Chapter 368 Returning
Ming Ran shivered unconsciously.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were shocked when they saw the two ghost messengers suddenly appear on the screen.
[I'm not mistaken, those two holding handcuffs and shackles are the ghost messengers who are seducing souls! ]
[Oh my god, the suit is so well-tailored, and he has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. He looks pretty good too. He's so handsome! It makes me want to die right now.]
I didn't expect the ghost catchers in the underworld to be so good-looking. This is considered a career path in the underworld, right? Can I reserve a spot and have them come and take my soul after I die?
[Oh my god, you crazy, love-crazy girls up there, can you please restrain yourself? Shouldn't the focus right now be on Mingran's safety? I really can't stand you crazy girls.]
The moment Ming Ran saw the phone screen, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her eyes widened.
She stared at the direction of the ghost messenger, screamed, and shouted: "Anchor, help!!!"
For a moment, this sharp sound filled the entire live broadcast room.
Bai Ningyu and many netizens in the live broadcast room raised their hands to scratch their ears, which were ringing due to the sound waves.
However, those netizens who were wearing headphones were even more shocked by the sound and started crying in the comment section.
At this moment, Mingran's life lamp moved again and was about to go out.
At this moment, one of the ghost officials threw the soul-catching rope in his hand towards Ming Ran.
A golden light flashed across Bai Ningyu's fingertips, and the ghost's soul-catching rope was bounced back.
Afterwards, Bai Ningyu raised her hand and drew a talisman in the air, and then with a slight wave of her finger, the talisman glowing with golden light entered Ming Ran's body.
In an instant, the fire of the life lamp above Mingran's head seemed to be stabilized.
Seeing this, the two ghost officials frowned and looked at Ming Ran in front of them.
The ghost holding the soul-catching rope asked sternly, "Can you see us?"
Ming Ran nodded subconsciously when she heard that, but she immediately came to her senses and shook her head frantically. She was even more panicked inside, and tears streamed down her face.
The other ghost officer holding handcuffs and shackles saw Ming Ran's reaction and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He actually came up to Ming Ran, bent down, and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Ming Ran was so frightened by this scene that her heart seemed to be about to burst out of her chest, and her whole body began to tremble visibly.
Seeing this, the ghost officer actually laughed, revealing a pair of cute little fangs. He said in surprise to the ghost officer holding the soul-catching rope behind him, "She can really see me! This is so funny!"
When Bai Ningyu saw the ghost catcher's reaction, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She secretly complained in her heart, wondering how this guy had passed the underworld assessment and become a ghost catcher.
Netizens were amused by this scene.
[It's obvious that he's a newly hired ghost messenger, and everything he sees is new and exciting.]
[Wow~ This little brother is so cute, especially when he smiles and has those two little canine teeth. He looks like he's easy to bully.]
[The guy above, do you want to listen to what you are saying...]
The ghost holding the soul-catching rope was also stunned.
He then coughed lightly, his expression becoming extremely serious as he shouted, "How dare you! Your fate is over! I advise you to give up resistance and follow us obediently. Don't force us to take action!"
"Wait a minute, my two lords. Mingran's life span has not yet ended. Someone used evil magic to steal her life span and injected it into a dying person to prolong his life." Bai Ningyu's voice came from the phone.
"Who's talking!" Upon hearing this, the ghost holding the soul-catching rope immediately held the soul-catching rope, assumed a fighting posture, and looked around vigilantly.
Ming Ran hurriedly and tremblingly raised her mobile phone and aimed the live broadcast at the two ghost officials.
The ghost officer holding handcuffs and shackles came forward and looked at Bai Ningyu on the phone with a tone of excitement that was hard to conceal: "You just called me sir!?"
[Ahhh! Little puppy brother, come to your sister's arms quickly, your sister loves you! ]
[Oh my god, he's even more handsome when I get closer. He's incredibly handsome. I wonder how old he is and if he's married?]
[Hey, the guy above, why are you asking if someone is married? Are you planning a ghost marriage with them?]
