The Knife Seller: From the Start, I’m Sharing a Rental with the King of Hell and His Judge

I'm Wei Xiaobao, the last knife-on-credit seller in the world. My everyday business is giving people kitchen knives on credit: “When your mirror no longer reflects you, I'll come to collect the 38,000-yuan debt.” Then I gave a client with a haunted house a butcher's knife on credit, and that very night, a ghost in white crawled out of his elevator. To make matters worse, Lu Pan, a judge from the underworld, showed up at my door. He said I was disrupting the balance between yin and yang and had to be arrested and tried. But because of budget cuts in the underworld, this living embodiment of the law was forced to share a rented apartment with me, his “criminal suspect”! From then on, I handed out knives on credit while he solved cases. A painted-skin ghost choked on sticky rice in the kitchen, and he sprayed the bathroom mirror demon with disinfectant until it showed its true form.

When seven people froze to death one after another in haunted houses, dirty blood suddenly seeped from the Book of Life and Death. Only then did we discover that every supernatural incident led back to a mysterious organization called the Nether Palace. They planned to turn the living judge into a sacrifice for an evil god and make me a karmic binding agent! Now they've sent us a deadly invitation: “You are cordially invited to a haunted-house banquet. Tonight's menu: steamed judge and braised knife-on-credit seller.”

Lu Pan wiped his judge's brush and sneered. “Let's show them who's really the main course.”

I quietly pulled out my lightning-struck wooden cleaver.

Perfect. This time, we'll teach them that even the King of Hell wouldn't dare shirk a knife seller's debt!
