Psycho. Ghosts? Whatever.

At that moment,

A sharp scream pierced the air,

Bai Yuan was jolted into a momentary blank state,

Meanwhile, the ghost below had successfully freed itself from Bai Yuan’s grasp. It didn’t dare retaliate but instead ran towards the door without looking back…

“Damn, this trick again?”

Quickly regaining his composure, Bai Yuan realized that the ghost had escaped his hold.

Without hesitation, he chased after it,

At this time, the people in the hall, seeing the appearance of the Evil Ghost, screamed in terror, having completely forgotten the knowledge they had learned earlier.

The Evil Ghost’s gaze was filled with resentment as it grabbed a male student from the crowd,

This was the same student who had previously morally blackmailed Bai Yuan. Facing the horrific appearance of the Evil Ghost, his fear was maximally triggered,

The reason he had stirred things up wasn’t that he wanted to provoke Bai Yuan,

but because he was too scared and wanted to leave the hotel as soon as possible,

Now, his fear had become his death warrant, as the Evil Ghost targeted him immediately.

As the paranormal power invaded, the cinnabar bracelet in the student’s hand shattered into pieces, and his vitality swiftly faded.

The intangible fear nourished the Evil Ghost, slightly healing its wounds.

At this point, it looked back, saw Bai Yuan rushing towards it, shuddered, and dared not kill anyone else. It decisively ran upstairs…

Its speed was incredibly fast, even Bai Yuan was barely keeping up,

But just as it reached the second floor, it suddenly let out a scream of agony and its body bowed, with corpse water spraying all over the floor.

“Hmm?”

Bai Yuan was slightly startled, immediately noticing something was amiss with the ghost,

Strike while the iron is hot!

He didn’t hesitate, seizing the opportunity to land a punch that sent the ghost flying, followed by another violent and bloody scene.

The Evil Ghost continued to wail miserably, its gaze turning towards the upstairs as if in disbelief.

Its Ghost Technique had been broken!

At this moment, in the empty room 4024 upstairs, the bathroom mirror showed signs of cracking,

Then, a pale hand eerily extended from the mirror,

A man with a look of anger emerged from the mirror,

“Damn, it was a trap.”

Wang Li licked his lips, his eyes filled with anger.

He had come to check out the paranormal scene in advance, but unexpectedly got trapped by the Evil Ghost.

“It’s been almost a day, right?”

Wang Li looked outside at the sky, then seemed to remember something and said,

“Not good, the assessment for the Intelligence Class!”

His expression tensed up as he realized that while he was trapped, the ghost had taken the chance to escape.

This was bad news!

He didn’t hesitate and rushed downstairs, clearly hearing the noise coming from there.

Indeed, he saw hundreds of people gathered in a panicked cluster, the entire hall in utter chaos,

But when Wang Li appeared, the crowd’s terror intensified, some even desperately running towards the hotel exit!

“Stop!”

Wang Li frowned and, using his paranormal power, shouted, instantly calming everyone down.

“Are you Instructor Wang or a ghost?”

At this moment, Chen Qingli asked cautiously.

“Hmm? What do you think?”

Wang Li was momentarily taken aback, then extended his pale, jade-like right hand, as waves of paranormal power emanated from it.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Qingli breathed a sigh of relief and announced:

“It’s Instructor Wang, everyone! There’s no need to be afraid!”

Hearing Chen Qingli’s words, the group finally managed to relax, though they still hesitated to approach Wang Li.

“What’s going on here?”

“Instructor Wang, please go help Bai Yuan first, he’s currently dealing with that ghost!”

“Bai Yuan?”

Wang Li paused slightly, then immediately remembered him,

after all, the memory of the broken bone was still fresh…

“Yes, he just dragged that ghost into the bathroom, saying something about performing a ritual.”

“Dragged? Ritual? Bathroom?!”

A huge question mark might as well have appeared on Wang Li’s forehead…

What in the world is going on here?

Soon, under Chen Qingli’s guidance, Wang Li arrived at the second-floor bathroom,

Just as he was about to knock, Bai Yuan calmly walked out,

The two of them locked eyes,

“Pay up for protection!!”

Bai Yuan suddenly erupted, throwing a punch straight at Wang Li,

“Huh?”

Wang Li was slightly stunned, but as a Ghost Spirit User, his combat instincts were solid,

Boom!

Wang Li’s right hand, clad in a human skin glove, shot out and steadily caught the punch.

