CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 515 IMMORTAL

Guan Beihai is considered to be from a family of policemen.

His grandfather was among the first batch of policemen in the early days of the nation’s founding.

Then his father was also a policeman, and all three of his brothers became policemen as well.

"My grandfather died in the line of duty, leaving my grandma to raise my dad alone, and then my dad died in the line of duty, leaving my mom to raise the three of us alone..."

"My eldest brother died in the line of duty, my second brother was disabled in the line of duty, and as for me..."

At this point, Guan Beihai looked at Shen Siyuan.

Seeing Shen Siyuan’s deep eyes with seemingly no emotional fluctuation, Guan Beihai seemed somewhat deflated.

"I thought you’d be moved by this."

"Hmm, it does sound quite great," Shen Siyuan said.

"Hey, isn’t it?"

Seemingly because he got Shen Siyuan’s approval, Guan Beihai appeared very happy.

"Actually, if you really talk about it, it’s not that great."

"My mom originally didn’t want me to be a policeman. After all, all the men in our family had already contributed to the country, there should be one left, but when I graduated from college, I didn’t know what to do, couldn’t find a job, so I thought, might as well take the civil service exam..."

"So I became a policeman, and when I started, it was just for a stable job, to support myself, not that great..."

"But after working for a long time... a long time... a sense of injustice grew in my heart. Humans are the best in the world, but also the worst, capable of anything, depraved, ruthless, more vicious than any animal, that beastly nature can’t even describe..."

"If there were no laws and no order, then the Mortal World would be Hell."

"Those drug dealers, numb to humanity, destroyed so many families, made so many families fall apart and yet they live in debauchery, enjoying life, even flaunting charity and being idolized..."

"My thoughts gradually changed, from originally just wanting a stable job, to wanting to give them justice. If we can’t give them justice, who else in this world can?"

"Because I didn’t graduate from police academy and had little contact with the police before becoming one, and also because of the upbringing from my family, I naturally went to the front line when transferred to the JD unit, because my face was unfamiliar, it wouldn’t easily arouse suspicion among the drug dealers..."

...

Shen Siyuan noticed that when he spoke, he reached into his pocket several times, seemingly having a habit of smoking.

"So, you also died in the line of duty?"

"Hmm, sort of."

"What do you mean sort of?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised.

"I went on a mission out of town and didn’t expect to meet a high school classmate who exposed my identity, leading to retaliation from some local forces..." Guan Beihai said lightly.

Shen Siyuan suddenly spoke, "Did he do it on purpose?"

Hearing this, Guan Beihai was somewhat surprised and looked at Shen Siyuan, and instinctively reached into his pocket again.

"Why did you suddenly ask that?" He was very curious.

"Because when you mentioned him just now, your emotional fluctuation was quite intense."

"Was it?" Guan Beihai looked down at himself.

"You can even see that?"

He thought he had hidden his emotions well, as a professional like him couldn’t easily reveal emotions, otherwise he would have been dead many times over.

But Shen Siyuan just smiled without speaking. The Jiuyou Demon Lord was the ancestor of playing with souls, and although Shen Siyuan couldn’t reach his level, he could still see through ordinary souls like Guan Beihai at a glance.

Because fluctuations in a ghost’s emotions cause changes in the soul, although subtle and possibly unnoticed by the ghost themselves, they couldn’t escape Shen Siyuan.

"That classmate didn’t have a good relationship with me during school, he didn’t even come to my wedding, and when we met that day, he was overly enthusiastic," Guan Beihai said.

"So, there really was something up with him?"

Since there was doubt, Shen Siyuan believed that after becoming a ghost, Guan Beihai would surely investigate this matter.

Sure enough, Guan Beihai nodded, "He did it on purpose."

"Was there really such deep hatred between you two that he wanted you dead? Or was he actually part of the drug dealers?"

"Not really, he just knew one of the dealers and revealed my whereabouts, probably wanting to teach me a lesson, but didn’t expect those people to kill me outright."

"Why did he want to teach you a lesson?" Shen Siyuan pressed.

Guan Beihai looked at him and grinned.

"Even an immortal is so nosy?"

"You think I’m an immortal?" Shen Siyuan asked amused.

"What else? Dou Dou said all her abilities were given by you." Guan Beihai stared at Shen Siyuan, seemingly trying to discern something from his face.

"That’s true."

Seeing Shen Siyuan admit, Guan Beihai immediately said, "Isn’t that immortal enough?"

Shen Siyuan shook his head, "Still in cultivation, just on the road to becoming an immortal."

Even with psychological preparation, Guan Beihai was still very surprised.

"Didn’t expect someone like you, are there really immortals in this world?"

Shen Siyuan raised an eyebrow, it seemed that although he spoke of immortals, he didn’t truly believe it in his heart.

People like him, having seen much life and death and human tragedy, how could he easily believe in the existence of immortals?

"No," Shen Siyuan said firmly.

Maybe there were in the past, but not now.

Otherwise, the Netherworld wouldn’t be occupied by evil.

"Can you become an immortal?"

Guan Beihai actually meant, knowing there are no immortals, do you still think about becoming one?

"Perhaps after me, there might be," Shen Siyuan chuckled.

Guan Beihai wanted to say something, but didn’t know what, because Shen Siyuan really was strong and impressive. He could bestow such powers to ghosts; if he claimed to be an immortal, he might actually believe it.

"Are there many like you?" Guan Beihai continued to ask.

Shen Siyuan just smiled and didn’t answer this question.

Guan Beihai realized and quickly apologized, "Sorry, professional habit."

Then, rubbing his hands, he said, "Dou Dou said, you could help me."

Shen Siyuan nodded.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Guan Beihai’s face.

But Shen Siyuan saw that he was still very cautious, not as his face showed.

He asked, "Why? I mean, why would you help me?"

"Why do you work so hard as a policeman, is it just for the few thousand yuan salary?" Shen Siyuan retorted.

Hearing this, Guan Beihai was momentarily stunned, then apologized again to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan shook his head, without blaming the other, if he wasn’t this cautious, it wouldn’t do justice to his identity as a policeman.

At that moment, Shen Siyuan suddenly had a thought, made a gesture, and directly pulled Guan Beihai into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner for a brief moment, then released him again.

The process was extremely quick, not waiting for Guan Beihai to react, and even if he did react, he couldn’t resist.

But once he emerged from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, his first words were,

"You still say you’re not an immortal."

His attitude was much more respectful than before.

The reason for Guan Beihai’s quick change in attitude wasn’t due to the effect of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

But because Shen Siyuan now also has a standing.
