The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

The woman had no idea what Zhang Xiaogou was feeling at the moment, she just reached out to pull him out of the closet.

The man had just beaten someone up and was now drunk. He wouldn't wake up for a while.

This can also be considered an alternative kind of "experience".

But she never expected that after the woman had finally helped the boy out of the closet, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind her.

The hand grabbed the woman's hair from behind and pulled it back.

It was as if he appeared out of nowhere, and with him came the tall man who should have been drunk.

"what!!"

The woman screamed subconsciously, her expression revealing fear and terror.

Zhang Xiaogou was equally frightened.

He grabbed her hand and tried to save her from the man.

However, the reality was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The man easily pulled the woman's hair and pulled her out of the room, cursing in dialect.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaogou didn't care about his own injuries and weakness, and staggered out to chase after him.

Outside, I saw my mother being pinned down and beaten by the other party again.

His fists pounded the woman's chest and head mercilessly, each blow carrying a suffocating force. Zhang Xiaogou seemed to be able to hear the sound of bones breaking.

He rushed over and tried to stop him, but was pushed away by the man.

Seeing the woman's face covered in blood after being beaten, and even the man's hands were stained with blood, Zhang Xiaogou's eyes suddenly turned red.

His eyes fell on the axe in the yard. An unknown force surged from his body. He limped over, grabbed the axe, and was about to chop it down at the back of the man's neck...

This blow of the knife would be patricide, and he would suffer punishment in his future, whether in life or after death.

Yi Zan sighed and was about to raise his hand, but was held down by Ming Yan beside him.

Ming Yan disagreed with his intervention, "Even if he killed his father, it was his destiny."

Yizhan nodded, "I know."

As he said this, he pushed the man away without hesitation, raised his hand, and a ray of light went towards the machete in the boy's hand.

The cold light of the machete seemed to awaken the minds of everyone in the house.

The drunk man who was originally busy beating someone subconsciously turned his head and looked at the machete that was so close to him. He was sobered up instantly and tried to dodge immediately.

However, his foot slipped and he inexplicably fell to the side, hitting his head on the ground and fainting.

The sudden change made Zhang Xiaogou stunned for a moment, but looking at the unconscious man on the ground, he knew that this was the best time.

He raised the knife in his hand high again, but before it fell, he heard a pleasant male voice behind him.

"If you kill him, it will take you at least three lifetimes to clear your sins."

In the old mountain village house, the voice of a fourth person suddenly appeared. Zhang Xiaogou's body trembled obviously, and he turned his head subconsciously towards the source of the voice. He saw two tall figures standing in the backlight of the door, which were completely different from those in this village.

He couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly, but he subconsciously felt a sense of danger.

"You, who are you?"

Zhang Xiaogou turned around and subconsciously pointed the knife in his hand at the person who came.

These two people who suddenly appeared in the house didn't look like normal people at all.

Yi Zan looked at his shaking hands and uttered only two words lightly.

"Spiritual matters."

He said, "You placed a murder order with me."

Zhang Xiaogou's pupils slightly widened, "You, you came to help me kill people?"

This time, before Yi Zhan could speak, Ming Yan on the side said coldly,

"We won't help you kill anyone."

Zhang Xiaogou's eyes flashed with confusion, but then followed by anger.

"Then what are you doing here?!"

The young boy, holding a machete in both hands, angrily questioned the two men,

"I've been waiting for you for so long! None of you were willing to come and rescue us, you refused to help me, and now I've decided to do it myself, are you still going to stop me?!"

Each of his voices was hoarse and filled with resentment, as if he was venting the pain he had suppressed for many years.

The woman on the ground heard the boy's cry of pain. Her eyes, which were almost covered with blood, could barely see the knife in the boy's hand. Although she could not get up, she still tried hard to reach out and grab the knife in the boy's hand.

Zhang Xiaogou thought she also wanted to stop him.

But Yi Zan saw the other party's intention through the momentary clarity in the eyes of the woman whose soul was not fully formed.

She wasn't trying to stop him.

She wanted to... do it on his behalf.

When the matter came to an end, Yi Zan had already made up his mind.

"Whether I accept this order or not, you obviously can't pay me what I want. I came here just to tell you that the order is canceled."

Zhang Xiaogou's eyes were red again, "Whatever reward you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you!"

"You can't afford it."

Yizhan said, "But if you can wait one more day, I can give you another option to get your mother out of trouble."

Zhang Xiaogou hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Yizhan did not elaborate, but only said, "You will know tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Ming Yan without caring about what the young man said.

Ming Yan was a little surprised when he saw Yi Zan walking out of the old courtyard.

"I thought you were going to help him."

Yi Zan glanced at him and said, "Spirituals don't accept murder orders, and I'm not a murderer."

But he said it wasn't a lie to give him another option.

He had already discovered the abandoned cell phone while hiding in the room.

That should be an abandoned cell phone left in the mountains by some mysterious master or ghost cultivator.

The reason why Zhang Xiaogou was able to accidentally touch the spiritual APP was probably because he had previously used a special spiritual network to connect to all spiritual APPs and spiritual powers.

Since it was caused by him and he came, then this can be considered a cause and effect.

Yi Zan didn't say anything else, but instead walked towards another place in the village.

Although Ming Yan had known him for thousands of years, he had never been able to fully understand Yi Zan, let alone know what he wanted to do.

He didn't know what he wanted to do at first, but when he sensed a faint ghostly aura somewhere behind the village, he vaguely guessed his intention.

Sure enough, the two came to a solitary grave in the mountains behind the village, and saw a female ghost sitting in front of the grave.

The ghost girl's legs were in a twisted position, obviously broken during her lifetime. Even after death, her soul still retained its pre-death appearance.

The woman's appearance was indeed somewhat scary, but if Zhang Xiaogou was here, he would find that the female ghost was the "teacher" who once taught him.

A year had passed since he heard the news of her death, but her teacher's soul was still guarding her grave, unable to rest in peace.

No, maybe it wasn't that she didn't want to leave.

Instead, she was trapped here artificially.

Ming Yan knew at a glance that her soul was nailed here.

Someone drove nails into her body and sprinkled dog blood on it. This is a folk method used to restrain the dead and prevent them from turning into evil spirits to seek revenge.

It seems that the people in this village also know that what they did was immoral, and they are also afraid that the people they killed will take revenge after death.

Ming Yan looked at the female ghost without making any move, but Yi Zan looked at him.

"Why are you still standing there? As the King of Hell, it is one of your duties as the King of Hell to collect souls and return them to the underworld."

Ming Yan pursed his lips. He had a feeling that this was not the reason why Yi Zan came here on purpose.

But he still obeyed and was about to reach out to take the soul away when he heard Yizhan next to him continue,

"After all, you are not a subordinate ghost. You are not familiar with the business. It is normal for you to accidentally let the other party go in the middle of liberating the soul."

Ming Yan: ...

So, does he still have to pretend to let it go?
