After Zhao Ye learned that she was staying to exorcise the ghost, he was very grateful and quickly brought out various snacks. Because he knew that An Rugu liked to drink tea, he especially made a cup of good tea.

After regaining his calm, Zhao Ye’s original fear changed to an eagerness to try this new experience. The ghost had been with him for many days without harming him. It didn’t seem like a ghost that would seek his death.

He said excitedly, “Hey, can I see this ghost? Is it possible for me to be able to see into another world?”

If he could see it, then he would have seen something not a lot of people could see, and he would be able to brag about it when drinking with other people in the future.

“Do you really want to see?”

He nodded fiercely, “I want to take a look.”

But after all, this was asking for An Rugu’s assistance. He, who had a relatively high emotional intelligence, immediately said, “This should have another price. What can I pay for this? How much would be the total including the exorcism?”

“We’ll see first if this ghost is powerful or not. We’ll talk about it then.”

An Rugu took out the incense ash from her backpack and sprinkled it by the doorway, “When the ghost comes, its footprints will be revealed.”

She has yin and yang eyes, so she could see any ghosts when they come, but it was different for ordinary people.

In general, ghosts only appear in front of people whose yin qi was deep, or when they actively wished to appear to someone.

Zhao Ye looked at the incense ashes spread on the floor by the door and became excited. He took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the incense ashes.

While this was happening, the sun went down, the sky darkened, the city lit up with colorful neon lights, and the time came to seven o’clock in the evening.

Zhao Ye didn’t immediately realize that it was already evening and was still happily taking photos with his mobile phone.

At this time, a sudden change occurred.

A gust of cold wind blew, and a footprint suddenly appeared on the gray incense ashes, as if someone stretched out his foot and stepped on it.

Step by step, more and more footprints appeared on the ashes, extending all the way to the corner.

Zhao Ye rubbed his eyes and shrieked. He was now as scared as he was before. He ran away and hid behind An Rugu, his voice trembling, “Master, he’s coming, he’s coming!”

In a world that he couldn’t see, a male ghost with a strange expression was standing at the corner, exuding a faint ghostly aura.

He had short hair and a decent appearance. He was about 27 or 28 years old. He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and trousers. He looked like a new ghost.

An Rugu picked up the peachwood sword next to her, stood up from the sofa, and said politely to the air in front of her, “Noble person, what is your business here?”

At the same time, a surge of fighting spirit emerged in her heart, and she clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands.

First with courtesy, then with force—she looked for the opponent’s weakness with her eyes, ready to pierce his chest with the sword the moment he showed ill-intent.

The peachwood sword in her hand exuded an aura as large as a mountain, scaring all evil creatures.

The ghost’s legs went weak, and he knelt down with a snap, crying loudly, “Master, if you have something to say, please say it well. Please don’t do anything to me, I am a good ghost!”

He cried so loudly that even Zhao Ye vaguely heard the wails he made.

An Rugu: “…”

Zhao Ye: “…”

Three minutes later, An Rugu suddenly felt a little bored. She lowered her eyes and looked at the timid male ghost who was trying his best to distance himself from her, “What are you doing here?”

On account of the yin wind, the ghost had already shown up in the eyes of Zhao Ye, an ordinary person, which completely shocked him.

Before the male ghost could answer honestly, Zhao Ye pointed at the ghost and said in surprise, “You, weren’t you the previous one?”

“What’s going on?” An Rugu asked.

Zhao Ye answered truthfully, “My apartment is a second-hand house, bought from relatives of the previous owner. He said that this apartment originally belonged to his younger brother, but his younger brother died suddenly while working overtime, so no one was living in it anymore.

“Later, he showed me photos of his younger brother and said that his younger brother was very pitiful, he died so early. He even cried while talking to me about him. “

The male ghost opposite couldn’t help but interject, “Yes, I died suddenly because I stayed up late too much and worked overtime just to pay off my mortgage.”

Zhao Ye: “…”

A corporate slave recognizes a fellow corporate slave. He was also carrying the burden of mortgage payments for this house. For some reason, he vaguely saw his own future in this ghost.

Zhao Ye looked away and said awkwardly, “Then… did you turn on the TV?”

The male ghost said sincerely, “Nowadays, mobile phones have passwords. I can’t turn them on, so I can only watch TV. I thought to myself, why don’t I let you, who suffers from insomnia, have a good night’s sleep? And I’m careful to turn the TV volume to the lowest, so that I won’t disturb you with the noise.

“But I didn’t expect that cat to keep hitting you…”

The cat couldn’t see the ghost, but it vaguely felt that the room was very dangerous, so it tried to wake him up, even if it had to hurt him.

Zhao Ye: “…”

An Rugu: “…”
