Chapter 859: Chapter 859 A Sad Story

Although you are somewhat repelled by the black and white shadows, there is no choice for the moment, you can only rely on their power.

From their words, you naturally detected a bit of disdain, but your thick skin, coupled with the fact that your life was on the line, naturally wouldn’t allow you to give up just because of a few words they said.

Floating in front of them, you looked at the black and white shadows and with a frown said, "Now your life and death are in my hands. I can drain your power anytime I want if I wish to. If you don’t want to die, I hope you can answer my questions truthfully now."

The black and white shadow chuckled lowly, "My master, it is my honor to alleviate your confusion."

"Who are you exactly?"

"’Who?’ That term should be used for Humans, my master. You shouldn’t ask like that, you should ask, ’What am I exactly?’"

"It doesn’t matter, I just want the answer!"

The laughter of the black and white shadow still made you uncomfortable: "My master, frankly I don’t even know what I am. The first time I had self-awareness, it was you in the Underground Palace beneath the Wordless Monument."

"Wordless Monument? Underground Palace?"

Your brows furrowed deeply.

"Oh, oh, I forgot, poor master, in order to save her you sacrificed your Three Souls and Seven Spirits and became a mere remnant soul. After reconstructing your body, you have been struggling to survive until now."

"Her? Who is she?"

"Poor master, even bearing the Seal of Truesky, you are entangled and confused by your emotions for your children, which really doesn’t suit your identity."

"Cut the crap! Tell me, who is she?"

"Sorry, master, I don’t want to answer this question. Instead, I am now looking forward to you draining my power, hehe, that would be the best."

With the opponent not talking, you had no way to force it, merely snorted coldly, immediately forming a few hand seals, and a surging power flowed from the black and white shadow into your body.

Feeling incredibly replenished, a very peculiar emotion also affected you, and you suddenly had the urge to unleash the power within you.

The black and white shadow showed no change despite your absorption, it still nonchalantly coldly chuckled: "My master, keep absorbing, even more, in this world, only those with power can stand tall and proud!"

"Hmph!"

Opening your eyes, you couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

By the side, Xu Hai noticed and couldn’t help asking, "Brother Yun, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing. Let’s go in."

As you enter, a swirl of black and white light already glimmered in your eyes!

All the doors and windows of the villa were affixed with talismans, cinnabar lines, and Copper Coins, probably the doing of the two Taoists who died last night.

The room was a mess. Xu Hailan was bound by a net entwined with golden threads and couldn’t move. Seeing you come in, she appeared very agitated, screaming at you.

Seeing that the gold-threaded net was filled with Copper Coins, you couldn’t help but sigh softly, saying, "Ignorance kills."

"Brother Yun, what’s wrong with the Copper Coins?"

"Of course something’s wrong."

"But in TV and movies, they use copper coins to drive away ghosts, right?"

You gave him a sideways glare, "That’s TV and movies. Why can copper coins ward off evil? Because they were the common currency in ancient times, passed through many hands. Thus, they absorbed a lot of human energy, and what ghosts fear the most is human energy! And what are we using now?"

As you spoke, you took out a one-yuan coin from your pocket and flicked it towards Xu Hailan’s location. She seemed very wary of it and dodged in terror.

"Can one yuan also deal with ghosts?"

"Of course," you nodded, "The copper coins sold at street stalls now are either fake or excavated from dead people’s graves. The copper coins have lost their human energy in the graves and instead absorbed negative energies. Use those against ghosts? Hmph, for ghosts, that’s nourishment!"

Xu Hai and Fatty Jin exchanged glances, with the latter even smacking his thigh harshly and cursing, "Those two useless things!"

"People are already dead, saying more is pointless."

Saying this, you walked towards Xu Hailan.

Actually, since seeing Xu Hailan yesterday, you knew she was possessed by a ghost, and that ghost was a vengeful one!

If it were before, you’d definitely expel her with a talisman, but now you didn’t need to. You instantly extended your right hand toward Xu Hailan, curving your fingers into a claw. Threads of black and white light intertwined at your fingertips, and you suddenly grabbed her head. Xu Hailan suddenly let out a piercing scream, and Xu Hai and Fatty Jin saw you pulling out a blood-red shadow directly from Xu Hailan’s body!

"Ow!"

As soon as the blood-red shadow emerged, it screeched at Fatty Jin, who was so scared that his corpulent body immediately hid behind a bodyguard.

"Zhao Hong, everything in this world operates on the principle of karmic retribution. I didn’t destroy you immediately but allowed you to face Fatty Jin directly. I wanted to resolve your grievances, to dissipate the resentment in your heart. Only then can you enter the six realms of reincarnation."

"I don’t want any fucking reincarnation, I want to kill him! Kill him!"

"Zhao Hong?" Fatty Jin, upon hearing this name, suddenly felt it was familiar and then pointed at the blood-red shadow, asking, "Little Hong, is that... is it you?"

"It is me! It’s me!!!" Zhao Hong was evidently filled with extreme hatred for Fatty Jin, her screams heart-wrenchingly painful!

"Little Hong... you... I... sigh!"

Fatty Jin heaved a heavy sigh, clearly aware of the unspeakable atrocities he had committed.

Yesterday, when you looked at Xu Hailan, you had already learned about Zhao Hong and Fatty Jin.

Zhao Hong was a university graduate from the countryside. After graduation, she declined the lucrative offer to stay at the school and resolutely returned to her hometown. She taught seventeen students in a dilapidated shack on a hillside.

She taught with dedication. Despite the poor living conditions, despite the students bringing their stools from home, despite not having a classroom to shield them from wind and rain, she persevered.

Fatty Jin had made his fortune two years ago, using methods Xu Hai knew well, described with the words "filthy, inhumane."

Before making his fortune, Fatty Jin wasn’t fat, rather thin and somewhat handsome.

He was a small official in the town. During one inspection trip with the leaders to the countryside, he saw Zhao Hong. Afterwards, he took photos and recorded videos of what he saw and uploaded them online.

This drew the attention of many philanthropists, and even a couple of celebrities donated a significant amount of money.

Finally, the children could attend classes without using broken umbrellas. They had a new teacher, new blackboard, new desks—all new.

Including the relationship between Fatty Jin and Zhao Hong.

On a clear, moonlit night, Zhao Hong gave everything to Fatty Jin.
