I Am a Fierce Ghost, How Could I Possibly Submit to Living Under Others - Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Scary, Isn’t It
***
Ordinarily speaking, questioning ghosts can draw nearby wandering spirits for communication and dialogue.
Through this method, one could even directly learn from the ghost’s mouth who killed them, and what grievances or regrets they had in life.
This way, it could also greatly reduce Liu Haoyu’s workload.
However, when situations arise where even possessing the person’s belongings cannot summon them, it indicates that their power is terribly frightening.
One could say this is the most troublesome fierce ghost Liu Haoyu has encountered since entering this profession.
The stronger the fierce ghost, the higher level of spirit sight required. If they don’t appear voluntarily, one might never see their true form in their lifetime.
Even if they do appear, one might not be able to see them.
However, what puzzled Liu Haoyu more was that a fierce ghost’s power is usually directly proportional to their grudge, meaning the more powerful the fierce ghost, the greater harm they pose to humans.
But… why was the fierce ghost in this house showing something entirely different?
Liu Haoyu had never seen such an agreeable fierce ghost, who even seemed somewhat adorably foolish.
After the ghost questioning ended, those lonely spirits and wild ghosts that were drawn in suddenly regained consciousness. They fled in panic through the windows, as if there was some terrifying beast here.
As they ran away, Liu Haoyu could still hear their voices filled with both terror and anger.
“Why the hell are you questioning here? Couldn’t you find a place in the world of the living?!”
This showed that not only humans, but even ghosts despised this house.
Liu Haoyu gathered up the things that needed to be collected, then looked at the red wedding dress in his hands.
Lost in thought.
Finally, he neatly folded the red wedding dress and placed it in a bag.
This item belonged to a fierce ghost and must be properly preserved.
Afterwards, Liu Haoyu spent some time checking all the rooms on the third floor.
Apart from the first room used for hanging clothes, although the other rooms remained just as cold and frightening, the candle in Liu Haoyu’s hand never lit up again.
Who knows where that fierce ghost was hiding
“The third floor has been cleared… and there’s no problem with the first and second floors.”
At this moment, Liu Haoyu suddenly remembered something.
When he bought this house, he recalled Old Wang mentioning that this house had a basement.
So, he returned to the first floor.
However, no matter how hard Liu Haoyu searched, he couldn’t find the entrance to the basement, and by now it was approaching midnight, the time when yin energy is heaviest during the day.
As night had fallen deep, Liu Haoyu decided to return to his room to rest for the night.
The room’s condition was identical to when Liu Haoyu left during the day.
The only difference was that there was now some furniture in the room.
After hanging the red wedding dress from the bag in the wardrobe, Liu Haoyu lay down on the bed.
At the same time, he placed a candle beside the bed.
Being brave doesn’t mean being reckless, this candle was meant for warning purposes.
Ghosts are naturally sensitive to firelight, especially these items specifically used to ward off spirits.
Ordinary ghosts, and even dangerous fierce ghosts, have no way to extinguish these things.
After simply washing his face, Liu Haoyu finally lay down on the bed.
He lay with his eyes closed, unable to fall asleep.
The reason was quite simple, even though the fierce ghost in this house currently showed no signs of hostility, the problem was that the grievance energy in this house was far too heavy.
With the fierce ghost existing in such dense grievance energy, it would inevitably transform into an even more dangerous spirit. Whether it could maintain this friendliness then was unknown.
In his drowsy state, Liu Haoyu entered dreamland.
Shortly after he fell asleep, the candle beside his bed lit up.
That feeble candlelight in the dark world appeared so tiny, as if a single breeze could extinguish it.
And indeed, it was blown out.
The curtains were drawn up by something unknown, and the room fell back into darkness.
The oppressive atmosphere made it feel as if Liu Haoyu wasn’t lying on a bed, but rather inside a coffin.
Meanwhile, “tick-tock” sounds began to echo in the room.
As if something was moving around in the room.
These strange footsteps drew closer, but they passed by Liu Haoyu’s bed and went directly towards the wardrobe.
“Tick-tock… tick-tock…”
These sounds like a clockwork mechanism grew louder, awakening Liu Haoyu from his dream.
He looked at the dark room, then at the candle beside his bed.
Then he looked at the opened wardrobe door and fell into deep thought.
In the wardrobe, not only was the red wedding dress gone, but all his own clothes had vanished as well.
That fierce ghost wouldn’t even leave him a single pair of underwear!
————————
“Got them back…”
Even after putting on her clothes, Qin Liu’s face still carried a slight blush.
She now completely understood.
This person who had occupied her room was definitely an unrepentant pervert.
She must have been out of her mind at the time, taking off her clothes and hanging them on the clothesline to scare people?
What was she thinking?
“Thankfully that person couldn’t see me.”
Qin Liu covered her face, feeling somewhat unable to face it directly.
But she had to admit one thing, that this man in her room was truly brave.
Not only was he unafraid of ghosts, but he wasn’t afraid of death either.
Sleeping with a candle by the bedside late at night, was he not afraid of burning to death?
He had zero fire safety awareness, and needed a ghost to blow it out for him, how ridiculous is that?
“Good thing I’m kind-hearted and benevolent, otherwise, he could have burned to death, serves him right.”
Perhaps feeling satisfied with doing a good deed, Qin Liu felt greatly fulfilled.
But good deed aside, this person still had to be driven out.
“Let you smell my clothes? Now I’ll let you have no clothes to wear at all!”
Qin Liu was laughing happily as she looked at the thick stack of clothes in her hands. Those bright little eyes rolled thoughtfully, and she decided to hang these clothes on the third floor.
Last night he had encountered her in the third-floor laundry room, and now his clothes would be placed in the laundry room.
How’s that, scary enough?
No… she could add something extra.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Liu began her plan.
When morning came the next day, just as Qin Liu had predicted, Liu Haoyu saw that there were no clothes in the wardrobe and began searching everywhere.
Soon, he went up to the third floor.
When Liu Haoyu walked into the laundry room, he saw his clothes.
However, beside his clothes hung a human figure.
As the sun had just risen, the light wasn’t very bright yet.
Looking closer, Liu Haoyu saw that the figure was a hanged woman.
Due to the rope’s constriction, this woman’s neck was almost broken, her head tilted to one side, limbs hanging lifelessly.
As the wind gently blew, the woman’s face gradually turned towards him.
Those were pale white eyes, now staring fixedly at Liu Haoyu.
Unexpectedly, Liu Haoyu walked right under this hanging ghost, lifted the skirt, tilted his head, and tried to peek at a certain deep and mysterious place.
Then this man’s face was kicked squarely by the ghost.
