"Listen, I will find a newspaper to expose your and Zhi Feng Technology's ugly faces, so you can never deceive anyone again!" Meng Gui continued to negotiate with the boss, Huang Zhiqiang.
"Hahahaha... Go ahead, go ahead! Do you really think that reporters nowadays are upholders of justice? How utterly naive and ridiculous!" Huang Zhiqiang and his driver burst into laughter after hearing Meng Gui's words.
"I will post on various campus websites to expose your ugly faces." Meng Gui weakly threatened Huang Zhiqiang again.
"Meng Gui, you'd better behave! I know you have a sister named Meng Yi who is a sophomore at Cangsong Art College. If you dare to spread lies online, I can't guarantee what will happen to her! Let me tell you, my cousin runs a nightclub, and he has many tough guys, each one stronger than my driver! Right now, they are short of a few hostesses..." Huang Zhiqiang's face turned dark after hearing Meng Gui's words, and he pointed to the bald, muscular man beside him, threatening Meng Gui fiercely.
"If you dare to touch my sister, I will never let you off!" Meng Gui couldn't help but get angry when he heard Huang Zhiqiang's words. He valued his family the most, and if Huang Zhiqiang dared to harm his sister Meng Yi, he would definitely fight to the death with Huang Zhiqiang.
"So, it's best we don't cross each other's paths. Xiao Meng, for your sister's safety, it's better not to be too impulsive in the future." Huang Zhiqiang snorted coldly, still with a look of disdain. He knew these students were very timid, and even if they said some tough words, they were just talking.
"Boss Huang, you have deceived so many innocent students to work for you for free, and done so many evil deeds. Aren't you afraid of the ghost knocking at your door?" Meng Gui shook his head. Originally, he only wanted to take the righteous path to reclaim his salary, but Huang Zhiqiang was too overbearing, and the normal channels couldn't punish him in the short term. It seemed he needed to give him some special punishment.
"Hahahaha... I'm not afraid of the ghost knocking at my door. Are there really ghosts in this world? If you have the ability, bring a couple over for me to see?" Huang Zhiqiang's expression became even more disdainful.
"The three months' salary you owe me, if you don't give it to me today, you will kneel and beg to pay it back several times in the future. Don't regret it then." Meng Gui calmed down and said to Huang Zhiqiang calmly.
"Wow! What a big mouth! Let's see what you can do!" Huang Zhiqiang looked at Meng Gui with a mocking expression.
Meng Gui didn't say anything more and turned to leave Huang Zhiqiang's office.
With the ability to create ghost zones and use his ghost avatar to scare people, Meng Gui had been looking for someone to test his skills, but he hadn't found a suitable target yet. It didn't feel right to target an innocent passerby. Now, the first target, Huang Zhiqiang, had come to him, and he didn't have to feel guilty about it.
...
After Meng Gui anonymously posted the video of Li Yu's confession to the murder of his wife using the ghost system, it was widely shared online.
Li Yu had an affair while his wife was pregnant and pushed her down the stairs. To cover up his crime, he even squeezed her oxygen tube in the hospital, leading to her death. These evil deeds infuriated netizens.
The police officers who initially handled the case in Cangsong City were also heavily questioned. Under the pressure of netizens, the provincial public security department of Tianhu sent a special task force to Cangsong City to reinvestigate the case.
Seeing the real-time reports online, Meng Gui felt immensely gratified. A criminal who had escaped justice was about to be brought to justice thanks to his efforts. There was nothing more satisfying than this.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Every man with a sense of justice has a dream of being a hero, and Meng Gui was no exception. He used to be a nobody, never thinking he could uphold justice and righteousness with his own abilities. Now, with this powerful ghost avatar, he could make good use of it.
For now, he would create some free ghost zones to practice, so he would be more confident and skilled when doing ghost tasks in the future.
He would start with the unscrupulous boss, Huang Zhiqiang, who owed him wages.
Spending ten ghost points to create a ghost zone, he would scare Huang Zhiqiang and warn him through his ghost avatar to pay back the wages he owed, including those of the former students and the current students working for him. Otherwise, he would be haunted by ghosts.
He didn't believe Huang Zhiqiang wouldn't submit.
He would carefully plan his first free ghost zone, aiming to scare Huang Zhiqiang so much that he would wet his pants. This way, he could recover the 10 points used to create the ghost zone and even make a profit.
Meng Gui knew that Huang Zhiqiang often stayed in the company until around 10:30 PM to supervise the students he had deceived into working overtime. So, Meng Gui hid himself in the building where Zhi Feng Technology was located early.
He decided to set the location of his first free ghost zone in the elevator.
Meng Gui vaguely remembered that once, when he was leaving work, he happened to be in the elevator with Boss Huang Zhiqiang. The elevator malfunctioned and shook slightly. Meng Gui didn't think much of it, but Huang Zhiqiang was terrified, his face turning pale. He even called the property management staff to scold them and demanded they fix the elevator.
Huang Zhiqiang seemed to be very afraid of elevator accidents, so scaring him in the elevator should be effective.
Additionally, Meng Gui suspected that his affinity for horror movies, TV shows, and novels might be one of the reasons he was bound to the ghost system. This made him braver than most people when facing such situations and familiar with various horror scenarios, which would help him control the scenes and plots when his ghost avatar scared others.
Regardless of whether Huang Zhiqiang had a fear of elevators, in horror movies, TV shows, and novels, the elevator at night is a common place for scary events. The small, enclosed space and the quiet, lonely environment easily evoke unpleasant thoughts.
For the elevator ghost zone, soundproofing was essential to prevent Huang Zhiqiang's screams from attracting attention. After successfully completing the task of scaring Li Yu, Meng Gui received a soundproofing card, saving him the points needed to exchange for it.
What else was needed? He needed to think carefully...
"Since this is your first free ghost zone, the system is giving you a special package, specifically for the elevator ghost zone." The ghost system suddenly spoke to Meng Gui.
"Great! What's in it?" Meng Gui was delighted and asked the ghost system.
"The package includes a flickering light card, an elevator movement card, and a phone interception card..."
"Flickering light card: When used, it can make the lights flicker intermittently for 10 minutes in a level 1 ghost zone, helping to create a scary atmosphere."
"Elevator movement card: When used, it can make the elevator move up and down according to your settings, putting great psychological pressure on the target."
"Phone interception card: When used, it can block the cell phone signal in the elevator and intercept any emergency calls made by the target."
"You can exchange for these cards from the system in the future." The ghost system explained to Meng Gui after introducing the package.
"Okay, that's great." Meng Gui felt that with this package, the elevator ghost zone was almost complete.
Everything was ready. Meng Gui hid himself near Zhi Feng Technology, ready to pull Huang Zhiqiang into his first free ghost zone at the right moment, scare and teach him a lesson, and force him to submit and pay the wages he owed.
He might even make the unscrupulous and deceitful boss pay a heavier price.
