Chapter 10

"MY sister... is a very beautiful girl and works very hard at her studies." Gu Qin hesitated for a moment before finally speaking to Meng Gui.

"It's obvious... she must look a lot like you, right?" Meng Gui looked at Gu Qin's beautiful face and replied.

Gu Qin nodded, blushing slightly under Meng Gui's gaze, looking a bit shy and nervous, and began to look around.

"Shall we... go sit in the classroom over there and talk more?" Meng Gui pointed to the classroom near the restroom and suggested to Gu Qin.

"Okay, you... wait a moment... I'll go get my backpack from that classroom first." Gu Qin replied to Meng Gui and then ran a few steps to the classroom by the stairs. After a while, she came out with a small backpack and followed Meng Gui into the classroom.

After finding a seat in the classroom, Gu Qin sat down, and Meng Gui turned around in the seat in front of her to face her.

"Our relationship as sisters is very good. When she was alive, we often talked on the phone and chatted on QQ..." Gu Qin seemed to be lost in her memories.

"At that time, I was preparing for an exam, and no one told me about her accident. They even lied, saying they were on a trip when they came to Cangnan University. It wasn't until I couldn't reach her and felt something was wrong that I found out about her accident... I didn't even get to see her one last time..." Gu Qin started crying as she spoke.

"Your family was just trying to protect you, not wanting to affect your exam preparation..." Meng Gui sighed. He had a sister, so he could understand the deep bond between siblings.

"I don't believe for a second that she committed suicide! And she wasn't even in a relationship at that time! It's impossible for her to have committed suicide over a love affair. All of this is a lie! A lie to cover up the real reason for her death!" Gu Qin's small fists were clenched tightly, and her emotions became agitated and angry.

"Lie? Then... what do you think the real reason for your sister's death is?" Meng Gui asked Gu Qin, a bit puzzled.

Caring for Gu Qin and asking her these questions might seem like he was trying to flirt with her. Meng Gui couldn't deny that he had some such thoughts... a girl as beautiful as Gu Qin was hard for any boy not to feel protective of... But at this moment, Meng Gui's questions weren't entirely for that reason.

After figuring out the cause of Gu Ling's death, Meng Gui could avoid using violence when she appeared and persuade her to leave the 10th teaching building, thus completing his mission.

"She was murdered! By that man who claimed to be her boyfriend, that evil man named Xia Yichu! My sister wasn't in a relationship with him, so how could she have committed suicide over a love affair? She was murdered by Xia Yichu! Then he hung her body here! Xia Yichu's family is very wealthy and used their connections in the police force to cover up the evidence and make it look like my sister committed suicide!" Gu Qin's eyes were red, and her face was flushed with anger.

"Gu Qin, don't worry... that man's name is Xia Yichu? Do you know where he lives? If your sister was really murdered by him, I can find out the truth and bring him to justice for you." Meng Gui comforted Gu Qin and made a promise to her.

With the help of the Ghost System, Meng Gui could easily scare Xia Yichu into confessing, just like Li Yu. This might be difficult for others to investigate, but for Meng Gui, it would be easy to force the truth out of Xia Yichu once he was in the Ghost Realm.

According to previous experience, everything that happened in the Ghost Realm would be recorded in the mission report, and the evidence could be released online. Even if someone in the Cangsong Public Security Bureau tried to cover it up, it would be hard to hide the truth.

Even the people behind the scenes, trying to cover up the truth, could be exposed to the public, bringing justice to the world.

Perhaps this was the true meaning of the Ghost System's mission?

"Can you really bring justice for my sister?" Gu Qin's eyes, which had been filled with helplessness and despair, now showed a glimmer of hope and expectation.

"Yes, and I will definitely keep my promise!"

Meng Gui nodded solemnly at Gu Qin. The greater one's power, the greater one's responsibility. He had just graduated from university, and his passion for justice hadn't cooled. Now, with his ghostly alter ego, he could do many things that ordinary people couldn't. If the system didn't force him, he wouldn't do anything illegal, but he would use all his strength to uphold justice and fairness in the world.

Even if it was just a small effort, like the Jingwei bird filling the sea, he would still do it.

"I'm not sure where Xia Yichu lives now, but I know he used to study at Cangnan University and is the son of Xia Yanfu, the chairman of Ouchang Group. The Xia family is very powerful, and you might not be able to deal with them." Gu Qin's expression turned somber as she thought about it.

"Don't worry about that. Since I can catch ghosts, catching a person will be even easier. Since I know he's the son of the chairman of Ouchang Group, it will be easy to find him. Once I find him, I promise to bring the truth to light! No matter how powerful he is, I will bring him to justice!" Meng Gui clenched his fists, full of confidence.

"Thank you so much." Gu Qin looked at Meng Gui with gratitude. When a man has a sense of justice, he is at his coolest and most handsome.

"You're welcome." Meng Gui quickly humbled himself, feeling a bit embarrassed under Gu Qin's gaze. After all, he was just a recent graduate with no dating experience, and this was his first time chatting so closely with a beauty like her and being so appreciated.

"Can I ask you a question?" After a while, Gu Qin broke the slightly awkward silence.

"Go ahead."

"Before... I never believed in ghosts or that anyone could catch them... My question is... why can you catch ghosts? Can all Taoists do that? If... if it's hard to answer, you don't have to..." Gu Qin asked cautiously.

"I... I guess you could say I'm an urban cultivator? And I specialize in ghost cultivation, making a living by catching ghosts. Cultivators like us are usually restricted and can't easily reveal our abilities to the public, which is why you've never heard of us." Meng Gui thought for a moment and explained to Gu Qin.

The explanation of being a cultivator seemed more impressive than the Ghost System and ghostly alter ego.

"Earlier, I mistook you for a ghost, so you had to reveal your abilities and identity to me?" Gu Qin smiled apologetically at Meng Gui.

"Yes... that's right..." Meng Gui couldn't take his eyes off Gu Qin's beautiful smile.

Gu Qin, noticing Meng Gui's gaze, turned away, looking a bit embarrassed. It seemed she rarely chatted so closely with boys.

"Um... I... I should go to work now. It's getting late, and you have class tomorrow, right? You should go back to your dorm and get some sleep." Meng Gui came to his senses, checked the time, and stood up to speak to Gu Qin.

"I'll stay with you for the night. I've never been able to stay here late alone before, so I've never seen my sister. Now that you're here, I want to try staying for the night..." Gu Qin hesitated and said to Meng Gui.

"Is that... a good idea? We just met, and we don't know each other well. Aren't you worried about your safety staying with me?" Meng Gui, of course, hoped to spend the night with a beautiful companion, but he still felt he should say what needed to be said.
