Ye Jia calmly took a step back.


    His field of vision immediately widened.


    He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of those voices.


    He saw two translucent ghosts sitting one high and one low on the dusty chandelier. Their bodies had no specific shape, and their facial features were very simple, like they were roughly drawn on. It was twisted and crooked and looked overall a little awkward, as if not much attention was paid when it was drawn. Two small white arms of different lengths stretched out from the sides of the body, clinging onto the decorations of the chandelier nearby.


    "That handsome guy seemed to have looked at me." The smaller one said in a small voice.


    "That are you thinking?" The other one ruthlessly tore apart its illusion, "How could humans see ghosts?"


    The little scare spirit aggrievedly fell silent.


    "However," the big scare spirit suggested, "why don''t we let these humans stay a little longer this time?"


    "Okay, he can''t see us anyway. We might even be able to get closer!" The little scare spirit immediately became more spirited, "We just need to drive them out before the sun goes down!"


    "A-and you can stick to him!" Th big scare spirit became excited. Its face revealed a dreamy expression, "His waist is so thin, and the lines look so good. I think he should have some abs! I''m going to thereter and touch it!"


    "T-then I''ll go on his shoulder!" The little scare spirit was unwilling to back down, "The closer to his face the better!"


    A strange blush appeared on its face, "If only I could kiss him, or he could kiss me."


    Ye Jia: "…….."


    His expression wasplicated as he silently listened to the two spirits above discussing how to take advantage of him.


    These…..These are two very unique scare spirits.


    They had already finished negotiating. They slowly floated down like two jiggling jellies and approached Ye Jia little by little.


    "Achoo!" Cheng Cezhi seemed to have felt something and sneezed. He hunched his shoulders, "Why is it suddenly a little cold?"


    Ye Jia turned and nced at him.


    Although Cheng Cezhi possessed a mild degree of spiritual vision, he wasn''t someone who had been affected by yin energy after all, so he could only see fierce ghosts that are rtively stronger. As for those such as wandering souls one would often encounter in life or little spirits that don''t y a big role in the game, he wouldn''t be able to see them and would only be a little more sensitivepared to a normal person.


    The big scare spirit reached out its small white hands and loosely hugged his waist, happily pressing its jelly-like face against his abdomen, "So thin….."


    Ye Jia: "……."


    He closed his eyes and slowly took a deep breath.


    Endure.


    Endure.


    There are still five seeking death youngsters here.


    And the other little scare spirit floated towards Ye Jia''s shoulder. It stretched out its hand but just as it was about to hug Ye Jia''s neck, it suddenly heard a thunderous roar.


    "Hey, what are you doing?!"


    The small ck hand appeared from under Ye Jia''s cor. It looked fiercely at the little spirit who was trying to steal its ce, "Don''t you know firste, first served?"


    The little scare spirit was scared into tears: "Ahhhhh!!!"


    —–It was clearly a spirit specialised in scaring others, but surprisingly it wasn''t very courageous.


    Cheng Cezhi on the other hand heard the small ck hand''s shout.


    He was taken aback for a moment. He turned back and looked in the direction of the sound: "What happened?"


    Seeing that the situation was about to be a mess, Ye Jia made a decision.


    He tore off the big scare spirit that was clinging to his waist with one hand and used his other hand to grab the little scare spirit floating in the air above him and then quickly created a barrier using his ghost energy to ensure that the dialogue inside couldn''t be heard.


    The two scare spirits were startled by Ye Jia''s sudden action.


    They screamed in Ye Jia''s hands, "Ahhhhhhhh!!"


    The small ck hand sat on Ye Jia''s shoulder as it gloated at the miserable spirits before it. It seemed to be very pleased with the current development.


    "Y-y-you, you can see us?" The big scare spirit shrank back into Ye Jia''s hand fearfully.


    Ye Jia: "………"


    He cast his eyes down at them, "Yes."


