4-1: The Vengeful Ghost Descends
In the room, Huaiyan was drowsy.
The winter sun shone through the window, falling on the boy's fluttering eyelashes, a scene of tranquility and beauty.
"ah--!"
The tranquility was broken when a maid in the garden outside the villa cried out in surprise.
The boy frowned, slightly opened his eyes, and looked out the window with a blurry gaze.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.
Huaiyan didn't answer directly, but asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"
The butler outside the door answered respectfully, "Young Master, did the noise just now wake you?"
Huaiyan: "..."
Huai Yan thought to herself, "Your knocking has already disturbed me."
“It’s nothing,” Huai Yan said calmly. “You may leave.”
The butler then respectfully responded and turned to go downstairs.
There was no sound from outside the door.
Huai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, reviewing the plot she had just read.
This time, the story revolves around a real and a fake teenager.
The original owner of this body, who is now Huai Yan, is the pampered young master of the Huai family.
When the young master was eighteen, he started dating a boyfriend, who is the main character.
The two were in a good relationship, but during a blood donation, the Huai family unexpectedly discovered that the original owner was not their biological son.
After several searches, the protagonist, who is also the biological son of the Huai family, was found.
So the protagonist immediately assessed the situation, broke up with the original owner, and went to pursue the protagonist.
Actually, so far it hasn't been a big deal. Although the protagonist often opposes the original owner, he hasn't caused any real harm.
Moreover, the original owner had her brother's protection and the Huai family's doting affection, so she didn't suffer much hardship.
The real turning point came one night.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying inexplicably appeared in the Huai family's home.
At first, people thought it was just a normal cat meow. After all, a neutered cat's meow isn't exactly pleasant.
But the next night, in addition to the baby's crying, there were also noisy footsteps.
The footsteps could be heard in every corner of the Huai family home; anyone lying in bed could hear them, but they would disappear once they got up.
On the third night, the baby's cries, footsteps, and noisy conversations all rang out at once.
For a time, the Huai family was in a state of panic.
They invited the most famous feng shui master in S City, wanting him to take a look.
The feng shui master shook his head, unable to see anything strange about the house.
The unexpected happened on the fifth night.
The original owner's father drove home that evening, and it was a rainy day.
Then, the man collided with another car on a wide road, fell off a cliff, and died on the spot.
But the original owner's father was only the beginning of this incident.
Then, one mishap after another struck the Huai family.
The original owner's mother was a renowned art connoisseur, but she was inexplicably accused of theft, resulting in her disgrace.
The original owner's mother was distraught, and the sudden death of her husband dealt her a heavy blow.
She jumped off a cliff at the spot where her father had his car accident, and her body was never found.
In the end, most of the servants of the Huai family either left or scattered, and those who remained mostly met with misfortune.
Only the original owner and the protagonist were unharmed.
At this point, the plot is already quite clear.
All of this was a scheme set up by the protagonist.
The protagonist summoned evil spirits, all for the sake of the Tu Huai family's business and countless riches.
The protagonist pursued the original owner of the body for this reason, but later he discovered that the original owner was not his biological child.
The protagonist immediately changed his target and started pursuing someone else.
For some unknown reason, the protagonist (gong) and the protagonist (shou) reached an agreement at the beginning of the plan to jointly seize the Huai family's assets.
Therefore, in the end, the protagonist and the receiver are able to live in peace.
The original owner of this body, alone, with her family destroyed and having lost her parents and brother, was naturally powerless.
He was no match for the evil spirits summoned by the protagonist, and in the end, he was also killed by the evil spirits and met a violent death.
“This mission is relatively simple,” 073 sighed, “but it’s also very dangerous.”
The ghost in this dimension is an evil ghost.
He has the lives of more than a dozen members of the Huai family on his hands.
This proves that the evil spirit had already been stained with blood before.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to so easily wipe out almost the entire Huai family in such a short time.
“You might get killed by evil spirits if you’re not careful,” 073 said quietly. “Actually, several groups of hosts have come here before you came to this plane.”
Because of the special nature of this plane, and the fact that it involves evil spirits, which are inherently very powerful attackers.
Therefore, the task completion rate was alarmingly low.
Since this dimension was activated, five groups of hosts with relatively high ratings have come to meet this evil spirit.
As expected, they were all dealt with by the evil spirits.
And it was resolved very quickly.
Often, before they can even react, they have already been killed by evil spirits.
Moreover, evil spirits kill without a trace, making them impossible to guard against.
"So..." Huai Yan asked hesitantly, "Am I in the sixth batch?"
