There was a violent storm with lightning and thunder, which finally stopped after a night.
People in the noble district were enjoying the scenery after the rain. The slums were dead silent. The old and leaky roofs could not stop the downpour. The beds and food in countless people's homes were soaked and flooded. The rainy night, which was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the nobles, turned out to be the herald of death and the god of death that destroyed the lives of many poor people.
The original owner that Bo Chi replaced was a little girl who died last night.
The timeline of this world is in the modern peaceful era, but the humans living here are not safe because there is an invisible existence living next to them - ghosts.
The appearance of ghosts is untraceable. Some are formed by the condensation of negative energy, and some are caused by the resentment left at the time of death. Once formed, they will create their own rules. Each ghost has different ways of killing and weaknesses. Therefore, when a group of psychics who "fused their spirits with ghosts and went from killing each other to coexisting" emerged, they were inevitably enveloped by the rules, possessed the abilities of ghosts, and took over the "secrets" that only they knew.
Unlike the previous world, this world does not have a real protagonist. The plot is mostly from a group perspective, and the focus of the writing is on the various aspects of life and the night parade of ghosts.
But... the absence of a protagonist does not mean the absence of a villain. Bo Chi is very honored to be the wife of this villain.
Yu Zhao was originally an orphan who grew up in a slum. His only wish was to awaken his spirit and become a psychic to make a living. On the day she came of age, the elder of the Yu family in the noble district brought her home, made her the young master, and promoted her to a position second only to the emperor.
The sudden change in her status and identity did not make Yu Zhao get carried away. She diligently learned the common sense of the upper class, endured severe pain and sequelae, took a medicinal bath to open up her spiritual veins, and repaid everyone around her with her enthusiasm and sincerity. It was not until she was 19 years old and did not open the family's dragon-guarding coffin that the elders discovered that she had no Yu family blood at all, and since then she was demoted to dust.
If things had ended there, perhaps nothing would have happened afterwards. However, there were so many heartless and jealous people in the world, and when they saw the former phoenix in trouble, they immediately jumped out to mock and insult her. In the second year after she broke her leg, this group of people got tired of Yu Zhao's existence, pushed her down in the back garden, and left laughing.
That night, there was a continuous rainstorm and howling winds. A young girl died with her eyes wide open, and in return, an S-class ghost was born.
The classification of ghosts is quite simple, C-level can kill a village, B-level can kill a city, A-level can kill a province, and as for S-level, it takes the whole country's strength to fight against it.
Yu Zhao's death plunged the entire Qi Kingdom into despair. The territory that had already been occupied by evil spirits expanded again. Humans struggled to survive but were still dying quickly. When the poor people who depended on the psychics disappeared, the remaining people realized that this was a torture like cutting flesh with a blunt knife.
Yu Zhao was taking revenge, bit by bit, for the pain he had suffered in the past.
The psychics saw through the truth. They burned their boats and drew all their spiritual power into the Yu family's dragon-protecting coffin, trying to awaken their ancestors to kill the evil spirit and get a chance to survive.
However, when they desperately tried to wake him up, the ancestor looked down at the descendants of the Yu family, sighed sadly, "Are you sick? I've seen people cheating their fathers and sons, but I've never seen people cheating their ancestors! Eight hundred years ago, I was beaten into a coffin by this ghost king. When I was half asleep, I found that she was trying to open the coffin door. I was so scared that I held the coffin lid tightly and didn't let her succeed. Now, you are taking the initiative to get me out. What? Buy one get one free?"
The angry ancestor scolded them severely, and then beat them together.
After the fall of Qi State, Yu Zhao disappeared, but the story in the plot continued and began to talk about the future of other countries.
Bo Chi didn't look closely because she was picked up by someone.
“Chi Chi!” The man shook her and asked nervously, “Are you okay? Are you still alive? Chi Chi? Chi Chi!”
Bo Chi opened his eyes with great effort and said weakly, "Stop shaking. If you continue shaking, you'll really die."
She is now the original owner's identity, and looks like an eleven-year-old girl. Due to living in the slums for many years, she is not only as thin as a bamboo pole, but also in very poor health.
She had just arrived in this world last night, and after roughly reading the plot, she rushed to save Yu Zhao, fearing that if she was a step late, the other party would become completely evil.
However, it was her first time communicating with a ghost after all. Even though she spent points to buy this ghost from the system and it had no thoughts and was extremely docile, she still almost fainted after one big move and has been lying there since midnight.
The girl who picked her up is her current elder sister. Since her parents passed away, her elder sister has been begging and working to support her.
Bo Chi now has his own symbiotic ghost, which in this world is no less than a peasant becoming an emperor. In addition, she is an extremely rare "healing" psychic. Once the news gets out, many noble families will come to recruit her and train her.
There were too many poor people in the slums, and Bo Chi couldn't pull them all in one by one. She could only wave to her sister, and when she came closer, she whispered, "Go to school."
Sister Bo Yu was stunned, and hesitated with difficulty: "Chi Chi, we don't have money to pay tuition, so we can't go to school..."
Bo Chi closed his eyes tiredly and whispered, "No need for money. We can go to school without money now."
Bo Yu was at a loss for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, stared at Bo Chi with wide eyes, and said haltingly: "Chi, Chi Chi, you——"
Bo Chi nodded and interrupted, "Go ahead."