    "T-t-then, you….." The simple facial features of the scare spirit seemed to be a little dazed. A strange blush spread across its translucent face, "You also heard what we were saying too?"


    Ye Jia: "…….."


    If he had a choice, he really didn''t want to hear it.


    Seeing theplicated look on the young man''s face, even if he didn''t answer, the scare spirit knew the answer.


    "Wuuuuuu. How embarrassing." The little scare spirit sobbed, "B-but, to be seen by such a handsome guy, I''m also happy…….."


    Ye Jia: "………."


    The blush on the face of the other scare spirit spread even further. It rubbed its ice-cold cheek against Ye Jia''s finger, "Y-your palm is also veryfortable. As expected of a handsome guy….."


    Ye Jia: "…….."


    These two ghosts can no longer be saved.


    He forced himself to ignore his violently throbbing temples and slowly spoke up, "Open the door."


    "Okay." The scare spirit used this chance to rub against Ye Jia''s knuckles before revealing a silly smile, "No problem!"


    Ye Jia let them go.


    The two scare spirits flew out the moment they were released and slowly floated upwards.


    The painting on the wall slowly returned to its original state and the pale-faced woman disappeared, revealing the original blurredndscape painting. The eye on the ground had also turned into a normal stair decoration. The two scare spirits floated towards the door and the next moment, the door that was originally firmly shut suddenly opened.


    The five people crowded at the door instantly lost their bnce and stumbled out.


    Outside the door, the sun was gradually setting. There was only a golden glow left in the horizon and one could barely see the outline of the sun.


    The deserted courtyard still looked the same was before. As a breeze blew by, the weeds and trees in the courtyard would rustle.


    But the five of them clearly weren''t in the mood to appreciate the scenery. They all rushed out of the vi, as if running for their lives.


    My god!


    In this world……T-there really are ghosts!!!


    Although they liked to seek thrills, they were still atheists in the end. They wouldn''t have been so keen to explore various haunted ces otherwise.


    Their experience here…..could be said to havepleted subverted their worldviews.

    Suddenly, He Lian seemed to have remembered something. Turning back while panting, she was worried, "What about those two? Could they have……?"


    Another boy grumbled, "You still care about this at a time like this? Just hurry and run!"


    But those words seemed to have reminded Guan Tianyi of something. He suddenly stopped.


    He turned and looked back at the silent vi behind him. After their desperate escape just now, they had already run a certain distance away from the eerie building and right now they could only see the vi with its door wide open vaguely through the tall weeds and grass.


    Guan Tianyi seemed to be conflicted inside.


    "Hey….." The short-haired girl tugged at his arm. Her slender fingers were a little pale and her voice was trembling, "L-let''s go…..What are you standing here for?"


    Guan Tianyi hesitated and finally slowly shook his head.


    His breathing was a little unsteady, "W-wait a minute. I have studied haunted houses like this. Generally speaking, it should be safe after leaving the building…….."


    His face was still pale, and his hands and feet were cold and trembling, but his eyes shined a scary light.


    The other two boys seemed to have calmed down. They exchanged a look and seemed to have simrly thought of something.


    They gritted their teeth and nodded boldly.


    "O……okay, then let''s wait and see."


    The five waited with trepidation, but even after waiting for a long time, nothing came out of the vi.


    It should be safe.


    Guan Tianyi calmed himself down and breathed a sigh of relief. He then dug out his phone from his pocket.


    Although his fingers were still trembling, it didn''t hinder him from opening the live broadcast software. He pointed the front camera of his phone at himself.


    —-In fact, he and his friends were some rtively popr online stars on a social media tform. As someone who often formed a group and went to various famous haunted ces, he had attracted a following with simr interests who liked paranormal events and conspiracy theories.


    Guan Tianyi''s hands and feet were cold but there was still a flush of excitement on his cheeks.


    T-this was a great opportunity!


    —-Since he had be a social media star, this was his first time encountering such a realistic and conclusive spiritual experience!


