Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, Principal Tian, and several Taoists from the Metaphysical Society stood underneath the new dormitory building.

“Little Long, the entire dormitory building has been permeated by a ghostly aura. Tonight, the fierce ghost will surely descend! This is its hunting excursion,” Ma Chuxia said as she too opened her ‘Yin-Yang Eyes’ and saw the spotty bloodstains on the external walls of the dormitory. In fact, they were caused by the strong ghostly aura.

“Well, we need to shield our auras so as not to frighten the ghost that steals eyes and affect its hunt tonight,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. Then, he took out several talismans and had everyone stick them on themselves.

Once that was handled, Principal Tian informed the dormitory supervisor, then led Huang Xiaolong and the others into the dormitory.

The dormitory was filled with a heavy Yin energy. The corridors were chillingly cold, and many students had already shut their doors – some sitting in front of their computers playing games, others lying on their beds reading.

The group went straight to the outside of Dorm 502.

This was where Yu Dabao lived.

A single room.

Inside, it was pitch dark as if no one was there.

“Uh… did this kid get scared off? He’s not staying in the dorm tonight?” Principal Tian was astonished.

“He’s in there. I heard breathing sounds. Seems like he’s asleep,” Ma Chuxia said, concentrating.

“Here~~ the Yin energy is strongest in this room out of the entire dormitory building,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “Or rather, all the Yin energy is converging towards this Dorm 502.”

“I have the key, I’ll open the door first,” Principal Tian pulled out a set of keys, found the right one, and then opened the door to Dorm 502.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold air blew out.

Principal Tian shivered and immediately switched on the light.

The room was brightly lit by the light.

It was a fancy school after all; the dormitory conditions naturally went without saying. This dorm was like the suite of a five-star hotel, with a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, all very elegantly decorated.

Everyone stood in the living room, only hearing faint snoring noises coming from the bedroom.

“Hey~~ this kid is actually asleep! What time is it?” Principal Tian said, half laughing and half crying, and then shouted. “Yu Dabao! Yu Dabao, get up for me!”

Yu Dabao did not respond.

The snoring in the bedroom continued.

With a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, Huang Xiaolong was the first to walk into the bedroom. Everyone quickly followed behind.

In the bedroom, Yu Dabao was lying on the bed, sound asleep, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up as if he were having a beautiful dream.

“Yu Dabao, get up! It’s time to get out of bed!” The principal called out a few more times.

“Forget it, save your breath, stop calling. He’s been bewitched by the ghostly aura. No matter how much you shout, he won’t pay any attention,” Huang Xiaolong said with a mocking smile, “He’s completely mesmerized by the ghostly aura. Let’s go into the living room to make some tea and wait while drinking it.”

Everyone left the bedroom and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Principal Tian went to get some good tea leaves.

As they chatted and sipped the tea, time flew by quickly.

The Taoists from the Metaphysical Society discussed the strange and bizarre ghostbusting tales they had encountered over the years, which made Principal Tian listen with rapt attention.

The clock struck midnight.

Bursts of cold wind blew even more fiercely towards the dormitory.

At that moment, the faint sound of a woman’s giggling could be heard in the air of the dormitory.

On this silent night, it made one’s skin crawl.

Just then!

The snoring from the bedroom stopped abruptly!

Then, rustling noises followed!

“Is he getting up? Is student Yu Dabao getting out of bed?” Principal Tian exclaimed.

Footsteps sounded.

The bedroom door opened.

Yu Dabao came out!

He wore a set of pajamas, his eyes wide open, filled with an incredibly greedy, soul-stealing gaze. The corners of his mouth were turned upward even more, forming a bizarre and exaggerated smile on his face.

Yu Dabao didn’t even glance at the people in the living room, walking out of the dorm as if he were sleepwalking.

Cold sweat broke out on Principal Tian’s face. “It’s… it’s just like those four students who somnambulated in the middle of the night with their eyes bulging out! The same situation! Yu Dabao! Student Yu Dabao! Come back!” he called out nervously.

But Yu Dabao completely ignored him, seemingly immersed in an odd dream, deaf to the people and sounds around him.

Soon, Yu Dabao left the dormitory.

“`

“Don’t dawdle, follow me. That eye-stealing ghost has already arrived~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled and quickly caught up with Yu Dabao.

Yu Dabao left the dormitory and went down the stairs.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, a chilling gust of wind suddenly whooshed through, blowing open the tightly closed dormitory door, allowing Yu Dabao to walk out of the building with ease.

Once outside, Yu Dabao almost instinctively made a round and headed straight for the school’s rear garden.

“We’re getting closer to the site of the incident… closer… just… it’s right ahead, near a… a flowerbed…” Principal Tian’s legs trembled violently.

True to his words, Yu Dabao stopped in front of a flowerbed.

He slightly tilted his head back, and the light from a nearby lamp shone on his face, giving his profile an eerie appearance. His eyes were fixed on something, his expression somewhere between smiling and not smiling.

“Master! Quick! Quick! That’s the expression! The previous students also had… displayed such expressions before their eyes just went ‘pop’, and exploded, blood everywhere, terrifying to death!” Principal Tian’s nerves were completely on edge, about to snap!

“Little Long!” Ma Chuxia too was somewhat nervous, seemingly afraid that in the next second, Yu Dabao’s eyes would burst out.

“Hahaha~~~ Such petty tricks dare to show off in front of this lord?” Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed out loud, and tossed out a talisman to reveal the truth.

