The headless body moved towards them slowly. The man with the gold chain quickly lowered his head and quickly retrieved Chen Ping’s contract from the pile.
With a trembling voice, the man with the gold chain raised the contract with both hands and shook it toward the headless body on the opposite side. Then he realized that the head was on the ground and hurriedly aimed the contract at it. “Look, look! This is your contract. I’m tearing it up now! We’re clearing our debts!”
As he said this, the man with the gold chain man forcefully tore up the contract, and a shower of shredded paper fell from the sky.
“See, it’s gone. This is the original, no copies. I’ve torn them all up. You don’t owe us money anymore, so you don’t need to pay us back. You can keep the money for yourself.” the man with the gold chain carefully pushed the bag containing the ghost money toward the direction of “Chen Ping.”
However, the movement of the torso did not slow down.
the man with the gold chain gritted his teeth, tore up the other contracts with force, and continued to plead, “These, we don’t want these either!”
“I swear, I swear that from now on, I’ll be a good person, a contributor to society. I’ll never do bad things again, never bully the weak again.” the man with the gold chain picked up a contract from the ground and started tearing it. As he tore, he continued to kowtow and beg for forgiveness.
Seeing this, the other people around quickly picked up contracts from the ground and tore them.
With red eyes, they tore up the contracts as if it was the only lifeline that could save them.
When all the contracts were torn, the man with the gold chain looked at the torso approaching them in despair. He desperately picked up a USB drive, banged his forehead heavily on the ground, and in a moment, his forehead turned blood-red. “I was wrong, we’re not good people, we’re not decent. We shouldn’t have drugged you in the first place, we shouldn’t have taken those photos of you. Your photos are in here, I can format them now.”
the man with the gold chain raised the USB drive with one hand, and with the other, he slapped his own face desperately. “We’re just a bunch of bastards. We deserve to die. I beg you, spare me. I have elderly parents and young children at home. My family relies on me. I can’t die. Look, for the sake of your parents, spare me.”
Finally, the torso stood in front of the group. The man with the gold chain looked up in fear, and at that moment, a spray of bright red blood from the mangled body splattered across his face.
He endured the dizziness and the impulse to scream and escape, his fingers tightly gripping his palm as he struggled to remain composed.
The torso stepped on a laptop, and a voice came from a distance, “From today on, if I find out that you’re engaging in the loan shark business again, I’ll come to your homes and kill your children, wives, and parents, and then kill you!”
“Scram! Get out of here! Don’t let me see you again!”
One of them had been leaning weakly against the invisible wall. The moment the ghostly figure finished speaking, the support behind him vanished instantly, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Immediately after, he excitedly got up from the ground, running outside like a lunatic, alternating between screams and laughter. “Hahaha, I’m free. I survived, I survived! Hahaha, I’m alive!”
Seeing this, the others paid no heed to the things that had poured on the ground. They all hurriedly got up from the ground one by one and fled at the speed of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, all of them had vanished from the small grove.
After everyone had left, the torso turned and walked up to its own head. Picking up the head, the person wiped their face and transformed into a different appearance.
The blood-soaked white T-shirt was gone, replaced by a neatly tailored black suit.
the man stared at the direction in which those people had fled, a cunning gleam in his eyes. Then, he respectfully turned to a certain direction in the grove and said, “King Yama, Queen Mother, and… uh, the other distinguished guest, the group of people has run far away.”
From the depths of the pitch-black forest came a rustling sound.
Soon, three figures emerged from the depths of the forest.
Black Wuchang excitedly pointed to his face. “How was my acting just now? Wasn’t it impressive?”
Young Yama had a serious and earnest expression. “It was very professional, Black Wuchang. You truly are a key figure in the underworld. It truly cannot do without you; you’re absolutely crucial to the underworld.”
Black Wuchang’s excited face instantly flashed with shyness, “It’s my duty, King Yama.”
Young King Yama slapped Black Wuchang’s shoulder heavily, “No, you are the most outstanding employee in the underworld. Even White Wuchang is beneath you. I’ve always had high hopes for you. I hope you’ll keep up the good work.”
A blazing fighting spirit ignited in Black Wuchang’s eyes, “I will certainly work harder and won’t let you down!”
Young King Yama cleared his throat, “I remember you have to pick up a deceased person at nine o’clock?”
Black Wuchang immediately straightened his shoulders, “That’s right, I’m heading to work now!”
Young King Yama: “Take a rest if you’re tired. We still have White Wuchang.”
At the mention of “White Wuchang,” a competitive spirit instantly flared up on Black Wuchang’s face. “No, I don’t feel tired at all. I don’t need to rest at all! I’m going to work now, I promise to complete the task!”
After saying this, Black Wuchang disappeared in an instant.
Bai Lixin stared blankly in the direction where Black Wuchang had left, then silently gave a thumbs up to Young King Yama.
‘Impressive, isn’t this the underworld’s most powerful capitalist?’
This rhetoric, this big talk… Black Wuchang, you should wise up a bit, shouldn’t you?
Does it come with benefits like social security and paid holidays?’

Bai Lixin walked up to the pile of things left by the group of people and packed all the laptops and other devices into his bag.
In his mind, the system’s alarm had been ringing for a long time.
