Succubus Star Sister, but the original god

This is an old method passed down from ancient Liyue. In fact, some people are still using it until now, but those who believe in it are generally old-fashioned old people. Anyone who has attended private school for a few years should understand that this method is unreliable.

Not to mention people like Hu Tao who work in the funeral industry.

"Ying is going to investigate the case today. Could it be that the Qianyan Army has also discovered something wrong?" Xing asked curiously.

"I think so too. That's why I told Lord De'an today not to worry. Maybe your daughter is still alive. Who would have thought..." Hu Tao curled her lips slightly, "That old man was simply insane. Instead, she scolded me and was anxious to bury her daughter."

"Ah?" Xing was also slightly stunned. She didn't quite understand what Lord De'an was doing. There was clearly still a glimmer of hope, so why was he in a hurry to hold the funeral?

"I heard that he sold his old house in order to have a better funeral. I don't know what he was thinking."

"Something feels fishy...Hu Tao, how about we investigate this case as well?" Xing suddenly became interested and suggested to Hu Tao.

"Hehe, it turns out that you understand me. This is actually the serious matter I came to talk to you about today." Hu Tao smiled and nudged her little head in Xing's arms.

Although Hu Tao only handles funerals and is relatively good at doing so, it would still be very uncomfortable if the funeral was not done clearly.

"Really? I thought my job today was only to serve the hall master." Xing moved her little hands again and said with a smile.

"Of course this is part of your job... but you can't do it all day long." Kurumi said with a pout, her cheeks slightly red.

Even if she really wanted to "work" like this with Xing for a whole day, she didn't have the physical strength to do it.

"But how do we check it?" Xing couldn't help but ask.

Do we have to take the initiative to contact the Qianyan Army?

"Just ask the deceased and all the truth will be revealed." Walnut said casually.

"Ask...the dead?"

"Hello, Miss Ying, I am Ye Lan who is in charge of this matter."

"Ah... hello, hello." Ying quickly stood up and stretched out her hand to shake hands with the other person.

She and Paimon arrived here early in the morning, but she didn't expect that after being respectfully invited into the house by the Qianyan Army, the Qianyan Army just asked her to wait.

Ying didn't know what she was waiting for, but she still calmed down the somewhat impatient Paimon and waited patiently.

After all, the Thousand Winds Army is the official force of Liyue, so they shouldn’t act without a purpose.

Sure enough, after waiting for an unknown amount of time and drinking several cups of tea, the door of the room was finally opened again.

The person who came in was a woman with blue hair and wearing a white shawl with sleeves.

The first time he saw her, Ying immediately became alert.

It's not because this woman is so dangerous, nor because she is so beautiful.

Because she had a hunch that this person could be taken down by Xing.

Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, and she had already started to make her own plans in her mind.

"Miss Ying, please sit down first. We can talk slowly." Ye Lan looked at Ying who was still standing there, not knowing what she was thinking, and could not help but say slowly.

"Ah? Oh, okay!" Ying finally reacted, nodded and sat down again.

Ye Lan picked up the teapot on the table and poured another cup of tea for Ying.

At the same time, she was secretly looking at Ying and was also thinking about something in her mind.

This incident can be said to be neither big nor small. Although it is horrifying to find a body in Liyue Harbor, where there has not been a homicide case in many years, this incident does not seem to be a simple case of a rich lady jumping into a well to commit suicide due to depression.

But even if there really was some conspiracy behind this matter, it was far from the point where she had to be held responsible.

She would ask Ningguang for this case directly for one purpose, which was to find an opportunity to make reasonable contact with Ying and Xing.

When investigating someone, she would never just stare at them from afar, as that would not yield any information.

Chapter 27 Border

The heads of the Wangsheng Hall in all generations have been responsible for guarding the border.

Walnut introduced a lot of history about the Hall of the Reborn to Xing.

