Chapter 6

Silently floating behind the wall under the night sky, Yang Yuanda’s ghost had a face that alternated between hesitation and intense unwillingness, then decisiveness, ferocity, and cruelty...

His current state of mind was clearly not as clear as when he was alive, seemingly reduced to only two emotions: revenge and fear.

In the room separated by a wall, where even the moonlight could not penetrate, Bu Ye, who had slept through the entire day, lay on the hard bed, eyes closed, observing the Heart Cloud that was awakening within him. At this point, he was already very clear that the awakening of the Heart Cloud would enhance his basic physical strength, but it would vary between normal and stimulated states. In the normal state, his physical strength would be about twice that of an ordinary person, the exact multiple depending on how many Blood Stars could be activated. Only in the stimulated state could the full power of the Heart Cloud and Blood Stars be unleashed, increasing his physical strength to three, four, or even more times that of an ordinary person!

While he was observing internally, Bu Ye suddenly felt a chill rise from within his body. The gray cancer cells that were spread throughout his body suddenly united again, releasing some kind of message to him! They were like an evil clan always on high alert, both destroying Bu Ye’s body and warning him!

Bu Ye abruptly opened his eyes and tried to sit up from the bed.

In the darkness, a white ghost floating in mid-air caught Bu Ye’s eye, its indistinct face twisted into a cruel smile. No matter how brave Bu Ye was, he was still startled, and his body, which had just started to sit up, instinctively recoiled backward, landing back on the bed with a “bang.”

Seeing Bu Ye so frightened, the ghost’s smile grew even wider, but it was filled with intense cruelty.

Bu Ye, who had fallen back onto the bed, finally saw that the ghost that had suddenly appeared was Yang Yuanda’s!

Anyone in their right mind would be afraid, even to the point of wetting themselves and crying out in terror. However, Bu Ye was not a normal person. After the initial shock, he began to force himself to calm down.

If something as bizarre as crossing over with cancer could happen, why would the appearance of a ghost be any stranger?

Just because a ghost came to find him, did he have to be afraid? Hadn’t he already deeply pondered the issue of spirits and souls during the year before he crossed over?!

Since his current life was already a bonus, even death wouldn’t be a big deal.

So, Bu Ye suppressed his fear and sat up again, though it was a pity that his hands and feet were tied, leaving him without much presence.

“Yang Yuanda?” Bu Ye spoke first, his voice sounding somewhat abrupt in the silent, dark room, with a strong tone of mockery, “You really are a persistent ghost.”

Yang Yuanda’s ghostly face changed, and then, as if a cold wind blew by, a sharp voice, both crying and laughing, rang directly in Bu Ye’s ears: “Why did you kill me?!!”

Bu Ye shrugged and sneered, “You brought it upon yourself.”

In reality, Bu Ye was severely lacking in confidence and had already started frantically searching through the memories of this world’s Bu Ye to understand what was happening with the ghost. He wasn’t afraid of death, but he didn’t want to be killed by a dead person!

Yang Yuanda’s ghost was furious, floating forward a bit, his entire body beginning to spread out, looking as if he was about to pounce on Bu Ye. The voice, both crying and laughing, once again reached Bu Ye’s ears, making his entire body feel cold: “I only bullied the villagers over trivial matters, but it wasn’t enough to deserve death! Even if I was wrong, it wasn’t your place to punish me!”

Finally, Bu Ye found the memories about ghosts! In this world, ghosts did exist, but only the ghosts of those who were particularly attached to the world or died with intense regret could appear at night. If the deceased was an Awakened, the chances of their ghost appearing were even higher. However, all ghosts were afraid of living beings, and only those who died in extreme agony would seek revenge, scare, or directly possess their enemies, causing them to fall ill or even die! In this world, Bu Ye had only heard of ghosts but had never seen one.

