Master, is my portrait ready for the funeral?"
The girl hurried to the photo studio and went inside to ask the photographer next to her.
The photographer gave her a strange look for a few seconds, then nodded slowly: "It's done."
He stared at the girl as if she were a lunatic.
When they came to take a funeral portrait, I thought it was someone who was about to die or an elderly person. But it turned out to be a lively young man with a rosy complexion. How could I not be suspicious?
The girl took out a framed black-and-white photograph from the drawer, nodded in satisfaction, paid the remaining amount, wrapped the portrait in yellow paper, and calmly left under the photographer's ardent gaze, heading off to buy paper money for the dead.
"Boss! Do you have ghost money produced by the Underworld Bank?"
The portly owner of Tianbaotang knew a customer had arrived when he saw the beautiful, fair-skinned young girl in front of him.
With a gentle smile on his face, he went up to her and said, "Yes, yes."
Tianbaotang is a shop that specializes in selling funeral supplies. Except for the Qingming Festival and the Ghost Festival when there are many customers, most of the customers are people whose families have passed away.
The entire street outside the store is lined with funeral shops like this, and the customers who come to buy offerings are divided up, resulting in a decrease in foot traffic.
In addition, with the economic downturn, doing business is becoming increasingly difficult, so the only option is to focus on service.
"The ghost money is placed here. Little girl, how much do you want?" The chubby shopkeeper skillfully led the person to the area where the paper money was placed.
Somewhat surprisingly, the person handling the funeral was a very young girl, with a sorrowful expression on her face, clearly indicating the passing of an elder in her family.
"I'll take as many as you have."
Bai Wei didn't want to seem special, and since it wasn't a special day, she could only say that someone in her family had passed away.
After all, if people knew that she was burning ghost money for herself, a living person, they would think she was crazy and that she was cursing her to die.
He paused for a moment, then added, "I want all the ghost money printed with 'Underworld Bank' on it."
The portly boss hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, "A funeral shouldn't require this much money."
Bai Wei revealed a sorrowful expression and said in a low voice, "My father has passed away. He suffered in the mortal world. I'll be at peace if he can live a prosperous life in the underworld."
"Boss, I have 1.5 million here, all of which I'll use to buy ghost money."
Seeing Bai Wei pull out a string of numbers on her phone, he swallowed hard and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to buy this much?"
Yes.
"We don't have that much stock in the warehouse. I'll get some for you, but it might take a little while."
Bai Wei nodded in understanding. Selling so much ghost money, and needing to find new people to move the goods and hire drivers to transport them, all of these things take time.
"I'll accept anything from the Underworld Bank."
This is the third time I'm reminding you.
The portly boss patted his chest and assured her, "Young lady, don't worry, I guarantee that everything is from the Underworld Bank. Look at the store outside, I can't afford to ruin my own reputation. Besides, we've been here for decades and are the biggest store in the area. Just ask around, and everyone will say that Tianbaotang is honest and trustworthy."
Bai Wei nodded and went out to buy ghost money. She had done her research on where to buy ghost money at the best price, and through online research and offline inquiries, she directly targeted Tianbaotang.
He scanned the QR code with his phone and paid 500,000 yuan directly, saying, "This is the deposit."
⑧ьοΟK·соm
"Received 500,000 yuan via WeChat."
The fat boss's mouth was slightly open, and his whole body felt lightheaded, as if he were dreaming.
I quickly pinched myself with my hand, and the pain felt like I was just waking up.
He flashed a fawning smile: "Young lady, don't worry, I'll take care of this. Let's see when you need it?"
Bai Wei carefully recalled the bizarre nightmares she had intermittently over the past period of time, and couldn't help but shudder.
There is one day left before the strange event occurs. All the ghost money must be burned and offered to her the day before the strange event occurs in order to successfully receive the item.
That's right. Not long ago, she discovered that she had been reborn into a book world and became the biggest female villain in it.
According to the timeline in the book, one day later, all sorts of strange things will happen to the world. The world will be controlled by these strange creatures, who will slaughter humans at will, making humans like rats in the street.
It is extremely difficult for humans to survive.
Ghost money will become the currency for human transactions with the supernatural, while human currency will become a useless pile of waste paper.
So, recalling the plot of the book, she didn't hesitate to sell her house at a low price, and with her savings, she barely managed to scrape together 1.5 million to buy ghost money.
"Six hours later, take me directly to the western suburbs cemetery. I'll be waiting for you there."
Time is running out, we must speed things up.
Before leaving, Bai Wei saw other offerings in other areas, including sedan chairs, paper figures, houses, various clothes and furniture, as well as modern items such as sports cars, villas, and cell phones.
Recalling the descriptions and uses of these items in the book, my heart skipped a beat and I almost forgot about my own needs for clothing, shelter, and transportation. I then generously bought all the offerings from the boss's house.
The fat boss was so happy that he gave Bai Wei a lot of incense. Bai Wei took a bunch of incense and a censer with her, and asked the fat boss to deliver the rest.
Bai Wei left her contact number and address, and went to buy some diesel fuel and a lighter to speed up the burning of the joss paper, as well as some pens and paper.
Bai Wei carefully recalled the rules for burning ghost money, wrote her birth date and time on a piece of paper, and placed it there.
Stepping out of the street specializing in funeral supplies, the scene outside was bustling with people, a stark contrast to the quiet atmosphere inside.
His expression was slightly dazed, as if he were in two different worlds. He wondered how long this liveliness could last. After the strange occurrence, he probably wouldn't see such prosperity again.
Feeling regretful and lost, she hoped that the strange occurrences wouldn't happen and that her transmigration into the book was just a dream.
I don't want to be constantly chased by different ghosts, living a precarious existence, with money becoming worthless and meals going hungry.
That would be terrifying.
She picked up her phone and called a Didi car on the app. After waiting a few minutes, a car stopped in front of her. After checking the license plate to confirm that it was the car she had called, Bai Wei opened the back door and got in.
"Hey! Why is the little girl all alone?"
The driver was a middle-aged man with very short hair. He looked friendly and spoke casually, chatting enthusiastically with anyone he met.
It's not a good thing if someone feels comfortable and relaxed when they first meet him, and gives him all their information.
Instead, it makes people feel easy out of nowhere.
Bai Wei frowned. This person asked so casually and abruptly, making her a little wary. "Yes, someone passed away and I came to buy some funeral supplies. My family and relatives are waiting for me at the western suburbs cemetery to take the things back."
He spoke in a way that was half true and half false, leaving no room for doubt. Those who need to be cautious should be careful; they shouldn't reveal their personal information to just anyone they meet. If the man is a bad guy, the maritime officer himself will be in trouble.

