Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 398 Is this fate?

Bai Xue hadn't received a reply from "smog" by noon, which made her feel uneasy.

"Could something have happened to him?"

Bai Xue asked.

Ke Ting thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he just hasn't been on the forum. By the way, since you sent him something, you should have his phone number. Why don't you call and ask?"

Bai Xue then realized what had happened, found the electronic waybill she had filled out when she sent the package, and found "Smog's" phone number and delivery address.

Immediately, Bai Xue called "smog".

The phone rang seven or eight times before being answered.

A deep male voice came from the other side.

"Smog? I am a white snowflake. The thing I sent you before is useless. Remember to make a new one yourself."

Bai Xuefei said quickly.

But soon, she was stunned.

"I am not from the Wu lineage. The Wu lineage is gone."

"Gone? How could it just be gone?"

Bai Xue murmured.

“He jumped off a building in the early hours of last night. I am his uncle. If you are Wu Mai’s friend, you can come to Wu Mai’s funeral in a few days. That’s it, he’s gone.”

Hearing the busy tone on her phone, Bai Xue stared blankly at Ke Ting.

"He's dead. He jumped off a building and died."

Ke Ting's expression darkened as she thought of herself.

If it weren't for Bai Xue, if it weren't for Ai Hu, would she already be dead?

"Alright, Xiaoxue, it's not your fault that you couldn't save him. If you really feel bad about it, then make a few more Ai Hu (a type of tiger). I'll take the Ai Hu to your online friend's place and if possible, I'll help him get revenge."

Ke Ting's words startled Bai Xue.

She grabbed Ke Ting's hand and said, "Tingting, what are you doing? You can't go!"

Ke Ting shook her head.

“I was scared too, but after what happened before, I realized that being scared is useless.”

"You heard what that underworld crow said before. It's not that I don't go, but those ghosts and monsters won't exist."

"Besides, joining the underworld requires solving a paranormal event. Instead of looking for a paranormal event that we don't understand, why not solve this paranormal event whose specific details we know?"

Ke Ting comforted Bai Xue.

"If you're really worried, then make me a few more Ai Hu (a type of animal). Tomorrow, I'll have that underworld crow come and help with the identification."

Bai Xue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she could only nod.

She knew her good friend's personality, so she also knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless.

but……

"Tingting, couldn't you have waited a few days? If you waited a few days, I could have made more Ai Hu for you!"

Ke Ting shook her head.

“You were there too, and you heard what the underworld crow said about ghosts and spirits. This matter cannot be delayed; the longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it will become. If the ghost becomes a malevolent force, it will be useless no matter how many Ai Hu we bring.”

The snow fell silently.

"Okay, don't worry, I can make you another twenty before tomorrow!"

Ke Ting smiled and didn't say anything more.

Time flies, and during this time, Ke Ting also learned how to knit with a tiger.

In just half a day, she reached the level of Bai Xue in three days.

By the next day, the two of them had made a total of twenty-eight tigers!
This is because the mugwort has been used up.

When the Raven Prophet was summoned again, they received twenty fully functional Atigons.

Fifteen of them were made by Bai Xue, and five were made by Ke Ting.

In terms of quantity, Bai Xue wins hands down, but Ke Ting only did seven in total, so her success rate was far superior to Bai Xue's.

The Raven Prophet left immediately after the assessment was completed.

Ke Ting, on the other hand, carried a large bag and stuffed all twenty tigers into it.

"I'm leaving now. You should get some rest; you've been exhausted these past few days."

Ke Ting looked at her good friend who had saved her life and suddenly hugged her tightly.

"Wait for me to come back, wait for me to become a messenger in the underworld, and let me protect you!"

Bai Xue nodded emphatically, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish at all.

"gone!"

Ke Ting did not let Bai Xue see her off, just as she refused Bai Xue's request to go with her.

Snow White has done a lot; she deserves a rest.

Watching Ke Ting's departing figure in the car, Bai Xue felt empty inside.

She didn't know why she was like this. Ke Ting was carrying so many tigers and was safer than her, but she just couldn't help worrying and feeling nervous!

On her way back to her own home from Ke Ting's house, Bai Xue hung the tiger figurine on her bedroom door.

She also learned from the crow that the range of Ai Hu's influence was centered on Ai Hu, so it didn't need to be placed at the front door to protect her entire house.

Lying in bed, Bai Xue tossed and turned.

I haven't slept in a long time, but I just can't fall asleep.

Unable to sleep, she got up again and started working.

First, I ordered a batch of mugwort, and then I started practicing making mugwort tigers by watching videos.

She's clumsy, but she knows one thing.

Practice makes perfect, and perseverance is key.

If you persevere and make a little progress every day, you will eventually achieve a 100% success rate.

