“There must be humans inside.”
The resentful ghost floated in the air. The environment of the Ghost Market made it feel carefree. It reveled in its own powerful abilities.
The mirror ghost licked its uneven sharp teeth and said excitedly, “I’ll go trick the humans into opening the door. You get ready to coordinate with me.”
Because they were too afraid of the golden-eyed humans, they had escaped the adult gathering order, thereby preserving their lives.
Relying on the two ghosts' strong abilities to preserve their lives, they hid from the patrol team's search, sneaking into a household.
The two ghosts reminded each other not to eat even if their saliva was dripping.
Without any dead people they wouldn't attract the patrol team's attention.
Finally, they followed the little mirror of the household's daughter and hid inside the school.
Now their only demand of Big Brother was:
Don't die too fast!
Every time Big Brother suddenly went crazy, they didn't have time to find another home to transfer to.
Life without Big Brother covering for them was so hard to endure...
The two hungry and dizzy ghosts sighed with such feelings.
The resentful ghost put the mirror taken down from the dance studio at the entrance, directly facing the door.
As soon as it saw the mirror, the mirror ghost could transform into the person the human most wanted to see. Normally it was difficult to do because the mirror ghost needed a long transformation time.
But inside this Ghost Market, the mirror ghost's abilities were enhanced, and the transformation time was shortened enough to deceive ordinary humans’ eyes.
After preparing, the mirror ghost started knocking on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
Rustling sounds came from behind the door. The humans thought they were moving stealthily, but the ghosts could hear everything clearly.
The resentful ghost used its abilities to bestow auditory illusions on itself. It could make the person hearing the sound feel it was familiar.
“Is anyone inside?”
The resentful ghost suppressed its excitement and asked the humans inside in a calm tone.
Answering yes or no was admitting they were human. Then the ghosts could barge right in.
Even if it didn't work, the humans hearing the familiar voice would also look outside to see if it was someone they recognized.
As expected, the human inside didn't answer. They hid behind the door, peeking outside. The mirror ghost felt someone looking towards the mirror and activated its abilities to change its appearance.
The familiar outline did make the person behind the door relax their vigilance. The table was pushed aside by the human.
The mirror ghost stared at the wooden door intently like a hunting beast, its teeth grinding loudly.
It wanted to charge in and have a full meal!
The mirror ghost impatiently pushed away the resentful ghost's harassment. What was wrong with it going in first?
Usually in fights it contributed the most effort. In daily life it also had to come up with plans. On what basis did the resentful ghost dare compete with it for the limelight?
But this time the resentful ghost was very persistent. It grabbed the mirror ghost around the waist and forcibly dragged it away from the door.
The mirror ghost surged with anger. Normally Big Brother covered for you so much. Just one human made you forget your loyalty?
It shook off the hands around its waist. The mirror ghost swore that if it didn't get the first bite of the human, it would no longer consider the resentful ghost its brother.
Left with no choice, the resentful ghost could only float next to the mirror ghost's ear, speaking respectfully even though it knew it was lying.
“Hey, are you stupid? Hurry up and see what you look like now?”
What do I look like? Isn't it just the person the human inside wants to see the most?
Just to eat a human, this guy had abandoned all loyalty. Don't even think about tricking me!
The more the mirror ghost thought about it, the angrier it got. Unless the resentful ghost apologized, otherwise this matter...
A mirror appeared in front of it. The person in the mirror had black hair and light brown eyes, with perfectly proportioned facial features that looked like the patrol team of death to the mirror ghost.
The mirror ghost was greatly shocked and retreated repeatedly.
The person in the mirror made the same motions as it did.
Could it be?
Its eyes shook as it looked towards its good partner, the resentful ghost.
The resentful ghost nodded heavily, confirming its guess.
"Ahhh!"
The wooden door opened, and a boy around 1.2 meters pulled open the door. He saw the mirror ghost baring its protruding teeth.
"Bro!"
Qi Ao happily smashed into the mirror ghost, catching it unprepared and nearly breaking its waist.
The combined killing power of Zhuang Heng's group still wasn't as damaging as Qi Ao's single blow.
But the mirror ghost didn't dare to get angry and could only wish it could disappear on the spot.
It looked to the resentful ghost for help.
The resentful ghost spread its hands helplessly. Who would have thought the mirror ghost wouldn't leave earlier.
Qiao Ming and Xiao Qian covered their eyes in fear when they saw Qi Ao open the door directly, but couldn't help peeking out curiously through their fingers.
Xiao Qian was very happy someone had come to save them. Although it wasn't her parents, she was still very glad.
Qiao Ming had a reluctant expression. On one hand, his brother had arrived later than Qi Ao, which made the image-conscious boy very disappointed. On the other hand, they had been hiding here for a long time already, so having an adult come find them also made him feel very reassured.
The two children greeted the mirror ghost softly and stood obediently on either side.
Qi Ao didn't care about any of that. He was just happily intoxicated.
At their young age, a little rose was enough to make them feel superior.
Not to mention, it was the brother who usually bullied him giving him face. It made the image-conscious Qi Ao float on cloud nine.
He waved his hand grandly and started ordering his brother, "Bro, let's go. Xiao Qian said she doesn't want to stay here."
The mirror ghost signaled the resentful ghost, who had hidden its form with an illusion.
What should we do?
Both ghosts could be impulsive. Although the resentful ghost blamed the mirror ghost for not listening to it earlier, it still helped it come up with a plan.
It used an illusion to control the three children before speaking, "Now that this door is open, our companions outside also know. We can't leave them here."
"I know, but we also can't beat our higher-ranked companions either."
"Let's hand them over to those humans. That way, if anything goes wrong, it won't be our business. I'll first lead away the ones outside. In a few minutes, you bring them out and stay in another room. When I find the humans, I'll bring them over."
"Okay, resentful ghost, you really are my good brother."
After whispering, the two ghosts split up to act.
A while later, the mirror ghost received the message and had the three follow it outside.
"Bro, are we really leaving?"
Qi Ao felt a little overwhelmed. Usually his brother wasn't so easy to talk to.
The mirror ghost recalled Qi Yuan's way of speaking. Since the golden-eyed one liked educating monsters, he probably also liked educating humans.
It patiently explained to Qi Ao as if teaching a class, "This place is unsafe now. We need to change locations."
This gentle tone made Qi Ao feel a little uncomfortable. He realized his brother was giving him a lot of face today, but after years of oppression he understood the wisdom of quitting while ahead.
Xiao Qian and Qiao Ming listened like diligent students, vigorously nodding to show they understood and followed the mirror ghost closely.
Qi Ao bashfully walked up and squeezed next to Xiao Qian.
"This is my brother. Impressive, right?"
Xiao Qian's cheeks turned red. She glanced furtively at the mirror ghost, "Impressive..."
Qi Ao didn't notice her blushing face and giggled foolishly, striving to be Peach Blossom Fan Club member number one.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
For the sake of his unrequited love, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him at the altar, indirectly causing the death of his parents. Just when he thought his life was plunged into darkness, a clueless yet beautiful girl unexpectedly took him in. Looking back, he realized how many hidden gems had always been by his side. A childhood friend who had secretly loved him for over a decade, a stunning but socially clueless school beauty, a mischievous and playful girl who lived for chaos... His ex, filled with regret, pleaded: "I was wrong—can we go back to how things were?" Before he could respond, the girl stepped in front of Ye Shuang and coldly declared, "If you didn’t cherish him, then he’s mine now." Also known as: "After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Hidden Gem," "The School Beauty I Raised," and "Oh No, I’m Surrounded by Rich Girls."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
