The Big Dipper App linked to her account has disappeared!
Xiao Yu was initially startled, but then a secret joy welled up inside her. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and asked, "Who are you?"
Xiao Yu's phone vibrated. When she looked over, she saw the Queen of Spades from a Playing Cards appear on the screen, with a flashing white cursor in the upper left corner.
You are very smart.
--The four characters flashed one by one.
Xiao Yu froze, staring at her phone with trepidation, but felt a sense of relief.
She guessed right.
The Haunted House is being controlled by someone, not by vengeful Fierce Ghost indiscriminately kill.
She had a feeling of being manipulated before, like Rat being toyed with by a cat. Huo Xun died because he bent down to check the pool of blood at the bottom of the stairs, but Ye Zhuxing stepped on the blood and nothing happened. At that time, Xiao Yu had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she did not guess that someone was behind it.
But later she lost consciousness on the rooftop, and when she woke up, she was lying safely in her room. Would Fierce Ghost do such a thing, showing mercy to a human?
So she suddenly had a flash of inspiration—perhaps the Haunted House had a new owner, or perhaps someone else was trapped Haunted House and was helping her out.
With the Big Dipper App, which was like a persistent ailment, gone, Xiao Yu always knew when to back down, didn't need to maintain any of that ridiculous prophetic persona at this time.
"What are your thoughts on your current situation?" This message appeared on the phone again.
"I'm very lucky," Xiao Yu said cautiously. Of the seven members of the team, she was the only one who survived; she was incredibly fortunate.
"May I ask who you are? Thank you so much for helping me escape danger." Xiao Yu's attitude was respectful with a hint of obsequiousness, just like how she used to treat her boss at work.
The cursor on the phone screen flashed twice. "I am Queen of Spades. You have been forcibly dragged into a Supernatural event by the Beidou Organization. To be frank, it's impossible for you to escape now."
Xiao Yu was surprised. "You know about the Beidou Organization?"
It was only then that she realized she could talk about the existence of Big Dipper with strangers without triggering any punishment mechanisms.
"We've been mortal enemies for years, of course I know that organization."
--That's a lie. Hu Jiu only learned the name Big Dipper from Xiao Yu when he was testing the hexagonal bell.
The Beidou Organization is indeed quite capable. The parasite inside the employees' brains can self-destruct when it senses an anomaly, destroying the host's brain and consciousness in the process.
Hu Jiu first subdued the worm before digging for information.
Xiao Yu checked her phone again and hurriedly asked, "I can't find the Big Dipper App anymore. Does that mean I haven't gotten rid of that organization yet?"
"I just blocked it temporarily." New text appeared on the phone.
Xiao Yu gritted her teeth. "What price do I need to pay for you to help me? I want to live. I don't want to be on the verge of death again and again in these Supernatural events!"
From the conversation just now, Xiao Yu had already deduced that the Queen of Spades must be an enemy of the Beidou Organization.
It's normal for a large, secretive organization like Big Dipper to have enemies, but Xiao Yu isn't naive enough to think Big Dipper the opposing forces of this ruthless organization are righteous. It's more likely that both are heartless bastards, just with different stances.
But now that things have come to this, does she have any other choice?
She didn't expect to escape from this mess of things. As long as the Queen of Spades offered her even slightly better compensation than the Beidou Organization, she would switch sides without hesitation, like a weather vane.
The Queen of Spades on the phone revealed a sinister smile, "I will spare your life."
"What do you need me to do?" Xiao Yu asked eagerly, knowing full well that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
"Spy!"
The Queen of Spades calmly uttered two words.
Hu Jiu was genuinely interested in this Beidou Organization; since they dared to extend their reach into Linjiang City, he naturally wanted to reciprocate.
Besides, he was originally thinking about how to bring this fictional organization of Playing Cards into the public eye, and now this opportunity to turn the fake into the real and use it to his advantage has come along.
The strength of the opponent can highlight one's own strength. With a large organization like Big Dipper as a point of comparison, the Playing Cards's prestige and mystery are immediately established. At least it won't become a laughing stock like the anti-Japanese war dramas that are self-indulgent.
"You want to plant me in the Beidou Organization as a spy?" Xiao Yu's expression was not good. As everyone knows, being a spy or undercover agent is a very risky job.
"Yes, that's right. With your current abilities, that's your only value," the Queen of Spades said bluntly.
Xiao Yu accepted it well; she was never a valuable person, neither in the past nor now, but she still wanted to fight for her life. "If I die, I won't be of any use."
"Don't worry~" The Queen of Spades chuckled furtively, and a sudden chill ran down Xiao Yu's spine...
Some people live in fear in Haunted Houses, while others are "forgetting all about home" in luxury hotels.
"Can I hold you a little longer?" He Ming stood in front of the Spirit Cat, his tempting hand reaching out.
"Get away from me~" The Spirit Cat swatted He Ming away with its paw, its eyes full of annoyance.
However, when a cat makes such an expression, humans only find it cute.
Although Headquarters repeatedly emphasized that Spirit Cat also had a formal position and status, and was a colleague within the system, He Ming it really difficult to treat it equally.
He Ming can become ethereal, so no matter how angry the Spirit Cat gets, it can't scratch him. It can only rage helplessly and sometimes has to endure him teasing the cat with his Phantom.
He Ming was actually in a bad mood, which is why he kept bothering the Mao Mao in an attempt to relieve his negative emotions.
On his first day in the Capital, everything went smoothly; he only needed to consider the Ghost Contract that the Human Skin Paper had reminded him of.
But just after breakfast the next day, an uninvited guest arrived at the door. It was a Ghost Tamer named Hou Qingxu, a local of the Capital and Supernatural detective in charge of the Capital's security. He invited He Ming to join him in handling a Supernatural incident.
To be honest, He Ming was very surprised. "Where is the local person in charge? Why are you looking for me?"
Hou Qingxu remained expressionless, yet his tone carried an unsettling arrogance. "This is the capital. Every citizen has an obligation to contribute to public security and stability. Besides, your Insubstantiality is exceptional. With your help, we can reduce risks and minimize unnecessary losses."
If Hu Jiu had heard these words, he would have immediately pinned this huge accusation on Hou Qingxu, making him experience the feeling of swallowing a bitter pill.
He Ming was just a high school student with little social experience, and he was easily embarrassed, so he was easily swayed by a few words.
