Xie Hua had entered in soul form, but her soul was contaminated with yin-yang realm’s malevolent energy. She needed to dissolve herself before being placed in the soul-catching bottle to be taken back to the special investigation unit – although Xie Hua hadn’t killed anyone, her motives and potential danger still required accountability.
As for the other bottle… Luo Yingbai looked at Xia Xianning’s hand and said, “Actually, I think even if we bring Liao Zhong’s seven spirits out, his family won’t be happy. Liao Zhong would probably go crazy.”
Xia Xianning said, “Everyone has their fate.”
Luo Yingbai replied, “Indeed. Well, let’s go.”
The two found the other half of Huang Lijuan’s soul sealed in the yin-yang realm and had the ghost officers take it away, then walked towards the realm’s exit, a sense of melancholy passing through their hearts simultaneously.
For them, this was resolving a case and finding peace, but could the heart-wrenching love and hatred of those involved be so simply erased?
Xia Xianning unexpectedly felt a rare sense of sadness. Luo Yingbai suddenly cried out, “Ouch,” and Xia Xianning turned to support him, finding he had stepped into a mud pit while lost in thought.
Without Yin Ming’s interference, the edge of the yin-yang realm had become a muddy ditch, its sludge formed from resentful and rotting dead spirits. Xia Xianning supported him in time, so Luo Yingbai didn’t get dirty, but his shoes were filthy.
Luo Yingbai, always clean, hopped out on one foot, holding Xia Xianning’s hand and screaming, “Ugh, so gross! I’m going crazy!”
Xia Xianning handed him the shoes. Luo Yingbai touched his nose a bit guiltily: “Cough… well, today was really unlucky, getting stuck with this stuff. If I end up dying miserably, you must remember to burn more paper money for me…”
“No, it won’t,” Xia Xianning picked up the old shoes and threw them away. When he walked back, he interrupted Luo Yingbai’s words. He naturally bent down to help Luo Yingbai adjust the shoe heel, saying softly: “Don’t overthink it. You’ll never become like them.”
Luo Yingbai was originally joking, but seeing his actions, suddenly felt a warm feeling surge from the bottom of his heart. He pushed his luck and said: “So you’ll buy me shoes next time?”
