You smiled and said, "He’s not afraid of the talisman in your hand. A ghost that can hide within electronic devices and engage in ntal communication with humans is not going to fear a talisman. To so extent, he is no longer just a ghost, but a more special entity, one of the Demons and Monsters—the i."
"So, what is he afraid of?"
"He’s afraid of you."
"Afraid of ?" Yu Xiaoi’s eyes imdiately lit up with joy upon hearing this, "Could it be that this young lady is the legendary True Destiny Goddess, a Fairy descended to Earth?"
"On the contrary, he’s afraid of you not because of your identity, but because of your left eye. Your left eye is a more advanced form of the Yin and Yang eyes, known as the Ghost Eye!"
"Ghost, Ghost Eye?" Yu Xiaoi exclaid in shock, subconsciously covering her left eye with her hand.
You looked at Yu Xiaoi. "You’re quite lucky, it’s a good thing only your left eye is the Ghost Eye. If both of your eyes were Ghost Eyes, you’d probably be locked up in a specially made prison by the Chu Sect right now."
"Hey, don’t scare ! What Chu Sect, Qin Sect, I don’t understand any of that!"
"You’ll find out about these in ti." As you spoke, you reached out with your right hand towards Yu Xiaoi, a natural and brilliant smile spreading across your face, "Senior Yu Xiaoi, would you be interested in joining our supernatural detective society?"
Yu Xiaoi’s eyes darted around, and with a smile as crafty as a fox’s across her single-lidded, sharp eyes, she said, "If you help my friend drive away that ghost, I might consider it. Otherwise, don’t even think about it."
Turning to look out the window beside her, she gazed at the garden outside and said, "In this world, there’s no love without reason, and certainly no hatred without cause. That guy sold his ancestral ho and went as far as Korea for plastic surgery just to win back his girlfriend. Just that sentint alone is sothing your friend won’t be able to repay in this lifeti. It also shows how deeply the man loved her, which makes his obsession all the stronger. Convincing soone with such a strong obsession to leave the Mortal World and enter the Underworld cycle is impossible. Besides, wasn’t your friend obsessed with Du Mingjun? A real-life celebrity would never chat with her, listen to her troubles, much less have a romantic relationship with her, but that ghost can."
"Bullshit! If it were a person, that would be one thing, but it’s a ghost! And you ntioned it’s a i—that kind of creature, after spending too much ti with it, is definitely going to either drain soone’s essence or take their life."
"Ah, you’ve actually guessed right on that," you said with a chuckle, "the primary goal of a i is to confuse people by various ans, ultimately to consu their souls."
"So what do we do?"
"I can help, but you have two choices. First, I could use a very special thod to remove your Ghost Eye to avoid you being discovered by other forces in the future and refined into sothing neither human nor ghost, a threat to the Mortal World."
"What did you say? Refined?"
You looked at Yu Xiaoi, still smiling, "Yes, refined. As I ntioned earlier, the Ghost Eye is a higher form of existence than the Yin and Yang eyes. When a person with the Ghost Eye gains full control of it, even a Ghost King who has cultivated for a thousand years would have to avoid them. Now tell , do you think those forces lurking in the shadows will let you be?"
"It can’t be that exaggerated; you’re really going out of your way to trick into joining your detective agency, haha, haha."
Yu Xiaoi let out a dry laugh, but as she noticed that everyone around her was looking at her solemnly, her heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
"There’s another choice: join the supernatural detective society and beco one of us."
"I’ll take the second option!" Yu Xiaoi was clever indeed. In fact, she had no aversion to joining the supernatural detective society, since everyone who could enter was an elite. But as a girl, she needed to maintain so decorum, to avoid being looked down upon."
"Since that’s the case, Zongzi, you and the Ji Ji man take Sister Xiaoi for a visit first to see the real situation."
Yu Xiaoi glanced at Zong Wangyue and Dai Zhenan before asking, "Can I rely on them?"
Zong Wangyue walked over to Yu Xiaoi with a smile and said, "Sister i, we are not combatants. I’m the group leader of the information team, and my na is Zong Wangyue. From now on, you can just call Zongzi. I may not be good at fighting ghosts, but I am an expert in information exploration. Let’s go."
Yu Xiaoi followed Zong Wangyue and Dai Zhenan with a look of skepticism and uncertainty.
As soon as they left, Wei Shuxian couldn’t help but frown at you and said, "Old Shu, recruiting at this ti is a bit risky, isn’t it? What if she’s one of Liu Bai’s people?"
After hearing this, you couldn’t help but smile slightly, "If she had any connection with Liu Bai, that would be great. That way, I could discern what his next plan is. It’s just a pity she isn’t."
Xiao Feng also stood up, walked over to you, and asked, "What do we do next?"
Glancing at everyone before you, you said with a smile, "Since they want to play, then let’s give them a good ga!"
You didn’t get involved in the issue concerning Yu Xiaoi’s friend; you left it to Xiao Feng to resolve. After all, this matter couldn’t be solved by force; it could only be addressed through gentle persuasion and verbal communication.
That night, as you were organizing the bookshelf in the dormitory, a crystal card suddenly fell out.
"Old Shu, you dropped sothing."
Yang Kai, who was nearby, bent down and picked up the gorgeous crystal card, flipping it over to find that besides so noble, elegant patterns and designs, there were no other words or symbols. Yang Kai couldn’t help but ask you, "Old Shu, why does this card look vaguely familiar to ?"
Turning your head to look, your face involuntarily showed a hint of a headache, "This is the crystal card Ruan Yuling gave the other day. I was supposed to return it to her, but I just haven’t had the free ti. And, to be honest, I don’t want to face that woman alone."
"Are you afraid she’ll eat you up?"
A lewd smile spread across Yang Kai’s face.
"Why don’t you go then?" Snatching the crystal card from Yang Kai’s hand, you casually tossed it onto the table.
Yang Kai imdiately took a step back, "I don’t want to be drained to death!"
Wei Shuxian, who was reading a book, turned to look at you and said, "Why not have i Li and Wenwen deliver it soday? Keeping that thing on you is not a good idea; it’s like a hot potato."
"Hmm, that’s a good idea. I’ll have i Li deliver it tomorrow."
No sooner had you spoken than your phone on the table rang. You looked down and exclaid, "Wow!
14414414444. Such a phone number exists!
Yang Kai also craned his neck to look, exaggerating his expression as he said, "Wow, wow, that phone number is defying the heavens! Whoever can use such a number is either crazy or a madman. Old Shu, since when did you get to know such people?"
"Who knows, maybe it’s a scam company."
Yang Kai imdiately said, "I ran into a scamr a few days ago. That guy’s tricks were so low. Co on, let’s listen to how this one is?"
