Da Zhou was clearly saying this on purpose, because most of her Five Elements Talismans were designed to deal with Ghost.

"I advise you to think twice," Ling Yi warned.

"Have you misunderstood something?" Da Zhou asked, trying to appear calm, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Tch!" Ling Yi ignored her and instead opened his attribute list.

Ling Yi ultimately underestimated the power of the system skills; each skill expands into many uses after being upgraded.

In less than two hours since the live stream ended, Ling Yi's Fear Points has increased by nearly 200,000.

And it's still increasing.

The news that Da Zhou hired a Daoist priest to exorcise a ghost has once again become a trending topic online, with numerous videos circulating online, especially the video of the fake Daoist priest fighting the ghost, which has almost gone viral.

This also made the fake Daoist priest famous. To outsiders, although the fake Daoist priest failed, his " Sword Control Technique " was real.

The fake Daoist priest disappeared without a trace, and neither those who knew him nor those who didn't could contact him anymore.

Some even said that the fake Daoist priest was already finished, after all, Ling Yi was so powerful.

For the next two days, Da Zhou was busy drawing talismans, making talisman treasures, researching information and documents, or arguing with some haters online.

"Hey, Ling Yi, aren't you going too far?" That night, Da Zhou held up the talisman, intending to avenge the "scare" he had suffered earlier under the guise of "testing" its power.

As a result, he discovered that he was completely unable to launch an attack on Ling Yi.

"I've already told you to behave yourself, why won't you listen?" Ling Yi raised his right hand, above which floated more than a dozen throwing knives that he had specially ordered online.

The throwing knives formed an array, slowly rotating, making Da Zhou's teeth ache just watching.

She turned and went into her bedroom, completely ignoring Ling Yi's threat. She had figured out Ling Yi's personality over this period of time, and she didn't believe Ling Yi would attack her.

A moment later, Da Zhou appeared before Ling Yi, fully armed, carrying a peach wood sword on his back, with the talismans he had drawn in the past two days hanging at his waist, and holding a live broadcast pole.

What are you trying to do?

"Let's go catch ghosts!" Da Zhou blinked his big eyes and looked at Ling Yi.

"Then let's go!"

"I don't dare to go by myself, you have to come with me," Da Zhou said matter-of-factly.

"Why go ghost hunting for no reason? It's so late at night, wouldn't it be better to stay home, play games, and watch videos..."

Seeing Da Zhou's very serious expression, Ling Yi stopped. "Alright, tell me why!"

Have you heard of the Highway 106 Incident?

Ling Yi nodded. He had been browsing the news online these past few days and had discovered quite a few urban Legend.

The bizarre events Highway 106 are another urban Legend in Baidu City.

Highway 106 is the ring road of Baidu City, a road specifically designed to disperse traffic flow, and it has many intersections.

The intersection at Android 19 is where the strange events occurred.

It is said that anyone who crosses this intersection will die inexplicably within a week, and the manner of each death is extremely gruesome.

The urban Legend surrounding the strange events along Highway 106 began with the deaths of a young couple.

About a year ago, one night, a young man was walking home late at night. The intersection of No. 9 Road was a place he always passed through, because entering the inner ring road from there would save him a lot of time.

But that night, the intersection of Road No. 9 was blocked by a wooden fence with a warning sign that read, "Danger ahead, construction underway, please detour for your safety."

The person was in a hurry to get home, so Ignore the warning signs, moved the wooden fence aside, and placed it diagonally across the middle of the road.

And this was the beginning of the tragedy.

He had just turned the corner when he was hit head-on by a speeding truck, killing him instantly.

His wife, extremely worried after waiting for him to return, rode her motorcycle to look for him.

Because of the high speed and poor visibility at night, she crashed into the wooden fence along with her car.

This wooden fence was the same warning fence at intersection No. 9 that her husband had moved but hadn't put back in place.

The wife also died on the spot, and her body was less than 50 meters away from her husband's.

For nearly a year afterward, anyone who passed through intersection No. 9 would die mysteriously within a week. Including the couple who started the incident, a total of 13 people had died.

This is the urban Legend surrounding the bizarre events on Highway 106.

"My good friend Er Mozi died two weeks ago. Before she died, she passed through intersection No. 9. I used to just think Er Mozi was unlucky, but now I reckon there's probably something sinister at that intersection No. 9."

"Are you going to seek revenge?"

"Um!"

Ling Yi Ying Yi and entered Da Zhou's phone. The phone then detached from the selfie stick and hovered in front of Da Zhou.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Ling Yi's voice came from the phone.

