"Alright, Ah Yi, don't overthink it. First, take me to find the ghosts."
Logically speaking, Ah Yi in the movie was not a chatterbox at all. Perhaps because she had been treated as a freak for so many years, and now that someone could deal with ghosts and make her Yin-Yang Eyes no longer so terrifying, all the words she had kept bottled up for so many years wanted to come out.
However, for Bai Ye, dealing with the remaining eight ghosts was the most important thing at the moment.
Bai Ye had seen those three ghosts. Although Bai Ye hadn't seen Ba Jie, he probably knew what she looked like. However, besides relying on methods like a compass, ghosts are actually very easy to distinguish when they are close to a Daoist.
"Boss, please follow me."
In the women's restroom on the sixteenth floor, there were three ghosts who had always wanted to find scapegoats.
Ah Yi led Bai Ye to the entrance of the women's restroom, and she hesitated whether to take Bai Ye inside with her.
"Bai Ye?"
Pat was about to go to the restroom when she saw Bai Ye and the white-haired woman at the entrance of the women's restroom.
It seemed like there were only these two, and the red-dressed woman seemed to be gone.
"Pat, are you going to the restroom?"
"Yes."
Pat looked at Bai Ye with a strange expression. She was here to use the restroom, but what was Bai Ye doing here?
He wouldn't be a peeping tom, would he?
"Go later. Ah Yi, just wait at the door. I've already sensed them."
As Bai Ye spoke, he directly stepped into the women's restroom, which completely shocked Pat.
She quickly looked around, and seeing that no one else had noticed and there was no one around, Pat quickly followed to pull Bai Ye out. If Bai Ye were seen coming out of the women's restroom by others, he would definitely be considered a pervert.
Inside the women's restroom.
A girl was smiling at the innermost stall. This eerie scene made goosebumps rise all over Pat's body. The series of strange events today, coupled with the rumors about this building, made Pat feel a little creeped out.
"You're being possessed!"
Bai Ye quickly stepped forward, formed a hand seal, and then pointed his finger at the girl's head. The girl's eerie expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a dazed look.
"What was that? Where's Sister Rin?!"
"You were entangled by a ghost. Go out. There's nothing for you here."
Bai Ye used his Sharingan to give her a psychological suggestion, sending her out. Then, Bai Ye turned his head to look at the two ghosts in the restroom, directly unleashing a lightning spell. With a bang, the two ghosts were instantly blasted into ashes.
"He can shoot lightning from his hands!?"
Pat covered her mouth, looking at Bai Ye in disbelief. A wave of surprise also surged in her heart. Was this something a human could do?
Coupled with what he had said before, Pat also had a guess in her heart. She then quickly asked, "Are you a Daoist?"
"Yes, this is my business card. If you have any problems, you can call me. Oh, and you'll need to pay. Also, you were also entangled by a ghost, but this time it's on the house."
As Bai Ye spoke, he handed over the business card in his hand. Pat subconsciously took it and glanced at the name, phone number, and address on it. Then, as if realizing something, she quickly walked forward and asked, "What do you mean I was entangled by a ghost? Was it that white-haired one?"
She was also a little scared in her heart, after all, she hadn't forgotten that scene in the elevator.
"No, that white-haired one is my assistant. The red-dressed one today was also a malevolent ghost, and those who were telling stories were also ghosts. Just now, in the lobby, besides me, you, and Benn, everyone else was a ghost."
Bai Ye explained, and also started to calculate in his mind. After dealing with Ba Jie, there would only be five ghosts left here.
"Nine people die in the building every year?"
Pat believed Bai Ye, mainly because of the lightning bolt Bai Ye had just shot from his hand and the shrill screams from inside the stall.
She finally understood now why Bai Ye had left with the red-dressed woman earlier.
So Bai Ye had seen that the woman was a ghost before.
And she was also entangled!
"That's right, but this year, this legend will come to an end."
"Then can I follow you and see how you deal with ghosts? And if you need to come to the women's restroom again, I can cover for you."
Although she said that, Pat still wanted to follow Bai Ye to see, at least this way she would feel more at ease.
"Of course you can."
If she ran off, she might be killed by a ghost prematurely. Since she was willing to follow him, Bai Ye was naturally happy about it.
"Let's go, there are six more."
After coming out of the women's restroom, Bai Ye glanced at Ah Yi and told her to continue taking him to other floors.
Fifteenth floor.
