《I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts!》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Midnight. The cold moonlight shone into the room through the window and onto the floor like a layer of white frost, making one feel a little cold. The four sneaky teenagers entered a classroom in the abandoned building of Bluefields College. What a strong ghost aura! Brian was amazed. ¡°Ding! Ghost aura+5, Ghost aura+5¡­¡± ¡°The system loading process is about to be complete. The host will be in a dead state for ten minutes. Please find a safe place to update.¡± After the notification sounds, a control panel suddenly appeared in his mind. He only needed to press the start button to activate the system. Brian was very excited. His system had been absorbing the thin ghost aura in the air for the past month. This moment had finally come. The most important thing now was to find a place to update the system¡­ The red start button suddenly lit up! Hey, hey, hey. System, what¡¯s the meaning of this? ¡°Ding! Dense ghost aura detected here. System undergoing mandatory loading. Host, please hope for the best.¡± You can lead a horse to water but you can¡¯t make him drink. Don¡¯t be like this! ¡°Ding! Activation and loading complete. No interruptions allowed!¡± ¡°Damn¡­¡± Brian was about to greet the young man beside him, but before he could react, he blacked out and fell to the ground. [System prompt: Loading 1%¡­ 2%¡­] Brian lapsed into darkness. It was almost midnight. The three teenagers who were guarding the unconscious Brian looked anxious. One of them reached out to check his breathing. Luckily, he was still alive. ¡°Brian, wake up. We¡¯re just waiting for you now. Don¡¯t drop the ball at the critical moment, kid.¡± ¡°Oh! My dear Jesse, is this your friend? He¡¯s so timid.¡± His breathing was normal and his heartbeat was normal. There was no difference from when he slept. Jesse looked uncomfortable. ¡°Stop it. He just fainted from low blood sugar. Fatty, hand over the candy in your pocket.¡± ¡°If you want candy, fine. Please don¡¯t call me Fatty. I hate it when people call me that.¡± Hey! My temper! Jesse grabbed the fat teenager with her muscular body and quickly took out two lollipops from his pocket. After that, he even waved his huge fist at him. ¡°Alright, stupid Fatty¡­¡± The fat teenager retracted his neck resentfully and cursed. ¡­ Brian, who had fainted on the ground, was in agony. His face was pale, and he was completely unaware of the situation outside. This scene caused the few teenagers who were used to unexpected situations to have a gloomy look on their faces. The three of them were students from the nearby Bluefields College and they were also old members of the Red Fire Paranormal Club. Brian was a junior who had just entered the school today who joined the club after Jesse introduced him. This club was not a place that one could enter by paying. There was an unwritten rule that one had to pass the test to enter the club. The first step to joining the paranormal club was to prove that one had extraordinary courage. They were here tonight to bring Brian to complete the first test. No one expected Brian to faint the moment he arrived. This caught everyone off guard. At this moment, no one wanted to laugh at him because they were all in the same boat. Tonight was not only Brian¡¯s newbie test, but also an opportunity for the wily old foxes in these clubs to earn extra money. According to the rules of the paranormal club, every time there was a mission, there would be a mission gambling event. According to the difficulty of the test, the reward would be priced accordingly. This exciting and interesting game naturally attracted a lot of attention. It had become a popular gambling game. There were many types of bets in this operation. If Brian could last ten minutes, 1 to 1.5. If Brian could pass the first stage, 1 to 5. If Brian could pass the second stage, 1 to 10. Each level increased by five points, and so on. Jesse was Brian¡¯s neighbor and schoolmate. It was also his idea to encourage Brian to join the paranormal club. The other two teenagers listened to Jesse¡¯s words. They had bet all their money on this year¡¯s rookie, Brian, to pass the first round. But now? Before it even started, the protagonist of this operation suddenly fainted. Was this what it meant to die before achieving victory? ¡°Oh, that damn hypoglycemia. My first bucket of gold is gone just like that. How unacceptable.¡± ¡°Looks like I¡¯m going to get my relief this month. I wonder if my old father, who is far away in Tata State, would whip my ass if he saw it.¡± ¡°God, please guide us lost lambs out of the demons¡¯ predicament.¡± Everyone was dejected. Just when they thought they had no hope of completing today¡¯s mission, a cough interrupted their thoughts. ¡°Cough cough, when did I become a god!¡± Whoosh! As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shot their gazes towards the young man who slowly stood up. ¡°I¡¯m so glad you¡¯re awake. I don¡¯t have to collect my relief money anymore. My father would be proud of you, Brian.¡± ¡°Thank God! Thank you, Brother Brian, for your perseverance.¡± Brian smirked. ¡­ That was not hypoglycemia? Holy shit. Jesse stared at him in disbelief as he awkwardly put the lollipop into his mouth. ¡°Are you alright? Can you continue participating in the mission?¡± Brian nodded excitedly. Although there were some unexpected events, since he was here, he had to complete the test. This was why he agreed to join the paranormal club. He wanted to see what special abilities the system had. Speaking of this system, it was also very unbelievable. In his previous life, he was a programmer. In his spare time, he often made some small games for people to play. Suddenly, he received a link from an old fan called Q. It was a comment. ¡°My dear Brian, I¡¯ve been paying attention to you for a long time. I¡¯ve played all the games you¡¯ve designed. Now it¡¯s your turn.¡± Faced with a challenge, Brian, who thought highly of himself, was naturally fearless. He was also interested in this mysterious fan called Q. He downloaded a software game called Man Playing Ghost as instructed. Brian was attracted by the new gameplay immediately. Just as he was enjoying himself, there was a blackout in the apartment. Then, he¡­ transmigrated. After living here for a month, Brian gradually integrated. This world was a parallel world similar to the Blue Planet. Its technology and civilization had some similarities with the original world he had come from. The only difference was that this world was similar to the gaming world of humans and ghosts. Soon, it would usher in an era of spiritual energy recovery. At that time, the changes in the world would cause some terrifying creatures to descend once again, and those supernatural creatures would be called demons and ghosts. A month ago. Brian transmigrated to this parallel universe. There was another system that followed him to this world. It was the strongest skill in the game that he had played previously. It was called Man Playing Ghost System. The system had been in a loading state until he woke up and heard the familiar prompt. ¡°Ding! Congratulations, host, for officially activating the Man Playing Ghost system.¡± ¡­ Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Beep, beep, beep, beep¡­ There was a commotion on the table and everyone looked at each other. It was midnight and they started moving. Jesse and the other young man closed the classroom door. Fatty pulled the curtains shakily. Everything fell into darkness. People who often walked at night knew that they would not be able to see anything if they suddenly fell into darkness. However, after a while, they would regain some of their vision. However, the scene in front of them made them feel a little strange. It was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen. In order to ensure the authenticity of the mission, the club installed infrared cameras in the classroom in advance. This operation would also be publicly broadcasted by the club. Logically speaking, he should be able to see the red dot on the camera, but there was no light at all. As the light source disappeared, everyone became quiet. ¡°Beep! System evolution complete!¡± ¡°Ding! Condition met, activating survival mission.¡± ¡°Host, please capture a small ghost within the deadline. The deadline is one month. You will receive generous rewards from the system after completing the mission.¡± There would be rewards and punishments. Brian, who was well-versed in the game, asked the system. ¡°What if I don¡¯t complete the mission?¡± ¡°Note: If the mission is not completed within the deadline, the system will automatically leave the host. To prevent the secret of the system from being leaked, the host will be destroyed.¡± Hearing the first message, Brian did not think much of it, but the following words of the system made his heart turn cold. What? This was too much risk. ¡°I don¡¯t have any objections if you want to leave, but it¡¯s too much to destroy humanity.¡± Furthermore, what secrets did he know? All he knew was the name of the system. How was that considered confidential? Brian had no choice but to suffer in silence. Fortunately, the system was not so inhumane. It gave him a month¡¯s time. As long as he completed the mission within a month, he should be fine. Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly received another notification. ¡°System¡¯s friendly reminder: The cumulative number of days the host has arrived in the New World has reached 30 days. According to the number of days in January, there are still three hours left until the time limit of the mission is exceeded. Please complete the mission as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Damn¡­¡± Who said that the system was humane? In the blink of an eye, the deadline was three hours. This was killing Brian. Calm down for a moment. Brian took a deep breath in the darkness. The ghost aura here was so strong, there should be ghosts. He had not thought of how to subdue the ghosts, but since it concerned his life, there was no time to think about it. When the time came, he would just have to adapt to the situation. The classroom lit up. As candles were lit at the four corners of the room, the test began. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s do it.¡± Unlike the nervous people, Brian was very calm. The threat of life made him have a strong will to live. One word, f*ck! At this moment. Something touched his shoulder. The furry touch startled Brian. With the help of the dim candlelight, a slightly fierce-looking face appeared before her eyes. ¡°Brian, are you ready? Just do what I told you before. Don¡¯t panic when you see anything. After completing the mission, I¡¯ll treat you to a bar service.¡± Hey! So it was Jesse. Jesse patted Brian on the shoulder and gave him a smile that all men understood. In order for Brian to help him make a fortune in the mission gambling, he had taught Brian all the secrets of passing the test. Whether he was going to be heaven or hell, it all depended on tonight. Brian nodded grimly, as if he were giving Jesse and the others an account of what had happened. Or perhaps he was encouraging himself. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We will complete today¡¯s mission no matter what.¡± If he could not complete the mission given by the system, tonight would be his last. Jesse and the others did not hear the meaning behind his words and slowly retreated out of the classroom. Apart from Jesse and the others who were watching through the crack in the door, there were quite a lot of spectators. Location: Bluefields College¡¯s Red Fire Paranormal Society The paranormal clubs were all made up of students, so their headquarters was located in the school¡¯s residential area. In the lobby of a strangely decorated apartment, dozens of people were staring intently at the big screen in the center. These people were mainly dressed in strange clothes. No one could recognize that they were actually students. The projector screen was playing the image of Brian on a mission. Seeing him wake up miraculously after fainting, everyone was filled with anticipation for the live broadcast. After Jesse and the others walked out of the classroom, snowflakes suddenly appeared on the screen like a malfunction. Many snowflakes formed a huge skull, and a very ear-piercing sound wave resounded through the apartment, as if the devil was cackling. Then suddenly, the live broadcast stopped. ¡°Oh my god, what did I just see?¡± ¡°There really is a demon. He¡¯s here. He¡¯s smiling at me¡­ it¡¯s horrible.¡± ¡°This is definitely a dream. I swear I¡¯ve never done anything wrong.¡± ¡°Dream on. What do you mean by pinching my thigh?¡± Panic quickly spread and the scene was in chaos. ¡­ ¡°Quiet! The president is here.¡± Upon hearing this, the noisy atmosphere was slightly suppressed. A graceful figure walked down the stairs. ¡°Haha! My dear friends, are you scared?¡± Celia smiled as if she had gotten her way. ¡°I was just joking with everyone just now. If you are really scared, it means that you guys have to be more courageous!¡± Only after hearing this explanation did the crowd quiet down. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s a small problem with the live broadcast system. I¡¯ve sent someone to check it. Please calm down.¡± As the president of the paranormal club, after Celia calmed everyone down, she began to systematically arrange for people to check the equipment. But was this really a prank? Celia¡¯s sexy brows drew together. Seeing everyone¡¯s reaction, the pretty president¡¯s harsh methods were evident. It was said that someone in Celia¡¯s family was a high-ranking military official. She had grown up in the military compound since she was a child, so she had been influenced by the swift and decisive style of the military. She was very tough when handling matters. In addition, she had an extraordinary background that no one dared to provoke in the campus. After a while, a member of the club walked up. ¡°President Celia, the equipment has been inspected by maintenance personnel. Everything is normal.¡± ¡°Is everything normal? Then what is the reason¡­¡± There was something fishy about this. Celia quickly took out her phone and contacted the operators, intending to cancel this mission. Beep beep beep! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the number you have dialed is uncontactable. Please try again later. Please leave a message after pressing #. I¡¯m sorry, the¡­¡± After making a few consecutive calls and failing to get through, Celia smelled something unusual. Although she was the president of the paranormal club, she did not believe in ghosts and gods. Her original intention was to tell everyone that demons and ghosts did not exist. However, the strange situation were out of her expectations. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Celia cast a worried glance into the dark night. ¡°I can¡¯t contact Brian and the rest. Anyone would like to volunteer to follow me to the crime scene?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, it caused an uproar. Everyone in the school knew about the terrifying legend of the abandoned school building. Other than a few senior club members, no one dared to move. Even though they were members of the paranormal club, not everyone treated ghosts with disdain. It was one thing for them to pull a prank on them, but they did not want to stand out when something really happened. ¡°Yes! You guys, come with me!¡± Celia left the apartment with several of her confidants. The sound of high heels on the floor faded away. ¡­ Meanwhile, in the dilapidated classroom. The first task had officially begun. Brian took out a lighter and carefully observed his surroundings while lighting the white candle on his desk. Under the weak candlelight, another dark world appeared in the mirror on the table. Brian bared his teeth and so did his reflection. Brian made a face and so did his reflection¡­ He then took out a bag of apples and a Swiss army knife from the props bag prepared by the club. Was Brian going to peel an apple live? That was right, he was peeling an apple. The first test of the paranormal club was to find a place with the most Yin energy at midnight and peel an apple in front of a mirror. If one could peel an apple without stopping, they would pass the test. It was said that as long as one could ensure that the apple skin was peeled continuously, they would see supernatural occurrences. Brian was not afraid and in fact a little excited. Others avoided ghosts and spirits but he was looking forward to their arrival. Thanks to the system, he did not have much time left. ¡°There¡¯s a saying in the East that rabbits bite when they are anxious. I, Brian, am about to lose my life. It¡¯s normal to bite a ghost.¡± He sat down on the old chair and did not care about whether it was dirty. He picked up an apple and started peeling it in front of the mirror. Brian was a technical geek. Although he liked to eat fruits, he never peeled them. Based on him, the vitamins on apple peel were beneficial to the human body, so why did he need to peel them? Of course, he had to lower his head today. His slightly rusty skin peeling skills made him a little depressed. The apple peel would always break halfway. He looked into the mirror. Nothing happened. He unwillingly picked up another apple. Under the dim candlelight, the white candles were heating up the air but drops of red liquid flowed out. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the scene in the mirror seemed to have become distorted. The Brian in the mirror suddenly seemed to come alive and stared at him fiercely. At this moment, Brian did not notice it at all. He was still carefully engrossed in his homework. When he looked up, everything was back to normal. ¡°It¡¯s still useless. Continue¡­¡± ¡­ After several failures, Brian mastered the trick. On the seventh attempt, he finally succeeded. Brian looked at the apple peel in his hand like a work of art and nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly, in the dark and abandoned classroom, a strange coldness surged in from all directions. What happened? Why did it suddenly become so cold? ¡°Ding! A mirror ghost appeared. Host, please subdue it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°[Friendly reminder] The mission will end in 1 hour and 16 minutes. Please complete the mission as soon as possible or settle your funeral matters.¡± System, thank you! Brian could tell that the system was not reliable at all except for continuously threatening him. Now, the ghosts, oh, it should be said that the Mirror Ghost had appeared. What should he do next? He could not possibly fight them barehanded, right? As an outstanding youth who had transmigrated from the world in the 21st century, he knew that ghosts were not physical. How could he fight against them? Rustle¡ª He felt that something was gently touching his hair. However, Brian did not dare to raise his head at this moment. He had not thought of a solution, so he could only respond to the changes by pretending not to notice its existence. Seeing that he was not moving, the object, which was initially probing, became more intense. Outside the classroom, Jesse and the others huddled together and peered through the door slit. The dim candlelight caused what they could see in the room to be very limited. They only saw Brian suddenly stop moving before his movements suddenly become hazy, as if he were covered by a dark cloud. ¡°Hey! How far has Brian gone? Has he completed the test?¡± ¡°Hey! Idiot fatty, don¡¯t push me.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t call me Fatty, and don¡¯t add the word ¡®idiot¡¯, my dear friend¡­¡± What happened next was unforgettable for the youths. Jejejejeje! An eerie laughter was heard and it felt like it was beside their ears. The three of them were suddenly stunned. All of them froze on the spot as if they had been struck by a spell. In the dim light, a black figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, a twisted smile on his face. Brian was still peeling an apple, as if he had not noticed anything strange. Think about it, a ghost face was suddenly laughing at you in the middle of the night. The strange laughter was so clear that it struck one¡¯s heart. That scene was terrifying to the extreme. ¡°There¡¯s a ghost! Let¡¯s go!¡± Fatty was the first to react. He immediately got up and fled. It was Jesse¡¯s first time seeing such a strange scene. He subconsciously rushed out of the building too. Before the other youth could react, he saw that both the fat man and Jesse had run away. He also ran out. ¡­ At this time, Brian, who had been patiently waiting, found a solution from the system. System¡ªMan Playing Ghost System [Host¡¯s Name]: Brian [Rating]: Grade E Warlock [Remaining Lifetime]: 36 minutes [Attribute Points]: 50 / 100 [Spirit Points]: 10 (+0) [Constitution]: 10 (+0) [Skill]: Basic Ghost Deceit Spell (Unlearned)¡ª(Host can use words to bewitch weaker demons and subdue them under your sharp tongue.)

Attribute points can increase one¡¯s attributes according to one¡¯s preferences. As the system continues to improve, more fun functions will be unlocked. All the best, host!) The system looked ordinary. However, as an experienced gamer, Brian immediately discovered the key to breaking the situation ¡ª Ghost Deceit Spell! ¡°System, I want to learn the Ghost Deceit Spell.¡± The system notification sounded again. ¡°Learning the Ghost Deceit Spell will cost 50 attribute points. Are you sure you would like to proceed?¡± If he could not complete the mission, even if the Mirror Ghost did not eat him, he would only have 36 minutes to live. There was nothing to hesitate about. Brian suppressed a strange feeling in his head and pressed for confirmation. ¡°Ding! Your attributes have been deducted by 50 points. Congratulations to host for mastering the Ghost Deceit Spell.¡± ¡­ Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Ding! Beginner-level Ghost Deceit Spell. (The initial trust level is zero. As the host uses the spell to communicate with the ghost, it can gradually increase the trust level of the host.)¡± At this moment. The soft rustling sound of rubbing against each other was like the sound of countless silkworms crawling over one¡¯s head. The numbing feeling made one shudder. From the corner of his eye, he saw something slowly crawling out of the mirror. After obtaining the Ghost Deceit Spell, Brian was more assured. He wanted to see what was on his head. Brian suddenly looked up. In the dim classroom, half of a black body peeked out from the mirror. The owner of the body had the same face as Brian. At this moment, he was smiling sinisterly at Brian, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears. They looked at each other in silence. This was a Mirror Ghost? An imitation was indeed an imitation, it did not resemble the real thing at all. Brian shook his head contemptuously. Knowing that he was discovered, the Mirror Ghost had no intention of hiding and climbed out step by step. Brian looked at the ghost face sincerely, his eyes filled with kindness. He went up and shook hands with him. ¡°Hello! How can I help you?¡± ¡®What? He said he was going to help me?¡¯ ¡®Am I hallucinating because I¡¯ve been a ghost for too long?¡¯ Just as the ghost was confused. Brian caught his hand under his horrified gaze and yanked him out. When he was done, Brian smiled at the Mirror Ghost, who seemed a little dizzy. ¡°Hey bro! It¡¯s no trouble at all. I¡¯m Brian, what about you?¡± The Mirror Ghost, who was initially smiling evilly, suddenly smiled strangely. He answered subconsciously, ¡°I¡¯m a ghost, a Mirror Ghost!¡± ¡°I know, let me ask you, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Coincidentally, I don¡¯t have anything else to do today. Let us brothers have a chat!¡± Did I not make myself clear? Why did he not seem afraid at all? The Mirror Ghost said seriously again, ¡°Er¡­ I¡¯m really a ghost!¡± ¡°I know, but I¡¯m asking your name now, friend!¡± ¡®What a coincidence. I was looking for a ghost.¡¯ Brian chuckled. His actions stunned the Mirror Ghost. Seeing that it was effective, Brian did not give the Mirror Ghost any time to think, and immediately launched a fierce verbal attack. ¡°Hey friend! Have you remembered your name?¡± ¡°Lamborghini.¡± Brian¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this name. ¡°Beep! System¡¯s Ghost Deceit Spell has taken effect. The Mirror Ghost is affected by the spell and its trust in the host has increased to 50%.¡± Holy shit, amazing! If he could reach 50% so quickly, he would have to work harder to take him down within the time limit. Brian had already researched the information about lying to ghosts. As long as he increased his trust level to 100% through talking, he could make the ghosts obey him and subdue him. He was not far from success. Brian, go! Brian looked at the cartoon digital watch on his wrist and decided to strike while the iron was hot. ¡°Dear Lamborghini, don¡¯t be nervous. I just want to be friends with you. Please don¡¯t reject me!¡± Brothers? Friends? Make friends! Is he not afraid that I am a ghost? Brian¡¯s gentle gaze made Mirror Ghost feel as if he had met an old friend whom he had not met for a long time. The other party pulled a stool for him to sit down and handed him a peeled apple. The two of them were like real friends. Had the world changed, or were ghosts no longer popular? Just like that. Brian¡¯s words seemed to be full of magic power as he destroyed the Mirror Ghost¡¯s defense line step by step. The dim and dilapidated classroom could not stop their enthusiasm. For a moment, the man and the ghost were chatting away. Of course, it was mostly Brian who was talking. The Mirror Ghost was still stunned. ¡°Beep! System¡¯s Ghost Deceit Spell has taken effect. The Mirror Ghost is affected by the spell and its trust in the host has increased to 60%.¡± ¡°Ding! There are still 20 minutes until the end of mission. Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible or settle your funeral matters.¡± No, it was almost too late. Looking at the digital watch in his hand and then at the gentle Mirror Ghost, Brian gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. ¡°Lamborghini, you¡¯ve suffered all these years. I have a good place to go. Do you want to take a look?¡± The ghost¡¯s body trembled when he heard this. He kept shaking his head, obviously not interested. ¡°Oh! Damn it, we¡¯re running out of time!¡± Helpless, Brian could only continue searching for a breakthrough point from Lamborghini. ¡°Lamborghini, are you a student here?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I took my last breath in this classroom.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why are you in the mirror? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me and I might be able to help you.¡± Brian was anxious but said patiently. He felt that simple communication was too slow to increase his trust level. With limited time, he could only try to take drastic measures. If he really solved the Mirror Ghost¡¯s wish, he might be able to complete the mission successfully. For the first time, he felt that his thoughts were so clear. He could not help but give himself a thumbs up. Oh! Brian, you are a genius! After some conversation, the origin of the Mirror Ghost, Lamborghini, gradually emerged. It turned out that he was originally a student of Brussels. Because he did not have any special features for his looks, he was ridiculed or even attacked by his classmates. Sometimes, he was even bullied by other students. He believed that it was because of his looks. In a fit of anger, he went for plastic surgery without telling his family. Later on, he died due to poor postoperative care. After he died, he became a mirror ghost due to his love for beauty¡­ As the saying goes, a good word warms three winters, a bad word hurts one¡¯s heart. Words are truly a weapon that kills without spilling blood. Originally, Brian just listened quietly. As he listened, his feelings began to get complicated. Sigh! What a disgusting world. At this moment, he was deeply moved by this tragic story. ¡°Lamborghini, can I see your true appearance?¡± The Mirror Ghost paused, hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. In the dim light. An ordinary but very sunny face appeared. It was not considered handsome, but it was very pleasing to look at. At this moment, his sunny face was filled with sadness. It could be seen that the negative effects of those malicious words on him had yet to disappear. At this moment, Brian and the bright but gloomy ghost looked at each other. He said slowly. ¡°Lamborghini, my friend, I have to say that you are a bright and handsome young man. I like your looks!¡± Look at what Brian said. That was human language. The Mirror Ghost turned from a sad look to a warm smile. ¡°Thank you! My¡­ my friend.¡± ¡°Beep! System¡¯s Ghost Deceit Spell has taken effect. The Mirror Ghost is affected by the spell and its trust in the host has increased to 100%.¡± ¡®Lying to a ghost? No, no, no. I mean it.¡¯ Brian smiled and extended his hand to the Mirror Ghost. The two of them held each other¡¯s hands tightly and a white light appeared. The Mirror Ghost smiled and disappeared. Looking around, the empty room was dark as usual. Brian was stunned for a few seconds before he pulled open the classroom door and walked out. Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Ding! Detected that host has performed exceptionally well in the Ghost Deceit Spell. This skill has automatically leveled up.¡± ¡°Ding! Congratulations to host for completing the survival mission. You have received 500 ghost aura. Please check and receive.¡± ¡°Ding! Congratulations on taming a Mirror Ghost. You have received 100 attribute points and a skill (Mirror Technique)¡­¡± ¡°Ding! As the first ghost has been subdued, the system will open up a realm within 24 hours. Please wait.¡± ¡­ The system prompts began to sound frantically but Brian had no time to care. What happened tonight made him feel both physically and mentally exhausted. Having survived the ordeal, he only wanted to find a place to take a shower and have a good sleep. Brian walked out of the abandoned building. It was still dark but he could still see the stars in the sky. The night was quiet and peaceful. He turned back to look at the classroom, only to discover that the lights in the room had lit up again. Eh? There¡¯s actually someone inside? This paranormal club was really busy. Brian did not think too much about it. He assumed another member in the challenge had gone in. Anyway, he had already subdued the Mirror Ghost, and there would not be any danger inside, so he just let it be. Brian was about to leave after exclaiming. He heard the click-clack of high-heeled shoes nearby. Every time he heard that sound, Brian could not help but feel his blood surge. In his previous life, he was a fat stay-home gamer. How would he have the chance to meet a girl? He was already 25 or 26 years old and had never even held a girl¡¯s hand. Hence, the crisp sound of high heels was enough to make his heart flutter. At this moment! A few black figures were running towards the abandoned school building with flashlights. Someone was shouting something while running. Brian was still wondering. He could hear Jessie¡¯s rough voice from a distance. ¡°Brian! My brother, don¡¯t let anything happen to you. I brought someone to save you.¡± Brian smiled bitterly when he heard it. ¡®By the time you come to my rescue, I would have diied, my dear Jesse.¡¯ ¡°Wait, there¡¯s someone ahead.¡± Someone shouted and several powerful flashlights hit Brian. Having strong lights shining right at one¡¯s eyes, what kind of experience was this? Brian felt his eyes blur. He saw nothing but white light. In the blink of an eye. Several hurried footsteps approached him. ¡°Hey! Brian, can you hear me? I¡¯m Jesse. I brought someone to save you.¡± Brian felt a thousand galloping wild horses crush through his fragile mind. ¡®Are you here to save me, brother? I think you¡¯re here to finish me off!¡¯ At this moment, he heard a pleasant female voice. Crack, crack, crack! ¡°Brian, you¡¯re fine. You can recover your vision in ten minutes. Please don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Brian said subconsciously when he heard the familiar footsteps. ¡°Are you that pair of high heels?¡± The woman¡¯s expression froze. She said coldly, ¡°My name is Celia, sir!¡± ¡°Okay, heels, Lady Celia.¡± Hmph! ¡°Jesse, find two men and get this glib fellow to the car and get out of here.¡± Brian heard only the crisp sound of stamping feet before he was lifted into the air by two men. ¡°Hehe! My dear friend, that beautiful lady earlier now is the president of the paranormal club, Celia. Let¡¯s keep our mouths shut¡­¡± Brian was surprised. The president of the Red Fire Paranormal Club was actually a girl in high heels? Even though he knew he couldn not see it, he scanned the area as if he were looking at a strange sight with a skull hanging from its neck and a pair of heels on its feet. ¡°This lady in high heels sounds interesting. I wonder how she looks like.¡± Tsk tsk! ¡­ With the arrival of Celia and the others, the mission was announced. After a while. With the help of Jesse and Fatty, Brian got into the car that had been waiting for him for a long time. The group of them hurriedly got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and left quickly. The Bluefields College was very large, and it would take them more than an hour to get back to the club. Now that Brian had temporarily lost his sight, he had nothing to do and could check the system¡¯s situation. With a thought, the system panel appeared in his mind. Fortunately, although he was temporarily blind in reality, the image in his mind was very clear. [Host¡¯s Name]: Brian Rating: Grade E Ghost Warlock Ghostly Qi Points: 550 / 500 Lifespan: Three months Attribute Points: 100 / 100 Skill: Intermediate-level Ghost Deceit Spell (Ghost Deceit Spell is upgraded to intermediate-level. Host¡¯s words also have a certain effect on humans.) Mirror Technique (Due to subduing a Mirror Ghost, Host will receive ten times the increase in the ability of his Mirror Technique. It can confuse and deceive the eyes with low-level demons.) Mission: None (The next mission is pending) Activating the demon ghost realm, as the first demon to submit, the Mirror Demon had the right to choose a room to stay in. (Prompt: The host will receive attribute points after completing the mission. Attribute points can increase skills and lifespan according to your preferences. As the host¡¯s level increases, the system will unlock more fun functions. All the best, host!) Hu hu! Seeing that his lifespan had finally increased, Brian took a deep breath. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that a new realm function had been added to the system. It did not look perfect, but it had already reached a certain scale. This was a special realm. The sky was white and misty, making it look very ethereal. There were only a few buildings in the realm. Brian checked curiously and found that the Mirror Ghost he had subdued was in one of the buildings, enjoying wine and watching the beauty pageant. He looked so happy. ¡°System! Can I enter the realm?¡± ¡°As the owner of the system, the host naturally has the right to enter the realm.¡± (Friendly reminder: Host can enter the Ghost Realm through the physical body, but at the same time, it will temporarily disappear in reality.) Holy sh*t, there was such a thing. Then he would not have to worry about not having a place to stay in the future. It was a very practical function. It was practically a godly weapon that could be used to kill and travel. Brian wanted to go in and take a look. ¡°Ding! Mirror image ghost had lived in the ghost realm for one hour, ghost aura+5 ~¡± ¡°Ding! Detected that host¡¯s ghost aura has accumulated to a full capacity. Do you want to upgrade the evaluation level? The next level is Grade D Ghost Warlock.¡± Brian was a little surprised. ¡°System, I¡¯ll confirm the upgrade!¡± It turned out that the ghosts in the realm could also provide ghost aura. In the future, it would be equivalent to bringing along a self-growth attribute. Even if he did not do anything, ghost aura would enter his account. Just imagining it made him excited. However, dreams were beautiful, but reality was cruel! How could he not do anything? ¡°Ding! Host has chosen to level up. Upgrade mission [Subduing Water Ghost] has been activated. Mission authorization: 24 hours. Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible!¡± (Note: If the mission is not completed beyond the time limit, the mission will be announced to have ended. At the same time, ghost aura will be cleared nd restored to zero.) At this moment, Brian was confused. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°System, can we discuss this? Can I level up next time?¡± ¡°Ding! Detected that the host has thoughts of giving up the mission. The system will deduct a month¡¯s lifespan as punishment. Do you decide to give up the mission?¡± Three black lines appeared on Brian¡¯s forehead. How unscrupulous! In his previous life, the system¡¯s actions were known as binding actions. Only unscrupulous businessmen would use such methods. It was the same as a person pointing a gun at your head and smiling as he said, ¡°Hello, sir. This is a democratic robbery. It doesn¡¯t matter if you give us money or not.¡± He smiled and pulled the trigger lock. ¡°Fine, I choose to continue completing the quest.