Chapter 11 Friction



Bai Ningning originally wanted to take the elevator upstairs with the other two to meet Lu Yu, but the lights in the elevator started flickering, so the three of them had to take the stairs instead.

After climbing three floors, Bai Ningning gradually lost her strength to the two boys and said breathlessly, "I can't run anymore..."

Ma Juan suddenly came out from Bai Ningning's hairpin and hugged Bai Ningning in her arms.

Her body size was twice as big as before, more than enough to hold the tiny Bai Ningning.

Bai Ningning couldn't see, but felt cold, so she tentatively called out, "Sister Juan?"

Zhuo Yang stared at her in confusion: "You really can't see?" Or is she hiding some card that he doesn't know about?

Bai Ningning: "It's cold!"

Suddenly I felt surrounded by a cold wind, but the two people in front of me didn't react. Who else could it be but Sister Juan?

Yuan Muyang looked at her disapprovingly, but still helped convey: "She said that this can hide your human scent."

Zhuo Yang thought thoughtfully: "Now that you put it that way, I do think you're full of ghostly energy..."

Bai Ningning was exhausted and was about to give up: "Then I won't run away? If I get caught up by a ghost, I think I'll be considered one of the same kind..."

Zhuo Yang pulled her upstairs: "I still advise you to climb to the seventh floor with us. Ghosts will devour other ghosts after they go berserk."

Bai Ningning: "I'm so tired, I can't climb anymore, you guys go up first..."

The next second, Bai Ningning suddenly floated in the air.

Bai Ningning: “?!”

Zhuo Yang was in a complicated mood for a moment, with a look of shock mixed with jealousy: "Ma Juan carried you on her back and said she was willing to carry you upstairs."

Bai Ningning: "...Thank you, Sister Juan?"

For a moment, Bai Ningning "flew" to the front, and it became Zhuo Yang and Yuan Muyang who tried hard to catch up with her "pace".

Bai Ningning felt that this feeling was a bit strange. She asked, "Am I possessed by a ghost?"

Being possessed by a ghost in front of the rising star of the metaphysical world is a bit exciting.

Zhuo Yang looked at Yuan Muyang hesitantly: "...this shouldn't count, right?"

Yuan Muyang: “Not really.”

Suddenly, Ma Juan seemed to sense something, turned around hurriedly, and ran downstairs with Bai Ningning on her back, passing by Yuan Muyang and Zhuo Yang who looked confused.

Zhuo Yang: “?!”

He quickly turned around and went downstairs to chase in the direction of Ma Juan. Considering how much Lu Yu valued Bai Ningning, he would probably go crazy if he found out that Bai Ningning had been kidnapped by a ghost.

Lu Yu knew something was wrong downstairs, so she rushed downstairs and found Yuan Muyang alone on the stairs. She asked, "What happened?"

"Ma Juan carried Bai Ningning downstairs," Yuan Muyang was silent for a moment and speculated, "It seems she was scared by you."

Lu Yu hurried downstairs, while Yuan Muyang took a different approach and chose to jump out the window.

Zhuo Yang didn't know that Bai Ningning could attract ghosts, and Yuan Muyang underestimated her attraction to ghosts.

But Lu Yu knew very well that Bai Ningning was like catnip that only worked on ghosts. Ghosts within a ten-mile radius could smell her fragrance.

If they were really caught up by ghosts, the crazy ghosts would think that Ma Juan had hidden the whole flesh of Tang Monk and didn't want to share it with them, and they would probably eat both the ghosts and the people.

First floor lobby.

A black mist emerged from the evil-repelling orb, which was much thicker than the black mist yesterday. He smelled the scent of Bai Ningning in the air and knew that it was Bai Ningning who threw him here.

The evil ghost sneered: "The little girl is young, but she is quite capable of causing trouble. Since you saved me, I will save you again."

The ghost fog dispersed, swallowing up all the ghosts gathered there.

The strong ghost energy condensed into black mist and spread in all directions, like waves and an abyss, magnificent and dangerous.

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that something was wrong: "Such a strong ghost aura."

Ma Juan was half eaten up by the sudden evil spirit. She screamed miserably and quickly hid in her hairpin for shelter.

Bai Ningning suddenly landed on the ground, a little confused: "Sister Juan?"

Zhuo Yang caught up: "Ningning?"

"It's me." She looked back in confusion, not understanding what was happening.

[Here we go! Ningning eliminated all the ghosts, but she hid her achievements and fame and pretended to be unaware.]

Does she think someone's watching her from upstairs, so she's trying to act like a bit more? I adore her innocent look.

[It must be a habit. After all, I pretend to be like this 24 hours a day, year-round, regardless of whether there are people around. It's ingrained in my bones.]

[What do you know? This is detailed acting! It's about caution! Walls have ears, understand?]

Zhuo Yang breathed a sigh of relief and helped her up: "As long as you're safe."

Bai Ningning asked: "Have you seen Sister Juan?"

