 Chapter 1: Death tattoo, becoming the chosen one.

    <h4>Chapter 1: Death tattoo, bing the chosen one.</h4>


    Creak...


    The restaurant''s door was pushed open, and a woman in a red dress with a charming face walked in.


    "Cu... customer... wee... wee to the Fierce Ghost Restaurant. What... what would you like to order?"


    A young man, about eighteen or neen years old, approached her nervously, his face filled with extreme terror.


    "James?" The woman nced at the name tag on the young man''s chest and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:


    "Are you afraid of me?"


    "No... no..." Cold sweat poured down James'' forehead as he shook his head and waved his hands.


    Finally, his legs gave out, and he copsed onto his knees.


    "Hehe... young man, you look a lot like my ex-boyfriend, very simr..." A bright smile appeared on the woman''s charming face. Her tender, fair hand gently grasped James'' hand and ced it on her smooth, fair thigh.


    Her eyes, like rippling water, were filled with memories and haziness as she murmured:


    "Do you know? I loved him very much, and he loved me too. Every night, he would kneel before me like this, caressing my body again and again."


    The woman''s voice became soft and seductive. The touch from her palm made James'' heart waver, slowly calming down, and his hand unconsciously wandered back and forth on that smooth, beautiful leg.


    Suddenly, his fingers seemed to touch a crevice-like gap, and he couldn''t help but want to look down.


    However, the woman''s voice interrupted his action:


    "Young man, do you like it?"


    "I like it!"


    Without hesitation, James nodded continuously, his eyes filled with confusion and intoxication.


    He seemed to forget where he was. Not far away, at a table, a man covered in bandages watched the scene andughed silently with his mouth wide open.


    A strange, enchanting smile also appeared on the woman''s face as she lowered her head, her red lips slightly parted, and whispered into James'' ear:


    "Young man, since you like it so much, do you want to know how I came here?"


    How... did she get here? Fierce Ghost Restaurant?


    That''s right! This is the Fierce Ghost Restaurant, where only vengeful spirits can be customers!


    James shuddered, suddenly pulling his hand back, feeling it sticky and wet.


    Looking down, his eyes were filled with bright red blood.


    Terrified, James raised his head and his gaze traveled up the woman''s legs. He suddenly fell to the ground, feeling as if his whole body had plunged into an endless ice cer, and scrambled backward using both his hands and feet.


    Those originally fair legs were now filled with countless spider-web-like cracks that spread all over her body.


    The woman slowly stood up, blood oozing out along the cracks. Pieces of flesh the size of a thumb and as thin as eggshells were washed away by the blood, continuously falling onto the ground.


    "Young man..." the woman began, her voice still soft and gentle.


    As she smiled,rge pieces of flesh fell off her face, much like fish scales.


    Her entire body looked like it was pieced together from countless pieces of flesh!


    The woman slowly leaned down, and drops of blood mixed with pieces of flesh fell onto James. Her voice gradually became colder:


    "I haven''t told you how I got here yet! I loved my boyfriend very much, and he loved me too. He didn''t like me interacting with other men, so he used a scalpel to slice me into one piece after another..."


    "It took me... so much effort to piece myself back together! There are a total of 36,000 pieces!"


    "Young man, you touched me just now! He''ll be unhappy if he finds out!"


    "Hehe... what a coincidence, the flesh on my body has recently started to smell. Young man, why don''t you lend me some of your flesh?"


    The eerie voice continued, and a pair of bony ws, with only bones left, firmly grasped James'' neck.


    Bang!


    The bloody scene suddenly turned pitch ck.


    Chilling winds swept through, apanied by the slight sounds of teeth shing, and the rustling of clothes caused by trembling in fear. Apart from that, only the heavy and terrified panting remained.


    "ssmates!"


    The lights came back on, and the ss teacher stood solemnly on the podium:


    "I hope you all understand that this is not a horror movie, not a film! The arrival of the thrilling world has been going on for ten years now, and we have gradually figured out some patterns!"


    "Every adult man and woman will be drawn into the terrifying sub-world by the thrilling world. Those who sessfully pass through can receive rewards, but those who fail, like the protagonist of this live video, will undoubtedly die."


    "Over the past ten years, out of the billions of people on Earth, more than twenty million have entered the sub-world, but only one in ten has survived!"


    "Next, I''ll tell you what to pay attention to if you are selected."


    "First of all, different sub-worlds have different rules, but one thing is certain: all sub-worlds have certain patterns. For example, in the ghost sub-world we just saw, if the student named James hadn''t been scared, and instead had followed the sub-world''s requirements to take orders for customers, as long as there were no mistakes in the service, the ghosts and goblins wouldn''t have attacked so easily."


    "So, once you enter a sub-world, don''t try to get close to the ghosts and goblins. Remember, in their eyes, you''re nothing more than a te of delicious food! With very few exceptions, it is extremely difficult to approach fierce ghosts, and they may even try to eat you by any means necessary."


    ...


    On the stage, the ss teacher spoke eloquently.


    Below the stage, the students who had just been somewhat frightened listened intently but mostly didn''t take it seriously.


    No one believed that they would be so unlucky as to be chosen.


    With a total of over 16 billion people on Earth, only about 20 million have been selected so far, with an average of a few million per year.


    Every year, more than two million people die from car idents and suicidesbined!


    Of course, more importantly, once selected by the thrilling game, the legendary death tattoo would appear on their bodies.


    Those who didn''t have the tattoo yet had no need to worry.


    Except...


    In a corner of the ssroom, Alexander frowned and slipped his fingers into his sleeve.


    Hidden beneath the sleeve, a mysterious scythe tattoo suddenly appeared on his arm.


    At the same time, a piece of information emerged in Alexander''s mind.


    "Congrattions, you have been chosen by the thrilling world and have gained the right to enter it!"


    "Your attributes will be materialized and can be viewed at any time through the ghost tattoo!"


    "Every month, you will be forcibly drafted to enter a sub-world in the thrilling world. If you pass through it, you will receive rewards from the thrilling world."


    "Besides thepulsory draft, you can choose to join countdown-started sub-worlds through the ghost tattoo. There are level restrictions for participation in sub-worlds, and you cannot normally enter a sub-world more than one level above your own."


    "Sub-world levels and strength divisions are as follows: wronged souls, evil spirits, fierce ghosts, ghost kings..."


    "Compulsory draft countdown: 23:59:59"


    He had only one day!


    Alexander was utterly shocked in his heart!


    It had been more than five years since he came to this ghostly world from Earth.


    Four years ago, his parents in this world died in a ne crash while returning to their home country.


    Relying on the savings left by the parents he had never met and argepensation from the airline, Alexander had been living rtivelyfortably.


    But the thrilling world had always loomed over him like a mountain.


    ording to the novels he had read on Earth, being a transmigrator, having deceased parents, and dealing with this thrilling space, there was no doubt that this would eventually fall on him.


    Sure enough, on his 18th birthday today, before midnight had passed, the ill-fated tattoo hade knocking.


    Feeling the tattoo on his arm, Alexandermented internally.


    "In my past life, I was just an ordinary sales trainer! With no system, no golden finger, do you expect me to sell things to fierce ghosts?"

 Chapter 2: Dungeon opening: Blood Moon High School

    <h4>Chapter 2: Dungeon opening: Blood Moon High School</h4>


    "Alexander, school''s over, huh? Howe you came home so early today?"


    "Alexander, do you want to y basketball tomorrow at noon? Let''s crush those kids from next door!"


    "Brother Alexander, my mom said she just learned two new yoga poses and asked you toe over tonight to give her some guidance. I... I want to learn too..."


    ...


    In the evening, walking through the neighborhood on his way home, Alexander was warmly greeted by passersby.


    In his previous life, Alexander had been a small-time crook and a pyramid scheme offender who struggled for more than twenty years to be a well-known sales trainer in the industry.


    Salespeople trained by him were spread across Europe and even around the world, with two even reaching the position of Sales Director in Fortune 500panies.


    As a sales trainer, Alexander''s training content was actually quite simple.


    Building rtionships and swindling people.


    Professionally speaking, it''s about social interaction and linguistic charm.


    Therefore, although only a few years had passed, Alexander had be quite popr in thismunity.


    But right now, Alexander was in no mood to interact with these people and hurried home.


    After locking the door and closing the curtains, Alexander rolled up his sleeves with a gloomy expression.


    His finger brushed over the blood-colored sickle tattoo, and a piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.


    Chosen One: Alexander


    Number: xjbxd44011


    Strength: 15


    Speed: 17


    Endurance: 15


    Ghost Qi: 0


    Talent: Unobstructed Social Communication Charm Syndrome (abbreviated: Social Bullshit Certificate, Social Syndrome)


    Participation in Instances: 0


    Ghost Coins: 0


    Ghost Items: None


    Skills: None


    "Looking at my four-dimensional attributes, it''s fine that I have no Ghost Qi. It''s said that you can only get it in the Thrilling World by achieving a very high score orpleting special tasks, which is extremely precious. However, my strength and endurance are only 15 points, and even my highest attribute, speed, is just 17 points, still 3 points below the average level."


    Looking at his attributes, Alexander was somewhat speechless.


    It couldn''t be helped; due to the existence of the Thrilling World, people in this world generally valued physical exercise.


    Alexander had only been in this world for five years, and coupled with his habit of staying upte from his previous life, his physical condition was naturally not very strong.


    However, Alexander soon shifted his attention to the talent column.


    What did the Social Bullshit Certificate mean?


    Although he was a top salesperson and socializing was a basic skill, he was about to enter the Thrilling World.


    A world full of evil spirits and ghosts, how could he socialize? Offering cigarettes and drinks to ghosts and ttering them?


    The countdown had only a dozen hours left.


    Having seen many movies and read countless novels, Alexander knew that what he needed most now was rest and maintaining his condition.


    However, he couldn''t sleep. It''s hard to believe anyone could fall asleep under such circumstances.


    Helpless, Alexander turned on hisputer and searched for information rted to the Thrilling World.


    The more he read, the more frightened Alexander became.


    For the first time on record, a thrilling descent urred at the Evil Spirit Hospital. Among the twenty chosen ones, only one survived.


    The second descent took ce in the Dark Forest, with fifty chosen ones and only two survivors.


    The third time was at the Chaotic Burial Park, with fifteen chosen ones and two survivors.


    ...


    In the Underground Labyrinth, two thousand were chosen, and only six survived.


    On the Death Train, one thousand two hundred were chosen, and only four survived.


    In the Ghost Vige, two thousand were chosen, and only nine survived.


    ...


    These appalling figures sent chills down Alexander''s spine.


    This was far worse than a one-in-ten survival rate!


    Up to this point, whether it was a dungeon with dozens or thousands of participants, only a handful of survivors ever exceeded double digits.


    It was only in the past two years that the survival rate had slightly increased.


    However, the difficulty of the dungeons was also increasing.


    Six months ago, arge-scale dungeon called Battlefield Hospital admitted twenty thousand participants, and only one person survived, who soon died of madness and illness.


    Time passed quickly with the sound of keyboard clicks and mouse movements, and despite his reluctance, the countdown reached zero under Alexander''s frightened gaze.


    "Countdown ended, starting to select the descent dungeon!"


    "Dungeon selectionpleted, congrattions on entering the Blood Moon High School dungeon, with 20 chosen ones!"


    "Basic Task: Survive until the school bell rings in the afternoon."


    "Reminder: The students and teachers here all died with grievances. If you don''t have the strength, don''t provoke them easily!"


    As the voices rang in his ears, the scene before him suddenly changed, and in the next moment, Alexander found himself in a ssroom.


    Twenty other men and women, all looking terrified, were also teleported in.


    "I''ve never heard of this Blood Moon High School before."


    "We''re doomed! It''s a new dungeon, and we''re as good as dead!"


    "Exactly! With the experience gained over the years, even neers now have a survival rate of more than 30% in ordinary dungeons. But in new dungeons, everything needs to be rediscovered, and with the increasing difficulty of recent dungeons, the survival rate is definitely less than 10%!"


    ...


    Wails of despair filled the ssroom.


    The chosen ones all looked terrified.


    "Everyone, listen to me!"


    At that moment, a burly man stood up:


    "Don''t move, stay where you are. I''m an expert who has cleared three dungeons! My name is Cain."


    "An expert? Three dungeons?"


    Upon hearing Cain''s words, everyone suddenly felt uplifted, stopped their wailing, and looked at Cain excitedly.


    Cain was satisfied with the crowd''s reaction and confidently said:


    "The time before the dungeon starts is limited, so I''ll make it brief and tell you some taboos."


    "First, never try to get close to the ghosts; you are food to them, and no one befriends their food."


    "Second, don''t refuse any requests from the ghosts. Even if they want your arm, hand it over immediately, or you''ll lose your life!"


    "Third, don''t break any rules, such as talking in ss, whispering, or notpleting homework. Breaking these rules is equivalent to giving the ghosts an excuse to devour you."


    "In short, remember that we are irresistible delicacies to the evil spirits of the thrilling world. They will find any excuse to devour us! Don''t give them a chance or an excuse. Rely on the protection of the rules, and we can survive!"


    Ding dong...


    As Cain was giving his warning, the ss bell rang.


    The sudden sound scared Cain into sitting down, and everyone else hurriedly straightened up.

 Chapter 3: Isn’t this worse than us ghosts?

    <h4>Chapter 3: Isn''t this worse than us ghosts?</h4>


    The arrangement of desks and chairs in the ssroom was quite interesting.


    There were four rows in total, each row seating three people.


    Apparently, it was intentional for them, the chosen ones, to all sit in the center, with two ghosts on either side.


    Alexander was no exception, with ghosts from the Blood Moon instance sitting to his left and right.


    The ghost on the right didn''t have any particr features, just a head of yellow hair and a rebellious air.


    The ghost on the left wore sses, looking like a weak but schrly student.


    However, as soon as he entered the ssroom, the whole room quieted down, and anyone could see that he was not simple.


    It seemed that all the ghosts were afraid of him.


    The yellow-haired delinquent returned to his seat and turned his head to look at Alexander with a creepy smile.


    The bespectacled top student nced at him, and the delinquent immediately shrank his neck and stopped smiling.


    However, his eyes were still greedily fixed on Alexander, asionally sticking out his exceptionally crimson tongue to lick the corner of his lips.


    Seeing these two troublesome characters sandwiching Alexander, the other chosen ones felt a mix of relief, sympathy, and even schadenfreude.


    Only Alexander felt somewhat tearful.


    He was so unlucky!


    On the right was a delinquent ghost, and on the left was a seemingly quiet and schrly ghost who was feared by all the other ghosts.


    It was as if he had left the house without checking his fortune!


    ncing at his own panel, he quietly activated his talent.


    Although he didn''t know what use it would be, it was better than having nothing!


    As his talent was activated, Alexander''s vision suddenly changed.


    Above the heads of both the ghosts and the chosen ones, faint red numbers appeared.


    The delinquent and most ghosts had either -1 or 0, while most of the chosen ones had 0 or 1, with only two of them having -1 above their heads.


    What were these numbers for? Levels? It didn''t seem like it!


    As Alexander puzzled, he heard a "plop" sound by his ear and looked down to see a ballpoint pen had fallen to the floor.


    With his head full of confusion, Alexander didn''t think much about it, bent down to pick up the pen, and handed it to the top student.


    Alexander''s action immediately startled the chosen ones present.


    After all, whether it was the information they had received about the horror instances before or the recent warning from the "expert" yer.


    In the instance world, it was best to stay as far away from ghosts as possible and not have any interaction with them.


    After all, you were food in their eyes, and not just any food, but extremely delicious food. Even if you approached them to please them, you would not be met with friendship and gratitude.


    Once your deliciousness was noticed, the oue was obvious, right?


    It wasn''t until Alexander had handed the pen to the top student that he realized his mistake, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.


    Fortunately, the top student just nced at him and silently took the ballpoint pen.


    Alexander breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky that it wasn''t a trap, and suddenly his eyes widened.


    He saw the number 0 above the top student''s head jump and change to 1.


    Could it be that these numbers represented favorability?


    He turned his head to look at the delinquent ghost.


    "What are you looking at!" The delinquent ghost red fiercely at Alexander, and the number above his head suddenly jumped, changing to -3.


    It was indeed favorability, and when it turned negative, it meant they had developed hostility towards him. Once the number reached a certain level, these ghosts would probably make their move.


    Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!


    Just as Alexander was rapidly analyzing the situation, a series of footsteps approached.


    Looking towards the door, the first thing that caught his eye was a slender, smooth, and beautiful white leg, adorned with a pair of eye-catching red high heels.


    The woman''s lower body was d in a tight ck mini skirt, and her upper body in a white short-sleeved t-shirt. She had exquisite and enchanting facial features and a stunning figure. She walked in, holding a ruler in her hand.


    In an instant, everyone''s eyes in the room were glued to her.


    Even the girls couldn''t resist her charm, let alone the boys.


    The enchanting young woman paused slightly, her beautiful eyes fixing on a male ghost closest to her. She shed an enchanting smile and seemed to feel hot, so she pinched her cor with her slender fingers and lifted it.


    "What are you looking at?"


    Her soft, enchanting voice echoed in their ears.


    "I..." The ghost suddenly reacted.


    This was a horror space after all!


    Immediately, cold sweat poured down his forehead like rain.


    "Ah!!"


    With a scream, the young woman retracted her hand and stuffed something into her mouth, chewing vigorously, mumbling:


    "This bursting sensation, truly an unparalleled delicacy!"


    Under the trembling gazes of the disciples, the young woman slowly walked to the podium and asked:


    "Have you allpleted the tasks assigned yesterday? If not, the punishment will be severe!"


    Tasks?


    The dozen chosen ones were shocked, and Alexander hurriedly flipped through the drawer.


    Fortunately, it seemed the horror world didn''t want to make things difficult for them; there was a notebook right on top of the drawer.


    Everyone, including Alexander, breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Tea...teacher..." A disciple nervously stood up, cautiously saying:


    "I forgot to bring my task."


    p!


    The female teacher swung her ruler and hit him hard...


    "ssmate, lend me your notebook!"


    In front of Alexander, a ghost student who hadn''tpleted the task looked at him in panic.


    That was a middle-aged man in his forties who shook his head when he heard the ghost student''s request. Seeing the consequences of not having a task to submit, he didn''t dare to lend it.


    "You''re not giving me any face, fellow disciple!"


    The ghost student''s face changed abruptly, his body enveloped in ck mist, and his facial features twisted into a monstrous visage, his mouth wide open.


    Immediately, screams of terror erupted.


    The first chosen one met his demise!


    That wasn''t the end; after biting the middle-aged man to death, the ghost student ced the man''s notebook on his own desk.


    Witnessing this, the other ghost students who hadn''t done their homework seemed inspired, and they all turned to their neighbors.


    Out of the 20 chosen ones, nine were targeted by the ghosts next to them.


    The female teacher calmly started collecting notebooks from the rightmost row. Anyone who didn''t submit one received a strike from her ruler.


    Those with good luck suffered from torn flesh, while those with bad luck had their entire arm turned into a bloody mist.


    Half of the chosen ones, including Alexander, faced the same predicament as the middle-aged man.


    "ssmate, lend me your task notebook!"


    he delinquent ghost smirked at Alexander, as if he would swallow Alexander''s head if he refused.


    Alexander looked up and, ording to the order in which the notebooks were being collected, he would be the third. However, the two behind him were fortunate enough not to encounter any ghost students asking to borrow their notebooks.


    Evidently, he would be thest unlucky one.


    One after another, the others reluctantly lent their notebooks.


    After all, getting hit with a ruler might cost an arm at worst.


    But refusing to lend the notebook would mean losing their heads!


    "Friend, lend me your notebook!"


    The delinquent ghost impatiently urged as the number above his head changed from -3 to -7.


    He probably wouldn''t be able to hold back much longer!


    Cold sweat dripped from Alexander''s forehead as his brain raced.


    Should he choose to lose his head or his hand? Was there really a choice to make?


    However, he was still somewhat unwilling to give in. After all, he wasn''t a ghost. It might be possible for him to recover a severed arm, but that would require a powerful ghostly entity.


    Without an arm, it would be uncertain whether he could even get out of this instance, let alone find a ghostly entity.


    His gaze swept across the room as the number above the delinquent ghost''s head changed to -9.


    Some of the chosen ones had already foreseen Alexander''s fate; some shook their heads and sighed, some gloated, and two young girls covered their eyes, unable to watch any longer.


    "You''re not giving me any face, fellow disciple!"


    The delinquent ghost''s voice came through, his body shrouded in ck mist, and his facial features began to twist, clearly ready to take action.


    Just then, Alexander suddenly turned around and pushed the top student wearing sses, who was engrossed in a book.


    The bespectacled student looked up at Alexander, puzzled.


    "Friend, he''s been asking to borrow your notebook for a while, but you haven''t responded. He''s getting angry!"


    The bespectacled student looked up and saw the monstrous, bloodthirsty mouth of the delinquent ghost.


    Instantly, blood-red pupils emerged from behind his sses.


    Rolling ck smoke, carrying a horrifying and chilling aura, quickly filled the entire room.


    Delinquent Ghost: ???


    Is this something a human would do?


    Isn''t this worse than us ghosts?

 Chapter 4: Rewarded

    <h4>Chapter 4: Rewarded</h4>


    "Mis...mis..."


    The delinquent ghost hurriedly closed his mouth to exin, but it was toote.


    Before the words "misunderstanding" could leave his mouth, the top student ghost suddenly swung his arm.


    That seemingly slender arm instantly turned into a skeletal ghost w, and in the next moment, the delinquent ghost was sted away, smashing through the ss and crashing into the wall on the other side.


    He was ttened, blood spattered all over the floor, and the ck mist was slow to recover.


    It was a good thing he was a ghost, or else, if he were a human, he would have turned into a liquid by now.


    The top student ghost retracted his ghost w, pushed up his sses, and continued studying.


    The number above his head changed from +1 to +5.


    Hey!


    Could reporting increase favorability?


    Alexander felt like he had discovered a new world!


    The other chosen ones in the ssroom were dumbstruck.


    Who would have thought there could be such a trick?


    This was too incredible!


    "Smash!"


    As Alexander marveled, the student ghost sitting in front of him suddenly turned around and stared fiercely at Alexander, saying:


    "How dare you set my little brother, Lei Hu, up!"


    Alexander was startled and instinctively looked at the top student ghost.


    "Calling him won''t help, this bookworm, others may be afraid of him, but I, Lei Long, am not!" The student ghost in front, Lei Long, said coldly.


    The chosen ones instantly broke into a cold sweat for Alexander again, even those who had previously gloated were no exception.


    It was too miserable, too unlucky, so unlucky that they couldn''t even bring themselves to gloat.


    They had just gotten rid of one ghost, only to find out that his brother was right in front of them.


    Lei Long, Lei Hu, they were real brothers.


    What was even worse was that Lei Long seemed to be much more powerful. Although he nced at the top student ghost with caution when he spoke, he wasn''t as fearful as the others.


    And the negative number above his head kept increasing, his pupils gradually turning blood-red, and blood vessels slowly squeezing out from his skin, like a bright red spider web.


    Now it was over. They were not afraid of the top student ghost, and even if they were wary of the top student ghost, killing this inconsiderate fellow would still be no problem.


    The chosen ones sighed secretly in their hearts.


    Alexander also felt a strong sense of impending doom.


    He had messed with the younger one...and set up the younger one, and now the older one was here.


    Isn''t this the plot of an invigorating novel? Even in your creepy, ghostly world, you''ve learned this trick?


    Will there be a ghost grandfatherter?


    Alexander couldn''t help but grumble in his mind, but he didn''t hesitate at all.


    He didn''t want to be eaten. Even though he couldn''t win, he had just made a surprising little discovery.


    At that moment, Alexander raised his hand abruptly:


    "Teacher, Lei Long is disturbing my deskmate and me from studying!"


    The teacher, who was flipping through the assignments, raised her head, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Lei Long with her beautiful eyes.


    Lei Long was stunned, ring at Alexander:


    "When did you start studying?"


    You were busy setting me up and just happened to hand in an assignment. What did you learn?


    Deception practice? You''re really good at this!


    Alexander didn''t care about these things. He sat up straight, his left palm t on the table, his right elbow resting on the front part of the table at the tips of his left fingers, and the upper half of his right arm and palm raised vertically.


    In the most standard posture, he said:


    "Teacher, he''s disturbing our studies right in front of you! Look, my deskmate can''t even concentrate on the problems anymore!"


    Lei Long nced at the top student and sure enough, during a math ss, the top student was working on a chemistry problem from who knows where.


    Damn!


    His writing was so fluent, there was no sign of being disturbed.


    Lei Long went crazy, a torrent of ghostly energy spewing out like a fire extinguisher, obviously intending to fight Alexander to the death.


    "Student, disturbing your deskmate is not good behavior!"


    The teacher''s beautiful face revealed a sweet and gentle smile.


    It was as if she was a patient and beautiful music teacher from elementary school or a kind and pretty aunt from kindergarten.


    Of course, if she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, she would look even more like one.


    The surging ghostly energy came to an abrupt halt, and Lei Long stiffly turned around.


    "Let me think, what should I punish you with? Never mind, I''ll just throw a chalk head as a small warning!"


    The teacher continued to smile gently, brilliantly sweet.


    Bang!


    The next moment, a piece of chalk shot out like a bullet.


    Boom!


    Lei Long''s entire head exploded, and suddenly it rained in half of the ssroom.


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    Not only the chosen ones but even the ghost students were stunned. Even those who were drenched in the rain had a dazed look on their faces, not bothering to wipe themselves clean.


    The chosen ones were scared, but if they had such a teacher in their childhood, wouldn''t they all be Harvard material?


    Provided they survive, of course.


    As for the ghost students, their scalps tingled one by one.


    Amazing!


    Alexander was too amazing!


    His brilliance made several ghosts in the back row want to cut off their heads to help boost the show.


    No one expected Alexander to use the ultimate killer move that terrified everyone from kindergarten to middle school students¡ªtelling the teacher!


    Although it wasn''t calling parents, it wasn''t far off.


    This divine operation...


    It was so amazing that everyone, no, everyone and all the ghosts, had tingling scalps.


    Alexander, however, remained calm. He was well prepared, not only covering himself with his school uniform jacket but also covering his deskmate.


    The headless ghost corpse recovered slower than its younger brother outside, and it seemed that it might not grow a head for a whole day.


    Alexander grabbed the corpse and threw it out of the window with great force, then nodded in satisfaction:


    "That''s right, a ghost family should die neat and tidy!"


    Wasn''t Alexander afraid?


    Of course, he was afraid, but after experiencing countless videos in this world and being well prepared, his endurance was naturally strong.


    More importantly, the numbers above the female teacher and the top student ghost''s heads changed!


    The female teacher''s number changed from 0 to +2.


    What was even more terrifying was the top student ghost. It was unknown whether it was because he had set up a ghost who dared not give him face or because he had blocked the falling blood rain himself.


    ording to Alexander''s consideration, it was thetter. In any case, this time, the favorability above the top student ghost''s head directly became 15.


    A whole 10 points added!


    "Thank you!"


    A miraculous scene appeared: the top student ghost, who had been silent from the beginning and hadn''t even looked up when throwing Lei Hu out, actually raised his head and said thank you to Alexander.


    "No need to thank me! I was just afraid of getting our textbooks dirty. Studyes first, helping you block it was just a side thing!" Alexander said with a faint smile.


    Being the Earth''s top sales trainer and the Blue Star''s social prince wasn''t just for show; Alexander naturally knew what to say to whom, cater to their preferences, and indirect persuasion was always more eptable than straightforward ttery.


    Sure enough, the number above the top student ghost''s head changed again:


    +20


    Amid the admiring and worshipful or horrified gazes of everyone and every ghost, Alexander, disregarding the blood-soaked jacket, sat back in his seat.


    "If I were you, I''d take advantage of that kid''s absence to search his desk hole!" The voice of the top student ghost reached Alexander''s ear. Alexander turned his head abruptly, and the top student ghost was also lowering his head to do the problems, as if everything just now had been an illusion.


    Was this the effect of favorability?


    A smile appeared at the corner of Alexander''s mouth, and without hesitation, he reached into the desk hole next to him to search.


    As soon as his hand entered the desk hole, Alexander felt the sharp edge of a de.

 Chapter 5: I’m envious of your intelligent brain

    <h4>Chapter 5: I''m envious of your intelligent brain</h4>


    Taking the de out, he ced it in front of him to observe.


    It was just a fruit knife, somewhat sharp, but nothing special. Alexander couldn''t help but sigh.


    In the thrilling world, besides a few items with special functions, one could directly see the properties of their ghost items.


    When would it be considered one''s own? Nonsense, the owner of this fruit knife was smashed into pieces and hadn''t recovered yet.


    Since the item had reached his hands, it naturally belonged to him!


    However, without revealing any properties, it meant that this was just an ordinary item; no matter how sharp, it would have no effect on evil ghosts.


    "Poor thing!" Alexander couldn''t help but curse quietly. After all, he was a ghost, yet he couldn''t even afford the most basic ghost knife.


    Continuing to search in the tree hole, after turning it upside down, Alexander finally found something useful.


    Hadmen Cigarettes


    Grade: Evil Spirit Level Ghost Item


    Function: Ordinary people can calm their minds and strengthen their souls by smoking, while ghost items below the evil spirit level can increase their strength, and evil spirit-level ghost items can be used to stabilize and restore the ghost body.


    Note: Smoking a Hadmen cigarette makes you a social person. The attractiveness of cigarettes to ghosts is second only to that of ingots and candles, especially when ites to evil spirit-level cigarettes. Don''t let other ghosts see them.


    Ghost item! And it exceeded the resentful spirit level, reaching the evil spirit level!


    Alexander''s heart was delighted, and he could feel that the cigarette had just been opened not long ago, with only two missing. Great stuff! Without a second thought, Alexander took it.


    It was interesting that the delinquent ghost used an evil spirit-level cigarette while not even bothering with a resentful spirit-level fruit knife. A future talent in the underworld! Potential stock!


    After storing the cigarettes, Alexander sat down and started listening to the ss. The rest of the ss went smoothly, with the beautiful teacher on stage lecturing diligently and the students, both real and fake, listening attentively.


    The second ss was history, taught by an old man covered in green spots, who trembled as he walked and spoke slowly, as if he needed to catch his breath and rest after each word.


    Simrly, the ss went smoothly without any incidents.


    Just as the chosen ones thought the morning, or perhaps the day, would continue like this, an ident urred.


    One ss was 40 minutes long, plus a 10-minute break, making two sses nearly two hours long.


    The problem was that the thrilling world''s selection was random. Not only students but even the elderly could be chosen. Inevitably, people would have urgent needs, especially those who were older or had prostate issues.


    Knowing that it was a ghost college and that danger awaited them outside the ssroom, they had no choice but to go. They couldn''t just relieve themselves anywhere.


