Chapter 603 - Special World 600

Stable World, Afterlife Department.

"The Soul Eaters?" Gu Shi frowned after he heard what Yi Bing said. "The Soul Eaters of our world are stronger than the Soul Eaters that might be formed in other worlds for our world is stable, and so the Soul Eaters here in this world can cultivate smoother than the Soul Eaters of the other worlds, if there are there." He explained. "That's why, the Soul Eaters of our world have now reached their cultivation that able them to transform into humans, making them become more deceptive." He told Yi Bing.

Yi Bing frowned. "This is indeed alarming." He said.

"Don't worry. The Afterlife Department still can handle it." Di San spoke. "There is also the mortal realm's Ability Users Department. Even the obscure Supernatural Department stepped in." he said.

Yi Bing's brow twitched when he heard the name 'Supernatural Department'. It is Hao Baiyun's team and he is supervising it. It is a special department, as its name implies. Likewise is the Ability Users Department, or sometimes called the 'Youth Department' since its members are composed of young men and women who have supernatural abilities. Most of them, though, are delinquents. 

"En." Yi Bing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Mentioning Hao Baiyun, he recalled that time when he and Huo Ling first met him in that square-shaped apartment. Huo Ling was stabbed in that apartment just because he delivered food that was ordered.

Yi Bing heaved a sigh when he recalled it. Then, he turned to Gu Shi and Di San. "Just tell me if you need a hand." He told them.

"En." They nodded.

"Eh? Yi Bing, is Huo Ling out of his probation period?" Di San asked. He is referring to Yi Bing's own probation period for his apprentice.

"Yes. Haven't you read his reports?" Yi Bing's brows raised as he asked and he looked at Di San while smirking. Obviously, he looks proud of his apprentice.

"Tch." Di San clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes at him. Looking proud as if it was your own efforts when it was Huo Ling's! Hmph! He secretly scoffed. "Didn't. I was busy. I went to Special World 600 since I noticed a problem there." He answered.

"Special World 600?" Yi Bing muttered when he felt that it sounds familiar.

"Hm?" Di San muttered as he pulled up a file. "Hey! Yi Bing! Haven't you gone to this world before?!" he exclaimed as he opened the folder before he handed it to Yi Bing.

Hearing Di San's gloating tone, Yi Bing's brow twitched in annoyance. He has an ill foreboding as he took the folder. His face looked like he is going to take a venomous snake.

"Hehe." Di San grinned at him.

Gu Shi looked at them from behind. His expression is amused.

"Special World 600…" Yi Bing read the file before his whole being froze. "… you are kidding me, right?" he asked as his face darkened. He glared at Di San before he glared at Gu Shi whose lip twitched.

"Hey. Don't glare at me…" Gu Shi pushed his swivel chair away.

"I still haven't collected your debt because of what you did to me in this world." Yi Bing said through his gritted teeth as he murderously glared at Gu Shi.

"HEY!" Gu Shi exclaimed when he felt that he can't move his swivel chair anymore. He looked down and saw that the wheels of his swivel chair was covered in ice. "Yi Bing… I have no choice!" he said.

Yi Bing frowned as he threw the folder to Di San's table, making a loud sound which made Di San jump, startled. "You…" he clenched his fists as he continued to glare at Gu Shi who is trembling in fear.

"H – how about this?" Gu Shi cleared his throat as he fought against his fear. "To make it up to you, I will give the case to you so you and Huo Ling could reminisce in this yao world?" he asked and looked at Yi Bing as he forced a smile.

"Re. Mi. Nisce?!" Yi Bing spoke through his gritted teeth.

"Hey! Hear me out!" Gu Shi immediately raised his hands as if he wants to surrender. "Look. Huo Ling has once reincarnated in this world. Since he has possessed some Soul Fragments before, maybe he will remember some of his memories in this world, and his memories of – " he looked at Yi Bing. " – Liu Lingling?" he asked.

CRACK.

"Hii!" Di San gasped in fright when his table broke after Yi Bing's hand he used to lean on his table exerted more effort. "Gu Shi! Are you trying to help him or are you trying to help him… feel pissed?!" he asked, complaining.

