Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 342: Chapter 342 Heavenly Master 49

At this moment, everyone remembered what the idiot had kept saying before, ”Don’t go over there! It’s very dangerous, you will die!” Could it be that the idiot was stopping them to save them?! Everyone fell silent, no one spoke! No one knew what to say!

Later, a few people carried the idiot’s corpse, carefully dropped it under the collapsed road, and then rode their motorcycles back. After returning, everyone tacitly got rid of their motorcycles and then stopped contacting each other.

As for others, Chen Liguo didn’t know, but he seemed to have changed overnight, from a problematic teenager to a good student and good youth, studying hard, helping others as much as he could.

Regarding Chen Liguo’s change, many said that he had grown up, opened up and knew to study well. Only Chen Liguo himself knew why he had become like this!

And Chen Liguo and the others didn’t know, after they left, the idiot’s corpse was buried under the rocks from a second collapse, remaining undiscovered.

The idiot’s mother, who had depended on him for survival, walked day by day on the road to find her son. In just two short years, her hair turned completely white, aging like an old woman.

On a rainy day, hearing news that might lead to her son, the idiot’s mother rushed out and accidentally fell from the mountain road, dying from the fall!

After death, the idiot’s mother finally saw her son’s spirit, long dead yet worried and never leaving her, always accompanying her!

Upon seeing all the past through her son’s memories, the idiot’s mother was overwhelmed with intense resentment! She instantly transformed into a fierce ghost! She wanted revenge! She wanted those who caused her son’s death to pay with their lives!

Afterward, the ghostly old woman, dragging her son’s ghost, began to seek revenge on those who had run over her son one by one. Some of those people are now well-behaved, some still idle, but none have repented for the crimes they committed!

Those who did not repent, the ghostly old woman retaliated against mercilessly with the cruelest methods. As for the repentant Chen Liguo, her feelings were complicated, the hatred was equally intense, but within the hatred, there was something different.

She avenged these people, and regardless of what changes came from this killing event, none of them felt regret nor took any real action.

Only Chen Liguo regretted and changed, doing good deeds, doing volunteer work, helping bullied people, caring for children with mental issues. The old woman didn’t know if it was transference, trying to make amends on the idiot’s child, but he eventually repented and changed for his mistakes.

But the old woman still could not forgive him, could not forgive the main culprit who led to her son’s death, so she decided to seek revenge. Who knew that Chen Liguo’s parents would hire a Heavenly Master.

The powerful mana fluctuations from Shuangshuang frightened her, even though she was allowed by the Underworld, by rules Heavenly Masters should not interfere, but there’s no guarantee a Heavenly Master won’t ignore the rules for money, after all, Heavenly Masters are human, bound by human laws.

If a Heavenly Master didn’t go too far, like dispersing their souls, and merely skirted the rules to prevent them from seeking revenge while their enemies were alive, then the Underworld’s laws wouldn’t be able to restrict a living Heavenly Master.

The ghostly old woman never expected Shuangshuang to abide by the rules and not take on the matter. Later, she saw Chen Liguo’s parents pleading with Shuangshuang, and, fearing Shuangshuang might be moved, she revealed herself and let Shuangshuang and Chen Liguo’s parents understand the underlying story.

Even after knowing the truth, Chen’s mom and dad had said they would accept it if their son truly did something wrong. But when they learned their son not only did wrong but was the chief culprit, the couple couldn’t help but look at Shuangshuang with pleading eyes, hoping she would help and not let their son be claimed by the fierce ghost’s revenge.

Shuangshuang maintained a cold face; she would absolutely not intervene. So what if Chen Liguo repented! No matter how he repented now, those he harmed could never come back to life, and the hurt he caused could never be undone.

If he realized his mistakes and repented, he should bear the responsibility for his wrongdoings. Otherwise, the so-called repentance is just a facade, a way to comfort his guilty conscience, escaping the responsibility he should bear.

The ghostly old woman looked at Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, saying hoarsely, ”You both don’t need to look at Lord Heavenly Master. It’s not impossible for me to spare your son, but you must promise me one thing, let your son turn himself in. As long as Chen Liguo turns himself in, I will spare him!”

Of course, when the old woman said this, it didn’t really mean she would just let Chen Liguo go. Once dead, a guilty spirit cannot reincarnate directly and must go to the Underworld to be judged. The Underworld certainly doesn’t have a so-called juvenile protection law for spirits; no matter how old, killing is a major crime unless in special circumstances, like the other party deserved to die. Otherwise, not only must he pay with his life but may also be imprisoned for hundreds to thousands of years before reincarnation.

In Chen Liguo’s case, he was a minor when he killed someone, so he likely wouldn’t be sentenced to death, which aligns with the mortal world’s laws. But in the Underworld, it’s akin to no punishment. By the time the soul faces trial, enduring thousands of years of torturous punishment in the mountains of knives and seas of fire—he would suffer plenty. Now letting go is merely foregoing personal revenge, only giving the other a reprieve for several decades at most.

Naturally, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen were still unwilling. Their son wouldn’t die but would have to go to prison for ten to twenty years. Most importantly, he would carry the stigma of a murderer for the rest of his life, significantly affecting his future! Moreover, their son was currently a student at a prestigious university with limitless potential. Entering prison and becoming a murderer would ruin his life!

Though dissatisfied, seeing Shuangshuang clearly intending to stand aside, the couple also feared Shuangshuang leaving might prompt the ghostly old woman to regret and claim their precious son’s life, so they gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.

And to show sincerity, the couple immediately went upstairs to persuade Chen Liguo to turn himself in. Unexpectedly, Chen Liguo had no resistance and willingly came out of the room, agreeing to go to the police station to surrender.

With the matter resolved, the ghostly old woman and her now not-silly son went to the Underworld to await reincarnation. In reality, the reason the old woman’s son was silly was because he was born with a Heavenly Eye, capable of seeing people’s fate and death. With such a heaven-defying eye, naturally, the Divine Acupoint would be blocked during reincarnation, trading off something extraordinary, a kind of fairness.

When leaving, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen gave Shuangshuang twenty thousand yuan, but Shuangshuang didn’t take it. She had come this time without intervening, so she certainly couldn’t accept the money.