This is the experience she has gained from school and work over the years.

She wasn't a smart person, but she got into a better university than most of her smarter high school classmates.

She wasn't a person with high emotional intelligence, but she found a better job than her college classmates who won various competitions and held important positions in the student union.

She wasn't a particularly quick learner, but after three years of working at a company, she earned a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan and became a key employee. After starting her own business, her monthly income doubled.

All of this is subject to the statement she held as truth.

"Practice makes perfect, and perseverance is key!"

After practicing for two hours, Bai Xue finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep.

I slept straight through to the next morning!
When she woke up, the first thing she did was check her phone.

On her phone, Ke Ting sent her two messages.

One is that she has already found Wu Mai's family, and the other is that she is preparing to trigger the ghost according to Wu Mai's situation.

The second message was sent in the early hours of the morning.

It's already 10 a.m., and there's still no news.

Bai Xue took out her phone and made a call.

But the other end showed a busy signal.

She had a bad feeling, so she hurriedly got up and dressed. Before leaving, she took the tiger figurine hanging on the bedroom door.

She took a taxi all the way to the other side of the city, and during the two-hour journey, she made more than ten calls to Ke Ting, but none of them went through.

Her mood grew increasingly heavy as a result.

When Bai Xue arrived at the address Wu Mai had given her, she saw police cars and a crowd of onlookers in the residential area.

Panic gripped her heart, and for a moment Bai Xue dared not take another step forward. She was afraid of what she might hear and what she might see.

But some things won't stop happening just because she doesn't look at them.

Two middle-aged women walked by.

"Is this neighborhood unlucky? Two people have jumped off buildings in a row."

"What feng shui! I heard it was a man and a woman. The man jumped first, and a couple of days later, the woman jumped too. This is clearly a double suicide!"

"Oh? Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true! But why? Could it be that your family doesn't want it?"

"Who knows..."

As the two middle-aged women walked away, Bai Xue felt a tingling sensation rise from her toes and travel all the way to the tip of her tongue.

After standing there for a full five minutes, Bai Xue finally started walking towards the residential area.

Beyond the crowd, Bai Xue saw the covered corpse.

She lifted the yellow line and walked inside, like a walking corpse.

"Who are you? Get out of here!" A policeman came over and was about to escort Bai Xue beyond the cordon.

"I know her."

In a single sentence, the police handed Bai Xue over to a man in plainclothes.

"You know her?"

Bai Xue didn't look at the man; she just stared at the covered corpse.

Can I see her?

The man glanced at Bai Xue, whose face was completely pale.

You might not be able to accept it.

"I can!"

The man stopped stopping them and led Bai Xue over.

The plastic sheet was lifted, revealing a grotesque corpse underneath, barely clothed.

Upon seeing that distorted, familiar yet unfamiliar face, a buzzing sound entered Bai Xue's ears from all directions.

Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Hu Guohao, who was standing nearby, caught Bai Xue with quick reflexes.

He shook his head, and just as he was about to send Bai Xue away, he suddenly saw the tiger hanging on Bai Xue's backpack.

With a change in expression, Hu Guohao personally escorted Bai Xue to the Bureau of Investigation.

An hour later, Snow White awoke.

Soon, someone entered the room.

"You're awake. Are you feeling any better?"

Hu Guohao asked.

Bai Xue didn't reply; she just stared blankly at the ceiling.

Looking at Bai Xue's appearance, Hu Guohao frowned, but to be sure, he still asked, "We found an object made of mugwort on you and your friend. Can you tell us where it came from?"

Bai Xue suddenly turned her head.

"Do you know about that thing? Was it the underworld that killed Tingting, or that ghost?"

Hu Guohao's pupils suddenly contracted.

"You know about the underworld? Is your friend from the underworld?"

Seeing that Bai Xue remained silent, Hu Guohao said, "It wasn't the underworld that killed your friend. The one who killed your friend was that fierce demon that killed more than thirty people."

Bai Xue was taken aback.

"More than thirty people? Weren't only four people dead?"

Hu Guohao shook his head.

"It seems you've misunderstood the information."

Hu Guohao then told Bai Xue the whole story.

That ghostly apparition did indeed originate from the fall incident witnessed by Wu Mai and his friends.

Xiao Jia was indeed the first person to be killed.

But after Xiao Jia died, the ghost killed the two people who filmed Xiao Jia falling from the building, and then came back to kill Wu Mai's other two friends.

During this process, because other people filmed the ghost killing other people, the ghost then went on to kill those who were directly involved in filming.

Thus, when that ghost killed Wu Mai, it had actually already killed more than twenty people.

While Ke Ting was away, the ghost killed about ten more people, thus advancing to the level of a malevolent spirit.

