The ghosts in the courtyard didn't dare to make a sound; they could feel the terrifying power radiating from that talisman.
Scared the hell out of a ghost—the new station master actually knows how to draw talismans!
Seeing these ghosts playing dead, Yang Fan let out a cold snort. "If none of you speak up, I’ll assume you’re all the ghosts who stole my loquats, and I’ll fry the lot of you."
As she spoke, the Heaven Thunder Talisman in her hand gradually expanded before the terrified eyes of the ghosts. Seeing the golden talisman about to reach the female ghost on the very edge, she hurriedly spoke up.
"I didn't steal any! It was Hei Ming and his underlings who stole them!"
Once she broke the silence, the other innocent ghosts behind her began to chime in one after another. "We didn't steal them! It was all Hei Ming and his underlings!"
"Who is Hei Ming?" The talisman in Yang Fan's hand paused.
The female ghost, who had been less than a meter away from the talisman, let out a sigh of relief. It scared the life out of her; she almost thought she had died a second time.
"Hei Ming is a fierce ghost who died three hundred years ago. He didn't come himself; he sends his underlings every day," the female ghost hurriedly confessed. "The ones who were scaring you at the window just now were his underlings, and over there, that big guy standing at the station entrance."
"That is the evil ghost Wang Cheng, one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Hei Ming."
What Four Heavenly Kings? They were clearly the Four Evil Kings! Bullies!
Evil ghost Wang Cheng:...Damn it!
He tried his best to lower his presence, never expecting to be exposed by this clueless little ghost.
Once he returned to the underworld, he would definitely make that little ghost's soul scatter into nothingness!
His blue-gray pupils flickered with murderous intent as Wang Cheng glanced at the female ghost.
The female ghost was terrified by his gaze, thinking to herself that she was done for—once they returned to the underworld, Wang Cheng would definitely kill her!
Wuwuwu... why is her life so bitter?
It was bad enough she died young, but even as a ghost, her weak personality meant she was bullied by others.
She had just been curious and followed those evil ghosts over to see what the new station master looked like, but those evil ghosts had crowded the window so tightly there wasn't a single gap left.
She hadn't even seen the new station master, and instead, because she was slow to run, she had been pinned here.
The female ghost had a change of heart; since she was going to die anyway, she might as well drag a few others down with her.
She continued to tell Yang Fan, "Master, not only did they steal your loquats, but they also used to bully the old station master here and often snatched packages belonging to other ghosts."
A child ghost next to the female ghost added, "I can testify that the old station master was killed by them!"
"That's right, Wang Cheng often snatched my packages. Even the fruit phone my son burned for me was snatched by him."
"Me too, the new clothes I bought were snatched by him as well."
"My packages were snatched too..."
In an instant, it turned into a victim complaint meeting.
They could see that this new station master was a formidable character, and since she was related to the old station master, she certainly wouldn't let Wang Cheng off the hook.
If this new station master dealt with Wang Cheng, their lives would be much easier.
"Quiet!"
Yang Fan gave a cold shout, and the courtyard instantly fell silent again.
Her gaze shifted to the evil ghost Wang Cheng they had mentioned. With just one look, she could see the thick, bloody baleful aura on him.
Only ghosts who had killed innocent people would have such an aura.
The baleful aura on the other small ghosts identified by the female ghost also showed that they hadn't done few evil deeds.
Regardless of whether the death of her original body's uncle had anything to do with that evil ghost, she wouldn't let these ghosts who had committed so many evils go.
Yang Fan used her other free hand to draw another golden talisman in the air.
She could actually draw talismans in the air with both hands—what kind of background did this new station master have!
The group of ghosts shivered, looking at Yang Fan with faces full of terror.
She was even more powerful than those so-called national-treasure-level masters they had seen!
Although the evil ghost Wang Cheng feared Yang Fan's strength, he remained unafraid.
Because he knew that the station master of the courier station could not harm ghosts, and they, as ghosts, could not harm the station master.
Otherwise, they would be punished by the enforcers of the underworld.
He had only scared the previous station master a little; who knew the other party was so fragile that he died of fright just like that.
That couldn't be blamed on him.
But since this new station master didn't look like someone to be trifled with, it seemed he shouldn't offend her casually for now.
To get out of this predicament, Wang Cheng opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but the next moment he heard a majestic voice.
"Bind!"
The evil ghost Wang Cheng and his underlings were instantly caught together in a golden net.
The large net gradually tightened and compressed, and Wang Cheng and his underlings inside were squeezed and deformed.
Feeling the danger, the small ghosts begged for mercy one after another.
"Master, please let us go, we were forced into this!"
"We never harmed anyone, it was all Wang Cheng and the others forcing us!"
"Master, please spare us..."
Useless trash!
Wang Cheng cursed internally. He didn't believe Yang Fan would actually dare to kill them.
"You can't just kill us. If you kill us, you won't have a good ending either."
Wang Cheng had been squeezed into a round ball, and his blue-gray eyes looked at Yang Fan sinisterly, threatening her.
"If a station master kills casually..."
"So much nonsense, you're noisy."
Yang Fan looked expressionlessly at the evil ghosts trapped in the net. She waved the Heaven Thunder Talisman in her hand, covering the net.
"Ah!"
The heavenly thunder struck down, a dazzling white light flashed, and the evil ghosts in the net were instantly reduced to ashes, vanishing into thin air with no possibility of reincarnation.
The courtyard returned to silence once again.
The other ghosts:...Just, just like that, they're gone??
The evil ghosts who had oppressed them for so long were just gone like that??
The ghosts stared blankly at the spot where the evil ghosts had disappeared, unable to recover for a long time.
Yang Fan clapped her hands, brushed the non-existent dust off her clothes, and waved her hand to put away the Soul-Suppressing Talisman.
"Which one of you will tell me...???"
Where were the ghosts?
Where were all the ghosts that had filled the courtyard? Why had they all disappeared?
The moment the Soul-Suppressing Talisman was canceled, the ghosts who were afraid of being eliminated by Yang Fan vanished instantly.
Only the female ghost who was slow to react and didn't run away, and the child ghost beside her who hadn't run, remained.
The female ghost:...
She secretly turned around, wanting to run, but Yang Fan's cold voice came from behind her.
"If you dare to run..."
"!!!" The female ghost mechanically turned her body back, flashing a fawning smile at Yang Fan.
"Master, I wasn't thinking of running."
Even if she had that thought, she couldn't admit it now.
Wuwuwuwu... too scary...
Compared to her fear, the child ghost beside her wasn't as afraid of Yang Fan.
He believed that Yang Fan, who had killed those evil ghosts, must not be a bad person.
"Um... could you help me get my package?" the child ghost tentatively pleaded.
Yang Fan looked at his pure soul body and nodded under his expectant gaze.
"But you have to tell me about the situation in this village first."
"Deal!"
