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

run?

"Why are you running? What do you want to tell me?" Li Xianyu addressed him with a respectful title.

Zhang Mingyu floated in front of him, her face deathly pale. What was even more chilling was that her eyes had no pupils, only the whites. "Run...run fast."

Li Xianyu was initially too scared to move, like a little mouse cornered against a wall, his back pressed against the wall, both outwardly and inwardly panicked, but Zhang Mingyu didn't seem to have any intention of harming him.

Does he want me to run away?

Or perhaps he encountered something before he died, which is why he was so obsessed with escaping?

Li Xianyu tried to communicate with him, but Zhang Mingyu ignored him, just staring at him and repeating "Run, run!"

Feeling utterly uneasy under the gaze of those cataracts, Li Xianyu silently stepped aside and noticed that Zhang Mingyu continued to stare blankly at the wall, repeating the same lines over and over.

It turns out he wasn't looking at me.

Completely unable to communicate, how did a rich second-generation become the landlord's stupid son after his death?

Is this some kind of mentally challenged ghost who can't communicate? Is he exceptionally gifted, or are all spirits like this?

Li Xianyu has limited experience and cannot draw a definitive conclusion.

"Well then, please stay here for now. I'll take my leave first." Li Xianyu carefully walked around Zhang Mingyu and prepared to open the door and leave.

You can stay here if you want, your roommates can't see you anyway. The idiot doesn't seem harmful.

He has no tricks up his sleeve; his only ability is to see ghosts. The fact that Zhang Mingyu looked at him and didn't kill him suggests he's not a vengeful spirit.

Just as he was about to turn the doorknob, he suddenly heard Zhang Mingyu behind him mutter, "Xu Wei...run, run..."

Li Xianyu stopped, turned around, his face serious, and asked, "What happened to Xu Wei? What does 'run' mean?"

No matter how Li Xianyu asked, he was still unable to have a normal conversation with Zhang Mingyu.

Xu Wei is a well-known beauty in the Finance Department of the University of Finance and Economics. She is still single. She and Li Xianyu were classmates in junior high and high school and remained classmates in college. The two have a very good relationship.

Although Li Xianyu was a bit of a playboy, it was truly just pure friendship.

Why did Zhang Mingyu call out Xu Wei's name?

Was his death related to Xu Wei?

Or perhaps the person she was with last night was Xu Wei, and something must have happened afterward, which is why Zhang Mingyu shouted "Run!"

He wasn't in the mood to investigate the heartbreaking fact that the rich second-generation had hooked up with another school beauty. It concerned his friend Xu Wei, and he had to find out the truth.

Li Xianyu left behind his mentally challenged soul, pushed open the door and went out, "Guangtai, I'm going out for a bit."

He had just left the house when he turned back, pulled a clean pair of underwear from the closet, and walked into the bathroom with a dark expression.

There's poop in my crotch...

Damn it.

He was so frightened by Zhang Mingyu that he let out a humiliating scream, completely forgetting that he hadn't wiped his butt yet.

He couldn't wear his underwear anymore, but luckily he had left a few sets of clean clothes in his dorm room in case of emergency. After taking a shower, Li Xianyu carefully washed his no-longer-pure underwear.

Li Xianyu is a clean freak, but his underwear is high-end, costing two hundred yuan a pair, and he can't bear to throw it away. Men should learn to be frugal, but they must have a few pairs of expensive sneakers and a few pairs of high-quality underwear (censorship is so annoying).

This is what his sister said.

Li Xianyu asked, "Where is that woman?"

The older sister's answer: Why should women be frugal?

He wrung out the soap until it burned his palms, then hung it on the dormitory balcony to dry. Afterward, he went downstairs, called Xu Wei, but her phone was off, and headed straight for the girls' dormitory.

The girls' dormitory and the boys' dormitory were not far apart, a five-minute walk. When he arrived at the girls' dormitory building, he grabbed a girl and said, "Excuse me, could you please call Xu Wei from room 502?"

The female classmate looked him over carefully for a few moments, seemingly mistaking him for Xu Wei's suitor. She then said in a crisp voice, "Oh, wait a minute."

He strode into the building, and a few minutes later, a head popped out of a window at the end of the fifth-floor corridor, directly above Li Xianyu. The girl from before called out, "Excuse me, Xu Wei is on leave and isn't in the dorm."

Li Xianyu frowned and replied, "Oh, thank you."

Now that things have come to this, even without asking Yuanfang, he knows there must be something fishy about this.

Should we call the police?

If we call the police, what should he say?

Dear sirs, I have a secret to report: Zhang Mingyu's death is related to Xu Wei... How do I know this, you ask?

