3 o'clock in the morning represents what? It represents those who get up at night due to kidney deficiency, it represents young people who are still drunk from last night, it represents those fierce and resentful ghosts, and also represents those ownerless lost souls.

  Xie Bizheng and Fan Wujui, these two old ancestors walked out of the store door, and Lao Yi and I followed them. After all, now we both know that our lives are temporarily safe, and encountering these two ancestors is purely a coincidence.

  It's like when you're drowsy and yawn, but instead of opening your mouth, a green bean fly flies in. It's really disgusting.

  I never thought that having a midnight snack with Lao Yi could be so deadly. After we left, I saw those two Uncles of Doom walking westward. That Xie Bi'an turned around and waved at me and Lao Yi, indicating for us to follow him.

  To follow or not to follow? You know that I and Lao Yi really don't want to follow, isn't this a waste of words? The unpredictable nature of life and death makes you follow it, do you dare? What if it takes you away?

  But if we don't keep up, it's not giving these two gentlemen face. You know, not giving them face is like using their faces as shoe insoles. These two living ancestors are also notorious for being moody, and the outcome for me and Old Yi will undoubtedly be a crushing defeat.

  Damn it, I nodded at Lao Yi and followed him. Following him might not necessarily mean death, but not following him would certainly mean death. Let's follow him first and see what happens before deciding anything!

  So I and Lao Yi ran after them in pursuit.

  It's quite strange to say, those two floating slowly, just like taking a stroll after dinner, but I and Lao Yi couldn't catch up no matter how hard we ran, could only try our best not to fall behind.

  It was probably about five minutes, and I saw the two ghosts in front of us stopping at a bank. The white ghost, Xie Bi'an, turned his head towards me and Lao Yi with an insincere smile, which gave me and Lao Yi goosebumps.

  I don't know what's wrong, after running this short distance, both I and Lao Yi are exhausted, sweating profusely, we ran to their faces panting, as soon as we stopped, I asked Xie Bizheng: "I said... Lord Wuchang, what is it that you want to instruct us about? Why did you come to the front of the bank?"

  Xie Bi'an spoke with a straight tongue, his face smiling but not really smiling, it was hard to tell if he was actually smiling or not: "Young one, where did you get so many complaints? I just wanted to see how much these two young ones were worth, didn't expect them to be so useless. With your abilities, how can you help me find that escaped yin soul?"

  Damn it, I get it. So they're testing my and Lao Yi's abilities? I have endless contempt for this old good-for-nothing in my heart. Do you need to run to test your strength? If that's the case, then Liu Xiang isn't China's most awesome yin-yang master anymore?

  But this is just a complaint in my heart, I don't have the guts to say it out loud, but it's really embarrassing like this. My skills and Lao Yi's are not that great, but you don't have to squeeze us so hard, do you?

  Our generation has a common problem, which is that we all have a strong desire in our hearts and are somewhat stubborn, unwilling to accept reality. But what he said was also quite right, it really hit the sore spot for me and Lao Yi, leaving us speechless.

  Xie Bi'an saw that I and Lao Yi both looked like bitter melons, so he smiled again and said to us in a tone as if an elder was scolding younger ones: "It's really one generation not being better than the other. It's not just you two who eat yin-yang rice, even ordinary people are like this. Just like that little girl from earlier, she's only so young, yet she's been smoking for five years. If she doesn't die, who will?"

  I finally understand the cause of death of that stocking woman earlier, it turns out that she was the one who brought it upon herself, ruining her own life. Alas, why did Old Xie tell me about this? Although I smoke, I don't smoke opium, and besides... and besides, she and I aren't even from the same generation.

  At this time, Fan Wujiu patted Xie Bizhen and shouted: "You must die!!"

  I and Lao Yi were startled again. Damn it! Although I already knew that Old Fan would only say this one sentence, but why did it still feel so scary?

  Xie Bi'an nodded after Fan Wujiu finished speaking, then turned his head and sneered at us: "Alright, alright, I see that you two are also incompetent in finding the yin soul by yourselves. Although your family's old master is benevolent? Today, since we've met, I'll show you a clear way."

  As soon as I heard this, both Lao Yi and I were extremely surprised. How could this greedy, evil, and unreasonable Bai Wuchang suddenly change his ways today? Although I was happy in my heart, I was also very worried. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Old Xie said he wanted to help us today, but based on what Jiu Shu told me and my own observations, these two old rascals are absolutely not that simple. Does he have even more unreasonable demands waiting for us?

  But after he said that, Old Yi, who had been silent all along, asked in surprise: "You... Ah no, you really are willing to help us two?"

  When Yi Xing heard this, Fan Wu suddenly became furious and shouted loudly: "You must die!!!"

  "My goodness!! You scared me to death, and Old Yi and I were trembling with fear again. Old Yi didn't dare speak anymore. Then Xie Bi'an sneered at us and said: 'Did you hear that? My brother is not happy, don't interrupt, listen to me finish.'"