¡± Brian clicked the confirmation button unwillingly. Depressed, he exited the system interface. The joy of completing the mission faded a little. Only then did he notice the movements in the car. After he got into the car, he felt someone staring at him. Perhaps because he did not do anything after getting into the car, the feeling disappeared after a while. Jesse and the others were not in the same car as him, so who was watching him? Confused, Brian tried to find the answer through his sense of smell and hearing. The surroundings were very quiet, which meant that there were not many people around. The car was still emitting a faint rose fragrance that lingered and smelled especially good. Based on Brian¡¯s experience as a bachelor, there was definitely a woman in the car. Speaking of women, a figure in high heels came into Brian¡¯s mind. ¡­ The car drove for about ten minutes before gradually slowing down. Just then, Brian regained his sight. She looked around and saw a woman in the car. At this moment, there were only three people in the car. Other than him and the woman sitting in the back seat, there was a driver who was driving with his head lowered. ¡°Hey! I¡¯m Celia!¡± ¡°Tell the other members that there was an accident during the mission broadcast tonight. The bet has been canceled.¡± The beautiful woman looked down at her watch. ¡°Right, let the other members leave first. I¡¯ll be there in ten minutes. Clear them out in ten minutes. Don¡¯t let them affect my sleep quality¡­¡± Seeing that the beautiful woman was on the phone, Brian did not say anything but secretly sized her up. When a man admired a woman, he would naturally admire her from the bottom to the top, from the outside to the inside. It was a repetitive cycle. Brian had read all kinds of books in his previous life before coming to a conclusion. Yes! Her voice was very pleasant to the ear. There was a hint of charm in her coldness. A beautiful person with a sweet voice should be referring to this woman in front of him. Following her gaze, a pair of seven to eight centimeters red high heels was extremely eye-catching, followed by a pair of long and charming legs. Although she could not see the mountains while sitting in the car, her snow-white robe could not hide her impressive figure. One could vaguely see a fatal temptation¡­ She was truly a stunning beauty. After hanging up, Celia also noticed a burning gaze. That gaze was brazenly roaming around his body, as if it wanted to see through every inch of his skin. Her expression immediately turned cold. ¡°How is it? Am I beautiful?¡± ¡°Beautiful, simply too beautiful.¡± Brian realized something was wrong as soon as he answered. He suddenly raised his head and met a pair of murderous eyes. Celia stared straight at him, her whole body radiating a cold aura. Brian, who had never dealt with women before, had never seen anything like it. He stared blankly at the perfect face. There was an awkward silence in the car. Brian would have jumped out of the car if the car hadn¡¯t been traveling so fast. His mind was racing. In a few seconds, this woman would change her opinion of him. ¡°Where are we? Why aren¡¯t the lights on?¡± ¡°Oh! My eyes! Why can¡¯t I see? I didn¡¯t see anything.¡± Looking at his exaggerated acting skills, a smile appeared on Celia¡¯s cold face. In the end, she could not help but burst out laughing. Brian was tactful enough to pretend he had not heard her. He was still playing his part. ¡°Mr. Brian, you¡¯re really an interesting person. Even your excuse for peeking is so unique!¡± Brian stopped pretending and extended his right hand like a gentleman. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to get to know me better, you¡¯ll realize that I¡¯m actually more interesting than I look. How about it? Are you interested in making friends?¡± Celia¡¯s nose wrinkled, but she held out her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s get to know each other officially, Celia.¡± ¡°My name is Handsome Brian. You can call me Handsome or Handsome Brian.¡± Seeing the stiff expression on Celia¡¯s face, Brian reluctantly let go. ¡°Oh! I¡¯m sorry, beautiful lady. You¡¯re the only woman I¡¯ve ever met who made me lose my composure. Your beauty made me unable to control myself. I apologize for my actions.¡± Women were really peculiar creatures. No matter their age, they liked to hear compliments from others. Although Celia did not like Brian¡¯s earlier actions, she could not help but feel pleased to hear his unabashed praise. ¡°You¡¯re opening your mouth like a piano in a band, Mr. Brian.¡± ¡°Are you complimenting me?¡± ¡°You can think that way, Mr. Brian.¡± After chatting for a while, the two gradually became familiar with each other. Perhaps it was because it was a little stuffy in the car, Celia opened the window and asked curiously. ¡°Sir Brian! I heard from Jesse that you encountered a supernatural incident tonight. Can you tell me more about it?¡± When Celia rushed over, she happened to run into Jesse and the others. She had roughly learned about the situation from them, but she felt that perhaps they were too old and saw wrongly. Therefore, she wanted to ask Brian, the person involved, what he said. Brian stopped laughing when he heard the question. ¡°Someone should have died in the school building this time. There are indeed ghosts inside. Oh, that¡¯s the supernatural incident you mentioned¡­¡± In this way, Brian told half-truths about what had happened. Of course, he did not tell anyone about the system. He only mentined that the mirror ghost had been touched by him in the end, so it did not hurt him. Brian had his own ideas about these things. According to the game settings of humans and ghosts, after the magically rich era, all kinds of demons and ghosts would appear. He was giving these people a warning beforehand. As it developed to the later stages, humans could only stay in a small realm and struggle for survival. He did not want the tragedy in the game to become reality. He knew that this woman in front of him was not simple. Perhaps if these things were spread through her, more people would know and face the impending disaster. After listening to Brian¡¯s story, Celia took a long time to recover. She lowered her voice. ¡°Are these ghosts bleeding from their seven orifices, pale-faced and long-haired?¡± Celia slowly turned around. Bright red spread down from her facial features and the wind blew in through the opened window. She was dressed in a long white robe and her pale face and long hair fluttered in the wind. She looked back and smiled sweetly. Oh my god, that was even more terrifying than an evil spirit. Brian felt both angry and amused. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Brian was indifferent to Celia¡¯s prank. He had seen mirror ghosts before. How could he be scared by her poor acting skills? Brian slammed the window shut and wiped his hand across Celia¡¯s face. He sniffed the red lipstick left on his fingertips, which came with a faint fragrance. ¡°Nice lip balm, but, dear lady in high heels, ghosts don¡¯t have shadows. You¡¯d look more like one if you kept them.¡± Celia was stunned initially before gently wiping the red lipstick from her face. ¡°Everything in the world has shadows. How can there be something without shadows?¡± That¡¯s right, this world had not been taught about ghosts, so it was normal for her not to know. Brian said calmly, ¡°Just because you haven¡¯t seen it doesn¡¯t mean you haven¡¯t. There are no shadows among the ghosts.¡± Celia, who had always advocated materialism, did not believe in ghosts and monsters since the beginning. She felt that this was just a lie to attract attention. Seeing that the prank did not scare Brian, she said in a teasing tone. ¡°Okay, if the ghost really exists, call him out. If there¡¯s really no shadow, I¡¯ll believe you!¡± Brian spread his hands in a gesture of helplessness. How was he going to prove it? Was he going to bring out the Mirror Ghost Lamborghini and reveal himself? He had already said what he needed to say. Since they did not believe him, there was nothing he could do. ¡°You¡¯ll know whether demons and monsters exist in the future. I don¡¯t like to bicker with women, especially women in high heels.¡± With that said, he looked out of the car window. ¡°So what if I¡¯m wearing heels? I¡¯m not only wearing heels today, I¡¯m also wearing black stockings. Do you want to see¡­¡± As she spoke, she lifted her slender legs and placed them on the front seat. Brian glanced sideways, unable to stop his little heart from pounding. He quickly looked away and stared out the window. The river outside the window was just like how he was feeling right now. The boat bobbed up and down like water. ¡°How is it? Does it look good?¡± Brian would be a fool to fall for it again. He ignored her. She continued to count the warning signs that prevented her from entering the water. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. The night sky at the school is pretty good. It¡¯s rare to see such beautiful scenery.¡± Celia was slightly startled and grudgingly stopped what she was doing. ¡°Very well then. Since you do not wish to see it, I ahall not disturb you any longer. You ignorant big liar.¡± With that, Celia turned away. ¡­ ¡°Wait, what did you just say?¡± ¡°I said, you can enjoy your beautiful scenery here. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± ¡°No, what did you just call me?¡± ¡°Big liar! Unromantic!¡± Huh? ¡®It¡¯s fine if you call me a big liar, but you actually called me unromantic. Do I, Brian, look like that kind of person?¡¯ Sure enough, beautiful women were so unreasonable! Brian shook his head helplessly. At this moment, the system suddenly appeared. ¡°Ding! Mission target has appeared. Host, please take note.¡± Brian heard the familiar prompt and looked behind her. He had an idea. ¡®It would be rude not to come. Enjoy the surprise, lady in high heels.¡¯ Brian¡¯s lips curved into a smile. He said in a surly voice. ¡°Alright, didn¡¯t you want to know if a real ghost has a shadow? Then, please turn around and take a look, my dear lady in high heels.¡± What was this big liar up to again? But from his expression, it did not seem like he was lying. Was there really something behind her? The half-believing Celia was now facing Brian. She turned disdainfully to look behind her. ¡°What? Where is the shadowless ghost? Why can¡¯t I see it?¡± Brian did not say anything and pointed out the window. She nodded and looked over. ¡°Trying to scare me? You¡¯re still too inexperienced¡­¡± Before he could finish, Celia froze. A pale and naked woman appeared in his line of sight. More accurately, she appeared in the river beside the road. Due to being soaked in water for a long time, her skin had turned completely white. At this moment, she was struggling and crying for help in the turbulent river. Several times, she was submerged by the water and miraculously floated back up. She continued to shout. After spotting the car, the woman turned around and waved at them. ¡°Someone fell into the water. Quick, save him,¡± said Celia quickly. The driver¡¯s driving skills were not bad. With the sound of brakes, the car stopped steadily by the roadside. Celia rushed out of the car before the driver could come to open the door. Beep! Beep! Beep! Celia took out her phone to contact the rescue team, but the line was busy. ¡°Damn it! Why is there no signal at this time!¡± Strangely enough, the woman was able to keep up with the car when they were in the water. Now that they had stopped, the woman stopped as well. It was the middle of the night and anyone would find it strange if they saw this. However, Celia, who was at the side, completely ignored these questions. At this moment, there was only one car on the quiet road. The other members of the paranormal club had already returned home. They could only rely on themselves to save the people. ¡°Driver, save that woman and your salary will double this month.¡± ¡°Gladly, Miss!¡± Brian leaned against the hood of the car and lit a cigarette. He took his time and puffed. Looking at their actions, he could not help but shake his head. ¡°Lady in high-heels with big boobs but no brains. If your driver goes down, he won¡¯t be able to come back.¡± The two people who were about to dive into the water to save her were stunned. Then, they turned around angrily. Brian was leisurely smoking a cigarette. He did not seem to have any intention of saving anyone. Bang! Bang! Celia angrily took off her high heels, followed by the sound of something hard hitting the car. ¡°I was wrong just now. Not only are you a big liar, you¡¯re also a heartless bastard who refuses to help. ¡°Brian, you bastard!¡± Brian was not angry. He smiled and picked up the shoes on the ground and placed them in the car. ¡°I¡¯m a liar? I¡¯m heartless? I leave you in the lurch? I¡¯m an asshole?¡± ¡°Yes! Bastard Mr. Brian!¡± ¡°You are a complete liar and a heartless bastard who refuses to help. Are you satisfied now?¡± Brian spat out a smoke ring and looked at the woman who was still crying for help in the river. This woman was not simple. In other words, she was not human. If it was not for the system notification, he would not have been able to differentiate it, let alone an ordinary person like Celia. ¡°If you had asked the driver to save her just now, you would have become that heartless bastard. That woman doesn¡¯t have a shadow.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t save him without a shadow? I¡­¡± What? No shadow? Wasn¡¯t that¡­ ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re talking about, Mr. Brian?¡± Celia might have said that, but she stopped the driver, who was preparing to go into the water. Celia, who had been eager to save them, did not think much of it. However, after hearing Brian¡¯s words, she also felt that something was amiss. The time shown on the watch was three in the morning. It was normal for people to sleep at this time. Why would someone come out in the middle of the night? Moreover, this river was a forbidden river in the Bluefields College. It was said that several students had gone into the water to swim but none of them had died. The paranormal club had originally planned to set up a gambling mission here, but because of the academy¡¯s warning, they could only put this matter aside. Now that she thought about it, if she was really fine, with her relationship with the school, why would the school stop her in all ways!? It was in the middle of the night and it was indeed unreasonable for someone to suddenly appear in this river and wave at one. Damn it! Could it really be as this bastard said, what they saw were not humans?! Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Although he was unwilling to admit it, this matter was indeed a little strange. Celia, too, was startled by this sudden twist. She turned her head shakily toward the river. At this moment, there was no woman asking for help. There was only a white plastic bag floating in the turbulent river. A gentle breeze blew past and the bag of condiments fluttered in the wind. It looked like someone was waving at them. Except for Brian, no one noticed a black gas heading downstream. Like a predator, it continued to search for its next prey. ¡°What? Where¡¯s the person who asked for help?¡± Celia exclaimed in surprise. ¡°There! That¡¯s the person you wanted to save!¡± As he expertly stamped out the cigarette, Brian tipped his chin toward the floating plastic bag. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. I clearly saw someone crying for help in the water. How did it become a plastic bag in the blink of an eye?¡± ¡°Lady in high heels, you can only see beautiful things in your eyes, such as the handsome and suave me, so it¡¯s understandable that you¡¯re mistaken.¡± Brian glanced at the expressionless driver. ¡°Miss Celia was wrong. Am I right, Mr. Driver?¡± Celia¡¯s already wavering heart suddenly felt unhappy when she saw Brian¡¯s teasing expression. At this moment, the driver stood up and nodded at Celia, indicating that it was true. ¡°Miss, I kept staring at that person and suddenly realized that it had become a plastic bag.¡± Hearing the driver¡¯s words, Celia did not refute him for once, because not only was this person her personal chauffeur, but he was also the right-hand man her grandfather in the military sent her. He absolutely obeyed orders. He would never fool himself about these things. However, the chauffeur¡¯s words made her feel awkward. ¡®You are my man. If you help this bastard, wouldn¡¯t it make me seem ignorant?¡¯ ¡®This guy even said that I have big boobs but no brains. It¡¯s true that I have big boobs, but it¡¯s nothing compared to being brainless.¡¯ ¡®Humph, big liar, bastard Brian!¡¯ The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. Bang! Celia snorted and slammed the car door shut. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Leave this murderer alone.¡± Brian waved his hand in a gentleman manner as he faced Celia who was behaving like an angry lion. ¡°Beautiful lady in high heels, see you next time!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t see you again, thank you!¡± The black car drove into the dark night and gradually disappeared. Brian put the last cigarette in his mouth. He crumpled the empty pack and put it in his pocket. The ghost in the water had already left. This river, named Varga Breath, was a branch of the Amazon River. It spanned the entire Gro City from north to south, and its range and flow were numerous. It was extremely difficult to search for it. After thinking for a while, Brian decided to go back and rest. He would come here tomorrow to try his luck. He recognized that this place was not far from his residence. What else could he do? He could only continue walking. Who asked him to have run into this? Silence. A bright moon hung quietly in the sky, emitting clear moonlight as the stars in the sky flickered. Brian walked unhurriedly down the deserted road, his cigarette fading from his lips. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already four in the morning. ¡°Ding! Ghost aura+0.1 ,+0.1¡­¡± This was the time when the Yin energy in the world was the heaviest. Even the breeze that hung up carried a sinister chill. If it was anyone else, he might have panicked, but Brian, who had encountered two ghosts in a row, was already numb. The ghost aura in the system began to increase bit by bit. This pitch-black night even made him somewhat intoxicated. Honk honk honk¡ª Two bright honks pierced the quiet darkness. The car window slowly rolled down and a beautiful face appeared in front of him. ¡°Get in, I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Halfway there, perhaps Celia had found her conscience, she actually made the driver turn back. The car started again, but this time there was one more person in the car. After telling the driver his address, Brian fell into a deep sleep. Celia murmured as she studied the man in the backseat. ¡°This guy looks quite handsome when he is quiet!¡± ¡°But¡­ do those things really exist in this world?¡± The handsome man in front of her was sleeping very quietly. But for the first time, she had some doubts about her materialistic beliefs. ¡­ The car kept going and an unknowing amount of time had passed. Brian, who was sound asleep, was awakened by a gentle movement. ¡°Mr. Brian, we have arrived at the place you mentioned.¡± ¡°Sir! Are you sure this is where you live? Did you make a mistake? If you¡¯re wrong, I can give you a ride.¡± The chauffeur kindly reminded him. ¡°I¡¯m already here. Thanks!¡± Brian waved and walked into a grand castle under Celia¡¯s surprised gaze. ¡­ Brian was a gaming nerd who had nothing in his previous life. He relied on his meager income from developing small games and gaming competitions to live a life that was worse than the top. However, after he transmigrated to this world, he became the illegitimate son of the richest man in the city, Old Bu. Old Bu had three smart daughters but he only had his first son when he was middle-aged. Although Brian did not ask for anything, he had excellent food and clothes. He did not like to be disturbed, so he was the only one living in this castle. Back in the castle. Before Brian could wash up, waves of sleep overwhelmed him. After a while. His gentle and deep breathing could be heard in the empty room. Brian, who was sleeping, felt his mind go blank. His feet felt as if they were stepping on cotton, floating in the air with a sense of etherealness and comfort. Finally, he landed steadily on the ground. Almost at the same time, a familiar voice sounded. ¡°Ding! Evolution of the Ghost Realm complete. Host, please check!¡± ¡°Beep! Host has entered the ghost realm and activated the realm attribute. Vegetation growth speed+10%, time flow increase+5%. All demon ghosts in the realm can obtain the evolution attribute¡­¡± If one phrase was needed to describe Brian¡¯s current mood, it was¡ªindescribable surprise and joy. He knew that after subduing the Mirror Ghost Lamborghini, the system had added a new realm function, and he had also used his consciousness to witness the wonders of the Ghost Realm. However, at that time, there was nothing outside of a few buildings and everything was surrounded by chaos. In its place was a miniature world. The surroundings were surrounded by green trees. The blue sky was filled with white clouds. The scenery was extremely beautiful. Tall buildings stood tall and immortal air drifted about. Everything seemed like a paradise on earth. Upon entering, Brian was no longer sleepy. His body was full of vitality and he felt as if he had endless strength. Brian looked around excitedly. After slipping away for about ten minutes, Brian was convinced that this was his ghost realm. ¡­ Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This space was about ten kilometers. Although it did not sound very big, it was shocking for Brian. Brian strolled casually to a building. He raised his head and saw that there was a palm-sized square-shaped door plate with black and white words on the door. There were a few large words written on it. ¡°Class C Spirit Ghost, Lamborghini¡¯s Home!¡± (Note: Humans are divided into men and women, and demons and ghosts were also divided into classes respectively. The classes were: Grade E Beginner Ghosts, Grade D Evil Ghosts, Grade C Spirit Ghosts, Grade B Ghost Generals, and Grade A Ghost Marshals.) There were more classes above the Ghost Marshal. As the host became stronger, more information would be activated. ¡­ ¡°Class C Spirit Ghost, Lamborghini¡¯s House!¡± Brian murmured. When he was walking around just now, he also found many buildings. However, the door plate on the door was blank. It was probably because no one or ghost had entered the empty room. The building with the name should be Lamborghini¡¯s house. The first resident of the Ghost Realm was also the first ghost he had encountered. Since he was here now, he naturally had to visit his old friend. Ding! Ding! Ding! Brian smiled and rang the doorbell. ¡°Hey! Dear Lamborghini, I¡¯m here to see you!¡± Upon hearing the sound, the door slowly opened, and the radiant Mirror Ghost Lamborghini welcomed them warmly. ¡°Oh! Welcome, my dear friend!¡± The gloomy young man who had been mocked because of his appearance had regained his bright and lively self. He was a completely different person from when he was in the abandoned classroom. If one did not know the inside story, they would definitely think that this was a very bright boy. Yes, he was now a sunny boy, not a Mirror Ghost! On the other side, after entering the building. Lamborghini began to enthusiastically pull Brian around to tour his magnificent new house. Every place he went, Lamborghini would introduce the things they saw with a smile. ¡°This poster is the latest beauty pageant champion. Miss Mona, how is she? Isn¡¯t she beautiful?¡± ¡°This is a sofa. It¡¯s made from a brand new oriental design. It¡¯s very soft!¡± ¡°Come, come, come! My friend, take a look! This is a television. You can see handsome guys and pretty girls 24 hours a day. It¡¯s very convenient!¡± Perhaps it was because he had not been in contact with the real world for a long time, Lamborghini even excitedly introduced the toilet for a long time. ¡°Beep! Mirror ghost¡¯s trust towards the host has turned into affinity!!!¡± ¡­ Brian chose not to interrupt as he listened to the bits and pieces of the speech and the fuss. Instead, he smiled as a qualified listener and nodded in response from time to time. Brian asked with a smile when they were resting in the living room. ¡°How¡¯s life here, Lamborghini?¡± ¡°Thank you, my dear Brian. You¡¯re the one who gave me a new life. You¡¯re right. This really is a paradise to look forward to. I love life here.¡± ¡°Alright, as long as you like it, my friend!¡± This was the case. A wandering ghost was a lonely ghost. It hid in a dark corner and could only come out during the short time of night. Moreover, a low-priced demon ghost like him could only move around in that mirror. Now, it was living freely in the Ghost Range, and this strange realm could continuously increase its ghost aura. It was perfect to call this a paradise for ghosts. After a brief conversation with Lamborghini, Brian got up and left. In the middle of a tall building stood a majestic castle. Brian did not know whether to laugh or cry at the decor and layout of the castle. ¡°System! Why do I live in the same place as I do in real life? Can¡¯t I do something different?¡± That was right, everything in front of him was exactly the same as his family in reality. It could not be said to be exactly the same, it was simply carved from the same mold. Just then, a cloud drifted in through the window. A mechanical voice sounded in the castle. ¡°The host has the right to change the style of living. If you need to change, please obtain the building template from the merchant shop after you become a Class C Warlock. The host can exchange it with attribute points according to your preference.¡± Hearing the familiar voice coming from a cloud, Brian curiously circled it twice. So the system was actually a cloud. No wonder it often did many unscrupulous things. It had no conscience to begin with, so how could it be unscrupulous? An unscrupulous businessman! He had no intentions of doing so! Brian nodded seriously. It seemed like the plan to change the housing had to be put on hold. He was only a Class E Warlock now and he still the upgrade mission to complete. Even if he completed it, he would only be upgraded to a Class D Warlock. It would take some time for him to reach Class C, and he would need to pay additional attribute points to exchange for the housing template. He really did not let go of any opportunity! However, the Ghost Realm gave him a big surprise today. This was not only a paradise for ghosts, but also a paradise for Brian. He had only stayed here for a short hour, but he felt that his mental strength and body had become stronger than before. It could be possible for him to live here for a long time to extend his life. Furthermore, after he discovered that Lamborghini had entered the realm, he had been continuously increasing his ghost aura. In other words, if there were more ghosts in the realm, he would not have to worry about not having more ghost aura. The only problem was that other than ghost aura, there was something else that he had to improve on. That was the attribute points. The attribute points would only be rewarded when he completed the mission and leveled up. Not only could the attribute points increase his skills, but it could also increase his lifespan. In the later stages, he could also exchange for various useful items. Brian snapped his fingers handsomely and a system panel that had transformed into a virtual display appeared in front of him. The data on the interface had changed drastically. Host¡¯s Name: Brian Rating: Grade E Ghost Warlock Ghost aura: 57 / 500 (Satisfied the ghost aura for this grade, able to apply for an upgrade. Currently in the upgrading process, 500 ghost aura will be deducted.) Lifespan: Two months and 29 days. (100 attribute points can be exchanged for one month of life.) Attribute Points: 100 / 100 Ghost Realm: Subdue¡ªOne low-level Mirror Ghost. Skill: Intermediate-level Ghost Deceit Spell ¡ª300 attribute points required for upgrade. (Ghost Deceit Spell is upgraded to intermediate-level. Host¡¯s words also have a certain effect on humans.) Mirror Technique¡ª100 attribute points required for upgrade. (Since you have subdued a Mirror Ghost, the host will receive ten times the increase in Mirror Technique. It can confuse and deceive the eyes of low-level demons.) Mission: Upgrade mission (Subdue the Water Ghost that wreaks havoc and solve the hidden dangers of the Water Ghost for the masses). Mission time limit is 24 hours and you have 22 hours remaining. The ghost aura deducted will all be cleared to zero. As a punishment, one month of lifespan will be reduced. Small punishment¡­] (Please click¡­ Open!) ¡°If I don¡¯t complete the upgrade mission, not only will I fail the upgrade, but I will also lose a month of my lifespan. What an evil system!¡± Brian wanted to curse in his heart. It was a f*cking binding act again. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing that he had less than three months left to live and the mission deadline on the interface counted down, Brian suddenly felt a sense of urgency. The most important thing now was to complete the mission, but how could he find the cunning water ghost? ¡°Hey! System! Water ghosts are different from mirror ghosts. They don¡¯t stay in one place and don¡¯t move. This ghost often moves around. How can I find him?¡± ¡°The host¡¯s system panel is the basic interface. There are more options below the basic interface. Please open it and use more system functions. There will always be a function suitable for the host.¡± According to the system¡¯s instructions, Brian opened the interface and finally found two functional options. That was right, there were only two. 1. Radar scan. (Basic function: Able to check the location of demons and ghosts within a 10-kilometer radius, making it easier to find the target.) Note: Host Brian, Class E Warlock. The highest authorization would allow you to check the location of a Class C ghost. Each use costs 50 attribute points. 2. Left Oculus of God (Basic Function: Human and ghosts have their own path. If ghosts are unwilling to be seen by mortals, this function will allow the host to possess the Oculus of God. All ghosts will be exposed.) Note: Host Brian, Class E Warlock. The highest authorization would allow you to see the invisibility of a Class C ghost. ¡­ (Detected host status, currently no authority to activate the remaining functions. Host, please work harder and activate the functions as soon as possible.) These two functions were simply prepared for this mission. One was the locator function of a satellite and the other was the Oculus of God that allowed him to locate the invisibility any time. Brian was full of confidence in this mission. Although he could not discover high-level demon ghosts due to the level restriction, the water ghost¡¯s level was not very high. Therefore, the functions were sufficiently good for now. But was this really a coincidence? He still had 100 attribute points from completing the mission last time. Using these two functions would consume 100 attribute points. This was a profound problem! The system took the initiative to explain for the first time. ¡°System Friendly Response: Don¡¯t worry, the system is doing everything according to the procedure. There are no personal emotions mixed in!¡± ¡®Why should I believe you! You are an evil system!¡¯ ¡®No, this fella is a cloud of mist, and doesn¡¯t have feelings!¡¯ ¡®Emotionless unscrupulous system!¡¯ Brian thought to himself as he smiled and said, ¡°Oh! Honorable System, what are you thinking? I¡¯m completely at ease with your work.¡± System: ¡°According to the host¡¯s evaluation, host is being 1% insincere, 9% hiding the truth, 90% slandering the system. Activating yellow warning once!!!¡± There was a thunderclap in the cloudless sky and an arm-thick bolt of lightning struck Brian. Crackle! Brian looked at the burnt tree and swallowed his saliva. He quickly recited the praises in his heart and used all the praises he could think of. ¡­ Swoosh¡ª His vision blurred and for a moment Brian was back in reality. It was still night. The night was dark and dawn was gradually breaking. It looked like dawn was approaching. Brian picked up a bottle of red wine from the bar and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window to savor the wine. After coming out of the demon space, Brian did not feel tired at all. Instead, his mind was very clear, as if he had slept for a few days. Just then, an urgent news broadcast on the television caught Brian¡¯s attention. ¡°Hello, everyone! This is Gro City Radio Station, the first news channel. I¡¯m the host, Annie.¡± ¡°Latest news from this station. Recently, an unknown terrifying monster has appeared in the river that flows through Gro City. It appears from midnight to six in the morning. It likes to appear at night in white. While pretending to fall into the water in the river, it cries for help loudly, attracting kindhearted people to go into the water to save it. Without exception, all of them are dragged into the water. Currently, no one knows if they are dead or alive. The National Security Department has already stepped in to investigate¡­¡± ¡°So, if you meet someone drowning for help in the middle of the night, you have to be careful. It might not be a human. Don¡¯t go into the water. I repeat, don¡¯t go into the water¡­¡± ¡°Till 10 am today, more than 20 people have been killed. This crazy monster was named Water Ghost by scientists. As the name suggests, it is a monster in the water!¡± ¡°In order to completely eliminate the water ghost, the relevant Special Department have already launched a top level operation. They will eliminate the monsters as soon as possible and return the city to its former glory!¡± ¡°According to the relevant departments, the water ghost can¡¯t go ashore to harm people. Therefore, for everyone¡¯s safety, please reduce your night trips so as to avoid being harmed by the water ghost.¡± ¡°Today¡¯s broadcast ends here. We will update the latest situation of the water ghost in real time. Please take precautions¡­¡± Brian took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs. ¡°It seems like this damned water ghost has already killed many innocent people. If I delay for a few more days, more people will probably be harmed. I¡¯ll go and take him in tomorrow!¡± After completing his mission, Brian felt a sense of mission. The next night, Brian drove out of the castle early. Without thinking, he went to the place where he met the water ghost last night. ¡°Huh? Why is she here?¡± Brian looked at the river from last night. There were more than ten armed guards standing by the river. The beautiful woman sitting on the car caught his attention. Red high heels, long hair, sexy red lips, and a face like goddess Venus under the moonlight. It was the president of the paranormal club, Celia. ¡°Hey! Lady in heels¡­¡± Brian was about to say something witty when he looked at the dozen black muzzles and swallowed his words. Although Brian had the system and could deal with ghosts, it was difficult for him to deal with firearms. Fortunately, Celia stepped forward. ¡°Put down your guns! Mr. Brian is the backbone of our club and my friend. Is this how you treat my friend?¡± One did not know if it was intentional or not, but when Celia spoke, she emphasized the word ¡°friend¡± as if she was implying something! As soon as Celia finished, Brian felt the threat of being pointed at disappear. The guards saluted and turned around in unison. Their actions were done in one go. It was obvious that they were experts who had undergone special training! It was only then that Brian remembered the news on television that the country would send Special Department to deal with the water ghost. Could these people be from the Special Department? Looking at their clear division of labor and tight defense of the river, Brian was surprised! Especially when he saw the assault rifles and cannons on the opposite side of the road, his expression became even stranger. Why? Were these people planning to use firearms to fight demons? It might not be useful, but if the water ghost was unwilling to show itself, they would not be able to see it with their naked eyes. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°System! Can these human weapons cause damage to demons and ghosts?¡± ¡°Note: Demons are born from the earth and are creatures that have attained Dao through cultivation. Weak demons can be injured by mortal objects, but in front of the powerful demons, one can only tickle them.¡± ¡°As for ghosts, they are formed from human beings or other living beings who are unwilling to disappear after they die. Therefore, they live in another form. They are no longer physical existences, so using physical methods to deal with them is useless.¡± ¡®I knew it. If firearms were useful, humans wouldn¡¯t have been forced to survive under such harsh conditions after the spiritual energy was completely recovered.¡¯ ¡°Hey! Mr. Brian?¡± While Brian was deep in thoughts, a familiar fragrance entered his nose. He followed the fragrance and lowered his head, meeting a beautiful face. It almost made Brian jump. Fortunately, he restrained the urge to back away. Was she trying to seduce him? Alright, then let¡¯s see who¡¯s better? Brian smiled and went forward. Just as he was getting closer and was about to kiss her, Celia suddenly dodged nimbly. What a pity, he was so close! Seeing Brian¡¯s regretful look, Celia smiled proudly. ¡®Hmph! Pretending to be reserved last time, now your lecherous tail is showing!