Psycho. Ghosts? Whatever. - Chapter 13 - Ghosts Won't Attack People in Their Beds!

“??”

Everyone stared at Gao Yi, momentarily stunned by his demeanor. So you’re saying you’re not scared?

“Bai-Ge, come to my bed, it’s warm inside!”

“Bro, come over here, you can do whatever you want tonight.”

In an instant, everyone was clinging to Bai Yuan, some grabbing his legs, others his arms, and even someone wrapped around his neck…

The whole dorm was filled with fear and unease.

“Get off me, you guys.”

Bai Yuan used both hands to push everyone away and returned to his own bed. If it were before, it might have been a struggle, but with his improved physical condition, it was easy.

“Bai-Ge, you’re so strong, don’t leave…”

“Anyone who dares to get on my bed, I’ll kick them off!”

Bai Yuan looked at everyone and said, “We’re all so close in the dorm. If there really were a ghost, who could escape?”

Hearing this, everyone felt a bit more relaxed.

Bai Yuan asked again, “Yu Yong, check if there’s any reply from the original poster?”

“Let me see…”

Yu Yong opened his phone again and soon shrugged, saying, “The post is gone, it’s been banned.”

“…”

Bai Yuan wasn’t surprised, given how popular the post had become.

“Then let’s sleep.”

He stretched and lay down to sleep.

Zhou Han poked his head out and whispered, “Bro, don’t forget about my situation.”

“Don’t worry, just sleep.”

Soon, the dorm became quiet again. But except for Bai Yuan, everyone was restless, closing their eyes only to see those Embroidered Shoes…

And so, they spent the night in fear…

…

The next day,

Bai Yuan woke up on time, feeling refreshed and in excellent physical condition.

“That was a good sleep.”

Since he slept on the top bunk, he could easily see everyone’s situation. The rest of the dorm showed no signs of waking up, and everyone had their blankets pulled over their heads. Anyone who didn’t know might think it was a morgue…

“…”

Bai Yuan shook his head, realizing everyone believed in one truth: ‘Ghosts won’t attack people in their beds.’

He looked at Zhou Han on the lower bunk and touched his own chest. Although he slept well, he didn’t sleep deeply, ready to detect any warmth on his chest immediately. It seemed Zhou Han hadn’t been haunted.

Soon, the dorm lights came on, and despite their reluctance, everyone groggily got up. Their state showed they hadn’t slept well…

“Bai-Ge, how’s my situation? I dreamt about it again last night.”

Zhou Han eagerly looked at Bai Yuan as soon as he woke up.

“There’s no problem.”

Bai Yuan patted his shoulder and said, “Relax.”

Zhou Han still looked worried and whispered, “But last night, the coffin lid in my dream opened a bit…”

“Hmm? There’s a change?”

Bai Yuan was startled and quickly asked, “What was inside?!”

“I couldn’t see.”

Zhou Han shook his head, saying, “It only opened a small crack.”

“Is that so…”

Bai Yuan wasn’t sure what it meant, so he said, “If you’re still worried, you could go to a temple with your parents and get some Safety Talismans.”

“Didn’t you sell those before?”

“I was just wholesaling them for peace of mind…”

“Alright…”

Zhou Han nodded helplessly, trying to adjust his mindset. At least for now, it seemed that thing posed no real threat.

Everyone quickly washed up and hurried out of the dorm, diving into their studies. Last night’s incident was scary but just a small interlude; their main focus was still the upcoming college entrance exams.

…

A week passed quickly,

The Embroidered Shoes incident gradually faded from their minds. Although it seemed realistic, it was just an online event, too far from their real lives.

Bai Yuan hadn’t given it much thought from the start, immersing himself in his studies. He knew the world was changing quietly, but he still needed to balance his studies, planning to get into college first.

On the way home from school,

“Bai-Ge, what are we doing this weekend?”

Zhou Han looked energetic, much better than before. Clearly, Bai Yuan had given him a sense of security.

“You’re not running your stall anymore, so we can play some games. How about starting this weekend?”

Even though senior year was busy, they still had one day off each week for a bit of relaxation.

“No rush for games, I have something to do.”

Bai Yuan shook his head and said, “Han, your family runs a business, right? Do you have any channels to get rooster blood?”

Black dog blood was effective, but it wasn’t easy to get. Liu Banxian only had a small jar from when a dog died in his hometown.

If black dog blood was rumored to work, maybe rooster blood would too.

“Rooster blood? You can get it at the market, right?”

“I need that big red rooster, preferably raised in the countryside, the fierce kind, you know, fighting chicken?”

“…”

Zhou Han was momentarily stunned, then nodded and cautiously asked, “Does that work against ghosts?!”

“A little bit.”

“Then I’ll ask my parents when I get home!”

With this matter in mind, Zhou Han lost interest in playing and soon parted ways with Bai Yuan.

“Hope Han can find out.”

Bai Yuan muttered, thinking if rooster blood could suppress the supernatural, he should prepare in advance.

The market seemed unreliable, and he hadn’t even considered buying online, given the peach wood sword incident as a cautionary tale…

Soon,

Bai Yuan returned to his neighborhood, carrying a large bag of braised food, emitting a delicious aroma.

The school cafeteria filled him up, but the taste was hard to describe, and the nutrition was lacking…

Finally, it was the weekend, and he planned to treat himself well.

“Uncle Wang, off work?”

“Aunt Li, just bought groceries?”

“Xiao Dong, back from tutoring?”

Bai Yuan greeted the neighbors, and they responded, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.

Although the world had supernatural events, it hadn’t affected ordinary people’s daily lives.

After all, it seemed to be a rare occurrence, though Bai Yuan might be a bit unlucky…

…

At night,

Bai Yuan was watching an old TV while enjoying his delicious braised food. Tomorrow was the weekend, so as a student, he naturally wouldn’t sleep early, staying up as long as possible…

“It’s already midnight?”

Bai Yuan saw the TV displaying the time, and he glanced at his bare chest, seeing it was as usual, with no ghost face appearing.

“It’s been a week, you’re really not giving me any medicine?”

Bai Yuan frowned slightly, muttering to himself, “You’re such an irresponsible doctor, aren’t you afraid I’ll complain…”

Last time, just one pill boosted his physical condition significantly. While not a superhero, he was definitely stronger than the average person.

If he could take more, he might really become a superhero…

He loved the feeling of getting stronger while lying down…

But unfortunately, the ghost face wouldn’t give medicine without reason.

He had a theory in mind: to get more medicine, he had to feed the ghost face with ghosts first.

Trading ghosts for medicine, that was the deal between him and the ghost face…
