The world that only ghosts know

  Xiao Qian gave me a phone number and asked me to contact the agent. After connecting the call, there was a young man's voice on the other end of the line, which felt somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place who it was.

  Finally we agreed to meet at a coffee shop, but unexpectedly, when we met, we were both shocked. The agent was none other than my sleazy class teacher!

  "Teacher, how did you...?" My mouth twitched uncontrollably, and the teacher's face didn't look much better. "Hao Shuang, didn't you ask me to come?"

  "This might be a misunderstanding, what a coincidence, teacher." I didn't want to admit that he was the agent Xiao Qian mentioned, so I made up an excuse and went into the bathroom. I asked Xiao Qian what was going on, and she innocently said: "It's really him, isn't it? He's your teacher?"

  "Our class teacher." I sighed, really didn't expect that he was the legendary agent, this could only make me feel: The world is so small.

  After hesitating for a while, I returned to my seat. The class teacher also calmed down and sipped the coffee in his hand carefully. "Hao Shuang, I am indeed an agent. Let's not discuss the relationship between teachers and students for now. Let's talk about the main issue."

  I nodded and handed the black bottle to the head teacher, who looked at it with a sudden look of surprise on his face, his eyes wide with excitement, "This, this, Hao Shuang, where did you catch this thing?"

  "What's wrong with this suburban area? Is there something strange about this cat?" I also felt curious, looking at it like that, this yellow and white cat seemed to be not ordinary.

  "No wonder, no wonder..." The class teacher muttered to himself, occasionally swallowing his saliva. Was he nervous?

  I asked weakly: "Teacher, how much money can this little guy be exchanged for?"

  "50,000 is fine, no, 60,000!" My class teacher gazed deeply into my eyes with a kind of piercing stare that made me feel uneasy.

  To be honest, I was shocked by the price given by the teacher: "You, you're not kidding, right? This thing is worth 600,000 yuan?"

  "You don't want to? Alright, I'll give you 700,000 at most! Can't go any higher than that!" The class teacher stood up excitedly, scaring the surrounding customers, I was embarrassed and quickly persuaded the teacher to sit down and calm down.

  How can a ordinary cat be worth so much money? This is somewhat unbelievable, what's going on here?

  To clarify the situation, I told the class teacher that I had been urinating frequently and urgently lately, so I took the opportunity to ask Xiang Xiang in the toilet. Xiang Xiang was also confused, "It's strange, I don't understand either. Normally, this little animal is only worth one or two thousand yuan, at most four or five thousand. It can sell for 700,000 yuan, it's my first time seeing this."

  Back to the seat, the head teacher asked me again about my thoughts. I was completely at a loss and asked, "Teacher, can you please tell me first, what is this cat thing that's so valuable?"

  "You said this is a kitten?" The class teacher's face was full of surprise. "This is the cub of a celestial tiger, do you understand or not?"

  "Hmm, a tiger, no wonder." I suddenly thought that in the mortal realm, tigers are protected animals and are very rare. In other words, in the spiritual realm, this thing is also very precious?

  "It's not an ordinary tiger, it's a Heavenly Tiger! The teacher needs this thing the most right now! In those days, I could urinate against the wind for three meters, but nowadays, with the wind at my back, I can only manage one shoe! The Heavenly Tiger is an extremely yang object, if I can absorb the yang energy from this little guy's body, I, the teacher, can regain my vigor!" The class advisor's breathing was a bit urgent, it seems he really wants this thing.

  "Then it's a deal..." I thought for a moment, and considering the 70,000 yuan, I decided to sell it. But suddenly, my phone rang with Xiaoxian's voice: "No way!"

  The class teacher asked me what sound it was, I smiled and explained that it was my weird mobile phone ringtone, and lied to the teacher saying I had a frequent urination urgency, then went into the toilet.

  "What's wrong with Xiao Qian?" I asked helplessly. "I don't have any use for it myself, and I can exchange it for 700,000 yuan, so I might as well sell it."

  "Things are not as simple as I imagined. My sister told me that Tianling Tiger is a priceless treasure with many uses, and it can't be sold easily."

  "What about your clothes and bags, then?" I thought it didn't matter, since this thing was so profitable, couldn't we just catch a few more small animal souls another day?

  You might ask me, 700,000 yuan, isn't that enough to become a small tycoon overnight? How could I be so stupid? But my thinking is, this heavenly tiger is still young, if I raise it to adulthood, how much would it be worth then, tens of millions or hundreds of millions?

  The principle is very simple, let's just say that you sell piglets, how much does each cost? And if you sell well-raised big pigs, how much can they be worth?

  "We can buy those things next time, it's not too difficult to catch a beast soul." Little Qian said somewhat dejectedly.

  Because of Xiao Qian's compromise, I refused the class teacher after going out, saying that it was useful to keep it. The class teacher listened and instantly cried with a sad face, almost wanting to kneel down and beg me. Now I want to leave, but still holding my leg and not letting go, the whimpering sound attracts everyone's attention in the store: "Hao Shuang, Teacher is begging you, okay?! Sell it to me! I'll give you 100,000 yuan, is that okay?! Don't go, okay?! Can you bear to see your teacher become useless at a young age? Ah...".

  I couldn't bear it, if the class teacher was telling the truth, he was too pitiful. I felt a twinge of guilt in my heart and finally said with a full sense of apology: "Teacher, don't be sad, next time I'll go catch another beast soul to replenish your yang energy for you, okay? I'll give it to you for free!"

  "Alright, it's settled then. No backing out!" The class advisor wiped away two tears before letting me leave.