¡¯ ¡®Look, even a man would find it hard to resist my beauty.¡¯ After teasing him for a while, Celia felt much better. ¡°Hey! My dear big liar, Mr. Brian, what are you doing here? Don¡¯t tell me you didn¡¯t get enough of the scenery last night and came here to admire the night scenery again today!¡± She was curious as to why Brian was here. It looked like he had prepared some diving gear in his car. It was definitely not as simple as just passing by! She did not believe that Brian would come to swim in the middle of the night. However, the Water Ghost incident had caused quite a stir in Gro City recently. The river had become a restricted area. Brian would be seeking his own death if he went there late at night for a swim. ¡®Could it be that he was also here to catch water ghosts like me?¡¯ Celia was lost in thought as she watched Brian carrying a child rescue ring and a small leather dinghy. ¡°Haha! The lady in high heels seems to know me very well. She even has a good reason for coming here!¡± ¡°However, my beauty is not in this dark night. The beauty in my heart is right before my eyes.¡± Brian stared at the beauty in front of him without blinking, showing a smirk on his face. ¡°Hmph! You¡¯re really¡­ really¡­¡± Celia¡¯s face changed. She wanted to sneer at the guy, but now he made her blush with his fancy words. After seeing the news, she had a new understanding of what happened last night. In order to catch a glimpse of what the water ghost looked like, she even called the person in the military and got some helpers. As soon as the sky turned dark, she rushed over with her men. ¡°Mr. Brian is as humorous as ever, but unfortunately, I have booked the entire venue tonight. You can admire it, but it¡¯s only limited to viewing. With your intelligence, you should know what I mean!¡± Whatever Brian was here for, she was not going to let anyone ruin her plan. Celia was very confident in his operation this time. With the extraordinary skills of the people he had brought along and the powerful equipment he had transferred today, as long as the monster in the water dared to appear, it would definitely not return. As for what Brian said about demons and ghosts having no shadows, she could investigate after she caught the monster. Hearing Celia¡¯s domineering declaration, Brian frowned his sword-like eyebrows. This time, Brian was in a dilemma. He had never expected his lady in high heels to appear here tonight. One had to know that he came here based on the scanning function of the system. It might be a coincidence, but the radar scanning function of the system showed that the water ghost was indeed wandering around the nearby river. Now that there were these people stirring things up, what should he do next? Should he do a live broadcast? Of course, Brian could not tell them that he had come to catch water ghosts in order to complete the mission. Besides, their purpose here was not simple. If he told them, it would attract their attention. Friendly reminder: Upgrade mission (Subdue the Water Ghost that wreaks havoc in one area and help the masses resolve the hidden dangers of the Water Ghost). The time limit of the mission is 24 hours. There are 8 hours and 32 minutes left. Any ghost aura that is deducted will be cleared to zero. As a punishment, one month of lifespan will be reduced. Small punishment¡­ Looking at the mission countdown in the system, Brian forced himself to calm down. There was still some time left. He could only wait and see. Hopefully, they would not affect his mission. Seeing that Brian did not speak, Celia waved his hand and called someone over. This person was holding a live broadcast device in his hand. The strange clothing on his body suggested that he was a member of the Red Fire Paranormal Club. ¡°Dear members and friends, I am your president, Celia. Tonight, the entire process of catching the water ghost will be broadcasted live. Let¡¯s see what the true appearance of the water monster is!¡± After Celia¡¯s brief opening speech, the live broadcast officially began. Everyone in Gro City knew about the reputation of ghosts and monsters. Now that there was actually a live stream of them catching the water ghost, the popularity of this stream immediately shot to the top of the search rankings. More and more people flooded into the live-stream. ¡°The president is so beautiful today. She¡¯s like an angel!¡± *spams heart* ¡°Is President Celia only beautiful today? In my heart, she is beautiful every day¡­¡± ¡°Urgh! Urgh! Bear with the disgust and agree.¡± At that moment, not only the members of the paranormal club, but even some passers-by joined the special live broadcast. ¡°I¡¯m a newcomer, what¡¯s going on? This girl is so pretty. Does she have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Same question! Same question! Please add me on WeChat¡­ njsgdsb78~¡± ¡°Little Missy doesn¡¯t belong to you alone. She belongs to everyone. You have to learn how to share!¡± ¡­ When the livestream started, the comments from the paranormal club members could still be seen. Ten minutes later, the entire screen was filled with comments. Celia had no choice but to turn off the bullet-screen comments. Brian was dumbfounded as he watched this. What was the meaning of this? It was even broadcasted live? Originally, he was already troubled by Celia bringing people to disrupt the situation, but now, the next action was directly broadcasted live. Did he have to perform catching water ghosts in the live broadcast? It was a headache! Just then, a ringtone pulled Brian back to reality. ¡°Hello! I¡¯m handsome Brian. Are you watching the live broadcast? No, no, no, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Jesse¡¯s voice came from the other end of the line. ¡°Hey! How did you know that I wanted to watch the live-stream with you? But my friend, why aren¡¯t you home? I wanted to borrow your screen from the castle to watch the live-stream.¡± This was what happened. Near Brian¡¯s castle was Jesse¡¯s rented apartment. In order not to let others know about his complicated family matters, Brian had always claimed to be the butler of the castle. After showing Jesse around the castle last time, he was very fond of the ten by ten meter private projection at Brian¡¯s house. He often came to the castle to watch movies with him whenever he was free. Today, it so happened to be Celia¡¯s live stream. Jesse immediately wanted to go to the castle to watch the live stream, but he could not find Brian. Why are you still watching the live broadcast at a time like this? ¡°The passcode key to the castle gate is six sixes. Take a look first. I¡¯m busy. Bye!¡± Brian was not in the mood to watch the live stream. He was at the live stream. Looking back at Celia, who was still interacting with the audience, Brian could not help but cover his forehead. ¡°Oh my god! This evil and inappropriate live broadcast!¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Brian had just put down the phone when he received an invitation from Celia. ¡°Mr. Brian, although today¡¯s mission is not the club¡¯s operation, since you are participating, I can allow you to be a member of the club. What do you think?¡± Brian did not pass the test because the last club test was not live-streamed. He was not a member of the Red Fire Paranormal Club. ¡°My pleasure, ma¡¯am!¡± Brian, who was still paying attention to the movements of the water ghost, did not think too much and casually replied. ¡°Oh! Congratulations to Mr. Brian for becoming a member of the paranormal club. Please welcome our new partner.¡± When Brian realized what was happening, he felt like he was on a pirate ship. ¡­ System Notification: Current time is 11:48 PM in Gro City! It was already close to midnight. There were only ten minutes left before midnight. Everyone in the live-stream was waiting for the water ghost to appear. Celia did not say anything else. She pointed the camera straight into the river. Under the radar of the system, the water ghost had already entered the ambush set up by those armed with guns and was about to appear. Brian stared hard at the river. ¡°Activate system function, Left Oculus of God!¡± ¡°Beep! Activated successfully. 50 attribute points deducted. Duration: 12 hours.¡± As the system beeped, Brian¡¯s left eye suddenly flooded with heat. The tingling sensation was hard for him to get used to. Ten seconds later, everything became clear. Brian¡¯s eyes were like a high-performance microscope. The murky lake water became clear in his eyes, and a white thing floated toward him through the water. ¡°It¡¯s here!¡± ¡°What¡¯s here?¡± Celia blinked at him curiously. ¡°The thing you¡¯re waiting for is here!¡± In the eyes of everyone, the turbulent river was still the same as before. Celia thought that Brian was just scaring her. To confirm the situation, she took out a small walkie-talkie. ¡°Everyone, please report the current situation!¡± ¡°River Coast Division, no situation, over!¡± ¡°Sniper team, no situation. Over!¡± ¡°Firepower unit, no situation. Over!¡± ¡°Underwater team, no situation. Over!¡± ¡­ Celia proudly waved the walkie-talkie in her hand. ¡°Mr. Brian, did you hear that? Everything is normal!¡± Hearing the report, Brian suddenly shivered. There were people underwater. This was equivalent to feeding the water ghost! He hurriedly asked, ¡°What time is it now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s 12:03 AM now. Why?¡± Brian¡¯s face darkened when he heard that. ¡°Celia! Quick, get your men out of the water.¡± The atmosphere immediately turned tense! There was no time for Brian to say more. Any later and it would be too late. ¡°Are you kidding me, Mr. Brian? They are the main force in capturing the water ghost. How can they retreat at this time?¡± ¡°You brainless woman with big breasts, ask about the situation underwater again!¡± Seeing that Brian did not look like he was joking, Celia tried to contact the underwater crew. ¡°Beep beep beep¡­¡± A busy tone was heard and Celia realized something was wrong. In Brian¡¯s left eye, he could clearly see dozens of figures carrying oxygen tanks and professional diving equipment being dragged into the dark river by white water ghosts. The inexplicable situation in front of them made everyone panic. Originally, they had planned to send a small group of people into the water to lure the water ghosts out. After that, they would use their powerful firepower to suppress the water ghosts and capture or kill them. However, the current situation was that they had lost contact with the crew underwater before even discovering the shadow of the water ghosts. This situation left them at a loss. At this moment, sound came from the walkie-talkie in Celia¡¯s hand. ¡°Miss! We are trapped by a monster. Request for help!¡± Perhaps it was because the situation was urgent, the voice on the walkie-talkie was filled with sorrow and urgency. This unexpected situation caught everyone off guard. The underwater monster finally appeared. However, the ambush they had set up did not work at all. Their people were actually entangled by the monsters. It was unrealistic to say that they had firepower coverage now because it was very likely that they would accidentally injure their own people. But now that they were not doing anything, it was unknown if the people in the water were still alive. After hesitating for a moment, Celia decided to send people to rescue them! ¡°Hold on, I¡¯ll send someone to save you, do you hear me¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an ear-piercing sound wave from the walkie-talkie. Obviously, they could not hear her. ¡°Argh! Come down, save me¡­ save me¡­¡± After the busy tone, a gloomy voice came from the walkie-talkie, scaring Celia so much that she threw the walkie-talkie away. What should they do? They had not caught the water ghost yet but more than ten people had died. Celia paced anxiously. Perhaps she was too anxious to look at her feet, she was suddenly tripped by the walkie-talkie that she had just thrown away. Everyone knew about the situation on the riverbank. After being eroded by the river water and washed by the rain for a long time, only very hard rocks and gravel were left behind. It would be terrible if she fell down here. As the ground in front of her got closer and closer, Celia instinctively closed her eyes. One second, two seconds, three seconds! The expected collision and pain did not come. Instead, there was an inexplicable warmth flowing through her body. ¡®Eh? What¡¯s on my waist?¡¯ Sensing something amiss, Celia met a pair of teasing eyes the moment she opened her eyes. ¡°Lady in heels, can you get up if you haven¡¯t fainted from fright? Hurry up, I still have to help you and save those in the water!¡± Hearing this, Celia scrambled out of Brian¡¯s arms. ¡°What? Brian, you can save those people?!¡± Human lives were at stake. Even if Brian wanted to keep a low profile, he had to take action. ¡­ At Brian¡¯s suggestion, Celia withdrew everyone she had brought to the road. At this moment, only Brian, Celia, and the members of the paranormal club who were responsible for the live stream were left on the riverbank. ¡°Mr. Brian, are you sure this will work?¡± Looking at Brian, who was wearing a diving suit and a children¡¯s swimming ring, Celia was shocked. Filling the small leather dinghy he had brought, Brian turned back and made a victory gesture. ¡°My dear Lady Celia, how can a man say it won¡¯t work? Please remove the word ¡®won¡¯t¡¯.¡± Brian lit a cigarette and walked towards the rapids in a dashing manner that he imagined to be. What he did not know was that his words and actions were being watched by hundreds of thousands of people. The livestream was already in chaos. At this moment, everyone watching the livestream was also boiling with anxiety. Unfortunately, the comments in the live-stream had already been turned off. The sudden incident made Celia and the others subconsciously ignore the existence of the live-stream. ¡°Miss, can this eccentric gentleman really defeat the water ghosts and save those people?¡± A member of the club who was holding a camera asked what everyone in the live-stream was thinking. Hearing this, Celia could not help but pause. She thought about what happened that night and the calm expression on his face when he heard about the water ghost. ¡°He¡¯s a complete bastard. Maybe what he said was true all along. He actually passed the test of peeling an apple perfectly a long time ago¡­¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, Brian had already rowed the small canoe to the center of the river. There were too many people here and it was not suitable for him to make a move. He was looking for a suitable opportunity. It had been more than ten minutes since they had lost contact with the underwater crew, but because they had brought professional diving equipment, they could still barely hold on. ¡°Left Oculus of God is really useful. Let¡¯s see where you can run to.¡± After chasing the white figure at the bottom of the river, it soon disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. At this moment, the water ghost also noticed something strange on the river. No matter how it changed direction, Brian always followed it easily, as if he had placed a tracker on it. This time, he had obtained more than ten strong men. As long as he devoured these people, he would have a chance of breaking through to the Grade C Spirit Ghost realm. At that moment, the water ghost was not willing to bother about anything else. However, it could no longer leave as it wished. There was a small tail following it along the river. But did Brian just want to simply tail the water ghost? Obviously not. Now that they were out of everyone¡¯s sight, the show could begin! ¡°Evil water ghost! Please accept the gift of handsome Brian from the 21st century!¡± Brian laughed and undid his belt skillfully. He targetted the position of the water ghost and attacked it. Flying straight down to his heart¡¯s content. Ding! Exterminate a trace of ghost aura, gained ghost aura+5 ~ Brian was delighted. It worked. As a young man who had transmigrated from the 21st century, Brian had heard from his friends in the Ancient Eastern Kingdom that men were born with Yang energy, and boys¡¯ urine had the title of pure Yang water, which could be used to harm demons. In the face of some not-so-powerful demon ghosts, child pee was the nemesis of demon ghosts. Brian¡¯s 26-year-old urine made the Grade D Evil Water Ghost almost unable to withstand it. The flustered and exasperated water ghost was drenched by the child¡¯s urine and its hidden ghost body was forced to reveal itself. The water ghost cried out in anger. ¡°D*mn Brian! Come down if you have the guts. What kind of hero are you to stand on a boat and attack ghosts?¡± The water ghost¡¯s pale face was filled with anger and malevolence. He stared straight at Brian. There was no light in his eyes. His entire body was swollen from the blisters. His current appearance was extremely terrifying! Brian ignored the water ghost¡¯s provocation and continued to spray his water dragon. He was having a good time. After trapping a dozen or so unconscious humans in the water, the water ghost scrambled around to avoid Brian¡¯s attacks. At this moment, the water ghost was really suffering. It was drenched by the 26-year-old urine of the boy. In an instant, white smoke was emitted and its flesh was corroded by several mottled holes. ¡°Hehe! Try the boy pee that handsome Brian has kept for twenty-six years. Not everyone has this opportunity!¡± Through the Left Oculus of God, Brian could read the ghost aura on the Water Ghost. The dense ghost aura was decreasing. This was exactly the effect he wanted! ¡°Ding! Host has eliminated part of the ghost aura. Ghost aura+5 ~+5 ~+5¡­¡± A few minutes later, the water slowed. Aiya! What a pity! It had only been a short while, but it was already gone. If he had known that a child¡¯s urine was so effective, he could be stored in advance. Brian, who had not had enough, regretfully pulled on his belt. Taking advantage of this break, the water ghost did not even care about the food in the water and hurriedly fled for its life. The speed of the water ghost in the water was extremely fast. In an instant, it flew more than ten meters. Even the fastest speedboat in the world could not match the movement speed of the water ghost that had the advantage in the water. ¡°Damn it! Damn Brian, I¡¯ll remember you!¡± ¡®You want to leave now? Dream on!¡¯ The aura of the water ghost had been reduced to the minimum and Brian could start working. ¡°Ding! System detected that the ghost aura of the Water Ghost is too low. Mirror Technique can be used!¡± Brian smiled at the system prompt. He was waiting for this moment! In the beginning, because Brian¡¯s level was one level lower than that of the Water Ghost, the only two skills he had were useless. Now, after he spilled his child urine, the opportunity finally came. Brian blew out a cloud of smoke comfortably and playfully hit the use button for the Mirror Technique. ¡°Beep! Host has obtained the power of the Water Ghost with the Mirror Technique. The power of the Water Ghost has increased by 100%, time limit: 30 minutes¡­¡± Brian was a little excited! This was the first time he had used the Mirror Technique ever since he had obtained it. A strange energy instantly enveloped his body. Brian felt the river calling to him. At this time, the rapid river water was like a docile sheep in his eyes. Without further hesitation, Brian made a perfect jump and dived gracefully into the water like a diver. ¡°Roar! Begin!¡± As soon as he said that, there was a whoosh and a splash of water quickly streaked across the river. After obtaining the power of a water ghost, Brian was like a natural king of water. In a breath, he rushed behind the water ghost. ¡°Damn! Is he even human?¡± In the eyes of the water ghost, Brian was like a fish, moving quickly in the water. And he was even doing artistic swimming in front of her! Could it be any more exaggerated? Heavens! The water ghost was so shocked that it thought it was seeing things. It began to rub its eyes, forgetting to run for its life. ¡°This is freaking scary. Brian swims faster than me. Is he a water ghost or am I a water ghost?¡± ¡®That¡¯s right, you¡¯re a water ghost!¡¯ Brian, who had been enhanced by energy, was the ancestor of the water ghosts! Due to the use of Mirror Technique, Bryan had the ability of a water ghost, and the system had increased his ability by ten times. After a series of actions, the water ghost in front of him was dumbfounded! Splash! Suddenly, water splashed! Around the empty space, a fist the size of a clay pot appeared and punched the water ghost¡¯s pale face, causing its round face to cave in. ¡°Who? Which f*cker dares to hit me?¡± The water ghost, who had always claimed to be invincible in the water, was also stunned by this sudden punch. It widened its hollow eyes and looked around for the black hand that had ambushed it. Before he could find any traces of the person who had ambushed him, another heavy punch landed on the other side of his face. His face, which had been swollen from being soaked in water for a long time, actually recovered a little from the blow. ¡°Hehe! This ugly water ghost is much more pleasing to the eye now!¡± The next second. Brian instantly appeared behind the water ghost and kicked him a few meters away. At this moment, the water ghost realized that Brian was missing, and it thought that Brian was the one who ambushed it! ¡°Damn it! If you have the ability, come out and fight me fair and square. What kind of hero sneaks an attack from behind!¡± Hero? Brian quickly turned into a white wave and sent the water ghost flying out of the water. ¡°What hero? I¡¯m not a hero. I¡¯m the handsome Sir Brian!¡± ¡°A mere Water Ghost dares to say that in front of me? Aren¡¯t you afraid that the wind will cut your tongue?¡± The situation had been completely reversed. The Water Ghost¡¯s world was now Brian¡¯s advantageous battlefield. Brian used the advantage of the water to ¡°take care¡± of the water ghost. He waved his fists and shouted. ¡°This punch is for those who were hurt by you. This punch is for the people you dragged down earlier. This kick is for the lady in high heels¡­¡± ¡°What lady in high heels?¡± The water ghost cried out in grievance. ¡°What? You dare to talk back? Take another punch from me¡­¡± The water ghost was speechless. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Just like that, it was a long night. Time passed amidst the water ghosts¡¯ wails and angry cries. After about ten minutes, the water ghost¡¯s voice became softer and softer. In the end, all that was left was a soft hum! On the other side, after Brian left, everyone on the riverbank fell silent. Celia was surrounded by a dozen armed guards, their black muzzles aimed at the river. It was as though he would shoot without hesitation if there were any abnormal movements on the river. After what had happened earlier, everyone¡¯s sense of danger had risen. A group of guards had set up a cordon on the riverbank. It had been half an hour since Brian left. Although no one spoke, they could hear each other¡¯s anxious heartbeats. ¡°What time is it now?¡± Celia asked absentmindedly. ¡°Exactly 1 AM, Miss Celia!¡± Had it been so long? How long had it been? Why hadn¡¯t she seen that person yet? ¡®Was I wrong? Was he just a liar?¡¯ More than ten people had been dragged away by the water ghost. Could Brian have been captured by the water ghost? Thinking of this, Celia, who had been confident in Brian, suddenly became worried. If not for the guards stopping her, Celia would have taken her men into the water to search. ¡°Big liar. Brian, you¡¯re a big liar. Then you¡¯re not only a big liar, you¡¯re also a complete jerk!¡± ¡°Brian, you bastard!¡± Just as Celia was roaring at the river, something strange suddenly happened in the turbulent river. ¡°Miss! Look!¡± The member of the paranormal club, Nick, who was holding a camera, was the first to notice something unusual. He could not help but exclaim! Although it was not obvious, there was something strange about the river. A white vortex suddenly appeared in the middle of the river. The vortex was growing larger and larger at a visible rate. Before long, a huge vortex gradually formed in the river, about ten meters in length. It gave everyone the feeling that there was a huge monster swimming at the bottom of the water. Waves of white waves rose with every move and water splashed everywhere. When the people in the broadcast room saw this scene, they were also shocked. They could feel the weirdness even through the screen. This was not something science could explain. The hundreds of thousands of viewers watching the live broadcast began to speculate one after another as to what had caused the white waves and the huge vortex. Most of the people in the live-stream believed that it was the water ghost¡ªthe water ghost had appeared again. There were even some people who publicly lied in the live-stream, saying that this was the illusion created by the host to deliberately mystify things. The live-stream was divided into two sides. But no matter which side it was, they were all shocked. At this moment, the timid audience had already silently closed their eyes. It was as if an earth-shattering beast was about to come out and hurt them. The people on the riverbank who had personally experienced the atmosphere of the scene saw this strange spectacle more vividly than the audience in the live-stream. Of course, what was different from them was that Celia and the others started from being puzzled to gradually being stunned by the strange scene before them. The shocked crowd did not even realize that their clothes were drenched by the splattering water. Their eyes were fixed on the changes in the river. This was not a matter of courage. This was the first normal reaction of humans when they faced the unknown. ¡°Miss! It might be dangerous to stay here. Let¡¯s go!¡± The well-trained guards regained their senses immediately and covered Celia and the others as they retreated to the shore. Just as everyone was gradually retreating from the riverbank, a familiar voice came from the center of the river. ¡°Lady in high heels, your people are all here. Aren¡¯t you going to save them?¡± This voice? ¡°Big liar¡­ Mr. Brian, you¡¯re still alive?¡± Celia asked in a trembling voice, as if she was unsure. ¡°Hehe! It¡¯s the real Brian!¡± Whoosh¡ª The white waves in the water suddenly increased in intensity as they gradually covered the riverbank! Everyone turned back to look. The dozen or so missing people who were hiding underwater had already been sent to the shore by the powerful waves. ¡°Save them, save them!''¡± Under Celia¡¯s command, the group began an orderly transfer of the wounded to the vehicle. At this moment, the vortex in the center of the river had already begun to subside. The gigantic vortex began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. The boundless waves also gradually stopped. All the people who had been verified had been rescued. Other than a brief moment of unconsciousness, they were not in any danger. Meanwhile, Celia¡¯s heart, which was hanging in the air, did not relax like everyone else. Instead, she stared intently at the movement on the river as if she was searching for something. Regretfully, when calmness returned and the water returned to its usual state, she did not see that figure. ¡®Where¡¯s that big liar Mr Brian?¡¯ She could clearly hear Brian¡¯s voice. Why hadn¡¯t he appeared yet? Was there an accident? Through the screen, the audience in the live-stream could feel the girl¡¯s complicated feelings. Perhaps after hearing Celia¡¯s inner voice, a deep and pleasant song suddenly could be heard from afar. ¡°I strolled in the Grodos River, a beautiful night in the moonlight. I accidentally met a young girl in high heels. The breeze was not as cool as her eyebrows, and the bright moonlight also stopped for her. I was singing for her. The moon brought a hint of sweetness. Ah! Beautiful lady in high heels! ¡­ All I can say is, I¡¯m sorry. Handsome Brian is a man you can¡¯t have even if you try your best.¡± Brian was riding in his little leather dinghy, unhurriedly rowing from a distance. His voice had no profound skill or innate quality, but it fascinated the viewers of the live stream. ¡°He¡¯s indeed our hero. Even his singing is so good ~¡± ¡°The lyrics is very touching. I almost thought it was going to be a live-stream confession. What¡¯s with this sudden twist?¡± ¡°Same here, but I like the last sentence the most. Handsome Brian, hahaha!¡± ¡­ The viewers in the live-stream were worried about Brian, but when they saw such a strange scene on camera, the comments exploded. Celia, who had been immersed by the song, was feeling pleased with herself. When she heard the last classic line, she had a look of surprise on her face. But Brian knew all this and he continued humming his own self-created tune, happily paddling along the river. His mood was exceptionally good when he heard the notification. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on successfully subduing the water ghost. You have transferred it into the ghost realm. You have obtained the power of the water ghost and your abilities have increased by ten times!¡± ¡°Ding! Congratulations to host for completing the upgrade mission and successfully upgrading to a Grade D Ghost Warlock. Reward: 500 attribute points ,+10 spiritual power ,+10 physical strength¡­¡± Ding! The host has been upgraded to a Grade D Ghost Warlock. You have received six months of lifespan. Please keep it up. Brian opened the system panel and grinned from ear to ear. Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Host¡¯s Name: Brian Rating: Grade D Demon Warlock Ghost aura: 350 / 800 (Satisfied the ghost aura for this grade, able to apply for an upgrade. Able to apply for an upgrade to a Grade D warlock after 800 ghost aura.) Lifespan: Eight months and 28 days. (As the host becomes stronger, it can gradually increase.)

(Please click¡­ Open!) ¡°Note: The host has received an increase in mental strength and physical strength. His physique has already undergone some changes. His mental strength and his physical strength are both 5% stronger than an ordinary person¡¯s.¡± Firstly, after completing the mission, his level had also risen to Grade D. The most obvious thing was that his lifespan had increased by half a year and he had also obtained the power of a water ghost which allowed him to move in the water. ¡®Hehe! Then does that mean I am now a mermaid?¡¯ Brian laughed! Although this trip was not smooth at first, the result was pretty good. The days that he had been counting down suddenly increased by another half a year. He felt like a penniless beggar who suddenly become a billionaire. Brian thought and laughed to himself. ¡°Oh! My dear friend, what are you laughing at? Are you sure you don¡¯t want to share such a funny thing with me?¡± Brian was stunned when he heard a familiar voice. Then, he returned to his annoying self. He jumped out of the boat and squeezed the water from his clothes as he walked towards his car. ¡°Dear lady in high heels, handsome Brian still has something to do. I¡¯ve saved them, there¡¯s no need to thank me. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll invite you to the castle to watch some imported movies.¡± Who wants to watch a movie with you? Speaking of which, what did you sing just now? Don¡¯t you want to explain it to me? ¡°This is a live broadcast. Mr. Brian, do you have anything to say?¡± Celia¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the camera equipment, and he stopped Brian, who was about to leave. ¡°You¡­ What¡¯s going on? Tell me!¡± Initially, she had thought that she would interrogate him properly after this fellow came up. However, when she really came face to face with him, all those words were thrown to the back of her mind. Nick raised the camera and gave Brian a close-up after hearing what Celia said. Brian appeared nonchalant in the magnified camera. ¡°Oh! Your men were entangled by the seaweed underwater. I simply cleaned up the seaweed when a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared and flushed them up.¡± ¡°What else?¡± ¡°That¡¯s all!¡± Brian spread his hands. Was that really the case? Everyone expressed their doubts. If they opened up the bullet screen of the live-stream, they would see question marks all over the screen. Even a fool would not believe such a reason. Of course, Celia would not believe it either. ¡°Are you sure, Mr. Brian?¡± ¡°Yes! I¡¯m very sure!¡± ¡°What about the so-called water ghosts?¡± Celia asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. The water monsters in the news had been causing fear in Gro City. The person closest to the water ghost could only be Brian who went into the water to save them. Was there a water ghost? What did the water ghost look like? It had become the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°The water ghost has already been subdued by this handsome man¡¯s domineering aura. From now on, it won¡¯t come out to harm anyone. Please rest assured!¡± Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Brian made a victory gesture and coolly got into his beloved car. Actually, Brian did not lie. He just hid part of the truth. Firstly, he had indeed cleaned up the seaweed. Secondly, a huge whirlpool wave had flushed those people up. However, he did not mention that he had beaten up the water ghost and used the power of the water ghost to control the water flow to create a phenomenon. Since the mission was completed, it was time for him to leave. ¡°I¡¯m not lying, yes! Handsome Brian doesn¡¯t lie, hehe!¡± With that, he turned around dashingly and drove off. The cameraman turned on the live-stream¡¯s bullet screen and all sorts of comments appeared. ¡°Hey! May I ask if everyone thinks that the water ghost really exists? Was the vortex phenomenon that happened tonight caused by the water ghost?¡± ¡°Personally, I think it should be an artificial effect or an illusion created by a high-powered machine. I already know the general principles behind it, so I can do a live-stream demonstration tomorrow.¡± ¡°Nonsense. Mr. Brian is a member of our Red Fire Paranormal Team. We¡¯re used to these supernatural things. There are pictures and the truth!¡± ¡°Miss Celia, what do you think of today¡¯s incident? Is it convenient for you to answer?¡± At the cameraman¡¯s signal, Celia forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯m just as curious about what happened today as everyone else, but I can¡¯t give everyone a real answer because I didn¡¯t see the water ghost with my own eyes.¡± Seeing that Brian ignored her after returning, Celia was not in the mood to continue the live stream. She looked at the distant car and fell into deep thought. ¡°In that case, if there is time later, I will continue to follow up on this matter. Let¡¯s meet again next time!¡± Before anyone could react. Celia hurriedly closed the livestream. At this point, the sensational live broadcast of the water ghost ended. Brian, who had left, did not know that his actions today had been quickly spread through the live broadcast. Not long after, the Water Ghost incident started to spread rapidly on the Internet. Soon, it swept through the entire Gro City and even the entire Bran Empire. Brian¡¯s name began to appear in major news articles and magazines, and it was definitely on the front page. At this moment, the protagonist who had caused this storm was happily taking a hot bath at home, humming a song he created today. ¡°Hey! My friend, you¡¯ve become an internet celebrity now. Your heroic appearance is simply too handsome.¡± Brian came out with a towel draped over his shoulders. Jesse, who was in the living room, went to him. He opened his mouth like a loaded machine gun. ¡°Friend, how did you do it? Is the water ghost a ferocious monster that drinks human blood? By the way, tell me more about how you subdued the water ghost and successfully rescued everyone underwater.¡± Jesse kept talking and Brian listened quietly. For one thing, he did not know where to start and for another, the rhythm of Jesse¡¯s rapping did not give him a chance to interject. Even if he did not get a response, Jesse still spoke passionately. ¡°My friend, you¡¯re right. A water ghost is not scary because I, Brian, am its ancestor!¡± Brian smiled at the memory of the water ghost being flattened in pain. ¡°Oh! Brian, are you serious?¡± ¡°Yes! My friend, handsome Brian never lies to his friends.¡± Hearing this, Jesse rushed out of the door as if he had discovered a new continent. ¡°Oh my god! What the Internet said is true. My friend Brian is really the ancestor of angels¡­¡± ¡°This is too exciting! I want to share this important news with you and my family. They will definitely be shocked!¡± Watching Jesse leave excitedly, Brian rubbed his nose resentfully. ¡°Did I say ¡®angel¡¯? I didn¡¯t, did I? Yes, Jesse heard it wrong himself. It¡¯s none of my business¡ª¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After sending Jesse off, Brian ate something light. After packing up, he entered the Ghost Realm. It was almost daytime in the real world but the realm was filled with sunlight all day long. He did not know if it was an illusion, but the environment seemed to have changed a little. However, he could not tell what exactly had changed. ¡°Hey! System!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a white cloud appeared before him. The system explained after listening to Brian¡¯s question. ¡°Host, you don¡¯t have to be suspicious. As the number of demon ghosts subdued in the ghost realm increases, the attributes of the realm will automatically increase. When the ghosts in the ghost realm reach a certain level, the realm will create a real world.