There was excitement in Bo Yu's eyes. Without any more doubts, he picked up Bo Chi and ran out.
The water on the ground gathered into a stinking ditch. She was no longer depressed, but full of a bright future.
There are too many ghosts in this world, and the nobles are very keen on training psychics to fight alongside them, so schools across the country are equipped with spirit detectors to detect whether a person has become a psychic.
When Bo Yu and Bo Chi were approaching the school, they saw the security guard at the door coming over with his nose covered. He said disdainfully: "Little boy, did you come to the wrong place? This is a school!"
The people of Qi can be divided into three main categories: the lowest class, the poor who do a lot of dirty and tiring work; the middle class, the civilians who work as security guards, doctors and teachers; and the high-level nobles who do not need to work. They only need to protect civilians and fight against evil spirits, so that humans who have no ability to protect themselves have a chance to reproduce and breathe.
Perhaps out of sympathy among people from the lower classes, the security guard did not hit them right away, but asked this question first.
Bo Yu looked nervous and mustered up the courage to say, "I know this is a school. My sister seemed to have...seen a ghost last night."
When she said the last three words, her voice dropped noticeably and her face was filled with fear.
The security guard was no exception. His expression was grim for two seconds, then his eyes lit up: "You mean... OK, I'll call the teacher inside, and you quickly put your sister on the bed!"
Zhou Zhou was making a lot of noise, Bo Chi frowned in a half-asleep state, and at some point he felt the spirit in his body being touched.
It is called a spirit, but in fact it is the negative energy formed by ghosts. After all, what a psychic communicates is between humans and ghosts.
Theoretically speaking, there is no upper limit for humans. As long as conditions permit, it is not a problem to subdue seven or eight ghosts. But no one in Qi Kingdom has been able to do it so far, because ghosts will kill each other. Controlling one is already difficult, and controlling two is like dancing on the edge of a knife, let alone controlling three or four.
The weapon in Bo Chi's body was bought at a huge cost of ten points from the system fee. It has no means of attack, only healing ability. He is also socially phobic and afraid of being stared at in the face.
If you want to walk independently in this dangerous world, you have to get another ghost.
"Wake up, wake up!"
He slept soundly and when he opened his eyes again, he heard an excited voice coming from the side.
She tilted her head to look and found that several teachers were looking at her with burning eyes. When they saw her head turned, they immediately rushed over and grabbed her hand, saying in unison: "Little sister, are you hungry?"
"Little sister, are you thirsty?"
"Little sister, how did you see the ghost last night? And how did you subdue it?"
Bo Chi blinked and said obediently, "It rained heavily last night. I was scared and wanted to go find my brother, but I fell..."
Three people and six pairs of eyes stared at her: "Hmm, what next?"
Bo Chi spread his hands: "Then I found a strange thing in my body. After I touched my knee with that thing, the wound on my knee disappeared."
The teachers took a deep breath and said in a daze: "It was just a fall..."
"I became a psychic..."
"Can you heal the wound? Hiss, little sister, do you want to come to our Lu family and stay for two days? We will give you delicious food and drink every day, and buy you beautiful new clothes!"
The other two teachers had subtle expressions, looked at each other, then left silently, taking out their cell phones as they left.
Bo Chi did not accept the Lu family's invitation. He snuggled up to the bed and used his hunger as an excuse to get rid of them.
Her goal has always been clear, which is to go to Yu Zhao and drive away all the bad guys who bully her wife, so that Yu Zhao can be a happy person instead of a resentful ghost.
After a while, three teachers brought in the delicious meals. Bo Chi took a look and couldn't take his eyes off them. His stomach started to growl.
The teachers chuckled, handed her the chopsticks, and said gently, "Eat quickly, don't starve yourself."
Bo Chi said thank you, but did not start eating directly. Instead, he raised his eyes and asked, "Where is my sister?"
The teachers were startled. "Your sister? Of course she went back to the slums. She's not a psychic and she looks dirty. When the nobles come to see you later, they will be upset when they see her standing aside. If they take their anger out on you, then -"
Her stomach was still growling, but the skinny little girl on the bed put down her chopsticks and interrupted with a serious look: "Since my sister has gone home, it's time for me to go too."
The teachers' faces changed, and they explained to her the seriousness of the matter. Bo Chi listened quietly, without changing his attitude at all: "I am young and weak, and I cannot go out to work to earn money. It is my sister who works day and night to support me, risking her life. Now I can sit in this room and see so many delicious foods, all thanks to my sister's years of support. Without her, I would not be who I am today."
"So I can't give her up just to please the nobles. Teachers, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I know exactly what I'm doing now."
As soon as she finished her firm words, there was a sudden applause from the door.
Bo Chi looked up and found that his sister was covering her mouth with tears in her eyes. Next to her stood a man in luxurious clothes, clapping and saying, "I originally wanted to seek justice for this young lady who was pushed away, but now it seems that I misunderstood. Hello, new psychic sister, let me introduce myself. My last name is Yu, Yu Hong."
Bo Chi's expression remained unchanged, but his favorable impression of him instantly dropped to negative.
Because Yu Hong was the one who broke Yu Zhao's legs in the plot!
