Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 464: The ghosts’ help

" Are we going to stand here this all night?" Yu Lingyun turned to look at his friend and senior. Though he had no qualms standing in the night, there had to be a reason! One that would justify why he needed to disrupt his beauty sleep. But at this moment, there was no justification just an order which said that he needed to stand close to the prison.

Zhai Heng sighed and turned to look at Yu Lingyun. He could see the impatience running underneath the calm exterior of Yu Lingyun and he wasn't even surprised by it because Yu Lingyun was indeed someone who did not like to wait, he was the type of man who would smack someone to death first before waking him back from the dead and asking him why he committed a crime.

" I was not going to tell you this because I was afraid that you will get scared but since you want to know the truth so desperately, then I will fulfil your wishes," Zhai Heng's words still held a warning which allowed Yu Lingyun to take back the complaints which he had made just now but it was unfortunate since Yu Lingyun did not understand what Zhai Heng was trying to tell him.

The young general turned around to look at his friend and arched a brow, " What truth?"

Zhai Heng turned to look at Yu Lingyun, while desperately trying to suppress the smirk which was almost on the way to his lips as he replied, " His majesty asked the ghosts who follow her majesty to help us."

In fact, they could have made the guard arranged by Ji Yang to pass out as well but Zhai Tianyu was worried that Ji Yang will get suspicious.

Currently, their secret army was recruiting more soldiers who had become long dissatisfied with the Ji family, if Ji Yang was to get suspicious then it will be really troublesome and in case he ended up recruiting more soldiers to his own army before they could take care of it, then it will do more harm then good.

It was better to do it cleanly such that Ji Yang will not be able to trace it back to them.

But that did not matter to Yu Lingyun, the only thing that mattered to him was that —— ghosts were coming!

" WHAT?! Why did you not tell me this?" Yu Lingyun questioned angrily. " If I had known I wouldn't have come."

Yu Lingyun had no qualms in fighting

living but he was scared of the dead, what if they were to harm him in a manner he did not expect? And since he could not knock them out, how will he survive?

As a man with great strength, Yu Lingyun only relied on his strength and if there were things which he could not take down with his strength, those things scared him.

Zhai Heng was surprised by his reaction in fact this was why neither he nor Zhai Tianyu told Yu Lingyun why they had to stand next to the prison silently but the latter was too chatty and he couldn't listen to his complaints anymore.

More importantly, Yu Lingyun was really annoying when he became chatty.

This was the main reason why Zhai Heng told him the truth, at least now Yu Lingyun will be too scared to say anything.

" This is why we did not tell you because his majesty and I knew that you will get scared," Zhai Heng turned to look at Yu Lingyun and remarked calmly which only made the latter glare at him.

" You traitors——-" Yu Lingyun was still speaking when someone suddenly blew a cold breath against his cheek causing him to shudder as he clamped a hand on his face and turned around to see who it was but unfortunately for him, he did not see anything or anyone.

Instantly all the colour from his face drained down.

" Don't scare him too much," Li Gang told Jia Li who seemed to be enjoying teasing Yu Lingyun.

Jia Li arched a brow and smirked before saying, "What do you know, it is not every day that we get a chance to scare someone."

As they were Liu Hui Ying's contracted ghost workers, they were not allowed to scare, kill or haunt any human. The second they signed a contract with Liu Hui Ying, they were supposed to follow her orders without any mistake which was why it was indeed not possible for them to scare a human as it will bring trouble to Liu Hui Ying.

The last time they scared a human as a prank, the grim reaper came knocking on the door to scold Liu Hui Ying and once Liu Hui Ying got scolded, a punishment was inevitable.

" Now that you have said that … I think I will try too," Li Gang's eyes glinted as he walked over to Yu Lingyun who was looking around in confusion as if to ascertain that he was indeed touched by a ghost just now and thus, Li Gang stretched out his hand and then with the help of his forefinger traced Yu Lingyun back.

Don't ask him why he acted like this—— it was because he was a ghost and scaring humans was his instinct. Just because he signed a contract it does not mean that he no longer wished to act like a real ghost anymore.

Yu Lingyun was only confused when someone blew air against his cheek but this time the touch of someone's cold finger tracing his spine was too evident to ignore. His expression twisted as he opened his mouth to scream but just as he was going to scream he remembered that he was on duty which was why he clamped his hands on his mouth and without letting Zhai Heng stop him, turned around and ran.

At first, Zhai Heng did not understand what was going on but then he heard Yu Lingyun's wretched scream from far afar and instantly understood that the ghosts were finally here. Because nothing other than them could make Yu Lingyun scream like that —— after all, he was the type of man who roasted the snake which was sent to assassinate him and ate it in a gulp.