After obtaining this information, Bu Ye was taken aback. Ghosts were afraid of living beings, but how exactly were they afraid? How could he deal with or scare away the ghost of Yang Yuanda? Unfortunately, this world’s Bu Ye had very little knowledge about ghosts. Bu Ye even thought of the red light in his mind that contained the principles of the Heart Cloud. If it could provide information related to ghosts, it would surely be the most basic and authoritative!

Yang Yuanda was still waiting for Bu Ye’s answer, and the ghostly howl drifted into Bu Ye’s ears again: “Speak!”

Bu Ye sneered and said directly, “Even if you were wrong, it wasn’t my place to punish you. But in your mind, probably no one had the right to punish you, right? In the village, only Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong were stronger than you, but you never took advantage of them, so they didn’t have the right to punish you. Those you bullied were all seen as inferior, weak, and deserved to be bullied, so they didn’t have the right to punish you. So, in your mind, you were supposed to continue living freely, right?”

“...” Yang Yuanda didn’t respond, because Bu Ye had hit the nail on the head.

“But, do others owe you anything? Everyone works hard for themselves and hasn’t received any favors from you, so why should they be taken advantage of or bullied by you?”

“...”

At this point, Yang Yuanda was speechless, but the problem was that he was no longer a living person but a ghost driven by a grudge, with a mind that was far from clear!

Feeling cornered, Yang Yuanda’s ghost was enraged and began to change dramatically in mid-air, his mouth opening wider and wider, almost taking up half his face, and his hands turning into long, sharp claws.

After a brief pause, Yang Yuanda’s ghost pounced directly at Bu Ye on the bed, roaring in a terribly mournful voice: “Give me back my life!!”

When words fail, violence follows, even for ghosts...

Bu Ye’s eyes widened, his attention intensely focused. He didn’t know how to deal with a ghost, but since ghosts were afraid of living beings, he had to fully display the state of a living being!

I’ve killed living people, why would I be afraid of a little ghost after death?!

Yang Yuanda’s ghost rapidly grew larger in Bu Ye’s eyes, and they quickly approached each other!

Bu Ye had no way to dodge, feeling a cold wind envelop his body, and the ghost was about to pounce.

“Whoosh!”

The ghost first expanded and then contracted, enveloping Bu Ye and then completely merging into his body, hurriedly and eagerly, as if rushing to be reborn!

Possessed by a ghost?!

Just as Bu Ye was preparing for a unique battle, a sudden change occurred. All the gray cancer cells in his body woke up from their dormant state and pounced on the ghost entering his body!

Was the ghost a physical entity, an energy body, or a purely spiritual entity?

Bu Ye didn’t know, but he didn’t need to know, because his body instantly became completely quiet! The cold feeling was completely gone, and his body felt no discomfort at all...

What’s going on?

It seemed that the cancer cells had just counterattacked and instantly dealt with Yang Yuanda’s ghost!

Holy crap!

Don’t make the contrast so big, okay? I thought there would be a big battle, but it’s over just like that?!

Bu Ye blinked and looked again, and it was indeed gone.

Do cancer cells have this function?!

He had to shift his attention back to the cancer cells, but they had already returned to their dormant state, just like before.

No, there seemed to be a few wisps of black gas between the cancer cells! The black gas was so thin that it was hard to see without careful observation.

Bu Ye immediately focused his attention on the black gas, but he couldn’t analyze it at all.

In this world, the human body has three clouds: Heart Cloud, Abdominal Cloud, and Cranial Cloud. Only after awakening the Cranial Cloud would an Awakened’s abilities in internal observation, perception, and analysis be greatly enhanced. Bu Ye estimated that if he had the strength to awaken the Cranial Cloud now, he could probably analyze what the black gas was. Currently, he could only guess, and he had no direction at all.

Speaking of which, the greatest effects of awakening the Abdominal Cloud and Cranial Cloud were not in enhancing the physical body but in two more magical fields.

Since Yang Yuanda’s ghost was gone, Bu Ye, now both physically and mentally free, lay back on the bed and began to observe internally again.

However, after just a short while, he heard footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Huh?

Is the execution going to happen tonight?!
