Weird Orange Cat, Top-Tier Scumbag!

Back at school, it wasn't too late. The imposing G-Wagon immediately drew a lot of attention.

"Who is that? So cool!"

"A G-Wagon, my dream car!"

Many students drove to school, but luxury cars like the G-Wagon were rarely seen. Pedestrians on the roadside couldn't help but discuss it.

Driving to the parking lot near the dormitory, Lin Chen locked his car and was about to leave when a black shadow suddenly darted out in front of him.

"This guy again!"

Seeing the orange cat dart away, Lin Chen's face darkened. It had startled him last night, and now it was trying to scare him again?

"I have to teach you a lesson!"

Lin Chen tapped his foot and chased after the orange cat. He soon spotted it in the woods, but before Lin Chen could get close, the cat quickly headed deeper into the forest.

"If I let you run today, my name is written backward!"

Seeing the orange cat escape him time and time again, Lin Chen was getting angry. Even cultivators at the third or fourth tier couldn't escape him, so how could an orange cat?

He unleashed his full power and chased after the orange cat at full speed. However, the cat always maintained a certain distance from Lin Chen, making it impossible for him to catch up.

"Something's not right!"

Lin Chen's expression turned serious. Animals were fast, but only for short bursts. It was impossible for the orange cat to maintain such speed over such a long distance.

Moreover, Lin Chen was no ordinary person. His current speed far surpassed that of a normal human, yet the orange cat was still faster than him. This was clearly abnormal.

"A strange beast?"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. He hadn't forgotten that the reason he awakened the System was the appearance of the time rift, and even other creatures had mutated.

However, according to Xu Fei, all the mutated creatures at Qingzhou University had been eliminated. But after seeing the orange cat, Lin Chen had some doubts. Perhaps there were still some that had slipped through the net!

"Little Orange, you walked right into my trap. Don't blame me!"

At this moment, the orange cat was like Lin Chen's source of strength, so he immediately sped up.

He chased it to the end of the woods but lost the orange cat's tracks and had to search around.

"Little Orange, come out. Brother has brought you something delicious." Lin Chen whispered as he carefully scanned his surroundings, trying to find the orange cat's hiding place.

After searching for a while, he found no clues. Just as Lin Chen was about to give up, a cat's meow suddenly came from not far away. Lin Chen moved instantly to the source of the sound, but still, there was no sign of the orange cat.

"This is..."

Suddenly, Lin Chen's expression changed. He looked ahead and saw a sewer outlet, blocked by an iron net, appearing in his sight. It was about as tall as a person.

He didn't suspect that the orange cat had run into the sewer, but rather, he sensed a familiar aura from within the sewer. "Ghostly energy!"

"How can there be ghostly energy here?" Lin Chen's expression turned serious. The presence of ghostly energy meant that there was likely a ghost inside, as ghostly energy could not exist independently.

Snap~

Lin Chen applied force and directly broke the heavy lock, then walked in.

A pungent smell assaulted his senses. Lin Chen quickly covered his nose and mouth, turned on his phone's flashlight, and headed deeper into the sewer. After a moment, he arrived at a wide, stinking pool of water.

Around the pool were several pipes of similar size, clearly a place where the sewer water converged and diverged. The source of the ghostly energy was the pool in front of him.

"Holy crap... they're not going to make me go down there, are they!"

Lin Chen's face was grim. This was clearly where all the school's sewage converged, and it was unfathomably deep. If he went down there, he'd probably need three to five days to wash clean.

Going down was out of the question. Not a chance in hell!

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen directly activated his Vitality True Flame. In an instant, the terrifying Vitality True Flame surged towards the pool. Since he couldn't go down, he'd force the thing inside out!

Fortunately, the Vitality True Flame wasn't pure flame, otherwise, such an attack would have surely caused an explosion.

As the Vitality True Flame fell, the Ghost Qi was instantly cleared. A mournful scream came from the bottom of the pool, and then, a figure rushed out.

Huh?

Lin Chen was stunned as he looked at the ghostly apparition emerging from the pool. It had delicate features and gave off a girl-next-door vibe.

Most importantly, he had a vague feeling that he had seen the ghostly apparition's appearance somewhere before.

"Tang Jiajia!"

Lin Chen exclaimed, finally remembering where he had seen her.

It was from a missing person poster back in his third year. Tang Jiajia, a classmate, had gone missing, and the school and class had put up posters, but unfortunately, they never found her. He never expected her to have died here.

"Tang Jiajia?" the specter questioned, its face then contorting. Its ghostly aura erupted, and it moved, charging directly at Lin Chen.

Facing the charging specter, Lin Chen met it with a punch, but he didn't intend to kill it.

After all, she was a classmate in life. She seemed unaware of her situation in death, and her body had been soaking in the sewer. If possible, he wanted to ask her about her disappearance and return her remains to her parents.

He vividly remembered the scene of Tang Jiajia's parents coming to the school to look for their daughter. The two poor old people still didn't know that Tang Jiajia was dead.

Tang Jiajia was stopped by Lin Chen. Just as Lin Chen was about to question her, a powerful force struck his abdomen, repelling him.

"This is..."

Seeing a child emerge from Tang Jiajia's abdomen, Lin Chen's face showed disbelief. Tang Jiajia was pregnant when she died?

I didn't hear that Tang Jiajia had a boyfriend back then, and being pregnant isn't a big deal, it's not worth dying for!

"What a hassle!"

Lin Chen didn't expect this situation. Fortunately, the ghost wasn't very strong, and he wasn't injured. The Blood Qi True Flame surged in his hands and fell upon Tang Jiajia.

"Ah~"

Tang Jiajia immediately screamed, and the little ghost in her belly also let out cries. Seeing that most of the ghostly energy on Tang Jiajia had dissipated, Lin Chen quickly withdrew the Blood Qi True Flame.

"Tang Jiajia, wake up already!" Lin Chen roared.

Following Lin Chen's roar, Tang Jiajia, whose eyes were previously glazed over, finally regained a sliver of clarity.

"Zheng Peng, I'm going to kill you!" Killing intent surged from Tang Jiajia.

Lin Chen looked at Tang Jiajia and said calmly, "Zheng Peng, your boyfriend?"

"That's right, that scumbag. I was blind back then to have agreed to his pursuit," Tang Jiajia said with regret.

Lin Chen looked at Tang Jiajia and shook his head slightly, "Even if he deceived you, you shouldn't have tried to kill yourself. I saw your parents' despair when they couldn't find you."

"I didn't kill myself. Zheng Peng killed me. He not only killed me but also killed our child, and then imprisoned me here, refining me into this state!" Tang Jiajia roared with grief and anger.

What?

Hearing Tang Jiajia's words, Lin Chen was completely stunned. Killing his girlfriend and their child, and then refining her into a ghost, what kind of operation is that?
