Chapter 895: A Million Times for You (257)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Noticing that the elderly lady was picking up the instant noodles on the ground and placing them inside her box while grousing about how useless she was, An Xiaoning took out a few dollar bills and stuffed them into the elderly lady’s hand. She then swiftly turned around to leave before the elderly lady got to see her face.

That woman proceeded to commit even more atrocious acts brazenly.

Whenever she saw the visitors making a call on their phones, she would use the same method to make them drop their mobile phones onto the ground.

Whenever she saw nurses carrying stretchers, she would stick her leg out to trip them.

She then entered the elevator and played a prank on a young man and a middle-aged woman by causing them to hug each other tightly, refusing to let them move away no matter how hard they tried.

An Xiaoning really wanted to stop her with an amulet.

However, she had no choice but to bear with it, because she knew what the woman wanted to do ultimately.

The elevator arrived on the floor where the morgue was in. Upon the sight of them exiting, An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan followed suit.

The woman seemed to have sensed something unusual and turned around to take a few more glances at An Xiaoning.

An Xiaoning did not make eye contact and kept a straight face, as if she had not seen her at all. Realizing that the woman was remaining still, An Xiaoning walked toward her straight away.

Just as they were about to knock into each other, the woman pulled the young man away and strode forward quickly.

They headed straight to the morgue.

An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan slowed down their pace.

They stood still by the door.

It was completely silent, and there were no doctors or staff in sight at all at the moment.

“Why aren’t you running anymore?” the woman finally said. An Xiaoning got the chills the moment she heard the woman’s voice.

She sounded rather eerie, and her tone was so hostile and annoying that it warranted a beating.

“Why did you kill me? I have no feud with you at all. I only broke my leg and that wasn’t fatal at all. Why did you have to kill me!?!” the man screeched in immense agony.

“Your leg is already broken, you’ll be having a hard time even if you’re still alive. Isn’t it great that I released you from your suffering?”

“You... I didn’t want to die!”

“You’re already dead anyway, what are you still making so much noise for?”

“Yeah, I’m already dead... I was waiting for the reapers to take me away. You’re not one of them, so what did you catch me for?”

“To nurture you into my subordinate. Do you feel indignant after being killed by me for no reason? Do you want to take revenge on others?”

“I don’t want to.”

The woman gave him a tight slap and hollered, “You don’t? How dare you say that you don’t. I’m going to destroy your soul right now! I’m going to make you disappear from this world completely!”

Realizing that she really had to intervene, An Xiaoning held onto Jin Qingyan’s hand and entered the morgue. “If it isn’t in this room, it must be in the other. If not, should we ask the hospital staff about where the corpse is?”

Jin Qingyan played along and said, “Didn’t you see how overcrowded the hospital is? They’re short-handed, and no one is on duty here in the morgue. All of them are so busy and tired. Why don’t we just check every room, one by one?”

“This place feels really eerie to me...” said An Xiaoning, walking toward the woman slowly.

“Duh, this is the morgue, of course it’s going to be spooky. Hurry and check, we’ll leave quickly after you see it.”

“Alright...”

As soon as she finished speaking, the amulet in her hands darted toward the woman like a bolt of lighting, completely catching the latter off guard. The woman could not even attempt to run away because she was held in her place by the amulet.

The man was incredibly frightened and was at a sudden loss for what to do. Just as he was about to take flight, An Xiaoning yelled, “I won’t harm you.”

He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her.

An Xiaoning continued, “I came here to help perform rituals for spirits like you. You don’t have to be afraid.”

“You can actually see me...”

An Xiaoning removed her surgical mask and said, “I can communicate with spirits.”

“You’re An Xiaoning...”

“That’s right.” Pointing at the woman, who was remaining as still as a statue, An Xiaoning asked, “Was she the one who killed you?”

A look of vengeance formed in the man’s eyes at the thought of his unjust death, and he said, “She was the one. I saw her standing beside my bed and removing my breathing tube. I already pulled through the critical stage and had just come to at the time...”

“Once you’re dead, you can’t be brought back to life. Do you still have any last wishes? I can help you as long as it’s within my means. However, after you’ve fulfilled your wishes, you must report back to the netherworld. The longer you loiter around here, the more disadvantageous it would be for you when it comes to reincarnating. Everything about you is recorded in the book of death. Don’t think you can hide from the reapers forever just because they’re not here yet to catch you.”

“I’d like to see if my parents are already dead. I want to find out.”

“I’ll help you, come with me,” said An Xiaoning, walking toward the exit.

The man nodded and followed her quietly. He could not help but look at the woman who had followed them. “If the amulet falls off, she...” he asked.

“It won’t fall off.”

“What are you going to do with her?”

“I’ll be sending her to the reapers. When she arrives in the netherworld, she’ll suffer a severe punishment for the evil deeds she has done as a ghost.”

“How about me...”

“I’ll perform a ritual for you and send you straight to report to the netherworld.”

The man felt a huge sense of relief.

An Xiaoning checked the death records in the database, only to discover that his parents had passed away too.

Although the man was devastated, he said to An Xiaoning, “Good that they are, at least they won’t be suffering in misery and mourning my death for the rest of my life, since I’m the only child in my family.”

An Xiaoning said, “Death is only an inevitable part of life.”

While performing the ritual for him, An Xiaoning thought to herself that she did not make a wasted trip this time since she could help a spirit leave this world in peace.

The young man’s figure slowly began to fade and gradually vanished before her eyes. She then turned around to look at the woman beside her.

The look of fear and shock on her face was drastically different from her arrogance previously.

“Let’s go to the room where the corpses are kept. We’ll just hand her over to the reapers when they’re here.”

“Bring her inside first, I’ll go get you something to eat,” said Jin Qingyan.

“Sure.”

An Xiaoning stared at his back view with a smile.

After filming for several hours in the day, Fang Erlan still had to film a few more scenes in the evening, which would require her to be tied and suspended in the air by wires. Fang Erlan meticulously made the necessary preparations, not daring to make any blunders when it came to work.

She was afraid of making Jing Tian angry.

The scenes to be filmed in the evening involved the supporting actor and actress. Yan Ge had already gone back to the hotel to get some rest after a long day of filming.

The thunder was rumbling loudly outside while filming took place unhurriedly in the studio.

Jing Tian had put in a great ton of effort and time into filming the television series. Ever since the cameras started rolling and filming commenced officially, he had never once had a good night’s sleep.

Yet, even then, he would never berate anyone or throw a tantrum unreasonably while on set.

His attentiveness and strong sense of responsibility was what made Fang Erlan want to ensure that she’d make no mistakes herself.

They filmed several scenes consecutively and only called it a day at three in the morning.

After filming ended for the night, Jing Tian said to her, “You shall rest in the day tomorrow. Filming will resume tomorrow night, all the way until the following morning. All of these scenes will then have to undergo post-production.”
