Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao said this with utter confidence, his shamelessness knowing no bounds, like someone haggling aggressively in a vegetable market.

Luo Yan said, ”First, you have two girlfriends.”

Luo Yan continued, ”Second, I don’t want to let you down.”

Luo Yan added, ”Third, Chan’er and I are good BFFs.”

”Help me solve my body’s problem, and we can consider deepening our relationship,” Chu Hao said, his face impassive, his heart steady.

Luo Yan’s eyes were flirtatious, sparkling like a string of crystals, as she said earnestly, ”Do you really want to solve your problem?”

Chu Hao nodded seriously. ”What era are we in? I still haven’t truly experienced the joy of life.”

Luo Yan rolled her eyes. She thought for a moment and realized it did indeed match Chu Hao’s character. She laughed and said, ”Do you remember when my mom drugged you?”

Of course, I remember. The memory is so vivid; it nearly led to a disaster.

Chu Hao was startled. ”What are you planning?”

Luo Yan said seriously, ”As Chan’er’s good BFF, and with you being the boyfriend of two girls, plus the underage Yun’er, doing... that... with you feels a bit awkward. Why don’t you give me the drug to take instead? I’ll feel better about it.”

Chu Hao was utterly shocked.

What kind of crazy logic is this?

Chu Hao felt a little scared. ”You... you’re not joking, are you?”

Luo Yan shrugged. ”Actually, by helping you with your issue, I can enjoy myself too. Why not?”

Chu Hao practically fell to his knees. That’s Luo Yan for you! Only she could dream up such outlandish logic!

Chu Hao’s mouth twitched. ”You’re scaring me a little.”

How could he not be scared?

This woman was simply too fierce!

Luo Yan stretched out her hand. ”The drug. I’m in a good mood today. Otherwise, I might change my mind.”

Chu Hao scrambled to his feet and dashed off. ”Wait for me!”

Chu Hao remembered stashing the drug in his room at the Sanqing Pavilion. When he got there and searched under his bed, he was horrified to find the entire packet gone. In its place, a nest of rats had taken over the space under his bed.

Damn it all...

Chu Hao was livid. He cursed, ”Damn you all to hell! How dare you steal Brother Hao’s precious divine medicine!”

Not only had the rats eaten the drug, but they had also turned his room into their breeding den.

A very large rat, nearly half a meter long and almost like a spirit beast, lunged at Chu Hao when it saw him menacing its young.

Chu Hao grabbed the large rat and slammed it hard onto the ground, furious at its audacity to sneak-attack him.

The rat let out a series of loud SQUEAKS, and a voice transmitted, ”Stop hitting me!”

Chu Hao was taken aback. He stared at the rat. ”Are you the one talking?”

The rat seemed resigned as it transmitted its thoughts into Chu Hao’s mind, ”I am the esteemed Rat Immortal. Human, you would do well to release me. This great immortal can bring you endless wealth.”

Chu Hao’s expression darkened. Rats evolving into spirits and calling themselves immortals these days?

Chu Hao asked coldly, ”Was it you who ate the drug I put under the bed?”

The rat replied with relish, ”TSK TSK... that drug really packed a punch! After taking it, I, this great immortal, became as vigorous as a dragon. Countless female rats have submitted to my charms.”

Feeling disgusted, Chu Hao hoisted the oversized rat up and gave it a sound thrashing. The Rat Immortal was finally terrified.

”Stop hitting me! I was wrong! We’ve been neighbors for so long, can’t you show a little mercy?” the big rat pleaded aggrievedly.

Chu Hao’s face was grim. ”Who’s your neighbor? How dare you steal my drug!”

After another round of whipping, Chu Hao even considered burning the rat’s... well, you know. The big rat was thoroughly terrified, never expecting its ”neighbor” to be so formidable.

Chu Hao asked curiously, ”Were you just an ordinary rat before this?”

