Psycho. Ghosts? Whatever.

“I want to join the Ghost Spirit Class!”

Bai Yuan declared with determination, “I don’t need the rewards from killing the Evil Ghost or from the assessment.”

“Join the Ghost Spirit Class?”

Wang Li was slightly taken aback, a bit surprised.

After all, many had dropped out recently, and here was Bai Yuan, willing to forego any rewards just to get in?

“But you’re just an ordinary person…”

He hesitated, truly valuing Bai Yuan,

but the main issue was that Bai Yuan was just an ordinary person, fundamentally different from Ghost Spirit Users.

“I can negotiate, and I can kill ghosts too!”

Bai Yuan spoke calmly, “And who among the current Ghost Spirit Persons can beat me? Shouldn’t we value strength more?”

Wang Li was a One Spell Ghost Spirit User, likely unable to defeat him, but those Ghost Spirit Persons, weren’t they easily handled?

“You do have a point…”

Wang Li sighed, “But the potential of an ordinary person is just…”

“Teacher Wang, could you please apply on my behalf? I just want to make a contribution in these chaotic times!”

Bai Yuan’s expression was solemn, tears glimmering in his eyes, “Do not let down my sincere heart.”

“…”

Wang Li twitched at the corner of his eye,

The words were fine, but coming from Bai Yuan, they just sounded so odd…

“Do you really have no ulterior motives?”

“No, what kind of schemes could there be…”

“That’s also true.”

Wang Li scrutinized Bai Yuan back and forth, feeling that Bai Yuan had his own agenda, but couldn’t quite pin it down.

“I’ll apply for you.”

“Thank you, Teacher Wang!”

Bai Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, his mood immediately lifted.

His desire to join the Ghost Spirit Class was not really to make a contribution, but rather to get closer to paranormal events.

To enter officially sealed paranormal scenes, one had to become a Ghost Spirit Person.

For him, Ghost Crystals were unimportant; consuming ghosts was what mattered!

Moreover, the status of a Ghost Spirit Person was exceptional, not only providing knowledge about the paranormal but also offering benefits beyond those available to ordinary people.

Although the Intelligence Class could also access paranormal events, it simply couldn’t compare with the Ghost Spirit Class.

…

In the afternoon,

three students from the Intelligence Class boarded the bus back to school,

each looking somber and lost in thought as they stared out the windows,

This test had also claimed some lives,

but what frightened them wasn’t death itself, but the sense of helplessness they felt facing paranormal events,

Ordinary people were mere playthings in front of ghosts,

They thought they had the courage, but only when actually facing a ghost did they realize how terrified they were.

To say nothing of facing a ghost alone, even when the ghost emerged from the bathroom and approached them, they were scared stiff, instinctively forgetting to resist.

Chen Qingli, sitting at the front of the bus, sighed as he looked at everyone’s expressions.

Except for Bai Yuan, who scored perfectly, everyone else had failed.

However, he did not mind too much, as it was their first direct encounter with an Evil Ghost.

“It will get better…”

Chen Qingli looked out the window, muttering to himself:

“But how many will survive in the future…”

At that moment, everyone was filled with sorrow, yet Bai Yuan was in good spirits, beginning to plan his future.

“The Ghost Spirit Class is short-staffed, the government is also lacking people to fight against ghosts, plus I got this chance through rewards, and with Wang Li advocating for me, the odds are very high…”

Bai Yuan estimated in his mind, considering all the factors, that if he still couldn’t join the Ghost Spirit Class, he would just consider himself unlucky.

“Once I join the Ghost Spirit Class, I can start taking on missions and have more opportunities to confront ghosts…”

According to Chen Qingli, the Ghost Spirit Class and the Intelligence Class might be shuffled,

but no one knows when,

With the rapid changes of the times, Bai Yuan naturally did not want to waste time waiting.

“Paranormal events have been occurring for a few years, and certainly there are high-level Ghost Spirit Users within the government, but they still can’t suppress these events, which proves that the Evil Ghosts are even stronger…”

Bai Yuan understood that his future stage would be vast…

Soon, everyone returned to Ping’an City No. 5 High School, their expressions slightly relaxed.

No matter what, at least they had survived and returned…

“Alright, everyone take a break for the next couple of days.”

Chen Qingli spoke up: “Reflect on the mistakes made and strive to truly possess courage next time.”

“Also, if anyone wants to drop out of the Intelligence Class, come and see me afterward.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression shifted, as they each made their own considerations.

Bai Yuan didn’t care; he turned around and prepared to leave the school to go home and rest.

Just as he reached the school gate, he happened to run into Wang Li.

He blinked and said, “Teacher Wang, thank you.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Wang Li nodded, indeed taking this matter to heart.

In his view, having such a freak join the class was an incentive for the other Ghost Spirit Persons,

After all, if an ordinary person can be this extreme, what excuse do you have not to try hard…

…

In the evening,

Bai Yuan, holding a skewer, leisurely strolled by the riverside, his mood too relaxed to care.

“Tastes really good…”

He licked his lips, surprised that he had unwittingly achieved culinary freedom.

He now had over two hundred thousand in savings and lived alone, which would last him a long time since he didn’t pursue any extravagant material lifestyle.

“Next up is to get stronger…”

As Bai Yuan enjoyed the evening breeze, he made a firm resolution to himself, murmuring,

“To get stronger, I must try hard… take medicine!”

While Bai Yuan was motivating himself, he saw a crowd gathering ahead, including officers from the Public Security Bureau.

“Could it be another paranormal event?”

His mind stirred, and he approached without hesitation.

Now, encountering a paranormal event, he didn’t need to run away immediately, since he had strength, had illness…

“Uncle, what happened?”

“Sigh…”

The middle-aged man sighed and said, “Another person jumped into the river, about your age, truly a pity.”

“Is that so?”

Bai Yuan nodded and said, “Nowadays, with the paranormal wreaking havoc, indeed many people can’t hold on.”

Not everyone has the courage; when they see people killed by ghosts, many collapse mentally, unable to bear the pressure, and choose to end their own lives.

“Yes, this makes the nineteenth this month.”

“Huh?”

Bai Yuan was momentarily taken aback, then said,

“Uncle, but today is only the second…”

It’s only been two days…

“Didn’t you see the news? Just yesterday, thirteen people jumped.”

The uncle looked at the river brushed by the evening breeze, muttering to himself,

“Peace River is anything but peaceful, who knows how many bodies are buried there…”
