You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 105 I am not a ghost, I am just a spirit leaving my body!

let……

Let Fang Boyang have a chat with his dad?

Isn't this nonsense?
Fang Boyang's father is as dead as can be, so we can't exactly summon his spirit back, can we?

Old Wei wanted to go to the mourning hall to call Chen Yang back, but suddenly the image of that "evil wind" that had suddenly blown up and Little Chen's figure appearing out of thin air in the courtyard flashed through his mind...

He inexplicably hid behind the pickup truck, wanting to see what this guy Xiao Chen was up to!

But I don’t know…

Chen Yang had already discovered him.

However, Chen Yang didn't care. After all, Lao Wei had been in the "dead people business" for decades and was a good friend of Chen Yang. He was experienced and knowledgeable, so this kind of thing was probably just a small matter for him.

Tonight, Chen Yang's "spirit left his body" to come, firstly to "take away the soul and claim the life," and secondly to fulfill the promise he made to "Fang Boyang."

"This this……"

Fang Boyang, kneeling on the ground, was stunned and asked incredulously, "Master Chen, is this true? My... my father has already passed away, hasn't he?"

"When people die, they become ghosts. Haven't you heard the saying?"

Fang Boyang: "Ghost???"

Chen Yang smiled faintly, then flicked his wrist slightly!
brush!
The entire chain transformed into a streak of dark light, entangling the corpse of "Fang Jun" lying in the coffin.

then……

Just a gentle lift!
Fang Jun's body was lifted up... No!

It's not a corpse!

It was Fang Jun's ghost!
His soul was "hooked" out of his corpse by Chen Yang using the Soul-Locking Chain!

Logically speaking, his spirit was very weak and ordinary people could not see it at all. However, with Chen Yang's help, Fang Jun's spirit was temporarily "visible," though it was somewhat transparent and illusory, as if it were covered by a layer of light and shadow.

"dad!"

Fang Boyang was startled at first, then overjoyed. He rushed forward to hug his father, but passed right through Fang Jun's "ghost".

"The boss!"

"Really you?"

Fang Jun's wife was also delighted.

Under normal circumstances...

Even if the "spirit" of one's closest relative returns after death, their first reaction upon seeing it will undoubtedly be "I've seen a ghost," and they will inevitably feel fear.

However, Fang Boyang and his mother went through a lot during this period, and Chen Yang had given them a "precautionary warning" in advance.

The mother and son were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they happily talked to Fang Jun.

But Old Wei, hiding behind the pickup truck, was different. He suddenly widened his eyes, craned his neck, and glanced at Fang Jun's body in the coffin, then at the illusory figure chatting with the mother and child...

His eyes rolled back and he fainted!

"........."

"Uncle Wei!"

Chen Yang rushed over, patted Old Wei's face, and cried out, "Uncle Wei... Uncle Wei, what's wrong, Uncle Wei?"

Old Wei is a few years older than Old Chen, he's 60 years old. If he gets scared and something bad happens, what would happen?

Fortunately, Chen Yang's "Yin God" is now powerful enough to interfere with reality. He slapped the face and pinched the philtrum, finally waking up the frightened old Wei.

Old Wei slowly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Chen Yang, he couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

"Xiao Chen."

"Uncle's really getting old, he can't stay up all night anymore... Guess what Uncle just saw?"

"Uncle saw... Fang Jun's spirit crawling out of the coffin and chatting with his wife and children!"

He was originally hiding behind the car.

As he spoke, he stuck his head out again and pointed into the mourning hall.

nature……

Then I saw the scene inside the mourning hall.

The coffin remained, and the mourning hall was filled with wreaths and white banners.

Beside the coffin, Fang Jun, in a phantom form, was talking to his wife and children!

Old Wei: "..."

He turned his head to look at Chen Yang, raised his hand to give himself a big slap, and then turned back to look at the mourning hall.

"Am I...am I hallucinating?"

His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he raised his hand to hit himself again.

Chen Yang reacted quickly, grabbing Old Wei's hand and saying with a wry smile, "Uncle Wei, you're in the business of dealing with the dead... Haven't you encountered anything like this before?"

Old Wei stared blankly, muttering, "When I was young, I followed my third uncle into this business. He taught me a lot and told me about the taboos in our line of work... But... but this is the first time I've ever seen a real... um?"

Old Wei was speaking when he suddenly sprang to his feet, took a few steps back, and stared intently at Chen Yang, saying, "Little Chen, did you use that chain to pull Fang Jun's soul out?"

Chen Yang: "Yeah..."

He flicked the Soul-Locking Chain: "This is the Soul-Locking Chain, specially designed to snatch souls and claim lives."

Seeing Chen Yang approaching, Old Wei took a few steps back and quickly said, "No... Little Chen, stay there and don't move!"

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Uncle Wei...didn't you say my dad had contacted you when you went to the shop today?"

"What, you contacted me?"

Old Wei said, "I dreamt about your father."

Chen Yang patiently explained, "My dad did come back a while ago. The reason you dreamed about him is probably because he went to your house to see you but was afraid you would be scared, so he deliberately chose this way to meet you."

Old Wei: "..."

Chen Yang: "Didn't my dad tell you that I passed the civil service exam?"

"You asked me that today... Uncle Wei, I did pass the civil service exam, but not for the human world, but for the underworld." "???"

