A Few People Asked for You by Name

"Ah!!!"

Yu Xing was startled awake from her sleep and heard a piercing scream coming from outside.

He rubbed his throbbing temples; the hard wooden bed beneath him made his back uncomfortable.

"Those vengeful spirits entered our building last night!"

Someone outside Yu Xing's house loudly expressed their shock.

Hmm.

Yu Xing squinted as she got out of bed, stretched her limbs, and gave a smile.

It was already dawn, probably a little past ten o'clock. He hadn't bothered to conceal the traces he left behind last night. Now, it was time to see the results of this chaotic mess.

Last night, after leaving the entertainment area, he opened several doors in the building area, letting the ghosts run in and have a free tour.

He covered the bloodstains around the crystal ball with more ghostly blood; in any case, he had calmly dealt with every trace he left behind.

After finishing everything, he returned to his room and fell asleep, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Regardless, after a period of intense emotional fluctuation, one will feel extremely tired and need to rest properly to recover. Fortunately, the darkness in the Underground City lasts for a full hour, and now that I've woken up, I feel quite good both physically and mentally.

He calmed down, but the others didn't.

How many years has it been since a ghost attacked someone at night? Oh, strictly speaking, the ghost didn't harm anyone this time, since everyone was perfectly fine in their rooms.

But can anyone tell them why the haunted house has entered the buildings in each area?

"The kitchen has been contaminated!"

"This party area has been broken into before, and now it's covered in bloody handprints; it's impossible to hold a party there!"

"The entertainment area... the entertainment area has been entered too! Damn it, that's my favorite place!"

"Luckily, the small wooden tubs in the reception area weren't contaminated, so I can still go in for a bath..."

"Look at you, so pathetic! So much has happened in the city, and you're still thinking about taking a bath. We definitely need to ask the Tree Witch to come out and take charge!"

Where is Mr. Klaus?

He was examining the traces in various places, trying to see if he could find anything...

Amidst the chaotic noise from the outside world, Yu Xing's mood improved slightly.

After finishing everything last night, he even went to the reception area to take a bath and took away a new robe that no one had used.

In the Underground City, no one's black robe is unique. Sometimes, while doing quests or other things, the black robe gets dirty, and in that case, they just need to put on a new one.

This also made it easier for Yu Xing to clean the bloodstains and ghostly aura off her body.

A short while later, Yu Xing smoothed her hair with her hands and tied it up with a small hair tie.

Last night's emotions affected the curse within me, causing my hair to grow a lot longer, like branches sprouting from a tree.

Not seeing any scissors, Yu Xing decided to ignore her hair, tidied herself up, and pushed open the door to her room.

After daybreak, everyone could have entered his room, but in the chaos, no one thought of the newcomer. Amber Bradley, who lived next to him, didn't want to wake him up at that time either, because they were busy restoring the building and didn't have time to deal with the various questions the newcomer might ask.

When Yu Xing came out, a few neighbors who were nearby greeted him, but they couldn't hide the panic on their faces.

[This book-reading app was recommended to me by a book-loving friend of ten years! It's incredibly useful; I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here.]

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy so early in the morning?" Yu Xing naturally walked towards the neighbors, feigning curiosity. "Is everyone excited because we're about to have a delicious meal at the party area?"

"Probably," a neighbor with a crew cut stammered. "It depends on what Mr. Klaus says. Actually, the party might not even be able to happen today... I heard they're cleaning up the party area."

"Oh, that's really strange." Taking advantage of the high ground, Yu Xing looked down and indeed saw many black-robed figures moving back and forth between the various areas.

Of course, the party couldn't be held. Yesterday, he caused several ghosts to fight inside, and in the end, he forced them to leave bloody handprints everywhere, including the long table in the party area. The tablecloth, which looked very luxurious in the Underground City, was torn to shreds.

It's impossible to restore it in a short time unless the Ghost Tree has special rules.

He had no desire to hold a party; he was already quite annoyed, and these followers of the Wizard Cult weren't allowed to laugh too happily in front of him.

Not to mention, none of the ingredients at the party were normal; Yu Xing even felt they weren't clean after eating them.

Hey, Roy!

Suddenly, a female voice came from below. Yu Xing looked over and saw a short girl waving at him.

"Mr. Klaus, Saintess Amber, and Ruben Reed are in the meeting area, looking for you! I'm here to deliver the message!"

"Oh? Thank you, I'll go right now." Yu Xing raised an eyebrow first, then nodded very cooperatively.

He guessed why these people were calling him out. In fact, he possessed the power of curses, and he was basically certain that even if these believers had some method of finding traces, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to him.

But Ruben Reed is there. Yesterday, this believer who obtained the Yindu Heart was targeting him, perhaps under the sole instruction of Ghost Tree. So today, Ruben Reed will definitely cause some trouble.

Recalling everything he had heard since waking up, Yu Xing smiled. He figured he would probably meet the mysterious Tree Witch today.

I wonder if the Tree Witch is actually Witch...

He walked towards the party area, and the young girl who came to deliver the message looked at him with a blush on her face, seemingly lost in thought.

The gathering area was not far from the residential area, where dozens of people were gathered. Upon seeing Yu Xing, they all made way with strange expressions, revealing the bearded Klaus, Amber Bradley, and Ruben Reed in the center of the circle.

In addition, there was a woman whose face was covered with black markings that possessed a strange and beautiful appearance.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, her figure fully revealed beneath the unrestrained black robe. Her expression was blank, exuding an air of noble aloofness. Her hair was piled high, and she wore a pair of long silver earrings.

Yu Xing subtly observed her. He had never seen this woman before. Judging from her position, she should be the highest-ranking Tree Witch, but she was not Witch.

The Tree Witch can receive divine pronouncements from the Ghost Tree, so is she also here to target him?

"Roy," Klaus called out first, the bearded man looking very friendly, "Come quickly, Ruben Reed has accused you of all this, Tree Witch is here to judge."

"Mr. Klaus, you can't tell him this before I've even asked him anything!" Ruben immediately glared, seemingly accusing Klaus of his close relationship with Yu Xing.