The earliest Wangsheng Hall was not the funeral institution it is today. On the contrary, it was more like a medical clinic that cured illnesses and saved lives.

During the Demon War, corpses were everywhere, lives were lost, infectious diseases spread everywhere, and "death" madly devoured the world of the living.

At that time, the Hall of Rebirth was born, and as insignificant human beings, it took a long time to drive death back.

After a long time, Liyue Port prospered, and everyone was chasing fame and Mora. Finally, a crazy man touched the "legacy" of death.

The remnants of the devil wreak havoc on the world. It is the destruction of "life" at the extreme, and the backlash of "death" at the end.

After that, it was a long, long time before the balance was restored and the boundaries were drawn, resulting in today's Liyue Harbor, the Hall of Rebirth, and...

"Hu Tao, can you tell me more?" Xing was still not satisfied and asked quickly.

"No! You are really curious, but it's better not to know things you don't need to know." Hu Tao shook his head firmly, then spread his hands and said.

"Anyway, just treat these things as stories. Just remember that the current Wangsheng Hall is engaged in the funeral business."

"Oh... okay." Xing nodded and returned her gaze to the present.

This is a forest. For some unknown reason, a faint mist appears around. Against the backdrop of the dark night, it looks a bit scary and weird.

This piece of land seems to be called Wuwangpo?

"Hu Tao, can we really find that person from the border?" Xing couldn't help but ask.

Hu Tao said that if we ask the deceased, all the truth will be revealed.

But there is no guarantee that you will find that person's ghost.

"It's hard to say. Generally speaking, those who have regrets will stay at the border for a while." Walnut walked in front, hopping and skipping. He seemed very familiar with the environment here.

I don't know how many times I've been here.

"Of course, there is another possibility. Because the resentment is too deep, it has turned into a fierce ghost."

"If that's the case, the best we can do is give her a ride, and forget about getting any intelligence."

"Evil ghosts... So people really turn into ghosts after they die?" Xing's knowledge of these things only came from movies or stories.

She had never thought that there were real evil ghosts in the world. When Xiangling told her that the house was haunted when she rented it, she just laughed it off.

It seems that if I rent a house again in the future, I have to investigate whether it is a haunted house.

"It happens occasionally, but it's not a big deal. The causes are very complicated, and it's not as scary as you think..." Walnut rubbed his head and stopped.

"It's just ahead."

After walking for such a long time without realizing it, they finally arrived at their destination.

The boundary between life and death is located deep in Wuwang Slope. Ordinary people cannot enter and are not allowed to enter. Except for the past generations of the Rebirth Hall Masters, few people can come here.

Of course, in Walnut's view, it was just an ordinary place, nothing special about it except that it was unknown.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong in making an exception and bringing Xing here. The only problem is that the border is still somewhat dangerous.

Hu Tao knew that Xing was very powerful and was confident that she could protect Xing within the border.

But in that kind of place, no one can predict whether there will be any accidents...

"Xing, why don't you stay here and wait for me?" Hu Tao turned and looked at Xing.

"Now that we're here, I think we should go together." Xing shook her head. She was also very interested in the ordinary place between life and death that Walnut mentioned.

"Well, okay, then you have to follow me closely, and don't be too surprised if you encounter something you don't understand."

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Hu Tao said not to be too surprised when encountering something incomprehensible, but it is hard not to be surprised when experiencing something like being trapped in a maze personally. Xing seemed to have had a similar experience before, but the memory was a bit vague and he couldn't remember it clearly.

Fortunately, Hu Tao was almost familiar with the place. She knew the secrets of the mechanisms here very well. It seemed that this was a place specially arranged by the Wangsheng Hall to prevent others from entering by mistake.

"That place in front..." Xing looked at the bright place with a wide view in the distance and widened his eyes slightly.

"It's a place quite close to death, but it's not the hell or underworld as in the legends. It's just a place where the earth veins are more disordered." Walnut shrugged and walked forward holding Xing's hand.

