Chapter 15 Chatterbox Interrogation — Ghosts: Vow of Silence

These four characters looked so familiar. It seemed that she had seen them somewhere before. Tan Yuxi, who was usually not very thoughtful, finally started to think and recall. Then she took another look at the other hat that Xie Yizhi was wearing. There were also four square characters written on it: 'Peace Under Heaven'! 'Peace Under Heaven' and 'See You and Get Rich', one black and one white...

"Are you kidding me? They're like the Black and White Impermanence!" Tan Yuxi exclaimed. No wonder it looked so familiar! Before the hats were put on, all the ghost passengers were staring intently at Tan Yuxi and surrounding her. But as soon as the hats were on, the ghost passengers scattered in a panic and shrank into the corners of the bus, looking at Xie Yizhi and Tan Yuxi with fear.

"These are simple official hats of the Yin officials, combined with imperial decrees."

"Now, in their eyes, we should be no different from the Black and White Impermanence," Xie Yizhi explained. Among the ten great Yin marshals, the soul - fetching messengers in the underworld, the most renowned ones are Fan Wuju, the Black Impermanence, and Xie Bi'an, the White Impermanence. Wherever their names are mentioned, as long as there are ghosts, none of them are not afraid.

There was no other way. After looking around the bus, there were no other useful things. He could only borrow the prestige of the Black and White Impermanence to bluff these ghost passengers on the bus. It seemed to be working for now. As soon as Xie Yizhi and Tan Yuxi stood there wearing the hats, the ghost passengers didn't dare to move at all. They curled up in various corners of the bus, shivering all over, for fear that the two of them would get angry.

"Is that so? Are they really that powerful?!" Tan Yuxi's eyes lit up. No wonder Xie Yizhi was so calm folding the newspapers when she was almost torn apart by the ghosts. It turned out that he had such powerful means. Look at how scared these ghosts were... It was so satisfying to scare the ghosts!

She also remembered that in the police station office, even Yan Xu, the specially hired paranormal consultant, couldn't help but marvel when he watched the live broadcast recording. The Xie Yizhi she knew in high school gave her the impression of being sunny and enthusiastic. Even when he was criticized, made to stand in the corner, or even announced publicly, it was very difficult to see a trace of bad mood on his face. It seemed that all things were not a big deal in his eyes. He had an infectious power that she couldn't feel in others.

After seeing him again after four years, Xie Yizhi had become more reserved and reliable. Although he was still a bit unreliable at times, as long as he said something, it made people firmly believe in him. He was mysterious and powerful.

"So, it means they should be afraid of us now, right?" Tan Yuxi tilted her mouth, and Xie Yizhi knew that this woman must have some bad ideas in her mind. Having been scared for a long time, Tan Yuxi had already accumulated a lot of resentment. Now that the situation had finally reversed, would she let go of this good opportunity easily?

She was no longer afraid and swaggered forward, pointing at the ghost passenger in front of her and saying, "You! Stand up!"

"It was you who suddenly got so close to me just now, right?"

"And you, you grabbed my hand so hard that it turned purple. You stand up too!"

The two ghosts pointed out by Tan Yuxi looked at each other, stood up in fear, and put their hands together, constantly begging for mercy from Tan Yuxi. They had completely lost their previous fierce and indifferent appearance. After all, in their eyes, Tan Yuxi was the White Impermanence herself at this moment, and a single spit from her could drown them both.

Seeing that the "White Impermanence" started to catch the ghosts, the other ghosts on the bus were shaking with fear. The ghostly cries came one after another, making Tan Yuxi's hair stand on end. But upon careful thought, what else did she need to be afraid of? She immediately put on an imposing manner and shouted coldly, "What are you yelling about?!"

"Shut up?"

All the ghosts: "We won't speak! (Pretending to smoke Zhonghua cigarettes)"

Xie Yizhi: "..."

If this woman hadn't become a police officer, she would definitely have been a great kindergarten teacher. She had trained the ghosts to be like robots.

The ghost bus became quiet.

"Come on, you two face each other and look into each other's eyes. Whoever laughs first, I'll beat them up!" Tan Yuxi really had a lot of ideas.

The two ghosts really obediently followed Tan Yuxi's words, kneeling and looking at each other and then standing up. The scene was really a bit ridiculous, and even Xie Yizhi beside them could hardly hold back his laughter.

"Pfft..." Looking at the male ghost with sparse and flowing hair, a swollen mouth and a crooked face, yet still looking serious, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tan Yuxi rolled up her sleeves and was about to take action, but Xie Yizhi beat her to it and flicked the forehead of the pregnant ghost.

"Ouch!!" The pregnant ghost's forehead smoked from the pain, and a big bump appeared.

Then, Tan Yuxi was pulled by Xie Yizhi, who said in a low voice, "That's enough. We're just pretending now. It's a sleight of hand, you know?"

"We're not really the Black and White Impermanence. You should restrain yourself."

Tan Yuxi: "Okay, bro."

This feeling was like a primary school student player who was stuck in the novice village and accidentally logged into his cousin's fully leveled account while on vacation at home. If she didn't send a few big announcements on the public screen of the server at this time, there would be a sense of regret for a lifetime.

Xie Yizhi: "..."

Tan Yuxi scratched her head. But after thinking carefully, she still felt that there was a problem. Something wasn't right. Why could Xie Yizhi hit the ghosts? Just now, when Tan Yuxi threw a punch with all her strength, it went right through the male ghost's face, and she couldn't hit it at all.

Before Tan Yuxi could ask, Xie Yizhi said first, "Don't act rashly. I can take you back as soon as we get out of the tunnel."

It wasn't that Xie Yizhi didn't dare to take action. At a glance, there were at least dozens of ghost passengers on the bus. If only he himself had been pulled here, he could force his way back, and these evil ghosts couldn't stop him. But the problem was that there was also Tan Yuxi.

Although Xie Yizhi had learned a lot, it was all just theoretical knowledge after all. Except for the last time with Xiaobai, this was his second encounter with ghosts. It was just that his psychological quality was okay. Otherwise, for other people, even if they could see the situation clearly, when faced with dozens of ghosts, how could they not be panicked?

There was also the most important point. The ghost bus they were on now had already had an accident back then. However, the passengers in the bus didn't want to accept that they were actually dead. So they had been repeating the things they did when they were alive.

Just like the pregnant ghost just now, how could she still have a stomachache when she was already a ghost? She was just instinctively restoring the scene of her life before death. In the original scenario, when she had a stomachache, no one paid attention to her. But Tan Yuxi, who was accidentally pulled into the ghost bus, didn't know the situation and went up to show concern, disrupting the original plot. Naturally, she was regarded as an outsider.

That is to say, this bus didn't actually exist. It was more like a manifestation of resentment. Even if Xie Yizhi blew up the ghost bus, as long as the resentment still existed, it would appear again.

At present, the most crucial thing was that they still hadn't found out what the medium was that pulled Tan Yuxi into the ghost bus, or who had set up this intentional trap. It was obviously not beneficial to act rashly. It was enough to intimidate the ghost passengers in the bus and ensure their safety for now. Once they left the tunnel and the specific environment was broken, they could naturally get out safely.

...

In the tunnel, the bus was speeding forward. Except for Xie Yizhi and Tan Yuxi, no one else felt anything unusual. Those who were playing with their phones or sleeping were the same as before, with no changes at all.

Fu Yingxue was still "crunch crunch" eating snacks. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. Only then did she realize that Tan Yuxi and Xie Yizhi had actually fallen asleep leaning against each other without her noticing!
