The screen displayed a terrifying female ghost's face, with blood streaming from her seven orifices, a ghastly pale complexion, and eyes bulging with bloodshot veins staring at Chen Hao.

Moreover, this face was moving within the screen, twisting grotesquely as it bared its teeth in a frightening manner.

After a moment of shock lasting two seconds, Chen Hao took several deep breaths, his heart pounding wildly as he thought that if he hadn't been an Onmyoji and had seen quite a few ghosts before, he would have been scared to death. At the same time, he couldn't help but speculate, "The roommate of Huang Yejiang must have died of something else, right? Even I, an Onmyoji, am scared, let alone an ordinary person."

"What's wrong?" Ye Yuqiao, sitting beside him, asked.

"That... that female ghost suddenly appeared on the screen, it's terrifying!" Chen Hao explained.

Just as Chen Hao was showing Ye Yuqiao the phone screen, abruptly, the surrounding air filled with a deep sense of resentment. A hand reached out from the screen, piercing through Chen Hao's chest like an iron claw, its fingers splayed wide to grasp Chen Hao's heart in an attempt to crush it.

"Uh!" Instantly, Chen Hao felt suffocated as a deadly energy transferred from the ghost's hand into his body, rapidly seeping into Chen Hao's bloodstream and turning his skin color identical to that of the ghost's.

Ye Yuqiao's brow furrowed, and her face darkened with anger as she immediately reached out her hand to break the ghost's grip.

But her hand had barely approached before it was frostbitten by the fiercely cold Yin Qi surrounding the ghost's arm.

The resentment of this female ghost was simply too intense!

"Uh!" At that moment, Chen Hao convulsed, his cheeks twitching as he let out a low, hoarse scream, his anger ignited by Ye Yuqiao's frostbite. He was just a hair's breadth away from having his consciousness devoured by death!

After another teeth-clenched roar, Chen Hao's left eye shot a plume of purple flames at the female ghost.

At that instant, Ye Yuqiao clearly saw a look of panic flash in the terrifying eyes of the ghost.

However, this did not weaken the ghost's momentum; in fact, she appeared even more dreadful.

Moments later, as the purple Nether Eye's Fire was about to engulf the ghost's ghastly face, it rebounded as if hitting an invisible wall, only striking the van's roof.

Feeling the reduction in the force the ghost was applying to his chest, Chen Hao took the opportunity to gasp for air, then closed his eyes and activated the three streams of Nether King's Power within the Nether King Orchid Heart of his left eye, expelling the deadly energy and the ghost's hand that had penetrated into his bloodstream from his body.

The ghost's eyes shot out a beam of light, astonished by the powerful and mysterious forces contained within Chen Hao.

Just as the ghost's hand attempted to withdraw back into the screen to escape, a black-shimmering Nether King's Power burst forth at high speed from Chen Hao's left eye, wrapping around the ghost's hand like an agile serpent.

"Ah!" The female ghost let out a piercing, tearing scream, feeling as if her hand, oppressed and bound by the Nether King's Power, was about to burst, "Release me!"

"Swear to me you'll no longer kill and I'll let you go," Chen Hao said.

"Impossible," the ghost snapped, "Why didn't you ask them to let me go back then? Knowing how important a woman's reputation is, they still spread those rumours that slandered me, driving me to death!"

"If you don't agree, then I'll have to exorcise you by force!"

"Hmph! I won't accept this!"

Sighing, Chen Hao closed his eyes and began to chant the exorcism spell for the Yin Soul.

However, just as the spell was about to take effect, the phone in Ye Yuqiao's hand, belonging to Chen Hao, suddenly rang.

Immediately afterward, the female ghost disappeared from Chen Hao's sight.

"What happened?" Chen Hao said in confusion. He didn't understand how the ghost had managed to escape the Nether King's Power. Even though the ghost's resentment was profound, she was still just a fierce spirit, and with her level of Spiritual Power, it should have been impossible for her to break free from the Nether King's Power.

As Chen Hao remained baffled, the scent of Yin Qi from the ghost suddenly permeated the van again.

"Courting death!" Ye Yuqiao's cold voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Hao looked at Ye Yuqiao, only to see the female ghost's hand stretching out from his phone screen, though it was now being repelled by the Nether King's Power between Ye Yuqiao's thumb and forefinger.

Chen Hao let out a long sigh of relief, thankful that he had diligently practiced with Ye Yuqiao the previous night, or else she would have been in great danger.

With a "bang," Chen Hao's phone burst into pieces!

After a brief silence, Ye Yuqiao turned to Chen Hao and said with a wry smile, "I meant to solidify its hand, but I was a step too late and ended up destroying your phone."

"Mischievous!" Chen Hao reached out and pinched Ye Yuqiao's cheek, saying, "You broke my phone, what are you going to do about it?"

Ye Yuqiao glanced at Chen Hao displeasedly, muttering, "Stingy, it's just a broken phone!"

