Chapter 18 The Choice

At first, the evil spirit didn't react, but after a while, it let out a shrill scream.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

The evil spirit felt as if its scalp was about to explode, along with a piercing pain.

This kind of pain was not something an ordinary ghost could endure.

"Weren't you very arrogant just now? You can't take it so quickly?" Zhang Dali said coldly, looking at the evil spirit.

The evil spirit didn't expect this thing to be so powerful. Rather than endure this kind of pain, it would rather have its soul scattered!

"If you have the ability, just kill me directly! What kind of skill is it to use such despicable methods?" the evil spirit said, unconvinced.

It had to be said that this guy had a really tough mouth!

Yuan Mu Ye stepped forward, stared into the evil spirit's eyes, and spoke again: "Do you know what's more terrifying than death?"

The evil spirit was stunned. It didn't expect Yuan Mu Ye to say that suddenly, and looked at Yuan Mu Ye with a puzzled expression, asking, "What bullshit are you going to say now?"

Yuan Mu Ye didn't speak, this time directly freezing its hands.

For some evil spirits, they might not be afraid of death, but they would definitely be afraid of losing what they currently possessed.

Afterwards, Yuan Mu Ye instructed Zhang Dali and Yuan Xiao Yao to absorb the evil spirit's Daoxing (cultivation).

When the two of them heard this, a trace of excitement instantly appeared on their faces.

As for the evil spirit, it was directly dumbfounded!

Without its Daoxing, it would be even more uncomfortable than torturing it.

The evil spirit finally begged for mercy.

"No, I don't want to become a useless ghost."

"Then will you talk or not?" Yuan Mu Ye pressed.

The evil spirit gnashed its teeth as it looked at him. Although it was angry in its heart, there was nothing it could do.

"If I tell you, will you let me go?"

Yuan Mu Ye said coldly: "You are not qualified to negotiate with me now."

"Negative emotional value from Liu Yan +999!"

The evil spirit hesitated for a long time, but finally confessed.

This time, a total of about thirty high-level evil spirits had come, and other evil spirits would enter Yun City later. As for how many, Liu Yan didn't know.

After Yuan Mu Ye understood the general situation, he directly threw him to Zhang Dali and Yuan Xiao Yao.

"After you two finish him off, help me investigate the whereabouts of other evil spirits. If you encounter any that are more powerful than you, notify me immediately. Don't act rashly. If you encounter people from the Spirit Control Bureau, stay away."

Yuan Mu Ye reminded them with some concern.

Now, the people from the Spirit Control Bureau were definitely searching for evil spirits on the streets, so it was always right to be careful.

"I knew you weren't a good person. May you die a horrible death…"

Liu Yan angrily cursed Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye acted as if he hadn't heard it and left directly.

After coming out of the alley, Yuan Mu Ye asked the girl where she lived.

The girl, who had been terrified, now had a calm look on her face.

She looked at Yuan Mu Ye with a calm gaze, and inexplicably asked, "Do you really think you can protect Yun City?"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye widened his eyes in disbelief, glanced at the girl, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him.

"Why do you ask that?" Yuan Mu Ye asked back in confusion.

"Actually, things have already been decided. No matter how hard you try, it's useless."

When the girl said this, she didn't feel like a child at all.

Yuan Mu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and questioned the girl, "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in approaching me?"

"I just want to tell you that your Spirit Control Bureau can't protect Yun City. You should leave here quickly! Otherwise, you might die in Yun City," the girl said casually.

But in Yuan Mu Ye's opinion, these words were not meant to scare him. He guessed that the girl must know something, and that approaching him might be to tell him something.

Last time, when Yama appeared, he also said something like that to him. Could it be that the girl in front of him was sent by Yama to persuade him to give up Yun City?

Yuan Mu Ye had done so many things to protect Yun City, how could he give up so easily?

Even if it meant losing his life, he would not leave Yun City, because he had promised everyone in the Spirit Control Bureau that he would not give up until the very end.

"If you were sent by Yama to persuade me, then you should give up this idea as soon as possible. I will not give up, nor will I leave Yun City," Yuan Mu Ye's tone was indifferent, but his words were filled with determination.

The girl sighed helplessly and said, "I wasn't sent by Yama. Have you really thought about it? Do you want to stay in Yun City?"

Yuan Mu Ye was stunned. If this girl wasn't sent by Yama, then why was she trying to persuade him to leave Yun City?

"What exactly do you want to say?" Yuan Mu Ye pressed.

"I guess someone has already told you that this is just a game of heaven, right? I'm here this time just to tell you that the game is not what heaven intended. There are some things that even gods can't change," the girl said in a serious manner.

Yuan Mu Ye was already confused, but after hearing what the girl said, he was even more confused.

What did the girl mean by this?

What did she mean by even the gods can't do anything?

Could it be that the girl in front of him was a god?

"Who exactly are you? What is the purpose of telling me this?"

"Actually, we've already met before, and more than once. I guess you've already suspected my identity. But then again, who I am is not important. What's important is that if you really want to protect Yun City, I can help you,"

The girl blurted out.

Yuan Mu Ye only found it a little ridiculous. How could the girl help him? Did the girl have some great ability?

"Don't joke with me here. So many of us can't protect Yun City, how can you help me?"

Yuan Mu Ye didn't believe what the girl said, because he felt that it was impossible.

"How to help, you'll know when the time comes. What you need to do now is to hold on to your belief."

As for other things, the girl didn't say much. Before Yuan Mu Ye could speak, the girl disappeared into thin air in front of him.

Yuan Mu Ye stood there in a daze for a while before he came back to his senses.

He began to think carefully about the girl's identity. The girl said that they had already met before, but he had no impression of the girl at all, so the only possibility was that when they met before, the girl was not using her current appearance.

Yuan Mu Ye thought of many people, but the only ones he found suspicious were Tian Tian and the old lady.

The appearances of these two people were very coincidental every time. Yuan Mu Ye suspected that they might be the same person, but he didn't have any solid evidence.
