"Alright, Since this is the case, I will do the investigation for you all."

Cain, Sarah, and Emily looked at each other and then nodded.

Qi Xiuyan wanted to walk to that village to see the situation of the slums after they ran away. The slums are not far from the village just on 15 minutes walk.

"Come, Show me the way."

Cain shook his head.

"Sir, We can't walk out of the 10-meter radius no matter what."

Qi Xiuyan almost forgot the restrictions on weaker ghosts. He waved his hands.

"Who said that? Come here."

'System, Buy me three 'Freedom for ghost' talismans, the lowest level.'

[Bought three 'Freedom for Ghost' Talismans, the beginner level. -300 Points.]

As soon as the three came near Qi Xiuyan, he flicked their heads hard which made them scream.

"Kya!"

"Ouch"

"Sss!"

But soon they felt light, as if something heavy fell off their head, their whole bodies were light as if they will float in a moment.

"Now, come show me the way to your houses."

The three ghosts floated a bit far and became surprised.

Then Qi Xiuyan and 3 ghosts went to the village in 20 minutes. The Villagers were surprised to see the beautiful young man.

"Young man, Do you need help?"

Qi Xiuyan glanced at Old man.

"Sir, I am Cain's friend. I found out that Cain died a few days ago and came to visit his family."

The old man hesitated but didn't tell him anything but took him directly to Cain's house. It was a very simple house with only 3 rooms and a kitchen.

The old couple looked haggard as if they had lost the willpower to live.

Cain looked at such parents and his fist clenched, only if he was still alive his parents won't have to be like this.

 Those dangerous thoughts brewed and his anger and hate became violent Yin energy that directly attacked Sarah and Emily, his murderers.

 Qi Xiuyan was always on alert after coming to Cain's house, he quickly slapped Cain's head.

 "Ouch! Why did you hit me?!"

 Qi Xiuyan didn't explain that to him and walked inside the house with the old couple.

 Cain was their only son and after losing their only beloved child, the couple was depressed. Qi Xiuyan got to know many clues, such as Cain did send letters to his family once every 4 or 5 months.

 Emily and Sarah shook their heads.

 "We used to receive Cain's letter every month."

 Qi Xiuyan only glanced at them. He can't talk to them right now, or else he will be seen as a lunatic talking on air.

 Cain's death happened because he was stabbed in the stomach area but a person usually doesn't die immediately after being stabbed in the stomach.

 He looked at Sarah's height and then at Cain's height. He visualized Sarah stabbing Cain and according to the heights, Sarah could only stab in the stomach easily.

 He humbly asked Cain's father for a letter from Cain. He took it and left. He walked to Emily's house. Emily had only a brother to live with.

 After Emily's death, her brother was had drank so much that after he opened the door, he fell straight down.

"My sis...thar...died...she...ish....dea...died...ugh...."

Looking at her always gentle brother looking this way, Emily cried but no tears came out. Ghost can't cry.

 Sarah was also surprised, Emily's brother was a good and gentle person. He is the favourite of many unmarried girls but he is always focused on spoiling his sister.

 Emily regretted her decision but nothing can be changed...nothing can be changed.

 Taking advantage of Emily's brother being drunk, Qi Xiuyan walked inside the house and went to Emily's room under Sarah's guidance.

 "Emily put those letters in a small box under the bed."

Qi Xiuyan bowed down and took out the wooden box and opened it carefully.

There were many letters.

"A total of 29 letters."

Emily floated over. She couldn't bear to see her brother in this state any longer so she came up.

"29?" 

Hearing this, Qi Xiuyan narrowed his eyes, Cain went out of the Village for 3 years and according to Emily, he used to send letters every month. So there are 7 months' letters missing.

"Cain, did you meet someone after 7 months of arriving in the village or made any friends and told them about Emily or Sarah?"

Cain thought and suddenly remembered.

"Not exactly a friend I would say, It was a servent who would come to buy fruits, We did become friends and I shared some stories about the village, Yeah, I remember I told him about the most beautiful girl in our village but that was just once."

Emily suddenly looked at Cain with a faint blush while Sarah rolled her eyes.

Qi Xiuyan nodded.

"Did that man know where your Village was?"

Cain nodded.

Qi Xiuyan nodded again. 

"The matter was not much difficult. That person must have wanted to flirt with the most beautiful woman in the Village but didn't have much courage to write his name so he used Cain as his disguise and sent letters to Emily."

Emily was dazed, so she Misunderstood and made such a huge mistake? 

Sarah was also dazed, So she killed an innocent person? She shivered and shook her head.

"What's your proof?!"

Qi Xiuyan didn't mind her manners And calmly put two letters in front of her.

"These are the proofs. Check the writing style."

Totally different.

Cain who had proven his innocence but couldn't be happy just wrapped his arms and coldly looked at the two women.

"Now, How will you repay me for my life?"

Sarah was startled but she really did something wrong and repaying for her crimes is nothing bad.

"You say."

"Then revive me."

Cain said coldly.

Sarah was silent. She can't do that. Cain snorted.

But Qi Xiuyan suddenly said.

"I can revive you. As you are innocent, I can help you. And you two can also be revived but need to be punished for your crimes."

The three quickly asked how.

"Give auditions for Black and White impermanence."

Qi Xiuyan bound a Yama System who threw him in a western fantasy novel and asked him to make a good and nice Hell with strict order and punishments.

Qi Xiuyan first looked at his identity as the villain, then at his family who was either sick, weak, old, pregnant or missing, then he looked at his low level [Level 0] and his money which was in the negatives and had debts to repay.

And finally, he looked at the Mission board.

So, How to survive? and How to make a Hell where people don't believe in the underworld?
