    "Evil spirits in charge, idle people retreat!"

    Just as Zhou Xin was gazing at the huge white figure, the figure suddenly let out a sound like a massive gong.

    Even though there was an enclosed car window between them, the sound still landed perfectly on Zhou Jing's ears, as if it were originating from her own mind.

    This caused Zhou Jing to momentarily lose her composure.

    "Evil spirits in charge, idle people retreat!"

    Suddenly, the sound rang out again, slightly louder than before.

    "Um?"

    Zhou Jing, who had just come to her senses, blinked slightly in confusion. What was happening? She hadn't disturbed the ghost's work at all.

    As if it realized Zhou Jing's confusion, a look of helplessness briefly crossed the ghastly face of the demonic official, "Evil spirits in charge, please get out of the car and trouble this miss."

    Now, the voice of the ghostly official seemed to have lost the amplification of a loudspeaker, no longer echoing with the sound of a deep bell. Instead, it was like that of an ordinary person, and it carried a hint of helplessness in its tone.

    "Ah? Oh, oh."

    Realizing the awkwardness, Zhou Jing hastily opened the car door and got out.

    And just as Zhou Jing stepped out of the car, the car suddenly started up. Then, with a roar from the engine, the car accelerated and vanished in a flash.

    Only Zhou Jing stood there, force-feeding herself some exhaust fumes.

    "Damn, how dare you escape from me in front of the ghost officials of Hell! I command you to surrender peacefully!"

    The ghostly official was clearly taken aback by the car's action. After a moment of hesitation, he burst into a rage instantly.

    Clanging loudly, the iron chain in the ghost official's hand wildly swung.

    The driver and the woman with her head in iron chains immediately let out a terrible scream.

    However, the ghost official paid no heed to their screams and continued to wildly twirl the iron chain in his hand.

    It was clear that the ghost official attributed the problem of the car directly to the driver and the woman.

    Now that the car had run away, the responsibility naturally fell on the driver and the woman.

    "Please, spare my life, Officer, spare my life! This really has nothing to do with me!"

    While Zhou Jing stared in disbelief and shock, the driver, who was spinning in mid-air, kept screaming continuously.

    The woman's head looked at Zhou Jing with pitiful eyes, continuously, hoping for Zhou Jing's mercy.

    Bang!

    After the ghost official didn't know how many times he swung it, the iron chain was heavily thrown to the ground by the ghost official.

    The two little ghosts were also thrown to the ground, and their mouths emitted a painful howl once again.

    "P lease... spare my life."

    "Save me, divine master!"

    The two little ghosts were still begging for mercy, but the ghost official paid no attention to them and tightened the iron chain again, showing an intention to leave right away.

    "No, wait a moment."

    Zhou Jing rushed to call out to the ghost official.

    The woman's head's gaze was too pitiful. It really made people who saw it cry.

    "Evil spirits in charge, idle people retreat!"

    The ghost official regained his previous arrogant demeanor, and the sound echoed like a deep bell once more.

    "Where are you taking them? You can take the driver away, but is it fair to this woman? She hasn't committed a serious crime."

    Zhou Jing mustered her courage to argue with the ghost official.

    "Ignorance!"

    The ghost official did not seem to care about Zhou Jing's thoughts and simply glanced at her sideways before taking a step to leave the place again.

    At this moment, the woman's head, bound by the ghost official, once again showed an endless plea in her eyes, as if she were a naive young girl praying for someone's rescue.

    "No, you can't leave without explaining! You must stay!"

    Zhou Jing couldn't figure out where she got her courage from.

    Perhaps it was because of the constant torment of her lifespan these past few days.

    Or maybe it was because after acquiring extraordinary powers, she always wanted to take some responsibility.

    Anyway, at that moment, Zhou Jing felt as though her sense of justice was bursting from within.

    She absolutely had to save the female ghost in front of her!

    "Little demon, as you have the aura of Hell on you, I have been lenient with you repeatedly. But if you continue to be obstinate, don't blame me for the Retrieval Scissors in my hand being merciless!"

    The demon official suddenly turned around, and his huge figure instantly loomed over Zhou Jing.

    It was as if a giant beast had suddenly locked eyes with you, making one shiver with fear.

    "I..."

    Zhou Jing's thoughts were still those of an ordinary person at this moment.

    It's like an ordinary person suddenly gets a gun; there is courage, but when facing regular soldiers, one still needs to be cowardly!

    "Alright, since you're sorry for this prisoner, I will let you see the sins she has committed!"

    The ghost official stared at Zhou Jing for a long time. Just when Zhou Jing thought that a fight was about to break out, the ghost official suddenly flashed a smile.

    Then, in Zhou Jing's astonished gaze, the ghost official took out a phone from his bosom and clicked a photo of the woman's head.

    "No, is the Hell so high-tech? A phone? Is this right?"

    Zhou Jing couldn't help but make a snide remark.

    As shown in TV dramas, the ghost official shouldn't be holding something like a record of life and death or a divine brush, right?

    What the hell is a mobile phone!

    This is too down-to-earth!

    "Who can blame humans for being so prolific? There are 15 billion of us, and it's hard to keep track!"

    The ghost official didn't even lift his head. He was fiddling with the phone and casually adding, "Nobody told me to do this. It's just that humans have too many people to keep track of."

    After a moment, the ghost official held the phone right in front of Zhou Jing's face.

    On the phone screen, it was the woman's life before death.

    The plot was similar to what the driver had said.

    After getting married to the driver, the woman had another lover and even had a child with him.

    Just like the driver didn't mention.

    When the driver found out about the woman's affair, she pretended to be extremely wronged and even used suicide as a means to pressure the driver into thinking it was all the lover's coercion.

    Then, the woman conspired with her lover to lure the driver to a desolate area and brutally killed him.

    What Zhou Jing didn't expect was.

    The woman didn't just kill the driver; she also tampered with the lover's car, causing an artificial vehicle accident that took both the lover and her newborn baby's lives.

    The loss of three lives brought the woman untold wealth and freedom.

    Bang, the phone screen turned off.

    "Do you still plan to save her now?"

    The ghost official put away the phone and pulled up the iron chain to allow Zhou Jing to see the woman's expression up close.

    "No, no, no. I'm sorry for disturbing you, Master."

    Having witnessed the woman's wickedness, Zhou Jing had no desire to save her anymore. She hurriedly waved her hand in apology, wishing that the woman would be destroyed immediately.

    "All right, considering you're young and innocent, I'll let this go. Farewell!"

    The ghost official nodded at Zhou Jing.

    "Oh, umm, Master, what about the car just now?"

    Zhou Jing once again called out to stop the ghost official.

    "Can't catch up!"

    However, this time, the ghost official did not stop. He replied in a mysterious tone and vanished into thin air.
