A ghost afraid of cockroaches?

After thinking for a while, Lu Siye ultimately chose to redeem seven Blood Replenishment Pills to test their effects.

Putting down his phone, Lu Siye looked towards the bedroom, his brow furrowed.

"Is it that patient?"

Ever since entering from the balcony, Lu Siye had sensed a ghost in his bedroom. However, its Yin energy wasn't very strong, so its power should be low.

He had originally planned to pretend he hadn't discovered it and use cultivation to lure it out, given his own weakened state.

He hadn't expected that after so long, the ghost in his bedroom hadn't even changed its position.

However, after recovering two-thirds of his strength, Lu Siye was confident he could easily handle the entity, so there was no need to play any more games.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Lu Siye glanced up at the lightbulb, which had been turned on at some point, then cast a glance at the wardrobe before walking in as if unaware.

Just as Lu Siye was about to walk over, he noticed a new piece of paper on his desk.

Coming to the desk, Lu Siye picked up the note. It contained a message written in fairly neat handwriting.

'Someone wants to harm you, call the police quickly, find the Town Demon Suppression Division for help!'

Who wrote this? Could it be the ghost in the wardrobe?

Lu Siye subtly glanced at the wardrobe with his peripheral vision. He detected faint Yin energy on the note.

Suddenly, a cockroach, appearing from nowhere, flew towards Lu Siye's face.

Instinctively, he swatted at it with the back of his hand, only retracting his strength after realizing what he was doing.

He didn't want to get sticky white fluids all over his hands by smashing the cockroach.

The cockroach, perhaps never expecting to be slapped by a human, flew towards the wardrobe like a kite with a broken string.

After hitting the ground, the cockroach bounced and, by sheer chance, fell through the gap in the wardrobe door.

"Holy crap, my ward..." Lu Siye reacted instantly, but before he could finish his shout, a louder commotion erupted from the wardrobe.

"Ah!!!"

A piercing scream exploded from the wardrobe. A pale-faced female ghost, wearing a t-shirt with a Pikachu design on the front and jeans, screamed and rushed out.

She jumped onto Lu Siye's bed and, like she was doing laser dance, frantically shook her pants as if a bomb were hidden inside.

[Cowardly Fang Lanyue's soul flies to the nine heavens, Fear Points +99!] [Cowardly Fang Lanyue's soul flies to the nine heavens, Fear Points +99!] [Cowardly Fang Lanyue's soul flies to the nine heavens, Fear Points +99!] [...]

Listening to the notification sounds ringing in his ears, Lu Siye couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What the heck?

Cowardly?

Do ghosts even get scared?

Lu Siye looked at the female ghost dancing on his bed. The deep fear on her face didn't seem fake, and he felt like his worldview was about to be shattered.

After about ten seconds of dancing, a frozen cockroach flew out of the ghost's pant leg and landed on the floor with a splat.

"Waaah~ That scared me to death!" Seeing the cockroach fly out, the female ghost sat down on the bed with a plop, unable to hold back her tears.

[Cowardly Fang Lanyue is filled with lingering fear, Fear Points +88!]

Lu Siye channeled Yang energy into his eyes and looked. The female ghost only had greyish-white Yin energy on her, no dark resentment.

There was a common understanding in the Town Demon Suppression Division: a person would, to varying degrees, hold resentment towards the killer before their death.

Since Cowardly Fang Lanyue had no resentment on her, it indicated that she likely hadn't taken any lives.

This put Lu Siye in a difficult position.

She hadn't taken any lives and was possibly the one who wrote the note. Should he kill her or not?

"Hey! This..." Lu Siye felt it was necessary to confirm, so he held up the note and called out to the female ghost.

However, before he could finish, the female ghost seemed to be shocked by electricity. With a yelp, she sprang up from the bed and turned into a gust of wind, re-entering the wardrobe.

[Fang Lanyue is startled, Oh my! I've been discovered, Fear Points +66!]

With a muffled thud, the wardrobe door slammed shut.

[Cowardly Fang Lanyue is scared, it's so dark! Fear Points +76!]

The next moment, the wardrobe door was propped open by a sliver, with a sock stuck in the gap, preventing it from closing.

Lu Siye's mouth twitched. He was now eighty percent sure that this was just a foolish ghost.

He walked towards the wardrobe and raised his hand to knock.

[Help, he's found me! Fear Points +66!]

Lu Siye's forehead was covered in black lines. I'm not stupid, and I'm not blind.

Opening his mouth, Lu Siye suddenly found himself tongue-tied, forgetting what he had intended to say.

He looked down at the slip of paper in his hand and then remembered what he was supposed to say.

"Come out, I saw you a while ago. Did you write the note on the desk outside?" Lu Siye knocked on the door again.

Fang Lanyue, huddled in the closet, covered her ears and buried herself in the pile of clothes.

After waiting for a while, the timid Fang Lanyue did not come out.

Lu Siye sighed helplessly, directly pulled open the closet door, and saw Fang Lanyue inside, eyes tightly shut, ears covered, and curled into a ball.

As if sensing the closet door being opened, Fang Lanyue quietly opened one eye, which met Lu Siye's gaze.

Holy crap! Don't come over here! Fear Points +99!

"Ah!" Fang Lanyue shivered all over, screamed, and curled up even tighter.

Lu Siye couldn't hold back any longer. He reached in and pulled her out from inside, tossing her onto the bed.

Looking at the female ghost on the bed who was trying to burrow into the covers, Lu Siye was amused to the point of anger.

This thing can even turn into a ghost; she probably died of fright after reading horror stories in the middle of the night, right?

Coming to the bed, Lu Siye, as if holding a kitten, pulled Fang Lanyue out of the covers by the scruff of her neck and held the note in front of her eyes.

Don't...

"Open your eyes and look properly. Did you write this?" Lu Siye asked as gently as possible after putting her down.

"Mhm, mhm!" Fang Lanyue opened her eyes slightly, looked, and nodded like a pecking chick.

"Why did you warn me?" Lu Siye pressed.

"Because... because I don't dare to kill anyone!" Fang Lanyue's voice was as faint as a mosquito's.

"Was the Net the one who sent you?"

"What is the Net?" Fang Lanyue asked curiously, her eyes wide.

Lu Siye looked at her curious expression, as if she genuinely didn't know about the Net.

"Did anyone instruct you to come here?" Lu Siye rephrased the question.

"A little brother found me and told me to come here to harm someone. He promised he would protect my safety for the rest of my life afterward," Fang Lanyue said after hesitating for a moment.

If it weren't for the promise of living more safely, she wouldn't have wanted to come!

"The little brother you mentioned, was he less than 1.2 meters tall, with sharp teeth and pitch-black pupils?" Lu Siye thought for a moment and described the appearance of the Twin Ghost Infants.

Fang Lanyue imagined the person Lu Siye described and immediately trembled in fear.

Fear Points +...

"N-no, it wasn't... it was a big-headed doll with a very large head," she said weakly.
