The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Earth-bound Spirit

Watching Black Impermanence’s performance, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

She truly couldn’t understand what was wrong with Black Impermanence today, why such strange behavior!

However, she didn’t think too much about it and spoke directly, “Lord Black Impermanence, you were summoned here today for this evil ghost. He has committed many killings in the Human World recently. Moreover, he has been strengthening himself by devouring living souls. I hope you can take him back to Yama Hall to be judged.”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Black Impermanence’s expression became stern, “Such acts as devouring living souls to cultivate are crimes against the natural order that cannot be tolerated.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, “But, I also hope that you can investigate thoroughly why hell has not intervened in this matter until now.”

Black Impermanence nodded, the chill emanating from him growing stronger, “Do not worry, Miss. Such a serious matter, we will certainly investigate thoroughly to see where the oversight occurred.”

Generally speaking, once a person dies, hell’s messengers come to claim their soul quite quickly. Of course, there are some souls that do not wish to leave and wander the Earth.

This kind of thing happens all the time, but under normal circumstances, hell is usually aware of these ghosts’ whereabouts even if they don’t interfere too much.

But for a living soul to be devoured like this, it really is too much against the heavens, and it is impossible for hell not to know about it. However, so far, no report has been made, which is a serious matter. It shows that there’s a problem with hell’s management, and it must be rectified as soon as possible.

“Okay,” Zhong Niangyao said, pulling on the invisible thread in her hand, “Lord Black Impermanence, I leave this evil ghost in your care.”

Instantly, the evil ghost uncontrollably approached the direction of Black Impermanence until it stopped a few meters from him.

By now, the evil ghost had already lost its previous arrogance and was continuously shaking.

Black Impermanence was not one for idle chatter, even less so for small talk with Zhong Niangyao. Therefore, after taking control of the evil ghost, he disappeared with it instantly.

The moment Black Impermanence and the evil ghost vanished, the chilling atmosphere around immediately changed. The evening breeze, carrying a hint of warmth, unexpectedly made people feel a touch of warmth.

Han Xin looked at Zhong Niangyao and tentatively asked, “Lady Zhong, the person just now was—”

“Didn’t you see?” Nianyao looked at Han Xin with puzzlement, “If we let the evil ghost disappear just like that, it would be getting off too lightly. Now, having the Netherworld Messenger take him back to undergo punishment in hell is truly the most painful for him.”

Han Xin wanted to ask why she was able to summon a Netherworld Messenger, although he did not understand these metaphysical matters; he knew that messengers from the underworld were not so easily summoned.

Furthermore, seeing the familiar manner between Nianyao and Black Impermanence, it was clear that this was not her first time summoning a Netherworld Messenger.

Meanwhile, Luo Yong, not overthinking it, interjected, “Lady Zhong, you are truly incredible, to be able to summon a Netherworld Messenger, and even Black Impermanence himself.”

Nianyao raised her eyebrows but didn’t say much more.

Then, she moved her hands and feet and then said, “Captain Han, it’s best if you have your people thoroughly search this area.”

Both Han Xin and Luo Yong had been hiding in the shadows just now and, judging by the distance, definitely couldn’t have heard her conversation with the evil ghost. Thus, they certainly couldn’t know that the evil ghost had died here.

“Lady Zhong, is there something else?” Han Xin’s brows furrowed, “Hasn’t the evil ghost already been taken away by the Netherworld Messenger? You mean there are other victims we haven’t discovered?”

“No,” Nianyao shook her head, then suddenly said, “Captain Han, do you know why the evil ghost only killed people in this area? Even the taxi driver was targeted by the evil ghost not far from Huanshan Road, right?”

Han Xin was taken aback by Zhong Niangyao’s question, “Is there a special reason for this?”

“Indeed,” Nianyao nodded and continued, “Although he is an evil ghost, he is also an Earth-bound Spirit. It is not that he doesn’t want to go on a rampage elsewhere; it’s that he can only stay within this area.”

Fortunately, the evil ghost was an Earth-bound Spirit, otherwise there would have been even more victims by now.

“Lady Zhong, are you saying the evil ghost can’t leave this place?” Han Xin immediately understood but then felt confused, “Why is that?”

“Because his corpse is nearby,” Nianyao stated, “Furthermore, his body must have been tampered with by the murderer, which bound his soul to this place.”

“His corpse is here?” Han Xin realized at once, “Lady Zhong, are you suggesting the evil ghost was also murdered and his body dumped nearby?”

“That’s right,” Nianyao nodded, “Whatever he did after becoming an evil ghost will be judged by hell itself. But what he suffered before his death falls under the jurisdiction of the Human World.”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Han Xin immediately became serious and quickly assured, “Rest assured, Lady Zhong, I will definitely find the murderer behind this case.”

No matter how many abhorrent acts the evil ghost had committed, as a police officer, it was his duty to find the murderer if the ghost had been killed before passing and to seek justice for the victim.

Nianyao nodded, moved her limbs, and then spoke, “All right, I have sent off the evil ghost, so this case has nothing more to do with me. I’ll be leaving now, goodbye!”

After that, she left without hesitation, not pausing even for a moment in her step.

Han Xin intended to call out to Zhong Niangyao, to escort her back, but in the blink of an eye, he no longer saw her figure.

“Captain, Lady Zhong is really incredible.”

After tonight’s experience, Luo Yong held great admiration for Zhong Niangyao, “She’s so young yet already possesses such abilities; who knows what she will become in the future! However—”

He paused, expressing some distress, “This case is related to supernatural phenomena, how should we write the report? We can’t possibly write the truth!”

“No need to write one,” Han Xin said solemnly, “The people from the higher-ups should be arriving soon. Just explain the situation when they do; there’s no need for us to file a report.”
