An Rugu’s eyes could always see some things that went beyond the normal senses, but once the yin and yang eyes were opened, she saw another world completely.

However, opening the yin and yang eyes required a lot of mana. It also caused its own inconvenience—for example, it would be easy for people to think that she was color blind. So An Rugu didn’t often open the yin and yang eyes, and if she ever did, she would turn them off immediately after using them.

Amid everyone’s expectant or adoring gazes, An Rugu lowered her gaze and raised her hands to cover her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, strange colors flashed through her dark pupils—and the world before her had suddenly changed.

Colors became muted, black and white became the primary tones, and the whole world has turned into shades of gray. Even the dazzling sun has been cast into shadow.

She looked around and a familiar yin qi came to the tip of her nose. She turned around and walked to the part of the rooftop where some debris was placed.

This area was a shed which contained a lot of junk—cardboard boxes, steel pipes, bags, etc. It seemed like someone collected these discarded things and put them here waiting to be sold for money.

An iron box placed in the corner of the shed was incompatible with all the other sundry around it. Its outer surface was polished until it gleamed. There seemed to be something important inside, and there was a slight trace of gloomy energy coming from it.

An Rugu opened the iron box, and a black backpack came into view.

The black backpack was old and well-worn but very clean. There were not many books inside, and she was able to pick up the bag very easily.

Zhang Jingyuan and the others suppressed their fear and walked over, “Where did this schoolbag come from?”

“This is where the dorm manager keeps the sundries. He should have picked it up.”

However, An Rugu said, “This should be something left by Zhou Keyu.”

Zhang Jingyuan and the others quickly took a few steps back: “!!!”

An Rugu’s cold gaze passed over the worn, black schoolbag. “Stop hiding, I know you are here.”

Some ghosts were independent immediately after becoming one, such as Shang Yue. There were also ghosts that must rely on haunting items to survive.

Standing next to An Rugu, Shang Yue saw this kind of ghost possessing an object of obsession for the first time. She bent over, full of curiosity, and peered at the black schoolbag from several angles.

The way for ghosts to increase their strength was to absorb yin qi. Shang Yue grabbed two strands of yin qi that was wrapped around the schoolbag, opened her mouth, and popped the yin qi into her mouth. She tasted it for a while and nodded with satisfaction.

“Human food tastes good, but it doesn’t gain me anything. It’s still yin qi that’s a great source of energy.”

Black schoolbag: “…”

He was attached to his schoolbag and had been diligently accumulating yin qi for eight years. Relying on these accumulated yin qi, he transformed from a lowly earth-bound spirit into a powerful ghost that could manifest itself.

However, the exercise book he possessed was destroyed, and his strength was greatly reduced as a result.

Now even the few remaining yin qi in his physical body was eaten away by that gluttonous female ghost!

The black schoolbag couldn’t help but move. Without anyone taking action, the zipper seemed to be opened by a hand. He opened his zipped up mouth and spit out a new exercise book.

An Rugu took the exercise book and looked at it. The yin qi in this exercise book was not as good as the previous one.

The exercise book warmed up slightly, and An Rugu understood what the ghost meant. She opened the exercise book and the words on the first page came into view.

The handwriting was neat and tidy, as if expressing the owner’s sincerity.

[Stop eating! Stop eating it!]

An Rugu: “…”

Seeing Shang Yue eating happily, An Rugu looked at the few yin qi still remaining on the schoolbag, thought about it, and stopped her, “Shang Yue, don’t eat it yet. Let him finish what he has to say.”

“Okay.” Shang Yue put down the yin qi in her hand without finishing it and wiped her mouth. But after having tasted the sweetness, she stared at the exercise book eagerly.

The exercise book trembled at this. The previous words disappeared, and new words immediately appeared on the page: [It’s because I didn’t see clearly, so please let me go.]

He used to think that the most powerful one was this female ghost, and that this woman was merely the vassal of the female ghost. After all, how could such a powerful female ghost be led by humans peacefully?

He and the female ghost were of the same kind, and there was no conflict of interest. The other party could not harm him, so he has always felt at ease and relaxed.

But it turned out that his idea was wrong—the woman in front of him was a mysterious existence that could lead evil spirits!

Thinking of this, Zhou Keyu felt like crying.

How could the tiny Dongfeng Town No. 3 High School welcome this giant Buddha?

He was no longer as arrogant as before, and his kneeling posture—if he could kneel—would be textbook perfect.

However, An Rugu had no intention of letting him go, and a cold look flashed in her dark eyes. “You have no grudges against those two students, and yet you took away their souls. Now you ask me to let you go? Isn’t that unfair to those two students?”

New text was quickly printed on the exercise book: [Those who seduce people’s souls and harm others will be arrested by the Underworld. I did not seduce their souls, I merely made them unconscious.]

“Then why did you do this?” An Rugu still didn’t understand Zhou Keyu’s thinking.

[I’ve just been too bored. After I became a ghost, I had no other entertainment. The happiest thing was to see what my juniors were doing. They suddenly played ‘Spirit of the Pen’ in their room. This game requires bloodletting, which would attract a lot of yin qi. I wanted to absorb the yin qi there, so I became the spirit they summoned for a time.

But the questions they asked me were too much. I… I just wanted to take a small revenge on them!]

An Rugu: “?”

Other people in the rooftop:”???”

An Rugu turned back to look at the confused Zhang Jingyuan. “What questions did you ask?”

Zhang Jingyuan thought about this, exchanged a look with his roommate, and immediately lowered his head. He answered with an awkward smile on his face, “…Well, we were a little curious whether the spirit was a boy or a girl, so our first question was: are you a big guy who picks his feet or a cute girl?” 

After all, who wouldn’t be curious about the gender of the entity they invite, right?

An Rugu: “…”

Other people in the rooftop: “…”
