Chapter 001: The Female Ghost

  I hope brothers will take the lead, those who have votes will cast their votes, and those who have bricks will throw bricks.

  Ever since Yang Hua heard the strange man say he was Bai Songren, Yang Hua was completely stunned. He could vaguely hear from Bai Xiaodie's words that her father should be a good father, but at this moment, the one considered to be the most terrifying killing machine in the black prison turned out to be Bai Xiaodie's dad?

  "Are you really Bai Songren?" Yang Hua asked incredulously, staring at him.

  The strange man burst out laughing and said, "Is there anyone else in the world who dares to impersonate me?" As he spoke, his whole body emitted a fierce aura that made people tremble with fear.

  Yang Hua looked at him, although he had many doubts in his heart, but throughout the black prison, Yang Hua had indeed never heard of anyone called Bai Songren. Could it be that he was really the father of Bai Xiaodie?

  "What about Little Butterfly now?" Suddenly, Bai Songren, who had been disheveled and distracted, looked at Yang Hua on the side with excitement.

  "She came to find me? How did she end up here? Impossible, how could she have ended up in the Black Prison?" White Robe's face gradually became more and more unsightly as he muttered to himself.

  Yang Hua looked at him and said: "She's here looking for you. Now she's probably still in the medical room of Hei Yu."

  "What? She really entered the Black Prison?" Only then did Bai Songren exclaim.

  Yang Hua nodded: "Yes, and I heard her say that she has been here for almost a year to find you."

  His eyes suddenly became somewhat red and swollen, and he muttered to himself: "My foolish daughter, Daddy is sorry for you, sorry for you."

  Yang Huawang saw his self-reproachful expression and only then realized that this guy was indeed the father of Bai Xiaodie.

  "Is my daughter all right?" Bai Songren asked excitedly as he stared at Yang Hua.

  "She's very good."

  "I'm sorry to both of you." Bai Songren's eyes reddened again at these words.

  Yang Hua looked at him and suddenly didn't feel that Bai Songren was a monstrous killer, but rather a pitiful person who had lost his relatives.

  "Have you been locked up here all along?" Yang Hua asked tentatively.

  Bai Songren nodded, his disheveled hair scattered down, revealing how he had been living here.

  "No wonder I asked the prisoners in the black prison and no one knew you." Yang Hua said.

  Bai Songren burst out laughing. Yang Hua was puzzled.

  Bai Songren said: "This place has to kill so many prisoners every year, and I have been locked up in this death house for 20 years. Can they still recognize me there?"

  Yang Hua felt a chill in his heart after hearing this, and couldn't believe that this ruthless killer had actually been locked up here for twenty years.

  "I've been imprisoned in this dark and dismal place since I was wanted by the government over twenty years ago. Probably, there are hardly a few people left in the world who know me, Bai Songren."

  His voice was like a lament, yet also like indignation.

  "I have devoted my whole life to serving the government, never expecting to end up like this..." Bai Songren's eyes were bloodshot, his voice filled with endless resentment.

  Yang Hua had no idea why the government was keeping him locked up here, but he listened quietly.

  "By the way, how old is Little Butterfly now?" Bai Songren turned his head and asked Yang Hua excitedly.

  Yang Hua said: "She has grown up and is now a doctor in the clinic inside the black jail."

  Bai Songren's weathered face was visibly shaken, and he suddenly sat down on the ground in his tattered clothes.

  "Little Butterfly, my good daughter, I've troubled you." White Songren said with embarrassment.

  Yang Hua looked at this old man who had been worn out by the years and sighed in his heart.

  Bai Songren suddenly looked up and said: "How did you get to know Xiao Die?"

  Yang Hua told Bai Songren in detail how he met Bai Xiaodie and how they got to know each other.

  Bai Songren said after hearing: "So that's how it is. If I wasn't so lonely and miserable by myself, you might have been mistakenly killed by me on the first day."

  He finished speaking and suddenly went crazy, as if killing someone was as easy for him as drinking a bowl of water.

  Yang Hua felt a chill in her heart and asked in confusion, "Right, I heard Bai Niang say that you...you don't seem like the kind of person who loves to kill people, but why did you..." Yang Hua didn't finish speaking.

  But Bai Songren was so clever, he immediately understood and suddenly said viciously: "I thought you were sent by them to get information out of me."

  Yang Hua listened in confusion and asked: "Who was sent by them?"

  "The government." Bai Songren spat out these two words with great malice, as if he had a deep and bitter hatred for the government.

  Government? Yang Hua was stunned there.

  Why would the government treat someone like this?

  "I know you must have a lot of questions in your mind, but I can't tell you now. If I do, it will harm you. They will find ways to persecute you just like they did to me. Do you understand?"

  Yang Hua didn't understand what the secret was, but he could feel that it was a matter of great importance, and Bai Songren's words were indeed reasonable.

  The government has been detaining him for so many years without extracting any secrets from his mouth, and this is probably the only reason he can survive until now.

  "Do you know what I used to be?" said Bai Songren suddenly with a sigh.

  Yang Hua looked at his tall figure and shook her head.

  "I used to risk my life for the government, but these bastards turn their backs on me and don't recognize me anymore. They talk about sacrificing for the country, it's all nonsense." White Send仁 said angrily, as if just mentioning the two words "government" made him furious.

  Yang Hua roughly understood what was being said and it wasn't surprising that Bai Xiaodie said her father had been wronged by the government.

  "By the way, how did you get into this dead man's house?" Bai Songren suddenly turned his head and asked Yang Hua.

  Yang Hua was taken aback and told Bai Songren everything about himself.

  Bai Songren's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this.

  "It seems you were also brought in by that scoundrel Tang Qing, he originally wanted to use me to kill you, but unexpectedly, fate has brought us together here, truly heaven's will. Bai Songren said with a burst of maniacal laughter, the sound echoing endlessly throughout the small black room."

  "I guess, Tang Qing will definitely come to collect your corpse three months later." was all that Bai Songren said.

  Yang Hua didn't understand and asked: "Why?"

  "He must have thought you were already killed by me, so it's completely useless for you to stay here," said Bai Songren.

  "This damn thing." Yang Hua gritted his teeth and cursed.

  Bai Songyun looked at him and said after a while: "Do you want revenge?"

  "I want to, of course I want to," said Yang Hua.

  Bai Songren smiled: "But if you want to avenge yourself, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until next life." Bai Songren's words were not mocking him, but the truth.

  Yang Hua heard Bai Songren say this, and indeed it was the truth. With his limited strength, not to mention seeking revenge, even a single prison guard could probably knock him down.

  Bai Songren said, "If you really want to go out and take revenge, I can help you."

  "Can you help me?" Yang Hua sounded somewhat amused. How could he help him? To be blunt, he was struggling to save himself, how could he help others?

  "Of course," said Bai Songren, seemingly not joking, "do you know what I used to be?"

  Yang Hua looked at him and shook his head.

  "Killing machine." Bai Songren said slowly.

  Killing machine?
