Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

"But," Su Ming held up a finger, "it's only because you came all this way to scare me."

"So I'm giving you a chance to explain."

"Tell me, why are you seeking my life?"

He looked the ghost up and down.

His skin was deathly pale, his lips were purple, and there was a dent in his head.

The manner of death was obvious; he must have died from a fall.

The vengeful spirit stared at Su Ming with suspicion.

Even if the dead brain were pushed to its limit, it still wouldn't understand Su Ming's meaning.

Isn't it normal for it to seek revenge on the living?

Just like how people need to eat when they are hungry and drink when they are thirsty.

The vengeful ghost didn't know how to answer, so the school beauty answered for it.

Two words: "instinct".

"Instinct?" Su Ming stared intently at the ghost school beauty.

The school beauty turned her head away and explained, "To ghosts, anything with life will involuntarily draw near."

"But the existence of ghosts in the world is fundamentally composed of the most intense negative emotions they felt in life, such as fear, resentment, unwillingness, and jealousy."

"Therefore, when they approach living creatures, they will try every means to absorb the negative emotions of the living creatures in order to satisfy their needs."

Su Ming understood.

In other words, ghosts primarily absorb the negative emotions of the living.

Fear, breakdown, madness, and especially the despair of death, greatly satisfy the needs of ghosts.

It's like the human desire for delicious food.

Murder is the result of maximizing negative emotions.

Su Ming gave the ghost school beauty's hand a quick kiss: "As expected of the school beauty, you are so knowledgeable."

The school beauty didn't react.

At least judging from his expression, he didn't react.

only.

Su Ming heard the system notification sound.

This can be considered an alternative expression of feelings.

[Affection +10, Current Status: Stranger (35/200)]

Just as he was about to try kissing her again, the school beauty withdrew her hand.

Su Ming could only shrug and turn his gaze back to the Death-Reaping Ghost.

Now that we understand its situation, there's no need to keep it.

Su Ming shook his head regretfully at the Soul-Reaping Ghost.

"What a pity."

"I was thinking that if you cooperated, I wouldn't kill you."

"But you're not cooperating at all."

Even the vengeful ghosts were in a panic.

It's not that it's uncooperative; it's that it simply doesn't know how to answer.

In its haste, it tried to rush over and grab Su Ming.

This arrest led to trouble.

As soon as she raised her hand, the school beauty's black hair flew up.

Brush brush.

In less than half a second, it exploded on the spot, turning into a pile of minced meat.

It forgot that the school beauty queen was right here.

"How dare you! You actually tried to ambush me!"

Su Ming cursed and was about to completely kill the Soul Reaper when a system pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.

He immediately called out, "School beauty, wait a minute!"

[Detecting Abnormal Fluctuations]

[Unlock containment function]

[Scanning...]

Scan successful

[A "dangerous" ghost (severely injured) has been discovered. Should it be contained?]

Containment success rate: 100%

Containment successful. Initial loyalty increased to 60.

(Friendly reminder: If loyalty is below 60, there is a 90% chance of losing control. Please handle this with caution.)

"Containment function".

After Su Ming, the ghost who jumped off the building, was on the verge of death, he actually unlocked a new function.

To be precise, it should have appeared after the ghost school beauty severely injured the ghost who jumped off the building.

So weak.

It couldn't even withstand a single attack from the ghost school beauty's projection.

But at least it's at the danger level.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Ming made a decision.

"System, initiate containment."

[Ding! Containment orders are being executed...]

[Target: The Ghost Who Jumped Off a Building (Severely Crippled)]

[Success rate of capture: 100%]

In an instant, a dark halo appeared under Su Ming's feet, and several iron chains as thick as an arm rose from the ground.

Its surface was covered with dark red rust, exuding a chilling aura, and it seemed to be alive as it clung to the ghost who had jumped off the building.

When these chains appeared, even the school beauty took a step back, then stared thoughtfully at Su Ming's back, seemingly pondering something.

The ghost who jumped off the building didn't know what this was.

But the ghost's intuition told it that this was its only chance to survive.

So it not only didn't resist, but also cooperated very well.

The containment went very smoothly.

There might even be unexpected surprises.

A pop-up window has appeared displaying the page indicating successful containment.

[Ding! Containment successful!]

[Dangerous and Bizarre: The Ghost Who Jumped Off a Building]

[The ghost who jumped off the building is extremely cooperative; initial loyalty +10]

Loyalty: 70

[Current storage capacity: 1/2] (Increases as affinity and character development increase)

"You're clever!"

After making several choices, the ghost who jumped off the building finally made the right one and was given a chance to live.

As for getting out of control.

Su Ming was not worried at all.

At worst, I'll just give the school beauty a treat.

After the containment function was unlocked, Su Ming unlocked another new function.

[Unlock anomaly scanning function, range 500 meters]

(Friendly reminder: Completing the object's obsession, providing resources, and actively communicating with it can all increase loyalty.)

The obsession of the ghost who jumped off the building was the Lychee Hotel.

It died at the Lychee Hotel.

Therefore, Su Ming triggered a quest: [Obsession Quest (Jumping Ghost): Investigate the Lychee Hotel]

Initiating communication is simple; just talk to the ghost who jumped off the building more often.

Providing resources is the most important way to improve loyalty.

There are two types of resource feeding.

The first method is to capture negative emotions from living people, such as fear, despair, and breakdown.

The second method: feeding ghosts with ghosts, and the mutual devouring of ghosts is also a way of growth.

"No wonder the anomaly scanning function was unlocked."

Su Ming began scanning his surroundings.

A radar-type scanner appeared in front of us, with a range of 500 meters.

Upon scanning, Su Ming was stunned.

Seven red dots appeared in the scanner's circle, not counting the ghost school beauty and the ghost who jumped off the building.

The nearest red dot is only about 70 meters away, and it seems to be in the building across the street.

"So many?"

He was dumbfounded.

Are there really that many ghosts in the real world?

Are you kidding me?

He immediately grabbed the ghost school beauty's hand.

They've been caught.

But the feel isn't quite right.

Looking back, the school beauty was several meters away from him.

The ghost I caught was the one who jumped off a building.

No wonder it went so smoothly.

"Depend on."

Su Ming kicked the ghost who jumped off the building.

"Could you please stay away from me?"

"And also, I kicked you, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

The ghost who jumped off the building stared at Su Ming in bewilderment.

Su Ming rubbed his forehead.

This guy is incredibly dangerous and bizarre. When I kicked him, he didn't budge an inch, but I was the one whose foot hurt.

So Su Ming simply said it, pointing to the other side of the living room and yelling, "Fly out, understand?"

The ghost seemed to understand, and then chose to fly away.

"oops..."

Two words with a long trailing tone echoed in the living room.

Su Ming's face darkened.

But the school beauty laughed.

The wind is blowing in from the balcony.

It doesn't seem like a ghost, it seems like a signal of attraction.

Su Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Simulation games... are so much fun!

It's both exciting and visually appealing.
