Under the threat of photos, Wang Shao had no choice but to agree to Wei Qiang's demands. At that moment, Wei Qiang stood nearby while one of his friends, a man in his forties, was on top of Wang Shao, relentlessly assaulting her. Wang Shao cried.
However, that was just the beginning. After that, Wei Qiang took Wang Shao to play a girlfriend exchange game with different friends. They also enjoyed taking photos, engaging in bondage, and even sharing their pictures with each other.
Until one day, Wang Shao overheard her classmates discussing her, calling her a bitch. She later discovered a set of scandalous photos of herself online—images of her in bed with different men.
Wang Shao called Wei Qiang to confront him, but at that moment she learned that Wei Qiang was getting engaged to a wealthy girl. Moreover, he threatened Wang Shao that if she dared to bother him again, he would send her photos back to her rural hometown.
In despair, Wang Shao sought revenge against Wei Qiang, determined to ruin him even if she couldn't kill him. So she went to Wei Qiang's company to find him.
Wei Qiang was surprisingly kind, claiming it was his fault and that he wouldn’t marry the rich girl; he was just under family pressure to get engaged.
He even took Wang Shao out for dinner.
However, after dinner, while singing karaoke, Wei Qiang took advantage of Wang Shao's distraction and injected a syringe full of drugs into her vein. The dosage was too high, and since it was Wang Shao's first time using drugs and her tolerance was low, it wasn't long before she started convulsing and died.
Later, when the police investigated, they concluded that Wang Shao died from a drug overdose and did not pursue any criminal charges against anyone involved.
Unwilling to accept this fate, a wave of resentment transformed her into a ghost.
Wang Shao's spirit found Wei Qiang, but he possessed a black jade pendant that he never parted with. Although Wang Shao located him, she had no way to take revenge.
Later on, when Wei Qiang took photos of Liu Yiyi and pursued her romantically, Wang Shao worried that Liu Yiyi might suffer the same fate as hers. Thus, she appeared in the photographs. Although Liu Yiyi couldn’t see the ghost directly, the developed photos revealed her presence.
Wang Shao intended to use this method to warn Liu Yiyi not to be deceived by Wei Qiang.
That night, taking advantage of the situation, Wei Qiang attempted to force himself on Liu Yiyi. Wang Shao appeared as well, wanting to save Liu Yiyi and fearing for her safety.
However, later on, I struck Wang Shao's spirit with a peach wood stick. The pain caused her ghostly form to lose its sanity and transform into a red-clad evil spirit. Without reason or restraint, this evil spirit sought to kill us all.
After listening to Wang Shao's account, Liu Yiyi and I fell silent.
Yang Gou Dan showed little emotional change; he simply said, "You may have suffered greatly, but the root cause lies in your being deceived by love. Now that you are dead, you should not interfere in the affairs of the living. Hurry up and reincarnate."
"No! I must take revenge!" Wang Shao shouted loudly, possessing Chi Xiang.
"Hmph, you foolish spirit! You refuse to listen to reason!" Yang Gou Dan reached out to strike Wang Shao, intending to scatter her soul.
"Stop!" Liu Yiyi and I spoke simultaneously.
Yang Gou Dan turned, looking at us with confusion.
I pushed Yang Gou Dan aside and said, "She's already suffered so much; do you really want to make her soul scatter even more? Have you no humanity left?"
Liu Yiyi nodded in agreement. Though she hesitated to confront Yang Gou Dan directly, it was clear she shared my sentiment.
Yang Gou Dan snorted and raised his head. "Do you really believe in ghost stories? Besides, evil people will get their just deserts. Ghosts should not meddle in human affairs."
"Get out of here!" I pushed Yang Gou Dan away and turned to Wang Shao. "Don't worry; we will help you take revenge."
Liu Yiyi stepped forward as well. "Yes, thank you for reminding me. We will report this and bring that bastard Wei Qiang to justice. Thank you for helping me see the true nature of that scoundrel."
I glanced at Liu Yiyi, quietly thinking: Yes, Wang Shao, thank you for helping our school's goddess regain her single status.
Seeing that both Liu Yiyi and I were determined to avenge Wang Shao, Yang Gou Dan sighed. "Alright, alright. I really can't stand your youthful fervor—so impulsive and unaware of the dangers of the world."
"Go away," I replied. This Yang Gou Dan often lamented life and spouted philosophical musings as if he were an old man who had seen it all.
Yang Gou Dan said, "How about this? I'll seal Wang Shao's spirit for now. When you bring that man to justice, we can perform a rite for her."
We all agreed to this arrangement.
The ghost of Wang Shao floated out from Chi Xiang's body and then knelt before me and Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi couldn't see Wang Shao, but I could. I reached out to help Wang Shao up and said, "There's no need for such formalities."
Yang Gou Dan patted himself down and muttered, "I didn't bring any talismans. Do you have anything made of locust wood at home?"
