Ghosts usually rest during the day.
At least ninety percent of ghosts will be resting during the day and won't appear.
Even ghost messengers like Li Xue will rest during the day and only take action at night.
For Yun Lin to encounter danger during the day, that's indeed strange.
"Mr. Mo, will you go personally?" Li Bingyan asked Mo Lin tentatively.
"I can do that." Mo Lin agreed readily.
After all, he wanted to catch a few more ghosts.
Taking just a few steps forward, Mo Lin suddenly remembered something important and stopped, turning to Li Bingyan.
"Help me find the whereabouts of a ghost messenger."
"Ghost messenger?"
"Yes, the ghost messenger is called Zishang Qingrou." Mo Lin knew that the Ghost-Controlling Society had a strong information network, which was why he asked Li Bingyan to find information about Zishang Qingrou.
"Zishang Qingrou? Isn't she already dissipated?"
Li Bingyan's words struck Mo Lin like a bolt of lightning.
"What? Dissipated?"
"How did she dissipate?"
Mo Lin rushed forward excitedly, questioning Li Bingyan.
Li Bingyan was startled by Mo Lin's sudden move.
"This ghost messenger came to our Ghost-Controlling Society a year ago seeking help. The higher-ups didn't reach a consensus and refused to help her."
"After that, there was no news about her. I guess she must have died."
"Why would she seek the Ghost-Controlling Society? What trouble did she encounter?" Mo Lin asked more questions.
"The matter is quite broad. I only know a bit. She was driven into a corner by ghosts from the Ghost Realm and wanted the society's protection."
"Do you know the Ghost Realm? The Ghost Realm..." Li Bingyan was just about to explain the Ghost Realm to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin interrupted directly, "No need to explain; I know about the Ghost Realm."
Just hearing the word 'Ghost Realm' inexplicably agitated Mo Lin.
It's really like clinging spirits.
In the Underworld, the ghosts from the Ghost Realm were mortal enemies. Now in the mortal world, the ghosts from the Ghost Realm remain insistent.
These ghosts are really damn problematic.
Can't they just play their own game?
Why bother the ghost messenger from Yedou?
With Zishang Qingrou and Li Xue as precedents, Mo Lin doubted the Ghost Realm's ghosts wouldn't trouble him.
The Ghost Realm's ghosts targeting the Yedou ghost messenger certainly wouldn't let Mo Lin off.
It's really like clinging spirits.
Mo Lin felt somewhat angry at this moment.
If only he were at Monarch Level, he'd go and destroy those bastards from the Ghost Realm directly.
They cause problems every day!
Ever since Mo Lin returned to the mortal world, he heard the term 'Ghost Realm' frequently.
It's like he and the ghosts from the Ghost Realm are tied together.
No matter what he did, there's always some connection.
Li Bingyan looked confused, not understanding what she said wrong to make Mo Lin so angry.
"Can you confirm whether Zishang Qingrou has dissipated?" Mo Lin asked Li Bingyan.
"Unsure, I'm just guessing she's dissipated. How about this? I'll go check about Zishang Qingrou for you now? Is that okay?"
"Sure." Mo Lin nodded.
Zishang Qingrou was Mo Lin's senior in the Underworld, possessing various methods.
She wasn't an ordinary Yin Messenger. Mo Lin doubted she'd be forced into dissipation by the Ghost Realm's ghosts.
"After finding out about Zishang Qingrou, just call me." Mo Lin left this sentence and departed.
He needed to find Yun Lin and see what trouble she encountered that she couldn't get out of.
Zishang Qingrou being a ghost messenger meant her files were top secret.
Li Bingyan, even trying to access those files, faced some difficulties.
While checking on Zishang Qingrou, Li Bingyan quickly checked on Mo Lin.
.....
Leaving the Ghost-Controlling Society headquarters, Mo Lin drove his Rolls-Royce to the West Suburbs to find Yun Lin.
Yun Lin had sent a location in the group chat.
Following the location, Mo Lin quickly arrived where Yun Lin was.
Mo Lin followed the map's location to a school.
It's summer vacation, so no students were present.
Mo Lin used the Ghost Eye skill to check the situation.
Things were peaceful toward the school, with no sign of Ghost Qi.
This indicated that there were no ghosts at the school.
Why would Yun Lin encounter danger at school?
Mo Lin parked his car at the school entrance and then walked inside.
Entering the school led him to a basketball court.
At the center of the basketball court, a group of people was having a fierce argument.
Yun Lin stood perfectly straight where she was, holding a black umbrella in her right hand and arguing intensely with a man in front of her. Her cheeks were flushed red due to her excited emotions.
After all, she's a young girl, not adept at arguing.
"Why should the ghost I captured be given to you?" Yun Lin retorted, biting her lip.
"We had long set our sights on this ghost, but you were quicker and caught it first. Our prey should be returned to us." The obese young man shamelessly pressed Yun Lin.
As the young man spoke, he advanced, accompanied by six or seven others who closed in on Yun Lin.
Behind Yun Lin were two young women about her age.
One woman's hair was disheveled, and her wrist was red and swollen, seemingly from a recent conflict.
Before Mo Lin arrived, they already had a physical clash.
Yun Lin frowned slightly, knowing if she didn't give up the ghost she caught, Pang Hu and his people wouldn't let them leave.
She glanced around as if waiting for someone.
She had just sent a distress signal in the group; someone should be arriving soon.
"What's going on?" Mo Lin asked Yun Lin as he walked toward her.
Seeing Mo Lin, Yun Lin's desperate face brightened with relief.
A savior had arrived.
Seeing Mo Lin, Yun Lin hurried in his direction.
The other two women followed behind.
"These people are from the Purple Dragon Association. I caught a ghost yesterday, and they want to steal it." Yun Lin explained to Mo Lin.
"Purple Dragon Association?" Mo Lin heard this name for the first time.
"The Purple Dragon Association is similar to the Ghost-Controlling Society, managed by the state, but they mainly handle trivial matters." Yun Lin explained to Mo Lin.
The Ghost-Controlling Society and the Purple Dragon Association are both state institutions.
The Ghost-Controlling Society handles security and ghost capturing, whereas the Purple Dragon Association doesn't manage city security and only focuses on ghost capturing.
The relationship between these two forces isn't good, and they often conflict over interests.
"How many people have come?" Yun Lin asked Mo Lin.
"Just me." Mo Lin answered leisurely.
"Huh... just you?"
Yun Lin found it hard to believe, scanning behind Mo Lin.
Indeed... no one was behind Mo Lin.
She felt hopeless instantly.
Mo Lin being here made no difference.
Yun Lin's face showed frost...
Seeing only Mo Lin present, Pang Hu laughed like a pig.
"Yun Lin, is this your backup? Did you call him over just to take a beating?"
Even if Mo Lin looked scrawny, even if he was built, he couldn't possibly be a match for Pang Hu's group.
Yun Lin snorted, biting her lip, signaling Mo Lin to run.
Mo Lin seemed oblivious to Yun Lin's gaze, standing motionless.
Looking around at those people, there were three second-level Ghost-Controlling Masters and four first-level Ghost-Controlling Masters.
He didn't understand why Yun Lin, a third-level Ghost-Controlling Master, would fear this group.
