Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 56

Ch56 - A Recurring Dream
The night was as cool as water. Lu Xu grasped the Yin amulet and left Lan Gaojie’s building before arriving by the cemetery on West Street.

The wind blew in from all directions, brushing past his face into the darkness beyond.

The Yin amulet in his pocket vibrated, the soul within it desperately trying to run. But Lu Xu had long since confined it; it was impossible to escape.

Evil spirits relied on limitlessly amplifying humankind’s greed in exchange for their lifespans as the source for their nourishment. But in Lu Xu’s eyes, this kind of seduction was mere child’s play. In order to prevent anyone else from coming into contact with this Yin amulet, Lu Xu threw it aside at the cemetery, and lit up a fire between his fingers.

The Yin amulet immediately understood his intentions and couldn’t resist letting out a plaintive wail, trying to sway Lu Xu’s thoughts.

“Heh.” Lu Xu smiled sardonically and lit it on fire.

The Yin amulet had already swallowed several lives. It only saw the ability to cause havoc in the mortal realm in front of it; how could it have known it would land in Lu Xu’s hands? It was beset with sin, and in a few moments, was consumed by the flames.

Lu Xu didn’t have any intention of looking at it any longer. He turned around and was about to leave when he saw Peng Hanfei standing behind him with a cold expression.

The opposing party’s clothes were a little messy and they fluttered about from the wind. He held the Southwest Grim Reaper Bureau’s custom scythe in his hands and spoke forcefully as he watched Lu Xu. “Was Lan Gaojie sent off by you?”

Lu Xu nodded without any doubts. “Yes.”

“He died in our southwest bureau’s district.”

Lu Xu raised his brows, his expression relaxed as he looked at him. “So?”

“You’re a grim reaper from the eastern district, why cross the border to enforce the law. Tonight’s Lan Gaojie and also Lai Chengshan from before. Weren’t they both our southwest bureau’s orders?”

The more Peng Hanfei spoke, the darker his face became. He only felt that Lu Xu’s actions had crossed the line.

When Lu Xu had sent away Lai Chengshan before, the Department Head had even made them reflect and said that if they hadn’t failed in their work and discovered the stowaway beforehand, then Lu Xu wouldn’t have done anything.

Afterwards, the Head had even said to avoid having any conflict with Lu Xu.

“Anyways he won’t be in our area for too long before leaving. Just endure it for now.”

The words had been said, but Peng Hanfei couldn’t endure it after thinking about it.

Their division’s performance had always been oppressed by the eastern division. Now that Lu Xu had run over to their own district to steal their jobs, this was a little too much.

Lu Xu saw that Peng Hanfei’s expression was worsening, and shrugged his shoulders as he said, “Lai Chengshan was a stowaway. There’s no problem with me arresting him after discovering it. The Lan Gaojie that came after was using human life. You guys weren’t controlling the situation so of course I had to mark it.”

They were both from the same country; there were no inherent differences in their natures.

It was only that in order to manage things easily, the grim reaper bureau had split into several grim reaper divisions in order to get things done. This was used to coordinate district affairs.
