Ghost Catching System

Just as Chu Hao said, Brother Shen was a newcomer to the Yin and Yang Realm, but he was still quite skilled and reasonably tough.

Chu Hao walked over and picked up his oil lamp.

The System announced, ”Servant Ghost Lamp, can be exchanged for 2000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Indeed, this thing was a magic artifact of the Yin and Yang Realm. The function of the Servant Ghost Lamp was to control a person, turning them into a servant. Of course, there was a cost to this—however long you wanted to control someone, you had to offer lifespan to the Servant Ghost Lamp in return.

Chu Hao said, ”Everyone keep playing, I’ll take care of this mess.”

With Chu Hao around, his classmates were exhilarated; this was much more fun than singing and drinking.

Chu Hao walked over to where Brother Shen lay on the ground, his head covered in blood, not moving.

Chu Hao said, ”Wake him up.”

Wang Qi picked up a beer and poured it on Brother Shen’s face, his methods reminiscent of a street thug.

Groggy, Brother Shen came to and saw Chu Hao holding the oil lamp. His face filled with panic. Are these kids still students? Their methods are even more vicious than mine! I’m used to brawls, but taking repeated beer bottle hits like this? No one could withstand that.

Chu Hao said, ”Who are you?”

Brother Shen, gasping for breath, said, ”You... you’d better let me go, or you’ll all suffer horrible deaths!”

Chu Hao stroked his chin and said, ”Looks like you haven’t had enough of a beating. Continue.”

Wang Qi laughed and said, ”Alright, bring another crate of empty bottles.”

Someone ran out to fetch the beer bottles.

The sight of a whole crate of empty beer bottles made Brother Shen’s scalp tingle. He exclaimed, ”Stop... I’ll talk, is that okay?”

Chu Hao said, ”So you’ve come to your senses.”

Brother Shen let out a sigh of relief. I just need to act submissive and stall for a bit. The people in the other private room will come looking for me when they realize I haven’t returned. When that happens, I’ll deal with these little brats one by one and make them suffer!

However, Chu Hao then added, ”Still, Brother Hao really dislikes people who don’t answer decisively. Greet him with a crate of beer bottles first, then let him talk.”

”Ding... The Host has gained 900 Pretentiousness Points for his shameless natural arrogance.”

Isn’t this just bullying an honest man? How can you go back on your word like that?

BANG! Another beer bottle was smashed over Brother Shen’s head.

Wang Qi, eager to display his loyalty, followed Chu Hao’s orders without hesitation.

Brother Shen screamed in anguish, completely panicking. These kids are definitely not regular students; they’re too ruthless!

After smashing half a crate of beer bottles, Wang Qi couldn’t help but ask, ”Brother Hao, do we... keep going?”

By then, Brother Shen’s head was bleeding profusely, and the ground was littered with broken glass. If they continued, it could be lethal.

Chu Hao said, ”Mm, let him talk.”

Brother Shen, in tears, said, ”Stop smashing, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything! I’m from the Gui Yin Sect, my name is Chen Guishen.”

Chu Hao asked, ”What have you come to Anli City for?”

Weakly, Brother Shen said, ”We wanted to find the Witch that appeared on TV recently. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you, young man. Just let me go, and I’ll forget this ever happened.”

Chu Hao paused, his gaze shifting to Bai Ling, who was sitting on a sofa in the private room.

Bai Ling seemed to have drunk too much. She looked groggy as she leaned on Mu Yufei’s shoulder. It appeared she couldn’t hold her liquor, likely from drinking too much counterfeit alcohol in ancient times. Now, the potent modern liquor had her almost unconscious.

Mu Yufei was supporting her head, making Bai Ling as comfortable as possible.

Chu Hao said, ”What do you want with her?”

Seeing that Chu Hao was still asking, Brother Shen didn’t hide anything and said, ”She and our Gui Yin Sect share an extremely deep ancestral connection. We want to invite the Witch back to the Gui Yin Sect.”

So that was it.

The Gui Yin Sect really knows how to pick their moment. Coming for the Heavenly Bone Woman at this time, and saying they want to ’invite’ her back to the Gui Yin Sect? Not even a ghost would buy that! They clearly plan to use the Heavenly Bone Woman’s power to rapidly develop their sect.

Chu Hao then asked, ”How many people did you bring?”

Brother Shen didn’t know why Chu Hao was asking so many questions and replied, ”There are two others.”

Chu Hao said, ”Lead the way. To the other private room.”

Brother Shen exclaimed, ”What are you planning to do?”

Chu Hao sneered, ”You came to my place to cause trouble; don’t you think I should return the favor and have some fun at yours?”

Wang Qi, excited, said, ”Brother Hao, shall I call for some backup?”

Chu Hao waved his hand commandingly and said, ”The more, the merrier. As soon as we get in, start hitting them. Don’t hold back on my account.”

”Okay,” Wang Qi immediately went to arrange it.

Chu Hao certainly had his reasons. The Servant Ghost Lamp can be exchanged for 2000 Pretentiousness Points, and the others must have brought Magic Artifacts too. Brother Hao is going to make a big score!

”System, exchange the Servant Ghost Lamp.”

”Ding... Host has exchanged the Servant Ghost Lamp, gaining 2000 Pretentiousness Points.”

His Pretentiousness Points were now extremely close to thirty thousand. The more Pretentiousness Points, the better. The Heavenly Bone Woman could go on a killing spree at any moment, and I need to have the leverage to suppress her.

In another private room, two people from the Gui Yin Sect had been waiting for a while. When Brother Shen and Ji Qingzheng still hadn’t returned, they were about to get up and search for them.

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a group of people surged in. They were all quite young—the Shamates Wang Qi had gathered from the school.

Many people were at the school gathering today. Wang Qi was a bully at the school, so with one phone call, many people came to help. Most importantly, as soon as they heard Chu Hao was the one who called, they came without hesitation.

The man in the lead, who had long hair, shouted, ”Who the hell are you!”

Wang Qi led the charge and said, ”Beat them up.”

Too many people rushed in, surrounding the two men. They were skilled fighters, but with so many people swarming in, they were quickly overwhelmed and cornered.

Li Yin and Wang Qi, each armed with a beer bottle, started smashing them over the two men’s heads.

”You dare, you little brats!”

The two were furious, completely clueless as to what was happening. After several beer bottles connected, the men fell to the ground, curling up in pain.

With such a commotion in the private room, the KTV manager couldn’t have remained unaware. He arrived with a group of security guards, yelling, ”What are you doing?”

Without even turning his head, one of the youths arrogantly said, ”Mind your own business! Take it up with Brother Hao if you’ve got a problem.”

Such arrogance was definitely that of a street tough.

The manager’s mouth twitched. He could see they were students, and there were far too many of them tonight. The two on the floor were truly out of luck.

The manager considered calling the police, hoping no one would end up dead.

Wang Qi, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, handed over three thousand yuan and said, ”Do me a favor. These two guys are from out of town. Just pretend you didn’t see anything.”

The manager was taken aback. After taking the money, he whispered, ”Kid, don’t make this too big. It’ll be hard for us to handle. Just keep it to a reasonable level.”

The two men on the ground, hearing this, almost passed out from anger. This city is too corrupt! We massively regret only bringing three people! One of them shouted, ”Manager, you can’t just ignore this!”

Without a glance, the manager just walked away.

Wang Qi, thrilled, said, ”Guys, keep up the ’welcome’! Don’t stop with the beer bottles! Get me another two crates!”
