Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 704 - 713: Real or Fake? (10th Update)
Ye Ling started complaining, "In the middle of the night, when we finally caught a living person, you scared them off. How are we supposed to investigate the case now?"
Zhang Qian, who was beside Ye Ling, smacked her lips and said, "You're a grown man, but you're nagging like an old lady. What's the point?"
"Let's go. I refuse to believe that I can't help you find another living person. Come on, let's wait at the dormitory over there."
Zhang Qian said and dragged Ye Ling away. Ye Ling sighed, thinking it looked like they'd come back empty-handed tonight; he was utterly convinced of his misfortune.
On one side of the dormitory was a vast lawn dotted with fitness equipment installed for the company employees to work out.
Ye Ling sat on a piece of equipment, idly pedaling, when suddenly Zhang Qian's eyes bulged, and she trembled, her speech unclear.
"Ghost… Ye… Ye Ling, look quickly. It's really… a ghost, oh my god!"
Zhang Qian pointed with a frightened look not far away. Ye Ling focused his gaze and thought, damn, a figure really did pop out, but it was definitely not a ghost.
Nearby was a woman, dressed similarly to Zhang Qian, also in a white outfit, with disheveled hair and even some bloodstains on her clothes.
But Ye Ling could sense the strong vitality emanating from her body. She wasn't a ghost at all.
"Come here, let me tell you something, hehe."
Ye Ling pulled Zhang Qian close and whispered in her ear. She was startled for a moment, "Really? Are you lying to me? You know I get scared easily."
"Damn, why would I lie to you? She's really human. Go ahead, really."
Ye Ling chuckled and, with a flick of his finger, sealed off Zhang Qian's life force. Instantly, her face turned pale; all signs of life vanished from her, replaced by a chilling aura.
The woman nearby was walking mechanically, looking for a target. Suddenly, she saw a woman looking almost identical to herself slowly approaching.
"Hey? Something's not right. The organization didn't say they were sending anyone else tonight. Is it for the bonus? Damn it, making a living is such a pain."
The woman grumbled and then walked straight up to Zhang Qian, pushing her shoulder with dissatisfaction, "Hey, are you new here? Don't you know this is my territory tonight? Beat it!"
With that, Zhang Qian felt much more at ease. Hehe, it turned out Ye Ling didn't lie to her; this woman really was alive.
Thinking this, she felt quite pleased; now it was time to show off her acting skills.
Next, would be the moment to witness a miracle. Ladies and gentlemen, the best actress is about to be born!
Zhang Qian slightly lifted her head, her pale face devoid of any color, "Are you talking to me?"
Her voice naturally carried a horror effect, which stunned the woman pretending to be a ghost. She actually felt a bit creeped out and upon a closer look at Zhang Qian, thought that she truly looked like a ghost.
"Uh, let's not mess around. We're from the same company. You've done a great job with your makeup; it looks so real. I should get mine done there too."
The woman felt her heart leap to her throat, as if it would jump out the moment she opened her mouth.
Zhang Qian grinned, her eyes suddenly bulging, "Oh? I can take you there. Come with me, come on, come on."
Hearing Zhang Qian say this, the woman was struck by a numb sensation that spread instantly throughout her body, raising goosebumps and sending a shiver through her heart.
"Oh my god, it's real. Old Wang, Old Wang, save me!"
The woman turned and fled, thinking that today she'd encountered a real one. It was a matter of life and death, and she quickly called out to her companion.
The next moment, two burly men emerged from the corner, each holding a gleaming dagger, radiating an aura of death.
"Guihua, what the hell are you screaming about? Why is there another one? Did the company send another?"
One of the thugs muttered, stunned, as the pale-faced Guihua ran behind the two men, shaking all over, "Bullshit, this is the real deal!"
Real deal?
What real deal? At this, the two thugs also froze, their bodies suddenly trembling. What Guihua was talking about, it couldn't be that, could it?
She looked truly sinister, and her face was devoid of any color. More importantly, her smile was so unnerving it sent chills down their spines.
"Come on! Kill her, Old Wang, hurry up and kill her. I'm about to piss myself here!"
The woman was quivering with fear, her voice trembling as she spoke. Old Wang on the other hand could hardly hold his knife steady, "Damn it, you go, why don't you do it?"
"That's a ghost, for fuck's sake. I don't know how she can be killed. No, that's wrong; she's already dead."
Old Wang was at a loss. He had never seen anything like this. What was he supposed to do in a situation he had never faced before?
In that moment, Ye Ling stepped forward, a cold smile on his face. By now, if he hadn't realized what was happening, he would indeed be an idiot.
This group was purposely creating ghostly apparitions to scare people, then kill them to harvest their organs for trafficking.
These people had blood-stained hands, turning countless lives into bundles of banknotes. They all deserved to die!
"Guys, I think it's best to discuss the matter of ghosts in front of the law."
Ye Ling approached with a cold laugh and then patted Zhang Qian on the shoulder, causing the deathly aura to vanish, replaced by a strong sense of vitality.
"Hehe, not bad for a performance, right? Look how scared they were. Hehe, praise me."
Zhang Qian grinned, and Old Wang and Guihua immediately gritted their teeth in rage. They had finally realized they had fallen into a trap!
"Kid, I think you're tired of living, daring to trouble us. Ha, I've killed many, and I don't mind adding one more!"
As Old Wang spoke, he stepped forward with his dagger ready, and his companion did the same.
Ye Ling nodded, "You're right, I too have killed many, and I don't mind taking down a few more beasts!"

However, just at that moment, a wisp of white smoke slowly emerged from behind Guihua, and a woman patted her on the shoulder.
Guihua turned around to face another disheveled woman in white, but her face was identical to Zhang Qian's!
"Damn it, another one? You really think you can fool me?"
Thwack, Guihua swung her hand at the woman, but it passed right through the woman's head.
Guihua was dumbstruck, as were Old Wang and the others, including Zhang Qian.
"Ye Ling, you say... this one... is real?"
Zhang Qian asked haltingly, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
