this Or perhaps, he's referring to something else entirely》》》I lay on him, covered by an air conditioner blanket, curled up in the back seat.He sat leisurely beside me, his strong and slender fingers...It's rare for Jiang Qiyun to use his lotus root physical form to exorcise evil spirits. I find it a bit morbid — these ghosts don't know his true identity, thinking he's just an "ordinary" Taoist priest.

He also relished the tranquility, even deliberately allowing these ghosts to make a spectacle of themselves before him.

We pushed the door open and some strange noises came from upstairs, it seemed that more than one spirit was wandering here.

How could a perfectly normal office building suddenly become a gathering place for ghosts

"Don't worry about this too much. As a Taoist priest, all he does is balance yin and yang. Right and wrong are judged by the gods and spirits of the underworld, each doing their own job." Jiang Qiyun reminded me gently.

“All I want is to find a ghost and ask if it came out from that pit behind the temple…” I explained.

"Then find someone more trustworthy. The last one was obviously a demon, not reliable." Jiang Qiyun shook his head.

Ghosts are ghosts. What do you want them to be The honest ones all went down to the Forgetfulness Platform and lined up, why would they still linger in the world to harm people's lives

Jiang Qiyun put his hands in his pockets, looking like a rich second-generation heir coming for an inspection. He pointed at the end of the corridor with his chin and said, "There's someone over there."

Bathroom

I have a strong aversion to this place. A gloomy and damp place, what could possibly be good about it

However, the Heavenly Emperor commanded me, so I can only move under his gaze towards the restroom.

In front of the bathroom mirror, there was a woman who seemed to be applying lipstick. After applying her lipstick, she turned and walked into the inner room, and suddenly a scream came!

Will ghosts be scared

She came out quickly and slowly stood in front of the mirror, picking up lipstick to apply it again.

She repeated the action over and over, seemingly stuck in a loop.

A bound ghost She didn't even know she was scared to death

I recalled the ominous hints in the client files, mentioning a female employee who died suddenly in the restroom. The autopsy report indicated cardiac arrest as the cause of death with no signs of external trauma.

Could it be her

I silently recited the Bao-gao, and a cute little ghost, wobbly and bumping into things, appeared beside me.

"Hello, Little Empress…" He rubbed his hands together and wiped them on his sleeves.

"What are you doing You just ate and haven't had time to wipe your hands" I asked suspiciously.

"No, no, it's..." He glanced back at Jiang Qiyun who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, and whispered: "I get a little nervous working when the Emperor is watching me."

“...”

"Little Empress, why are you so into ghosts This building is full of eerie vibes... Did you come here specifically to exorcise them" asked the adorable little ghost.

"Yeah, yeah, don't ask so many questions, just work hard. You might get a promotion, a raise, and even marry a rich ghost girl! There are lots of ghosts here," I coaxed.

He and the little ghost looked at each other, giggling foolishly. "It's great following Little Lady," he said. "The other colleagues don't dare to bully us anymore, and our work is light... well... it seems like Little Lady, your tasks aren't easy either... Are our skills up to par"

What a loser!

I glared at the two of them. The big leader was watching from behind, you guys better perform well! When will you be able to stand out from the ranks of ordinary civil servants

Sometimes, people can really be scared to death.

That kind of sudden, intense fear, that overwhelming external stimulus, truly makes your heart skip a beat.

I walked to the side and watched as the earthbound ghost woman entered the last cubicle. Immediately, a ghostly figure pierced through the ceiling and landed in the next cubicle over.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

I saw the apparition extend its head out from the highest part of the partition, with its throat pressed against the board. Its entire head was protruding, tongue swollen and flipped outward, eyes bulging, truly terrifying.

"...Poor hanged man..." the adorable little demon clerk said in a low voice, "It's really rare these days."

"Rare"

"Well, I used to see hanged ghosts all the time. Nowadays, how many houses even have beams And people hardly ever end their lives that way anymore," the little demon explained.

This back-and-forth screaming, I estimate that it could faintly be heard outside. Villagers couldn't have missed it, and with several lives lost, why didn't the villagers hire a Taoist priest to look into this factory instead of going to that temple

"Little Empress, which one do you want to grab" the little demon grinned.

"Both were caught."

"Uh, okay!" He waved his chains and, working with the dimwitted little ghost, the chains flew quickly towards the two ghosts. Just as they were about to be caught, the hanged ghost suddenly "swoosh"ed upwards and escaped!

"My goodness! This fellow has some skill! He's not a new ghost!" The little demon pulled back the bound earth-ghost while regretfully watching the escaped hanged ghost.

The tormented soul was bound, the earthbound ghost screamed while clutching her chains. The timid little spirit clerk tapped a summoning scroll on her head with his hand, drawing away the remnants of her consciousness. She slumped down like cotton.

"Why don't you go out What are you doing staying here" I asked in a low voice, pinching the fingertip seals for warding off evil spirits.

Although she had become a ghost, she kept repeating her actions from when she was alive. She must still have some images lingering in her mind.

"...Can't get out...Can't get out..." She shook her head. "Overtime...I'm the only one left...Locked in here...Everyone else is gone...Suddenly, a head popped up and stared at me..."

"Where did the others go" I followed up.

"There's a baby, everyone go look at the baby... Suddenly I feel so cold... So cold..." She mumbled incoherently.

Honey Could it be...

"I'll perform an exorcism for you. You shouldn't stay here any longer." I took out the Shen family's talisman, muttered the incantation, and threw it towards her head.

After her form vanished, I looked at the ceiling and asked, "Are you guys ghosts too Why can't you go through the ceiling"

"Who said you can't You can," the little ghost mumbled, looking at me with utter bewilderment.

What

"Then why didn't you go after him" I asked, my eyes wide.

"This…this isn't like chasing down a desperate enemy and showing no mercy, is it! This ghost is very cunning! We wouldn't normally foolishly chase after it, afraid of falling into a trap! Dealing with ghosts requires both wit and bravery!"

Still fighting wits and bravery! Just say if you're afraid!

I walked out and said to Jiang Qiyun, "One has run away. Let's go uphill and take a look."

He chuckled softly and nodded, then his gaze swept past me to fix on the two impish attendants with a cold stare.

The little demon lowered his head and trembled.

...so pitiful.

"They just caught one for me... I suspect they were doing construction in the temple courtyard and unearthed something, which released these spirits. They seem to be quite old." I explained.

Jiang Qiyun said faintly, "In a few years, it will be time to return to the underworld. The saint's dharma body should have been suppressing these things, but it was stolen and a hole was dug into it, allowing these things to scatter and flee. Besides, the layout of this factory is problematic, with only one air inlet, poor ventilation, making it a good hiding place for these things."r worriedly asked, "Didn't you kill him""How is that possible to kill!" Ji Du roared angrily, "You're doubting my fighting skills!""No doubt, no doubt... you've been practicing for thousands of years,...