So what Ke Ting encountered last night wasn't a vengeful ghost that killed four people, but a vicious demon that killed more than thirty people!
Bai Xue closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Hu Guohao brought up another matter.

"However, when we went to the scene where Ke Ting jumped off the building, we found some things. Half of the mugwort... that is, the mugwort tiger you mentioned, was destroyed, but the other half was still intact."

"If those tigers are related to the underworld, then it means that the ferocious beast did not have a smooth operation last night."

“The crime scene was always clean in the past, which means that the ghost’s illusion magic was very powerful. But last night, the scene where your friend was was in a mess. Your friend must have struggled, and in the end, he was attacked and killed by that ghost while he was injured.”

Hearing Hu Guohao say this, Bai Xue felt as if she were being stabbed with needles.

She could imagine Ke Ting's struggle and despair last night.

After Bai Xue calmed down for a while, Hu Guohao asked, "Can you tell me what your relationship is with the underworld?"

After a long silence, Bai Xue finally spoke: "Tingting is undergoing the Underworld's assessment. If she passes the assessment, she can join the Underworld and become a Yin official."

"She said...she said she would protect me...Waaah!"

Having received the information, Hu Guohao left the room and went to the director's office.

Soon, news of the underworld recruiting underworld officials reached headquarters, along with information about the guardian spirit, Ai Hu.

Upon receiving the news, Feng Jin convened a meeting.

At the meeting, Feng Jin established a new department under the Information Management Department, named the "Destiny's Mandate Department".

The reason is that the "fat little black guy" in the "Night Talk Folk Customs Forum" is a member of the Information Gathering Department!
They had already obtained a piece of information from Yunlong Tian.

Those chosen by Heaven can enter the Underworld and serve in the Underworld!

Although it's just a job opportunity, it's very valuable to the Bureau of Polling!
The more chosen ones there are from the Bureau of Investigation, the greater the probability that the 'inspectors' in the underworld are actually from the Bureau of Investigation itself!
As for whether the Underworld would mind that the Chosen One was a member of the Bureau of Investigation, Feng Jin and the others unanimously believed that it would not!

Yunlongtian is a case in point. As long as the "chosen ones" from the Bureau of Investigation do not do anything to harm the underworld, they believe that the underworld will not punish these "chosen ones".

After all, they are the chosen ones!
They are the destined ones and benefactors who awaken the underworld!
What they want is not for the chosen one to control the underworld, but simply for information about the underworld, the underworld's attitude, and the power that flows from the underworld to deal with ghosts and spirits!

As for whether I'll have other ideas after resolving all the paranormal events, we'll only know when that time comes.

Just as the Bureau of Investigation was establishing the "Destiny's Will" department at its headquarters, Bai Xue had already approached Hu Guohao.

"You got a black feather from Tingting, didn't you? Please give it back to me."

Hu Guohao did not agree directly.

"I need to ask for permission, please wait a moment."

Five minutes later, when Hu Guohao returned, he had a crow feather in his hand.

Hu Guohao never expected that as soon as he handed the raven feather to Bai Xue, she would directly summon the people of the underworld through that raven feather!
Before he could report it, a crow appeared in the room.

Immediately, he stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch.

"Your friend is dead. Why did you summon me?"

The Raven Prophet tilted his head and asked.

"You know Tingting is dead?"

"nature."

"Then why didn't you save her!"

Bai Xue's loud shout made the scene so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Hu Guohao watched this scene with sweat pouring down his face.

Even their director and the people in the headquarters have to be extremely careful when they see people from the underworld.

And now, there's actually a hothead shouting that he's a wanderer from the underworld!
That's really... awesome!
To his surprise, the underworld official was not angry.

"She wanted to be a ghost messenger, she wanted to take the test, she chose the paranormal events herself, and I wasn't the one who sent her to handle them."

"So why should I bother paying attention to her and trying to save her?"

Bai Xue's face was pale, but she still couldn't calm the anger in her heart.

"She's carrying a talisman from the underworld!"

"Hehe, those who take the items from the Underworld, there are hundreds of thousands in Great Xia, if not millions. What, does the Underworld have to go and rescue them one by one?"

Bai Xue's face turned even paler.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now, and I'll take back this crow feather..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Xue knelt down on the ground.

"I want to join the underworld, I want to become a ghost messenger, and I want to avenge Tingting!"

After a moment of silence, the Raven Prophet's voice rang out again.

"can."

"The conditions remain the same as before. You can call me after you have resolved the paranormal incident."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crow disappeared, leaving only a single crow feather that drifted down and was caught in Bai Xue's hand.

Hu Guohao, who was still hesitating whether to kneel down, watched this scene and suddenly felt as if he had missed a great opportunity.
