Chapter Twenty-Three: A Chinese Girl Loses Her Soul

"Disappeared? Are you saying you've been abducted?"

Hearing Ji Xuelan say this, Fan Tianjiu suddenly asked in surprise.

"Arashi wasn't abducted...... If she was just kidnapped, she would definitely be able to find her out with the supernatural powers of these teachers in our Impermanent Ghost School.

And the disappearance of Arashi belongs to the kind of complete disappearance that can't even search for breath, as if there has never been such a person in the world......"

Speaking of this, Zi Youyi turned her head to look at Ji Xuelan beside the bed, and said distressedly:

β€œ...... When I heard about the tragedy, I immediately led the team back to the school, only to find that in addition to the corpses everywhere at the scene, there were only the brigade committee members who had their legs cut off and Jing Feng who was dying.

And the god puppet Lei Shiheng and the pair of Qiankun magic sticks are gone.

What's even more terrifying is that Arashiko's whole person has disappeared!

Later, the brigade and I sent people to search for the three worlds of people, gods and underworlds with Xingluo, but we couldn't find a trace of Lanzi's breath.

In the end, there was really no way, we had to think that Arashiko's soul was scattered by the Qiankun Divine Stick, so we couldn't find her breath, and we even held a funeral for Arashi next to the Requiem.

Unexpectedly, half a year later, Lanzi actually appeared in front of the school's ghost gate, and there was still this Zhenkun God Mourning Stick by her side.

It's just that after Lanzi woke up, she couldn't remember where she had gone and what had happened in the past six months......"

"Oh...... I see, but Teacher Yuyi, Teacher Xiaojuan, wouldn't she be able to concoct some magical healing elixirs?

Spian asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, Zi Youyi shook his head and said:

"Xiao Juan, Captain Mu, and Guigu Gong were all transferred from other impermanent ghost schools in order to supplement the school's lost teachers after the tragedy, and when Lanzi came back, they hadn't come to this impermanent ghost school.

But then we asked Xiaojuan to help try to treat Lanzi.

Xiaojuan said that Lanzi's amnesia was because he was injured by the Qiankun Divine Rod, which belonged to the 'Divine Death', which was not easy to treat, and the best way was to take some pills to replenish qi and strengthen the soul, and slowly recuperate.

And according to what I just checked, Arashiko's three souls and seven spirits are still missing a few fragments, so it is almost impossible for Arashiko to recover her memories until she retrieves those fragments. ”

"Sister Yuyi, don't worry, I'm fine......"

Ji Xuelan smiled and comforted Zi Youyi, then looked at Fan Tianjiu and said softly:

β€œ...... Although they all said that I had been missing for half a year, in my memory, I only fainted for one night, and ......"

Speaking of this, I saw Ji Xuelan frowning and wondering:

β€œ...... And the moment the female ghost in the box burned in front of me yesterday, I felt something suddenly jump into my mind, but I couldn't remember it vaguely. ”

"Well, Lanzi, I speculate that the female ghost you saw yesterday was probably made of one of your soul fragments, and it spontaneously combusted, and the soul fragments naturally returned to your three souls and seven spirits, so you felt something remembered. ”

Zi Youyi thought for a moment and guessed.

"Soul fragments? So the dog-headed red ghost who wanted to smuggle it into Huangquan turned out to be a piece of Sister Lan's soul?!Why?!"

Si Bi'an was shocked when he heard this.

"Well, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon ......"

Fan Tianjiu hugged his arms and pondered for a moment, then looked at Ji Xuelan and smiled slightly:

β€œ...... Don't worry, Sister Lan, leave this matter to us, our brothers will definitely ......"

"Tick, tick, tick......"

Before Fan Tianjiu finished speaking, he heard the netherworld contact machine on Zi Youyi's waist ring.

Zi Youyi made a silent gesture to everyone, then stood up and put the contact device to his ear.

"Hey, I'm Purple Clothes...... Oh, it's the Brigade Committee, what's the matter with you?

...... Okay, okay, I know, I'll tell them. ”

Zi Youyi closed the contact, turned his head to Ji Xuelan and Fan Si and said:

"Arashiko...... And you two stinky boys, the team committee asked the three of you to go with him tomorrow night to Zhihui Cliff to greet a distinguished guest. ”

"VIP, Sister Youyi, what kind of VIP?"

