Chapter 586: Should I Take a Gamble?
Chapter 586: Should I Take a Gamble?
The female ghost's previous warning to Yang Haoran had made him sense some underlying tone, and from the current situation, it seemed that the female ghost's words were not just meant to scare him, but she might really know some secrets. That's why he asked this question now.
Although he possessed the Ghost Eye, it could only see the ghost's past life, not its experiences after death. The recent changes in Yunchuan City had occurred recently, and the female ghost had died a long time ago, so it was impossible to obtain the desired information through the Ghost Eye, as they were in completely different time periods.
When the female ghost heard Yang Haoran's words, she suddenly stopped struggling, turned her head directly to the back, and looked at Yang Haoran.
"If I tell you, will you let me go?"
The female ghost knew that her question was very foolish, as Yang Haoran was an Underworld Envoy, and she was a malevolent spirit - they were like fire and water, incompatible. Now that she had fallen into Yang Haoran's hands, it was unlikely that he would let her go.
Although she was clear about this in her heart, her strong desire to survive still made her ask such a foolish question.
The female ghost's response made Yang Haoran's heart happy, as it was not hard to hear that there was indeed some hidden information.
He didn't ignore the female ghost's question, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on the situation. I'm a practical person, and if the information you provide is really valuable to me, I might not rule out the possibility of letting you go. But if the information you provide is worthless, then I can only apologize to you."
The female ghost didn't believe Yang Haoran's words, thinking that no matter what information she provided, she would likely die in the end. Yang Haoran's words were just meant to extract useful information from her.
Seeing the female ghost's hesitant expression, Yang Haoran knew what she was worried about. He kept a smile on his face and said, "I'm a person who keeps promises, so you can try to believe me once. Who knows, there might be unexpected surprises later. Moreover, in your current situation, do you think you have a choice?""Okay, you just need to make a poisonous oath, and I'll believe you!" the female ghost said in a low voice.
When Yang Haoran heard this, he revealed a happy smile and said, "Beauty, I hope you can see the situation clearly and understand your current circumstances. You're in no position to negotiate with me right now."
The female ghost remained silent, her face looking very bad.
Yang Haoran saw her expression and continued to smile, saying, "Moreover, if making a poisonous oath really worked, there would probably be few people left in the New Genesis World today. I didn't expect you to still believe in it, you're really romantic."
Seeing that the female ghost still didn't speak, Yang Haoran continued to persuade her, saying, "I think you'd better take a gamble, bet on me. The reason is simple - if you don't gamble, you'll definitely die, and you don't need to have any illusions about it. If you gamble, you might still die, but what if you win? You might not only avoid death but also gain some benefits. Isn't that the logic?"
The female ghost was clearly moved by Yang Haoran's words, but she still didn't make a decision.
The reason for her hesitation was that if she didn't speak, Yang Haoran wouldn't get the information and might not harm her. But once she spoke, she would lose all value in Yang Haoran's eyes, and her death would be even more certain.
"Beauty, don't hesitate anymore. If you hesitate again, I might lose interest in this matter. Once I lose interest, you won't have any capital to gamble with, even if you want to. So, take advantage of my current patience and make a decision. Opportunities are in front of you, and if you don't cherish them, it'll be hard to get them back. My patience is limited, and I might not be able to wait for you for long."
The female ghost, who was already somewhat moved, changed her expression when she heard this. Yang Haoran's words about limited patience made her a bit anxious.
If Yang Haoran had really lost interest in this matter, then the chips she considered would no longer be chips, and would become worthless. What awaited her was a dispersal of her soul!
"Okay, I'll tell you, but I hope you won't deceive me!"
The female ghost's mental defenses were finally broken by Yang Haoran, and she compromised in the face of dispersal of her soul. Although the hope was slim, she still decided to give it a try, just as Yang Haoran had said, to take a gamble!
The female ghost's decision made Yang Haoran's smile more intense, but he didn't feel surprised at all, as if he had expected the outcome to be like this.
"Heh heh, congratulations on making a correct decision. As for whether you can continue to survive, it depends on whether the information you provide is worth the price," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"This information is absolutely useful to you!" The female ghost said with confidence.
Although she said so, the female ghost actually had no bottom line, and was very anxious. It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in the information she knew, but rather that she didn't have confidence in Yang Haoran, the Underworld Envoy.
The reason was simple: no matter how valuable the information she provided was, it was all up to Yang Haoran to decide. Even if her information was extremely valuable, Yang Haoran could still say it was worthless, and then what could she do?
It was because of this consideration that she was anxious and felt very insecure.
"Heh heh, go on, I hope your next words will bring me a surprise," Yang Haoran said with a smile, urging her on.
The arrow was on the bowstring, and couldn't be withdrawn. The female ghost knew she had no choice, so she organized her words and spoke again.
"The Burial Master of Yunchuan City is still alive."
Among the information the female ghost knew, she chose to say this first because she thought it would have the greatest impact on Yang Haoran. After all, Yang Haoran was also a Burial Master, and he had come to Yunchuan City to support, definitely to solve the troubles faced by Yunchuan City's Yin Division. If he knew the Burial Master of Yunchuan City was still alive, he would surely be very happy and surprised.
However, she didn't know that Yang Haoran's main purpose in coming to Yunchuan City was not to solve the troubles of Yunchuan City's Yin Division, but to gain more benefits. As for whether the Burial Master of Yunchuan City was dead or alive, he didn't care at all.
Moreover, Yang Haoran had already known that the Burial Master of Yunchuan City was still alive before coming to Yunchuan City, thanks to Guardian Luo Yao.
However, when Yang Haoran heard the female ghost's words, his face still showed a surprised expression for the first time. He wasn't surprised that the Burial Master of Yunchuan City was still alive, but rather that the female ghost knew this and spoke with such certainty.
Seeing Yang Haoran's surprised expression, the female ghost couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, and suddenly felt that her decision to say this first was correct.
"How can you be sure that the Burial Master of Yunchuan City is still alive?" Yang Haoran asked, his face still showing surprise.
"I was one of the participants in the operation to capture the Burial Master of Yunchuan City that day. When we successfully captured the Burial Master, one of the spirit masters leading the team said a sentence, which allowed me to confirm that the Burial Master of Yunchuan City was still alive," the female ghost said.
"What did he say?" Yang Haoran asked.
"I can't break through to the great spirit master realm earlier, and it all depends on you in the future." This sentence was spoken casually by the spirit master, but the female ghost heard it clearly and remembered it in her heart.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Haoran's smile faded, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his expression becoming more serious.
If one carefully savored the female ghost's words, they would discover that they contained a certain amount of information.
What did the spirit master's casual remark mean back then? The female ghost must have understood, or she wouldn't have dared to confirm that the Burial Master of Yunchuan City was still alive.
And Yang Haoran, too, understood.