  I and Lao Yi now do not dare to speak another word, also can't control what it wants to say, afraid that the one like Fan Wei, Fan Wu Jiu will get angry again and take our lives.

  Xie Bi'an was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, turned his head and looked at the bank's gate. Then he said to me and Lao Yi: "You two young people are not very lucky, your old master has something to attend to downstairs now, so I won't be able to tell you too much. You'll see for yourselves later. Oh, don't forget to burn those four girls, or else your lives will be in danger!"

  After finishing speaking, he walked alone to the front of the bank's gate, stamped his feet twice, and then disappeared.

  That Fan glared at me and Lao Yi with a cruel gaze, then said to us: "You must die!"

  After finishing speaking, he also floated to the front of the bank and stomped his feet twice, and similarly disappeared.

  The night had returned to calm, at half past three in the morning, the streetlights on both sides of the road had not yet gone out, and Old Yi and I stood in front of a bank, thinking about what had just happened, staring blankly at each other.

  It wasn't until later that I found out that, since ancient times, the yin messengers have been in the habit of opening up their pathways to the underworld in places like money houses. This is because, although currency is an extremely yang object, it is also a condensation of human resentment. Which person hasn't ever worried about money? Therefore, places with a lot of money are often where disputes arise, and these yin messengers took advantage of this point, using the power of copper to directly open up the roads leading to the underworld, without having to go through the yin market as an intermediate stop.

  I and Lao Yi at that time still hadn't reacted, as if we were scared by Fan Wu's last cry. Since there was no translation from Bai Wuchang or Xie Bi'an, I didn't know what his last sentence "must die" meant. Was it a way of saying goodbye? Or did it mean you two are really handsome? Or did it mean that the two of us must really die?

  I shook my head with a wry smile, damn it, ability really does decide everything. If what they said in the TV series was true, I wouldn't believe it - these two old ghosts are so strong, yet back then they were actually beaten by Master Big Brother and became like that grandma. It's clear that Master Big Brother is incredibly powerful.

  When I was daydreaming, Old Yi suddenly pushed my shoulder and said to me in surprise: "Old Cui! Look down at the ground!!"

  As he said that, I lowered my head to look and a gust of wind blew by. On the cement ground in front of us, several words slowly appeared as if they were carved out with a knife.

  I took a closer look and these few words were actually: Harbin XX Normal College.

  Harbin XX Normal College? The name of the school flashed through my mind quickly, isn't that a rumored paradise for picking up girls? It's said that the ratio of boys to girls in this school is 2:5, obviously a place where yin dominates yang. Moreover, this university produces many beautiful women, it's said that on every twenty steps you take on campus, you can see a beauty, and coincidentally, Liu Yudi also studied at this school.

  What does Xie Bi'an mean? Is it asking me and Lao Yi to go to that university to look for clues? Or is the female ghost who ran away hiding in that school?

  Damn it, this whole thing is a puzzle, and it's got me and Lao Yi completely stumped. But since he gave us a hint and didn't make any more unreasonable demands, it's better than nothing. At least it's better than me and Lao Yi running around like headless flies.

  Another gust of wind blew by, and those words disappeared, restoring the road surface to its flat state.

  After the words on the ground disappeared, Old Yi asked me: "Old Cui, do you think Xie Bizhen really wanted to help us with this sentence, or was he intentionally playing a trick on us?"

  I shook my head and said to him, "I don't know. They say that the old couple's temper is unpredictable, who knows what's going on? But since we have this lead now, we can't go back, let's go take a look tomorrow after work. I just so happen to have a sister studying there."

  Lao Yi looked at me with some surprise and said, "When did you have a sister? It doesn't seem like it. I heard that all the girls studying there are beauties. You're so lucky!"

  Damn it, Yixinxing, can't you say something nice for once? I thought to myself, although I'm a loner, at least let me have some decent opposite-sex friends!

  To be honest, I really didn't want to bother him, this natural fool, so I said to him: "What are you thinking about? I'm talking about the descendant of Mr. Liu who saved our Cui family's life in the past, and now she's studying at that school. Tomorrow we'll go find her."

  Lao Yi suddenly enlightened, nodded and said to me: "You said that our lives are quite eventful, one thing has just ended, another thing comes out immediately, it's really not calm."

  I smiled wryly and nodded, what else could I do? Now it's a matter of fighting for my own life. In my heart, I secretly made up my mind that if I can find that escaped female ghost this time, I'll never live in Harbin again, to hell with whatever Mr. Yin Yang, I'm too tired. I just want to live an ordinary person's life.

  I want to go back to Heilongjiang.

  So I sighed and said to Lao Yi: "Let's go back to my place first, it'll be dawn soon, hurry back and we can still sleep for a few hours."

  Lao Yi nodded, and then we started standing on the roadside at midnight to wait for a taxi. The night wind was quite cold, I lit a cigarette, looked up at the Harbin night sky that could never see stars, my heart was full of confusion about the future, I didn't know what would happen this time in Liu Yudi's school, and whether it was good or bad luck.