Ji Xuelan asked when she heard this.

"The brigade committee didn't elaborate, but it was a senior official from the Hades Law Society, who was in charge of serious case investigations, and he came all the way from the city of vain death to learn from you about the dog-headed ghost......

Purple Youyi replied when she heard this.

"The big official sent down from above? Oh~ Can I not see it? As soon as I saw the official, my legs were circled......

Fan Tianjiu said impatiently when he heard this.

"How can this be! The Underworld Society is the agency that oversees our black and white impermanence! If we neglect the officials they have appointed to investigate the case, then the Underworld will throw away a pair of small shoes, will you two wear them or will we wear them?

Okay! It's not early! Let Lanzi rest early, you two boys will go to sleep in the house for me! Tomorrow morning, I will go to meet that senior official of the Underworld Law Society, let's go, let's go!"

After speaking, Zi Youyi picked up Fan Si and the others and pushed them out of the house.

"Wait, wait, I have one more thing to say......"

Fan Tianjiu shook off Zi Youyi's hand, turned to Ji Xuelan and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, Sister Lan, I, Fan Tianjiu, swear to the sky that I will help you recover all the soul fragments, regardless of the gods and demons, as long as he dares to touch your hair, I will ask him for a leg!"

Ji Xuelan was stunned when she heard this, looked up at Fan Tianjiu's sincere eyes, and then raised a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, and nodded:

"Well, I'm sure you ......"

"Alright, alright, what kind of hero are you a rookie! We are all here, and we still need you?! Alright, let's go back!

After speaking, Zi Youyi pushed Fan Si and the others out of Ji Xuelan's bedroom......

..................

The next night, the bright moon shone on Zhihuiya, reflecting four figures of different heights.

Ji Xuelan, Fan Tianjiu and Si Bi'an came to the Zhihui Cliff to wait with him for the arrival of the mysterious VIP according to the instructions of Yin Gang, the team committee.

"Brigade Committee, you said that we should welcome a distinguished guest from the Underworld Law Society here, who is this distinguished guest?

Looking at the surging and erupting yellow spring in the Lechuan River under the cliff, Ji Xuelan opened her mouth and asked Yin Gang beside her.

"The guest of honor who is coming soon is the director of the Department of Punishment of the Evil Law Society, and his surname is Lai.

This director is here tonight to interrogate you and bring back that canine-headed daredevil ......"

Speaking of this, I saw Yin Gang frowning, and sighed at Ji Xuelan:

"Alas~ You don't know how hard that ghost dealer's mouth is, Guigu tried it for a day and a night, and after exhausting all means, it didn't say a word. If you can't get a confession, the case will not be easy to investigate.

I had no choice but to apply for support from the Yama Society, but out of nowhere, the news leaked out, and the Underworld Society suddenly came out of nowhere and intervened to interrogate an expert to help us try the case.

The authority of the Underworld Law Society is higher than ours, and we can't refuse even if we want to, so ......"

β€œ...... Therefore, we have no choice but to gather here to prepare for a grand welcome to the head of the Punishment Division......"

Ji Xuelan nodded understandingly, and then asked curiously:

β€œ...... However, the brigade committee, in order to interrogate a small ghost dealer, the Hades Law Society actually sent a big director to come in person to kill chickens with a knife, is this movement too big?"

"Alas...... Although the ghost dealer is small, the leader of the Blood River Gang standing behind it, Yin Yangzi, and the big-bellied immortal, the head of the ten murders, are affecting the nerves of all parties in the Netherworld, and the purpose of this trip tonight is not simple......"

Speaking of this, I only heard Yin Gang's voice sink and said in a low voice:

β€œ...... Recently, I have heard some news from the city of vain death, saying that the case of the 'Xudu terrorist attack' is too big for someone to take the blame.

Therefore, the first person responsible for that case, the old man in red, has submitted his resignation to Yudu, ready to take the blame and resign and reincarnate to return to the yang, and some of his subordinates have also been implicated and removed.

It is reported that the old Dharma King has already approved the resignation of the old Dharma King, and is also preparing to select one of the two directors of the Reward and Punishment Division under the jurisdiction of the Underworld Law Society to be promoted and appointed as the new red-clothed Dharma King of the Hades Law Society.