    This discovery was too important. If he could seize this opportunity, he might be a big hit!


    Guan Tianyi pointed the camera at himself. His breathing was still trembling from the fear. He took a deep breath and then started to speak in a suppressed but excited voice, "Friends, I promise you, t-the next words that I say are all true."


    Severalments appeared on the scene:


    【Starting the live broadcast so early? 】


    【Are you going to explore another haunted house? 】


    【Those words again. Everyone let''s go. If there really are ghosts in this world, he would''ve already been taken away by them. 】


    Seeing the floatingments, Guan Tianyi wasn''t angered. He only sighed solemnly, "You don''t have to believe me, but I was not the only one who experienced it just now."


    He pointed the camera at the other four people.


    The shock on their faces didn''t seem like it was faked. He Lian in particr was hiding behind one of the boys and on the verge of crying, "Please stop filming, Let''s go. I don''t want to stay here any longer."


    The number ofments on the screen increased. More people had entered the live broadcast room.


    【……Is it real? 】


    【It should be acting? 】


    【I follow that litter sister in Weibo. She''s a very gentle person. I don''t think she''s someone who would lie!! 】


    Seeing that his live broadcast was attracting arge audience, Guan Tianyi pursed his lips in excitement.


    He turned around and zoomed out to ensure that the deserted vi was captured:


    "It''s here. This is a vi in the outskirts of M City, a famous haunted house. We originally didn''t believe it was haunted….."


    At this moment, Guan Tianyi saw two figures slowly emerge from the darkness behind the open door through his phone screen.


    He was shocked. His back was wet with cold sweat.


    The other four were clearly also frightened. Just as they were about to scream, the moment they saw the faces of the two people, they were all taken aback and the scream that was about toe out remained blocked in their throats.


    The expressions of the two looked normal, as if they weren''t afraid at all. They walked out of the vi one after another.


    It was as if they hadn''t experienced any scary incidents at all.


    Guan Tianyi turned and stared at the two people behind him. The phone in his hand was still recording. He stuttered:


    "Y-you guys….."


    Seeing such an unexpected reversal, the barrage ofments immediately became even more enthusiastic:


    【Wait a minute, what''s going on? 】


    【So the two who came out of the vi are ghosts? 】


    【Hahahaha I think these liars were caught in their act! 】


    "Huh?" Cheng Cezhi''s first reaction was a look of surprise. He then looked like he suddenly realised something, "Oh, were you scared just now?"


    ???


    All five were dumbfounded. They looked at the two of them with nk expressions, as if they didn''t understand the meaning of that question just now.


    Five minutes ago, in the vi.


    Ye Jia briefly exined the situation to Cheng Cezhi.


    He concealed the fact that these two scare spirits came from the game and only said that there were two spirits weak enough to remain undetected by Cheng Cezhi living in this vi and that they were basically harmless except that they liked to scare people.


    "Is that so….." Cheng Cezhi turned to look at the backs of the five who had run out and was troubled, "But since there are indeed ghosts here, the Bureau would definitely send people here to continue the investigation. If those people go and spread the news and ce this vi under the public and media''s attention, it wouldn''t be good."


    Please read this from kk trantes


    Ye Jia lowered his eyes and didn''t answer.


    Suddenly, Cheng Cezhi thought of something. His eyes lit up and he raised his clenched fist and smacked his palm, "I got it!"


    Outside the vi.


    Cheng Cezhi revealed a deceiving smile, "It seems that the owner bought this vi with the ns to make it into a haunted house, but the n was abandoned after there were issues with funding. When we went to the second floor, we saw something that appeared to be a switch and identally touched it. After that we heard guys screaming below and realised that we must have activated a mechanism that was installed here before. Did we scare you? Sorry, sorry."


    The five were dumbfounded.


    They looked at each other in doubt.