The ghost messenger looked at the overwhelming praise on his phone screen, smiled widely, and waved to the netizens: "You can all see me! My name is Laixi, and the one behind me is my colleague, his name is Guiqu."
Afterwards, Lai Xi turned around and said to another ghost messenger, "Everyone used to praise me for being so handsome!"
Seeing this, he bit his back teeth and looked at his unreliable partner, who was smiling in a worthless manner. Suddenly, his forehead was full of black lines.
He immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lai Xi's collar, dragged him behind him, and looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
However, the comments from netizens caught his eye.
[Guiqu, Laixi, is it Guiqulaixi? Why do they look so good together?]
[That's right, one handsome face is next to another handsome face, one is sunny and bright, the other is cold and serious, even the names are so compatible, I have already imagined a novel in my mind.]
[I say, you bunch of fujoshi, how can you support any couple? Supporting everything will only hurt you! ]
When Gui saw the comments on her phone, a barely noticeable blush flashed across her cheeks. She then put her hand to her lips and coughed lightly to hide the slight embarrassment.
"Who are you? Are you the one stopping me from drawing out her soul?" Gui looked at Bai Ningyu and asked.
"My name is Bai Ningyu, a cultivator. Mingran should not die. I would like to ask this sir to report this matter to the King of Hell, find out the truth, and punish the evildoer." Bai Ningyu said in a calm tone.
When Gui Qu heard the three words "Bai Ningyu", his expression obviously softened a little.
This person is a big customer of the underworld. All the ghosts in the underworld have heard about her deeds. The superiors have also instructed that they should not be rude to Miss Bai. It is likely that Miss Bai’s words are unlikely to be wrong.
Thinking of this, Gui Qu pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists towards Bai Ningyu and said, "So you are Miss Bai. My apologies. How about I take her soul to the underworld first? If there is any injustice, the King of Hell will make the decision."
When Ming Ran heard that the ghost messenger was going to take her to the underworld, she burst into tears, holding her head and wailing, "No, host, I don't want to go to the underworld. I won't go. It's obviously not me who should die."
Bai Ningyu nodded and consoled him, "Okay, then we won't go to the underworld. So, I'll trouble you two and Mingran to go to the Central Hospital. The truth will be revealed then."
Seeing that Guiqu was still hesitating, Laixi nudged him with her elbow and said, "Let's just go there. It won't take much time.
If it is really as Miss Bai said, we must report it to our superiors and punish the guy who took the life!"
Guiqu sighed secretly, a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes, and finally he nodded.
Bai Ningyu immediately added, "Don't worry, my lord. I will write a letter and submit it to the underworld to explain the matter clearly. I will not implicate you two lords."
Gui Qu heard this and his worries were finally relieved. "Thank you very much, Miss Bai. However, we dare not call you sir. You can just call us by our names."
As he spoke, Bai Ningyu picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to write.
A moment later, Bai Ningyu put a talisman on the written letter, and then pinched the magic formula. The letter suddenly floated in the air and then began to burn.
In the underworld.
The burning letter fell on the desk of the Emperor of the Underworld, but there was no one in the huge palace.
Suddenly, the door of the hall was pushed open.
The man searched the palace for a while, then angrily flicked his sleeves, obviously not finding what he was looking for.
At this moment, the man's eyes fell on the letter on the table.
After reading the letter, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a hint of ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he picked up the letter and disappeared silently...
Upon hearing this, Ming Ran wiped away her tears, put on her coat, and prepared to go out with the two ghost officials.
However, as soon as they reached the door, the smell of burning incense and candles wafted into their noses.
Ming Ran was shocked, because she remembered that Bai Ningyu once said that in order to borrow his life, the old man would burn incense and candles outside the door at midnight to bid farewell to his own life.
Ming Ran quickly checked her phone, and the time showed that it was already past midnight.
Her scalp suddenly felt tingling. Could that old man be outside the door right now?
Thinking of this, Ming Ran slowly put her eyes on the cat's eyes.
