Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 100 - : The Ancestor Looks for Clues
Chapter 100: Chapter 100: The Ancestor Looks for Clues
Jiangli remembered that Zhang Meijuan had said her husband died in a car accident three days ago.
Three days.
Not yet time to fetch the soul.
After seven days of death, a person leaves the yang world and moves on to where they’re meant to go.
Normally, in the first three days, they linger around the place of death, beside their body, or where their attachments were the strongest.
Here, this must be where Qiang Hongtao met his death.
It was normal for him to appear here.
“Abbot, do you think we can find any clues here?” Zhang Meijuan didn’t know what Jiangli had seen, looking around, she seemed somewhat anxious.
She had been to this place many times over these past few days, searching for a long time, but had never found any clues or witnesses.
And she thought it made sense.

If there were any clues or witnesses to be found, the police would have found them long ago, how could it be her turn?
But she just couldn’t let go.
“He’s right here,” Jiangli suddenly came out with a sentence out of the blue.
Zhang Meijuan quickly looked around left and right, “Where? Is it, the driver who caused the accident?”
“No.”
Jiangli hadn’t finished speaking before she took a step and walked forward.
Zhang Meijuan was puzzled, she looked at the passing people but really couldn’t spot anyone suspicious.
Seeing Jiangli walking farther away, Zhang Meijuan hurriedly followed and asked anxiously, “Abbot, who did you mean by ‘he’s right here’? Where is he? Really?”
To her series of questions, Jiangli proceeded as if she didn’t hear, walking straight across the street.
Zhang Meijuan, confused, had no choice but to follow.
Once they reached the opposite sidewalk, Jiangli looked at that ‘person’.
“What are you looking for?”
“I, I’m looking for the gift I bought for my wife—”
The other party answered indistinctly with his head lowered.
The next second, as if realizing something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiangli.
Just as he was about to ask something, he caught sight of Zhang Meijuan standing beside Jiangli.
“Meijuan!”
There was an immediate outpouring of joy in his eyes, he rushed towards Zhang Meijuan brimming with elation.
Zhang Meijuan, knowing nothing, simply stood there watching.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of moist air and cold wind blowing towards her face.
But for some reason, that breath felt strangely familiar; she stood there and forgot to move.
Jiangli watched them.
She saw Qiang Hongtao rush over and pass directly through Zhang Meijuan’s body.
Momentum made him stumble, nearly falling to the ground.
He turned around in a daze, looking at Zhang Meijuan’s back, eyes reddening, as his body began to be engulfed in layers of dark mist.
That was Evil Qi.
Jiangli’s expression darkened, and she flicked a Talisman from the tip of her finger, hitting Qiang Hongtao.
Zhang Meijuan saw her suddenly take action and was taken aback, just as she was about to ask what happened.
At that moment, Jiangli also raised her hand, took out a Talisman, and affixed it to Zhang Meijuan.
Zhang Meijuan immediately felt a jolt throughout her body, as if she had been sharply poked.
It was uncomfortable.
She instinctively touched her forehead and before she could lift her head, she heard a familiar voice whispering with a choke.
“Meijuan—”
Zhang Meijuan shivered violently, turned her head around sharply, and saw someone standing behind her.
Someone whom she had been longing for night and day, the person she wanted to see the most.
“Husband!”
Zhang Meijuan was overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears as she lunged forward.
Jiangli grabbed her with one hand.
Zhang Meijuan was frantic, “Abbot, you…”
“He’s a ghost now, not human,” Jiangli said, looking into her eyes. “He’s dead, you know that.”
Zhang Meijuan’s face, which had been suffused with joy, suddenly stiffened, then faded away.
Her gaze drifted blankly away from Jiangli and settled on Qiang Hongtao.
It was then that she noticed Qiang Hongtao’s body was semi-transparent.
Zhang Meijuan’s tears gushed out in an instant, “Husband…”
