Ghost Catching System

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Corpse-Wrapped Monster_1

Chu Hao somewhat understood now. The bulge in the Flirty Female Ghost’s belly, according to the records in the Heavenly Ghost Sutra, was the unmistakable mark of a Ghost Demon Fetus. ”Abdomen like one pregnant, yet gives no birth throughout the year; some even for two or three years do not deliver—this is a Ghost Fetus.”But this was an even more terrifying Ghost Demon Fetus. When a ghost and a human copulated and conceived, the resulting being—part ghost, part human—was called a Ghost Demon Fetus.

The other Female Ghosts were startled and fled the middle-aged uncle’s body, phasing through the walls.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Hao summoned Jiayeci and Chu Beauty.

”Chase them. I’ll follow shortly.”

”Yes, Master.”

The three Female Ghosts took off in pursuit.

Just then, the middle-aged uncle came to his senses. Seeing Chu Hao standing before him, he hurriedly pulled on his pants and asked in fear, ”Little Chu, what happened to me?”

Chu Hao said, ”A Female Ghost came. I’m going after her. Uncle, you protect Ke Ke.”

The middle-aged uncle was shocked. His eyes reddened as he rushed into Ke Ke’s room.

Another Female Ghost, severely injured by Sadako, lay on the floor, unable to move.

Chu Hao coldly demanded, ”Speak! Why did you do this?”

Unexpectedly, the Female Ghost grinned maliciously. ”The Wangui Demon Fetus is about to be complete! Anli City is done for! HAHA...”

”Your sister, my ass!”

Chu Hao slapped her hard across the face. Her features twisted as she let out a piercing scream, glaring venomously at him.

Chu Hao had no patience for her. Because he possessed the Ghost-Seeing Ring, which allowed him to touch a Ghost’s physical body, he kicked out at her.

”A mere captive, and you dare to be arrogant? This Taoist Master has countless ways to torture you through lifetime after lifetime, making you wish for death yet never find release in oblivion! Will you submit or not?”

”DING! Host has successfully postured, gaining 10 Pretentiousness Points.”

The Flirty Female Ghost was terrified. Though she had seemed defiant before, she now fell to her knees, begging for mercy and crying out, ”Taoist Master, spare my life! Taoist Master, spare my life!”

Chu Hao huffed, ”If you don’t want to suffer eternal damnation, lead me to the other Ghosts.”

”Okay.”

Chu Hao shouted, ”Uncle, quickly, drive me there!”

The target was in the outskirts, and they had to get there urgently. The Wangui Demon Fetus was clearly no ordinary thing, which made sense for a B-level Mission.

Chu Hao felt as though he could see vast amounts of Experience Points beckoning to him once more.

In the car, the middle-aged uncle asked, ”Little Chu, what’s wrong with Ke Ke? I can’t even wake her by shouting. She isn’t in trouble, is she?”

Chu Hao winced. How should he explain this? Should he tell him that Ke Ke was possessed by a Flirtatious Ghost, and then she... did *that* to me? Forget it. If he said that, the uncle might actually try to kill him.

Chu Hao calmly said, ”She’s just tired. I’ve placed an Evil-Warding Jade Pendant on her. She’ll be fine.”

The middle-aged uncle’s instincts told him there was definitely more to the story, but it wasn’t a good time to ask, so he just drove furiously onward.

”Speak! Why are you cultivating a Ghost Demon Fetus?” Chu Hao interrogated the Flirty Ghost.

The Flirty Female Ghost was clearly frightened of Chu Hao and stammered, ”It’s not our fault! We never killed anyone! It was the ’Adults’ who ordered us to do this.”

The middle-aged uncle was confused. ”Little Chu, what’s going on here?”

Chu Hao told him the truth.

The middle-aged uncle shivered, his voice filled with disbelief. ”You mean... these Flirty Female Ghosts slept with me just to get pregnant?”

”That’s right.”

”HOLY SHIT!!”

The middle-aged uncle looked like he was about to break down. He asked the Flirty Female Ghost, ”How many Ghost Demon offspring do I have?”

The Flirty Female Ghost replied, ”Over the years... more than three hundred.”

The middle-aged uncle’s mind reeled. Anyone learning this would find it hard to accept.

Over three hundred... and they’re all my seed? They’re using me as a stud bull!

Chu Hao was also stunned.

