Ghost Catching System

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Sadako, Subsonic Wave_1

With the addition of the two female ghosts, Sadako’s burden was greatly eased as countless Xiao Gui were slain.

”Ding... Killed Xiao Gui, gained 500 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Killed Xiao Gui, gained 500 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Xiao Gui dropped an item; it has been stored in the inventory.”

”Ding... Xiao Gui dropped an item; it has been stored in the inventory.”

Chu Hao looked at his abundant loot, feeling thrilled. While Pretentiousness Points could buy items, Experience Points were equally crucial. After all, a higher level meant gaining more Pretentiousness Points.

Moreover, the slain Xiao Gui had dropped quite a few items.

For example, there were Soulrend Talismans, Peace Talismans, Consecrated Buddhas, Novice Peachwood Swords, Cow Eye Tears, and other common things.

Chu Hao eagerly anticipated, When will an Evil Ghost show up? Killing one grants 5,000 Experience Points!

”Ding... Congratulations, Host has leveled up to Level 6.”

Host: Chu Hao

Trainee Ghost Hunter: Level 6 (Reach Level 9 to become an Apprentice Ghost Hunter)

Experience Points: 0/100,000

Pretentiousness Points: 95

Mana Points: 100

Ghost Servants: Sadako, Jiayeci, Chu Beauty

Finally, on the fifth floor, an incredibly strong Evil Ghost was found. It had a decaying visage and exuded dense Yin energy.

It charged straight at Sadako.

Sadako was on another level. After consuming the Evil Ghost Pill, her strength surpassed that of ordinary Evil Ghosts. She twisted her body mechanically, and CRUNCH! CRUNCH! The Evil Ghost was dismembered.

”Ding... Killed Evil Ghost, gained 5,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Evil Ghost dropped a Bronze Treasure Chest.”

Overjoyed, Chu Hao hastily asked, ”System, what’s the drop rate of a Bronze Treasure Chest from an Evil Ghost?”

System: ”A one-in-a-thousand chance.”

Chu Hao laughed heartily, ”Haha... What a stroke of luck! Open the Bronze Treasure Chest.”

”Ding... Host has acquired a Cursed Peach Wood Sword.”

Chu Hao quickly checked the price of the Cursed Peach Wood Sword: 50 Pretentiousness Points. It was indeed a huge stroke of luck.

Equipping the new gear, Chu Hao was eager to try it out. He rushed forward, and with one strike, the six Xiao Gui ahead emitted piercing screams. Cursed Inscriptions appeared on their bodies, and they were reduced to ash.

A Pretentious Divine Artifact, impressive!

Charged with excitement, Chu Hao found it much more powerful than the three-hundred-year-old Peachwood Sword. The Inscriptions it released were also simply magnificent for showing off.

Another Evil Ghost pounced out—a woman whose face was covered in blood. Sadako was about to make a move.

Chu Hao hurriedly said, ”Let me handle this one.”

”Stinking Taoist priest, you deserve to die!” the Female Ghost shrieked, the sound piercing their eardrums.

Chu Hao picked his ear and said impatiently, ”Stop your shrieking! You little ghosts are nothing. Send your boss out, otherwise... this Taoist Master will wipe every single one of you out today!”

”Ding... Host has successfully flaunted in front of a Ghost, gaining 6 Pretentiousness Points.”

The Evil Ghost was filled with anger yet also became somewhat timorous. However, Chu Hao gave it no chance. He lunged forward, gathering his Mana Points, and stabbed straight at it.

”Ah!” The Evil Ghost was instantly killed.

”Ding... Killed an Evil Ghost, gained 5,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Evil Ghost dropped an Evil Ghost Pill, which has been placed in the inventory.”

Chu Hao was pleasantly surprised—another Evil Ghost Pill! This was good stuff.

He had Sadako consume it. Recognizing the potential for even stronger spirits, Sadako’s strength was paramount.

”Ding... Ghost Servant Sadako has leveled up to Level 3.”

”Ding... Sadako has acquired the Subsonic Wave skill.”

Chu Hao was ecstatic and quickly checked Sadako’s attributes.

