It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Chapter 37 A Bond Forged in Life and Death

Back in the same male dormitory at the university, he was so scared by Zhang Mingyu that he soiled his pants... with excrement. Even now, when Li Xianyu sits on the toilet, he has to look down at it every now and then... He doesn't look at women as frequently or intently as he looks at his own poop.

Ever since he opened the door to this new world, the world inside has never been kind to him. Zhang Mingyu gave him a psychological trauma related to toilets, the Ouija board gave him a psychological trauma related to public restrooms, Qingqing gave him a psychological trauma related to sexual cultivation, and his great-grandmother gave him a psychological trauma related to women.

After enduring five silent and terrifying minutes, it was midnight. Li Xianyu sat on the toilet seat, his back straight, his muscles tense, wary of every corner in the darkness, especially under the partition.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the Ouija board did not appear, and everything was calm and peaceful. There were no strange noises in the toilet, and no suspicious shadows in the darkness.

Maybe she went out to play in the wild and won't be back tonight.

Perhaps she left after killing the person.

Li Xianyu's mind raced with various speculations, and he truly breathed a sigh of relief. Not having to confront the Ouija board head-on was undoubtedly a wonderful thing.

"I'll wait a while longer. If it still doesn't come, then it's not my fault. I can write it in the mission report in a completely honest way." Li Xianyu lit up his phone screen and excitedly browsed the "Ancient Demon" chat app.

Let's see what the big shots are talking about today.

It was all meaningless chatter in the group. The big shots seemed to be quite reluctant to talk about their daily tasks, and when they did say a few words, they would only touch on the subject briefly, probably because the company had a task confidentiality policy.

Originally, Li Xianyu wanted to peek into that world that was temporarily inaccessible through their chat.

Don't be fooled by these vengeful ghosts; they may be incredibly ferocious after death, but in the eyes of powerful bloodline figures, they're probably nothing more than cats and dogs.

Both Sanwu and Grandma have said that vengeful spirits are low-level monsters, and high-level players with top-tier gear are too lazy to fight them.

So, what kind of magnificent world is the world of bloodline?

The walking pile driver: "Seniors, I'm in the girls' dormitory at the University of Finance and Economics. How about I give you a live stream?"

His fingering was strikingly similar to Kato Taka's: "Despicable and shameless, but if you insist on doing a live stream, I might as well take a look."

[Deputy Minister of Medical Affairs] Li Shizhen: "If someone is young and doesn't follow the right path, and insists on doing live broadcasts, there's nothing we can do about it."

Vulcan: "Although I despise this behavior, your hands and feet are your own."

Li Bai: "Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? If there's a live stream, why not watch it?"

King Kong: "Ugh~"

Tongtong: "Pervert."

[Archived Administrator] Murphy: "Tongtong, are you still awake in the middle of the night? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

Tongtong: "I have to go to school. The little boy upstairs died in a car accident a few days ago. He came back tonight and came to my room looking for his eyeballs. He stood by the bed looking at me and asked if I had seen his eyeballs. I chased him out, and now he's peering out the window at me. He's missing his left eyeball, and his face is all rotten. It's keeping me up at night."

The little boy was peering out the window, his face mangled, his left eye socket hollow and bleeding. He silently watched the little girl inside the room...

After imagining this scene, Li Xianyu slowly shivered.

The walking pile driver: "Seniors, I'm not going to livestream that. I'm hiding in the girls' dormitory catching ghosts. Do you want me to livestream it for you?"

Li Bai: "utterly tasteless."

His finger gestures were strikingly similar to Kato Taka's: "I'm not looking, get lost."

Li Shizhen, Deputy Minister of Medical Affairs: "Young people, your mindset determines your path."

Vulcan: "I'm too old for this mess."

The walking pile driver: "I'm a little scared. Do you seniors have any secret methods for dealing with vengeful spirits?"

Thunder War Maiden: "Dealing with vengeful spirits is quite troublesome. We usually use the power of blood energy to intimidate and expel them, but we lack specific methods. Taoism and Buddhism do have many secret techniques. There are disciples of the Maoshan Sect in the group; I'll call him for you... Hey, where is Spirit Talisman True Lord? Did he leave the group or change his username?"

[Archives Department Administrator] Murphy: "He's long gone. Last month he applied to be transferred to the Xiangxi branch, and the personnel department approved it. It'll probably be hard to see him again."

Thunder War Maiden: "Why would you go to Xiangxi for no reason? So many colleagues are scrambling to get a job at headquarters. [Shocked]"

Li Bai: "Zhan Ji, half a year ago he was sent to Xiangxi to investigate a case of a vicious corpse injuring people. After returning, he wrote a report requesting to be transferred to Xiangxi."

Thunder Valkyrie: "What's the reason?"

