There had originally been no ghosts on Blue Star.

Once, a pilot dropped a "Little Boy" on Neon Country. That pilot lived to the age of ninety-two and died of natural causes. That was proof that Blue Star had no ghosts.

But now that Psionic Revival had begun, some unpleasant things had resurfaced.

Moreover, the Skrull had used the "Psionic Spring" to create quite a few monsters. Creatures like the monsters from Ultraman and the terrifying deep-sea creatures from Pacific Rim had begun appearing on Blue Star.

Of course, those large creatures would only start appearing one after another a few months later.

At the current stage, the Skrull could only create batches of ghosts to run rampant throughout the world of Blue Star Human.

The native ghosts and the foreign... no, extraterrestrial ghosts colluded with one another, gradually becoming the greatest threat to Blue Star Human during the first three months.

What Su Yu had to do now was find and eliminate as many ghosts as possible.

This was not only for humanity, but also for himself. After eliminating these ghosts, he could gain some additional benefits as well.

After searching diligently for more than an hour, a piece of news finally caught Su Yu's attention.

"East Sea University Is Forming a Volunteer Teaching Team for Hope Primary School"

June 2nd, 8:00 a.m.

Su Yu drove to the entrance of a supermarket near East Sea University.

He had come specifically because of that news report about "volunteer teaching in the countryside."

He remembered that in his previous life, East Sea University had organized this volunteer teaching event. Yet in the end, more than thirty university students sent to teach in the countryside, along with hundreds of teachers and students at Hope Primary School, all died under inexplicable circumstances!

The incident caused an enormous uproar. The government dispatched a large number of police officers to investigate, but they found nothing. They could not even determine the cause of death.

It was not until three months after the incident that the truth finally came to light.

The expert team concluded that a ghost had been causing trouble, and the person possessed by the ghost was the female teacher leading the group—Fang Min.

East Sea University was Su Yu's alma mater, so this incident had left a particularly deep impression on him.

He had come this time to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

Entering the supermarket, Su Yu stopped in front of a shelf in the toy section.

The shelf sold toys such as Ultraman masks, Ultraman figures, and Ultraman transformation devices.

When he saw the Ultraman masks, Su Yu had an idea.

He reached out, pretending to pick up a mask.

But his hand did not touch the mask. Instead, he lightly pressed against the wall.

A massive current surged from his palm into the wall, flowing toward the surveillance camera above.

Crack!

The camera was hit by the powerful current and immediately short-circuited.

Su Yu's expression did not change.

Unhurriedly, he took down an Ultraman mask, tucked it into his clothes, and strode toward the supermarket exit.

As he left the supermarket, he made sure to destroy every surveillance camera inside, preventing anyone with ulterior motives from tracing his movements.

Once outside on the street.

Since he did not know where the street cameras were located, Su Yu cast Invisibility and quickly moved forward while invisible.

He made his way into the school.

Along the way, he used Blink in conjunction with Invisibility to evade surveillance cameras, and used lightning magic to destroy any cameras he could not avoid. He was remarkably professional.

This professionalism had been honed through his repeated infiltrations of Skrull Base. Using it to infiltrate a school was nothing more than a trivial matter.

He continued advancing in stealth.

After checking the teachers' duty roster in the office building, Su Yu went to Classroom 301 in the third teaching building and found the teacher leading the group mentioned in the news—Fang Min.

Fang Min was a young female teacher who looked to be twenty-eight or twenty-nine. Dressed in white, she was standing at the podium teaching her students.

Su Yu stood outside the classroom door.

Though he was several meters away, he could already smell the strong stench of a ghost.

"Mm, it's her! No mistake!"

Su Yu put on the Ultraman mask and kicked forward. The classroom door burst open with a bang.

Teacher Fang Min was immediately startled.

She had been teaching her students when a young man suddenly kicked open the door and barged in.

And when she saw the mask on the young man's head, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Teacher Fang Min took two steps back and shouted, "Student, what are you trying to do?!"

Su Yu did not answer.

He strode forward. Before the female teacher could react, he viciously slapped her across the face, channeling lightning magic into her head through the slap to drive out the ghost.

Teacher Fang Min took the slap squarely, but at the same time, an icy wind swept through the classroom!

Whoosh—whoosh—

A black, shapeless thing sprang from the female teacher's head and flew rapidly out the window.

Soul Eater Ghost Lv9

It was actually a level-nine ghost?!

Fortunately, although this ghost was higher level than Su Yu, it was still a Tier 0 ghost and did not pose much of a threat to him.

Su Yu pretended to feel around beneath the podium, materializing the Staff of the Village Chief in his left hand. Then, with a flash, he followed the Soul Eater Ghost out the window.

"Lok Tar'Ogar! Take a strike from Old Sun's staff!"

In midair, Su Yu activated the Lightning Arrow spell attached to the Staff of the Village Chief and struck the Soul Eater Ghost with it.

Crackle—crackle—

A large amount of black mist billowed from the Soul Eater Ghost's body.

It struggled, its body trembling continuously as though begging Su Yu for mercy.

Su Yu ignored it. As soon as the first Lightning Arrow ended, a second Lightning Arrow followed close behind.

Under the impact of two consecutive Lightning Arrows, the Soul Eater Ghost's true body completely shattered, turning into dense black mist.

Su Yu had jumped down from the third floor. Just as he was about to hit the ground, he seized the moment and cast Blink.

Whoosh!

Su Yu landed steadily on the ground.

At this moment, the students below the podium had completely frozen in shock.

What had just happened?

First, a man wearing an Ultraman mask had burst in and given their teacher a huge slap.

Then, the man had pulled a branch from beneath the podium, rushed to the window, and jumped straight out?

Had the world bugged out, or was there something wrong with them?

After a brief silence, the students swarmed toward the window.

Quite a few of them began calling "110" and "120."

But when they gathered at the window and looked outside, they found foul-smelling black mist drifting beyond it.

As for the masked weirdo, he did not seem to have been injured by the fall. Instead, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking as if he was... cultivating?

The students were about to lose their minds.

Something must have gone wrong with this world! It had to be!

Yet among those students, one beautiful girl stood there somewhat dazed.

Because the figure of that young man seemed a little familiar.