”Uncle, you’re way too potent! Over three hundred Ghost Demon Fetuses... and they’re all yours?” Chu Hao exclaimed in shock.

More than three hundred Ghost Demon Fetuses, all his own seed... Just thinking about it was enough to make the uncle crumble.

By now, it was three in the morning. The outskirts were silent, with no trace of human activity.

At a mountain in the suburbs, Chu Hao said, ”Stop here, Uncle. You wait for me in the car.”

”Okay, okay.” The middle-aged uncle was visibly relieved; he didn’t dare go any further.

Chu Hao sprinted onward.

Finally, he spotted a cave brimming with yin energy, a red light flickering from within.

”It’s there,” the Flirty Female Ghost said, pointing at the cave.

Chu Hao didn’t need the Flirty Female Ghost to tell him; he saw it himself. Sadako was floating out from the cave, seemingly injured.

”Master, Jiayeci and Chu Beauty are trapped inside,” Sadako said weakly.

Chu Hao frowned. ”What’s the situation inside?”

Sadako explained, ”Inside, there’s a huge, fleshy mass. The cries, laughter, and shrieks of countless children echo as they devour each other. There’s also a Red-clothed Female Ghost. She’s very powerful.”

Damn it! Isn’t that extremely dangerous?

However, for the sake of Experience Points, he had to venture in. Besides, with the Golden Bell Pendant, who could hurt him?

Just as he was about to enter, the mountain cracked open. The slope beneath revealed a blood-red glow. A terrifying yin wind swept through, dark clouds gathered densely, and from the depths came the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves.

System Notification: ”B-level Mission upgraded to A-level.”

Shit! An A-level Mission?

A bloodied hand crawled out from a crevice in the mountain. The creature it belonged to threw back its head and let out a long howl towards the sky.

This thing was formidable, definitely more so than the Nine Infant Ghosts. While the Nine Infant Ghosts were just taking form and eager to grow, this creature seemed to have already fully matured.

He watched as the figure crawled out and sprinted into the distance.

That direction! Was it Anli City?

Chu Hao broke out in a cold sweat. Letting this ghostly entity into the city was unthinkable! Who knew what might happen? It wasn’t an ordinary Ghost; it was something between a Ghost and a Demon.

Chu Hao summoned Diao Chan. ”Baby Diao Chan, can you deal with that thing?”

”This servant will try,” Diao Chan replied, her expression solemn as she flew towards the creature.

Chu Hao hurriedly called out, ”If you can’t beat it, come back quickly!” f|re(e)web.n\ovel. (c)o.m

Meanwhile, he ran towards the cave, as Jiayeci and Chu Beauty were still trapped inside.

Upon entering the cave, a wave of chilling, evil energy washed over him.

SPLOOSH! Chu Hao’s gaze fixed ahead as a torrent of blood rushed towards him.

Chu Hao was startled. Why was blood suddenly gushing from the cave entrance? Fortunately, thanks to the Heavenly Ghost Sutra and the Mao Mountain Taoist Ghost Hunting Record, he immediately realized it was an illusion.

”System, buy an Illusion-Breaking Talisman.”

”DING! Host has purchased an Illusion-Breaking Talisman, consuming 10 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Three Pure Ones, Daoist Ancestors, manifest your divine power! Between illusion and reality, let the unreal be true, let the true be revealed—Illusion, break!”

The power of the System-issued Illusion-Breaking Talisman was undeniable—a top-quality product, guaranteed.

He saw a massive, masculine fist of pure Yang energy emerge from the Illusion-Breaking Talisman and smash hard into the Void.

CRACK! The space all around shattered like a broken mirror.

Chu Hao himself was dumbfounded. This is absolutely incredible!

Sure enough, the river of blood within the deep cave vanished. A Ghost was revealed, its body dripping wet, blood seeping from it onto the ground.

A Corpse-Wrapped Monster! Chu Hao recognized it instantly. In ancient times, unfaithful women were wrapped in white cloth, coated in wax, and thrown into rivers to become such creatures. It was said that the most powerful Corpse-Wrapped Monsters were found in the Yellow River of Huaxia; those were the truly terrifying ones. Clearly, this Corpse-Wrapped Monster’s cultivation level hadn’t reached the standard of those from the Yellow River.

”Evil creature, taste my sword!”

Chu Hao thrust his sword forward, and the Corpse-Wrapped Monster raised an arm to block.