  Back home, I asked Xiang what to do with this little cat... no, can't call it a little cat anymore, have to call it Tianling Tiger. I asked Xiang how to deal with this little Tianling Tiger, and she thought for a moment before saying: "First, let's give it a name, calling it Little Tianling Tiger doesn't sound quite right."

  "What's that? Is it a kitten?" I asked curiously.

  Xiao Qian disagreed and said: "Too girly, after all, he's still a tiger?"

  "I muttered: 'That tyrannical point... is called, is called Digao Ultraman, okay?'"

  "Not good, too Westernized." I suppose Xiao Qian doesn't know what Ultraman is either. Forget it, I won't tease her anymore. "How about calling it Little Monster?"

  "This won't do, it's obviously so cute." Xiao Qian firmly opposed, I thought of a few more names, such as Ostroumovsky, Ultimate War God, Bozhiji, all were vetoed, I was very unhappy in my heart: "Really troublesome, you think of one yourself."

  Xiao Qian paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "I've got it! Let's just call it Little Dog, okay? It's domineering and has character, that's settled then!"

  Xiao Qian didn't ask for my opinion, so this poor Tianling Tiger was called Little Dog by us. Oh, you little dog, where did your dad go? Let him come back and save you.

  In the end, this "little dog" became a pet that I and Xiao Qian raised together. But according to Xiao Qian's words, this black bottle could only hold one "little dog"... No, if you want to capture other beast souls, you need to buy another black bottle.

  But what I didn't know was that the black bottle I bought was the cheapest kind among all soul-catching bottles, originally priced at 998, now only 50 yuan. And this cheap bottle has a very low probability of catching beast souls, probably only once in a thousand times, and generally, it can only catch very low-level beast souls.

  And I caught such a precious species as soon as I came up, which is really due to my kidney. People with good kidneys have really good luck.

  Because I didn't have any available soul bottles in hand, and ordering on Taobao would take a few days to arrive, so on Sunday I was idle for the whole day.

  My sister's life is quite fulfilling. In a day, apart from cooking for me and studying, she also goes out to do part-time jobs, go shopping, and play with friends.

  I also want such a life, of course just thinking about it. I hate troublesome things the most, for example, going to catch beast souls is not only tiring but also not fun, it's better to stay at home and watch that kind of movie, then masturbate a few times.

  On Monday, I returned to school and was still idle during class. Xiao Qian also came to school but said she had something to do and ran off somewhere. The soul detector didn't produce anything new, played with it for a while, felt really bored, and lay on the table thinking of taking a nap.

  Unexpectedly, soon after I lay down, I felt the back of my head being hit by something, it didn't hurt, but it was very unpleasant.

  I was a bit sleepy and thought maybe it was someone else who threw it unintentionally, so I didn't pay attention. However, half a minute later, the back of my head was hit several times again.

  I sat up and looked back, Chen Fei was already fast asleep in his seat, motionless. On the ground were several crumpled up pieces of paper that had been used before. It must have been someone who used these to hit me just now.

  Isn't it Chen Fei? Then who could it be? Could someone have flown a plane in class? And after flying, they threw away the toilet paper randomly? This... this... this is quite daring!

  Glanced back twice, didn't find any suspicious person, with my temper, nothing to say, turned back and continued sleeping.

  I'm a bit excited, thinking that after falling asleep, I should be able to dream about some restricted scenes. Okay, the foreplay is starting, and it's about to move on to the next step of "action". Suddenly, I feel a pain in the back of my head, and I'm shocked awake. I'm extremely angry and numb, who is it? Is the chrysanthemum itching or not?!

  "Who?" I immediately turned back and stared, except for Chen Fei who was sleeping, all my classmates were looking at me inexplicably.

  "Who threw it?" I asked again, and several classmates behind me shook their heads. I think they must have known, but just didn't want to tell me.

  You're really something, don't you know the preciousness of spring dreams? Our great poet Bai Juyi wrote such a poem over a thousand years ago: "Coming like a spring dream, how many times? Going like morning clouds, no place to be found." You, the classmate who threw paper balls at me, aren't you ashamed of your behavior?

  "Hao Shuang, stop looking. It was Liu Jianbin who threw it away." Fan Jianqiang patted my shoulder and said with a helpless shake of his head. I stared at him in disbelief.

  Liu Jianbin sat behind Chen Fei, head down doing his homework, as if nothing had ever happened. Looking closely at his expression, he seemed a bit flustered.

  "Are you sure it's really him?" I asked Fan Jianqiang. Fan Jianqiang said that he had just seen it with his own eyes, and did he have a grudge against me?

  "No, maybe he's looking for me about something, I'll find him after class." I casually replied with a couple of sentences, and Fan Jianqiang continued to focus on the lesson.

  Anyone with eyes can see that this is absolutely not about finding me for something, who has ever seen someone use so many toilet paper rolls to find someone? It's not like he's asking me to help him play a prank.

  However, from what I know of him, Liu Jianbin is a very honest student with average grades but works extremely hard. How could he be so arrogant as to come and bother me?

  Halfway through the class, I got sleepy again. But when I lay down, Liu Jianbin threw a paper at me. I finally couldn't bear it and turned back to shout loudly: "Liu Jianbin, what are you doing?"

  Everyone's eyes were focused on me, and the class also quieted down. The teacher must have been staring at me too. Liu Jianbin looked up with a look of distress, his eyebrows furrowed, sweat beading on his forehead, looking wronged, but he didn't say a word.

  "What are you doing? It's time for class!" the teacher on the platform shouted angrily. I was about to turn my head back when Chen Fei, who was lying on the desk, suddenly woke up: "Shut up, coward! Who's yelling at you?"
