<h4>Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Battle at the Haunted House (Part 1)</h4>
After we met up with Jinwoo, we made our way back to the dorms.
“Hey, Sian. Can you really see ghosts?” Jia asked me while wondering.
“Yeah.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” I repeated.
“Wow, that’s so cool. Can you see one right now?”
“Yes.”
“Really?! Where?!”
“There’s one right next to you.”
As I said that, I quickly turned andnded a dropkick on the middle-aged ghost beside her. The asshole flew away. How dare he try and touch her?
“Oh!”
“Don’t worry. He’s gone,” I assured her, patting her on the head. Jia proceeded to throw her arms around me. This will never get old.
“Hey, Sian.”
“Yeah?”
“Are you really going to go on the show? Won’t it be scary?” Jia asked, sounding scared herself.
“I’m not scared.”
It’s true. I’m not scared of ghosts. If anything, they’re probably afraid of me...or maybe not. At that moment, two other middle-aged ghosts appeared and began sneaking nces at my chest with lecherous smiles on their faces. I picked up a rock and threw it at them. Bullseye. Got them right at the head.
“Still…haunted houses are scary…”
“Don’t worry,” I said, giving Jia another stroke on the head. As I gazed into her eyes, I found myself wanting to kiss her.
‘Ugh…this sucks.’
If only I had been a man, I would kiss her…but since I’m a girl, I can’t. Of course, I’d be okay with it, but Jia would think it’s weird. And I don’t want to lose Jia.
‘Fuck you, Grim Reaper…’
I mentally cursed out the Grim Reaper in my head. His ears are probably tingling right now...or maybe they’re bleeding already.
“Then, once you’re done filming the show, let’s go visit one together,” Jia said.
“Okay,” I answered. A haunted house. There will probably be old ghosts there and some goblins. If Goblin Entertainment is trying to get to me, they would not pick a ce with ghosts that were easy to deal with.

A few days passed and soon enough, that day arrived. No, not the first day of my period. The day I was to film the Haunted Experience. I actually started my period two days ago and thanks to that, I was incredibly sensitive right now. Don’t test me.
“Get in, Sian,” Hak-gyu said, opening the door to the van.
“Is there any food?”
“I got you some chicken.”
“Half-half?”
“Nope. Seasoned only.”
“Good,” I said, getting into the car with a smile. I saw the chicken and immediately unwrapped it. My eyes fell on the whole chicken dripping in the sauce and I dug in. Nothing beats the sight of seasoned chicken…wow.
“But don’t you like fried?” Hak-gyu asked.
“Not really.”
“They’re good if you dip them in salt.”
“Eh.”
“What about soy-sauce vored?”
“Meh.”
“Weird.”
Soon, Hak-gyu was silent and I continued to eat my chicken. Personally, I love seasoned chicken. Soy-sauce chicken is good too, but there’s nothing like seasoned chicken. But after about five minutes, it was all gone.
“Hey, Hak-gyu.”
“Yeah?”
“Did you only buy one?” I asked with a pout.
“That was two.”
“Oh.”
I can’t believe that was two.

