“Brother An, the wind is going to blow Little Four down there. I'm feeling anxious too.”

The Fourth Master sighed and gave the three people a desolate back view as if it contained unspeakable bitterness and melancholy. Zhou Ze felt that… it was a pity that Feng Si had died early. Otherwise, it would have been a pity not to act.

His acting skills were comparable to those of an old actor, and his looks surpa.s.sed that of young fresh meat. He was a popular actor. Lawyer An smiled. He stood up and said, “When has this wind ever stopped?”

Master Four was stunned when he heard this and did not say anything else. Lawyer An turned his head and said to Zhou Ze, “Boss, let's go.”

Zhou Ze stood up and walked out of the pavilion with Lawyer An. As they walked, they paid attention to their backs in case Master Four suddenly burst out. Except when they could not see the pavilion behind them, nothing happened.

“Why do I have the feeling that he still loves you?” Zhou Ze asked.

He let the two of them go just like that? It was indeed a little… unreal.

“Hehe.” Lawyer An smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed to the front and shouted, “Boss, not far ahead is the road to the netherworld… towards youth, dreams, and the future. Let's charge!”

Zhou Ze felt that Old An's mentality was still not adjusted properly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said the idiotic words of the main character of a j.a.panese manga. When he turned back to look, no one caught up. No matter what the reason was, Feng Si had let the two of them go. In short, being able to return safely… could be considered a happy matter.

“Fourth Master, are you not going to chase after them?”

The fair and plump Cuihua'er had already picked up a kitchen knife, this was the knife she had just used to cut the pickled vegetables. She did not hate Lawyer An, but she had a grudge against Zhou Ze! Fourth Master stood with his hands behind his back, it was as if he was looking into the distance.

“Those few left,” said the Fourth Master.

“Left?” Cuihua'er could not understand.

“Fourth Master, they did leave.”

The Fourth Master shook his head and sat down at the table. Cuihua understood and served a bowl of soup. After blowing at the mouth of the bowl and drinking two mouthfuls of soup, the Fourth Master put down the bowl and said, “It's not them, but other people.”

“There's someone else nearby?” Cuihua was a little shocked. She didn't feel anything.

“You're underestimating An Buqi.”

Master Four picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of pickled cabbage. He put it into his mouth and chewed slowly.

“If you look down on An Buqi, you're looking down on me. After all, I was brought out by him.”

“Cuihua didn't.”

“He committed a crime back then and escaped. However, he can continue to mingle in the world of the living. He also picked up his old relations.h.i.+ps. Just now, I felt several groups of people staring at me.”

“Once I make a move against An Buqi, they might show up.”

“Perhaps?”

“Yes, or they might not show up. They might want An Buqi to die more than I do, but I don't want to gamble.”

Master Four looked in the direction where Zhou Ze and Lawyer An had left. His gaze was somewhat profound.

“However, these ties that are tied together by favors and incense should be used once. Those people aren't from the charity hall. This time… let him go for now.”

“Fourth Master, you're still unwilling to kill him, right?”

“Whether I kill him or not, I'll see if there are any benefits.”

After saying this, the Fourth Master put down his chopsticks and walked out of the pavilion.

“Fourth Master, wait for Cuihua. I'll pack my things.”

The Fourth Master did not wait for Cuihua as he continued to walk forward by himself. Carrying the still very hot stove, pots, and pans, as well as the small table and chair… Cuihua, who was towering high… chased after him as fast as she could.

The Fourth Master was empty-handed, it was as if Cuihua was carrying a small mountain on her back. With every step the Fourth Master took, he would move further and further ahead. Cuihua moved as fast as she could, for her steps were fast. Like an electric motor, following Fourth Master closely.

Her face was not red, and she was not out of breath. With so many pickled vegetables feeding her huge white physique… It was indeed useful. The Fourth Master finally stopped in front of a ruin of buildings. Cuihua also stopped, she then took a chair from her back for the Fourth Master to sit down.

She also took out a small stove to prepare the water to boil pickled vegetable tea. Everything is in order, master and servant. These days in h.e.l.l, they have been very familiar with each other. Sometimes when the Fourth Master turned over, Cuihua knew that the Fourth Master wanted to eat sauerkraut.

If the Fourth Master yawned, Cuihua knew that the Fourth Master wanted to eat sauerkraut. If the Fourth Master sighed, Cuihua knew that the Fourth Master wanted to eat sauerkraut. The Fourth Master had long been tired of eating sauerkraut. Except he still ate some every time.

It was not to protect the mood of the silly girl next to him, it was just that he purely felt that eating something he did not like every day was also a kind of self-awareness to prevent himself from being too inflated. It was a bit like trying to endure hards.h.i.+ps.

The old woman walked out, followed by a group of women dressed in qipao. However, these women looked like they had just removed their makeup. They were no longer as exquisite as before, and they no longer had that graceful charm.

“Lord Patrol Inspector, have you caught them?” The old woman asked very politely.

The Fourth Master shook his head. The old woman opened her mouth, wanting to ask something more… Except she felt that there was no need to ask anymore. After hesitating for a moment, she immediately said, “They want to go to the road of the Yellow Springs. If they want to return to life, I can chase after them.”

“There's no need.” Master Four raised his hand.

“Why is that?”

“Because you're going to die soon.” Master Four said very calmly.

The old woman's gaze focused, in the next moment… The women behind her quickly appeared in front of her and protected her.

“Inspector, are you joking?” Even though she asked this question, she still asked her subordinates to protect her.

“I'm not joking. I'm serious.”

“My Master is the judge of the Underworld!” The old woman screamed.

“She's been dead for almost a hundred years. This tea has long been cold.”

The Fourth Master glanced at the ruins behind the old woman and continued,

“If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for choosing this place to be your private land. I have a use for this place, and I want to expropriate it.”