The big rat nodded repeatedly. ”Yes, I always lived in the sewers. After eating your drug, I underwent some changes. I awakened my consciousness, gained the ability to speak human language, and even acquired some minor divine abilities.”

Chu Hao was intrigued. ”What kind of abilities do you have?”

The big rat replied smugly, ”This great immortal is incredibly fertile. Since my intellect awakened, my descendants already number in the tens of millions.”

Chu Hao delivered another lashing, then took out his lighter, threatening to burn the rat’s prized asset.

”Don’t burn it! Great master, spare my life!”

The big rat surrendered, utterly terrified. ”I can also enter people’s dreams! Please, stop hitting me!”

Chu Hao was astonished. The spiritual revival in the Human World had turned an ordinary city rat into a rat spirit. This was just the beginning; who knew what further changes would occur over time?

Chu Hao looked at the big rat. It hadn’t harmed anyone; otherwise, he would have immediately sensed a murderous aura about it.

”If you show up again, I’ll skin you alive,” Chu Hao warned.

The big rat nodded vigorously.

Without the drug, Chu Hao sent another WeChat message to his usual supplier, only to receive the reply: ”Err, I’m not in that line of work anymore. Don’t message me again; my wife might see it. That’s all.”

Chu Hao could only look to the heavens in speechless despair. Even money is useless sometimes, he thought.

Luo Yan sent a message: ”I’m heading to Longxi City. It’s been a while since I saw Mom. I’m going to see what kind of mess you’ve made of her.”

Chu Hao quickly replied, ”Please, dear lady, don’t!”

Luo Yan responded, ”What’s missed is missed. I thought it over, and it doesn’t feel right. Let’s just pretend it never happened.”

”I think there’s still room for a more tactful approach,” Chu Hao replied.

Luo Yan retorted, ”TSK... When you actually become a man, I might consider it.”

Such a tease.

Chu Hao heaved a deep sigh and sent another message: ”There’s a copy of the Advanced Marrow Cleansing Manual in your car. Be careful when you’re out; the world isn’t a peaceful place.”

”Thank you.”

The incident at Beacon Tower Mountain was soon overshadowed by other news.

Ever since Chu Hao had started a wave of heroism, some people had grown restless. In this terrifying new era, one had to seize opportunities to make a name for oneself.

There were news reports that someone had dealt with the Yin and Yang Ghosts in a certain county, saving tens of thousands of panicked people and shocking the world.

The Yin and Yang Ghosts, rated nine stars for terror, were rumored to be a male and female Fierce Ghost duo capable of deranging a person’s mind, leading to mass suicides.

It was estimated that the Yin and Yang Ghosts had already harmed over ten thousand people.

The person who had resolved this crisis was named Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng, a new-generation Yin Yang Great Master, was rumored to be as powerful as Chu Hao. Since the onset of the terrifying era, he had traveled extensively, saving many lives. He was a hero admired by countless people and had even been titled a Ten-star Yin-Yang Master.

Besides Wang Zheng, others had also begun to take action.

In one village, a monster that preyed on infants appeared—a blind spirit cat. This spirit cat moved like a phantom, and any infant in its vicinity was sure to be stolen and eaten. It had a terror rating of eight stars and was eventually dealt with.

This brought immense relief to countless people, who sang the praises of this Yin-Yang Person.

This Yin-Yang Person was also identified by the media: his name was Qing Xuanzi, a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain, and an Eight-star Yin-Yang Person.

More and more people were stepping up, and news of terrifying supernatural incidents being resolved frequently appeared.

Additionally, there were touching reports of individuals who fought demons, resulting in mutual destruction. Though the person ultimately died, they had saved many lives in the process.

Countless people were moved by such heroism.

The country awarded this Yin-Yang Person a hero’s medal and granted his family a substantial compensation of one hundred million RMB.

This brought some measure of comfort to the populace.

Huaxia Country was also actively encouraging Yin-Yang Persons to help combat the disasters plaguing the Human World.
