Yama Rising

Chapter 547: Saint Virtue High School (3)

“AHHHHHH--!!!” Following that, Songchae screamed at the top of her voice and frantically pushed the table away, “A ghost! A ghost!! There’s a ghost!!”

Just then, the windows to the classroom abruptly slammed shut. Songchae rushed straight to the door, desperately hammering on it as she cried at the top of her voice, “Open up… open the door! Ahhhhhhh! I don’t want to die! Help me! HELP!!!”

“My god…” “Dear heavens… is… is it really a ghost?” “Ahh shit…. AHHH SHIT!!” “ARRGGHHH--!!!”

Her entire body was floating in the air. She clung to the window like a giant spider. Her tongue lashed about wildly outside her mouth as though it were a two-meter long venomous viper, and her bloodshot eyes darted about various parts of the classroom, staring at them menacingly as though she were looking at her prey.

Her hoarse voice sounded like a cat’s claws on a chalkboard. At once, the curtains of the classroom fluttered wildly.

Seongho’s dismembered body had been sewn right to the top of the curtains, with the blood dripping from each piece dyeing the curtain scarlet red. Yet, for some strange reason, not a single person had noticed this earlier!

A split second later… “AHHH!!!” “Ghost!!” “Help! Help!!!” Daddy! Please save me!”

Crack! There was the macabre sound of snapping bones. At once, the students hung limply from the ceiling by the hair that bound them.

Pshk… At once, a river of blood began to pour out onto the ground, filling the entire classroom with a nauseating stench.

“You’ve gone nuts.” Just then, there was a knocking sound on the window. The silhouette of a young man showed up right outside. He shook his head with disapprobation, “I was still contemplating whether I should spare your life. Do you think you deserve it?”

Crash! The glass windows shattered in an instant. The sudden eruption of Yin energy knocked the young man back several paces, but he soon hovered in the air placidly in front of the classroom. Meanwhile, Ahn Somi hung from the surface of the classroom wall like a giant spider.

“You were the one who forced me to do it… Grrrrr…. SSS!!!”

“An eye for an eye, and a life for a life. Remember my name - Qin Ye.”

Meanwhile, back in Hanyang, at the headquarters of the LSD. Beep, beep, beep! The instruments in their surveillance rooms blared with alarms and warning lights at once.

“Hellguard?!” One of the investigators stared at his monitor with his mouth agape, “How can it be an Anitya Hellguard? The last time something like this was detected was seven years ago! This is a second-tier alert...”

He promptly ran outside, “Teams 7 and 8, follow me to Saint Virtue High School at once! Pronto!”

Ding… Just then, the alarmed paused for a second. And then, it blared with even greater ferocity, “Warning, warning! Maximum alert! Apocalyptic danger detected! Location - Saint Virtue High School. Two Infernal Judges detected. Please evacuate all citizens immediately! This message will automatically be transmitted to the Blue House. Effective immediately, all Republic of Daehan troops in Hanyang are to move out and head to Saint Virtue High School right away. Repeat. Warning…”

He was absolutely stunned.

Yet we’re witnessing the emergence of two Judge-class Yin spirits tonight?!

“What are you still doing here?!!” The investigator was the first one to return to his senses, and he immediately bellowed at the others who were equally flabbergasted, “Cancel last… Tell the bishop to make his move right away! Hurry!!!”

……………………………………………

“SSS!!!” Ahn Somi screamed in anguish as she rolled on the ground in pain. Shockwaves rippled visibly through the clouds of Yin energy around her.

Terrifying… so terrifying!

Qin Ye transformed into a cloud of dense Yin energy right in front of her very eyes. The remaining teachers and students in the school had long since fainted. Frost grew around the ground lapped by Qin Ye’s dense Yin energy. The purity of the Yin energy at his disposal was already at the level where it could already affect the mortal realm. Moments later, the Yin energy formed a mighty bearded face that was tens of meters wide!

Two massive spots of netherflames pulsated brightly in the eyes of Zhong Kui’s face. The trees in the vicinity would bend over in submission with every breath he took. Ahn Somi’s teeth chattered wildly as she dug her nails deep into the ground.

“Hah…” There was a cold snort. Ahn Somi trembled profusely as the majestic head raised his voice, “I’ll give you another chance!”

Boom!!

“I…” She knew exactly what Qin Ye was asking, but she simply didn’t dare to answer him.

“Please spare me…” Her body was covered in wounds, almost as though it had been cut in numerous places with a sharp knife. She kowtowed desperately to the ground and pleaded with a tremor in her voice, “Let me join Hell, and I promise to tell you everything!”

Qin Ye snickered.

So long as an evil ghost has taken the life of a mortal in death, then no matter where they went, it was an underworld’s duty to ensure that justice was served!

“If your answer is still ‘no’, then… I’ll let you experience a fate that is worse than death…”

Time was tight. Qin Ye was certain that there were definitely powerful emissaries of the Rus Underworld here in Daehan, and they were probably rushing here right now.

A Yanluo’s function was a secret not to be disclosed to outsiders!

“Two!”

“Hmph…” Qin Ye snorted, and continued counting down.

“I…” Ahn Somi bit down on her lower lip, yet remained absolutely silent.

A split second later, a dazzling golden light erupted from the mouth of the illusory face!

“ARRRGGGHHH!!!” She screamed hoarsely and miserably. It felt reminiscent of the days when she was still an Operative-class Yin spirit, and had inadvertently been exposed to sunlight.

“No… NO!” The Yin energy in her body trembled, and her lips finally parted once more, “I… I…”

Is it coming…?

Abyssal Prefect?

“Hell’s Emissary?” A voice of scorn called out from the void. A split second later, a massive hand formed out of pitch-black Yin energy coalesced right before Qin Ye’s eyes, and swung straight down towards the illusory face on the ground!