The driver had already started the car and was driving smoothly towards the western suburbs.
He scratched his head, looking embarrassed, feeling that it was saddening to ask such a question after someone's family member had died: "Young lady, I'm so sorry, please don't be sad."
"I often drive in this area, and most of the people I meet are going to the western suburbs cemetery. It's rare to see someone going there alone. It's a remote place, and I only found out about it because I heard that several people have gone missing there."
Upon hearing the driver's words, Bai Wei casually asked, "Are there any reports about how they disappeared?"
As she spoke, she secretly picked up her phone to search for related information, but unfortunately, there was no relevant information at all, so she gripped the phone even tighter.
The driver shook his head helplessly, seemingly concerned about the matter, and lowered his voice slightly: "No, whenever there are related reports or speculations posted on the forum, they are deleted not long afterward. Isn't that strange?"
How can I not be surprised?
Could it be that the authorities are intentionally concealing this matter, or is it related to the strange occurrence?
The fact that they could disappear inexplicably, prevent anyone from publishing related news reports, and delete any published information immediately, all seemed very strange.
Is someone in higher-ups intentionally holding some information?
"That's exactly it, so I wanted to ask if you've heard of it?"
Bai Wei shook her head helplessly: "I only found out because you told me. Did you see those messages before they were deleted?"
When asked this question, the driver's tone became agitated, and he gripped the turntable even tighter, saying, "Yes, I've seen several. Most of the missing persons disappeared alone at the West Suburbs Square. When searchers found the missing persons' clothes and shoes, they were covered in blood, or various human tissues, hair, skin, etc., which were verified to belong to the missing persons. There was even a family that found a missing person's severed leg, which was captured on camera."
Bai Wei narrowed her eyes, put away her phone, and stared intently at the driver. It wasn't that he was handsome, but rather that she couldn't help feeling something was off about the situation. She subconsciously asked, "Didn't the missing persons cause any trouble?"
"Yes! But it's no use! The official said it was an accident, because announced a giant beast came out from deep in the western suburbs cemetery to hunt for food. The beast was very smart and specifically targeted lone humans, who were dragged away and eaten."
This sounded really weird, and Bai Wei felt a chill run down her spine.
For the first time, I doubted whether it was the right decision to go alone, and whether I should ask someone to go with me.
Thinking this, he shook his head, trying to shake the thought off his mind.
"Master, don't scare me. Is it really that scary? If you say that, I won't dare to go."
Bai Wei patted her chest, looking very scared.
"Oh dear, I just couldn't hold it in any longer these days. I just had to talk to someone about it. Just pretend this isn't true, little girl."
The driver chuckled helplessly.
The two talked and time flew by. Soon they arrived at the entrance of the cemetery and stopped.
Bai Wei opened the car door to get some fresh air, said goodbye to the driver, and went out.
The driver smiled, rolled down the window, and said with his head down, "Don't mind what you said earlier, little girl. If you're satisfied with my service, please give me a five-star review!"
Bai Wei nodded haphazardly and gave a smile. The driver quickly drove away, as if fleeing in panic, unlike his previous enthusiasm.
Bai Wei opened her phone and gave the driver a five-star review, and happened to remember his license plate number.
She believed the driver's words were true, but the official statements were open to interpretation.
8BOOK. COM
Wild beasts coming down from the mountains to catch and eat people—I've never heard of anything like this before.
The West Suburbs Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Quanzhou and Xiamen. With economic development, many mountains and fields have been developed, and people from surrounding villages and towns have moved their graves here to give their ancestors a peaceful place.
Bai Wei saw a three-meter-high, flat white gate in front of her, with the road winding directly into the interior. Several people were going in and out. She followed the flow of people in, holding incense in her hand. Most people thought she was offering incense to a deceased person.
To obtain ghost money during a supernatural event, there are a few rules:
[The ghost money must be marked with "Bank of the Underworld"]
Before burning paper money for the deceased, one should offer three sticks of incense in front of their portrait.
[It only works if you burn it on yourself before the strange event occurs.]
[One must write one's birth date and time on a piece of paper and burn it along with ghost money as a way to indicate whose property it is.]
So she went to a place where paper money for deceased family members was burned. The portrait of the deceased was placed in front of her, and an incense burner was placed under the incense burner. After taking out the incense and lighting it, she first bowed three times to her own portrait, and then inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner. Soon, the smoke was swirling around.
After several incense sticks had burned out, the vehicle carrying the paper money for the dead finally arrived.
A row of cars was lined up in a rather impressive fashion, waiting on the side. The driver of one of the cars got out. What should be done next?
Bai Wei instructed them to pour all the ghost money and offerings into the area where the offerings were being burned.
The driver nodded and quickly joined the others to pour all the ghost money and offerings from the vehicles into the burning offering area. After pouring, Bai Wei checked the authenticity of the ghost money. Most of them were brightly colored and well-made, with the words "Heaven and Earth Bank" written on them. After verifying the goods, the remaining one million was paid off.
The cemetery was eerily desolate; the hilltop was bare, and countless crows circled in the sky, their hoarse cries sending chills down one's spine.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the drivers quickly and orderly left the place of trouble.
Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything was in place.
She quickly took out the diesel fuel she had prepared earlier and poured it onto the offerings. The offerings were then lit and quickly burst into flames. Bai Wei hurriedly threw the portrait and birth date into the offerings, and they immediately caught fire.
As the fire raged, Bai Wei quickly returned the goods, cleaned up the mess, and retreated far away.
The sun set and the moon rose, illuminating the entire mountaintop, making it appear eerie. The joss paper burned for a long time before finally going out.
Bai Wei, who had been sitting to one side, saw the last spark extinguished, stood up, patted the dust off her clothes, and quickened her pace down the mountain.
The road was deserted. When she arrived at the door, there was only a middle-aged man sitting outside. He glanced at her but didn't ask anything. He stood up and went into the house behind him. His hoarse voice drifted over: "Young lady, it's late. You should go home quickly and not worry your family."
He spoke caring words to the stranger and waited for her to come out before going inside, clearly waiting for her. Bai Wei felt a warmth in her heart.
The room was brightly lit, and through the large windows you could see shelves filled with various paper money and offerings for the dead. A QR code for payment was posted on the outside wall, indicating that the gatekeeper was earning extra money.
However, he offered a word of advice: "Uncle, everyone is paying respects to their families today. Why not burn more paper money for your ancestors so they can have a better time in the afterlife?"
