains and left with Wang Yuetang.
As soon as the Yu and Xu families relaxed their guard, they collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Cheng Ai glanced at it and tentatively asked, "Yu Liangyan, Xu Wanli, and Zhu Qiya don't have physical bodies, can they be reincarnated?"
The three mentioned looked at Bai Wuchang with hopeful expressions, afraid that he would say something disappointing.
Bai Wuchang shook his head, his voice still icy, "Some of them are missing a part of their soul, some are missing three parts of their spirit. No matter what, they cannot be reincarnated."
"Just as I thought." Yu Liangyan closed his eyes in despair, then pointed urgently at his beloved wife, "Can she do it?"
Bai Wuchang nodded, "Xu Qianhui's soul is intact and she has not committed any major mistakes, so she can be reborn as a human."
Ye Jingke couldn't help but ask, "Has Lü Hanmo's son been reincarnated?"
If the boss dared to ask, Zhong Zheyi, as a junior employee, naturally wouldn't back down either. "Where are my parents? Did they reincarnate successfully too?"
White Impermanence felt he had come to answer a question, and although he was dissatisfied, he still answered, "He devoured four unborn babies, so he can only be reincarnated as an animal."
He then looked at Zhong Zheyi, and with just one glance, all his information was read. "Your father was also a beast, and your mother's soul never went to the underworld, so I don't know anything about her."
The first part of the sentence sounds like an insult, but no one cares about that at a time like this.
Ye Jingke was just asking casually, hoping for a result, but Zhong Zheyi was completely bewildered, never expecting that his mother hadn't been reincarnated yet.
If she didn't go to the underworld, where did she go?
Cheng Ai smiled with satisfaction. Zhong Zheyi was quite sensible, knowing to ask about his own family matters.
However, he had slight bruising around his eyes. If his mother remained in the world, the growing resentment would affect his health.
Cheng Ai coughed twice to signal everyone to be quiet, then took Ye Jingke's phone and played the recording, "Besides matters of lust, the grudges between the eight members of the Yu and Xu families and Master Wu are all recorded in it."
After saying that, she walked towards Wu Xu and said coldly, "Now you have two choices. First, I will report you to the police on Friday night and provide evidence. Second, you can turn yourself in. Choose now and don't waste everyone's time."
Wu Xu had no desire to choose, stubbornly sticking out his neck like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. "I made their deaths so worthwhile and saved so many people. Not only do you not want to reward me, but you also want to send me to the police station?"
Cheng Ai scoffed and crossed her arms. "Before recording the variety show, Ye Jingke investigated your background. There was no information about Bai Liguan, but it did record the fact that you were already married and had children. If you are willing to give up the lives of your son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, I can save them for free, and I might even spare your life!"
