Chapter 1 The cross and holy water in Yuan Fang’s hands left him at a loss for words.

Why?

Why were there players acting as undead?

That’s right, Mu Chen was still in the game.

Only now, he was a ghost, invisible to everyone else.

Wasn’t he afraid no one would notice for the entire game?

Yuan Fang watched the handsome man, dressed almost identically to himself, sitting next to Miss Merchant, mimicking her pose, hand supporting his chin, his gaze full of gentle affection, only directed one way.

Wow, had Yuan Fang stumbled into some *Ghost* love story game?

Dressed in the same priest’s robes as Yuan Fang, the man who should be loving the world was, in Mu Chen’s case, only saving one person.

For a moment, Yuan Fang felt like he was being force-fed dog food!

“Hey, what are you spacing out for?” Lu Xiaoyao, pulling out her gear, was nearly tripped up by Yuan Fang, who was standing there like an idiot.

She glared at Yuan Fang with disdain, but then saw him staring at Ming Mei. Lu Xiaoyao followed his gaze.

She couldn’t see anything.

Then, Lu Xiaoyao looked at Wang Wenfei and Lou Jia, who had the simplest and most ordinary equipment among them, and her attention immediately shifted.

“This is your equipment?”

Seeing Wang Wenfei holding a plate of rice and a candle, hesitatingly looking out the door, and Lou Jia with his hand already on the doorknob, Lu Xiaoyao finally called out.

“Ah, we, we were planning to find a suitable place for the ritual.” Wang Wenfei, snapped back to reality by Lu Xiaoyao's shout, blinked, her brow furrowing as she stared at Lou Jia. Her answer to Lu Xiaoyao wasn't false, but she felt like her state of mind had been a little off just now.

“Where are you going?” The others looked at Wang Wenfei and them.

“To Martha’s house,” Lou Jia said expressionlessly.

“Whoa! So brave?!”

The speaker was Zhen Po. After shouting, Zhen Po noticed that everyone else was holding their tools, seemingly ready to go out.

It was just that Wang Wenfei and them had made the first move.

Of course, this didn't include Lu Xiaoyao.

She was still familiarizing herself with her ghost-catching tools. Upon hearing Lou Jia's answer and Zhen Po's exclamation, Lu Xiaoyao looked up and noticed that everyone seemed to be heading out together, so she quickly stuffed a handful of talismans into the front of her collar.

Afraid everyone would leave her behind.

“How else are we going to exorcise the demons?” Yuan Fang said at this moment. “This house is just next door to Nale’s house. To exorcise, of course, we have to go next door.”

Yuan Fang hung his crucifix around his neck, holding a Bible in one hand and a small bottle of holy water in the other, looking like he was going to follow them.

This time, all of their players had one mission—exorcism.

The files that Zhen Po had just brought almost all locked onto their exorcism target. With more monks than gruel, being late meant not getting points!

Ming Mei watched as everyone, thanks to Lu Xiaoyao’s timely discovery, had a string of people following the two mediums who had originally planned to sneak out. Seeing everyone leaving, Ming Mei could only follow along to watch the fun.

What Ming Mei didn't expect was that Zhen Po had fallen behind and was walking with her at the back of the group.

This prompted Ming Mei to ask, “Aren’t you going to the front?”

“I don’t know how to exorcise demons…”

Saying this, Zhen Po looked miserable.

Everyone else had the task of exorcising demons, so how come his identity card wasn't an exorcist?

Zhen Po felt a little sad, and then glanced at the undead player who looked handsome next to Ming Mei.

It seemed, there was a little comfort?

Compared to him, the player playing an undead character must be even more unlucky, right?

Although he wasn’t familiar with Mu Chen in his current memories, he instinctively felt that this person was a big shot.

Perhaps because Zhen Po kept looking over, Ming Mei couldn't help but turn her head and meet his peeking gaze.

“What are you looking at me for?” Ming Mei went straight to the point, not giving the other party a chance to make excuses. “I saw you kept looking over here.”

“No, I wasn’t.” Accidentally looking at Mu Chen standing behind Miss Merchant, seeing the fierce look in his eyes telling him to shut up, Zhen Po’s lips twitched slightly as he denied his behavior.

“I was just, just looking around, just looking around.”

“Is that so?”

Ming Mei glanced at Zhen Po, who refused to tell the truth, and ignored him. Looking at the crowd gathered at the door, frowning, she furrowed her brows.

Following the worried gazes of the crowd, Ming Mei noticed that the door was locked.

“Ah, let me handle this.”

Just then, Zhen Po, who had been lagging behind, stepped forward and took out a bunch of keys from his waist, opening the door.

