Finally, I Can Be Free!

[Mirror Ghost Wu Jianyuan, filled with shock and uncertainty, asked, "Why can't I get out? Fear Points +56!"]

[Mirror Ghost Wu Jianyuan grew more terrified. "He trapped me but didn't kill me. Does he want to turn me into a ghost slave? Fear Points +89!"]

["Help me! Is there any ghost who can save me? I don't want to be a ghost slave! Fear Points +..."]

[...]

Lu Siye listened to the system prompts that occasionally sounded in his ear. After confirming that Shi Yimin had returned to his room, he could no longer control the smile on his face. He raised his hand to cover his face and let out a low, sinister chuckle.

The eerie laughter reached the Mirror Ghost's ears, filling his heart with even greater fear and panic.

Lu Siye looked at the Mirror Ghost, who was thrashing about like a headless fly in the mirror, as if it were a precious treasure.

At this moment, Wu Jianyuan was no longer an evil ghost who deserved to die ten thousand times over in Lu Siye's eyes. He was a ghost-shaped oil well, rich in production.

This was precisely why Lu Siye hadn't killed Wu Jianyuan directly before. He had unintentionally discovered an excellent method for extracting Fear Points.

After more than half an hour, the Mirror Ghost gradually calmed down and stopped providing Fear Points to Lu Siye.

Lu Siye frowned. This wouldn't do.

He gripped the hilt of his blade again and injected his Blood Essence through the Blazing Blood Blade into the mirror.

"Ah~"

Mirror Ghost Wu Jianyuan's piercing scream rang out once more. Terrified of death, it began to produce Fear Points again.

And so it went. Whenever Mirror Ghost Wu Jianyuan stopped producing Fear Points, Lu Siye would immediately inject his Blood Essence, feigning an intent to destroy it.

Then, the deathly afraid Wu Jianyuan would start producing Fear Points again.

They went back and forth like this for an entire night. After enduring dozens of cycles of torment, Wu Jianyuan in the mirror collapsed in a corner like a beaten dog.

No matter how Lu Siye injected his Blood Essence, he remained unresponsive.

It was as if his actions were telling Lu Siye: I'm tired! I'm numb! Just end it all already!

Lu Siye looked at the depleted oil well with a hint of disappointment.

"Brother, it's only been a short while, why are you already done? You need to buck up!" Lu Siye patted the mirror, speaking with a tone of disappointment in his protégé.

Wu Jianyuan stiffly raised his head. His numb eyes looked at the devil in human skin outside the mirror.

Still, no Fear Points were generated. He had been tormented to the point of numbness.

After confirming once more that the ghost had no further value, Lu Siye took out his phone. He planned to report this Mirror Ghost to the Town Demon Suppression Division to earn some more points.

Tsk, tsk, tsk! He suddenly felt even more detestable than those wicked capitalists.

As soon as he opened the Town Watch APP, he received a backend message. The points for the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost he had dealt with previously, along with two Bound Spirits, had been credited. Additionally, the reward money of over twenty thousand yuan had been deposited into his account at the beginning of the day.

To ensure the safety of its members during missions, the Town Demon Suppression Division did not display these notifications until the user opened the Town Watch APP.

After reading the message, Lu Siye tapped on his personal information.

Name: Lu Siye

Identity: Ordinary Member of Tianhai City's Town Demon Suppression Division

Strength: Night Patrol Envoy, Third Realm

Record: Killed Evil Ghosts 4 times

Points: 240

The Town Demon Suppression Division divides each cultivation realm into three stages: early, middle, and late.

Because Lu Siye had killed a Bound Spirit, which was classified as a top-tier evil ghost by the Town Demon Suppression Division, his strength had rightfully been updated to the Third Realm of a Night Patrol Envoy.

After a quick glance at his personal information, Lu Siye clicked on the mission submission interface.

The mission submission interface not only allowed him to submit completed missions but also to report ghost entities that had not yet been discovered by the Town Demon Suppression Division.

Points could be earned for either killing them or reporting their whereabouts. This was a feature specifically designed by the Town Demon Suppression Division to incentivize its members to hunt ghost entities.