Zhuo Yang: "No, but there was a very strong ghost energy just now, but I don't know why it suddenly disappeared..."

Bai Ningning scratched her hair in confusion, not noticing that there was a small white bead in her pocket - the evil-repelling bead she had been longing for.

Yuan Muyang jumped out of the window and landed at the main entrance of Ninghua Finance, but found that the hall was empty and there was nothing.

He followed the ghost energy into the stairwell and went up until he saw Bai Ningning and Zhuo Yang - as well as Lu Yu who had just come down from upstairs.

Lu Yu looked down from above and their eyes met Yuan Muyang's. Without any communication, the two of them instantly realized that they had failed to catch this evil ghost.

The ghostly aura dissipated, and the moon, which had been hiding for a night, finally showed up.

Bai Ningning and Zhuo Yang sat on the steps in front of Ninghua Finance waiting for other freshmen, while Lu Yu and Yuan Muyang went upstairs to investigate the accident scene.

Other freshmen arrived one after another, and all the ghosts were swept away. They thought their formation was successful and cheered.

"The first mission was successfully completed!"

"Where's Master? Is she still on the top floor?"

"Is there a 24-hour restaurant? Let's find a place to celebrate."

This group of freshmen under the moonlight are out of tune with the atmosphere of Bai Ningning and Zhuo Yang hiding in the shadows.

Bai Ningning suggested, "Following Sister Juan's clues, we'll find something. We'll find her two daughters, and then..."

Yao Mao interrupted her, his tone serious: "Do you know how many ghosts there are today? We have completed our welcoming mission. Don't interfere in things that are not our responsibility. It's very dangerous."

Fang Kuida echoed him, denouncing Bai Ningning: "That's right, you just followed along on a mission, don't think you're so awesome."

Zhuo Yang stood up and looked down at this group of clueless freshmen with a frivolous smile: "Idiots."

Fang Kuida waved his fist and was about to go upstairs to fight: "Don't go too far, I've tolerated you for a long time!"

The others hurriedly stopped Fang Kuida. They were all classmates, so they had to maintain their reputation.

Yu Yue knew Bai Ningning was very powerful and thought she was trying to hide her strength, so she took the initiative to change the subject and lighten the mood by asking Yao Mao, "Did any ghosts enter your building? A lot of ghosts entered our building at that time."

Yao Mao: "There were so many. I was scared to death."

"Who do you think will take first place this time?"

"Uncle Yuan or Zhuo Yang, after all, they designed the main formation."

These people turned around and started to reward people for their contributions, completely ignoring the follow-up of the case or why these ghosts gathered here.

Bai Ningning was also a little angry, but after seeing the barrage, she was no longer angry at all.

[These people are so shameless! They didn't do anything and just want to take the credit!]

[Both sides activated the formation in advance. Not to mention that this formation-breaking technique was useless in the first place, there was a design flaw. Both sides weren't activated at the same time, making the already useless formation even more useless.]

[A bunch of idiots who think they are so awesome and criticize the heroes here]

Ahhh, this rotten world of metaphysics and these shameless people!

[It was Ningning who secretly dealt with these ghosts. I'm so angry! Ningning, please slap them in the face!]

[Wait a moment, Ningning wants to gather together and do something big to shock everyone]

[But it really wouldn't be appropriate not to give Ningning the MVP this time, right?]

Bai Ningning: “?”

No, wait, there's no need to praise her as the biggest contributor in the comments. This incident really has nothing to do with her...

The barrage and reality are completely separated, and seem to be two different extremes.

Bai Ningning suddenly felt bored, stood up, dusted off her pants, and said, "Those who want to work overtime, come upstairs with me, the rest of you are welcome."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without caring whether anyone followed her or not, or even whether the group heard her or not.

The lively freshmen seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water. They stood there for a moment, stunned and at a loss as to what to do.

Zhuo Yang sneered, turned around and followed Bai Ningning to the elevator.

But he found that Bai Ningning had no intention of waiting for anyone. After entering the elevator, she directly pressed the floor and elevator closing buttons.

Zhuo Yang strode quickly, squeezing into the elevator before the door closed. His aura was completely gone: "Can't you give me a moment to show off?"

Bai Ningning looked at him as if he were mentally retarded.

Zhuo Yang scratched his head, feeling something was wrong: "You didn't leave them the floor number..."

Bai Ningning: "Can't they tell which floor the elevator is parked on?"

Zhuo Yang thought it made sense, so he pressed all the floor buttons and stopped at each floor.

Bai Ningning: “?”

Zhuo Yang: "This will effectively screen out those dishonest idiots."

Bai Ningning was so angry she was speechless: "We are here to do hard labor, understand? If no one comes upstairs later, you're going to do the hard labor alone? I can't see ghosts anyway, so I can just play it down."

Zhuo Yang: “…”

It perfectly illustrates what it means to try to be cool and end up shooting yourself in the foot.
