The background on the NPC panel clearly states that Huang Xiaohua was originally a native village girl. After being killed by bad guys, she became a vengeful ghost who would kill anyone who harmed her or protected the bad guys. She also wants to kill all strangers, including players. It is impossible for her to possess anyone she wants to kill.

Another ghost was a village woman who died with her eyes wide open after her baby girl, born during a difficult childbirth, was drowned.

This guy isn't very bloodthirsty, and he's a bit mentally unstable; he's just there to confuse people.

But then again, shouldn't she possess an NPC to create chaos? Why possess Wang Wei?

Well, it's fine if she's possessed. Controlling a person is easier than controlling a ghost. After all, they're different species. Even if Yu Ling is an NPC, she can't stop a ghost that can become invisible at any time, is immune to all kinds of damage, and has no martial ethics.

NPC possession of players also requires triggering conditions. Wang Wei probably triggered "eye contact" and was thus quickly affected. However, it is also likely related to the fact that he is a newbie with no combat ability. He didn't fully equip himself with the points he had. Isn't he just waiting to be possessed by a ghost?

Yu Ling saw that "Wang Wei's" face had begun to distort, and his mouth was stretched almost to his ears, which startled Yu Sicai, who was holding him, so much that he fell to the ground with a thud.

......

I hope his nose is alright.

"Boss, has he mutated?"

Yu Sicai ran very fast, hiding behind Yu Ling almost as soon as he let go. He was most afraid of these ghostly things. He hadn't encountered these things in the previous two missions, and apart from clinging to her, he really didn't have any thoughts of resistance.

"It's nothing, he's just possessed by a ghost. Perfect, you take a rope and tie him up, I'll cast a seal to trap the ghost inside his body. That way, with the ghost occupying the village chief's house, it should be absolutely safe for the next few days."

Huang Xiaohua attacked from the outside in, and by the time she reached the old village chief's house, she should have been at her most lucid. Yu Ling could have negotiated with her and helped her kill her enemies.

Yu Ling took out a restraint strap from her storage space—a strap used to restrain aggressive patients in a mental hospital—and handed it to Yu Sicai. She thought she couldn't use her extraordinary abilities directly, otherwise she might easily kill Wang Wei, which would seriously damage his reputation among players.

He saw that some players were selling resurrection items. Although they were expensive, it was inevitable that no one would buy them. If they weren't all killed... he didn't want to think about it. It was better not to kill players indiscriminately. At least he should use the help of local NPCs as cover.

Making a gesture of silence, Yu Ling raised her hand and made two random gestures in the air, pretending to draw a talisman, but in reality, she used her soul as a medium to cast a demonic spell and freeze Wang Wei in place.

"Alright, go tie him up tightly. If you have any ghost-sealing tools, you can buy one and use it." Yu Ling wasn't sure if his cultivation world's demonic arts would be equally effective against ghosts from another world.

After the two tied the unlucky Wang Wei to the floor, Yu Sicai refused to sleep in the same place as his good brother who was possessed by a ghost. Seeing that Yu Ling had no intention of sleeping, he shamelessly sidled up in the corner of the bed.

"Boss, what do we do next?"

Yu Ling silently opened the mini-game interface and set up a shared view for Yu Sicai.

That night, Yu Sicai experienced for the first time what it meant to be so nervous for someone else that he had difficulty breathing.

Even though it was Yu Ling who was playing, his heart was pounding wildly. The game was simply inhuman, full of traps and pitfalls, yet Yu Ling would never fall into the same trap twice. He didn't know how she remembered them.

After Yu Ling completed three more mini-games that were so infuriating they made her want to have a stroke, dawn broke.

Yu Ling's body is a perfect match for her soul, so she won't have any aftereffects from staying up all night. On the other hand, Yu Sicai was still shaken after a whole night, his face was pale and his dark circles were very deep, clearly looking like he needed to replenish his kidneys.

The village chief, who came to deliver breakfast to the two, was stunned.

Three people living in one room can't even hold back their desires?

"Young man, you need to be careful!"

The village chief spoke earnestly to Sicai,

"Your roommate being good-looking is not a reason for you to be so indulgent."

Yu Sicai: This big shot can easily control ghosts, do you think I dare to do that?

He didn't dare to explain, fearing Yu Ling would get angry, and accepted the bowl of millet porridge and pickled vegetables to thank her.

As expected, the village chief called Yu Ling out to eat with him again, saying he would take her around the village. He seemed quite comfortable leaving Wang Wei and Yu Sicai at his house.

Just before leaving, the village chief finally saw Wang Wei, who was tied up in a corner, with pieces of his own clothes stuffed in his mouth, unable to speak.

Young man, all dressed up, huh?

The old village chief neither respected nor understood, but since Yu Ling, this handsome young man, was alright, he didn't care what others thought.

Yu Ling had another hearty and healthy breakfast with the village chief before leaving the house with him.

Huangjia Village is a closed village that doesn't usually interact with the outside world. They were very curious about Yuling, a stranger, but Huang Xiaohua had started causing trouble recently, so no one was in the mood to chat with the village chief. They simply looked at the scenery and familiarized themselves with the terrain. The village chief even led Yuling to visit all the unmarried girls, but... none of those girls seemed to be as pretty as Yuling.

"Alas, my little village just can't keep people here." The old village chief sighed sadly. Even with a good son-in-law, he couldn't keep a good daughter. "Don't worry, although I'm an old man, I still have some say in the village. I'll send you away in a few days."

Time slipped by, and the old village chief's NPC memories slowly began to awaken. He knew he should eliminate all outsiders, but such a good girl as Yu Ling—respectful to elders, giving him gifts, making him happy, and patiently accompanying him on shopping trips—was becoming increasingly rare...

Other players being relentlessly hunted by NPCs: ...We could do it too! But you won't give us the chance!!!

They were envious. It was rare to see a player like Yu Ling, who, with the old village chief leading the way, kept several violent NPCs in line and didn't cause any trouble.

Yu Ling never expected that just by strolling around town, he would be hated by the players.

But it didn't matter. He originally only wanted to keep Wang Wei and Yu Sicai, the two noobs, to clear the level. As for the others? If they came up, he would just push for performance targets. If the performance targets were high enough, the rest would be left to fend for themselves. It was easy to handle.

Yu Ling returned amidst a sea of ​​envious, jealous, and resentful glances from the players.

But what he didn't notice was that a little girl's shadow also followed his shadow.

The little girl had no murderous intent, no malice, and didn't even do anything; she simply followed Yu Ling. And because of the absolute rule ability that the local god gave to NPCs, she actually managed to evade Yu Ling's detection.

—This applies only to little girls who are not visible and do nothing.

Huang Xiaohua didn't know why she followed a handsome older brother. Just a second ago, she was secretly cursing a strange, bad guy.