    In the real world, there were cases of people being beaten to death for defecating in public ces, let alone in a replica.


    Gradually, the chosen ones couldn''t hold it any longer and went to the restroom. Four people left in total, but when the ss bell rang, less than two people returned.


    The reason for saying less than two was because one of them had lost a hand. The other was even worse, not only were both arms gone, but his nose seemed to have been bitten off by some beast, and his face was covered in blood.


    This unlucky child was none other than Cain, the guy who had imed to be a veteran at the beginning.


    However, Cain indeed was a veteran, and he used some treasure to stop the bleeding and managed to return alive.


    The remaining chosen ones wanted to ask what had happened, but at that moment, the bell for the next ss rang, so they had to give up on their inquiries.


    The third period was a self-study ss, and a bald male teacher came in, said a few words, and then left the ssroom.


    Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire ssroom became eerie.


    Although the teachers on the podium were also ghosts, aside from the beautiful female teacher who had initially performed a horrifying act by popping out her eyeballs, exploding her arm, and removing her hand, they hadn''t done any harm to the chosen ones afterward.


    Instead, a ghost student had directly bitten off a head under the pretext of borrowing homework, killing one of the chosen ones.


    "ssmate..." Sure enough, as soon as the teacher left the ssroom, a ghost student sitting behind Alexander turned to look at a chosen one sitting behind him.


    She was a girl around eighteen or neen years old, in the prime of her youth.


    Her delicate features, rosy lips, white teeth, slender and fair legs revealed under a gray-white denim miniskirt, and long, straight ck hair tied up with a pink floral hairband exuded youthfulness from head to toe.


    However, at this moment, under the ghost student''s gaze, her face turned pale, and her bright, clear eyes seemed to plead for help as she looked towards Alexander sitting in front of her.


    The girl was very beautiful and pitiable, and her eyes seemed to speak, allowing Alexander to instantly understand what she meant.


    "Save me, I can do anything for you, from front to back!" Faced with such a youthful and beautiful girl and such pitiable eyes, Alexander''s choice was naturally to ignore her without hesitation.


    This was a horror world, not a dating game! In this ce, everyone was struggling to survive, and saving a damsel in distress was not an option.


    "You... What do you need?" The girl, failing to get help, nervously asked the ghost student.


    "ssmate, I want to ask you a question!" The ghost student said, holding up his notebook.


    It was a simple linear equation with two variables, something that any elementary school student could easily solve. The girl breathed a sigh of relief, exined the problem diligently to the ghost student, and didn''t dare to ck off.


    She was clearly an outstanding student. Her exnation was clear and easy to understand, even better than many teachers. After finishing the problem and seeing the ghost student nodding repeatedly, the girl finally rxed.


    "You''re really good at exining things. You''re so smart!" The ghost student praised.


    "It''s nothing, really!" The girl modestly and shyly smiled, seemingly forgetting the environment she was in for a moment.


    "You''re so smart! I''m envious of your intelligent brain..." The ghost student seemed not to have heard her modesty, and continued to praise her.


    Then, as if struck by an idea, he excitedly grabbed the girl''s hand and eximed, "That''s it! Since your brain is so smart and mine is so dumb, why not swap them? If I put your brain on my neck, I could be as smart as you!"


    At these words, Alexander and the other chosen ones were left dumbfounded. This guy was quite the cunning little ghost!


    "No!" The girl finally realized what was happening, and tried to run away in fear as the ghost student''s aura turned dark.


    However, her hand was tightly grasped by the cunning ghost, who, like Columbus discovering a new continent, excitedly grabbed his own hair and yanked it hard.


    His head came off, and he stuffed it into the girl''s arms. The disembodied mouth continued to open and close, still talking:

 Chapter 6: Dangerous toilets

    <h4>Chapter 6: Dangerous toilets</h4>


    "ssmate, I''ll give you this head, and I''ll borrow yours!" The ghost then reached out to grab the head of the terrified, screaming girl.


    In the ssroom, a rain of blood fell from the sky again. No one knew how the student ghost managed to do it, but suddenly, he really did pull off the girl''s head and ced it on his own neck.


    A puff of ck smoke shed across the neck, and a strangely beautiful head of a female student appeared on the male student ghost''s neck.


    The head swayed back and forth, making the same voice as the girl just now, a surprised sound: "I feel like I''ve really be smarter!"


    This bizarre scene sent chills down Alexander''s spine.


    The student ghost swung the mismatched head, scanning the room with his gaze. The chosen ones avoided his gaze until it finally fell on Alexander.


    Alexander was scared too! A fourteen or fifteen-year-old male middle school student, with the head of an eighteen or neen-year-old beautiful girl on his neck, staring at him, who wouldn''t be terrified? Especially when the head had just been removed from someone else''s body.


    But Alexander knew that fear was useless, and he still had a trump card.


    "ssmate!" Seeing the student ghost''s smile, Alexander nodded right away: "I understand, you have a problem, right? You don''t know the answer, do you?"


    The student ghost didn''t expect Alexander to guess the question and hesitated for a moment. Before the ghost could speak, Alexander patted the top student ghost next to him on the shoulder, as if he understood, and said:


    "If you have a question you don''t know how to answer, it''s easy! Let me introduce you to my big brother, the strongest top student in our ss! Just ask him any questions, and he''ll help you out. Look at the one outside the window, and from now on, your parents won''t have to worry about your studies!"


    The student ghost was dumbfounded, watching the bespectacled top student ghost slowly raise his head, put down his pen, and turn around with his eyes full of confusion: "Do you have a question?"


    "No! Absolutely not!" The student ghost shook his head frantically, as if he wanted to shake off the head he just put on, waving his hands while saying: "I have no questions. I just wanted to tell this ssmate to study hard. How can you always look back during a self-study session?"


    The top student ghost nodded, then looked at Alexander. All the chosen ones felt tense for Alexander. After all, this was a ghost! You keep taking advantage of him, and it would be strange if he didn''t get angry.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, the top student ghost actually said: "If he has any questionster, just call me!"


    "Alright!" Alexander quickly agreed.


    His social skills were so powerful that they were out of this world! He didn''t expect that a 20% affinity could make the top student ghost warn others for him. What if it was 50 or even 100% affinity?


    Everyone else stared in amazement at this scene. Was this guy meeting his long-lost brother? No one had ever heard of encountering a ghostly rtive in a horror world!


    But if not a rtive, why would he be so helpful? This was too much favoritism!


    "Damn, why can''t I have such an awesome deskmate?" A chosen one in a suit and tie muttered enviously not far away. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his deskmate handed him a notebook: "ssmate, can you exin this question to me?"


    "This..." The man in the suit turned pale instantly.


    It was also a quadratic equation, and it seemed a bit simpler.


    Although they had returned all their school materials to the teachers, they had once studied these topics, and solving such a simple equation shouldn''t be a problem for adults who could rely on their logic and memories.


    Seeing the consequences of the girl who had tried to answer the question, the man in the suit dared not exin the problem. He awkwardly chuckled and said, "I''m sorry, I don''t know how to do it either. Why don''t you ask someone else?"


    Upon hearing this, the man''s desk mate''s face changed, and his body emitted a surge of dark energy.


    "Fool, you don''t even know such a simple thing. What do you need this trashy brain for? Let me help you throw it away!" And with that, he extended his ghostly white ws.


    Crack!


    A head the size of a fist flew into the air andnded urately in the trash can in the corner of the ssroom.


    Damn it!


    There was no way out!


    The faces of a group of Chosen Ones turned green.


    Teaching a problem led to having one''s head removed and reced by another.


    Not teaching a problem led to having one''s head thrown into the trash. Why do you love learning so much?


    Adding to the one who had his head bitten off at the beginning and the one who went to the bathroom and never returned, a total of five people had died.


    There were only eight lessons and a lunch break in a day, and just after three lessons, five of the twenty Chosen Ones had already died.


    Of the remaining fifteen, six or seven had missing limbs.


    "ssmate!"


    Another voice rang out, sending shivers down everyone''s spine.


    Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw that Cain''s face had lost all its color.


    To his left, a petite female student with braided pigtails was handing over her notebook expectantly.


    "I... I..."


    The veteran who had lost both arms and even had his nose chewed off didn''t know what to do, his face full of fear.


    Ding-a-ling...


    Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of ss.


    "ss is over!"


    A cheer erupted in the ssroom, and more than half of the ghost students, including the one with braided pigtails, ran out in an instant.


    "Phew..."


    Barely escaping with his life, Cain took deep, gasping breaths.


    "Man, you''re really lucky!"


    "That was so close! I could see the ghostly aura on that female ghost. If it were a littleter, she might have attacked you!"


    Several Chosen Ones immediately gathered around, offering their congrattions.


    Cain had indeed narrowly escaped death, and he couldn''t help but feel grateful. "Bro, what did you encounter when you went out?" The first Chosen One to approach asked.


    In such a precarious ce, no one had the time to genuinely celebrate for someone else. They gathered around for a reason, and it wasn''t as simple as marveling at Cain''s good fortune.


    It was already the third lesson, and the long time had naturally taken its toll on some people, as evidenced by one Chosen One''s tightly clenched legs.


    Mentioning his experience during the break, Cain''s face instantly turned pale, and his voice trembled, "Never go to the restroom, never!


    Even if you have to wet your pants, don''t think about going to the restroom."


    Cain''s terrified expression sent chills down everyone''s spines.


    "What on earth is in the restroom? Cain is a veteran, right? He wasn''t even this scared when he was almost decapitated by his desk mate just now!"


    "Four people went out and only two came back, both with missing arms or hands. It''s obvious that there must be something even more terrifying in the restroom! I''m d I went to the bathroom before I came here!"


    "I''m d my prostate is fine!"


    "I''m d I''m on my period!"


    "I''m d I was so scared that I already finished!"


    ...


    The group was relieved that they hadn''t gone out recklessly, and even the guy clenching his legs sat back down, gritting his teeth.


    "Wait, have any of you seen that lucky guy?"


    The lucky guy they referred to was naturally Alexander.


    "He seemed to leave as soon as ss ended. It looked like he couldn''t hold it any longer and didn''t hear Cain warning..."


    Someone spoke up, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.


    There was no top student ghost in the restroom. That lucky Chosen One was probably in big trouble now!

 Chapter 7: School restrooms are for smoking

    <h4>Chapter 7: School restrooms are for smoking</h4>


    This was a deste and dpidated school, with a solitary three-story teaching building. Everywhere was in ruins, with most of the ss shattered.


    The walls, once painted white, had turned gray after countless years of exposure to the elements. Large patches of wall paint had bubbled up and even fallen off.


    Dark red traces were scattered haphazardly on the walls and the ground, as if countless mischievous children had thrown tomato sauce everywhere.


    The sky was also gloomy, as if it had been painted with ayer of gray. The midday sun appeared as though it was coated with a filter, not ring but instead radiating a sense of coldness.


    Cold gusts of wind brushed against Alexander''s cheeks. The ground was cracked everywhere, and asionally, small, tenacious nts would sprout from the cement fissures, but for some reason, they had withered and turned yellow.


    Even though it was broad daylight, this environment was far more thrilling than a haunted house.


    The chilling wind kept blowing, making Alexander feel uneasy and somewhat regretful.


    It was just a trip to the restroom. Wasn''t the trash can behind the ssroom good enough? With his big brother covering him, who could do anything to him?


    There was no turning back now, so he decided to make it quick.


    For some unknown reason, the restrooms were located in a corner of the campus, separated from the teaching building by a sports field.


    On the sports field, even though it wasn''t yet autumn, the ground was covered with yellowing grass. The grass grew wildly, with taller patches reaching up to the calf.


    As the chilly wind blew, the yellow grass swayed, asionally revealing the bones hidden beneath.


    As Alexander approached the restroom, he heardughter and chewing noises, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.


    Compared to ghosts, this environment was clearly more challenging for him to adapt to.


    At the entrance of the restroom, there were several guys with colorful hair, wearing studded jackets, as if they wanted everyone to know they were non-mainstream punks.


    One of them had a buzz cut, with a few dyed yellow strands long enough to touch his nose. In his hand, he was holding a blood-drenched arm.


    The chewing noise came from him.


    There were two others ¨C one with red hair, cradling a woman''s head in his arms, tearing away at the bloody head with strands of long hair, including the scalp, scattered around.


    The other had long purple hair, using something like a toothpick to clean his teeth. In the gaps between his teeth, faint traces of blood could be seen.


    Ghostly non-mainstream punks!


    The only rtively normal one was the guy standing on the edge of the flower bed, holding a baseball bat in his hand.


    He was clearly their leader, as the other three showed great respect for him. Their eyes kept falling on the baseball bat, and their bodies would shiver involuntarily, clearly terrified.


    On the groundy two corpses, gnawed down to their bones. Through the tattered clothing, one could vaguely recognize that they were the two who had gone to the restroom during thest break and never returned.


    "Hehehe..."


    Upon seeing Alexander, the guy holding an arm in his hand let out a weirdugh, like a drake''s, viciously biting arge chunk of flesh off the arm.


    Then, smirking, he said to Alexander:


    "More food has arrived! Little flesh worm! You have to pay a fee to use our restroom here! Let me think, do you want to leave a leg or two arms behind?"


    No wonder everyone who came to the restroom was missing arms or legs ¨C they were being charged!


    In this terrifying world, it was unthinkable that using a public restroom could cost an arm or a leg.


    Without further ado, Alexander shook his head and firmly said, "I''m not here to use the restroom!"


    It wasn''t that he didn''t want to, but he couldn''t afford to!


    "Not using it?" The punks didn''t look disappointed at all but instead smiled simultaneously.


    The purple-haired ghost stuck out his crimson tongue, licking his lips and said sinisterly, "If you''re not here to use the restroom, what are you here for? To eat?"


    "Worm, think carefully before you speak!" The red-haired ghost pointed at the male corpse on the ground and said, "He came here to eat, and we fed him a whole squat pit. He died from overeating, poor thing!"


    "Hehe... The consequences of lying to us aren''t something you, a little flesh worm, can bear! So... think carefully whether you want to use this restroom or not!" The yellow-haired ghost chuckled sinisterly and spoke with his raspy voice.


    Was this a restroom with a rule that you had to use it once you entered?


    Alexander''s brain worked rapidly, his eyes sweeping over the several ghosts present.


    Yellow-haired ghost -5


    Purple-haired ghost +1


    Red-haired ghost +2


    Baseball ghost +5


    When he saw the obviously dominant baseball ghost with a +5 favorability rating above his head, Alexander felt relieved.


    "Humble flesh worm! Speak! If you''re not here to use the restroom, why are you here?" The yellow-haired ghost persisted, and his favorability rating decreased by another point. The purple-haired ghost''s favorability rating also changed from 1 to 0.


    Clearly, at this rate, the yellow-haired ghost would take action in just a few more exchanges.


    "Who says restrooms are only for using! This is a school restroom!"


    With a n in mind, Alexander remained calm andposed. He took out a pack of Hardeman cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, ced it in his mouth, and lit it skillfully with a lighter. He then said nonchntly:


    "School restrooms are for smoking, aren''t they? Did you alle here just to use the restroom before?"


    As he spoke, Alexander''s disdainful gaze swept over each of the ghosts, filled with contempt and mockery.


    It was like the superior delinquent student looking down on ordinary delinquent students, as if pointing at their noses and mocking: "You guys can''t be good students, can you?"


    This was a critical hit!


    The ghosts looked at Alexander with eyes like those of a top student gazing upon a genius, involuntarily feeling some admiration.


    The favorability ratings of the three ghosts with positive ratings suddenly skyrocketed by five points.


    Of course, not all of them felt that way. The yellow-haired ghost''s favorability rating turned into a negative ten, and his face was full of jealousy and resentment.


    "Bro, where did you get this great stuff?" The baseball ghost, who hadn''t spoken until now, stepped forward curiously.


    "It took me a great deal of effort to get this, and it''s the only pack I have!" Alexander took a deep drag, exhaled a cool smoke ring, and said proudly.


    Upon hearing that it was the only pack, the ghosts'' eyes shed with disappointment. The yellow-haired and red-haired ghosts even showed a fleeting hint of cruelty.


    Next, Alexander suddenly pped the baseball ghost on the shoulder andughed, "Big bro, I think we have a connection! I don''t mind giving you a few!"


    Saying that, Alexander casually handed over two cigarettes.


    Being pped on the shoulder by Alexander, the baseball ghost''s body immediately emitted ck energy.


    Clearly, a favorability rating of ten points was not enough for Alexander to make such an intimate gesture, let alone calling him "big bro."


    How could he save face if he didn''t teach this little worm a lesson?


    The baseball ghost was seething with anger, and a burst of ghostly energy surged from his body. Then, he saw the cigarettes Alexander handed over.


    Instantly, the ghostly energy dissipated without a trace, and he eagerly took the two cigarettes¡ªone he tucked behind his ear and the other he put in his mouth for Alexander to light. He took a deep drag.


    Damn...

 Chapter 8: We are all brothers

    <h4>Chapter 8: We are all brothers</h4>


    Favorability +20


    Two cigarettes, and the favorability rating surprisingly increased by twenty points!


    With a favorability rating of twenty points, the top student ghost had already helped Alexander once. Now that the baseball ghost''s favorability rating had soared to 30 points, what benefits would there be?


    Alexander couldn''t help but feel excited.


    "Boss!" The yellow-haired ghost approached the baseball ghost and red at Alexander fiercely.


    His favorability towards Alexander had reached -20 points, and even the purple-haired and red-haired ghosts'' favorability ratings had dropped to negative numbers.


    It was evident that they were upset that Alexander didn''t give them cigarettes, but Alexander didn''t care. He focused on capturing the leader, not caring about these little minions.


    Just then, the yellow-haired ghost said, "Boss, this guy got some good stuff from somewhere. If we take him down, wouldn''t that stuff be ours? He''s just a little worm!"


    The baseball ghost''s gaze flickered with struggle, but he shook his head after a moment, "Don''t talk nonsense. We gangsters value loyalty the most! We can''t disregard loyalty and righteousness just for a pack of cigarettes!"


    The baseball ghost spoke with an air of righteousness, but Alexander rolled his eyes internally.


    The top student ghost had helped him with just a favorability rating of twenty points, but this guy, with a rating of thirty, was tempted by the yellow-haired ghost''s proposal.


    He really wasn''t a good guy!


    Although he thought this way in his heart, Alexander didn''t show it on his face. Instead, he said excitedly, "Little bro, you''re truly a gangster! You value loyalty and don''t covet wealth. You''re like Jimmy Conway reincarnated!"


    "Who''s Jimmy Conway?" The baseball ghost asked, slightly puzzled.


    Alexander then realized that there were no gangsters in this world, let alone in this horror world. Even people outside wouldn''t know who Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito were.


    So, Alexander sat on a stone ledge and began to tell the baseball ghost stories about gangsters.


    Cheers and apuse kepting, and the ghosts listened with boiling blood.


    These stories were tailor-made for these delinquent ghosts. As he told the stories, their favorability ratings increased like crazy.


    +5


    +10


    +7


    ...


    By the time Alexander finished the gangster stories, the baseball ghost''s favorability rating had reached 59 points.


    Red-haired ghost: 27 points.


    Purple-haired ghost: 30 points.


    Only the yellow-haired ghost not only didn''t increase his favorability rating, but it even dropped by five points. He looked at Alexander with a resentful gaze and said, "What gangsters? I think you just made it up. We''ve never heard of them!"


    "Big bro!"


    Alexander ignored the yellow-haired ghost and looked at the baseball ghost, saying, "That baseball bat of yours is pretty impressive. Can I take a look at it?"


    If it had been before, Alexander''s words would have undoubtedly angered the baseball ghost.


    But now, with a favorability rating as high as 59 points, the baseball ghost didn''t hesitate to hand over his baseball bat to Alexander, boasting, "Little bro, this is a good thing, not worse than your cigarettes! Back in the day, I wielded it in the school, and it''s been stained with countless blood."


    Alexander quickly took it, and immediately, an attribute emerged in his mind.


    Blood-stained Baseball Bat


    Grade: Vengeful Spirit Level Ghost Item


    Description: This is a school bully''s baseball bat, stained with the blood and resentment of hundreds of weak students. Infused with ghostly energy, it can cause substantial damage to ghosts.


    Awesome!


    Alexander''s heart was startled. What did it mean to cause substantial damage to a ghost?


    Just look at the previous two who were crushed by the top student ghost and had their heads blown off by the female teacher.


    Ghosts are not physical entities. Low-level ghosts can be hurt by ordinary attacks, but the damage is minimal, and they will eventually recover as if they have an immortal body.


    But using a ghost item is different. If the female head teacher''s ruler is a ghost item, the student ghost with a broken arm would be permanently disabled without any recovery items.


    If the chalk head is a ghost item, the exploding head of Lei Long would result in immediate death rather than slow recovery.


    "Boss, this is your weapon! How can you give it to this kid!"


    Seeing that the boss had given Alexander even the baseball bat, Yellow Hair was immediately anxious and blurted out:


    "This kid must have made up the story he just told!"


    Bang!


    As soon as Yellow Hair''s voice fell, a loud noise came. Alexander''s baseball bat in his hand mmed down on Yellow Hair''s head, sending him flying.


    Seeing several ghosts looking at him, Alexander said somewhat embarrassedly:


    "I was itching to try it. I didn''t expect it to be quite useful!"


    Saying that, holding the baseball bat again, he went up and aimed at Yellow Hair''s head, smashing it down with another blow.


    This wasn''t the end. Alexander followed one blow with another, smashing and shouting angrily:


    "Fake? How dare you say the gangster story is fake? Do you think your big brother in your heart is fake too?"


    "You''re a traitor in the gang. In the future, the big brother will be like a godfather, a big shot, and you, a traitor, must not be spared!"


    Bang!


    With thest blow on Yellow Hair''s forehead, he instantly turned into rolling ck smoke, leaving only a pile of bone ash on the ground.


    Baseball Ghost was originally nning to stop it, but after hearing Alexander''s words, he paused, his mind filled with gangs and godfathers.


    It seemed... to make some sense!


    "Big brother, I''ve already dealt with the traitor for you!"


    Alexander handed the baseball bat in his hand to Baseball Ghost. The bat was once again stained with blood, with red and yellow liquid slowly dripping down.


    "Good! Good! Good!"


    Baseball Ghost was extremely excited and didn''t care where Yellow Hair had betrayed him. He patted Alexander''s shoulder excitedly and said:


    "Little brother, well done! I''ve decided that I''m going to take my brothers and conquer the world. Bloody Moon High School is too small; I want to be the top boss of Bloody Moon Town, even the gang leader of the entire horror world. Little brother, follow me! From now on, I''ll be Jimmy Conway, and you''ll be Tommy DeVito! This baseball bat is yours!"


    "Godfather!"


    The two subordinates, Red Hair and Purple Hair, bowed to the two without hesitation.


    "Haha, no need for that, we are all brothers, all brothers!"


    Baseball Ghost... no, he should be called Godfather now,ughed heartily, looking like he was ready to be the boss and godfather from today on.


    Was this the effect of listening to the story?


    Alexander was speechless for a moment, but he certainly couldn''t go with them.


    He had never heard of anyone leaving a dungeon when it was activated and still managing to get out alive.


    Of course, he couldn''t say this directly. Who knew if these people had been so captivated by the story that they had forgotten he was a living person from outside? What if saying it outright reminded them?


    Immediately, he put the baseball bat into his item bar and then, with a righteous tone, shook his head:


    "Jimmy Conway, I can''t leave. This is our foundation, and only with me staying behind can we keep a retreat route for our brothers. Jimmy Conway, go ahead and venture out! From now on, this will be our backup base. As long as I am here, there is nothing to fear about having no way back!"


    "Isn''t that unfair to you?" Jimmy Conway hesitated.


    "Not at all. It''s my duty to contribute to the big brother. I just hope that when you be sessful and famous, don''t forget me, Tommy DeVito!" Alexander said,pletely immersed in the role.


    "Jimmy Conway!"


    "Tommy DeVito!"


    The two looked at each other with deep affection, their tear-filled eyes filled with emotion.


    At the same time, a prompt message emerged in Alexander''s mind:


    "Affection level reached 60 points. Special effect of the skill ''Unimpeded Charm Syndrome in Social Communication'' triggered! Reward obtained..."

 Chapter 9: Awards

    <h4>Chapter 9: Awards</h4>


    "Affinity reaches 60 points, the special effect of the skill ''Unobstructed Social Communication Charm Syndrome'' is triggered!


    Rewards received: Ghost Qi +10, Ghost Coins +100, Tombstone Rose +1, and Joss Paper +10."


    A social prowess certificate can also trigger rewards?


    Alexander suddenly felt delighted in his heart.


    In the horror world''s instances, there are no rewards or missions for neers entering the instance for the first time; it''s considered a test.


    Only after passing the test can one be considered a true chosen one.


    Under normal circumstances, such as Alexander''s second participation in the instance, entering the restroom here would definitely count as a side mission or even a hidden mission.


    However, for novice instances, there is usually only one mission: to survive.


    After all, for neers who participate in the horror world for the first time, it''s already good if they aren''t frightened to the point of their legs going weak; survival is a luxury.


    What Alexander didn''t expect was that he could receive rewards without encountering side missions, just by increasing his affinity.


    This is equivalent to saying that Alexander has an extra mission systempared to others.


    No! It should be an unlimited mission system!


    Others enter the instance and can barelyplete the main mission; if they trigger andplete one or two side missions, they are considered true experts.


    As for hidden missions, it''s not easy to trigger them, let alone the difficulty.


    But affinity is different; the horror worldcks everything except ghosts to increase affinity.


    Just one brother, with an affinity of 60, gave Alexander so many rewards.


    What if it were a top student ghost or female teacher? With so many ghosts in the ss, there must be at least seven or eight with positive affinity, and even more with zero.


    As long as there''s enough time, these are all rewards!


    What does it mean to have countless more side mission rewards than others?


    Moreover, this is just a 60 affinity reward. What if it reaches 80? Are the rewardsparable to the main mission? What about 100? Is there an extra hidden mission?


    "Horror world, huh, I thought it was a horror game, but it turned out to be a friendship and development game."


    Bidding farewell to the reluctant Jimmy Conway brother, Alexander walked towards the teaching building while checking his rewards.

    Tombstone Rose


    Grade: Evil Spirit


    Introduction: He and she are a pair of lovers who are inseparable until death. They have simr experiences and the same hobbies. His favorite is a rusty boning knife, while her favorite is a bright fire axe.


    They fell in love in a restaurant, their passion ignited at the dining table, and finally, they gave each other their ultimate happiness.


    He loved her so much that he decided to give her the most beautiful gift of time. Under the locust tree at the entrance of the vige, he carefully buried rose seeds.


    From that day on, vultures never left the locust tree at the vige entrance. A monthter, bright roses broke through the soil, but they remained in the shape of buds. He understood that this most beautiful rose of time was stillcking the nourishment of love. So, he ced the flowers on their house.


    Overnight, a dazzling sea of red roses bloomed, bing the symbol of love in the world of horror.


    Function: In the world of horror, who can resist this rose symbolizing sweet and lovely love? Give it to any evil spirit or ghoul, and you will gain the friendship of the ghoul. If the target is a female ghoul, there is a tiny chance of winning love.


    Boning knife? Fire axe? Restaurant table? And a vulture that stayed for a month? Goodness! What a symbol of sweet love!


    Alexander felt chills down his spine, and after some horrifying thoughts, he quickly put away the rose. He didn''t mention the paper money, as it seemed to be only useful for ghosts and goblins.


    This tomb rose, with its ghastly grade, was no simple item. Combined with the terrifying introduction, it was obviously much better than cigarettes and baseball bats.


    In addition, there were one hundred ghost coins and ghost energy rewards. Ghost coins are the universal currency of the horror world. Some instancessting several days or even more than ten days usually have food for sale, which is naturally bought with ghost coins.


    Besides, in instances like this school one, if there are many people or itsts a long time, the canteen and grocery store are fully stocked, and there are plenty of ces to use ghost coins. Some instances even cover entire towns.


    In those types of instances, ghost items are sold directly, and ghost coins are never enough. Alexander had not studied ghost energy much, and there was little information online. But it is said that this is the real foundation for transcending ordinary people. Only those who have experienced two or three instances or outstanding chosen ones can obtain it.


    Alexander closed his eyes and felt as if a cold gas had been added to his body, constantly improving his constitution. With a thought, the cold air circted throughout his body, and he felt as if he had escaped from several times the gravity, feeling incredibly light and rxed. Clenching his fists, a terrifying sense of power filled him, as if he could kill a cow with one punch.


    Of course, this was just Alexander''s illusion. But even so, his strength had probably increased by more than 30-40%.


    Ghost energy, the symbol of transcendence, was indeed extraordinary as the biggest reliance for humans to survive in the horror world.


    He spent more than an hour in the bathroom, taking an hour to tell stories and coaxing the baseball ghost into bing Brother Jimmy Conway. When Alexander returned to the ssroom, the fourth ss had long ended, and it was now lunch break.


    There were still more than a dozen student ghosts in the ssroom, all sleeping on their desks. The blood on the floor had thickened again. In this ss without Alexander, three more chosen ones had died. Including Alexander, there were only twelve people left.


    Alexander''s appearance caused a stir among the remaining chosen ones in the ssroom. They had heard about the danger in the bathroom and, seeing that Alexander hadn''t returned for an entire ss, thought he had been killed by the malicious ghost there.


    "Run!" As Alexander walked towards his seat, a chosen one nearby kept signaling to him and pointed at his seat. Alexander looked in the direction of the voice and finally understood what the chosen one wanted to remind him of.


    Next to his seat, the top student ghost was not there, but the delinquent ghost he had tricked and taken his cigarette from had already recovered and was sound asleep.


    Sensing the gaze, the delinquent ghost raised his head, his crimson eyes fixed on Alexander, and let out a sinisterugh: "Ga... My good deskmate, aren''t you going toe over and sit down?"

 Chapter 10: Your head is so stupid, why don’t you let me knock it off for you!

    <h4>Chapter 10: Your head is so stupid, why don''t you let me knock it off for you!</h4>


    The delinquent ghost, Lei Hu, was quite pleased with himself.


    Finally, it was time for revenge!


    He had been tricked so badly.


    Although he was a ghost and could recover even if he was crushed, the energy consumption was enormous.


    His older brother, Lei Long, was even worse off. He was about to advance to the next level as an evil spirit, but Alexander had tricked him so badly that he lost his head. Even though he had recovered, he was back to square one.


    How could he not hate Alexander?


    Now, with both the top student ghost and the teacher gone, the other student ghosts in the ssroom would definitely not dare to offend him just for Alexander. This was a great opportunity for revenge!


    Everyone looked at Alexander sympathetically. Without the top student ghost, he was as good as dead.


