Compared to a natural death, it was true that being murdered was more likely to cause the appearance of wraiths.
However, compared to the wraiths in movies that could easily kill people, the wraiths in reality were actually quite weak. At most, they could make the murderer feel a chill run down his spine, but they had no way of dealing a fatal blow.
After all, a spirit was just some kind of residue produced after a person died. Naturally, it was impossible for it to be stronger than when it was alive. If you couldn't beat the murderer when you were alive, how could you beat the murderer when you were dead …
Moreover, just like a joke said, if a person killed by a ghost died and became a ghost, wouldn't it be very awkward to meet after death?
Wraiths that could interfere with reality and cause the death of others had already broken away from the category of normal wraiths. They were under the influence of something and had undergone changes. They could be classified as monsters.
It had to be said that the spirit ghosts under Old Xu's command were this type of existence.
However, the ghost loli was a special case.
Her essence was still that of a wraith, but because of some strange situation, nearly twenty wraiths had gathered together. Although it was still very difficult to interfere with reality, it could already affect the human mind.
"Do you want to find the murderer who murdered you to take revenge?"
With things as they were, Xu Shenxing naturally didn't plan on staying out of the matter, so he straightforwardly asked.
In any case, it was a scumbag who had killed so many people. In a situation where there was decisive evidence, if that person died in an 'accident', the people from the Super Administration probably wouldn't say anything.
"Speaking of which, you shouldn't be a local wraith, right?"
However, before the other party could answer, the earth god loli spoke first. "As far as I know, there hasn't been a serial murder case with as many as twenty people in Jiang Jin in the past ten years!"
"Speaking of which, it seems that the main culprit, the Blu-ray disc, really did come from somewhere else …"
Being rebuked like this, Xu Shenxing also remembered this matter.
"Southern Chu. Although my initial memories are a bit hazy, we came from Southern Chu. "
The ghost loli said in a small voice.
"Southern Chu … Then no wonder." The earth god of Jiang Jin suddenly nodded with a look of understanding. "Because of the layout of the geomancy in that city, it's very easy to form some areas of darkness. It's not incomprehensible for the ghosts there to mutate."
"Is that so? The last time I went there with Xiao Zhengyi, I didn't see anything special. "
Xu Shenxing scratched his head in puzzlement.
"Those ghosts probably got lucky and didn't run into you." The Earth God Loli yawned. "Also, Lord Ao Li has recently become the chief engineer and is commanding the subway construction team over there. He plans to improve the feng shui there."
Speaking of which, Brother Long did seem to have studied civil engineering in a human university. Could it be that you had long wanted to do this kind of thing?
Xu Shenxing thought.
However, when he thought about that person's tragic experience, he still felt that the other party probably didn't have such foresight and was just lucky …
"So you're still planning to go to Southern Chu to find the murderer? Do you want to obtain a body so you can interfere with reality? "
After figuring out the other party's background, Xu Shenxing asked the same question again.
"If it can really be done, it should be able to complete our obsessions and allow us all to go to the afterlife." The loli ghost lowered her head and said in an unusually sorrowful voice, "But unfortunately, this is impossible."
"…?"
Xu Shenxing and Song Yu both showed puzzled expressions. The Earth God Loli's little head nodded as if she had already begun to doze off.
"Because by the time we regain our self-awareness, the murderer will have already died of old age."
"That's possible?" Song Yu opened her eyes wide and said in surprise.
"… Dying of old age is still possible."
Even Xu Shenxing, who was always calm in the face of change, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth twice because of the other party's unexpected response.
"Actually, this isn't anything strange. Ghosts are the dregs of humans. They don't have organs such as brains and almost only have instincts. If they want to regain their self-awareness and the ability to think, they need a large amount of Yin energy and the accumulation of time. "
The Earth God Loli, who seemed to have already fallen asleep, suddenly opened her mouth and said, "For such a complicated existence like her, the process of regaining her rationality probably took more than ten years. If the culprit is already very old, then it's normal for her to die during this period of time. "
"Then how can the current you be reincarnated?" Xu Shenxing stared at the ghost loli, then raised his fist and said, "Don't tell me you still have to use Spiritual Expiation (Physical Expiation)?"
"Please don't …" The ghost loli immediately begged for mercy pitifully, "Actually, we still have some obsessions that we want to complete."
"What?" Xu Shenxing began to blow air on his fist.
"That … The twenty people's wishes are not the same, but basically, they all want to try hamburgers, play games, and so on."
The ghost loli weakly replied.
"Why is it this kind of wish?" Song Yu couldn't help but be curious.
"Because we were killed when we were very young. Many people have never eaten delicious food, never played with the toys they wanted to play with … We, we just want to do some things that we didn't have time to do when we were alive … "
The ghost loli's voice became softer and softer, and her attitude became more and more dejected. At the end, she cautiously raised her head slightly, looking at Xu Shenxing and the others through her bangs like a timid animal. Then she immediately lowered her eyes, and asked in a small voice, "Can't I?"
In the next moment, Song Yu hugged her. Because the action was too sudden, the loli ghost let out a mournful cry. "Ahhh ~ ~ ~"
"Careful, I've decided! I'll be the one to send this little guy to the afterlife! "Then she said to Xu Shenxing.
"Do you need my help?" Xu Shenxing shook his casserole sized fist, "Physical."
"I want to fulfill their wishes, and complete their obsessions!" The girl ignored Xu Shenxing's joke, and only said seriously. She stared into Xu Shenxing's eyes, pausing after each word, "You'll help me, right?"
"… Okay, okay, if you don't need me to pay for it."
In the end, Xu Shenxing could only admit defeat under her clear gaze, and let out a long sigh.
"Yeah!" The victorious Song Yu made a peace sign above the ghost loli's head, and revealed a beautiful smile like a rose.

Super Administrative Office.
"Justice, what are you looking at?"
Fang Xiaoqing, who had finished patrolling, returned to the office and found that Xiao Zhengyi, who had been sweeping the streets … I mean, dealing with supernatural traces, was already sitting in his seat, looking at something.
"It's nothing, just some newspaper clippings I made in the past."
Xiao Zhengyi closed the notebook with the yellowed newspaper clippings, and smiled at his partner.
"Hey, you've made newspaper clippings before?" Fang Xiaoqing, who was hanging her hat on the hat rack, couldn't help but be interested.
"Yeah, I made it a long time ago … Whenever I feel a bit bored or tired from work, I'll take it out and look at it. It reminds me not to forget my original intention of becoming a police officer."
Xiao Zhengyi replied.
"Original intention? Can you tell me about it? "Fang Xiaoqing, who was making tea, casually asked.
"That was about ten years ago, when I was still living in Southern Chu." Xiao Zhengyi hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "At that time, I had a younger sister who was six years younger than me."
"Her name was Xiao Ruoying."
