Chapter 233: 233 one, two, three, four, five, five hundred New Years

233 one, two, three, four, five, five hundred New Years

Tushan Jiu and the three of them went back to cancel the homestay, and that same day they left Cherish City.

Because Xiang Yichu's sleep this time is going to last ten days and a half month, his body needs to recover on its own.

As for after he wakes up, what is his choice?

They believe that he already had the answer and decision when he was struggling against his inner demon.

The phrase Tushan Jiu said, 'See you in Nan Cheng,' is also a kind of veiled prophecy.

After returning to Nan Cheng, Xie Shiyu was already waiting at the airport.

He had a meal with Wang Dongqing and Maomao, and then each went home.

Everyone still has their own things to attend to.

The funeral home has been urging Maomao to hurry back to work; these past few days there have been quite a few deaths.

Wang Dongqing's platform manager also urged him; when he was in Lingling Town, he got a phone call every day.

As for Tushan Jiu.

She went to the company together with Xie Shiyu, and after he finished work, the two went on a date.

This year's Underworld exam has already entered the final sprint stage.

Because there are still people who share the same idea as Tushan Jiu.

Sharpening the spear before battle may not be quick, but it's not useless; there are exactly six months left until lunar July 15.

Every year at this time, the wandering souls and wild ghosts on the road dare not show themselves, for fear of being chased all over the street.

In the deep of night, in places with few people and heavy yin energy, one can see people wandering about.

Exactly, they are people, not ghosts, because these people are here to catch ghosts.

But not every ghost caught counts as points; that kind of wandering soul and wild ghost only counts as 0.1 point each.

Maomao and Wang Dongqing are also taking this year's exam, because they are both older than Tushan Jiu, and this year they happen to be twenty-two years old.

She also curiously asked Maomao why they, although they can take the exam this year, still have to participate in the Underworld Rift assessment, after all the reward of that assessment is an opportunity for those under twenty-two who want to take the exam early.

As a result, the two gave her a unified reply: to accumulate points, the ghosts that come out of the Underworld Rift, when they catch them, they get points; if they happen to get first place, they wouldn't need to look at points and could directly take the exam.

Moreover, if they don't get first place, they also need to strive to stay stably within the top thirty, otherwise they won't be able to take this year's exam.

Because the new regulation for the Underworld civil service exam is not to take the top thirty nationwide, so naturally they have to compete and scramble.

Fortunately, in the current overall ranking, Xiang Yichu steadily holds first place, Maomao steadily holds second place, and Wang Dongqing ranks fifth.

As for Tushan Jiu, she ranks eighth.

Actually, Wang Dongqing originally ranked seventh, because before the year, they had a difference of only 0.5 points.

But later, Wang Dongqing, in order to boost his score, caught many ghosts, gaining several points, while she only had that ghost brought back from Yicheng.

That ghost, because it is not a fierce ghost but has resentment, counts as one point.

She now has 101 points, and she is still the youngest with the least points among the four of them.

But who is Tushan Jiu? Before, when there was no quota for early exams, she could 'find leisure in busyness' to control points; now that she has this special privilege, she can just lie flat.

With that time, she and Xie Shiyu could together arrange some wedding matters, right? At least she would have a sense of participation.

Thus Xie Shiyu assigned her a task.

Selecting the style and type of wedding candy.

She loves sweets, likes eating candy; she and Xie Shiyu guarantee that this task will be satisfactorily completed.

But sometimes, the less she wants to do something, the more things come looking for her.

But this time is different from before; this ghost came looking for her on its own.

Of course, she couldn't enter the Xie family's home, so she could only squat outside a li away from Tushan Jiu.

Moreover, Tushan Jiu knows this ghost, and is quite familiar with it.

This ghost is none other than Chi Siniang from the hill of Lotus Flower Village.

Moreover, when she appeared, the blood-slaying aura on her body had already surpassed that of a fierce ghost.

Tushan Jiu was stunned for a while at that time.

She reached out to do finger calculations, but was stopped by Chi Siniang speaking out.

"Little Jiu, no need to calculate, just listen to me; I, I am basically liberated."

Tushan Jiu said firmly.

"Mm, I'm back, I couldn't hold back and killed them all, not leaving a single one."

Tushan Jiu remained silent, saying nothing.

"I've come all this way to bring you heads, why are you still listless?"

"All right, all right, your prophecy has come true; say what your reward is, I'll repay the debt."

"The reward is all of your ghostly power."

"Alright, am I leaving at an internal price?"

The emotion was just a momentary thing; at least she felt relieved and refreshed. For all these years she didn't want to go to the Underworld, wasn't it because that resentment hadn't dissipated? Her obsession was to kill that family of three.

Now she has finally gotten what she waited for, and her wish has been fulfilled.

"I've been drifting for so long, I'm tired too, Little Jiu, please collect me, let me rest a while."

Tushan Jiu nodded, flipped her hand to take out a talisman, and collected Chi Siniang into it.

After returning to the old residence, her mood was obviously not good.

After all, they were the ones who watched her grow up; this is different from her family's passing.

She obviously knows that her family can be seen anytime, anywhere, whereas Chi Siniang is different; she is very likely to receive a punishment of several hundred years for killing those three people.

Thinking that this knife was still the one she had lent her when she was three years old makes her feel a bit depressed; that knife was the first one she had lent out, and at that time she herself didn't understand what it meant, she just spoke bluntly according to her own calculation.

Recalling the past, Chi Siniang held her scissors, listening to her, who could not finish her words, she made a prophecy.

At that time she furrowed her brows, like a little adult, shaking her head as she prophesied: "Fourth Lady will kill people, kill three people, then become a stinking ghost, that is, a ghost with a stinky smell, then go to a place full of flames, and stay...... one, two, three, four, five, five hundred New Years."

Only later did she understand why Chi Siniang did not go to her grandfather and them to borrow a knife for her.

Because if it were them, they might choose not to lend her a knife.

Then she could choose to go cleanly to the Underworld to be reborn.

But she deliberately sought out the young her, and from her mouth learned that those three would still return here.

She is an earthbound spirit, and her corpse still lies under that tree on the mountainside of Hou Shan.

So she waits here, from when she was three years old until she is twenty this year.

Seventeen years.

Later, after she grew up, in fact she could completely refuse the reward for that knife, expose the crimes of that family of three, and bring them to justice.

But in the end she chose instead to respect Chi Siniang's wishes.

Because Chi Siniang said, she does not resolve her hatred, she would rather suffer eternal damnation than not take revenge with her own hands!