¡± This cheating system actually had such a function? If that was the case, wouldn¡¯t he be able to establish a world of demons and ghosts here? It sounded really exciting. Brian was happy for a while. He was embarrassed. What was the use of turning this place into a world? He could not ascend the throne here. Brian shook his head with a wry smile. What he did not know was that this space that was transforming had become an important help to him in the future. ¡°Oh right, where is the water ghost I subdued today? Why don¡¯t I see it?¡± After Brian entered the space, he searched a few times but did not see the Water Ghost sign. ¡°The water ghost killed dozens of people before it was subdued by the host. It is now imprisoned in the dungeon.¡± What? There was such a thing as a dungeon? Why did it feel like it was the same as the law enforcement agencies in his previous life? When criminals were caught by the police, they would be detained, and if it was serious, they would even be punished. So his act of catching the water ghost was equivalent to being a police officer! ¡°Ghost Catching Police Brian, this is an interesting job!¡± ¡­ With a thought, Brian reached the so-called dungeon. In the darkness, a torch was set up every few steps. After walking for several hundred meters along the dark brick path, they finally escaped the darkness. A simple underground cage appeared in front of Brian. According to the system¡¯s introduction, this place was known as the Ghost Cage. As its name suggested, it was the place where the evil ghosts were imprisoned. The dungeon was located a hundred meters deep in the ghost realm. There were a total of five floors of prisons and 108 prisons. Each layer could accommodate 108 prisoners. And according to the severity of the crime and the lives on their hands, they would be imprisoned separately. According to the information on the system, Brian understood the purpose of the dungeon. ¡°Note: Humans are divided into good and bad, and ghosts are also divided into good and evil. Only ghosts with good intentions and without blood on their hands can have the right to stay on the ground. On the contrary, those evil thoughts are everywhere. After those evil ghosts are subdued by the host, they will appear in the dungeon and use all their time and ghost aura to cleanse their sins.¡± In other words, good ghosts could live freely in buildings, as if they were in heaven. Evil ghosts, on the other hand, would be imprisoned in this dungeon where they could not see the light all day long. They would rely on the evil ghost aura to cleanse their sins. Now, the water ghost had become the first prisoner since the opening of the ghost realm. The water ghost had already killed dozens of people, so he was imprisoned on the first floor of the dungeon. At this moment, the water ghost in the prison was tied up by dozens of chains. Its originally pale face was now even paler, and the ghostly aura on its body, mixed with the smell of blood, flowed out continuously from the chains. ¡°Ding! Water Ghost had cleansed a small portion of the evil, host¡¯s ghost aura+5 ~ It seemed that no matter whether one was a human or a ghost, one could not do anything outrageous! The difference between the water ghost and the Mirror Ghost Lamborghini is the best example. ¡°Hehe! Damn water ghost, we meet again!¡± Brian¡¯s voice sounded like a demon to the water ghost. The water ghost, who was tied up and unable to move, shrank back in fear. A moment later. Brian sighed and walked out of the dungeon. ¡­ While Brian was resting in the demon realm. Some things had quietly changed. The second day arrived. Early in the morning, the quiet streets were filled with people who had woken up early. The streets were bustling with traffic as usual. The largest commercial building in Gro City. In a luxurious office, Old Bu was resting on a leather office chair. He was in a good mood after finishing a big deal. He sipped his handcrafted coffee and looked at the financial report of the month with a contented expression. Bang! Suddenly, there was a violent sound of the door being pushed open. A figure suddenly barged in. Old Bu¡¯s smiling face suddenly tensed up. As a business legend in Gro City, Old Bu¡¯s inspirational story had already spread throughout the country. In his early years, he did not enjoy such glory. Born in the slums of Gro City, Old Bu took 20 years to become the richest man in Gro City from a poor kid. During this time, he had brushed past leather shoes to deliver goods, set up a stall to wash cars¡­ To be able to become the richest man in Gro City from a child who lived in a slum, he relied on his extraordinary courage and business sense. The most important thing to him was to follow the rules, especially in the company¡¯s regulations. All the employees in Old Bu¡¯s company knew that as long as the sky did not collapse, they could not enter Old Bu¡¯s office without permission. This was also Old Bu¡¯s firm rule! Now that someone had broken the rules, Old Bu naturally did not have a good expression. ¡°Hey, old man! Something big has happened. Are you going to interfere or not?¡± The person who barged in was a woman with a striking appearance. She had exquisite makeup on her oval face. Her short hair and tight leather suit made her look even more capable and experienced. People who did not know her actual age would definitely not be able to tell that she was close to thirty years old. Old man? Only she dared to call him old man! Old Bu, who had been looking solemn, suddenly put on a smiling face. ¡°Oh! Selina! My dear daughter!¡± If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely find it unbelievable. This business legend had no temper in front of this woman. At this moment, he was like a kind old man. The woman named Selina was Old Butch¡¯s eldest daughter and Brian¡¯s half-sister. Old Bu was also puzzled. His eldest daughter had been working in the government department and had not visited him for a long time. This was the first time she came to the company to look for him. ¡°Dear Selina! Why are you here? Why didn¡¯t you call me before coming? I¡¯ll get someone to prepare your favorite pastries!¡± Unlike Old Bu, who was grinning, the woman named Selina had a gloomy look on her face. ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood. I¡¯m not eating!¡± ¡°Not even your favorite egg pie?¡± Old Bu smiled awkwardly. ¡°I said I won¡¯t eat it. Why do you have so much nonsense to say!¡± Then, Selina took out a newspaper from her bag and slammed it on the table. ¡°Dear Mr. Old Bu, take a look! Your precious son, my brother, has become a star!¡± ¡°What star? Isn¡¯t Brian studying at the Bluefields College?¡± The young man standing at the side of the newspaper was his precious son, Brian. The confused Old Bu glanced at the big headline on the newspaper¡ª¡±The story of the young man who called himself handsome Brian and the water ghost!¡± As he read on, Old Bu¡¯s expression became darker. It was unknown which editor wrote this article, but every word of the article was full of mockery towards Brian. Brian was actually written as the mastermind behind the Water Ghost incident! At the end of the article, he wrote, ¡°There was no water monster from beginning to end. All the incidents were planned by this young man named Brian. He first hired people to kidnap dozens of ordinary citizens to create water ghosts to harm people. Finally, he appeared in the name of the savior to achieve his unspeakable purpose!¡± ¡°Oh! Damn it! Someone actually dared to frame my innocent child. Unforgivable! Unforgivable!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The Bluefields College was bustling with activities. In the corridors of the college, on the roads, on the playground, in the classrooms, and so on, people were talking about the same hot news on the Internet. Other than the water ghost incident that caused a huge commotion recently, what else was there! ¡°Hey! Have you heard? There¡¯s a terrible incident in Gro City. It¡¯s said that dozens of people have met an accident in the water and are still missing. I think they were probably eaten by the monsters in the water.¡± ¡°The news says that it¡¯s the water ghost¡¯s doing!¡± ¡°This is too scary. Whenever I see water, I feel an inexplicable sense of fear. It¡¯s like there¡¯s a pair of eyes staring at me in the water!¡± ¡°Mark, is this why you haven¡¯t taken a bath for the past few days?¡± Hahaha¡­ Mark silently cursed in his heart. ¡®Actually, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to bathe. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m lazy. It doesn¡¯t have anything to do with water ghosts!¡¯ Amidst the laughter, the student named Mark lowered his head in embarrassment. At this moment, someone continued to discuss. ¡°Oh my goodness, do you think there are really water ghosts in this world?¡± ¡°There are all kinds of strange things in this world. Even aliens exist. It¡¯s not strange for water ghosts to exist.¡± When Mark heard this, he pretended to agree mysteriously. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. The relevant departments and television stations have long confirmed its existence. It¡¯s said that they even sent out Special Department to deal with it. What a pity¡­¡± What was a pity? Could it be that this guy knew something behind the scenes?! Upon hearing this, everyone cast curious gazes over. Mark did not go straight to the point. Instead, he mumbled and rubbed his flat stomach. ¡°Aiya! I came in such a hurry that I haven¡¯t had breakfast today. My stomach is empty and I can¡¯t remember anything!¡± ¡°What a coincidence. I bought an extra serving today. I was worried that I wouldn¡¯t be able to finish it.¡± Mark gladly accepted the gifts from his classmates. As he ate, he spoke in a low voice. ¡°My aunt¡¯s son has a friend in the army. I heard about this from him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the Special Department had arranged for someone to kill the water ghost, but the strange thing is that before they could find the location of the water ghost, the water ghost was destroyed by a young hero named Brian. He even rescued more than ten people who were captured by the water ghost. There¡¯s a picture of the truth!¡± The image of Brian saving someone by the river appeared on the screen. ¡­ What? The water ghost had been taken by someone else, and the other party was a youth? When they heard this, everyone broke out into a flurry of discussion. Some people who had watched the live broadcast and related consultations also stood forward. A commotion broke out as discussions broke out! ¡°Are they talking about me?¡± A young man wearing a pair of sunglasses walked up to them and stopped in his tracks. This was going to be interesting! Just as he stopped, a pair of large hands skillfully climbed onto his shoulders. ¡°Hey! Brian, my dear friend, you¡¯re now a public figure on campus. How do you feel?¡± Jesse¡¯s shout caught everyone¡¯s attention. Everyone looked at the handsome young man in front of them and felt that he looked familiar. However, they could not tell where they had seen him before. Of course he looked familiar. He was the protagonist they were talking about! At this moment, Brian only wanted to say, ¡°Jesse, you can recognize me even with sunglasses on. Your eyes are the best!¡± ¡°Haha! It feels¡­ a little sarcastic!¡± It was definitely sarcastic, it was a sarcasm not because of Jesse¡¯s sunglasses, but he was completely shocked by Jesse¡¯s timely appearance! There was no lack of viewers who had seen the live broadcast of the water ghost. Gradually, some people began to recognize this youth. Among them, Mark excitedly pointed at him. ¡°Oh! Everyone, look! This is my idol, Mr. Brian, who fought the water ghosts bravely.¡± Whoosh¡ª A group of people rushed over excitedly. Mark¡¯s words were like pushing down the first domino, causing a domino of different reactions. What should he do now? Of course he had to run! ¡°Brian! I¡¯m going to your house to watch a movie tonight. Remember to leave the door open for me!¡± Jesse shouted at the figure that had already run far away. ¡®My friend! It¡¯s a waste of your talent to watch a movie. I think you should act with your talented acting skills.¡¯ Brian ran hundreds of meters away, turned around, and made a victory gesture. However, he had clearly underestimated their enthusiasm. Oh my god! You guys are still following me! A strange scene appeared on the campus. A young man was sprinting at a speed of a hundred meters race, followed by a group of students. Those who did not know better would think that the they were taking part in the marathon! Brian finally understood why some celebrities had to hire more bodyguards. It was not only for show, but also because they were forced by others to do so. Oh! Seems like it was not easy to become famous! Finally, after a lot of effort, Brian finally reached his classroom when the bell rang. It had to be said that people nowadays were simply too crazy. If it were not for his good skills, he would really be treated as an animal and watched for free. Keeping a low profile and doing things in a high-profile manner had always been Brian¡¯s motto! However, after that high-profile live broadcast, it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile. ¡­ ¡°Jimmy¡ª¡± ¡°Here!¡± ¡°Vacto ~¡± ¡°Here!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Currently, it was no longer popular to name names in many colleges, but today¡¯s class was an accident. One would never be able to escape the attendance taking in Luciani¡¯s class! As the stern voice of Teacher Luciani fell, the students stood up and sat down reluctantly. ¡°Brian ~¡± After Brian¡¯s name rang three times in the classroom, an absent-minded teenager slowly stood up. ¡°You¡¯re Brian?¡± ¡°Yes, the real one! Teacher Luciani!¡± He wore so much to hide his identity, was he a celebrity? Everyone looked curiously at the boy in sunglasses with a strange look in their eyes. Why did this celebrity¡¯s name sound so familiar? The brave man who fought the water ghost was also called Brian. Could it be the person in front of them? ¡°Brian! This is the classroom. Please take off your sunglasses. Immediately!¡± Brian readily removed his sunglasses. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect to be discovered despite putting in so much effort into hiding. Since that¡¯s the case, I might as well lay my cards on the table and stop pretending.¡¯ ¡®That¡¯s right! The handsome Brian is me, I am the handsome Brian who did good deeds without leaving my name!¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s really him! Brian!¡± ¡°He¡¯s the hero who saved people in the water. Oh! My God, I¡¯m in the same class as hero Brian!¡± Although the students in this class were new students and they were not familiar with each other, Brian¡¯s story had spread quickly in the Bluefields College. ¡°What is it? It¡¯s class time now. Sit back down!¡± The voice from the podium suppressed the excitement in the classroom. Brian exhaled slowly. The morning sunlight shone into the classroom, as if it was covered with a thin layer of golden gauze, shining brightly. The audience was not in the mood to listen to the lecture. Instead, they would occasionally cast curious glances at Brian. Unlike other curious students, Brian, who was sitting at the end of the row, was already in a trance. Today was a science class. As an outstanding youth who had transmigrated from the 21st century, Brian had long memorized these scientific concepts. Brian was not interested in the basic theories in the textbooks at all. Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Blair stared absent-mindedly out the window. He could feel that the strange aura in the air was even thicker than a few days ago. Even though he was sitting in the classroom right now, he still felt a sense of oppression. It was not because he was famous, but because he was at a loss about what to do next! Recently, there had been many ghost incidents in Gro City. Without a doubt, it meant that the era of spiritual energy recovery was approaching. He could deal with the low-level demons now, but with the passage of time, more and more powerful demons would appear, so Brian had to think of a way to deal with them in advance. As for how to deal with it, he had to plan carefully. As a Grade D Ghost Warlock, if he wanted to plan ahead of time, he thought of two methods. First, improving his ability as soon as possible. This way, even if a powerful demon appeared, he would have the ability to deal with it. Second, he could spread the news of the resurrection of Spirit Qi and the emergence of the demon, so that everyone would be prepared. These were the only things he could think of and do. Brian had a vague feeling that the Special Department of the country had also seen the signs. It was evident from the reaction of the officials when the water ghost harmed people last time. Someone would soon come knocking on his door! ¡°Hmm?¡± While he was thinking, a heavy textbook flew accurately at Brian¡¯s head. After the system¡¯s physical and mental strength upgrades, Brian¡¯s reaction speed had reached the level of an ordinary athlete. How could such a child¡¯s play get him? With a slap sound, the textbook flew back unknowingly. ¡®Small fry? Playing sneak attacks with me?!¡¯ Seeing that her attacks that she had tried time and time again did not work, Luciani¡¯s cold voice was heard! ¡°Brian! We¡¯re talking about the difference between materialism and idealism. Please get up and answer your opinion about the water ghost incident on the hot topic of the Internet?¡± On the podium, through the thick glasses, one could see the anger in the beautiful teacher, Luciani¡¯s, eyes. Was it just a simple question? Of course, it was not that simple. This beautiful teacher was not only the science teacher of their class, but also the director of the entire first year students. Brian had the impression that she was a woman who combined sexiness and toughness. Her plan was something that ordinary people would not have expected! But since someone had issued a challenge, Brian naturally would not cower! ¡°Eh¡­ the water ghost incident!¡± This obviously aroused the curiosity of the students. Everyone turned to look at Brian. The beautiful teacher, Luciani, spoke lightly, but her face was full of provocation. ¡°Brian, feel free to speak your mind. Although this class is about materialism, I can still accept new things.¡± Teacher Luciani happened to see the live-stream yesterday. From the beginning to the end, she had always thought that it was just a trick to attract attention. She had always been skeptical about whether there really was a water ghost. But now, her student was playing these tricks. She could not tolerate it. Luciani had made up her mind that no matter what Brian said next, she would mock him to the extreme and then ask him to copy the materialist argument a hundred times. Just the thought of it was satisfying! But how could the clever Brian not understand her thoughts? ¡°System! Use the Ghost Deceit Spell!¡± Note: Ghost Deceit Spell is upgraded to intermediate-level. Host¡¯s words also have a certain effect on humans. ¡°Skill usage successful!¡± Brian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. With the amazing skill of the system, it was hard to say who would mess with who. ¡­ Ding ding ding¡ª Just as Brian was about to answer the question, the bell rang at an inappropriate time. Clearly, the bell signaling the end of class had come at the wrong time. At the very least, this beautiful teacher was very displeased. What she did not know was that this sudden ringtone allowed her to escape. The ringing stopped and Brian quietly put away his trickery skill. A strange voice came from the podium! ¡°Hmph! Brian, I hope you can focus on your studies. Don¡¯t dream of starting a live stream to become a celebrity!¡± Luciani snorted and walked out of the classroom. Brian could not help but smile bitterly. His tough beautiful teacher must have watched his live stream. Everything was a coincidence. It was all a result of the circumstances! The waves of the live-stream had already reached the school. The internet was probably going crazy. It seemed like he had underestimated the power of the Internet. ¡®Oh! It is even more interesting now!¡¯ Fortunately, he had deliberately chosen a remote place to attack. If others knew that he had tortured the water ghost in the water, the Special Department would arrest him and investigate him. Although he wanted to publicize the matter of the ghosts so that everyone would be more on guard, he did not want to use such a method to show off. ¡®The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.¡¯ He understood that. The moment class ended, the classroom became lively. The students gathered around Brian. Brian did not shy away from the topic. He spoke frankly and confidently, and the special talk caused the classroom to be filled with cheers. A few pretty girls even boldly invited him to dinner. Brian responded with a few words and took a few photos with everyone¡¯s enthusiasm. Just like that, more and more students surrounded the classroom. All of a sudden, the students who were originally huddled together opened up a path. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Everyone, stand against the wall!¡± Without any warning, a short and deep voice sounded from outside the classroom. A dozen armed men who looked like soldiers scanned the crowd, then headed straight for Brian. The black muzzle of the gun pointed downwards. It seemed that these people had no ill intentions. ¡°Brian, we are the Special Operations Team of the Bran Empire. We have some confidential matters that require your cooperation. Please come with us!¡± It was better to arrive early than to arrive at the right time. What was supposed to come had come! Brian did not panic when he saw these people. It was as if he was prepared. He stood up calmly and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m happy to cooperate with you, soldier!¡± Surrounded by armed soldiers, Brian left the Bluefields College. The group of dumbfounded students started discussing again. ¡°Oh, how awkward! Did Brian break the law? Why else would they send so many soldiers to arrest him?¡± ¡°Hey! Student, do you have eyes on your butt? You can¡¯t tell how friendly were those soldiers when they invited Bryan to leave. How can you say that they arrested Bryan?¡± ¡°Boss Brian¡¯s heroic deeds have shocked the country. He must have been recognized by some big shot who wanted to recruit him¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. How could Brian break the law when he¡¯s so handsome? Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± See! In such a short time, Brian already had his own fans protecting him. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The water ghost incident caused an uproar in the Special Department of the Bran Empire. As the protagonist of the water ghost incident, Brian was naturally related. The Special Department did not take the news seriously at first. They only wanted to find the creatures in the water and the missing people. However, after a thorough investigation, they found out that the water ghost had really disappeared. Combined with the livestream found by the information center, the higher-ups of the Special Department immediately locked onto the young man named Brian. The Special Department had special privileges. They easily found Brian at the Bluefields College. ¡®D*mn! Am I going to some incredible place?!¡¯ Everything went dark. Brian walked out and had his eyes covered in black cloth. In the pitch-black darkness, he was helped onto a rumbling helicopter. Brian now knew that the place they were going to was definitely not near. Otherwise, why would they use helicopters? After about an hour, his vision cleared up. Brian squinted around. What greeted his eyes was an empty room with two tables and chairs facing each other. There was nothing around. While Brian was looking around, a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked in. ¡°Hello! I¡¯m the captain of this special mission team, Victor! I¡¯m sorry to meet you in this manner!¡± ¡°Handsome Brian! I¡¯m still a student.¡± Brian took Victor¡¯s large calloused hands in a gentlemanly manner and suddenly felt a tremendous force begin to pass through them. ¡®Oh? Want to test my skills?¡¯ Brian¡¯s smile did not falter and he used some force in his hand. Victor felt as if he was holding a pair of iron pliers. He could not move it even if he tried his best. After receiving the ten point physical strength reward from the system last time, Brian¡¯s physical strength had surpassed that of an ordinary human. The concentrated and explosive strength caused the robust Victor to flush. ¡°Hehe! Mr. Brianis a young hero! It¡¯s rare!¡± Seeing Victor¡¯s flushed cheeks, Brian withdrew his hand. ¡°Haha! I¡¯ve always liked to work out since I was young. I¡¯ve trained myself to be quite strong. I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of you.¡± ¡®You call this brute strength?¡¯ ¡®Even an athlete who had been practicing grasping since young might not be better than you.¡¯ Victor quietly hid his trembling right hand behind his back. ¡°Since Mr. Brian is so smart, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. The department hopes to obtain a reasonable explanation for the water monster live-stream.¡± Indeed, they had brought him here because of the water ghost. Brian did not think that it was Celia¡¯s fault. After all, even if there had not been a mistake during the live-stream, he would still be exposed to the authorities in the future. The officials were not fools. It was only a matter of time before they noticed him. He would have to face it sooner or later, so why not let it come earlier? This way, he could also prepare for it! ¡°Explain? Mr. Victor, what kind of explanation do you want?¡± ¡°Firstly, did you destroy the water ghost? Secondly, how did you destroy it? I want to hear the details.¡± ¡°You believe that I can destroy the water ghost? You have to know that there are many different opinions on this matter online. Many people are suspecting that I¡¯m faking it. Aren¡¯t you afraid that my words are fake?¡± ¡°We¡¯re only responsible for understanding the situation. As for whether it¡¯s true or not, someone will naturally verify it. Besides, I believe that Mr. Brian won¡¯t lie here. At the very least, he won¡¯t lie in front of me. Am I right?¡± Their gazes met and an invisible pressure arose spontaneously. ¡°Hahaha! Handsome Brian never lies.¡± Indeed, he was not lying. He was only keeping half of it as per usual. Brian had already prepared his speech about the water ghost. It sounded logical and reasonable. An hour later, Victor looked uncomfortable. He looked at the young man who was blabbering in shock and asked in disbelief, ¡°Are you telling the truth¡­ Does that thing really work on ghosts?¡± ¡°Mm! I don¡¯t know if the rest are useful, but they are quite useful against water ghosts.¡± Brian did not reveal the System¡¯s ability, but in order to dispel the Victor or the people behind Victor¡¯s speculation, he also revealed some valuable information. This also explained why a student like him could deal with a water ghost. When he thought about how all the soldiers in the Special Forces would unlace their belts and kill their enemies when they carried out missions in the future, it was indeed a little strange. Victor looked at the smile on the young man¡¯s face and suddenly felt a chill! Bang! Creak, creak, creak! At this moment, the sound of a door being pushed open could be heard. Brian smiled at the familiar high-heeled frequency. ¡°Fate brings us together from thousands of miles away. It¡¯s amazing that we can meet in such a big city like Gro City!¡± He followed the footsteps. Celia was ushered in by the soldiers. A faint fragrance wafted over and the smile on Brian¡¯s face grew wider. ¡°My dear lady in high heels, may I have the honor to have dinner with you tonight? We can go to my castle. After we finish eating, we can watch an imported movie together!¡± For some reason, every time he met Celia, he would always want to tease her. At that moment, a pleasant ringing sound came from his pocket, interrupting their conversation. ¡°You are my Little Apple, no matter how much I love you, it¡¯s not enough¡­¡±1 Brian awkwardly pressed the answer button. ¡°Hey! I¡¯m handsome Brian!¡± ¡°Celebrity Brian, have you seen the news today?¡± Brian looked at the caller ID on his phone ¡ª Old Bu.He was a little confused. This was indeed his cheap father. Why was there a female voice on the phone? Also, this voice sounded familiar. What did it mean to let him watch the news? ¡°Selina?¡± The other party did not reply and only left a sentence. ¡°I¡¯ll give you an hour to return to the castle. I¡¯ll wait for you there.¡± Beep! Beep! Beep! After some hesitation, the call ended. Because it was on speaker mode, everyone heard their conversation clearly. Victor and the other soldiers were fine, except for Celia, who looked a little upset! Brian was about to explain when Celia covered his eyes with a black cloth. ¡°You bastard, Mr. Brian. You have the best candidate for dinner now. Get lost!¡± Under Celia¡¯s murderous gaze, several soldiers stepped forward to help Brian away. Watching the young man leave, Victor said in a low voice, ¡°Miss! Are we letting him go just like that? What about the next mission?¡± Celia angrily took off her high heels, followed by the sound of two heavy objects hitting the wall. On closer look, the high heels were like sharp blades that were embedded two to three centimeters into the wall. It was very scary! Gulp! What had made this miss angry again? ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t believe that we can successfully complete the mission even without him!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts. Do you have a problem with what I do? If you have a problem with it, feel free to respond to the higher-ups!¡± ¡®But wasn¡¯t this person recommended by you?¡¯ Victor was depressed! Celia coldly snorted. ¡°Hmph! We¡¯ll settle that matter ourselves. Even without him, I can still settle it!¡± Chapter 20 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Today, the castle welcomed two rare guests. Selina and Old Bu were his half-sister and his father in name! ? At this moment, Old Bu and Selina were sizing up Brian as if they were looking at something rare. ¡°Cough, cough! Although handsome Brian is very charming, you don¡¯t have to make such a fuss!¡± Brian coughed awkwardly at their stares. On the way there, he had already thought of the reason why the two of them had come. It was probably because of that live stream. Now, he had become half a public figure in Gro City. When he left school, a few fanatical fans chased after him to take photos. If he had not run so fast, his pants would have been ripped off. He pulled them to the sofa and sat down. Brian explained the whole story, confirming the existence of the water ghosts and the news that more demons would appear soon. He did not say much about the System. He only vaguely mentioned that he had the ability to deal with demons and ghosts. He told them to be careful and to call him immediately if they encountered anything supernatural. After hearing Brian¡¯s explanation, both of them fell silent. Based on what Brian had said, they would have to be really careful from now on. Most people would find it hard to accept such an unbelievable thing, but Old Bu and Selina had been through a lot, so they were able to digest it quickly. There was a moment of silence. Old Bu, who was drinking alcohol, nodded at Selina. Selina said slowly. ¡°The old man and I have already asked someone to settle the issue with the officials. We will also try our best to publicize some of the information on the internet. As for the ghost matter that you mentioned¡­¡± After a few seconds of silence, Selina said angrily, ¡°You can do whatever you want. Call me if you need anything. I have some connections in the government department.¡± The current situation had already exceeded their expectations. They could not interfere even if they wanted to. They could only support them to the best of their abilities. Unconditional support was the greatest sacrifice! Brian, who had always been alone in his previous life, was moved. It was also the first time he felt what family was like. ¡­ ¡°No matter what, whether you want to catch ghosts or save people, old man and I only have one request. We need to ensure our safety before doing these things.¡± ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll complete the mission!¡± Brian smiled and nodded. The two of them had come here mainly to find out what had happened. Now that they knew what had happened, and they could tell that Brian had his own thoughts, the two of them could not say anything else. Selina picked up her backpack and left. ¡°That¡¯s all then! If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± ¡°Hehe! Precious son of mine, I¡¯m leaving too. Remember to look for me if you can solve the problem with money. Our family doesn¡¯t lack money!¡± According to Old Bu¡¯s famous saying, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem. Brian let out a slow breath as he escorted them out the front door. ¡°Hehe! It feels good to have someone supporting you.¡± After the series of events that happened today, Brian had thought things through! If he continued to delay like this, it would definitely not work. He had to make up his mind, because he did not have much time left. Brian decisively took out his phone. Beep beep beep! ¡°Hello, hello! This is the office of the Bluefields College. I am happy to serve you!¡± ¡°Hello! I¡¯m a freshman, Brian. Please help me with the withdrawal procedures¡­¡± Yes, after much consideration, he finally decided to drop out of school. As a young man who had transmigrated from Blue Planet, he had already learned many theories. There was no point in staying any longer. He might as well use his time to do something meaningful! Blufields College¡¯s staff was efficient and soon they had all the necessary paperwork. With a polite goodbye, Brian pocketed his phone with relief. It was over! The beautiful university life that had yet to begin ended just like that! However, he felt that it was a pity, but he did not feel that it was a pity, because there was already something that he needed to do more. With a thought, Brian entered the ghost realm. Brian first greeted the Mirror Ghost Lamborghini, then looked at the water ghosts in the dungeon. Seeing that they were all fine, Brian walked to his exclusive castle in the realm. During this period of time, Brian had been in the ghost realm, constantly familiarizing himself with the use and function of the system. When he reappeared in the real world, it was already a few days later. After knowing that he had quit school, Jesse had come to look for him a few times. However, when he saw that there was no one in the castle, he thought that he had moved away. Gradually, he rarely came here anymore. It was dusk. Brian had dinner. An uninvited guest barged into the castle. The black figure walked over slowly. Even though he had used all his strength to make a sound, it was still barely audible. He could only cling onto the castle¡¯s door and walk forward. ¡°Help!¡± Bright red bloody handprints appeared on the walls that he passed by one by one. The red blood trickled down the walls and eventually formed red lines on the ground. ¡°Help! Mr. Brian¡­ Mr. Brian¡­ Save Miss!¡± Hearing movement outside the front door, Brian frowned and pressed the switch. As the heavy door slowly opened, the first thing that came into view was a face full of blood. The person who came was a man who did not look that old. His clothes had already been torn to shreds and stained with blood, but his face carried a resolute and iron-blooded aura. It was hard enough to identify him by his attire, but Brian detected something in his sharp eyes. This person¡¯s kung fu was not weak, but how could he be so seriously injured? One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should have the heart to guard against others! Brian did not immediately help. Instead, he immediately called the ambulance. An astonishingly bright red line of blood spread from the gate to the castle. He lowered his head to take a look. They saw a man covered in blood struggling to crawl towards Brian¡¯s feet while mumbling something indistinctly! ¡°Mr¡­ Mr Brian, Miss Celia is in danger. Please save her¡­¡± Brian¡¯s bright eyes narrowed. ¡­ Ten minutes later! A loud and familiar voice came from afar. Brian signaled for the ambulance to enter the castle. But now was not the time for him to relax. Now that the ambulance was here, he had to leave quickly. ¡°Sir, we need you to go to the hospital with the car. Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going, Sir?¡± There was a rule for ambulances to have relatives and cars during the rescue process to prevent any accidents from happening. But Brian had no time to explain. He took out a black document from the unconscious man and threw it on the stretcher! ¡°This is his identification. You can contact the officials to handle it!¡± A car arrived and Brian shot out the front door like an arrow. ¡°What the f*ck! His family is injured and he still wants to race. Rich people really treat human lives as a joke!¡± As they watched the car disappear into the night, the nurses cast looks of disdain at it. ¡­ Chapter 21 ¡®Car racing? What car racing? You guys are saving people. I¡¯m going to save people too!