Vengeful spirits? Let's get out of the dungeon first!

Chapter 25 Good Souls Turn into Vengeful Souls

The colors in the space gradually darkened, and apart from the scarlet eyes in the center, nothing else could be seen.

Ma Ye quickly pulled out the hairpin from his head, chanted the Golden Light Mantra, and the golden light gathered together, transforming into a golden mace in the blink of an eye.

"Certainly!"

The golden mace had no sharp edge, yet it pierced straight into the ground.

The rampant black energy abruptly stopped, and the scarlet eyes in the center of the arena stood frozen in place.

Cold sweat dripped from Ma Ye's forehead onto the black cloth at his feet, splashing out a white spray.

As the golden light spread throughout the space, only three people and a black statue remained in the center of the pure white space.

"No, I'm telling you, Mr. Zhang, haven't you learned anything about social etiquette after all these years?"

The two men were so frightened they couldn't speak. Zhang Cheng braced himself on the ground with both hands, and one of his shoes was missing.

"W-what, Mr. Ma, what exactly is going on?!"

"What else could it be? From the very beginning, this old man had no attachments and could enter reincarnation at any time."

"Just that one sentence of yours has almost devoured the three of us with resentment!"

Ma Ye never expected that this guy would still treat his own father with the same temper as when he was alive. Now he's really in trouble.

Sitting on the ground, Brother Fan knew that something serious had happened, and right now, he needed to rely on professionals to solve the problem.

"Mr. Ma, Xiao Zhang really doesn't see the situation clearly, and I apologize to you on his behalf."

What should we do now? It seems unlikely that the old man will be able to reveal the formula given his current condition.

"Let's go out first; we'll have to discuss this further later."

After a snap of his fingers, only Ma Ye remained standing in place.

Looking back, one could see the hairpin in the golden mace swaying slightly, something that had never happened before.

But right now, Ma Ye doesn't have time to worry about that.

Zhang Yuanchao's situation is already a huge headache.

As the eyelids closed rapidly, the original white space transformed back into the rustic Aoki-do.

Zhu Jin had changed back into her usual casual sportswear and was sitting at the table eating sunflower seeds.

Seeing Ma Ye open his eyes, she also rubbed the sunflower seed shells off her hands above the trash can.

"What happened? The temperature inside has dropped."

After throwing the dream-entering talisman on his forehead into the trash can, Ma Ye couldn't help but rub his nose.

"This is a huge problem. A benevolent spirit has been borrowed and turned into a vengeful spirit. I wonder if the City God will be angry."

The ginger tea on the table was bubbling away; it must have been prepared by Zhu Jin just now.

The two people on the recliners slowly woke up, and Zhang Cheng even touched his crotch.

Thankfully, it didn't get wet.

After taking off his goggles, Brother Fan also felt a bit cold and kept rubbing his arms.

"Come on, have some ginger tea first."

Zhang Cheng didn't shrink back because of his mistake. He put the goggles on the table, picked up the ginger tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

The warm ginger tea entered my stomach and dispelled the chill from my body.

"Mr. Ma, isn't the situation a bit more complicated now?"

"A point? Anyway, it's not something that can be solved with eight hundred yuan."

Not only are you going to get into trouble, but I might also get caught in the crossfire!

Upon hearing Ma Ye say this, Zhang Cheng immediately stuffed the money from his pocket into Ma Ye's hand, and no one could stop him even across the table.

"Mr. Ma, no, Master Ma!"

You absolutely have to save me! Just tell me how much it costs, I won't hesitate to max out my credit cards!

Feeling the thickness of the banknotes in his hand, at least five thousand yuan, Ma Ye was also taken aback.

He originally only wanted a thousand yuan, but he didn't expect this guy to be so generous. No wonder those people at funeral stalls always exaggerate the truth.

But there was no need to take the money back after he had it, so Ma Ye stuffed the money, along with the three thousand yuan on the table, into Zhu Jin's hand.

"We can't rush things now. The trouble with this is that we have to race against the underworld officials."

As mentioned on the previous flyer, my main profession includes exorcising spirits and resolving grievances.

