"Let's call it a day. Let's go back." The treeman's business came to an end. Xie Bian's next plan was to return to the underworld and see what work was left to do.
As Xie Bian spoke, his body also began to sway, as if he'd returned to hell in one breath.
However, Zhang Wu Ming, who always followed behind Xie Bian, didn't follow Xie Bian this time. Xie Bian quickly noticed that Zhang Wu Ming was just standing there in a daze.
"What are you doing?" Xie Bian knew that Zhang Wu Ming definitely didn't discover any ghosts around here. This brat's cultivation level wasn't even as high as his, and Xie Bian could definitely feel the evil aura that Zhang Wu Ming could sense.
Zhang Wu Ming was startled, as though he had made an extremely important decision in that instant.
"I'm not going back. I want to stay here. I want to stay in the city." Following the sound of his throat trembling, a sentence came out from his mouth.
Xie Bian glanced at Zhang Wu Ming, but his eyes were still as calm as before. "Is this really okay?" In the human world, you are unable to fully utilize your ability. Although your physique is special, there is no guarantee that you won't be affected by the yang energy of the human world. "
"No, after I returned to the Netherworld Kingdom, I felt that there would be some problems with my body. If that's the case, I might as well stay here and take care of you." Zhang Wu Ming continued.
If you want to stay, then stay, there's no need to give me any excuses to take care of you, but remember to be careful, although you as a ghost servant still haven't fully mastered it, but it looks like you are much better than the previous ghost servants, I still don't want to lose a capable subordinate like you. Xie Bian continued to speak calmly.
Zhang Wu Ming nodded, then Xie Bian drew a rune on his right palm with the index finger of his left hand.
"Eye of Oblivion, open!" Xie Bian muttered softly.
As Xie Bian spoke, an extremely exaggerated image of an eye appeared about 20 centimeters in front of him. It was certain that this glowing eye did not resemble a human's eye, it did not even resemble the eyes of any living creature in the mortal world.
Zhang Wu Ming, on the other hand, did not display any expression of surprise. When the two travelled back and forth from the human world and the underworld, he had to summon this thing to use as a transportation channel.
"I'm leaving. If anything happens, remember to contact me. I'll be back to reunite with you if I have a new mission." As Xie Bian spoke, the eye incantation started to move rapidly towards Xie Bian. Within two seconds, the eye had completely covered Xie Bian's body.
At the same time, Xie Bian's body disappeared without a single strand of hair remaining.
Even though Zhang Wu Ming's wish had been fulfilled, his heart was still beating wildly, of course he only felt that way, it was probably because of his memories from his past life that affected his way of thinking.
The first time he went there, he felt extremely uncomfortable, moreover, every time he went there, it was the same. Furthermore, that place was extremely eerie, with countless ghosts passing by every day. That strange aura of his made Zhang Wu Ming dislike it completely.
Although there was a beautiful Zhuo Jin, but her personality was strange, it did not match her innocent looks, and she always liked to do something that would make Zhang Wu Ming feel uncomfortable.
Although Zhang Wu Ming knew that he did not belong to this place, for some reason, he still wanted to stay here.
The next day, Zhang Wu Ming returned to his original company, the company that he snuck into to investigate the matter of Dong Tao and the rest.
It was no longer as lively inside the company as it was on Zhang Wuming's first day at work. There were still a lot of underworld money flying around outside the company that had not been completely burnt down.
"It's taboo for them to not burn all of the underworld money. These guys deserve to be pestered by the ghosts below." Zhang Wu Ming muttered to himself.
After entering the company, Zhang Wu Ming submitted his resignation application to the boss, since the incident with the tree demon was temporarily over, Zhang Wu Ming no longer needed to stay in this kind of place.
After knowing that Zhang Wu Ming decided to quit, the company did not try to urge him to stay. After all, everyone did not have much of an impression of Zhang Wu Ming, they only knew that Zhang Wu Ming was a small employee that worked here, and normally no one had anything with Zhang Wu Ming.
And with so many people dead, normal people must be planning to leave, right? It was said that even the company's boss was prepared to sell this place. Now that everyone was worried, naturally no one would pay attention to Zhang Wu Ming.
Zhang Wu Ming started to pack up some things on his desk, but then he noticed a fellow who looked like a reporter was interviewing an employee on the desk next to him.
The employee kept his mouth shut. He tried not to say anything as much as possible, as if he was afraid that if he did say it out loud, he would violate some kind of taboo.