His finger technique was strikingly similar to Kato Taka's: "I know that. He said he found love, but the other person is an abnormal being, so he can only stay in Sōsei."

Li Xianyu watched with great interest and typed a question: "What is an abnormal thing?"

Thunder War Maiden: "Everything other than humans."

Li Bai: "Ah, no wonder when I asked him, he said they were sworn brothers. This guy is different from other Maoshan Taoists; he's especially gentle with spirits. Could it be that he encountered a beautiful female ghost? Tsk tsk, what a lucky guy."

[Archives Administrator] Murphy: "He did it for love."

Tongtong: "A Chinese Ghost Story? I'm so envious."

King Kong: "What's there to envy? Women are shit, and female ghosts are shit too. Lingfu Zhenjun, have you lost your mind and given up such a promising future?"

Several women and a young girl in the group sent a "disgusted" emoji.

Vulcan: "I suddenly feel..."

Thunder War Maiden: "Uh... I only realized it now that Vulcan mentioned it."

Others chimed in.

Vulcan sent a series of hearty laughing emojis, feeling that although he was old, his mindset was still young. A love between a human and a spirit—wasn't that a bond forged in life and death?

The Walking Pile Driver: "Speaking of Xiangxi, I remember the corpse drivers were quite famous. Lingfu Zhenjun went to handle the incident of a fierce corpse injuring people... I think there's something even more profound about it."

Vulcan: "What's the meaning behind this?"

The walking pile driver: "Didn't any of you think of that...?"

The group chat suddenly fell silent.

System notification: The walking pile driver has been muted by administrator Murphy for three hours.

Li Xianyu: "..."

Everything has a reasonable explanation and scientific analysis, so why ban me?!

After a period of silence, the experts in the group started complaining.

Li Bai: "Is this newcomer a devil? Let's kick him out."

Vulcan: "Li Bai is right."

King Kong: "The God of Fire is right."

His finger gestures were strikingly similar to Kato Taka's: "Kicked it, kicked it."

Thunder Valkyrie: "..."

[Archiver] Murphy: "I'm increasingly certain that from now on his title will be 'Li Shizhen's Skin'."

Li Shizhen, Deputy Minister of Medical Affairs: "Give it a try."

Li Xianyu was scrolling through the comments section with great enthusiasm, watching the big shots make all sorts of sarcastic remarks. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt the air around him suddenly cool down, with gusts of cold wind blowing.

Do you have any paper?

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out in the quiet toilet.

"I don't have any paper..." Li Xianyu answered subconsciously, then the words caught in her throat.

There was no one else in the restroom except him. Who was the woman speaking?

The Ouija board has arrived...

Before Li Xianyu could turn on his flashlight, he turned his phone screen upside down and shone the dim light. The scene before him was so horrifying that Li Xianyu couldn't breathe.

In the next cubicle, under the partition, a woman's hand reached out. The pale hand looked as if it were coated with lime, and the black fingernails almost touched Li Xianyu's ankle.

What horrified him most was that there was a woman's face next to his hand, the face and hand were misaligned, as if there was a woman next door who squatted down, took off her head and put it on the ground, and then stretched out her hand and asked him: Do you have any paper?

"Do you have any paper...?" the woman said in a sinister voice.

The cell phone's glow illuminated her face, revealing pale skin covered with bluish-black veins, and eyes without pupils, only eerie whites.

Li Xianyu felt as if all the blood vessels in his body had frozen. His mind went blank, and he shakily pulled out the national emblem from his pocket and handed it to the female ghost: "I don't have any paper, this... is for you."

The female ghost seemed to have never encountered someone actually giving her something before, and subconsciously accepted it.

In an instant, her hand felt as if it had touched a red-hot iron, and blue smoke billowed out.

A piercing scream echoed from the toilet.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Xianyu escaped the cubicle like a wild dog, shouting into her phone at the same time, "She's out! She's out! Sanwu, help me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his right foot was suddenly grabbed.

His body stiffened, his blood congealing inch by inch. His face deathly pale, he turned around. The female ghost had somehow grabbed his ankle; she lay prone on the ground, a pool of crimson blood beneath her. Raising her face, covered in bluish-black veins, she snarled, "No paper? Give me your life..."

Her face rotted rapidly, maggots swarmed everywhere, her eyeballs rolled out, and thick black blood flowed from her mouth.

Downstairs in the dormitory, Sanwu turned around blankly and looked at his great-grandmother who was pressing on his shoulder.

Grandma narrowed her eyes: "The soldiers will still arrive on the battlefield in thirty seconds!"

Sanwu: "???"

The great-grandmother sighed, "If he doesn't experience more danger, how will the little brat be motivated to improve? Who the hell named him that has ruined my great-grandson's destiny?"

Li Xianyu's shrill scream came from the phone.
