Chapter 1

"Mission Released: Use the ghostly doppelgänger to scare the designated target."

"Mission Time Limit: Ten minutes."

"Mission Objective: Scare the target to the point of incontinence."

"Mission Reward for Completion: One Light-Off Card, one Door-Lock Card, one Soundproof Card, 100 Ghost Points, and 10 Experience Points."

"Mission Penalty for Failure: Three months in the Ghost Prison."

"Why do I have to go and scare someone for no reason? This mission is too unethical!" Meng Gui asked the Ghost System, clearly confused.

"Because we are ghosts! How can we show our presence if we don't scare people?" the Ghost System replied to Meng Gui.

"This mission is too unethical, I won't take it!" Meng Gui shook his head. As a law-abiding citizen, Meng Gui had never even stolen a lollipop from a child, and now he was being asked to scare a stranger to the point of incontinence, which went against his values, worldview, and moral principles.

"Not taking it is fine, but you will be sent to the Ghost Prison for three months..." the Ghost System replied calmly.

"No way!" Meng Gui shouted. He had already been thrown into the Ghost Prison for three days and three nights for defying the Ghost System's orders, and he never wanted to experience that again.

"Then try to complete the mission! Successfully completing the mission will earn you points, which can be exchanged for money, so you won't have to worry about food even if you don't work." The Ghost System tried to persuade Meng Gui with both soft and hard tactics.

"Alright, alright! Tell me the details of the mission..." Meng Gui replied listlessly, his head hanging low. A few days ago, he had a high fever and was inexplicably bound to this Ghost System, gaining a ghostly doppelgänger, and thus began his unethical life.

"It is now 10:52 PM in Yujing. The teleportation for this mission will begin in five minutes. The target is a 27-year-old man named Li Yu. You have three minutes to set up the scene before the mission starts..."

"You must scare him to the point of incontinence within ten minutes after the mission starts. If you fail, you will be sent to the Ghost Prison for three months."

"Here is his photo and some basic information, you can check it out..." The Ghost System quickly explained the mission details to Meng Gui.

Looking at the photo of the man he had never met, Meng Gui did not want to carry out this unethical mission, but considering the various tortures in the Ghost Prison, he had no choice but to harden his heart and find a way to scare him.

In the past, he had always been the one scared by ghosts in horror movies, but now he had to play the ghost to scare others, which felt quite strange.

Five minutes later.

"Teleportation initiated..."

"Teleporting..."

"Arrived at the target location..."

"Teleportation complete..."

After the teleportation ended, Meng Gui looked around and found that his doppelgänger had been teleported to a bathroom by the Ghost System. The bathroom was over ten square meters, luxuriously decorated, clearly belonging to a wealthy family.

It seemed that the target was probably a rich second-generation type.

Hopefully, he was a heinous criminal, so Meng Gui wouldn't feel guilty.

"Bathroom mission... Too bad the target isn't a beautiful woman, otherwise, I could enjoy the view while completing the mission... You really lack taste, Ghost System?" Meng Gui couldn't help but complain.

"It's not a lack of taste, but there's a crackdown now. If I made a woman take a shower, it would be censored." The system explained seriously.

"Damn! There are such rules?" Meng Gui was speechless.

"Three minutes from now, Li Yu will enter the bathroom to take a shower. You have three minutes to set up the scene, so hurry up!" The Ghost System reminded Meng Gui.

"Got it." Meng Gui responded and began to look around.

His ghostly doppelgänger was temporarily limited to the bathroom, unable to see the outside room. With only ten minutes to complete the mission, he decided to scare the target in the bathroom.

Since that was the case, the Door-Lock Card would definitely be needed. When Li Yu discovers a ghost in the bathroom and tries to escape, the Door-Lock Card would prevent him from easily leaving. A Door-Lock Card costs 2 Ghost Points, so Meng Gui temporarily exchanged for 1.

The Soundproof Card was also necessary. Otherwise, if Li Yu starts shouting, it would alert the people in the room, and Meng Gui's efforts would be in vain. A Soundproof Card costs 3 Ghost Points, so he also exchanged for 1.

For a typical bathroom horror scenario, a bathtub full of blood was essential. Meng Gui thought for a moment, pointed his finger, and spent 1 Ghost Point, instantly filling the empty bathtub with blood.

A bathtub full of blood alone wasn't scary enough. A ghost head emerging from the blood would be the scariest, so he decided to have his doppelgänger pretend to be a female ghost hiding in the blood.

Right, the shower curtain should be pulled closed first. If Li Yu opens the door and immediately sees a bathtub full of blood, he might scream and run back to the room or call the police, making the setup useless.

A few bloodstains on the wall? Bloodstains on the mirror? Then... the mirror shattering with a 'crack'? Yes, he needed to plan carefully to achieve the best scare effect, ensuring that Li Yu was scared to the point of incontinence.

People in this world are so afraid of ghosts, but from Meng Gui's current perspective, being a ghost isn't easy either. Setting up a scary scene is a very labor-intensive task.

Meng Gui kept thinking and working, and the three minutes passed quickly.

Footsteps could be heard outside the bathroom, then a 'click' as the bathroom door was opened. It was the mission target, Li Yu, who pushed the door open and walked in. After entering, he closed the bathroom door, walked to the sink, washed his hands, and then took a towel to wash his face.

After washing his face, Li Yu looked at himself in the mirror and instinctively glanced behind him. For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

As if now, he was clearly alone in the bathroom, but he felt as if there was someone else there, making him feel inexplicably nervous.

After a while, Li Yu shook his head, smiled at his reflection in the mirror, and thought he was just scaring himself... His parents were still talking in the living room, and the door was always locked, so how could anyone get in?

Soon, Li Yu calmed down and prepared to take a shower.

There was indeed someone else in the bathroom, Meng Gui's ghostly doppelgänger, who was floating in the air, looking around, and planning the next move.

Of course, Meng Gui's doppelgänger was a ghost, so Li Yu couldn't see him.

Li Yu walked to the bathtub to turn on the water but stopped, staring at the shower curtain...

He vaguely remembered that the shower curtain should be closed, but it was now open.

Maybe he just remembered it wrong?

A few seconds later, Li Yu shook his head and pulled the shower curtain open...

"AHHHHH!!!"

Seeing the bathtub full of blood, Li Yu predictably screamed loudly, his face filled with terror. For some reason, the blood seemed to have made his legs weak, and he didn't immediately turn and run.

And he wasn't scared to the point of incontinence.

"Too unethical." The ghostly doppelgänger floating in the air dove into the bathtub, and a long-haired female ghost with a face covered in blood emerged, her eyes white and devoid of black.

"AHHHHH!!!"

Seeing the female ghost in the blood, Li Yu let out another extremely piercing scream, turned around, and rushed to the bathroom door, shouting for help.

The ghostly doppelgänger, transformed into a female ghost, leaned on the edge of the bathtub, wiped her face, and shook the blood off her long hair... Damn, even like this, he wasn't scared to the point of incontinence?

No, he needed to use the Door-Lock Card.

With a 'click', just as Li Yu reached the bathroom door to open it, the door, which was only locked from the inside, suddenly locked from the outside. No matter how hard Li Yu twisted the doorknob, he couldn't open it.

"Help! Help!" Li Yu realized something was wrong and shouted loudly, frantically pounding on the bathroom door.