Although he left out such a sentence, he didn't dare to tell the other person. He thought it better to burn it for himself, otherwise the other person would definitely call him crazy.
The arrival of the supernatural is not only due to ghosts coming to the human world, but also to the souls of some of the dead lingering around their own graves.
People with ancestors will receive a certain degree of protection.
⑧вОOK.com

To receive ancestral protection, two conditions must be met: first, the person must be near the grave; second, they must be a person with a blood relationship to the ancestors.
Burning offerings for one's ancestors in order to live a better life in the future is also a way of saving money for oneself.
This method doesn't apply to Bai Wei, since she is an orphan who was adopted by her foster parents.
They died in a car accident after they grew up. Although they were buried here, they were not related by blood, so she could not receive any protection. However, she still burned a lot of paper money and offerings for them, so that their ghosts would live a good life in the human world.
The gatekeeper watched Bai Wei's departing figure and thought that this girl was very filial, and that she would even come to pay her respects. There weren't many young people like her anymore.
Thinking about how long it had been since I visited my deceased grandparents and parents, I felt a pang of longing, so I took a large amount of paper money and offerings to sweep their graves.
The gatekeeper had no idea how much benefit his words of concern would bring him.
Bai Wei walked out of the gate of the western suburban cemetery. It was already eight o'clock, and there was not a soul in sight.
The two rows of trees were very tall, blocking out the moonlight. The leaves swayed in the wind, and a cool breeze swept over us.
My body trembled uncontrollably, my heart pounded, and I looked around, fear filling my heart. Then I took a step back, and the moonlight shone on me, which calmed me down a little.
I quickly grabbed my phone and called a Didi (ride-hailing service), hoping the other party would arrive soon.
However, this place is far from the city center and very few people visit, especially at night, so it's not easy to catch a ride.
It would take another half hour for the car to arrive here. Bai Wei originally wanted to go back and chat with the gatekeeper, so that she would have someone to talk to and not feel uneasy.
I turned around and looked, and thought, "Forget it!"
They've already closed the door and turned off the lights inside; I couldn't possibly disturb them.
Fortunately, knowing there was still a living person on the mountain prevented people from being afraid.
Taking deep breaths to try and dispel the fear in my heart, every second felt like an eternity.
The sound of wheels came from afar, quite distinct in the darkness.
Bai Wei relaxed completely, staring at the intersection where two beams of light shone out. After a short while, a car appeared, turned the corner, and came to a steady stop in front of her.
I shone my phone light on the license plate and realized, oh, it was someone I knew.
It turned out to be the driver who brought her here this morning, so she lowered her guard.
I opened the car door and stepped inside, habitually observing the environment. It was the same as before, with no changes.
There were no lights inside, making it somewhat dim. The uncle turned his head and stared at him. His eyes seemed particularly bright in the darkness, which startled him. He pulled back the foot he had stepped inside and squatted down, taking a few steps back.
Something felt off. When we met in the morning, the uncle was very talkative, but he didn't say a word when we met, especially since we were acquaintances. It felt even more strange.
Bai Wei realized she was overthinking things. The strange event hadn't even occurred yet, so how could it appear prematurely?
I shone my phone at the man, and a pale face appeared before my eyes. I almost dropped the phone, but quickly grabbed it and took a step back. I looked down and saw that there was no one there.
It's a ghost, it really is a ghost!
The middle-aged man's hoarse voice rang out: "Why aren't you getting on the bus, young lady?"
Bai Wei's heart pounded. It couldn't be what she thought, could it?
He swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he said, "Uncle, I'm so sorry! Could you wait a moment? My parents haven't arrived yet; they're still at the cemetery paying their respects. They might not be here for a while. Could you wait for them?"
Feeling uneasy, he added, "Don't worry, I'll pay a little more."
⑧BoOk. сΟм
The money must be ghost money, which she wouldn't receive until after midnight, not something she could have now.
If she reaches her destination without giving him ghost money, the strange creatures in front of her will definitely not let her go.
Thinking of this, a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, freezing me in place.
It's 11:30 now, and there's still an hour and a half until the strange thing happens. It won't take that long to get home, so let's delay as long as we can.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, reminding her of what the uncle had told her before.
Many people who came out alone mysteriously disappeared in the cemetery, and only their clothes and bloodstains were found.
It shouldn't be that they were eaten by wild beasts as the official statement says, but rather eaten by something strange.
The strange event occurred ahead of schedule, and someone in higher-ups knew about it beforehand, so they blocked the news in advance to avoid causing panic.
The strange occurrences all began at 1 a.m., leaving me feeling utterly disheartened.
His breathing was heavy, but nothing could be seen inside.
Bai Wei knew she couldn't escape; pretending not to hitch a ride was impossible, and the strange entity wouldn't let her go either.
He calmly stepped into the car, slammed the door shut, and took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Uncle, is this alright?"
Observing the driver's actions, he sat steadily in the seat, his head turned 180 degrees like a pretzel, as if his whole body had turned around, looking straight at her.
Such a bizarre scene would terrify anyone with a weak heart.
The middle-aged man's voice was icy cold, devoid of any human warmth: "Fine, but what price are you prepared to pay?"
He looked Bai Wei up and down: "One leg, one arm, one eye, or one ear?"
The middle-aged man said to himself, "I think your ears are the most tender. If you don't give me the ghost money later, I'll use your two ears to pay off the debt."
It stretched its head out very long, blew a breath close to his ear, and then pulled its big head back in.
Bai Wei's hands were trembling, a feeling more terrifying than an eternity. She wished she could run out the door and get as far away from the car as possible.
With his back pressed against the chair and his hands gripping his clothes tightly, he kept reminding himself not to be afraid that the other party was just a low-level monster who could speak politely like a human. If it were a high-level monster, it could do whatever it wanted to him if it didn't please him.
Most low-level supernatural occurrences have no rules. The only way to get someone to drive you is to offer a replacement body part such as a hand, foot, or organ if you don't have ghost money to pay for it.
The strange event hasn't even occurred yet, and even these little ghosts are out making money, which shows how poor ghosts are.
It seems the other person was waiting with her in order to earn a small tip.
As she stared at her phone, the seconds ticked by. Half an hour later, Bai Wei, still holding her phone, saw a face close to hers, its mouth opening and closing, coldly asking, "When are your parents arriving?"
"I'll make a call and ask."
Bai Wei made excuses, picked up her phone and made a call, saying, "Mom, when are you arriving? I've been waiting for half an hour. Hurry up and come over, you're making him anxious. If I didn't know Uncle, he wouldn't have waited this long."
