Psycho. Ghosts? Whatever. - Chapter 7 - The Ghost Face That Eats Ghosts?

Bai Yuan cursed under his breath and smeared black dog blood across his chest in an attempt to drive the other away, but it proved to be utterly ineffective.

“Not scared at all?”

His brow furrowed as he quickly began to think.

Soon, the severely wounded ghost was completely devoured and vanished into Bai Yuan’s body.

As for the ghost face, it too disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the first place.

At this point, Bai Yuan couldn’t care less about appearing abnormal. He lifted his own shirt and began to feel around, but found no traces.

Liu Banxian watched Bai Yuan’s bizarre actions and couldn’t help but step back several paces.

Lifting his shirt and rubbing his hands covered in dog blood back and forth-what is this if not madness?

Could he be possessed by a ghost…

“Uh… Bai-Ge…”

At this moment, Liu Banxian wanted to probe what exactly was going on.

“Hmm?”

Bai Yuan suddenly turned around and said,

“Old Liu, help me look for something on my body!”

With that, he took off his shirt, revealing a blood-stained torso as he approached Liu Banxian,

“…”

Liu Banxian shuddered more than he had at the sight of the ghost…

“What… what are we looking for…”

“The ghost face just now!!”

“…”

Liu Banxian’s legs trembled, already feeling like retreating…

“Quickly check, I’m not joking!”

“You guys go ahead; we won’t disturb you.”

At this moment, a middle-aged woman holding a child left the room, equally terrified,

This guy is even scarier than a ghost…

Ten minutes later,

The two searched thoroughly but still found nothing, as if the ghost face had never existed.

“Entered my body?”

Bai Yuan scratched his head, feeling a bit helpless.

“Enough.”

He sighed, resigning to his fate, and put his clothes back on.

As long as there was no danger to his life, he was unconcerned.

And the thought of a substantial reward brought a spark of excitement to his eyes.

“Old Liu, about the reward…”

Because he had gotten dog blood on his face earlier, his smile now was instantly filled with terror.

Liu Banxian involuntarily stepped back and asked:

“What reward? Wasn’t I just accompanying you?”

“Such high emotional intelligence?!”

Bai Yuan clapped him on the shoulder, saying, “But let’s not mention it, your black dog blood did the trick, how about an eighty-twenty split?”

“Bai-Ge, no need, that black dog blood isn’t worth four thousand.”

“I meant twenty for you!”

Bai Yuan glared at him before adding, “And can you stop buying knock-offs from now on?”

“It’s just cheaper…”

Laughing, the two left the room.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman had been waiting in the room, her eyes filled with gratitude,

Her child had finally returned to normal…

“Thank you so much, sirs!”

The woman’s expression was so moved she almost bowed on the spot.

“It’s nothing.”

Bai Yuan shook his head and raised an eyebrow, “We don’t do formalities, let’s be practical, pay up!”

Seeing this, the woman quickly took out the five thousand yuan she had prepared.

“If there’s any more trouble, just find Old Liu at the Overpass.”

“…”

Liu Banxian rolled his eyes, why come to me…

“Thank you both.”

The woman was delighted, not expecting there to be after-sales service.

Bai Yuan nodded, knowing since childhood that good service was crucial to business…

As the woman watched them leave, they departed from the place.

“Old Liu, here’s your thousand yuan.”

Bai Yuan kept his promise, handing over the money Liu Banxian was due.

“Bai-Ge, thanks…”

Liu Banxian thought for a moment and said, “What do you say we keep partnering up?”

“Haven’t we always been partners?”

“I mean for driving off evil spirits, it’s more profitable than just setting up a stall.”

“Forget it.”

Bai Yuan shook his head, not blinded by money,

Although Old Liu’s black dog blood was crucial today, the main thing was,

The ghost was too weak!

Apart from scaring people, it seemed to have no real power, and as for the ghost face inside him, it was unreliable, playing dead until the enemy was severely wounded before swooping in for an easy win.

Clearly, nothing serious…

“Really quitting?”

Liu Banxian had been hoping to cling to stronger support, especially since Bai Yuan had shown great prowess today.

“No! I’m not afraid of ghosts, but I’m scared you might get me killed!”

From today’s events, Bai Yuan had learned a lesson,

Old Liu was a total disaster…

“…”

Liu Banxian’s mouth twitched, did he have to be so blunt…

“We made some money today, how about we drink a bit?”

“Old Liu, you’re forty years older than me, what ‘we’ are you talking about…”

“We each keep to our own, you call me uncle, I call you bro, no conflict, right?”

Liu Banxian touched his nose, saying, “We might still rely on you, Bai-Ge…”

He had heard of supernatural events before and believed in them, but had never seen one.

After today’s events, he was truly convinced.

Now to make friends with Bai Yuan, if he ever encountered a ghost again, wouldn’t that be a call for help…

“Drinking is fine… but just to be clear, it’s Dutch treat!”

“Sure.”

The two found a street food stall for a rare splurge.

Given their financial situations, having barbecue and beer was indeed a rare occasion…

After three rounds of drinks, their relationship had noticeably improved,

Having shared experiences of setting up stalls, drinking together, and even catching ghosts together.

“By the way, Old Liu, I’m planning to clear out the remaining stock tomorrow, I won’t be setting up a stall after that.”

“Not setting up anymore?”

“It’s a crucial time now, busy studying.”

With today’s earnings of over four thousand yuan, plus the savings at home, it was enough for Bai Yuan’s needs during his senior year of high school.

“Alright, then I won’t keep the stall next to you.”

Liu Banxian looked a bit disappointed, though he could make more money, he felt a bit empty.

Moreover, having finally found a strong support, they were about to part.

Seeing his expression, Bai Yuan chuckled,

“I’ll leave you a phone number, if anything comes up, just call me. I can’t answer during the day, but evenings and weekends are fine.”

“Great!”

Hearing this, Liu Banxian’s spirits lifted, and the sense of loss dissipated somewhat.

“Old Liu, weren’t you always a believer in ‘meeting again if it’s meant to be’? Why are you so keen on leaving a phone number today?”

“Uh…”

Old Liu coughed lightly, “I’m keeping up with the times. Fate is unreliable, a phone number is reliable!”
