C4 The Haunted Apartment

The system beep sounded in Zhou Heng's head.

"Mission accomplished — Shen Xinyi's wish."

Words flashed across Zhou Heng's eyes.

"Reward: Merit + 1"

Just as he expected, Zhou Heng successfully received a bit of merit. However, Zhou Heng still didn't recover from the kiss.

"Hey, Yu Shuai is running away!" Xu Yi lightly patted Zhou Heng's face.

Zhou Heng finally came back to his senses and looked in the direction Xu Yi was pointing at. Mountain and a lackey supported Yu Shuai as they staggered away.

"Whatever." Since the mission was already completed, Zhou Heng no longer had the mood to waste on Yu Shuai.

"You're amazing!" Xu Yi said to Zhou Heng with admiration. After he finished speaking, he imitated Zhou Heng's actions when he was beating up Wu Tie, and gestured to the air twice.

"Where did you learn kung fu?" Xu Yi said excitedly, "Can you teach me?"

"No." Zhou Heng shook his head. The one who improved his physical fitness was Taoist Master System. If he could open a school to teach disciples, Zhou Heng would be rich, but unfortunately, Taoist Master System was only willing to reveal the tip of its iceberg to Zhou Heng.

Xu Yi wasn't discouraged. He surrounded Zhou Heng and said, "Then why don't you accept me as your lackey!" He mistook Zhou Heng for a new student.

However, Zhou Heng took out a piece of paper: "Take me here first, I'll think about it later."

It was a temporary apartment he had rented online.

"Linhai City and Light Zone, No. 9, Joy Road." Xu Yi read the address on the note and his expression became strange. "Brother, I heard that this place is haunted!"

"I didn't even accept you as my little brother, don't be so intimate!" Zhou Heng frowned. He didn't have any intentions of taking in his lackeys. In his line of work, bringing along an amateur was purely a burden.

"Sooner or later." Xu Yi laughed with his thick skin, "I know the way, I'll take you there!"

After saying that, Xu Yi suddenly thought of something. He looked at Bai Lu who was still standing at the side and said, "I still have to take the freshmen from our department into the academy!" And take her for a walk around the campus, hehe. When freshmen came to school without anyone to rely on in this unfamiliar environment, they were most likely tricked by upperclassmen who took the initiative to get close to them.

At this moment, several students of the Literature department came over. They pushed Xu Yi away from Liu Lu at the same time, "No need, no need. Old Xu, go busy yourself. We'll be taking on the new students!" With that, they ignored Xu Yi and surrounded Bai Lu.

"You guys aren't loyal enough!" Xu Yi cursed with his hands on his waist. Before the appearance of the dew these people were not so active.

"Then are you still going to bring me?" Zhou Heng asked. If Xu Yi didn't want to, then he had to ask someone else for directions.

"Take, take, I'll take!" Xu Yi subconsciously went to pick up Zhou Heng's luggage, but he found that Zhou Heng didn't bring anything.

Just as Shen Xinyi had said, once they reached the Linhai University, all they needed was a left turn to get to the road that led to their home.

The two of them set off from the school gate. It didn't even take them ten minutes to arrive at No. 9, Hejia Road. A small, two-story building appeared in front of them. Rent should not be so cheap for a house so close to the university and well furnished.

"Many people say that this place is haunted." Xu Yi stood at the door and didn't dare to enter. He said to Zhou Heng, "Many people want to rent cheaply, so they moved here. But after a few nights, they all moved away."

Zhou Heng stood in front of the door and closed his eyes.

"Taoist Master, system connected, please verify your identity."

When Zhou Heng opened his eyes, there was a flash of light in his iris.

"Authentication successful. Permission level E, Zhou Heng. Welcome to the Taoist Master System."

"I need to increase my Yin Yang Eye's power." Zhou Heng said in his heart.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Xu Yi saw Zhou Heng standing in front of the room in a daze. He couldn't help but feel flustered.

"Please wait, Taoist Master."

"Amplification complete." With the system's notification, Zhou Heng's pupil changed color. A black fog that shrouded the house appeared in Zhou Heng's sight.

"There really is a ghost." Zhou Heng said.

"Is there really a ghost!?" Xu Yi was shocked by Zhou Heng's sudden words.

"Go back." With that, Zhou Heng walked towards the door of the small building. As soon as his hand was on the doorknob, the door opened.

"Be careful, Big Brother!" Xu Yi did not dare to follow, but Zhou Heng did not hesitate or stop. After he walked into the room, the door closed itself with a "pa" sound. It looked like a monster had opened its mouth and swallowed Zhou Heng.

