Looking at the two unidentified creatures standing in the elevator, Lu Qiu quickly shifted his gaze to his phone screen.

But the scene I had just seen kept replaying in my mind.

Two "people" holding iron chains and wearing long robes, one with a bull's head and the other with a horse's face, appeared in the elevator directly in front of him, coming face to face with him.

Lu Qiu couldn't bear to read a single word of the contract on his phone. He pursed his lips, clutching the stone in his hand, and heard it shatter.

His worldview, which had not been completely shattered before, was now utterly destroyed.

However, before he could react, the other person spoke first.

"Wow, that startled me! I haven't seen such a dense purple aura in over a hundred years." The ox's mouth twitched, its round eyes filled with astonishment.

"A Ziwei star like this only appears once every few centuries." The horse's mouth twitched. "It's been a long time since I last encountered one."

"What's he doing sitting there? People with that kind of constitution don't get sick, do they?"

"Didn't you see his leg is injured? He seems like a good person, otherwise the purple aura wouldn't be so strong as to damage his very foundation."

"Hurry up and go fetch the soul, we're too late."

"You know what the doctors at this hospital are like. Didn't our little brother wait all night the other day, and the guy was saved? Coming too early wouldn't have made any difference. Going now might be just in time."

"Too."

Lu Qiu watched them walk past him, chatting as they went, carrying the chains. Remembering Xia Wange's instructions, he hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile and saying, "You two..."

As soon as he spoke, the two people on the other end stopped in their tracks, turned around in surprise, and stared intently at Lu Qiu. "You can see us?"

Lu Qiu raised her deep, beautiful eyes and calmly met their gaze.

He started brainstorming furiously, but in an instant, he said, "I just heard you guys say you've been running into empty-handed many times. How about we collaborate on a soul-collecting app?"

A bull-headed figure and a horse-faced figure tilted their heads and looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Lu Qiu licked his slightly dry lower lip and said with a forced smile, "We can cooperate with the hospital to collect souls in a unified manner and transport them collectively. It's convenient, fast, and truly allows for simultaneous communication. If someone dies here, the other side will receive the message. After placing an order, the destination can be reached within half a day in the same city, and within three days in other cities. You just need to receive the order. We'll strive to make it so that you only have to make one trip to get things done, saving manpower... Soul power and ghost power, simple, fast, and mission accomplished."

In the blink of an eye, the two ghostly messengers, who were originally ten steps away from him, instantly appeared in front of him.

Lu Qiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced a smile despite being bombarded by a bull's head and a horse's head. "What do you two think?"

Ox-Head looked at Horse-Face and said, "It's amazing that he can actually see us."

Horse-faced also looked at Ox-headed, "That app he was talking about earlier seems really powerful."

Lu Qiu rubbed his temples, feeling that he should demand compensation from Xia Wange for emotional distress.

Meanwhile, Xia Wange and Zhao Wan ran to the emergency room to make Lu Qiu's efforts worthwhile.

"What's going on, sister! Why are you calling Boss Lu Qiu?! Wow, you've really made it big in just a few days!" Zhao Wan asked quickly.

"We're in a hurry, we'll talk about it later." Xia Wange said, pulling a palm-sized scarecrow from her bag. "Where are they?"

Zhao Wan pointed to a mother and daughter sitting on a stool in the corner, "They're over there."

Upon seeing Zhao Wan and Xia Wange arrive, the mother and daughter quickly stood up and walked over. Neither of them showed any sadness on their faces; their eyes were resolute, as if they were about to go to war. It seemed that everything that had happened during this period had completely destroyed everything they had envisioned. Now, they were to be addressed as members of the Niohuru clan.

"Aunt Wenqin, Cao Yu," Zhao Wan quickly introduced, "Master Xia."

"Hello, Master Xia." Wen Qin stepped forward to shake hands, being extremely polite.

"Hello, Master Xia," Cao Yu said.

"Without further ado, I'll get to work." Xia Wange felt that if she didn't hurry up, the Chosen One would curse her to death in his heart. "When I talk to him later, you guys pretend you didn't see me and continue to pretend to be anxiously waiting for him to be rescued. When I ask for the password, it would be better if you could cry a few times, so that the questioning will be faster."

Wenqin hesitated. "Do I really have to cry? Just thinking about how he's treated us all these years makes me want to tear him apart and drink his blood!"

Xia Wange took out cinnabar and scribbled, not even looking up. "Just imagine, you two are about to have all his money, living in a big house, with hundreds of dollars in interest arriving in your account every day when you wake up. One second you're in bed thinking about what to eat, and the next second the tenants' rent of several thousand dollars is deposited into your account. The next day you're worrying about where to go, and the third day you're worrying about where to collect rent. You can hire the most handsome maids, the best bodyguards, and even recover money from the mistresses. You can hire the most expensive lawyers. Shouldn't you be crying tears of joy at such a life?"

Upon hearing this, Wenqin immediately burst into tears. Wiping away her tears, she cried through the glass, "Ahua, Ahua, you're dead... Hahaha, what will become of us, mother and son!"

Cao Yu followed behind her mother. Thinking of the hardships her mother had endured for that man over the years, she felt a pang of heartache and began to shed tears.

When she was little, her impressions of her father were all from her mother's words. She was a stranger to her father as a person; she only knew that he existed in the family, and that was all.

It was her mother who raised her by setting up her stall every day, rain or shine. Whenever the family acquired a big item, her mother would always tell her that her father was very busy and worked very hard. She said that the refrigerator, the air conditioner, and the bed were all obtained because her father worked hard on construction projects in other places and was never home.

As she grew up, every time she saw her father chatting and drinking at the dinner table during holidays, and her grandmother who always complained that her mother had given birth to a daughter, and her mother's frostbite from trying to save money, she felt resentful towards her father.

Now that she knows the whole truth, she wishes she could seal her father's ashes with cement.

Doesn't he always say he's busy with engineering projects?

Then you'll be busy even after you die.

But after listening to Master Xia's words, she suddenly realized that as long as they succeeded, they would have plenty of time to enjoy everything and could spend the money he earned to live happily for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of all this, Cao Yu felt that all her suffering had come to an end, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were in a similar state, Xia Wange looked at Zhao Wan.

Zhao Wan immediately realized what was happening and went between the mother and daughter, patting one and comforting her with words of comfort, her expression full of grief.

Seeing that the situation was right, Xia Wange stretched out a finger and gently brushed it across her eyes. Instantly, the world became colorful. She looked at the ward and found that the soul of the person being rescued had left their body and was wandering around aimlessly. She gently tapped the scarecrow's head and made a "rise" gesture. In an instant, the soul that was still wandering around the ward jumped out of the scarecrow.
