Chapter 21: The Unstable Ghost
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hmph, don’t worry. Since I’ve given you a chance, I won’t take it back.” Hades laughed and said again, “Your duty is to eliminate ghosts with unstable evil energy. Do you understand?”
“I understand. It’s those ghosts that do evil and harm people’s lives...”
However, Hades interrupted Yun Qin’s answer, “No, there’s another group of ghosts you also have to eliminate. It’s those who are difficult to control under the divine axiom. For example, Zhang Yuan. He must enter reincarnation again. As for ghosts that you can control, such as the greedy ghost beside you, it’s not a big deal for it to follow you.”
Hearing this, Yun Qin was stunned. She asked hesitantly, “Why? Zhang Yuan never harmed anyone...”
“If Zhang Yuan hadn’t transformed into a ghost, with his talent, he could have ascended to become an immortal.”
Hades paused for a moment and said, “His condition is extremely unstable now. Zhang Yuan... forget it, you’ll find out later. I’ll give you another responsibility.”
Instantly, Yun Qin felt a chill between her brows, as if something was injected into her.
“You need to use your own evil energy to replenish yourself when you change someone’s fate. You should already be clear about this. I ordered you to absorb the evil energy in the world, which does cause harm to yourself. To make it up to you, you can come to me every once in a while with all your evil energy in exchange for a reward that you want.”
“Don’t doubt, the world is fair. As a ‘new’ person, you are no longer bound by the divine axiom. But correspondingly, the people around you will suffer a lot. You will need those rewards.”
Why did Hades label Zhang Yuan’s condition as ‘unstable’, and hence he must “die”? Why did Hades suddenly suggest that she could use the evil energy she absorbed to exchange for rewards? What did Hades mean when he said that the people around her would suffer?
Before Yun Qin could ask all her questions, Hades’ ethereal voice suddenly stopped. Then, Yun Qin felt as if her soul was separating again. When she came back to her senses, she was in front of the greedy ghost and Zhang Yuan.
After combing through her new ability in her mind, Yun Qin seemed to understand something.
However, when she saw Zhang Yuan’s concerned face, she opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.
When the greedy ghost saw her suddenly reappear, he jumped onto her excitedly and licked her with his long tongue.
Zhang Yuan looked at Yun Qin’s complicated expression and smiled. “Now that you’re back, my omen is even more obvious.”
“I...” Yun Qin couldn’t bear it and was at a loss on what to do.
“Do it. I already learned everything in that ancient book that my master gave me, I have no regrets,” Zhang Yuan rubbed the furry head beside his feet and said kindly.
“Um... do you really have no regrets?” Yun Qin suddenly asked.
Looking at Yun Qin’s eyes, Zhang Yuan thought for a while and slowly said, “There is indeed something.”
“I’ve done nothing but good deeds in my life. Why did I become a ghost in a mirror after I died?”
Hearing this, Yun Qin sighed. The new responsibility that Hades has given her is coming in handy.
“Sign a contract with me. I can fulfill a small wish of yours, but afterward, you must listen to my orders,” Yun Qin said. This was the responsibility Hades gave her to control “unstable ghosts” such as Zhang Yuan.
“Okay,” Zhang Yuan agreed readily. He looked very magnanimous and seemed to have no unfinished business on his mind.
But was that really the case?
The two of them successfully signed the contract. Yun Qin activated her new ability. Then, in a corner of the room, she found an ancient mirror.
When Zhang Yuan saw this mirror, his eyes widened and his body trembled. He said incoherently, “This, this...”
Zhang Yuan clearly recognized this mirror and it was obvious that he never thought about this mirror after he turned into a ghost.
When Zhang Yuan became agitated, Yun Qin could sense that the entire building’s aura was changing. The building had signs that it was trembling.
Looks like this was the reason why Hades said that Zhang Yuan was unstable.
Yun Qin calmed down and continued to activate her ability. After her black smoke filled the area, Yun Qin and Zhang Yuan disappeared. All that remained was the greedy ghost, the hidden ghost, and zombie worms staring at each other.
Both of them fell into Zhang Yuan’s memory at the same time.
When the group of villains who had countless lives on their hands surrounded Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan’s expression was still very calm.
But his expression changed abruptly when he saw a villain drag a woman and a little boy in from the doorway.
