Park Jung-eun's eyes widened in disbelief: "How could you do this to me? Giving me a sedative? I was just traumatized..."

The doctor walked in, wearing gloves, holding a syringe, and injected it into her arm without saying a word.

A sense of powerlessness quickly welled up inside me.

So sleepy, dizzy, I really want to sleep...

I didn't even have the strength to shout, but for some reason, there seemed to be a strange force deep in my consciousness fighting against that drowsy feeling.

"I don't want a divorce... I really love you... Husband..." Park Jung-eun murmured softly, and finally closed her eyes in resentment.

Zhou Mingyu stubbed out his cigarette and strode out in his leather shoes.

After he left, he called his lawyer to discuss the divorce directly.

Divorce is very complicated for entrepreneurs of this caliber, but Park Jung-eun is currently in an unusual state, so it would be much easier to process the divorce since her partner is currently powerless to resist her.

The lawyer offered a series of suggestions, and Zhou Mingyu nodded, indicating that she would follow them.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hao had originally planned to go out for a stroll to learn about the local customs and the upcoming seaside water festival. However, not long after he left, his car got stuck in a large pothole on a concrete road in the suburbs.

Someone had made a big hole in the cement road, and the car got stuck in it. They had to wait for someone to come down and help push it out.

Zhang Hao got out of the car, found a wooden board to put on the side, and was able to drive the car out with difficulty.

After the car drove out of the ditch, he looked ahead and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.

The gruesome body of Li Yuning floated over and leisurely got into his car.

"So you're that young man... It's been a long time... If I had listened to you back then, I wouldn't have died."

This person has become a ghost and is clearly dead.

Zhang Hao was somewhat surprised: "I thought you would be completely destroyed, but I didn't expect you to be able to preserve your soul. It seems you're quite lucky."

Having died once, Li Yuning understood how fragile life was. He was no longer as arrogant as before. Hearing the other person's slightly mocking words, he instead said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, if I hadn't used a secret method to preserve my soul at the end, I would have been completely destroyed by that female ghost. Now, because of my unnatural death, I can't be reincarnated normally. I know you're a capable person; could you send me to be reincarnated?"

He didn't want to be a lonely ghost wandering the world.

Because being a ghost is incredibly lonely. Pursuing power? He lacked the talent; the strength of his soul was already predetermined. Pursuing wealth? What use was wealth to a ghost?
As for power and such, the underworld's management system is quite sophisticated. If an evil spirit really causes trouble, all that awaits him is the underworld's army to deal with him.

After much thought, I realized that reincarnation was the safest way out.

"Why do you think I would help you? Do you think everyone who knows Yin-Yang magic would save an insignificant ghost? Do I look like a pushover?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuning's expression froze for a moment.

Yes, although this person had warned him at first, they clearly foresaw the outcome but did not intervene, simply watching him walk towards his predetermined fate...

In other words, this person appears kind on the surface, but is actually quite cold-hearted at heart.

Having figured this out, Li Yuning sighed in frustration: "But you've at least learned the Taoist arts of exorcising ghosts, can't you at least have some good intentions and do some good deeds for some ghosts?"

Before Zhang Hao could answer, the Black Impermanence who suddenly appeared spoke first.

"You brat, Mr. Zhang has done enough good deeds. What he wants to do now is none of the Underworld's business. Who do you think you are, daring to speak such words to Mr. Zhang?" Li Yuning looked in the direction of the voice and saw Black Impermanence floating over. He stood there dumbfounded, staring at the dark figure: "Black... Black Impermanence?"

Black Impermanence nodded, his expressionless face resembling that of a ruthless underworld boss.

"It's me. Go away and be a wandering ghost!"

With a slap, Li Yuning flew out of their sight like a discarded trash bag, disappearing with a "thud."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but laugh.

"Your method is too crude. He's a ghost, after all, and a subject under the jurisdiction of your underworld."

After the reform of the underworld, the wandering ghosts on the ground are like unregistered people in the human world. Although they do not enjoy the services and protections within the legal system, they are still under their jurisdiction.

Black Impermanence remained expressionless.

"Mr. Zhang, please don't joke like that. I've come to see you today because I have serious business to discuss."

The Black Impermanence himself came to deliver a message; the matter must be quite serious. Zhang Hao put away his slightly frivolous smile and asked, "What exactly is it?"

"Of course something's wrong. The yin energy surging in the South China Sea recently has been very abnormal. The underworld sent ghost messengers to investigate, but they found no clues. However, the yin energy there is getting stronger and stronger, and the monster sealed underground is about to come out. So King Yama asked me to pass on a message to you, hoping that you will pay more attention to the southern sea area during this period, lest some world-destroying evil ghost appear."

This was a serious matter, and the other party's tone gradually made Zhang Hao's expression turn serious: "Really?"

But why didn't he notice anything during this time?

Black Impermanence nodded and explained, "Because you, Mr. Zhang, are probably the target of that underground monster's special vigilance, they specifically used a mental suggestion spell to make you subconsciously ignore these anomalies. The people around you will also be affected and will not mention this matter to you on their own initiative."

Spells? Mental suggestion?
He immediately thought of the faceless monster from before—that monster was also adept at drawing out people's deepest desires, guiding them, and thus controlling them.

"This matter is very similar to the Faceless incident, so Mr. Zhang, who has already defeated Faceless, is the most suitable person to handle this matter."

Black Impermanence analyzed the pros and cons, and finally bowed: "I'll leave the rest to you, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Hao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Black Impermanence drifted away. Li Yuning watched this scene from afar, only daring to drift back after Black Impermanence had gone far away.

"What did you two talk about just now?" Li Yuning asked nervously.

Zhang Hao glanced at him sideways: "Do you really want to hear what we're talking about? Listening might push you into an even more dangerous situation. Do you still want to hear it?" Or rather, do you still dare to listen?

Li Yuning's face showed fear, then he smiled awkwardly and shook his head.

After he became a ghost, although he was no longer alive, he could at least still think and exist in another form.

If one's soul truly dissipates, then one will completely disappear from this world.

It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

Before Zhang Hao could say anything, the little koi in the car let out a sneer: "I thought you were so brave, but you're just a coward!" (End of Chapter)
