Wu Yan felt a lot of pressure...
All along the way, whether they were originally playing soccer, chatting, flirting, or picking up girls, the moment they saw Wu Yan, they all turned their gazes upon him, their eyes burning with flames, their mouths chomping loudly, as if they were ready to transform into vicious dogs and bite Wu Yan at any moment.
Feeling the gazes upon him, enough to pierce him through a thousand times, Wu Yan admitted that as a Level 28 little superman, he was afraid...
Hinagiku stretched languidly, a look of contentment on her face, and stylishly flipped her pink hair. The charm she exuded in that instant made Wu Yan feel the gazes upon him grow even more scorching.
Painfully slapping his forehead, Wu Yan sighed.
"What's wrong? Sighing like that will turn you into a grumpy old man..." Hinagiku glanced at Wu Yan beside her and said with a smile.
"Sigh..." Wu Yan sighed again, his eyes half-closed, looking listless. He lamented, "Although I knew you were popular, I didn't expect that actually witnessing it would make me so embarrassed."
Hinagiku looked at Wu Yan in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about. Wu Yan glanced sideways, signaling Hinagiku to look over. Only then did Hinagiku understand what Wu Yan meant.
A little embarrassed, Hinagiku scratched her face and quickly changed the subject. "Well, let's go home quickly. I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight."
As she spoke, Hinagiku's eyes grew brighter and brighter, indicating that although she was changing the subject, she was genuinely looking forward to it...
Speechlessly shaking his head, Wu Yan said to Hinagiku, "Well... you go back first, I'll go back later."
Hinagiku paused in her steps and turned to look at Wu Yan, saying, "What's wrong? Did you forget something in the classroom? I'll wait for you."
"No, I have something I want to do, so I plan to go back later." Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't use this time to flirt with the Student Council President, Wu Yan had no choice. He still had to do the mission.
"Something to do?" Her gaze fixed on Wu Yan's face, as if trying to see something in it. Only when Wu Yan's expression became a little unnatural did Hinagiku speak, "I remember, someone seemed to have said that he had nowhere to go, so he became a butler, right? So, where can you go now?"
Looking at the Student Council President's delicate face, Wu Yan took two steps back and smiled awkwardly. "Well, it's... it's just a small matter, it'll be over in a moment anyway, so you should go back first."
Slightly puffing up her cheeks, her yellowish-green eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, Hinagiku coldly snorted and turned her head away, saying, "If you don't want to say, then forget it. Remember, if you need any help, tell me. Although I don't know if I can be of any use, at least with more people, things will be easier."
"I know, I know. If I need Miss's help with anything, I will definitely tell you!" Wu Yan looked at Hinagiku with amusement.
"Then I'll go first, remember to come back early!"
Wu Yan immediately gave Hinagiku a strange look, causing Hinagiku to suddenly realize that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have. That sentence sounded like what a wife would say to her husband...
Her face flushed red. Seeing that Wu Yan still had a strange expression, Hinagiku said angrily, "Hurry up and do your thing!"
"Then I'm leaving, bye-bye!" Feeling that he would definitely get hurt if he continued to stay here, Wu Yan decisively turned around and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Only after Wu Yan's figure disappeared did Hinagiku retract her gaze and mutter to herself, "I'll expose all your secrets sooner or later!"
At this time, Wu Yan had already arrived at the Old School Building. A flash of cold light passed by in his hand, and the Kusanagi Sword appeared in his hand, tied to his lower back.
Unlike his casual days before, now that he was studying at Hakuhou Academy, it would be too conspicuous for a student to carry a sword with him. Although there were many strange people in this academy, not to mention carrying swords, some might even carry guns, Wu Yan had no interest in becoming one of these strange people.
Therefore, Wu Yan spent 10,000 Item Points to exchange for a legendary artifact that was essential in various novels—a space ring!
At first, he thought that space rings, which were commonly seen in those novels, shouldn't be too expensive, but Wu Yan was wrong, and he was very wrong!
Putting aside everything else, the space ring that Wu Yan exchanged cost him a full 10,000 points, and compared to those space rings that were so big they were boundless, Wu Yan's space ring was only about a hundred cubic meters.
What could Wu Yan do? He could only buy it. If he didn't buy it now, he would have to buy it sooner or later. After all, he had no home and nowhere to hide anything. Buying a storage item was absolutely necessary.
Pushing open the door of the Old School Building, Wu Yan walked in. Looking at all the dilapidated things around him, Wu Yan moved his mind and activated the system's detection function.
As long as it was within his line of sight, nothing could escape the system's detection function. For a monster with the word 'ghost' in its name, Wu Yan felt that it was better to be careful, to avoid the other party really being able to become invisible.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and Wu Yan had almost walked through the entire Old School Building, but he hadn't even seen a ghost. This made him feel puzzled. This was impossible. Since it was the address that the system said, then there was definitely no mistake. That so-called ghost leader must be here, so why hadn't he seen it?
Did he have to wait until night for that dead ghost to come out?
Scratching his hair, Wu Yan looked at the sky and decisively gave up the idea of waiting until dark.
The Student Council President had said that she was looking forward to dinner tonight. Wu Yan didn't know if his favorability would decrease if he didn't go back to cook for her before dinner, but he was sure that he would get cold looks for a day or two. He would never sacrifice the Student Council President's favorability for a dead ghost!