    This continued until Cheng Cezhi took out the eyeball——


    He Lian let out a small scream. She tightly held onto the sleeve of the boy next to her.


    He asked, "Did this scare you just now?


    Ye Jia who was standing on the side raised his eyes and casually nced at the scare spirits floating beside him.


    One of them obediently touched the eyeball and Cheng Cezhi cooperatively acted like he had pressed a button under the ball. The next second, the scary eyeball turned into a wooden ball, "Look, it''s just a prop."


    Guan Tianyi''s face was frozen. His eyes wandered and he looked at Cheng Cezhi for a while and then at the vi behind him.


    The phone in his hand was still recording.


    Lines of hahahahahaha floated past.


    【Hahahahahahahahaha Famous paranormal inte star exposed live! 】


    【This face-pping scene LOL. What do you call something like this hahahaha】


    【But speaking of which, that eyeball is really realistic. If it was me, I would''ve also been scared. 】


    【Begging for the opening of this haunted house! 】


    Several inconspicuousments were mixed in with the barrage ofments:


    【Say…..am I the only one who noticed that thest little brother was really handsome? 】


    【Sister upstairs, don''t go! I also saw it hehe. Definitely a face that can make a debut! 】


    Guan Tianyi saw suchments as soon as he looked down.


    With a stiff expression, he directly turned off the live broadcast.


    Cheng Cezhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. While the youngsters were busying discussing with each other, he pulled Ye Jia aside, "Great. There should be no problem now."


    He took out his phone to call Liu Zhaocheng, "I will call the Chief to send over someone from the Combat Division and clean this ce up….."


    Although the two scare spirits floating in the air are a little airheaded, they weren''t stupid.


    They hugged each other and trembled, "Clean….clean up? What do you mean by clean up?"


    The little scare spirit burst into tears: "Wahhhhhh I don''t want to die!!"


    "Wahhhhh Me too!" The big scare spirit held it and their jelly-like bodies trembled together.


    Ye Jia raised his eyes and nced at them. He raised his finger slightly.


    The next second, Cheng Cezhi saw two transparent, slime-like ghosts appear before his eyes. His hand shook and he almost dropped his phone, "W-what is this?!"


    The two scare spirits froze for a moment before realising that the other human could now see them. They floated over and cling onto the other person''s wrist, crying loudly, "Wahhhhhhhh We only like to scare people."


    The little scare spirit sobbed, "Hu-human''s fear is delicious, b-but we don''t eat humans."


    "Y-yeah." The big scare spirit also sobbed, "The ghosts in the other ces are too scary. W-we were afraid of being eaten so we came here. We only frightened the neighbours to get enough food…."


    Cheng Cezhi was troubled. For a while, he didn''t know what to do.


    —-He knew very clearly what the Bureau''s attitude towards paranormal creatures were. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, harmful or not, they would all be eliminated.


    In fact, it was easy to understand because although ordinary wandering spirits will not bring any harm to humans, once they are allowed to do their own things and if they happened to gather at a ce with a lot of yin energy, they are likely to be fierce ghosts. It was better to cut it at the roots to avoid future troubles from arising.


    Although that was the case, Cheng Cezhi couldn''t help but waver when he saw the two harmless spirits.


    He raised his head and looked at Ye Jia for help.


    Ye Jia shrugged without any change to his expression, "They look like they have something to say to you."


    Cheng Cezhi: "……."


    It''s over. He was feeling even more conflicted now.


    The little scare spirit clinging to Cheng Cezhi''s wrist cried, "Moreover, every time someonees, we try to scare them away before the sun sets….."


    "That''s right, that''s right!" The big scare spirit nodded desperately, "We were protecting you!"


    Ye Jia paused.


    He remembered the conversation the two had before.


    At that time, the two scare spirits still hadn''t realised that he could hear them and their words at the time —- "We just need to drive them out before the sun goes down."


    This was the second time this was mentioned.


    Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked, "The sun setting?"