After laughing heartily, Chen Hao embraced Ye Yuqiao and whispered, "For a broken phone, all I need is to have a Ye Yuqiao in my arms!"

"Jerk!" Ye Yuqiao clenched her fist and hammered Chen Hao's thigh hard, "So in your eyes, I'm only worth as much as a phone!"

"Phones are quite good, though; this way, I can have you with me all the time, and whenever I miss you, I can just take it out and look at it."

"I'll reluctantly accept your reasoning," Ye Yuqiao murmured softly, "Boyfriend, what's your plan for dealing with this female ghost? This type of ghost, living in a phone, has only started to appear in recent years!"

Chen Hao hummed in agreement, joking, "In today's terms, she's a novel product of this era, a contemporary type of Yin Soul!"

After kissing Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao picked up Huang Yejiang's phone and continued typing a reply to the death-threatening text message.

Yet, as Chen Hao was midway through typing, the phone's input method suddenly went haywire, autonomously typing out a web address and connecting to it.

A few seconds later, the website loaded, showing the news from a few days ago—the suicide of a highly talented girl targeted in a compromising photo scandal!

Under the news headline, there was a photo of Li Nuanyan after her fall, blood streaming across the ground.

"So you were wearing red right before you died," Chen Hao said to the screen, "No wonder you're filled with such resentment; it seems you were prepared for death."

Then, the input method typed out a line on its own—"I won't let go of those who spread rumors and drove me to death, and of course, I won't let you meddlers off either! See you next week!"

"Senior sister, let's have a chat, yeah!" Chen Hao urgently said to the screen.

For a long time, there was no more activity from the phone's input method.

Chen Hao sighed in resignation and said to Ye Yuqiao, "It's ignoring me now; I guess it must be hiding somewhere nearby, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge on Huang Yejiang."

"Why didn't it just kill all four people in Huang Yejiang's dormitory in one go?" Ye Yuqiao said with some disappointment. Like Tang Jing, she detested Huang Yejiang greatly and especially wished for him to receive his due punishment.

"Little girl, that's not a very good attitude to have," Chen Hao said as he pinched Ye Yuqiao's cheeks, then explained, "I guess it wants Huang Yejiang to suffer through some pain and terror in his heart first before killing him."

"That's enough!" Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao coldly, "Do not insult your queen; take your hands off me!"

Unwilling to concede, Chen Hao stuck out his tongue, then pressed slightly harder with his palms and said, "So I've insulted you, what do you plan to do about it? Do you have the heart to punish me?"

After fooling around in the car for a few minutes, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao got out and returned to the coffee shop.

Before they even sat down, Huang Yejiang couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Brother, what happened?"

"Met it, and it almost killed me!" Chen Hao said mournfully, "In the end, the conversation didn't go well. It wouldn't agree to reconciliation and insists on killing you rumormongers before giving up."

"Ah!" Huang Yejiang cried out in panic, "Then what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Just wait for death of course!" Tang Jing said scornfully, with a disdainful look on her face.

Instantly, Huang Yejiang's face turned ashen as he clasped Chen Hao's hand and pleaded, "Brother, you can't just stand by and watch me die."

"Alright, alright, got it, we'll save you!" said Chen Hao impatiently, "Just stay with us these few days until this is resolved, and then go turn yourself in."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

...

Chen Hao thought that the female ghost would stay nearby, waiting for the opportunity to make good on its promise to kill Huang Yejiang that day.

Yet, at that moment, the female ghost had already reached C City University's graduate student hall.

At noon.

Within the woods north of the C City University graduate student dormitory building, a male student was listening to a foreign language broadcast while trying to mimic the pronunciation.

After finishing a longer section, the male student hit the play button on his phone again to pause the broadcast.

A few sentences of standard foreign language followed; suddenly, however, a faint and low mother tongue voice sounded in the male student's ears.

The student frowned, wondering if it was a malfunction in his phone or if the audio file was damaged.

"A blood debt must be repaid with blood, a blood debt must be repaid with blood, a blood debt must be repaid with blood!" The low, repeated voice gradually shifted from being faint and indistinct to clear and distinct.

Feeling goosebumps all over at the eerie voice, the student shuddered, then lit up his phone, and the ghastly frightful face of a woman in red suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Ah!" the student screamed loudly.

One minute later, a dormitory building for male students, room 302.

Inside the room, four students from that dorm were engrossed in playing a video game.

"They're starting to take the dragon, come and capture them!" one of the students shouted.

"Place a ward over there. I'm going back to base to upgrade my equipment. I'll teleport straight over after, so wait for me before starting a team fight!"

"I'll be right there!"

Ten seconds later.

"Get ready, I'm using my ultimate and jumping in now. Remember to burst down their mage first!"

"Got it, go for it!"

"Charge!"

All their attention was focused on the screen, watching one of the student's game characters charge into the fray.

However, at that very moment, an image of that terrifying female ghost's face suddenly appeared on all four of their computer screens, and below the ghostly visage were two news articles about the indecent photo incident and her suicide leap.

"Ah!"
