Death Invitation

What does the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts have to do with him, a human?

Thinking this, Jiang Chen was about to crumple the envelope in his hand and throw it away.

But he was stopped by Omniscience.

"You'd best read the signature before you decide!"

Heeding Omniscience's words, Jiang Chen looked at the bottom of the envelope.

His mouth fell open in surprise.

At the bottom of the WeChat message, several crooked characters were written.

Ghost Child...

Seeing these three words, Jiang Chen immediately recalled the eyes of the Ghost Child he encountered in the Demon Forest.

Legend has it that anyone seen by the eyes of a Ghost Child is doomed to die!

Could it be that he was invited to the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts because he saw the Ghost Child's eyes?

With this guess in mind, Jiang Chen was uncertain and asked Omniscience.

"Omniscience, what do you think?"

"The ghosts in the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts are all renowned specters from the Demon Era. If the other party wanted to kill you, your current strength would be no match for them."

"Therefore, I think this Ghost Child must have another purpose. We'll only know the specifics once we participate in the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts."

Participate in the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts.

Jiang Chen subconsciously refused.

If he went, wouldn't he be walking right into their trap?

Could he even survive?

"This isn't a matter of whether you want to or not!"

"History records that those who are invited have their souls marked. On the day of the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, whether they wish to or not, they must participate."

Jiang Chen didn't believe it. He planned to go to the library later if he had time to see if there were any clues.

He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice what Song Yiyi behind him was saying.

After walking for a while, they reached the experimental building. He waved goodbye to Song Yiyi. "I'm heading off. Fatty and Zhang Banxian are waiting for me."

"Okay! That Wednesday next week..."

Song Yiyi had wanted to say that she didn't have class next Wednesday afternoon and asked if she could treat Jiang Chen to a meal.

To thank him for his help.

But Jiang Chen didn't respond. She, unwilling to give up, asked again.

However, Jiang Chen's mind was entirely occupied with the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, and he had no energy to listen to anything else.

Seeing that Jiang Chen wasn't paying attention to her and had directly entered the teaching building, Song Yiyi felt a pang of disappointment.

Jiang Chen's indifferent attitude when speaking to her earlier, basically ignoring her, made her feel that she was just an ordinary classmate in his eyes.

He didn't seem to like her that much.

Song Yiyi shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. What was she thinking about? There were many things to handle now; she didn't have time to think about romantic feelings.

With that, Song Yiyi also entered the experimental building.

In the experimental building, Zhang Banxian and Fatty hurried over when they saw Jiang Chen enter.

With concerned expressions, they asked, "What did General Pagoda want with you?"

"Nothing much, he just asked me about what happened, so I told him what I saw."

Hearing that it was nothing serious, both of them relaxed.

After all, Jiang Chen was different from Song Yiyi. Song Yiyi was the Principal's granddaughter and held a high status.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was just an ordinary student at the school.

It was natural for people to overthink things if General Pagoda had kept them alone.

However, since there was nothing wrong, it was the best outcome.

The building collapse was just an accident.

Not long after, General Pagoda arrived and announced some good news.

The school would be on break until the teaching building was rebuilt.

Upon hearing about the break, Fatty jumped up with joy and shouted, "Hooray!"

Others heard Fatty's shout and also said, "Long live!"

For students, nothing is more anticipated than a holiday.

General Pagoda moved his eyebrows after hearing this, but said nothing.

He just thought to himself, Youth is truly wonderful.

He had been young once too.

Naturally, he could understand how they felt.

After a while, General Pagoda spoke again, "Then I wish you all a happy holiday in advance!"

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

With that, General Pagoda turned his back and left directly.

The students still in the experimental building also left in small groups, two or three at a time.

Everyone was discussing what they would do during the holiday.

Zhang Banxian saw that Jiang Chen had no intention of leaving.

"Uncle-Master Jiang, aren't you hungry? Where are we eating for lunch?"

"You and Fatty go eat first. You don't need to wait for me at noon. I need to go to the library to look up some things,"

Jiang Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"Ah, you're going to the library?"

Fatty clearly hadn't processed this and asked.

"Yes, I need to look up some things."

"Then Zhang Banxian and I will go with you!"

Fatty said without thinking.

"That's fine too!"

And so, the three of them went to the library together.

Upon arriving at the library, Jiang Chen didn't expect there to be many people.

He found that there were still quite a lot of people inside.

It seemed that many people wanted to study hard during the holiday.

Jiang Chen just thought about it for a moment before looking for the books he wanted.

After Jiang Chen found his books, Fatty and Zhang Banxian curiously went to look.

When they saw, they were a bit disappointed.

They had originally thought that Jiang Chen wasn't going to lunch because of something important.

They hadn't expected him to be taking out a pile of novels.

It really didn't seem worth skipping lunch for these novels.

Jiang Chen came out carrying over twenty books.

They were all related to the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts and mythology.

Some were even purely novels.

Jiang Chen didn't plan to finish these books here.

Instead, he checked them out for half a month.

The loan period was two weeks.

After finishing, Jiang Chen walked out with his pile of books, along with Zhang Banxian and Fatty.

Fatty touched his stomach and said, "Can we go eat now?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "It's time to eat too."

"Brother Chen, what do you want to eat?"

As soon as food was mentioned, Fatty's spirits lifted.

"You decide. Everything you pick is delicious anyway!"

"What about you, Zhang Banxian? What do you want to eat?"

"I'm not very hungry. You decide!"

Although Zhang Banxian said this, he was actually pondering Jiang Chen borrowing books.

From his understanding of Jiang Chen, he had never been someone who particularly enjoyed reading.

In the past three years, he had only been to the library a handful of times.

Why was he acting so out of character today?

Did something happen?

With the question in his heart, he secretly sized up Jiang Chen.

He found nothing out of the ordinary.

So he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.

Fatty, naturally, didn't notice anything amiss.

His mind was entirely focused on what to eat for lunch.

Finally, after a moment of thought, he led the two of them to a roast chicken restaurant.

They used to frequent this place.

The chicken was delicious, uniquely seasoned, and it was a century-old establishment.

Naturally, it attracted many customers.

Fatty had a VIP card, which granted him priority ordering privileges.

The three of them arrived at their reserved room.

They placed their order.

Before long, the table was filled with the dishes they had ordered.

Before Jiang Chen could even eat, he felt something was wrong.

He realized that at some point, the scenery around him had changed.

A giant ghost eye appeared overhead!

It smiled at him
