Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Afraid of Being Eaten by Her (Sixth Update)_1

You smiled and said, "He’s not afraid of the talisman in your hand. A ghost that can hide within electronic devices and engage in mental communication with humans is not going to fear a talisman. To some extent, he is no longer just a ghost, but a more special entity, one of the Demons and Monsters—the Mei."

"So, what is he afraid of?"

"He’s afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" Yu Xiaomei’s eyes immediately lit up with joy upon hearing this, "Could it be that this young lady is the legendary True Destiny Goddess, a Fairy descended to Earth?"

"On the contrary, he’s afraid of you not because of your identity, but because of your left eye. Your left eye is a more advanced form of the Yin and Yang eyes, known as the Ghost Eye!"

"Ghost, Ghost Eye?" Yu Xiaomei exclaimed in shock, subconsciously covering her left eye with her hand.

You looked at Yu Xiaomei. "You’re quite lucky, it’s a good thing only your left eye is the Ghost Eye. If both of your eyes were Ghost Eyes, you’d probably be locked up in a specially made prison by the Chu Sect right now."

"Hey, don’t scare me! What Chu Sect, Qin Sect, I don’t understand any of that!"

"You’ll find out about these in time." As you spoke, you reached out with your right hand towards Yu Xiaomei, a natural and brilliant smile spreading across your face, "Senior Yu Xiaomei, would you be interested in joining our supernatural detective society?"

Yu Xiaomei’s eyes darted around, and with a smile as crafty as a fox’s across her single-lidded, sharp eyes, she said, "If you help my friend drive away that ghost, I might consider it. Otherwise, don’t even think about it."

Turning to look out the window beside her, she gazed at the garden outside and said, "In this world, there’s no love without reason, and certainly no hatred without cause. That guy sold his ancestral home and went as far as Korea for plastic surgery just to win back his girlfriend. Just that sentiment alone is something your friend won’t be able to repay in this lifetime. It also shows how deeply the man loved her, which makes his obsession all the stronger. Convincing someone with such a strong obsession to leave the Mortal World and enter the Underworld cycle is impossible. Besides, wasn’t your friend obsessed with Du Mingjun? A real-life celebrity would never chat with her, listen to her troubles, much less have a romantic relationship with her, but that ghost can."

"Bullshit! If it were a person, that would be one thing, but it’s a ghost! And you mentioned it’s a Mei—that kind of creature, after spending too much time with it, is definitely going to either drain someone’s essence or take their life."

"Ah, you’ve actually guessed right on that," you said with a chuckle, "the primary goal of a Mei is to confuse people by various means, ultimately to consume their souls."

"So what do we do?"

"I can help, but you have two choices. First, I could use a very special method to remove your Ghost Eye to avoid you being discovered by other forces in the future and refined into something neither human nor ghost, a threat to the Mortal World."

"What did you say? Refined?"

You looked at Yu Xiaomei, still smiling, "Yes, refined. As I mentioned earlier, the Ghost Eye is a higher form of existence than the Yin and Yang eyes. When a person with the Ghost Eye gains full control of it, even a Ghost King who has cultivated for a thousand years would have to avoid them. Now tell me, do you think those forces lurking in the shadows will let you be?"

"It can’t be that exaggerated; you’re really going out of your way to trick me into joining your detective agency, haha, haha."

Yu Xiaomei let out a dry laugh, but as she noticed that everyone around her was looking at her solemnly, her heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

"There’s another choice: join the supernatural detective society and become one of us."

"I’ll take the second option!" Yu Xiaomei was clever indeed. In fact, she had no aversion to joining the supernatural detective society, since everyone who could enter was an elite. But as a girl, she needed to maintain some decorum, to avoid being looked down upon."

"Since that’s the case, Zongzi, you and the Ji Ji man take Sister Xiaomei for a visit first to see the real situation."

Yu Xiaomei glanced at Zong Wangyue and Dai Zhenan before asking, "Can I rely on them?"

Zong Wangyue walked over to Yu Xiaomei with a smile and said, "Sister Mei, we are not combatants. I’m the group leader of the information team, and my name is Zong Wangyue. From now on, you can just call me Zongzi. I may not be good at fighting ghosts, but I am an expert in information exploration. Let’s go."

Yu Xiaomei followed Zong Wangyue and Dai Zhenan with a look of skepticism and uncertainty.

As soon as they left, Wei Shuxian couldn’t help but frown at you and said, "Old Shu, recruiting at this time is a bit risky, isn’t it? What if she’s one of Liu Bai’s people?"

After hearing this, you couldn’t help but smile slightly, "If she had any connection with Liu Bai, that would be great. That way, I could discern what his next plan is. It’s just a pity she isn’t."

Xiao Feng also stood up, walked over to you, and asked, "What do we do next?"

Glancing at everyone before you, you said with a smile, "Since they want to play, then let’s give them a good game!"

You didn’t get involved in the issue concerning Yu Xiaomei’s friend; you left it to Xiao Feng to resolve. After all, this matter couldn’t be solved by force; it could only be addressed through gentle persuasion and verbal communication.

That night, as you were organizing the bookshelf in the dormitory, a crystal card suddenly fell out.

"Old Shu, you dropped something."

Yang Kai, who was nearby, bent down and picked up the gorgeous crystal card, flipping it over to find that besides some noble, elegant patterns and designs, there were no other words or symbols. Yang Kai couldn’t help but ask you, "Old Shu, why does this card look vaguely familiar to me?"

Turning your head to look, your face involuntarily showed a hint of a headache, "This is the crystal card Ruan Yuling gave me the other day. I was supposed to return it to her, but I just haven’t had the free time. And, to be honest, I don’t want to face that woman alone."

"Are you afraid she’ll eat you up?"

A lewd smile spread across Yang Kai’s face.

"Why don’t you go then?" Snatching the crystal card from Yang Kai’s hand, you casually tossed it onto the table.

Yang Kai immediately took a step back, "I don’t want to be drained to death!"

Wei Shuxian, who was reading a book, turned to look at you and said, "Why not have Mei Li and Wenwen deliver it someday? Keeping that thing on you is not a good idea; it’s like a hot potato."

"Hmm, that’s a good idea. I’ll have Mei Li deliver it tomorrow."

No sooner had you spoken than your phone on the table rang. You looked down and exclaimed, "Wow!

14414414444. Such a phone number exists!

Yang Kai also craned his neck to look, exaggerating his expression as he said, "Wow, wow, that phone number is defying the heavens! Whoever can use such a number is either crazy or a madman. Old Shu, since when did you get to know such people?"

"Who knows, maybe it’s a scam company."

Yang Kai immediately said, "I ran into a scammer a few days ago. That guy’s tricks were so low. Come on, let’s listen to how this one is?"