"Okay! Come over quickly, it's late now, I need to go home and sleep, I have school tomorrow."
...
After hanging up the phone, she lingered for a moment, glancing at the clock at 12:10.
⑻ВОоК． Cом

The ghostly face in front of her hadn't left, watching her every move as if a knife was hanging over her head, ready to strike if she made the wrong move.
"Wait 10 more minutes, it will be here in 10 minutes."
"That would be best, otherwise... hehe..." The ghostly uncle chuckled, sending chills down Bai Wei's spine. After spending several tens of minutes with him, she gradually adjusted to the terrifying scene and didn't feel so scared anymore.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
12:20
Before the Ghost Uncle could urge her to make a move, Bai Wei picked up her phone and dialed again, her tone and expression quite agitated and angry, even angrier than the Ghost Uncle. The Ghost Uncle stopped preparing to make a move and stared blankly at Bai Wei's impressive performance.
"Mom, why haven't you come yet? We've been waiting for so long. I need to go home and sleep. I can't wait any longer, not even an hour..."
I secretly glanced at Uncle Ghost and saw that his expression had indeed become very serious, even more terrifying than before.
Swallowing hard, he wanted to end the call quickly: "No, you guys find your own car to go back. I'm going back first. Okay, I'll hang up now."
Bai Wei was furious, extremely helpless, and actually nervous. She gripped her clothes tightly with one hand and tentatively said, "Uncle, you heard it too, my mom and the others don't want to go back right now. Please take me back first!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then realized something, his mouth stretched to his ears, revealing sharp, white teeth, and his eyes widened like copper bells: "You made me wait so long, and all you said was that your mother wasn't coming back? Are you kidding me? Your parents are clearly not here. Are you lying to me, or are you saying you have no money and are trying to stall for time to escape?"
Bai Wei smelled the fishy stench and desperately leaned her head back, pressing her body tightly against the seat, wishing she could grow wings and fly away. Her heart was pounding: "Uncle, we know each other, after all. You brought me here this morning, and I paid you right away."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ghost paused for a moment, then thought back carefully, and it seemed like such a thing had happened.
Most of his anger was suppressed, but a pair of sharp, gray claws were revealed as he slowly approached, gleaming with a cold light: "You made me wait so long, how do you plan to compensate? Two ears plus a leg."
Uncle Gui's intention was to raise the price.
Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief. At least the two knew each other before the uncle became a ghost, and he had only been a ghost for less than a day. His ghostly nature had not completely suppressed his rationality, and he had not become so irritable. It was possible to negotiate terms.
12:30.
The eeriness is about to descend; there's only half an hour left to get back to the rented room.
Without further ado, he quickly promised, "I'll pay you double if you take me home."
Upon hearing Bai Wei's assurance, the ghost uncle pulled his neck back, turned it 180 degrees, and grinned eerily: "Very good, very good, I want 300 ghost coins."
It's as if the entire Baiwei is his food.
The old man turned his head and started driving.
Bai Wei slumped in the back seat, gasping for fresh air. She was dehydrated, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, all from the cold sweat she had been terrified of.
This was the first real ghost she had ever encountered in her life; she never imagined ghosts could be so terrifying.
His body made incredible movements; his appearance was pale and terrifying, and even his voice was extremely hoarse and chilling.
⑧bOOK． сOм
However, compared to the eeriness in dreams, the appearance of other higher-level eeriness is even more terrifying.
It seems I still need to adapt so that I won't be so frightened by the bizarre in the future that it will hinder my ability to think calmly.
They soon arrived at Yunhu Residential Area, where she rented a place, and parked at the entrance of the residential area.
The ghost uncle turned his head 180 degrees and smiled eerily: "Dear car rental customer, we have arrived at your requested location. Please pay 300 ghost coins."
Bai Wei picked up her phone and saw that there were only 10 seconds left until 1 a.m.
Opening the car door, the world outside seemed to be submerged in ink; the visible lights were instantly extinguished, leaving only thick darkness.
Just as it was one o'clock, the ghost uncle couldn't wait to reach out and grab Bai Wei's ear: "Hehe! If you don't have ghost money, then use your ears and legs to pay for it."
A ghostly hand emerged from the darkness, its claws incredibly sharp and carrying a mysterious, heavy aura. Holding two cards, it approached through the window: "These are bank cards issued by the Underworld Bank. Please accept them, dear customer. Rest assured, these cards are bound to your birth date and time, and no one can steal them. You can keep them with your mind, and you can also withdraw various amounts of underworld currency from the bank card."
Bai Wei mustered her courage and took the bank card, touching the ghostly hand; it felt incredibly cold.
Startled, I quickly withdrew my hand and breathed a sigh of relief once the bank card was in my hand.
The ghostly hand quickly retracted and disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Wei held two bank cards. One was issued by the Underworld Bank and contained ghost money with a string of numbers written on it... too many to count.
Meanwhile, on another card, which bore the words "offerings," a beam of light appeared, and rows of gray cards floated in mid-air, representing both ancient and modern clothing, housing, and transportation.
Bai Wei's face lit up with surprise as she shoved the card in her hand at the ghost uncle: "Who said I have no money? Here it is."
The ghost uncle was completely stunned, his eyes fixed on the Heaven and Earth Bank Card, which exuded a thick aura of the underworld, making him both love and hate it.
He loved the scent emanating from it, but hated that the bank card wasn't his.
Bai Wei dared not anger the ghost uncle, so she took out 300 ghost coins from the ghost card and handed them to him.
He took out another hundred ghost coins and waved them in front of the ghost uncle: "If you tell me how you died, these 100 ghost coins are yours."
The ghost uncle's eyes widened, he stared at the ghost money, and nodded with his head twisted like a pretzel.
"At 3 p.m. today, as usual, I went to the Daxiao Cinema to pick up a customer. After the customer got into the car, a red piece of paper suddenly appeared in my hand with a long list of rules written on it."
"At first I didn't know what it was. One of the rules was that I couldn't look back. But when I looked up and saw a pale face with bloody tears streaming from its eyes in the rearview mirror, I was terrified. I thought the other person was sick, so I quickly turned around to ask what was wrong."
As the old man spoke, his body trembled, and his entire body returned to its appearance before he was alive, only slightly pale. He still couldn't help but feel afraid when he thought about what had happened before.
"But I didn't expect that customer to open his mouth so wide that he bit my neck off in one go."
He spoke with great emotion, staring intently at Bai Wei: "Do you know? My neck was in so much pain that I couldn't even scream. When I came to my senses, I realized that my head and body had separated."
