Chapter 1 of Volume 1: Qian Xiaoye in the Morgue

  Jiang Qicai walked out of the principal's office and just as he stepped out of the gate, he saw the fat guy from before leaning against a big tree by the side of the road, smoking a cigarette and waiting for him.

  Jiang Qicai walked a straight line without hesitation, and went straight to the fat man's face. However, Jiang Qicai couldn't have imagined that before he even opened his mouth, the fat man suddenly took a few steps forward with great enthusiasm, looking like he wanted to pat him on the shoulder.

  However, Jiang Qicai easily dodged it with a slight slide step.

  Pangzi's expression was a bit awkward, but soon he put on a smiling face again, rubbing his hands non-stop and said: "Brother, where did you mix... oh no, where are you from? This city?"

  Jiang Qicai had already made up his mind that if this fat guy really didn't know what was good for him and suddenly attacked, he would definitely make him suffer a bit more. But this fat guy was now smiling so brightly, Jiang Qicai couldn't bring himself to teach him a lesson.

  They say you don't hit a smiling face, but Jiang Qicai actually wanted to see what kind of tricks he had up his sleeve. So he said calmly: "I don't have any backing, nor am I from the underworld. If you want to make a move on me, now is the best opportunity!"

  That fatty coughed and hastily waved his hand, saying "No, brother, you've misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way..."

  "Oh?"

  Fatso hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's like this, I'm the young master of the 'Seven Star Gang' in this city. My position is neither high nor low, and I have about ten or so thugs under me..."

  Jiang Qicai somewhat impatiently interrupted him, "What's the matter? Just say it straightforwardly!"

  "Haha, brother is really straightforward! I won't beat around the bush either. So, based on your wisdom just now, I'd like to ask: can you come work with us as a military advisor? Or we could say, help us strategize when we're competing for territory? But... actually, what's most important right now is that I hope you can do a small favor for our 'Seven Star Gang'!"

  "What's in it for me?" Jiang Qicai asked calmly.

  "A month for 5,000 yuan, how about it?" The fatty sincerely stretched out five fingers.

  "If you're so rich, why bother coming here to be a 3,000-yuan security guard? Isn't that contradictory?"

  "There's actually a secret here!" said the fatty, "I didn't become a security guard for the money, I just...". At this point, the fatty's eyes rolled around and he continued: "Anyway, it's not for the money! What do you think? Do you want to consider what we just talked about?"

  "Is that all?" Jiang Qi looked at him for the last time, turned around and walked away, "Sorry, I'm not interested! You'd better find someone else!"

  "Hey...... actually, I'm not asking you to quit as a security guard here, on the contrary, I want you to use your identity as a security guard to help me......" The fat man shouted at Jiang Qicai's back, panting, but Jiang Qicai had already gone far away.

  ……

  Returning from "Private Hua Lian University", Jiang Qicai was generally quite satisfied. Not only were the campus facilities good, but there were also many beautiful girls. Living in such an environment every day, Jiang Qicai felt it was very pleasing to the eye. The only regret was that he might not be able to go ghost-hunting at night for a while, but he could still train his spiritual power during the day. It would be a good opportunity to increase his chances of catching ghosts in the future.

  He simply ate a bowl of instant noodles, and in the afternoon, Jiang Qi had nothing to do, so he decided to go to the morgue of the largest hospital in the city. On the one hand, it could increase his spiritual energy, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if anything interesting would happen.

  Forty minutes later, Jiang Qizai arrived at the hospital entrance with ease. Because Jiang Qizai helped the hospital director solve a big problem a few years ago, the director was very grateful to him. Not only could Jiang Qizai receive free medical treatment here, but more importantly, he could enter and exit the delivery room freely!

  But just as Jiang Qicai was humming a tune he didn't know the name of, and was about to enter the morgue, a somewhat familiar figure on the corridor suddenly caught his attention.

  From behind, she was a woman with long black hair.

  Moreover, she has a slender and even figure. She is wearing a casual pink suspender skirt with lace trim. However, when walking, she always lowers her head, obviously not wanting to attract attention.

  Not long after, Jiang Qi discovered that the woman's destination seemed to be in the direction of Taiping Lane as well. He carefully and quietly followed her from a distance, wanting to see what she was up to.

  It was just after lunchtime, so the patients and medical staff were all resting. As a result, there were very few people in the corridors. Moreover, the closer one got to the morgue, the more quiet and still it became, with only the sound of footsteps scraping against the floor and the rhythmic beating of hearts blending together to form a unique melody.

  It wasn't until they had been walking for a while that Jiang Qi realized he didn't need to lower his footsteps. The woman in front of him was clearly lost in thought, oblivious to everything around her. What's more, the closer they got to the direction of the Taiping District, the more the woman's shoulders shook, and Jiang Qi judged that she wasn't feeling afraid, but rather excited.

  But ——

  Why is she so agitated? In a mortuary, apart from corpses, there's nothing else.

  Was she a vampire possessed by a wandering soul? Or was there something in the morgue that made her excited?

  Jiang Qicai didn't find anything unusual on the wheel of reincarnation. It was clear that she was just an ordinary human being.

  It wasn't until the woman walked through the mortuary door that Jiang Qi finally realized that this person was also someone he had seen before, and it turned out to be Qian Xiaoye, who he had met on the bus that day and whose behavior was extremely irrational!

  Jiang Qicai's curiosity grew stronger, because it was class time now, and this Xiao Ye had skipped school on purpose to come to the Taiping Inn? If word of this got out, who would believe it?

  But it happened right under Jiang Qi's eyelids.

  Jiang Qicai waited outside the door for a full five minutes, then he gently pressed his ear against the door of the ward and listened intently to the movements inside.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  "Before long, Jiang Qi heard a sobbing voice that seemed to be saying something: 'Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. Those people will also suffer the heavenly punishment they deserve!'"

  Then Jiang Qicai couldn't hear clearly anymore.

  Just as Jiang Qi was about to use the Ling Gathering function on the Wheel of Reincarnation to gather all the spiritual energy into his ears, in order to enhance his hearing.

  All of a sudden——

  A hand suddenly appeared in mid-air and landed on Jiang Qicai's shoulder.
