Chapter 98 Man in Black Robe
The three adults standing nearby watched with growing anxiety.
"You are fine!"
The water ghost, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace, lunged at the people on the shore, baring its fangs and claws, shouting, "I'll tear you to pieces!"
"I'm not afraid of you, it's just that you're not cooperating."
Xiao Jiujiu sneered, "You're asking for it!"
She pinched a copper coin between her fingers and threw it, hitting the water ghost precisely on the forehead.
"You brat, what are you trying to do!" the water ghost screamed, clutching his forehead and glaring venomously at Xiao Jiu Jiu.
He was perfectly fine underwater, what did he do to deserve this?
I haven't offended this ancestor!
"You have a history of murder on you."
Little Nine-Nine glanced at it indifferently: "I advise you to cooperate with me obediently, so that you can suffer less physical pain."
"What exactly do you want from me?" the water ghost wailed, as if it had suffered a great injustice.
Xiao Jiujiu scoffed, "I'm asking you, did you see a man here a few days ago?"
"I've seen plenty of men, I'm not a garbage can, I don't eat them all!" The water ghost snorted arrogantly.
Little Nine-Nine: ...
"Tell the truth!" She pulled out Chen Jia's photo and placed it in front of the water ghost: "Is this it? Isn't it?"
The water ghost's small eyes darted around, full of wicked thoughts: "I've never seen them before. So many people have come here, how could I possibly know them all!"
"you are lying."
Yu Zhinian, who was not far away, saw through the water ghost at a glance.
Qin Yuhai also said, "I can tell you're lying. You should just tell the truth."
"Did you hear that! Everyone saw it!"
Xiao Jiujiu scoffed, "You think you can fool me? I have three sharp-eyed eagles with me by my side!"
"I'm not lying to you. I haven't been here long, and I've only seen a few men fishing. I've never seen this person before."
The water ghost thought for a moment and then said, "I'm too hungry. Unless you give me some food, I might remember you after I'm full."
The talisman that the little girl lit just now smelled so good, he really wanted to eat it!
Otherwise, it wouldn't have come here just by smelling the aroma.
Little Nine-Nine glanced at it: "Want it? Answer my question, don't pretend, or I'll have to use other methods."
"Tch, what methods can you use?"
Besides, I wasn't making this up; I was just hungry and couldn't remember..."
The water ghost still tried to argue.
Just then, the surrounding temperature dropped another two degrees.
Two figures, one in black and one in white, appeared silently behind Xiao Jiu Jiu.
It was none other than the Black and White Impermanence.
Qin Yuyang and the others couldn't see it, but Yu Zhinian could: "This..."
A mysterious figure.
Xiao Jiujiu glanced at Yu Zhinian, then at Qin Yuyang and the other person who seemed confused.
He looked at the water ghost with a sly smile: "Aren't you going to tell the truth now?"
The water ghost trembled and dared not move.
Fan Wujiu stepped forward from behind, his face cold and stern, holding the Soul-Hooking Rope in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You audacious water ghost! You've been on the run for many years and refused to go to the underworld, causing havoc in the human world! Why don't you surrender at once!"
Xie Bi'an, standing to the side, smiled and gently tapped the water ghost's head with his mourning stick.
The sound was crisp, like a watermelon.
"You have spent a considerable amount of time in the human world and have killed several people. Your lifespan has ended more than a decade ago."
They don't behave themselves when they see us, are they tired of living?
Despite Xie Bi'an's smiling face and gentle manner, he is actually a complete wolf in sheep's clothing.
The water ghost was so frightened it almost lost its soul.
It was surprisingly flexible, immediately kneeling on the ground with a thud and begging for mercy incoherently, "My lords, please spare my life! I didn't mean to! I really didn't!"
This, this person…
As it spoke, it glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu, looking quite aggrieved.
If they come and don't say who they are, how are they supposed to prepare the food?
Xiao Jiu Jiu: "I didn't mean to!"
Her expression was particularly comical, and she deliberately repeated it.
Water Ghost: ...
"My lord, spare my life! I was forced to, I didn't mean to keep quiet!" The water ghost didn't care about anything else and quickly kowtowed to Xiao Jiu Jiu.
If it weren't for the two scary ghosts standing behind Little Nine, it wouldn't be so humble.
"Forced?"
Little Nine crossed its arms and looked at it leisurely: "Come on, tell everyone, who forced you?"
The water ghost glanced at Xiao Jiujiu with trepidation.
His eyes kept rolling.
Where did this little girl come from? She's so capable!
"Say!"
Fan Wujiu said sternly.
The water ghost shuddered, looking at the menacing Black and White Impermanence, and said tremblingly, "There was a man in black robes, but I... I can't remember what he looked like..."
"I can't remember what use you are! Think again!"
Xiao Jiujiu said fiercely.
The water ghost thought for a moment, then continued, "He took a boat to the middle of the reservoir, and I wanted to drag them into the water."
As a result, he dropped the man.
At the time, the water ghost thought someone had walked right into its trap.
The result was that the person was dead.
Suddenly lost interest.
"I surfaced, intending to drag the man in the black robe down with me, but I got beaten up."
At this point, the water ghost looked particularly aggrieved.
The main problem was that the beating hurt quite a bit, and it lost its dignity as a ghost.
"And then?" Xiao Jiujiu asked, frowning.
The water ghost whispered, "He said that as long as I help him trap this man underwater and prevent him from surfacing, he will burn a lot of incense for me!"
He also said he had a way to help me cultivate and become a Ghost King, so that I could come up from underwater and transform into human form…
If it weren't for these things, it wouldn't have helped.
Yu Zhinian coldly asked, "Then why did you let Chen Jia's body float to the surface again?"
"After practicing for the past few days, I found it had no effect, so I gave up and stopped caring about the corpse."
"Besides, I'm perfectly fine in the water. I don't want a stinking corpse to appear here." The water ghost completely forgot how outrageous its appearance was when it said this.
Everyone:...
Yu Zhinian then asked, "What did that man look like?"
"I already said it's a black robe, you can't even see the face, how am I supposed to know what it looks like..."
The water ghost tried hard to recall for a long time, but couldn't remember anything.
Obviously, relying on it is useless.
Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at him with some disbelief: "Are you sure you're telling the truth?"
"I am sure!"
The water ghost nodded hastily.
Xiao Jiujiu then said, "Alright, I'll take that as you telling the truth."
"Uncle Xie, Uncle Fan, please take it with you."
Xiao Jiujiu smiled at the Black and White Impermanence.
The latter nodded and dragged the water ghost away.
As the water ghost left, it howled, "No, I already told you, why did you take me away..."
"Hey, wait!"
Suddenly, Xiao Jiu Jiu remembered something and quickly called out to the Black and White Impermanence again.
The water ghost's eyes lit up when he thought Xiao Jiu Jiu had a change of heart and was going to let him go...
