"So that's how it is." Fang Dawei smiled again under Liang Jiamin's expectant gaze.
"The taxi driver who killed me was really a psychopath. I have been following him since I became a ghost. Jiamin, don't be afraid. I will come to find you as soon as I regain all my memories."
"Don't worry, he won't hurt you. He's in the police station across the street now. I'll kill him, so you don't have to be afraid, Jiamin."
Fang Dawei grinned widely, but the blood dripping from his chin made Liang Jiamin unable to calm her rapidly beating heart.
"Da... Wei, are you blaming me?" Liang Jiamin asked the question that had tortured her for two days, "Are you blaming me for asking you to cover for me? If not, you wouldn't see ghosts, and you wouldn't die."
Fang Dawei shook his head slowly, his tone full of surprise: "Of course not, Jiamin, you know I like you very much, I know you have a boyfriend, but I still want to help you."
"And if I wasn't covering for you, how could I have run into a ghost? Liang Kun gave me a large sum of money. It's all my fault that I was too impatient and wanted to share it with you."
"So I wanted to rush to St. Mary's University to find you, so I got in that taxi."
Fang Dawei's eyes were wide open, bulging out of his eye sockets, staring at Liang Jiamin intently: "Jiamin, can you break up with Xu Bowen now? Now that I've become a ghost, you will definitely like me."
Liang Jiamin, who was originally relieved when she heard Fang Dawei say that he didn't blame her, was worried again by what Fang Dawei said next.
"Dawei, feelings are very complicated. I always... I always think of you as my brother." Liang Jiamin said with a trembling voice, and her mouth couldn't help but tremble slightly, causing her upper and lower teeth to touch each other repeatedly.
Fang Dawei tilted his head, looking confused, and asked, "Jiamin, don't you like ghosts? Or am I not as good to you as Xu Bowen is to you?"
"It's different now than it was before. I knew I wasn't as good as Xu Bowen before, so I just wanted you to be happy."
"But it's different now. I can do whatever you want right away. Why don't you like me anyway?"
Before he finished speaking, visible black gas spread from Fang Dawei's body like diffused steam. Liang Jiamin's eyes widened, and the only thing in her field of vision was Fang Dawei, half of his body covered by black mist.
Zheng Wenjie stood outside the store and looked at Fang Dawei's body which had begun to transform into a fierce ghost, and the increasing negative energy. If he could continue to watch the show, it would be time for Fang Dawei to take action.
Liang Jiamin also saw that Fang Dawei was getting excited again, and she wanted to say something to comfort Fang Dawei while trembling. When she heard the sound of wind chimes, hope surged in her heart. She turned her head suddenly, took a long breath, and her body began to weaken. Her body, which had not slept for two days and one night, finally sent a signal that it wanted to rest.
Zheng Wenjie just watched Fang Dawei turn his head and look at him instantly, then raised his hand and prepared to press him to death, originally intending to let him take revenge and then send him to the underworld.
As a result, Fang Dawei did not seek revenge but instead went to find Liang Jiamin first and killed a living person who had nothing to do with him.
Zheng Wenjie didn't understand what Fang Dawei did, nor did he want to understand it, so he simply gave up the idea of extraditing him to the underworld and let his soul fly away.
"Sir, the ghost messenger! Wait, wait a minute!"
Fang Dawei woke up immediately when he saw Zheng Wenjie, and the Yin Qi was immediately taken back into his body, leaving only bloodstains on his face.
Zheng Wenjie slowly put down his raised hand, glanced at Liang Jiamin, who was leaning against the wall with a pale face, and looked at Fang Dawei indifferently.
"Sir Ghost Messenger, I...I..."
Fang Dawei was angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He was used to being cautious. Even though he became a ghost and possessed great power, he was still afraid of the legendary ghost messenger from the bottom of his heart.
Only then did he suddenly realize that he had just killed someone and had knocked that person's eyes into his own eyes. He fell to his knees in an instant.
Zheng Wenjie looked at Fang Dawei thoughtfully, walked up to him slowly, raised his foot and kicked him to the ground: "What do you want to say? Hurry up and say it."
"Sir Ghost, I seem to... I was wrong. I don't know why. I just... I just killed someone." Fang Dawei said tremblingly. The blood on his face disappeared, and the whole ghost seemed to be washed back to normal. If you didn't look closely, he was no different from a living person.
Zheng Wenjie half squatted down, looking curiously at Fang Dawei, who was about to become a fierce ghost, but his resentment disappeared just like that and he became an ordinary ghost, without even the power to kill people.
