Ghost Catching System

The next day, Chu Hao didn’t return to Anli City but instead stopped in a county town, where he checked into a hotel using his ID card. After resting for a while, he turned on his phone and saw the news.

”The Battle of Yin-Yang People: Still Human?”

”A Pioneering Yin-Yang Person.”

”New Rules for Yin-Yang People: Is Killing Legal Now?”

Various news headlines appeared. Chu Hao’s video from Beacon Tower Mountain had gone viral overnight, creating a nationwide sensation.

In truth, people’s understanding of Yin-Yang People was quite vague. However, after watching the video, they were all stunned, even terrified. If Yin-Yang People could be this powerful, then what about ghosts and demons? What on earth was happening to this world?

News about Chu Hao was everywhere. Some condemned him for killing, while others argued that since both parties had signed a life-or-death waiver, the killing was justified. This topic ignited heated public debate. When the video spread abroad, it instantly topped trending lists, with many TV stations reporting on it. A Western leader invited Chu Hao to their country, offering him citizenship and anything he desired. This invitation also caused a global sensation.

For a time, Yin-Yang People became the hottest topic again. Information about some elders from Longhu Mountain, reportedly over 170 years old and seemingly inhuman, was also unearthed. Of course, Chu Hao was mentioned most frequently in the news, with some calling him the strongest Yin-Yang Person.

Staying in his hotel, Chu Hao saw this very news being broadcast on a massive screen on a skyscraper in the city. People were abuzz with discussion.

”Chu Hao, the strongest Yin-Yang Person? Really? Then what does that make Wang Zheng?”

”Isn’t Chu Hao Yi Qinglian’s boyfriend? How did he become a Yin-Yang Person?”

”This scene could rival a sci-fi blockbuster!”

”So terrifying! This is the true power of a Yin-Yang Person.”

Chu Hao became famous overnight, with countless people talking about him. Though, naturally, some immediately came forward to slander him.

On Weibo, someone posted: ”Chu Hao, you vile and despicable scoundrel! After killing so many, your conscience will condemn you.”

”Chu Hao killed our Zhongnan Mountain people! This is a blood feud; we will not rest until he is dead!”

”The Yin and Yang Realm has issued a wanted notice for Chu Hao: a handsome reward for whoever takes his head!”

In no time, news of Chu Hao’s killings flooded the internet. People were in disbelief until they saw some photos, which almost scared them to death. The consensus was: Chu Hao was too brutal.

Initially, Chu Hao had been quite pleased with his newfound fame. But seeing people call him cruel, despicable, and shameless, a wave of nausea washed over him. Someone’s trying to stir things up again, he thought.

Of course, some spoke in Chu Hao’s defense. A familiar ID, Yi Qinglian’s Weibo, posted: ”I believe Chu Hao would not kill the innocent. Do you really choose to believe that someone who saved 300,000 lives is a despicable and shameless murderer?”

Yi Qinglian’s words caused a sensation.

Saving 300,000 people... Wasn’t that the zombie poison incident? Countless people were dumbfounded. Could Chu Hao really have done it?

Even those who had been slandering Chu Hao were now bewildered. Chu Hao had saved 300,000 lives? What kind of joke was this?

A person from Qingcheng Mountain commented: ”Impossible. If Chu Hao had resolved the zombie poison issue, why wouldn’t he have said so?”

Yi Qinglian retorted: ”Do you know Chu Hao that well?”

Another person scoffed: ”Hmph, a murderer is a murderer. What proof is there that he’s the one who resolved the zombie poison issue?”

Countless people were following Yi Qinglian’s Weibo.

At this point, some couldn’t hold back any longer. Someone spoke up: ”I can testify that Chu Hao is the one who cured the zombie poison. If you want to talk about shamelessness, it’s actually the Taoists. When such a major incident occurred in the Human World, and so many were harmed by the zombie poison, the Taoists were nowhere to be seen, always prattling on about compassion. You’re the real hypocrites!”

Li Yin also posted on Weibo: ”You Taoists, have you no shame? When 300,000 people were facing death, where were you? Besides, Zhang Lingfeng started this provocation. Doesn’t Taoism just want the Emperor’s Yellow Seal and the True Word Brush? You’re the truly shameless ones! They deserved to die!”

Chu Hao’s friends all spoke up for him, denouncing the Taoists.

The public was now thoroughly confused. Who should they believe? Actually, when you thought about it, Chu Hao wasn’t really in the wrong. Others had provoked him. In that video, both parties had even signed a life-or-death waiver. After people were killed, it was the Longhu Mountain contingent who broke the rules and ganged up on Chu Hao.

A netizen commented: ”I feel Chu Hao’s side has a more convincing argument.”

”If it’s officially confirmed that Chu Hao was the unsung hero who resolved the zombie poison issue, then I’ll believe him.”

”I also get the feeling the Taoists are after those two items. There’s a conspiracy here.”

Public opinion began to shift. Those who had been trying to sway it grew anxious and interjected: ”Chu Hao killed hundreds on Beacon Tower Mountain, and that’s a fact!”

Both sides were arguing heatedly, with countless celebrities and experts weighing in on the matter.

At this time, the Seventh District officially released a news update, revealing that Chu Hao was indeed the hero who had solved the zombie poison issue and had wished to remain anonymous. The announcement from Seventh District’s official Weibo stated, ”It is true that over 100 people died on Beacon Tower Mountain, and it is also a fact that these individuals were pursuing Chu Hao at the time. However, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that Chu Hao killed them.”

Everyone was shocked. Chu Hao was actually the one who solved the zombie poison crisis, single-handedly saving 300,000 people!

As soon as this news broke, someone immediately commented: ”I believe Chu Hao. Even if he killed people, I still believe him. The ones who chased him clearly saw he was weakened and wanted to rob him. Was he supposed to just let himself be hunted down and killed? Can’t he fight back? What kind of twisted logic is that?”

”I believe Chu Hao too.”

Countless people who had suffered from the zombie poison stood up to speak for Chu Hao.

For a while, even the Taoists fell silent.

The tables had turned so quickly. Countless people instantly sided with Chu Hao; after all, saving 300,000 lives was an undeniable fact.

Chu Hao felt much better. He turned off his phone and prepared to leave the hotel.

Suddenly, the temperature in the room plummeted, and a chilling aura swept in. A terrifying ghostly face appeared on the ceiling of the suite. It was a Female Ghost, her hair disheveled and her face smeared with blood, her eyes staring fixedly at him.

CRACKLE!

The temperature dropped again. Ice began to form in the suite. The wardrobe, table, and TV were all covered in a layer of frost that crept towards Chu Hao.

He felt a bone-chilling cold. This female Fierce Ghost was definitely no ordinary entity.

Chu Hao stood up, kicked the hotel window, and jumped out. This was the seventh floor, not too high for him. He landed on the street and looked back at the floor he’d been on.

That wasn’t a wild ghost; it was a Fierce Ghost raised by someone. His enemies had come prepared; his pursuers were already here.

Chu Hao turned and saw a person standing outside the hotel entrance, wearing a black cloak. Their Yang Qi was extremely low, making them resemble a walking corpse. The figure wore sunglasses and had a tattoo on their face—it was actually a Ghost Curse Pattern, closely related to the female Fierce Ghost on the floor above.

The man grinned at Chu Hao and said, ”Found you.”

Chu Hao responded indifferently, ”Who are you?”
