Chapter 73.1
Chen Yu was afraid that the police would really send the old man to the crematorium, so after she repeatedly instructed the Uncle Police to leave the old mans corpse as is, she hurriedly hung up the phone and called Lou Ming next.
Third Brother, help, ah!
Chen Yu cried so mournfully last night that Lou Ming hardly slept all night. When he received a call from her this morning with such frightening three words, he was scared into jolting up from his chair: What happened?
Its not me. Its my grandpa. Chen Yu hurriedly relayed the old mans matter, and then pleaded, Im afraid the police will really do something to my grandpas body. Third Brother, can you find someone to pick my grandpa out of the police station for me first?
After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Lou Mings mood also changed from fear to speechlessness. Listening to Chen Yus soft pleading at the other end, Lou Ming agreed almost without thinking, Dont worry, Ill have someone pick up Elder Wu now, and send him to the capital by helicopter.
Thank you, Third Brother. Then Ill hang up now. Quickly find someone to pick him up, Chen Yu said and was about to end the call.
Wait a minute, Lou Ming shouted to stop her.
Third Brother? Chen Yu was puzzled.
D-Do you feel better? Lou Ming asked with concern.
Im much better. Ill be able to leave the hospital in a while, Chen Yu replied with a smile.
Great. Hearing the little girls familiar laughter, Lou Mings mood also improved some. Then say goodbye now. When we receive Elder Wu, I will contact you again.
Mhm!
Lou Ming hung up the phone, walked out of the study and instructed Cheng Peng to find someone to handle the matter.
Thus, twenty minutes later, a team of heavily armed soldiers entered the police station in a certain city. They transferred Elder Wu out of the cadaver bag into a stretcher, and then carefully carried him away under the puzzled scrutiny of the police and forensics.
Underworld, in a KTV.
Elder Wu spent the night in a mood fluctuating from anxiety to crazy despair. There was no helping it, ah. The Black and White Impermanence detained him and refused to let go all night long. His physical body must have been discovered by now.
What time is it? Black Impermanence drank a little too much.
Its dawn, Elder Wu, who was closely watching the passage of time, replied.
Wu Li ah, you have to start adapting. Black Impermanence pointed at Elder Wu and said, There is no day and night in hell, and that method of timing on earth doesnt work with us.
Youve had too much to drink. White Impermanence gave his partner a disgusted look.
Its all because of happiness, you know? This guy is finally dead, hahaha Black Impermanence pointed to Elder Wu and burst out laughing.
Elder Wu pursed his lips and restrained himself from losing his temper.
White Impermanence looked at Elder Wu with some sympathy and said, Lets go. Its time for you to register.
Elder Wu nodded helplessly on the surface, but in his heart, he secretly calculated his chances of escape from White Impermanence now that Black Impermanence was drunk.
While estimating, Elder Wu followed behind Black and White Impermanence as they headed outside the KTV. He, who was trying to find a suitable time to slip away, suddenly heard a radio broadcast.
Attention all ghosts. Attention all ghosts. A wanted notice is now issued. Yesterday, at three minutes past midnight, a Celestial Master impersonating Zhang Hu infiltrated the Underworld and injured a staff member of the Underworld registration office in full view of the public. He is now wanted by the whole Underworld government. This video shows his back that was captured on the registration hall security camera. If anyone sees a suspicious back or an unfamiliar living soul, please notify the nearest ghost messenger to apprehend him immediately.
Attention all ghosts. Attention all ghosts. A wanted notice is now issued. Yesterday
The radio broadcast aired three times in a row. Elder Wu accidentally glanced at the big screen, and his face instantly turned green:Ill be damned. The Underworld actually has surveillance, andWhen did I hurt the staff?
Someoneactually broke into the Underworld? Black Impermanence turned his head and gave Elder Wu a look, and then said, I cant believe theres someone as bold as you
You should look at the person up there first. White Impermanence instructed Black Impermanence to look at the big screen on the mall wall.
Hmm?? Black Impermanence turned his head to look at the big screen and recognized the wanted man at a glance, Isnt this Wu
Elder Wu didnt wait for Black Impermanence to finish speaking and scurried out with a whoosh.
White Impermanence had long been prepared. He hurled the soul hook chain in his hand without delay. Elder Wu flipped a few times in the air, and after dodging several attacks, he turned around and kicked the hook chain back.
It was just that Elder Wus camouflage cracked the moment he touched the soul hook chain.
Living soul!!!
Wow, theres a living soul here
His clothes are the same as the wanted man
Quickly, call the ghost messengers
Elder Wu hurled an expletive and woefully fled through the throngs of ghosts.
Wu Li, give me your life!!! A loud shout erupted, and then a huge ox head suddenly appeared over the River of Forgetfulness.
Brother Niu! Elder Wu was so scared when he saw the huge ox head in the sky and sprinted faster.
Boom! A large axe head smashed down from the air. Elder Wu rolled on the ground, scurrying into a residential building. Niu Touraised his axe, wanting to chop-chop again.
Lao Niu, if you split this building, all your wages for the next five hundred years will be deducted. Ma Mian promptly stopped him.
After hearing Ma Mians warning, Niu Tou was even more angered, but he no longer dared to smash the building. He could only search for Wu Lis position in the dense pile of ghosts with a pair of oxs eyes. Whenever he found a chance, he axed him down.
Niu Tou and Ma Mian, he still hasnt passed the River of Forgetfulness, yet youve already used your primordial spirit to hunt him down. What bloody revenge this is! After watching the commotion for a long time, Black Impermanence could not help but remark.
When Wu Li came to snatch someone back the last time, it seemed that Ma Mian and Niu Tou were the ones in charge of capturing his soul, White Impermanence reminded him.
And then on that expedition, we took first place.
They were punished with five hundred years of wages.
Black and white Impermanence exchanged glances. Both put away the soul chains in their hands, and turned back to the KTV where they had vacated less than two minutes ago. Well, they thought they could sing for another hour.
Elder Wu hugged his head and scurried, running to the Ghost Gate with all his might. Brother Niu, Brother Ma, I will burn joss paper for you every year
Ma Mian and Niu Tou werent at all pleased as they swung their axes.
I really had no choice last time, ah. I apologize, I apologize
First let me throw you into an oil pan and fry you 500 times
Stone meElder Wu swore that he had never been so embarrassed in his life
In a military helicopter flying to the capital, four heavily armed soldiers surrounded a stretcher. On the stretcher lay an old man with a ruddy complexion but not breathing.
Do you think this man is dead or not? A soldier couldnt help but ask curiously.
Dead, right? He isnt even breathing, another man replied.
Look at his complexion. Its better than all of us.
Why do you care so much? When we get to the capital later, hell be none of our business after the direct handover.
The four soldiers were chatting when a waaah suddenly sounded. The originally lying Elder Wu sat up in a swish.
Dont move! Almost instinctively, four machine guns pointed at Elder Wu unanimously.
Elder Wu raised his hands up once again.
Could it be that he managed to escape from the Underworld after all the hardships, only to be sent back again?
Niu Tou/Ox-Head and Ma Mian(Horse-Face)- the two guardians of the underworld in Chinese mythology.Both have the bodies of men, but Niu Tou has the head of an ox while Ma Mian has the face of a horse.