⑧bOOK． сOм

The driver continued, "At that time, I lost consciousness. When I came to my senses, my body was floating in mid-air. I watched helplessly as the customer ate my body piece by piece."
"That's terrifying! That's terrifying!"
"He's a devil, no, a ghost, a monster on a higher level than me."
Uncle Ghost spoke with unwavering conviction, his body trembling incessantly—the fear of the weak against the strong, the all-encompassing suppression of the powerful.
Seeing how scared the ghost uncle was, Bai Wei quickly changed the subject: "Do you know about the strange power division?"
The old man, still immersed in fear, snapped out of his daze upon hearing this. He seemed to have forgotten his earlier terror: "Of course I know. From lowest to highest, they are nine levels: F, E, d, c, b, A, S, SS, and SSS."
"I also know that the lower the level of the supernatural being, the simpler and more restrictive the conditions for killing someone are, while the higher the level, the more supernatural the being, and the more conditions and fewer restrictions there are for killing someone."
"Alright, stop asking me. I'm leaving now. Hurry up and give me the ghost money."
The ghost uncle seemed annoyed by the questions. Someone on his phone called him to hurry up and take the order. Nothing was more important than earning ghost money.
Bai Wei didn't ask any more questions. She handed the silver coins in her hand to Uncle Ghost, opened the door and got out of the car. Uncle Ghost drove quickly away, disappearing into the thick darkness.
There was no electricity, and everything was pitch black. Even my old phone was unusable because it had run out of power, so I threw it away.
When the apocalypse arrived and something bizarre happened, all electricity became unusable, and the technology people relied on for survival regressed to the agricultural era.
We cannot re-enter the communication age without a variety of modern offerings.
Bai Wei thought of the offerings, summoned the offering cards, and selected a cell phone and a flashlight card from them. She tore them into pieces, turning them into a cell phone and a flashlight. The flashlight was just like a modern one; when turned on, it would provide light and illuminate the area in front of her.
The phone in my hand is no different from any other phone I use, except that its functions are relatively simple.
There aren't many apps or games to play; it only has a contacts list where you can add other people's phone numbers or a chat application—it's very simple.
Bai Wei put away her phone, took a flashlight, and entered the residential area to apartment number one on the third floor of building two. It was also very dark inside. She took a shower and changed her clothes by the light of the flashlight, went to the kitchen to get some bread for dinner, ate a quick and easy meal, and then hurried back to her room.
Busy from morning till dawn, and having to concentrate on dealing with the eerie things on the way, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed.
She slept soundly that night, while some people in the neighborhood were suffering terribly.
Most people encountered the strange, which descended silently, catching humanity off guard. Some died silently in their sleep, while others encountered powerful strange beings and could not escape death.
Today is a day of reshuffling after the strange occurrences.
When everyone wakes up from their sleep, they will find that the world has undergone earth-shattering changes.
Only by proactively adapting to the new world can we survive better.

Bai Wei was fast asleep, and the bedroom door was not closed when she was woken up by a loud doorbell.
Once she was fully awake, Bai Wei felt a little irritable. She picked up her phone from beside the bed and saw that it was already 9 a.m. Someone had been ringing the doorbell so early in the morning.
He quickly stood up and cautiously approached the door.
Knowing that the strange occurrences would cause the world to change drastically, she knew she had to be vigilant. Opening the door could lead her into a ghostly realm and make her a meal for the ghosts, which was extremely dangerous. Therefore, she always put her life first and never opened the door rashly.
Bai Wei leaned against the door, her eyes peering through the peephole at a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He had dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, and bloodstains on his body. He seemed agitated, repeatedly ringing the doorbell without stopping.
It seemed that what she encountered was not strange. Bai Wei opened the inner door but did not open the outer security door.
Seeing Bai Wei breathe a sigh of relief, the young man quickly asked, "Little sister, are you alright?"
Bai Wei flinched, but a wary look appeared on her face as she took a step back: "Is the red stuff on you blood?"
The young man, Zhou Yu, looked very unwell and said seriously, "Little sister, don't be afraid. My name is Zhou Yu. I'm just here to tell you not to go out. There are ghosts outside, and it's very chaotic. They're killing people everywhere. Many people have died on this floor. Only the two of us are still alive on this floor."
"If you have no choice but to come out, be careful not to wander around, otherwise you will encounter ghosts and you will not be able to escape. The only way to survive is to follow their instructions."
"I encountered a ghost in my room at 1 a.m. before, and then encountered a ghost again in the stairwell when I came out of the room. I barely escaped and was afraid of encountering a ghost again when I went downstairs, so I dared not go down and could only go back the way I came."
His words carried a sense of relief mixed with lingering fear.
Bai Wei could tell from the information revealed in his words that the other party had survived two bizarre instances, which meant that the other party was not stupid but quite smart. The fact that he was willing to risk entering the bizarre instances again to inform her showed that Zhou Yu still retained a shred of kindness.
Did you call the police?
Zhou Yu said with a sliver of hope, "With the phone in this state, we can't make calls, so we can't call the police. We'll probably have to rely on ourselves unless the outside world notices something's wrong here and sends someone over."
Bai Wei's words shattered his illusions: "But what if people outside encounter ghosts just like us?"
"According to Zhou Yu, you encountered a ghost at one o'clock in the morning. It's now past nine o'clock. People should be at work or school. If their workplaces and friends find that no one is there, they should have already contacted them. Someone should have come. It's not like there's no news at all. Listen, isn't it very quiet outside?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's face turned deathly pale, and her body swayed precariously. Recalling the terrifying ghosts she had encountered, her body trembled: "Then, what should we do? What has happened to this world? How did it become like this?"
Unable to accept the reality, Zhou Yu quickly ran to the window and looked outside. The once bustling city had become unusually quiet; not a single bird chirped, and there were no cars or pedestrians in the underground parking lot.
He suddenly collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself.
Bai Wei sighed. The other party was very smart and brave to survive the terrifying and bizarre events they faced. But knowing that the whole world would be like this afterward, anyone would find it unbearable. The peaceful society of the past is gone forever.
From now on, everyone will live in constant fear, as death could come at any time. No one can escape human or ghostly calamities.

Bai Wei didn't know how to comfort Zhou Yu. Even when she herself faced such a world for the first time, she felt powerless and afraid.
If I hadn't prepared in advance, I probably wouldn't have fared much better than him.
Considering that there were only two of them on the entire floor, and that the person wasn't a bad one, he kindly reminded them, "There's no electricity right now, and we can't leave this building immediately. The most important thing is food and water. Only with food and water can we make the next move."