Escape System: [Ding! Warning, warning. Player Bai Lixin is late for this professional/career task. Please hurry to the task location. If you give up tonight’s task, you will be classified as a “person lacking professional ethics” due to passive work avoidance, which will likely deal a fatal blow to your professional ability rating.]
Escape System: [Your current lateness has caused you to be demoted from “Diamond Sleep Tester” to “Gold Sleep Tester.” Please cherish your hard-earned achievements.]
Bai Lixin rubbed his temples, [Alright, I’ll head there now. Send me the map, stop talking, you’re giving me a headache.]
The alarm in his mind abruptly stopped, and an almost transparent map appeared in Bai Lixin’s mind.
Around seven o’clock tonight, the system had assigned him a new task.
His lateness wasn’t impulsiveness; it was determined after careful inquiry that “lateness” would merely offset a portion of his previous achievements, and it wouldn’t affect his professional stability.
One was a setback in ranking, the other was potential clues—after weighing the importance, he knew what to do.
After putting everything into his messenger bag, Bai Lixin, along with his two “followers”, headed towards their destination.
Young King Yama walked on Bai Lixin’s left side, “Xin Xin, don’t worry. That group of people won’t engage in such activities anymore after today’s incident.”
Shen Mo walked to Bai Lixin’s right side, “When you see one termite in a room, it means the room has long been filled with thousands of termites. As long as there’s profit, people will continue to replace them after they disappear.”
Bai Lixin said, “This is the myriad of human behaviors. A certain sage from long ago once said, ‘At the beginning, human nature is inherently good,’ but there are also sages who say, ‘At the beginning, human nature is inherently evil.’ Personally, I lean more toward the latter perspective of ‘At the beginning, human nature is inherently evil.’”
“At the moment of birth, ignorance makes us act instinctively like beasts.”
“Later, rules and moral education tamed savagery, transforming them into individuals who follow hierarchical rituals.”
“Children, driven by curiosity, pluck the bodies of insects one by one. Similarly, the animal kingdom has the habit of killing prey. For example, cats often play with and release mice before catching them, and hyenas start eating from the prey’s reproductive organs. But the term ‘killing’ is a construct of our cognition; in the animals’ perception, they don’t know it as ‘killing,’ to them, it’s instinct.”
“When children are still children, their understanding is shallow. During that time, with proper guidance, their values can be corrected. But these social misfits, most of them haven’t received orthodox ethical and moral guidance.”
“They run rampant with their barbaric behavior in the civilized world, and naturally, they prevail. Fortunately, we still have protective barriers that let us rest easy.”
The two still didn’t quite grasp Bai Lixin’s meaning until they heard the loud sirens outside.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Gold Sea Luxury Apartments, they happened to see the group of people from earlier tearfully thanking the police for their arrival.
“The police, it’s the police, great, we’re saved.”
“I’m turning myself in, I’m turning myself in.”
“Police uncle, wuuuu.”
The police officers glanced at each other in confusion.
“Could these people have taken too many drugs? Why are they acting crazy? It’s the first time I’ve seen suspects thank the police after being arrested.”
“Go back and do a urine test on them. Their expressions are so exaggerated, they might be heavily drugged. Confirm the headcount, and round them up!”
The police officers were incredibly efficient; in the blink of an eye, they handcuffed the group and packed them into the police car.
The police car departed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Watching the police car leave, Shen Mo gave Bai Lixin a deep look, “You made the call?”
Bai Lixin replied, “Of course. You didn’t really think that I was going to end at scaring them, right? Everyone is an adult; if they’ve done something wrong, they should face the consequences.”

[ Well done, God Xin.]
[After using fire to defeat fire, now we’re seeing someone using legal tools to exercise legitimate rights.]
[ God Xin looks so handsome when he talks about the law.]
[I never thought that I would witness a player using a police call to resolve a situation in a horror game copy.]
[Hahaha, when in trouble, find the police. This saying applies not only in reality but also in the game. It’s really deeply ingrained.]
[This god-like display has left me totally shocked.]
——————————–
At around nine o’clock at night, Bai Lixin arrived at the task location with his two tagalongs.
Tonight’s task was at a haunted house in a residential area. It was said that a murder had occurred in this room a year ago, and since then, no one dared to stay there.
Because no one had stayed there for a year, the house was filled with a damp, moldy smell.
When Bai Lixin turned on the light, Shen Mo had already opened the window for ventilation.
A gentle breeze blew in from outside, immediately freshening the air.
In the quiet of the night, it could either be a scary night or a romantic night.
Unfortunately, there was an extra “lightbulb” present.
Shen Mo gazed coldly at Young Yama who had been sticking to Bai Lixin, and almost hissed.
Not all houses of the deceased are haunted; in fact, most houses are influenced by human fear psychology, and this house falls into that category.
After confirming the safety of the house, Bai Lixin sat down at the desk, took out a laptop from his bag, and opened it.
A soft blue light instantly illuminated the screen.
The headless body moved towards them slowly. The man with the gold chain quickly lowered his head and quickly retrieved Chen Ping’s contract from the pile.
With a trembling voice, the man with the gold chain raised the contract with both hands and shook it toward the headless body on the opposite side.