    "Pity! He barely survived that haunted toilet, and now he''s going to die at the hands of his own deskmate. You can''t be too arrogant in life! Remember, this is a world of horror!" In the ssroom, the senior chosen one,Cain, showed a sympathetic expression, but everyone could see the schadenfreude on his face.


    He was extremely jealous.


    Why did all of them get their organs taken away when they went to the toilet, and he, as a senior, got charged double the price for trying to escape? Yet, Alexander came out unscathed.


    Now that Alexander was finally in trouble, not only Cain but also the other chosen ones couldn''t help but feel a little schadenfreude.


    Why should you be so smug?


    "Gaga..."


    Seeing Alexander walk back to his seat step by step, Lei Hu''s face was full of sinister smiles and said:


    "You damned worm, I didn''t expect you to make it back alive. But since you dared toe back, are you ready to face my wrath?"


    Lei Hu was confident that without the top student and the female ghost teacher, Alexander would have no support.


    Unfortunately for Lei Hu, Alexander was no longer ignorant.


    At first, he relied on the top student and the female ghost teacher to trick others because he had no power and just wanted to sign up.


    But now, Lei Hu was just a mere vengeful spirit!


    Alexander casually sat down on the bench without even looking at Lei Hu, and took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.


    Wow!


    This was so arrogant!


    Everyone around was stunned.


    Lei Hu''s eyes turned red when he saw Alexander''s actions. That Hademen cigarette was his treasure! He and his brother, Lei Long, had sold their assets to buy it to break through to the evil spirit level. This box of cigarettes would have been enough for him to be promoted to the evil spirit level, and together with his brother Lei Long, they could havepletely dominated this ce.


    With the exception of the headteacher, everyone else, including the top student and the baseball ghost in the toilet, would have to bow down to the two brothers.


    Lei Hu had nned to eat two humans during this instance dungeon opening to reach his best condition and then enjoy his precious cigarettes.


    "Can you exin how to solve this question?"


    As he spoke, he licked his gradually sharp and pointed fangs with his crimson tongue, staring at Alexander with a ferocious look. The meaning was clear.


    If Alexander exined the question, just like what happened to the beautiful girl during thest break, it would be a pity not to change his smart head!


    Lei Hu''s intention was to humiliate Alexander by making him answer the question while exposing him to danger. The atmosphere in the ssroom was tense as everyone waited for Alexander''s response.


    Who would have thought that he would not only fail to eat the humans but also lose his Hademen cigarettes in the process?


    Alexander lighting up a cigarette in front of him was a deliberate provocation!


    His ghostly aura boiled around him like thick smoke.


    However, it was evident that these ghosts also had limitations.


    Even if Lei Hu wanted to tear Alexander apart, he had to follow certain rules.


    Due to these restrictions, Lei Hu did not attack directly. With a sinister smile on his face, he picked up a textbook from the desk, flipped it open, pointed to a question, and asked:


    If he doesn''t exin, Lei Hu would have a perfect excuse to devour the guy in front of him.


    "Can''t you solve such a simple problem?" Alexander took a puff of his cigarette and asked disdainfully.


    "Are you stalling for time? Answer me quickly, will you teach me or not?" Lei Hu asked impatiently.


    "Too simple, figure it out yourself!" Alexander casually grabbed the top student''s workbook next to him and threw it on Lei Hu''s desk.


    "You think you can survive like this? Too bad, that damned four-eyed ghost isn''t here, and no one can protect you!" Lei Hu sneered, and as he spoke, he looked around to make sure the top student was not around, and then confidently continued, "Beauty, you''re so smart, and my head is so dumb, why don''t we exchange heads? Put your head on my neck, and then I''ll be as smart as you!"


    As he spoke, Lei Hu reached for his hair, intending to follow the procedure of the other evil spirits in the row behind him, removing his head to stuff it into Alexander''s arms.


    "No need!" Alexander stretched out his hand and grabbed Lei Hu''s wrist.


    "Damn worm, do you think you can stop me? Since you''re unwilling to exchange, I''ll just eat you directly!" Lei Hu grinned, his bloody mouth slowly opening.


    "It''s not that I don''t want to exchange!" Alexander shook his head and said, "What I meant was, since your head is so dumb, why bother exchanging? I''ll help you smash it, and then you won''t have a dumb head anymore!"


    As he spoke, a blood-stained baseball bat suddenly appeared in Alexander''s hand, glowing with a mysterious light.


    "No... how could this thing be in your hands?" Lei Hu''s face turned pale as he looked at the blood-stained baseball bat.


    In the next moment, ck light flickered around Alexander''s arm.


    "Ghost energy! You even have the ghost energy to manipte ghost artifacts!" Lei Hu''s eyes widened in shock, his gaze filled with horror.


    Ghost artifacts controlled by ghost energy could truly kill ghosts!


    At this moment, it seemed as if the roles had reversed, with Alexander holding a cigarette in his mouth and a baseball bat in his hand, his face ferocious.


    Isn''t this the horror world?


    Aren''t they supposed to be the evil spirits?


    How did things turn out like this?


    The ghost students in the ssroom were all dumbfounded. Alexander looked around, and all the evil spirits he nced at lowered their heads in fear.


    Satisfied, Alexander turned back and stepped on the stool. With a cigarette in his mouth and exhaling smoke rings, he said in a domineering tone, "Such a dumb head is useless anyway. I''ll help you knock it off!"


    As he was about to take action, a soft, seductive voice rang out, "Alexander, what are you doing?"


    At that moment, the beautiful female headteacher with an icy expression appeared behind him, staring at Alexander with a displeased look, her eyes gradually turning blood-red.


    "Hahaha, you''re doomed! The teacher is a fierce ghost and hates delinquent teenagers the most! You''re dead for sure!" Lei Hu, who had just been terrified, burst into excitedughter.

 Chapter 11: The beautiful female ghost teacher

    <h4>Chapter 11: The beautiful female ghost teacher</h4>


    At this moment, Alexander was standing with one foot on the stool, holding a cigarette in one hand and a baseball bat in the other, looking like a typical thug.


    He never dreamed that the beautiful head teacher would show up at this moment, catching him red-handed. As the terrifying ghostly aura began to spread from the beautiful head teacher''s body, Alexander quickly stuffed the cigarette he was holding into Lei Hu''s mouth.


    "Well, look at you, Lei Hu! How dare you smoke in the ssroom? Have you no respect for our head teacher? I''ll clean up this mess for her right now!"


    The chosen ones: ...


    The students: ...


    "You... you''re not human!" Furious, Lei Hu spat out the cigarette, took a moment to catch his breath, and uttered these words, feeling extremely wronged.


    Bang!


    As soon as his words fell, Alexander swung the baseball bat in his hand. The ten points of ghost energy were all infused into the bat, and for a moment, Alexander felt a sense of exhaustion.


    But what followed was a series of ck ghostly auras swirling around the baseball bat, emitting a terrifying and miserable wail as if the souls under the bloodstained bat were being awakened.


    Boom!


    With an explosive sound, but no blood stter, Lei Hu''s entire head turned into a cloud of ck smoke and exploded. Then, the body below began to gradually be intangible, turning into ck smoke and dissipating in the air.


    Holy shit!


    He killed a ghost! A neer actually killed an evil ghost!


    All the chosen ones were dumbfounded, and the students'' mouths were wide open. In the thrilling world, especially for neers, it has always been a struggle to survive, with difficulties at every turn.


    Even someone like Cain, who had experienced three rounds and was considered a veteran, was powerless against an evil ghost, barely surviving with the rewards from previous rounds.


    The horror tattoo on Alexander''s arm indicated he was just a neer, yet he managed to kill an evil ghost with his own power.


    "Damn idiot! Even if you''re lucky enough to get a ghost weapon, daring to kill in front of this ferocious head teacher is just asking for death! She''s a vengeful evil ghost!" Cain, a veteran, was initially shocked by Alexander''s ruthlessness but soon sneered.


    The thrilling world has its specific rules, like the previous evil ghosts who could easily kill them but looked for various excuses instead. The same goes for the chosen ones; it''s not that they can''t fight back, but killing her students right in front of her is just asking for trouble!


    As Lei Hu had said, this terrifying head teacher''s greatest hatred was these delinquent students. As expected, witnessing the death of her student, the female ghost teacher''s eyes instantly turned blood red, and eerie blood vessels spread from the corners of her eyes.


    Her white blouse gradually stained with crimson bloodlines, making her look both ferocious and enchanting. A dazzling sh of bloodlight quickly disappeared, and in the next moment, a cold chilling wind swept through the entire ssroom.


    The female ghost head teacher appeared in front of Alexander in an instant, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at him.


    "You... better give me an exnation!"


    The terrifying aura felt like a mountain pressing on his chest, and the cold chill pierced straight to his bones.


    He''s done for!


    A sense of despair rose in Alexander''s heart as he looked at the head ghost teacher''s fluctuating favorability value above her head.


    It changed from negative to positive and back, but it was clear that the time spent in the negative range was gradually increasing.


    When the favorability value turns entirely negative, it''s probably time for her to take action!


    "Now that things havee to this, I have no choice but to give it my all!" Alexander clenched his teeth, his face showing a look of righteous indignation. He said, "I''m helping you clean up the mess!"


    "Clean up the mess? Do I need your help to do that?" The female ghost teacher''s expression became even colder.


    "Of course, for someone like you, a troublemaker wouldn''t escape your watchful eye. Even without me, you would never allow such a bad influence to continue harming the entire ss! Sooner orter, you would have dealt with him! But..."


    Alexander''s tone suddenly changed, speaking with justified confidence, "Can I let you do this? Can I let you deal with such trivial matters personally? Can I bear it?"


    "Don''t others know? Don''t I know it myself?" Alexander continued, "Every time I pass by your apartment building, the light that''s always on during the quiet nights is yours! Under the dim yellow light, I always see your beautiful but tired face as you grade assignments!"


    "In my heart, you are a diligent gardener, tirelessly cultivating the flowers of the thrilling world!"


    "How could I bear it! How could I bear to see this troublemaker destroy the flowers you''ve carefully nurtured!"


    Alexander''s voice was filled with tears, and his acting skills from two lifetimes were disyed to the fullest.


    The other chosen ones were dumbfounded. Who am I? Where am I? What kind of chosen one is this?


    Hadn''t everyone just entered the instance this morning? Where did you see the apartment building? And under the dim yellow light?


    They had never seen such a shameless person!


    The female ghost teacher was also a bit stunned, staring nkly at Alexander. The blood on her face quickly faded, and after a while, she said somewhat embarrassed, "I didn''t expect that you would know where my apartment is, and even saw me grading assignments at night."


    "Teacher... Teacher, actually... I didn''t mean to say you''re that great!" The favorability value above her head stabilized at 10, five points higher than before.


    From the top student ghost to Brother Jimmy Conway, and now this female teacher. The ghosts in this world were really too innocent!


    Alexander felt a bit moved and was a little embarrassed to continue deceiving her.


    However, seizing the opportunity, he looked at the female ghost teacher with teary eyes, his face full of sincerity, "Like a silkworm exhausting its silk until death, and a candle burning out as the tears dry! As a teacher, you have sessfully burned yourself to light our path!"


    "Like a silkworm exhausting its silk until death... well said, am I... am I worthy of that?" The female teacher had never heard such a metaphor from Earth and was immediately touched, feeling as if she had found a kindred spirit.


    The favorability value above her head suddenly increased by another ten points.


    This ttery was too easy!


    In his previous life, Alexander was a sales trainer and once a top salesperson in the industry, dealing with wealthy people whose worth was in the tens of millions or even billions. These people were the slyest of the sly foxes. Could they be pleased with just a few nice words? Even when offered sufficient benefits and respect, it still depended on their mood.


    Now he had unexpectedly met someone whose favorability could skyrocket with just some ttery. This feeling was like a yer finding a great cricket or a horse expert discovering a fine steed.


    Excited, Alexander grabbed the female teacher''s hand and said passionately, "Not only are you worthy, but in my heart, you are also the most beautiful goddess in the world! I''m just afraid that my limited vocabry and coarse adjectives will make you despise me!"


    At this moment, the female teacher didn''t look like a fierce ghost at all, her pretty face blushing and eyes filled with affection: "Am I really that good, or are you just making up stories to deceive me?"


    "Of course not! My wordse from the bottom of my heart, and they have been buried inside me for a long time!"


    Alexander spoke with righteous confidence, seeing the favorability score approaching thirty. Biting the bullet, he took out the rose he had received earlier as a reward, "If you don''t believe me, look at this. I prepared it for you long ago, but I''ve been afraid of being rejected, so I haven''t dared to take it out until now!"


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they all stared nkly at the blood-red rose in Alexander''s hand and the blushing, shy female teacher with her head lowered.


    What the hell!


    Wasn''t there something wrong here?


    Wasn''t this supposed to be a thrilling world?


    Why did it feel like someone grabbed their hair, lifted their heads, and forcefully stuffed a handful of dog food into their mouths?

 Chapter 12: SSS score

    <h4>Chapter 12: SSS score</h4>


    In fact, the scene unfolding before him was something Alexander never expected.


    The main reason was that the female teacher had witnessed him defeating Lei Hu. Moreover, the female teacher''s power was incredibly strong; Alexander hadn''t even noticed how she approached him.


    Unable to fight her, he could only try to deceive her!


    Although the female teacher seemed quite naive and easy to fool, Alexander couldn''t be sure if she would remember that he had killed one of her students once she came to her senses.


    So, the higher he could push her favorability, the safer it would be for him.


    After several rounds of deception, the female teacher''s favorability had soared to thirty.


    Surely the rose would raise it by another ten or twenty points! Take it! Take it!


    As he watched the female teacher''s blushing face, Alexander prayed in his heart.


    The female ghost teacher''s face was crimson, her once fierce appearance gone, her red eyes now soft and watery. After an unknown period of silence, her ghostly heart suddenly started to beat.


    Was this the feeling of love that she had never experienced when she was alive?


    In the end, although she appeared hesitant, the female ghost teacher epted the rose.


    In an instant, her pale skin was tinged with a blush, and she tightly clutched the crimson rose in her hand, running out of the ssroom like a shy girl.


    "Favorability reaches 60 points. Skill ''Social Communication Barrier-Free Charm Syndrome'' special effect triggered! Reward: Ghost Qi +10, Ghost Coins +100, Invitation to the Soul Apartment +1, Joss Paper +10."


    The moment the female ghost teacher ran out of the ssroom shyly, a piece of information appeared in Alexander''s mind. At the same time, a white card stained with blood appeared in his hand.


    Soul Apartment Invitation


    Grade: Special Ghost Item


    Effect: Use to enter the Soul Apartment instance and directly appear in the female ghost Su Rong''s home.


    Introduction: In the Thrilling World, the Soul Apartment on Ghost Street is the top ce to be. With 18 floors, the Soul Apartment houses all the high-status evil ghosts on Ghost Street. As a living person without status, be careful not to step out of the apartment!


    Soul Apartment... Just by hearing the name, he could tell what kind of ce it was. Was it a new dungeon?


    After the Thrilling Arrival, there were many ways for the Chosen Ones to enter dungeon.


    One way was for neers like Alexander to be randomly ced into an dungeon. The second was through randomly triggered events, such as taking thest bus possibly leading to the Last Bus instance, or visiting parents'' graves at night possibly leading to the Yin Yang Road or Chaotic Burial Ground dungeon.


    Of course, in today''s society, those who dare to do such things are usually quite naive. The mostmon way is through various ''invitations.''


    For example, one night you might find a stack of hundred-dor bills in front of your door, pick them up excitedly, only to find out they are joss paper the next day, and then get dragged into the Bank of the Dead a few dayster.


    Or, one day there might be a supermarket discount coupon stuck to your door, the kind that offers one to two-thirds off. If you let greed get the better of you and bring it inside, you''ll find yourself in the Ghost Supermarket that night.


    There are also cursed letters, ghostly lunch boxes, haunted rentals, and so on.


    These strange things are all products of the terrifying world''s influence on the living world. While they cannot directly harm people, if you be targeted and trigger certain rules, you can also be one of the Chosen Ones or be pulled into an dungeon.


    In addition to this, as a Chosen One, you can enter dungeons randomly through tattoos or use the mentioned items.


    It is said that experienced Chosen Ones can obtain various items, some of which can even allow them to enter specific dungeon. However, aside from the legendary veterans, most people are terrified of the thrilling world and are frightened by joss paper and discount coupons. Each time they enter an dungeon, even the veterans are extremely cautious.


    Being invited by a ghost, Alexander was probably the first in history. "I''ll keep it for now. With the female ghost teacher''s high favorability, as long as she''s covering for me, I should be able to protect myself no matter where I go in the apartment," Alexander thought to himself, putting away the invitation in his hand.


    His gaze swept across the ssroom, and all the ghost students who met his eyes quickly looked away. Even Cain, who used to mock him, kept his head down, afraid of attracting Alexander''s attention. However, due to Alexander''s actions, the remaining time passed without further incidents.


    Even the other Chosen Ones in the dungeon benefited from it. Except for one unlucky guy who couldn''t resist going to the restroom and never came back, the rest of them safely made it through the final lessons.


    Ding-dong... As the bell rang, a white light shed before the eyes of all the Chosen Ones, apanied by a dizzying sensation. In the next moment, Alexander found himself back in his bedroom.


    "I''m back..." Familiar scent, familiar taste. Even the angle of the setting sun streaming in hadn''t changed, as if the day of life and death in the thrilling world had just been a momentary trance, just an illusion. However, the burning pain from his arm, apanied by a message entering his mind, quickly pulled Alexander back to reality.


    "Congrattions! You have sessfully passed the first thrilling world dungeon and earned the official Chosen One qualification!"


    "dungeon evaluation settlement: You survived ten life and death crises in the instance. Your instance evaluation is SSS!"


    Ten times? Were there that many? Alexander was a bit stunned but soon became excited. The first time a Chosen One participates in a thrilling dungeon is usually a survival scenario without triggering any tasks or having any main storyline. Only by passing it can one be considered a formal yer. If not, the person would naturally cease to exist.


    Although the rewards for the assessment dungeon are not many, they directly represent a yer''s starting point. On the thrilling world expert leaderboard, the top twenty yers are almost all of A-level evaluations. S-level evaluations have only been achieved by three people so far. There have never been any higher evaluations, and he unexpectedly received a 3S-level evaluation right away.


    It''s as if heaven was on his side! On his arm, the scythe tattoo had turned blood red. This is the mark of a formal yer. From now on, Alexander can enter thrilling dungeons through the tattoo, with a minimum of one experience per month. However, unlike other tattoos, perhaps due to the 3S evaluation, Alexander''s scythe de has an indistinct, skull-like reflection on it. If not staring at it, it would be difficult to discover.


    At this moment, Alexander didn''t have the energy to pay attention to the tattoo. As information from the thrilling world emerged directly in his mind, the 3S-level evaluation for the novice assessment had finally reached the reward distribution stage:


    "Settlementpleted. As the first novice assessment SSS-level evaluation recipient, you will receive rewards..."

 Chapter 13: Thriller Forum

    <h4>Chapter 13: Thriller Forum</h4>


    "Ghost Qi +50, Ghost Coins +500, Paper Money +50, Incense Candle +1, Bone Ring +1, Human Skin Chainsaw +1."


    A great harvest!


    Up until now, people have be more familiar with the thrilling world, at least when ites to the novice instances.


    Generally speaking, for novice assessments, the reward of Ghost Coins ranges from 10 to 100 points.


    Ghost Qi, not only can drive ghostly objects, but also constantly strengthen the owner''s body, just like the legendary internal power. It''s not easy to obtain it even in formal instances, let alone in assessment instances.


    Having Ghost Qi is the difference between experienced yers and ordinary novices.


    It is said that those who achieved the S-rank years ago only gained 10 points of Ghost Qi and had a significant advantage in the early stages.


    As for Alexander, he already had a total of 70 points with the Ghost Qi from triggering his talent twice.


    Of course, whether it''s Ghost Qi, Ghost Coins, or Paper Money, they are all just small gains. The real value lies in the rewards that follow.


    Incense Candle


    Grade: Evil ghost


    Introduction: A filial child made incense candles from the most precious pair of objects tomemorate his deceased foster mother. The enticing fragrance released when lit can promote the cultivation advancement of evil spirits. When used by oneself, it can grant ten points of Ghost Qi.


    A great item!


    There''s no doubt that it''s a treasure. Even experienced yers would be eager to have something that can increase Ghost Qi.


    Although the introduction is a bit eerie, Alexander is already used to it. He happily collected it and looked at the next item.


    Bone Ring


    Grade: Evil ghost


    Introduction: A love-struck groom worked various jobs to prepare the most beautiful wedding ring for his bride: at a crematorium, hospital, and barbershop... Finally, with his relentless efforts, he found this beautiful bone ring.


    Upon use, it can greatly increase the target''s favorability.


    Gulp!


    Alexander swallowed hard, not because the item was particrly valuable.


    He had already obtained a graveyard rose that could increase favorability, also at the Evil Spirit grade.


    However, this item is clearly more brutal!


    The ring was not earned or bought, but found.


    Thinking about the sequence of the jobs...


    Crematorium, hospital, barbershop...


    It was simply terrifying.


    Licking his slightly cracked lips, Alexander looked at thest item.


    Human Skin Chainsaw


    Grade: Ferocious Ghost


    Introduction: This item has made its way from abroad,ing from an upwardly mobile family that relied on this tool, soaked in the fresh blood of food.


    With at least 100 points of Ghost Power, you can activate the chainsaw, causing terrifying damage to evil spirits.


    A Ferocious Ghost grade treasure!


    Alexander''s eyes widened, looking at the hideous chainsaw in front of him, his hands trembling with excitement.


    Vengeful Spirit grade! Even those who have experienced countless trials might not possess it!


    The hideous, over one-meter-long chainsaw, its sharp teeth chain covered in dark red matter, exuded a cold, brutal, and terrifying aura.


    Alexander even automatically ignored the still terrifying introduction, eager to test the chainsaw''s brutality right now.


    Unfortunately, first, he had already left the instance, so it was impossible to test it on someone on the street.


    Most importantly, to activate this item, it required at least 100 Ghost Qi.


    It seems that for the time being, it can only be stored away.


    ''Should I use the incense candle first?''


    Putting away the chainsaw, Alexander thought to himself. After all, it could increase ten points of Ghost Qi, bringing him one step closer to using the chainsaw.


    Alexander was very eager to try and experience what it would feel like to transform into a butcher on a rainy night, chasing evil spirits all over the instance with a chainsaw in hand.


    However, just as Alexander was putting away all the items and still hesitating, a piece of information suddenly emerged in his mind:


    Thrilling World Announcement: Congrattions to the selected user with ID xjbxd44011 for achieving the SSS rating and receiving amazing rewards. This announcement is made to all users as an encouragement!


    What?


    Announcement?


    For a moment, Alexander felt all the hairs on his body stand up, a chill running from his head to his feet.


    This announcement? Could it be taken literally?


    All the selected users in the Thrilling World can receive this announcement?


    The first SSS! Just thinking about it, he must have been targeted by countless people.


    At this moment, Alexander really wanted to curse, quickly walking to hisputer desk and turning on the bulky desktopputer.


    Due to the influence of the Thrilling World, the technology and entertainment in this world are rtively backward, with the inte still in the forum and post bar phase.


    Upon opening a popr post bar, a pinned post immediately appeared before Alexander''s eyes.


    Shocking! A senior yer''s recorded broadcast reveals the ultimate secret of achieving an SSS rating!


    Damn!


    Seeing the pinned post, Alexander immediately wanted to curse.


    Someone even activated the recording function? That costs Ghost Coins, and only senior yers can activate it, with a hefty price tag.


    Usually, it''srge organizations or the official team that assign people to record some videos.


    For example, the one Alexander watched during ss was officially recorded.


    Unexpectedly, even a casual novice assessment had a senior yer recording it. Could it be that guy who lost his arms and nose?


    With those Ghost Coins, wouldn''t it be better to use them to enhance one''s strength?


    Next time they meet, he''ll make sure to let them taste the power of the human skin face survival tool!


    Alexander gritted his teeth in anger and opened the post.


    As expected, it was a video about him.


    Fortunately, it wasn''t a full recording. Obviously, no one could afford the high price of 100 Ghost Coins for ten minutes. They only recorded the parts where he borrowed homework and asked questions. They didn''t record the rest, either because they ran out of Ghost Coins or couldn''t bother.


    "This angle! It''s definitely that senior yer named Cain!"


    Alexander clenched his teeth, closed the video, and started reading thements below.


    Fish_that_eats_dreams: "Oh my god, is this the legendary horror instance? It doesn''t seem like what I imagined?"


    Person_in_Instance_Thank_You_For_Inviting: "Damn! Can you y the Thrilling World like this? It''s so amazing it makes my scalp tingle. Is this person a god? SSS big shot, terrifying!"


    DouDou: "In my dying illness, I was shocked to sit up, and I couldn''t believe it. Amazing! Broken sound amazing!"


    Dark_Night_Butcher: "Unfortunately, the faces, heights, and voices in unconsented recorded videos are all randomly applied from temtes..."


    Family_Cook: "What do you want, the one above? Don''t think using a famous instance boss nickname makes you a real evil spirit."


    Dark_Night_Butcher: "None of your business, you''re just a spicy cake, do you want to fight?"


    I_am_the_Peacemaker: "@Family_Cook, I''m not picking a fight, but with this attitude and temper, I absolutely couldn''t stand it if it were me!"


    ...


    Seeing the post bar gradually going off-topic, Alexander shook his head.


    It seemed that he couldn''t find anything useful here.


    The really useful information could only be found in professional ces, like the Thrilling Forum.


    It is said that this is a world-ss forum for Thrilling World yers, jointly established by several official organizations andrge forces.


    yers are what the selected users call themselves, and also a self-mockery.


    Not ying, but being yed.


    This forum includes most Thrilling World yers.


    To enter, you need to enter a code and scan the Thrilling icon. The information inside is specifically for yers and won''t be leaked easily.


    ''If I make up a random code and use the icon to enter, the technology in this world shouldn''t be able to trace it back to me, right?''


    Looking at the registration page in front of him, Alexander pondered and searched online for the longest code that had appeared, then slowly typed abination of letters and numbers.


    dsnis850

 Chapter 14: Subject of suspicion

    <h4>Chapter 14: Subject of suspicion</h4>


    "Report to the Commander, all suspected xjbxd44011 personnel have been identified, and here is the list of names!"


    In a sci-fi-inspired office, a woman dressed in a military uniform, with delicate features and a valiant appearance, hands over a thick stack of documents to her superior.


    Code xjbxd44011, entered the game two hours and fifteen minutes ago, final evaluation: SSS.


    Gender: Male


    Age: Suspected to be between 16 and 25


    Suspected upation: Student, marketer, or non-manualbor


    Personality: Extroverted, good atmunication, skilled at ttering, thick-skinned, and possibly having multiple identities.


    Priority level: B-ss.


    List of suspected individuals:


    First: ude


    Background and suspicion: Recently registered as a member of the thriller forum with the ID xjbxd51010, which does notply with the code generation rules and has been modified from the target code. After testing, he has a higher constitution than ordinary people and is likely to have gained ghostly energy from the instance. He still deliberately conceals his identity, preferring to be humiliated at home rather than exposing himself.


    This might be due to his intention to y dumb and show offter, or having masochistic tendencies, or having gained only a small advantage but suffering from delusions of persecution.


    Inconsistency: Personality (possible deliberate disguise)


    Degree of suspicion: 4 stars


    Second: Jack


    Background and suspicion: A college student who works part-time at McDonald''s. He demonstrates extraordinary strength when provoked by a ssmate at dusk.


    His personality is simr to the target''s simted personality, with an equally thick-skinned nature. He also deliberately conceals his chosen identity.


    Inconsistency: Unable to determine the exact time of entry; considering his abilities, he might have entered much earlier than the target (possibility of ghostly influence not ruled out).


    Degree of suspicion: 5 stars


    Third: Jerry


    Background and suspicion: An entric man with blindness in both eyes. He ims that his eyes were burned blind by a terrifying ghost more than a decade ago, but that was before the advent of the horror world, and no real ghosts had ever appeared.


    Not long ago, Jerry secretly underwent a checkup, and his vision mysteriously recovered.


    He has an in-depth understanding of the horror world, and even if he isn''t a 3S-rated individual, his evaluation would definitely not be low.


    Inconsistency: Personality, the target''s vision was normal when entering.


    Degree of suspicion: 4 stars


    Fourth: Tom


    ...


    Fifth: Li Xiaolong


    ...


    Profiles of hundreds of people stacked up into a thick pile.


    The middle-aged man known as the Commander, with hawk-like sharp eyes, scanned them one by one, and coldly said:


    "Is this all?"


    "Not at all! These are just the first-level suspects, and there are thousands of second-level suspects, such as this newly registered person with the code dsnis850 who registered just a few minutes ago. ording to the coding rules, he should have registered two months ago, but he is registering now. Through tattoo scanning, his age matches the suspected conditions, but strangely, our technical staff cannot lock his location and determine his identity. In addition to this, there are third-level suspects, and their numbers are evenrger, and they are being screened." The female officer exined.


    "No need to rush, we will screen them one by one, and we absolutely cannot let any suspect slip through our fingers. This is the first-ever 3S in history!" The Commander nodded and solemnly reminded.


    The same thing was happening not only in this mysterious office but also in the headquarters of various major forces and even some smaller forces. They all unanimously focused on the first-ever SSS-rated individual.


    At this time, Alexander had no idea that just over two hours after leaving the instance and registering on the forum for only a few minutes, he was already listed as a second-level suspect.


    He was browsing the forum at the moment.


    dssni901: "Selling soul-level ghost technique for brainwashing, a powerful ghost technique that can control evil ghosts for a short time!"


    dreal599: "Bloody hemp rope, a top-tier control-type ghost item at the fierce ghost level, only exchange for a healing-type ghost item of the same level!"


    djux878: "The one selling the ghost technique is a scammer, don''t be fooled, everyone. What''s the use of controlling a soul for a short time? It''s only useful for beginners, and he''s selling it for 500 ghost coins, is he crazy? Even 50 is too much!"


    xjbxd51010: "To the first floor, how long can you control it? If it''s more than 10 minutes, I''ll buy it for 80 ghost coins!"


    djux216: "Neer upstairs? Just finished the assessment? Send me an email, and I''ll give you something good."


    dssni901: "A newbie? I''m a person who likes to help neers the most, so I''ll sell it cheaper, 50 ghost coins for you. It''s not convenient to talk here, let''s add each other on Discord!"


    xjbxd51010: "Just passed the third instance, I''m an experienced yer, don''t try that trick on me!"


    ...


    The chat on the forum terrified Alexander.


    Especially the one with a simr code to his own, as soon as he appeared, a bunch of people immediately surrounded him, trying to get close and build a rtionship. In short, they had one goal: to get his address.