Zhou Yu, who had been sitting blankly on the ground, slowly regained focus in his eyes.
Seeing that he still didn't move, Bai Wei patiently continued to persuade him: "Even if the world has changed, people still have to live."
"Think about your family and friends, aren't they waiting for you to come back and rescue them?"
As soon as Zhou Yu heard her family's voice, she got up from the ground. The sky outside was different from usual at 9 o'clock. Although the sky was bright, it had an eerie atmosphere.
He took a few steps back, turned around, and looked at Bai Wei, who was even younger than him, still trying to persuade him. He felt a little embarrassed: "Thank you! You're right. I should go home to visit my family, or find a way to contact them, since I'm working away from home alone."
His fist clenched, his expression growing increasingly resolute: "Whether I live or die, I need an answer. I survived those ghosts, and I believe I can escape from other ghosts as well."
Bai Wei nodded with relief. At least this person's fighting spirit had been aroused, and he wouldn't die easily.
"You're right, at least we can continue to live and find out why the world has become the way it is?"
Bai Wei said something encouraging and reached out to close the door.
Seeing that Bai Wei was about to close the door, Zhou Yu ran over to stop her, saying, "Wait, little sister."
Bai Wei paused in closing the door, and asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
"I've encountered ghosts twice, and I want to tell you about my experiences so you can be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wei became interested. According to the description in the novel, if you encounter a ghost and enter the ghost's realm instance, you will receive the instance's rewards if you survive and complete the mission. The amount of the rewards will be calculated based on your performance and completion level in the instance.
Sure enough, she understood it perfectly, and the two instances Zhou Yu encountered were named "Beautiful Family" and "Infinite Stairs".
You receive 50 Ghost Coins in the Happy Family area. And 2 Spirit Points in the Infinite Stairs area.
Bai Wei, who has more money than she can spend, has absolutely no interest in him.
He immediately became interested in Bai Wei, who was improving her abilities.
"How do you feel after increasing your mental strength by two points?"
Recalling how she felt at the time, Zhou Yu rested one hand on her chin and said, "I felt very clear-headed and had a better resistance to the strange contamination."
Bai Wei's eyes lit up. She took a step forward, pressed herself tightly against the iron gate, and grabbed the railing with both hands: "Really?"
"Yes, it's a pity we only got 2 points. If we could get more, that would be great. Then we wouldn't get contaminated if we accidentally entered a dungeon in the future."
Hearing Zhou Yu's face full of regret and disappointment, Bai Wei was speechless: She thought she could get an improvement in mental strength. There are cabbages everywhere, and you can get them in every dungeon!
As we know from this novel, very few instances can provide an improvement in mental strength, and obtaining one depends on luck and communication with them.
It is clear that achieving an improvement in mental strength is no easy feat.
Zhou Yu looked really smug, so we should hurry up and send him to collect supplies so he wouldn't get in our way.
He urged, "Being able to gain physical enhancements isn't something you can do in all dungeons. And the first dungeon you just went through only gave you 50 Nether Coins, which shows that not every dungeon offers physical enhancements."
Zhou Yu's enthusiasm was extinguished, and she said with deep regret, "Alas, you are right, I was too greedy."

"I need to pack my things."
"Yes, I need to go check what food and drink I have at home too." Zhou Yu nodded and left quickly. His clothes were dirty and covered in sticky bloodstains, and his head was a mess like a honeycomb, making him very uncomfortable. He quickly changed his clothes.
Bai Wei closed the door, changed her clothes, went to the bathroom vanity, picked up her toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste onto it, and turned on the tap to get water.
A faint fishy smell wafted over, and the water in the cup slowly turned red. The smell grew stronger, making one want to vomit. I quickly turned off the tap, poured out the water, and an eyeball rolled out from under the cup. It was bloodshot and mixed with hair, looking terrifying, as if the eye was staring at me.
Bai Wei stumbled backward, slamming against the wall with a thud.
Not only was there no electricity, but the water from the tap was also unusable, which was terrifying and made my body tremble.
What came to mind?
I hurried to the stove and reached out to turn on the gas stove, but it wouldn't light no matter how many times I tried.
Bai Wei's heart sank. She hadn't expected such a strange occurrence, which not only damaged the water and electricity, but also rendered the gas stove unable to cook anything.
Go check the available food right now. It's all gathered together: three buckets of instant noodles, three bags of bread, five bottles of milk, and three bottles of mineral water. You'll only be able to eat until you look terrible after a few days.
Bai Wei gritted her teeth, collected them, put them in her backpack, and took along papers and other necessities for going out.
She couldn't wait any longer. The bizarre dungeon wasn't static; people who entered the dungeon grew stronger, and the monsters that kept eating people also grew stronger.
If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave at all.
We must leave and try to enter the Infinite Staircase dungeon. With Zhou Yu's guide, we have an extra layer of protection. This way, we can accumulate experience, get rewards, and improve our abilities.
Bai Wei had just finished thinking about what she needed to do next when the doorbell rang. She answered slowly and deliberately.
Think about who else might come looking for her. It can't be Zhou Yu, can it?
I put my backpack on the sofa, approached the door and reached out to open it, paused for a few seconds and subconsciously looked through the peephole to see who it was.
You won't be surprised if you don't look, because once you do, you'll be shocked.
A deliveryman dressed in a food delivery uniform looks no different from any other normal person.
The delivery guy was baring his teeth, which were so sharp they didn't look like a normal person's at all.
Bai Wei's vigilance was immediately aroused. The whole world was strangely descending. How could an ordinary person still be delivering food?
This is definitely not normal. Could the other party be a ghost?
Holding my breath, my palms sweating, my steps becoming lighter, I backed away.
I was carrying a bag and wanted to find a place to hide, waiting for the delivery guy to leave before coming out.
The delivery guy seemed to know his prey was hiding, so he rang the doorbell more and more urgently, his eyes widened, and the blood vessels in them became more prominent.
"Miss inside, your takeout has arrived. Please come out and pick it up."
"Come out and take it away right now, come out and take it away right now."
I tried several times, but there was no response from inside.
The delivery guy grew impatient, the doorbell rang incessantly, and Bai Wei's heart raced.

Bai Wei's heart rate quickened, and she could almost hear the sound of her heartbeat, which mingled with the ringing of the bell.
Bai Wei didn't expect herself to be so scared. She quickened her pace, wanting to hide under the bed in the room.
After walking a few steps forward to the door of the room, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if my heart was about to explode. I couldn't breathe properly, so I quickly grabbed the door and almost fell to the ground.
