193: Cases of unmarried women going missing

She subconsciously tried to dodge the itchiness that made her face flush, so she turned her body and burrowed into Ling Qi's embrace like a well-behaved kitten.

Shang Wan Ning didn't stop there; she playfully opened her small mouth and gently bit Ling Qi's earlobe.

She murmured coquettishly, "You make it sound quite reasonable!" Her tone was both playful and carried a hint of seduction toward the Secretary-General.

Fine beads of sweat had already seeped out on Ling Qi's forehead.

These crystal-clear sweat droplets were like morning dew on lily petals, emitting a faint floral fragrance.

Yet she didn't seem to notice her own abnormality, responding with a confident look, "Of course, your Subordinate is a professional."

As she spoke, her arms unconsciously tightened, pulling the person in her arms even closer.

Shang Wan Ning watched Ling Qi's slightly furrowed brow with obsession, suddenly understanding the joy of being loved... Desire is like a bursting flood, always surging out at the moment of deepest emotion; thus, even the most refined and intelligent person can become as savage as a beast when kissing a lover.

A cold and distant person can become as fierce as a tiger when devouring their lover, where even the pleasure is seared deep like a branding iron, leaving the other person's mark.

(Censored scene - use your imagination~)

...C Province, X City, Baiyun Avenue

At night, Star was dressed in women's clothing—a shirt on top and a hip-hugging skirt paired with black silk stockings, looking like a delicate flower blooming in the dark night.

Recently, over a dozen cases of missing unmarried women had occurred in X City. After the reports were filed, the X City branch of the Special Affairs Bureau and the Ghost Messengers were dispatched, but they had failed to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, You Wu decided to let Star act as bait to investigate what was secretly preying on these unmarried women.

Whether he could successfully lure them out remained unknown, but they couldn't just sit and wait; they had to try and draw the snake out of its hole.

Star swayed his slender waist like a willow branch fluttering in the wind, looking quite pitiable and moving on this cold night.

There were few pedestrians on the street, as the order after the Spiritual Energy Revival had only just stabilized. Many people preferred to curl up at home now, and very few came out to shop.

Even if a few were occasionally spotted, they were in a hurry, like birds rushing back to their nests.

Star wandered alone under the streetlights, intentionally heading toward secluded alleys. The further he went, the fewer people there were... Sure enough, it wasn't long before Star keenly caught a strange sensation.

A sharp gaze was secretly peeping at him from the shadows—a pair of eyes filled with greed, like a beast hidden in the depths of the night, crouching in a dark corner with predatory intent.

It was quietly waiting for the best moment to launch a sudden attack.

"Could this be the legendary pervert?" The thought flashed through Star's mind involuntarily.

"Wahhh, why do I have to play the woman every time!"

"Is it because boys are safer???"

"But in today's society, even ghosts aren't picky about gender!"

While muttering to himself, he kept his head slightly lowered, walking forward slowly as if he didn't have a care in the world.

But only he knew that he was actually on full alert. At the slightest sign of trouble or if someone dared to approach, he could quickly drop to the ground and wait for Manager You Wu to strike and neutralize the enemy.

Thus, Star walked forward step by step as time ticked away. The feeling of being watched didn't disappear; instead, it grew stronger.

He could clearly feel that the peeping gaze seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

Despite this, Star continued to feign complete ignorance, not even turning his head once.

The gaze approached bit by bit, closer and closer... At a certain moment, he suddenly felt a chill rise from his spine, and the hair all over his body stood up.

It was as if an extremely terrifying existence had instantly teleported to his side.

And in the next second, it felt as though he was about to be completely devoured.

"Hmm?"

"It's... It's you!!!"

You Wu widened his eyes, staring fixedly at that all-too-familiar Ghost Gate Pass alt account, an indescribable anger surging in his mind.

He never imagined that the missing unmarried women case he had been painstakingly investigating for so long would actually be related to the Ghost Gate Pass!

At this moment, he felt his entire worldview as a ghost was about to collapse.

Over these past few days, in order to find the truth, he had flipped through countless ancient texts and spent a vast amount of energy and time.

He had even asked his good friend Star to risk himself as bait. But now, all his efforts seemed to have become a joke.

"Dammit! What on earth is going on?"

You Wu cursed out loud in anger, "F*ck, this is such a setup!!!"

Fury burned in his mind, and he decided he must give this reckless Ghost Gate Pass a good lesson.

Not only that, after returning to the Netherworld, he would immediately go and complain to Her Majesty.

You Wu had already thought of a perfect title: 'Shocking! Ghost Gate Pass Opens an Alt Account to Wildly Flirt with Unmarried Ladies'.

He believed that as soon as this news spread, even the majestic Eighteen Ghost Kings of the Ghost Gate Pass would likely be severely punished by Her Majesty, beaten black and blue until they cried for their parents.

Thinking of this, You Wu no longer hesitated. With a flash of his body, he leaped into the Ghost Gate Pass.

He planned to rescue those trapped unmarried women first. Fortunately, the passage of the Ghost Gate Pass had a peculiar attribute—the internal flow of time was different from the outside world, with a staggering ratio of 1:10.

That is to say, after spending one day in the passage, ten full days would have passed in the outside world.

This way, even if those unmarried women were trapped here for a while, they shouldn't lose their lives due to hunger.

As You Wu continued to fall, the surrounding environment became increasingly unfamiliar.

At first, he could remain calm, but as time ticked by, that sense of unease grew stronger.

He just kept falling like that, as if there would never be an end.

He didn't know exactly how much time had passed when You Wu suddenly felt his feet touch solid ground.

He let out a long sigh of relief, "Finally landed."

But when he looked up to survey his surroundings, he found that the scenery before him was completely beyond his expectations.

This was not the Netherworld he was familiar with at all, but an unknown land filled with eerie Yin energy.

You Wu slowly rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself, "It couldn't be that after not being back for just half a month, home has become completely unrecognizable!"

He looked around with suspicion and couldn't help but frown. "Could Her Majesty's aesthetic taste have really downgraded to such an extent?"
