Chapter 70

"Understood!" Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "Will there be any problem if I kill other life-borrowers?"

Bai Wuchang frowned and said, "Although the status of life-borrowers is not high, they are related to the face of the ghost gods above. If you kill them openly, my colleagues in the underworld will lose face."

Bai Wuchang meant that killing them openly wouldn't work, but as long as things were done cleanly, no one would find fault with us.

Ye Yang nodded and disappeared into the night.

Bai Wuchang waited for him to walk away before muttering to himself, "Should the rules for life-borrowers be changed?"

Later, I learned that after Bai Wuchang's idea was passed back to the underworld, the Yin Division did change the rules for life-borrowers. However, the new rules not only did not bring any benefits to the life-borrowers, but instead led to endless killing intent, and also plunged me and Ye Yang into a difficult situation.

The reason why the underworld changed the rules this time was because Ye Yang killed the ghost official of the Zhangxing Division (Punishment Department), who was also the ancestor of the Zhang family.

At that time, Ye Yang didn't know that he had caused trouble, and was rushing to the Governor's Mansion.

Shi Yu probably took out the information I wanted around this time.

Shi Yu said, "We sacrificed several life-borrowers one after another, and spent a lot of money with the Zhang family, before we got the information. To enter the core secret room of the archives, you must have four people."

"These four people are hidden in the archives. You have to trust one person, kill one person, deceive one person, and find one person, to open the last room of this library. All the secrets are in that room."

I looked at the sketch that Shi Yu took out: "Who told you about these four people? Have you seen these four people?"

"I haven't!" Shi Yu said in a deep voice, "However, I believe the information our people exchanged with their lives."

I said in a deep voice, "Are the four people you mentioned people who came in from the outside, or people who existed in the archives themselves?"

The reason I asked this was because of our current number of people. If Zhang Qiang hadn't been tricked away by me, and Ye Yang came in from the outside again, wouldn't that be exactly five people?

One against four would be established!

"I don't know!" Shi Yu shook his head and said, "The person who got the information was the ancestor of the Zhang family. He only repeatedly assured that the information he got was absolutely true. As for who he got these things from, I don't know."

"In order to verify the authenticity of the information, I sent several capable subordinates in to verify. Some of them died here, and some desperately rushed out, bringing back the information to me. What they said was exactly the same as what the ancestor of the Zhang family said."

I pondered for a long time before saying, "Have you seen He Haoyu?"

"No!" Shi Yu shook his head and said, "He Haoyu is missing. Except for that most secret room, we haven't found any clues about He Haoyu. I suspect that He Haoyu is the real owner of this Governor's Mansion. Look here... and here and here."

"The rooms where my people last appeared are these places. I suspect that the person who gave them the information is hiding in one of these rooms. We have to try them one by one."

I said in a deep voice, "The four rooms you mentioned are exactly on the four corners of the southeast, northwest, do you know how to get there?"

Shi Yu lowered his voice and said, "You need a woman to lead the way, and that woman must be dead."

While Shi Yu was speaking, he looked at Lin Sihan, who took two steps back in fright: "Don't talk nonsense! Why do you say that a woman must lead the way?"

When I broke Shi Yu's palm, he said: Don't go save her, follow her.

At that time, he planned to kill Lin Sihan?

I nudged the cigarette butt on the ground with my foot: "You deliberately gave me Old Knife, and left the Fairy in the trash can. Implying that Old Knife killing the Fairy is also to kill Lin Sihan and let her lead the way."

"That's right!" Shi Yu said bluntly, "We have verified that a woman disappears in this area every year. Her body will definitely appear in the bushes near the archives. There are no wounds on her body, it looks like an accidental death."

"The people nearby dare not come here, that's why. They think that the death of those women is because they lost their souls. In fact, their guesses are right, those women were all drawn out of their souls. The killer is this library."

Shi Yu pointed at Lin Sihan: "Let's think about it from another perspective, killing one person and trusting one person mentioned in the information. Isn't it right in front of us?"

I was slightly startled: "Then who are you talking about deceiving?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Haven't you already tricked Zhang Qiang away? If you kill Lin Sihan, and then her ghost leads the way, isn't that exactly finding one person? I guess the person we are looking for should be He Haoyu."

"Only when we find He Haoyu can we have a chance to use our abilities, and all the problems can be solved. Will you kill this person or not?"

Shi Yu's voice carried a certain seductive power: "You may not be able to accept killing innocent people indiscriminately, but if you think about it carefully, why do we borrow life? It's for survival."