The demonic ringing continued to blast in her ears. Bai Wei took a step forward, her head spinning, and her consciousness momentarily froze in the darkness.
My body jolted, and I fell backward, crashing to the ground with a thud. Instantly, I snapped back to reality, my heartbeat slowed a little, and the annoying ringing seemed to subside.
What comes to mind?
A cold sweat broke out on her back. She had just been contaminated, and the source of the contamination was that terrifying ringtone, which affected her mind and heartbeat.
Was it because I fell that I regained consciousness, and that the impact on me weakened?
Fortunately, the fall didn't hurt too much.
I reached out and tentatively pinched the softest part of my waist, and it hurt so much that I twitched.
The terrifying ringing still affected me the same way; I covered my ears, but the ringing persisted.
Nothing I did worked. I stood up, picked up my backpack from the ground, and took another step into the room. My heart skipped a beat.
So he quickened his pace and took two more steps, just like before, past the door and into the room, still somewhat dazed.
Startled, he quickly stepped back, looking at the door with lingering fear.
Suddenly realized, he patted his chest and said, "So that's how it is. The doorbell affects people based on their distance from the door. The farther away you are, the more contaminated you become."
It was a bit late to think about this, and my head felt slightly swollen and heavy, so I tapped my head to clear my head.
Gritting his teeth, since he couldn't leave and hide, waiting for the ghost to leave on its own was unrealistic. He might as well face it himself, adapt to the situation, and find a way to survive and clear the level to remove the pollution.
Upon entering the lobby, I placed my backpack back on the sofa.
She went straight to open the door, and there stood a normal-looking person, who impatiently handed Bai Wei the outside of his bag: "Why are you so slow? You're wasting my time making money."
Bai Wei looked down at the ticket, which said that a serving of pasta cost 20 yuan. Everything seemed normal.
"You should also consider the place you're sending it to, shouldn't you?"
"What's wrong with it? I always deliver to the address above listed, which is your room number. I've been delivering food for so many years and I've never made a mistake."
"I didn't order takeout. Look at the receipt and see whose name is on it before you speak." Bai Wei said with a gloomy face, pointing her slender fingers at the receipt still hanging on the takeout delivery slip.
The delivery driver was taken aback. He looked down and saw that there was no name on the page.
The delivery guy, who had initially appeared normal and showed no signs of distress, suddenly raised his head with a grim expression. His face turned a terrifying gray-black, and he grinned, saying, "What I said is yours, and if you can't pay me, I'll eat you up."
If they won't accept something, you have to use force; ghosts just don't reason.
Realizing that the delivery ghost was more formidable than the driver ghost she had encountered the first time, she thought she could get rid of the delivery ghost after finding a loophole, but it was clear that the delivery ghost had no intention of letting her go.
With his lips pressed tightly together, having witnessed the driving ghost, he wasn't so afraid of the delivery ghost. He suppressed his wildly beating heart, took out twenty ghost coins from his ghost card, and handed them to the delivery ghost: "Who said I don't have money?"
The delivery ghost, its mouth agape, was taken aback. It had expected to taste human flesh as usual, but the girl in front of it produced twenty pieces of ghost money, something that was least likely to appear on a human in the early stages of life.
With a look of resentment mixed with a strange smile, she said, "Heh! So you also got it through a weird dungeon. You're quite something, little girl."
He reached out and demanded twenty ghost coins.
8ВооＫ·coм
Seeing that his smile didn't reach his eyes, Bai Wei took back the ghost money she had handed over.
The ghost, disappointed, glared with bloodshot eyes: "What? Don't want to pay with ghost money?"
Bai Wei didn't retreat a single step, but her hands and feet were sweating profusely. She had a guess and just wanted to verify it. After all, it concerned her own life, so she couldn't be careless. Many people would be killed by the devil's literary inquisition and wouldn't even know how they died.
"Who said I wouldn't give it to you? You just haven't made yourself clear yet?"
Isn't it clear already?
"Heh! It's very clear. If I give you the money and take the takeout, and you turn around and say the takeout isn't mine, wouldn't I be considered to have triggered the murder rule, and you could then decide my fate?"
The delivery ghost was stunned, and enraged that his thoughts had been seen through: "Although I am a ghost, I am a ghost with integrity. Doing that would make me, a ghost, lose all my dignity."
He handed the takeout to me, saying, "Your name is on it, so you can rest assured now."
Bai Wei looked at the receipt on the takeout order; sure enough, a serving of pasta cost twenty yuan, with the name Bai Wei appearing below.
Take it without worry and toss the twenty ghost coins to the delivery ghost.
Then he saw new words on the ticket: "Eating this will boost your stamina a little." His eyes lit up, and without thinking of anything else, he was about to close the door.
In the brief moment of her relaxation, a voice suddenly rang out: "What's your name?"
Bai Wei subconsciously replied, "Bai... Bai..."
She looked up abruptly and saw that the delivery ghost was still there, its mouth wide open, drooling, its neck stretched out as if it was about to swallow her whole if she said its name.
Startled, I fell to the ground, the takeout food in my hand rolled away, and it took me several steps to come to my senses, my face pale.
She realized that revealing her real name would result in her being eaten, and that the delivery ghost was taking the opportunity to get revenge on her. She thought to herself, how could the delivery ghost let her go so easily? It turned out that the trap had been set long ago.
What if she gave a false name?
"My name is White Rose."
The delivery guy had barely finished speaking when he looked smug.
Suddenly his body paused, then trembled, as if he had taken the wrong medicine. His body swayed strangely, and with each sway, his body shrank a size.
Strands of black mist emerged from the delivery ghost, passing through Bai Wei's body, and felt extremely cold.
Bai Wei got up and retreated far away.
They didn't even care that the takeout had rolled to the side.
The delivery guy stretched out his long hand, pleading, "Little girl, please help me, please!"
"Save you?"
Bai Wei chuckled. She had been a little scared just now, but even she felt afraid when faced with something strange. Her courage grew as she said, "You're going to kill me. How am I supposed to save you?"
Only someone with a stupid mind would try to save a ghost.
The delivery ghost swayed even more violently, its expression one of extreme terror: "Little girl, you're a good person, you'll definitely save me, a homeless person."
Bai Wei watched the show with an air of composure, unmoved in the slightest: "You still treat me like a fool even now. Indeed, the devil is the most insidious and cunning."
The delivery ghost froze, its body swayed, and it shrank several sizes. Startled, it came to its senses and knelt on the ground, looking much more real: "Please save me, I don't want my soul to be scattered."

I don't want my soul to be scattered.
