In a world where the supernatural has returned and vengeful spirits come knocking, Jiang Chen awakens the Demon Transformation System. As long as he can stir up emotional fluctuations in these cree...
Chapter 1 Knocking Ghost, Demon Transformation System
"A perverted murderer has recently appeared near Tianfu Road. Three people have been killed, and their faces are covered in blood. Citizens are advised to avoid going out and be wary of suspicious individuals!"
"A tragic murder occurred in Changhe Community, where an innocent family was tragically killed. The case is under investigation, and danger cannot be ruled out around the community!"
"A skinning case occurred in Kangzhuang Building..."
“…”
"What's going on? In Jiangbei City, there are three or four murders happening almost every day?" Inside the rental house, Jiang Chen stared at the news on his phone with a frown.
"And it was reported before the case was solved."
"Or do these reports have another purpose, implicitly warning citizens not to approach these places, that the so-called mass murderers are not human beings?"
A strange fantasy popped up in his mind. This was not an unfounded speculation, because Jiang Chen himself had experienced supernatural events, for example - he was not from this world.
He still remembered that in his previous life, he died of cancer. When he opened his eyes, he became a three-year-old child, and saw a completely unfamiliar world.
At first Jiang Chen was very excited, thinking that he was the chosen one and that he must reach the pinnacle of his life. But he soon discovered that it was snowing heavily all around and there was not even a ghost on the street.
Before Jiang Chen froze to death, an elderly widower took him home and told him, "Call me grandpa, this will be your home from now on."
After that, Jiang Chen finally had a guardian.
But two years ago, just when he was admitted to Jiangbei University of Finance and Economics, the old man passed away.
Don't get me wrong, he's not dead.
The old man left a letter and a bank card with 100,000 yuan in it, then left the city and disappeared. No one knew where he went.
"The old man was mumbling incoherently for a day or two before he passed away, saying something about the sect being in trouble. Could he be possessed by a ghost?"
The abnormal number of murders in the past month made Jiang Chen have some bad associations.
“Do…do…do…”
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Jiang Chen was stunned and glanced at the time on his phone.
02:44
"It's past two in the morning. Who's looking for Sister Hong?"
There was a knock on the door from across the street, where lived Jiang Chen's landlord, a charming woman in her thirties.
“Do…do…do…”
In the quiet building in the early morning, the sound seemed particularly harsh.
"Did something happen to Sister Hong? Or is there something wrong with the person knocking on the door, so she doesn't dare to open it?"
Hearing that no one opened the door, Jiang Chen frowned, stood up and went to the door.
Through the peephole, he saw the back of a woman wearing a white dress with dark red block patterns on it. The woman continued to knock on the security door opposite. The outstretched hand looked a little pale under the reflection of the corridor light.
Jiang Chen always felt that the woman's movements were a little strange. When she knocked on the door, she didn't move her wrist, but waved her whole arm like a fortune cat.
"Her arm joints seem very stiff..."
The woman knocked on the door for a while and suddenly stopped, but she did not leave. Instead, she lay on the security door and tried to peek into the situation inside through the peephole.
"What does she want?"
The woman's behavior was so strange that Jiang Chen had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I know you are in there, open the door, open the door quickly!" After looking for a few times, the woman suddenly spoke in a sinister voice. Her voice was hoarse, as if there was a piece of phlegm stuck in her throat.
As she shouted, the woman knocked on the door more frantically, almost pounding it.
Jiang Chen's pupils shrank, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.
He judged that this woman was probably mentally ill, or she might be the psychopathic murderer reported recently.