The talisman ignited itself.

A flash of golden light.

A female ghost appeared, materializing a few steps away from Yu Dabao near the flowerbed, revealing her ghostly form.

This was a very beautiful and enchanting female ghost.

She wore a kimono from the Dongying islands, her features were exquisite, her eyes seductive, her fingers slender, smiling at Yu Dabao as charmingly as the spring.

And Yu Dabao was bewitched, his eyes intently fixed on her.

“Oh, it’s a ghost from the Dongying islands again…” A flicker of anger passed through Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

For a ghost from the islands to venture into Huaxia territory was a severe provocation to Huang Xiaolong! Because Huaxia’s supernatural incidents, the thousands of souls and myriad ghosts, to put it plainly, were under Huang Xiaolong’s jurisdiction!

For a ghost from another nation to come and wreak havoc, even harming people, was tantamount to trampling on Huang Xiaolong’s turf!

“Giggling~~ Giggling~~~~” The Dongying female ghost shook with laughter, turned her head to glance at Huang Xiaolong and the others, and rattled off a string of unintelligible sounds.

Ma Chuxia immediately translated at his side, “Little Long, it says it only needs two more pairs of eyes to complete the collection of 100 pairs of human eyes and tells us not to meddle in its business…”

“Collecting 100 pairs of human eyes?” Huang Xiaolong’s heart stirred, then waved his hand dismissively. “This is just a strand of the malevolent ghost’s aura.”

A streak of golden light flashed by, and the Dongying female ghost, her body sizzling and emitting blue smoke, was instantly burned into a wisp of ghost qi.

“Giggle~~~ Giggle~~~” An indistinct laughter echoed through the air.

Soon, that wisp of ghost qi also dissipated into nothingness.

Bang~~~!

Yu Dabao suddenly fell to the ground.

“Little Long, was that just now… not the true form of that fierce ghost, merely a strand of ghost qi taking shape?” Ma Chuxia was astounded.

Huang Xiaolong took out a spell talisman and handed it to a Taoist from the Metaphysical Society, “Burn this talisman into ash and let that student drink it with water.”

“Mr. Huang, I understand,” the Taoist from the Metaphysical Society took the order and left.

“Little Long, what on earth is going on?” Ma Chuxia was thoroughly confused now.

“Wifey, let’s just walk around.” Huang Xiaolong, holding Ma Chuxia’s hand, began to stroll through the garden.

“Wifey, although I have not delved deeply into the ghosts of Dongying, I have read some ancient texts,” Huang Xiaolong explained leisurely. “If I’m not mistaken, this time, it is the ‘Hundred-Eyed Ghost.’ The so-called ‘hundred’ doesn’t refer to one hundred eyes, but one hundred pairs of eyes.”

“Hundred-Eyed Ghost?” Ma Chuxia was taken aback.

“That’s right, legend has it that in the island country of Dongying, there is a type of ghost formed from the spirits of beautiful women who have died. These ghosts use their qi to create alluring illusions to bewitch men and steal their eyes for their own use. Once it has a hundred pairs of eyes, it will become an uncontrollable demon king.”

“Ah! I see! No wonder that strand of ghost qi that took the shape of a female ghost said it was two pairs of eyes short of completing its collection! It was about to gather a full 100 pairs of eyes!” Ma Chuxia suddenly realized.

Huang Xiaolong continued, “There is another legend. Once in Dongying, a Hundred-Eyed Ghost was discovered in Osaka. When a Dongying mage attempted to subdue it, the ghost already had 99 pairs of eyes. The evil glow from its 99 pairs of eyes rendered the mage immobile. To prevent the Hundred-Eyed Ghost from obtaining its full hundred pairs, the mage blinded himself and then sealed the ghost’s two main eyes on its head with the ash of incense. Only then was he able to subdue it.”

“Little Long, this Hundred-Eyed Ghost that came to Changnan City is close to gathering 100 pairs of eyes… it’s about to become an uncontrollable demon king!” Ma Chuxia said in a worried tone.

“Hahaha~~~ Wifey, you’re really too naive. What ‘uncontrollable demon king’? I don’t care about that. In my presence, there is no ghost I can’t deal with!” Huang Xiaolong scoffed. “Of course, I won’t let it gather 100 pairs of eyes and complete its final transformation. But even if it really does evolve, I can easily take it down! Hahaha, no matter how powerful a Dongying ghost is, can it be more formidable than our Huaxia’s Ghost King?”

After thinking for a moment, Ma Chuxia spoke seriously. “Little Long, we shouldn’t wait for it to gouge out more people’s eyes, we need to stop it! A Dongying ghost creating havoc in our Huaxia and harming the living, as if no one in Huaxia can stand against it? We must eradicate it! Little Long, do you have any leads? Where is the true body of this Hundred-Eyed Ghost hiding?”

Whooo whooo~~ Whooo~~~

In the sky above the school, mournful wisps of ghost qi began to swirl, and in the night sky, as if there were beautiful women in kimonos spinning, lamenting, crying, telling their stories…

“There’s no need to look for it any longer. Hehe~~ it’ll soon come to this school,” Huang Xiaolong said, looking up at the night sky, his eyes slightly narrowed. “It seems that tonight, it is determined to gather the last two pairs of eyes to complete its final evolution… Hahaha~~ good, good, Hundred-Eyed Ghost, I’ve never seen one before, today, I’ll broaden my horizons… Hahaha~~~ come on!”
