After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

The ghost was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "My lord, my lord, please listen to me. I really didn't mean to scare you. If I really had no choice, how could I risk my soul to death to come to see you?"

The ghost's howl was really unpleasant, like a sharp object scratching on glass, very piercing.

I cleaned my ears. My mother taught me that ghosts are all lies and I should never believe them. So I was about to activate the black bead to capture it, when I suddenly found that this ghost was a complete ghost, with a head, hands and feet, and the lower body was no longer a ball of black mist.

I was stunned. Did the black bead grow up and my abilities also grow? But apart from being able to see a complete ghost, I haven't discovered any special abilities.

When I was in a daze, the ghost thought I was listening to him carefully, so he stopped howling and said pitifully: "Sir, my last name is Su Bowen. I came from Zibo City to Wangjing City to do business. Who would have thought that I would be robbed and murdered by thieves on the way. After killing me, the thieves took away my property and threw my body into the wilderness. My body was eaten up by wild wolves, leaving only a skeleton in the deep mountains and old forests. I miss my parents, wife and children at home, and I can't rest in peace until I die, so I linger in the world and don't want to reincarnate. Recently, I found that my parents came to the capital to look for me. It's pitiful that my parents have to send their children away, and they have to go through untold hardships and travel thousands of miles from Zibo City to Wangjing City to look for me. I am really uneasy, but I am dead, and there is no way to persuade my parents to go home, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor and take my parents to find my bones and bring them back to Zibo City to bury them. Then I can go to the underworld to reincarnate."

Why does this sound so much like a story from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?

I couldn't help but stroke my chin and secretly analyze how much of what this guy said was false and how much was true.

Su Bowen finished speaking, and seeing that I was still staring at him blankly, he thought that he had not explained it clearly enough, so he repeated it again. When he had repeated it three times, and I was still indifferent and looked at him in a mysterious way, Su Bowen finally couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Sir, are you listening to what I am saying?"

This roar finally brought me back to reality from my trance.

I said with a look of understanding, "You want me to help you find your body and give it to your parents to take back to your hometown for burial, right?"

Su Bowen didn't expect that I really listened to him. He nodded quickly and looked at me expectantly.

"It's not impossible." I said slowly.

Su Bowen was delighted, and I continued, "It's just that I have to go to the palace tomorrow, so I don't have time."

Su Bowen's face immediately drooped, his shoulders twitched constantly, and it looked like he was about to start howling again. His howling was a bit too much for my ears, so I quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll help you find it when I'm free."

Su Bowen quickly looked up at me and said happily: "As long as you help me find the body, I am willing to work like a slave for you. I will repay you in the next life if I cannot repay you in this life."

What can a ghost repay me? I can capture him just by raising my hand!

I was just about to give him a perfunctory reply and send him away, when Su Bowen suddenly said mysteriously, "Of course, a villain can also do things for adults that humans cannot do!"

Something that humans can’t do?

My heart skipped a beat, and I asked calmly, "For example?"

Seeing that I was interested, Su Bowen quickly stood up. It would be more appropriate to say that he was floating rather than standing.

Su Bowen floated in front of me and said slyly, "For example, I can go and scare someone, and I guarantee that person will be scared to death and piss themselves off."

I sighed and said, "You look so polite, but your words are so vulgar."

This is the sentence Gongsun Wen often used to scold me, and now I can use it to scold others easily.

Su Bowen was unhappy with what I said and said, "As long as I turn into a ghost, anyone who sees me will go crazy!"

Su Bowen looked at me unkindly and said quickly, "Haha, of course, except for you, sir."

As expected of a businessman, this guy knows how to handle things.

I was very satisfied with his performance, so I said, "Change yourself into a ghost and show it to me."

When Su Bowen heard this, he realized that this was what he was best at and since it was a rare opportunity to show his abilities, he had to try his best.

I saw Su Bowen turning in a circle on the spot, and a large cloud of black mist rose. After a while, a tall evil ghost with a green face, fangs and a long tongue appeared in front of me!

His transformation really scared me and I almost fell onto the bed.

Fortunately, I have seen several ghosts uglier than Su Bowen, so I have some psychological tolerance. Otherwise, I would be really embarrassed.

Seeing me looking at him "calmly", Su Bowen turned around and changed back to his original form, praising me: "Your Excellency is really amazing. Others would have gone crazy if they saw me like this."

I clasped my hands tightly under my sleeves so that he wouldn't notice that I was shaking.

I coughed lightly and said, "So ghosts look like this just to scare people?"

Su Bowen shook his head and said, "Of course. Otherwise, which ghost would transform for fun when they have nothing to do? This would consume a lot of ghost energy."

An idea suddenly occurred to me.

Didn't Gui Lanting want me dead? Zheng Xian didn't dare to do anything to her because of Zhao Zhenyuan's presence. Haha, I can't kill her, but scaring her to death is fine.

So I said to Su Bowen, "I have a great enemy. If you are willing to help me scare her, I will promise to take your parents to find your body."

Su Bowen shook his long flowing hair and said, "That's easy. I don't have other people's abilities, but I'm good at scaring people."

I smiled coldly and said, "Boasting is useless. You have to show me your true ability. It's late at night. You should leave quickly and don't scare my sister."

Su Bowen turned around and said, "My parents live in Room 5 of the Dongsheng Inn. Can you go and see them tomorrow on my behalf?"

I will go to the palace tomorrow just to get some medicinal herbs from the Imperial Physician's Office. It doesn't matter whether it's early or late. Su Bowen's parents have come all the way to find him, and they don't know that their son is no longer alive. It's a sad story to think about it. Even if Su Bo doesn't agree to help me scare Gui Lanting, I should go to see his parents on his behalf.

So I nodded and said, "Okay."

After hearing this, Su Bowen was so excited that he almost cried. Unfortunately, ghosts don't have tears, so he could only howl.

Su Bowen rubbed his eyes and said, "Sir, you are such a kind person. You are the only one who is willing to help me so far. My parents have been in the capital for some time. I have been looking for people to help me everywhere, but the people I found were either scared to death or crazy. I dare not show up casually."

I said angrily, "Who wouldn't be scared to death seeing you in the middle of the night? Hurry up and leave. When my sister wakes up, she will also be scared to death by you."

Su Bowen nodded and said, "It's almost dawn, I should go now. By the way, sir, which family are you asking me to scare?"
