Chapter 545 - Cloak

Bai Liu frowned after he, Wu Yi, Bai Wu and Jiu Ye went out of the company where Lin Weng\'s uncle said Lin Weng is working. But, they didn\'t see Lin Weng there and after they checked the company\'s database, they didn\'t see Lin Weng\'s profile there.

Lin Weng isn\'t working here. He lied to his uncle and his uncle\'s family who took care of him after his father and grandfather, who raised him when he was young, died. But, it was not a lie that he has been sending money to his uncle and his uncle\'s family. Or else, his uncle would have already found out about his lie.

But, where did Lin Weng go if he\'s not working in this company?

"Should we check the bank?" Wu Yi suggested as they looked around.

Bai Liu remained silent as he contemplated.

"Chief?" Wu Yi called and poked his arm.

Bai Liu blinked. Then, he raised his head and looked at Wu Yi.

Wu Yi immediately raised his hands in a surrender. Bai Wu and Jiu Ye blankly stared at their \'parents\'. Father (Wu Yi) is so whipped for dad (Bai Liu). Bai Wu thought. This is the only thing he got right.

"I am thinking…" Bai Liu muttered.

Wu Yi nervously swallowed his saliva as he coldly sweated. Is he thinking for my punishment?! He thought.

"… maybe, there is a society for exorcists." Bai Liu said.

"Huh?" Wu Yi blankly looked at him.

Jiu Ye started. "A society…" he said. "An exorcist society?" he exclaimed.

Bai Liu smiled. "Yes. Or else, where should Lin Weng be now? We can\'t find him anywhere." He looked around.

Wu Yi already recovered his wits and secretly sighed in relief that Bai Liu was deep in his thoughts and didn\'t notice he offended him by poking him. "Yes. You must be right." He agreed. "We can\'t find he, who is living, his location, when we should have." He said. "It must be that he has met other exorcists that knows a spell that can hide their location from us." he looked at Bai Liu. "After all, Lin Weng already knows our existence." He told him with a serious expression.

Bai Liu gnashed his teeth in anger. "Damn that 0342!" he cursed. "He really brought us lots of trouble this time!" he kicked a pebble. "Jiu Ye." He called.

"Yes!" Jiu Ye answered.

"Go find Huo Ling and Yi Bing and inform them that we\'ll go to find this exorcist society. We can\'t waste any more time." Bai Liu told him with a dark face.

Bai Wu shivered in fear when he saw Bai Liu\'s clenched fists. "I\'ll go with him!" he raised his hand.

Bai Liu glanced at him. "Yeah. You go, too." He said. "Now that we know that there are exorcists in this world, and there might be groups of them…" his expression turned grim. He then started to walk to a direction to start looking.

"That rally might be of the fake exorcists, but there should be real exorcists out there." Wu Yi muttered as he watched Bai Liu leave. "Jiu Ye. Bai Wu. You both take care. I\'ll send Huo Ling and Yi Bing a message to meet you halfway. Contact us, your seniors, in case you\'ll find something or something happens!" he told them two and ran after Bai Liu whose temper is most of the times bad and rarely good aside from being formal to his superiors.

Jiu Ye stared at Bai Liu and Wu Yi in a daze as they watched them leave before he snapped out of his daze. "We should go." He turned to Bai Wu.

Bai Wu nodded. "Where did senior Huo and senior Yi go again?" he asked.

"You Ri\'s apartment." Jiu Ye patiently answered as he tapped on his communicator to conjure a map for both of them. "Let\'s go!" he said after he checked online the address of You Ri\'s apartment.

"Okay!" Bai Wu answered. Then, the both of them started to run to the direction their map is pointing at.

But, this scene was seen different in the eyes of the exorcists that coincidentally passed by. "What… are my eyes failing me?" one of them said as he rubbed his eyes while he looked at the direction Jiu Ye and Bai Wu are going.

"What\'s wrong?" someone asked him.

