Volume 1 Chapter 23: No Way Back
Xuan Linlin also said that after they both died and registered with the management office, Yaxue disappeared and they have not seen each other since. Every time she goes back home during the Ghost Festival, she wants to visit Yaxue's home, but the Feng Shui arrangement inside is so strict that she cannot get in.
In order to verify the truth of this story, I ran back to the management office and asked the female ghost to help me check the registration book from three years ago. Sure enough, Yaxue's name was there, and the cause of death was drowning!
My head exploded instantly. Yaxue was really dead!
I came out of the management office in a daze, not even bothering to say goodbye to Xuan Linlin. I walked straight out of the ghost street and came to the boundary river. I sat down and stared at the river, wondering what was going on. Three years ago, her parents strongly opposed our relationship. If I stayed in the provincial capital, there might be some hope. If I stayed in the countryside, Yaxue had to face reality and had to break up with me. I knew she was also very sad, but why did she choose to commit suicide?
She was dead, so why wasn't the one I saw at the train station a ghost? Could it be that someone else had brought her back? Impossible. If the dead were to come back to life, the registration book would have to be written off. Her name being recorded in the book meant that she was still a ghost!
Could it be that she is raising a corpse alive? !
Thinking of this, I jumped up in shock. I had actually thought of this answer the moment Xuan Linlin said that Yaxue was dead, but I just didn't dare to admit it. However, the cruel truth cannot be avoided.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Bing grabbed my hand and asked nervously.
I forgot that this girl had been following me. I shook my head in pain and sat down again. I closed my eyes and recalled the scene of meeting Yaxue at the train station. She appeared in the crowd in front of me, far away from me, but after she disappeared, I looked down and raised my head for only two seconds, and she suddenly appeared in front of me. Not to mention an ordinary girl, even a special forces soldier would not have this speed. I believe it, she is a living corpse!
And her crying words, "It would have been great if you had chased me back three years ago and apologized like this," proved that she was dead, but I didn't hear it.
Si Sanba and Yaxue were both zombies, and they must have been created by the same magician. Why did Si Sanba burn her to death? What was going on between them? Who turned her into a zombie?
After becoming a zombie, the soul will be imprisoned and will not even have the chance to reincarnate. The final outcome will be the body dying and the soul being scattered.
Damn it, I must find out which bastard raised this corpse. I want him to become a living corpse. Every day I will use the ten tortures on him and make his life a living hell!
When I opened my eyes, I saw Shen Bing pouting with a worried look on her face. I forced a smile and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's one o'clock."
I was startled. It had been almost two hours since I came here. I didn't know if the candle had burned out. I quickly got up and grabbed Shen Bing and ran across the river.
After crossing the river, the stone road disappeared and it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything. I thought to myself, oh no, I could see the road when I came here because the resurrection lamp was on, but now the lamp is off and I can't see anything, I don't know how to go back.
I sat on the ground dejectedly. We were doomed. It looked like we had to go back and find that ghost couple to register.
Shen Bing asked me: "Why don't you leave?"
"I can't go back. The resurrection lamp is out!" I answered lazily.
"Ah, so you're saying we have to go back to the management office?"
"If we don't go back to register, we'll just be a pair of wandering ghosts, doing whatever evil we can, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and just being a casual couple." I was so discouraged that I didn't even know what I was saying.
"Bah, bah, bah, what a fleeting couple! It's wishful thinking. If you save me, I might marry you. If you fail, and waste a great opportunity, you can just wait to be my servant in the future." Shen Bing wrinkled her nose at me, as cute as a kitten.
I slapped my forehead and said, "I will think of another way because you will pledge your love to me."
She blinked and asked, "Did I say that?" She immediately covered her mouth and muttered, "You always keep your mouth shut. Next time I'll tape your mouth shut."
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a solution. This is not like being in the world of the living, where I am like a fish in water. In the underworld, I am just an ordinary ghost, nothing special.
"Have you thought of a solution?" After waiting for a while, she couldn't wait any longer and started to urge me.
I lay back and said, "Is the solution so easy to come up with? Besides, it's all your fault. You didn't go to the inn, so I met someone I knew on the street, which wasted a lot of time."
"I didn't go to the inn because I thought you would follow me, so I was waiting for you outside the management office." Oh, this girl thought that I would definitely not be able to escape the clutches of that bitch. Although she was a little clever, she really made me come here, but in the end I can't go back.
I couldn't think of any ideas, and I couldn't help but think of Yaxue, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.
"That Yaxue you are talking about is your girlfriend, right?" Shen Bing asked me while lying on the ground.
I nodded, and Shen Bing asked again if the house that caught fire last night was hers? I nodded again, and Shen Bing said that I was unlucky , Yaxue's father was a high-ranking official at the department head level, if she hadn't died, wouldn't I have been promoted? I was stunned, I really didn't know that her father was a department head.
The director is a big shot, and you can tell from the mansion. If he is not a big shot, how can he afford to live in that house? Suddenly, I vaguely caught a glimpse of something. It was a rose! The flower-crazy corpse-raising girl once told me that if I wanted to do that with her, I should paint a rose on the door of the shop. Yaxue's family has a garden of roses, and Yaxue is a corpse-raising girl. This can't be a coincidence, right?
I sat up suddenly. Was he trying to destroy some evidence by burning down the house?
Shen Bing sat up and scratched his head and said, "You really have epilepsy, don't you? You're so jumpy."
"Is this what epilepsy is like in your family?" I said with my eyes wide open.
"Your home, your home, your home..."
Wow, a repeater! I shrank back in fear and quickly raised my hands in surrender. A man will never get the upper hand in a quarrel with a girl, especially one like her who is so persistent.
Just when I was at a loss, thinking about whether to be a wandering ghost or report back to the management office, Ermao came. When he saw me, he burst into tears and said, "Xia Mi, you can't go back. Two people just came and accidentally blew out the candle."
As soon as he described the appearance of the two people, we knew that it was Long Shaohui and Yan Xiang who came back. Because the building on the ground was burned down, the basement hole was finally exposed, and they found a way to get in. Yan Xiang got rid of the pregnant female ghost and dragged out the bloody egg corpse, which scared Le Wei half to death. He turned around and tried to run, but kicked a few candles away. This kid was really insidious. Seeing that he had caused trouble, he simply went all out and killed all the remaining candles.
Ermao came to settle accounts with him, but Prime Minister Yan did not tell right from wrong and just took away all the ghosts he saw. Ermao was so scared that he got into the small white flag and flew out of the old house. He walked around outside for a few circles before he dared to find an entrance to the underworld and come in.