    It''s still fine in the forum, as the entire thriller forum is divided into several sections, not only for the United States but also for other countries with corresponding sections. It is said to be a joint development by multiple countries, ensuring absolute confidentiality.


    Whether it''s true or not, with official guarantees, it can at least make people feel a little more at ease.


    Even if there is any trickery, it''s not like ordinary yers or small forces can easily trace you through the inte cable to your home.


    However, if your email, Twitter, or simr things were exposed, that would be a different story.


    Originally, he had some questions to ask, but seeing this situation, he stopped his hand that was about to type on the keyboard.


    He should first search for information about the Soul Apartment invitation on his own. He should avoid posting unless it''s absolutely necessary, so as not to attract attention to himself as a neer.


    After all, hisputer doesn''t have any advanced firewall. If someone targets him and wants to trace him through the inte cable, what should he do?


    Abandoning his n to post questions, Alexander started browsing directly.


    As expected from a forum specifically designed for the world of horror, many posts were very useful to Alexander.


    Unfortunately, after browsing for a long time, Alexander didn''t find any information about the Soul Apartment.


    Fierce Ghost Cinema Instance, the worst instance in history, don''t ever enter!


    Suddenly, Alexander was attracted to a post and was about to click on it when a knocking sound came from the door.


    Looking at the time, the passage of time in the instance and the real world did not ovep. Even if he stayed in the instance for ten years, the real world would still only pass in an instant.


    It was just before 5 o''clock when Alexander left the instance, and now it was already past 8 o''clock.


    At this time, who woulde to find him?


    Could it be that his 3S rating identity was exposed?


    Alexander''s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although he thought the possibility was low, he still felt uneasy.


    With a bloodstained baseball bat in hand, Alexander walked to the door and coldly asked:


    "Who is it?"

 Chapter 15: Guided Yoga

    <h4>Chapter 15: Guided Yoga</h4>


    "Big brother Alexander, I''m Sophia!"


    A crisp and sweet girlish voice sounded, making Alexander relieved.


    Judging by the voice, it was his neighbor Sophia from across the hall.


    The apartment across the way was upied by a mother and daughter; the mother, Isabe, was in herte thirties and worked as a bank clerk.


    Her daughter, Sophia, had just turned seventeen a few days ago and was still in high school.


    Opening the door, a youthful and sweet girl with a ponytail appeared in front of Alexander.


    She was just over 1.6 meters tall, wearing a white knitted short top and blue-gray suspenders with jeans.


    There were cartoon patterns embroidered on the short top, with her thumbs hooked into the front straps, and her perky chest was already quite sizable. Her smile still had a touch of childish innocence.


    In short, the whole impression was youthful, as if looking at her made you feel years younger.


    "Sophia, what''s up?" Alexander subconsciously pulled up his sleeves to cover the tattoos on his arms and asked.


    "Big brother..." The girl pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, "Didn''t I just tell you downstairs? My mom just learned a few yoga poses and wants you toe over and give her some pointers, and me too! Sophia wants to learn together!"


    "Ha, how could I forget! Let me change my clothes, and I''ll be right there!"


    Alexanderughed and replied.


    In fact, he had only been preupied with the horror instance and hadn''t really heard what Sophia had said.


    Of course, no one with a bit of social intelligence would admit that, let alone Alexander, who was quite sociable. After casually agreeing, Alexander went to his bedroom to change his clothes.


    Mainly to better cover his tattoos!


    "Let''s go!" After changing, Alexander and Sophia directly pushed open the door across the hall.


    "Alexander, you''re here! Come and see if my pose is correct!"


    As soon as they entered, a soft, tender voice came over.


    The speaker was naturally Sophia''s mother, Isabe.


    Despite being close to forty, Isabe''s skin was still fair and radiant, and her figure was fantastic.


    She was wearing a tight ck yoga outfit and doing a pose called the Scorpion.


    In simple terms, the body is supported by the arms, with the lower half inverted, toes pointed forward, and the legs bent towards the head to stretch the body. It''s called the Scorpion because the toes on both legs curve forward like a scorpion''s tail.


    Of course, this pose is not easy, and even after practicing for a few months, Isabe could only do a simplified version.


    Supported by her abdomen and hands, her upper body was raised, and her lower body was bent forward like a scorpion.


    This pose really entuated Isabe''s figure, not to mention her long, straight legs. Even with her chest heaving from exertion, her full breasts still rested firmly on the ground like dough.


    It was as if an 800-page book was pressing on two balloons, making one worry about the balloons losing their sticity.


    Her unpainted, delicate face was covered in beads of sweat that slid down her chest, soaking her clothes.


    This pose, facing Alexander, was too much for even the most disciplined person, let alone a young man like Alexander.


    Licking his somewhat dry lips, Alexander hurriedly stepped forward, helping Isabe correct her posture while speaking.


    "Isabe, this pose mainly relies on the strength of the legs and waist. Keep your body straight, or else you might strain your waist."


    As he spoke, Alexander grabbed Isabe''s leg to help her adjust.


    The soft touch made Alexander''s heart skip a beat involuntarily. The yoga outfit was incredibly thin, no wonder the nipples on her breasts were visible. Isabe, however, seemed oblivious to it all, as she looked at Sophia and said, "Sophia, didn''t you also want to learn yoga with Alexander? Hurry up and change into your workout clothes!" "Okay! I''ll go right away, Alexander, please wait for me!" Sophia responded, cheerfully hopping and skipping towards her bedroom.


    Speaking of yoga, it was one of the unique skills Alexander had mastered in his previous life.


    Of course, it was only in theory; not just yoga, but also golf, tea ceremony, cultural relics, calligraphy, jewelry, cosmetics, various military weapons...


    Though iparable to professionals, Alexander''s theoretical knowledge was definitely among the best in the amateur realm.


    Rtionships, connections, and contacts.


    Socializing is all about reciprocity.


    Catering to one''s preferences isn''t just about good cigarettes, fine wines, or luxury cosmetics.


    As a top salesperson, you need to have enough topics tomunicate with customers. Nothing promotes a rtionship better than a shared hobby. Once you be friends with customers, is selling still a difficult task?


    The friendship built on drinking is just a low-ss social interaction.


    In his previous life, after Alexander switched to sales training, many of his clients would asionally invite him out to y golf or ask him for advice on chess or other interests.


    In this world, Alexander no longer needs to spend energy maintaining those rtionships, but this kind of socializing has be ingrained in him.


    In the entire neighborhood, there was no one who didn''t speak highly of Alexander.


    Everyone else was like that, and naturally, Isabe and her daughter were no exception.


    The two families were already on excellent terms. When Alexander learned that Isabe was practicing yoga, he became her theoretical instructor out of concern for her safety, and he could also feast his eyes on the beauty of it all.


    Unexpectedly, even little Sophia wanted to learn.


    Sophia had perfectly inherited her mother''s devastatingly beautiful looks. Although her figure was far from matching her mother''s, the youthful charm she possessed was no less lethal to Alexander, who had, in fact, lived two lifetimes.


    Watching Sophia happily hop into her bedroom, Alexander couldn''t help but swallow hard.


    A mother and daughter both in yoga outfits, striking various yoga poses together.


    Was this still yoga? It was like heaven!


    He was just a child, after all!


    Alexander felt that he couldn''t endure this torment and wanted to find an excuse to leave.


    However, his legs seemed to have their own thoughts, and his mouth was as if glued shut.


    He couldn''t move, nor could he open his mouth.


    Only his eyes were active, making Alexander''s heart ache.


    "Alexander, what are you thinking? My legs are about to be crushed by your grip!" Isabe felt the force on her legs and shot Alexander a re.


    "Uh... Isabe, I''m sorry, I was lost in thought just now." Alexander quickly let go of her legs.


    "One apology isn''t enough; you must be punished!" Isabe said, her beautiful eyes swirling yfully. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "I''m tired anyway, so I''ll punish you by having you support me as I lean against the wall!


    It''s a good time to practice a handstand!"


    As she spoke, her legs slowly lowered, and her delicate, graspable feet hooked onto Alexander''s shoulders on either side of his neck.


    Fuck!


    A surge of blood rushed to his head, and the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose,bined with the beautiful sight before him, almost caused Alexander to have a stroke.


    He was just a child, after all!


    Just as Alexander was about to have a nosebleed, a terrified scream came from the bedroom.


    "Ah!!!"


    Sophia was in danger!

 Chapter 16: I’m already one of them

    <h4>Chapter 16: I''m already one of them</h4>


    Suddenly, Alexander dropped the two jade feet that had been hanging over his shoulders and, without any hesitation, his body, strengthened by ghostly power, dashed towards the bedroom like lightning.


    "Big brother Alexander!"


    As Alexander rushed into the bedroom, a petite and gentle figure leaped up and threw herself into his arms. Her arms tightly encircled his neck, and her two snow-white legs clung to his waist, embracing him like an octopus.


    It seemed like nothing was wrong!


    She must have encountered something like a cockroach or a bug, right?


    Alexander and the arriving Isabe both breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Sofia, don''t be afraid, your big brother is here!" Alexander quickly tried tofort her and wanted to reach out to gently stroke Sofia''s back, but his hand stopped in mid-air, a look of embarrassment on his face.


    Sofia had been changing clothes just now, her white short shirt and suspender jeans were ced on the edge of the bed, along with a yoga suit simr to Isabe''s.


    At the moment, Sofia was wearing nothing on her upper body, only a pink cartoon underwear covering her lower half. Sofia''s chest was soft and delicate, possessing an elegant and enchanting charm, with her nipples resembling charming, adorable cherries.


    The seventeen-year-old girl''s chest had already developed to a significant size, and her milk-like skin pressed against him was too much for any man to bear!


    Although her chest was beautiful, it made Alexander feel extremely awkward, especially since her mother was standing right behind him.


    "Sofia,e down! You''re too old to be so jumpy. What did you see that scared you so much?"


    Isabe hurriedly took a coat from the hanger and almost forcibly pulled Sofia off Alexander, saying impatiently, "Last time you saw a cockroach, you stepped on it right away. Did you see a mouse this time?"


    Unexpectedly, Sofia seemed not to have heard her mother''s words at all. Like a marite, she allowed herself to be pulled down and let her mother drape the coat over her. Her small face was pale white, her lively,rge eyes filled with dullness and fear, and her petite body shivering uncontrobly.


    "What''s the matter with you?"


    Isabe quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked.


    From a young age, her daughter had been lively and active, with more courage than most girls her age. She spent her days ying wildly, following Alexander around, and was only afraid of mice among snakes, insects, and rats. But even seeing a mouse wouldn''t scare her like this!


    "What happened?" Alexander also opened his eyes, which he had been pretending to keep closed, and seeing Sofia like this, he immediately realized something strange was going on.


    Following Sofia''s frightened gaze, his eyes scanned the room, and when theynded on the desk, his pupils suddenly shrank.


    Taking a few steps forward, Alexander picked up a piece of paper on the desk.


    The material was thick, somewhat like the flyers handed out on the streets. There was a job advertisement printed on it.


    However, apart from the advertisement, the entire paper was sttered with blood.


    Strangely, as Alexander picked it up, the blood on it began to slowly slide down, dripping onto the floor.


    As the blood slid away, the contents of the job advertisement were revealed.


    Fierce Ghost Restaurant Job Advertisement


    Located in the center of Ghost City, the Fierce Ghost Restaurant, known for its strict rules and booming business, is now hiring ten waiters.


    Recruitment conditions: attentive, courageous, attractive appearance, with healthy limbs, tender flesh, and willing to contribute to the restaurant.


    Please make the necessary preparations if you have received this recruitment notice. On thest day of the month, you will be guided to enter.


    Recipient: Sofia


    At the bottom of the job advertisement was a picture of the restaurant.


    The ck and white image depicted a deste, dpidated street with traces of dark red, seemingly dried blood everywhere.


    The worn-out signboard flickered with a dim yellow light, and on both sides of the blood-stained restaurant door were two bronze statues of girls, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.


    The girl statues knelt on both sides of the restaurant, their eyes wide open, bellies bulging. From their navels, a copper pipe extended downward, leading to an oilmp. The dim yellow light from themp suggested that the oil seemed to flow from the girls'' stomachs.


    Eternal Lamps!


    Alexander seemed to have seen them in a book in his previous life.


    However, the difference was that these two girls appeared to be made of brass, but their eyes seemed as lively as those of living people. Even though it was just a picture, it still gave Alexander the feeling of being watched.


    Hair-raising!


    "What is that?"


    Seeing the blood dripping from the recruitment notice in Alexander''s hand, Isabe screamed and courageously approached.


    When she clearly saw the content of the notice in Alexander''s hand, her charming and lovely face instantly lost its color, and she copsed to the ground.


    Alexander hurriedly held Isabe by the waist, catching her.


    Even though her delicate body was in his arms, Alexander''s heart was devoid of any romantic feelings.


    He had mentioned before that there were many ways to enter a horror-themed instance, with the mostmon being directly chosen at the age of eighteen.


    The most bizarre method was the one they were experiencing now.


    Death notices, admission notices, recruitment advertisements, supermarket discount coupons...


    The reason why this method was bizarre was that it was unpredictable and had no age limit.


    It was possible that you would find a hundred-dor bill on the street, excitedly step on it, pick it up when nobody was around, only to discover it was an underworld currency.


    The Ghostly Restaurant instance was well-known, not only among the chosen ones but also among ordinary people.


    This type of instance was called an open instance, also the most terrifying type, and a graveyard for neers.


    No one knew what they would encounter after entering, just like the video Alexander watched at school, where the vengeful ghost had been cut into countless pieces by her boyfriend. The ghost was full of resentment, and its power was at least at the level of a fierce ghost, if not higher.


    Even experienced individuals who had been through several instances had died in such instances.


    "What do we do... What do we do..."


    Isabe clearly knew this as well, and her body went limp in Alexander''s arms. Her face had no color, tears the size of beans continuously fell, and she seemed to be in a dazed, soulless state.


    "Don''t worry! Isabe, I might have a way!" Alexander said hastily, seeing that the mother and daughter might go insane if this continued.


    "Really?" The mother and daughter looked at Alexander simultaneously. Isabe broke free and knelt down in front of Alexander, hugging his legs tightly and saying excitedly, "Alexander, do you really have a solution? Please save my daughter!


    As long as you can save Sofia, I will do anything for you! From now on, everything of mine is yours, and I will do whatever you want!"


    Isabe was clearly panicked and kept begging. She even grabbed Alexander''s hand and pushed it towards her chest, saying excitedly, "Although I am older, I am very obedient. If you save Sofia''s life, my daughter and I will be yours."


    "Isabe, don''t be like this! I will definitely save Sofia, and if necessary, I will take her ce!"


    Alexander quickly withdrew his hand and spoke up.


    "You''ll take her ce?" Isabe was slightly taken aback. She hadn''t expected Alexander to suggest such a method and said excitedly, "No, that''s called the most dangerous novice instance. And once you enter, even if you survive, you will be a chosen one, having to experience it at least once a month, and it''s almost certain death!"


    "No!" Sofia also rushed forward, holding Alexander tightly and saying, "The horror world is too dangerous, and this recruitment notice is for me. Alexander, I won''t let you die!"


    "Danger oftenes with opportunities, and besides..."


    Alexander gave a bitter smile, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed his arm.


    "I''m already one of them."

 Chapter 17: I don’t want you to have any regrets

    <h4>Chapter 17: I don''t want you to have any regrets</h4>


    "Death Tattoo!"


    Mother and daughter both eximed in surprise.


    Seeing Alexander''s blood-red tattoo, Isabe was even more shocked:


    "Blood color, you... you''ve already experienced it once?"


    "Yep!" Alexander nodded and said, "I just came out not too long ago and have passed the neer assessment to be an official Chosen. If it weren''t for this tattoo, I wouldn''t have been able to help Sophia even if I wanted to."


    The only solution for this type of invitation was for the one with the Death Tattoo to touch the invitation item and enter on behalf of the invitee.


    The room fell silent for a moment.


    After a while, Isabe came back to her senses, looking at Alexander with a mixture of pity and affection, and asked:


    "The instance world must be dangerous, right? I heard that those who enter, especially neers, suffer a lot and have a slim chance of survival. You must have had a hard time inside?"


    "Actually, it was more thrilling than dangerous. I quite enjoyed it," Alexander thought about his experience in the instance and said:


    "I entered a school instance. The ghosts inside were really nice, the teachers were gentle, and the ssmates were very enthusiastic and spoke kindly. Everyone loved to learn and often asked for advice. I wasn''t very good at studying, but luckily, I had a top student as my deskmate who was always willing to help and solve problems for ssmates."


    Pfft!


    Sophia couldn''t help butugh at Alexander''s serious expression, and some of the fear on her face dissipated.


    Gentle? Enthusiastic? And eager to help?


    Is this a horror world? It seems more like a social game!


    That''s the infamous horror instance world, where countless people turn pale at the mention of it, and thousands of people die inside every day.


    "You!" Isabe red at Alexander unhappily:


    "At a time like this, you''re still trying to make usugh!"


    "I''m telling the truth!" Alexander hurriedly exined:


    "I even made a big brother in there. He''s very loyal and said he''d have my back when he makes it big!"


    A big brother? Probably a senior yer, right? It couldn''t be a ghost, could it?


    He must have said this to cheer them up and help them rx because they were so scared.


    However, it was said that the restaurant instances usually chose neers, and they wouldn''t be lucky enough to meet a senior yer in the next instance. Was he still thinking about them at this time?


    Isabe''s watery eyes gazed at Alexander, her seductive nce seemingly melting away.


    "Isabe, why are you staring at me like that?"


    Alexander felt tingling all over his body under Isabe''s gaze and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Alexander, you go out first. Sophia and I need to change our clothes. You cane back in ten minutes."


    Isabe hesitated for a long time before speaking softly.


    Alexander didn''t think too much about it, after all, Sophia was only wearing a coat on her upper body at the moment.


    Stepping outside, whispers from the mother and daughter could be heard inside.


    Alexander assumed that Isabe wasforting her daughter, so he didn''t give it much thought. He took the recruitment notice in his hand and slowly pressed it against his Death Tattoo.


    A sh of blood-red light passed, and on the recruitment notice, the characters "Sophia" turned into flowing blood, eventually bing the "Alexander."


    "Fierce Ghost Restaurant!"


    Alexander''s expression turned serious as he pondered.


    Known as the graveyard of neers, even experienced yers might not encounter much inside, so naturally, Alexander was not as rxed as he seemed on the surface.


    "There are seven days left until the end of the month. The Death Tattoo allows entrance once a month, so it seems that I won''t be able to enter another instance to increase my strength before then. Fortunately, I have one more invitation."


    Muttering under his breath, Alexander produced the invitation to the Ghost Apartment.


    He originally had not nned to enter so soon, especially since he couldn''t find any information about this Ghost Apartment instance on the Horror Forum.


    However, with the end of the month approaching and the need to enter the so-called neer graveyard, this might be his only chance to increase his strength.


    Luckily, the invitation was issued by the beautiful headteacher, who had a high favorability of 60 points, so he should not encounter any danger.


    At worst, the headteacher of a neer instance couldn''t possibly live in a luxurious ce, so it must be much weaker than the Fierce Ghost Restaurant.


    "We''re done changing, you cane in!"


    As Alexander was thinking, Isabe''s voice rang out.


    Alexander hurriedly put away the two items in his hand and pushed the door open to enter.


    Isabe and Sophia, mother and daughter, were sitting on the edge of the bed, both having changed into new clothes.


    Isabe was wearing a pinkish-white Chinese-style porcin cheongsam. Even while sitting, her exquisite figure was entuated, especially her prominent chest, which made one''s heart race.


    Beneath the cheongsam''s slit, her slender, snow-white legs were barely visible. Her small feet, painted with red nail polish, were wrapped in a pair of crystal high heels, exceptionally enticing.


    Sophia was dressed in a cute Lolita princess dress, with blue lining and whitece. She wore her hair in buns, with long pink ribbons hanging down her shoulders, white thigh-high socks, and a pair of delicate pink shoes.


    The mother and daughter sitting side by side on the bed created an extraordinarily beautiful scene.


    "Come, sit here!"


    Alexander didn''t expect that when Isabe said they were changing their clothes, she meant into such attire. He thought they would change into casual home clothes, but this was more like dressing up for a banquet!


    Seeing Alexander enter, Isabe moved slightly to the side and patted the empty space between them.


    "Isabe..."


    Alexander swallowed his saliva.


    The space between them was a bit too small, wasn''t it?


    However, Isabe seemed not to notice Alexander''s difort. She stood up, pulled him to sit down close to her, and then sat down right beside him as well.


    Hmm...it''s a bit crowded.


    The warmth from both sides made Alexander feel a bit dry-mouthed.


    "Alexander, as far as I know, you''ve never had a girlfriend, right?"


    Isabe casually ced her hand on Alexander''s leg, speaking to him. Because they were so close, her warm breath hit Alexander''s ear.


    "No...no!"


    Alexander didn''t know what Isabe meant, but he stuttered a reply.


    "What I mean is... the world of horror is so dangerous, especially instances like the Ghost Restaurant. There''s a high chance you might note back, and I... don''t want you to have any regrets."


    As Isabe spoke, her hand gently moved on Alexander''s leg, gradually getting closer.


    Alexander wanted to avoid it, but Sofia was right next to him, leaving no room to dodge. His legs were somewhat unresponsive, and he said with a trembling voice:


    "Isabe, Sofia... Sofia is still here!"


    Isabe gave a charming smile, her actions on his leg not stopping, as she leaned closer to Alexander:


    "You''re willing to risk your life for us. What can''t we do for you? I told you, she should be happier watching you, right? I don''t want you to have any regrets! If you can make it back alive, let Sofia marry you when shees of age. As long as you don''t mind... both Isabe and Sofia are yours!"


    With that, she yfully extended her tongue and brushed it past Alexander''s earlobe.

 Chapter 18: Entering the Ghost Apartment

    <h4>Chapter 18: Entering the Ghost Apartment</h4>


    "No! No way!" Alexander''s remaining sanity was on the verge of copse. He leaped up suddenly and dashed out as if he was trying to escape.


    Behind him, Isabe and Sofia exchanged nces, their faces revealing a slightly meaningful smile.


    It wasn''t until he rushed into his own house and let the icy cold tap water pour onto his head that Alexander regained some rity.


    After all, he had lived two lives; otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand it.


    It wasn''t that he was such an upright gentleman, but rather that the people he faced had different identities.


    Isabe had watched him grow up since he was a child. After his parents passed away, she took care of Alexander with meticulous attention.


    There was even a time when Alexander had a high fever that wouldn''t subside, and no one noticed. If it weren''t for Isabe calling him over for dinner and seeing his condition, he might have lost his life.


    Sofia, on the other hand, had grown up ying with him since they were young, like a close sister. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have hesitated to enter the thrilling world on her behalf.


    Moreover, they were neighbors. If anything were to happen, Alexander couldn''t forgive himself.


    Drying his hair, Alexander returned to his bedroom andy on the bed, but he couldn''t fall asleep no matter what.


    The enchanting scenes in his mind seemed like a curse constantly attacking his heart and spirit.


    Knock, knock!


    Just then, a knock on the door sounded.


    Looking through the peephole, Alexander saw only Sofia standing outside, and he breathed a sigh of relief.


    Compared to Isabe, although Sofia''s youthful beauty was attractive, it didn''t have the kind of irresistible temptation.


    "Sofia, is there anything else?"


    Opening the door, Alexander cautiously stood at the entrance.


    He was afraid that Sofia would also learn from Isabe and pounce on him without any regrets.


    Once was already challenging enough for Alexander''s willpower; if it happened again, he was afraid he would truly lose control.


    "Pfft!"


    Seeing Alexander''s cautious appearance, Sofia couldn''t help butugh. Her face turned red as she handed him something and said, "This appeared alongside the recruitment notice. It might be of some help to you, big brother Alexander. You...you muste back alive! Otherwise... Sofia will never have a boyfriend in this lifetime!"


    Looking at Sofia''s serious expression, Alexander nodded earnestly, "Don''t worry, I''ll definitelye back alive!"


    Sofia''s big, watery eyes stared at Alexander. Seeing that he had no intention of letting her in, she suddenly took a step forward, stood on her tiptoes, and gently kissed Alexander''s face before turning around and running away.


    "Well, now I''ll have even more trouble sleeping!"


    Alexander closed the door with a bitter smile, touched his cheek, and sighed helplessly as he looked at the object in his hand.


    Immediately after, he was stunned.


    Across from him, just as Alexander closed his door, the door of the opposite room opened.


    Isabe and Sofia stood in the room, their beautiful eyes fixed on Alexander''s door.


    "Did you give it to him?"


    "I did!"


    "The only chance, I hope it helps a bit!"


    "He will definitely seed!"


    "Yes! He definitely will!"


    ...


    Inside the room, Alexander stared at the object in his hand with a dumbfounded expression, unable to believe what he was seeing.


    A piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.


    Ghost Coin


    What he was holding turned out to be Ghost Coins - a total of three thousand!


    Ghost Coins were the universal currency in the thrilling world, not only used by the chosen ones but also by the evil spirits within the instances.


    There are three known uses for Ghost Coins today.


    First, they serve as currency in the thrilling world where they can be used to purchase items.


    For example, as mentioned before, there are supermarkets, cafeterias, and even vending machines in some scenes of the school instances. Even if one enters a store instance as an employee, they can still use Ghost Coins to buy things from the store.


    In some more formidable instances, one can even directly purchase ghost items from vending machines and the like within the instance.


    The second use is to replenish one''s ghost energy. The energy contained within Ghost Coins can be directly absorbed. Although it will not increase the upper limit, the consumed ghost energy can be replenished through Ghost Coins.


    For instance, Alexander had previously used a bloodstained baseball bat, injecting all his ghost energy into it, making it stronger but also depleting all his energy at once.


    If one has enough Ghost Coins, they can quickly replenish the consumed energy.


    Thest use is to choose an instance. All chosen ones must go through an instance every month. Most of the time, it''s random, but one can also use Ghost Coins to enter most public instances.


    These instances have been experienced by veterans, and some of them have very low difficulty levels, with very few casualties in individual instances.


    For example, in a public instance called Silent Hill, most of the evil spirits are terrifyingly hideous, but they have no attack power and seem to only scare people. There is only one evil spirit that will hunt down the chosen ones. If one hides well or runs fast, their survival rate will significantly increase.


    Although the rewards are not high, many people are eager to try these so-called "transition instances."


    Thrilling instances cannot be entered consecutively, but one can still enter them once every other month. Therefore, most people choose to enter Silent Hill every other month since it poses little danger.


    However, the entry fee is a whopping 200 Ghost Coins, which many people simply cannot afford.


    Don''t think that 200 is a small amount, as even Alexander''s S-level rookie assessment only rewards that much.


    The three S-level evaluators who had been exposed once had the best rewards of only one ghost item and 150 Ghost Coins. This was the highest known evaluation in the thrilling world since its inception, apart from Alexander''s!


    Ordinary chosen ones'' main quests only reward 30 to 50 Ghost Coins. Even after several experiences, highly evaluated veterans who havepleted one or two main quests will not earn much more than Alexander''s S-level reward in a single instance.


    The value of Ghost Coins is therefore self-evident.


    "Something''s not right!" As he watched the Ghost Coins in his hand turn into a stream of light and enter his tattoo, Alexander furrowed his brow.


    Three thousand Ghost Coins were undoubtedly a huge sum in the thrilling world.


    He had never heard of such invitation items also giving away Ghost Coins.


    And a full 3,000 at that! That''s equivalent to six S-level rookie assessments!


    This was simply too unreasonable!


    Many restaurant and hotel instances had appeared in the past, and there were no shortage of people pulled in by such invitation items. If such a situation existed, it would be impossible to keep it a secret!


    Alexander pondered, fearing that this time''s fierce ghost restaurant instance might not be so simple.


    Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of urgency overwhelmed him.


    He must increase his strength as soon as possible!


    However, having just entered an instance, he would have to wait until the beginning of next month to enter again, by which time it would be toote.


    Now, there were only two ways: either find a simr item from a "Worked to Death" recruitment list before the end of the month, or use the invitation from the beautiful teacher.


    Searching for a simr item was out of the question, as they were quite rare. Although those who obtained them wished someone else would take over, time was limited, and Alexander needed one before the end of the month.


    Moreover, actively seeking out others posed the risk of exposing his identity.


    "It seems like I have no choice but to use the invitation!"


    Since he couldn''t stop thinking about the seductive images every time he closed his eyes, he might as well take this opportunity to enter the instance.


    With that thought, Alexander brought out the invitation to the Ghost Apartment and used it through his tattoo.


    The next moment, a sh of light and a wave of dizziness washed over him.


    Immediately after, a piece of information appeared in Alexander''s mind.

 Chapter 19: It’s just that your damn ears are good, huh?

    <h4>Chapter 19: It''s just that your damn ears are good, huh?</h4>


    "Congrattions, you have sessfully entered the Ghost Apartment instance!"


    "This time, you are invited to enter as a guest, with no time limit, no main quest, no final reward, and you can return at any time after leaving the dangerous situation.


    "A special reminder, the Ghost Apartment is extremely dangerous. For the sake of guests'' safety, please do not walk around randomly. If you, who has no identity, leave the room, you will encounter terrible things."


    Damn it!


    Looking at the information that emerged in his mind, Alexander almost cursed out loud.


    There''s even a special reminder, it seems that this Ghost Apartment is not as safe as imagined!


    What''s even more horrifying is that Alexander didn''t appear directly in the room of the female ghost ss teacher named Su Rong.


    Instead, he was in a narrow and long corridor.


    The corridor was empty, with a room at every interval.


    From the rooms, asionally, a shrill scream or a terrifying roar could be heard, followed by a deathly silence.


    Above their heads, the old-fashioned white-wovenmps emitted dim light, flickering from time to time.


    On the ground, walls, and even the doors of each room, dark red bloodstains were everywhere. Some were rusty iron doors, and some were dpidated wooden doors.


    Some doorways had a few ck stic bags, not knowing what was inside, emitting a foul smell. A few even had dark red viscous liquid seeping out.


    The door closest to Alexander had two skull heads hanging on either side, likenterns, with dark hollow eyes emitting a faint green glow.


    The bloodstained doorte number read 101.


    However, on Alexander''s invitation, the female ghost Su Rong''s door number was 108.


    He had to walk at least a dozen steps forward!


    The dim environment of this corridor was ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than the vengeful spirit school.


    Alexander felt his hair stand on end, wanting to hurry to Su Rong''s door as quickly as possible, and hurriedly lifted his foot to take a step.


    Step!


    As his right footnded, a crisp sound instantly made Alexander''s hair stand on end.


    What kind of ghostly floor is this? Sneakers make more noise than high heels on stairs!


    Cold sweat started to run down his forehead.


    "Ah!"