Ba Jie's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt as she looked at Bai Ye, Ah Yi, and Pat.
She had originally been waiting for the evening to see if she could communicate with Pat first.
Pat herself was unfamiliar, but she had been chosen as her scapegoat. And Bai Ye was chosen by A Shan. Now these two were together, plus Ah Yi was there, did that busybody make a move?
A hint of gloom flashed in Ba Jie's eyes. If that woman had made a move, she wouldn't let Ah Yi off!
Although the ghosts in this building had, more or less, received warnings from Ah Yi, and they also knew that the current Ah Yi was actually just like the Ah Yi of the past, threatened by ghosts and unable to directly intervene.
This was actually like an agreement between them: Ah Yi could try to do things, but she couldn't directly intervene, nor could she tell the people who were going to die about it. If they really ran away, then someone else would be chosen. Both sides had a tacit understanding, but Ah Yi's current situation seemed a bit off.
"Nice to meet you, Ba Jie."
"You know me?"
"Yes, you are the fourth ghost I have killed."
Bai Ye quickly and cleanly dealt with Ba Jie with a lightning strike, then turned to Pat and said, "You were her scapegoat. Now that she's dead, you're safe."
"Mm-hmm, thank you. How about I follow you and watch? If I encounter something like this in the future, or if my friends do, I'll introduce business to you!"
Pat swallowed her saliva, still feeling a bit uneasy in her heart. If she wasn't allowed to follow, she was genuinely afraid that she would be targeted by ghosts later on.
"By the way, why do they do that?"
"They're looking for someone to die in their place, otherwise they'll be trapped here forever and unable to reincarnate. If you were killed by them, you'd end up doing the same thing."
Ah Yi explained from the side. She had witnessed too many such things here over the years.
Most of the victims were actually good people when they were alive, but after death, due to resentment and various reasons, they would resent the living and also increasingly want to reincarnate. Thus, an obsession would form, and in the second year, they would choose to harm people here.
Pat didn't speak. She also didn't know if she would be such a person after death.
"Alright, if you encounter anything in the future, just call this number. I will charge you according to your actual situation!"
For the wealthy, Bai Ye would charge more; if they had no money, he would naturally charge less. Daoism itself emphasizes moderation.
"Mm-hmm, okay."
Pat nodded repeatedly. She didn't care about the money, as long as she could live. Luckily, she met Bai Ye, otherwise she would have really been killed. What use would money be if she died? Then she followed Bai Ye all the way, watching him resolve all the ghosts on each floor, a total of eight. Except for the red-dressed ghost A Shan that Bai Ye had mentioned earlier, all the other ghosts were resolved by Bai Ye.
This also made Pat breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that what Bai Ye said was true, and she really seemed to be safe.
"The malevolent aura on you has dissipated."
Ah Yi also spoke at this moment, then looked towards the top of the building and said, "And after you, Boss, dealt with all the ghosts here, the malevolent aura in this building seems to have greatly reduced, but it hasn't completely disappeared."
Could her Yin-Yang Eyes see this kind of thing?
Bai Ye had to use his spiritual power to see it, and the Yin-Yang Eyes really made Bai Ye a little envious. If a Daoist had Yin-Yang Eyes, it would indeed be much easier to deal with ghosts.
"Because there's still a formation in the underground parking lot."
Bai Ye said, directly calling Liu Qing: "Come in, the matter here has been resolved. I have video evidence. I'll wait for you on the first floor."
In the lobby, Liu Qing cautiously walked in. Upon seeing Bai Ye, he immediately went up to him. He wasn't afraid that Bai Ye was a ghost; what kind of ghost could use lightning? Lightning was the thing that ghosts in this world feared the most.
"See for yourself."
Taking the camera from Bai Ye's hand, the first and second clips were filmed by Bai Ye himself while dealing with the ghosts, and the subsequent ones were filmed by Ah Yi.
There were nine in total, especially when he saw Bai Ye dealing with the first red-dressed ghost, he almost knelt down and called Bai Ye 'Dad'. Were you the God of Thunder?
And he could match all these ghosts; they were all people who died around this time last year, and all of them had turned into ghosts looking for scapegoats.
"There's also a formation under this building. If I destroy it, then the previous situation won't happen here again. Even if there are still ghosts, they can still reincarnate and won't be trapped here, needing to constantly kill people to find scapegoats to reincarnate."
Bai Ye pointed to the ground. As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qing instantly panicked.
