Chapter 567 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
Having subdued the Xuanming Young Master and his Ghost Emperor subordinates, and confirmed with Su Jinyue that without Xiao Jing'an personally unlocking the soul power lock, the Xuanming Young Master was just an ordinary person, Director Huayang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He arranged for someone to escort the young master and his companion back to the Special Administration Bureau for safekeeping. Remembering something, he turned to look at Su Jinyue.
"Young friend Su, is there any reason why you want to retrieve those souls? They are all heroes..."
Although Xiao Jing'an was the one who asked for those souls back, Director Hua Yang clearly saw that after the Xuanming Young Master returned them, it was Su Jinyue who handled the follow-up.
The idea that people have souls after death was something Director Huayang initially didn't believe, but with the establishment of the Special Administration Bureau and the increasing number of supernatural events, he had to accept this fact.
However, he can save the injured living, but he can't help the dead.
As the director of the Special Administration Bureau, Hua Yang knew about and even handled many cases of evil deeds committed by spirits. However, he was powerless to help his colleagues who sacrificed their lives while handling these cases.
Director Huayang wondered if the souls of the deceased colleagues could also survive, since souls could exist.
However, despite trying every possible method, he was unable to see the souls of his fallen colleagues.
He also consulted with Taoist masters in China, but they can't even perform rituals to help souls pass on, let alone communicate with the underworld and talk to the dead.
However, the presence of Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an gave Director Huayang hope!
They got back the souls that the Xuanming Young Master had devoured. Does that mean those sacrificed souls can be brought back to life? And does that mean they can let him see those souls again?
Moreover, judging from their conversation, Xiao Jing'an is also a soul, so can he expect more?
Director Hua Yang stared intently at Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an, waiting with great anticipation.
Seeing the expectant look in Director Hua Yang's eyes, Su Jinyue fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.
Su Jinyue asked Xiao Jing'an to retrieve the souls he had swallowed. She didn't know why, but a voice inside her told her to do it.
In truth, the souls of ordinary people were of no use to her. Xiao Jing'an could improve his strength by absorbing soul power, but to be honest, his strength had already surpassed that of the Ghost Emperor and reached the level of the Ghost Lord. The souls of ordinary people were no longer of any use to him.
But she still followed the voice of her heart, took back those souls that were somewhat damaged because they had been devoured, and then nurtured them one by one.
However, Su Jinyue didn't know how to explain things to Director Huayang.
Who knows how long it will take for those broken souls to be nurtured to the point where they can enter the cycle of reincarnation!
"Director Hua, I just can't bear to see those who fought against the enemy in life, only to have their souls devoured by the enemy after death."
Their souls are incomplete right now, and they can only be slowly nurtured in the Soul-Nourishing Wood..."
Listening to Su Jinyue's explanation, Director Huayang nodded repeatedly, saying that this was good enough.
After a person dies, their affairs must be arranged.
For ordinary people, what happens after death is the burial of their physical body.
But Director Huayang knew more: even if the physical body is gone, the soul remains.
Having served as the director of the Special Administration Bureau for many years, I have witnessed far too many paranormal events. The Special Administration Bureau's personnel deal most often with malevolent spirits.
However, because of their different forms of existence, spirits can harm people, but people are powerless to deal with spirits.
Mystic masters have methods to deal with spirits, but there are still too few of them to handle the paranormal events that occur nationwide. Moreover, some of the mystical arts of local mystic masters are ineffective against spirits that come from the Netherworld.
If it weren't for the emergence of the game "Infinite Horror," and the fact that players brought out various items from the game, there would have been even more casualties in China.
Not only do people die, but even their souls are consumed as nourishment, and they are powerless to stop it.
Therefore, it's already quite good that Su Jinyue was able to preserve the souls of the dead.
"Director Hua, don't be fooled by her! The person she brought is a spirit. Recently deceased souls are the best nourishment for spirits. How can you know that she is really protecting those souls, and not letting this man eat them!"
The sudden sound interrupted Su Jinyue and Director Hua Yang's conversation, and the two of them turned to look at the source of the sound.
Not far away, there was a man and a woman. The woman was trying to stop the man from coming over, but she was unsuccessful.
Su Jinyue raised an eyebrow. It just so happened that she knew both of them. She had seen one of them a few days ago at the Feng family's territory, namely Feng Jianxiao.
The woman was Yu Shiwan. As a staff member of the Special Administration Bureau branch, she should have known the identity of Director Hua Yang and had been trying to prevent Feng Jianxiao from getting close.
But Feng Jianxiao acted like a greenhorn, ignoring Yu Shiwan's attempts to stop him and loudly proclaiming his true feelings.
How come these two have run into each other again?
Just a few days ago, Feng Jianxiao was still at the Feng family's territory, and his father was even against his relationship with Yu Shiwan. How come he's with Yu Shiwan now? And he's even here?
Is Feng Jianxiao going to disobey his father's orders and outwardly comply while inwardly resisting?
The actual situation was pretty much as Su Jinyue had guessed. The day after Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an left the Feng family's territory, news broke that an elder of the Feng family had gotten into trouble.
As the clan leader, Feng's father managed to suppress the news in time, but the fact that several of the most powerful elders in the clan had been murdered still spread, causing widespread panic among the clan members.
Feng's father knew more. He thought it was the Grand Preceptor next to the ancestral hall who was responsible, but when he went to the Grand Preceptor, he was horrified to find that the Grand Preceptor had also been killed!
Although the Imperial Advisor's residence was kept very clean, he still managed to uncover the truth through subtle clues.
A master has arrived in the clan's territory and has unknowingly killed the Grand Preceptor and several elders, but Feng's father cannot find the real culprit.
In order to avoid causing chaos in the clan's territory, Feng Fu could only try his best to delay.
Unable to find the real culprit, and to ensure his son's safety, he didn't have time to say more before sending Feng Jianxiao out of the clan territory.
Feng Jianxiao had been scolded by his father the day before and stayed in his room all night. The next day, his father sent him out of the clan's territory. Therefore, he had no idea that the clan elders had gotten into trouble.
After leaving the clan's territory, Feng Jianxiao hesitated for a long time before finally going to the Special Administration Bureau branch to find Yu Shiwan. However, Yu Shiwan had been temporarily transferred to Kyoto, so he followed her to Kyoto.
Then, the young master of the Xuanming Realm launched a surprise attack, and the two of them followed the dispatch personnel here.
"You two are here too," Su Jinyue said casually.
Although Su Jinyue was wary of them because of the original male and female protagonists' fame, she was not afraid of them.
Su Jinyue's strength had long surpassed Feng Jianxiao's, and Yu Shiwan had failed to absorb her luck, while her good fortune seemed to have made little progress.
Not to mention, Su Jinyue now has Xiao Jing'an by her side.