"Are you so timid?" Zheng Wenjie couldn't help laughing. He didn't even do anything, but he actually scared Fang Dawei so much that all his resentment disappeared, and even the negative energy that Liang Kun unconsciously left in his body disappeared along with it.
Liang Jiamin moved her feet and slowly leaned over the cashier counter. She leaned out her head and looked at Fang Dawei who had returned to normal. She asked, "Boss, has Dawei... become normal? What's going on?"
Zheng Wenjie looked down at Fang Dawei, who was still blaming himself for killing a stranger, and explained with a faint smile: "He was contaminated by the evil spirit of an evil ghost when he was alive, and coupled with his obsession after death, he is full of resentment."
"My mind will be corrupted, and I will be driven by instinct to fulfill my obsession."
"He just killed another person and absorbed his energy and vitality. He is already transforming into a fierce ghost."
Zheng Wenjie couldn't help laughing when he said this: "But I didn't expect that he would be so scared when he saw me that his resentment disappeared."
"Why are you afraid of me, boy?"
Fang Dawei looked up pitifully at Zheng Wenjie who was half-crouching facing him: "Of course I'm scared. I've died once, and it was such a tragic death."
"If I become a ghost and die again... I don't want to. You are a ghost catcher, you must have caught countless ghosts, so of course I am afraid."
Fang Dawei's tone and attitude at this time were the Dawei Liang Jiamin was familiar with. He said in a relaxed manner: "Dawei, I'm glad you're okay now."
"Okay, in that case I won't beat you to death. Let's go, I'll take you through the underworld." Zheng Wenjie stood up with a smile. He was just going to the underworld to ask the King of Hell A'cha what the method of collecting the Xuanyin Qi was.
Fang Dawei raised his head and looked at Zheng Wenjie eagerly, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Liang Jiamin's eyes kept wandering around Fang Dawei. Noticing Fang Dawei's expression, she hurriedly asked, "Dawei, what's wrong with you? Is there anything else?"
Fang Dawei looked at Liang Jiamin's clear yet tired eyes with gratitude and affection, until he felt embarrassed and lowered his head.
"Master Ghost Messenger, can I go get my eyes first?"
"What eyes? Aren't you here?" Liang Jiamin asked puzzledly. Fang Dawei now returned to his familiar appearance, and Fang Dawei had just said in person that he did not blame her.
Fang Dawei, who was not right just now, said so. Moreover, Fang Dawei, who was already thoroughly understood by himself, would not blame himself.
"I died after my eyes were dug out, so I didn't even have eyes after I died. Can I...get my eyes back before I die, so that I can have a complete body." Liang Jiamin blinked and looked at Zheng Wenjie who had a plain smile on his face: "Um, boss..."
"Where are your eyes?" Zheng Wenjie asked.
Fang Dawei pointed his finger in the opposite direction of the police station across the street: "After I woke up today, I heard the police say that my body had been transported to the antique warehouse, and I also heard them talking about the antique warehouse."
"The antique warehouse is where all police stations in Hong Kong store evidence, including bodies that have not yet been claimed. My case has not yet been judged, so my parents cannot claim my body."
Zheng Wenjie nodded: "Then you don't have to worry, just go on your way. Your parents won't let you die without a complete body. Even if you find your eyes, you won't be able to put them back in your current soul."
"You can be considered a good person?" Zheng Wenjie looked at Fang Dawei's eyes strangely: "At least you killed the person first before digging out his eyes."
"Sir Ghost, I really don't know why I killed him so cruelly just now! Can I... can I return his eyes to him?"
Liang Jiamin swallowed her saliva, glanced at Fang Dawei's eyes, and asked Zheng Wenjie: "Boss, since people will become ghosts and kill people after they die, why are those murderers just in jail? They are not sought out by ghosts for revenge."
Zheng Wenjie curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Any normal person can become a ghost after death, but most of them are ordinary ghosts."
"After the first seven days, anyone who does not resist the entrance to the underworld can enter the underworld, and the soul-collecting messengers will guard the entrance to the underworld and lead the new ghosts through the underworld to reincarnate."
"This type of ghost is the most common and most common. It has no power to interfere with reality and is invisible to the naked eye except in certain circumstances."
"Above are the ghosts that can interfere with reality. They have the power to kill people and can reveal their true form so that ordinary people can see them. We call these ghosts evil ghosts."
"In many cases, evil ghosts will conflict with their personalities in life, and resentment will constantly drive the evil ghosts to fulfill their evil thoughts."
"When an evil ghost kills a person and absorbs a person's spirit, its resentment will transform into magic power. This kind of ghost is called a fierce ghost in the underworld, and the more people it kills, the more powerful it becomes."
