Chapter 300: Chapter 298: No. 22
Chapter 298: No. 22
No. 444 and the devil watched these with the same indifference on their face. They precisely don’t care about how things unfold and only when the room went into silence that No. 444 stepped forward.
"They died, right?! They’re dead, right?" The ghost fell into craziness. He frowned but used teleportation again to transfer them towards the ground floor of the building where they saw the huge commotion about the two naked bodies laying dead in a pool of blood.
The people still look terrified as they watch the police handling the gruesome tragedy.
"Ha!" The ghost snorted and began laughing loudly as if she heard a joke. "It’s just right for you!" The expression on her face is really distorted. It was a mixture of relief but also despair. As she continue laughing
No. 444 stepped forward again and spoke. "Since you already got what you want, then come with me."
However the ghost woman seems to have completely lost her mind. The aggressive resentment completely swallowed all the remaining rationality and she transformed her into an evil spirit. This is also the reason why she managed to push the man earlier because if it were an ordinary ghost, she could not do it.
The two adultery’s souls also came out from their corpses and became ghosts. They were still in front of their own bodies while trying to cover the dead bodies, not only out of horror but also humiliation.
Their naked bodies were totally exposed to everyone and some were even filming boldly while they’re talking to each other.
"Do you think this is a normal accident? Judging from the marks on their bodies, it’s obvious that they just finished something."
"I think it’s either they are doing it boldly on the balcony and the woman slipped. If they’re a couple and the man saw his lover fall off the building, maybe he couldn’t take it and jump too. Or these two are adulterers who were caught and someone pushed them."
The last sentence was just a nail on the head.
"I think the latter is correct. The position of their body is also a point. They have their backs on the ground. If it’s an accident, the man’s position has to face the ground if he had jumped, but he was the same as the woman. It’s really either an accident or a crime."
"But the faces are very familiar. Does that woman look a bit like a woman from a prominent background? That sole heiress? I think this is her cousin whom she doted on very much. And the man also looks the same as the heiress’s fiance?"
Hearing those words only intensifies the whispers around. They indeed saw these faces on the internet a few days ago because that heiress is very proud of doting on her cousin and fiance at the same time. Her lavish expense to them went even viral for a moment and countless felt envy.
Now looking at this situation, isn’t it obvious that these two were adulterers? At instant, the eyes that bore pity for the two wavered and some even had a subtle mockery.
Seeing this, the two became even crazier. Now they can’t do anything to salvage their reputation anymore!
The woman’s bloody appearance looks very hideous and she turns her head towards the other woman who turned into an evil spirit.
"How dare you kill me!" She wanted to attack when all of the sudden, two golden magic circles appeared under them and a golden chain also flew from it, suddenly wrapping their arms and legs.
They were astonished but in the next second, they both screamed in pain when those chains seemed like they were burning them.
"AHHH! Let go!"
"I-It hurts!"
And it wasn’t No. 444’s doing at all. The moment the magic circles appeared, a grim reaper emerged.
"No. 444, what are you doing?" A grim reaper wearing white robe with black gradient down the hem of his clothes. There was no armor on his back but instead he is carrying a white fan on his left hand. The man’s appearance seems to be very different from No. 444.
This grim reaper is named No. 22, also a senior grim reaper who is also well-known in the underworld because of his easy going and gentleman-like temperament. He is known as someone who helps the junior grim reapers the most, especially in guiding them how to deal with their job properly.
If No. 444 has a lone and indifferent temperament with his cold face, No. 22 always has a smile and looks very approachable.
However at this moment, No. 22 has no smile on his face. He’s frowning while looking at No. 444 whom he always known as someone who won’t fail on a job like this.
"No. 444, why did you let her kill someone? And it’s even two!"
"That’s what she wished for." No. 444’s face was calm but his words stunned No. 22.
"What did you say?" His voice sounds as if he heard something shocking.
"The Judge told me to listen to these souls so they would voluntarily follow me. I did it."
"...." No. 22’s face cracked.
"You are crazy." He exhales in disbelief. "Haven’t you always followed the rules of the dead is for the dead and the living is for the living? Why did you let her affect human life? That was your principle!" He couldn’t help but start yapping with a dumbfounded face.
"What you’re doing now is completely wrong!" He frustratingly pointed out the evil spirit. "Now not only she cannot follow you but she has to be directly dragged into hell due to the sins in her hand! She can no longer reincarnate!"
No. 444 finally frowned. "I know, but the Judge said it is very important to listen to their wishes."
"And that includes harming others?"
No. 444 sighed and nodded. "I apologized. Next time, I will make sure they won’t let other people die."
"???" No. 22 was thunderstruck. So he meant that he will still let ghosts harm people?!
He was flabbergasted and could only wave his hand to let the two ghosts be dragged inside the magic circle and they vanished completely in the human world to receive punishments below.
"Deal with her." He pointed to the evil spirit.
"Okay." No. 444 also dealt with the evil spirit the same as what he did and the environment finally turned to peace.
"We’ll go ahead." No. 444 wanted to go back hunting some monsters again but the latter let them.
"No. Wait until you’ll understand well what the Judge wants you to do. Before that, you cannot hunt monsters." No. 22’s face turned serious.
"Why?"
"Didn’t you want to follow the Judge’s words to you? Then you must do well on this or else you will get called again."
No. 444 felt annoyed but he knew that it’s also true.
"Thank you, No. 22." he could only say. However, the man’s lips twitched at his call.
"What No. 22? I have a name for myself." He opened the white fan with his finger and fanned himself lightly. His eyes darted between No. 444 and the suspicious man behind him. He didn’t ask for the latter’s identity and instead just stretched his hand towards his fellow grim reaper.
"You can call me Ji." He tilted his head. "How about you? What’s your name?"
No. 444 was stunned. His name?
