Chapter 16

No shadow?

　　Is it a ghost?

　　Is Li Muyang dead?

　　It turns out that he wasn't confused from working overtime, but because he had turned into a ghost and couldn't enter the house without the owner's permission.

But he was fine when I saw him a few days ago. What happened?

　　The new ghost has no consciousness and will completely recreate its appearance at the last moment of its life. Like the previous Zhao Pengfei, he looked like a drowned water ghost.

　　But no matter how Mu Yu looked, he felt that Li Muyang had no external injuries.

　　sudden death!

　　When they came to dinner a few days ago, they said that Li Muyang had been working hard from dawn to dusk on a big order and was very tired.

　　Moreover, Li Muyang's soul was different from the ghosts Mu Yu had seen before. It seemed unstable, and would occasionally shake like a TV with no signal.

　　This means that he died not long ago, maybe he is still breathing!

　　After realizing this, Mu Yu's heart was pounding. He slammed the glass door and shouted, "Wake up, what were you doing just now? Wake up!"

　　Li Muyang's banging on the door froze, and he actually began to recall:

　　"I'm hungry. I'm so hungry!"

　　"I'm so tired!"

　　"Overtime, yes, I want to work overtime, I can't stop, hold on a little longer, I want to work overtime to earn money to buy a house..."

　　It's really because of overtime!

　　If the soul leaves the body for too long, something bad will happen. Mu Yu first called the emergency number, and then gestured to Shi Wuzhi, "Take his soul and follow me."

　　He knew where Li Muyang worked, so if he went there quickly maybe he could save him!

　　The insurance company where Li Muyang works is only about three kilometers away from the restaurant and is right next to the vehicle management office.

　　Mu Yu drove the electric scooter with the momentum of an F1 car, and Shi Wuzhi behind him was following closely with Li Muyang's soul in his arms.

　　There were originally many public institutions in this area, but most of them later moved to the new city along with government agencies. Only companies like this that don't have high requirements for office locations remain, and the area is particularly quiet at night.

　　This insurance company is a long-established one in China. It came to Cannes many years ago and built its own office building, which is very impressive and has its own entrance and exterior.

　　It's past 12 o'clock now, and only the first floor of the fifth floor has lights on in the entire building. That should be where Li Muyang and his colleagues are working overtime.

　　Large patches of roses were in full bloom in the flower beds, and the air was filled with the warm fragrance of the flowers. Under normal circumstances, Mu Yu would have stopped to take a closer look, but today he felt the smell was a bit greasy.

　　He slammed the brakes and jumped off the electric scooter. Just as he was about to walk inside, a security guard stood up from behind a small table in the corner of the lobby, holding a bowl of half-eaten rice noodles with red oil in his hand.

　　"Stop, what are you doing?"

　　He didn't expect that the insurance company would have security guards at night, and he was immediately frightened.

　　It's really scary, scary to death!

　　"I have a friend who is working overtime in there and is about to die suddenly! Wuzhi, hurry up and save him!"

　　The return of the soul to the body is only a prerequisite. However, if the body's physiological functions stop functioning for too long, even if the soul returns, the person will just be a vegetable, trapped in the body for the rest of his life, which is even more painful than death.

　　We must get emergency treatment as soon as possible.

　　The security guard was also startled, and the rice noodle soup splashed on his clothes, "Young man, don't dare to say such things!"

　　A while ago, a rich man named Zhang died suddenly, and the excitement is not over yet. What would happen if such a thing really happened in the company?

　　And he has been guarding here the whole time. If someone really died suddenly, how could he not know?

　　Time was running out, so Mu Yu didn't have time to argue with him. He said to Shi Wuzhi, "Take his soul up first!"

　　If you are out of your body for too long, you can't go back.

　　Shi Wuzhi undoubtedly looked at him deeply, then looked at the security guard. Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock the man down, an alarm sounded from behind, "What's going on?"

　　It was a police officer who was patrolling nearby. He passed by here and saw people arguing, so he drove over.

　　Mu Yu shouted, "Comrade police, someone got into an accident while working overtime. The ambulance will be here in a while. We need to rush up and give first aid!"

　　The nearest hospital is nearly five kilometers away, so it would definitely not be as fast as taking a shortcut.

　　There were two policemen in the car. The younger one was in his twenties. He was probably just graduated from the police academy. He had never encountered such a situation before, so he subconsciously looked at his senior.

　　The older female police officer was about forty years old and had rich experience in handling cases. Seeing that Mu Yu was sweating profusely and didn't look like he was lying, she immediately raised her hand and led the way inside, "Saving people is the most important thing, go up and take a look."

　　If it is true, they rush to rescue people.

　　If it's fake, this guy can't escape.

　　The security guard didn't dare to stop the police, and quickly spoke a few words to his colleagues on the intercom.

　　When the elevator door opened, the security guard on patrol ran over in a hurry. "What's going on? What happened?"

　　The security guard made up his mind, "You take it first!"

　　After saying that, he bent down, walked into the slowly closing elevator door, and followed him up.

　　Looking at the slowly changing number of stairs in the elevator, Mu Yu felt that the days were passing by like years and he wished he could grow wings and fly.

　　Hurry, hurry, hurry, faster!

　　"Seventh Master, it's just ahead."

　　The newly appointed Bai Wuchang in Kangcheng checked the information on the scroll: Li Muyang, male, 28 years old, cause of death: overwork, location: Da'an Insurance Company.

　　Speaking of which, the number of people dying from overwork has increased dramatically in recent years.

　　It seems that life in the world of the living is not easy either.