¡¯ It was just that one of them was treating patients, while the other was exorcising evil spirits to save people. Brian gloomily took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Vroom! The cigarette was lit and the car sped up into the road. ¡°Hey! Lady in high heels with big breasts and no brains, you must hold on!¡± The bright headlights pierced through the darkness and the car drove into the distance! ¡­ In an abandoned building ten kilometers away from the city. It was still evening but the scenery was as dark as night. In fact, the view here was even darker than at night! In the darkness, there were mixed voices and screams. The scene sounded very chaotic! ¡°Who! Who¡¯s there?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t scare me, I¡¯m timid.¡± ¡°Oh my god! It¡¯s real. There¡¯s really something here. I saw something flash past!¡± ¡°There¡¯s a ghost! A ghost stepped on my foot!¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s screams, Victor turned on his powerful flashlight. Everyone knew that a normal flashlight could illuminate a radius of ten meters, but a powerful flashlight could illuminate a radius of a hundred meters. The problem now was that Victor was holding a custom-made powerful flashlight, which should have a better illumination effect than the previous two. However, although the flashlight had obviously been adjusted to its maximum power, the light it emitted was almost negligible. Through the faint electric light from his hand, he could vaguely see a black shadow lurking in the darkness. Its small green eyes were staring straight at the group of humans who had intruded into its territory and its mouth was making grinding sounds, which sounded very scary. Victor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw what it looked like. ¡°Hehe! Everyone, don¡¯t be afraid! It¡¯s just a big rat. Watch me!¡± A big rat? This thing was almost like a fat cat. Victor expertly aimed and fired, killing the big rat with one shot. Under the dim light, the silhouettes of everyone gradually appeared. He had to start from the six members of the paranormal team. He did not know why they were crazy enough to come to this strange place and explore on their own recklessly. In the end, the six of them could not get out after entering. Fortunately, he had sent Celia a message asking for help before his phone went off. Now, even Victor and the rest of the rescue team were trapped in this terrifying place. Everyone tried to find a way out, but they could not. Fortunately, with the help of Celia, there were no casualties among the people who had been trapped here for the entire day! Perhaps it was for safety reasons, or perhaps it was because they were afraid that people would get lost in the darkness, more than ten armed soldiers formed a human wall and surrounded a few panicked young men and women! What was worthy of praise was that Celia, who was in the middle, did not panic like the other students. Instead, she seemed a little calmer. She was trying to calm this group of students who had been scared out of their wits¡ªher club members! ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t panic. The ones protecting us are the special forces that are in charge of dealing with special events. They are experts in dealing with supernatural events. They will definitely be able to lead everyone out. Please rest assured!¡± As if she thought her words were more assuring, Celia pulled Captain Victor, who was standing guard beside her, and gave him a wink. ¡°Hey! Captain Victor, don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡°Of course! We will definitely bring everyone out safely. However, in order to protect everyone better, please cooperate with us!¡± Seeing the determined look in Captain Victor¡¯s eyes, the helplessness in everyone¡¯s hearts subsided. After the commotion, everyone calmed down. What they did not know was that Victor was not as confident as he appeared to be. Although they were indeed members of the special department, they were just ordinary members who investigated intelligence and dealt with the adverse effects of the subsequent paranormals. To put it bluntly, they were the intelligence department and logistics personnel of the Special Department. Of course, they could deal with ordinary situations, but if they were to deal with supernatural events independently, that would be pure nonsense! He knew how capable his own people were! If not for Celia¡¯s status, he would never have meddled in such matters. He would only meddle with the elite members of the special department. It was too late to say anything now. At this time, they absolutely could not affect their morale. Since they were already here, the most important thing now was to think of a way to save these people. This was something worth rejoicing over! They had already sent one of their team members out to seek help. Hopefully, they could bring the news out! This proved that the youth was right. The effect of the child¡¯s urine was indeed not bad. However, it was a pity that they could only gather a little bit of it. It was also because of that little bit that the team member was able to successfully break out of the crisis. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the secret weapon has been used up. It¡¯s all these brats¡¯ fault for not keeping themselves clean!¡± ¡°What secret weapon?¡± Celia heard him mutter and turned back to ask. Under everyone¡¯s suspicious gazes, Victor awkwardly hid the empty military canteen behind his back. ¡°Cough, cough! That¡¯s just a special type of water. It¡¯s nothing much. Let¡¯s continue forward!¡± Although his actions were a little strange, the people in the depths of the danger did not think too much about it. They bent their backs and groped forward! Something seemed to be stopping them from moving forward. After a while, they returned to their original spot. Before everyone could react, something strange happened! Boom¡ª A loud explosion was heard and the originally weak flashlight was suddenly extinguished. The surroundings fell into darkness again and a strange evil aura began to spread. The entire world turned pitch-black. It was as quiet as still water. The silence made one¡¯s hair stand on end! Without the light, the defense line in the hearts of the members of the paranormal club was broken again. The quiet darkness suddenly became chaotic. Some people were shouting that something had crawled onto their feet, some were crying loudly, and more people were huddled together in fear. If it were not for Victor¡¯s soldiers tightly surrounding this group of people, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause. Celia¡¯s and Victor¡¯s voices rose in the darkness as they tried once again to calm these people who had become frightened. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. The flashlight just malfunctioned.¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Don-don¡¯t run around¡­¡± But this time, no one listened to them. Everyone was in a complete mess. ¡°Jejejeje!¡± Suddenly, a chilling laughter rang out. ¡­ After the laughter, everything returned to normal. At this moment, a strange scene that made one¡¯s scalp tingle appeared. All the sounds disappeared without a trace. More than twenty living people disappeared without a trace, as if no one had ever appeared! Silence. Dead silence! Chapter 22 At this moment, the sky outside was gradually turning dark. The darkness of the night completely covered the world. On a remote road, a lonely car drove through the dark night. After driving for more than an hour, Brian finally stopped. ¡°Gro City Crematorium! (Old)¡± Brian could see the remains of a huge building from far away. The word ¡°crematorium¡± had become rusty due to years of disrepair and the red paint was blurred. It was said that this place used to be an old-fashioned crematorium. It had been abandoned more than ten years ago because it was a place to dispose of corpses. After it was abandoned, it had become a creepy place that would make people pale. After this crematorium was abandoned, many strange things happened. From time to time, there would be some terrifying supernatural events. Normally, no one dared to come here. Right now, this large building complex was already in ruins. There was a rotten smell everywhere, making one nauseous! At the intersection was a large metal door that was originally filled with warning signs. At this moment, it had been forcefully pried open. It seemed like someone had already entered. After getting out of the car, Brian felt the extremely cold and penetrating ghost aura, and he had an answer. Yes! This should be the place he was looking for. It was not easy to find such a remote place! He wondered how Celia and the others had found their way here. As they passed through the large metal door, the chill gradually became bone-chilling! It was as if the warm season had suddenly turned into the winter of twelth month of the lunar calendar. If it were not for Brian¡¯s good health, ordinary people would not have been able to withstand it. ¡°Ding! Strong ghost aura detected! Ghost aura+5 ~¡± ¡°Ding! Beginning growth mission. From now on, the host will be rewarded according to the difficulty of every ghost you subdue!¡± Everything was quiet except for the prompt from the system! When Brian reached the abandoned building, his vision suddenly turned dark. The path that he could barely see under the moonlight suddenly disappeared, and all he could see was endless darkness. Looking at the darkness in front of him, Brian revealed a disdainful smile! There was an evil aura here. It seemed like there was going to be a big one soon. During this period of time, Brian had already mastered the usage of all his skills, so when the darkness gradually covered his eyes, a white light automatically overflowed and instantly pierced through the blockage in front of him. ¡°Ding! The system has automatically activated the Left Oculus of God. All evil spirits and monsters will be exposed under the host¡¯s Oculus of God!¡± Brian could see everything clearly. He could even see a few military off-road vehicles parked nearby. ¡®Eh? Why are there cars here?¡¯ Brian quickly walked closer to take a look. The scene in front of him almost scared him. ¡®Oh my god! What the hell is going on?¡¯ Brian looked into the car. There were two armed men sitting in the car. Judging from their clothes, they were Victor¡¯s men! What was embarrassing was that they seemed to be having erotic dreams. The two men hugged each other and kissed and touched each other. Brian¡¯s eyes were burning! The loving atmosphere started to spread in the car. The two of them seemed to have seen something beautiful and their faces revealed a look of enjoyment. ¡®Holy f*ck! Was he trying to add a man to his game?¡¯ ¡®What kind of people were these modern people? I have to talk to Victor about it.¡¯ ¡°Keke! Shh! Someone¡¯s coming¡­¡± When Brian could not stand it anymore, the people in the car seemed to have noticed his presence. Two pairs of glowing green eyes looked over, and when they swept across Brian¡¯s lower body, saliva appeared on the corners of their mouths. ¡®Tsk¡­ Bro, can we discuss this? Please don¡¯t look at me like that.¡¯ ¡®Look, look, look. I told you not to look, but you are still f*cking looking.¡¯ Brian had a bad temper. How could he tolerate this! He opened the car door and pounced on the two of them. He took out a bottle of mineral water containing an unknown liquid and poured it into their mouths. A woman¡¯s shrill scream came from their bodies. ¡°Ding! Extinguishing a portion of ghost aura, ghost aura+10¡­ ¡± Soon, the two soldiers froze and their eyes regained clarity. The moment they woke up, they subconsciously covered their mouths and jumped out of the car. Then, the two of them held onto the car door and started vomiting non-stop. Seeing their reaction, Brian covered his mouth and laughed unkindly. Hehe! The divine water passed down from the ancestors of handsome Brian specialized in treating all kinds of strange diseases! The two soldiers had been bewitched by the demons. It was only when they woke up that they remembered their current situation. ¡°Oh! Weren¡¯t we on guard just now? What happened?¡± ¡°Damn it! Why do I suddenly feel like vomiting? Ah¡­ it stinks!¡± ¡°Friends, you have been bewitched by the demon. I¡¯ve given you the Sacred Water for Exorcism just now. You¡¯re fine now!¡± Sacred Water for Exorcism! The two of them recalled the strange taste in their mouths and were perplexed. ¡°Is it something similar to the Recovery Potion of our Special Department?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! This is a precious item, you can¡¯t buy it with money!¡± Brian¡¯s face was not red and his heart was not beating fast. It was obviously his child urine, but he made it sound as though it was something noble. Upon hearing how valuable this liquid was, the duo¡¯s faces were filled with gratitude. After a simple exchange, Brian roughly understood the situation here. Brian chose not to tell them about their actions just now. Otherwise, these two steel-like men would be so embarrassed that they would find a hole to hide in. The two soldiers came to their senses and recognized Brian. They asked for help. ¡°Mr. Brian, Miss Celia and the others have already gone in. We are guarding the perimeter, but we haven¡¯t received any news from them. I wonder if something happened?¡± Based on the current situation, it would be strange if nothing happened. Brian thought for a moment, threw down the bottle of mineral water in his hand, and walked into the darkness without looking back. ¡°You guys can continue to wait outside. I¡¯ll go in and take a look!¡± After he said that, Brian was gone in the darkness. The two soldiers looked at each other and smelled the strange smell on the bottle. They put it away in their arms with a look of disgust. It was this precious Sacred Water that saved their lives. Brian had left this before he left, which meant that as long as they had this, they would no longer act strangely. Recalling the strange dream they had just had, the two tough men blushed shyly. Actually, they were thinking too much. Brian had only left it behind because he had used up the contents of the bottle. If Brian knew that his casual action would cause such a misunderstanding, he would have shown some kind of strange expression! ¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± In the dilapidated building, a long moan suddenly rang out, sounding very abrupt in the silence of the night. Even without thinking, he knew what was going on. Strange, the ghost also had that kind of need? Brian curiously followed the sound and continued forward. In a short while, he reached the depths of the building. But before he could go closer to take a look. A seductive voice suddenly came from the eerie space. ¡°Hey! Handsome boy! You¡¯re here! You made me wait for so long!¡± Brian¡¯s heart trembled when he heard the voice. ¡°Hehe! The night is dark and the wind is strong. It¡¯s time to spend a good night together!¡± The moment Brian heard the voice, his eyes emitted a green light uncontrollably, just like the eyes of the two soldiers he had met before. Chapter 23 ¡°Handsome, why are you so late? I waited so long!¡± ¡°Ding! Host is using the Left Oculus of God. Host is not confused by illusions of ghosts!¡± Now Brian finally knew why the two men outside would do something so bizarre. The culprit was flirting with him and calling out to him! Brian recalled the actions of the two soldiers and felt a chill down his spine! Fortunately, it was a female ghost with good looks and figure! Brian exhaled slowly. Under the effect of the Left Oculus, everything around him became extremely clear. In the depths of the darkness in front of him, a sexy woman in revealing clothes giggled as she swayed her hips and walked towards him. The scene was so erotic that it made one¡¯s imagination run wild. This person looked to be in her early thirties. There were strange flame patterns on both sides of her fair cheeks. A fiery red dress with a slit to the thigh swayed with the wind. It looked out of place with the surrounding scenery. From the sexy woman, Brian felt a heat that he had not felt in a long time. It was like a fire in that winter night, deadly and desirable. ¡°Hello! Pretty lady, are you cosplaying?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the sexy woman appeared in front of him! ¡°Cosplay? What kind of novel game is that?¡± The woman blinked her large eyes and a puzzled expression appeared on her face. She did not seem to understand the current trend of the times at all. She smiled coquettishly. ¡°So handsome guys like to cosplay? I know everything! Do you want to try?¡± Amid a tinkling laugh, the woman wrapped her arms warmly around Brian. ¡°But¡­ it¡¯s late at night. It¡¯s not good for us to be left alone, right?¡± Feeling the warm touch on his arm, Brian looked hesitant. ¡°A good night is short. The moon is so bright tonight. Wouldn¡¯t it be a pity if we don¡¯t do something nice?¡± ¡°No way! I am not that kind of person. It won¡¯t be good if word gets out¡­¡± One would understand what was meant by ¡°you say you don¡¯t want it but your body wants it¡± when one saw Brian¡¯s actions next.¡¯ Brian kept rejecting her, but he allowed the sexy woman to pull him into the room. He did not resist at all, and he even felt like he wanted to welcome her. Brian was looking around. This was a house with a very meticulous layout. Everything around it looked very normal, but the lighting was very dim. As the dim lights flickered, the furniture in the house flickered, making it look a little strange. What was even stranger was that after entering, a nameless fire seemed to be burning on his body! The woman pulled Brian into the house and asked him to sit down. She said she wanted to get him some water and left. Brian was left alone in the huge room! Taking advantage of this time, he also tried to find information about Celia and others. The decoration of the room was similar to that of a normal house. The only strange thing was that there was nothing in the bedroom next door other than a surprisingly large bed! On the pink bed, there were fresh flowers placed at the head of the bed. The fiery red roses piled up at the head of the bed added a fiery aura to the room. As the saying goes, people have their homes and ghosts have their haunted houses. He did not expect this place to be decorated with such taste. Brian wandered around but there was no sign of Celia or the others. Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to take a look, the sexy woman walked out with two glasses of red wine. The two of them bumped into each other! The woman¡¯s words seemed to be provocative, and her actions were full of charm. Her pretentious behavior gave Brian goosebumps. ¡°Hehe! I¡¯m sorry, handsome. There¡¯s no water at home. Drink some red wine to relieve your boredom. I¡¯ll make it up to you later!¡± The sexy woman lost her balance and spilled a glass of red wine on Brian¡¯s clothes. She wanted to pounce on him. ¡°Oh! It¡¯s all wet. Let me wipe it for you!¡± Brian teasingly dodged. The woman saw Brian dodge and realized that he was not under her illusion, so she prepared to use force. He saw that the fiery woman who was willing to be picked by him a moment ago suddenly had a change in expression when she turned around. She had a fierce look on her face. ¡°Tsk tsk! Men are all bad things. They are all animals that think with their lower bodies. Lecher, die!¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t done anything, or rather, I haven¡¯t done anything yet. How did you know that I¡¯m a lecher?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because you didn¡¯t do anything. It means that you look down on me. Those who look down on me deserve to die!¡± ¡°Ding! This ghost is a Grade C Spirit Ghost. Its level is too high and the lying spell cannot affect it!¡± ¡®Oh my god, I met a high-level female ghost. Even my lying spell was ineffective!¡¯ As expected, it was impossible for a man to reason with a woman, especially a female ghost. ¡®We are gentlemen. It is our usual style to be polite before resorting to force. Now that the logic is no longer reasonable, let¡¯s talk with our fists!¡¯ Brian moved to the female ghost and smiled at her. The female ghost had no choice but to pull away! ¡°Burn! From the shackles of fire!¡± Her cold voice seemed to have magic power. The red wine in the cup suddenly turned into two blood-red fire serpents that pounced towards Brian. The female ghost¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile, her face filled with pride. What she did not know was that Brian had already seen through her disguise when he saw her in the Left Oculus of God. Brian already knew how to deal with her. ¡°Ding! The Mirror Technique has been successfully used. Host will receive the power of the Fire Ghost, and the skill will increase by 30 times!¡± The Mirror Technique had long reached the upgrade requirement. During this period of time in the ghost realm, it had already been upgraded to the advanced stage. Its power could no longer be compared to before. Brian felt a fiery current flowing through his body. A fiery red mark suddenly appeared on his forehead. He looked like a God of Fire, full of vigor. With a gentle wave of his hand, the fire serpent, which had been aggressive just a moment ago, turned around and attacked the female ghost. In an instant, she was tied up like a huge dumpling. ¡°What? How do you have the ability to control flames?¡± The female ghost¡¯s strange laughter came to an abrupt halt as disbelief filled her face! Never would she have thought that this handsome little boy in front of her was not only unaffected by her illusions, but he could also use her power of flames. What was even more outrageous was that the power of the flames was more than ten times stronger than hers. ¡®Is he still human? To be precise, who is the ghost between us?!¡¯ Dumbfounded! Completely dumbfounded! Brian giggled as he looked at the hot, sexy woman who was no longer able to fight back. Oh, no, more like a female ghost. ¡°Tell me! Where is the pretty lady in high heels?¡± Pretty lady in high heels? The female ghost seemed to have misunderstood something. Then, she blinked her large eyes pitifully, revealing a pitiful look. ¡°Handsome boy! Are you looking for a pretty lady in high heels? What do you think of me?¡± As she spoke, she struggled to lift up a corner of her long dress. Her snow-white thighs were fair and tender under the dim light, looking extremely alluring. ¡®Oh dear! So you were hiding here.¡¯ Brian immediately saw the crucial point. The female ghost was wearing a pair of red high heels, which he was very familiar with. Under the woman¡¯s fiery gaze, Brian took off her high heels and unhurriedly undid his belt. ¡°It might hurt a little later, bear with it!¡± Chapter 24 The female ghost was stunned when she heard this Indeed, no man in the world was good. They were all alcohol and lust! The female ghost lowered her head. A smile suddenly appeared on her fair face, but there was a hint of teasing in her smile. ¡°Come on! Let Big Sister witness the power of this handsome boy, hehe!¡± What she did not know was that in a few minutes, she would regret her provocation! ¡®What are you thinking? Why are you looking at me like that?¡¯ Brian¡¯s expression was a little unnatural. He jokingly picked up the red wine glass on the table, turned his back to the female ghost and undid his belt. It was a carefree feeling. The female ghost was confused by Brian¡¯s actions! This strange atmosphere did not last long as Brian turned around with a smile! ¡°Handsome Brian never owes anyone anything. You treated me to a glass of red wine just now, and now I¡¯m treating you to a glass of wine as well. We¡¯re finally back to square one!¡± Hehe! Brian approached with a wicked smile! The female ghost, who had been planning how to counterattack, was shocked and frightened when she saw the glass full of the powerful liquid! ¡°Handsome, don¡¯t. I¡¯ll agree to anything you want. Don¡¯t¡­¡± As soon as the female ghost¡¯s terrified voice faded, it was too late. Brian took the wine glass and splashed it at her. ¡°Hehe! I heard from others that girls don¡¯t mean what they say. If they say they don¡¯t want it, then they really want it. Alright! I¡¯ll satisfy you now!¡± Splash! Water splashed everywhere in the room and a strange smell was spreading! He turned to look. The fiery female ghost¡¯s true form was revealed and her pale face became even more hideous. As if she had encountered a piece of paper with strong sulfuric acid, waves of black smoke rose one after another. As the ghost aura was continuously weakened, the female ghost¡¯s body also gradually faded away. ¡°Ding! Host has eliminated part of the ghost aura and received+10 ghost aura¡­¡± Brian listened to the familiar voice beside his ear and felt both happy and satisfied! ¡®Who asked you to lust after my body and hide Celia and the rest. If I didn¡¯t dislike killing, you would have already been sent to hell!¡¯ Brian was happy, but the scene in the room did not look right. A sexy female ghost was tied to the bed and a handsome man was tilting the wine glass in his hand. What he poured out was not red wine, but a deadly liquid! The female ghost broke down! ¡°Ah!¡± Waves of shrill screams could be heard through the crack in the door. From afar, the female ghost¡¯s screams could be heard! A moment later. Brian walked out the door holding up his pants, satisfied with his actions. And that female ghost who was barely breathing had already become a member of the ghost realm! ¡°Hmph! What Grade C Evil Ghost of the Flames? She¡¯s easily dealt with by my urine!¡± Brian had just stepped out of the room. There was no room for beauties! The room behind him had turned into a pile of ruins. There were a few rotten pieces of cloth hanging on the rotten wood. He followed the female ghost¡¯s directions for a few minutes. Soon, he found some messy footprints on the wet ground. He used the high heels in his hand to match one of the footprints. They fit perfectly! ¡®That¡¯s right, these should be the footprints of Celia and the others.¡¯ After confirming that there was no mistake, Brian continued to follow the messy footprints, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed. Brian did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at him all the way. However, when he turned around, he did not find anything. Brian shook his head. He was probably being paranoid. If there was really a demon, his Left Oculus of God should have reacted. After walking for a while, a foul smell suddenly assaulted his nose. Oh! This disgusting smell made Brian almost throw up his dinner! However, he could no longer be bothered about feeling disgusted because he had already reached the end of the path not far away. After reaching this place, the ghost energy became denser. A hoarse and strange laughter came from the mist. ¡°Delicious! Delicious¡­¡± ¡°Keke!¡± ¡°Mine, all mine, hehe!¡± Following Brian¡¯s line of sight, several oddly dressed figures came into view first. They were followed by a series of black shadows that spun in place. Although Brian did not see their faces, he could guess who they were. They were the people who had been lost in the crematorium. Celia and the group of soldiers who came in to rescue seemed to be alright. Apart from standing still like a fool, there was not much of a problem. As for the members of the paranormal club who had been scared out of their wits, they were very pitiful. Because they were too frightened, their wills were too weak and were severely affected by the ghost aura. At this time, they were all crazily gnawing on a large rat whose flesh was blurry, looking as though they were eating very happily. ¡®I was wondering why it was so smelly. They had entered a rat¡¯s nest!¡¯ Brian endured the nausea and walked over. As he took a step forward, all the ghost aura swarmed into his body. He had already accumulated quite a lot of ghost aura. Now that he encountered so much ghost aura, the ghost aura on the system¡¯s panel immediately shot past the limit of the meter on the system¡¯s display. ¡°Ding! A large amount of ghost aura is absorbed. Host can choose to upgrade again. Would you like to upgrade now?¡± With the previous experience, Brian did not choose to upgrade immediately. Besides, it was not a good time to upgrade. ¡°Ding! Host has chosen to postpone upgrade for 24 hours. Host, please prepare as soon as possible!¡± Note: 800 ghost aura have been deducted for an upgrade for the host. If there is no upgrade or failure within 24 hours, the ghost aura deducted will not be returned. The system was doing it again, but Brian was used to it. He did not bother with the prompt in his ear anymore. At this time, the thick ghost aura in the surroundings had already disappeared, but because it was still night, the light was still dim. After the ghost aura dispelled, the people with dazed eyes also woke up. ¡°Ah! I¡¯m injured! Blood! Why is my hand covered in blood?!¡± ¡°I was clearly dreaming about tasting a delicious Oriental feast just now. How did I become a dead rat in the blink of an eye? Damn!¡± ¡°Spat, spat, spat. I ate a mouthful of fur. What is this¡­¡± ¡°OMG! It¡¯s a mouse, a big mouse! What have we done?¡± The moment everyone came to their senses, they began to scream in disbelief. Then, they retched! They should be glad that if Brian had come a little later, they might have swallowed all the rats here alive! However, unlike their chaotic behavior, a dozen people were stunned for a moment before they quickly reacted. Victor and the rest were indeed veterans who had undergone professional training. Sensing that things might have taken a turn for the better, he immediately ordered all the soldiers to turn on their flashlights. This time, the flashlight was successfully turned on. Several beams of light instantly illuminated the entire space. With the light, everyone finally found the direction to leave. Everyone was wild with joy! After verifying and confirming that there were no missing personnel, the group began to evacuate in an orderly manner with the help of more than ten members of the Special Forces. Although they did not know what had happened, it was clear that they were no longer in that strange situation. They did not want to stay in this strange place any longer. As Celia limped after the others to retreat, a figure approached slowly from behind them. Brian beamed and lifted the heels in his hands. ¡°Oh! My dear lady in high heels, I think you¡¯ll need a pair of high heels if you want to walk out. Do you think this pair will do?¡± Hearing this unfamiliar yet familiar voice, Celia¡¯s body involuntarily trembled. ¡°Mr¡­ Mr Brian, why are you here!¡± Chapter 25 When everyone walked out of the crematorium, it was almost dawn. The sun brought the first glimmer of hope to dawn, and the surroundings began to brighten. After being in the dark for a long time, when they saw the scene outside again after escaping death, a few young boys and girls in their twenties finally could not hold it in anymore, and they hugged each other and cried. Sigh! A sigh was heard! Brian shook his head. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done this! He was speechless. These students who did not have to worry about their lives did not study hard and enjoyed their lives and studies. They insisted on joining a paranormal club to have fun. They were really courting death! How should he put it? He hoped that they would learn from this painful lesson! While Brian was still musing, a bright figure blocked his way. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, lady in high heels? Are your high heels uncomfortable?¡± ¡°Hehe! Bastard Brian, thank you so much. I thank you on behalf of everyone!¡± It could be seen that this woman had a good mental quality. After this experience, she could still be so calm. Brian was amused. ¡°Oh! Damn it, where did the wind come from? By the way, what did you say just now, lady in high heels? Can you say it again?¡± Who was he kidding? They were on the road, where did the wind come from! Celia did not mind hearing that. She smiled and took another step forward, practically pressing her entire body against Brian¡¯s. Oh dear! Was he going to devote his life to her? Brian felt a whiff of incense go straight into his nose. Before he could savor it, he heard a loud noise. ¡°I said, thank you, Mr. Brian. Thank you for saving us. Thank you! Do you hear me now?¡± Aiyo, my god. Her voice was almost comparable to the roar of a fighter jet. Not to mention Brian, even Victor and others who were standing ten meters away were shocked by the sound. However, unlike Brian, Victor and the others also looked at her with admiration. Miss Celia was indeed extraordinary. Even her thanks were so imposing. She was indeed worthy of being a member of the Wedel family. ¡°What are you looking at? Hurry up and take them back for a statement. If there are no major problems, send them back to school!¡± ¡°Yes, Miss Celia!¡± Victor gave a standard military salute and led everyone into the car to wait. Celia leaned in again, smiling. ¡°Hehe! That¡¯s right, why are you here? Are you here to look for me?¡± ¡°Do you believe me when I say that I¡¯m here to save the damsel in distress because I¡¯m drooling over your beauty?¡± Seriously, such a great beauty had such a fierce side to her. She was completely different from the beautiful and aloof image he had when he first met her. Brian had just casually said that. After all, although Celia was indeed quite good-looking, from recent events, he understood that this woman was not simple. In addition, she had shown such a fierce side. For a moment, Brian had no intention of provoking her. However, those who did not mean it would be taken seriously. Celia hesitated, then assumed a prim pose. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible if you like me, but I have to let my family know. At the very least, I have to tell my dear grandfather, my father, my mother¡­ I can only date you after they¡¯ve passed it!¡± Looking at Celia muttering to herself while bending her fingers, Brian felt like shooting himself in the foot. ¡°Ahem! Well, I suddenly remembered that the laundry at home hasn¡¯t been taken yet. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first!¡± By this time, the sky had gradually cleared up and the sunlight began to disperse the darkness. Looking at the mysterious man¡¯s departing figure, Celia changed his tough appearance and smiled. ¡®This fellow is really too much. He does not even eat the swan that is about to reach his mouth. What a genuine bastard!¡¯ ¡®But if you want to run away, you still have to ask if I agree!¡¯ ¡­ When Brian returned to the castle, it was already seven or eight in the morning. The sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom, as well as an unknown but moving voice. The lingering sounds lingered in the air! Brian put on the apron he used for cooking. ¡°Hey! Excuse me, how do you want for the original steak to be done?¡± ¡°How do you like your steak? I will get the same, thank you!¡± Looking at the bloody steak in front of him, the scene of the students eating raw rats flashed past his mind. Eventually, Brian silently took out his phone and ordered takeout. Why are you eating steak? Go ahead and order a luxurious set meal today! After a while, the delivery arrived and the sound of water stopped. Then, a woman wrapped in a towel walked out of the bathroom barefooted. The woman did not hide her burning gaze and sat on the sofa openly. The wide bathrobe could not hide her impressive figure. A few drops of water that had not been wiped off slid down her jade-like neck. Her wet hair naturally fell over her shoulders. Coupled with her stunning face, she gave people the feeling of a bathing beauty. ¡°By the way, why isn¡¯t there a hairdryer in your bathroom? Where did you put it?¡± Brian looked away from the fire and pointed to the standing cabinet by the bathroom door. From his actions, he could tell that this was not the first or second time such a scene had happened. Now Brian suspected that God had sent this little goblin to seduce him. Two hours ago. After they came out of the crematorium, everyone should have gone back to their own homes. However, just as he was about to leave after rejecting Victor¡¯s invitation, Celia expressed that she wanted to visit Brian¡¯s castle. Then, she swaggered into his passenger seat. Just like that, Celia came to the castle and said that she would stay for a few more days to experience the boring life of the rich. Brian had thought the woman was just talking, but a few days later, he finally knew. It turned out that women could really do what they said sometimes. After a simple breakfast, according to custom, Brian had to patrol the perimeter of the castle. The castle under Brian¡¯s name also needed someone to take care of it, but Brian, who liked quietness, did not choose to let the servants stay. He only let them come and clean every few days. Today was the day of cleaning, so the castle was very lively. Every time you arrived at a place, you would see someone carrying out a thorough cleaning and cleaning. Those who did not know would think that today was Labor Day! Brian greeted them with a smile, but their answers were interesting. ¡°Good morning, Mr. Brian. Your wife is beautiful!¡± ¡°Oh! Oh my god! Mr. Brian, your wife is like an angel. I have to say that you two are really compatible!¡± ¡°Not only is Mr. Brian so rich, but even his wife is so beautiful. How fortunate.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Along the way, if you looked at Celia, you would realize that the smile on that gorgeous face never stopped. ¡°Mr. Brian¡­¡± Before the gardener could speak, Brian understood what he was about to say. Now he had learned to snatch answers first. Brian did not forget to glance at the beautiful figure. