Chapter 1 An Evil Ghost is Killed

The evil ghost in front of her had killed many people here.

She never imagined that one day she would witness this evil ghost being destroyed.

The girl then said, "The biggest evil ghost has been eliminated. Everyone can come out now."

As soon as she said that, people hiding in the tents began to crawl out.

At first, some people were still afraid, but one person stood up, and then others followed suit.

Someone asked, "Is it true?"

"It's true, Grandma, look."

The girl helped an elderly woman and pointed in the direction of Yuan Muye, saying, "He was the one who killed the evil ghost. He's very strong."

The old woman smiled, but then she couldn't help but shed tears. "My son's revenge has finally been avenged."

The crowd cheered.

The cheering caught Yuan Muye's attention. He looked back and saw figures emerging from the tents.

Suddenly, his mood became complicated.

These people didn't ask for much, just to live in peace.

They didn't have many demands. Being able to eat and stay warm would be enough, but even that was extremely difficult to achieve.

Yuan Muye took a deep breath. This was a chaotic world.

It was just like the saying, the common people suffer whether the dynasty rises or falls.

Regardless of what happened, the suffering always fell on the common people.

At that moment, Yuan Muye picked up the ghost stones lying on the ground. He put the level-five ghost stones into his pocket, turned around, looked at Qi Feng and the other special paranormal team members, and said slowly, "Captain Qi, take your men and clear out all the evil ghosts within a kilometer or two."

Qi Feng didn't dare to say any nonsense to Yuan Muye at this time and responded, "Yes, Deputy Director Yuan."

Then, he took his men and headed in all directions.

Now that the biggest evil ghost here had been eliminated, there wasn't much danger left.

Yuan Muye stood where he was, and a voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Congratulations, host, for successfully killing a level-five evil ghost. With four more level-five evil ghost kills, the host will be able to connect with the Underworld."

Hearing this reminder, Yuan Muye's expression didn't change much. Instead, he remained calm and composed.

Just then, another voice came from behind him, "Look, our hero is over there!"

Immediately, everyone ran towards Yuan Muye, moving quickly.

Soon, they surrounded Yuan Muye, showering him with words of gratitude.

Hearing these words of thanks, Yuan Muye was deeply moved.

He said, "Everyone, this is all part of my job. You don't need to thank me. It's my duty to do these things."

Even so, people continued to express their gratitude to Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye didn't know what to say.

He had only temporarily removed the immediate danger, but the long-term threat remained.

These people before him were still homeless and forced to live outdoors.

Their situation could be described as miserable.

This situation lasted for about ten minutes before the people surrounding Yuan Muye began to disperse.

The little girl was still standing next to Yuan Muye, not leaving.

She stared at Yuan Muye and said, "Can you take us inside?"

Yuan Muye looked at her longing eyes and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a while, he said, "I will do my best."

"Really?"

"Really."

Yuan Muye replied.

"Thank you, hero."

The little girl cheered and was about to run back.

Yuan Muye knew what she was going to do and immediately stopped her, saying, "Wait."

The little girl turned back in confusion and said, "What's wrong? I want to go back and tell everyone the good news."

"Don't say anything yet. I'm not 100% sure."

Yuan Muye always acted cautiously. He didn't want to announce anything in advance if he wasn't certain.

This was a habit Yuan Muye had developed from his business days in his previous life.

Although the little girl was curious and puzzled, she agreed.

The two then chatted for a while. Yuan Muye learned that the girl's background was very tragic. Her relatives and friends had all been brutally killed by evil ghosts.

Only she had survived.

Therefore, she particularly valued living.

Not only her, but everyone else was the same. Their current living conditions were truly miserable.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Muye said, "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

After saying this, even Yuan Muye himself didn't believe it.

After about two or three hours, Qi Feng returned with his team members.

Some of the team members had wounds on their bodies.

Qi Feng came to Yuan Muye and said respectfully, "Deputy Director Yuan, the cleanup mission is basically complete."

"Good, thank you for your hard work. The injured team members should go back and rest. Those who aren't injured will stay here. No one can leave tonight. Does anyone have any objections?"

Yuan Muye said.

At this moment, someone said, "I have an objection."

Yuan Muye's eyes fell on that person. "Hmm?"

That person said, "Deputy Director Yuan, we just have minor injuries. It won't affect our duty."

Hearing this, Yuan Muye didn't say another word. He said, "In that case, everyone will stay and patrol together tonight."

Everyone agreed.

In the evening, some people brought food.

This food was all they had.

This made everyone feel very touched.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Muye called Qi Feng aside.

Qi Feng didn't say any nonsense and followed Yuan Muye to the side. Yuan Muye looked at Qi Feng and said, "Captain Qi, I have something I need you to do."

"What is it? Just tell me."

Qi Feng agreed readily.

Yuan Muye looked at Qi Feng with a surprised expression. Qi Feng was stunned for a few seconds, a little confused, but he probably knew why Yuan Muye was looking at him like that. He said, "Yuan Muye, I did have some opinions about you before, but your strength tonight has convinced me."

"Convinced?"

Yuan Muye said with a smile.

"That's right. I don't know what happened to you, but your recent growth rate is indeed surprising, even unbelievable."

He continued.

Yuan Muye said, "Of course. A genius like me is definitely much stronger than a mediocre person like you."

After Yuan Muye said this, he originally thought he would receive negative emotion points from Qi Feng.

But this time, surprisingly, he didn't!

This made Yuan Muye feel curious...