"This is really convenient," Da Zhou said with some envy.

"That's easy. Just find a rope and hang yourself up. You can do it in less than five minutes."

Da Zhou rolled his eyes, opened the door, and walked out.

Twenty minutes later, Da Zhou drove the two of them to the vicinity of intersection No. 9.

As he got out of the car, Da Zhou was preparing to start his live stream.

"Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like I'll benefit from this livestream. Let me upgrade my aura first!"

"Ha?"

"Upgrade my cheat codes."

"Holy crap, your cheat system can level up on its own? I want one too!"

"People should learn to be content!" Ling Yi said, upgrading his Passive Fear Aura to LV2.

At LV1, one can only absorb the Fear Points generated by oneself in other living beings, which is a significant limitation for Ling Yi.

For example, if Da Zhou were to livestream himself catching ghosts now, he would hardly feel involved, and since the audience couldn't see him, they naturally wouldn't feel any fear because of him.

Sure enough, the conditions for absorbing Fear Points have changed with the level 2 aura.

"Absorbing fears arising from people or things with which one has Karma."

Is there any Karma between Da Zhou and myself? Of course there is; I Sharing her cheat abilities with her.

"Perfect!" Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, let's start the live stream."

Ling Yi took the initiative to start a live stream, controlling his phone to hover beside Da Zhou.

Da Zhou wanted to ask something, but since the live stream was already on, she could only wait until she got back to ask.

The popularity of Da Zhou goes without saying; even though it started airing so late, a large number of viewers still flocked to it.

Da Zhou then began to explain the purpose of his live stream.

"Hey Old Tie, some of you might have already recognized it. That's right, this is Highway 106 in Baidu City, and this intersection is the Legend Intersection No. 9." Da Zhou got straight to the point.

Ling Yi dutifully acted as the photographer, adjusting the lens and scanning the surroundings.

At this moment, intersection No. 9 is still blocked by a fence, but now it has been replaced with an iron fence.

The warning sign above has been changed to. "No entry at this intersection, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"See that? This is an official warning. I don't need to explain what it means, do I?"

"Look at the weapon in my hand! Today, I, the Da Zhou, will show you my true strength."

Some viewers were worried, some Taunt, but most thought that Da Zhou had gotten too big for his britches and was eagerly offering snacks to the ghost.

Several Rocket shot into the sky from the live broadcast room.

This is Rocket sent by Da Zhou's good friends Xiao Qiuqiu and Dum-E Dai. The comments following it all advise Da Zhou to go home as soon as possible.

Er Mozi is not only Da Zhou's friend, but also Xiao Qiuqiu and Dum-E Dai's friend. They probably guessed Da Zhou's thoughts, but didn't they know what kind of person Da Zhou was?

"Don't worry, sisters, I would never do something I'm not sure I can handle."

Da Zhou's purpose was not to broadcast live, so she was in a completely different state at this moment compared to her usual live broadcasts.

After explaining a few things, he ignored the live stream and went to move the iron fence.

However, Da Zhou overestimated her strength; the weight of the iron fence was beyond her imagination.

The authorities sealed off the road with iron fences, and they certainly wouldn't have just put up a cheap imitation; these iron fences were made of solid iron posts.

Da Zhou looked at his phone with a pitiful expression. Was he going to fail right from the start?

Ling Yi knew that Da Zhou was really asking him for help, so he didn't waste any words. He used his LV10 Magnetic Field Control to instantly levitate the iron fence, as if a giant hand was lifting it up and throwing it aside with a loud "clang".

This scene startled not only the viewers in the live stream, but also Da Zhou.

This iron fence looks really heavy; at the very least, it must weigh at least five or six hundred pounds.

Just then, Da Zhou felt a chilling Aura suddenly descend upon him.

Ignoring the chat room that was already exploding with comments, Da Zhou shouted, " Heavenly Eye, activate!"

Ling Yi then cooperated by altering the Magnetic Field around the phone. This Magnetic Field functioned similarly to opening Heavenly Eye, except that it was for the phone's camera, with the aim of allowing viewers in the live stream to see things they couldn't see before.

The previously empty intersection at No. 9 now has two figures.

Although they were semi-transparent, their bloodstained clothes, completely Shapeshifting bodies, and distorted faces were clearly visible.

"My God, this is so damn ugly!" Da Zhou exclaimed, involuntarily taking a few steps back.

This was the first time she had ever seen something like this, and she instinctively felt fear.

At this moment, Ling Yi's voice rang in Da Zhou's mind. "Throw talismans at them. With me here, what are you afraid of?"