“I can not take a single step into this place in the future!”

“Tsk, this won't do. If I don't kill a few people during the expropriation, I always feel that it's a little ungrateful. It's like eating without pickles.”

As he spoke, Cuihua, who was beside him, immediately understood. She picked up the kitchen knife and charged straight at the old woman. When Cuihua fought, she was always so plain and unadorned. It was different from when she was still alive.

When she was still alive, she didn't intentionally borrow a corpse to revive her soul. She was only possessing a corpse for temporary use. Therefore, it was very difficult for her strength to be fully displayed. In h.e.l.l… she could freely release it.

The woman blocked Cuihua, but they couldn't block her kitchen knife. One by one, the women dressed in qipao were immediately hacked out. Their bodies were shattered and their flesh and blood were a mess, poisonous insects slowly crawled out from the broken limbs. The scene was a little disgusting.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Ze had just sucked away their essential energy, or perhaps Cuihua's kitchen knife was too sharp. In short, the Faceless Woman was now like a watermelon in front of Cuihua, waiting to be hacked down.

The old woman's expression was serious. She took out the lantern as her palm continuously stroked the lantern. A ball of karmic fire was about to condense. Master Four stood up from his chair, and in the next moment… he directly appeared beside the old woman.

The old woman was shocked and directly drew out the karmic fire. She intended to resist to the end even if it meant mutual destruction. Except Master Four had opened his mouth and all the karmic fire that had just flown out from the lantern entered his mouth.

It was a little dry and his chest was also a little stuffy. At this moment, the Fourth Master suddenly felt like eating pickled cabbage. It was just enough to neutralize it. Immediately following that… a shadow appeared behind the Fourth Master. A blood demon whizzed out and directly pounced towards the old woman.

The old woman raised the lantern and struck. However, the blood demon immediately pierced through the lantern and entered the old woman's body. In an instant… The women dressed in qipao who had not finished chopping the emerald flowers were all frozen in their spots. They were like remote-controlled toys that had lost their controller.

The old woman's body began to slowly dry up as a black fog began to rise from the top of her head, it was like a pot of boiling water that was constantly boiling until… The water was boiled dry.

“Bang!”

When a person died, they became a ghost. When a ghost died, they were gone. The old woman's body exploded, she completely disappeared into nothingness. It was as if all traces of her existence had been wiped away. The blood charm flew out and once again entered Master Four's body.

The women dressed in qipao stood in place. It was likely that they would not move again in the future. They had completely turned into mannequins that were placed in front of the clothing store in the mall.

“Fourth Master.” Cuihua brought over a chair again.

The Fourth Master shook his head and began to take a walk in the ruins. Cuihua packed everything up, carried it on her back, and followed the Fourth Master for a walk.

“She deserves to die.” Fourth Master said.

“Yes. Fourth Master said she deserves to die, so she deserves to die.”

“Because she saw it.”

“Yes.”

“Also, this place will be the place where the higher-ups throw their rubbish in the future. We have to ensure that it's clean.”

“Okay.”

“Every once in a while, after you've pickled the vegetables, you can come here to take a look. If there's rubbish, you can collect it.”

“Okay.”

The master and servant continued walking through the ruins, like tourists visiting the Forbidden City in the world of the living.

“Fourth Master, what if I meet Uncle An again?”

“If you can kill him, then kill him.”

“Okay.”

“If you can't kill him, then try. What if you can?”

“Fourth Master, you're Right!” Cuihua looked at him with admiration.

“Right, you've met the man beside An Buqi before, right?”

“Yes, his fingernails are very powerful!”

“Oh, An Buqi said that the Hidden Dragon In The Abyss is his opportunity.”

As the Fourth Master spoke, he laughed. “He probably found a person who is related to the previous judge somewhere and wants to use this to return to h.e.l.l.”

“Fourth Master, Cuihua can guarantee that he can't do it.”

“He can't do it?”

“Hmm?”

“He's very lazy. Other than sunbathing every day, he reads the newspaper.”

“Oh.”

“I can see that Uncle An is also very helpless towards him.”

“Hehe.”

The Fourth Master bent down and pointed at the small stream in front of the ruins.

“Cuihua, do you know what river that is?”

“River? Fourth Master, Cuihua only saw a small stream.”

“Yes, a small stream. In ancient times, that was the eye of the Netherworld Sea.”

“At the end, when the families split up, you take one point and he takes three points. It was a vast ocean, and only a small stream was left.”

“Cuihua doesn't understand what that means.”

“It means that even if he can't find a leg to cling on to, it's still just an old flower. He's just lying to himself.”

“Yes, yes… that must be the case.”

“Back then, it was because he was too naive that he fell in love with that woman. It caused him to end up in this situation, where he had hopes of becoming a judge.”

“Now, it seemed that he was still so naive. Sigh… it's good to be naive.”

As he spoke, the Fourth Master couldn't help but laugh.

“Cuihua'er, do you know whose palace this used to be?”

“I don't know.”

“It's the palace of a ferocious zombie from ancient times. That person was here to suppress the Netherworld Sea.

“Before he died, this place was still a complete sea. After his death, this place became a small stream.”

“It sounds very powerful.”

“Well, let's put it this way.” The Fourth Master straightened his body and kicked a piece of tile beside his foot.

“He can't bring himself to return home in glory unless he has someone on the same level as the original owner of this palace.”

“Hahahaha, how is this possible, Fourth Master.”

The Fourth Master reached out and touched Cuihua's head. Cuihua was a little tall as the Fourth Master had to tiptoe to touch it. Cuihua understood and squatted down a little as she let the Fourth Master put his hand on her head and touched it.

The Fourth Master felt comfortable. As he touched her head, he said, “Yeah, how is this possible?”