The reporter also seemed to have been here for a long time, and it was obvious that he had no gains at all.
Finally, when the reporter left, everyone in the company started discussing the matter again.
"Do you know? The evidence of our colleague's murder was found by the police at Dong Tao's house! Even Dong Tao is dead! Aiya, my turtle! "
"F * ck, why would our company send such a person?" "He looks fine normally, but how can you say that he kills people just like that?"
"It's a good thing that he's already dead, otherwise we would be the ones to suffer!"
"Pui!" Hurry up and slap my face. What if he turns into a vengeful spirit and comes looking for revenge? Who knows what this guy is thinking? "
After saying this, the people in the company started to panic even more, but Zhang Wu Ming was still calmly packing up his things, because he knew Dong Tao would never come back.
The discussion continued, but no one mentioned anything about Xie Bian. Zhang Wu Ming understood Xie Bian's ability to sneak into a system without anyone noticing, making people in the system think that he was someone who had been here for a long time. As long as Xie Bian wanted to, he could change his identity.
If ordinary humans also had this sort of ability, then they would be able to enjoy the limelight and enjoy the rain. However, Xie Bian had no interest in this sort of thing. He would only do it when it was related to his work.
Since he was able to enter the system unbeknownst to anyone, his departure would also happen after the completion of the quest. Thus, Elder Xie Bian had long since disappeared from the company's memories. In such a large company, other than Zhang Wu Ming, no one else knew who Xie Bian was.
After Zhang Wu Ming packed everything up, there was no need for him to stay in this place any longer.
Carrying his belongings, Zhang Wu Ming left the company.
Zhang Wu Ming had to admit that the yin aura in the company was really too strong. After walking out of the company and looking at the bright sunlight, Zhang Wu Ming's mood finally improved.
After walking out of the company's entrance, Zhang Wu Ming turned right, and almost bumped into a shadow that walked out from the corner of the alley.
Fortunately, Zhang Wu Ming had stopped in time, so he did not bump into the person who suddenly walked out.
"Fortunately, the brakes were quick." Zhang Wu Ming slowly said.
It was also at this time that Zhang Wu Ming saw clearly that the person in front of him was a female police officer.
Turtle, and this is only the cops, it's fortunate that Zhang Wu Ming did not run into him, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
But since he did not run into her, Zhang Wu Ming wanted to leave quickly. Although this woman was pretty pretty, but Zhang Wu Ming did not want to offend such a person.
Just as Zhang Wu Ming was preparing to leave, the lady suddenly called out to Zhang Wu Ming.
"Hey, wait a moment." The woman suddenly said to Zhang Wu Ming.
Zhang Wu Ming immediately stopped, he did not think that he would actually offend such a person? I'm finished. I died before I could finish my apprenticeship.
The lady on the other hand, kept looking at Zhang Wu Ming. She did not know why, but she felt that Zhang Wu Ming looked familiar, as though she had seen him before.
"Uh, what's the matter?" Zhang Wu Ming tried his best to act calm as he spoke.
"Have we met before?" The woman said to Zhang Wu Ming.
To be honest, the development was a little strange, but Zhang Wu Ming still told the truth, "No."
After hearing Zhang Wu Ming say that, the woman thought that she had recognised the wrong person, so she quickly said: "Oh oh, then I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you."
After that, Zhang Wu Ming left, he did not want to waste too much time on such insignificant matters.
Night soon fell over the city, the surroundings were filled with lights and wine, it was a pity that this would only be a huge contrast to Zhang Wu Ming's mood.
Right now, Zhang Wu Ming was in a bar, cup after cup of bitter wine was slowly flowing from his mouth into his throat. These fragrant wines did not make Zhang Wu Ming happy, but instead made his originally heavy heart even heavier.
While he was still half drunk and half awake, the scene in front of Zhang Wu Ming seemed to have changed. The lights in the bar seemed to have changed, and a huge amount of mist surged towards him from all around, and Zhang Wu Ming started to see a scene he did not want to see.
Strictly speaking, to him, that was the place where all of his memories started, the place that he did not like the most. Although Zhang Wu Ming had already become a ghost servant, but he still did not like that place. It was precisely because of this that he did not choose to return with Xie Bian after completing this mission.
That place was the Yellow Springs, where Zhang Wu Ming's first memories started from. Of course, this so called "first", was nothing more than this to the current Zhang Wu Ming.
