[Ding! The knocking ghost was terrified after spitting blood.]
[Host gained System Points +18]
"What did you do to me?"
The knocking ghost clutched its ears in pain, looking at Qiu Xiaolin in terror.
She realized.
The small, round-faced college student popped her chewing gum bubble with a "pop" sound, like standing in the sky during a thunderstorm. The sound was so loud, like thunder roaring, that her soul felt like it was shattering, striking directly at her core.
Unfortunately, Qiu Xiaolin didn't respond at all and blew another bubble of gum.
At this moment.
Zhang Ya and the others also came back to their senses. Seeing Qiu Xiaolin blow another bubble of gum, the knocking ghost showed terror. It was now completely certain that chewing gum could deal with ghosts.
Immediately.
They looked at each other, both surprised and excited. They quickly picked up the chewing gum in their hands, rapidly opened the packaging, and put the gum into their mouths, chewing quickly.
"Ghost, you're finished! Sisters, charge! Blow!"
Zhang Ya shouted excitedly.
She blew a bubble of gum.
Pop~ Pop~ Pop~ Pop~
Accompanied by four popping sounds of gum bubbles, the four of them popped their gum bubbles.
"Ah!!!!"
The knocking ghost cried out in agony, as if struck by lightning, clutching its ears and kneeling on the ground.
It wanted to cover its ears to prevent itself from hearing the sound of the chewing gum.
However, the sound of the gum bubble was like a direct strike to its soul, something that couldn't be solved by simply covering its ears.
For a moment.
A strange scene appeared.
Pop~ Pop~ Pop~ Pop~
In a university dormitory, four female college students stood in a square, surrounding a blood-soaked female ghost, chewing gum at it and letting out excited laughter.
Crucially, the ghost looked at them eating chewing gum as if it were watching a horror movie, terrified, its courage shattered, screaming, "No, no!"
Then.
As they excitedly blew gum bubbles at the ghost, they popped with a "pop."
"Ah ah ah ah!!!!"
The ghost screamed in pain, continuously spitting blood from its mouth while blood also gushed from its seven orifices.
"Ghost, look at me, look at me."
A roommate popped her gum bubble.
The ghost immediately screamed non-stop.
This scene was bewildering. It was hard to imagine this was how a human would react to encountering a ghost, and even harder to imagine a ghost reacting this way to a person eating chewing gum.
"Don't blow anymore, don't blow anymore, I can't take it."
The knocking ghost shouted:
"Ah!!! No!! Please don't! I'm going to be blown to death!!"
In response.
Zhang Ya felt a great sense of satisfaction and laughed, saying, "Who would have thought that we girls liked to be blown when we were alive, and are afraid of being blown after death."
...
Meanwhile.
In Habing City, a shop that outwardly sold grilled cold noodles, but was actually the Habing City's Guardian Department.
At this time.
On the second floor of the shop.
Since they would be parting ways tomorrow, Zhang Wei and the others didn't sleep. They chose to play "Fight the Landlord" since they couldn't play games together.
The sound of the "Fight the Landlord" background music, played by Zhang Wei to create an atmosphere, echoed in their ears.
Zhang Chao waved his hand in front of Zhang Wei, thinking Zhang Wei was spacing out.
"Is it my turn?"
Zhang Wei blinked, then after asking about the cards Zhang Chao had played, he directly threw out four Queens.
Seeing that no one could play, he threw out six more cards: 444333:
"Airplane!"
Zhang Chao, seeing this, couldn't play and teased:
"Zhang Wei, what were you spacing out about just now? Were you thinking about your little steamed bun, hehe."
In fact.
Zhang Chao was only half right.
Zhang Wei's spacing out was indeed related to Qiu Xiaolin. Just a few minutes ago, a system prompt had sounded in his mind, indicating that Qiu Xiaolin had used Green Arrow chewing gum.
He didn't hesitate.
He immediately added more system points to the Green Arrow chewing gum.
The reason Zhang Chao and the others mistook him for spacing out was simply because he was paying attention to Qiu Xiaolin's situation.
After giving others items that were enhanced by system points, not only could Zhang Wei be notified by the system when others used them, even from a distance, but he could also check their situation, somewhat like having a remote surveillance camera.
Watching Qiu Xiaolin and the others playfully tormenting the knocking ghost.
"This girl is quite rowdy. Where did she learn all this?" Zhang Wei chuckled inwardly, complaining.
At the same time.
Zhang Wei also felt relieved.
With his Green Arrow chewing gum, Qiu Xiaolin was at least safe for the night.
As he thought this.
Zhang Wei replied to Zhang Chao:
"No, I was thinking about when you'll give me your sister's WeChat. Zhang Chao, I want to call you brother-in-law."
Zhang Chao laughed heartily:
"You're looking at what's in the bowl while thinking about what's in the pot. However, giving you my sister's WeChat isn't impossible. My sister did want me to get to know you before. Come on, if you win this hand, I'll give you my sister's WeChat."
"Deal!"
Zhang Wei directly threw down his cards: "Spring!"
Zhang Chao's eyes widened: "Damn it, you sneaky bastard, you hid a trump card."
At this moment, Lu Lianxue asked curiously: "Zhang Wei, as you said before, Little Steamed Bun seems to have provoked something unclean. Aren't you worried at all?"
While bantering with Zhang Chao, the two engaging in some theatrical hand-chopping duels, Zhang Wei replied:
"Not worried."
"Why?" Lu Lianxue, Wu Nian, and Zhang Chao asked in unison.
"Because I gave Little Steamed Bun a stick of Green Arrow chewing gum."
...
At the same time.
In Qiu Xiaolin's dormitory.
After several consecutive pops of gum bubbles.
The knocking ghost suffered heavy injuries and chose to beg for mercy on its knees. Then, during its plea, as Qiu Xiaolin and the others paused, it suddenly transformed into a green light and rushed to the balcony, escaping the dormitory.
Before leaving.
The knocking ghost, suspended in the air on the balcony, did not forget to look back. Its blood-soaked face was filled with hatred and resentment:
"I won't let you go!!"
Watching the knocking ghost leave, their floor was the fifth, making it impossible to pursue.
"The ghost ran away."
Zhang Ya's expression changed, and she stomped her foot in annoyance.
After all, they were still too inexperienced. This was their first time dealing with a ghost, and they couldn't outsmart it.
The roommate who had wanted to open the door earlier also spoke with concern:
"What do we do now? Xiaolin, do you still have any chewing gum?"
"Not much left, only one piece." Qiu Xiaolin took out the stick of gum.
A stick of Green Arrow chewing gum only had five pieces. Qiu Xiaolin had given one to herself and one to each of them, leaving only one piece.
Seeing this.
The roommate became even more worried. She had clearly heard that the knocking ghost would return for revenge. Although they were excited by the ghost-exorcising earlier, the ghost's escape also made them fearful.
"There's only one piece, not enough to share. What if the ghost comes back?" the roommate said.
At this moment.
Another roommate, Zhang Ya, heard this and suggested:
"Why don't we not separate for the next few days and stay together? That way, even with only one piece of gum, we won't have to fear the ghost harming us."
However, before the roommates could agree.
Qiu Xiaolin waved her hand with a smile:
"We don't need to be afraid of the ghost even without chewing gum."
"Why?"
"Because my ex-boyfriend is coming tomorrow."
