Due to a previous transaction of Ghost King heads between the older aunt and Zhang Wei.
The Wei Dao Division tasked the older aunt with making amends by being responsible for another Ghost King head transaction with Zhang Wei.
This time.
The older aunt was more cautious, keeping a watchful eye. To avoid being robbed midway, even though the Ghost King heads were in Sanxiang Province and not Xiamen City, she chose to escort them back during the day and brought several more Qilin Guards.
The next day.
10 AM.
Just after class, Zhang Wei received a call from the older aunt.
Having learned about the situation from Old Man Willow the previous night, Zhang Wei thought for a moment and replied to the older aunt:
"Same as usual. I haven't decided what I want yet. I'll tell you when I do."
After hanging up the phone.
Li Junfei, who was beside him, chuckled:
"Brother Wei, what are you planning to exchange with the Wei Dao Division? I think you should exchange for magical artifacts. I heard from the class monitor that a powerful magical artifact can significantly boost a ghost exorcist's combat power."
Zhang Wei smiled.
Other ghost exorcists needed magical artifacts to enhance their combat power, but with the system points he had, everything in his hands became a powerful magical artifact, so he didn't need any.
Thinking this.
Zhang Wei replied, "Magical artifacts, I don't think I need them. I plan to exchange for something else."
Subsequently.
Zhang Wei went to the classroom for his next lesson, sat down, picked up his phone, and opened the Wei Dao Division forum. He didn't know what to exchange for, so he planned to browse the trading posts on the forum for anything good and then exchange for similar items with the Wei Dao Division.
...
Meanwhile.
In Xiamen City, a coffee shop.
Ding ling.
As the coffee shop door was pushed open, the bell at the entrance rang, and a brightly dressed girl walked in.
It was Xiao Pei, the female companion player Zhang Wei had called over not long ago.
However.
Xiao Pei wasn't called over as a companion player today; she was invited by some friends for a gathering.
"Wow, Xiao Pei, you're late again."
Xiao Pei walked towards a table where four girls were sitting. The girl by the aisle, seeing Xiao Pei arrive, habitually pointed at her watch and complained.
Xiao Pei smiled apologetically:
"Hehe, sorry! I was late because I was doing my makeup. By the way, did you order a cappuccino for me?"
"Ordered it, here you go."
The girl by the aisle shifted her body to make space for Xiao Pei and handed her a coffee.
Xiao Pei happily took the coffee and scanned the girls:
"Right, why are we all free to gather today? You're usually all so busy, especially Wan Ling. Didn't you say you were working as a kindergarten teacher recently?"
She said this while checking the time:
"It's Monday, working hours. Why are you here? Hoho~ You said you wanted to be a good teacher, and you've only been working for a few days and you're already taking leave? Hmm? Wan Ling, what's wrong with you? Why are you so listless today?"
Xiao Pei noticed the girl named Wan Ling, sitting next to the girl by the aisle.
Wan Ling was never like this before; she was the liveliest among them. Today, however, she seemed dejected, not speaking, and constantly lowering her head, staring blankly at her coffee cup.
Peeking at Wan Ling.
Xiao Pei noticed that Wan Ling wasn't wearing makeup and had gone out bare-faced, looking exhausted.
Instead of Wan Ling, it was the other girls who answered Xiao Pei. They spoke one after another, explaining:
"Actually, we're out gathering today because of Wan Ling."
"Xiao Pei, you don't know, Wan Ling's mental state hasn't been very good lately. She keeps saying she encountered ghosts at the kindergarten. There are no ghosts in this world, are there? I think it's just that Wan Ling is new to being a kindergarten teacher and dealing with those naughty kids is too tiring, leading to hallucinations."
"It's also possible that the children are playing pranks on Wan Ling, and Wan Ling, being timid, took it seriously."
"Wan Ling called us out today because she hasn't been feeling well. So, it's a good opportunity to gather and help Wan Ling relax and recover from fatigue."
As they were talking.
At this moment, Wan Ling, who had been lost in thought, seemed to snap back to reality. She heard their conversation and couldn't help but look up and say:
"I really saw a ghost, I swear. If it weren't for the protective amulet my grandmother got for me from the Northeast, I might have been killed by the ghost."
Wan Ling knew her friends didn't believe her, as she had told them quite a bit these past two days, but they wouldn't believe her.
Unable to help herself.
She picked up her phone:
"I know you don't believe me, but I really saw a ghost. I called you all here today to prove it to you. I'm not kidding. Look at this video, I filmed a ghost yesterday."
Xiao Pei and the others leaned closer to look at the phone.
It could be seen.
A video was playing on the phone. The scene was in a kindergarten lounge. It was probably the afternoon break, and the kindergarten children were napping in the lounge. Wan Ling was covering the children with blankets.
And as Wan Ling passed by a sleeping child.
A bizarre scene appeared.
Behind Wan Ling, a blackened hand emerged. The hand looked as if a dead body had been soaked in water for a long time, the hand was rotten and blackened. That hand mysteriously appeared behind Wan Ling and slowly reached towards her neck.
Just as Wan Ling was about to be grabbed by the black hand, the black hand suddenly touched the pendant of a protective amulet on Wan Ling's neck, and in an instant, it was so startled that it recoiled.
This scene.
Was indescribably eerie and inexplicably chilling.
"This... Wan Ling, are you sure you filmed this? It's not special effects?"
The girl by the aisle's gaze was filled with horror. She had clearly watched the entire thing. Behind Wan Ling were only sleeping children, but the size of those black hands suggested they belonged to an adult, and there was no adult behind her.
When Wan Ling repeatedly affirmed and swore that the video was not fake.
For a moment.
All the girls present fell silent.
"I filmed this video yesterday. Believe me, there really are ghosts in this world."
Wan Ling stated directly.
As she spoke.
Just as the girls by the aisle and the others were about to respond.
Xiao Pei, who hadn't spoken before, suddenly interjected:
"Wan Ling, I believe you."
Seeing someone believe her, Wan Ling's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Xiao Pei pointing at the child in the video whom she had covered, saying:
"Wan Ling, isn't this child called... Hmm, called Yu Yu."
"Hmm? How do you know?"
Wan Ling was stunned but still replied:
"Yes, that's Lin Yu. His family likes to call him Yu Yu. Do you know Yu Yu, Wan Ling?"
Feeling the gazes of the other girls. Xiao Pei chuckled wryly:
"Not just know him, I even... saw a ghost with him a few days ago. But the ghost was dealt with later. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be here today."
Before she finished speaking.
Xiao Pei looked at Wan Ling:
"Wan Ling, you've probably really encountered a ghost. How about I call my friend to help? He can exorcise ghosts. He helped deal with the ghost I saw last time. But he doesn't exorcise ghosts for free; he charges money. Should I call him?"
"Yes, please! No matter how much it costs, it's fine. Hurry up and call your friend."
Wan Ling said anxiously.
At the same time.
The other girls looked over curiously. They were close friends with Xiao Pei, and they knew most of Xiao Pei's friends.
They couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Xiao Pei, who is your friend? Do we know him?"
Xiao Pei was taken aback and covered her mouth, laughing:
"Yes, you know him, but he doesn't know you."
"Ah? Who?"
"Tiga."
"What the heck????????"