There were many transparent figures around, some of them were walking in a hurry, some had resentful expressions.

These were genuine ghosts, Xing could tell.

"Master Hu?" An old man's voice suddenly sounded.

"Eh? You are..." Walnut turned around and looked at the old man who was talking to her, feeling a little familiar.

"You don't remember, you sent me away in person."

"Um...ah, it's Mr. Zhang." After staring at the old man for a while, Hu Tao finally realized.

This old man lived in Liyue Harbor. He accidentally fell down the stairs a month ago, hit his head and unfortunately passed away.

Naturally, the funeral was also handled by Hu Tao.

However, the appearance of the soul at the moment was a little difficult to see clearly, and Hu Tao thought for a long time before finally remembering it.

"Why would Master Hu come to a place like this? And this girl? Strangers are not allowed to come here."

"There are some things that need to be investigated..." Xing said slowly, looking at the ghost in front of him, he suddenly felt curious.

This is a real ghost, Xing has never seen one before.

"That's great, Mr. Zhang. You've been here for at least a month. Are there any new people recently?" Hu Tao asked hurriedly.

"It's a girl, not very old..." Xing also added a few words about her physical characteristics.

These are the physical characteristics of Hua Chu that they found out through investigation.

"Although there is a girl, her appearance is slightly different from what you described." The ghost of Mr. Zhang thought carefully for a long time before finally speaking slowly.

"Oh? Where is she?" Hu Tao's eyes lit up.

Although the physical features do not match, this may also mean that the girl named Hua Chu is not dead, and the body found at the source of the Feiyunpo water is someone else.

"She has already crossed the border." Old Master Zhang shook his head.

"what?"

Chapter 28 Isn't this a coincidence?

On the way back, although the two people were not dejected, it could be seen that they were not in a very high spirits.

After all, there was nothing gained from this trip. Of course, they had already prepared themselves mentally for this.

However, Walnut was obviously more concerned than Xing. She had a confused look on her face and was thinking silently along the way.

"This shouldn't be possible. If the dead person wasn't Hua Chu, how could he have crossed the border so quickly and reached the place he was supposed to be?" Hu Tao kept repeating this sentence along the way.

The border is the dividing line between life and death. Many deceased people will stay here, either because they still have a strong attachment to the present world, or because they have some unfulfilled wishes.

This happens to many people who die of natural causes, not to mention those who die accidentally.

If the corpse found by Qianyan Army was just Hua Chu's scapegoat, how could he not have any attachment or regret towards this world? He should have some, right?

This really left Hu Tao completely puzzled.

"Things are not that simple indeed." Xing looked at Hu Tao's expression and shrugged helplessly.

If they could meet the dead girl and ask her everything, the truth would naturally come out. Unfortunately, things did not go so smoothly and they still had to conduct some other investigations.

"It seems that we should start investigating from other aspects. Besides, Ying has also gone to the Qianyan Army, maybe there will be some other clues."

"Alas, this is all we can do." Walnut sighed.

Wuwangpo is very close to the stone gate, in other words, it is very far from Liyue Harbor. It took Xing and Hu Tao a long time to get here.

After walking for so long, we didn't get any valuable clues, which is really disappointing.

"But Hu Tao, if we go back the same way, isn't it a bit too slow?" Xing suddenly stopped, looked at the cliff beside him, and then said to Hu Tao.

"Huh? But there is no other way here. If we don't go back the same way, do we have to go down the mountain from this cliff?" Walnut asked puzzledly.

However, Xing really planned to do so. Wuwangpo is at a high altitude, and it would be a waste of time to turn back.

She waved to Hu Tao, and Hu Tao obediently walked in front of her and looked at her puzzledly.

"I have wings of wind, I can just fly down from here." Xing took out his wings of wind.

She has used the Wings of Wind to lead people more than once, but she is not very skilled at it.