"Killing one person will make you feel stronger. This addiction is not something a normal evil spirit can resist. In addition, the ferrymen of the underworld are eager to catch the evil spirits in their respective areas. Under such great pressure, the evil spirits that escape will always kill a lot."
Zheng Wenjie explained it in detail so that Liang Jiamin could understand more about the matter and be able to serve him better and handle the affairs of Convenience Store No. 138.
Zheng Wenjie looked at Fang Dawei, who was sitting cross-legged after being kicked by him. "As for him, under normal circumstances, he should become an ordinary ghost after death, but the Yin power of an evil ghost was unconsciously integrated into his body."
"With the lead, plus the fact that his death was tragic and innocent, I concluded that he would become a ghost and seek revenge on the person who killed him."
Zheng Wenjie crossed his chest with one hand and raised his other hand to stroke his chin: "What I didn't expect was that his obsession was not revenge, but liking you? Or rather, wanting to see you."
Liang Jiamin laughed in her heart...her expression remained unchanged: "I understand, boss. No wonder I have been investigating supernatural events for so long, and so many murderers are only in jail, and there are very few reports of people being killed by ghosts."
"Then Boss, what will happen to Dawei in the underworld?"
"How is it?" Zheng Wenjie looked at Liang Jiamin indifferently, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"Boss, can you please plead for him when you take him to the underworld? He turned into a ghost and killed someone. Even if I'm stupid, I know he will be punished in the underworld."
Fang Dawei looked at Liang Jiamin with gratitude. As expected, Jiamin also had a good impression of me, but it was only because my conditions were not as good as Xu Bowen that Jiamin became Xu Bowen's girlfriend.
Unfortunately, he was just a little short of that huge sum of money, which would have guaranteed him the chance to marry Jiamin.
Zheng Wenjie shook his head: "If he went to seek revenge, I could still show mercy, but he obviously had the ability to seek revenge, but he chose not to go, and instead came to you to kill someone who had nothing to do with him."
Zheng Wenjie sneered and shook his head: "The judges below can make whatever decisions they want. As the ferryman of the underworld, how can I violate the law when I am the first ghost I personally sent down?"
Fang Dawei shook his body, but thinking that Liang Jiamin was still in front of him and could still see him, he could not reveal his cowardly side and had to be strong.
Fang Dawei slowly floated up, looking at Liang Jiamin reluctantly, and told her the address where Liang Kun hid the money, and then said sincerely: "Jiamin, I can't protect you anymore, you must take care of yourself."
"You should keep this money. If Xu Bowen lets you down in the future, you will still have some pocket money to take care of yourself."
Liang Jiamin was deeply moved when she heard Fang Dawei's last words. Tears flowed down her cheeks as if they were worthless. She cried, "Dawei, I'm sorry! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have died. I'm sorry."
Fang Dawei shook his head and looked at Liang Jiamin with admiration. He was going to the underworld, but he was able to confess his love to her one last time, and he felt satisfied.
She walked out of the convenience store behind Zheng Wenjie and heard the noise of Liang Jiamin chasing after her. She forced herself not to turn her head to look at Liang Jiamin and raised her head to look at the red moon in the sky.
"Why is the moon so red tonight?"
Hearing Fang Dawei's words, Liang Jiamin looked up while crying. The bright moonlight shone, and a crescent moon with a missing part hung in the sky.
"The moon is not red."
Zheng Wenjie also looked up at the pure white moonlight and explained softly: "The moon that people see after they die is always a red moon."
After saying that, Zheng Wenjie glanced at Fang Dawei with disgust from the corner of his eye. If Liang Jiamin wasn't worried that she might not be fully responsible for Convenience Store No. 138 in the future, he really wanted to beat Fang Dawei to death.
The money that Liang Kun gave him was not given for free, it was a transaction.
He had promised to provide for Liang Kun's mother's retirement after getting the money, but now he only told Liang Jiamin the address where he hid the money.
Fang Dawei could say that he was dead and the deal with Liang Kun was no longer valid. That was certainly possible, but for them it was a huge sum of money.
Zheng Wenjie heard Liang Jiamin say that she was scolded by Fang Dawei's parents who were almost going crazy, and she also felt guilty about it, so she moved into the convenience store.
Fang Dawei didn't even consider his parents who are still renting government housing. If not all of it, at least half of it will be ok, right?
Revenge? No! He could be filial to his parents, but he didn't do so. Liang Jiamin was all he could think about during his lifetime and after his death.
Zheng Wenjie smiled as Fang Dawei and Liang Jiamin said goodbye to each other, and then nervously followed him and slowly left Liang Jiamin's sight. (End of this chapter)
