Zhang Hao found it strange, so he naturally walked towards them.

The Black and White Impermanence did not appear in the mall; they were invisible, and ordinary people could not see them at all.

Zhang Hao walked up to them, winked casually, and asked with his eyes, "What brings you two here?"

Moreover, the fact that both Black and White Impermanence were dispatched at the same time suggests that this matter is quite significant.

"Two murders have occurred here. The victims were killed yesterday. They arrived at the underworld on time, but when they were preparing to be reincarnated, we discovered that their souls were incomplete, missing one of each of the three souls and seven spirits. We have come here to investigate and find their missing souls."

what?
Is one of the three souls and seven spirits missing?
A fragmented soul cannot be reincarnated, but
Zhang Hao looked at them with disdain: "Didn't they say the Underworld had been reformed? How come the efficiency is getting worse and worse? Souls are incomplete and only discovered when they are reincarnated? In just a few days, your Underworld has become so incompetent?"

"This really isn't our fault."

Even the Black and White Impermanence were helpless.

This shouldn't have happened, but it did. Especially considering that every step was checked, such an oversight in the underworld is quite understandable.

The souls of those two people appeared no different from ordinary people, showing no abnormalities.

Moreover, they have all been tested, and if it weren't for the requirement of a complete soul for reincarnation, they wouldn't have been able to detect the problem at all.

"Have you found any clues here?"

Zhang Hao asked curiously.

"Not yet. We're on our way to check on the body. Would Mr. Zhang like to come along?"

Zhang Hao was quite interested in this kind of thing, so he turned to Xiao Jinli and the others and said, "I have something to do and need to go with them. You can continue shopping if you want. We'll meet in the lobby later."

Little Koi had bought everything she needed, so there was no point in browsing anymore. She immediately raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to go along.

Chen Anshui, who was standing nearby, rarely saw the Black and White Impermanence again and wanted to observe these two big shots solving cases up close, so he raised his hand and said he wanted to go and watch the excitement.

Han San frowned slightly as he looked at the two famous underworld ghost messengers.

"I'm not going. I want to be alone."

After saying that, he turned and left, as if afraid of being targeted by the other party.

The Cold Umbrella used to be unafraid of the Black and White Impermanence, but now it's like a mouse seeing a cat.

Zhang Hao touched his chin, feeling something was off.

However, since he is so averse to the underworld now, and the Black and White Impermanence come from the underworld, it's probably because their aura makes him uncomfortable.

They followed the Black and White Impermanence to the place where the corpses had been placed.

This was a separate storage room, covered in dust, poorly ventilated, and filled with a nauseating stench.

The lights were still on, but the body that had been lying there had been removed. Looking around, there was nothing but the four walls.

The Black and White Impermanence lit a candle where the body's head had been when it was originally placed.

The tiny candle flame emitted a faint light.

As the Black and White Impermanence chanted their incantations, the air seemed to move faster amidst the chanting.

Zhang Hao recognized the incantation as a summoning spell.

If any spirits were scattered here, they would be summoned upon hearing the incantation. However, after the incantation was finished and the candles had burned out, the entire room remained empty and silent.

When the Black and White Impermanence opened their eyes, the room was empty; they had not summoned back the two incomplete souls as expected.

Is the missing soul not here, or has it been completely annihilated?

After all, it's not a complete set of three souls and seven spirits; it's not stable enough and could easily dissipate when exposed to sunlight.

If that's the case, then those two ghosts are really unfortunate, because such an accident will prevent them from being reincarnated.

"Really." Just as Bai Wuchang was about to complain, he suddenly sensed an aura coming from outside the door.

He opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Could it be that we successfully summoned back those two incomplete souls?"

Everyone looked towards the entrance, and all of them showed surprise.

Because the soul that drifted over was not the incomplete soul they were looking for, but the Cold Umbrella!

The spirit of the cold umbrella drifted over and was also surprised to see them.

"I suddenly felt a powerful force pulling at my soul, and I flew over here involuntarily. I didn't expect it was you who summoned me. Couldn't you have just called? Why did you have to make my soul leave my body?"

"I can't breathe," Han San complained.

Everyone present looked at each other, somewhat stunned.

The Black and White Impermanence stared at the cold umbrella, then surrounded it from the left and right.

The cold umbrella was suddenly surrounded by these two visitors from the underworld, and it was a little flustered. It asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a glance, and the Black Impermanence explained what had just happened.

"We came here to find two remnants of souls that have fallen to the mortal realm. We just recited a summoning incantation, but it brought you here instead. You may be carrying one of the remnants of souls we are looking for; let us examine you."

After learning the whole story, Han San found it utterly absurd.

"I've never come into contact with any remnant souls, how could I possibly have one on me?"

Feeling that he had a clear conscience, Han San allowed them to inspect the umbrella.

After a careful examination, both Black and White Impermanence frowned in unison.

Seeing their strange expressions, Han San felt a little uneasy: "Is there really something wrong with me?"

Zhang Hao watched quietly from the sidelines, wondering if the Black and White Impermanence had really discovered something.
"Your soul is indeed incomplete; you are missing one of your three souls and seven spirits," Bai Wuchang asserted with certainty.

Han San stared wide-eyed in disbelief. He firmly believed his soul was intact. If he were truly missing a part of his soul, he wouldn't have the energy to wander around now. It's often said that a lost soul is a broken spirit; if the soul is damaged, the physical body will inevitably suffer. Even mild symptoms would leave one weak and frail, yet he was moving freely, showing no signs of being lost.
“This matter is indeed strange. To be honest, we’ve also encountered some strange things lately. Han San’s memories may have been tampered with, but he himself is completely unaware of it, and even my careful investigation has failed to uncover any clues.” Zhang Hao recounted the strange events he had encountered in recent days to the Black and White Impermanence.

Upon hearing this account, both Black and White Impermanence showed surprise.

Bai Wuchang explained, "Due to the recent frequent accidents, the Underworld has developed a special spell to detect the integrity of a soul. It is thanks to this new technology that we were able to see through the problem with the Cold Umbrella at a glance. Otherwise, even if the King of Hell himself came, he might not have been able to detect that he was missing a soul."

The situation was far more serious than expected, and Zhang Hao immediately led everyone back to their residence. Inside the villa, Han San, the person under close observation, slumped on the sofa, looking utterly dejected. Perhaps due to his contact with the underworld officials, he appeared extremely unwell.

After careful examination, the Black and White Impermanence confirmed that Han San was indeed missing one of his three souls and seven spirits, and the lost memories were related to this incomplete soul. However, this incompleteness was cleverly concealed by some advanced magic, and even Han San himself was unaware of it.

Zhang Hao gave Han San a deep look: "It seems your past experiences were far more complicated than we imagined." (End of Chapter)