    A sharp scream came from the room on the left, making Alexander''s heart jump.


    Fortunately, the scream had just sounded once before and didn''t cause any changes.


    Suddenly, an idea popped into Alexander''s mind.


    Perhaps the scream was a cover; as soon as it sounded, he could just move forward!


    With that thought, Alexander stopped and waited.


    Time seemed to slow down, and Alexander finally experienced the feeling of time dragging on.


    Each extra second brought more danger; who knew if any ghosts woulde home or go out at this moment?


    Large beads of sweat kept falling, and finally, with a heart-wrenching scream, Alexander''s heart leaped, and he abruptly quickened his pace.


    Step! Step!


    Walking too fast, he couldn''t stop in time, and two crisp footsteps echoed in the dim corridor.


    At least he had arrived at his destination!


    "Skin-peeling ghost, is there someone outside? Go check!"


    Suddenly, a hoarse female voice came from a room next door, as if her vocal cords were shredded and reced with stic cloth, hoarse and piercing.


    A chill instantly rose from the soles of his feet.


    "What''s there to look at? My skin is worn out again; you''d better sew it up for me!" A rough, brutal voice sounded.


    "Broken again? It seems like it''s time for a new one. How nice it would be to get a living person, give you a new skin, and have a feast..."


    The hoarse voice gradually lowered.


    Alexander''s scalp tingled, and he hesitated while looking at the door in front of him.


    Knocking on the door would undoubtedly make noise.


    But not knocking meant waiting for death here!


    Biting his teeth, Alexander reached out and gently knocked on the door.


    "Skin-peeling ghost, it sounds like someone''s knocking on the door!"


    Damn, your ears are just too good!


    Alexander cursed inwardly, and the man''s voice next door sounded again:


    "So, it''s just that your damn ears are good, huh?"


    Damn, a kindred spirit!


    This guy''s attitude of not meddling is excellent! He should repay him when the opportunity arises.


    As this thought crossed his mind, the man''s voice sounded again.


    "Can''t you go and see for yourself? It''s embarrassing for me to go out with my broken skin!"


    You can''t take praise!


    Alexander''s hair was about to stand on end when he heard the woman say:


    "I''ll go, just give me your head!"


    Immediately after, there was a thud, and the woman''s voice sounded again:


    "How dare you throw my head away so casually! Believe it or not, I''ll burn your skin!"


    Her voice was getting closer and closer to the door.


    It''s over!


    Alexander''s soul was about to escape his body.


    "Who''s there?"


    Just then, a familiar voice came from the room in front of him.


    It was the female ghost head teacher, Su Rong!


    Alexander was instantly invigorated, fearing that she might not be at home.


    The doorknobs of both rooms turned almost simultaneously.


    Alexander''s heart raced at that moment.


    Finally, the door in front of him opened, and Su Rong''s charming face appeared before Alexander''s eyes.


    Seeing Alexander, the female ghost Su Rong was slightly startled and immediately pulled him in.


    "A human! A living person!"


    A scream rang out, and Alexander turned his head, taking ast nce at the room next door before entering Su Rong''s room.


    There was a headless female ghost dressed in white.


    More precisely, she couldn''t be considered headless, as her head was held in her hand, a pair of lifeless eyes staring fixedly at Alexander.


    From those eyes, which were as lifeless as a dead person''s, Alexander could only see greed.


    Bang!


    The door was tightly closed, and from outside, a cacophony of noises could be heard.


    The entire corridor seemed to be boiling, the original silence instantly turning into noise, and the sounds of doors opening rang out one after another.


    Now they were in trouble! Alexander''s face turned pale.


    "Come in, don''t worry, there are rules here! They won''t dare to mess around!"


    Su Rong''s reassuring voice rang out, allowing Alexander to breathe a slight sigh of relief.


    Subconsciously looking around, it was a very simple living room. On a somewhat old desk were some exercise books. A few wooden stools, and a sofa that seemed to have been bought from a second-hand market, other than that, there was nothing else.


    Su Rong seemed to have just taken a bath, wrapped in a towel, with wet hair draped over her shoulders. Apart from her slightly pale skin, she looked no different from an ordinary person under normal circumstances.


    On the contrary, her charming face was even more alluring than Isabe''s, and her figure was not inferior at all. The delicate drops of water on her corbone exuded a unique charm.


    However, Alexander had no interest in appreciating the beauty, still feeling uneasy.


    "I didn''t expect you to reallye looking for me. Aren''t you afraid of encountering danger?"


    "Being invited by a beauty, how could I refuse! Besides, it''s my beloved beautiful teacher, even if it''s dangerous, it''s worth it!"


    Alexander, who was slightly calmer, blurted out without hesitation.


    He hadn''t forgotten the purpose of his visit. Apart from looking for ways to increase his strength, his main goal was to improve his favorability, brushing it up to eighty or ny, or even higher, to see if he could get any useful items.


    "Hehe, you have such a sweet tongue!"


    The female ghost Su Rong showed a smile on her face, and her favorability instantly changed from 66 to 67.


    "You''re wrong!"


    Alexander''s face turned serious, and he decisively shook his head.


    "Oh? Where am I wrong?" The female ghost Su Rong slightly frowned.


    "My tongue is sweet because your smile has honey on it; your smile is even sweeter!"


    Alexander flirted with the female ghost on the edge of provocation, paying attention to Su Rong''s favorability changes at all times. However, what excited him was that the favorability kept rising, indicating that Su Rong didn''t dislike his behavior.

 Chapter 20: Just one point away

    <h4>Chapter 20: Just one point away</h4>


    In that moment, Alexander disyed the pinnacle of his skills in ttery and shamelessness, umted over three to four decades in his previous life.


    Su Rong couldn''t help but cover her mouth andugh lightly again, and her favorability instantly changed.


    After a long time, Su Rong stoppedughing and said,


    "You must have deceived a lot of girls with this method, right?"


    "I only speak the truth! Besides, I''ve never been in a rtionship! After all, not everyone is like you, teacher. My heart is too narrow; when you''re in it, no one else can enter!"


    Alexander spoke without blushing or panting.


    Su Rong''s mouth twitched slightly, and she stared at Alexander intently. A hint of blood-red brilliance shed in her eyes, and then sheughed, saying,


    "I believe you, big boy! From now on, don''t call me teacher, call me Sister!"


    Her favorability increased by another two points, reaching 69 points.


    Alexander''s heart suddenly soared, but his expression remained unchanged, his back already soaked in sweat.


    Big boy, what does that mean if not clear!


    Judging from her previous appearance, she obviously found out about his virginity in some way and believed him.


    If he hadn''t been able to resist the temptations of Isabe and Sophia, mother and daughter, before, then now...


    Even if nothing happens, she''s favorability would surely plummet!


    Alexander was extremely grateful in his heart.


    "What are you thinking about?"


    Su Rong asked with curiosity.


    "Thinking about you!"


    Alexander blurted out, his gaze fixed on Su Rong''s snowy white shoulders as he thought about the situation.


    "You!" Su Rong pouted, seemingly a little angry, and red at Alexander, saying,


    "You have such a dirty mind, I shouldn''t have invited you!"


    Angry?


    Alexander was startled, but his favorability didn''t change, so he quickly remedied,


    "It''s all because you, Sister, are too... too beautiful! No! No! It''s all my fault for being too weak-willed!"


    Alexander stumbled and stuttered, putting all his strength into blushing, his face slightly red, like a shy and inexperienced boy.


    "You! You''re quite eloquent, but I didn''t expect you to be so shy. You really are a big boy!"


    Su Rongughed, and although her favorability didn''t increase this time, she was clearly not angry anymore. She said,


    "Wait here, I''ll go change my clothes, so you won''t keep trying to take advantage of me!"


    Alexander immediately looked embarrassed, watching Su Rong disappear into the bedroom, his gaze bing more serious.


    Outside the door, the noise gradually subsided, and the sounds of doors closing could be heard repeatedly.


    Apparently, the evil spirits who hade out had all returned to their rooms, and Alexander couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    He didn''t know how a female ghost would change clothes, but Su Rong''s speed was astonishingly fast. When she came out, she saw Alexander''s relieved expression and couldn''t help butugh, saying,


    "What are you worried about? I told you, there are rules in the Ghost Apartment. As long as you are my guest and don''t leave this room, no one wille to bother you. If you''re so scared, why did you evene here?"


    "I don''t want toe to such a dangerous ce either! But you are here!"


    Alexander put on a helpless expression, which brought a smile back to Su Rong''s face.


    Her favorability increased by another point.


    With no time limit and no way out, there was no point in thinking about other ways to increase his strength. Alexander began to desperately raise Su Rong''s favorability.

    These messy online secrets from his previous life were actually quite useful. At least in his previous life, Alexander had managed to be a top sales training instructor, sought after by countlesspanies, thanks in part to these techniques.


    Alexander, who had long since mastered these techniques, naturally spoke with ease.


    As Alexander disyed his top-notch social flirting skills, the level of affection gradually increased.


    Alexander also discovered some patterns.


    In the previous school instances, most of what he said werepliments, but as the affection level increased, some flirting techniques could be employed as well.


    When the affection level reached 70 points, Alexander clearly noticed that Su Rong could now tolerate some mildly inappropriate jokes.


    With an affection level of 80 points, Alexander took the initiative to lightly pat Su Rong''s back to help her feel morefortable, and she only stiffened a bit initially.


    Time passed as Alexander continued to test the waters.


    When the affection level reached 80 points, Alexander realized thatnguage alone was no longer enough to increase the affection level.


    No matter how much he ttered and flirted, even if Su Rongughed heartily, the affection level showed no signs of further improvement.


    It seemed it was time to use his secret weapon!


    Alexander thought to himself, his eyes filled with affection as he stared at Su Rong:


    "Rong, actually, I came on this adventure for another reason as well!"


    "What is it?" Su Rong''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but perhaps because the affection level had reached a certain limit, she added, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"


    "Actually..."


    Alexander stood up and took out the S-rated reward, the Bone Ring, from his tattoo and handed it over:


    "I came to give sister a gift!"


    Although the name and story of the Bone Ring might sound terrifying, its appearance was not frightening at all.


    On the contrary, the ring-like Bone Ring emitted a faint, ghostly white glow, like the purest white jade. The faint blood-red patterns on it, like red jade, covered one-third of the surface, making it enchantingly beautiful.


    "What a beautiful ring! You riskeding here just to give me this ring? That''s too risky! If I happened to be away, you would have undoubtedly died."


    Su Rong happily epted the ring.


    "I know, but I had toe!" Alexander said without hesitation, "Because among all the people I know, only the most beautiful you are worthy of the most beautiful her!"


    In reality, Alexander was just making things up.


    He thought he would appear directly in Su Rong''s room and hadn''t considered the possibility of her not being at home.


    As for only Su Rong being worthy among the people he knew, that was even more of a nonsense.


    Alexander only knew Su Rong as a ghost, setting aside favorability, would he give a Bone Ring to Isabe or Sophia instead?


    However, it seemed Su Rong didn''t know this, and her favorability skyrocketed to 99 points. Her eyes filled with gratitude, she hugged Alexander tightly.


    "Thank you! Thank you, I really love this gift!"


    99 points!


    Only one point away!


    Not only was it a matter of favorability, but Su Rong had even taken the initiative to hug him!


    Alexander tentatively wrapped his arm around Su Rong''s slender waist. Her delicate body shuddered, but she didn''t show any signs of pulling away or displeasure. She even pressed her face against Alexander''s chest.


    Her skin was a little cool, but it wasn''t as cold as he had imagined.


    Aside from being slightly cooler than a living person''s skin, it felt no different and was even more delicate and smooth.


    Alexander''s attention returned to the favorability.


    It was at 99 points, but there was no reward notification. It seemed he would only get the reward at 100 points.


    However, the nearlyplete favorability also disheartened Alexander.


    The Tombstone Rose could increase favorability by 30 points, and the S-rank reward Bone Ring would clearly be even higher, but it only increased by 19 points. There was only one possibility.


    Thest point was a threshold, not so easily broken.


    Alexander pondered, his hand pressed against Su Rong''s cool back, gently stroking.


    This was certainly not to take advantage of her, but mainly to test the extent to which favorability could affect Su Rong.


    Whether others believed it or not, that was what Alexander thought anyway.


    As Alexander''s hand roamed, even slipping into her shirt, unsping her bra, and touching her full breasts, Su Rong showed no sign of anger.


    Under his caress, her breasts changed shape. Alexander even touched her sensitive nipples with his fingers, yet Su Rong still showed no anger. Instead, she happily copsed into Alexander''s arms.


    It seemed that the effect of favorability was even more powerful than he had imagined!


    Alexander was secretly delighted, just as he was about to further take advant...no, further test the limits.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    A series of urgent and forceful knocks on the door were apanied by an irate man''s voice.


    "Su Rong, get out here!"


    In his arms, Su Rong''s face suddenly changed color.

 Chapter 21: Unforgettable coming-of-age gift

    <h4>Chapter 21: Unforgettableing-of-age gift</h4>


    "Sister, didn''t you say they wouldn''t dare to cause trouble here?"


    Upon hearing the shouting outside, Alexander''s heart sank.


    "Well... this isn''t because of you, they''re looking for me!"


    Su Rong''s face was filled with embarrassment and awkwardness, while the knocking outside grew increasingly fierce, as if proving her words.


    "Su Rong, if you can borrow money, you can open the door!"


    "Don''t hide inside and not make a sound; I know you''re home!"


    "If you can borrow money, you can open the door!"


    "If you don''t pay the mortgage, I''ll kick you out tomorrow!"


    ...


    Listening to the shouting outside, Alexander was stunned.


    There''s so much information!


    Is the ghost realm this difficult? They even have mortgages?


    Su Rong gritted her teeth, got up from Alexander''s arms, and opened the door.


    Outside stood an extremely obese man.


    His skin was pale and bloated like an inted balloon, some parts even rotting away, with water dripping from his body.


    This was a drowned ghost!


    Alexander immediately identified the man''s identity.


    Just then, the drowned ghost''s swollen, bulging eyes hanging on his face by several blood vessels also looked towards Alexander and smiled.


    "So, there really is a living person here!"


    "Michael, can you give me some more time? I didn''t make much ghost money this month!" Su Rong was obviously wary of the drowned ghost.


    "No money? If you don''t have money, why did you buy a house like other ghosts!" The drowned ghost, Michael, changed his face instantly. "You were already behindst month; you must pay this month! A total of 6,000 ghost coins! How much are you short?"


    "Short... short by 4,000!" Su Rong lowered her head.


    "4,000? You haven''t even gathered a month''s worth?" The drowned ghost snorted coldly, looking at Alexander:


    "How about you use him as coteral? Exactly 4,000! Hey, don''t tell me you were nning this all along?"


    The drowned ghost spoke while his eyes hanging on his face turned towards Alexander, and the corner of his mouth split, revealing a creepy smile.


    "No, no! He''s my guest, he can''t be coteral!" Su Rong shook her head repeatedly.


    "Then take your guest and get out of the apartment!" The drowned ghost yelled harshly.


    "Wait!" Alexander couldn''t help but interrupt. If they were really kicked out, there would be no rules to protect them outside.


    No matter what happened to Su Rong, he would surely die!


    Not caring about anything else, he stood up and said:


    "You can pawn things here, right? Can ghost items be pawned?"


    "Of course! You have something valuable? You''re just a flesh worm that just passed the exam! Other than your body, what else could be worth anything?"


    The drowned ghost looked very disdainful.


    "How about this?" Alexander took out the bloodstained baseball bat.


    "Trash, worth thirty at most!"


    Only thirty ghost coins?


    Alexander reached out again, this time for the cigarette with three straws removed.


    "This is interesting; I''ll give you a hundred ghost coins for it!"


    One hundred and thirty!


    Alexander gritted his teeth and took out the chainsaw with the human skin face.


    "This is a good item, I''ll give you 600!" The drowned ghost finally showed some interest, and his tone became slightly more cheerful.


    What about these things?


    Alexander simply took out all the items he got as system rewards, such as incense, candles, and paper money.


    "How did a newbie like you get these things?" The drowned ghost licked the crack in his mouth, and the two eyeballs on his face seemed to rise slightly.


    "You don''t need to worry about that, just give me a price! Can these items together be worth 1,000?" Although Alexander was a bit scared, he remained calm on the surface.


    "1,000? It''s not quite enough, but I can agree to it! However..."


    The drowned ghost waved his hand, and all the items on the ground were taken away. Then, he changed the subject andughed, "There are still 3,000 left, right?"


    Alexander also smiled, unhurriedly extending his hand. In his palm was the roll of 3,000 ghost coins given by Sofia.


    "Are you trying to trick me?" The drowned ghost''s eyeballs suddenly bulged, almost covering half of his face, staring at Alexander viciously.


    "Michael, right? You said those items were worth 1,000, and you''ve already taken them. You wouldn''t be thinking of going back on your word, would you?"


    Alexander was gambling on the rules of the apartmentplex.


    Fortunately, he seemed to have made the right bet. The drowned ghost snorted and turned away, saying:


    "I''ll be back next month, and you won''t be so lucky then!"


    After the drowned ghost left, Su Rong and Alexander both breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Thank you, thank you!" Su Rong gratefully squeezed Alexander''s hand.


    "What are you thanking me for? I told you I like you!" Alexander''s smile was a bit bitter, but he still said it through his tears.


    "Aren''t you disgusted that I''m a ghost?" Suddenly, Su Rong raised her head and looked at Alexander seriously.


    "Of course not, my love for you, Alexander, is not something that can be separated by life and death!"


    "Congrattions on reaching a 100-point peak in favorability. Skill ''Social Communication Unhindered Charm Syndrome'' special effect triggered! Obtain Su Rong''s ultimate friendship reward, the Ghost ve Contract!"


    A piece of information suddenly appeared in Alexander''s mind.


    Favorability reached 100!


    The ultimate reward, it sounds so impressive!


    But what is this Ghost ve Contract? Is it a contract with a ghost?


    This time, the reward waspletely different from before. There was only one item, and it didn''t appear directly in Alexander''s storage column. As countless thoughts raced through Alexander''s mind, a mysterious ck seal suddenly appeared in front of him.


    Following that, two beams of ck light shot towards Alexander and Su Rong''s brows.


    In the next moment, it seemed as if something had been added to Alexander''s mind. It was a sense of control, as if everything about Su Rong was under hismand.


    As long as he wanted, he could summon, control, and even annihte Su Rong at any time.


    "Su Rong, at your service, Master!"


    Su Rong bowed to Alexander, her face showing no reluctance, but instead a strong sense of attachment and affection.


    "Don''t be so serious, alright? You don''t have to call me ''Master''." Alexanderughed and embraced Su Rong.


    "Okay, got it!" Su Rong responded. The moment Alexander''s hand touched her arm, he could clearly feel her body soften, and her skin even turned slightly flushed.


    Was this contract a bit indecent? It wasn''t like this before, was it?


    Alexander muttered in his heart, then curiously asked, "Sister, what''s the deal with this mortgage? Do you ghosts also need loans?"


    "Shh!" As Alexander was speaking, Su Rong suddenly leaned forward, pressing herself against his chest, and ced a cold finger on his lips, "We have plenty of time. Let me serve you first, okay? I want to give my Master an unforgettableing-of-age gift!"


    Alexander''s heart uncontrobly started pounding, and he asked with a slight tremble in his voice, "Is it possible? After all, we...we..."


    "One is human, and the other is a ghost, right?" Su Rong smiled charmingly, not caring at all, and brought her cold lips closer to Alexander''s ear, "Cold and icy, don''t you want to try it? Besides, I have not only ice but also fire!"


    As she spoke, Su Rong''s finger gently moved up Alexander''s arm, with a faint ghostly aura flickering. The temperature of her finger gradually increased, even bing a bit hot in the end.

 Chapter 22: Two Extremes of Ice and Fire

    <h4>Chapter 22: Two Extremes of Ice and Fire</h4>


    As the temperature in Su Rong''s hands increased, Alexander''s clothes turned into ashes in a very short time. Her control over the ghost fire was extremely precise, not hurting Alexander in the slightest.


    At the same time, mes ignited on Su Rong''s body, and then a graceful body appeared before Alexander.


    Her breasts were firm, her skin was fair, like a perfect work of art.


    Seeing Alexander looking a bit nervous, Su Rong couldn''t help but show a charming smile, then used her hands to gently grip Alexander''s penis.


    "Don''t be so nervous, let me give you an unforgettable night tonight."


    Su Rong knelt down in front of Alexander, holding his penis with both hands, opening her mouth and taking it all in.


    Su Rong continuously kissed and sucked, using her tongue to lick Alexander''s penis, while gently biting it with her teeth. Alexander felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, and his breathing became rapid.


    Su Rong lifted her head, looking into Alexander''s eyes while still holding his penis in her mouth, making a coquettish sound.


    "Next, let me give you the unique experience of ice and fire."


    After saying this, Su Rong''s mouth became icy cold, giving Alexander a unique, cool sensation.


    Then, her mouth became hot, giving Alexander a burning sensation.


    Su Rong repeated this process continuously, giving Alexander the unique experience of ice and fire, making him feel a shaking sensation throughout his entire body, while also experiencing the stimting sensation of ice and fire.


    "Ah, it feels so good, this sensation is amazing!" Alexander couldn''t help but moan in pleasure.


    Hearing Alexander''s praise, Su Rong felt particrly happy in her heart. She began to increase her pace, forcefully sucking his penis, giving Alexander an unprecedented pleasure. The entire room was filled with the sound of their moans and lustful atmosphere.


    Su Rong''s technique of ice and fire was toofortable, Alexander felt that he was about to reach his limit, his breathing bing more and more rapid while his body began to tremble.


    "I can''t take it anymore, I need to stop."


    However, just as Alexander was about to withdraw, Su Rong grabbed his arm, while muttering unclearly: "Don''t go, just cum inside me."


    Su Rong also felt that she was about to reach orgasm, she forcefully sucked on Alexander''s penis, while letting him stimte her sensitive areas with his fingers. Eventually, both of them reached orgasm at the same time, making a pleasurable moaning sound.


    Alexander came directly into Su Rong''s mouth, she used her tongue to thoroughly clean his penis, then continued holding onto it without letting go. Alexander felt that his penis was still in Su Rong''s mouth, and she didn''t seem to want to let go.


    He felt his body bing excited again, but also felt a hint of unease. Just as he was about to call out to Su Rong, she suddenly lifted her head, revealing an evil and charming smile, then forcefully took Alexander''s penis out of her mouth and said, "We still have a lot to do, my dear."


    Alexander felt his body still highly aroused, and Su Rong''s expression and actions seemed to imply their ns for the future. He felt a mixture of excitement, anticipation, unease, and confusion.


    He didn''t know what their rtionship would be after this experience, but he knew that the feeling at this moment was so beautiful and unforgettable.


    Su Rong opened her mouth, letting Alexander see the semen he had ejacted, the quantity wasrge, almost filling her mouth.


    Su Rong swallowed it down, but due to the amount of semen, some still flowed down the corner of her mouth.


    Then Su Rong gently used her fingers to spread the semen that Alexander had ejacted onto her breasts, slowly massaging them. This scene made Alexander feel extremely aroused, he looked at Su Rong''s satisfied expression, while feeling his body bing excited again.


    Su Rong lifted her head, looked into Alexander''s eyes, with a coquettish smile, and said, "What else do you want me to do, my dear?"


    Alexander felt that his body was out of control, he yearned for more stimtion and pleasure. He looked at Su Rong''s shy and flirtatious appearance, feeling his heartbeat faster and faster.


    He whispered, "You can do anything you want, as long as you''re willing."


    When Su Rong heard these words, a hint of excitement and satisfaction shed in her eyes. She took Alexander''s hand and whispered, "Let''s go to the bathroom together, I have more surprises for you."


    The two walked hand in hand towards the bathroom, Su Rong turned on the faucet and let the water flow on her body. She turned around and looked at Alexander, her eyes flickering with teasing light.


    Her wet body looked even more sexy and charming. She walked up to Alexander, caressed his chest, and whispered, "Let me wash you."


    After speaking, Su Rong took out shower gel,thered it up, and gently applied it to Alexander''s body. Her fingers slid over his body, constantly massaging his sensitive areas.


    Alexander felt that his body waspletely under Su Rong''s control. His breathing became more and more rapid, and he felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure.


    As Su Rong bathed him, she also whispered to Alexander about some of her sexual fantasies, making him feel even more excited and aroused.


    Soon, Alexander''s penis became hard again, and he felt that he could no longer control his body. He wanted more stimtion and pleasure.


    Su Rong saw Alexander''s penis be hard again, and knew that he was ready. She stopped washing and turned to face Alexander, then gently pushed him down.


    They fell to the floor of the bathroom, Su Rong''s body tightly pressed against Alexander''s, their lips tightly locked together, passionately kissing each other.


    Then, Su Rong slowly squatted down and took Alexander''s penis into her mouth again, licking it with her tongue.


    This time, Su Rong did not use the unique ice and fire experience from before, just simple sucking and licking.


    Su Rong knew that this experience could not bring more excitement and stimtion to Alexander.


    Then, Su Rong lifted Alexander up and slowly ced him on the sink in the bathroom. She applied some lubricant to his body and gently guided his penis into her body.


    Su Rong''s body began to tremble as she felt Alexander''s penis gradually expanding inside her. She tightly closed her eyes, feeling her body being filled up.


    Her hymen was stretched open by Alexander''s penis, causing some pain, but she held back from showing it.


    Alexander felt his penis deeply inserted into Su Rong''s body. He felt his body being tightly wrapped by Su Rong, as if they were glued together. He started to move slowly, allowing Su Rong to feel an unprecedented sense of pleasure and satisfaction.


    Su Rong''s body began to tremble with Alexander''s rhythm, emitting a mesmerizing moan.


    As Su Rong felt Alexander''s penis deep inside her body, her body began to contract, as if tightly embracing Alexander''s penis. She felt a slight pain, but also an unprecedented sense of pleasure and satisfaction. She closed her eyes and moaned softly, trembling with Alexander''s rhythm.


    Alexander felt Su Rong''s body contracting, and his penis was tightly wrapped, making him feel extremely excited. He began to move quickly, making Su Rong feel even deeper pleasure and satisfaction. Their breathing became more and more rapid.


    As time passed, Alexander''s speed became faster and Su Rong''s moans became louder. She felt her body had reached its limit, but she couldn''t resist emitting the intoxicating moans. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, as if they had be one.

 Chapter 23: Becoming a Ghost Master

    <h4>Chapter 23: Bing a Ghost Master</h4>


    This is a wonderfully splendid night...


    In his past life, as a sessful individual, particrly a socialite who specialized in grooming high-end sales talent, Alexander naturally wasn''tcking for femalepanionship.


    However, his current body was still essentially a boy''s, and this intense new experience was quite the change.


    The sensation was a blend of hot and cold, both cool and warm, and it was absolutely splendid.


    "Good morning, Master!"


    After waking up Alexander, Su Rong''s tender tongue lightly licked her lips, and she made a swallowing motion, saying, "Did you sleep wellst night? Did I not disappoint the master?"


    Alexander felt a surge of desire rushing to his head, and he became aroused again below his waist. Su Rong gently held his penis with her hand and then took it into her mouth.


    Alexander felt intense pleasure and grabbed Su Rong''s hair tightly, making her take it deeper.


    He felt that he could no longer control his desire, he wanted more, he wanted Su Rong.


    One and a half hourster, Alexander, who had dressed himself, stood on the ground, feeling like he had just run a marathon. Every muscle in his body was trembling with its own thoughts.


    He now understood why humans and ghosts lead separate lives. Who could withstand this? It wasn''t about drawing in life energy or anything else; it was simply too much to bear.


    "No, I can''t do this anymore! Sister, from now on... let''s make it once a month... no, once a week. Once a week is enough!" Alexander struggled to get out of bed, feeling sore and weak, and sat on the edge of the bed again.


    "Okay, I understand, Master!" Su Rong wrapped herself in a silk quilt, sat cross-legged on the bed, leaned slightly towards Alexander, and epted hismand. Raising her head, she saw Alexander''s face and couldn''t help butugh.


    "Hurry up and get dressed, tell me about the ghost world!" Alexander patted Su Rong''s shoulder impatiently. The cold, smooth touch gave him a start and he quickly changed the subject.


    Su Rong stood up to dress, revealing her perfect body again. Alexander hastily turned away.


    It wasn''t because he was a gentleman; he was just feeling drained after a night and a morning. Despite Su Rong''s enticing body and wless skin, his physical exhaustion was fighting his mental desire.


    Body: You''re tired, you need to rest!


    Mind: No, you can have another round!


    Even if his body couldn''t bear it, his thoughts tempted him to continue.


    Soon, Su Rong had dressed and sat down on a wooden stool, allowing Alexander to breathe a sigh of relief as he began to learn about this world.


    The horror world had been here for ten years already, but even now, the veterans who had experienced various instances over these ten years couldn''t im to fully understand this world. Alexander, on the other hand, was probably the first person to lift the veil on it.


    Su Rong wore a reminiscent expression, and began to recount everything she knew about this world.


    "I only remember, I used to be a teacher at a school, and my name was Su Rong. I had a group of mischievous students who always loved to y pranks in ss. It started with toy mice, glue, and buckets of water hung on the door...ter it turned into centipedes, thumbtacks, and mousetraps ced behind the door..."


    "Their backgrounds were powerful; even the principal couldn''t manage them. Only at my request did he change my ss."


    "One day, the most obedient girl in that ss came to me in tears, her body covered in scars. I promised to help her get justice, and took her everywhere to seek help and find awyer."


    "No one was willing to help us. I even lost my job as a teacher, and moved with her into an abandoned apartment. We didn''t want to give up, we wanted justice no matter what."


    "It was a cold night. The apartment was engulfed in fire. After that, I don''t remember anything. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in this world."


    Su Rong''s voice was calm, as if she were telling someone else''s story. However, the tears gathering in her eyes told a different tale.


    Alexander extended his hand, gently wiping away the tears from her eyes. This kind woman had clearly died in an arson, silenced by the power behind those unruly students. He really wanted to avenge this pitiful woman, but it seemed like there was no chance now.


    After a long silence, seeing that Su Rong had regained herposure, Alexander held her shoulder and said, "Let the past be the past! What''s going on with this world, and how did you end up in debt?"


    "Actually, I don''t know much about this world either!" Su Rong shook her head and said, "This city is called Youdu, a vast ghost city. It has urban areas, towns, and viges."


    "Ghosts living here all have their own professions and lives. For you, schools, restaurants, supermarkets, hospitals, even buses, each ce is equivalent to an instance, and each instance has its master. The evil ghosts owning instances are called Ghost Masters. I am a Ghost Master, and the instance I own is that abandoned apartment."


    "Every month, as a Ghost Master, I can open instances and randomly invite living people to participate. I absorb their souls or fear, turning them into ghost coins, which are the most important currency in this world."