Oh, I am a descendant of the legendary ancient demon bloodline, capable of seeing ghosts!

It would be a miracle if the police believed him.

Like him, Xu Wei didn't live on campus; she rented an apartment near the school. As a close friend of the opposite sex who had known each other for many years and enjoyed each other's company, Li Xianyu naturally knew Xu Wei's address.

He planned to go and look for her. If she wasn't in the rented apartment and he couldn't contact her, he would call the police.

Just to be on the safe side, Li Xianyu called his great-grandmother for instructions and briefly explained the situation.

The sound of clattering keyboards came from the other end of the phone, along with Grandma's clear voice: "Then go and take a look. What are you chickening out for? If you encounter danger, just mash the keyboard and unleash all your skills."

Li Xianyu's noodles trembled. "Great-grandmother, I have to remind you, I'm not my dead father, I'm still a level zero alt."

"My dear grandson, your great-grandmother must remind you that your character is level zero, and your pet is also level zero. You can't expect a level zero pet to help you fight monsters or tank damage. If you really encounter danger, your great-grandmother won't be able to help you either." The great-grandmother said this casually.

"I... I'd better not meddle in other people's business."

"How could the men of my Li family be so cowardly?" The great-grandmother was exasperated. "How can you become a capable and independent person like this? You are no longer the Li Xianyu you used to be. You are..."

"Niohuru, who envies fish?"

Grandma was taken aback. "Don't scare yourself. The world isn't that dangerous. You've lived to be twenty, haven't you?"

"That's true," Li Xianyu said.

I'm being too sensitive.

So he took a taxi straight to Li Wei's place, an old residential area a fifteen-minute drive from the university. The surrounding buildings, both residential and office, all exuded an air of age.

This area was a town a little over a decade ago, so it's full of old residential complexes, the kind without elevators. But the housing prices have skyrocketed to an average of 60,000 yuan per square meter.

There are countless such neighborhoods within the inner ring road, and a common saying goes: "If the villagers just hold on for a few more years, the government will be coming to demolish their homes soon!"

The people spreading this rumor are seriously overestimating the government's financial resources...

Li Xianyu's biological father originally left him this old house, but his adoptive father later sold it, bought a new property, and also made a fortune from his adopted son.

The adoptive father said with emotion that he originally wanted to wait for the government to demolish the old house and relocate it, so that his family would suddenly have several more houses. But after waiting for several years, he realized that demolition and relocation are just a myth. At least they sold the old house, bought a new one, and made millions for free.

Later, Li Xianyu righteously demanded that his adoptive father split the "million" with him, but his adoptive father responded with a resounding "no," saying, "Back then, I almost went bankrupt just to get you registered as a child. You want money? Go find the government."

I went downstairs and pressed the call button next to the security door. After a while, a soft, charming voice came from the speaker: "Who is it?"

Xu Wei's voice!

Li Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's me, Li Xianyu."

"...Is there something you need?"

"Nonsense!" Li Xianyu said irritably, "Open the door, I'll talk to you upstairs."

"Click!"

The building's security door opened, and Li Xianyu entered smoothly. Xu Wei's home was on the sixth floor, the top floor. By the time Li Xianyu reached the sixth floor, he was already panting heavily. In the past, this amount of exercise would have been nothing... Enough said, it's all tears.

He knocked on the door a few times, and Xu Wei came in. She was wearing loose pajamas and stood gracefully with a beautiful oval face, fair skin, and a tall figure.

Why didn't you go to school today?

Since they were already quite familiar with each other, Li Xianyu didn't stand on ceremony. He went straight inside, found a can of juice in the refrigerator, stood by it, opened it, and started gulping it down.

Xu Wei frowned, her eyes darting around, and said helplessly, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm taking the day off."

Li Xianyu snorted, "I'm afraid that's not the reason."

Xu Wei's pretty face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Is Zhang Mingyu's death related to you?" Li Xianyu looked directly into her eyes: "You were the one who had a secret rendezvous with him in the library's back garden last night, weren't you?"

Xu Wei's face turned pale.

really!

Li Xianyu said with great distress, "You don't seem like that kind of carefree girl. What happened? Tell me quickly. If I can help, just say so."

Xu Wei bit her lip and continued to shake her head: "I don't know what you're talking about. Zhang Mingyu's death has nothing to do with me."

Li Xianyu frowned: "Alright, I'll talk to the police later. Anyway, they're looking for the woman from that night. Let the police decide for themselves whether it's you or not."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"etc!"

After her expression changed several times, Xu Wei finally couldn't help but call out to Li Xianyu.
