Grocery Store No.514

Wu Zheng protected Zhang Aihua tightly, he looked at the ghost baby in front of him and the female ghost standing behind them in horror. He frantically slapped the door behind him and shouted for help.

The ghost baby’s blood-red eyes stared at the two of them, the corners of his mouth were split open, revealing sharp teeth and a scarlet tongue. The most frightening thing was their bloody chest. The chest was cut by their own hands was bloody black which clearly and vividly declared their sins.

“No, don’t come here, don’t…” Zhang Aihua shouted in horror.

“Damn you, damn you all!” The female ghost’s voice was bleak and full of deep resentment.

The ghost baby rushed towards the two of them fiercely as if he had received an order. 

Creak

The door was opened. 

The two people who were leaning on the door fell backward instantly. Wu Zheng subconsciously hugged Zhang Aihua tightly and let her fall on himself.

Bai Wuchang white flag waved to the ghost baby who rushed over. The ghost baby screamed shrilly and hid beside the female ghost in fear. He looked at Wu Zheng and his wife at the door fiercely.

Wu Zheng, unable to see Hei Bai Wuchang, only finds Ling Hua’an appears in front of his door. After seeing the ghost baby who was fiercely knocked down before being knocked down, he feels like he had found a life-saving straw. He hurriedly supported Zhang Aihua to stand up, and started begging, “Mr. Ling, help us, help us.”

The female ghost looked at Ling Hua’an and said coldly, “you want to help them?

“If you feel wronged when you are killed, what about the person you’ve killed? Are they not felt wronged?”

“Those people are beggars. They eat and wait to die every day. It’s a waste of resources to live. It’s better to give me the strength and let me kill these two scumbags to avenge them.”

Wu Zheng begged, “Mr. Ling, help us, please help us.”

“You two crazy people should go to hell.”

The female ghost looked at Hei Bai Wuchang around Ling Hua’an and said, “Since you’re the messenger from Underworld, the ones who should be taken away the most are them. They not only killed me but also killed my child.”

“I did it. I did everything, and it has nothing to do with my wife. If you want revenge, I can put my life on the line. I beg you to let my wife go, she is innocent. Please!”

The female ghost said in resentment, “you are just an accomplice, she is the culprit. Both of you deserve to die!”

Zhang Aihua grabbed Wu Zheng’s clothes tightly, hid behind him in horror, “it’s not me, it’s not me, don’t kill me, don’t kill me. Ah-Zheng save me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die……”

“It’s you, it’s you! It’s you who deceived my trust and gave me water mixed with drugs! It’s you who opened my belly, took out my child, and let me bleed to death! Open their little chests and take their hearts, it’s all your fault!”

The female ghost’s voice became more mournful, accusing Zhang Aihua of the blood debt on her hands.

Zhang Aihua, who was hiding behind Wu Zheng. She shook her head desperately and cried, “It’s not me, it’s not me. Ah-Zheng, you have to save me. I don’t want to die…I don’t want to die…”

Wu Zheng looked at Zhang Aihua, a complex light flashed in his eyes, he knelt down in front of Ling Hua’an and begged, “Mr. Ling, I killed everyone. I am willing to die, please save my wife, please!”

Wu Zheng’s face was pale and thin, he had long lost his previous high spirits. Even though he was tortured so badly, he was still willing to stand in front of Zhang Aihua and even protect her with his life. He really loved her deeply.

“It depends on the karma. You can’t hide from it. If it’s not on you, you can’t replace it.

The female ghost looked at the Hei Bai Wuchang, “Two Lords, me and these children are the victims. We are pleading to take this pair of scumbags for murdering our lives. If you also take them to the underworld, we are willing to capture them.”

“The Human World has its own rules. We can’t interfere without permission before their time has come.”

“Rules? They have killed ten people. As a messenger, you not only don’t care but also stop us from taking revenge. It’s really unfair!”

“We don’t care if they live. But if they die, they must come with us.”

“It doesn’t make sense! Since you are being unfair, we can only do it by ourselves!”

As soon as the voice of the female ghost fell, an ill wind suddenly rose. The surrounding resentment continued to surge, covering the entire villa. The villa was originally built halfway up the mountain.  It is sparsely populated with heavy Yin energy and weak Yang energy. In addition, now it is night, the ability of female ghosts rises sharply. She is like a vortex, constantly absorbing the Yin energy around her. A large amount of Yin nourishes the body of female ghosts and ghost babies, and they are about to turn into entities.

Hei Bai Wuchang’s eyes changed. Bai Wuchang said, “Transformation!? What a skill.”

“Cut the nonsense!” The chain in Hei Wuchang’s hand appeared out of thin air, and he rushed forward without saying any word again.

Bai Wuchang smiled, shook the white flag in his hand, “You are really impatient.” 

The resentment surges while Yin Energy becomes entangled. The female ghost and ghost baby soon fought with Hei Bai Wuchang. The female ghost’s fingernails grow, reaching a length of 30 centimeters with blood-scarlet color. They collided with Hei Wuchang’s iron chains, made the sound of metal slamming, and sparks flew all over the place.

The five ghost babies also entangled Bai Wuchang. Although their abilities are not as good as female ghosts, they’re winning in number. Bai Wuchang can not take them in a short time.

Slight and stiff footsteps sounded, and Ling Hua’an looked in alert at the direction of the sound.