    "This world is very dangerous, especially at night, there are no rules! The city outside is filled with murder and fear. Those wandering ghosts are always at risk of being hunted. Only by owning your own house can you avoid bing prey."


    "Relying on the instance I naturally have, I initially earned some ghost coins and took out a loan to buy my own house here. However, the good times didn''tst."


    As Su Rong spoke, a bitter smile appeared on her pretty face:


    "Because all the money was spent on the house, I had no funds to buy plugins. The ie from the instance became less and less. Despite my efforts to work in other instances, it was still not enough, and now I can''t even afford to repay the loan."


    "So that''s what instances are about! You were just working part-time at the Bloody Moon School? Can I see your instance?"


    Alexander finally understood, and spoke up. After all, since Su Rong was his ghost ve now, naturally, the house loan also fell on him.


    "Fool!" Su Rongughed softly, opening her hand. A surge of ghost energy rolled out, and surprisingly, a ck bead appeared in the center of her palm.


    "This is the instance ghost bead. It can control the instance and is also the symbol of a Ghost Master! Since I am your woman, this instance naturally also belongs to you!"


    Saying this, Su Rong ced the bead in Alexander''s palm and gently pressed it. The ghost bead merged directly into his palm. Then, a message appeared in Alexander''s mind:


    "Congrattions, chosen one, on acquiring the Tube Building ghost bead, bing a Ghost Master. Your identity has changed, and attributes are updated!"


    Did he really just acquire a horror instance?


    Alexander was slightly stunned and immediately opened his attribute interface.

    Real estate in the world of horror is even more terrifying than in the real world!


    Other than bing a homeowner with a mortgage, only his three-dimensional attributes have slightly increased.


    This is as expected. Ghost Energy itself has the ability to strengthen physical attributes. As he has Ghost Energy, his physical strength will continue to increase.

    They are indeed yers, just being yed by ghosts.


    This ispletely a game!


    The Ghost Master collects fear and turns it into Ghost Coins by creating an atmosphere to scare the iing Chosen Ones.


    Once the fear is collected, they kill with a single blow, turning the soul into Ghost Coins.


    Everything is squeezed clean for profit.


    "Wait!" Suddenly, Alexander saw that the instance status could be activated and looked puzzledly at Su Rong:


    "You can''t afford the mortgage, right? Why don''t you activate the instance to earn Ghost Coins?"


    Is it out of pity? No way, it has already been activated forty or fifty times. If it was out of pity, where would the down payment for the housee from?


    Su Rong''s pretty face blushed, and she was somewhat embarrassed as she fiddled with the corner of her clothes and mumbled, "It... it can lead to losses. I''ve been relying on part-time jobs to pay the mortgage, and I haven''t activated it for a long time."


    "How can it lead to losses? Is the instance''s ie very low?" Alexander''s eyes widened, feeling like he might have been tricked.


    No wonder it was so easy to recognize the master. Besides the good feelings, it seems that finding someone to pay the mortgage might be the main reason too!


    "Of course, it will lead to losses!" Su Rong said matter-of-factly:


    "Activating an instance costs 300 Ghost Coins, and one soul can only amass about 20-50 Ghost Coins. Most of the time, you only get the minimum of 20."


    "And you can''t kill everyone. Although the instance can pull in new people from your world at random, there are only 50 slots per year. Most of the time, it''s the Chosen Ones signing up themselves, and only if there are not enough do we use up the slots. If we don''t leave two or three people each time, no one wille in next time."


    "What about the others... other ghosts? Do they also lose money?" Alexander asked.


    Su Rong shook her head and began to speak:"Those rich Ghost Masters would hire or purchase ghost servants, like in the Blood Moon High School. With so many ghost servants around, the fear value is definitely high, but the cost is too high!"


    "For those Ghost Masters without money, there is only one way... to sell flesh!"


    "Sell flesh? It can''t be..." Alexander''s heart skipped a beat, remembering the ck stic bags outside.


    Su Rong nodded, "Human flesh is worth some money, at least it can cover the cost!"


    Seeing Alexander''s face turn pale, Su Rong quickly exined, "Don''t worry, I have never sold or eaten any. That''s also why I''m losing money."


    Alexander breathed a sigh of relief. Although it''s a dog-eat-dog world, Alexander isn''t exactly a saint.


    After all, in such a world, if killing could improve one''s strength, he wouldn''t hesitate to orchestrate a massacre!


    But eating human flesh, even selling the flesh of his own kind as amodity, made him feel disgusted.


    However, Alexander soon asked in confusion, "What about fear? Isn''t the emotion of fear supposed to condense into Ghost Coins?"


    "They are not afraid at all! And I can''t afford ghost servants!" Su Rong moaned, "They only fear at the moment of death. After an instance, only about 30 to 50 Ghost Coins can be condensed. It''s so not worth it!"


    "Why do you need ghost servants to scare people?" Alexander was baffled.


    "How do you scare people without ghosts?" Su Rong was equally confused.


    "How did you scare people before?" Alexander asked.


    "You''ve seen it! Just like in Blood Moon High School! Or use ghost energy to make myself look very fierce!" Su Rong stretched out her hands to mimic ws, sticking her tongue out at Alexander.


    I''m so scared! So cute yet so fierce!


    Alexander found this amusing, almost couldn''t resist kissing her.


    Of course, he knew that Su Rong didn''t want to look ugly in front of him, in the instance she would definitely have a terrifying face.


    But you are a ghost!


    Shouldn''t ghosts rely on the eerie atmosphere, the horrifying environment, the shrill howls, and the uncanny music to scare people?


    With this in mind, Alexander suddenly understood why Su Rong was losing money, and dered with a wave of his hand,


    "Wait for me, I will start an instance, you do as I say! You will definitely make a profit!"


    "Do you really know how to do it? I''m a ghost, can you scare people better than me?" Su Rong was somewhat skeptical.


    "Can I do it? Youngdy, dare to doubt your man?" Alexander became indignant,


    "Let me show you what professional means! Where did you buy your plugins, I need some props."


    Despite being a bit skeptical, Su Rong still taught Alexander how to use the Ghost Pearl to check the attributes of the plugins and how to open the specialized store for instances.


    There were many things in the store. Alexander even saw a Ghost Soldier Transition Summoning Tool with a fear bonus of +999, costing a whopping 500,000 Ghost Coins.


    After some searching, Alexander quickly found what he needed.


    Ubiquitous yer


    Rank: Spectral


    Attributes: Instance plugin, can y various sounds ording to the Ghost Master''s intent, fear value +10


    Price: 200


    "This is too expensive, 10 points of fear isn''t really worth it, it''s not very useful!"


    Seeing the funds decrease to 300, just enough to start an instance, Su Rong''s worried expression deepened.


    "Inconsequential? Heh, soon you''ll understand the charm of music!"


    A sly smile appeared on Alexander''s face as he chose to activate an instance.


    "Ghost Master activated an instance, randomly selected quota -7, teleporting Chosen Ones, instance startup!"

 Chapter 25: The power of sound

    <h4>Chapter 25: The power of sound</h4>


    Dusk, the tube-shaped building!


    As a sh of white light passed, ten people appeared inside the tube-shaped building.


    The gloomy dark clouds outside the window blocked thest light of the setting sun. The sky was filled with ayer of clouds dyed like blood, exuding an eerie red color.


    Inside the tube-shaped building, the faces of the young boys and girls were pale, their eyes filled with fear and tension.


    "Li... Li Yong... I... I''m so scared!" A young girl held her boyfriend''s hand nervously, her voice trembling from excessive fear.


    "Oh, a couple among the neers this time, you''re pretty lucky!"


    Not everyone among the ten was terrified, three of them didn''t show much fear on their faces.


    Among them, a man and a woman looked calm, as if they had prepared for this long ago.


    Thest one had a confident look on his face, and he was the one who was speaking.


    His gaze swept over everyone present, finally falling on the calm man and woman, and he smiled slightly,


    "A veteran? Quite fortunate, let me introduce myself, I''m Cain! A senior of the ghost level!"


    "Ghost level?" The man who was also a veteran''s eyes widened dramatically, excitedly saying,


    "Big brother, you''re actually the legendary ghost level, which requires a hundred points of ghost power! I didn''t expect to meet such an expert like you this time, it seems we''re safe now!"


    It''s nothing, just luck! Thest instance was Bloody Moon High School. I achieved an A-level rating at the end, and was lucky enough to be rewarded with a ghost item that can increase ghost power!"


    Cain waved his hand casually, as if talking about an insignificant little thing, showing his masterly demeanor, which immediately caused a wave of exmations.


    "Cain! I''ve heard of you. It''s said that after the Bloody Moon instance, you were directly recruited by the Divine Tree Sect! Boss, you''re too amazing! My name is Chuanzi, can I follow you in this instance?" The female veteran, Chuanzi, spoke in admiration and excitement.


    "Yeah, big brother, my name is Robert. I''ve participated in two instances. Can I follow you as well?"


    A touch of pride shed in Cain''s eyes, he smiled and said, "Of course, we''re all chosen ones. It''s only right to help each other."


    "You... you''re not scared?" The remaining seven neers looked at each other, and in the end, the man in the couple asked cautiously.


    "Scared?"


    The three veterans looked at each other and allughed. Robert confidently said,


    "Do you know why you''re considered lucky? This tube-shaped building instance is arge-scale survival mode. A female ghost wille out to kill people at night. Although it''s equally dangerous, the plot is simple, and it''s not like other instances where you can be scared to death just by being frightened! Moreover..."


    Robert paused, nced at Cain, and said,


    "We have such an expert like big brother here! We should easily pass this, right?"


    "Of course!" Cain nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This instance is simple, not scary at all! Just one ghost, with mediocre power! At least two or three out of the ten whoe in can survive, and often there are more! That ghost is at most on the same level as me, a ghost level. When I joined the Divine Tree Sect, I got a ghost-level chopper. If she dares toe, I''ll chop her head off!"


    Cain''s confidence instantly infected everyone, and the man in the couple couldn''t help butpliment,


    "It''s worthy of being an A-level rated expert. Seeing how strong you are, I''m not scared anymore, in fact, I kind of want tough! The ghost in this instance is too pitiful to meet you, big brother!"


    "Yeah! Just one ghost, all alone, and it''s going to be beheaded, how pitiful!"


    "Haha, it seems we''re going to win without lifting a finger!"


    ...


    At the end of the hallway, a man and a woman were quietly watching this group of people from a dark corner, curiously, they seemed oblivious to it.


    These two people were naturally Alexander and Su Rong.


    As a ghost of the Ferocious level, using illusions to affect others and make people unable to detect them is a basic operation.


    However, Su Rong was currently full of anger, and there was already a faint aura of ghost energy around her:


    "I''m going to kill this guy!"


    "Hold on!" Alexander reached out and stopped Su Rong, looking at Cain who was being adored by everyone in the distance, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:


    "These are all ghost coins! It would be a shame to kill them! You create illusions for them as I instructed. The real show has just begun!"


    ...


    As Alexander''s words fell, the ten chosen ones simultaneously received a message in their minds:


    "The instance has officially begun! This is a staged instance. Pleaseplete the tasks as required and leave afterpleting all tasks!"


    "First stage task released: Please pair up and choose a room to enter. The evil ghost will then choose a room to enter. Completion reward: 10 ghost coins."


    Upon receiving the information, everyone was a bit stunned, and Robert even eximed:


    "Why isn''t it a survival mode? And there are stage tasks?"


    "Don''t panic!" Cain frowned slightly, then rxed, saying lightly:


    "One ghost in the instance, can scare you guys like this! There is no horror instance where people don''t die. Anyway, this instance is not scary at all, even dying is better than being in the Ghostly Restaurant! You think instance tasks are so easy to trigger, maybe we''re in for a blessing in disguise this time! Don''t worry, as long as that ghost encounters me, I will definitely kill it the first chance I get!"


    Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief. After some scrambling, the veteran woman Chuanzi sessfully teamed up with Cain, picked a room and went in.


    Although the others were a bit panicked, the task was there, so they paired up and chose rooms to enter.


    "Li... Li Yong, we... we won''t be the first to encounter the ghost, right?"


    In the couple''s room, the girl was obviously a bit scared, tightly gripping Li Yong''s arm.


    "Don''t worry!" Li Yong squeezed out a smile, and said, "There are five rooms in total, it can''t be that coincidental! Besides, I secretly checked, our room is the furthest from the stairway entrance!"


    Upon hearing this, the girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief.


    Creak... Squeak...


    Just then, the sound of a decaying wooden door creaking abruptly echoed, apanied by an eerie gust of wind.


    "Ah!"


    The girl instantly let out a piercing scream, and Li Yong''s face also turned pale with fright.


    "Brother, did you hear that! Did you hear that!"


    The girl clung tightly to Li Yong''s arm, her fingernails almost embedded in his flesh.


    Li Yong, however, seemed not to notice, his gaze fixed on the door, his face deathly pale.


    Creak... Squeak...


    Creak... Squeak...


    One after another, the eerie noises like those from a midnight bell rang out, apanied by the screams from next door, making one''s skin crawl.


    "Fear value sessfully gathered, Ghost Coin +1"


    "Ghost Coin +1"


    "Ghost Coin +1"


    ...


    In the hallway, message after message appeared,pletely bewildering Su Rong.


    Why was it that when she killed people with a ferocious appearance before, she could only gather a few or a dozen ghost coins, yet Alexander just creaked a door, and gathered seven or eight?


    Are these people really afraid of the sound of a door opening?


    "You know nothing about the power of sound!" Alexander said with a faint smile, "As a horror movie, this is just a trailer! What''sing next is the main feature!"

 Chapter 26: The Blood Red Wedding Dress

    <h4>Chapter 26: The Blood Red Wedding Dress</h4>


    "That''s not right! There are screams from next door too, wasn''t it said that there''s only one ghost, and it would randomly choose a room to enter?"


    Looking back at the room, Li Yong suddenly thought of something and quickly scanned around.


    After a moment, Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the window to close the wooden shutters, and said, "The window was just open, Ah Mei, don''t be afraid, I''m here!"


    Ah Mei also exhaled a long breath, kept rubbing her chest, andined, "What a lousy building, they don''t even close the windows, I was scared to death!"


    Bang! Bang!


    Just as Ah Mei finished speaking, a sudden knock on the door rang out.


    A somewhat eerie woman''s voice with elongated tones came from outside the door:


    "Excuse me... do you want a red vest?"


    A ghost!


    This time it must be a ghost!


    They have been chosen by the ghost!


    Ah Mei screamed in fear once again, and Li Yong was also scared to sit directly on the floor.


    But then, something even more terrifying happened!


    This wooden door was extremely worn, stained with blood and had many cracks.


    Just by coincidence, there was a piece of board broken at the bottom, allowing them to see outside.


    Under the dim light, there was a blood-red skirt hem, and upon closer look, Li Yong felt his hair stand on end and eximed:


    "It''s floating, it... it has no feet!"


    "Excuse me... do you want a red vest?"


    The voice outside the door was still going on, as if she would keep asking if they didn''t answer.


    "We want it! We want it, okay?"


    Li Yong couldn''t take it anymore and screamed out.


    The voice outside the door paused, then asked again:


    "There are two of you, who should I give it to?"


    "Ah Mei, give it to Ah Mei!"


    Li Yong said without hesitation.


    "Brother... you..."


    Ah Mei looked at Li Yong in disbelief.


    "Ah Mei, haven''t you always wanted to buy clothes? This one''s for you! From now on, whatever you want to buy, I''ll listen to you!"


    Li Yong screamed in terror, holding his legs with his hands, burying his head between his legs, and trembling in the corner.


    "Alright..."


    It seemed that Ah Mei had epted her fate, she replied, then suddenly her voice became cold and hoarse:


    "Then tell me... does this red vest look good on me?"


    Li Yong''s body jolted as he slowly lifted his head in horror.


    Ah Mei was just as she had always been in the shopping malls, her face wearing a bright smile as she twirled around, showing off her new clothes to her boyfriend.


    However, her upper body was a horrifying sight: her skin had been torn into long strips hanging around her waist, like a bloody red skirt.


    Her mutted upper body looked as though she was wearing a red vest!


    "Ah!!!"


    Li Yong screamed and could no longer bear it! He got up, shoved the door open, and rushed into the next room.


    ...


    This was the room of seasoned yers Cain and Chuanzi.


    "What happened?" Cain asked.


    Upon seeing this formidable veteran, Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said in horror, "Ah Mei, Ah Mei was killed by a ghost, they... they even peeled off her skin!"


    "Don''t worry, I''m here! If the ghost dares toe, I''ll chop its head off!" Cain confidently said.


    Seeing the machete in Cain''s hand, Li Yongpletely calmed down but asked with some confusion, "Where''s Chuanzi, isn''t she with you?"


    "She went to the bathroom!" Cain''s expression was a bit strange, and he seemed reluctant to borate.


    "Li Yong,e out!" At that moment, Chuanzi''s voice came from the doorway.


    Li Yong walked over in confusion, only to see a slightly pale Chuanzi standing at the door, grabbing his arm and saying, "You were so scared you pissed yourself,e with me to the bathroom to clean up!"


    "What are you doing! When did I piss myself!" Li Yong, who was forcibly pulled into the bathroom,ined. At this point, he had already put his girlfriend out of his mind.


    "You should be thankful! If I hadn''t saved you, you would be dead in there!" Chuanzi said irritably.


    "Why?" Li Yong asked, slightly stunned.


    The next moment, Chuanzi''s words filled Li Yong with terror!


    "Cain is already dead! The ghost took his knife and beheaded him! Didn''t you see the blood still on the knife!"


    The blood was still on the knife!


    Those words scared Li Yong so much that he immediately squatted down, recalling the scene just now.


    The machete was indeed covered in fresh blood, he was just too frightened to notice!


    "Thank God! Thank God for you! This dungeon is too terrifying, my girlfriend was also killed by a ghost, even her skin was peeled off!"


    Li Yong squatted on the ground, still in shock.


    "Is that so? What does it look like with the skin peeled off? Is it...?"


    Chuanzi asked with what seemed to be genuine interest, her voice slowly turning cold and hoarse:


    "Like this?"


    Li Yong numbly raised his head, and there, on Chuanzi in front of him, was a bloody red ¡ª¡ª vest!


    In the quiet bathroom, the dim light kept flickering, and faintly, a chilling and ethereal female voice was singing:


    "Mother, look at my red wedding dress~"


    "Don''t let me die too early~"


    "Mother, look at my red wedding dress~"


    "Don''t let me die too early~"


    "Ah~ Ah~"


    Li Yong''s face gradually distorted in terror, his body seemingly frozen in ce. Upon closer inspection, his body was slightly twitching, and soon, he lost his breath.


    Scared to death?


    In the hallway, Alexander was speechless.


    Although such scum deserved to die.


    But I hadn''t even used any force, and you fell down?


    What about the lights in the toilet, the mirror, the hands in the toilet bowl...


    There''s still a whole bunch of plot that hasn''t been used yet!


    "Fear gathered, ghost coins +100"


    "Gained extremely terrified soul, ghost coins +1000"


    Su Rong, who was given instance authority by Alexander, waspletely dumbfounded.


    Can there be such a y?


    The environment Alexander asked her to create was indeed scary, but it didn''t scare people to death.


    Most importantly, it was the music!


    The initial creaking sound, the howling sound of the wind blowing the window...


    In the end, not only these sound effects, but also a series of eerie background music, and even apanying singing were used.


    If it were usual, if you suddenly heard singing in your ear, wouldn''t your first reaction be who is ying music.


    But these chosen ones didn''t notice at all, as if the music had blended in.


    That kind of terrifying atmosphere not only scared the chosen ones, but even Su Rong, a ghost of the evil spirit level, felt a little scared. Didn''t you see that she was holding Alexander''s hand all the time!


    To this, Alexander said it was basic operation. Who wouldin that there is no music in reality when they are scared half to death by watching horror movies!


    Next, the horror instance continues.


    The second phase mission, rewarding 20 ghost coins, requires using a human head mop to mop the corridor, and those who do not work cannot be outside.


    There was only one mop, soaked in the blood flowing from the faucet, lonely mopping the corridor under the flickering light.


    The terrifying music echoed in the ears, and the floor was covered with the blood dragged out by the mop.


    The head of the mop would asionally turn around and give you a creepy smile!


    There was no need for Su Rong to waste ghost power to create an atmosphere. In addition to Amei and Chuanzi who had fainted before, three more people fainted on the spot!


    The third stage task was to y a game of corners in a pitch-ck room.


    Four people, each standing in one corner of the room, were in darkness so thick that they couldn''t see their hands in front of them.


    Person one would fumble his way to person two''s location and pat his shoulder, person two would go pat person three, person three would go pat person four, and person four would finally pat person one''s shoulder!


    It seemed like there was no problem, but when person four went to person one''s position, there should be no one there!


    Yet at this moment, the room was filled with the soundtrack from "Silent Hill".


    Who could withstand that!


    After three rounds of tasks, only Kane, who was trembling and somewhat mentally disturbed, and Amei, who was almostpletely insane, were left.


    Finally, it was time for the instance to be settled.


    Whether there was any hope for the huge mortgage depended on this round!

 Chapter 27: Calculating instance rewards

    <h4>Chapter 27: Calcting instance rewards</h4>


    "Instancepletion, begin the instance reward settlement!"


    "In this instance, a total of one soul was collected, earning 1000 Ghost Coins!"


    "In this instance, a total of 316 fears were collected, earning 5460 Ghost Coins."


    "For this instance, the selected participant was awarded 1100 Ghost Coins, 18 Ghost Powers, 9 vengeful ghost-level entities. Half of the Ghost Coin and ghost entity rewards will be borne by the Thrilling World, leaving a deduction of 1450 Ghost Coins, with a total gain of 5010 Ghost Coins."


    "We''re rich! We''re rich now!"


    Upon returning to the Fierce Ghost Apartment, Su Rong, holding Alexander, showered him with kisses, so excited she could only utter these words.


    Over five thousand Ghost Coins!


    Nowadays, with the Thrilling World being widely known in reality, and many of the chosen even recording videos, it''s bing increasingly hard to be a ghost.


    To scare people, the ghosts in every instance really have to rack their brains.


    In instances like Blood Moon Middle School, where there are a lot of ghost servants, it''s not so bad.


    But for ces like the Tube Building, where there''s only one ghost master, not very powerful, without much additional aid, they can only rely on their own abilities to create some illusions, making it difficult for many to break even!


    An ie of five thousand Ghost Coins per time could even tempt stronger killing ghosts or even ghost generals.


    For small instances like the Tube Building, it could only be reached asionally in the first couple of years after the Thrilling Arrival, when the real world knew nothing about it.


    "What''s this! There''ll be plenty of opportunities in the future, don''t forget, we had a total of 9 people return this time!" Alexanderughed.


    "That''s right!" Su Rong''s eyes sparkled immediately.


    "Thrilling instances, let alone the first time entrants. Even if all the participants are veterans, being able to maintain a 50% survival rate is already astonishing! If other people find out that only one person died in our instance, they will rush in like mad!"


    The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.


    Although a ghost master can only open an instance once a month under normal circumstances.


    But as long as you''re not afraid of losing money, you can ignore the cooldown time for twice the price.


    600 Ghost Coins per time, even if there are enough people signing up, most ghost masters are not confident they won''t make a loss.


    But for an instance modified by Alexander, even if there''s only a 10% profit, that''s still 1000 Ghost Coins, no pressure at all!


    "Master~"


    Su Rong looked at Alexander, her eyes like tranquil water almost seeming to melt: "I want you, right now..."


    Three hourster, a sore-legged Alexander chose to return home.


    Not that he was afraid of startling people, but mainly because Alexander wanted to see the other chosen ones'' reactions to the Tube Building instance.


    Nine people returning alive, including six rookies, all of whom received decent rewards.


    As expected, it must have caused quite a stir in reality.


    Sure enough, as Alexander opened hisputer and surfed the inte for a while.


    The hot search waspletely dominated by the Tube Building, ranking first was a video shot by Chuanzi.


    This guy, turned out to be a legendary Thrilling Reporter! Responsible for using special ghost entities to film videos for yback in the real world.


    The video was short, starting from when she entered the game, her experience was simr to that of another man.


    The difference was that the person in the red vest became Cain, and he escaped into the room of Zhao Zipeng next door.


    Zhao Zipeng took on Cain''s role, and the girl who was with Zhao Zipeng took on her role, pulling her into the bathroom.


    In fact, all these were just environments created by Su Rong using ghost powers. Everyone''s experiences were roughly the same. Through the ghost entity, everything Chuanzi went through was recorded.


    Thements section below immediately blew up:


    "Holy! This is too terrifying, what''s with the music, the instances evene with a soundtrack?"


    "This horrific instance, thedy filming the video is really unfortunate, wonder what happened to her afterward!"


    "Do you even have to ask? She definitely got eaten by the ghost, you think they would leave her till the end for the reward? In such an instance, I would never go back, it''s too scary!"


    "Yeah, my little sister was scared to tears, she''d rather go to those instances with high death rates than this one, she''d be scared to death alive!"


    "I, as ady, swear, even if I were to starve or be eaten by countless fierce ghosts, I will never step foot in this instance, it''s too terrifying!"


    ...


    After the video ended, countless people were iming that this instance was too inhumane, vowing never to enter.


    However, the video wasn''t over yet, there was one more surprise at the end.


    "Congrattions to the official selected, No. DSSI826, you have survived to the end, sessfullypleting the first-stage task. Instance rating D, final reward, Ghost Coins 10, Ghost Power 1, ghost entity Blood-Stained Candle (evil ghost)."


    She lived!


    A selected one, entered the thrilling instance of life and death, fainted from fear in the first stage.


    She actually lived until the end!


    In an instance with ten people, seven rookies, a total of nine people lived until the end!


    What''s more infuriating is that there''s actually a reward!


    Though there are only 10 Ghost Coins, and the Blood-Stained Candle is known as the most useless ghost entity in history.


    But to be able to survive to the end is already a miracle! Not to mention, there is also a Ghost Power reward.


    Ghost Power! The biggest difference between rookies and veterans.


    Without Ghost Power, even if you pass the examination, at best, you''re just a senior in the eyes of the rookies, you''re nothing in the eyes of the true selected ones.


    Having Ghost Power, even just a little, means you can drive ghost entities, and you have the ability to kill ghosts.


    It signifies that your body will be slowly strengthened, setting foot on the path of transcendence.


    And Ghost Power is extremely hard to obtain!


    Those with bad luck, experiencing three to five instances without obtaining any Ghost Power, eventually die at the hands of evil ghosts.


    On the ck market, even the most useless ghost entity that can increase Ghost Power costs over a seven-figure sum in currency.


    Its preciousness is beyond description.


    A small instance, getting scared unconscious from the start, with only a D rating, still rewarding Ghost Power?


    "You guys, check out the trending, the second one! It exploded, this instance is incredibly awesome!"


    Suddenly, a number of people began toment and post video bulletins below. They all said the same thing.


    Driven by curiosity, everyone looked at the second trending topic. The post was made by Cain, and it was simple: a title and a screenshot.


    My gains from the Cylinder Building Instance!


    Rating: 1, Ghost Coins: 500, Ghost Power: 10, Ghost Entity: Ghost Spirit Fruit


    Ghost Spirit Fruit (Vengeful Spirit): A ghost fruit carefully cultivated in a graveyard orchard, increases Ghost Power by 20 points after consumption.


    Nothing else needs to be said, a single Ghost Spirit Fruit sells for 20 million on the ck market!


    Ghost Power can''t be traded, but its value is also nearly 10 million.


    Ghost Coins, with a ck market exchange rate of 10000:1, worth 5 million.


    Above all, these are priceless!


    One instance earned 35 million, as long as you''re brave, there''s hardly any danger!


    Thements section immediately became lively.


    Sweet Dew: This is too easy to earn!


    Wish There''s No Homework in Heaven: This instance is too good, who has the method to enter? I''m seventeen this year, the number of selected increases every year, might as well go in and make a big profit since we''re all selected anyway!


    Light of the Mist: Officially selected, already registered, hehe! You guys can go be jealous!


    ...


    Looking at the multitude of follow-up posts below seeking the method to enter, Alexander rubbed his nose.


    They want money but don''t care about their lives! Although the death rate of the Cylinder Building instance isn''t high, entering it means bing a selected one. From then on, they must forcibly enter an instance every month.


    Next, Alexander opened the horror forum again.


    If ordinary people are so interested, what about the real selected ones?


    Sure enough, several posts rted to the Cylinder Building were filled with voices of registration.


    Although he had no ns to start the next instance right away, Alexander decided to go to the apartment and share this good news with Su Rong.


    Having property now, Alexander can return from any location in the real world at any time.


    Yes, return! Because having property, him being a ghost master, is now officially considered a member of the ghost realm.


    A sh of white light, and in the next moment, Alexander reappeared in the Haunted Apartment 108.


    In front of his eyes was a wet, fat figure with eyeballs hanging on its face.


    The Rent-Collecting Drowned Ghost, why was he here again, and in the room?


    Swoosh!


    Upon seeing Alexander appear, those two eyeballs were suddenly dragged back into the eye sockets by the blood vessels, staring fiercely at Alexander, and directly pounced on him!


    Could it be that the Haunted Apartment does not allow living beings to own property?


    This is troublesome!

 Chapter 28: Neighbourhood visits

    <h4>Chapter 28: Neighbourhood visits</h4>


    Alexander felt a sudden chill in his heart. He tried to dodge, but this drowned ghost was more terrifying than Su Rong, reaching the level of a malicious ghost. It wasn''t something he could avoid!


    Well, being able to live twice, it''s worth it. He just wondered what would happen to Su Rong.


    With a sigh, Alexander closed his eyes and gave up resisting.


    However, the dreadful attack he imagined didn''t ur. Instead, his entire body was tightly hugged by two sturdy arms, and the excited voice of the drowned ghost rang in his ears:


    "Brother, my good brother, I''ve been waiting for your return!"


    Alexander was dumbfounded!


    Blinking in confusion, he opened his eyes and looked around. He realized that the room was not only upied by the drowned ghost and Su Rong, but filled with all sorts of... people? No, it was filled with all sorts of ghosts.


    There was a man with a full face of beard. His skin looked like a garment, with many ces torn open, exposing raw flesh and blood. He was awkwardly covering a wound on his head with his hand.


    Beside him was the ghost Alexander had seen upon entering the apartment, who now had its head reattached and was showing an apologetic and pleasing smile to Alexander.


    Next to him, a skinny little boy, looking like a skeleton, showed a kind smile to Alexander, which was somehow chilling.


    Moreover, there was a ghost doctor in a white coat holding a bloody scalpel, a mummy wrapped in bandages, a ghost burned to death with twisted scars and mes asionally emerging, a cute red-dressed ghost in red shoes and socks, a ckened ghost entwined with high-voltage wires, causing sparks, upying half of the room that no ghost dared to approach, and so on.


