New Times, New Hell

Ch16 - Ghost Imaging Technology

He gave them a thumbs up and kept praising, "Truly, the times are changing. Even the technology for removing evil and catching ghosts has become so top-notch. Kudos to the youth."

Upon seeing his hesitation, Daoist priest Mu cut in, "Naturally, we'll help him move on."

This was part of the normal execution process. Father Chen had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run before. He nodded his head too, "Oh, yes. We must help him move on."

Then we'll take him back and pretend we're going to help him move on, Yu Zhengdu thought. He was about to say something in response, when the handcuffed ghost suddenly started crying, "Don't, don't make me move on. I still have things I haven't accomplished......"

Nobody at the scene could hear the ghost crying except Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que. They only felt that the room had dropped a couple of degrees in temperature again. The Chen siblings were still holding onto each other, only for Chen Sijie to scream and ask, "Why is it so cold, did the ghost escape again?"

"No, he's just a little agitated," Yu Zhengdu explained, and then imitated how his coworkers questioned criminal ghosts. He put his hands on his hips and yelled, "Now you feel regret? Why didn't you think of this when you started doing evil?"

The Chens were originally terrified, but upon seeing Yu Zhengdu scold the air, they went: "......"

Yu Zhengdu waved his fist in the air. "Ghosts like you who have done wrong are in no position to bargain. You should be grateful we haven't beaten you up yet!"

Everyone: "......"

While everyone was still confused, Yu Zhengdu suddenly turned his head back and looked at Father Chen strangely. "Mr. Chen, this ghost says he wants to speak with you."

Father Chen's neck muscles tightened. "What do you mean speak? What does this ghost want to do to me?"

Yu Zhengdu: "He says he's your friend."

Father Chen immediately waved his hands. "Bullshit. Where would I find a ghost to be my friend?"

Yu Zhengdu crossed his arms in front of his chest. "He said his name is Hao Wentao."

Father Chen was stunned. "What?"

After hearing this, Chen Siyu and Chen Sijie looked at each other and finally let go. The fear on their faces was replaced with confusion. Chen Siyu was quite disbelieving: "Uncle Wentao?"

Father Chen really did have a friend called Hao Wentao. He was an associate at a private law firm, and exceptionally good at his work. He was also often busy, always staying up late to work overtime. Eventually, he unfortunately passed away due to overworking himself, half a year ago.

Because it had been a while since the incident, Father Chen couldn't react in time. He asked numbly a moment later, "Is it really Wentao?"

Yu Zhengdu thought about it and then said, "How would I know. I don't recognize him......"

Father Chen briefly pondered, then declared sternly, "It can't possibly be Wentao. Wentao was my good friend, he wouldn't harm me. This ghost is lying!"

Yu Zhengdu looked at the ghost. The ghost had become frantic, waving its arms around. "I really am Hao Wentao, I'm not lying."

Father Chen watched as the handcuffs moved up and down, clinking with the movements. He felt growing apprehension.
