As Lord Yama, Zaraiah couldn’t possibly make such a low-level mistake.
But...
He indeed never participated in the business of personally capturing souls. As he said, being careless was also normal.
Thus, the confused female ghost felt scared and unwilling when she sensed the dangerous aura of the "Ghost Messenger" in front of her.
When the other party easily removed the nail pinned to her soul, she instinctively wanted to struggle and escape.
She was unwilling to be taken to the Underworld just like that, but she also knew that her powers were too weak to escape from the Ghost Messenger in front of her...
Uh, did she escape?
The female ghost was obviously stunned for a second, seeing the two people across from her do nothing after she escaped, unsure whether or not to flee.
Ivan saw her standing there dumbfounded, sighed, and spoke directly,
"You died with resentment, I can give you a chance to take revenge, just one thing, don’t resort to murder."
The female ghost wanted to say that revenge without killing is not quite revenge, but then she heard him continue,
"Death is the easiest way out, living in torment is the most painful."
The female ghost pondered his words, confirming that the two before her had no intention of taking her away immediately, and promptly turned around, heading for the village.
Even though she’d been dead for a year, she still remembered that iron window.
Countless times, she looked at the sky outside the iron window, wanting to escape from there, but ultimately failed.
Now... she was back.

The night was as dark as ink.
After Emmett Atkins and Zaraiah left, Charlie Atkins hesitated for a long time but still did not immediately take his mother away from that home.
Mainly because his mother was seriously injured, the two of them simply couldn’t leave on their own.
He also wanted to know if that person was lying to him?
Whether he and his mother could have a future?
Emmett Atkins, who had fainted, was tied up by him with a rope, his mouth stuffed with a rag.
Charlie Atkins took quite some effort to do all this, ensuring that when the other woke up, he couldn’t harm him and his mother, finally feeling safe to stay inside the house.
Not knowing how much time had passed, suddenly, a miserable scream came from the direction of the east village.
Charlie Atkins and the woman were startled, the woman instinctively covered her ears first, then seeing Charlie Atkins frightened, used one hand to cover his ears too.
The two maintained this posture, but with the ears that weren’t covered, they instinctively listened to the commotion in the village.
Another plea for mercy came with another miserable scream, and Charlie Atkins vaguely heard it was Uncle Abel’s cry.
Uncle Abel was the one who locked up the teacher’s family.
For a while, it fell eerily silent outside again.
Charlie Atkins didn’t know what happened, instinctively walked to the door, wanting to hear more clearly.
However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard a knock outside.
Tock, tock, tock.
The knocking sounded slow, completely unlike the sound of anyone from the village knocking.
Charlie Atkins vaguely felt something was wrong, didn’t dare to open the door, only peeked through the crack.
Then, in the pitch darkness, he faintly saw a person standing at the doorway.
In an instant, when their eyes met, Charlie Atkins suddenly gasped in shock, landing on the floor with a terrified expression.
Because he saw.
Standing outside the door was his teacher.
His teacher was already dead, so what was now standing outside?
Hearing his gasp, there was a moment of silence outside the door, followed by the rhythmic knocking.
This time, it was accompanied by a woman’s voice outside the door.
Tock, tock...
"Charlie, open the door."
The voice was cold with a hint of enticement. Charlie Atkins instinctively wanted to run, but just as he turned, another thought came to him, and he glanced back at the door.
The teacher was still knocking at the door, asking him to open it.
Charlie Atkins didn’t know why, but he remembered what the man had said during the day.