Raising his phone, Lu Siye found a good angle to take a picture.

Then, for the... he didn't know how many times, he gripped the hilt of his blade and poured his blazing Blood Essence into the mirror.

The fierce flames of Blood Essence surged within the mirror, instantly transforming into a sea of fire that enveloped Mirror Ghost Wu Jianyuan.

Lu Siye watched as Wu Jianyuan, engulfed in flames, slowly closed his eyes. A faint smile spread across his lips.

Finally, release.

His body then turned to ash, inch by inch, in the sea of fire.

[Ding~ Mirror Ghost Wu Jianyuan (Evil Ghost) has died. Fear Points +100!]

Upon hearing the notification, Lu Siye eagerly opened the system panel.

Host: Lu Siye

Fear Points: 2361

Cultivation Power: 155 years

Martial Arts Techniques: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill Level 3; Body Tempering Art; Five Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique Mastered

Special Items: Evil-Exorcising Fruit Knife; Blazing Blood Blade +1; Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill; Five Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique

This Mirror Ghost was truly a good oil well, directly contributing over two thousand Fear Points to him.

It was almost as much as his previous haul from painstakingly killing three Evil Ghosts.

After the Mirror Ghost died, Lu Siye retracted all his Blood Essence.

Once the sea of fire extinguished, Lu Siye was surprised to find that the cursed skeleton within the mirror had not turned to ash.

The cracks from being burned were slowly repairing themselves under the influence of Yin energy.

"What's going on?" Lu Siye was a bit bewildered.

He didn't rashly pull out the Blazing Blood Blade. Instead, he searched the Town Watch APP for similar situations.

After searching for over ten minutes, he finally found an answer.

This situation typically only occurred when a ghost had killed one of its own kind.

Furthermore, the ghost killed by that ghost must have possessed special abilities and been a special type of ghost.

This way, after being killed by its own kind, its special abilities would be preserved in various forms such as masks, bracelets, skulls, or skeletons.

The Town Demon Suppression Division referred to these as Ghost Relics!

Once preserved, Ghost Relics would become exclusive to the ghost that killed them, and other ghosts could not use them.

Ghost Relics lacked sentience. After the ghost controlling them died, the Ghost Relics would automatically absorb surrounding Yin energy.

Once the Yin energy exceeded their capacity, they would begin to erupt, affecting all living beings in the vicinity indiscriminately.

He realized that dealing with this situation wasn't difficult. It only required exhausting the Yin energy contained within the Ghost Relic in one go, and it would naturally dissipate.

Understanding that the Ghost Relic in the mirror posed no immediate threat, Lu Siye confidently pulled out the Blazing Blood Blade.

He then took another photo of the mirror after the Mirror Ghost's death, roughly described the ghost's strength and type, and uploaded it.

After the data was uploaded, the Town Demon Suppression Division would have customer service personnel working in three shifts to review it immediately.

Following the review, the Town Demon Suppression Division would dispatch the nearest auxiliary personnel to confirm the accuracy of the situation.

While waiting for the professionals to arrive, Lu Siye opened the news channel for Tianhai City to see if there were any strange incidents happening recently.

{Shocking! Tianhai City's Seventh Suicide Jump, all victims landed on their feet first.}

Clicking on it, Lu Siye saw several blurred crime scene photos.

He then read the news content and the comments below. Most of them were speculations about the deceased, with no useful information.

After exiting, Lu Siye saw another news report.

{Heartless! A family of three found dead in their home in Tianhai City, suspected revenge killing!}

Just as Lu Siye was about to click on it, he heard several steady footsteps approaching the door.

Lu Siye went to the door and opened it before anyone could knock.

"Huh! Officer Zheng, it's you!" Lu Siye exclaimed in surprise, looking at the person at the door.

The person outside was Zheng Hai, the criminal security officer who had previously handcuffed Lu Siye after receiving the alarm call.

Zheng Hai outside was also taken aback.

When he arrived at Tongjiang Residential Complex, he had wondered if it might be that young man from before.

He hadn't expected it to be him!
