In Wushan Village, deep in the night, a chilling wind blew.
Wei Fan opened his eyes and saw an eerie white shadow wandering outside the hut made of mud and straw.
"It's here again!" Wei Fan's hair stood on end as he lowered his breathing.
Wei Fan was a transmigrator. He had arrived in this world, which resembled an ancient society, intending to use his knowledge to achieve great things.
But Wei Fan soon realized he was wrong, because this world contained extremely terrifying things: oddities, monstrous entities!
This was no ordinary ancient world, but one where 'ghosts' existed.
Wei Fan held his breath. The white shadow outside the window was called 'Bai You.' Every time it appeared, it would snatch away a person's soul.
The village had Night Watchers specifically to deal with these oddities and monsters, but Bai You's appearances were unpredictable.
Sometimes it would appear every few months, other times only after several years. The village's Night Watcher force was severely understaffed, so Bai You's problem remained unsolved.
"This is bad!" Seeing Bai You lingering in front of his house, Wei Fan frowned, a strong sense of crisis welling up within him.
Based on Wei Fan's analysis, Bai You usually only targeted those with weak bodies.
After transmigrating and realizing the existence of these oddities, Wei Fan began to train his body, and his physical condition was quite good.
Thinking of this, Wei Fan glanced at a small bed not far away. In the moonlight, a fair-skinned maiden was fast asleep.
That was his sister, Wei Yingying, his only family in this world.
His parents in this life had also been Night Watchers in the village and had treated Wei Fan and Wei Yingying very well.
But they had sacrificed their lives during an attack by an oddity, leaving behind only an inheritance and the young Wei Fan and Wei Yingying.
Just then, Wei Yingying seemed to sense something and also woke up from her sleep, nimbly crawling into Wei Fan's quilt.
"Brother, I'm scared~" Wei Yingying's body trembled slightly as she curled up beside Wei Fan, appearing incredibly small and helpless.
Wei Fan had initially wanted to tell her that she was old enough now, and even as siblings, they needed to maintain boundaries and shouldn't sleep together anymore.
But considering the white shadow lurking outside the window, he pulled Wei Yingying closer and said with a firm tone, "It's okay, Brother's here!"
"Mmm, with Brother beside me, Yingying isn't scared anymore!" Wei Yingying's eyes shimmered with a strange light, and a sweet smile graced her lips.
Wei Fan's heart warmed. He looked at his sister, his gaze becoming exceptionally gentle.
He was also surprised to find that his sister had already grown, no longer the little girl she used to be.
Even by his standards, having lived two lives, his sister was very beautiful, possessing a unique charm in every smile and glance.
However, Wei Fan's heart was as calm as still water; he harbored no excessive thoughts.
"Hoo..."
Wei Fan felt Wei Yingying's steady breathing and knew she had fallen asleep.
"This girl." Wei Fan chuckled in amusement, surprised that Wei Yingying had fallen asleep so quickly.
After lingering by the window, the white shadow eventually left. Wei Fan's anxious heart finally settled.
He remained sleepless the entire night.
The next day, noisy shouts erupted from outside.
"Something's happened, something's happened!"
"The Bai You ghost came to steal souls!"
"Yu Dafu's whole family is dead!"
Clang clang clang~
Accompanied by the dense, piercing sound of gongs, the surrounding residents woke up one by one.
"Brother, what happened?" Wei Yingying was also startled awake, asking sleepily.
"It's nothing, you go back to sleep. Brother will go check!" Wei Fan agilely rolled out of bed, revealing his well-defined upper body, with sleek muscles possessing a beautiful aesthetic.
After learning about the existence of oddities in this world, Wei Fan had started training his body and practicing the "Tiger's Breath Art," a manual left by his parents.
He had now reached the first level of the "Tiger's Breath Art," with a single-arm strength of 300 jin. In his previous life, he would have been considered quite capable.
But in this world overrun by oddities, he could only be considered relatively strong.
He put on his coarse cloth clothes and tied a rope belt around his waist.
Wei Fan pushed open the door and strode towards the gathering crowd.
"Yu Dafu is dead! He and his son are both dead!"
Before Wei Fan could get close, someone said with a trembling voice.
"Huh? Two people died in one night?" Wei Fan's eyes narrowed. Logically, Bai You only killed one person when it appeared.
This time, it had killed two, and Yu Dafu and his son were tenants in the village. They were usually thin but certainly not weak.
When things deviate from the norm, there must be a reason!
Wei Fan pushed through the crowd and looked into Yu Dafu's house. Two corpses lay sprawled on the ground, their faces contorted as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before death.
"Bai You!" Wei Fan clenched his fists, thinking of the white shadow that had lingered outside his house last night, a powerful sense of crisis surging within him.
"Ding, energy collection complete, system loading!"
"God-tier Point Addition System loading complete, Host please check."
A clear voice sounded in his mind, and Wei Fan's body trembled.
After waiting 17 years, the system had finally arrived!