He had just spoken to the big boss. The big boss's meaning was that if Bai Ye could solve it, he would give him the top floor office, and an additional 50 million or even higher price, to ensure Bai Ye stayed in this building.
But Bai Ye's meaning, he wouldn't just leave after solving this, would he?
"Master, what will I do if you leave!?"
"I'm not leaving. I mean the ghosts here can reincarnate, and it won't be like before anymore."
A black line flashed across Bai Ye's eyes as he spoke somewhat speechlessly.
Hearing that Bai Ye wasn't leaving, Liu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't leaving.
Leading Bai Ye to the underground parking lot, Bai Ye walked to the center and then looked up at the ceiling. There, a huge spirit-capturing formation could vaguely be seen.
Evil Dao?!
No wonder the souls these past few years had to rely on finding scapegoats to enter reincarnation. Perhaps even if they found a scapegoat, they wouldn't enter reincarnation, but would be directly sucked away by this formation and become nourishment for others.
"Master, can you solve it?"
Liu Qing swallowed his saliva, looking at Bai Ye with some fear. He had been to the underground parking lot before, but he had never discovered that there was actually a formation above it.
"Simple."
This formation was just a simple spirit-capturing formation; destroying it was also very easy.
After destroying the formation here, Bai Ye could feel that all the yin energy around the building had also dissipated. Although Liu Qing and Pat were mortals, they also felt that the oppressive feeling seemed to have disappeared.
Ding! Resolved the building's endless reincarnation event, rewarded with one lottery chance.
Indeed!
Bai Ye finally understood. It seemed like he had to solve an event like this himself.
However, the difficulty was lower, unlike the Uchiha clan massacre night and God Valley, so it was understandable that the rewards were less.
Lottery.
Bai Ye silently thought.
Ding! Lottery chance used successfully, reward: Yin-Yang Eyes!
Yin-Yang Eyes?!
Damn it!
The ability he had always wanted had finally arrived.
Hong Kong Bai Ye: [Everyone, the Yin-Yang Eyes are here!]
Zombie Bai Ye: [Good, good, good, it's good that they're here!]
Nichijou Bai Ye: [They're finally here. The moment I got Yin-Yang Eyes, I experienced what Miko felt!]
Naruto Bai Ye: [Too bad, I can't see dirty things!]
Yin-Yang Eyes seemed to have a special bonus for these worlds.
Being able to see ghosts and needing to use magic to see ghosts are two different concepts.
With Yin-Yang Eyes, Bai Ye no longer needed to use his previous methods to see; he could just see directly with his eyes.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Ah Yi always felt that Bai Ye seemed to have changed slightly, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Nothing, let's go up. Oh, by the way, my company is opening tomorrow. Can you help me clean up, and just transfer the money directly to my card."
Saying that, Bai Ye gave his bank card to Liu Qing, asking him to transfer the money.
Liu Qing took it and repeatedly promised to complete it for Bai Ye very soon, but the cleaning might take a few days. Bai Ye didn't say much about it, as it was only a few days.
After giving his phone number to Ah Yi and telling her to wait for his notice to come to work later, Pat gritted her teeth, walked forward, looked at Bai Ye, and asked, "Bai Ye, can I work for you?"
She no longer had any romantic feelings for Bai Ye, as she knew she wasn't worthy of him, but she wanted to work for Bai Ye mainly because working there would be safe for her. If she were ever entangled by a ghost in the future, she could directly contact her boss, but unlike Ah Yi, she didn't have Yin-Yang Eyes, and she didn't know if Bai Ye would hire her.
"Receptionist?"
"Yes, normal salary is fine!"
Receptionist was fine too, she was happy with that!
"Alright then, you can also start working in a few days."
Since he was going to set up a company, a basic personnel structure was still necessary.
After explaining everything, Bai Ye directly called Zhong Fabai: "Old man, I have something to tell you. I have a large flat office in the most central part of Hong Kong. Yes, yes, yes, it's that building you mentioned. There's nothing I can do, my personal charm is just like this. I met a ghost when I went out, helped them solve it, and I said I didn't want money, but he said no, a Daoist like me should receive such compensation. I refused in every way, but I couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm."
Bai Ye could already imagine Zhong Fabai's expression, wanting to punch him.
And that was indeed the case.
On the other end of the phone, Zhong Fabai, besides feeling relieved, felt more like, 'Heaven did not give birth to me, Zhong Fabai.' He had gone through so many years, why hadn't he gained recognition? Why the hell not!?