Wu Zheng asked nervously, “Zhang Lan, why did you come out? Where is Xiaobao?”

Zhang Lan did not speak,  lowered her head, and walked stiffly toward the three.

“Zhang Lan, let me ask you. Where is Xiaobao, how can you leave her alone?”

Zhang Lan’s pace quickened, rushing to the front in a hurry. She raised the kitchen knife and slashed at Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng quickly pulled Zhang Aihua to dodge.

Ling Hua’an took out a paper talisman, recited the incantation, and pasted it on Zhang Lan’s forehead. Zhang Lan’s movements stopped abruptly. The kitchen knife fell to the ground with a ‘clang’, and her body also fell to the ground.

Wu Zheng asked with lingering fear, “Mr. Ling, Zhang Lan… what’s the matter?” 

“He was mind controlled by resentment. Who is Xiaobao you are talking about? Is there any child here?”

“Xiaobao… right,  Xiaobao. I have to go see Xiaobao.” Wu Zheng woke up and wanted to rush into the room, but was caught by Zhang Aihua.

Zhang Aihua cried, “Ah-Zheng, don’t leave me, I’m afraid.”

Wu Zheng comforted her and said, “Wife, wait here, Mr. Ling is here. Those ghosts can’t hurt you. I have to go upstairs to see Xiaobao, she is so young. It’s easy to get into trouble…”

“No, no. Ah-Zheng, you can’t go, it’s too dangerous over there. I can’t lose you.” Zhang Aihua hugged Wu Zheng tightly and didn’t let him go upstairs.

Ling Hua’an looked to Shen Xin who was beside him, “Can you sense anything?”

Shen Xin looked away from the ghost baby and said, “None of them is my child.”

Ling Hua’an frowned slightly and said, “you go upstairs and take a look.”

Shen Xin was startled, and then said with expectation “Mr. Ling means…”

“A tiger, although cruel, will not devour its cubs¹. Wu Zheng is still a bit human after all.”

Shen Xin nodded and floated towards the second floor impatiently.

Ling Hua’an took out the bell in his pocket, released the two female ghosts inside, and said, “Go find your child.”

The two ghost babies who were entangled with Bai Wuchang, as if they had been sensed, looked in the direction of Ling Hua’an before looking at the two female ghosts.

“Child, my child! ”

The bond of mother and child, they quickly sensed the subtle connection between blood.

“Mom, mom!” The ghost baby murmured, crawling towards the female ghost.

With two ghost babies missing, Bai Wuchang quickly captured the remaining three ghost babies and put them directly into the magic weapon. Without wasting any more time, he flew forward and joined the battle again. The addition of Bai Wuchang completely tilted the balance of the battle, and soon a chain was locked on the female ghost’s neck.

The female ghost’s bloodshot eyes looked at the crowd in anger then landed her gaze on the two female ghosts. She roared in a sharp voice,  “you were also killed by them! Why don’t you help me take revenge, but help them instead?”

“The human world has its own laws, it’s not an excuse for you to do evil.”

“The law? If those cops are useful, why they’re still free?”

“I can tell you. If the police have enough evidence, none of them can run away. You will be taken to hell to atone for your sins because of killing people and your children will also lose the chance of reincarnation because of you.”

“My child and I died so tragically, he was killed by this crazy pair of scum before he even opened his eyes to look at the world. Why should I be dragged into hell when I want to take revenge? Why not give my child a chance to reincarnate? I refuse to accept it, refuse to accept it!” The female ghost struggled with a ghastly face.

“Why should those innocent people be the victims of your revenge? They are also other people’s sons, husbands, or even fathers. Are they related to your revenge?”

The female ghost said in madness, “they are all trash, the scum of the city. They don’t deserve to live in the world…”

Hei Wuchang was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the female ghost, so he sealed her mouth and said impatiently, let’s go.”

Bai Wuchang smiled helplessly, bowed his hands to Ling Hua’an, and said, “Mr. Ling, it’s over. We’ll go back first.”

Ling Hua’an returned the salute and said, “thank you two lords. Take care.”

Hei Bai Wuchang led the female ghost back to the underworld, and the villa returned to calm. Ling Hua’an was about to speak when he was pushed and stumbled, tripping directly over the threshold and falling to the floor.

“Wife, what are you doing?” Wu Zheng looked at Zhang Aihua in surprise.

“Ah-Zheng, the female ghosts are gone, and so are those ghost children. As you heard, the human world has laws itself. Those ghosts don’t dare to do anything to us, as long as we kill this person too, then no one will know what we did.”

Zhang Aihua looked at Wu Zheng with tears in her eyes, “Ah-Zheng, I don’t want to go to jail, and I don’t want to die. You will help me, right?”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, “Wife, I killed everyone. It has nothing to do with you. I will surrender, you don’t have to be afraid.”

“Ah Zheng, what do you mean? ” Zhang Aihua retorted, “you said you would love me for the rest of your life, how can you turn yourself in? Ah-Zheng, as long as we kill him, no one will know what we did and we can still be the same as before ……”

“It’s not the same!” Wu Zheng broke down emotionally and interrupted Zhang Aihua’s words,  “Wife, I’m tired and don’t want to continue.”

Just then, Zhang Lan on the ground suddenly stormed up…

The last female ghost in this chapter and Zhang Aihua really got on my nerves (╬≖_≖)

1. This means no one is capable of hurting his own children. ↺
