Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 233 - 83: Five Ghosts Transport
Evening time.
The sky was dark.
Chief Luo carried a bag of grain into the house, stuck it onto the ground, and gestured to the people inside:
"Take this to the back and cook it up. Make sure to seal the kitchen door tight to keep in the heat. If someone sees, it could cause unnecessary trouble."
"Got it."
Madam Luo walked over and tugged his sleeve:
"Come with me for a moment."
"What’s wrong?" Chief Luo looked surprised and followed his wife to the corner of the backyard:
"What’s so urgent that we can’t discuss it in front of everyone?"
"Hmph!"
Madam Luo snorted softly:
"How can I speak openly? Our family has six people, and Officer Qi’s family has five. Do you think that’s not enough? How long will this little bit of grain last?"
"Don’t say that." Chief Luo shook his head:
"I’ve made plenty of enemies over the years as Chief of Police. If it weren’t for Officer Qi’s support, who knows if we would still be alive now."
"Besides..."
"We’re living in Officer Qi’s house."
As for their own home...
Recently, many enemies have tried to take advantage of the chaos to seek revenge, making it too dangerous to live there, forcing them to hide here.
"As for Officer Qi’s family, let’s not even mention it."
Madam Luo murmured:
"Why did you bring Xiao Rong with you? Every extra person is another mouth to feed. How long has it been since we’ve had a full meal?"
"With the current food shortage, every time you go out to get food, the family is worried sick."
"She’s your sister, your own sister!" Chief Luo’s eyes widened, and he said:
"Besides, she has a child. How can her husband take care of her in that state? If I don’t bring her, should I just watch her die?"
"You..." Madam Luo stamped her foot in anger:
"Are you really this kind-hearted? Or are you interested in her? I’ve long noticed that the way you look at that wench Xiao Rong is not right."
"What are you talking about?" Chief Luo was speechless and, after thinking for a moment, said:
"Don’t let your imagination run wild. Your sister is useful to me, and maybe she can help Ru’Er find another place. Staying with us might not be safe."
Luo Ru is their daughter, just fourteen years old.
"Useful in what way?" Madam Luo asked angrily, pinching the soft flesh on Chief Luo’s waist, her face filled with rage:
"Other than having a lot of milk and being bigger than me in that area, what else is she good for?"
"Having a lot of milk, that’s already a use." Chief Luo said:
"Don’t worry about it. You’ll understand when the time comes."
"Fine!"
Madam Luo said angrily:
"I knew it. You have evil intentions."
"It’s not..." Chief Luo was about to explain when his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he roughly pulled Madam Luo aside:
"Watch out!"
"Thud!"
An arrow brushed past Madam Luo and embedded into the ground several inches deep. If it had hit, even if it weren’t the vital parts, it would’ve been fatal.
"Who?"
A cold voice came with the whistling wind from above:
"Chief Luo, it’s been years. Do you still remember an old acquaintance?"
"It’s you!"
Seeing the newcomer, Chief Luo’s expression changed drastically, and he pulled his wife back furiously:
"Run!"
"Run?" The newcomer wore a cloak, his eyes sinister, and he sneered coldly:
"We’ve gone through so much trouble to find where Chief Luo is hiding, do you think we’ll just let you escape? No one is leaving today!"
As he spoke.
Sounds of breaking doors came from the front yard.
"Bang!"
"Clang..."
"Ah!"
Inside the house, a woman screamed hysterically.
Several figures leapt into the courtyard from outside, forming a circle and advancing step by step.
Chief Luo’s quick glance immediately recognized several familiar faces, causing his heart to sink, panic filling his eyes.
This is...
An ambush!
Some were family members of the criminals he had captured, while some were fugitives he had once caught, all harboring grudges against him.
If it were one or two, or even three or four, he might have a fighting chance.
But now...
There were eight of them!
And among them was one of the Hejian Double Slaughter, whose power was equal to his own, the second one had died at his hands years ago.
"Chief Luo."
One person pulled off a mask, glaring angrily:
"Do you remember me?"
"Cyan-Faced Ghost." Chief Luo squinted his eyes:
"I only regret not being able to strike you down with another blow back then, turning you into an actual ghost!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Haha..." Cyan-Faced Ghost laughed heartily:
"Even if I turned into a ghost, I wouldn’t let you go. No need to rush, Chief Luo. We’ll send you all down to be ghosts today."
"Dear!"
Madam Luo’s face turned pale.
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
A boy and a girl, both in their teens, rushed out from inside, their faces still youthful. They held knives and swords, with determined expressions and no fear even in facing so many villains.
"Haha..." someone laughed:
"Good!"
"Looks like we’ll have a family reunion today!"
"Misfortune shouldn’t extend to wives and children." Chief Luo’s voice turned icy:
"Do you all really have to go this far?"
"To the end?" Boss of the Double Evil sneered wickedly:
"Have you forgotten what we do?"
"Enough talk." A short man licked his lips, his face vicious:
"Kill him, avenge our brothers!"
"Go!"
Cyan-Faced Ghost charged with his Ghost Head Saber:
"Leave that Luo for the last, let him watch his loved ones die one by one, taste the same heart-wrenching pain I felt back then!"
"Indeed."
The crowd surged forward, weapons ready.
None of today’s attackers were weaklings; each had achieved Blood Exchange Cultivation Base, and the weakest was skilled in Body Technique; otherwise, they wouldn’t have escaped from Chief Luo’s grasp back then.
"Ah!"
Chief Luo let out a skyward roar and unleashed a powerful slash with his saber.
"Clang..."
Boss of the Double Evil blocked it with a club but was forced back several steps; instead of being alarmed, he seemed delighted:
"Luo, today is the day you die. No matter how you struggle, it is useless. Just accept your fate!"
