Chapter 448: Return to Hell!

Zhou Ze walked over and picked up the whip that had fallen to the ground. Boss Zhou couldn’t believe it.

The arrogant ghost messenger was so cowardly when he met a malicious spirit?

Although the nine malicious spirits were indeed difficult to deal with, it wasn’t impossible to turn the situation around with this whip.

Even a fool could see that this whip had a natural restraining effect on the ghosts in the fog.

It was a shame that Zhou Ze and Lawyer An were so cautious before. If they had known that the fellow was so good-looking and useless, they would have directly taken him down.

At that time, the doubts about the memorial arch and the fog would be answered.

All of a sudden, Zhou Ze felt someone jabbing his waist with a finger.

He turned his head and saw Lawyer An. “What’s wrong?”

“Boss, look over there.”

Zhou Ze turned his head over. He found that the nine female ghosts were staring at him with great vigilance.

Obviously, when Zhou Ze picked up the whip, they had already tacitly assumed that Zhou Ze was the one who wanted to force them.

The evil spirits were very emotional because they were already dead. After losing their existence and the restraints that only living people had, they had become pure as children.

Now the situation was very obvious. If he continued to hold the whip, he would most likely be attacked by these nine evil spirits.

Perhaps, this was the reason why that fellow threw away the whip when he was escaping.

Boss Zhou was really reluctant to throw away the whip. He was afraid of being poor. He had finally found something that could be considered a spiritual artifact.

Should he throw it away just like that? It was too wasteful!

“Hehehe…”

The nine evil spirits were slowly approaching Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

Lawyer An seemed to have understood something. He shook his head and stood beside Zhou Ze, facing the nine female spirits that were slowly pressing down on him.

Humans die for wealth. birds die for food.

Boss Zhou couldn’t bear to throw this whip away.

He opened the whip and waved it at the ground.

“Bang!” An explosion sounded.

The nine female ghosts showed a pained expression all at the same time.

What surprised Zhou Ze was that he had never played with a whip before. Lawyer An might have played with one before. The little whip seemed very light. As he played with the little whip, it seemed to submit to him.

In short, it wouldn’t hurt him just because he wasn’t familiar with the whip.

What to do? I like this whip more!

“Pa! PA! Pa!”

Zhou Ze’s hands itched. He waved it a few more times.

The female ghosts’ expressions became even more painful. They began to prostrate themselves on the ground. They wailed and cried.

Eh? They were subdued just like that?

Even Lawyer An, who was watching from the side, felt a little shocked.

It can’t be, right?

If these female ghosts couldn’t stand being whipped casually, how did they dare to make a move on that guy before?

‘Could it be that because their boss is the real ghost messenger, and that guy just now was not a ghost messenger? He must have been an imposter.’ Lawyer An thought in his heart.

It seemed to be the case. Which ordinary ghost messenger would come here to collect ghosts at this time?

Moreover, when they encountered a malicious spirit, what kind of ghost messenger would throw away their whips and run away?

Zhou Ze took a step forward. The female ghosts fell to the ground in extreme pain. Their painful expressions became more intense.

Unfortunately, Lawyer An was not an experienced one. This made Zhou Ze feel a little regretful. If an Old Master was here, he would shamelessly flatter them. Then, he would glare back at them.

Zhou Ze’s heart was still comfortable.

However, the memorial arch behind Zhou Ze and Lawyer An began to shake violently at that moment.

Before the two of them could turn their heads back and take a closer look, they felt the wind around them begin to blow again.

A kind of scalp-numbing pain assaulted them once again!

Yin Wind. It was that damned Yin wind again!

The thick fog seemed to be contracting. It started to gather in this direction crazily. All of it converged into the memorial arch.

The terrifying wind was even more intense than the first time Zhou Ze and the others experienced the Yin Wind!

Perhaps it was because of the distance. That time, they were only slightly affected by it from afar. Now, the two of them were at the center of the typhoon!

The nine female ghosts let out a shrill cry. Then, their bodies surged into the archway. There was no room for resistance at all.

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An lay on the ground together. The two of them held tightly onto the rocks on the ground.

“If you can use a vacuum cleaner, why did you use a broom to sweep the floor just now?” Zhou Ze shouted.

To be able to directly use a vacuum cleaner in such an overbearing manner if that wasn’t taking off his pants and farting, then what was it?

“Boss, the map under the archway has changed.” Lawyer An shouted with difficulty.

Zhou Ze raised his head and looked. As expected, the light screen that was similar to the Taiji diagram of the Yin and Yang had completely turned black at this moment. It was like the mouth of a giant beast that was crazily swallowing all the souls nearby!

There was an extremely familiar aura within it that Zhou Ze was exuding.

