Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Supernatural Detective Agency_1

"Everyone has heard of this method, it’s called ’Borrow Corpse to Resurrect The Soul.’"

"That’s a great idea!" Yang Kai praised, slapping his thigh right away.

Wei Shuxian and you exchanged glances and spit at him simultaneously: "Disgraceful!"

"I, I didn’t say anything." Yang Kai protested.

Wei Shuxian pushed up his glasses and looked at Yang Kai with disdain, "With your dirty little thoughts, what else could you possibly think of? You just want Old Shu to find a pretty-faced, slim-waisted girl with perky breasts so that Nie Ying can resurrect through her body, huh? Dreaming quite beautifully there."

Even Liao Yong, who was usually not good with words, chimed in, "And let’s add one more thing—if she’s the daughter of some big corporation, that would be even better. It’d save you thirty years of effort."

Seeing Nie Ying giving him a complex look, Yang Kai quickly defended himself, "Hey, you guys call yourselves brothers? Which brother stabs another in the back like that?"

The three of you shared a smile.

Wei Shuxian then said, "Old Shu, tell us the details of the method."

After giving it some thought, you said, "Borrow Corpse to Resurrect The Soul is an old trope. People who like horror stories or movies are familiar with it. But in movies and novels, the conditions for resurrection are simplified, or it’s very coincidental that the protagonist just happens to meet these conditions."

"What conditions?" Yang Kai eagerly asked.

You started by holding up two fingers, then quickly changed to three: "First, the person must have a weak Yang and strong Yin constitution, preferably with a history of illness; second, she must be deceased and her death not exceed seven days; third, you need someone capable of performing this Taoist art."

"Huh? You can’t do it?"

Not only Yang Kai, but even Wei Shuxian and Liao Yong looked surprised.

"Nonsense, I only joined halfway through my life in Taoism, you think I know everything? Besides, even if a Disciple of the Taoist School knows it, they wouldn’t use it lightly, as it would shorten their lifespan."

"Then, what do we do?"

Without waiting for you to speak, Nie Ying said softly next to Yang Kai, "Dear, it’s already my great fortune to have met you, how could I ask for more?"

Wei Shuxian thought for a moment and said, "There’s always a way; we’ll look for it slowly."

"Mm-hmm," you nodded and then asked Nie Ying, "I feel this villa has formed a certain connection with you. Have you become its House Commander?"

Nie Ying nodded: "There is a cellar beneath the villa that can gather Yin energy."

"No wonder your spiritual power is deeper than that of an ordinary ghost. Honestly, if we were to become enemies, I am not even sure I could subdue you."

"Uncle’s being modest. Even now, I can still sense the overwhelming righteousness from Uncle. Not just a minor ghost like me, even if a Ghost King came in contact with Uncle, they wouldn’t find it easy."

Hearing Nie Ying refer to "Uncle" made the three of you big guys feel quite uncomfortable.

"So, Little Kai, let’s put off the matter of Nie Ying regaining life for now. We’ll wait until the opportunity is right," you said, seeing Yang Kai nod. Then you continued to Nie Ying, "You’ve been going out, haven’t you?"

Nie Ying nodded again.

"Since you’ve been able to leave, why don’t Little Kai and Nie Ying start a romance between human and ghost?" With that, you stood up, "Liu Chao is still outside, and it’s getting late. I need to go to his place. From now on, this will be our base for the Supernatural Detective Agency. Nie Ying, please take care of everyone here from now on."

Nie Ying gave a slight nod, bearing some resemblances of an ancient beauty.

After you left, you saw Wei Shuxian and Liao Yong were following you out. You turned and asked, "Why don’t you stay a little longer?"

"How dare we disturb a couple’s private world?" Wei Shuxian said with a smile.

Liao Yong nodded, "Exactly, didn’t you see the way Yang Kai looked at us? He couldn’t wait for us to scram."

"This kid, really puts love before friendship."

And right after the three of you left, nestled in Yang Kai’s embrace, Nie Ying suddenly said, "Dear, that Uncle Mu Yun has an unusual identity, you must never make an enemy of him, okay?"

Yang Kai, hugging his beloved wife, laughed heartily without a care, "Don’t worry about it, although the four of us have different personalities, at least our values and worldviews are similar. What defines a good brother is someone who can trust the other with his back in the most dangerous times!"

Nie Ying looked up at Yang Kai and smiled sweetly...

You didn’t let Liao Yong and Wei Shuxian come with you, because for them, Liu Chao’s residence was now a dangerous place too.

Originally, Liu Chao thought something had happened to you when there was no movement after you went inside for a long time, but later, peering through the window and seeing you seemingly sitting in the living room having tea, he stayed in the car with confusion and puzzlement.

After you got in the car, Liu Chao turned and asked, "How did it go, problem solved?"

During the short distance of less than ten meters from the villa gate to the passenger seat of the car, you had already figured out what to say.

"We’ve basically reached a peaceful agreement, that female ghost is very adept in her Taoism, ordinary people can’t subdue her."

"What agreement?"

"Well," you paused, then continued, "She has become the House Commander for this villa, and the villa has essentially become her domain. It’s very difficult to harm her inside, unless you demolish the villa."

"That won’t do, our family may have had an argument and separated, but after all, this is our ancestral home, it can’t be demolished."

Knowing Liu Chao would react this way, you said with a smile, "So in the end we reached an agreement of mutual non-aggression, the first floor is for our supernatural detective society to use, and the second floor is her domain."

Liu Chao sighed lightly, "That’s the only option then."

Thinking of something, Liu Chao asked, "What did you mean just now by ’supernatural detective society’?"

"Oh, that’s a semi-profit university club I set up with a few friends. It’s like how I’m following you now to meet those two Ghost Man Tong. If I think I can handle it, then you’re effectively our supernatural detective society’s first client."

At this point, Liu Chao’s expression became a bit unnatural, "About the hiring fees... As you know, I’m a bit strapped for cash recently."

You laughed freely, saying, "No worries, since you’re our detective agency’s first client, I’ll give you a big discount, and I won’t charge you an arm and a leg, rest assured, like I said earlier, we’re semi-profit."

"Great, I really appreciate it!"

Just as you thought, Liu Chao also lived in a villa.

After getting out of the car, there was a yard neither big nor small, and unlike other houses, Liu Chao’s yard had no dogs.

As everyone knows, dogs are sensitive to spirits and would warn when they sense ghosts. It’s normal that Liu Chao didn’t keep one.

Standing in Liu Chao’s yard, you naturally sensed a very special aura, but from the outside, there didn’t seem to be any clues.

"Dear, you’re back."

At this moment, the villa door opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed in an expensive suit stood at the door. When you saw her, you were startled!