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I have to clarify. Although I can imagine that this is a wonderful thing, unfortunately, this lady is not my wife yet. Thank you!¡± ¡°Hehehe! Sir, she¡¯s your girlfriend now, and she¡¯ll be your wife in the future. It¡¯s actually the same thing!¡± ¡°Mmhmm! What you said makes sense!¡± Looking at their conversation, Celia burst out laughing. Chapter 26 In the afternoon. Brian received Victor¡¯s goodbye call! ¡°Mr. Brian, it¡¯s all thanks to you. After this matter is settled, we have to go back and report¡­¡± The person on the other end of the phone suddenly paused for a few seconds as if he had thought of something. ¡°I¡¯ll report this incident to the higher-ups. There¡¯s a high chance that someone will come to talk to you. Those people are not easy to deal with. I hope you can find a place to hide, Mr. Brian!¡± ¡°Okay! Mr. Victor, I¡¯ll be careful. Have a safe trip.¡± Brian put down the phone, lost in thought. Victor did not think it was inappropriate for him to report it as it was his duty to do so. The other party had already given him a call in advance on account that he had helped them before. Brian¡¯s idea was very simple. ¡®I would deal with whatever came my way. No matter what kind of elite from the special department the person was in, he would listen to me when he comes to my territory! Thinking of this, he called Old Bu and Selina respectively. ¡°Hello! I¡¯m your handsome Brian. Someone¡¯s looking for trouble. You know what I mean!¡± ¡°Understood! Arrange it immediately!¡± ¡­ When he was done, Brian returned to the living room. At that moment, in the living room, Celia was watching a TV show called ¡°The Beautiful Woman and the Ghost.¡± She was watching it so intently that she did not even notice Brian coming in. Brian did not disturb her pleasure. He watched silently for a while before returning to his room. With a thought, he entered the ghost realm. After shopping for a while, Brian summoned the system panel. Host¡¯s Name: Brian Rating: Grade D Ghost Warlock (Upgradeable) Ghost Aura: 1690 / 800 (Satisfied the ghost aura for this grade, able to apply for an upgrade.) Lifespan: One year, eight months and 26 days. (As the host becomes stronger, it can gradually increase.) Attribute Points: 1550 Ghost Realm: Subdue¡ªA Grade C Mirror Ghost, a Grade D Water Ghost and a Grade C Fire Ghost. Skill: Intermediate-level Ghost Deceit Spell; Advanced Mirror Technique. Intermediate Water Ghost Power. Low-level Flame Power. (Click here for details.) Mission: Long-term growth mission. (Increase by subduing ghosts. Every ghost will promote the growth of the host!) Note: If you subdue the female Fire Ghost, the system will reward you with one year of lifespan, 1000 attribute points, the ability to control flames will be increased by 10 times! (Please click¡­ Open!) Although he was saving the damsel in distress this time, it could be said that he had got a double win. Not only did he save the damsel in distress, even the attributes of the system had improved greatly. It was time to accept the upgraded mission that was previously delayed. ¡°System! I want to accept an upgrade mission!¡± ¡°Ding! Upgrade mission activated¡ª(Subduing a Grade B ghost). Host, please complete it within 24 hours!¡± (Note: Humans are divided into men and women, and demons and ghosts were also divided into classes respectively. The classes were: Grade E Beginner Ghosts, Grade D Evil Ghosts, Grade C Spirit Ghosts, Grade B Ghost Generals, and Grade A Ghost Marshals.) Grade B ghosts had already reached the level of Evil Ghost. Ghosts of this level could already live under the sun. Brian felt enormous pressure. Looking at his attributes that had exceeded 1,000, he decided to focus on all the skills that he could level up. He only stopped when his attributes were not enough. ¡°Ding! Ghost Deceit Spell has been upgraded to the advanced stage! 300 attribute points deducted!¡± ¡°Ding! Water Ghost Power has reached the advanced level! 500 attribute points deducted!¡± ¡°Beep! Flame Power has reached the advanced stage! 500 attribute points deducted!¡± At this moment, all of his skills had reached advanced levels and his confidence rose immediately. At this moment, Brian also thought of the new residents of the ghost realm. ¡°System! Where is the female fire ghost?¡± ¡°The female fire ghost lives in house number 108. Host, you can move over to check her information.¡± It was a pink house number 108 with a sign on the door (Class C Spirit Ghost, Alifene¡¯s Home)! That was right! This is the residence of the female fire ghost. But wasn¡¯t there any blood on her hands? Just as Brian was wondering, the door opened. A figure in a pink short skirt leaned against the door and put on a seductive look, as though she was a flower waiting to be plucked! ¡°Master, you finally remembered to visit me!¡± Holy f*ck! This blatant seduction of the female servant! No, it would not be good for others to see this. What if it caused a misunderstanding? Brian glanced around the room and pulled Alifene into it. ¡°No one will misunderstand now,¡± he hoped. Brian breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he look around. The furniture was all pink and white. Even the curtains were printed with the design of Hello Kitty cat. What a youthful girly theme! ¡°Hey! Alifene, why are you here?¡± ¡°Master, even though I was so fierce that day, I actually never killed anyone. It was just to protect myself!¡± Brian nodded when he saw the numbers above Alifene¡¯s head. Indeed, if she had really killed someone, the color above her head would not be green but red. ¡®Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?¡¯ ¡°Aiya! I accidentally dropped my pillow!¡± ¡®If it fell, so be it. Why did you crawl under my crotch?¡¯ Alifene had one hand on Brian¡¯s parted legs while she reached for the cushion under his feet with the other. Somehow she just could not reach it. A few minutes later, Alifene stood up, blushing. Cough cough! Even though Brian knew that she was a female ghost, he could not help but react. Gulp! Swallowing his saliva, Brian picked up a pillow and pressed it against his lap. ¡°Stop fooling around. I have something serious to ask you!¡± ¡°Master, you have something indecent to do, so why are you talking about something serious!¡± ¡®Uh¡­ fuck?¡¯ Brian shook his head. He did not want his precious first time to be handed over to a female ghost, even though the ghosts here had turned into almost like a real person. Cough cough, that was off-topic! ¡°I want to know, since you didn¡¯t harm anyone, why did you trap those people in the crematorium?¡± ¡°Trapped in the crematorium? I didn¡¯t do that!¡± At this point, a look of horror appeared on Alifene¡¯s face. ¡°In that crematorium, other than me, there¡¯s another powerful character. She claims to be a Hell Demon General, but because I live in the crematorium that can borrow the Flame Power, she¡¯s unwilling to provoke me.¡± The incinerator room? That was the incineration chamber that day. Wasn¡¯t that large bed the incinerator for the corpses? Brian sweated! According to what Alifene said, what happened to Celia and the others was not her doing, but a powerful demon named Morgana! No wonder Brian always felt that someone was spying on him when he went to save people. It should be the powerful character that Alifene mentioned. As a Class C Spirit Ghost, even she had to use the incineration chamber to fight against it. That demon ghost was probably a Class B ghost. But why would such a powerful demon watch him save everyone? This matter might not be that simple. ¡°Oh no, something might have happened!¡± Brian regained his senses and quickly ran outside. Chapter 27 Celia, who was watching the ghost-catching TV series obsessively, was suddenly interrupted by a ringtone! She frowned when she saw the caller ID. ¡°Hey! I¡¯ve already announced the dissolution of the Red Fire Paranormal Club. You guys can go back now¡­¡± Before she could finish, she heard a woman crying on the phone. Eh? This was obviously the phone call of one of the members who had been rescued from the crematorium. If he remembered correctly, that person should be called Mark, but why did it sound like a woman¡¯s voice? At this moment, someone spoke from the other side of the phone. ¡°Miss Celia, I am Mark¡¯s mother. Mark¡­ he died!¡± ¡®What? Mark¡¯s dead?¡¯ Celia¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Her trembling voice revealed her doubts. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I want to ask when this happened? How did he die?¡± ¡°This afternoon, he is¡­¡± Beep beep beep! There was a sudden busy tone on the phone, as if someone had cut off the signal. Before Celia could react. ¡°Hehe! He¡¯s dead. He died so miserably!¡± F*ck! Crazy! Celia jerked and threw the phone away. It was evening and the sun had yet to set completely. Outside the castle, the servants who had already taken care of everything were packing their tools and preparing to leave. The afterglow made the ground red, but Celia still felt uneasy as she looked at the empty castle. With a flash of idea, he decisively closed the door. ¡°It¡¯s impossible for us to be together. You¡¯re a human and I¡¯m a ghost. I have my mission to be a ghost since I was born and you have things that you need to do as well. However, we¡¯re destined to be different people¡­¡± The drama reached its climax, but Celia was no longer in the mood to watch the drama. Her mind was filled with Mark¡¯s mother¡¯s words. The more she thought about it, the stranger she felt! At this moment¡­ Drip, drip, drip! A considerable commotion in the bathroom caught Celia¡¯s attention. She had to know that she was the only one here besides Brian. Now Brian should be in his room. Thief! A thief had entered! At the thought of this, Celia skillfully took out the pistol at her waist and slowly leaned over like a cheetah hunting for food. ¡®Phew! Scared me!¡¯ It turned out that the tap was not turned off properly. This careless Mr. Brian, why was he so insensitive?! Just as Celia was heaving a sigh of relief, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. She discovered a footprint that extended from the door into the living room. From the looks of it, this brand new mark should have been left not long ago. But why did she not see it when she closed the door? Did it only appear after closing the door? The problem was, the door was closed. How could anyone enter? At this thought, Celia¡¯s face turned pale. She rushed to Brian¡¯s room. Only the mysterious man could give her a sense of security. ¡°Mr. Brian, open the door!¡± But because he had to enter the ghost realm, Brian had already locked the door. How could he hear her voice now? She broke in. Looking at the empty room, Celia was stunned! Where was that guy? ¡°Not in the cupboard, not in the bathroom, not behind the curtains. Where the hell did he go?¡± ¡°Keke! I¡¯m here¡­¡± A deep voice came from under the bed. ¡°Oh ho! There you are! I was wondering why I couldn¡¯t find you. See if I don¡¯t catch you.¡± Celia leaned over to check. The next moment she was stunned. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡­ On the other side, Brian, who had received the news, had a bad feeling and quickly left the ghost realm. But when he came out and saw the room that had been ransacked¡­ Only then did he realize that he was too late! They looked around for Celia, but she was nowhere to be seen. Only a lady¡¯s phone on the floor could prove she had not left willingly. ¡°Ding! A Grade B Ghost General has been discovered.¡± ¡°Ding! System absorbs a small amount of ghost aura. Ghost aura+20 ~¡± ¡°Grade B Ghost General!¡± Hearing the system prompt, Brian¡¯s face sank. This was his castle, yet a ghost actually dared to capture someone right under his nose. This was intolerable! ¡°System! Activate radar scanning! Activate Left Oculus of God!¡± ¡°Ding! Intermediate function activated, 200 attribute points deducted!¡± Note: Radar scan and Left Oculus of God have been upgraded to the intermediate level. Each time it is used, it consumes 100 attribute points. Any ghost below the level of Grade A would be exposed! Half an hour later, with a quick drift, Brian parked the car in front of the crematorium. The system radar showed that the Ghost Marshal was here. It was still the same old place but some things had already quietly changed. The crematorium now was very different from before. It was more sinister and colder. Prior to this, there was also the flame power of Alifene to suppress this yin energy. However, after she was subdued by him, the yin energy in this place was no longer suppressed, so it had completely erupted now. Brian¡¯s left eye reflected a dark aura! ¡®Holy f*ck! This guy is quite strong!¡¯ Despite his words, Brian swaggered toward the center of the black air. It was as if he had returned to his own home. ¡°Die!¡± A sharp brick attack followed by the crisp sound of bones breaking. ¡°F*ck, even you stinky rats dare to provoke me? You¡¯re courting death!¡± ¡°Ding! Host has eliminated part of the ghost aura and received+5 ghost aura¡­¡± After killing a giant rat that had mutated due to the ghost aura, not only did it not scare the other giant rats away, it even stimulated their ferocity! ¡°Squeak squeak squeak!¡± After a few rat calls, pairs of green eyes appeared. Taking a closer look, there were dozens of huge rats which were the size of domestic cats crowding around. Not only that, even more rats were rushing out of the cave. If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably fall sick within a second. ¡®Damn it, I¡¯ve poked a rat¡¯s nest!¡¯ ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll call Tom the cat over. Damn it!¡± Squeak squeak squeak! When the group of giant rats heard this, they began to squeak in panic. It seemed that they were very afraid of Tom the cat. Forgive Brian for laughing unkindly. ¡°Haha! Sorry, I lied to you. I don¡¯t have Tom the cat¡¯s number!¡± The giant rats were agitated and rushed over while screaming. ¡°Although I don¡¯t have its number, I have something more powerful¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of scorching flames started to rush out of his body and instantly exploded within the group of giant rats. There was only a crackling sound mixed with the aroma of roasted meat. The dozens of giant rats closest to Brian were instantly engulfed by the flames. The flames illuminated the surroundings. It actually smelt quite good! Brian had heard of Fujian roasted rats, but had never had a chance to try it. If these rats had not been corroded by ghost aura and ate rotten corpses, Brian might have wanted to taste them! ¡°Come on! Don¡¯t you guys want to eat this handsome guy? Come out if you have the guts. We don¡¯t even know who¡¯s the food on the plate!¡± Squeak, squeak, squeak! ¡®Aiyo! How dare you shout and shake people!¡¯ More than ten giant rats emerged from the cave. Before they could figure out what had happened, they saw a flame appear in front of them in horror! Crackle! As the flames swept past, only charred and tender roasted rat meat remained! Chapter 28 A figure covered in flames walked over. Wherever it passed, the thick ghost aura was instantly purified! ¡°Ding! Extinguishing a portion of ghost aura, gain ghost aura+10+10+10 ~¡± Brian put his hands behind his back and strode into the boundless black gas. He stood still and looked straight ahead. ¡°Those who come from afar are guests. With friends coming, wouldn¡¯t the mighty Ghost General be willing to show himself?¡± ¡°Hahaha! Friends? I have no friends. My friends are all dead. I killed them myself!¡± As he spoke, a black figure walked out of the black fog. Before the figure arrived, Brian felt an abnormally cold aura. If not for the flames protecting his body, he would have frozen into an ice sculpture. For a moment! Cold and hot, two completely different auras appeared at the same time. They were clearly separated into ice and fire. Through the Left Oculus of God, Brian saw the appearance of the person. Dressed in a dark black evening gown with mysterious symbols drawn all over it, the style looked simple and unadorned. It was probably a product of the last century. From head to toe, it was dressed in black. It gave this figure a mysterious feeling. Unfortunately, she was wearing a cloak, so her face could not be seen. However, judging from her voice, she should be a woman, or rather, a female ghost. Seeing the main character appear, Brian activated the Ghost Deceit Spell! Activating the Ghost Deceit mode. ¡°Hey! Madam Morgana, aren¡¯t you going too far by kidnapping my people on my territory?¡± ¡°Your people?¡± Brian laughed. ¡°If he¡¯s not mine, does that mean he¡¯s yours?!¡± ¡°Oh! Your man, then call her. See if she agrees?¡± Huh? This female ghost wants to play tricks? Brian realized that something was wrong. Morgana waved her hand and the black fog behind her instantly opened up a path. A beautiful woman slowly walked out from behind the black fog. ¡°Hello! Madam Celia!¡± Before he could rejoice, Brian noticed something unusual. Eyes! Everyone knew that eyes were divided into many colors, and Celia¡¯s eyes had always been as blue as the ocean. But now, the strange thing was that Celia¡¯s eyes had turned completely black. Her two black eyes were like an endless abyss, making people fearful just by looking at them. ¡°Celia, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Are you bewitched by this female ghost? If you¡¯re threatened, just say it or even blink?¡± ¡°Hahaha! Don¡¯t waste your time. Your woman has already been controlled by me. I¡¯m her master now. She¡¯ll do whatever I tell her to!¡± As if to confirm her words, Celia walked out and stood directly behind Morgana, ignoring Brian¡¯s call as if they were strangers. ¡°Master!¡± ¡®F*ck! I was tricked?¡¯ Hearing this voice, Brian finally knew why the female ghost was fearless. Because Celia was already under her control. Right now, not to mention Brian, even if Celia¡¯s own father came, it would be useless. Without giving Brian time to think, his worst fear happened. Morgana pointed. ¡°Celia, kill this man in front of you!¡± ¡°What the f*ck, you pervert! You actually came up with a trick like killing each other!¡± At this moment, he had no choice but to burst out, because following Morgana¡¯s order, Celia had rushed forward, expressionless, looking ready to fight Brian. In order to avoid accidentally injuring Celia, Brian had to put away the flames on his body. ¡°Hahaha! There are no eternal friends in this world. There are only eternal interests. What I hate the most is friendship, so¡­ all of you can die. Damn friendship!¡± Morgana seemed to be recalling some unbearable past, roaring and laughing continuously. Although Celia was a woman, because she had grown up in the military compound, her skills and combat skills were very sharp. If it was not for Brian¡¯s fitter body state, he would have been beaten up. At this moment, the system prompt sounded. ¡°Ding! The opponent¡¯s level is higher than the host by two levels. The grievance is too strong. Ghost Deceit Spell is ineffective against him!¡± The Ghost Deceit Spell did not work. Brian was ready. But now, he was also facing a predicament! In order to avoid accidentally injuring Celia, he could not use the Flame Power now. Because of the terrain, the power of the Water Ghost could not be used at all. What about the Mirror Technique? ¡°Ding! The opponent¡¯s ghost general strength is two levels higher than the host. Mirror Technique failed!¡± What the f*ck! Even the Mirror Technique had lost its effect?! To be honest, ever since the system was activated, the Mirror Technique had always been a trump card. This was the first time that the Mirror Technique had failed. But now that things had come to this, Brian had to start thinking of other plans. He felt like he had missed something important. His mind was in a whirl. Brian began to think as he dealt with Celia¡¯s attack. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. Why didn¡¯t Morgana do it herself? Why did she manipulate Celia to kill him? ¡°In that crematorium, other than me, there¡¯s another powerful character. She claims to be the Hell Demon General Morgana, but because I live in the crematorium that can borrow the Flame Power, she¡¯s unwilling to provoke me.¡± The Flame Power!!! Brian remembered the words of the female fire ghost Alifene and instantly thought of the key point. Perhaps Morgana did not stop to attack simply because she wanted to see them kill each other. Rather, it was because she was afraid of him, or perhaps it was more appropriate to say that she was afraid of the Flame Power on his body. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth. These elements complemented and countered each other. Even if it was the same object, there would still be two sides to it. Even if it was opposing, there would still be conflict. Thus, the cold air corresponded to the fiery attribute. The key to dealing with her was fire! Brian figured it out. He grabbed Celia¡¯s attacking fist. ¡°Hey! Madam Morgana, why are you always wearing a cloak?¡± ¡°Is it because the plastic surgery failed?¡± ¡°Oh! No, it¡¯s because she looks too horrible to look at, so she doesn¡¯t dare to show her true face, right?¡± There were many taboos about women. Firstly, age, and secondly, looks. As long as these two points were mentioned, one would be infuriated. Even Ghost General Morgana was no exception. Morgana, who had been watching from the sidelines, changed. Her expression became increasingly ugly and she began to tremble with anger! Seeing her performance, Brian knew he had to add fuel to her fire. ¡°Right. You said you didn¡¯t have any friends. You killed all your friends?¡± ¡°Let me guess! Was it because you scared me?¡± ¡°Or perhaps, it¡¯s because you don¡¯t have any friends at all and you only made friends out of nothing in order to make up for it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be angry! I know it¡¯s not your fault. If it¡¯s wrong, it¡¯s society¡¯s fault. It¡¯s this world¡¯s fault!¡± Under Brian¡¯s powerful verbal attack, Morgana collapsed! ¡°Stop talking, stop talking!¡± ¡°I killed them because¡­¡± ¡°Why? Tell me, handsome Brian is willing to give you a chance to explain!¡± ¡°Because, because they all deserve to die!¡± As if recalling some unbearable memory, Morgana went completely berserk. She stared straight ahead, like the darkness of the eternal night. Her entire body suddenly emitted a shocking chill. That kind of chilliness was another kind of state produced by extreme rage. Morgana slowly removed her cloak. Woah!!! A beautiful and cold face appeared in front of Brian. Chapter 29 Time seemed to stand still the moment Morgana lowered her cloak. ¡®Oh my god! I was wrong!¡¯ Not only was Morgana not ugly, but she was also stunningly beautiful. Unlike Celia¡¯s sexy beauty, she had an extremely cold beauty! That exquisite face was like a finely carved jade. She was flawless and stunning! But what surprised Brian even more was that after Morgana put down her cloak, a system notification appeared above her head. Her data was green. In other words, there was no evil value on her hands, nor was there any blood on them. Was this possible? It was impossible, right? Brian fell into deep thought. It was fine for him to be stunned, but his hand movements slowed down by half a beat because of that. He suddenly felt pain in his abdomen and he took a few steps back. ¡°Damn! Are you trying to murder your husband?¡± Celia assumed a knee position, her stiff expression showing a hint of anger. She seemed a little angry and jealous. ¡°Hmph! Mr. Bryan is still the same. He can¡¯t even walk when he sees a beauty. How disappointing!¡± Brian¡¯s eyes lit up, but he did not mind the sarcastic words. ¡°Ah ha! Lady in high heels, you woke up faster than I thought!¡± ¡°Who do you think I am? How could I be controlled by such a demonic art? I¡¯m only trying to beat you up because I don¡¯t like you!¡± Brian laughed heartily and did not say anything. Some things could be kept to oneself. Life was already so difficult, so why expose them? But it was his calm demeanor that made Celia unable to vent her anger. At this moment, although that icy queen-like figure did not do anything else, it still incited Celia¡¯s anger. ¡®Hmph! And you!¡¯ Damn female ghost, she actually made a big rat under the bed to scare me. She even dared to think of controlling me to fight with Brian. Damn it! ¡°Regardless of whether you are a human or a ghost, you have to pay the price!¡± As soon as he said that, he was furious! Following Celia, she turned around neatly, touched the gun, bent down on one knee, and pulled the trigger. The entire process could be said to have been completed in one go. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three consecutive shots were fired. Hearing the gunshots, Brian thought, ¡°This is bad.¡± He saw the three bullets shoot out and arrive in front of Morgana in the blink of an eye. However, unlike what Celia had imagined, the bullet did not hurt the other party at all. Instead, it strangely floated in front of him. Looking at that cold and elegant face, a sense of extreme danger began to emerge in his heart. ¡°Oh no! Crouch!¡± Just as Brian spoke, three floating bullets suddenly changed direction and fired back at a faster speed. The bullet had been fired from Celia¡¯s pistol, so naturally the opposite direction was aimed at her. However, the bullet was too fast for Celia to react. It would be too late for her to react. The bullets were getting closer and bigger in size. At this critical moment, Celia felt her vision go black as a figure threw herself under her. The next moment, the sound of bullets hitting the wall came from behind. This was a really extreme rescue. If he was a step late, the consequences would be unimaginable. Brian breathed a slow sigh of relief. This woman with big breasts and no brain. She knew that the other party was a Ghost General and yet she still dared to shoot. Brian really did not know whether to call her brave or fierce! Eh? This place is quite soft! In the dark night, Celia¡¯s face suddenly turned as red as a cooked lobster. ¡°Bastard, where are you touching!¡± ¡°Oh! I¡¯m sorry, ma¡¯am. I couldn¡¯t help it. Oh no! I didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡± Thinking that he was only trying to save her, Celia tried not to lash out. ¡°What should we do now? Can the two of us join forces and defeat this female ghost?¡± ¡°Join forces?¡± Brian shook his head. ¡°Lady in high heels! When did this handsome man say that he wanted to join forces with you?¡± ¡°But this guy doesn¡¯t fear bullets. I can¡¯t deal with him alone!¡± ¡®Speaking of which, I didn¡¯t ask you to do it!¡¯ Brian sweated. He was starting to doubt what was going on in this woman¡¯s head. However, he could not be bothered with the current situation! He took a few steps forward, putting some distance between them. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re not allowed to live-stream the incident today. As for the difficult task of catching ghosts? Leave it to me!¡± Celia was about to say something when she suddenly swallowed it! Scorching flames began to spew from Brian¡¯s body. This man was like a god of fire walking on earth. The majestic fire instantly dispelled the coldness in the surroundings! His confident voice echoed through the entire crematorium. ¡°Dear lady in high heels, go ahead and put the car on fire. Maybe by the time you turn the car around, I will have already taken care of the situation.¡± Celia was not sure if she was infected by his confidence or something else. She hesitated for a moment before obediently walking out. The familiar sound of high heels faded away. In fact, Brian had laid down his trap when they had first started fighting. He looked like he hadd been playing hide-and-seek with Celia, but he had already communicated with the system to begin absorbing the ghost aura from her body. Now that he had finally saved her, there was no need to hold back anymore! As for this Ghost General? No matter if she was good or bad, she had to be taken down today! Was he just blindly confident? No, victory was already in his grasp. His burning gaze met hers. It was a pair of cold eyes. The air was distorted. ¡­ Meanwhile, after getting rid of Morgana¡¯s control, Celia easily walked out of the crematorium. When she looked back, the scene behind her had already turned into a purgatory. Flames and ice interweaved together, making it look like hell had been split between ice and fire. ¡°With the power of flames. Is that the same ability as Simmons?¡± Simmons was an elite in the special department. He was naturally good at controlling flames. It was said that he had reached Grade A and was very powerful. Simmons¡¯ power was very similar to Brian¡¯s Flame Power. No wonder she misunderstood. What Brian did not know was that his performance just now had been labelled as a mutant by someone. In the crematorium, Ice and fire. Two different types of energy surged forth, creating a white mist in the air. Explosions resounded incessantly. Soon, the smoke dispersed. A scarlet flame shot out! Brian charged straight into the cold air. At this moment, there was a rare change on his cold face. Through the previous exchange of strength, Morgana knew that she was no match for Brian even if they continued fighting. Besides, she was not trying to fight with him. However, it was too late to say anything now. As Brian used all his fire power, there was a one-sided battle. In the blink of an eye, Morgana was in trouble! Balls of scorching energy formed a cage and surrounded her. She was like a turtle in a jar. No matter how much cold aura surged out of her body, it was still difficult for her to defend against the extreme flames. This did not mean that she was weak. Firstly, she was already at a disadvantage due to the suppression of attributes. Secondly, Brian¡¯s Flame Power had been upgraded to an advanced state, and its power had increased by 40 times. What was it like to have the Flame Power increased by 40 times? It was similar to boiling magma. Anyone who had seen the volcanic eruption knew that when the lava spurted out, not to mention the snow mountains and glaciers, even steel bones would melt. Morgana¡¯s face showed no emotion as she faced the approaching flames. ¡°Is it over? That¡¯s great!¡± She seemed to have accepted her fate and closed her eyes. She quietly waited for death to arrive. But was that the end of it? Obviously Brian would not allow it. ¡°Heh! You¡¯re giving up on your struggle just like that? You¡¯re ruining my mood!¡± A mocking voice was heard! Bryan walked out slowly with the flames burning on his clothes. ¡­ Chapter 30 The wall of flames was within reach. Endless heat waves rolled over. But Morgana was cold. So was her heart. Even her voice naturally carried a chill. ¡°I¡¯m no match for you. Do it. If you kill me, everything will be over.¡± Although ghosts were different from human life forms, the heavens were fair. This was because both ghosts and humans only had one life. If they died, they died. Looking at the female ghost in front of him who wanted to die, Brian felt angry and amused. ¡°You captured my people and made us play the game of killing each other. You even messed up my room. Now, you want to end everything with death? Do you think it¡¯s that easy?¡± ¡°You¡­ Then what do you want?¡± ¡®Hehe! You¡¯re asking me what I want?¡¯ This handsome man had many ideas. He was bold and unrestrained, without any boundaries. If he said it out loud, it would scare one to death! Morgana was not even afraid of death, so she should not be afraid of anything. However, seeing Bryan¡¯s strange gaze, the Class B Ghost General felt panic for the first time. Brian took out his cigarette box unhurriedly! A flame ignited between his two fingers and lit the cigarette. Although he was not confident that the fire had caused a large portion of the cigarette to be burned, Brian did not mind and took a puff. Puff! White smoke mixed with a gentle breeze blew past, gently stirring the icy beauty¡¯s hair. It was lively and elegant! ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you really not afraid of death?¡± ¡°Do whatever you want!¡± Morgana turned to the side, using her actions to show her determination to die. ¡®Since you want to die, I can¡¯t let you have your wish.¡¯ A famous philosopher once said that a beautiful woman was like a beautiful scenery. It would be a pity if such a beautiful scenery disappeared. ¡®Oh! Philosophy calls people to do good. I¡¯m too kind!¡¯ Brian clicked his tongue and studied the woman before him. Damn it, it was indeed a beautiful scenery. ¡°She has a curvaceous figure and is straight and slender. If the full marks was 10 points, I¡¯ll give her 9 points.¡± ¡°Look at her face. Her skin is smooth and she¡¯s naturally cold. I¡¯ll give her 9 points too!¡± ¡°Her personality? Everything else is good, but she¡¯s a little cold. Could it be that she¡¯s cold in that aspect too?¡± ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll count to three. If you don¡¯t say anything, you¡¯re admitting it, right?¡± ¡°Three, two, two and a half¡­¡± She sized him up seriously and added some comments. Brian had become a professional beauty pageant expert. He would even have friendly interactions with Morgana when he felt good. It was an one-sided enjoyment. Morgana¡¯s face was a mixture of blue and red. Her chest was heaving up and down violently, just like her current mood. It was hard for her to calm down. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Morgana, just say what you want to say. Don¡¯t hold it in. This is the era of liberal democracy. Our country has always advocated freedom of speech.¡± The most uncomfortable thing in the world was not how someone did not let one talk, but that when someone gave one the microphone, one did not know how to talk about it. That was what happened to Morgana now. ¡°Alright! If you¡¯re too embarrassed to say it, I¡¯ll say it for you!¡± Brian raised an eyebrow. ¡°Oh! Is it because I praised you, so you want to praise me for being handsome too?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. If you want to say it, just say it out loud. After all, many people think so. I am alright if you say it too!¡± Brian sighed. ¡°Sigh! Actually, I¡¯m blaming myself too. I¡¯m just a handsome guy born like that, I didn¡¯t even put into serious effort!¡± ¡°What if I was being serious, then¡ª¡± ¡°Stop talking, kill me!¡± The coldness of Morgana¡¯s face was no longer there. Her flushed face was tinged with anger. She looked as if she was extremely furious. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that I won¡¯t let you die so easily?¡± Seeing that the provocation was almost over, Brian stopped laughing. Of course, he was doing this to spite the Ice Queen, but at the same time, he had other important goals. Brian had many questions which he needed answers. With Morgana¡¯s cold personality, if he had asked her directly before, there was a high chance that he would not have gotten an answer. However, if he asked her now, he would definitely get an answer. After laying the foundation for so long, it was time to test the results. He started with a simple question. Brian cleared his throat. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get back to the topic. I¡¯m very curious. Earlier, you said that you killed your friends. Is that true?¡± ¡°Yes and no!¡± Morgana, who had never liked to explain herself, now had to lower her haughty head. She did not like either of them, but she was more inclined to this current conversation than she had been on the subject of the demons or ghosts. The experiment was successful. Brian waited quietly for the next part, because he knew the story he would hear would be exciting. The time for a cigarette quietly passed. She was silent for more than ten seconds. Morgana held her head high, her proud gaze fading. ¡°I, Morgana, awakened my superpower 300 years ago. The moment I woke up, I had the full amount of frost attribute. At that time, I was very happy and invited a few friends out to celebrate. I remember that I was just 20 years old that year¡­¡± Her voice suddenly changed. There was a hint of sadness in the joyous tone. Her memories stretched further into the past. Brian seemed to have returned to the past through the sound. He witnessed everything from a third perspective. It was on a scenic hill. ¡°Wow! Come here! There¡¯s a weird dragonfly here.¡± He followed the sounds of laughter. Three young and inexperienced figures suddenly stopped and walked, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It turned out that they were chasing a colorful six-winged dragonfly. This dragonfly was very beautiful and sly. Every time they were about to catch it, the dragonfly would find an opening and fly away. The interesting thing was that even if it flew away, it would not fly far. It stopped on the grass a few meters away, as if it was deliberately teasing the three of them. Brian smiled at that too. It seemed that everyone had similar childhoods. His childhood memories had similar scenes. After working for so long, it was both tiring and wonderful! Although they managed to catch the dragonflies in the end and even hit each other¡¯s heads when they crowded together, they were still having a good time. When Morgana and her two friends were tired from their fun, they leaned against a boulder to rest. She took this opportunity to share her joy with her friends. ¡°Congratulations, Morgana. Speaking of which, you¡¯ve awakened your superpower. From now on, we¡¯re from two different worlds. You won¡¯t despise us, will you?