"Locust wood? Would my pen holder work?" Liu Yiyi asked.
"That works," Yang Gou Dan replied indifferently.
Liu Yiyi went to her study and brought back a pen holder, handing it to Yang Gou Dan.
Yang Gou Dan said, "To seal the ghost, my master can use the back side of Bodhi Beads. If you don't have those, locust wood will do; it often harbors spirits. This kind of thing can nurture a soul." As he explained, he bit his finger and drew a "卍" character on the Huangwood Pen Holder, then raised it toward Wang Shao and said, "Amitabha, be collected!"
In an instant, Wang Shao's ghost dove into the pen holder.
Yang Gou Dan tossed the pen holder to me and said, "Take good care of it. Buddha, I'm heading back now; I might still make it to the next team battle." With that, Yang Gou Dan hurried off.
I patted Chi Xiang's face and pinched his philtrum to wake him up again.
Chi Xiang had quite a tragic experience; in such a short time, he fainted twice—first from fright and then from being possessed by a ghost.
When Chi Xiang woke up, he was still dazed. However, upon seeing Liu Yiyi in her pajamas, his eyes lit up as he insisted on chatting with her about life.
Liu Yiyi yawned and said, "The situation has finally been resolved. Song Fei, Chi Xiang, it's getting late; you should head back. I'll call you tomorrow morning so we can report this to the police."
I agreed and pulled Chi Xiang toward the door.
"Why are we leaving? Song Fei, we... no, I have to stay here with Sister Yiyi. This room is so scary; I must stay," Chi Xiang protested.
I tugged at Chi Xiang's neck and said, "Can you stop embarrassing yourself? Fainting twice already—I'm blushing for you."
Upon hearing this, Chi Xiang fell silent, mumbling, "That was my first time seeing a ghost... What the hell! Song Fei, there really are ghosts in this world, it's terrifying."
As Chi Xiang and I walked out towards the school dormitory, Liu Yiyi showed no fear. After seeing us off, she closed the door and went to sleep.
I stuffed the pen holder into my bag while Chi Xiang expressed his feelings all the way.
When we reached the dormitory, Yang Gou Dan was indeed playing a game. Upon seeing us enter, he waved his hand, "Chi Xiang, come on! We haven't lost yet, hurry up!"
Chi Xiang walked up to Yang Gou Dan and suddenly knelt on the ground, startling both me and Yang Gou Dan.
"What the hell are you doing?" I kicked Chi Xiang lightly.
But Chi Xiang bowed his head to Yang Gou Dan, saying, "Master Dog Egg, please take me as your disciple. I want to learn how to catch ghosts and woo Liu Yiyi. Ah, she's so beautiful! Master Dog Egg, as long as you teach me how to catch ghosts and let me get close to Liu Yiyi, I'll treat you to Spicy Strips. I'll even bring you kills in games and guarantee you'll reach Diamond Rank in two months!"
"Shameless!" I sighed.
Yang Gou Dan scratched his head and asked, "So... will there really be Spicy Strips to eat?"
"Absolutely!" Chi Xiang saw an opportunity and immediately raised his voice, "I could even contract a whole Spicy Strips factory just for you!"
Yang Gou Dan licked his lips, nearly drooling. He thought for a moment and said, "Well... that sounds good. But you guys might not be able to learn."
Hearing this, I was surprised that Yang Gou Dan actually agreed. I couldn't help but feel that he was indeed a brat—so easy to fool. Just a few packs of Spicy Strips and some kills were enough to convince him. However, this was an opportunity; if we learned it, we could uphold justice after mastering it.
I kicked Chi Xiang again to get him up.
Yang Gou Dan continued, "Actually, catching ghosts is quite easy. For example, I have a natural talent for it—born with a pure spirit body that never gets sick. Since birth, I've had spiritual eyes that see through any ghostly disguise. My blood makes Evil Spirits tremble and Zombies avoid me. My master says I'm a once-in-a-century talent; aside from bringing trouble to temples, even Buddha might not be stronger than me..."
"Stop right there!" I interrupted Yang Gou Dan. "What the hell? Dog Egg, are you bragging or teaching us how to catch ghosts?"
Yang Gou Dan grinned and said, "I'm just posing a question. You two are pretty inexperienced, so honestly, you probably won't be able to learn."
"I'm sorry, you're kidding me!" Chi Xiang got up from the ground and shouted loudly. Yang Gou Dan immediately said: "I just said it. Don't blame me for the gift problem. Anyway, I have to eat Spicy Strips every time." Chi Xiang flicked Yang Gou Dan's bald head. Yang Gou Dan touched his head in embarrassment. When I looked at Yang Gou Dan like that, I knew that this guy actually didn’t know much. The reason why he was so awesome was because he was very talented. He probably would have used a transcendental technique at ordinary times. Rebirth Mantra, and can only draw a "swastika" symbol. I didn’t expose Yang Gou Dan, I asked about Rebirth Mantra, and then I went to sleep.
