Volume 1 Chapter 3 Phantom Spirit

  "Hey... you three wake up, the game is over!" The waitress gently shook awake the three girls who were lying on the ground, and somehow they had all fainted at some point.

  The first to wake up was Zhang Lan, the largest in the chest. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the waiter and suddenly jumped up, covering her chest with both hands, staring at him and saying: "What do you want to do?"

  "What's going on? How did we both pass out?" Qu Ting also looked a bit flustered as she checked her shorts, and only relaxed when she saw that nothing was out of the ordinary.

  "Huh? Where's that Jiang Qicai guy now?" Wang Shiyu vaguely remembered the previous events and still had many questions to ask him.

  "He's gone!" The waiter replied curtly.

  "Did he leave?" Wang Shiyu rubbed his still aching head and asked the two companions beside him, "Just now during the game, did you guys hear any strange footsteps?"

  "Ah!" Qu Ting and Zhang Lan both took a deep breath as they recalled what had just happened.

  "What's next?"

  "And then... I think I fainted!"

  "What on earth happened in between?"

  "I also want to know!"

  ……

  At the same time, in a four-star hotel several thousand meters away from "Black Ghost Bar".

  Jiang Qicai, sitting on the bed, also looked at his own wheel of reincarnation with a serious face. Jiang Qicai, who had collected thousands of wandering souls, had never encountered such a strange thing as the one in front of him!

  The reincarnation disk is jumping!

  Under no external influence, it suddenly started jumping irregularly on its own. Moreover, Jiang Qi only heard a faint sound struggling inside the wheel disk, wanting to communicate with himself!

  Jiang Qicai rubbed his eyes, confirming that his eyes had not experienced any hallucinations, and then moved his ears over, sticking them tightly to the wheel of reincarnation.

  "Let me out!" A sharp female voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Qi's ear.

  "Who are you?"

  "I'm the one you just brought in... Quick, let me out!"

  "Is that the female ghost with the mediocre breast touch?" Jiang Qi sneered, "Let you out? Dream on! Don't you know I'm a professional in this line? Tell me, what's your reason for wanting to be let out?"

  "I'm not an ordinary female ghost! I'm a spirit of illusion! You can also call me by my name from when I was alive, Ni Xue!"

  "I said, how could there be so many wandering spirits appearing suddenly! It turns out I encountered a phantom spirit!" What is called a phantom spirit is a ghost that can make people hallucinate. Of course, apart from their illusion techniques, they also have the ability to seal boundaries. Jiang Qi had already experienced all of these just now. In short, a phantom spirit is just a high-level ghost.

  "I don't care if you're a ghost or a demon, our relationship is like that of a cop and a thief. Have you ever heard of a cop catching a thief and then letting him go? Jiang Qicai continued to curl his lip and added, "Alright, no more nonsense! If it weren't for the fact that you look pretty good, I wouldn't even bother with you!"

  "Then can you tell me, what do you plan to do with me?" Ni Xue's voice suddenly became pitiful again. Probably seeing that the hard approach didn't work, so she came at it with a soft one.

  "I'll send you back to the demon realm and let all sorts of evil spirits rape you a hundred times, see if you dare to recklessly run out and scare people again!" Jiang Qicai laughed eerily, his voice even more ominous than Nie Xue's.

  "You... can you communicate with the spirit world? Are you even human?" Ni Xue's voice was filled with doubt again. "I've only heard that the Miao Shan Hou Yi can exorcise ghosts and demons, but I've never heard of those people being able to communicate with the spirit world! You... what exactly are you? Are you a Miao Shan Hou Yi?"

  Jiang Qicai stopped talking. His thoughts at this time had turned back to his childhood, probably when he was seven years old.

  Seven-year-old Jiang Qicai was a boy who grew up in a small fishing village in the south. Although he was only seven years old, Jiang Qicai already had some kind of spiritual ability.

  Jiang Qicai first saw something unclean in a river.

  That time, Jiang Qicai originally wanted to help his father catch a big fish that weighed at least three catties. However, as soon as he put his head into the water, before he could dive out far, he saw a strange and bizarre thing, like a giant baby's head, suddenly appear in front of him.

  Because the shock brought at that time was too great, Jiang Qi was particularly clear about remembering that the infant's head was extremely large, at least three times larger than Jiang Qi's own head. However, the infant's face happened to resemble a frog, with a pointed mouth and sunken cheeks, and on top of its head was a round, butterfly-shaped object covering it.

  Its gaze was as cold and piercing as river water, and when it stared motionlessly at Jiang Qicai, Jiang Qicai even felt a kind of deathly chill all over his body.

  At that time, Jiang Qicai was really frightened. He swam desperately to the shore. As a result, although nothing happened, Jiang Qicai had a high fever for a whole month before slowly recovering.

  The following year, Jiang Qicai began to feel a numbness on his forehead, as if something was about to grow out of it. By the time he was nine years old, the heavenly eye on his forehead had grown larger and clearer. He could see more and more strange things, such as the large tree that moved slowly in the middle of the night when he got up to urinate, a multi-tailed fox that was bigger than a lion, and a headless body that could move around freely...

  Too many strange events had made Jiang Qicai numb, until he finally got into a university in X City and bid farewell to the fishing village.

  Perhaps it was on the first day of school that Jiang Qicai's fate was completely changed by a group of robbers he encountered halfway.

  Jiang Qicai had actually died once before. He was robbed of his money and stabbed to death by those robbers. Jiang Qicai's death was also very unjust, if it weren't for the fact that all the passengers on that long-distance bus didn't dare to speak out, Jiang Qicai might not have died.

  Just as the robbers were about to drag away a beautiful girl, Jiang Qi finally stood up. Unfortunately, he was outnumbered and ended up being stabbed all over his body with knives, and was finally thrown into a smelly ditch. Fantasy Channel, more exciting content awaits you!

  Then Jiang Qicai had a strange dream. He dreamed that he came to a palace-like place, where a black-mouthed and black-faced judge told him that he was born with spiritual power and was a good material for doing things between the human world and the underworld.

  Every year, tens of millions of wandering spirits escape from the mortal realm. Jiang Qicai's task is to collect these wandering spirits into the Wheel of Reincarnation. For every 1,000 wandering spirits he collects, Jiang Qicai's spiritual power grows stronger and broader, allowing him to see more high-level demons and ghosts that are invisible to humans.

  Jiang Qicai originally thought this was the last strange dream he had before his death.

  But unexpectedly, Jiang Qi woke up 24 hours later and there was an additional compass-like object in his hand.

  From then on, Jiang Qicai began his new life as a ghost-catching expert.

  Now, Jiang Qicai has collected 999 wandering souls. Including Nie Xue, it's exactly 1000.

  Jiang Qicai was just about to adjust the value on the wheel of reincarnation, and when he corrected the value to 1000, Ni Xue's pleading voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Qicai's ear again!