Now, I need you two to tell me about Mr. Zhang's life as soon as possible. Old photos would be even better.

Upon hearing that there was a solution, Zhang Cheng quickly took out his phone and retrieved the photos that he had previously scanned at the photo studio from his cloud drive.

He held the phone with both hands and respectfully placed it in front of Ma Ye.

"Mr. Ma, all my family's old photos are here. If you need anything else, just let me know, and I'll have my wife go back and get it right away!"

Ma Ye couldn't think of anything else; he just looked through the photos while listening to the two talk about Zhang Yuanchao's story.

From the moment the noodle shop opened until the old man passed away.

In just over two hours, I drank about a tenth of the bottled water.

Zhu Jin stood to the side, waving her hands repeatedly, having already filled more than ten pages in her notebook.

"Mr. Ma, is this detailed enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough. If you keep digging, you'll even reveal your bank account."

"Please add my contact information later and send me all these old photos and photos of your noodle shop, the more detailed the better."

After that, those two were basically out of the picture. Ma Ye was annoyed by them, so he opened the door and asked them to go back.

Before the door was even closed, a rapid bicycle bell rang.

Ma Ye naturally knew who this person was, and feeling guilty, he was about to close the door when he discovered that Wen Liang had already stepped one foot inside.

"Little Ma, what's going on? Why won't they let me in?"

"No, no, no, how could that be, Master Wen!"

"Quickly, Xiao Jin, serve Master Wen tea!"

As soon as he took his second step, Wenliang saw two paper figures lying on the ground, one to the left and the other to the right.

"Alright, there's no need to pretend here. If you're tired of lying down, get up and move around."

Liu Gan and Qin Qing, who were on the ground, did not dare to move, but when they saw Ma Ye nod, they got up and dusted themselves off.

A cup of floral tea was handed over, and Wenliang sat down in the armchair.

"Little Ma, how come you've started learning how to command the dead like your master?"

"It's not that their lifespans haven't ended yet, and there's no point in them returning to the City God Temple, so we thought we'd give them something to do."

After taking a sip of the flower tea, Wenliang placed the teacup on the table.

Seeing Ma Ye's hunched shoulders and crossed arms, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Wait, when did you change your ways?"

Ma Ye didn't dare to look up, but just muttered to himself.

"Make a mistake and you will be punished; if you are beaten, you must stand at attention."

"Such a big matter has brought Master Wen here personally, how can I not be humble..."

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

Even though Fan Bingbing knew you wanted Zhang Yuanchao, she didn't let her soul and spirit vanish into thin air.

"It's just a benevolent spirit turning into a vengeful one. If this happened to your master, he'd be blaming Fan Bingbing!"

Wen Liang knew that this kid had misunderstood his purpose, so he stood up and patted the young man on the shoulder.

But this action startled Ma Ye so much that he almost dodged.

"I didn't come here for this matter. The City God asked me to check if you two siblings need anything."

"The salaries are settled, five thousand each for the two of you, is that enough?"

"That's enough! Thank you, Mr. Wen!"

Zhu Jin, who had been standing by, ready to be punished along with Ma Ye, suddenly brightened up. Not only had their mistake not angered the City God, but they would also receive money. Zhu Jin excitedly hugged Ma Ye.

But after saying this, Wen Liang coughed again, his expression slightly tense.

"After the good news, there's always the bad news."

The two who were hugging immediately let go and returned to their training state.

"Xiao Ma, Xiao Sun has registered you with the City God Temple, so your salary will be paid from there, and your social insurance and housing fund contributions will be paid according to the normal standards."

But there's nothing that can be done about Xiao Jin.

They said that college students who haven't graduated can't pay social security, but I don't understand, so I'll just arrange it this way for now.

They said they'd make you a full-time employee after you graduate.

After he finished speaking, both of them opened their mouths wide.

Wen Liang felt that this news would probably make the two children sad for a while, since the medical insurance was quite useful and could save them a lot of money when they went to the clinic.

I decided to leave first and let the two siblings calm down on their own.

"Brother, do I already have a formal job before even graduating?"

"What are you saying? Your brother already has a stable job!"