Bai Wei only realized then that ghosts could also die, unlike the invincible characters in novels. Having weaknesses was a good thing, making it easier to deal with ghosts in the future.
"You don't want your soul to be scattered, and I don't want to die either. What do you suggest I do?"
Bai Wei's eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something. She looked at the delivery guy with a half-smile.
The delivery ghost felt extremely wronged, and its body shrank even further. It was so frightened that it dared not move: "I won't come back after you save me."
"I'm afraid that if I save you, you'll turn around and bite me. You're unpredictable." Bai Wei spread her hands, indicating that she wanted to save you, but she was also helpless.
The delivery ghost had a gloomy face. No ghost wanted to put any leverage over a person; everyone's fate was not in the ghost's hands.
But if things continue like this, there will only be one way out: death.
Faced with death, they either entrust their fate to humans as a bargaining chip, allowing themselves to be manipulated and live on.
The battle between heaven and man is raging.
Seeing that the delivery ghost didn't speak, Bai Wei wasn't worried at all. She picked up the delivery that had fallen on the ground, opened the lid, and found that it was intact, indicating that it had been packaged very securely.
He was eating pasta with chopsticks, looking very relaxed.
As long as you're not in a hurry, those who are in a hurry are just ghosts; let's see who can outlast whom.
The delivery ghost was surprised that this little girl wasn't afraid of him at all; any other human would have been trembling with fear long ago.
We've run into a tough opponent today.
He wanted to live his ghostly life. He had just arrived in this wonderful world, how could he let his young ghostly life end like this?
He grinned and said, "I'm willing to sign an equal contract with you and protect you by my side."
This is his biggest concession; he will lose his freedom, and the two sides are equals, not the ghost having the upper hand.
Bai Wei stopped eating her noodles, completely unmoved by the ghost's nonsense, adhering to the principle of equality and contract.
Oh!
That's wishful thinking.
An equal contract means that both parties are equal. If you want to exorcise a ghost and have it do things for you, you have to pay a higher price. The other party also has a reason to refuse. Whether you are willing or not is just a matter of the ghost's will.
If you encounter danger and ask the delivery ghost to save you, it might outwardly comply but inwardly refuse to help, with potentially disastrous consequences.
"I don't need a disobedient ghost."
Don't go too far.
The delivery guy grinned, expressing his dissatisfaction.
You can continue.
Upon hearing this, the delivery guy was so angry he was practically fuming, wishing he could pounce on Bai Wei and tear that wretched brat to pieces!
Unfortunately, he was now at a disadvantage and had no right to bargain. Being pragmatic, he felt his body shrinking to half its original size and knew he couldn't continue like this, or his strength would weaken.
8Воок. COM
He quickly knelt on the ground, his voice weakening as he pleaded, "I am willing to become your slave. We can sign a master-servant contract. I am the slave, and you are the master."
After speaking, he formed a hand seal, and a piece of paper appeared from between his hands, carrying a thick black aura, and was presented to Bai Wei.
Bai Wei wasn't afraid of the other party's underhanded tactics. Now that the other party was on the verge of death, anyone who dared to challenge the rules would only face certain death.
I took the black paper; it felt very cold to the touch, and lines of text appeared on it.
It means that the delivery ghost is willing to sign a master-servant contract with Bai Wei. She is the master and the delivery ghost is the servant. Every time she is used, she must give Bai Wei 50 ghost coins as a reward. Otherwise, she will use any part of her master's body as a reward for being used.
Bai Wei frowned, feeling that something was still missing.
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table next to him, as if tapping on the heart of the delivery guy.
The wait was getting impatient, and the ghostly aura around the parents was dissipating. The delivery ghost urged anxiously, "It's just a matter of leaving a handprint, hurry up, my body has already disappeared by more than half."
Bai Wei glanced at it, too lazy to pay attention.
Don't underestimate ghosts; they might dig a hole in a piece of paper for you to fall into. When it comes to matters of life and death, you have to be careful.
Is signing a contract with him a way to start from this point? The delivery ghost can also make contracts with other people, and others can also control the delivery ghost. If someone else uses the delivery ghost to deal with them, wouldn't that also be within the rules?
Thinking of this, he added a sentence: "You can only sign a contract with Bai Wei. You must not have any ulterior motives, make any secret moves, or reveal any secrets to others. You must also keep your master's information confidential."
After writing it down, he didn't hesitate to press his thumbprint on it. After finishing, the paper drew black energy, splitting into two halves. One half entered Bai Wei's mind, while the other half transformed into a binding force that entered the delivery ghost's mind.
The delivery ghost was filled with rage when he saw the conditions. The moment he had the thought of killing Bai Wei, his head throbbed with pain, and he rolled on the ground clutching his head.
He quickly begged for forgiveness, daring not to have any other thoughts, and promised to forgive the delivery guy after a quarter of an hour. Only then did Bai Wei forgive him.
Looking coldly at the delivery ghost, he warned, "Don't let this happen again. Don't forget you're just a low-level weirdo; you can only help me so much."
Although the contract prevented him from shrinking, his freedom as a ghost was now tied to Bai Wei. Filled with resentment, he could only swallow the bitterness of being a takeout ghost and lower his proud head.
How did she know he was the lowest level of ghost, and even know the levels of ghosts? Could it be that she had encountered a ghost before?
By the way, where did she get those 20 ghost coins from?
Of course, it's a reward from the quest instance; once you think about it, it becomes clear.
Thinking of all this, he dared not be negligent and put on a humble smile: "Master."
He awkwardly uttered one sentence, but the second sentence flowed more smoothly: "Master, please feel free to ask me to do anything."
My mind raced with thoughts of punishment, and I dared not have any other ideas, least I be punished for not being able to bear the consequences.
Bai Wei stared at the delivery ghost for a long time before looking away: "Oh, then make another delivery. I want to continue improving my stamina."
I feel that my physical strength has increased. Before, it was a bit difficult to carry the backpack of supplies next to me, but now it is much easier to carry.
The delivery guy panicked: "No, no, no!"
"What's wrong with that? Didn't you say there was something I could tell you to do? Are you trying to make excuses?" Bai Wei was very dissatisfied. Her physical strength was very low. Although it had improved somewhat, it was not enough to survive in the apocalypse. If she wanted to become stronger, she had to improve her abilities in all aspects.
Contracting with the delivery ghost is an opportunity. Since he can create takeout that boosts stamina, as long as she eats enough, she can quickly increase her stamina and won't have to worry about others targeting her when she goes out, greatly increasing her safety.
The delivery ghost was almost in tears, pitifully explaining, "Master, you're trying to kill me!"
