Chapter 29:
In the attic, the old man stared at the water in the bowl. After a while, the water calmed down. Although it was slightly turbid because of the ashes of the yellow talisman, a strange scene appeared on the water surface.
The surface of the water was like a mirror or a computer screen. A picture appeared on the surface of the water. The person in the picture was Ye Jiang.
It was like a replay from a surveillance camera. The scene on the screen was the scene when Ye Jiang met the black cat. The perspective of the scene was the black cat's perspective in the dark corner at that time.
The old man's eyes suddenly focused on the image in the water. In the image, a huge black shadow appeared behind Ye Jiang. This black shadow was fiendish, and its entire body emitted a murderous aura.
At that time, it was also because the black cat saw it that it had made a fierce appearance.
" Ghost King…"
The old man had been twitching violently recently. The black cat beside him stood on end. Its entire body tensed up as it looked fiercely at the scene in the water.
On the screen, the black shadow raised both hands and reached for Ye Jiang's neck, wanting to strangle him.
It was also at this moment that Ye Jiang turned around in confusion. At the same time, his body emitted a dazzling light that enveloped Ye Jiang. In an instant, the black shadow was swallowed by the light.
" This…"
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched again as he looked at the scene in the water with a dumbfounded expression.
That was the f * cking Ghost King, and it was gone just like that?
That was an opponent that he could not defeat even if he risked his life. However, before he could even touch a hair on Ye Jiang's head, he was devoured by a ray of light.
The scene in the old man's water disappeared. The old man's eyes were bright as he sighed,"This is destiny!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he carried the black cat and left the attic.
In the hall of the wooden building, Ye Jiang was currently watching a funny video with a silly smile. He looked like the silly son of a landlord.
The old man carried the black cat to the living room and looked at Ye Jiang apologetically."Young man, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!”
"It's fine, it's fine!"
Ye Jiang waved his hand, put away his phone, and sat up straight. Then, he looked at the old man seriously and said,"Old sir, don't beat around the bush. What do you want from me?”
Although Ye Jiang was playing with his phone just now, he had analyzed the situation. If something happened between the old man and the young man in Taoist robes, it had nothing to do with him.
However, they were trying their best to invite him in. This meant that the old man and the young man in the Taoist robe wanted to pull him into a trap. Then, there must be something they needed his help with.
"Alright, then I'll tell you the truth!”
The old man took a deep breath and took out a token. He placed it on the table and said,"Have you heard of a ghost hunter?”
"Ah?"
" Ah!" Ye Jiang exclaimed, his face full of shock. He was even a little at a loss.
This was because what the old man said was completely beyond his understanding. He was still a little unable to react.
The old man looked at Ye Jiang and smiled." Little friend, don't panic. Nothing will happen in this courtyard."”
"Are there really ghosts in this world?”
Ye Jiang was puzzled. If there were ghosts in this world, did that mean that there were ghosts in his previous world as well?
"Yes!"
The old man nodded and said seriously,""Humans have spirits, animals and plants have spirits, and even some inanimate objects have spirits. If a human dies, they really die. If a human dies, they are ghosts.”
After a pause, the old man continued," Ghosts, also known as spirit bodies, are a very special existence. It would be fine if they did not have intelligence. Once they have intelligence, they will be like humans. They have this desire. With this desire, they will think of ways to become stronger. In order to become stronger, they will devour their own kind and kill humans. Therefore, we ghost hunters came into being.”
Ye Jiang was stunned when he heard the old man mention a domain that he had never come into contact with before. At the same time, he was even more curious. What did this have to do with him?
"But what does this have to do with me?" Ye Jiang looked at the old man and said.”
With the system in hand, the world was mine. No matter if you were a demon or a monster, you could only retreat quickly when you saw me.
Hearing this, the old man looked embarrassed and said,""Because I want you to join our ghost hunters.”
"No!"
Ye Jiang shook his head and said," Look at how poor you are. Look at how poor you ghost hunters are. I'm already poor enough. I don't want to be poorer."”
Hearing this, the young man in a Taoist robe was unhappy and quickly said," We have the country's certification, we have the country's subsidies…"
"Shut up!"
Before the young man could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the old man. The old man looked at Ye Jiang with shame and said,""Little friend, I'm sorry. I didn't discipline you well enough.”
"It's fine, it's fine!"
Ye Jiang shook his head and looked at the old man with shining eyes."You ghost hunters have national certification. Could it be that the country's leaders know of your existence?”
"I know!"
The old man nodded." Ghost hunters have always existed since ancient times. Although they are certified by the country, they cannot be exposed. Therefore, the world has never known about our existence.”
Unexpectedly, ghost hunters were a profession that had existed since ancient times. Ye Jiang had opened the door to a new world today and learned something different.
Ye Jiang gave him a thumbs up." Impressive, serving the people."”
"Little friend, are you willing to join us?" The old man asked.”
"No!"
Ye Jiang shook his head again. He then stood up and looked at the old man, saying,"Old sir, after hearing so much from you, it's getting late. I should go back. You shouldn't stop me, right?”
"Hey!"
The old man sighed and shook his head.""If you don't want to, I won't force you.”
The young man seemed to recall something and quickly said,"" But Master, it's the night of a hundred ghosts outside…"
"It's fine. The Ghost King is already dead.”
The old man hurriedly interrupted the young man because he knew what the young man wanted to say next, but he couldn't let Ye Jiang hear those words.
"Night of a Hundred Ghosts?"
Ye Jiang was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud and said,"I'd like to see the night of a hundred ghosts.”