Old Wei paused for a moment, then looked at Fang Jun's spirit in the mourning hall, before finally fixing his gaze on the soul-locking chain in Chen Yang's hand.

After all, he was in the business of dealing with the dead and had some knowledge of the "legends" about ghosts and the underworld. He asked in return, "You mean... you passed the exam for a position in the underworld and became a ghost officer?"

Chen Yang nodded, then shook his head.

"I was indeed a ghost messenger at first, but later, because of my strong professional skills and several merits, I was promoted... Now I am a daily patroller in the human world."

The sun-visiting deity is the one who travels by day.

But Lao Wei clearly hadn't heard of such a word before, and asked, "What the hell?"

"Daytime patrol".

Chen Yang explained, "Ghost messengers are the lowest level in the underworld. If they do a good job, they can be promoted to ghost attendants, such as soul-capturing attendants, underworld ghost attendants, and demon attendants... My dad is a ghost attendant now."

"Above the Ghost Messenger is the Night Patrol, and the Night Patrol is the Night Wanderer. Above the Night Patrol is the Day Patrol, and the Day Patrol is the Day Wanderer. I am the Day Wanderer."

"........."

Old Wei understood this time.

He pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and said, "You mean you're a higher-ranking official than your father?"

"It's not an official position, it's a divine one."

Chen Yang said, "Our Yin Division's organizational structure is registered in the divine register, so every promotion is actually an advancement in divine rank."

Old Wei took a few deep drags on his cigarette.

This kid...

Why do I feel like he said all this just to show off in front of me?

He took out a cigarette and offered it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang habitually took it, rubbed his fingers together, and a ball of green will-o'-the-wisp shot out from his fingertips to light the cigarette. He took a deep drag...

Then Lao Wei saw that the mouthful of food swallowed by Chen Yang immediately formed the shape of a lung lobe in his chest.

"........."

Old Wei rolled his eyes and was about to faint.

Chen Yang quickly reached out to support him, calling out, "Uncle Wei, don't be afraid... I'm not a ghost, I'm just my spirit leaving my body."

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Fang Boyang and his mother still had a lot to say, and Fang Jun looked very sad, reluctant to part with his wife and children!

Chen Yang said, "Fang Jun, the time has come... you should set off now."

He cast the "Rebirth Mantra" to send Fang Jun away, and greeted Old Wei: "Uncle Wei, let me know next time you need to do something for someone, so I can send a ghost messenger to collect the soul."

Old Wei nodded in a daze.

Only after Chen Yang transformed into a gust of cold wind and disappeared did he give himself a hard pat on the back, muttering, "I felt pain... Am I dreaming?"

………………

Wucheng.

Yu Min Street, funeral home.

After Chen Yang's spirit returned to his body, he shouted towards the second floor, "Commander Yang... Commander Yang!"

"What's wrong?"

With cucumber slices stuck to his face, Yang Shuai floated down from the second floor, whimpering, and when he spoke, his tongue lolled out: "Old Chen, what do you want?"

"Yang Shuai, you've been dead for some time now."

Chen Yang gestured for Yang Shuai to sit next to him and said earnestly, "So, what are your plans and goals for the future?"

Yang Shuai didn't sit down either.

He floated in the air, adopting a "Ge You slouch" posture, one hand supporting his head and the other slapping his cheek, saying, "I'm already dead, who cares about the future?"

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable in the "Ge You slouch" position, he tied the elastic rope around his neck to the ceiling and then stuck his head inside: "Just hang there like that."

"Anyway, if you let me stay, I'll hang around in your shop every day, playing pool with you and Old Gu. If you want to send me down, I'll just go down and reincarnate... Maybe I'll be reborn into a rich family in my next life!"

"........."

That bastard has the complete mentality of a lazy bum, always talking about lying down and doing nothing.

That's how it was when I was in high school.

His father used his connections to get him transferred from Yuzhen to the best high school in Wucheng, but all he did was keep saying things like "life and death are predestined" and "wealth and honor are determined by fate"...

The key point is that although this bastard didn't get into university, he dug up the ruins of the "Cat Ghost God" when he got home and made a lot of money. He really has a life of wealth and honor!
This period of "wealth and honor" was rather short-lived.

"Yang Shuai, you can't have this kind of thinking!"

Chen Yang said in a tone of disappointment, "You just died, you're still a new ghost, in the prime of your life, the time to fight for your dreams, how can you just lie down and do nothing?"

Yang Shuai's elastic rope wasn't tied properly, and it was so tight that his eyes rolled back. He complained, "I'm already dead, and you still want me to keep playing? Are you even human?"

Chen Yang patiently explained, "What I mean is that you become a ghost messenger, helping me collect souls and take lives when you're not busy. After you go down to the underworld, having this identity will make life easier, right?"

Yang Shuai: "..."

He loosened the elastic rope around his neck, retracted his tongue, and was clearly tempted.

Chen Yang pressed his advantage, adding, "Just think about it... if a relative or friend of yours dies in the future, and you go to collect their soul, wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?"

Yang Shuai's eyes lit up: "That sounds pretty good, but..."

"Being a ghost messenger must be dangerous, right?"

"Danger my ass! With me protecting you, where would you be in danger?"

Without thinking twice, Chen Yang grabbed a pen and paper and started writing a letter!