If only he had raised the Student Council President halfway, why did he raise her so comprehensively? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
While regretting in his heart, Wu Yan pondered, then opened the system list and began to look for a suitable method.
At a certain moment, Wu Yan's lips curled up, and with a flip of his hand, a small light ball flashing with dim light appeared in his hand.
Fluorescent Orb: Has the function of seeking mysterious power. As long as there is power that does not belong to normal power within a certain range, such as curses, death energy, ghost energy, etc., the Fluorescent Orb can seek its aura and find the source of the power; Item Points: 1000 points.
Although the name and such were a bit lacking in integrity, the effect was still good, at least on the surface...
Pinching the Fluorescent Orb in his hand, it felt soft, just like a girl's breast. Wu Yan, who had never pinched a girl's breast, thought in his heart, and then threw the Fluorescent Orb in his hand out.
The Fluorescent Orb paused in the air, and then, while flashing a light even dimmer than a light bulb, it floated up and down in the air, just like a fishing float.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Yan saw the Fluorescent Orb, which had been rising and falling, suddenly stop at a certain moment, and then float to one side.
Fortunately... it's effective...
Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly chased after it.
The Fluorescent Orb's floating speed became slower and slower. Gradually, Wu Yan's walking speed, which had been following the Fluorescent Orb, changed from running to walking, and the Fluorescent Orb continued to float towards the inside of the Old School Building... floating...
Until it reached the innermost part of the Old School Building, the Fluorescent Orb suddenly changed its trend, suddenly turned downwards, and merged into the ground.
Wu Yan looked at the floor with a stunned expression.
What does this mean? Did it go to hell? No way, I asked you to find ghost energy, not to go to the underworld, come back to me quickly!...
While complaining in his heart, Wu Yan's face was full of helplessness. What could he do? He might as well dig and see.
Wu Yan drew the Kusanagi Sword from his waist and tapped it against the ground, only to hear a hollow echo. He was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a delighted smile.
This was clearly another world entirely!
He took a deep breath and, facing the ground, brought the Kusanagi Sword down with a mighty strike...
"Crack!"
The floor shattered, sending dust flying everywhere. Wu Yan covered his nose and mouth, took a step back, and waved his sword to disperse the dust cloud.
As the dust settled, a hole large enough for one person to pass through appeared before Wu Yan.
Below, he could vaguely see the faint glow emitted by the Fluorescent Orb, proving that it had stopped after entering the underground space.
This meant that inside the hole was the source of the abnormal power the Fluorescent Orb was seeking!
Wu Yan craned his neck to peer into the hole, but he couldn't see anything besides the Fluorescent Orb. Helpless, he steeled his courage and jumped down.
He landed, looked up, and his heart skipped a beat.
Before him was a vast hall, which Wu Yan estimated to be about the size of the entire Old School Building. It was filled with nothing but dirt, dust, and a few little darlings...
A giant crow flying in the sky, a large snake-like gas drifting in mid-air, and a skeleton standing there, facing Wu Yan.
The sudden sight of such a scene startled even Wu Yan. After all, just three months ago, he was just an ordinary person, and it's normal for people to be afraid of ghosts...
He patted his chest, tightened his grip on the Kusanagi Sword, and looked at the giant crow in the sky, which was about half his height.
Corpse-Eating Crow: Level 10?
So, this crow is just a small fry. That ghostly leader shouldn't be only Level 10, right?
He curled his lip and turned his gaze to the gaseous snake floating in the middle.
Wandering Corpse Soul:
A soul? Not a snake? But that's true, snakes don't float, and they're not made of gas. From this perspective, it does seem more like a soul or something. But it's not the ghost leader either. Could it be that Saginomiya Izumi came to deal with these things in the original story? Is there even a dead ghost here!
He sighed and looked at the skeleton, immediately feeling awkward.
Rosy Skeleton:
You're a skeleton, why are you trying to be a cute girl? What's rosy? What's tender?
Wu Yan's face was a picture of awkwardness, and he almost dropped the Kusanagi Sword. He really wanted to ask where that name came from. Was it the ghost leader? Ghosts must have different tastes than humans. Maybe to them, that hard bone really is rosy and tender.
Should he ask them where the ghost leader is?
Wu Yan hesitated.
But even if Wu Yan wanted to leave, they wouldn't let him. The Corpse-Eating Crow in the sky suddenly let out a shrill cry, and Wu Yan saw the Wandering Corpse Soul and the skeleton shudder at the same time and pounce towards him.
Fine, even if you want to eat people, at least consider your weight. You're only Level 10, it's not like ghosts are guaranteed to eat people.
As the Wandering Corpse Soul rushed in front of him, Wu Yan spun the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, gripped it in a reverse grip, and slashed its head off diagonally. Then, he grabbed the skeleton's head, pulled, and chopped, sending it eloping with the Wandering Corpse Soul.
He looked up at the Corpse-Eating Crow and joked with a smile, "What? You're good at screaming? Why don't you call some more over..." But Wu Yan's smile quickly faded.
A large group of skeletons continuously crawled out of the ground, then stood up, swaying, forming neat rows, facing Wu Yan. At the same time, a large number of Wandering Corpse Souls emerged from the walls on both sides, mouths wide open, silently roaring at Wu Yan.
This... it really called them out
