ough was going to ask for reinforcements and used smoke bombs as a distraction to mislead us. As we predicted, they didn't dare to take risks.”Upon hearing the woman's words, Leo's somber expression e...As the ripples smoothly entered a body once again, it found itself dressed in light clothing—a spaghetti strap short. Standing in the washroom, staring at its reflection in the mirror, it saw not only its own face but also a ghostly woman's face staring back. This specter was sticking out its tongue to lick the ripples’ hair.

Ripples, when he didn't see himself, said to the mirror:

"How come your face is a bit swollen, and you have a bump"

After finishing, she bumped her forehead against the mirror and then turned on the tap to start brushing her teeth and washing her face. She caught a glimpse of the ghostly reflection in the mirror, which seemed a little surprised. It tried to continue licking her hair, but this time its tongue didn't touch anything.

After washing her face, she let her bangs down to cover the bump on her forehead, then tied her hair into a ponytail. She had a piece of toast in her mouth and clutched her bag as she hurried out the door. The ghost girl didn't follow her any further this time.

Along the way, Lian Yi saw many strange ghosts. Some seemed to realize they were dead and just floated aimlessly. Others seemed unaware of their death and kept repeating their previous routines, buying breakfast, taking the subway, and going to work.

Because she left early, Lian Yi caught the first subway and luckily grabbed a seat in a corner. After sitting down, she contacted Shi Jiu.

"Stone Mill, what's the rush that you had me take this mission"

She seamlessly transitioned into this mission dimension this time, not even going back to the Time and Space Administration.

"Ripple, this mission is more urgent and difficult than usual. Only a high-level tasker like you can handle it."

This plane has encountered a problem. The Ghost Gate has been blocked, causing all souls of the departed to remain in the mortal realm. Over time, this has led to the plane's magnetic field becoming chaotic, with paranormal events occurring frequently. The birth and death rates are also out of proportion, and if this continues, it will lead to major issues.

The stone mill hurriedly explained.

The body I'm borrowing allows me to see the ghosts who are lingering in this world.

"Yes, she possesses the legendary yin-yang eyes, and she has a special ability herself. As long as she believes what she sees is real, those souls can harm living people."

Her soul power is very strong.

The ripples made sense as soon as I thought about it.

"Yes, it was because her soul power was so strong that her physical body couldn't withstand it. She was sickly since she was young, so shortly after her original birth, her parents found a high-ranking Taoist to seal most of her soul power, allowing her to grow up like an ordinary person."

But how come her third eye isn't sealed

Ripple asked, "For ordinary people, this isn't a good skill. The timid could scare themselves half to death."

"It was sealed, only because it had been twenty years, and with the change in the magnetic field of this world, the seal became loose. Moreover, soon after, her original self would be targeted by others. These people wanted to use her abilities, so they broke open her seal."

The stone mill speaks the truth.

It seems the original owner died a miserable death.

Just by looking at the ripples, one can guess the ending of the original.

"Yes, the original body was thoroughly exploited and then abandoned. It was even devoured by countless ghosts."

The millstone sighed.

"Let's talk about the original body's wishes first."

Ripple thought things should be done one by one, so she first asked about the original owner.

She hopes to be just an ordinary person, without any special abilities, living a simple life, having a stable job, getting married and raising children, and spending a happy life.

"Shouldn't you seek revenge on those who hurt her"

"This is something you excel at, just look at how well you do it."

The stone mill knows that its ace tasker does things with measure, so it will never force any regulations in this area.

"Okay, I understand. What about that task"

"Find the sealed ghost gate, open it so that souls have a place to return, and prevent this plane from becoming a ghost realm and collapsing entirely."

"Well, looks like there's some work to be done."

Ripple said helplessly.

"Yes, I will fully cooperate with you. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

The stone mill spoke immediately.

"Is there a monk in this place"

Yes, but they all failed. Only one ghost-controlling sect rose to the occasion, and the person who plotted against the original body came from this sect.

"Although they have fallen, they still exist. I'll go see them when the time comes. My space and cultivation techniques in this dimension should be usable, right"

The ripples communicated while asking about their own space, and the space was in an open state for her.

"Sure, but you have to be careful. The body you're currently borrowing can't handle rough treatment. You aren't planning on returning the body to its original owner after the mission is complete, are you"

"I understand. I'll find a way to enhance this body's strength first. You transfer the original's memories to me. The other's soul was withdrawn too thoroughly, and I can't read the original's memories."

"Okay, the original body's soul is special and cannot be shared with you. Otherwise, the physical body would collapse. I will now transfer the memories to you."

The stone grinder explained something, then looked at the slumbering soul beside him with some exasperation. This bigwig didn't even choose a good place for reincarnation, forcing them to clean up the mess. Originally, it was his responsibility to solve the problems of this plane in order to earn merit.

The result was an unforeseen complication, the expert's soul nearly consumed. This forced them to take over the task, though it was akin to cleaning up someone else's mess. However, since it was helping their superior deal with the aftermath, the rewards were substantial, and they could even show their face publicly. Therefore, he readily seized the opportunity, seamlessly transitioning Ripple into this mission.

The ripples on the other side didn't know that her mission this time was to clean up after the so-called big shot. However, even if she did, it wouldn't affect her completion of the task.

After she got off at her stop, she already possessed the memories of the past twenty years of her previous life. Following the flow of people, she was pushed out of the subway station and crossed the road to enter a building. Her workplace was on the twelfth floor.

Yuan Shen's ripples was a white-collar worker, working in a small import and export trading company. The company was too small, so she single-handedly handled both administration and accounting, doing two jobs for one salary. The boss always tried to take advantage of her. She had already decided to quit at the end of this month. Working under such a boss offered no future; she would be a struggling worker forever.

When Lian Ri saw his boss, he immediately noticed the seemingly virtuous man had a female ghost following him. A black shadow, resembling an infant, was also lying on his leg. Lian Ri knew without a doubt that this man was no good, which is why these things were clinging to him. Despite the female ghost reaching out to grab him countless times, she couldn't harm him at all.

"Ripple, you look good today. How about we have lunch together at noon I found a new ramen shop that supposedly tastes great."

The man smoothed his tie and, with a self-assured air, extended an invitation.

Liàn Yī then said with a forced smile:

"Boss, are you free to go out for lunch today As a worker, I don't have that time. I need to stay and work overtime to finish this month's report. If you're not in a rush this afternoon, I could join you for lunch."side, locking the windows, listening to the raging wind outside."Ripple, are you hurt""Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine.""Where are those three people""One's caught, the other two are in the eye of the w...
