Ghost Catching System

”Can’t believe I’m being scorned by this unruly little girl.” Chu Hao waved his hand, and Zhang Fei appeared, glaring viciously at the young girl.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”Little girl, do you know who I am?”

However, Zi Jing pouted and replied indifferently, ”Big brother, do you know who I am?”

Chu Hao’s anger instantly vanished; this little girl was truly adorable.

What the hell am I thinking? The toad needs its master now.

Chu Hao said seriously, ”Release the toad, and I’ll let you go.”

Zi Jing shook her head. ”Zi Jing means what she says. When I say he will be burned, he will be burned.”

Chu Hao glared and threatened, ”Little girl, if you don’t let it go, I’ll spank you!”

There was no other way; he really couldn’t find better words. She was such a small girl, and so darn cute, he found it hard to bring himself to hit her.

Zi Jing’s mouth curved slightly upward, her disdainful expression all too vivid. She pulled out a smaller gourd from her pocket and caressed it. ”Treasure Gourd, blow some wind.”

Chu Hao was at a loss. What was this little girl up to? How could this gourd affect me? Unless it’s the one behind you.

Then, the little gourd blew out a gust of wind. This was no ordinary wind but an extremely powerful storm that cracked the house open and shattered the window glass in the next second.

What the hell? This is called ’blowing some wind’?

Zhang Fei braced himself with both arms, standing firm, but was still instantly blown away.

Chu Hao was startled. He took out the Ritian Stick and smashed it into the ground, trying to block the fierce wind by releasing his True Qi.

The surrounding walls cracked and, with a BOOM, they collapsed. He couldn’t resist and was blown away, disappearing into the night sky.

”TEE-HEE.” Zi Jing chuckled softly, put away the little gourd, and walked off.

Chu Hao was blown into the academy’s lake. He swam to shore, gasping for air.

He was a complete mess. Just who on earth was that little girl!

One thing was certain: the little girl was definitely human, but her methods were far too powerful.

The two gourds, one large and one small, were just like treasures.

Poor toad. It’s not that I won’t help you, but there was no way. If we both got captured, we’d be in big trouble.

Chu Hao called Li Yin, asking him to book a hotel room for him, as there was no way he could go back to the dormitory now.

「The next day」

The news spread that one of the men’s dormitory buildings had collapsed. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but all the beds and belongings inside were gone.

The school approached Chu Hao and his three roommates, but they all claimed ignorance, saying everything had been normal when they returned after their all-nighter.

The school couldn’t find the cause and was hesitant to blame the four of them. No one had heard any hammering late at night. Besides, it wasn’t just the walls that were destroyed; even their luggage was gone. Pinning it all on the four of them seemed excessive.

They were moved to a different dorm. Li Yin and the other two sat perplexed. Li Yin asked, ”What happened?”

Chu Hao took out thirty thousand yuan and gave it to Feng Gao and the other roommate. ”About yesterday’s losses, is this thirty thousand enough compensation?”

Feng Gao and the other guy didn’t hold back. They had lost their suitcases. While the clothes inside weren’t valuable, their recently purchased computers were also gone and would need to be replaced.

Chu Hao explained, ”I ran into a very tough little kid, and she nearly got me.”

Li Yin asked, ”How young?”

Chu Hao couldn’t maintain his composure and decided not to discuss it further. The toad, however, was out of luck, taken by that little girl. Who knew what she would do to it.

Lin Wan arrived. Having heard that Chu Hao’s dormitory building had issues, she came to see if he was okay.

He was fine. She just said, ”Thank you for last night,” and then left.

Lin Wan’s feelings were complicated. She had witnessed Chu Hao’s incredible agility with her own eyes—he was just like Flash. Was he even human?

She had to admit she was attracted to him at that moment. His face dominated her thoughts. This man was definitely not ordinary and possessed a powerful charm.

「Two days passed」

The toad still hadn’t returned. Could it really have been burned to death?

Because of this, Chu Hao called Zhao Gousheng. After all, as a high-ranking member of Tiger Soul in the Imperial Capital, it was impossible for him not to know about such an impressive little girl.

But when he asked, even Zhao Gousheng had no clue, stating he had never encountered such an impressive little girl and promised to inform Chu Hao if he ever met Zi Jing.

Chu Hao gave up. Knowing the toad’s resilience, even if it had been burned or boiled, it should still be alive and well, right?

「Unexpectedly that day」

Instead of the toad returning, the White-eyed Ghost, Xiao Bai, found Chu Hao.

Xiao Bai came in the evening, her face filled with melancholy. ”My home is gone,” she said.

Chu Hao was taken aback and followed her to the building, only to discover that the ghostly portal had indeed disappeared.

Chu Hao’s scalp tingled. Could that ghostly portal really have embedded itself in his eyes?

As expected, when Xiao Bai entered the otherworldly dimension, she found the ghostly portal—inside Chu Hao’s eyes.

Chu Hao was shocked. ”What on earth is going on?” he asked.

Xiao Bai stared at Chu Hao, her face filled with melancholy, resembling a little girl whose home had been taken by a villain.

Following Xiao Bai into the otherworldly space, Chu Hao found the ghostly portal right beside him, an incredibly eerie situation.

Chu Hao inhaled sharply. The ghostly portal had parasitized him! No matter where he went, he would carry it with him. It was invisible to ordinary people unless they entered the dimensional space.

Chu Hao asked, ”System, what’s the origin of this ghostly portal? Is there any item that can explain it?”

The System replied, ”It is recommended that the Host purchases the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Marvelous Book, requiring one hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao’s face darkened immediately. What Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Marvelous Book? It needed one hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points! That’s as expensive as Xuan Yuan’s Divine Sword! Are you trying to rob me?

Xiao Bai had moved into Chu Hao’s eyes. It sounded bizarre, but it was true.

「A week later」

The toad still hadn’t returned; its chances of survival seemed slim.

In the girls’ dormitory, personal items stopped going missing, so the issue was seemingly resolved. This made Chu Hao appear very reliable in the eyes of the female students at the academy.

During that week, many people on the internet were still berating Chu Hao. All sorts of news reports and attempts to dig up information surfaced. Some claimed he was the son of a wealthy individual, while others said he was the child of a military bigwig.

Of course, apart from the news about Chu Hao, some particularly peculiar news also began to emerge.

News reports emerged about someone who could see ghosts. Most people asserted that this person must be crazy.

And yet, it wasn’t just one person who could see ghosts. Suddenly, a whole group of people could see them. Most were young children, with only a few adults among them.

No sooner had these individuals appeared than they vanished, with some witnesses claiming they had been taken away by unknown people.

Such news appeared in provinces throughout the country, occurring almost everywhere.

However, someone around Chu Hao also emerged claiming to see ghosts—a classmate. This classmate wore glasses, had a scholarly appearance, and didn’t seem like someone from the Yin and Yang Realm.

He claimed he could see ghosts. Three days later, people came looking for him.

A Taoist priest approached him and asked if he would like to join Mao Mountain’s Taoism.
