At this moment, Zhao Changfa was like a venomous snake, threatening Zuo Si.
Zuo Si felt a chill run down his spine; although he knew Zhao Changfa would never leave prison in his lifetime, he sensed that Zhao was not lying.
In fact, even without Zhao Changfa’s threat, Zuo Si would not mistreat Gu Yiyi. This poor girl had suffered so much pain and despair in life, yet remained so pure after death. It was hard to imagine that such kindness could exist in this world.
This made Zuo Si reflect deeply; he felt it was necessary to do everything in his power to keep Gu Yiyi by his side, ensuring her happiness and joy.
However, there was one thing Zuo Si did not quite understand.
Why was Gu Yiyi still so gentle towards Chen Qing, the murderer?
‘It seems that the memories of the dead are not complete. Gu Yiyi only remembers that Chen Qing harmed her, but not why he did it. Could it be that she thought she had done something wrong and hurt Chen Qing, which led him to kill her?’
‘Gu Yiyi probably believes that if she is good enough to Chen Qing, he won’t harm her anymore.’
‘This girl is truly so kind that it makes one ache.’
Zuo Si turned off the live stream.
In the distance, the sound of police sirens could be heard; the numerous missing person cases could finally come to a satisfactory conclusion. The net of justice is vast and does not let anything slip through.
Both Chen Qing and Zhao Changfa would receive the punishment they deserved. Due to the involvement of a homicide case, a significant police presence had arrived, with five or six police cars on the scene.
Zuo Si also saw some familiar faces. Captain Niu and Li Feng were there as well, making things much easier.
Zhao Changfa confessed to the case and led the police to the remains of the victims. Among them were Ge Hong and Ge Shan; Ge Hong’s remains were not in the grave that belonged to her. That unmarked grave was likely a tomb built by her family as a memorial.
After completing the statement, Li Feng looked at Zuo Si with a somewhat speechless expression and asked, “Your spirit-seeking live stream is quite miraculous; how did you get Zhao Changfa to confess in just one night?”
Zuo Si shrugged and joked, “It’s nothing much; I just summoned his parents, and after a bit of persuasion, he came to his senses.”
Li Feng’s expression darkened: “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll take you back.”
Zuo Si made a bitter face and said, “Please, Brother Li, today is the first day my haunted house opens; you can’t take me away!”
Captain Niu walked over at that moment: “Alright, Xiao Li, stop scaring him. This guy has done quite a good job tonight.”
Zuo Si awkwardly smiled, “Thank you for the compliment, Captain Niu. I may not have any merits, but I have put in some effort. Could you arrange a car to take me back later?”
“Stop with the joking,” Li Feng said seriously. “Since you have a haunted house, manage it well and don’t come running to these dangerous places for no reason.”
“Understood, understood!”
As dawn gradually broke, Captain Niu still had some work to do before he could arrange a car for Zuo Si.
Zuo Si was not in a hurry; there was still plenty of time before the amusement park opened, so he sat down on a nearby rock to rest.
Buzz! Buzz!
His black phone vibrated. He took it out and looked at the notification.
[Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on successfully completing the one-star daily task, ‘Midnight Taxi,’ by safely taking the taxi with license plate number QZ6438 to Miaoshan Cemetery and surviving until dawn.]
[Congratulations on completing the optional task ‘Eliminate Evil Spirits.’ Your task completion rate is 100%, and you have received a double reward for fear points. You have earned a total of 2000 fear points.]
[Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on completing the hidden task ‘Let All Evil Be Punished’ in the Midnight Taxi, earning 1000 fear points.]
[Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on collecting an additional 2678 fear points through other means, which have now been added to your total.]
[Current fear points: 6326. Reminder: Fear points can be used to enhance the strength of ghosts and participate in lucky draws.]
Suddenly, Zuo Si felt as if he had struck it rich!
Zuo Si felt a surge of confidence at this moment.
The midnight taxi was an unexpected occurrence, making it inconvenient to bring other ghosts along for the task. However, if he were to undertake other daily tasks, he could easily arrange for the Ghost Employees to be nearby the task location. In case of danger, he could find a way to summon them for help. This way, the danger and difficulty of the task should be significantly reduced.
Zuo Si began to look at the other information.
[Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on acquiring two new Ghost Employees.]
[Name: Gu Yiyi.
Soul Level: Wronged Soul.
Growth Potential: Strong.
Favorability: ★★★.
Special Ability: Purification.
Special Ability Strength: Strong.
Special Ability Source Description: From life to death, she has always possessed a pure heart, exquisite and flawless; the kindness she radiates can gradually purify everything.]
[Name: Ge Hong.
Soul Level: Wronged Soul.
Growth Potential: Average.
Favorability: ★★.
Special Ability: Shadow Concealment.
Special Ability Strength: Weak.
Special Ability Source Description: The industry she was involved in required her to hide, never daring to appear in the sunlight, thus she gradually developed a certain level of concealment ability.]
[Dear Soul Keeper, Gu Yiyi’s favorability towards you has reached three stars.]
[Yes/No, will you include her in ‘My Ghost Employees’?]
“I only saved her once, and her favorability towards me has already reached three stars?!” Zuo Si clicked confirm, adding Gu Yiyi to ‘My Ghost Employees’.
The watermelon hairpin in his hand trembled slightly, indicating that Gu Yiyi was hiding inside it.
“It seems that every ghost needs a place to reside; Meng Miaoxue is a high-heeled shoe, while Shen Xia and the others are those shabby models.”
“I wonder where Ge Hong is now? She must be quite sad, after all, Ge Shan has already passed away, and she has lost another friend.”
Zuo Si had no intention of looking for Ge Hong; since the black phone indicated that she was already his soul employee, it must be correct. Perhaps she was already in the haunted house, or maybe a delivery would arrive shortly.
Half an hour later, Zuo Si and Lin Zihao left Miaoshan Cemetery in the same police car.
Zuo Si went straight back to his haunted house. Just before getting out of the car, he reminded Lin Zihao not to stream from dangerous places for no reason in the future. He should not take tonight’s events seriously. Everything was scripted, and those ghosts were just special effects.
As for whether Lin Zihao believed it or not, it didn’t matter. As long as he wasn’t afraid of being thought of as a lunatic and getting caught, he could say whatever he wanted.
Standing in front of the haunted house, it was already seven in the morning. Both the ticket office and the entrance passage had been tidied up neatly, showing no signs of anything amiss.
Upon entering the office, he found that the office supplies had already been purchased and arranged neatly. However, there was no computer. After all, he had only given Lu Tao ten thousand yuan; it was already impressive to have bought this much.
“It seems Ding Ruxiao and Lu Tao worked late into the night.” Zuo Si felt a bit guilty; it was his haunted house, yet he had made others worry and toil over it.
After leaving the office, he headed to the staff lounge, intending to see how it had been arranged. But as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.
