Zhou Wenshu had not been idle these past two days.
Every night, he roamed the outskirts of the capital, or visited morgues and crematoriums.
His sole purpose was to encounter a vengeful spirit.
So that it could help him by going to scare Chen Nan.
And today.
He was lucky.
He encountered a vengeful spirit.
This fellow was named Ma Yan, and before he died, he was a drunkard.
Not just a drunkard.
But also a gambling addict.
He lost his car, his house.
Lost his job.
Even his wife and daughter were lost to others.
He had lost everything.
However.
He did not repent.
He continued to gamble with great zeal.
If he ran out of money, he would scavenge for scraps.
After scavenging, he would sell the scraps for money, dreaming of striking it rich overnight.
If he really couldn't find any scraps, he would take a desperate risk and steal.
Stealing bicycles, electric scooters.
But.
Nine times out of ten, gambling involves fraud.
As a gambling addict, how could you possibly win money from a casino?
Ten days ago.
He stole a three-year-old child from the street.
Sold him to human traffickers for eight thousand yuan.
Then he went to a barbecue stall to eat, got drunk to the point of dizziness, and with the remaining over seven thousand yuan in his possession, he went to the casino.
He intended to make a comeback.
Who knew he would lose everything?
This time.
He was furious.
And in a fit of rage, he stabbed the casino owner to death with a dagger he carried with him.
Before killing the man, he shamelessly shouted, "I'm eliminating a scourge for the people!"
He did indeed stab the casino owner to death.
But the casino employees surrounded him and hacked him to death.
However, because he had a strong obsession.
He transformed into a vengeful spirit.
"You can see me?" Ma Yan's face was sallow, his eyes filled with icy coldness. "Since you can see me, aren't you afraid of me?"
Zhou Wenshu smiled. "Since I can see you, I am naturally not afraid of you."
Ma Yan's eyes turned crimson, and he let out an angry roar. "Why?"
"Why is no one afraid of me?"
"It's one thing that no one feared me when I was alive!"
"Why, even after I'm dead and turned into a ghost, am I still not feared?"
"Can't you show some respect for ghosts?"
He released a surge of ferocious energy, causing the temperature to plummet.
Just as he lunged at Zhou Wenshu.
Zhou Wenshu silently recited a scripture, and a faint golden light, like a tide, spread out from within him.
Of course.
Ordinary people could not see this golden light.
Only souls could see it.
And be harmed by it.
Pfft!
Ma Yan was directly repelled by the golden light, his eyes filled with terror. "Who exactly are you? Why can you harm me?"
Zhou Wenshu said proudly, "Me?"
"I'm just a minor spirit medium."
Ma Yan nervously swallowed and looked at him with apprehension. "Although I don't know what a spirit medium is, it sounds very powerful."
"It's just so-so!" Zhou Wenshu chuckled. "I can only communicate with the underworld's infernal agents."
"By the way."
"Have you ever considered that you committed so many wicked deeds in your life?"
"Will you go to hell after you die?"
Ma Yan's pupils trembled violently.
When he was alive, he didn't believe he would go to hell after death.
He didn't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods.
But now.
He believed it wholeheartedly.
He also knew that with the sins he had committed, he would definitely go to hell.
This caused him to feel unprecedented fear.
Zhou Wenshu's mouth curved upwards. "With the sins you've committed, you'll definitely go to hell. As for which level of hell you'll go to, it depends on the judge's mood."
"As for me..."
"Although I am human."
"I can speak a few good words for you in front of the infernal agents."
"I can prevent you from being cast into the eighteenth level of hell!"
Upon hearing this.
Ma Yan quickly said, "You want me to go and scare Chen Nan? Where is he?"
Intimidating a mortal.
This was an easy task for him.
What's more.
Zhou Wenshu would also put in a good word for him with the infernal agents.
"Here, you can find Chen Nan by following the scent on this napkin." Zhou Wenshu took out a used napkin he had taken from the table when he had coincidentally met Chen Nan at the hot pot restaurant earlier.
This napkin was on Chen Nan's right side, and he had secretly taken it. It contained Chen Nan's scent.
Ma Yan sniffed the scent on the napkin and subconsciously swallowed. "He's eating authentic Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot, and there's pig brain, tripe, and honeycomb tripe. I wish there weren't any shrimp paste, I'm allergic to shrimp."
Zhou Wenshu almost cursed.
Are you a glutton?
"Hurry up and go, preferably scare him half to death." Zhou Wenshu said impatiently. "Also, tell Chen Nan to come to me tomorrow morning to kowtow and pay his respects."
"Otherwise, there's no way we can resolve this conflict."
Saying this, he told Ma Yan his address and asked Ma Yan to relay it to Chen Nan.
Ma Yan nervously asked, "If I do as you say, will you really put in a good word for me with the infernal agents?"
Zhou Wenshu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked unhappily, "Are you questioning my character?"
"No, no, no, I was just saying it casually." Ma Yan said, "Well, I'm off to find Chen Nan. I'll definitely scare him half to death and let him know the consequences of being your enemy." Saying this, he ascended into the air and flew towards Chen Nan's direction.
Just as Ma Yan left.
A black whirlwind suddenly appeared from nowhere.
Zhou Wenshu's spirits lifted, knowing that infernal agents had descended.
The next moment.
Two figures, one black and one white, appeared out of the black vortex.
These two were none other than.
The Black and White Impermanence from the underworld.
Seeing this scene.
Zhou Wenshu's heart trembled violently.
He clearly hadn't expected these two great lords to appear in the mortal realm.
Although he had interacted with many infernal agents, this was the first time he had encountered the Black and White Impermanence.
Let alone him.
Even his master would have to be respectful in front of these two lords.
Without thinking further, he quickly cupped his hands in salute. "This humble one, Zhou Wenshu, greets both your excellencies."
Black Impermanence glanced at him with an air of superiority. "Who is Huang Sanxiong to you?"
Zhou Wenshu quickly replied, "Huang Sanxiong is my master."
Black Impermanence nodded slightly. "I sensed a vengeful spirit in this area just now. Why is it nowhere to be seen? Did you destroy it?"
Zhou Wenshu replied nervously, "Replying to your excellencies, my cultivation is shallow, and I do not possess such ability. As for the whereabouts of that vengeful spirit, I have sent him to carry out justice."
White Impermanence chuckled. "Sending a vengeful spirit to carry out justice? This is interesting. Tell us, what happened?"
Zhou Wenshu quickly explained, "To be honest with your excellencies, I encountered an extremely wicked individual. That fellow was brutal and ruthless, resorting to any means. However, because he is a living person."
"Therefore, I was helpless. So, I sent that vengeful spirit to go and scare him, hoping he would turn over a new leaf!"
Black Impermanence snorted coldly. "There are still such extremely wicked, ruthless, and unscrupulous individuals in this world? Where is that person? We brothers will go and meet him. If what you say is true, we wouldn't mind taking him away!"
Zhou Wenshu's eyes lit up.
With the Black and White Impermanence taking action, how could Chen Nan possibly survive?
