8 Chapter 8: What's the Real Story Behind Your Grandpa?

The female ghost was speechless for a while.

I'm a virgin, what could I possibly do to you?

Don't you remember what you did last night?

She shook her head, still maintaining her aloof and silent demeanor in front of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang was a bit annoyed.

He jumped off the couch, wrapping his private parts with a blanket and pointing at a white lace thong, questioning, "You still dare to deny? Then tell me what this is?"

The female ghost: "..."

She paused for a moment.

What is this?

Is this something left behind by those two shameless women last night?

"What?"

"Can't say anything now?"

Xu Yang snorted coldly, not expecting this female ghost who always looked so aloof to actually wear something like this...

Wait a minute?

He suddenly realized something.

Do female ghosts...

Need to wear underwear like these?

Even if they do, it wouldn't be made of this kind of material, right?

He frowned, trying to recall. It seemed like he was brought back last night by Zhang Li and Yu Xiao...

Oh no!

"Could it be that I was... done by these two women?"

Xu Yang shuddered.

Seeing this, the female ghost waved her hand.

With a fluttering sound, a white paper floated over and landed on the coffee table.

She pointed her delicate finger into her mouth, bit off half, and then used the finger as a pen and her blood as ink to write on the paper, "You were drunk last night, and two women brought you back. Don't worry, they didn't do anything to you... I scared them away!"

They didn't do anything to me?

Xu Yang sighed in relief.

But deep inside...

He felt a strange sense of regret... what a wasted opportunity!

Anyway, it's good that those two women were so immodest, who knows if they had any diseases? It's better that they were scared away; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to resist in his drunken state and would definitely have been taken advantage of!

He looked at the female ghost, noticing that after writing the words, she put the severed half of her finger back in place, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

What is a ghost?

A ghost is formed from resentment, obsession, and evil energy. There is no flesh and blood, so where did the blood come from?

The female ghost used her finger as a pen and blood as ink; it was just for show. After she finished writing, the bloody words on the paper vanished into a cloud of Yin energy.

The aftereffects of last night's heavy drinking were giving Xu Yang a headache.

He found his clothes and saw that the female ghost was still staring at him. He complained, "Lady Ghost, can you give me some personal space? There's a saying that one shouldn't stare, men and women should have their boundaries... How am I supposed to get dressed with you staring at me like this?"

Upon hearing this, the female ghost was about to turn around and leave.

But...

As the dignified Ghost King, if I let him boss me around like this, wouldn't it be too humiliating?

She covered her face with her black hair and began randomly gesturing in the air.

Buzz!

A line of blood-red words appeared again.

"I've already seen everything last night... It's nothing much!"

"!!!"

Xu Yang was at a loss for words.

Have I become an exhibit in a zoo or something?

But the female ghost was not wrong; she had seen him so many times these past few days, so why should he care now?

Immediately, he forcefully pulled off the blanket covering his body...

The female ghost shuddered.

Whoosh!

She instantly transformed into a wisp of Yin energy and flew away.

"Ha-ha!"

Xu Yang laughed, "So, you know how to be scared too..."

His sentence was interrupted by a crisp voice echoing through his mind-

"Ding!"

"The female ghost has been frightened, gaining 100 merit points."

This caused the previously prepared-to-get-dressed Xu Yang to fall into a stupor.

Could this be...

A system?

Xu Yang was a young man.

When there was no business in the funeral home, he liked to search for novels online. His favorite genre was "system novels."

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that I, Xu Yang, have awakened a system just like the protagonists in those novels?"

A few seconds later, Xu Yang became excited.

He tried to call out the system using the method in the novels, and sure enough, a screen popped up before his eyes.

[Name]: Xu Yang

[Age]: 22 years old

[Daoist Arts]: None

[Cultivation]: None

[Magical Treasures]: None

[Merit Points]: 300 points.

[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards

"Daoist Arts, cultivation, magical treasures, storage space..."

"It has all the basic elements of a system, but it's a pity that there's no lottery interface. I remember that many systems in novels have lotteries where you can casually spend some attribute points and draw immortal artifacts, divine artifacts, and other things..."

Xu Yang scrutinized the attribute panel that only he could see.

He noticed that there was a small "+" symbol next to [Storage Space].

Based on his extensive knowledge of online literature, Xu Yang instantly deduced... this system should be based on the "one-touch upgrade" or "deep blue additional points" mode.

And thinking back to the notification sound from earlier...

Through the records of acquiring [Merit Points], Xu Yang discovered that the other 200 points were also gained from scaring the female ghost.

"The female ghost was frightened?"

"So, to gain these merit points, do I have to scare ghosts?"

Scare ghosts?

Xu Yang's expression became pensive...

This system is interesting; it wants a person to scare ghosts?

As for the "None" listed after the [Daoist Arts], [Cultivation], and [Magical Treasures], Xu Yang didn't care much. After all, he hadn't cultivated them, so "None" was normal.

The only downside was that there was no newbie gift pack in this system!

This was simply unreasonable!

After putting on his clothes.

Xu Yang washed up and went outside to buy breakfast while pondering "how to scare ghosts."

His gaze occasionally swept over the female ghost.

"When I pulled off the blanket earlier, the female ghost was clearly frightened... Could it be that ghosts are afraid of my... thing?"

Xu Yang looked down at himself again.

Imagining the scene where he found an evil ghost and suddenly pulled his pants down in front of it, he couldn't help but shiver.

"This method could work on the female ghost, but I'd better not try it on other ghosts..."

As he was thinking about it.

His phone rang.

Picking it up, the caller ID showed "Officer Wang." Xu Yang quickly answered the call and asked, "Officer Wang, have my grandpa's remains been found yet?"

On the other end of the phone.

Officer Wang was silent for a moment before saying, "Xu Yang, are you at your store now? It's not convenient to talk about this on the phone. I'd like to discuss it with you in person."

Xu Yang's heart sank.

He had a bad feeling about this.

Soon after.

Officer Wang drove his police car to the store.

As soon as he saw Xu Yang, he played the live video clip that his apprentice had given him.

"Xu Yang, to tell you the truth, we've found some clues in your case... But the higher-ups called and told us to stop the investigation!"

"What?"

Xu Yang couldn't quite accept it and asked in a deep voice, "Officer Wang, my grandpa's remains haven't been found yet, so why stop the investigation?"

Officer Wang shook his head and said, "Because this matter has gone beyond the scope of our responsibilities."

He looked at Xu Yang and asked seriously, "Xu Yang, just what kind of background does your grandfather have?"
