In the underworld,
Jiang Lin shut down the livestream after returning to the underworld.
Then, based on the information he obtained from Chu Tang,
He inquired and collected information from various departments in the underworld.
After filtering the deceased individuals from that period and area, and checking if any new souls had been brought in half a month ago...
He finally found a soul whose information matched in various aspects.
Chu Tianming, male,
Died at the age of 26, from a wealthy family, and had a decent appearance.
The place of death was not far from Chu Tang's home.
Half a month ago,
Because of the residual blood energy on his body, he was discovered by passing ghost couriers and brought back to the underworld with them.
After a series of procedures, he was finally sentenced to serve time in the underworld.
Sentence: 46 years.
...
When Jiang Lin arrived, the individual was working in the logistics department.
Wearing simple clothing, he was helping to move bricks and build houses alongside other spirits.
According to the information Jiang Lin received,
The reason for Chu Tianming's long sentence,
Was not primarily due to harm caused by supernatural powers.
In the judgment,
He had not known Chu Tang before, but had assisted her wholeheartedly, which was considered 'benevolent'.
Furthermore, he had not voluntarily remained in the human world.
Therefore, his sentence was not considered severe in this regard.
Even when serving his sentence, he would not be assigned heavy labor.
Chu Tianming's sentence,
Was entirely accumulated from the wicked deeds he committed in his previous twenty-odd years.
Jiang Lin greeted the ghost in charge there.
The latter nodded, then turned and shouted to the brick-moving team:
"Chu Tianming! Come here!"
Chu Tianming, who was moving bricks, looked up and wiped his face.
A black, dirty handprint appeared on his face.
He floated over quickly, his expression bewildered: "Captain, what's wrong?"
The captain's smiling face instantly turned serious as he faced him:
"This is Captain Jiang, he has some questions for you. Cooperate properly."
After speaking, he smiled at Jiang Lin and said:
"Captain Jiang, you two chat, I won't disturb you."
Chu Tianming followed the captain's gaze, and his bewildered expression was replaced by surprise.
This,
A streamer?
Seeing a streamer in the underworld?
It seemed plausible?
Chu Tianming had heard of this livestream before and had watched it a few times.
But he hadn't paid much attention to it.
After all, people are always indifferent to matters that don't concern them.
Especially for someone like him, who was wealthy.
Why waste time on this when he could be enjoying himself?
Was fine wine not fragrant enough? Or had beautiful women lost their appeal?
Or perhaps, yachts weren't fun enough?
Chu Tianming had plenty of ways to entertain himself.
...
While Chu Tianming was in a daze,
Jiang Lin was also observing Chu Tianming.
The blood energy on the other party, though somewhat faded, was still discernible.
"Chu Tianming?" he asked.
Chu Tianming blinked, "I am."
Jiang Lin: "Do you know Chu Tang?"
Upon hearing the name,
Chu Tianming's pupils contracted, and his heart fluttered.
He didn't know why the other party was bringing this up.
But he still awkwardly nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Lin: "Did you kill someone with her?"
"That was self-defense!"
Chu Tianming's eyebrows shot up, and his tone became agitated,
"That scoundrel... he even deceived a blind girl! We weren't killing anyone!"
After speaking,
He suddenly remembered something, "She wasn't sentenced, was she?"
"No. She's doing very well now."
Jiang Lin created a barrier around them, isolating the surrounding sounds and sights.
"She wanted me to pass on a few words to you."
"And... a new song she composed, which she hopes you'll listen to."
...
Chu Tianming's family was wealthy,
Very wealthy,
Enough to live a life of indulgence without worrying about food or drink for a lifetime.
There was no one at home to manage him,
Unknowingly, he became a good-for-nothing.
With the idea of immediate gratification, he spent his days either with a group of disreputable friends or chasing women.
His attitude towards many things and his moral boundaries were different from most people.
He himself knew he was morally corrupt,
But did his corruption affect his ability to drive a Ferrari?
No.
If you ask those who are powerful and influential, how many of them don't know that what they do is morally corrupt?
Knowing is one thing,
Thinking about it is another, and acting on it is yet another.
Even if he knew about the "Live Stream: Daily Healing in the Underworld,"
For someone like Chu Tianming,
He had enjoyed enough pleasures in life, so why worry about the distant future?
In his own opinion, he would at least live to be fifty or sixty.
After all, wicked people often leave a bad reputation for millennia.
But he never expected retribution to come so quickly.
Just after receiving news that his ex-girlfriend was going to have a breakdown and jump off a building, he drove to her.
The next moment, he almost hit someone.
"Damn it, don't you have eyes?! Are you trying to get hit by walking in the middle of the road?"
He couldn't help but curse as he rolled down his car window.
Then he saw that, indeed, the person was blind.
Fine.
He considered himself unlucky.
He thought that was the end of it.
Unexpectedly, at the next intersection,
He kicked the bucket.
It was bad enough that he died, but for some reason, his soul floated to the blind girl's house that he had cursed.
Even if he left, he could only leave for a short while.
After trying various methods, Chu Tianming discovered...
He was truly bound to the blind girl.
Could this be retribution?
Although after he cursed, he did feel for a second or two that his words were harsh.
But he never expected such a punishment for himself, or atonement!
Or perhaps,
Heaven couldn't stand his actions and had brought him here for self-reflection?
...
During that period, Chu Tianming thought a lot and was bored.
Seeing the blind girl's pathetic demeanor, he found it annoying.
Yes, it was pitiful that she couldn't see.
But what was the point of being so weak and pathetic?
Who was she showing it to?
It would only make those who wanted to bully her even more aggressive.
Didn't he see that the nanny was cheating her out of money just because she was blind?
Chu Tianming had a simple principle regarding money.
I can give you money, I can shower you with money.
But you cannot cheat me out of my money, nor can you snatch my money.
What I give you, you can accept.
What I don't want to give you, I will snatch back even if I have to fight for it!
'This nanny is a cheat! You just let her cheat you!'
'Can't you go out for a walk? Staying at home all day is so pathetic.'
'Big sister, beautiful lady, young lady, stop lying around, okay?'
'I'm so bored I'm going crazy—!'
Chu Tianming was about to go mad from being cooped up.
For someone who partied every day, being tied to the blind girl like this was no different from being locked in a dark room!
But he was just a soul.
He probably wasn't even considered a ghost.
Besides venting his frustration, all he could do was... roar in helplessness.
...
He didn't know how long this went on,
His temper was almost worn away.
Until one day,
Chu Tianming suddenly realized,
That the woman had reacted to his complaints.
She... could hear him?
...