¡± One of the teenage girls was forcefully tugged by another 18 or 19-year-old boy. ¡°Maiya, I won¡¯t allow you to say that. Morgana is our best friend. How can you say that?¡± Maiya lowered her head. No one saw the hesitation in Maiya¡¯s eyes when she lowered her head. ¡°I¡¯m just expressing my feelings, Amos. I hope you don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± ¡°Morgana, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Seeing that her two good friends were in a bad mood, the joy in Morgana¡¯s heart was washed away. ¡­ Chapter 31 She stood up and looked over the two of them. ¡°Hey! Maiya, Amos, both of you will always be my friends. From now on, whether you¡¯re rich, poor, healthy, or sick, I¡¯ll never despise any of you!¡± To be honest, Brian, who was personally present, was somewhat moved when he heard that. At that time, she was as naive as a child, but her words were firm. As she spoke, Morgana suddenly laughed. She smiled and said, ¡°What¡¯s there to dislike between friends? Didn¡¯t you guys also dislike my background?¡± Maiya and Amos exchanged glances before nodding with smiles. Unlike Morgana, who grew up in an orphanage, their family was not noble but they were also a wealthy family. According to the current family values, Morgana was indeed of a higher social status. Although they did not make it very obvious, they had always thought so in their hearts. This ¡°high social status¡± allowed them to obtain an extremely high sense of honor and satisfaction when interacting with Morgana! However, everything would soon change! ¡­ The scene changed to darkness! When Morgana regained her vision, such a strange sight appeared in her eyes. A circular magic circle surrounded her. Poor Morgana was trapped in it, unable to move. She looked up. She was not used to those vicious eyes, not to mention that there were two pairs of them. Seeing the situation clearly, Morgana was stunned for a moment before a puzzled smile appeared on her small face. ¡°Hey! Maiya, Amos, my friends, what game are you playing?¡± ¡°Hahaha! Game? Yes, we have an interesting game that requires your cooperation.¡± ¡°Friends, I really want to accompany you, but I¡¯m going to learn special powers from my mentor. Next time, okay?¡± Morgana¡¯s smile held a hint of helplessness. Today was the day she was going to learn from her mentor. She should have gone yesterday, but she had secretly run away for the sake of her friend¡¯s promise. ¡°Hahaha! Maiya, look at how funny she is! She thought she could go back!¡± Amos laughed wildly. ¡°Oh! Morgana, I¡¯m sorry to tell you that you can¡¯t go anymore!¡± ¡°Why? I have awakened my special powers. Why can¡¯t I go?¡± Seeing Morgana¡¯s proud expression, the silent Maiya at the side also gave a firm look. ¡°Oh! Look at how insufferably arrogant you are now. I hate it when you¡¯re like this, so¡­ give up everything you have!¡± ¡°Because your status doesn¡¯t match it at all, you are an orphan who¡¯s worse than a commoner.¡± Having heard that, combined with her current situation, even the simple-minded Morgana understood the thoughts of her two young companions. They were trying to use the power of the evil array to transfer their powers. She had previously heard about this kind of array from her special powers instructor. Because the success rate was terrifyingly low, very few people would use it because if they failed, both parties would die. This was an undisguised gamble of one¡¯s life. Under normal circumstances, who would gamble with their life for no reason? But now she had seen it for herself. There really was such lunatics, and they were his two good friends. Morgana bit her lip hard and she did not even notice that she began to bleed. Helpless and sad emotions began to spread. ¡°Why? Aren¡¯t we friends? Why did it end up like this?¡± ¡°Friends? Oh no!¡± ¡°You are just a poor orphan while we are of a higher status. Have you ever heard of tigers and sheep being friends? I have to say, your way of thinking is laughable!¡± ¡°Come on, let¡¯s not waste any more time. From tomorrow onwards, we are also geniuses with special powers. Hahaha!¡± The array was activated! The frost energy on his body was being extracted continuously! The heart-wrenching pain came from all over Morgana¡¯s body, but it could not compare to the coldness and sadness in her heart! ¡°Friends? Why would a tiger be friends with a sheep? There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This is the so-called friendship¡­¡± Morgana muttered to herself as the frost energy around her grew more intense and violent. Actually, what they did not know was that the biggest reason for the failure of the array transfer special power was that it would be affected by the fluctuations of the person involved. If one did not willingly give up their special power, it would be very easy for other emotions to arise during the process. Most of these emotions would cause the energy to go berserk and ultimately cause the transfer to fail. However, how many people would be willing to give their special powers to others? This was also the reason why the success rate of this method was pitifully low. The viciousness of these two former friends succeeded in arousing Morgana¡¯s wrath. Prepare for the roar of the ice and snow! What friend! What friendship! Just let this snowstorm end! Morgana closed her eyes in relief. ¡°Oh no! What is this damned commoner trying to do?!¡± ¡°No, no! No!¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t gotten special powers, how can I die¡­¡± Under their horrified gazes, powerful frost energy suddenly erupted. It was a loud bang! Endless frost aura broke through the formation and buried everything within a ten-meter radius. In midsummer, the first snow arrived. With the innocent girl¡¯s relieved smile, beautiful snowflakes fell one after another. Snow fell like a tide and covered the ground! A moment later, when the strange snow and frost scene disappeared, there was nothing left but ice. ¡­ Huff huff huff! The story ended and Brian regained his senses. He finally understood why Morgana had such a disdainful and even hostile attitude towards friends and friendship. It was obvious that she was someone who had been backstabbed by reality. In fact, whether it was the Blue Planet of the past or the present Bran Empire, there were people who encountered injustice and were persecuted every day! They had no choice but to learn how to be sharper. ¡°Do you know? I really envy that woman. I envy her for being able to meet a man who took a bullet for her!¡± Brian covered the wound on his hip and grinned. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to find out. Looks like my acting skills still need to be improved!¡± In fact, he did not avoid all the bullets when he saved them earlier. It was just that Celia, the brainless woman, did not notice it. It could only be said that the female ghost was very observant. Even such a hidden wound could not escape her eyes. But so what? If he wanted to kill Morgana now, he only needed to wave his hand. Moreover, she had already become a trapped beast in the cage. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I sympathize with your plight, but you shouldn¡¯t have crossed my bottom line!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve crossed my bottom line. The consequences are serious.¡± Morgana frowned at that. A rare trace of abnormality appeared on that flawless icy face. ¡°I didn¡¯t hurt your friend. I went to the castle just to look for someone!¡± ¡°Look for someone?¡± Who was she looking for that she needed to go to his castle? There were only two people in the castle. It was obvious that she had intentionally let Celia off. That meant that she was not looking for Celia. Could it be¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right, I am looking for you!¡± ¡­ Chapter 32 The moon was hidden in the dark clouds and the dark night began to envelop the earth. She was already feeling a little scared, but this damned darkness made everything worse. ¡°Mr. Brian, you bastard. You didn¡¯t even tell me that the car was locked. You caused me to be standing here in the wind! What a bastard!¡± Although she was complaining, her limbs betrayed her worries. The wait was always so long. As time passed by, she began to worry. The crematorium was now calm but Celia¡¯s heart was the exact opposite. It was strange! Logically speaking, there was no movement from the crematorium. The battle should have ended. Thinking of Brian¡¯s confident look, Celia felt that the female ghost was not his match. Even if Brian was not its match, he should have escaped by now! Why had nobody come out after an hour? Thinking about it, Celia began to panic! Just as she was about to get off the car to search, two figures walked out from the darkness. ¡°Ohh! Lady in high heels, are you planning to look for me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not. I just want to see if the female ghost is dead.¡± Delighted, Celia looked in the direction of the voice. Then, her expression froze. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but things can¡¯t go as you wish.¡± The cold voice was very calm, but it made people shiver in the middle of the night. ¡­ Since Brian was injured and not suitable for driving, this glorious task fell on Celia. The car drove steadily but the atmosphere in the car was strange. Everyone remained silent as if they had their own thoughts. When everyone returned to the castle, it was already five in the morning. In the hall, a cold figure stood gracefully in front of the seven-colored floor-to-ceiling window. Ten minutes ago, she had been in the same position and had not moved. Brian turned around on the sofa. He looked troubled. Unexpectedly, after she came out, she put on that symbolic cloak again. It seemed that she had not completely put it down. He did not know if what she said was true. Could it be that she was just finding an excuse to blame him? Forget it, there was no need to think about anything else. If she did not want to enter the ghost realm, so be it. Since she had already subdued it, he would think of a way to bring her in. ¡®In my hands, everything is not up to you anymore. If I want you to kneel down and sing ¡®Conquer¡¯, you have to listen obediently. Hiss hiss¡­¡¯ Before he could finish fantasizing, a wave of pain pulled him back to reality. ¡®Oh! What is this woman up to again?¡¯ ¡°Hey! Madam Celia, are you sure you¡¯re a doctor and not a vet?¡± Brian asked with a grin. ¡°Mr. Varoka, the chief military doctor of the Seventh Army, is my teacher. What do you think?¡± Was the chief military doctor of the Seventh Army very powerful? Brian hesitated when he saw the sharp knife. ¡®Isn¡¯t it just bringing back a pitiful female ghost? I don¡¯t even mind, why do you mind?¡¯ Looking at the bow tied to the wound, Brian regretted asking Celia to help with the wound. ¡°Cough cough! Have you settled it?¡± ¡°Yes! Bastard Brian, you won¡¯t die for the time being. The bullet has been taken out. Suture the wound and observe it for a few more days. It¡¯ll be fine as long as it¡¯s not infected.¡± Ignoring Celia¡¯s strange tone, after Brian made sure the wound was all right, he was eager to leave. Halfway through, she was suddenly pulled back. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Ma¡¯am? What else do you have to say?¡± Celia stared intently at the back of the figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a look of apprehension and dissatisfaction on her face. From her point of view, Brian had originally gone to the crematorium to rescue her, but now, not only did he not destroy the female ghost who had abducted her, he even brought her back and lived under the same roof as the female ghost. Just thinking about it made her feel creepy. The key was that the female ghost was so beautiful. Who knew if Brian had ulterior motives! ¡®That¡¯s not right! It¡¯s none of my business if he has ulterior motives. It¡¯s purely because I have to stay here for a few more days. Yes, that¡¯s all!¡¯ ¡°Hey! Mr. Brian, don¡¯t you have anything to explain to me?¡± ¡°Aha! You¡¯re talking about Morgana, right? She¡¯s already been subdued by me. Don¡¯t provoke her, and everything will be fine.¡± Brian smiled and waved at the air. The ice sculpture-like figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window instantly disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already between the two of them. ¡°What the hell, you still dare to come over!¡± Celia instinctively wanted to reach for her gun, but suddenly she froze. What a joke. This female ghost was not afraid of guns at all. She still remembered the lesson from last time. She did not want to do it again. Brian paid no attention to her actions, let alone Morgana. She was expressionless from beginning to end. ¡°Morgana, make your stand!¡± Brian¡¯s cold voice came almost at the same time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I shouldn¡¯t have scared you last time!¡± ¡°Hmm! This kid is worth teaching!¡± Brian nodded in satisfaction. Needless to say, he somewhat liked the feeling of being at his beck and call, not to mention the opponent was a Grade B Ghost General. Brian began to mediate! ¡°As the saying goes, it¡¯s better to squash enmity than keep it alive. Let¡¯s forget about the previous misunderstanding. Morgana, find a room to stay in later!¡± ¡°Oh! I almost forgot. Lady in high heels, if you¡¯re afraid, you can move into the room next to mine. I don¡¯t mind. You can even move into my room! Hahaha!¡± ¡°Hmph! Mr. Brian, you always like to dream about wonderful things!¡± Celia snorted and turned away. ¡°Why would I be afraid of her? You¡¯d better be careful. Don¡¯t sleep with this woman until midnight¡­ She¡¯ll crawl out from under the woman¡¯s bed and turn into a mouse to eat you up.¡± Initially, Celia wanted to talk about the female ghost, but for some reason, she did not. ¡®Big rats? Talking about those roasted rats?¡¯ Brian laughed and shook his head. After settling the human and ghost, he turned around and returned to his room! The matter of Morgana was complicated. Brian did not intend to tell Celia much. Firstly, these things had nothing to do with an ordinary person like her. Secondly, he had already promised to keep Morgana¡¯s secret. Going back on his word was not his style. Back in his room, Brian washed up briefly before he locked the door. As soon as he entered the ghost realm, he heard a series of notifications. Brian smiled contentedly. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully subduing a Grade B Ghost General. As this is the first time you subdued a Ghost General, the system will reward you with a new skill¡ªElementary Undying Body!¡± ¡°Ding! Congratulations host for completing the upgrade mission. Reward: 2 years of life, 1,200 attribute points, 500 ghost aura, constitution +10, mind power +10¡­¡± ¡°Ding! The host has reached Grade C Earth Master and has activated the merchant shop¡¯s exchange function. The update time is one month. Please wait patiently!¡± ¡°Ding! Activating other system functions. Host, please explore by yourself!¡± After the prompt, Brian entered a state of wonder. He felt his body clear up and the fatigue on his body was washed away. He felt refreshed all of a sudden. A moment later, Brian opened his eyes. He saw a flash of light. Chapter 33 Apart from some basic augmentation, the most important thing about the Guardian this time was that it had been rewarded with a special skill. It had also activated the long-awaited Ghost Mall. The strange state just now was brought about by that new skill. Note: Undying body, special skill. The host has received a certain degree of damage immunity. The recovery ability of the body has increased to ten times that of an ordinary person. After seeing the skill information of the Undying Body, Bryan¡¯s began to smile. The moment he was injured, he received such a practical skill. It was like a dry land suddenly welcoming rain. What a timely rain! Without hesitation, Brian upgraded his Undying Body skill to Advanced level. ¡°Beep! Undying body upgraded to advanced level. Recovery ability and immunity increased by 30 times. 500 attribute points required!¡± This time, he was rewarded with a lot of attribute points. It was the perfect opportunity for him to test the effect of the Undying Body! The upgrade notification sounded! Brian felt comfortable all over. The slight pain that he felt after the anesthesia subsided disappeared without a trace. He removed the gauze and took a look. Oh my goodness, the wound was healing at a visible rate. It had already turned into a small black dot. Ten seconds later, he looked again. There were no more wounds and his skin was as smooth as before. Gulp! ¡°Hahaha! Even Deadpool¡¯s recovery ability is similar to this!¡± Deadpool, the undying hero known in the Blue Planet, was famous for his terrifying regenerative ability and undying body. Brian thought of the classic line¡ª ¡®You can never kill me, but I can easily crush your balls!¡¯ Thinking about it made him feel very cool! Although he had yet to reach the stage of true immortality, he could already foresee that day. ¡­ In the largest commercial building in Gro City, in a luxurious office, the calm before the storm arrived. Due to a problem with a certain production segment in the factory, Old Bu¡¯s expression was very serious. Although he did not say anything, the people on the other side of the conference video felt an intense pressure. On the other end of the screen was the person-in-charge of the factory incident. From the bottom to the top, all the managers and managers were like children who had made a mistake. Finally, Old Bu spoke. ¡°Answer me, how many times have I told you about this?¡± Everyone lowered their heads in silence. No one dared to raise their heads. After a moment of silence, Old Bu sighed in disappointment. ¡°I often tell you that you have to be careful when you do things. Everything has to be done according to the rules and regulations. Yet, you still dare to try your luck on these matters.¡± ¡°In my opinion, a slip-up now is not a coincidence but inevitable!¡± ¡°Take a look at my office. Rules are the heavens, just like how no one has ever dared to barge into my office. This is called rules!¡± Bang! The video conference was at a critical juncture! Suddenly, there was a violent sound of the door being pushed open. A woman barged in violently. The staff in the video conference still had their heads lowered, but their eyes were already starting to drift upwards with strange expressions! Old Bu¡¯s heart skipped a beat and his face tensed up. He had just said that no one would dare to come in and the next moment, someone came in. This was a blatant challenge to his authority. Furthermore, there were still people from several subsidiary companies watching! If he did not handle this matter properly, how was he going to convince the public in the future? It would be a joke if word got out. Old Bu suppressed his anger, the veins on his forehead were bulging like worms! ¡®What are those security guards doing? Didn¡¯t I say that no one is allowed in?!¡¯ Old Bu turned around with an angry face and his expression immediately changed. ¡°Oh! Selina! It¡¯s you!¡± When he saw who it was, Old Bu greeted her with a smile! ¡°Hey! Selina, my dear daughter, why didn¡¯t you tell me you were coming? You asked me to prepare your favorite food¡­¡± ¡°No need! Thank you.¡± Old Bu smiled apologetically. ¡°Okay, okay! It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want to eat. I¡¯ll make you some coffee.¡± Knowing that Selina would not visit unless she had something to ask, Old Bu waved at the people on the video call. ¡°Disperse, disperse. Go back and reflect on your mistakes this time. Forget it this time. Don¡¯t do it again!¡± The crowd, who were prepared to be publicly executed, felt as if they were suddenly pardoned after hearing this sentence. They could not be bothered to be surprised by their boss¡¯s different attitude and quickly exited the conference video. ¡°Alright, my dear daughter. I¡¯ve chased them away. If there¡¯s anything, just say it.¡± Selina took a sip of the coffee and frowned. ¡°What else could it be? It¡¯s all because of your precious son!¡± Upon hearing this, Old Bu immediately thought of something. ¡°Is there any progress on the matter that Brian told us about?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Selina nodded. ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Those people¡¯s residences in Gro City were arranged by the government. Do you think I would make a mistake about this!?¡± Old Bu smiled apologetically. He had asked a stupid question. Although Selina had not inherited his business, she was doing very well in the government. She knew everything about the government, and since she had come personally, it meant that the matter had been confirmed. The father and daughter talked for a while and wanted to call the person involved to discuss. When the call connected, Old Bu greeted him warmly. ¡°Hey! My good son, how have you been recently?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not your son. What¡¯s the matter?¡± A lazy female voice sounded from the other end of the phone, clear and pleasant to the ears. The moment they heard this voice, Old Bu and his daughter looked at each other with different expressions. As a veteran, Old Bu seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes revealed an appreciative smile. His oldest daughter was almost 30 years old, but she did not have a boyfriend. Speaking of which, Brian was more reliable. He had given him such a big surprise. Young man, well done! After receiving the call, Old Bu¡¯s gloomy face immediately brightened up. Although he could not see him over the phone, he could hear the joy in his voice. ¡°Hello! Ma¡¯am! I¡¯m Brian¡¯s father. May I ask when you met Brian? What do you think of him?¡± After a moment of silence, the voice on the phone became gentler. ¡°We¡¯ve only known each other for less than a month. As for him¡­ I guess he¡¯s alright!¡± The unctuous voice on the other end of the line did not dampen Old Bu¡¯s enthusiasm. He went on. ¡°Are you living together now?¡± This time the silence on the phone was longer. ¡°Mm! I¡¯ve moved to the castle for a few days!¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± Hearing Selina¡¯s cough, Old Bu finally remembered why he called and ended the conversation. ¡°Hey! Ms Selia, it¡¯s nice to chat with you, but I need to talk to Brian about something. Is he with you now?¡± ¡°Oh! He was too tired last night and should be asleep by now. Do you need me to wake him up to answer the call?¡± ¡®Too tired? Too tired such that he fell sleep?¡¯ ¡®F*ck, not only are they living together, but the two of us have already progressed to that stage? Looks like my business empire will have a successor!¡¯ ¡®Why should I bother him at such an important time? They are just a few people from the special department. How are they more important than my own grandchild?!¡¯ ¡°Hey! Miss! You don¡¯t have to wake him up. If he¡¯s tired, let him sleep a little longer! ¡°Hehe! You guys have to work hard. I¡¯ll visit you guys in a few days!¡± Beep beep beep! Celia, who hung up the call, was confused! She thought about calling Brian, but the scene at the bottom of the bed had her reeling again. After hesitating for a while, she placed her phone on the sofa. Judging from his father¡¯s attitude, it should not be anything important. It was better to wait for him to get up first. Chapter 34 The second day arrived. In Gro City, near the suburbs, it was already late at night and most of the lights in the houses had already been switched off. Only a few street lamps were still stubbornly glowing. Under the cover of the night, three figures dressed in strange clothes flashed out from the roadside. If anyone recognized the logo on their clothing, they would be shocked because the three of them were Special Department personnel who dealt with supernatural phenomena. All three of them had their own special powers. Even if they were separated, they could deal with supernatural events on their own. Furthermore, one of them was a Grade D special power! People with special powers were considered higher ups in the Special Department. The three elites from the Special Department had taken advantage of the darkness to come here. Their purpose was naturally not as simple as taking a stroll. The three of them locked onto the direction and walked straight to the door of a villa. The lights were dim and there was no sound. The man in the lead was the first to stop. His right hand was clenched into a fist, and the center of his fist was pointed forward. Seeing this, the other two members of the team tacitly approached him. ¡°Everyone, listen up. Be careful later. Remember to give the signal if you discover something. Everyone else, provide support as soon as possible!¡± The two team members replied with smiles, clearly not taking his words to heart. One of the team members said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Boss Ross. How can there be any powerful characters in this small Gro City? Even if there is, count it unlucky for him to meet us, hehe!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Boss¡¯ superpower has already reached Grade D. All the ghosts and monsters are not your match. Haha!¡± ¡°F*ck! The occupational disease of carrying out missions is acting up again. Although today¡¯s matter isn¡¯t a mission, you two bastards shouldn¡¯t relax too much. Do you understand?¡± Although Ross warned them, his face showed that he enjoyed it. He also did not take this matter to heart and only mentioned it as a routine practice. Based on the information they received, the person hiding here was just an insignificant character. If it was not for someone paying a high price of five million yuan to get them to help, they would not even have the interest to come and take a look. However, when he thought about how the three of them came to Gro City, they were only following orders to investigate a little brat¡¯s business. Now that they could conveniently earn some extra money, why not? ¡°Begin! Soli, I¡¯ll leave the gate to you!¡± ¡°Look! Boss Ross! Three minutes to deal with it.¡± At Ross¡¯s command, the team member named Soli took out his short knife skillfully. Two minutes later, the metal door opened. Bang! In the quiet night, the sound of violent kicking was especially abrupt. Fortunately, other than the villa in front of them, the nearest residential area was a thousand meters away. Otherwise, who knew how many people would wake up from their dreams. ¡°Split up and take action. Be careful.¡± ¡°Roger!¡± ¡°Roger!¡± Considering the size of the villa, in order not to waste time, they decided to fan out and explore the surroundings. According to the landlord, the villa was located in a more secluded area due to the hope of staying away from the noise. When the construction was going on, a few lonely graves had been arranged into the planned positions of the villas. The working period was about to end, but they still could not contact the family members of the lonely graves. The construction foreman was also someone who cared about money more than his life. He directly drove the bulldozer and flattened their graves. After that, everything went back to normal and everyone gradually forgot about this matter. The project was also handed over to the house owner before the construction period. But after the villa was built, the strange things that happened here were unusual. The owner of this villa was originally the owner of the real estate company. As he had many houses under him, he did not live in the villa himself after it was built. Instead, he chose to rent it out. The strange things that happened later also made the boss celebrate that he was lucky that he did not move in. Those who had lived here before all realized that the villa was haunted. Some people said that they saw children playing soccer on the roof in the middle of the night. Some people said that there were always people knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Some claimed that they heard a woman crying when they were sleeping. In short, no one could stay beyond the second night. They all left in a hurry that day. As time passed, the various versions of haunted tales became more and more exaggerated! No one dared to approach this villa even if it was sold at a low price. The luxurious villa that he had spent so much money on had been left empty until today. Finally, the landlord managed to get in contact with Ross. He then asked them to help him deal with the supernatural incident. The camera cut back to the villa. After Ross and the other two separated, they began to search in different directions. They walked for a while. The team member named Soli came to a bedroom. ¡°Damn it! It¡¯s been at least two or three years since anyone came here, damn it!¡± Soli grumbled as he pulled on his mask. The furniture and furnishings in the room were covered with a thick layer of dust. It seemed that no one had come to clean for a long time. The moment he opened the door, the dust began to float around. The pungent smell of dust mixed with an unknown stench constantly stimulated one¡¯s sense of smell. Soli looked around and found nothing unusual. Just as he was about to leave the room, a round black ball rolled to his feet. ¡°Uncle! Can you help me pick up the ball?¡± Right at this moment, he suddenly heard a tender voice. Seeing that there was no response, the voice sounded again. ¡°Uncle! Can you help me pick up the ball?¡± Soli looked down and was delighted. What was beneath his feet was no football. It was clearly five million yuan in cash. He kicked the object under his feet. It gurgled and circled him. Suddenly, the spherical object spoke up. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk! Thank you, Uncle. Let¡¯s play soccer together!¡± ¡­ On the other side, in Old Bu¡¯s office. ¡°Okay! I got it. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal someday!¡± Hearing this, a surprised male voice came from the phone. ¡°Haha! Goddess Selina, I took your words seriously. Alright, I¡¯ll wait for your call.¡± ¡°Yes! Bye!¡± Selina put down her phone. ¡°Old man, the fish has taken the bait!¡± Hearing that the plan was going well, Old Bu felt relieved. ¡°Hehe! If you want to interrupt Brian¡¯s plan to build a human, you¡¯ll have to see if I agree!¡± Old Bu said suddenly. ¡°By the way, Selina, do you think Brian¡¯s first child will be a boy or a girl? Do you think I should think of a name for both a boy and a girl? I¡¯ll be prepared!¡± ¡°Um¡­ You decide!¡± Selina did not expect him to ask such a question. ¡®This old fellow! Seriously!¡¯ ¡®Forget it, this might be the old man¡¯s pursuit!¡¯ Although she did not understand, she did not say much and got up to leave. At that moment, Old Bu was still writing something on the paper with his head lowered. He did not send her off as usual. Selina turned around when she reached the door. ¡°Old man, I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯ll look for you when I have news!¡± ¡°Alright, bye!¡± Old Bu replied without looking up. He lowered his head and looked at the names on the paper. Unsatisfied, he wiped and wrote again and again. It looked like he was going to have a hard time with this paper today. By the time he came back to himself, Selina was already far away. He looked around but did not see anyone. Old Bu was still feeling depressed! ¡°Hmph! My dear Selina, when did you leave? You didn¡¯t even tell me that you were leaving!¡± He turned to look at the names on the paper and started muttering again. ¡°What¡¯s the boy¡¯s name? This one is elegant but not prominent. This one is prominent but not elegant enough.¡± ¡®Oh! Giving a name is such a headache!¡¯ ¡­ Chapter 35 On the other side, Brian came out of the ghost realm and learned that Old Bu was looking for him. He turned around and called Old Bu. The father and son talked for more than ten minutes, during which there was some disagreement. Brian walked gloomily back to his room. When he appeared again, the gloominess from before was gone and his face was full of amusement! Brian snapped his fingers. ¡°Hey! Morgana! There¡¯s a guest in Gro City. Let¡¯s go join in the fun!¡± Swoosh! Brian waved his hand. The cool black figure appeared, hesitated a moment, then took Brian¡¯s outstretched arm. ¡®Hehe! That¡¯s more like it!¡¯ ¡®Let¡¯s walk hand in hand. We are all good friends, let¡¯s go!¡¯ ¡°Hey, hey! Where are you guys going?¡± Celia ran after them, looking puzzled. ¡°The eastern coconut groves in the suburbs!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you wherever you go. Don¡¯t even think about leaving me alone. Hmph!¡± ¡­ In a villa in the suburbs, the team leader, Ross, stood at the side with his arms crossed. Meanwhile, his two team members were surrounding a small waist ball and attacking it continuously. One of them held onto a blood-red shield as they chased and intercepted the enemy while the other wielded a silver saber. The division of labor was clear and there was no room for cooperation. A shield made of special materials, coupled with the strengthening of his special ability, was more than enough to block the little ghost¡¯s attack. The silver long saber was a little particular. Silver weapons that had been specially processed could kill demons and ghosts to a large extent. It was said that it was a lethal threat against vampires, and Soli¡¯s superpower was to increase the sharpness of the weapon, which complemented the long saber. The children, who had been laughing happily just a moment ago, soon lost their tempers after being beaten up by the two armed men. They kept growling like angry little beasts. But no matter how he screamed, it was useless. In less than ten minutes, the little ghost had already been tortured badly. The ball in its hand had also been stepped on until it was a mess. He was sent flying several times by the shield-wielding team member. His body was also cut by the silver blade and black gas kept flowing out. This scene was amazing! It felt like a large-scale child abuse scene! If they were seen by the Children¡¯s Protection Association, they would definitely sue them in court. They were beasts! They would not even let a child off! However, that little ghost was not human! Seeing that the little demon could no longer stir up any waves, the three of them were secretly happy. ¡°Haha! He¡¯s really a small character. Boss Ross, I told you that you don¡¯t need to do anything. The two of us can deal with him!¡± ¡°You two little brats, don¡¯t be too careless. Be careful not to fail miserably.¡± Captain Ross laughed. Subsequently, their attacks became even more fierce. Suo Li laughed as he raised his silver blade and forced the little ghost into a corner. A strange energy flickered on the blade. The little ghost struggled and roared. Just as he was about to deliver the final fatal blow to the little ghost, the next second, something unexpected happened. ¡°Help!¡± ¡°Mommy! Come quickly! There¡¯s a bad guy who wants to kill me!¡± Little ghost¡¯s voice rang out and a black aura suddenly swept over. Whoosh! Black gas rose everywhere! Soli and the rest quickly retreated and returned to Captain Ross¡¯s side. When their vision recovered, a woman with disheveled hair appeared where the little ghost was. This woman was as thin as a matchstick and wore mottled white clothes. Her long messy hair covered her face but everyone could clearly feel her anger. The moment the woman appeared, everyone had a bad feeling. Captain Ross, who had been performing steadily all along, broke out in cold sweat. Soli lowered his voice and asked, ¡°Boss, what grade is this ghost?¡± ¡°Grade C¡­ this female ghost has reached Grade C!¡± ¡°Tsk! Boss is a Grade D special power. She¡¯s one grade higher than Boss¡­¡± Soli was at a loss. ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over! This female ghost has gone berserk, we can¡¯t defeat her at all¡­ How is this five million? It¡¯s just a death talisman?¡± They would never have thought that they would encounter a Grade C ghost in a supernatural case they casually took on in Gro City. The grades were the same for ghosts and people with special powers. They were divided into Grade E, D, C, B, A from low to high. Of course, it was not that there were no higher levels. It was just that they had not been exposed to such information yet. Thus, with this comparison of strength, the three of them firmly fell into an absolute disadvantage. ¡°Mommy! Kill them. They broke my football. I want to take the one on their head.¡± ¡°Baby, be good. You can pick any three of them. If you like them, Mommy will bring them all to you later. Hehe!¡± The woman raised her head and stared at Ross and the others, her eyes filled with killing intent. ¡®F*ck, isn¡¯t it just flattening a broken football? This brat wants to use our heads as a ball to kick? This is too much!¡¯ ¡°F*ck you! Your ideas are too hard to deal with. Brothers, retreat!¡± As long as there¡¯s life, there¡¯s hope. At this moment, they forgot about the five million yuan. The three of them had only taken a few steps when a loud sound rang out before them. Soon after, the path they came from disappeared. Ross and others looked at each other, their faces ashen. Hehehe! ¡°Damn it! You want to leave after hitting my child! Haha!¡± Initially, when her grave was destroyed, the resentment in her heart was not small. Now that she saw her child being beaten to death by two men, the female ghost in white exploded and entered a berserk state! A ghostly figure rushed out and appeared before everyone in the blink of an eye. Before the shield-wielding teammate could react, he was sent flying. Even the blood-red hard shield had a huge dent. ¡°F*ck! You hit my brother, I¡¯ll fight it out with you!