    "What''s going on? What are they here for? To cause trouble?"


    Alexander pushed the drowned ghost away and looked at Su Rong with a puzzled face.


    "I have no idea!" Su Rong was almost crying, grimacing and saying, "They said they came to pay a visit and bring gifts!"


    A visit? Gifts?


    Alexander was bewildered for a moment. Looking at these people, it seemed that some of them indeed had things in their hands.


    Things like a bloody kitchen knife, a bloody long leg that was half eaten, a ss bottle full of eyeballs, a big iron hammer smeared with brain matter, and so on.


    "Brother!" Just as Alexander was puzzled, the ghost wrapped in high-voltage electricity came over.


    "Wait, just stay where you are if you have something to say!" Alexander quickly stopped him.


    He didn''t want to be electrocuted. Didn''t he see that a bunch of malicious ghosts around him were avoiding him?


    Although it looked very powerful, he didn''t n on bing charcoal.


    "Alright, alright, I won''t go over there! We''re neighbors! We should get along well as neighbors, so I brought you a small gift, it''s a token of my respect!"


    With that, the electrocuted ghost forcefully tore off a high-voltage wire wrapped around his body and threw it at Alexander.


    Seeing no sparks on it and the drowned ghost next to him didn''t dodge, he reached out to catch it and began to examine it.


    High-Voltage Wire Full of Energy


    Grade: Malicious Ghost Level


    Trantion: Introduction: This is a bundle of live high-voltage wire, which was wound around the Inevitable Road under the cover of night. It contains powerful electricity and can be used as a weapon.


    "Goodness!


    Offering a Malicious Ghost Level item right off the bat, quite generous!


    A smile instantly appeared on Alexander''s face. He started speaking,


    "Well... Electricity Bro! You''re already here, no need to bring gifts! We''re neighbors after all, no need to be so formal! Think about it, what should the other neighbors do? Are they all supposed to offer Malicious Ghost Level items as gifts? It''s not like I''m criticizing you, but this is not appropriate!"


    Despite his words, Alexander swiftly stored the power cable in his storage space, which only had twenty slots left and was a feature of his Death Tattoo, meant for storing items from the horror world.


    A Malicious Ghost Level item! Wouldn''t this be worth a fortune in the outside world?


    Of course, Alexander wouldn''t sell it. Even if he couldn''t use it for now, he could still give it to Su Rong as a weapon.


    Su Rong''s ruler used to cast spells was also a ghost item, but it was given by the vice-principal of the Blood Moon School, and had to be returned after the duplicate ended. The poor girl, burdened by her mortgage, didn''t even own a weapon.


    Having safely stored the power cable, Alexander turned his gaze towards the other people.


    The meaning was clear: since you all havee to pay a visit, you can''t possiblye empty-handed!


    Old Electricity has already offered a ghoul-ss ghost item, wouldn''t you be embarrassed if you didn''t bring anything?


    As for the purpose of these ghost neighbors, even if Alexander''s reaction was slow, he could guess. They were simply green with envy seeing Su Rong earning five thousand in one instance!


    "Brother! You can rest assured, I may not be good at other things, but I am quite reasonable! Look what this is!"


    The drowned ghost said, and from somewhere pulled out the chainsaw he had previously made at Alexander''s ce, saying:


    "This thing was confiscated, but then I thought, we are neighbors after all, how can I take away your weapon! So, I spent a little money and redeemed it for you, and the other things, they are all here!"


    Alexander received the chainsaw from the drowned ghost, along with a woven bag.


    Sure enough, it contained the baseball bat he had used to pay off his debt, as well as incense candles, paper money, etc.


    Worth nearly a thousand, and there were even a stack of ghost coins, at least over a thousand!


    This can be considered a substantial investment, after all, the drowned ghost is just a collector, not the real creditor.


    "Alright, drowned ghost, you''re quite considerate, let''s call it even, from now on we''re good neighbors!"


    Alexander said with augh, seeing him not pursuing the matter any further, and not being too moved, the drowned ghost was overjoyed.


    Next, the decapitated ghost came over with a half-eaten woman''s leg.


    Why a woman''s leg? Because there''s still a high-heeled shoe hanging from it!


    A chill ran down Alexander''s spine, and he was about to refuse, but the next moment, seeing the properties of this item, he immediately shut his mouth.


    Leftover beauty''s leg


    Level: Malicious Ghost Level


    Attribute: Instance plug-in, hanging from the ceiling, fear +15


    Trait: Bleeding effect, continuously dripping never-ending blood, extra increase in fear by 5 points.


    Another Malicious Ghost Level item."


    "Instance plug-ins are worth much less than other ghost items, as they can be directly purchased from the instance mall.


    But this is only rtively speaking, plug-ins can increase the fear value in the instance, affecting the mental state of those selected, making them more susceptible to fear.


    It is said that when the fear value reaches a thousand points, those selected below the evil spirit level entering it will be scared to death on the spot.


    This leg is worth as much as two thousand in the mall!


    Clearly, like the drowned ghost, it also spent a lot of money to reconcile with Alexander because it had scared him before.


    "Sis, neighbors are better than distant rtives, why are you bringing such a valuable gift?"


    Although Alexander said this, he quickly took the item and directly added the plug-in to the instance.


    Next, the remaining neighbors greeted him and presented their gifts.


    Most of them are some plug-ins, others gave other ghost items, or simply gave ghost coins.


    Although not as valuable as the first three households, except for two or three that seemed really poor, the vast majority would be worth over a thousand in ghost coins when exchanged.


    More than twenty people, at least ten thousand ghost coins worth of items, made both Alexander and Su Rong smile from ear to ear.


    Of course, Alexander did not hide his intentions, and given that he understood these people''s intentions, he gave them advice in return.


    Seeing these neighbors leaving one by one, satisfied, Alexander was also very satisfied.


    Don''t forget, Alexander also has a skill certificate for socializing, allowing him to get rewards by brushing up good feelings!


    This group brush, more than twenty neighbors, all had good feelings over 60 points without exception!


    "Congrattions on reaching 60 points in good feelings, the special effect of the skill Unobstructed Charm Syndrome for Social Communication is triggered! You get the Electro Ghost''s friendliness reward: Ghost Energy +15, Ghost Coins +200, Blood of Electro Ghost (Ominous), Paper Money +10!"


    "Congrattions on reaching 60 points in good feelings, you get the Drowned Ghost''s friendliness reward: Ghost Energy +10, Ghost Coins +200, Skull Bracelet (Ghoul), Paper Money +10!"


    "Congrattions on reaching 60 points in good feelings, you get the Skin Peeling Ghost''s friendliness reward: Ghost Energy +10, Ghost Coins +200, A Pair of Human Skin (Evil Spirit), Paper Money +10!"

 Chapter 29: It’s hard to endure, isn’t it? Let me help you.

    <h4>Chapter 29: It''s hard to endure, isn''t it? Let me help you.</h4>


    The guidance provided by Alexander, although not as detailed as the Tube Building, can significantly improve the ie from instance.


    What could possibly make you like someone more than them helping you make more money?


    Furthermore, given Alexander''s ability to make connections, he quickly became acquainted with these ghost neighbors!


    For example, the Electric Death Ghost likes to eat spicy food, the Drowned Ghost should have liked sunbathing, but this one in the apartmentplex oddly prefers drinking hot water.


    And then there''s the Skin Peeling Ghost who often gets chopped by his wife, the Hanging Death Ghost''s tongue was stolen by the kid upstairs yesterday, and unfortunately, this kid''s family is led by a Ghost General-level big shot and is not to be messed with, and so on.


    Whether it''s hobbies, habits, or minor issues, Alexander gets a clear grasp of them in a short time.


    Piece by piece of information continuously emerged, and the skill rewards were triggered crazily.


    More than twenty people, two hundred ghost coins each, that''s another five thousand.


    Even more astonishing is the ghost energy reward, a total of two hundred and sixty points of ghost energy, which immediately promoted Alexander to the Evil Spirit level.


    Selected: Alexander


    ID: xjbxd44011


    Strength: 22


    Speed: 23


    Endurance: 22


    Ghost Energy: 330


    Talent: Unobstructed Charm Syndrome for Social Communication (aka: Social Charm Certificate, Social Syndrome)


    Number of Participations in instance: 1


    Ghost Coins: 14600 (Evil Spirit)


    Ghost Items: Blood of Electric Death Ghost (Fierce Ghost), Xuanhe Gate (Ghoul), Skull Bracelet (Ghoul), High-Voltage Line Full of Energy (Ghoul), Chainsaw with Human Face (Evil Spirit), Hard Gate Cigarettes (Evil Spirit) *6, Graveyard Roses (Evil Spirit) *5...


    Skills: None


    Reopening the attribute interface, it was simply explosive!


    Ghost coins soared directly to over twelve thousand, breaking through the ten thousand threshold, making Alexander undoubtedly wealthy.


    The ghost energy is even more incredible, with over three hundred, even though it''s still far from bing a Ghoul-level chosen.


    But don''t forget, Alexander has only experienced the assessment instance, he hasn''t participated in a single official duplicate!


    As for the ghost items, they''re even crazier.


    One Fierce Ghost-level item, four Ghoul-level items, and dozens of Evil Spirit-level items.


    And this doesn''t even count things like half a beautiful leg and other plugins, which Alexander has already ced directly into the Tube Building instance.


    Even though it''s only Evil Spirit-level, with such a quantity, it''s estimated that only top chosen forces like the "King''s Association" could afford it."


    Alexander was originally nning to open the Tube Building instance again to make more money while the opportunity was hot. However, after the sudden windfall, Alexander felt it wasn''t necessary.


    After all, steady progress was key, and if he opened instances too frequently, it might reveal his strategies to the other chosen ones. Thinking this, Alexander gave up his n to continue opening duplicates.


    He took out the high voltage line full of energy and a pile of misceneous ghost items and gave them all to Su Rong along with ten thousand ghost coins:


    "Use these things to arrange the Tube Building. Don''t rush to open the instance. We''ll use hunger marketing and open it again in ten days!"


    "Understood!" Su Rong didn''t refuse. She took the items and said, "Among these things, incense and paper money have a great effect on us evil spirits. I have reached the peak of evil spirits, and with these things, I can be a ghoul in a few days."


    "Good, in five days I will enter the Ferocious Ghost Restaurant instance! It is said to be an open instance with a very high level of danger. No one is sure what level of evil spirit is in the restaurant. I can summon you at any time through the contract. If you can upgrade to the ghoul level, it would be a great help to me!"


    Alexander didn''t have much confidence in the Ferocious Ghost Restaurant instance, so any increase in strength was weed. He gave all the ghost items that he didn''t need to Su Rong, even his ghost coins, only leaving two thousand for himself.


    His only request was for Su Rong to increase her strength as quickly as possible.


    After instructing Su Rong, Alexander resisted looking into her enticing eyes and exited the Ferocious Ghost instance. He had to because tomorrow was Monday.


    He still had to go to school, and he had to arrive thirty minutes early.


    In fact, as a chosen one, Alexander could directly apply for special recruitment to enter a university with a Horror World major. Moreover, only top universities are qualified to offer such majors.


    But Alexander didn''t want to reveal his chosen one identity prematurely to avoid being connected to his 3s evaluation.


    Alexander was a bit relieved. If he had stayed there, it would probably have been another romantic evening, and he would have been too exhausted to climb the four-story teaching building tomorrow.


    Bang! Bang!


    Not long after Alexander exited the apartment, there was a knock at the door.


    The person knocking was Sophia from the apartment across,ing to invite Alexander to dinner. He didn''t want to go initially, but couldn''t bear to refuse the girl''s hopeful, watery eyes.


    The dinner was very generous. Alexander had often eaten at Isabe''s house in the past, so he didn''t need to be polite and enjoyed the meal.


    After dinner, he helped wash the dishes, and was about to go home to sleep when Sophia held onto his arm tightly:


    "Brother Alexander, can you please stay? Sophia is very scared!"


    Wearing a teddy bear pajama, Sophia clung tightly to Alexander''s arm, her beautifulrge eyes blinking continuously at him.


    "It''ste. Be good, I''lle over and apany you tomorrow!" Alexander quickly replied.


    "No!" Sophia kept shaking her head, her face turning increasingly pale.


    "What''s going on?" Alexander asked Isabe with confusion.


    "Sigh... It''s all because of that recruitment notice. She was so scaredst night that she cried all night without sleeping. Even with me by her side, it was no use. You must stay and apany her tonight!" Isabe exhaled.


    "This... Is that appropriate?" Alexander looked puzzled.


    "What''s inappropriate about it? You''re her brother, and you''ve risked your life for her. You wouldn''t have any ulterior motives! Besides, Sophia is still so young! So it''s settled!" Isabe decided without giving it a second thought.


    Alexander found it hard to refuse, otherwise, wouldn''t it imply he had ulterior motives?


    "Great!" Sophia jumped up excitedly.


    Returning in his pajamas, Alexander awkwardlyid down on Sophia''s bed.


    Sophia, on the other hand, didn''t think much of it. She excitedly snuggled up to Alexander, resting her head on one of his arms while draping his other arm across her chest, finding afortable position she said,


    "It''s much better with big brother here! Brother, you should apany Sophia to sleep every night from now on!"


    What could Alexander say? He could only curve his body as much as possible, so Sophia wouldn''t touch any awkward spots.


    Holding a young girl, the fresh and pure scent kept invading his nose, making Alexander somewhat restless, his lower body bing very hard, and he involuntarily curled up even more.


    Creak...


    The sound of a door opening rang out, and Alexander quickly closed his eyes to avoid exposing his awkward state.


    It must be Isabe checking in, he thought.


    However, he soon found the nket being slowly lifted, followed by a soft body pressing against him.


    Seemingly aware of Alexander''s predicament, Isabe couldn''t help butugh softly behind him. Then, she wrapped her arms around Alexander''s waist.


    "Isabe..." Alexander gasped.


    "Shh... Don''t wake Sophia!" Isabe whispered in his ear, her warm breath continually caressing his earlobe, "It must be very hard to restrain, isn''t it? I''ve been through this, let me help you!"


    As the gentle voice echoed, Alexander felt the hand on his waist begin to move.

 Chapter 30: Thanks from Isabella

    <h4>Chapter 30: Thanks from Isabe</h4>


    From Alexander''s perspective, Isabe''s neckline was perfectly exposed, and her wless cleavage resembled a mountain stream in a steep valley. Her perky breasts were enclosed in a buttery yellow strapless bra, emitting a seductive fragrance that made Alexander harden instantly.


    But he remained rational and tried to wake her up: "Isabe, we can''t do this here. Sophia is sleeping next to us."


    "It''s okay. Sophia sleeps very deeply, and she won''t be disturbed by any noise. You don''t have to worry about it," Isabe replied with a smile, and suddenly hugged him, allowing him to smell her enticing scent from such a close distance.


    Isabe held Alexander''s hand and asked gently with her tender lips: "Do you want to... have me?"


    The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and Alexander and Isabe fell silent, making therge bedroom quiet.


    Seeing that Alexander didn''t answer, Isabe smiled slightly and ced his hand on her thigh, letting him touch her freely.


    At that moment, Alexander couldn''t resist anymore. He reached for Isabe''s silky thighs, removed her stockings, and then went into her narrow skirt to explore the cave inside her high-endce panties.


    Isabe felt embarrassed and grabbed Alexander''s hand, then reached into her pants and took out a small sanitary pad. "My period ising soon, so today is a safe day. Don''t worry."


    Isabe''s words made Alexander even more excited, and he quickly took off his clothes and helped Isabe take off the rest of her clothes one by one, leaving only the buttery yellow bra and silk panties.


    Alexander''s penis was already raging and bouncing underneath. Isabe lifted herself up, said, "May I?" and grabbed his weapon, bent down, and gently used her lips to suck him.


    Alexander held Isabe''s head and repeatedly thrust into her small mouth. "Isabe, I never thought you would..."


    "It''s like a dream. The beautiful neighbor is using her lips to swallow my cock and licking the most sensitive veins under my ns."


    After a while, Isabe stopped and said, "I only do this for people who are good to me. This is the first time. You saved Sophia''s life, and I have to repay you."


    "It''s nothing for me, and besides, you don''t have to do this..."


    "It''s okay. I''m willing to do this. Besides, I already liked you before. I like your tall and strong figure, as well as your humor."


    Hearing this, Alexander could no longer hold back. He let Isabe sit up and untied her strapless bra, revealing her small but full breasts bouncing slightly.


    "Ah! Your breasts are so beautiful!" Alexander eximed sincerely.


    Isabe blushed and let Alexander nibble on her cherry-sized nipples, using his tongue to gently stir her pale pink ares.


    "Ah! Yes..." Isabe lightly moaned under this careful caress, and Alexander slowly took off her panties, spreading her knees apart, revealing her dense triangr pubic hair in that small area and her wet vagina opening.


    Straightening his body, Alexander supported his erect penis and rubbed his pre-cum-zed ns against Isabe''s clitoris, while Isabe propped up her upper body with her left hand to maintain bnce and used her right hand to guide his penis into her body.


    "Alexander, I like you."


    "Isabe, thank you,"


    Alexander said, as he held onto her slender waist and pushed his ns into her two delicatebia, then thrust his hips forward, fully inserting his penis into his beautiful neighbor''s vagina.


    Isabe moaned as she tightened herself around him, fully lubricated to wee Alexander''s pration. Alexander was on top, supporting his body with his hands, thrusting harder and harder.


    Isabe''s legs were tightly mped, slightly raised, and her perfect legs were breathtaking.


    Isabe may not be able to bear the stimtion and closed her eyes, beginning to murmur: "It''s so hard, you''re all the way inside me...ing...ing, yes... Don''t stop!"


    Alexander grasped her ample buttocks with his hands, asking, "Who fucks you better, me or your ex-boyfriend?"


    Isabe moaned, "Of course... of course it''s you..."


    Pretending not to hear, Alexander deliberately slowed down his movements and asked her to say it louder, word by word.


    Isabe hugged Alexander''s shoulders with both hands and whispered almost inaudibly, "I... like... you... fucking... me... like... this... You... fuck... me... better... than... him..."


    This processsted for about half an hour, and Alexander felt his arms getting tired, so he told Isabe that they should switch to the doggy style position.


    Isabe cooperatively sat up, letting Alexander''s penis slide out of her warm and moist vagina, the fluid from their genitals breaking as they changed positions.


    Naked, they climbed onto Sophia''s desk, with Isabe facing away from him, her tight and firm buttocks slightly raised, her pale pink female genitalia exposed in front of him.


    Alexander used his hand to spread Isabe''sbia, and then thrust into her vagina again. Isabe moaned, "I''m contracting... ah! It''s too much... I''ming... I''ming..."


    Alexander''s whole body copsed on Isabe''s body, grabbing her messy short hair. The lower part of his body was tightly and stically wrapped by Isabe''s vagina, and the pleasure from the friction of the mucous membranes was so intense.


    At that moment, Alexander couldn''t hold back any longer.


    "Isabe, you are the best!" he eximed.


    He thrust hard again, and then felt a warm liquid enter Isabe''s body from his lower abdomen.


    Taking advantage of the moment, Alexander pulled out his still-twitching penis. He then ejacted the remaining white semen onto Isabe''s delicate face, hair, neck, and lovely breasts. A thick white liquid slid into Isabe''s cleavage.


    Afterward, the two of them got dressed, and Isabe held onto Alexander''s arm with satisfaction and fell asleep.

 Chapter 31 The address turns out to be a cemetery

    Chapter 31 The address turns out to be a cemetery


    In this world, many things often do not go ording to n.


    For example, you might have made a perfect n of abstinence, determined to persevere, but there are always various things that interrupt you. Once interrupted, you can never regain that momentum.


    Take Alexander, for example, he was determined to conserve his energy and get a good night''s sleep. But he couldn''t resist Isabe''s temptation and ended up getting involved with her!


    The key thing is... the experience was quite enjoyable!


    The result of this was that even though Alexander''s physical strength was far beyond an ordinary person''s, he still managed to get dark circles under his eyes, and even had a bit of a stagger in his walk.


    "Bro! What''s going on? Did you overdo itst night?"


    Behind him, a short-haired girl, Lucy, with a few freckles on her face, still rather attractive, dressed like a tomboy, and sitting at the same desk, wrapped an arm around Alexander''s neck.


    It''s strange, perhaps because they''re not of the same age, or justzy to think too much, Alexander doesn''t have a particrly good rtionship with his ssmates. It''s not bad, but it''s basically just acquaintances, a greeting would be nice.


    The only person he''s on very good terms with is this desk mate, Lucy. She''s a tomboy, fairly good-looking, but her clothing style is boyish, which doesn''t leave much to the imagination.


    As her arm rested on his neck, Alexander had no extraneous thoughts. He just looked up and casually said, "I''ve been running a few horror instances, so I''m a bit tired."


    "You? Running horror instances? Give me a break!" Lucy rolled her eyes, pped Alexander on the shoulder, causing him to stumble, then burst intoughter.


    "You look so weak, and you''re saying you''re not physically exhausted? Horror instances, more like brothel instances!"


    Before Alexander had a chance to retort, Lucy, as if thinking of something, wrapped her arm around Alexander''s neck again and said mysteriously, "I heard that someone in our ss has be a Chosen One and entered the horror instance!"


    "Who?" Alexander''s heart skipped a beat, it wouldn''t be about him, would it?


    Fortunately, Lucy quickly continued, "James, remember him? The one who sits in thest row behind you!"


    "I have some impression, seems like he''s good at studying," Alexander responded.


    "Others might say that, but when he ranked twenty-sixth, you ranked twenty-fifth, when he ranked sixteenth, you ranked fifteenth! Last time he barely got eighth ce, you directly got seventh! Many people are saying that you are jealous of the rich, deliberately humiliating the second generation of the rich! You dare to say this, aren''t you afraid he''ll fight you?" Lucy said speechlessly.


    "Why, you still don''t know?" Alexanderughed.


    The reason why his grades also improved so quickly was simple. After sitting at the same table with Lucy, Lucy couldn''t stand his casual nature and forced him to take remedial sses.


    Despite Lucy being a tomboy, she''s a real top student, her grades have never fallen out of the top three in the entire grade, most of the time she''s crushingly taking first ce.


    It is said that the school is considering rmending her for further study, but since the appearance of the Chosen Ones, it''s be a lot harder for ordinary students to get rmendations.


    "Don''t be toocent. He''s the Chosen One now, and I heard he went through the ''The tube'' instance! He got a B grade, and if nothing goes wrong he''ll definitely get straight into college!" Lucy said with some annoyance.


    "The tube ..."


    Alexander''s expression instantly turned strange. The instance of horror had a special protection mechanism. You can''t recognise real people in it unless you''ve lived together for years and know each other like the back of your hand. Otherwise, voices and faces be blurred and distorted.


    Therefore, Alexander waspletely unaware that one of the participants in this instance was one of his own ssmates.


    A B grade? He vaguely remembered a guy with sses who was extraordinarily persistent, was scared to tears and peed his trousers several times, but insisted on calling out to the end of thest item and then fainted from the fear induced by the four corners game.


    At the time, he was in awe of the guy''s tenacity. Never giving up even in the midst of fear and tears... what a talent!!!


    He did not expect that this would be his own ssmate!


    "Let me tell you, the people in there are scary!" As soon as he entered the ssroom, a guy with sses was surrounded by everyone with a contented look on his face as he quipped:


    "You guys don''t know, this instance wasn''t very dangerous, but it was extremely scary and one of the Chosen was practically scared to death!"


    "But I, on the other hand, was fearless!"


    "Do you know what was flowing from that tap? Blood!"


    "And that ghost! It was horrible! It filled the cup with blood and then handed it to me!"


    "But who am I? I was so brave! I just poured it down on the spot! I threw the ss at him and said, "What did you say? Get me another ss!"


    "Another ss, huh! Look how brave I am, that ghost is stunned ..."


    As James, the guy with the sses, bragged away from his seat, Alexander was really a bit confused.


    This guy really was a talent and his ability to make up stories was unmatched!


    As a Ghost Master who existed in the real world, Alexander was different from other Ghost Masters in that he could use the Instanced Ghost Sphere to pull people directly from reality into the instance.


    Should he pull this person in? Keep his soul as the writer of the instance?


    Once the instance is developed, it needs to follow a storyline.


    Just as Alexander pondered this question, James turned around, eyes zing, shrugged off the crowd and approached eagerly, "Lucy, you''re here? I missed you so much, I thought I wouldn''t see you again!"


    With that, he was about to rush forward for a hug.


    Being a good student and being attractive are both very powerful qualities at school.


    Alexander may not have been interested in Lucy''s tomboy character, but as a brother he felt the need to stand up for himself at the moment. He walked up to James and said, "ss, I don''t think a hug is necessary!" ! This friend of mine Lucy doesn''t like close contact with other boys!"


    Lucy gave Alexander a thumbs up behind his back, implying a meal in the cafeteria as a thank you, this was their usual understanding.


    "Alexander, what do you have to be proud of!" James rolled up his sleeves revealing a blood-red scythe tattoo: "I am now a Chosen One, understand? With your grades, you certainly can''t get into a good university, but as a Chosen One, I can choose any I want! It will be me who will go to the same university with Lucy in the future, not you. You''re just an ordinary person!"


    "Oh, a tattoo! Congrattions, I wonder how many times you wet your pants to get it?" Alexander expressed ''surprise''.


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" James yelled.


    Alexander, of course, wouldn''t expose his own tattoo. He shrugged and said: "Coincidentally, I have a friend who also went into the instance. He said there was a nerd who got scared and wet his pants more than thirty times to get a B grade."


    "Nonsense! It was just a few times!" James instinctively retorted, then realizing his mistake, his face turned pale.


    Seeing the others trying not tough, he red at Alexander fiercely: "You little bastard, you wait! When the timees, I will make you, this inferior person, understand what it means to be a Chosen One!"


    "What nonsense!" Lucy spat at James, turned around, andforted Alexander: "Don''t worry, I''lle to your house on Saturday and Sunday to tutor you, I''m sure you''ll get into a good university!"


    Five days passed in a blink of an eye. Alexander thought Lucy was just joking, but on Friday after school, she really came to ask for his address.


    Being good friends, Alexander didn''t think much about it and gave her his address.


    However, before Alexander could enter the residential area, Lucy called him. As soon as he answered, she cursed him from the other side: "Alexander! You damn bastard, if you didn''t want to give it to me, just say it. How dare you trick me, from now on, we''re through!"


    When he tried to call back, her phone was already turned off.


    It waspletely baffling! Alexander shook his head, greeted the security guard, and entered themunity.


    He was about to enter the Ghost Restaurant soon, he couldn''t afford to bother about Lucy''s tantrums.


    ¡­


    In the city center, in a high-rise residential building, Lucy was gritting her teeth sitting in front of herputer. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    On the desktop, a map software was input with the address Alexander had given her: 605 Nanshan Road, Meilin Living Area, Building 40, Unit 3, 302.


    On the map, the only location that matched...


    Was a cemetery!

 Chapter 32 Been targeted

    Chapter 32 Been targeted


    Tonight is thest day of the month! It''s also the day when the Ghost Restaurant begins!


    So, Alexander declined Isabe''s warm invitation and shut himself in his bedroom.


    As time gradually approached evening, the recruitment flyer on the table in front of him, with its now dried-up blood stains, began to slowly flow. With the flow of blood, the entire recruitment flyer turned into a red light and entered Alexander''s body. The next moment, Alexanderpletely disappeared from the room.


    "Instance selection isplete, congrattions on entering the Ghost Restaurant instance, the number of chosen ones who have entered is 10!"


    "This instance is in Service Mode!"


    "Main mission activated: Please work as a waiter in the restaurant and survive until three dayster!"


    "Reminder: There are many evil spirits on Ghost Street thate to dine with never-ending grievances. Those that look not too powerful, but are somewhat disobedient, you might want to give a little lesson, just to slightly deter the customers at the next table! Like...pulling out their intestines and tying them tightly around their neck, or taking their heads back to the kitchen, and handing it to the head chef."


    "Of course, for those customers who look trouble, you''d better make them feel at home with your service, otherwise, their stomachs, without hesitation, will be your destination!"


    "Reminder: Poor little one, your flyer seems to have been specifically given to a tender little girl by the manager, I''m afraid you''ve been targeted already. It is advised to keep your head down and avoid breaking any rules!"


    ¡­


    The informationing in his mind left Alexander slightly stunned. So, Sophia receiving the recruitment notice wasn''t an ident? n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Starting off by offending the manager of the restaurant, this might cause some trouble. I wonder if Su Rong has reached the level of a fierce ghost yet? And what level of evil spirit is this restaurant manager?


    "Ghost Restaurant! It''s the Ghost Restaurant, I''m doomed! If I had known, I would have paid a high price to buy an entry card!"


    Ten people appeared in front of the Ghost Restaurant at the same time, looking at the two ever-burningmps and the blood-red sign with ck background in front of the restaurant, their faces turned pale.


    One of the veterans even regretted it so much that he pped himself.


    Aside from neers, there are three ways for official Chosen Ones to enter an instance: one is by item, like how Alexander entered this time.


    The other is by registration card, which allows you to choose the instance you enter, most of which have already appeared.


    Thest one is to be forcibly pulled into the instance on thest day of the month, or voluntarily enter, but choose to register randomly, which instance you get into is entirely up to luck.


    "Um¡­um¡­could any of you tell me what this ce is? My¡­my child is almost twenty, how could I end up here?"


    A man in his forties or fifties, his face pale and trembling all over, asked.


    "Uncle, you haven''t been paying attention to the thrilling world, have you? Did you really think you''d be safe after eighteen? As long as you''re an adult, there''s a chance you could be chosen, and even among the underaged chosen ones, there are asionally a few!"


    The speaker was a girl in leather clothes and pants, her fringe dyed silver-gray, her clothes adorned with studs and metal pendants everywhere. Her face didn''t show fear, instead, there was a hint of excitement.


    "Is this the so-called most dangerous instance for neers, the Ghost Restaurant? If I can pass it with a high rating, I will definitely be the strongest veteran!"


    "Don''t overestimate yourself!" The deeply regretful veteran lifted his head and scoffed:


    "Have you not seen the videos of the Ghost Restaurant on the inte? Not to mention if you can survive, even if you manage to make it to the end by luck, no one has ever heard of leaving the Ghost Restaurant intact! As a neer, do you have any spirits to treat your missing limbs and injuries? If you survive this instance, you''re bound to die in the next one! That''s the true horror of the Ghost Restaurant!"


    "Quiet down!"


    While they were speaking, the door of the restaurant was swung open.


    A small and grumpy old man, wearing a ck robe, floated out of the restaurant.


    "The restaurant is about to open soon. Everyone report your names now so I can assign you your areas!"


