"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" The skeleton emitted a creaking sound, anxiously explaining everything.
It turned out that its true form was a White Bone Spirit with four hundred years of cultivation, a monster from the Pleasure Quarter. During the battle that shook the entire assembly's secret realm, it was caught in the turbulent flow by that heaven-piercing, earth-penetrating divine being.
Subsequently, the entire secret realm collapsed, and it was swallowed by the void before it could escape. It didn't know how long it had been, but in the void, it saw a path. Following that path, it crawled until it arrived in this world.
"So that's how it is. That's how you came here," Jiang Wen said thoughtfully.
Thinking of the path the monster mentioned, he asked again, "What kind of path was it, and how did you see it?"
"Immortal Master, this little one doesn't know how to explain it. It was just a path radiating golden light. This little one was crawling in the void and then stepped onto that path. That path was too bright; it was hard for this little one not to see it," the skeleton said timidly.
"What else did you see? Explain clearly," Jiang Wen pressed, now extremely concerned about this path. After all, this thing could connect to the real world, which made him a little uneasy.
Why would such a path appear in the void, and who created it?
"This little one isn't too sure. However, there's one thing this little one can be sure of: when this little one stepped onto that path, I also saw a giant," the skeleton said.
"A giant?"
"Yes, a very tall figure. He was surrounded by many people, all shouting something about Shennong. That's right! It was Shennong! The place where the giant walked was the path of light," the skeleton said, still with lingering fear, as if that giant was a great terror, still making him afraid.
"…Shennong," Jiang Wen said, speechless, a storm raging in his heart. This was the first time he had experienced such emotional turmoil.
He had never imagined that the reason this monster came to the real world was because of him. The giant called Shennong was clearly what he was called in Taicang.
So, did he bring this group of monsters home?
Discovering that the plot was like this, Jiang Wen didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought of the people who died on the sofa; perhaps they were also greedy for something. But it was indeed wrong for them to die indirectly because of him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wen's mood wasn't as relaxed as before. He looked at the skeleton and asked the last question: "Do you know how many monsters came?"
"This… This little one isn't sure either. Too many monsters died in that battle of the Pleasure Quarter. Especially when that divine being was born at the end, it caused heavy losses to the great demons. Even Lord Chi Yao almost lost his life in his hands. And when this little one stepped onto that path of light, apart from that giant, the others were not very clear. So, this little one doesn't know how many demons came here specifically," the skeleton said softly, clearly feeling the displeasure in Jiang Wen's emotions. At this moment, it was afraid of angering the cultivator in front of him, causing him to be crushed to ashes.
"What is your name?"
"This little one's name is Bai Jingjing."
"…You're actually called Bai Jingjing!" Jiang Wen couldn't help but complain.
"This, this little one has been called this name since I can remember," Bai Jingjing said aggrievedly.
"Really never?" Jiang Wen looked at it suspiciously. He didn't open his celestial eye to check, but just asked tentatively with his own eyesight. "Where did all the other people's clothes outside come from?"
"What clothes? If the Immortal Master is talking about the underwear on the sofa, this little one didn't do that," Bai Jingjing said aggrievedly. "Those were all the good deeds of this person! This little one has his memories."
Bai Jingjing explained all the things the original body had done. It turned out that this body was originally an honest otaku. However, given that his voice was nice and he looked good, he was quite successful online.
In the end, the otaku found a belonging and fell in love with a girl online. Soon after, the two got engaged and married, but after the girl took her wedding photos, she said she wanted to break off the engagement. And she didn't plan to return the betrothal gifts, which made the otaku anxious.
Out of desperation, the otaku took the most extreme path. And that girl is still lying in the big refrigerator at home and has never been discovered. After doing this, the otaku seemed to have a malignant release. Relying on his voice and persona, he successively harmed several other people. Until finally, when he was sitting in front of the computer preparing to deceive Li Jiayi, Bai Jingjing seized his body.
"This little one didn't want him to die either. I originally wanted to stay for a while and then leave. Who knew that he was extremely malignant, and this little one couldn't break free and could only forcibly possess him. In the end, he died, and this little one couldn't leave," Bai Jingjing said aggrievedly.
"Then what are you doing all these things for?"
"To cheat some money to order takeout."
"…" Jiang Wen was choked by the demon, and it was the first time he felt so speechless.
How could the whole thing look so ridiculous and funny, yet so real?
"I hope what you said is true," Jiang Wen calmed down and wiped his finger on his forehead.
A golden light flickered, and the third eye opened!
The skeleton wailed as it was imprisoned in the golden light, desperately begging for mercy, saying that it would never cheat anyone else's money online again.
"Humph, I'll take your word for it. You didn't lie to me," Jiang Wen unhappily withdrew his celestial eye. After confirming that this Bai Jingjing had indeed not lied, he believed those things.
"Immortal Master is wise, even if this little one had ten thousand demon galls, this little one would not dare to harm anyone!" Bai Jingjing creaked its chin and said aggrievedly.
Jiang Wen was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door. He sensed that it was the official police and understood that the otaku's murder had been discovered.
He looked at Bai Jingjing and struck a restriction into its body.
"Go surrender to the police yourself, explain the truth, and don't hide anything. As for my affairs, don't mention them. As long as you cooperate well, it will be enough to guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing."
"This little one understands, this little one understands!" Bai Jingjing nodded quickly. Then it saw Jiang Wen walking leisurely through the wall and flying away on his sword.
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent. Bai Jingjing retracted its gaze and looked at the room: "The Immortal Master said to cooperate with the police, presumably this is also arranged by the Immortal Master."
It searched the otaku's memory and knew how to surrender to the police.
Walking to the door and opening it, Bai Jingjing raised its hands the moment the police rushed in.
"Officer! I surrender!"
Seeing a skeleton appearing in the room, making a surrender gesture and speaking human language, the police present were all unable to react for a long time.
