Chapter 796: Chapter 65: Heavenly Master and the Former Slacker 65
"Do they still need to be put to rest?" Yan Qing immediately caught on.
"Yes. I think we should catch more first, and then ask about their wishes after we’re done." Cui Wenyan took out the Spirit Binding Bag and put the caught ghosts inside.
"Makes sense. Catch first, ask questions later." Yan Qing nodded.
"Then let’s split up." Cui Wenyan pointed to the other end of the corridor and said.
"Are you sure you can handle it? Do you really not want me to go with you?" Yan Qing asked with some concern. Cui Wenyan was the youngest Ghost Hunter in this competition, and he really wasn’t comfortable with her going alone. Especially after hearing that Cui Wenyan had only been learning ghost hunting for less than three months.
"No need, don’t worry." Cui Wenyan shook her head.
"Alright then, remember to call me if anything happens. You can give me a call too." Yan Qing reminded.
"Okay, hurry up. You said you wanted to get first place. For the sake of your cookies, go for it!" Cui Wenyan urged.
"Alright, I’m going. Go, go!" Yan Qing finally turned and ran off in the other direction.
In front of the monitors, the judges and the Ghost Hunter audience watched the scene, understanding that the competition had truly begun. Soon, the other participating Ghost Hunters also realized the purpose of this competition. But many people made different choices than Cui Wenyan.
Their choice was to put each ghost to rest immediately after catching it.
In the matter of putting spirits to rest, the monks clearly had the advantage. There were a few monks participating in the competition, and after catching a ghost, they put it to rest on the spot. They then used a Guiding Talisman to send the spirit to the Underworld to report in. Of course, there were also spirits who awoke and refused to report in, saying they had unfinished wishes that needed to be fulfilled first.
With simple wishes, it was manageable, but with difficult wishes, it was a headache.
Cui Wenyan caught another ghost.
A ghost in front of her babbled on, "I want to eat the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, and I want to eat dragon meat and sea cucumber. I must have these. After I eat, I’ll go report to the Underworld. If you don’t give me food, I’ll eat your flesh." Then it opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs.
Another ghost clamored, "Go call XX for me and have them kiss me, then I’ll report to the Underworld. Otherwise, you can reluctantly kiss me a hundred times." (XX is the name of a superstar who was popular ten years ago.)
Yet another ghost wailed, "I want a girlfriend, I want lots of girlfriends. Go find me ten or eight. They have to be white, rich, and beautiful. Not white, not beautiful, not rich, I don’t want! For every ten minutes you’re late, add one more girlfriend. Hurry, or I’ll bite you to death!" After speaking, it opened its mouth too, showing fangs.
Cui Wenyan understood that in this mental hospital, there were indeed normal people who had been falsely imprisoned and tortured, but there were also quite a few actual mental patients inside.
What to do in such cases? Reasoning with them is impossible, and fulfilling their wishes is even more impossible.
So what to do?
Just beat them up.
If once isn’t enough, twice.
Cui Wenyan thought of it and did it, taking out the Peach Wood Sword and giving these ghosts a good beating.
The ghosts yowled from the beating, then held their heads and cried bitterly.
Through their tears and howls, they said, "We’re wrong, we’re wrong, can’t we just report to the Underworld?"
Cui Wenyan: "..." She really wondered whether these ghosts were truly dumb or just pretending, they seemed pretty smart, didn’t they?
After putting these ghosts into the Spirit Binding Bag, the numbers on her bracelet still hadn’t changed. It seemed she needed to send all these ghosts to the Underworld for reincarnation before it counted. Cui Wenyan thought about it and decided to call Wei Yu at the end. Otherwise, calling him early to wait idly by wasn’t good either.