However, looking through the peephole, it was pitch black outside. She breathed a sigh of relief and put her hand on the door handle.
But just as Ming Ran was about to open the door, the door lock was turned by someone.
Ming Ran was shocked, and before she could react, she saw the door being opened.
What appeared before her was an old figure. Their eyes met, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
[Oh my god, I was scared to death.]
[Could this old man be the one who stole Ming Ran's life?]
【What does he want to do here in the middle of the night? 】
[Is he trying to see if Ming Ran is dead or not? ]
[Oh no! If that's the case, then Ming Ran is in danger.]
[Calm down, we still have two ghost messengers and the host~]
When Ming Ran saw the old man in front of her, she took two steps back cautiously.
Not far from the door, a small amount of white ash from something burning could be seen with the naked eye.
Seeing this, Ming Ran's heart started beating wildly. It seemed that what the host said was right. He was obviously burning incense outside the house. The person who wanted to harm him was the old man in front of him!
The old man's eyes were filled with sinister intent, and murderous intent was clearly revealed in his eyes.
The old man clenched his fists, his voice becoming extremely gloomy: "Why are you..."
However, his voice stopped abruptly at this point, and he asked in a stiff and angry tone, "Xiao Ming, are you adapting to the work? Are you tired? Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?"
Ming Ran did not answer the old man, but asked: "What's the matter with you coming here so late at night?"
The old man's eyes darkened and there was silence all around, as if the air had solidified.
After a few seconds, the old man spoke slowly, his tone softened, and pretended nothing had happened, saying, "I came to get something. I was afraid you were asleep, so I didn't knock."
Still unwilling to give up, he tentatively asked, "Xiao Ming, when is your birthday? Is it coming soon? I'll give you a day off then."
Ming Ran heard this and said calmly, "You forgot, you said at the time that my birthday is the same day as your son's."
Hearing Ming Ran say this, the old man frowned and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. He had clearly followed that method, so why was this girl in front of him still alive!
However, my son's health has indeed recovered a lot recently. It seems that something went wrong in some step. Anyway, we should stabilize this girl first.
Thinking of this, the old man said a few more words of advice, turned around and left.
[This old man said he came back to get something, but now he left without even entering the house. He was obviously lying!
I think his purpose is to come and see if Ming Ran was killed by him!
[That's right, didn't you see how shocked he was when he walked in and saw Mingran was still alive?]
After seeing the old man leave, Ming Ran slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But only she herself knew that the confrontation just now had already frightened her to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
Ming Ran secretly rejoiced in her heart that she had drawn the host's lucky bag, otherwise, she would have become a corpse now.
"Mingran, after arriving at the hospital, find his son's ward and take the purse he placed under his pillow." Bai Ningyu instructed Mingran.
Upon hearing this, Ming Ran did not dare to delay and immediately stopped a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
The ward was silent. A nurse was sitting on a chair at the nurses' station, dozing off with her head propped up by her hands.
Under Bai Ningyu's guidance, Ming Ran quickly found the ward of the old man's son.
Through the glass on the door, Ming Ran saw that there was only one person lying on the bed in the ward, who seemed to be fast asleep. There was no sign of the old man around, and it seemed that he had not returned yet.
Ming Ran slowed down her breathing, gently opened the door, and tiptoed in.
Two ghost officials followed closely behind.
The man on the hospital bed was extremely thin and looked severely ill.
Ming Ran carefully moved to the man's bed and gently reached under his pillow to feel around.
Sure enough, she found a purse-shaped cloth bag under the pillow.
Ming Ran was delighted and slowly pulled out her purse.
The man who was sleeping lightly on the bed seemed to be disturbed by the slight movement. He groaned a few times through his nose and showed signs of waking up.
Ming Ran was suddenly shocked, and her heartbeat in her chest was like a drum, thumping.
She immediately squatted down and shrank under the bed.
However, the person on the bed began to breathe steadily again and did not wake up. Ming Ran patted his chest and prepared to get out.
But at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