073 nodded and said slowly, "Theoretically, it should be."
Upon hearing this, Huaiyan's face turned pale, and she remained silent.
"But don't worry."
073 comforted him, "At least your rating is higher than theirs, right? What can a demon realm do to you?"
It's just a little scary, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light.
Huaiyan smiled, but the smile was stiff and awkward.
Fortunately, the mission of this dimension was only to prevent the tragedy from happening.
If it were any more difficult, the Huai inkstone might not have been able to be completed.
They might even die earlier than others.
“Oh right,” 073 remembered something, “if the plot goes as it should, you’re already with the main character now.”
Although 073 has no idea how the protagonist, with his quirky personality, became the protagonist.
But he understood that the protagonist's aura was powerful.
At least in the early stages, Huai inkstones cannot be directly confronted.
“It’s nothing,” 073 said. “As long as the protagonist becomes more and more greedy in the later stages, the protagonist’s halo will eventually disappear.”
Coincidentally, 073 had just finished analyzing the situation and said he needed to check it out, but Jiang Feng hadn't made a move yet.
The butler then came up and called Huaiyan again.
"Young Master," the butler knocked on the door and said, "Jiang Feng is here. Would you like to see him?"
Jiang Feng is the male lead, the one who is the dominant one.
That seamlessly transitioning, ruthless, and relentless male protagonist who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
"I see."
Huaiyan tried her best to appear as if she was incredibly excited about seeing her boyfriend.
He immediately opened the door, put on his slippers, and ran downstairs.
"Yan Yan".
Jiang Feng was already waiting in the living room.
He smiled brightly, put his arm around the boy's slender waist, and asked softly, "What are you doing up there? Don't you even want to see me?"
Involuntarily, upon hearing these words, Huaiyan got goosebumps all over her body.
But he had no choice but to agree with Jiang Feng, and smiled shyly in the other's arms.
After all, in the original storyline, the two had only just gotten together and were in the honeymoon phase.
If Huaiyan were to push Jiang Feng away at this moment, given Jiang Feng's suspicious nature, it would be difficult for him not to become suspicious.
"No, I didn't," the boy said softly. "Weren't you in your studio? What brings you here to see me?"
What brings you free time?
Huai Yan sneered. Of course, Jiang Feng came to check out the layout of the villa so he could move in directly later.
Jiang Feng, however, was completely unaware of the boy's malice.
He was secretly delighted, and quietly surveyed the entire villa, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.
"Can't I even come and see you?" Jiang Feng feigned anger. "You won't even let me see my boyfriend?"
Huaiyan blushed immediately and said softly, "I gave it to her."
"That's more like it."
Jiang Feng smiled with satisfaction.
After a while, the steward had already left.
Jiang Feng lowered his head, leaned close to Huai Yan's ear, and whispered, "Baby, do you want to do it?"
The hot air sprayed onto my neck in an instant, causing goosebumps all over my back.
Huaiyan was startled, but didn't dare to dodge directly.
His ears turned red as he pushed Jiang Feng's head away.
The boy said coquettishly, "How annoying, we're still at home."
He used to think that Huaiyan was like a flower on a high mountain, not only from a good family but also very promising at a young age.
Many men and women in the academy who had pursued Huaiyan were rejected one by one.
Jiang Feng believed that he definitely had no chance.
But to everyone's surprise, he won over this unattainable beauty with such ease.
Jiang Feng never expected that the boy would look so petite and easy to handle in his arms.
Huai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up slightly, and looked at Jiang Feng reproachfully: "You're still at home, with servants watching over you."
He didn't pay much attention to why the boy suddenly dodged away.
He assumed Huaiyan was just shy, so he quickly pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
Held tightly in Jiang Feng's arms, Huai Yan couldn't help but want to push him away.
But when he thought about the mission, he had to hold his nose and pretend to be full of love, snuggling in the other person's arms.
They were both men, how could he not understand what Jiang Feng meant just now?
If Huaiyan hadn't resisted, he might already be in bed with Jiang Feng.
"Baby."
Jiang Feng's voice came from above the boy's head. He said gently, "Don't push me away next time."
"I...I understand." Huaiyan's neck turned red, and she said in a soft voice, "Whatever you want to do next time...I'll do it."
"Okay, baby, next time... you have to cooperate with me, okay?"
As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Huai Yan's body stiffened.
It wasn't because of Jiang Feng's extremely disgusting words.
Instead, it was the alarms that were going off frantically in the background.
Huai Yan's expression was solemn as he and 073 looked at the large, blood-red characters lit up on the screen in the backstage area.
[Evil spirit detected.]
