Ming Shu carried the infant spirit with her as she went to see the mayor’s daughter-in-law, who had just woken up.
She asked what Yao Ying had told her.
The mayor’s daughter-in-law dared not conceal it this time. But Yao Ying really just talked to her for a while, and there was nothing strange about what she said.

When was the last time you saw Yao Ying?

The mayor’s daughter-in-law had cried with reddened eyes, and her voice choked.
It was about… a month ago.


What did she tell you at that time?

The mayor’s daughter-in-law still shook her head. She recalled the day and that they met each other when shopping, then went shopping together and had a meal.

Did you feel anything wrong after eating?

The mayor’s daughter-in-law struggled to recall.
It seemed… My stomach felt some swelling pain… but the pain disappeared when I returned, and I thought it was because of the shopping… Does it have anything to do with Yao Ying?

Why did she keep asking about Yao Ying?
The mayor also asked,
Was it related to Yao Ying? Why did Yao Ying want to harm my family?

Ming Shu looked at the infant spirit that was still babbling in her hand and pulled up her lips.
How would I know that.

After asking the questions she wanted to ask, Ming Shu walked outside with the infant spirit.
The mayor stopped her.
Consultant Qian.

Ming Shu turned her head, then the mayor asked her and Gu Zhi to go outside and talk.

Consultant Qian, I know there are some different people in this world. If you can help my family with this, I’ll pay you any amount you ask.

What happened recently was so weird.
Ming Shu also earned some achievements before. So even though the mayor believed in science, now he couldn’t guarantee that the world really didn’t have those things.
Money equals snacks. 

Ming Shu’s eyebrows and eyes immediately bent into crescent moons. She said in a cheerful tone,
I’ll keep you informed, Your Honor.

The mayor:
…
 What’s with this swift change?

The mayor then sent Ming Shu and Gu Zhi away.
Yao Ying, the Yao family…
…
After coming out of the hospital, Gu Zhi called to arrange things on the villa’s side, then looked at Ming Shu.
Where are we going now?

She can’t run around the world carrying this infant spirit, right?

Ming Shu got into the car with the infant spirit.
Go back to my office.

More threatening words appeared outside the firm. These stupid words could only ruin some of her businesses…
Wait!
If the business was ruined, wouldn’t she starve to death?
The snacks coupon was smart!

Ming Shu threw the infant spirit in front of the little ghost in her office.
Hold it, I’ll kill you if it escapes.

The little ghost:
…

Gu Zhi:
…

There was actually a little ghost in her office!
A male ghost!
Male!
Where is my knife!

Where is my knife!

Free of Ming Shu’s control, the infant spirit climbed up and made to run. But the little ghost jumped and held it.
The infant spirit bit the little ghost’s arm in a rush. The little ghost cried out in pain, then grabbed the infant spirit’s legs and smashed it against the floor.
Ming Shu:
…

After she sent off the female ghost at Happiness City, Ming Shu could vaguely sense the strength of these ghosts. She believed the ghost in her office was quite powerful.
But she didn’t expect him to be so violent.
The infant spirit was smashed until it was dizzy and it howled in pain.

What is it howling?
Ming Shu asked the little ghost.
The little ghost:
It hurts.


Keep beating it until it stops crying.

Anyway, the ghost beating wouldn’t kill it.
The little ghost:
…
What was that supposed to mean?
Ming Shu turned around and walked toward the office table. Now Gu Zhi pretended to show a face of confusion.
Who are you talking to?

With that look and tone, Ming Shu felt it would be an insult if she didn’t give him an Oscar.
That’s it, I’m a professional actor.

I’ll by no means abandon my character profile.


Can’t I talk to myself?


…

How should I take that?

The normal script shouldn’t be like this! 

Can you say the lines!

In consideration of the two ghosts staying with them, Gu Zhi didn’t dare to do anything and just stood where he was.
The infant spirit’s miserable cries kept assaulting his ears.
The scene was just as weird as it got.

Aren’t you leaving?

Ming Shu looked up at Gu Zhi.
Gu Zhi asked back,
Why should I leave?

Are you trying to fool around behind me again!

Humph!

I won’t leave! 

Ming Shu:
Have you finished your work?

Gu Zhi:
I’ve made arrangements, and now I’m off duty. All my off-duty time is yours.

Ming Shu:
…

What was the number of the province bureau’s director?
Here was a rich second generation idling away his time, who should be called back to work to strive for a harmonious society.
Ming Shu dragged a chair over and sat down before the infant spirit that was being beaten.

You don’t really see ghosts, do you?
Ming Shu didn’t give him any chance so he created conditions for himself.
Were you talking to a ghost at the hospital?

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows.
Aren’t you scared?

Gu Zhi pulled a snicker at his mouth.
You’re with me, so I’m not scared.

Ming Shu gave a fake smile.
Gu Zhi cursed to himself in his heart.
The two pretenders looked at each other in silence.
A moment later Gu Zhi swept a gaze around and continued nervously,
So do you? Are there ghosts here? Where?

Ming Shu frightened him.
It’s right beside you.

Gu Zhi hugged Ming Shu all at once and looked aside alertly.
Although he knew there was nothing beside him.
He couldn’t waste such a good opportunity. How could he call himself the number one genius in the universe if he didn’t take advantage of her.
Ming Shu stared at him for a long while. She was not sure whether he could see or not.
She tested him at the hospital, but he didn’t give the show away.
What an actor…
The ghost:
…
 Hey hey hey, that’s enough of your PDA! We’ve got an underaged ghost here! 

Infant Underaged Spirit:
Yiiyaahhh!

Ming Shu pulled Gu Zhi and made him sit on the chair.
Just go if you’re scared.

Gu Zhi held Ming Shu’s hand and acted like he was very scared but trying to stay calm.
I’m not, not scared. You’re here with me.

Ming Shu touched the top of his head; Gu Zhi tried hard to prevent himself from getting angry.
My wife’s petting me and I’ll grow taller, so I’m not scared. 

Ming Shu didn’t walk away from Gu Zhi but leaned beside the chair.
Answer my questions well, or I’ll let him beat you again, do you understand?

The infant spirit nodded its head in tears.
Yeeyaahhh!


Why did you kill that baby?

The infant spirit babbled; Ming Shu looked at the ghost.
The little ghost had to do his translation job.
He said he just did what he was told and didn’t know why.


Who told you to kill it?

The infant spirit shrank into a ball and looked very scared. He didn’t babble.
Ming Shu smiled.
Are you scared? The person who gave you the order can kill you, but I also can kill you. Now you’re in my hands, which do you think will be faster to kill you?


Wuu!

The infant spirit burst out crying.
Ming Shu:
…

It felt like she was bullying an unborn child.
But Ming Shu retained her smile.
No more tears, or I’ll beat you!


Yee…
The infant spirit swallowed the following words.

One last time, who told you to kill it!

The infant spirit babbled weakly then.

He doesn’t know the man’s real name, either, but he knows they all called him Old Skin.

Old Skin? Sounds unfamiliar… But he sounds thick-skinned. 

Ming Shu asked again,
Did you kill the mayor’s wife and son?

The infant spirit seemed to be pondering what the mayor’s wife and son were, and it babbled lowly a long while later.
The little ghost:
Yes.

Ming Shu:
…

How could they close this case then?
An infant spirit killed people?
If it was published like this, wouldn’t they all be locked in small dark rooms for reeducation because of their superstition?
Would there be snacks in dark rooms?
It was terrible just thinking about it.

Okay, last question, why can you harm people?


Yiya yiya yiya…

Little Ghost didn’t translate this for a long time.
