Chapter 008: Unbelievable

Because that hanging ghost has never harmed anyone, the school did not take the words of these girls too seriously, considering it merely a case of students spreading rumors for fun. What you need to do now is to find that female ghost and capture her, or drive her away from Classroom Building 10 of Cangnan University

Currently, this month is not close to the exam period, so after ten o'clock in the evening, students gradually return to their dormitories to sleep. Generally, only a few exceptionally diligent top students remain here to continue studying, but most of them also pack up their books and head downstairs to their dormitories to rest around ten thirty.

This is also because, although there are legends of a female ghost in Building 10, there are no stories of this ghost harming anyone. Therefore, when there are many students around, they do not feel fear towards the female ghost.

In order to complete the task of capturing the ghost, Meng Gui disguised himself as a university male student, carrying a few books as he blended into Classroom 10 in Building 10, taking a seat in the classroom closest to the restroom.

There are many people at the school, and the vengeful spirit should not randomly appear to scare others. It is best for your main body to go over first to investigate and make contact with that female ghost

Would I still deceive you?

The task of intimidating the unscrupulous husband Li Yu that you completed earlier has earned you 10 experience points. You still need 10 more experience points, which is roughly equivalent to completing the ghost ranking task in the library once more. Your vengeful spirit clone can then advance from level 1 vengeful spirit to level 2 vengeful spirit. The vengeful spirit clone explained this in detail to Meng Gui.

After 10 o'clock today, the teaching building gradually quieted down, especially on the fifth floor where there were hardly any students left in the classrooms. The restrooms were no longer frequented, and even if a few girls remained wanting to use the restroom, they likely would not go to the girls' restroom on the fifth floor at this time. For Meng Gui, it should be a good opportunity to catch ghosts

It seems that the girl was too afraid to go to the restroom alone. After completing the inspection and returning to the vicinity of the restroom, Meng Gui looked around again and waited for more than ten minutes. After confirming that there was no one around and that the women's restroom was also empty, she finally stepped into the women's restroom.

Of course, I'll take it! Meng Gui readily agreed.

Task Assignment: Capture a ghost hanging in the women's restroom on the fifth floor of Teaching Building 10 at Cangnan University

Why did you, a boy, come to the girls' restroom

The layout of the women's restroom is similar to that of the men's restroom over there, except that there are no urinals on the wall. There are a total of five stalls along the wall. At the back of the restroom, there was originally a drainage pipe exposed at the top, which was the place where that girl hanged herself. It has now been sealed off by the school.

Well, you can actually regard the Ghost List as a system for frightening people and completing book-related tasks, and I... am the system assistant of this system... helping you communicate with the Ghost List... I... am essentially your assistant... and my relationship with that doppelgänger is not significant... The so-called "Fierce Ghost Doppelgänger" has finally acknowledged its role as a system assistant.

Hello! Are you there? Meng Gui asked the system assistant.

Is that so? After taking on the task and pondering for a while, Meng Gui suddenly felt a bit regretful

At 10:30, in order to ensure that he would not be disturbed while catching ghosts, Meng Gui specifically patrolled all the classrooms on the fifth floor. Now, the entire fifth floor was empty, with the exception of one classroom at the other end near the stairs that had its lights on, where three students—two males and one female—remained.

Just as Meng Gui was communicating with the system assistant, a panicked female voice suddenly appeared behind him

"Who are you? You don't seem to be my fierce ghost doppelgänger, but rather a spokesperson or something similar?" Meng Gui decided to get to the bottom of it.

"What exactly is the existence of the fierce ghost doppelgänger?" Meng Gui then asked.

... ...

"There happens to be a task to catch a little ghost here, which offers 10 experience points. After obtaining these 10 experience points, we can level up from level 1 to level 2. Are you willing to take on this task?" The fierce ghost clone asked Meng Gui.