“Huh?”

Everyone was puzzled by his many keys.

“Ah, I forgot, this building belongs to my mom, no, to the mom of this character.” Zhen Po then remembered that there was this point in his character setting.

Everyone: 0v0, This is the legendary second-generation landlord?

Even Zhen Po couldn't help but sigh as he opened the door, “Ah, how great would it be if I had a building in real life too~”

Following the sigh, the sound of the door creaking open rang out, and the door to Nale’s house was pushed open by Zhen Po.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, there was no dust flying in their faces. On the contrary, after Lou Jia turned on the lights, everyone could clearly see that the house was very clean and tidy.

Was this a haunted house that had been uninhabited for a long time?

Things were bound to be abnormal!

Almost instantly, the group raised their vigilance to the highest level, walking into the house one after another. After Ming Mei had completely entered the house, suddenly the sound of a door closing and locking behind her startled everyone, breaking them into a cold sweat.

“Uwaaaaa!” Lu Xiaoyao screamed and raised the bell in her hand to shake it. The others, who weren’t scared out of their wits by this commotion, were first annoyed by the ringing of Lu Xiaoyao’s bell, which was so loud that their heads ached.

“Enough, enough!” Yuan Fang grabbed Lu Xiaoyao’s arm, stopping her from shaking the ear-piercing bell.

[Whoa! This bell is making me wide awake!]

[I was nervous, thinking something was going to happen, but…]

[Lu Xiaoyao: Atmosphere-destroying expert!]

[I've lowered my fear level for this story to the lowest! I believe in my baby's abilities!]

…

Ming Mei couldn't help but rub her ears. This was really going to kill her!

That good Soul-Gathering Bell had been shaken by Lu Xiaoyao to produce only noise. She was truly—talented!

“I closed the door.”

Ming Mei was startled by Lou Jia, who had appeared behind her at some point and closed and locked the door.

A second ago, wasn’t this person in front, entering the house and turning on the lights? Ming Mei knew she was walking at the back, so when did this person come from behind and close and lock the door?

“A lot of people have died in this building. Besides evil spirits, who knows how many ghosts there are? Leaving the door open will affect the spiritual medium’s spiritual communication effect.”

Lou Jia explained their special work characteristics and also emphasized that there were many ghosts in this building. Others began to have some calculations in their minds.

“Without the owner’s permission, even the undead can’t randomly enter someone else’s territory.” When Lou Jia said this little tidbit, Wang Wenfei glanced at him.

Indeed, the main exorcism was here. If other undead entered, it would be funny if they accidentally exorcised the wrong ones.

However, Wang Wenfei, who was also a spiritual medium, hadn’t spoken much since just now. In fact, she had kept her distance from Lou Jia.

Ming Mei noticed this, and the viewers watching the live stream also noticed this problem.

[Hey? Why is that young lady standing with our daughter?]

[Didn’t they work together last round? What’s wrong with sticking together this round?]

[No, no, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that, look at the way she looks at the male spiritual medium. It’s not quite the same~]

[Hmm? Did you find something?]

…

“So, what’s the next step?”

The door-closing episode was considered over. At this moment, a group of exorcists stood in Nale's house, probing each other.

“Then let’s go first. At least we can say a few words to the evil spirits. You guys…” This time, Lou Jia spoke first again.

Then he looked at the peach wood sword in Lu Xiaoyao’s hand, the rosary in the monk’s hand, and the crucifix in the priest’s hand, and smiled slightly, “Let’s at least try to probe them gently first. What if you anger the evil spirits like this?”

Lou Jia’s words made some sense. Among those present with “weapons,” the two spiritual mediums seemed to be easier to bully.

It was just that Yuan Fang and Zhen Po didn’t believe his words.

Yuan Fang looked at Mu Chen, who was standing behind Ming Mei, giving him a familiar feeling, as well as a sense of fear he couldn't explain. He saw the other party raise his eyes and look towards Lou Jia’s direction, then shake his head.

Was this a hint that he couldn't let Lou Jia take the lead, or that Lou Jia had a problem?

Yuan Fang focused his attention on Lou Jia once again, seeing him talking eloquently, and the others listening nodded, seemingly agreeing with his views.

Zhen Po couldn't do anything because he wasn't an exorcist. He secretly looked at Yuan Fang, winking.

Brother, it's up to you!

In response, Yuan Fang hesitated. If he spoke, did that mean he had to go first?

He didn't want to be the evil spirit's whetstone.

Lou Jia smiled at everyone. Seeing that no one was speaking, he reached out to Wang Wenfei and said, “Then let’s start with the two of us.”
