Chapter 2

"Ha ha ha ha..." Meng Gui's female ghost clone let out a few eerie laughs. He had long ago used a soundproof card in the bathroom, so no matter how loudly Li Yu shouted, no one would hear his cries for help.

However, Li Yu, who was shouting loudly, did not hear the ghost's eerie laughter behind him.

After shouting for a while, Li Yu suddenly fell silent. He could clearly hear his parents laughing and talking in the living room, but no matter how hard he pounded on the door and shouted, they did not respond at all. This left him feeling extremely confused and terrified.

After falling silent, Li Yu noticed that the sound of his parents talking and laughing in the living room was getting softer, deeper, and more distant, gradually becoming indistinct. This made him even more frightened, and his whole body began to tremble.

"Ha ha ha ha ha..."

Another round of the ghost's eerie laughter sounded from behind him. Li Yu's skin crawled, and he quickly turned around. He then noticed that the blood in the bathtub had overflowed and was flowing on the smooth bathroom floor, forming ghostly claw shapes that were moving toward his feet...

"No!"

Li Yu hurriedly ran toward the sink, trying to avoid the blood and ghostly claws on the ground. But at that moment, a cold woman's hand suddenly grabbed his ankle tightly. Caught off guard, Li Yu fell to the ground.

"Let's see where you run now!" Meng Gui, lying on the ground, grabbed Li Yu's ankle with all his might, speaking in a very shrill and piercing voice. He felt that if this terrifying scene were in a TV show or movie, it would be incredibly cool.

Playing a ghost is quite satisfying!

But this Li Yu's psychological resilience is too strong, hasn't he wet himself yet?

No, time for the blackout card!

The bathroom light suddenly went out, and everything was pitch black...

The ghost's other hand also grabbed Li Yu's other ankle...

"Wife, I confess! Please spare me! I'll turn myself in to the police tomorrow, just let me go..." Li Yu, who had fallen to the ground, shouted loudly, kicking his legs wildly to try to kick away the ghost's hands.

"Oh? What crime did you commit?" Meng Gui, hearing that Li Yu seemed to have something to confess, continued to ask in the ghost's very sharp and piercing voice.

"I shouldn't have pushed you down the stairs and lied that you jumped on your own... Wife, I was just impulsive... I regret it so much... Please forgive me..." Li Yu said, his voice trembling.

"Just an impulse?" Meng Gui didn't expect that Li Yu had actually committed murder! And it seemed he had escaped legal punishment, so he asked another question out of instinct.

"I shouldn't have secretly pinched your oxygen tube in the hospital... making it impossible for you to be saved..." Li Yu continued.

"You have such a cruel heart..." Meng Gui was starting to understand what had happened.

"It was all Xiaona's idea, she made me trick you onto the rooftop... I was possessed by evil! I shouldn't have had an affair with her while you were pregnant, and then met such a heartless woman..." Li Yu continued to sob and confess.

After a moment, the bathroom light suddenly turned back on. Li Yu found that there was nothing on his ankles, and there was no blood or ghost on the floor near the bathtub.

Everything in the bathroom was normal, but it was eerily quiet.

Li Yu, trembling, sat on the bathroom floor, looking around in obvious fear.

But everything in the bathroom was indeed normal, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Li Yu slowly stood up, looking behind him, and tried to turn the bathroom door lock again with his trembling hand, but it still wouldn't open.

Outside the bathroom door, it was abnormally quiet, and he couldn't hear anything, as if his parents had already gone back to their room to sleep.

Li Yu, gathering his courage, walked back to the bathtub, pulled back the curtain, and found that the bathtub was empty, with no blood or ghost.

Was it just an illusion just now?

But... Li Yu suddenly felt uncomfortable in his neck and back, and his breathing became difficult, as if he was carrying something heavy. He instinctively touched his neck and back but felt nothing.

Li Yu walked to the bathroom mirror, wanting to see what was on his back, but the mirror was fogged up, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Li Yu wiped the mirror, and finally saw what was on his back... the female ghost from the bathtub, with a bloody face and white eyes, was sitting on his shoulders, her hands tightly around his neck, with a very eerie smile on her face.

"I will... be on your back... for the rest of my life..." Meng Gui's ghost clone said in a sinister voice.

Li Yu fell to the bathroom floor with a thud, and at the same time, a faint smell of urine spread through the air.

"Target scared to wet himself, mission accomplished. Reward: one blackout card, one lock card, one soundproof card, 100 ghost points, 10 experience points."

...

"Is that it?" Meng Gui, after exiting the mission, asked the ghost system somewhat reluctantly.

"What more do you want?" the ghost system asked Meng Gui.

"He committed murder! He pushed his wife down the stairs and pinched her oxygen tube in the hospital! This is too heinous! Just scaring him to wet himself is the punishment?"

"The entire mission has been automatically recorded and stored in the mission report. You can transfer it to your phone from the system hard drive at any time, or directly post it anonymously online using the system," the ghost system reminded Meng Gui.

"Oh?" Meng Gui quickly brought up the system interface, and indeed, there was a recorded video in the mission report. When he opened it, it showed the entire process of Li Yu being scared by his ghost clone.

However, there were no ghosts or blood in the video, only Li Yu walking around the bathroom and then falling to the ground, pale and talking to himself. Every word he said to Meng Gui's ghost clone was clearly recorded by the system.

"Great!" Meng Gui immediately used the ghost system to post the video online, along with some text explanations, and forwarded it to the Cangsong Public Security Bureau, the Tianhu Provincial Public Security Department, and some internet celebrities.

"It seems that choosing this person as the mission target wasn't random!" Meng Gui felt a bit more favorably toward the ghost system for helping to punish a criminal who had escaped justice.

"Those who have no guilty conscience have nothing to fear from ghosts. As a principled and just ghost, we will only punish and scare those who have done wrong and escaped legal punishment," the ghost system said proudly.

"Alright, this time you have principles." Meng Gui, counting the mission rewards, finally felt more at ease.

"By the way, from now on, you can freely create ghost realms. As long as you spend 10 ghost points, you can create a 10-minute Level 1 ghost realm, and pull one target into the realm to scare them with your ghost clone," the ghost system continued.

"Freely create ghost realms? Scare whoever I want? That's great." Meng Gui was delighted to hear this. In the future, if he was annoyed by someone, he could pull them into a ghost realm and scare them to wet themselves. This seemed like a superpower.

"Creating a Level 1 ghost realm freely, if you scare the target to scream, you get 2 ghost points as a reward; if you scare them to wet themselves, you get 20 ghost points and some random card items as a reward. But you must wait at least five hours between each creation of a free ghost realm..." the ghost system continued.

"Oh? In that case, don't I not have to go to work? I can earn enough money to support myself just by doing this?" Meng Gui, calculating with his fingers, was delighted.