In the location of this task, specifically in the women's restroom on the fifth floor of Building 10 at Cangnan University, there was once a female student who hanged herself due to emotional distress. Subsequently, some female students who stayed late for evening study sessions reported hearing someone crying inside when they went to use the restroom, and some even claimed to have seen the ghost of the girl who hanged herself

From level 1 to level 2, we can also advance to level 3 and level 4, becoming increasingly powerful

What nonsense! I just want to ask... If she doesn't come out, do I have to keep waiting here? If she doesn't come out tonight, do I have to come back tomorrow night to wait?

Meng Gui first called out several times, and only then did he enter to push open each compartment door for inspection, confirming that indeed no one was inside and there were no traces of a hanging ghost.

The teaching building No. 10 has only five floors. It is now just past nine in the evening. Although there are legends of a female ghost, many students are studying, and there are always people coming in and out of the women's restroom. No female students seem afraid to go to the women's restroom on the fifth floor. On the contrary, after entering the restroom, these girls occasionally joke and play tricks on their classmates, pretending to scare each other because of the legend.

During the task, I do not have the authority to provide you with any hints; you must rely solely on yourself! The system assistant said in a tone of schadenfreude

Really? Upon hearing the system assistant say this, Meng Gui felt considerably more at ease

"Completing this task will allow me to upgrade and become stronger?" Meng Gui confirmed with the fierce ghost clone

Do not worry, the objective of this task is merely a small ghost. Your doppelgänger is now recognized by the Ghost Ranking as a legitimate Level 1 fierce ghost, with far greater power than hers; she is simply not your match. You just need to activate the Ghost Domain in a timely manner when she appears and pull her in, and your fierce ghost doppelgänger can easily eliminate her or drive her away from Building 10. The system assistant seemed to sense Meng Gui's concerns and quickly offered him some reassurance.

Task deadline: within three days

Fighting with a real ghost! And it requires the main body to take action

"Why don't you just die?" Meng Gui became even more irritated

The surroundings have become increasingly quiet

The vengeful spirit's doppelganger translated the obscure and difficult tasks on the ghost list for Meng Gui

The previous task of scaring the villain Li Yu, including when he actively opened the ghost domain to intimidate Huang Zhiqiang, only required him to set up the scene and scare the opponent into incontinence with a fierce ghost doppelgänger. However, this time, the task is to capture a hanging ghost

Hahaha ... ... Are you afraid?" The system assistant immediately looked down on and mocked Meng Gui for a few moments

The system assistant provided Meng Gui with an introduction to the task details

Completion of task rewards: 100 points of ghostly mana, 10 points of experience, 1 marking card, 1 monitoring card for hetushu.com, 1 door lock card, 1 flickering light card, and 1 soundproof card

The objective of the task: At least drive away the hanging ghost from Building 10

With no other choice, Meng Gui had to remain in the women's restroom, quietly waiting for that ghost to appear

"Alright, go ahead and tell me the details of this task." Meng Gui did not waste any more words.

Cangnan University is one of the top universities in Cangsong City, with tens of thousands of students and a large campus area. There are dozens of teaching buildings of various sizes, which are open to students for self-study in the evenings

Then hurry up and find me a new task on the Ghost List, so that my fierce ghost avatar can level up from level 1 to level 2, making it easier to deal with that talisman, and punish that fraud, Huang Zhiqiang

In order to capture the female ghost and complete the task, Meng Gui has already made preparations to guard the women's restroom for an entire night

What is the matter? The system assistant replied to Meng Gui.

"It's nothing... just... wanted to ask a question..." Meng Gui replied to the system assistant with a hint of irritation. Although he was bold, he wasn't recklessly so. Last time, pretending to be a ghost to scare someone was one thing, but now he was to catch a ghost and confront another one. With the surroundings so quiet, it felt rather eerie.

"This... I do not know, I only know that I must absolutely obey your commands..." The ghostly doppelgänger said to Meng Gui.
