Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 638 - 636: Seeking a Way Out Amid Desperation

Regarding the Heaven-Filling Stone, Mo Lin knew very little.

Moreover, back in Jin County, under those extreme circumstances, using the Heaven-Filling Stone was the best choice for Mo Lin.

"I had no other choice at the time," Mo Lin slowly said to Six-Eared Mingyue.

"What do you think the Heaven-Filling Stone is?" Six-Eared Mingyue asked Mo Lin.

"A very powerful thing, capable of transforming my Netherworld's Nether Fire," Mo Lin answered earnestly.

Six-Eared Mingyue let out a cold laugh, "It's more than just powerful; it's a divine object.

You're oversimplifying the Heaven-Filling Stone."

"A single Heaven-Filling Stone stirred up the entire East District.

Cui Xinyun is probably being pursued by Immortal Island."

At that moment, Mo Lin immediately understood why Cui Xinyun forcibly took the Heaven-Filling Stone without saying anything to him.

She was worried about Mo Lin.

The two met briefly and then parted just as quickly.

Thinking of this, Mo Lin felt very downcast.

Seeing Mo Lin silent, Six-Eared Mingyue felt the foundation was laid enough. He slowly said to Mo Lin, "Rather than being downcast, you should strive to become strong enough so that you can help Cui Xinyun with her troubles.

Actually, your strength is not much worse than Cui Xinyun's. What you need most now is to refine yourself.

Master the things you possess."

These words were not just idle talk from Six-Eared Mingyue.

Indeed, Mo Lin's strength was not much less than Cui Xinyun's.

Mo Lin just learned many things and had a wide range of skills, but it doesn't mean he isn't strong.

Quite the opposite, it means there's great room for improvement for Mo Lin.

Take Yun Xue'xue for example, she mastered her technique and her strength reached the limit.

But Mo Lin is different; he is proficient in many things, like mastering the Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship entirely and then retraining in Immortal Techniques.

This is Mo Lin's potential.

Among the things Mo Lin possesses, mastering any one of them could bring him a huge leap forward.

"She really cares a lot."

Mo Lin mumbled to himself, looking in the direction of Cui Xinyun, "Actually, even if I had the Heaven-Filling Stone, it would be fine, I have the ability to protect it."

Having the ability to protect the Heaven-Filling Stone is true, but facing Immortal Island's relentless pursuit is somewhat troublesome.

Mo Lin slowly took out a golden coin and said again, "This is also one of my trump cards."

Upon seeing the golden coin, Six-Eared Mingyue showed a surprised expression.

The Seasonal Coins, even she has never possessed such a thing.

"For now, don't use this coin, you need to focus on mastering Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship," Six-Eared Mingyue reminded Mo Lin.

Mo Lin really had great fortune.

Although Mo Lin isn't proficient in everything, he always manages to acquire unexpected things, enhancing his strength in ways that are unforeseen.

Though the path he takes is a bit skewed.

Mo Lin no longer lamented; what he needed most now was to improve his strength.

From day to night.

Mo Lin had only a few things to do every day.

Eat, sleep, train.

Eat when hungry, sleep when tired, and train when awake.

Completely trapped in this cycle.

As Mo Lin mastered the Jingming Exorcism Sword, he became little by little proficient in Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship as well.

"Hey... pack up, come with me on a mission." An abrupt voice broke the tranquility of the night.

Mo Lin stopped his actions, looking in the direction of the voice.

The person speaking was Liuer Mingxi.

"My master says your training is almost done, let me take you for some practical experience," Liuer Mingxi slowly said to Mo Lin.

Seeing Mo Lin hesitate, Liuer Mingxi said again to Mo Lin, "Rest assured and come with me on the mission.

My master is keeping an eye on the Gen Family; they won't be in trouble."

"Okay," Mo Lin nodded.

It's not that Mo Lin didn't want to go on the mission, but he was worried that after he left the Gen Family, they might fall into danger again.

The silver-white moonlight fell from the sky, illuminating the surroundings.

Mo Lin followed Liuer Mingxi out of the Gen Family.

At the same time, he also saw several members of the Gen Family leaving together, not sure what they were doing.

"So late, what are these people going to do?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.

"Of course, it's the mission."

Liuer Mingxi slowly said to Mo Lin, "Surely it's not a date in the middle of the night, right?"

Earlier, Mo Lin had been fierce with her, so Liuer Mingxi deliberately spoke with a tone of sarcasm.

"The environment of the East District is already so dilapidated, yet there are still people maintaining the last dignity of ordinary people."

Executing the mission of slaying Evil Spirits is the daily routine of ordinary cultivators.

Only by eliminating some wandering murderers—the Evil Spirits—do ordinary people have a chance to survive.

After all, the stability of the East District still needs to be maintained.

Liuer Mingxi took out sheets of paper and carefully examined them.

"No... these tasks won't do... not quite suitable for you."

"Let's go, follow me to see if there are any new missions."

Mo Lin followed behind Liuer Mingxi.

Liuer Mingxi rode a red motorcycle and then stopped in front of a wooden building.

All along the way, Mo Lin saw many motorcycles.

All painted red.

These motorcycles were parked about every few dozen kilometers.

The wooden building was very simple, not even cemented walls.

Built simply with wood.

Red motorcycles were parked in front of this building.

Pushing open the wooden door, there was a creaking sound of wood rubbing against itself.

Liuer Mingxi led Mo Lin into the house.

The house smelled unpleasant, like foot odor, the damp stink of un-dried clothes.

And the unpleasant smell of scalp oil.

The house was crowded with people.

People drinking beer, chatting.

Liuer Mingxi took Mo Lin into the house.

The gaze of the crowd briefly gathered on the two, then everyone resumed their own business.

A cacophony of sounds rose and fell, much like a market.

"Even fewer people... the ones who were drinking with us yesterday are all dead," a man alone drinking said while tilting his head and speaking to himself.

Others came in one after another, taking the papers on the table and leaving.

These papers seemed to be mission tasks.

Many people came in to pick tasks.

Liuer Mingxi took out a thick pile of task papers and went to the counter.

"I've completed all these tasks."

Suddenly, silence fell.

Everyone's gaze remained on Liuer Mingxi's hands.

There were at least over a hundred sheets in her hand.

Which meant she alone had completed over a hundred tasks.

Everyone was shocked.

Liuer Mingxi went to the table where the task papers were and searched for a while.

Picked up a black task paper.

"This mission will do."

With that, she put away the black task paper.

All tasks here were on white paper, except for this one black paper.

Even first-time visitor Mo Lin could guess: it must be a special or difficult mission.

"Is this an organized place?" Mo Lin asked, puzzled by his surroundings.

Mo Lin was encountering such a place for the first time.

Liuer Mingxi thought for a while and then said, "It's not organized, it's a self-established public welfare place by some people.

Mainly for exorcising ghosts, killing Alien Spirits, and slaying Evil Buddha.

Protecting ordinary people."

Mo Lin was shocked; he was learning about such a place for the first time.

"The world keeps turning no matter who leaves it."

Liuer Mingxi slowly said to Mo Lin, "The lower class has their own way of surviving.

This group of people gathered here simply wants to survive.

They exorcise ghosts, kill Evil Spirits, just hoping to secure a stable future for generations to come."

Even in the dire straits of the East District, there are people seeking a way to survive amidst the hardships.
