Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Tricking Them All Back into the Department Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Tricking Them All Back into the Department Mo Haihao’s mouth quirked up at the corner, revealing a nasty smile.
He leaned in close to Hua Jinyan’s ear, lowering his voice, a strong sense of danger seeping through, “What I’m here for might scare you!”
“You know, in this world, there are ghosts.”
“When people die, they turn into all sorts of terrifying Ghosts…”
Mo Haihao tried his best to scare the little boy, wanting to see fear in his eyes and satisfy the wicked taste in his heart.
But there was none, the little boy’s eyes were as calm as a quiet lake, without a ripple.
Terribly silent, without a hint of fear.
Mo Haihao went all out to scare him, “I mean there are lots of ghosts in this world, maybe even right next to you. There really is one! Look, right to your left! Sticking out its tongue, looking at you, it’s a hanged ghost!”
Hua Jinyan looked at him quietly, listening to his nonsense.
“I’m serious! Don’t look so unbelieving! Look at my eyes! These are Yin Yang Eyes, I can see things ordinary people can’t, like–Ghosts!”
“…” Hua Jinyan had a poker face.
Seeing that he couldn’t scare him at all, Mo Haihao was frustrated.
He couldn’t even scare a kid, how would he face others if this got out?
Mo Haihao wanted to continue his strenuous scare tactics, but Little Taotie cocked his head, cooing, “Where’s the hanged ghost? Why don’t I see it?”
Mo Haihao made a shushing gesture at Little Taotie.
Little Taotie suddenly realized, “You lied again!”
After he knew that he had deceived Ghost Sister, he was labeled as a “lying master” by Little Taotie.
“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense!” Mo Haihao pointed in a direction, “Look, another Ghost is coming!”
Hua Jinyan continued with his poker face, his gaze devoid of any ripples.
Mo Haihao felt a sense of defeat.
Little Taotie cooed with a milk-like voice, “Big liar, you can’t fool Hua Jinyan!”
Mo Haihao frowned, “Why not?”
Little Taotie giggled, “Because he’s just like me!”
“Yep, we both can see Ghosts!”
Mo Haihao held his forehead, after all this time, he’d been playing the fool, like a monkey performing tricks only to be laughed at!
Mo Haihao was annoyed, “You could see them all along, why didn’t you say so sooner!”
Hua Jinyan replied, “You didn’t ask.”
Mo Haihao was taken aback.
Mo Haihao looked at Hua Jinyan suspiciously, “Can you really see supernatural entities?”
“Mhm,” Hua Jinyan responded nasally.
“Can’t you have a better attitude, and not be so dismissive?”
Hua Jinyan glanced at him, silent.
This time he even spared the nasal reply.
Mo Haihao’s heart swelled with joy: One Little Taotie was surprise enough, but it turned out there was also a little ice cube here!
All have to be deceived into joining the Special Department!
Mo Haihao rubbed his hands together, plotting his deception, the corners of his mouth lifting gently.
Hua Jinyan remarked, “You smile like a villain.”
Mo Haihao restrained himself, his voice soft and gentle, “Do you know about the Special Department?”
Hua Jinyan remained silent.
Little Taotie tilted his head, his big eyes filled with confusion.
Mo Haihao patiently explained, “When something supernatural can’t be explained, or an extremely difficult case arises, the country dispatches the Special Department to investigate.”
Hua Jinyan’s interest was lacking; he even yawned.
Little Taotie, however, seemed somewhat interested, his big eyes lively as he asked, “So are you from the Special Department, here to investigate the case of Ghost Sister? So does the Special Department help lots of vengeful spirits and punish bad people?”
