Du Kang stood with his hands behind his back, watching the five people being detained by Ma Xiaoling and Niu Zeqing. The first one was Ye Feng.
"You're here too?"
Du Kang said calmly. The instant Ye Feng looked up and saw Du Kang, his lifeless eyes suddenly flashed. He grabbed Ma Xiaoling, who was next to him, and pointed at Du Kang with his tightly bound hand as he asked loudly, "Why?
Why is it like this?
I … why am I the one who died? Why is he still alive! "
Ma Xiaoling did not say anything. She just looked at Ye Feng and roared. At this moment, Ye Feng seemed to have gone mad. Seeing that Ma Xiaoling was silent, he pushed her away and stumbled towards Du Kang. He wanted to grab Du Kang's collar, but he was already in that world. His ghostly body could not be formed. His hands passed through Du Kang's body like a phantom.
"Why?
Why!
Why is it like this! "
Ye Feng stared blankly at his own hands. He raised his head and roared angrily. Then, he smiled bitterly and tears rolled down his cheeks. His legs went soft and he sat paralyzed on the ground. He kept muttering, "Why is it me and not him?"
Ma Xiaoling, who was at the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer. A grown man crying was the most disgusting thing to see. She forcefully pulled the Soul Hooking Chain in her hand and actually pulled Ye Feng's soul into the air. She grabbed the collar of her clothes and coldly said, "Because the road under your feet was chosen by you. Today's result is yesterday's cause. You can't blame anyone, and you can't blame the heavens.
Du Kang stepped aside to make way for Ye Feng. The door of 1314 Convenience Store behind him was wide open. Ye Feng raised his head to look at the "1314" signboard that was flashing with colorful neon lights. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, as if he had understood something.
"1314, a lifetime, convenient to come and convenient to go. Hahaha, I understand, I understand. You're right. I walked the path I am walking on. Haha, I walked on my own."
Ye Feng threw his head back and laughed heartily. Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped into the store and left like a gust of wind.
The four people following behind hesitated when they reached the door. Especially the last one, Broken Eggs, he squatted on the ground and cried.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die. I have parents at home. My wife ran away with someone else. If I die, who will take care of my daughter? I can't die. Ghost Messenger, I beg you, I don't want to die!"
"King of Hell told you to die at midnight. Who dares to keep you alive?
This is fate. Lin Haisheng, your time is up. "
Niu Zeqing's soft and childish voice sounded. She pushed up the black gold mask and put it on her head, revealing her porcelain doll-like little face. She smiled sweetly at Lin Haisheng, "Although you have a bad record, you still have some filial piety. When you arrive at the Nether World, the judge brothers will decide your punishment accordingly. You should also leave quickly. If you miss the time, you will have to suffer in hell for another ten years."
"I … I can't feel at ease." Lin Haisheng's tears fell and his voice was choked. He looked into the distance, in the direction of his home.
"Birth, old age, sickness, death, love, separation, resentment, unattainable, and unable to let go. Lin Haisheng, your fate in the mortal world has already ended. The people of the Yang Realm will naturally have their own path for them to choose for themselves. You can't help them, and it's even more impossible for you to stay.
Ma Xiaoling walked closer and nodded at Niu Zeqing's pleading gaze. She gently pulled the Soul Luring Chain in her hand, and Lin Haisheng's soul, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, flew up and threw itself into the shop.
"Wait, wait!"
Lin Haisheng shouted in the air. He grabbed the Soul Reaping Chain with both hands and pulled it away.
"How dare you!"
Ma Xiaoling was furious. She took out the Soul Reaping Chain again. The originally three feet and six inches long Soul Reaping Chain expanded in the wind. The chain was like a net, blocking all directions and pressing Lin Haisheng to the ground.
Lin Haisheng looked at the black chain that kept moving around him. He was not afraid at all. Instead, he grinned at Ma Xiaolin and said, "Lord Ghost Messenger, I won't run away. It's just that there's one thing I haven't done. When I'm done, even if it's a mountain of knives, a sea of fire, or the eighteen levels of hell, I, Lin Haisheng, will not hesitate."
After Lin Haisheng finished speaking, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground. He knew that it was the direction of his home.
"Dad, Mom, your son is unfilial. When I was young, I didn't listen to you. When I went to school, I didn't study hard. When I graduated, I couldn't find a good job. When I found a wife, she ran away with someone else. Since I was young, I've let you two worry about me. In the future, only you two can take care of yourselves. I can't repay your kindness in this life. In my next life, I'll still be your son, I …"
Lin Haisheng couldn't say another word. His tears fell like rain as he kowtowed in the direction of his home.
Ma Xiaoling looked at everything in front of her and faintly sighed. As a ghost messenger, she was used to seeing life and death, but this scene always touched her heart.
With a flip of her wrist, the Soul Reaping Chain returned to its original length of three feet and six inches. She held it in her hand and stood behind Lin Haisheng, waiting for him to kowtow before pulling the chain and leading him into the shop.
Lin Haisheng walked to the door and lifted his foot. As soon as it landed, he entered that world. At this moment, Lin Haisheng stopped. He turned his head once more. His father with white sideburns, his kind and kind mother, his innocent and unaffected daughter, all of their faces appeared before his eyes.
"Let's go …"
In the end, it was just a word of farewell. Lin Haisheng turned his head and without any hesitation, he threw himself into the shop. Just like the others before him, he turned into a breeze and left to report to the Underworld.
Seeing the five people who had just been fighting to the death walking on the road to the Yellow Springs, the last part of the road in the world of the living, and the last parting of human nature, Du Kang touched the tip of his nose with his finger. For a moment, he didn't know what to feel.
"Let's go back. You'll see more in the future. Once you get used to it, you'll get over it."
Ma Xiaoling walked to Du Kang's side. The two stood side by side and looked at the shop as usual. She gently patted Du Kang's shoulder and took the lead to walk back into the shop.
"It was the same for me in the beginning. Later, I got over it. Humans will always walk on this path, so I became a Yin God and a ghost servant."
The little loli, Niu Zeqing, took out a lollipop from somewhere and held it in her mouth. She spoke in a childish voice, but she pretended to be mature and experienced. Du Kang couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you." He reached out and rubbed Niu Zeqing's little head.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Niu Zeqing nodded obediently. Then, she puffed up her cheeks and said to Du Kang seriously, "Also, Xiao Pang, don't touch my head in the future. Old Ma said that I won't grow tall if I do that."
After that, he skipped and chased after Ma Xiaoling.
In an instant, the shop became quiet. Du Kang put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the door of the shop. He looked up at the night sky that was dotted with cold stars. The cold wind suddenly blew, and a withered yellow leaf flew in front of Du Kang's eyes. He reached out and caught it in his palm, but he didn't expect that the withered leaf was so fragile. When Weiwei touched it hard, it turned into powder and fell on his palm.