Evil Ghost: Yamamura Sadako

Level: 3

Strength: 25

Agility: 23

Intelligence: 19

Skills: Seven-Day Death Curse, Subsonic Wave (Upgradeable; Psychic Power)

Chu Hao burst into wild laughter and said, ”Sadako, give me a scream.”

”Yes, Master.”

Ahead, seeing Chu Hao kill the Evil Ghost with a single strike, the Xiao Gui were terrified and turned tail, fleeing for their lives.

It seemed that even ghosts could be afraid of people.

Suddenly, Sadako opened her mouth and emitted a shrill scream. The terrifying subsonic waves formed visible ripples, causing some of the Xiao Gui to scream in agony as they disintegrated into ash.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

All the glass on this floor shattered, sending shards raining down.

”Ding... Host has successfully shown off, receiving 6 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao was incredibly smug as he said, ”Haha... Sadako, continue to clear the way.”

People in the hospital below also heard the piercing scream. Some grew so pale with fear that their legs went weak.

Fang Jingxue’s expression was vacant, yet she was incredibly excited. Could her Master be fighting such a powerful Ghost? I really want to rush in and see!

Qin Zhengyu was also greatly shocked. That scream just now was horrible and grating to the ears; it made his legs go weak.

”That’s so cool!!”

「At this moment, on the twelfth floor of the hospital.」

There were five men and a young woman, each with a grim expression on their face.

The attire of these five men was odd. They wore dark helmets and uniforms from the Seventh District. The uniforms resembled police attire but weren’t quite the same, featuring many Inscriptions drawn in blood. Each of them held a specially made gun, their faces grave.

One of the men, about thirty years old, was trembling as he held his gun. ”Old Yuan,” he said, ”this Ghost is stronger than we thought.”

Old Yuan, a man in his sixties, was the most peculiar of them all. Clad in a Taoist robe and wielding a Peachwood Sword, he took a deep breath. ”Don’t be afraid,” he said. ”Reinforcements are on their way. Let’s hold out a bit longer.”

Suddenly, the young and beautiful woman screamed, ”She... she’s coming!”

In the darkness, the atmosphere was grim and terrifying.

A woman appeared. Her hair was disheveled, and she emanated a heavy aura of death.

Her large belly was ripped open, with grotesque heads popping out—heads like those of adults, with bizarre and savage expressions, emitting sharp, piercing laughter.

Chu Hao was having a blast killing on the floors below and had already breached the seventh floor.

Along the way, he killed many more Evil Ghosts. What depressed him somewhat was his apparent lack of luck: he hadn’t looted any Bronze Treasure Chests. Forget Bronze Treasure Chests, not a single item had dropped.

Chu Hao wondered in dismay, Could my luck have run out?

Yet another Evil Ghost was torn apart by Sadako.

”Ding... Killing an Evil Ghost, you’ve gained 5,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Evil Ghost dropped an Evil Ghost Pill, which has been stored in the inventory.”

Just as he was lamenting his lack of luck, there it was.

Chu Hao immediately had Jiayeci consume it.

Evil Ghost: Jiayeci

Strength: 15

Agility: 14

Intelligence: 15

Skill: Hair Strangler (Upgradeable; Clone, Assimilation)

With Jiayeci’s strength increased, she and Sadako—two classic Evil Ghosts—wreaked havoc, leaving nothing unscathed. It was truly exhilarating.

”Ding... Killing an Evil Ghost, you’ve gained 5,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Killing an Evil Ghost, you’ve gained 5,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Evil Ghost dropped a Soul Stabilizing Pill, which has been stored in the inventory.”

Chu Hao quickly opened his inventory.

Soul Stabilizing Pill: Suppresses the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, prevents the soul from leaving the body, and stops Netherworld Soldiers from taking them.

It didn’t seem particularly useful. He continued to clear the path.

”Ding... Killing an Evil Ghost, you’ve gained 5,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Killing an Evil Ghost, you’ve gained 5,000 Experience Points.”

More and more Evil Ghosts were killed, and Chu Hao’s Experience Points soared rapidly. Finally, he leveled up.

”Ding... Congratulations to the Host on reaching Level 7.”

”Ding... The Host has consecutively killed 20 Evil Ghosts, achieving a Deterrence effect against Ghosts, and receives 50 Pretentiousness Points.”
