Chapter 1901: Living with the Ghost Mister: Odds and Ends 17

The next morning, Xia Tan sneaked out, but Jin Chen pressed her down and kissed her repeatedly without her struggling; she was even more obedient than before.

What are you going to do today, with whom, and when will you come back?

Jin Chen asked as usual while kissing.

Xia Tan suppressed her nervousness, "I'm going to see Lian Min to discuss developments after leaving the news agency… afternoon, uh… I'll be back this afternoon."

Jin Chen gave her a final peck, tugged at Xia Tan's face, "Come back early."

Coincidentally, he also wanted to seek out the so-called other ghost king.

Then give him a fierce beating.

Half an hour later, a private room in a concealed club.

Officer Cui, Lian Min, and Xia Tan were all drawn to the glowing Master Bao.

He sat cross-legged on the Carpet, with the blood-stained tools he had found at Jin Bing's house that day placed beside him, and as the incantation sped up, they displayed varying shades of color.

Not long after, Master Bao opened his solemn eyes and wiped away the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Master Bao, how is it?

Officer Cui helped him up and hurriedly asked, "Do you know what this actually is?"

Even the Strange Investigation Department, well-informed as it is, could not trace the source of these things, let alone investigate their purpose.

They could only hope for gifted individuals.

Master Bao gestured with his hand to indicate it was fine, and said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, I didn't missee it in that photo that day."

This is the essential item for the Inverting Yin-Yang Array; it probably comes from some ghost-catching clan.

He picked up a short stick, Distorted like a snake, about half an arm's length, "This isn't a stick, it's a nail."

With a shovel dig out a burial pit, insert the Inverting Yin-Yang Flags around it, then use these nails to pin them into a person's bones and heart; combined with the incantation, one can forcibly turn a person into a vicious ghost.

Unlike ordinary flags, the runes on these have been altered, making them more powerful… If the person using them doesn't die, they are probably at least a Ferocious Evil-grade vicious ghost now.

The three, who had never encountered such a thing, were stunned.

Lian Min sighed, "What grudge, what resentment, to actually turn a person into a ghost."

Lian Min turned back to find Xia Tan to talk, but saw his face had gone pale, not looking well.

Little Tan, what's wrong with you today?

Xia Tan touched his chest, frowned, and said, "I don't know."

After hearing Master Bao's words, he continually felt a stifling heaviness in his heart, as if he had been struck several times by a muffled hammer.

Officer Cui recorded Master Bao's explanation and promptly synchronized it with his colleagues at the Strange Investigation Department.

There are still issues with this case later on; we'll have to trouble Master Bao for answers then.

Officer Cui had other matters, so after bidding farewell to the two, he hurried away.

Xia Tan visibly grew more nervous, and with Lian Min's accompaniment, told Master Bao about the ghost encounter.

Rather than expulsion, Xia Tan hoped to hear assurance.

Assure that Jin Chen won't become more ferocious, and assure that they can continue living peacefully as they are.

——

Even with a Hanged Ghost giving prior assurance, the other two ghosts that rushed to the chat group today were still frightened badly.

Simply put, the Ghost King is too terrifying.

The Lust Ghost and the Hungry Ghost dare not look directly into Jin Chen's eyes; no matter what they hear, they just keep nodding, which is always safe.

"Alright, you guys go quickly and come back quickly," Jin Chen said.

Hmm-hmm-hmm… huh?

The two ghosts looked at each other, then simultaneously turned to Jin Chen, "Great… Great King, where are we going?"

The Hanged Ghost hung upside down, head swaying, "Great King said that Red Ghost King might be not far ahead. You go act as bait to lure him over."

What? Bait! Us? For another ghost king?

The two ghosts spoke in unison, simultaneously shocked.

Hanged Ghost: "…How come I don't usually see you two being so in sync?"

Playing exclusion, huh!

Lust Ghost: "No no no no… Great King! I only have lust, no guts; I definitely dare not be the bait."

Hungry Ghost: "Yeah, Great King! That Red Ghost King will tear us apart."

Jin Chen gave a low hum, "If you don't go, I'll tear you apart right now."

Whoosh.

The two ghosts flew, one faster than the other.

The Lust Ghost felt extreme regret.

How did I get lured by looks, letting the Great King sneak into the group!

I also don't know what disgusting lure methods the two ghosts used to complete the task.

Not long after, Jin Chen heard a sharp whistle; that red mist cluster, furious and tattered, came tearing forth, and the two ghosts running ahead rolled sideways together.

Jin Chen knew how fast this ghost could run; as soon as it approached, he set up a barrier, making it impossible to escape no matter how it collided.

Don't waste your energy, come down and let's talk.

Jin Chen stood in place, watching the red mist cluster constantly ram back and forth, and advised:

You damn bastard!!

From the red mist cluster emerged a ferocious ghost face, opening a bloody maw, swooping down and slamming into Jin Chen.

Fierce ghost battling ghost, resentment overflowing.

The three little ghosts turned into radish heads, crouched in the dirt pit, peeking to watch the battle, afraid of being harmed by any big shot's resentment, and thus vanished in smoke.

"Who do you guys think will win?" the hanged ghost asked.

The lecherous ghost only now dared to openly stare at Jin Chen, drool almost dripping, "I guess the Great King."

The hungry ghost stuffed a clump of mud in his mouth and chewed, "I'm so hungry, following the boss, can we get full?"

Fortunately, this ghost‑vs‑ghost battle had no suspense.

Jin Chen quickly realized that this red mist was not the ghost king's true form but an overflowing clone, and he struck even more ruthlessly.

The red mist obviously knew him, and faced with Jin Chen's now vast, almost inexhaustible ghostly power, it showed extraordinary fear, "Impossible! How did you become so strong?"

Jin Chen gripped that ghostly face, his pure black pupils holding ice, "Who am I."

"Hahaha…hahahahaha!"

"Jin Chen! The heaven‑chosen prodigy of the Jin Family line! No matter how strong you are, you've still fallen to the lowest of ghosts!"

The red mist was about to dissipate, then suddenly grabbed Jin Chen's wrist again, and in a low, eerie voice gave an address some distance from this city.

"Hurry back……hahahahaha! You want revenge, don't you? I'm really looking forward to seeing the Jin Family's reaction to you like this!"

"I'll wait for you to come back, I'll wait for you to come back!"

"Pfft!"

A puff of red smoke burned, Jin Chen's hand gripping the throat fell empty, he released his grip and stood up.

【Zero Egg, is there a problem with this location?】

【No no no! Host, please go ahead boldly!】

Looks like I still need to leave for a few days.

Jin Chen was a bit worried about how to explain to the little bee.