"I am not!" Gu Shi answered.

"Good. Good!" Yi Bing smiled, but this made Gu Shi and Di San feel a chill on their spines. "I will remember this!" he said as he took the folder containing the information of Special World 600, including the case that Di San found in that world.

"HEY! I've got nothing to do with this!" Di San yelled but Yi Bing has already left.

Gu Shi looked at Di San with sympathy in his eyes. "Sorry." He apologized.

Di San can only cry. "… my table!" he cried.

"… and sorry with that, too." Gu Shi added as he looked at the table that was snapped into two.

Meanwhile, Yi Bing who almost committed murder inside the chief's and vice chief's office marched down the hallway. Every step he took and the places he passed were covered in ice, making the grim reapers who wanted to pass take a U-turn when they saw him and the ice-covered hallway.

Suddenly, Yi Bing stopped. The grim reapers who are secretly watching him were frightened and ran away while some who wanted to pass sighed in relief and immediately passed.

"Wait… yao world?" Yi Bing muttered and blinked as he looked at the folder with the words 'Special World 600' written at the front.

He opened the folder and read the file. The more he read, the more he freeze and the folder he is holding is also started to be covered in ice.

"Yao… world…" Yi Bing muttered as his hands shook. His eyes narrowed and his blue pupils glowed. "Hao. Bai. Yun! Gu. Xing. Feng!" he said through his gritted teeth.

What the hell! Why are these two… why are he and Huo Ling going to meet these two again?!

…

Mortal realm, S City, Supernatural Department.

"Achoo!" Hao Baiyun sneezed and immediately rubbed his itchy nose.

"Young master. Please drink this tea." Fei Xuli said as he handed Hao Baiyun a glass.

"Thank you." Hao Baiyun said as he took the glass and drank.

"Does young master feels bothered by his dreams again?" Fei Xuli worriedly asked.

"En." Hao Baiyun nodded. "I feel another me has encountered a problem again." He heaved a sigh.

"Please don't overwork yourself." Fei Xuli said.

"It is fine." Hao Baiyun smiled. "I can feel that he is also happy." He said.

"Really? That is good to hear, then." Fei Xuli sighed in relief.

"En. He…" Hao Baiyun hesitated. "He is living happily with Gu Xingfeng now…" he said.

Fei Xuli's eyes widened in shock.

"Yes… I got together with Gu Xingfeng in another world." Hao Baiyun wryly smiled.

Fei Xuli's expression looked complicated.

"And we also have a child." Hao Baiyun added.

Fei Xuli froze. … what the fck! Why should it be with Gu Xingfeng?! He thought as his face darkened. He doesn't like Gu Xingfeng for his master! His master should be with someone better than Gu Xingfeng!

Hao Baiyun deserves the best!

…

S City Police Station.

"Achoo!" Gu Xingfeng sneezed and wiped his nose with a tissue.

"Are you alright, chief?" Jiang Xinduo asked when he saw that Gu Xingfeng looked slightly pale.

"I am fine. How is the case that you are following?" Gu Xingfeng asked.

"Chief. The culprit still wasn't found." Jiang Xinduo frowned. "This case is truly bizarre… the crime scene is extremely bloody and anyone would definitely notice… the CCTVs in the area also recorded the screams of the victims, and the murder happened in a slightly populated area, too. However, no one has heard the victims' screams." He explained. "What is more bizarre is that…" he looked at Gu Xingfeng.

"En. After the footage of the video was analyzed, only the victims can be seen but the culprit can't be seen." Gu Xingfeng said.

"That's right." Jiang Xinduo shivered in horror as he played the video. "It can be seen that something is pinning down one of the victims, but…" his face paled when he paused the video. "The victim's skin can also be seen slowly shrinking, but… but…" he said as his hand shook.

"No one can be seen to be pinning the victim down." Gu Xingfeng's face darkened.

"Chief, this… do you think…" Jiang Xinduo looked at Gu Xingfeng.

Gu Xingfeng heaved a sigh. "We have to ask for the Supernatural Department's help.." He said.
