Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao said, ”Wang Ku, take a good look at who this deity is!”

As he spoke, Chu Hao removed his ghost mask to reveal a refined, handsome face; not the explosively handsome type, but rather one beaming with a sunshiny radiance, though his smile... was a somewhat roguish smirk.

Chu Hao grinned, exposing his gleaming white teeth, and looked triumphantly at Wang Ku and the others.

Indeed, Wang Ku was thunderstruck, rooted to the spot. It was as if the sky had fallen, like the end of the world, leaving him unable to accept it for a moment.

”Chu... Chu Hao!!”

Wang Ku screamed, trembling all over, his hair standing on end, and collapsed onto the ground, pointing a speechless finger at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao laughed heartily; taking off the mask felt awesome.

The others, upon hearing Wang Ku call out Chu Hao’s name, were all dumbstruck.

Although the people from the righteous and unorthodox paths of Longxi City had never seen Chu Hao in person, his fame had already spread throughout their circle. He was renowned for wielding the True Word Brush, a fact known to all.

However, this divine envoy from the Underworld turned out to be Chu Hao!

Chu Hao spread his arms wide, flaunting his arrogance, and said, ”That’s right! I’m Chu Hao! Anyone got a problem with that? Brother Hao will send them on their way to divinity.”

”Ding... Host has executed a Scary Show Off, earning 500 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Ding... Host has executed a Shocking Show Off, earning 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

At this moment, Chu Hao seemed like a devil incarnate; he had hidden his true self so deeply, deceiving everyone.

Those who knew the truth shed tears, fear in their hearts reaching an extreme.

Do you really have to be so damn impressive! To think that you’ve fooled everyone so thoroughly, even fooling them into becoming gods? The worst part is, all those old-timers believed it, hoping for divinity. This man wasn’t human anymore; he was the grand devil of deception.

Wang Qi’s ”Master,” the old man, was also stunned speechless, his eyes bulging wider than an ox’s, his heart almost leaping into his throat.

Wang Ku screamed, his face deathly pale. He had seen too many supernatural events and had grown accustomed to them, but the moment Chu Hao appeared, he finally understood what true terror was, what true despair was.

Urine streamed down his legs; he was so scared he’d wet himself!

Chu Hao walked over, grabbed Wang Ku by the neck, lifted him up, and said coldly, ”You want to run? Go ahead, show me you can run.”

Wang Ku gasped for air, the grip on his neck too strong, terror reaching its peak. He had planned to go into seclusion for a while after narrowly escaping last time. Who would have thought it had only been a few days? He had just come out and already encountered Devil Chu; he felt like he was going to lose his mind.

Wang Ku struggled to breathe, begging in horror, ”Don’t... don’t kill me, please.”

Chu Hao dealt him several hard slaps, dazing Wang Ku to the point where stars filled his vision, then threw him to the ground, leaving him unable to even crawl.

As for the others, they had been scared senseless long ago and were trying to flee.

THUD! THUD! Several people flew in from outside. They then saw a beautiful girl holding the Jade Maiden Sword, standing guard at the entrance. Who else could it be but Diao Chan?

The old woman who had fought with Ma Yi exclaimed, ”What... what do you want?”

Terrifying. This person was terrifying to the extreme, the absolute nemesis of the Ghost Dao Sect.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”You guys from the Ghost Dao Sect really have some nerve! Trying to ambush me, did you really think Master Chu Tian was so easy to bully?”

The old woman, exuding ghostly Qi, was now the only capable one left, yet she too was frightened to the point her knees went weak.

Are you kidding? Although Chu Hao hadn’t really made a move, it was clear that he was stronger than anyone else. And them? They just had more numbers. Their strongest members had ”become gods.” What could they possibly use to fight against Chu Hao?

”Taoist Master, spare our lives!”

Some were so frightened they didn’t dare to resist, simply kneeling and kowtowing to Chu Hao.

Should he kill them? Chu Hao wasn’t a homicidal maniac. These people had blood on their hands. Locking them in prison would be enough for a death sentence, or at least a life sentence.

Then, someone stood up and said ecstatically, ”You... You’re Master Chu Tian! I’m from the Seventh District.”

Chu Hao glanced at the man and asked, ”What’s your name?”

”Taoist Master, my name is Shi Bowen, and this is my Seventh District work badge.”

Chu Hao took a look and said, ”Alright! Call the Seventh District and have them come take all these people away.”

Shi Bowen was thrilled. He could never have imagined that this Hell God was actually Chu Hao. He had heard of Chu Hao’s deeds, which were legendary throughout Anli City.

Meeting the man in person was even more incredible; he had single-handedly captured an entire den of criminals—it was simply too impressive.

Soon, a group from the Seventh District arrived, and even the military showed up. Several trucks full of soldiers surrounded the villa, ensuring no one escaped.

As for the wealthy individuals, they were all scared witless. Their past misdeeds would now face judgment.

This was karma in action: good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. No one present would get off easily—they would spend the rest of their lives in prison.

”Ding... Host has eliminated an evil force in the Yang Realm, contributing a good deed to society and completing a C-level good deed, receiving 50,000 Merit Points.”

Damn!!

Chu Hao was excited and quickly asked, ”System, can doing good deeds earn Merit Points? Why didn’t Brother Hao get any before?”

The System replied, ”The level of the good deeds was too low to grant Merit Points. The eradication of this evil force met the C-level standard for good deeds.”

So that was it. The System indeed had many hidden features, waiting to be slowly uncovered. Fifty thousand Merit Points could be exchanged for 5,000 Pretentiousness Points—this was a huge profit.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but wonder, how many Merit Points would he get if he wiped out the entire Ghost Dao Sect?

”Sigh! I’m just too invincible,” Chu Hao said with a touch of narcissism.

There was also the Water Drought Fiend. Without Wang Ku’s control, it would soon recover. That was an AC-level mission he couldn’t miss.

Chu Hao said, ”System, buy an Awakening Soul Talisman.”

”Ding... Host has purchased an Awakening Soul Talisman, consuming 500 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Heaven and earth be natural, foul Qi disperse, mighty gods of all directions, let my nature manifest, awaken.”

The Water Drought Fiend lay on the ground. A girl’s soul floated out. She was dressed in ancient clothing and was beautiful enough to be considered a great beauty even in the modern world.

Princess Yu Qiuhe cried, ”Thank you, Taoist Master.”

Chu Hao sighed, ”Go and reincarnate.”

Throughout the entire process, the princess was aware of what had happened. She had been used by the Transformed Snake. Without further hesitation, she entered the Merit Gate to be reincarnated.

”Ding... Host has completed the task of saving Princess Yu Qiuhe, receiving two hundred Experience Points.”

”Ding... Host has completed the task of saving Princess Yu Qiuhe, receiving a Golden Treasure Chest.”

Lord Show-off: Chu Hao

Amazing, 85,000 Merit Points! This is just too thrilling. And I’m about to level up—something Chu Hao loved the most.

Chu Hao wiped his hands and said, ”Open the Golden Treasure Chest.”

”Ding... Golden Treasure Chest opened. Congratulations to the Host on receiving a Yin Yang Appraisal Eye.”

Item: Yin Yang Appraisal Eye

Rarity: ★★

Ability: Appraise the strength of ghosts and specters (Fusible)

This item was great, and it was even fusible. Chu Hao took out the Ghost Mask and the Yin Yang Appraisal Eye and began the fusion, eagerly anticipating what he would get.

System prompt: ”Does the Host wish to fuse the Yin Yang Appraisal Eye with the Ghost Mask? This will consume 5,000 Pretentiousness Points.”