It was the aura of Hell! This memorial archway was connected to the real Hell!

This feeling was very awkward. It was as if this memorial archway had suddenly changed its channel. It was previously a private illegal channel, but now it was an official legal channel.

Zhou Ze couldn’t hold on any longer under the terrifying suction force. The feeling of being about to be torn apart felt was torture.

Lawyer An wasn’t any better either. His entire face was the color of a pig’s liver. “Boss… After you…”

Lawyer An stretched out his hand, intending to slap Zhou Ze.

Both of them couldn’t hold on any longer. Thus, Lawyer An planned to send Zhou Ze in first.

Unexpectedly, the whip was faster than his hand. It directly lashed at Lawyer An’s back.

“Hiss…”

Lawyer An called out, “Boss… You!”

His soul directly left his body and headed toward the memorial arch.

Zhou Ze gritted his teeth and held on for another two seconds. He felt his vision go black!

The light of the memorial archway dissipated after about ten minutes. The memorial archway began to slowly fall off and turn into dust.

The two men’s bodies were still stuck to the ground. One of the men reached out and put his hand on the other man’s shoulder. The other man was still holding a leather whip that caused people to daydream.

The mountain wind blew past. The two of them didn’t move at all.

“Phew!”

He suddenly woke up as if he was in a dream. When he opened his eyes, Zhou Ze found himself standing in a pile of ruins.

He seemed to be at the once magnificent place of the Waterside Pavilion. Now, there was only a pile of rubble left.

He staggered to his feet and looked up at the familiar blood moon above his head. Zhou Ze knew that he had come to Hell.

However, this area did not look like the road to the Underworld. There was no pond or a faceless woman. It was an unfamiliar area that he had never been to before.

Not far away, Lawyer An was stuck in rock as if he was upside down. Zhou Ze walked over. He grabbed his leg and pulled him back like pulling a carrot.

“Hu hu… Hu Hu…”

Lawyer An woke up. He looked around and immediately jumped up in fright.

“Damn it, it’s really Hell again! It’s over! It’s over now!”

Lawyer An was a person who was willing to take the blame. Everyone could turn a blind eye to some smuggling in the world of the living. It was just like how many corrupt officials emigrated to other countries. Every year, only a minority of them could be extradited back to their country to be punished by the law.

However, if you ran back to the country recklessly, you can’t blame the law for being lax.

This was the situation Lawyer An was in right now. He had not returned to Hell for a long time. What if some patrol inspector or judge sensed his aura now that he had returned? They would probably arrest him without a second thought and take him back to claim the credit.

“Hey, stop shouting. Where exactly is this place?”

Lawyer An calmed down and looked around carefully. He said doubtfully, “I don’t know either.”

“Didn’t you once work in Hell?”

“Do you know how big Hell is? Many places in Hell are places that even the people in the company of Yin can’t enter. For example, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Diting peak, and the Tentacles of the Company of Yin don’t even dare to stretch out.

“I have never been to this place before.”

Lawyer An thought for a moment and said, “Let’s leave this place first and quickly find the road to the Underworld. This way, we can return to the world of the living. Most importantly our souls are here but our bodies are still in the wilderness. If something happens to our bodies, we will be in an awkward situation. We would return to being ghosts.”

Zhou Ze nodded. Yes, the body was still more important.

Just as the two of them were about to find an exit to find the road to the Underworld, there was a series of small, shattering sounds from the pile of rubble in front of them.

Lawyer An immediately signaled for them not to move. The two of them squatted down in the pile of rubble.

The small, shattering sounds began to grow louder. An old woman holding a lantern walked out from a distance. There was a group of women holding peach blossom paper umbrellas and wearing cheongsam behind her.

The women’s thighs were faintly discernible under the cheongsam with every step they took. Their steps and postures were graceful. They looked like models walking on a fashion runway. They were so exquisite.

Zhou Ze had seen these women before!

Zhou Ze was about to speak but Lawyer An immediately reached out to cover Zhou Ze’s mouth. He said in a lowered voice at the same time, “Boss, I know what you want to say. I’ve seen it too. We can’t let them see us. You don’t know their identities, they are…”

“Wu Wu Wu!”

“Boss, stop fooling around!” Lawyer An was anxious. “I know you’ve seen these beautiful ladies before but this isn’t the time for you to show off!”

Zhou Ze pointed behind him.

“Uh-huh?”

“Back there.”

Lawyer An looked back and was immediately dumbfounded.

There were nine female ghosts behind the two guys. They were the female ghosts that were sucked in together.

At that moment, the nine female ghosts seemed to wake from their stupor. The first thing they did was to open their hands and scream, “Ah Ah Ah Ah!!!”

“…” the lawyer.
