Chapter 9: The Eccentric Club

  The next day. 3 Inside the hotel.

  After Jiang Qicai returned the thousand or so wandering souls he had collected over the years to the Netherworld, the spiritual energy emanating from the Wheel of Reincarnation passed through his hands and spread throughout his body like an electric current.

  Jiang Qicai and Mojie's communication tool currently only has the reincarnation disk. Although it's unbelievable, it's indeed very convenient. As long as you adjust the value displayed on the reincarnation disk to 1000, the task is considered complete.

  At this moment, Jiang Qicai felt that his whole body was like taking Viagra, vigorous and powerful. With every move, glance, and gesture, not only did his vision and strength surpass before, but Jiang Qicai also clearly felt the wheel of reincarnation on his hand growing larger in shape as his spiritual power increased.

  At the same time, in addition to the functions of "collection", "absorption" and "release" on the wheel of reincarnation, there are also two more functions: "seal" and "gather spirit". Does this mean that I will also have the effect of being invincible within a certain area like those high-level soul spirits in the future?

  I don't know if the "Seal" function is useful for ordinary humans. Also, what's with that "Spirit Gathering"?

  Jiang Qicai's thoughts fluctuated, and he decided to try out the "Spirit Gathering" function to see what it was used for. Jiang Qicai took a deep breath, carefully pressed the button corresponding to "Spirit Gathering", and suddenly felt his entire body's spiritual energy surging towards the center of his right hand. At the same time, his entire arm was enveloped in a bright white light that flashed dazzlingly.

  There seemed to be an extremely powerful magnetic field that involuntarily pulled Jiang Qicai's entire body over. Jiang Qicai immediately exerted force to counteract this magnetic field. As his mind wandered, strange things happened, and Jiang Qicai felt that this mysterious and invisible spiritual power seemed to change with his thoughts.

  Jiang Qicai quickly grasped the direction of this spiritual energy, and at the same time, Jiang Qicai slowly controlled it to wander throughout his body, and then flowed back into his right hand like water.

  In an instant, a large white light burst forth from Jiang Qicai's hands, his face illuminated by the intense glow, making him look like a mysterious and ancient wizard.

  However, Jiang Qicai controlled the spiritual energy and played with it for a while, but still couldn't figure out its actual use. Just as Jiang Qicai was about to give up due to boredom, the TV in front of him, which was playing a martial arts drama, suddenly emitted an ancient voice with a peculiar tone. The voice first burst into laughter, then slowly and clearly said: "I've long heard that Chu Xiang's lightness skill is unparalleled in the world. Today, I see it for myself, and indeed, its reputation is not exaggerated!"

  Jiang Qicai's eyes lit up as he heard this, "Qinggong?"

  Jiang Qicai quickly concentrated all his spiritual energy on the soles of his feet, and indeed at this time Jiang Qicai felt as if he was completely in a cloud-like cotton, that feeling was light and comfortable.

  Jiang Qicai took a deep breath, jumped up with force, and heard a "bang" as his head directly hit the ceiling. This jump was at least over one meter. Jiang Qicai was overjoyed in his heart, hastily put on his clothes, packed up the wheel of reincarnation, ran out of the hotel, found an unmanned corner, and jumped again with even greater force.

  In an instant, Jiang Qi directly sprang up onto a tall poplar tree by the side of the road.

  Looking down, Jiang Qi only discovered that he was at least over three meters away from the ground. And the distance of this jump also exceeded five meters.

  Jiang Qicai was completely stunned by his own sudden and inexplicable "divine power". But at this moment, as soon as his will relaxed, all the spiritual energy dissipated, Jiang Qicai lost his balance and fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, Jiang Qicai's quick reflexes allowed him to land on both legs just in time, avoiding a concussion.

  At this time, Jiang Qi's heart was filled with indescribable joy.

  If one day I have even more spiritual power, wouldn't I be just like Chu Liuxiang in modern cities?

  Jiang Qicai was just getting happy when his mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

  Jiang Qicai took out his mobile phone and glanced at the number, finding it unfamiliar. However, after pressing the call button, the voice that came from inside sounded somewhat familiar to him.

  "Hey, hello, is this Jiang Qicai? I...I'm Wang Shiyu, do you still remember me?"

  "Ah, of course, we just met yesterday! What's up?" Jiang Qicai said as he walked back in the direction of the hotel.

  "Yesterday's thing... uh, I'm really sorry, I've already explained to Xiaolan with Tingting later, sigh... don't blame her, she just has that kind of temper!"

  Jiang Qicai laughed into the phone, "You called me, it's not just to help her apologize, is there something that can be said directly?"

  "Jiang Qicai, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" Wang Shiyu suddenly asked.

  "Do you believe it?" Jiang Qicai retorted.

  "I didn't believe it at first, but after the last game and this time's incident, I keep feeling that in this world... there really is something unclean! It's extremely frightening!"

  Jiang Qicai switched the phone from his right hand to his left, saying calmly: "You're wrong! Even if there really are ghosts in this world, they're not scary at all! What's most terrifying is humans, humans are scarier than ghosts!" As Jiang Qicai spoke, he let out a sigh. The murder scene from yesterday was indeed more frightening to him than any real ghost or monster.

  "Really? I know I'm asking you now, but you won't answer either... Never mind, actually, are you free tonight? I want you to accompany me somewhere!"

  "Where are we going? Why should I go with you?" Jiang Qí cāi furrowed his brow.

  "That place is called the Strange People Club, where many people have experienced extremely terrifying and bizarre things. There are also many extraordinary people with special skills who often come and go there. I hope to find the answer to what happened yesterday! I don't believe that what I and Tingting, Xiaolan saw were just hallucinations. And... to be honest, I always feel that you have too many unsolved mysteries on your body. For example, why did you appear there yesterday? You can't possibly go there for no reason, so I think you're definitely not an ordinary person either. If you're not an ordinary person, then of course you'll also be interested in the Strange People Club!"

  Jiang Qicai thought for a moment and said: "If I agree to you so quickly, won't it seem like I'm losing face? Won't it seem like I'm..."

  "Hehe! Then I'll treat you to dinner, okay?" Wang Shiyu smiled somewhat unnaturally, interrupting Jiang Qicai's words. Jiang Qicai remained silent, as if he was considering it.

  "Do you often invite others to dinner?" After a long time, Jiang Qi finally spoke up and asked.

  "No, I...I've never asked a boy out for dinner before!" By the end of her sentence, Wang Shiyu's voice had almost become inaudible.

  "Alright, what time tomorrow night? Where are we meeting?"
