Cloud-Raising Dogs for the Big Shots

"Who?"

the Gravekeeper asked.

"The wife of Red Pig, the owner of Grave No. 10086. Her name is Chihaya."

Liu Zheng said.

Red Pig's commission was to find out where his wife Chihaya was. To keep him from collapsing outright, Liu Zheng definitely could not tell him.

But if he could directly fish out Chihaya's soul, wouldn't that count as completing the commission too?

I'm such a genius.

he thought smugly.

As for whether trading the Cemetery Keeper's favor for Chihaya's soul was worth it, he could not be bothered to think that far ahead.

Setting aside the fact that this was Red Pig's commission, even if it was just to make up for Cow-Horse's regret, the deal was worth it.

Only humans considered profit and loss. Liu Zheng was not human.

Well, at least not entirely human.

"I didn't see her."

After a moment of silence, the Gravekeeper said.

"Why don't you open the lid and take another look?"

he said, narrowing his eyes.

"Reasonable."

The Gravekeeper agreed, then moved the coffin lid aside.

"Still didn't see her."

A moment later, he spoke again.

"All right. Sorry to trouble you, sir."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Even the Gravekeeper could not find Chihaya's soul. It seemed she had truly vanished completely.

Perhaps only the Supreme Speaker, or even the Hell Game itself, could retrieve Chihaya's soul.

"What do you want?"

For the fourth time, the Gravekeeper asked this question.

"No need. You've already fulfilled my request."

He shook his head.

Liu Zheng had only asked about Chihaya's soul's whereabouts; he had not demanded that the other party find it.

Since the Gravekeeper said he had not found her, then he had not found her.

Given his status, there was no reason for him to brush Liu Zheng off.

"You're not bad.