　　Xie Bian hummed nonchalantly, "Let's go."

　　Because of the negligence of the person who took office, he failed to bring Zhao Pengfei back in time, resulting in him overstaying in the world of the living. He was so bold as to harass irrelevant living people, and was sent away by the City God to be punished. This person took office overnight, and he stayed behind for two days.

　　Little Wuchang kept stealing glances at Xie Bian along the way. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and was very shy.

　　Oh my god, I'm going out on a field trip with my idol!

　　He had been prepared to be a substitute for 100 years, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

　　Woohoo, thank you Qi Ye, my idol!

　　Look at this domineering aura, this surging ghost energy, it's absolutely amazing...

　　He used to dream with his friends who were also substitutes, "It would be great if we could get the autographed ghost robes of the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master someday."

Look at it now... In the future, there will be a highlight added to my resume: "I used to be a partner with Mr. Xie Qi"!

　　Double the happiness, my friends!

　　It turns out that you still have to have dreams, because you never know when they will come true!

　　As a result, when the two ghosts just arrived outside the insurance company, they saw police lights on below and an ambulance running towards them not far away.

　　The newly appointed Bai Wuchang was puzzled. According to the records in the Book of Life and Death, Li Muyang should have died quietly?

　　Where did the ambulance come from?

　　Shi Wuzhi inside had just found his target when a white chain suddenly shot out from the side and went straight to the soul of Li Muyang in his hand.

　　Without even turning his head, he drew his sword to block, and the chain bounced off and was caught by Xie Bian who sneaked in from outside the wall.

　　Tonight, Xie Bian was dressed in a white robe and a tall hat with the four big characters "See wealth in life" written on it. He was dressed exactly like Bai Wuchang.

He was still smiling, but this time it turned into a sneer, "If the King of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, who dares to keep you alive until five o'clock?"

　　Anyone who tries to stop Wuchang from arresting people must not be let off!

　　After saying that, he raised his hand and swung it, and the chain shot out again, wrapping around the sword.

　　At the same time, the newly appointed Xiao Wuchang grabbed Li Muyang's soul from the left.

　　In any case, let's get the soul of the deceased first.

　　It's not too late to deal with the things that hinder work.

　　Shi Wuzhi did not even raise his head, and with his left hand, he lifted Li Muyang's soul and slapped him, "Go!"

　　He turned his hand back and pushed his palm forward. In an instant, golden light became brighter and countless golden characters shone through his body, forming a bright, flowing wall of merit.

　　Those words were the result of his good deeds during his lifetime, recording the year, month, place, time and person he saved, and they were vast and endless.

　　Since the museum's touring exhibition, more people in later generations have learned about this young general who was once lost in the long river of history. Local people have even carved monuments and made statues for him, and people continue to go there to pay homage and mourn online. As a result, his merits and virtues have greatly increased and his golden light has become even brighter.

As soon as the hand that Xiao Wuchang stretched out touched the golden wall of merit, black smoke came out. He pulled his hand back in pain, "Ah!"

　　Merit is something that is recognized by the heaven and earth. Any mortal who obtains it can become a saint in the flesh.

　　Even though Shi Wuzhi died young and was slow to report to the underworld, he became a half-ghost, half-saint by accident, and his merits and virtues were rare in the world. How could a mere impermanence bear it?

　　On the other side, the Wall of Merit actually meandered up along Xie Bian's chain. The chain kept making a buzzing sound, as if it was under tremendous pressure.

　　The ghost messenger is extremely yin and the meritorious service is extremely yang, which are inherently incompatible. When they collide at this moment, sparks and lightning fly all the way.

　　The magnetic field in the office was instantly disrupted, and sparks flew from several chandeliers, startling several people who were working overtime.

　　"What the hell, what's going on?"

　　The chains of the Black and White Impermanence are their master's magical weapons and are closely related to their souls. Xie Bian suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if there was a fire burning.

　　Similarly, the evil spirit of the chain also flowed back along the sword into Shi Wuzhi's body.

　　However, he was originally half a ghost, and the ghost energy was more like a tonic to him. After absorbing it, the sword light not only did not weaken, but became even stronger.

　　Xie Bian: "…"

　　How the hell do we fight this?

　　In an instant, everything changed, and in just a short while, Li Muyang's soul had returned to his body.

　　At the same time, the little Wuchang was shocked to find that the scroll of life and death in his hand suddenly turned into ashes, "Seventh Master!"

The disappearance of the scroll of life and death proves that destiny has changed.

　　This person can't die.

　　Throughout thousands of years of history, there are very few people who have been able to change their fate.

　　Back then, Zhuge Liang was reluctant to leave the half-finished Shu Kingdom and even lit the Seven Star Lamp, but he was ultimately unable to resist the will of heaven and failed at the last moment. This actually happened to an ordinary person at this moment, which was simply unheard of.

　　Xiao Wuchang never expected that he would encounter such a big thing on his first night in office. When he thought of the miserable situation when his predecessor was exiled, he almost cried on the spot.

　　Will I become the shortest-serving impermanence figure in history?

　　Why is my life so miserable?

　　Watching the scroll of life and death turn to ashes, Xie Bian shook his wrist and pulled back the chain with a sullen face.

　　"Seventh Master..."

　　Xiao Wuchang asked weakly, what should we do?

　　The elevator dinged and Mu Yu and the others rushed out.

　　Xie Bian: "…"

　　Damn it, why is it you again?!

　　I asked you to come to the underworld to be a civil servant but you didn't come. Instead, you sabotaged me and poached my people without any instruction? !