Therefore, the director who came to us this time condescended to come to us to interrogate the ghost dealer, and he also had the consideration of showing his ability to the Xudu side and striving for progress. ”

"Hehe, we caught the ghost dealer just the day before yesterday, and today this director came to grab the credit, it seems that he is determined to win the position of the red-clothed king......"

Ji Xuelan smiled sarcastically, and then asked Yin Gang:

β€œ...... But the team committee, that ghost dealer is very stubborn, even the ghost valley prince can't do anything about it, this director is so sure that he can make him speak?"

"Hehe, on this point, I think this director really has this ability......

Yin Gang smiled slightly when he heard this, and explained to Ji Xuelan:

β€œ...... As far as I know, this director was a terrifying and cool official during his lifetime, and countless people were tortured to death by him, because of his heinous crimes, so he was finally beheaded and abandoned to the city, and the three clans were exterminated.

And it is said that when he died, because the common people hated him to the bone, they took knives to rip off his flesh and eat it, so that he died without a whole body, and only a pair of white bones and skeletons were left on his body.

After his soul reaches the underworld, Yama will sentence him to the hell of the Sword Mountain, where he will be cut by a knife and an axe, and he will not be able to live forever.

But later, Yama would encounter several big cases, and the criminal ghosts were particularly stubborn, and the judge of the Yama Society spent a lot of effort on interrogation, but the confession just couldn't be taken.

Seeing that the deadline for solving the case was approaching, at this moment, the director of the department took the initiative to apply to the Yama Society, saying that he was willing to help the Yama Society interrogate the ghost criminals, get a confession, and redeem the crime.

At this time, after discussion, Yama felt that anyway, this director would stay in hell forever and be punished, and he could not be reincarnated, even if there was danger, it would not affect the yang world. So Yama decided to let him try.

The later results proved that the director was really very methodical, and those ghost criminals fell into his hands for less than half a day, and they were tortured and confessed one after another.

Since then, the inquisitors of the Yama Society have also eaten the marrow, and once they encounter any hard bones when handling cases, they will find this director to help.

In addition, this director was originally from the sea before his death, and he was proficient in those ways in officialdom, so he walked around and operated. After coming and going, he actually changed from a tortured ghost prisoner, jumped from the Yama Society to the Underworld Law Society, and became the head of the Punishment Division.

Alas...... That's why sometimes the circumstances of this life are really fickle......"

"Tsk, the brigade committee, listening to you say this, this director is really a ruthless man......!

"Wowβ€”β€”! give me my lifeβ€”β€”!"

"Ahβ€”β€”! it hurtsβ€”β€”!"

Just when Fan Tianjiu was amazed by the experience of this director, he only heard a terrible ghost crying cry suddenly from under the cliff.

Fan Tianjiu looked down when he heard the sound, and saw a large group of fierce ghosts who were crying out from the yellow spring.

I saw this group of powerful ghosts with blood and tears in their eyes, rushing out of the Yellow Spring like dark clouds, flying around and crying and screaming.

And in the dark clouds composed of a group of blood and tears, I saw a dark and rusty Rotten Bone Binding Soul Boat slowly rising from the Yellow Spring and appearing on the misty Lechuan River.

"Oh my mother, why are these ghosts crying so badly?!

Looking at the black wind ghosts flying in front of him, Fan Tianjiu asked dumbfounded.

"These are the people who were killed by the director before they died, and after their deaths, they will not go away, turn into ghosts, and curse him around him forever......"

Yin Gang looked at the powerful ghost in the sky and explained.

"Oh my God...... So many people have been killed?!What kind of person is the director?"

Looking at the crying ghosts in the sky, Ji Xuelan couldn't help but feel a chill on her face, and said in surprise.

"Hehe, this director is the ...... who was horribly called the 'Hell Punishment King' by the ghost prisoners of the Netherworld, the former Empress Wu Zetian of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and known as the first cool official of the ages."

Speaking of this, I saw Yin Gang look down at the ghost boat on the Lechuan River that was gradually approaching the shore, and lightly spit out three words:

β€œ...... Come to Junchen. ”
