Afterlife Department-Chapter 662 - Baby
"This company really is very unlucky." Jiang Xinduo clicked his tongue and shook his head as they walked out of the Yuhua Entertainment. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
"Why did you say that?" Gu Xingfeng asked as he unbuttoned the collar of his shirt so that he could breathe easier. Many of the company's employees secretly glanced at him, thinking that he is an actor that was newly-signed and Jiang Xinduo is his manager.
Due to the situation, Gu Xingfeng and Jiang Xinduo were forced to wear casual clothes every time they enter the Yuhua Entertainment. With Gu Xingfeng's abstinent appearance and cold temperament, coupled with his young and handsome face and well-built figure, and his skin is tanned, he really looked delectable.
On the other hand, Jiang Xinduo, although not looked as handsome as Gu Xingfeng, he also can be called pleasant-looking. With his calm temperament, he is suited to be a manager of an actor. How pity it is that these two actually are policemen and not a part of the entertainment circle.
On the other hand, Jiang Xinduo felt his scalp is numb when he felt the gazes of the people around them. Fortunately, they are now leaving. "Just think, boss. First, someone has died. Then, not long after and someone had an accident and is now lying comatose in the hospital." He said in a low voice. "Then, last night, someone sprained their ankle. Although we know that it was someone's prank, still, doesn't this look very unlucky?" he asked and raised his hands to shrug.
Gu Xingfeng didn't answer and just allowed Jiang Xinduo for his imagination to wonder. He already knows that this guy has a big brain hole, so what is the use of scolding him? "Hm?" he muttered when his eyes caught a car that stopped on the roadside.
"What's wrong, boss?" Jiang Xinduo asked when he heard Gu Xingfeng's voice. But, he didn't hear Gu Xingfeng answered, so he turned and saw that Gu Xingfeng is looking at a certain direction.
He followed Gu Xingfeng's gaze and uttered a sound of surprise when they saw a woman came out of the car wearing a beautiful high-collared dress which made her look like a goddess. Indeed, she is called a goddess by her many fans, especially her male fans.
"Oh? Isn't this Su Xin?" Jiang Xinduo exclaimed when he recognized the woman. It wasn't only him, but the employees of the Yuhua Entertainment, too, that are her fans saw her and became excited.
"'Su Xin'?" Gu Xingfeng muttered and turned to Jiang Xinduo. "The name sounds familiar…" he said as his brows knitted, trying to recall where he had heard the name.
Jiang Xinduo smiled as he turned to his boss. "Su Xin is a film empress, meaning the top actress. She is signed with the Yuhua Entertainment ever since her debut." He explained.
"Oh." Gu Xingfeng indifferently muttered and walked to the parking area.
Jiang Xinduo immediately followed him, not looking at Su Xin again. What they didn't know is that Su Xin glanced at their way and saw them entered their car before she withdrew her gaze.
...
"Hey? Isn't this a private subdivision? So, there can be evil creatures in here?" Mo Shi asked in surprise as he, Huo Ling, Yi Bing and Jin Wu walked around the community where they sensed resentful energy, which they call 'Foul' in the Afterlife Department.
Right now, they are using their invisibility skill to enter this community.
"There are cases that the wealthier a person is, the more the evil in their heart is." Jin Wu said.
Yi Bing nodded in agreement while Huo Ling just smiled as they followed where the resentful energy is coming from. Because this Foul is a resentful energy, this means that this creature that owned this resentful energy has vengeance in their heart. And they are right when they saw a deformed baby crawling on the ground while scratching the wall of one of the residences.
"What the heck!" Mo Shi exclaimed when he saw the deformed baby which only has one eye and no nose while its lips are very small like a nail.
Its limbs and body also is skewed. It is very ugly.
"No wonder we didn't hear any cry from it. It is unable to cry." Huo Ling said and sighed when he saw the small hole between the baby's small lips.
Mo Shi felt his heart ache as he looked at the deformed baby. "Which evil… it isn't this baby that is evil but the one who killed it!" he said and gnashed his teeth in anger. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
Huo Ling, Yi Bing and Jin Wu nodded in agreement. Sometimes, death isn't deserved by those who died, but they are actually the victims and had no choice because they were either killed or forced to die. Just like this baby before them. It looked like it is seventh to eight months old and is unborn. Just who is so ruthless to abort this child? Was it the child that committed a crime because they were created this way?
It was the parents. These ruthless parents that forsaken this child!
Huo Ling's chest heaved up and down as he suppressed the rage in his chest. "Let's send him off first." He said.
Yi Bing, Jin Wu and Mo Shi nodded and they sent off the resentful unborn baby.
"We will make sure to avenge you, so hush now." Huo Ling told it after he saw its eye turned red due to unshed tears. "You will have a better parents in your next life." He said as they watched the unborn baby's soul disappeared before them.
Mo Shi took a deep breath and turned his head to wipe his tears. "Heartless murderers!" he said and gritted his teeth in anger.
"We will definitely punish the one who did this to the child." Yi Bing said.
"Whose house is this?" Jin Wu asked as he, Yi Bing and Huo Ling walked around the house.
Yi Bing and Huo Ling know what Jin Wu is thinking. Since the baby is here, and is even scratching the wall of the house, naturally, it should be related to the one who killed it. Most souls return to where they died, or where their murderer is. Thus, they know that the murderer of the unborn baby, which is likely to be its parent, is living in this house.
Meanwhile, Mo Shi squatted on the side to calm himself down. He didn't draw the baby to be passed to Hao Baiyun since they already sent the baby off.
…
Supernatural Department.
"Boss, don't you think that those four are suspicious?" Zi Chen asked as they sat on the dining table and ate because they were reunited again.
"I do." Hao Baiyun answered.
Everyone fell silent and resumed eating.
"But. I already calculated their fates and had Xuli do a background check on them." Hao Baiyun said.
They all looked at Fei Xuli who shrugged. "Their background is clean." Fei Xuli answered.
They all fell into silence. They know what Fei Xuli implies. The cleaner the background one has, the more that they are suspicious.
"Could it be that they gave us false identities?" Lan Tian's brows raised.
"It is possible, but their faces look natural." Hao Baiyun answered.
"It can't be that they are actually also already a part of the supernatural circle that knows how to trap one's soul to make face masks made of human skin?" Zheng Jian's eyes widened in horror.
Jin Chulin grimaced and looked at Zheng Jian as if he is looking at an idiot. "These masks definitely would leak yin energy since the soul trapped would become resentful." He said. "But boss didn't see nor sense any yin energy coming from them." he told him.
"Oh… so that's why…" Zheng Jian muttered and resumed eating to shut his mouth with food.
Jin Chulin rolled his eyes at him and also resumed eating.
"Jing Yu?" Fei Xuli called when he noticed that Jing Yu is just silent.
Jing Yu looked at them and saw that they are also looking at him. "Boss… give me some more time." he said and looked at Hao Baiyun.
Hao Baiyun's eyes widened and he nodded. The others looked at each other before they lowered their heads. They know that Jing Yu's constitution is special, so Jing Yu should have some means to identify what those four really are.
"But…" Hao Baiyun muttered.
They all looked at him. "Boss?" they called.
"… they aren't malicious." Hao Baiyun said. "This is what's most important." He told them.
They nodded in agreement. Indeed, they didn't sense that those four are carrying malicious intentions and even are friendly to them, especially Huo Ling. So, they didn't say anything earlier and also acted friendly to them. It is just that they are suspicious of their identities, so they are wary.
"Boss is right. If they want to be friends with us, then it is good." They said.. Then, they resumed their meal.