“Good thing I used the Accompanying Ghostly Entity…”

He sighed in relief internally, thankful for the ease with which he managed the catch.

“Are you crazy, kid?”

Wang Li’s mouth twitched, never expecting such a violent greeting…

“…”

Bai Yuan was about to strike again, but upon seeing the human skin glove, he immediately realized it was indeed Wang Li himself.

“Uh…”

He paused, then changing his punch into a palm, he touched the human skin glove and chuckled sheepishly:

“Teacher Wang, your Accompanying Ghostly Entity is really something…”

“…”

Wang Li’s mouth twitched again as he quickly withdrew his hand,

You really are sick…

He shook his head and decided not to dwell on it, asking:

“Where’s that ghost?”

“I killed it.”

“Dead?”

Wang Li was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He knew Bai Yuan was somewhat unique, but he was still just a human, and the ghost should have been able to trap even him, not a mere Weak Ghost,

And yet, it was beaten to death?

“Couldn’t help it, I’ve been itching for a fight.”

Bai Yuan shrugged and added: “It just happened to bump into me, isn’t that lucky?”

“…”

Wang Li was speechless,

Seriously, can’t you stop showing off?

“What about the ghost’s body? I recall it was a Cursed Ghost, right?”

“I smashed it, and flushed it down the toilet.”

“???”

Wang Li’s eyes widened again, exclaiming: “You flushed it down the toilet?”

After saying that, he immediately entered the bathroom, only to find splashes of remains and truly no trace of the body.

“Aren’t you worried about clogging the toilet?”

He had initially thought of bringing it back for official research,

But this guy had to pull a stunt like this…

Bai Yuan shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Not at all. As long as the body is thoroughly dismembered, it will be clean and leave no traces.”

“Huh?”

Wang Li looked over and exclaimed, “You seem very experienced with this?!”

He eyed the pristine scene, now genuinely suspicious. Could an ordinary person really pull this off? Could this guy have a criminal history?

“Uh…”

Feeling the skepticism in the other’s gaze, Bai Yuan quickly explained, “I learned it from the internet…”

“Is that so…”

“Teacher, you don’t believe me, do you?”

“Why wouldn’t I? You’re also my student, of course, I believe you.”

Wang Li smiled slightly, then turned to Chen Qingli and said, “Old Chen, check this kid’s record later.”

Bai Yuan’s mouth twitched. So much for trust-believing that I might have a criminal record, huh?

“By the way, Teacher, what is this?”

At that moment, he extended his right hand, revealing a pure white, round orb in his palm.

“This thing… um… can’t be flushed down.”

Wang Li paid no mind to his slip of the tongue, naturally not assuming anyone would eat a ghost…

“This is raw material for refining Ghost Crystals,” he explained. “Judging by the quantity, it could probably yield about two pieces.”

“Ghost Crystals come from ghosts?”

Bai Yuan was slightly taken aback, a bit of understanding dawning on him.

“Of course, otherwise we wouldn’t use them as currency in the paranormal industry.”

Wang Li shrugged and said, “You’re a regular person; you probably don’t need it. Thinking of selling it?”

“No need.”

Bai Yuan shook his head. He wasn’t short on money, so there was no need to expend the resource.

“Teacher, since you said this is currency, can it be used to buy other paranormal items?”

His gaze was profound as he continued, “Like, say, a living ghost?”

Ghost Face didn’t need Ghost Crystals, but they could be exchanged for a ghost, right?

“Hmm? Why would you buy that?”

Wang Li looked surprised and said, “The cost of capturing a living ghost is too high, and the authorities keep them for research. They wouldn’t be for sale.”

“Is that so…”

A hint of disappointment crept into Bai Yuan’s heart, but he still pocketed the Ghost Crystal.

If the official market wouldn’t sell, what about the black market?

“Alright, since the ghost issue is resolved, let’s all rest tonight and prepare to head back to school tomorrow.”

Wang Li turned to Chen Qingli and said, “Later, tell me about the whole process.”

“Teacher, I can tell it!”

“No need, I don’t want you confusing me even more!”

Wang Li flatly refused, having seen enough of this guy’s absurdities…

“And my reward…”

Bai Yuan felt a bit disappointed; he had hoped to embellish the story a bit to earn a greater reward, but Wang Li wasn’t buying his act.

Wang Li said, “We’ll discuss your reward after I’ve heard the full story.”

“Alright then…”
