Town Demon Suppression Division

Confess and be lenient, resist and be severe.

In the bright and simple interrogation room, Lu Siye boredly shifted his gaze away from the eight large characters on the wall behind him.

It had been over ten minutes since he was brought to the interrogation room. During this time, apart from the initial two security guards who came in to ask for some basic personal information, no one else had entered.

Lu Siye leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed straight ahead, appearing to be in a daze.

Actually, Lu Siye wasn't dazed; he was looking at the system panel that only he could see.

Host: Lu Siye

Fear Points: 937

Cultivation Power: None (a weakling)

Martial Arts Techniques: None

Special Items: Evil-Exorcising Fruit Knife

His Fear Points were now 937. Subtracting the remaining 90 points from before, this meant that one Takeout Ghost had provided him with a total of 847 Fear Points.

It was a massive haul.

However, what exactly were Cultivation Power and Martial Arts Techniques? Could it be that he could actually practice the martial arts manuals from wuxia novels?

Thinking of this, Lu Siye felt a surge of excitement. Every man, as a child, had a wuxia dream of becoming a great hero.

Even though he had grown up now, his dream remained unchanged.

In the monitoring room, a man built like a tower and a woman wearing an exquisite qipao that showcased her proud figure stood before the monitor.

The content on the monitor was Lu Siye, who was currently dazing in the interrogation room.

"This little brother has a good mindset. It's his first time encountering a ghost, and not only did he manage to counter-kill it, but he's also acting so calmly," the woman said slowly, her alluring voice carrying a hint of seductiveness.

"I'm more curious how an ordinary person like him could fight an Evil Ghost with just a magical artifact," the man said in a deep, resonant voice.

"Why don't we just ask him!" The woman extended her slender fingers and slid them down the man's sturdy arm.

"Shangguan Qingxue, I'm warning you, stop touching me all the time. I only like women who are stronger than me."

The man reached out, grabbed the woman's fair wrist, gently shook it off, and walked out of the monitoring room without looking back.

"Meng Jianmin, you..." Shangguan Qingxue stomped her foot in anger and quickly followed him.

Bang!

The sound of the interrogation room door opening drew Lu Siye's attention.

After so long, someone was finally coming to see him.

He looked towards the door and saw a man, at least 190 cm tall and built like a tower, walking in sideways.

Behind him followed a tall woman in a qipao, exuding a captivating charm with every movement.

The woman moved past the man to the table, extended her slender fingers to pull out a chair, and sat down gracefully.

Then, she leaned forward, displaying her beautiful and moving curves, and placed her two heavy peaks on the table.

A faint scent of perfume wafted towards him. Lu Siye instinctively looked over, and the moment he saw those two peaks, a flash of imperceptible golden light flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Holy crap~ they're so big~

Lu Siye almost got mesmerized, but out of politeness, he stared for a moment before looking away.

A hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in Shangguan Qingxue's eyes. How could an ordinary person like him be unaffected by her charm?

She turned her head to look at Meng Jianmin and nodded slightly.

Meng Jianmin understood. He walked in front of Lu Siye, looked down at him, and said in a deep voice, "Look up. Look at me."

Lu Siye subconsciously looked up at the man. The moment their eyes met.

Lu Siye saw a fierce tiger, opening its bloody maw before his eyes, as if it would pounce and devour him alive in the next moment.

His pupils contracted sharply. At that moment, Lu Siye forgot he was in the interrogation room, forgot that there were two people with mysterious identities in front of him. All he saw was this magnificent, striped tiger.

Lu Siye's heart began to pound rapidly, his blood pressure rose, and adrenaline surged. His body, sensing mortal danger, reacted instinctively with the most primal survival response.

He suppressed his instinct to bolt and threw a punch straight at the tiger's eyes.

His only thought was that even if he was going to die, he wanted to make the other party feel some pain.

But to his surprise, his fist passed through like a phantom, hitting nothing.

The tiger in front of him quickly dissipated, and everything around him returned to the original interrogation room.

"Not bad! Your spiritual soul's strength is excellent, and your courage is commendable," Shangguan Qingxue said, her tone revealing a hint of praise.

She sat up straight, her demeanor instantly shifting from alluringly charming to dignified and elegant, exuding an air of approachability.

"What is this?" Lu Siye looked around in confusion. He was still in the interrogation room, so the magnificent striped tiger from before was just an illusion?

His tensed muscles immediately relaxed. Lu Siye leaned back in his chair, exhausted. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"I believe you've also realized that the takeout delivery person you killed earlier wasn't actually human, but a ghost."

Meng Jianmin took out a fruit knife from behind and placed it on the table. It was the Evil-Exorcising Fruit Knife.

He pulled over a chair and sat down. His weight, exceeding that of an average person, caused the chair beneath him to emit a grating creak.

One couldn't help but wonder if the chair would fall apart the very next second.

"Are you two from the relevant authorities?" Lu Siye asked tentatively.

"The relevant authorities?" Shangguan Qingxue chuckled. "If you mean the relevant authorities as you understand them, then yes, we are!"

"Right, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Meng Jianmin, Captain of the Metal Unit of the Tianhai City Town Demon Suppression Division, and this is Shangguan Qingxue, Captain of the Water Unit!" Meng Jianmin said, straightening his posture.

"Does your Town Demon Suppression Division divide its units based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?" Lu Siye asked curiously.

"That's right!" Meng Jianmin nodded.

"You don't need to worry. The Town Demon Suppression Division deals with incidents of ghosts causing trouble. Killing ghosts is not illegal. You just need to tell us exactly what happened tonight," Shangguan Qingxue said, looking at Lu Siye with a sweet smile.

Her stunning beauty, combined with her gentle tone, made one feel an involuntary urge to confess everything.

Lu Siye raised his hand and patted his cheeks, dispelling the urge to spill everything from his mind.

He concealed the fact that he had a system, modified some details, and polished the narrative before recounting his encounter that night.

He claimed the fruit knife he bought at the supermarket for over twenty yuan was something he was tricked into buying for thousands of yuan on Antique Street.

He also changed the part where he single-handedly overpowered the Takeout Ghost into a life-or-death struggle with the ghost, where he barely managed to win.

After listening to Lu Siye's account, Meng Jianmin stroked his chin and said, "There was too much luck involved; it can't serve as a reference for other members."

Shangguan Qingxue, standing beside him, also nodded in agreement with Meng Jianmin's assessment.

"By the way, what exactly are ghosts?" Lu Siye asked with genuine curiosity.

In his previous life, he had never encountered ghosts, and having grown up under the red flag, he didn't quite believe in their existence. Therefore, he hadn't bothered to learn much about them.

"Ghosts! Explaining them would take too long. To put it simply, humans have three souls and seven spirits, while ghosts only have one soul and seven spirits. After death, before their three souls dissipate, there's a chance they can become ghosts," Meng Jianmin explained, tapping the table.

"However, because a ghost's soul is incomplete, it cannot control its own emotions. Gradually, it becomes controlled by one or more extreme emotions, thus transforming into various kinds of ghosts."

"So that's how it is!" Lu Siye nodded.

No wonder that Takeout Ghost had emotions like fear; it turned out the seven spirits, representing the seven emotions, were still present.