    This old man looks frail and small, yet no one dared to underestimate him. This is the Ghost Restaurant, after all, and he did float out just now.


    One by one, they quickly reported their names.


    First was the veteran!


    "Jiang Ping, area one, tables 1-3 are yours, off you go!"


    Middle-aged man!


    "Sam, area two, tables 4-6 are yours!"


    Leather-d girl!


    "Jessica, area three, tables 7-9 are yours!"


    Alexander!


    When he saw Alexander, the manager paused abruptly, and a cold and ruthless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:


    "Good! I heard you like to meddle, don''t you? You''ll be responsible for the VIP area, which only has two tables!"


    Based on the order, he should have been assigned to area four!


    However, he was directly assigned to the VIP area, clearly he has been set up!


    Alexander didn''t raise any objections.


    As a ghost host, he understood that it was giving the other party an opportunity to strike.


    Nodding his head, Alexander directly walked into the restaurant.


    The restaurant is veryrge, the decoration doesn''t have the slightest feel of a horrifying world, just a slightly dark style.


    Several partitions have divided the restaurant into dozens of areas.


    There were already three servers who looked like walking corpses, emotionlessly cleaning the ce in their uniforms.


    One of them came over and said to Alexander and the others:


    "Follow me, I''ll take you to change your clothes!"


    They quickly followed behind, and the veteran approached Alexander and whispered: "You''re area four, right? The four of us are the closest to each other, we should watch each other''s backs!"


    "No!" Alexander shook his head, not concealing anything, and directly said: "I have been assigned to the VIP area!"


    "Did you offend the manager?" Jiang Ping, the veteran, paled dramatically, instinctively stepping away from Alexander.


    "What do you mean?" A newly arrived participant asked in confusion.


    "Look there! That''s the VIP area, does it look familiar?" Jiang Ping pointed to a corner of the restaurant, where there was a high tform with two tables.


    Regardless of the material or the surrounding decoration style, it was far superior to other areas.


    "Isn''t that the scene from the Ghost Restaurant video that''s been circting online? Could it be...?"


    "That''s right! The VIP area is the most dangerous part of the entire Ghost Restaurant! The participant who was dismembered and consumed by ghosts in the video online was assigned to the VIP area!"


    Everyone drew in a sharp breath and distanced themselves from Alexander.


    The VIP area was obviously not for ordinary ghosts!


    If they were ordinary ghosts, they would still hold back due to the rules of the restaurant, but the guests in the VIP area would likely have no qualms about ughtering you, and even the manager would not dare to make a peep!


    This guy is dead for sure! Stay away from him, or else the manager might target us as well!


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, several miles away, in a massive eighteen-story apartmentplex.


    An astonishing aura permeated the air, and Su Rong opened her eyes, ck shes flickering in her eyes.


    Reining in her aura, she looked at the item left by Alexander and murmured softly: "Ghost Restaurant... it seems it''s time to revisit my neighbors!"


    "It''s just a restaurant, and in Ghost Street, it amounts to nothing!"


    "Master, wait for me!"

 Chapter 33 What kind of participant is this

    Chapter 33 What kind of participant is this


    Contrary to the bright and luxurious restaurant outside, stepping into the changing room feels like plummeting from heaven to hell in an instant.


    The surrounding walls are a green-gray cement, with streaks of blood flowing down. Long wigs hang on the wall, suspended like human heads. On the walls on either side of the door, there are half skeletons embedded.


    It was as if during the wall construction, living people were built into the wall, and through great struggle, only the upper body was pulled out, gradually turning into dry bones over time.


    What''s terrifying is that as the door was opened, those two skeletons suddenly began to struggle violently. Two pale skeleton hands desperately wing towards the door.


    The girl in the leather jacket, who was walking at the front, let out a scream and fell to the ground.


    "Don''t be afraid, in such a ce, the more afraid you are, the faster you die!" The veteran called Jiang Ping was pale, but he still tried to remain calm.


    Several participants tried to avoid the two skeletons at the door as much as possible.


    When Alexander entered the changing room, he couldn''t help but feel a certain sensation.


    The restaurant outside wasn''t terrifying, and ording to the ghost master''s words, it did not have any purposeful instance add-ons installed. Alexander thought the ghost master didn''t want to affect the customers'' appetites, so he gave up.


    Now it seems, he did not give up collecting the fear of the participants, but instead ced the add-ons to increase fear elsewhere.


    As for the restaurant outside, what could be more terrifying than those never-ending customers?


    For the other participants, this doesn''t seem to matter much. As participants, the terrifying properties of the add-on act directly on their psyche. But they can''t see these properties, and even if they could destroy them, it wouldn''t help, as the add-ons would be refreshed with the restart of the instance.


    But Alexander is a ghost master! He can see the properties of the add-on! Not only can he see them, but he can even take them away!


    Whether he loads them into his own instance, or sells them directly through the unique ghost master''s store, in any case, this thing is useful to him!


    He turns the ghost orb in his hand, looks at the two skeletons, and indeed the properties appear in front of Alexander.


    Skeleton hanging on the wall


    Level: Resentful Spirit


    Properties: Instance add-on, Fear+5


    Features: Installed on the wall to create an embedded effect, as if alive and built into the wall. When encountering a participant, struggle violently, adding an extra 3 points of fear.


    What a good thing!


    Alexander nced at the instance store, this type of add-on, one for five hundred ghost coins.


    Just by taking these two add-ons, could he get a thousand ghost coins?


    Don''t think a thousand is a small amount, a 3s rating only rewards five hundred ghost coins!


    Now this thousand, it''s practically being given away!


    Alexander didn''t hesitate, stepped forward and grabbed the struggling skeleton hand, yanking it forcefully.


    To the astonishment of the other participants, Alexander... actually pulled the skeleton rack right out of the wall.


    Everyone swallowed hard, their eyes full of shock and fear as they looked at Alexander.


    "What are you doing!" Veteran Jiang Ping, summoning up his courage, stood up and yelled at Alexander: "If you randomly destroy things in the instance, aren''t you afraid of getting us all into trouble!"


    "Don''t worry!" Alexander nced at him and calmly exined: "The master of this instance is the mysterious manager who, it''s said, nobody has ever seen. It seems he doesn''t show up in the restaurant often."


    "And that manager we just saw, I don''t think someone of his status would be aware of everything happening in this instance at any given moment."


    "Just now, in addition to assigning us to our dining areas, the manager also left two people in charge of cleaning. The kitchen, the restaurant, even the storage room, all except this changing room."


    "Considering his disdainful attitude towards us, I guess he won''te to inspect the changing room!"


    His reasoned exnation left everyone speechless. Especially as most of the participants were neers, they looked at Alexander with admiring, sparkling eyes.


    This made Jiang Ping, who was also a veteran, ufortable. He snorted: "With all your fancy talk, you think nobody has ever brought anything out of an instance? What''s the point of taking such useless things?"


    "It''s extremely meaningful! These are all works of art, can''t I take them back for decoration?" Alexander retorted, then ignored Jiang Ping, pulling out the other skeleton on his own.


    He didn''t even need to put it in his storage, he directly chose to load it. The next moment, two creepy skeletons were embedded on the wall behind the toilet door in his building.


    For others, this instance was a horror game, but for him, it might not only be a social game, but also an interior design game.


    Each of these instances was like a furniture showroom!


    While others came to fight for their lives, he came to collect goods and decorate!


    The participants didn''t know that Alexander owned a ghost building. Listening to him, they felt goosebumps on their scalps.


    Having two grotesque skeletons embedded on the walls at home, ready to give anyone whoes a bony hug?


    What a hellish interior design style!


    No wonder he offended the manager as soon as he arrived, this guy must be mentally abnormal!


    Fearing they might get dragged into trouble by Alexander, the participants quickly put on their work clothes from the wardrobe and ran out.


    Even if the work clothes were covered in fresh blood, even if there was a skull popping in and out of the cab, they didn''t find it so scary anymore.


    When thest participant was about to leave the changing room after quickly dressing up, he looked back onest time.


    Alexander was seen with an excited expression, reaching out and pulling out the skull from the cab. After examining it and apparently finding that it didn''t move, he disappointedly tossed it aside and began to dress.


    Oh my God!


    What kind of participant is this!


    The one who was at the door trembled and immediately quickened his pace.


    By the time Alexander came out of the dressing room, the outside had already started to bustle, with customersing into the restaurant one after another. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Some of these customers didn''t look much different from normal people, while others were terrifying.


    Some were wrapped in red bandages, some wore their bloody intestines as scarves around their necks, some were holding their own heads, and some were charred all over, emitting green smoke...


    The participants nervously went forward to serve.


    A girl named Jessica, perhaps because of extreme nervousness, identally stumbled and bumped into a customer with intestines wrapped around his neck.


    "It''s okay, don''t worry!" The customer smiled, his bloody hand slowly brushing down the girl''s cheek, neck, chest, abdomen, and finally resting on her navel.


    ck ghostly energy shed by, and to the girl''s horror, the customer''s hand plunged directly into her body.


    The next moment, a section of intestine was pulled out.


    Strangely enough, there was no visible wound on the girl''s stomach.


    "Don''t worry, you''ll be fine! This small mistake just cost you a piece of intestine! Next time, you might not be so lucky!" The customer was still smiling, hung the small section of intestine around his neck as a collection, then politely bowed to Jessica.


    Jessica was obviously in extreme pain, with cold sweat pouring from her forehead. She gritted her teeth against the pain and managed to put the cup with an unknown liquid and floating eyeballs that she was holding on the table before clutching her stomach and rushing towards the bathroom.


    For these customers, the selected waitstaff were probably a form of attraction as well!


    Alexander watched this scene, frowning deeply.


    At that moment, the restaurant door opened, and a woman in a red dress with a charming face walked in.


    She was the terrifying female ghost who was cut into 36,000 pieces by her boyfriend with a scalpel in a video of the Ghost Restaurant he had seen before!


    And the ce she was going to was, astonishingly, the VIP area that Alexander was in charge of!

 Chapter 34 Ghost in a Red Dress

    34 Ghost in a Red Dress


    A chill seemed to blow through the restaurant.


    The red skirt swayed, chilling to the bone!


    Tap! Tap! Tap!


    Bright red high heels clicked on the ground, a stunning beauty, a female ghost in a red dress, with delicate features slowly moved toward the VIP area.


    Her movements were slow and graceful, with an indescribable allure.


    But... the entire restaurant was silent, as the red dress moved, you could hear a pin drop.


    Even those customers who were gorging themselves unconsciously straightened their bodies, their eyes shing with a hint of fear and apprehension.


    A deadly ghost!


    At least an existence of a high level of fierceness, simr to the aura that Alexander felt from the electrocuted ghost, but it was hard to say whether it was stronger or weaker.


    Intuition told Alexander that it was definitely stronger, and not just by a single level!


    Not to mention, as soon as this female ghost entered, the restaurant manager, who was at the level of a ferocious ghost, vanished without a trace, obviously hiding!


    Not far away, a malevolent ghost, ckened all over and emitting green smoke, was clutching a stack of ghost coins.


    His gaze had been constantly drifting towards the VIP area, as if he was hesitating whether to splurge and enjoy himself.


    But when he saw the woman in the red dress, he shuddered.


    Not daring to find a seat, he left with his head down.


    "Excuse me, where is the waiter here?"


    The female ghost in the red dress arrived at the VIP area and sat down gracefully, her face revealing a captivating smile.


    If it weren''t for that video, if it weren''t for the silence of the other ghosts.


    Anyone would think that she was a well-cultured noblewoman!


    With no other choice, despite the fact that his mind was filled with the video he had seen when he received the death tattoo, and despite the fact that the sentence was still echoing in his ears.


    "He cut me into pieces, it took me... so much effort to put myself together, 36,000 pieces in total!"


    But, no matter how scared he was.


    Helplessly, Alexander eventually walked over, showing a sincere smile, and asked, "Customer, what would you like to order?"


    "A man?" The female ghost in the red dress frowned slightly.


    Instantly, the goodwill that was originally at zero turned into -10.


    Just as he thought!


    He knew that the manager must have been up to no good, obviously knowing that this female ghost wasing, knowing that she disliked men, so he arranged for him to be in charge of the VIP area!


    He was determined to get him killed!


    Alexander was cursing inside, but his face remained smiling, and he said, "Customer, you came to the restaurant to enjoy the food, why care about gender?"


    "Interesting!"


    The female ghost in the red dress saw that Alexander had no trace of panic on his face, and felt a bit surprised. She lightly lifted her long, beautiful leg in high heels, and her toes hooked on Alexander''s calf.


    With a slight force from her foot, she pulled Alexander toward herself.


    There was a seductive smile on her lips:


    "Coming here, it''s not just about enjoying food, but also enjoying other things, such as... men!"


    Alexander was pulled in front of the red-dressed female ghost. With a slight bow of his head, he could see through her red neckline.


    A strange Lust rose from his heart, he couldn''t help but lean in a little closer.


    "Little brother, you''re quite interesting!" The smile on the female ghost''s face grew even brighter, her hand with red nail polish gently held Alexander''s hand and smoothly ced it on her white leg:


    "Do you like it?"


    That strange Lust, apanied by a bizarre fear, surged from Alexander''s heart, the smooth touch made him couldn''t help but want to stroke back and forth.


    Just then, his gaze caught sight of the top of the female ghost''s head.


    Goodwill -20


    It dropped another 10 points!


    Alexander was suddenly shocked, feeling the desire and fear rising uncontrobly from his heart, his scalp tingled.


    He finally understood why that unfortunate ghost in the video was so attracted to the female ghost in such a dangerous ce.


    The red-dressed female ghost in front of him was subtly influencing his emotions!


    Cold sweat instantly soaked his back, Alexander''s mind finally regained a bit of rity, he bit his tongue hard, and said:


    "Customer, why don''t you order first!"


    "Little brother, don''t you like me?" The female ghost pouted, looking like a wronged little girl, which made Alexander feel the impulse to hold her in his arms andfort her.


    Fortunately, the pain from his tongue helped him maintain rity, his mind racing.


    In the video he had seen before, the red-dressed female ghost had said that her cause of death was being dismembered by her boyfriend.


    Her hatred for men must be because of this.


    Her purpose is clear, which is to vent.


    The method used on Su Rong certainly won''t work here, and no matter what Alexander says, this mindset is hard to change, unless... another way can be found, or someone else for her to vent on!


    "Little brother!" Seeing Alexander silent, the female ghost in the red dress gently pulled Alexander''s hand up and ced it on her thigh through her red dress, her voice soft and seductive:


    "Guess what your sister likes to eat..."


    With that, her bright red tongue gently slid over the corner of her lips, looking at Alexander as if looking at a te of barbecue.


    "You don''t happen to like meat, do you?" Alexander ventured.


    "Giggles... Little brother is really smart, it makes me a little reluctant to let you go!"


    The female ghost in the red dress lightly ran her fingers across Alexander''s cheek. Her not-so-long fingernails slid down his cheek, as sharp as a knife de, sending a chill through Alexander''s skin. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Alexander suddenly straightened up, as if he hade to a realization:


    "I understand now, you should have said it earlier!"


    This sudden movement not only startled the people around, but also made the female ghost in the red dress pause.


    What did he understand? What did I say that he understood!


    Alexander didn''t care about these, if he stayed any longer he would really be a dish. He pretended to have a sudden realization and turned to walk towards the kitchen.


    By the time the female ghost in the red dress reacted, Alexander was already almost in the kitchen.


    Her eyes flickered with red light and her fingertips were slightly cold, but she was so stunned by Alexander''s strange actions that she didn''t stop him.


    Arriving in the kitchen, Alexander immediately shouted at the chef.


    The chef, a fat middle-aged man, wore an apron that looked as if it had been soaked in blood, giving off a fishy smell. Hearing Alexander''s shout, his malicious eyes immediately looked over, threatening:


    "You wretch! Who are you shouting at! If you''re a worm, you should be aware of it! Looks like today there will be one more good ingredient on my cutting board!"


    "You can try!" Alexander shrugged indifferently, watching the chef wave his knife with bits of meat still clinging to it. Instead, he stepped forward and said calmly:


    "If you kill me, will you personally attend to thedy in the red dress in the VIP area?"


    VIP area, red dress...


    As soon as he spoke, the chef trembled violently, his whole body quivered, he retracted his knife and said coldly:


    "Wait for me!"


    With that, he turned around and began to prepare the dish Alexander had ordered.


    Meanwhile, Alexander waited and thought about his strategy.


    He had just had a quick wit, taking advantage of the female ghost''s stunned moment to run over here, barely buying a bit of time.


    But to truly rely on this little cleverness to get through, it was obviously wishful thinking.


    What should he do?


    Fighting was definitely out of the question. Although he could summon Su Rong at any time, with the terrifying power of the female ghost in the red dress, even the strongest electrocuted ghost he had ever seen would probably not be a match.


    If he couldn''t fight, he had to outsmart.


    Pleasing her would be useless. Given her attitude towards men, pleasing her would probably only provoke disgust.


    Recalling quickly in his mind every move of the red-dressed female ghost since she appeared, the stunning long dress, the seductive yet elegant posture, and the red high heels hooking his leg.


    An idea gradually emerged in Alexander''s mind.

 Chapter 35 You need to compensate me

    35 You need topensate me


    "Chef, when will my dish be ready? The customer has started to rush!" Alexander was deep in thought when Jiang Ping, the veteran, came over with a look of urgency.


    "Wait, after his dish is done, it''s your turn!" The chef ghost raised his head in annoyance, his voice filled with menace.


    "Why is that, wasn''t I the one who ordered first!" Jiang Ping was obviously getting anxious, even starting to question.


    The chef, whose temper had been ignited by Alexander, turned his head violently and red fiercely at Jiang Ping: "Either wait patiently, or go and deal with the VIP in the VIP area! Or, I could put you, this damn worm, directly on a te and send it up. I''m sure the customers would love it!"


    "Wait, I''ll wait!" Jiang Ping backed off in fear, waving his hands repeatedly.


    "Hmph, an ignorant worm, if there''s a next time, you''ll be the delicious meal on my te!" The chef ghost snorted coldly, continuing to cook.


    "It''s all your fault!" Jiang Ping red resentfully at Alexander.


    He didn''t dare to confront the chef ghost, but transferred all his hatred onto Alexander. He said, "You''re going to die anyway, why cause trouble for me! Do you know the consequences of making the customers wait! You deserve to die!"


    "Which table are your customers at?" Alexander didn''t get angry, but asked calmly.


    "What, are you jealous? My customers are at table three. Even if I''m dyed a bit, it doesn''t matter much, at worst the score will be a bit lower. You''re different!" When it came to this, Jiang Ping started to feel proud and scoffed, "Who told you to offend the manager as soon as you arrived!"


    "Don''t worry, I''m not a magnanimous person! Just because you dyed me from getting my dish, even if the red-dressed ghost spares you, I will kill you sooner orter!"


    As he spoke, the chef had already finished a te of unknown vegetables, which looked like normal food.


    Indeed, the color, smell, and taste seemed quite right.


    Hearing Jiang Ping''s words, Alexander asked strangely, "Just because I dyed you for a moment? You''re determined to kill me?"


    "So what!" Jiang Ping said proudly, "I''m not afraid to tell you, I''ve been through five instances, and my ghost qi has reached sixty points. No one here understands horror instances better than I do!"


    "If you get ughtered by the woman in the red dress, so be it. But if you''re lucky enough to survive, I have a hundred ways to kill you!"


    "Who made you offend the manager, if I kill you, I''m sure I can get the manager''s favor."


    Upon hearing this, Alexander finally understood what Jiang Ping was up to.


    In order to curry favor with the manager, he actually wanted to kill him.


    "Then I wish your wishes true."


    Alexander, the corner of his mouth slightly turned up, picked up the te of green vegetables and walked outside.


    The movement in the VIP area naturally became the focus of the whole restaurant.


    The chosen ones and customers, who originally thought that Alexander had some tricks up his sleeve, were shocked to see him reallying out with a te of green vegetables.


    "Goodness, he wants to dismiss thedy in the red dress with a te of green vegetables. This man must be mad!"


    "He''s done for, this guy is simply seeking his own death!"


    ...


    The ghost customers in the restaurant were whispering to each other, with a look of schadenfreude on their faces.


    Just as Alexander was about to return to the VIP section, a foot quietly stretched out from the third table as he passed by.


    Alexander was tripped up and nearly dropped the dish he was carrying, which immediately caused the ghost customers to burst intoughter.


    The culprit was a headless ghost customer from table number three. To be precise, he was not headless, a young man''s head with a small braid was ced on the dining table.


    He had a triumphant smile on his face and loudly dered, "Ladies and gentlemen, I''ve imed this one. The Lady in Red doesn''t seem to need more flesh today. She''s likely toozy to take away this guy''s body. Since I imed him first, naturally he belongs to me!"


    Hearing this, the people around showed regretful expressions. It seemed that such teasing was some sort of tradition, and they regretted not acting first.


    The head on the table looked at Alexander, who was staring at him, and sneered, "What are you looking at? You should thank me! Thank Lady in Red! If you were to be her meat, you would be cut up alive more than thirty thousand times. I''m not so picky. It''s rare for me to eat in a restaurant, and adding a meal on the side wouldn''t hurt."


    Apparently, he considered Alexander as his food.


    The ghost in the red dress in the VIP area also watched this scene without any reaction, seeming to acquiesce.


    Seeing this, the head became even more triumphant, and urged Alexander, "Hurry up, don''t you see the Lady in Red is waiting?"


    Alexander, holding that te of greens, seemed resigned as he turned around.


    However, no one noticed the trace of a smirk at the corner of his mouth.


    Not needing flesh means she probably won''t have to piece the flesh of the selected onto her own body like in the video. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    This gave him a bit more confidence.


    "So this is the dish you chose for me? Quite good, but¡­" Looking at the greens Alexander brought, the ghost in the red dress''s lips curled slightly, "I''m in the mood for meat now, whole meat. What do you suggest we do?"


    With a flick of his hand, the head flew directly towards Alexander. His teeth became sharp as wolf''s fangs, his mouth wide open, biting fiercely towards Alexander''s neck.


    14:41


    Alexander faintly sensed a red light shing in the eyes of the woman in the red dress. Following that, an irresistible thought arose in his mind.


    Satisfy her!


    Terrifying, just one nce could influence his thinking!


    Alexander was secretly rmed. The urge to satisfy her became stronger and stronger in his mind.


    It was fortunate that he had greatly enhanced his mental resistance since bing a ghost host, otherwise he would have taken up a knife and fork to serve himself already.


    However, even so, it was bing increasingly difficult to resist the urge to please her.


    Fortunately, Alexander didn''t n on resisting. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, he turned around again, walked directly to the headless ghost:


    "Sir, your actions just now have interfered with my work, and you need topensate."


    "What did you say?" The headless ghost couldn''t believe his own ears, grabbed his hair, lifted his head in front of Alexander, and coldly said, "Compensate? You, a bug, dare to ask me forpensation? Whatpensation do you want?"


    "Sir!" Alexander continued, neither humble nor arrogant, "Since you''ve interfered with my service to the customers, naturally you should make correspondingpensation. For example, how about offering yourself up?"


    The headless ghost was stunned by Alexander''s audacity, subconsciously thinking it was the idea of the ghost in the red dress. Looking over, he saw the ghost in the red dress was just watching this scene with interest.


    He sighed in relief, then red viciously at Alexander:"Filthy bug, dirty rat, if you''re looking for death, I''ll oblige. I want to see where you got the courage to say those words!"


    The headless ghost began to emanate ghostly energy from his head.


    With a flick of his hand, the head flew directly towards Alexander. His teeth became sharp as wolf''s fangs, his mouth wide open, biting fiercely towards Alexander''s neck.


    However, the next moment...


    Thunk!


    With a muffled sound, the head flew out like a baseball. In Alexander''s hand, a blood-stained baseball bat was emitting a chilling ghostly aura.

 Chapter 36 Where are my customers

    36 Where are my customers


    "Evil Spirit level! This human... is actually at the Evil Spirit level!"


    Alexander''s emanating ghostly aura startled all the surrounding ghosts.


    The ghost whose head was struck flying by Alexander was also apparently an evil spirit, but he wasn''t killed by Alexander''s strike.


    His head mmed heavily against the wall, bounced out, and rolled around on the restaurant floor.


    However, his eyes were filled with anger looking at Alexander:


    "You scum! You yed weak to trick me, you''re dead for sure! I will tear you to pieces, cut you a thousand times!"


    The ghost''s head was full of hatred, ghostly energy crazily gushing out, and the body without the head also stood up and walked over here, with ghostly energy swirling around it.


    It looked like the ghostly energies between the two were about to collide.


    The ghost''s head was already grinning, contemting in his heart how to deal with Alexander.


    Thunk!


    At this moment, a big foot kicked the ghost''s head hard.


    "Even in this state, you dare to threaten me! Do you not understand your situation?"


    Alexander kicked the ghost''s head away, turned around and grabbed the body of the headless ghost, walking directly to the VIP area.


    He threw the body of the headless ghost on the ground, Alexander''s face showed a standard eight-toothed smile, his right hand on his chest, he bowed slightly and respectfully said:


    "Esteemed guest, as the most distinguished entity in this restaurant, your food cannot be themon stuff. This is the freshest dish I have prepared for you!"


    Yes, this was Alexander''s method.


    First, to find an outlet for this ghost.


    From the initial video and the red-dressed ghost''s initial attitude towards him, it seemed that she was not here to dine, but to vent!


    Alexander didn''t want to be the target of venting, so he had to find a scapegoat.


    In fact, Alexander''s original target was Jiang Ping, the senior who wanted to kill him!


    But this guy provoked and mocked him, desperately trying to give Alexander a reason to take action, fearing that Alexander wouldn''t notice him.


    So why be polite?


    Through Su Rong and a bunch of neighbors, Alexander had a bit of understanding of the ghosts in this world.


    The desire of ghosts for human flesh and blood came from their instinct, just like some people like to eat delicious food and salivate when they see it.


    Of course, they can also devour souls, which can enhance their power.


    However, the taste of a fresh soul, while delicious, does not contain as much ghost energy as these cultivated ghost beings. If reced with a ghost body of Evil Spirit level, the other party probably wouldn''t refuse!


    The red-dressed ghost woman gazed at Alexander, who was full of dutifulness. A smile once again appeared on her charming face, and she said lightly, "Indeed, very interesting. I''ll ept this dish!


    However, little brother, it''s not enough just like this!"


    After she finished speaking, the red-dressed ghost woman gently hooked her finger. On the ground, that ghost body, along with the distant ghost head, simultaneously let out a scream.


    Following this, the body actually began to melt, turning into a cloud of ghost energy.


    Her pale fingers lightly tapped, and the ghost energy immediately fell onto the dinner te, merging with a piece of green vegetable.


    The red-dressed ghost woman elegantly picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and gently chewed, seeming to taste the vor.


    Alexander felt his scalp tingle. A ghost being of Evil Spirit level! Don''t assume that just because Alexander managed to kick its head off in an instant, it was easy. In reality, it didn''t matter if it was a baseball bat, a ghost being of the same level might not be its opponent even if he held a chainsaw.


    However, in front of this red-dressed ghost woman, it was simply a matter of a gentle hook of her finger. She not only solved that evil spirit but also directly turned it into the purest ghost energy!


    Too terrifying! This, even the electrocuted ghost he''d seen before, or even stronger entities might not be capable of.


    While Alexander was astonished at the red-dressed ghost woman, other people were astonished at Alexander. This human was truly ruthless!


    Some of the guests lowered their heads in a hurry when Alexander''s gaze swept over them, and quickly resumed eating. They weren''t afraid of Alexander in terms of strength, but the problem was that he didn''t y by the rules, and he was using ghosts to bully people!


    "s..."


    Seeing that the evil ghosts looked at him as if a mouse saw a cat, Alexander sighed. He wanted to catch another one for the red-dressed ghost woman to see if he could increase her favorability towards him.


    The headless ghost he had just offered had directly increased the favorability of the red-dressed ghost woman by ten points. Although it was still negative, Alexander finally saw hope.


    Unfortunately, other people didn''t give him the opportunity, without an excuse, Alexander dared not act recklessly.


    After all, the instance prompts stated that a ''small lesson'' can only be taught when the other party is disobedient.


    Seeing his disappointed face, the ghosts shivered collectively and quietly rejoiced. Luckily they reacted quickly and didn''t impulsively attack, otherwise they would have been turned into offerings by this human!


    With a sigh, Alexander shifted his gaze to the red-dressed ghost woman who had already eaten half of the dish. His mind was spinning rapidly.


    The first step wasplete, but the favorability was still at a dangerous number: negative 15. He feared that once she finished eating, it would be his turn to leave.


    The red-dressed ghost woman was incredibly powerful, she probably didn''t need to follow the rules of the restaurant. Just like earlier, Alexander hadn''t done anything wrong, but the red-dressed ghost woman still wanted to take action.


    "Next, it depends on whether my judgment of her is correct or not!"


    "From the looks of it, she''s just a young girl!"


    "What about ghosts! I don''t believe it, in my past life I was a top sales trainer, I could get a beautiful woman in a bar to suggest a hotel room in three minutes, I can handle you, a little girl!"


    ...


    Alexander silently encouraged himself. A smile appeared on his face as he spread his hand, revealing an exquisite ss cup.


    In the ss cup was a liquid as red as blood, continuously bubbling. When held to the ear, faint cries could be heard from within, as if countless resentful spirits were imprisoned inside.


    This was one of the rewards Alexander received for increasing favorability, Ghost C.


    Ghost C


    Grade: Undead


    Introduction: He is a single hikikomori, a standard parasite. His father is a university professor but belongs to those who discipline their sons.


    Facing his ipetent son, the professor father was very angry, scolding, beating, using all the viciousnguage in the world, hoping to wake the child up.


    Extreme education did not bring sess, the son was increasingly rejecting the outside world, the sun, everything.


    Finally, the father who could bear no more picked up an ax and smashed his son''s precious collection - handboards, pillows, dolls... all to pieces.


    The next day, the father found a corpse in his son''s room, and many bottles of c...


    Function: Happy water, it does not have any practical effect, but it possesses a taste that most evil spirits find irresistible. It''s the best choice as a gift to increase favorability.


    "Distinguished guest, such delicious food should not go without a matching drink. I hope you like this c!" Alexander put the cup on the table and said respectfully. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The red-dressed young woman looked up in surprise and took a sip of the c. She didn''t say anything, but the favorability that instantly went from negative fifteen to zero made Alexander breathe a sigh of relief.


    Just as expected, judging by this ghost woman''s elegant demeanor and her disdain for men, her status in life must have been high. As long as he made no mistakes and gave her no reason to criticize, he should be safe.


    He was safe!


    Alexander let out a sigh of relief, but at that moment, a roar of shock and anger reached his ears:


    "Where are my customers, where are my customers?"
