Seeing that Xiang Yan was very resistant, the system did not force him. After all, they were now partners and needed to work together to better solve the problem of the outbreak of supernatural events in the world.
Originally, this world is a very ordinary supernatural plane. Although some horrific supernatural events occur occasionally, there are also some very powerful Taoist and Buddhist sects and special national departments. There are also many ghost exorcists among the people, so humans and ghosts have always lived in peace.
But no one knows what happened. After a sudden meteor shower half a year ago, this world began to merge with several nearby worlds.
The first fusion is a world about horror games.
After the fusion of that world, the strength of the ghosts in this world greatly exceeded that of the human race. The balance between good and evil was broken, and the human race was gradually suppressed by the ghosts.
Moreover, the trend of world fusion has not stopped, this world is still constantly merging with other worlds around it. The world Xiang Yan originally lived in was one of them.
In order to prevent the continuous fusion of the world, and to control the balance of good and evil forces, a system that was originally just a collection of information was ordered to balance the forces of good and evil.
This is also the reason why the system brought Xiang Yan to this world ahead of time. After all, he needs to get familiar with this world full of ghosts in advance. Although Xiang Yan doesn't want to get familiar with it at all.
[So... dear, you don't plan to go to the old campus to check?] The system looked at Xiang Yan, who was concentrating on the class and avoiding talking about the old campus, and couldn't help but ask.
Even if the system will not force Xiang Yan to do something, this jumping incident still needs to be investigated.
If we leave it alone, we don’t know how many people will be killed, and…
Xiang Yan glanced at the progress bar on the system interface, which showed 1% of the information collection rate, and couldn't help but sigh.
The functions of the system must reach a certain level of information collection before they can be unlocked, but ordinary daily life cannot collect much information at all. The fastest way to collect information is to participate in those terrifying supernatural events.
Only by collecting information can Xiang Yan gain the ability to protect himself and protect his younger brothers and sisters after the worlds are integrated in the future.
Therefore, no matter how afraid he is of ghosts, Xiang Yan will not back down.
But not backing down doesn't mean he can go directly to the old campus to catch ghosts now.
[Everything should be done step by step, slowly and steadily.] Xiang Yan said to the system in his heart.
[? ] The system sent a question mark in confusion, [Do you have a plan yet? ]
Xiang Yan was doing two things at once, taking notes and answering the system, "With our current low combat power, we can't just fight it. We need to learn how to treat the symptoms."
Judging from the information Xiang Yan had heard in the past few days since he transferred to another school, something must have happened in the old campus more than ten years ago, and this jumping case might be related to that incident.
The most important thing now is to figure out what happened in the end, how it is related to this incident, and why the ghost wanted to harm people, so that we can better solve this problem.
Otherwise, you won't be able to deal with the evil spirit if you don't know anything.
Lunch break at noon.
Xiang Yan walked on the road, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, with a little sweat on his forehead. But he felt very relieved in his heart.
Ghosts are feminine and afraid of sunlight, so they usually come out late at night when the yin energy is heavier.
At noon, when the sun is shining brightly, most ghosts and monsters would hide. That was why Xiang Yan felt very safe running out to collect information.
"Huh?" Xiang Yan was walking on a road leading to the old campus, and he found that the place he had just passed by was very cool. No, it was not just cool, there was a direct gust of cold air blowing towards him.
"..." Xiang Yan paused and turned to look at the place where the cold air just blew from. He looked at the forest in front of him hesitantly, "Is this... a locust tree?"
[Dear, yes, this is a locust tree forest.] The system replied affirmatively.
[…I remember that locust trees…attract ghosts?] Xiang Yan looked at the large locust tree forest in front of him and felt a chill in his heart.
The system paused for a while, silently searched for information about the locust tree, and then sent the information to Xiang Yan.
[The Sophora japonica tree is originally a Yin tree. In Feng Shui, a balance of Yin and Yang is auspicious. When Yin is strong, Yang is weak, and when Yang is strong, Yin is weak. Unless Yang is very strong, it is best not to plant a Sophora japonica tree at home, so as not to attract...]
"..." After reading the information about locust trees sent by the system, Xiang Yan looked up at the large lush locust tree forest in front of him. He was silent for a few seconds, then tightened his face, turned around and quickly left the locust tree forest and came to the vicinity of the old campus.
It was not until he was exposed to the hot sun again that the chill in Xiang Yan's heart slowly disappeared.
"Huh..." Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but look back at the locust tree forest not far away.
Things like locust trees attracting ghosts can be easily found out through research. It may just be a rumor in other places, but it is not necessarily the case in this world where ghosts really exist.
Normally, schools shouldn't plant locust trees in school, especially such a large locust tree forest. But this school planted them...
[Kiss——] The system called Xiang Yan sweetly.
[!] Xiang Yan came to his senses immediately after being called by the system, and looked towards the old campus surrounded by the cordon.
We can talk about the matter of locust tree forest later. The focus now is the jumping incident in the old campus.
There used to be students living in the old campus, but after these accidents, all the students left. It is now temporarily blocked off and there are people guarding it during the day, so no one can enter.
[Is it possible that I can only come here secretly at night?] Xiang Yan looked at the heavily guarded old campus and felt very reluctant to come here at night.
[Kiss, kiss, kiss——]
Just when Xiang Yan was struggling over whether or not to go to the old campus at night, the system suddenly started beeping like crazy.
[Hiss——] Xiang Yan frowned and covered his ears, and asked with a bit of gritted teeth: [What happened?]
[Look up, look up, there, look there!] The system excitedly pointed to a building in the old campus, with a hint of excitement in its tone.
Xiang Yan covered his ears and looked over.
A woman with long hair and wearing red clothes and whose face could not be seen flashed quickly in the building pointed by the system.
"...Fuck" Xiang Yan widened his eyes and couldn't help but swear, then... lowered his head, turned around and walked forward, all in one go.
After walking back to the new campus and looking at the bustling scene around him, Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his tightly clenched hands full of sweat, and then patted his chest with lingering fear.
[Dear...are you okay?] The system looked at Xiang Yan's pale face and listened to his rapid heartbeat, and asked worriedly.
Although the system had always known that Xiang Yan was afraid of ghosts, because it had never seen one in person and Xiang Yan usually behaved calmly, the system did not take it seriously.
Result! As a result, the moment Xiang Yan saw the woman in red, the system felt that his heartbeat seemed to stop.
The system sensed that Xiang Yan's body was stiff and sweaty at that moment. It was afraid that Xiang Yan would close his eyes and faint. It was beyond the system's expectation that Xiang Yan could hold on and come back.
"Hoo...Hoo..." Xiang Yan patted his chest and took a few breaths, then replied softly: [It's okay, I'll just take a break.]