We soon arrived at the set. The rain started to fall as if to set up the mood for the show.
Pitter…patter…
The rain was pouring down not long after. The ghosts would love this.
“Hello. Sian, right?” the main producer said as he approached me.
“Hello,” I said. At the same time, I scanned him with my powers. He was human.
“Thank you so much foring. We’re going to have dinner and start filming when it gets dark. You can wait over there,” the main producer spoke, pointing at a bench in the distance. I nodded.
“Is the dinner bento?” I asked.
“No. We ordered a food truck.”
“Wow. It’s unlimited, right?”
“Of course. Have as much as you want. The food truck was paid for by Goblin Entertainment. They said that they especially prepared a lot of food for you.”
“Oh?”
Aw, they didn’t have to do that. Now I feel bad.
“Guess I have to enjoy it then.”
“Yes. Be sure to eat a lot so you have plenty of energy when we filmter.”
“Then, I’ll see youter, Sir.”
“Of course.”
After that, we parted ways as I headed towards the bench. All of a sudden, another man appeared and sat down on the bench.
“Who’s that?”
“Sihoo Jung. He’s a rookie actor from Goblin Entertainment. I heard that he’s good-looking. Guess the rumors are true,” Hak-gyu replied. He had an impressed look on his face as he stared at Sihoo. Sihoo was good-looking, but I didn’t find him attractive. Why? Because I’m a man too. Anyways, I headed for the bench but I didn’t sit next to Sihoo. Why? Because I called dibs on the bench. Can’t we sit together? No. I don’t like to sit with other guys.
“Hey. Sihoo, right?” I said to the guy. He looked up at me. A smile spread across his face.
“Yes, hi. I’m Sihoo. You must be Sian.”
The way he spoke was irritating. And this guy…he was a goblin. I could tell immediately. Seriously, how many goblins were there?
“Yes, I am Sian. But could you move?” I said.
“No,” the jerk answered back. They usually ask me why but this guy just cut straight to the chase. I could sense the cockiness radiating off of this guy.
“I already called dibs on the bench.”
“But I don’t want to move.”
“Well, well, well.”
Would you look at this jerk? If this were any other day, I wouldn’t hesitate to grab his head and aim a knee kick to his groin but…Hak-gyu was here. He might tell on me to Jinwoo and that would cause problems.
“Sian, you can just sit next to him…” Hak-gyu whispered to me.
“No,” I said firmly. Hak-gyu had an awkward look on his face at my response.
“Hey, Manager Lee.”
“Uh, yeah…?”
“Can you leave for a sec?”
“...”
“This is about my pride.”
If I were to lose to a goblin, I’d never be able to live it down. So I can’t lose. But Hak-gyu didn’t seem to get it.
“What pride? Just sit next to him, Sian. It’s not a big deal.”
“Absolutely not.”
At my stern answer, Hak-gyu sighed, and finally, he left. Now it was just me and Sihoo.
“Are you a guy? You pervert,” Sihoo spat as he eyed me.
“Yeah, I am. Trash,” I countered.
“What did you just call me?”
At that moment, horns began to form on his head. His teeth sharpened soon after as a club appeared in his left hand. Well, then.
“I called you trash.”
“You’re pretty cocky for a human!” the guy shouted as he stood up. He raised the club towards me, but then, with a big sigh, he sat back down again. The horns and teeth began to disappear after that.
“No, no. Calm down…I can’t just attack every human in front of me.”
“Sorry, but even if you wanted to, you couldn’t,” I said, swinging the club I had stolen from him.
“What did you say, human?” he spat up, looking up at me. Then, his eyes widened.
“What the? How did you get my club…” He looked down at his left and let out another cry of surprise.
“What?!”
“So this is a goblin club…it feels nice.”
I smirked at Sihoo. All of a sudden, he got up to run away, but unfortunately for him, I was faster.
Wham!
I got him in the back of the head with the club as he fell to the floor with the bench. The crash drew other people’s attention toward us. I hurriedly bent down like I was helping Sihoo and swiftly flicked him on the forehead.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
With that, he was out.
Thud.
He should’ve known better and kept his mouth shut. It’s not even like he was that great. Oh, and don’t worry. Normal humans can’t see goblin clubs. I can only see it because of my special powers.

Soon, it was dinner time. The food truck had arrived. There was plenty of food inside and the film staff all gasped in shock. But then, a few of them nced at me and seemed to understand. That bothered me a bit, to be honest. It’s like they saw me as a pig or something.
“Well, you’re here.” I heard a female voice said behind me. I knew that voice. It was Heejin, the Head Manager at Goblin Entertainment. What was she doing here?
“I came to see you.”
“Are you reading my mind?”
“I just pay attention.”
“Huh.”
Is this woman ying jokes with me?
“I prepared this truck especially for you. Do you like it?”
“I do actually,” I said as my eyes caught sight of lobster. A food truck that serves lobster. Goblins sure do operate on a different level. Then again, considering how easily they can get gold, I shouldn’t be surprised.
“That’s good that you like it.”
“But, um…”
“Yes, honey?” Heejin asked me with a smile. Calm andposed. It made her look even more frightening.
“Why did you want me on the show? You’re not going to kill me, are you?”
“Hehe.” Heejin giggled.
“If you were to die of a heart attack, we wouldn’tin. But there’s no chance of that happening.”
“Right.”
“We just want to scare you a bit,” Heejin said brightly.
“You think I’d be scared of a few goblins?”
“I’m sure you’ve noticed yourself. We’re more powerful than you think. After this, you’ll constantly be looking over your shoulder. And I’m sure you’ll vow to never attack another goblin again.”
“Pffft.”
I snorted. Would that really happen? Just how powerful could goblins be? Even ghosts can’t scare me. But just then, an incredibly sexy young woman appeared in the distance and began walking towards me. She was wearing a white turtleneck and a red mini-skirt. As well as red high heels to boot. Her curves were insane. And her face…wow.
“Is she a cast member?” I asked, pointing at the woman.
“Yes, she is,” Heejin said with a nod.
“She’s sexy.”
“We brought her in especially for you.”
“Wow.”
I suddenly felt incredibly thankful to Heejin.
“But isn’t it hard for a man like you to be in a girl’s body?”
“Of course it is.”
What kind of question is that? Of course, it’s hard for me.
“Do you want to learn how to get back to a man’s body?”
“How?”
“Die.”
“You…right~”
I almost cursed at her. Anyways, soon enough, the sexy woman was standing in front of us as I could observe her more closely. A vixen-like aura with a beautiful smile and defined curves. Wide hips and a round butt. Not to mention, slender and beautiful legs. Breathe…let’s keep it PG-13 here.
“Hello, Mister~” she said to me with a sexy bow.
