Volume 2 Chapter 17: Looting a Bank
Hei Wuchang 's words were clearly a warning to me. I should go and register with them obediently, otherwise they would definitely turn against me.
Shen Bing looked confused. She didn't know what the consequences would be after registering, and thought she could still go back. Alas, poor girl, you are unlucky to come to our house for the New Year this time. I have ruined you!
It was impossible not to follow the Black and White Impermanence. These two guys had absolute authority in the underworld. They took orders from the Judge, who was directly under the leadership of the "Chief Executive". If the Judge stomped his feet in the underworld, it would probably cause a small earthquake. No matter where , we could not escape the clutches of these two guys!
I didn't say anything so as not to make Shen Bing worry. I nodded and took Shen Bing with me and followed them to the management office.
Ma Dawen was still chasing after him, shouting, "Brother, once you register, who can I turn to if I have any problems in the future?"
The Black and White Impermanence turned around and glared at him, scaring the guy so much that he immediately turned around and ran into the tavern to hide.
After registration, the male registrar looked at me with pity, probably wanting to get another Yin-boosting pill from me, but after all I came here, what did I get? The Black and White Impermanence brothers patted my shoulders to comfort me and left. I walked out of the management office with Shen Bing in a heavy heart, looking at the scene on the street, I really wanted to cry.
She asked me why I was unhappy. After I told her the truth, she wilted like an eggplant hit by frost! She walked side by side with me on the street without saying a word. Neither of us knew what to do, whether to reincarnate or stay in the underworld and wait for the opportunity to come. However, the chance of waiting for someone outside to pick us up was really slim, almost zero!
I thought this was very strange. First, the Black and White Impermanence said we were not dead, and then we were ordered to die. What was this old man up to? And the fact that Ding Ruiyun suddenly got reincarnated seemed to have a lot to do with our registration. Damn it, even if I was given a chance to reincarnate, I would not go. I had to figure out what was going on!
Just as I was thinking this, a voice suddenly rang out from the other side: "There is an order from above to let the two of you go and reincarnate. Come with me!"
It was the male ghost who had just informed Ding Ruiyun. I thought to myself, can’t you just change your lines? It’s so lame. Do you think I’m like those poor ghosts, crazy about wanting to reincarnate?
Shen Bing tugged at me and shook her head, she didn't want to be reincarnated. I winked at her, indicating that I understood, then smiled and said, "Okay, officer, wait a moment, we'll go to the bathroom and come back." Then I grabbed Shen Bing and ran forward . After registering, I found that we could float, and the speed was quite fast, which was beyond my expectation.
"Come back..." The ghost saw my intention, shouted loudly, and started chasing after me.
I looked back and saw that this guy was much faster than us and caught up with us in a few seconds. Shen Bing turned around anxiously and looked around, looking for something to throw behind him to stop him. The ghost street was empty, not a single hair was left. She saw the magic bottle in my hand and snatched it away to throw it back.
"What's wrong with you? This is our heirloom!" I tried my best to take it back, pulled her and suddenly stopped and dodged to the side.
The boy didn't expect us to stop, and was chasing us with all his might, but he couldn't stop and ran far ahead. I took the opportunity to pull Shen Bing and rushed through an alley between two houses , and ran to a street opposite. I saw a few ghosts wandering back and forth, which was more lively than the street just now.
I looked up and saw the money shop, then remembered the street I came to last time, and hurried into the money shop.
The boss who was wearing small glasses and looked rather wretched immediately shouted at us: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rob a bank?" Then he stood up from the counter, apparently wanting to chase us away.
Damn, they talk like people from the living world, a money house is no longer called a money house, it’s called a bank!
I ignored him and looked back outside the door. I saw the ghost officer standing on the street looking around. He didn't notice that we had entered the bank. Just as I was about to turn my head back, I suddenly saw a vicious look from the corner of my eye, staring at me, which made me shudder. I hurriedly looked over there and saw a ghost. It was Tan Qing!
It was really a bad year. It was like a house leaking and it rained all night. It was really bad luck to meet an "enemy" at this critical moment. I glared at him and turned around and said to the boss: "I was sent by the Chief Executive to check your bank's accounts and find out how much money was embezzled."
"ID!" The boss restrained his momentum for a moment, but still stretched out his shriveled claws in disbelief.
"A special envoy sent by the Chief Executive, with credentials..."
Just as he said this, he heard Tan Qing shouting outside: "Officer, the person you are looking for is in the bank."
In a hurry, I reached out and pushed Boss Bu to the ground, "Fuck you." I cursed him, pulled Shen Bing into the counter, lifted a curtain and went into the inner room.
"Someone is robbing the bank, someone is robbing the bank..." The boss was shouting outside at a shocking speed, and then a bell rang, ringing very urgently. I guess it was the alarm bell.
The inner room is quite large and filled with things. It looks like a warehouse. Bundles of paper money for the dead are piled on the ground, as well as gold and silver ingots and daily necessities. These must have been burned and sent by the relatives of the deceased. Some may be waiting to be claimed, while some are ownerless and have been taken away by the boss. I'm afraid Ding Ruiyun's share is among them.
"Why did you break into the money house? Don't you think it's trouble enough?" Shen Bing complained to me loudly.
I put the Dharma bottle on my waist and said, "I'm a fugitive now. How can I survive without money?" I rushed to the front and grabbed the gold ingots to fill my pockets. I also picked up a bundle of paper money for the dead. I saw that there were at least tens of trillions.
At this time, I heard noisy footsteps outside. There must be a large number of ghost officials rushing over. I looked up and saw a small window on the left wall. Fortunately, after we become ghosts, our bodies can shrink at will. I threw the ghost money into Shen Bing's arms and pulled her up.
With a "bang", he was hit hard on the forehead by an invisible force, and immediately fell back to the ground, almost fainting. This is the bank's vault, and the four walls must have anti-theft measures, otherwise, wouldn't those poor ghosts have stolen everything long ago? What should I do, a ghost has already lifted the door curtain and come in.
"We can't run away!" Shen Bing said anxiously.
Can't run away? My mind was surprisingly calm at this time. I thought to myself that money makes the devil work harder. This is an eternal truth. I bent down and picked up a pile of gold and silver ingots, and threw them at the ghosts. Golden and silver things, whether it is a human or a ghost, who doesn't dream of them? What's more, the boring life in the underworld makes the desire for money and women stronger than in the world of the living!
The ghost officials were hit by the gold ingots, but they were not angry at all. They were stunned for a moment. I took the opportunity to shout, "Whoever picks it up owns it. These are all ill-gotten gains stolen by the boss!"
Greed immediately flashed in their eyes. Their salaries in the underworld were not high, and when they heard that this was ill-gotten gains, all they saw was money. No one thought about whether it was real or not. One of the ghosts screamed, and then they all rushed forward. The situation got out of control, and they all started grabbing the gold ingots on the ground!
I proudly raised my head towards Shen Bing, then grabbed her hand, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd of ghosts, and ran out the door.