"L – look!" the person said as he pointed. "T – those… those are ghosts… right?" he asked.

"\'ghosts\'?" everyone\'s expressions immediately changed and looked to where he is pointing, only to see two hooded cloak floating as they are moving towards a certain direction.

They were shocked.

"Floating… they are floating!" they exclaimed. They are just on their way to have a meal before going to exorcise a nobility\'s house this afternoon. But, they were met this this strange incident.

"They are really ghosts?!" one of them asked.

"I only saw their gray hooded cloaks… but, there\'s nothing underneath!" the person earlier spoke. "I can\'t even see their souls!" he told them.

Their jaws dropped. The ghosts are actually souls that are filled with resentment.

"If they have no souls… then, can they still be called \'ghosts\'?" one of them asked. "And, what\'s with their gray hooded cloaks? Being in fashion?" he added, feeling puzzled.

"Hey… it can be that this is only a prank by someone?" somebody spoke as he looked around.

"Must be…" the others agreed as they started to look around.

"Should we still report this to the higher-ups?" the person before asked. "I don\'t think this is a prank. I didn\'t see any strings earlier nor there was someone around playing with two gray hooded cloaks." He told them. "After all, who would play this prank in broad daylight? Shouldn\'t nighttime more suitable?" he said.

"You have a point…" they agreed.

"So, report this to the higher-ups?" somebody asked.

"En. They might know something about this." They nodded.

"What about those two gray hooded cloaks?" someone spoke.

"They have already left! They are floating too fast. How can our old legs catch up?!" someone older said.

"Oh. Then let\'s go eat. I\'m starving." They said.

"Yeah." They agreed and resumed walking.

That\'s how Jiu Ye and Bai Wu unknowingly avoided being caught. Although they are really in a human form, if a human being with a talent like the exorcists see them, they would see them grim reapers in their grim reaper form. Ordinary humans won\'t be able to see them.

As for their gray hooded cloaks, it indicates their status as junior grim reapers. The interns would wear white cloaks with no hood and no soul nor skeleton would be seen underneath their cloak. The junior grim reapers would wear gray, hooded cloaks but like the interns, no soul nor skeleton would be seen underneath their cloak. As for the senior grim reapers, they wear black, hooded cloaks and are seen with skeleton underneath their cloaks.

Why skeleton and not a soul? It\'s because their soul turned to their cloak. Why would their soul turn into a cloak? It\'s because cloak symbolizes concealment. They, grim reapers, are sinners and should hide in shame. Thus, they use cloak to conceal themselves. Cloaks also can change one\'s identity, thus to repent for their sins, they become grim reapers in the afterlife.

Haoming Company.

"I see." Hao Ming muttered after he listened to his subordinate\'s report. He then ended the call after telling his subordinate to email to him the report.

Not long later and his laptop ding-ed, indicating for a notification. He opened the notification panel and clicked. Then, a picture of the You family was seen on his laptop screen. He then scrolled down and read each of the family member\'s profile including their secrets which his subordinate has heard last night after the You family quarreled because their vacation is nearing its end and they have to face the death of one of their family members, who is their breadwinner – You Ri. They had to arrange for her funeral, which definitely cost big. Not to mention that they have to worry about their lives after You Ri\'s funeral, where would they get this sum of money for her funeral?

The police has already been displeased with the You family since they still continued their vacation instead of booking a flight for their immediate return to the country even after hearing the news of You Ri\'s death from them. They are really such a shameless and scum of a family.

"As for why she moved out… I still haven\'t heard a clue from this family. But, I am in favor of her moving out. At least she would have less stress in her life without this family of hers."

Hao Ming read his subordinate\'s not at the end of the page. He couldn\'t agree more. He then raised his head when he felt that the temperature of his office dropped and, as expected, he saw a black figure.

"Why don\'t you tell me why you moved out of your family?" he asked her.. "Maybe it has a connection with your death… with your murderer?" he said.