    He asked, "What will happen when the sun sets?"


    The little scare spirit looked up at him and replied as if it was normal:


    "After the sun sets, the vi woulde alive."


    Its expression was so innocent, making the words it said just now sound even more terrifying.


    Behind everyone, the setting sun slowly sank. Arge part of the sky was now dark blue with only a small corner glowing faintly.


    As soon as the little scare spirit stopped speaking, the remaining glow was swallowed up, leaving only the darkening sky.


    Cheng Cehzi''s back felt cold. He quickly turned and looked back at the vi.


    In the dim and gloomy night, the deserted three-storey vi stood there quietly with dark windows looking like bottomless eyes looking back at them. The cold and eerie atmosphere enveloped the lonely building and, with the tall weeds surrounding it, it was a rather frightening sight.


    Ye Jia''s eyes darkened slightly.


    He could smell the scenting from the vi in front of him. It waspletely different from earlier.


    —-In the city, there would always be ces whererge amounts of yin energy would gather like how water would automatically gather at a ce where there is a depression on an otherwise t ground. This kind of ce was called a Yin Pit.


    There was a total of three of them in M City and each of them are being closely monitored by the Bureau who would send people to clean the ce up every once in a while.


    And this ce was too deste, too far from the poption, and with the addition that it only activated at night, it was natural that it hadn''t been discovered until now.


    Considering how long the vi had been left abandoned here, one could only imagine how much yin energy must have silently umted here.


    "The vi woulde alive"……


    It probably wasn''t just an exaggeration.


    Cheng Cezhi''s expression also turned serious.


    He turned around and walked quickly over to the five youngsters. He shouted sternly, "What are you still hanging around for? Not going to leave?"


    The next second, Cheng Cezhi found that he couldn''t speak.


    Ye Jia followed Cheng Cezhi''s line of sight and looked over——He saw that the small group of five people now only had four.


    Guan Tianyi was gone.


    Cheng Cezhi''s expression became ugly. He pulled one of them by their arm with such much force, his fingers were almost all white, "Where is the other one?"


    The boy who was grabbed let out a painful cry. Seemingly scared by Cheng Cezhi''s expression, he stammered, "H-he went back….."


    Before Cheng Cezhi could breathe a sigh of relief, another person interrupted, "Yeah, he said that he identally left behind the ghost detection device he paid a lot for and went back to retrieve it….."


    Cheng Cezhi''s vision went ck. He almost couldn''t breathe.


    He let go and seemed to have lost his faith in humanity.


    While he was in panic, he heard a calm and steady voice behind him, "You take them back to the car."


    Cheng Cezhi turned back and saw Ye Jia standing not far away looking at him.


    The gradually rising moonlight spilled down, illuminating the side of his face. It dyed his shoulders white like it was snow.


    The young man''s expression was exceptionally calm. It was as if he would never reveal any traces of panic on his face.


    His light-coloured eyes reflected the cold moonlight. For some reason, it made people feel a strange sense of trust towards him.


    He said faintly:


    "You don''t need to notify the Bureau. I will be back soon."


    Cheng Cezhi returned to his senses. He gritted his teeth and nodded solemnly.


    —-He knew that this wasn''t inpliance with the rules but……for some reason, he just trusted in the words of the other party. As if it possessed some magical powers, it made him firmly believe that the other party must have a solution to this.


    The steps of the others were scattered and hurried. They quickly disappeared into the tall grass.


    Ye Jia raised his eyes and looked up at the vi before him.


    He narrowed his eyes and took a slow and deep breath—–The cold and humid air poured into his chest, bringing about a small shudder.


    Ye Jia could feel it——–


    The extremely alluring and sweet smell emanating from the building in front of him.


    Under the temptation of that smell, the ghost energy lying dormant inside his body slowly regained consciousness. It stirred and whispered silently in his ear——"Hungry."


    "……So hungry."


    He retracted his gaze and walked into the vi.
