Postmortem Appointment - C94
However, this place was actually a public place like a toll station. There were quite a few ghosts queuing up to go there.
They were all obediently lining up, completely devoid of any mood to resist. I couldn’t help but lament, sometimes, people are just such a wonderful and pitiful animal, no matter what position and fame a person had in life, or how much power he has, after his death, he would still be no different from any other ghosts.
At this time, I realised that every few meters, there were a few guys in blue uniform standing next to the group, holding onto a metal chain. Such an image suddenly reminded me of the security guards I saw in the mall, but the Ghost Officer here probably had a lot more authority than the security guards in uniform.
Furthermore, I can tell that these ghosts are very afraid of them. I think that they are more afraid of the chains in these Ghost Officer’s hands, if I’m not wrong, that thing should be used to hook ghosts.
Bai Hua and I honestly lined up and walked forward, as we looked around us in a bored manner. I suddenly realised that there was a rule in the Ghost Officer, which was that there would be one every 3 metres, and after seeing enough of the Ghost Officer, I looked at the large group of ghosts in front of me, and looked at the large group of people lining up from Hong Kong to Beijing, I really didn’t know when they would line up for us.
I stood at the back and looked around endlessly, my heart burning with anxiety. When I accidentally turned my head, I realized that the three Ghost Officer s beside me were looking at me coldly, and their eyes were filled with suspicion. I had heard that mortals can’t come to the Netherworld, so it’s good that they weren’t discovered.
Surprised, I looked down and saw that, apart from the red thread around my wrist, I didn’t seem any different from the other ghosts.
When I looked up again, one of the Ghost Officer s had already walked to my side. Although this person is a Ghost Officer, the other ghosts look the same, just that they have higher cultivation experience and have a very powerful iron chain on their hands. Of course, Bai Hua had told me about this.
After meeting Bai Hua, I finally understood why. Other than people from our world, when they were still alive, I couldn’t help but feel a little emotional in my heart.
Just then, Bai Hua suddenly dragged me behind him, and passed a few pieces to the Ghost Officer s.
I originally thought that Ghost Officer would leave after getting the money, but I didn’t expect such a thing. He shook his head at us, then pointed at my nose and said: “You go stand over there, don’t you understand these little rules?”
This guy’s voice was very hoarse and it sounded very awkward. If it wasn’t for old man Hong reminding us over and over again that it would be better to save some time to save ourselves some trouble, I wouldn’t have tolerated them.
I turned my head around mechanically and looked in the direction that he was pointing at. Only then did I notice that the group of people were clearly different from the rest.
At this moment, I lowered my head to look at myself, only to realize that my body was also emitting black smoke. It was obvious that the Ghost Officer wanted to assign me to that side because of this.
When the queue was right in front of me, I hurried over. The Ghost Officer originally wanted to grab hold of him, but Bai Hua had already given him a pair of underworld currency, thus he was willing to let this go, but she was afraid of causing trouble, so she kept on urging me to leave.
I naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible, but I still had to go through with the necessary formalities. I stuffed the paper money into the tollbooth’s shadow. He looked at it carefully, then passed two black books to Lin Nian and me.
We didn’t even know where the person Old Man Hong told us to look for was. I originally thought that Bai Hua would have a way, but now I realised that I had definitely overestimated her.
The two of us stood in a daze on the main street. At this time, the streets of the Underworld had the feeling of standing on the streets of Beijing at night when the streets were high and the streets were in the peak. It was just that there were no sounds of cars coming and going, and it seemed rather lively.
“What should we do now? We don’t even know the address. There are so many ghosts here, how can we find him as soon as possible?” I whispered into Bai Hua’s ear.
Bai Hua shook her head at me, then looked towards a direction, suddenly her eyes were opened wide, as though she had seen something unbelievable.
I was about to ask her what she saw, because I had just looked carefully, and those two were just a bunch of damn couples, and there were people like that everywhere on the street, but when I looked carefully, I realized that something wasn’t right.
Because I recognized that female ghost among them. She was none other than the Li Mei who almost tricked us to death last time.
“Senior Brother, why are you here?” While I was still in a daze, Lin Xin walked quickly towards the couple and shouted at the man in shock.
“Can’t you see that I’m dead, this is the will of heaven, but I’m living well here with little Mei right now. But I do want to ask you, what are you doing here, and why are you bringing an ordinary person who doesn’t know anything! ”
I just found out that this person was actually Bai Hua’s senior brother, the one who was responsible for the previous incident. I never would have thought that the two of them weren’t together when they were alive, but they ended up as husband and wife after they died.
“We want to find someone. Oh right, you guys are more familiar with this place than us. Can you help me find out where this person lives? We have urgent business with him.”
Bai Hua anxiously said to her senior, she is a cultivator, she naturally knows how time is of the essence, I do not wish to die so early.
“So you’re looking for him. You don’t need to ask me where he is.” Go straight along this road. He lives at No.14 Little Gouge Road, Nether Road. However, this guy is rather busy. If I knew earlier, I might have made an appointment for you in advance! ”
Bai Hua’s senior brother only glanced at the slip of paper and immediately said with a smile. It sounded like she was very familiar with that place.
After Bai Hua heard her senior brother’s words, she immediately pulled at me and bid her farewell happily. I waved my hand at her senior brother, but somehow, I kept having the feeling that when her senior brother saw me, his expression was a little unnatural.
Bai Hua pulled me along the street, and after walking for a while, she suddenly turned a corner and stopped, lying on the wall while secretly staring at her senior brother and Li Mei.