¡± Ross let loose a loud cry and electricity surged through his body as he hugged the female ghost in white. Lightning flashed! There was a loud explosion. The female ghost was stunned for a few seconds by his sudden hug. Then, she revealed a strange smile. The strong electric current hit the female ghost. Although it did not cause much damage except for a few strands of black gas, Ross¡¯s hug restricted her movement. However, the female ghost was trapped and Ross could not escape too. Feeling the disgusting touch on his face, Ross felt like crying. ¡°Soli, you bastard. What are you standing there for? Come and cut her!¡± After the female ghost found it difficult to break free, she licked Ross¡¯s face with her bloody tongue. The scene was extremely strange. At this moment, the man and the ghost were tightly wrapped by the electric current. Even after walking a few rounds, they could not find an opportunity to attack. ¡°Boss! Don¡¯t move!¡± Soli shouted as he retracted his blade. For a moment, he had no idea where to start. But Ross had already reached his limit. He gritted his teeth and refused to let go. He would not let go even if he died! He felt the wet thing hovering over his mouth. ¡®F*ck! This is my first kiss! I won¡¯t let you be no matter what!¡¯ ¡°Mmm mmm mmm, mm!¡± Although Ross did not speak, after working together for so many years, his simple teammates understood his meaning. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m coming!¡± The other team member had also recovered by this time. He mustered all his strength and charged forward with his shield raised. ¡°Youngest one! Let me help you!¡± Soli ran forward to help. Chapter 36 This was Gro City, the coconut groves in the eastern suburbs! As the car drove through the layers of coconut groves, the number of street lamps around them decreased. Sometimes, there was no light for hundreds of meters. Once inside, Brian activated the Left Oculus of God. The two bright headlights illuminated a limited area, but Brian could see the ghostly aura not far away. When they arrived at the villa, the black fog in front of them was like thick ink. The black mist cut off the path in front of him. ¡°Hey hey! Bastard Brian, do you have a death wish?!¡± Brian sped into the black fog, causing Celia to cry out in alarm. In her eyes, there was a black ditch in front of her. She did not expect Brian to step on the accelerator. ¡°Alright! Open the car window and see where this is!¡± The humid wind had wetted the car windows. From the inside, one could not see what was happening outside. As the car window slowly rolled down, a grandiose pastoral-style villa appeared in front of them. Ignoring Celia¡¯s surprised gaze, the car drove to a sheltered spot before stopping. ¡°Beauty Morgana, do you smell the demonic aura here?¡± ¡°Mm! A very weak existence!¡± Brian nodded in agreement. ¡°Hey! What are you two whispering to each other behind my back?¡± Celia was confused by their words. ¡°Sister Morgana! Tell me!¡± When she saw that Brian ignored her, she turned her attention to Morgana again, a sly gleam in her eye. ¡°There are ghosts here!¡± Morgana said expressionlessly. Ghost? Probably not expecting to hear this answer, Selia was stunned and looked around subconsciously. When she turned around again, there was nothing in front of her. Looking at the two of them walking further and further away, and then thinking about what they said about ghosts, she felt a chill in his heart. Ignoring her vanity, Celia took off her high heels and jogged after them. ¡°Hey! Wait for me!¡± ¡­ The front door of the villa was tight. The black fog that was so thick that it could not dissipate floated out of the courtyard. The door creaked open slowly, as if a refrigerator had been opened. Cold air gushed out. ¡°Protect Celia. You don¡¯t have to do anything else!¡± With that, Brian walked in. Just as they walked past the gate, they saw the scene in the courtyard. A middle-aged man was lying in the yard. There was a white figure hanging in his arms, giving off an extremely awkward feeling. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem right. The white shadow immediately sensed that someone had entered. It turned around and entered the courtyard behind it. Its speed was not something a human could do. Brian hurried to the man. ¡°Bold ghost, don¡¯t touch my boss!¡± With a whoosh, two black figures from the left and right rushed over. Brian dodged, and the two black shadows could not stop in time and collided. ¡°Aiya! Soli, you f*cking killed me, my back!¡± ¡°With that bucket-like waist of yours, what are you talking about? Quickly go and see how Boss is doing.¡± Two disheveled figures climbed to their feet and limped toward the man on the ground. One was tall and the other was short. One was fat and the other was thin. Although they did not have any special features, Brian knew who they were before they came. His clothes were disheveled and his face was covered in dirt. Looking at their sorry state, they must have suffered quite a bit here! Brian laughed bitterly at the thought. ¡®Old man! Old man! You¡¯ve gone too far this time. It wouldn¡¯t be good if someone died.¡¯ ¡°Who are you? What are you doing here?¡± Another member of the special team helped Ross up, while Soli stared at the strange combination of two women and one man. His right hand secretly touched the silver blade at his waist. ¡°If you continue wasting time like this, your boss won¡¯t be able to support you anymore. Hurry up and send him to the hospital. Leave everything here to me!¡± Brian shouted and the two men reacted. They carried the unconscious Ross and prepared to leave. As they passed Brian, Solly suddenly stopped. ¡°Be careful of that female ghost in white. She has already reached Grade C!¡± ¡°Oh! I¡¯ve never seen such a powerful ghost. Even Captain Ross is no match for it.¡± Brian knew this information better than anyone else, so he did not want to waste time with them. ¡°Alright, hurry up and bring him for treatment. I don¡¯t care about a mere Grade C Spirit Ghost.¡± Soli and the other two frowned at this, but turned to look strangely at Brian, obviously thinking of something. ¡°Hey bro! Are you Brian, the college student who killed the water ghost?¡± Since he was already here, he had no intention of hiding his identity. Besides, ever since the news of the water ghost incident spread, he was prepared to reveal his cards. ¡°I¡¯ll never change my name, handsome Brian! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Brian waved them away. Soli forced an awkward smile and pouted at the ghost aura around him. ¡°Hey! The female ghost in white blocked the way out. We can¡¯t find the way out!¡± Brian had forgotten about this. He had the Left Oculus of God to lead the way. These members from the Special Department did not have it. However, it was not easy to get out! Brian shouted, ¡°Destroy!¡± ¡°Ding! Absorbing ghost aura+10+10¡­ ¡± In less than a minute, the thick ghost aura in the villa disappeared without a trace and the surroundings returned to their original state. A Grade A expert? The two of them naturally did not know that it was due to the system. They widened their eyes in shock. It was said that even they had never seen the real thing. After a special power reached Grade A, he would undergo a huge change. He would be able to control his abilities at will and achieve a state where he could command anything. Therefore, when they saw Brian¡¯s amazing operation, they thought that this was the so-called law. At this moment, the two members began to have subtle changes in their mind and their attitude towards Brian became respectful. ¡°Thank you so much for saving us, Mr. Brian. We will send Captain to be treated first. When Captain recovers, we will personally visit him to thank him!¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go!¡± Brian said calmly. Brian was only in his early twenties, and his ability to disperse the ghost fog had shocked them. But now was not the time to ask. Taking advantage of the fact that a path had appeared in front of them, the two of them quickly brought Ross away. After the two of them left, Brian returned to his usual uncouth self. ¡°Hey, Ms. Celia! Stay with Morgana. I¡¯ll go in and fight the female ghost for 300 rounds!¡± ¡°Be careful!¡± Brian nodded, then looked across the overgrown yard to a nearby house. The Left Oculus of God had locked onto the female ghost¡¯s location. At this moment, a black ball rolled out of nowhere. However, after the black ball appeared, a tender voice sounded. ¡°Hello, Uncle! Can you help me pick up the ball?¡± Celia immediately ducked behind Morgana and peeked around. Chapter 37 The ghostly fog dispersed and the cold moonlight shone into the courtyard. After sending off the three special teams, the surroundings fell silent. Unlike Morgana¡¯s indifference, Celia was clearly nervous. He wondered when the two of them had become so close. She kept pulling Morgana around to look around. Brian chuckled and whispered in Celia¡¯s ear, ¡°Hey! My dear lady in high heels, something is coming out. Don¡¯t be frightened later.¡± Celia jumped at that. She did not want Brian to underestimate her. ¡°Hmph! I¡¯m not afraid of anything! I¡¯m not afraid of demons!¡± Before he could finish speaking! Suddenly, her expression changed. She stared nervously behind Brian. His fingers trembled uncontrollably as if he had seen something incredible. ¡°Mr¡­ Mr. Brian, there¡¯s¡­ there¡¯s a¡­ head¡­¡± ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Behind you!¡± ¡°What head? Big head or little head?¡± Brian teased. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of.¡± Morgana¡¯s words were filled with contempt. With the help of their gazes, they saw a pitch-black ball-like thing rolling out from the dark corner. It turned out to be a round black ball that looked somewhat similar to a football. However, when he took a closer look, it was no football. It was clearly a rolling head. A little boy about seven or eight years old slowly walked out from the corner. The moonlight shone on the boy¡¯s body, but there was not a shadow on the ground. Everyone could tell that something was amiss. In other words, this child was definitely not a normal human being. Only then did Celia understand! Did Brian come here to destroy ghosts? ¡®Oh! Damn it, why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance? I should have called the troops over.¡¯ It was too late to say anything now! Celia¡¯s hand crept to her waist. Although she knew that firearms were useless against demons and ghosts, she still felt more confident with a weapon in hand. After a while, the little boy came to Brian and stopped about ten steps away. ¡°Keke! Uncle! Sister, how are you? Can you help me pick up the ball?¡± Although he was asking for help, the boy¡¯s eyes were burning, especially when he looked at everyone¡¯s heads. His eyes were practically glowing red. ¡°Brat, how could you address me that way?¡± Brian raised his eyebrows. He was obviously not happy with the term ¡°uncle¡±. ¡°These two are my girlfriends. If you call them sister, call me brother. Got it?¡± ¡°Be good! Call me brother and I¡¯ll return the ball to you!¡± Hearing this, Celia laughed out loud. Her smile removed a lot of the tension in her body. ¡°Hey! Lady in high heels, my charm is universally acknowledged. Why are you laughing?¡± ¡°No, I thought of something funny. Continue, continue!¡± ¡°What¡¯s so funny that you¡¯re laughing so happily?¡± ¡°Well, my best friend is married!¡± Tsk! What¡¯s so funny about that? I have to say, lady in high heels, you¡¯re really funny. Ignoring Celia, Brian turned to the boy. ¡°Hey! Brat, where were we?¡± ¡°Oh! Right, call me brother. Not only will I return the ball to you, but I¡¯ll also teach you a unique skill for free. You have to consider it carefully!¡± The little boy was still indifferent as he stared straight at everyone¡¯s foreheads. Suddenly, his red eyes flashed. Bang! There was a sudden explosion! The black ball under his feet suddenly exploded, and red and white liquid scattered in all directions. Oh! Damn brat, he actually launched a sneak attack! Brian quickly pulled the two of them back, nearly spilling the unknown liquid. Green and red liquid dripped onto the ground, emitting black smoke. It was unknown what kind of scene it would be if it landed on a person. ¡°Ding! Absorb part of the ghost aura, ghost aura+5!¡± ¡°F*ck! Seems like you want to do this the hard way! Tsk!¡± Seeing that the kid had made his move, Brian did not hesitate and rolled up his sleeves. A scorching energy burst forth from his body, and a ball of flames appeared in his palm. Brian waved his right hand and the flames chased after the boy ghost. The boy ghost was still feeling proud of his masterpiece when he was caught off guard by the ball of flames. The flames quickly expanded and several large holes were instantly burned in his clothes. A gentle breeze blew and the helpless little thong began to sway with the wind. Celia and Morgana saw this and blushed and spat at the rogue before turning away. The damage was not small and it was extremely insulting. The boy ghost had a strange expression on his face. Even though he was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, it was hard to express his anger. They had always been the ones toying with other people. Unexpectedly, he had also experienced the joy of being a victim today. Exasperated, a sharp sound escaped his mouth. ¡°Mommy, a bad guy broke my ball and burned me. Help!¡± ¡°Quick, compensate me with your heads!¡± Brian did not hold back anymore. He grabbed the small collar and lifted the small body up. Out of habit, he took a deep breath! A fiery slap landed on the boy ghost¡¯s butt. ¡°Ding! A portion of the ghost aura has been eliminated. Ghost aura+5!¡± ¡°Ding! A portion of the ghost aura has been eliminated. Ghost aura+10!¡± ¡­ ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± After Brian slapped him a few times, the boy ghost did not beg for mercy. Instead, his eyes were filled with ferocity as he shouted that he would kick everyone¡¯s heads like a ball! ¡®Aiya, kid, do you want to go to heaven? Does your family know that you are so arrogant outside?!¡¯ So, Brian struck again¡­ Slap! Slap! Slap! ¡­ As he lectured him on how to behave, he did not stop slapping. This strange scene stunned the two girls who were watching from the side. This was the first time they had seen such a strange ghost-catching scene. Morgana seemed to recall the last time she had been defeated by Brian. She silently turned her head to the side. Everyone was looking at the boy. No one noticed her odd behavior. The only sound in the empty courtyard was Brian¡¯s magnetic voice. ¡°Not only are you lying, you¡¯re also slandering others.¡± ¡°Who asked you to kick someone¡¯s head like a ball? You¡¯re thinking of killing someone before you¡¯ve even grown your hair.¡± ¡°Most importantly, you actually called me uncle. Do you have an uncle as young as me?¡± At that moment, there were only a few pieces of cloth left on the Fey Phantasm boy¡¯s clothes. When the scorching flames hit him, he felt a burning pain. He could no longer withstand it. ¡°Boohoo, stop hitting me¡­ I¡¯ll call you brother, okay? Brother, stop hitting me¡­¡± ¡°Louder, you¡¯re mimicking a mosquito¡¯s buzz. I didn¡¯t hear you clearly!¡± The boy ghost was frightened by the slap and looked dejected. ¡°Brother, brother, handsome big brother, please stop fighting!¡± ¡°Children should be polite, understand? Even if you¡¯re a ghost, you can¡¯t be so unreasonable. Don¡¯t twist other people¡¯s heads and play with them for no reason!¡± ¡°Understood, I won¡¯t do it again!¡± ¡­ Chapter 38 At this moment, apart from nodding his head, the boy ghost did not dare to do anything else. Some people preferred soft tactics over hard tactics, while others preferred hard tactics over soft tactics. This boy ghost clearly belonged to the latter. Brian slapped him one last time, laughing as he let go of the boy. ¡°Alright, call your elder out. I want to see how he teaches you normally!¡± ¡°Mommy! Big Brother is looking for you!¡± How could the boy ghost not know that Brian was different from everyone he had met before? This fellow was too terrifying, so terrifying that even ghosts would tremble in fear. Under the demon boy¡¯s call. In a house not far away, thick black gas began to surge out. A gust of cold wind blew towards them. The surrounding light began to dim. Brian was not surprised to see this. ¡°Wow! Is the big one finally losing its cool?¡± Under the effect of the Left Oculus of God, he could see everything around him clearly. This was the prelude to the main event. Without warning, whoosh¡ª His vision blurred and a woman¡¯s figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. This woman was dressed in white and her hair was disheveled. A long blood-stained tongue hung on the ground and every step she took would leave behind a long trail of blood. Celia frowned and whispered something to Morgana, her pretty face full of disgust! What the female ghost in white did not know was that she was despised the moment she appeared. At that moment, the female ghost was protecting the little boy tightly. She looked like a hen protecting its chick when it met an eagle. There was a hint of anger in her vigilance. Even though she had become a ghost, kinship was still an inseparable part of her. Unfortunately, they had provoked someone they should not have. ¡°This is the Grade C female ghost that Soli and the others mentioned. She doesn¡¯t look like much.¡± Brian sized it up and was very calm. From the very beginning, he had been subjugating ghosts across levels. Now that he even had a Grade B ghost, he naturally had no interest in a Grade B ghost. However, it was worth it this time. After the female ghost in white appeared, Morgana pulled Celia aside without a word. It was obvious that the female ghost before her was not worthy of her attention. What was wrong with this female ghost? Was she cleaning the floor? The bloody tongue moved back and forth on the ground, leaving marks of different sizes. The female ghost smiled sinisterly. Everyone lowered their heads to take a look. The bright red words were very conspicuous! ¡°Die!¡± After doing all this, the female ghost glared at everyone and finally fixed her gaze on Brian. ¡°Keke! Death is at hand. I wonder what you¡¯re laughing about?¡± Brian smiled and waved his hand, not caring about the female ghost¡¯s murderous gaze. ¡°Oh! I suddenly thought of something delightful. Continue, continue!¡± Celia was speechless. Although the female ghost in white did not know the inside story, she could clearly see the teasing look in Brian¡¯s eyes. She screamed and rushed forward, wanting to rip his head off for her son. Her long, straight tongue had become her weapon. It was like a bloody sword. The Grade C female ghost had some skills. Her tongue could be used as a weapon, but that was all. Brian lit a cigarette and extinguished the flame in his hand. Beside him, Morgana and Celia revealed their doubts. ¡®What dpes he want to do? Does he not even use the flames that he is good at?¡¯ In their impression, Brian¡¯s flames were a terrifying advantage. Did he want to fight the female ghost? Under their suspicious gazes, the female ghost in white floated over. His sword-like tongue turned into a beam of red light and stabbed towards Brian¡¯s heart. This female ghost clearly wanted his life. Even if he wore a bulletproof vest, he would still be pierced by her sword. Celia could not help but exclaim! ¡°Dodge, bastard!¡± Brian acted as if he had not heard the warning. Not only did he not dodge, he took a step forward against the long tongue. Not only did he not dodge, he even went up to him. This person was definitely a fool. The female ghost in white had already defined Brian. One second, two seconds, three seconds! Crack! The sound of flesh tearing could be heard. Looking towards the venue! Brian grinned and crossed his arms. Even her hair was not messy at all. On the other hand, the female ghost in white was not as calm. At this moment, the one-meter long tongue had already been snapped in half. She cried out in pain as she jumped around on the spot, her face filled with pain. Seeing this scene, the two ghosts and one man were shocked! ¡°Is Brian even human? I have reason to suspect that he¡¯s a monster, but I have no evidence!¡± ¡°He¡¯s become stronger again! It¡¯s really him¡­¡± Morgana looked conflicted. It was not just Selia and the rest who thought so. The female ghost in white was filled with disbelief. Now, she finally realized that she was wrong. The man before her was not a fool. She was the fool! ¡°Hahaha! Undying bodies are awesome!¡± ¡°What do you think? Do you still want to come? This handsome guy isn¡¯t just hard down there. There are even harder ones. Do you want to see them?¡± Brian smiled and took a few steps forward. He seemed to be getting a little carried away. ¡°Sob sob~ No¡­¡± ¡°No! No! Stop!¡± ¡°Should we stop or not?¡± The female ghost kept retreating and Brian¡¯s smile grew wider. Celia, who was watching from the side, was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Brian fighting ghosts. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that the plot in the TV series would happen in real life. Speaking of which, even the ghost catcher in ¡°Beautiful Woman and Ghost¡± was not as cool as Brian! The ghost was just a college student like her?! Celia was in doubt. She could not figure out how someone else could be so outstanding in nine years of compulsory education! At this moment, she was not the only one. Another pair of beautiful eyes were also shining. ¡­ ¡°Ding! Extinguishing a portion of ghost aura, ghost aura+20 ~¡± Hearing the system prompt, Brian hastened his attack. ¡°Hehehe! Women! They¡¯re all creatures who don¡¯t mean what they say. If they say they don¡¯t want it, they want it. Come on, don¡¯t be shy!¡± ¡°I am not a woman, I am a female ghost!¡± The female ghost in white screamed in her heart. Seeing that Brian was closing in on her, the female ghost in white panicked completely. She no longer looked fierce like before. Suddenly, she caught sight of Morgana and Celia. Her malicious eyes started to move up and down as if she was thinking of a bad idea. ¡°If I can¡¯t beat you, why can¡¯t I beat those two weak women?¡± With a whoosh, the female ghost in white darted toward Celia and Morgana. Perhaps because she felt the threat of her life, she was much faster than before. Brian immediately realized what the female ghost was doing. But he did not need to worry about that! ¡°Hey! Lady Ghost, I advise you not to provoke those two women! You can¡¯t afford to offend them!¡± ¡°Keke! Do you know fear now? It¡¯s too late!¡± The female ghost in white thought that she had caught Brian¡¯s weakness, and her hideous face had a smug smile. Hehehe! ¡­ Chapter 39 Amidst the laughter, the female ghost in white came aggressively and charged straight at the gate. Beside her, Celia and Morgana did not show any signs of panic. Among them, Celia was grinning at her. The female ghost was puzzled. Something was wrong! The female ghost thought to herself, ¡°Are these two women also powerful characters? No! That¡¯s impossible!¡± The female ghost in white shook her head vigorously, trying to erase that terrifying thought. There was no time for her to think too much. She could only walk down the dark path. She had no chance against Brian. As long as she caught the two silly women in front of her, she would have a bargaining chip to deal with Brian, or even kill him. Hehehe! Seeing that the female ghost was about to pounce on him, the face under Morgana¡¯s cloak was as cold as ice. ¡°Courting death!¡± A cold snort, barely audible but penetrating. Before the female ghost in white could figure out what was going on, her body flew back. After landing, something strange happened. Within a two-meter radius, snow was falling and a cold aura filled the air. ¡°Cold! So cold!¡± The female ghost hugged the boy tightly, but she still could not withstand the cold. The two ghosts shivered in the cold. ¡°That¡¯s right! I kindly reminded you not to provoke them, but you didn¡¯t believe me!¡± Brian came laughing. ¡°Come! Lost lambs, go to the place where you should go! There, wash away your sins!¡± With a thought, he communicated with the ghost realm. The mother and son pair, who had frozen into ice sculptures, instantly disappeared on the spot. Apart from the terrible mess and snow, it was as if they had never existed. Morgana was aware of the existence of the ghost realm, so she did not show anything unusual. On the other hand, Celia seemed startled, her beautiful eyes full of confusion. ¡®Do you believe that someone will use magic openly under the guise of magic?¡¯ At this moment, Celia had such doubts. She looked at the place where the ghost and his mother had disappeared and then looked back and forth at Brian. She could not figure out what had just happened. ¡°What about them? Those two damned evil ghosts¡­¡± ¡°I sent them to hell,¡± Brian said flatly. Sent to hell? Celia froze. ¡°Mr. Brian, you don¡¯t have to tell me if you don¡¯t want to. There¡¯s no need to make up such a ridiculous lie. I¡¯m not a fool. Hmph!¡± Hell. In the legends, Hell was a place to punish those who had committed crimes. Only by cleansing one¡¯s sins in Hell could one be promoted to heaven. However, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to send ghosts to Hell. Anyway, Celia did not believe him. If she entered the ghost realm, she would know that Brian was right. Currently, the ghost realm and his mother were accompanying the water ghost in the dungeon. That place was almost the same as the real hell! After cleaning up the mess, Brian looked around. Not to mention that the layout here was really not bad. Behind the front yard building was a rather large oval swimming pool. The two rows of roads were filled with scenic trees, observation corridors, and cobblestones. The surrounding rows of houses were orderly and unique. Behind them was a golf course¡­ This gorgeous villa was indeed not bad. However, thinking that it was built on someone else¡¯s grave, the three of them had no intention of appreciating it. After walking around the villa for half a circle, other than the two ghosts, one big and one small, they confirmed that there were no traces of other ghosts. Brian and the others retreated in low spirits. The matter had been taken care of and there was no need to stay here any longer. Brian called Old Bu to give him some instructions. Ten minutes later, everyone drove off. They had not gone far when Brian felt the corner of his shirt tug. ¡°Hey! What¡¯s wrong, Miss Celia? Did you leave something behind in the villa?¡± Celia shook her head. ¡°I have a suggestion. Should I say it?¡± ¡°Tell me what you want to say. Whether I want to listen or not depends on my mood!¡± Celia was stunned for a moment. Everything this guy did was so watertight! ¡°Brian, are you interested in joining the Special Department?¡± Special Department? Brian refused without thinking. He had never thought about joining the Special Department. One of the reasons was that he did not like being controlled. More importantly, he did not want to expose his secrets to others. Besides, what else could the Special Department give him other than a name and money? Moreover, Brian was not short of money. Celia did not understand what he meant and kept asking. ¡°Why? There are many people with special powers like you inside. Don¡¯t you want to meet them?¡± ¡°People with special power? Like Soli and the others?¡± Brian smiled but did not answer. Then, he threw her two more questions. Cough cough! At this point, Celia cleared her throat. Apparently, Soli and the others had not performed so well today. She explained, ¡°Actually, they are only one of the tens of thousands of members of the Special Department. Furthermore, Soli and his team were an ordinary team previously. There are many people stronger than them. Simmons is one of the powerful people with the special power!¡± ¡°He has Grade A Fire-type special power, just like you.¡± Brian had heard about people with special powers before. Very few people knew about this. He had only heard about it by chance. It was said that these individuals were born with special powers and were considered to be the evolution of superhumans. The probability of these individuals appearing was one in ten thousand. There were all kinds of abilities. There were all kinds of attributes in the natural world but there were also some strange abilities. The force that he saw today could make a knife sharp, which was a type of supplementary special power. Their special power would show signs after they were born. In order to prevent these natural special power from disrupting the social order, the Special Department would send people to take them away when they were just born and nurture them into sharp blades in the hands of the Special Department to deal with supernatural phenomena and events. In other words, these individuals had all kinds of strange special powers. Brian did not find it strange that someone with fire-type special power like him appeared in the Special Department. Furthermore, his fire was not a special power! Along the way, Celia had been talking about people with special powers, how powerful they were, and how powerful the Special Department was. Apparently, she knew some inside stories! Although Brian had no intention of joining the Special Department, he listened attentively. These people with special powers were as crazy as him, but to some extent, they were powerful and could not be underestimated. Because their systems were different from Brian¡¯s, their special powers would grow stronger with time and constant practice, so theoretically the strong were always strong, and there must be no shortage of powerful people among them. However, there were similarities between the two, even thoughthere was an enormous difference in their nature. For example, in terms of abilities, there was only one in ten thousand people with special powers, and everyone had a specific power that could not be changed. To be honest, some of them were random. In addition to the flames, Bryan had many other trump cards. The advantages and disadvantages were obvious. They chatted for a while longer. Before dawn, the three of them returned to the castle. Chapter 40 In an armed police hospital in Gro City. After leaving the villa, the Special Department sent Ross to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, there were no major problems. After taking the Recovery Potion, Ross lay on the bed and slept deeply. The three of them were placed in a special care unit. Apart from Ross, who was lying unconscious on the bed, the other two team members looked bitter. Soli was stunned for a few seconds before he slowly sighed. ¡°F*ck, we¡¯ve really suffered a huge loss this time. Where did this Grade C ghost come from? We really didn¡¯t get five million yuan and even got injured!¡± ¡°Fortunately, I¡¯ve already reported this matter to the department through the phone. The higher-ups will send someone down to handle it soon.¡± Listening to Soli muttering to himself, the other team member, Jack, seemed to have thought of something. ¡°Hey! Soli, do you think Brian can get rid of that ghost? If he really got rid of that thing, wouldn¡¯t we be reporting military intelligence?¡± Hearing this, Soli¡¯s expression suddenly changed. The department had a rule that if one lied or reported wrongly, they would be locked up in detention for ten days! Not a single department member was willing to have anything to do with the detention room. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Even Captain Ross¡ª¡± Halfway through, Soli did not finish his sentence. The young man named Brian left a deep impression on him. Originally, they had come to confirm the water ghost incident, but they had met up with him on a civil case midway. If he had not suddenly appeared, they would have been trapped in the villa together with Ross. Perhaps they would have become a corpse. ¡°But the information has already been reported. We don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in the villa.¡± ¡°Shall we go back again?¡± ¡°Return, my ass! If that female ghost is still around, we won¡¯t be able to come back this time.¡± ¡°Then what should we do? We can¡¯t just sit back and do nothing!¡± Soli¡¯s face was pale and even his voice carried a trace of anxiety. The two looked at each other in silence for quite a while. It was only when a deep voice sounded that the person on the bed behind her opened her eyes. ¡°I feel that Brian is not simple. The female ghost is definitely not his match. You don¡¯t have to worry anymore!¡± Eh? Upon hearing this familiar voice, the duo was delighted. ¡°Boss Ross, when did you wake up? Hehe! I told you Boss would be fine!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, who was complaining to me just now!¡± Soli rolled his eyes at the other team member. Seeing Ross struggling to get up, the two quickly shook the bed up. ¡°Boss, how are you?¡± ¡°Scram. What can happen to me? I¡¯ll be fine again in two days!¡± The two team members smiled apologetically and sat down at Ross¡¯s signal. ¡°Soli, where¡¯s my cell phone!?¡± When they first received the mission, they all had the same thought. They felt that Brian was just a broadcaster who was a gimmick. Later on, after many forces appeared to quell the influence of the water ghost incident, they further confirmed the authenticity of the matter. If it were not for the department¡¯s usual practice, they would not have come to a third-tier city like Gro City, and today¡¯s incident would not have happened. Fortunately, they came and discovered something more interesting. Today in his semi-conscious state, Ross clearly felt a burning energy. Brian was definitely not as simple as he seemed. His intuition told him that Brian was definitely a Grade C and this was a conservative estimate. Ross thought for a moment and finally took the phone and dialed the first number in his contact list! Beep beep beep! ¡°Hey! I¡¯m Captain Ross from Team 108. I have an important report¡­¡± ¡­ In the blink of an eye, several days had already passed! After dealing with the villa incident, the castle was quiet for a few days. She waved her hand and the car window blocked her view! After the black cars left, Brian expressionlessly looked away from the windows of the castle! All good things must come to an end! Unlike herself, Celia was still a student at the Bluefields College. It had been days since she had reported to the college and she was finally leaving today. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Can¡¯t bear to part with a beauty like Celia?¡± A beautiful figure appeared behind him. Before she could see him, a strange fragrance entered her nose. ¡°Hehe! The lady in high heels has studies. She¡¯s just here to experience life.¡± ¡°Besides, don¡¯t I have great beauty like you! Haha!¡± Brian smiled. The moment he turned around, he was stunned. Morgana looked completely different from her usual self. She had long removed her simple black robe and was wearing a light blue icy-snow dress. She was wearing a pair of exquisite light blue high heels and her hair was slightly loose. She looked cold and elegant. She did not know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a hint of strangeness in those cold eyes. Morgana said nothing more. Instead, she picked up a corner of the long dress and spun around on the spot. The icy-snow dress danced with her movements, just like a snow fairy that had fallen into the mortal world. ¡°How is it? Do I look good in this?¡± Brian nodded, obviously recovered. ¡°Oh! This outfit suits you very well. There¡¯s no doubt about it. It¡¯s very beautiful, my dear Madam Morgana!¡± Brian looked calm but he was muttering deep inside. He wondered what had happened to Morgana today. Ever since the crematorium, she had never put down her cloak. Today, she took the initiative to change into a beautiful long dress! Could it be that she had thought it through and decided to start from scratch? After all, it had been so long. Perhaps she had already thought things through. What happened in the past was just a fleeting memory. There was no telling when things would change in life. It was indeed not worth it to guard the memories of the past. That was all Brian could come up with. It was good that he had thought things through. He could also complete his mission. Although Morgana had always obeyed him, there was one exception¡ªbecoming a member of the ghost realm. In her words, her mission was to wait for someone. She was worried that she would not be able to come out after entering the space. Despite everything Brian had told her, the matter had been put on hold until now. Now, her change might be Brian¡¯s chance! ¡°Morgana, I¡¯ll take you to an interesting place!¡± ¡°You mean that ¡®hell¡¯?¡± Hell? Brian teased, ¡°Oh no, it¡¯s called the world of handsome Brian. At least it¡¯s a paradise for you, madam.¡± ¡®Heaven,¡¯ Morgana muttered! Brian looked hard out the window and closed the castle door. He smiled and took Morgana¡¯s small hand. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Morgana nodded gently. Before they could feel the strange touch of the ice and fire, they disappeared from this world in the blink of an eye! The first thing he saw was a blue sky and white clouds. Green trees surrounded them and the scenery was beautiful. Tall buildings stood tall and immortal air drifted about. Everything seemed like a paradise on earth. ¡°Hey! Dear Madam Morgana, welcome to the world of handsome Brian!¡±