Arriving at the gloomy room, Zhou Heng's left and right eyes were glowing with a red and blue light.

"Big brother, big brother!" Xu Yi seemed to be shouting outside.

The room that lacked light source looked like a night vision goggle to Zhou Heng right now, and many things that ordinary people couldn't see were revealed in his eyes. The interior of the room was a mess. Glass bottles littered the floor, and some posters of celebrities had been pasted onto the walls, as if they were trying to hide something. Zhou Heng stepped over the junk on the ground, walked to the wall and tore down a poster. Red blood was revealed in front of his eyes.

"Trying to scare me." Zhou Heng actually laughed out loud. Covering the bloodstains with these posters actually gave off a rather overpowering smell. It was obvious that they wanted someone to tear them off their bodies.

"I won't leave," Zhou Heng kicked away the sundries on the floor, then found a bed and lied down, "You can stop trying to scare me away!"

The floor was indeed messy, but it was not dirty. It seemed like there were people cleaning it all the time. It was only when something knew that someone was going to live here that they came to disturb the place. The bed was soft and comfortable, and it seemed that the guy who lived here often knew how to enjoy himself.

Zhou Heng felt that he had taken a big advantage. He simply closed his eyes and closed the enhanced Yin Yang Eye.

Yin Yang Eye were his resident abilities, but to increase their strength was very strenuous. Originally, Zhou Heng was worried that a vicious ghost was occupying this place, so he first used the enhanced Yin Yang Eye to investigate. However, from the looks of it now, since the other party was using a method like bluffing, then he definitely wasn't a fiendish ghost.

"Hee hee." A woman's laughter suddenly came from the ceiling above Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng laid on the bed with his eyes closed. There was no reaction.

"This is the first time I've met someone as interesting as you." An elegant shadow floated down from the ceiling and landed beside Zhou Heng's bed.

Taoist Master had reminded him that there was an important mission for him to complete in Linhai City, which was why he took the train here from the outside world. Along the way, he rushed back and forth, and now that he met a comfortable bed, his body became tired.

"Why did you suddenly fall asleep!" That graceful figure seemed to be angry. She stretched out a finger and pointed at Zhou Heng's breath.

Just when her hand was about to touch Zhou Heng's body, something suddenly stopped her from moving forward.

"Aiya!" The graceful figure let out a cry.

"Humph!" Zhou Heng snorted contemptuously and sat up on the bed, with Spiritshadow's wrist in his hand. Once a part of a wandering soul's body was caught, it could no longer transform into a fog.

Red ghost.

"Are you a ghoul or an ordinary wandering soul?" Zhou Heng grabbed her hand and asked loudly. The wandering souls were like Shen Xinyi's. They couldn't interfere with the real world and still retained the consciousness from when they were alive. The wraiths were evolved from wandering souls, often losing their humanity and becoming as aggressive as wild beasts. The red-clothed ghost in front of Zhou Heng was neither gentle and harmless like a ghost nor ferocious like a ghost. It was Zhou Heng's first time encountering such a situation.

As expected, his Linhai City was not ordinary.

However, since her opponent's wrist had been grabbed by him, she could not play any tricks. It seemed that she was just an ordinary wandering soul after all.

"Whatever you say." The body of the ghost lady in red slumped down on Zhou Heng's body.

Zhou Heng was shocked by her actions. When the soft body came closer, his face turned crimson in the darkness, and the hand holding her wrist also relaxed. The ghost lady in red suddenly revealed a smile as if she had gotten away with something. Her body turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in front of Zhou Heng's eyes.

When Zhou Heng realized that he was being played by a ghost, he immediately tried to protect his body, but it was too late. A cloud of black smoke seeped into his chest. Without Zhou Heng's permission, the wandering soul could not take the initiative to possess him. The evil ghost's ability was stronger than the wandering soul's. Although it had the ability to take over the body, because its consciousness was controlled by the killing intent, it rarely plotted or plotted anything. It was obviously wrong of Zhou Heng to treat her like an ordinary wandering soul. This ghost was different from all the other ghosts he had encountered!

He was too careless!

Zhou Heng, who relied on his past experience to do things, had experienced a bitter taste in Linhai City for the first time.

"Hahaha!" The ghost girl in red laughed. "Kid, your body belongs to me!"

When Zhou Heng's consciousness was attacked, he suddenly felt confused.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" There was a knock on the door.
