A Hundred Ghosts Abroad In Daylight (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A familiar figure appeared in Ji Fengyan’s line of sight.

A crazy and miserable looking woman held up a ruptured stomach. In her arms were also the barely visible shadows of two infant ghosts.

Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes. She looked up at those dumbfounded citizens. “Now, they are right before you. Why don’t you ask them how did they die?”

The citizens were all in a daze. They couldn’t believe they were seeing people who had already passed on.

The families of the victims—those who had been venting all their hatred on the Wolf Smoke Regiment—were already sobbing their eyes out. With trembling voices, they asked their loved ones just how they died.

Those ghosts floated above the ground and looked at their families with agonized expressions. Bitterness twisted their features.

[It was demons.]

[Demons.]

[They attacked me. They tore apart my flesh and dug out my organs...]

[Pain... so much pain...]

The surreal voices of those shadowy figures brought along the unbelievable truth.

Demons...

The ones who caused all these had actually been demons...

How could that be!

How could there be demons in Ping City?

The citizens had fallen into a major shock. If not for the realistic faces of their loved ones right before them, they would have thought this was all just a dream.

The demons had killed all those innocent people and destroyed all incriminating evidence, making everybody pin the blame on the Wolf Smoke Regiment.

The truth was revealed before everyone, but it was an unbelievable truth.

Secretly spying on the side, Song Yuan stared incredulously at the scene before him. He couldn’t believe that Ji Fengyan actually had the ability to summon the souls of the dead.

“How could it be...” The man standing beside Song Yuan frowned. The last traces of a smile had also disappeared from his face.

Who could have imagined that Ji Fengyan would use such a method to reveal the truth? They had thought the dead would no longer be able to speak for themselves. The situation had turned dire now.

“Impossible. Terminators shouldn’t have such an ability. Only necromancers have the power to summon souls... and the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon do not have such sorcerers.” The man was completely stunned.

Meanwhile, Song Yuan was in hysterics.

“This is how you handle things? Even if you had to kill someone, why did you have to reveal your demon identity!” Song Yuan scolded. The man had the power to take on the human form. If he had been more careful and took on the form of someone from the Wolf Smoke Regiment—their plan wouldn’t have been blown even if Ji Fengyan had summoned the dead.

“Who could have known she would actually do something like that!” the man said huffily.

Who could have thought there would be a need to cover their tracks so meticulously? If it had been anyone else, they would never have been able to clear their own names. It was only because of this Ji Fengyan that their scheme was now unraveling.

“What should we do? The citizens will never suspect Ji Fengyan and company now.” Song Yuan was panicking. He had been so sure that Ji Fengyan could never escape the citizens’ censure. He had even prearranged for some guards and demons to standby—just waiting for her to strike out at the people so that they could immediately intervene and kill her.
