It's time to become an evil god.

"..."

Upon hearing about the opportunity to enter Xushi Mental Hospital, Bai Ge's eyes lit up instantly. He had been worried about not having a chance to sneak into that awful place. After all, any legitimate way to enter that place would leave a record, which might attract the attention of the hospital.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tell me about this client's specific situation first."

The other party simply replied, "How confident are you about a paranormal event?"

"make a deal."

Bai Ge, who was recently worried about taking on a quest to level up to LV6, perked up immediately upon hearing about some good news and said, "Send me your clients' messages."

"I can only provide you with the client's address; I cannot say anything else."

"it is good."

A few minutes later, Bai Ge received an address and name in his email.

Wu Han.

Jianguo Residential Complex, Building A, Room 301

Without hesitation, Bai Ge immediately took a taxi there. Just to be on the safe side, he even wore a paper effigy. Although this guy's combat power was negligible, he could exert a full advantage in some strange aspects.

So it was forced to say goodbye to the newly updated spider, reluctantly but pretending to be very happy as it went out to work, otherwise next time it would be a choice between R'lyeh and Fukushima settlement for resources.

Jianguo Community is located in the southern suburbs of Xuchang. The communities in this area are mostly staff dormitories and urban villages built in the last century. The streets are narrow, the houses are old, and the facilities are outdated. Apart from some houses that have been demolished, the vast majority of the remaining residents are migrant workers.

Delivery drivers, porters, restaurant servers, sanitation workers—unlike the glittering skyscrapers and dazzling shopping malls of the city, these working people renting cheap apartments make up the most authentic scene of this city.

The taxi stopped in front of the old buildings. Bai Ge got out and followed the address to the Jianguo Residential Area. Perhaps due to Bai Ge's outstanding personal charm, the security guard mistook him for a thief and stopped him immediately.

The gray-haired security guard asked warily, "Who are you looking for?"

Bai Ge cleared his throat, professionally pulled out a hastily obtained, intimidating badge, and said, "Hello, I am an expert investigator from the 'Approaching Science' program. I'm here to see Mr. Wu Han in Room 301, Building A."

"Oh, so you're looking for Old Wu. Come in, come in."

The security guards barely stopped him, hurriedly saying, "You guys better hurry up and cure Old Wu. This guy has been acting strangely lately and has been causing us a lot of trouble. So many quack doctors have come, but none of them have worked."

"Oh?"

Bai Ge walked quickly towards room 301 in Building A. When he arrived at the door of room 301, a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) was hanging directly above the door. A yellow talisman was pasted on the wooden door, and the chanting of "Māmi Māmi Hūṃ" could be faintly heard coming from inside.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ge knocked on the door.

Footsteps came from behind the door, and a middle-aged man opened it. Looking at Bai Ge in front of him, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"broker."

Bai Ge uttered only one word, and the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly as he looked behind him.

Bai Ge followed his gaze and saw a Taoist priest holding a peach wood sword and a yellow talisman in his hand, chanting incantations.

Wu Han said apologetically, "Master Zhang is still performing the ritual. Why don't you come another day?"

"unnecessary."

Bai Ge calmly said, "If you insist that I come another day, I can only ask the master who performs the ritual what color urn he prefers beforehand."

The charlatan, who had been holding a mouthful of talisman water in his mouth and was about to spit it out, nearly choked to death. He spat out the water in one gulp, coughing incessantly, and stared at Bai Ge in front of him. "Young man, watch your words! Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!"

The charlatan said coldly, "You dare to question me? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."

Bai Ge directly showed his credentials from the "Approaching Science" program, and the charlatan's expression instantly changed.

Bai Ge calmly said, "You say you can exorcise evil spirits, you have to show some skills. Otherwise, how can I believe you?"

After thinking for a moment, the charlatan said, "Alright, I'll let you use your 'yin-yang eyes' to see what the underworld is like."

He walked up to Bai Ge, touched Bai Ge's forehead with one hand, and said, "Close your eyes and start imagining the most beautiful thing in your life right now."

Bai Ge did as instructed and slowly closed her eyes.

After a few seconds, the charlatan spoke again, "Hey patient, please watch your image. I just asked you to imagine the good things in life, not to touch your crotch, okay!"

Bai Ge kept her eyes tightly closed and said aggrievedly, "Master, you've misunderstood. I didn't touch your crotch."

The charlatan's lips twitched, and he said coldly, "Nonsense, you touched my crotch!"

Chapter Seventy-Four: Something Big Has Happened!

Fourth update, 9,000 words in four updates, that's my limit, time to sleep.

Bai Ge quickly looked down and saw a hand sneakily reaching out from Bai Ge's lower abdomen to grab the other person's crotch. Bai Ge's lips twitched instantly. Was he playing a game of tag with Bai Ge?

Seemingly noticing the murderous glare in his master's eyes, he quickly withdrew his hand in fright. Bai Ge coughed and said, "Excuse me, Master, please continue."

Master Zhang removed his hand from Bai Ge's forehead, and without anyone noticing, took out a small packet of powder from inside his wide Taoist robe, untied it, and held it in his hand. He pretended to chant incantations, then sprinkled the powder on Bai Ge's face, quickly took a small step back, and after a few seconds, whispered hypnotically in Bai Ge's ear, slowly saying, "You are now in hell."

Even though he was squinting, Bai Ge still trembled when he heard those words. He lowered his head silently and whispered an "Mmm."

Surprised that he had succeeded so easily, Master Zhang smirked and continued, "Tell me, what did you see in hell?"

"I……"

Bai Ge hesitated for a moment, then looked around and said, "All I see are terrifying succubi."

Master Zhang paused for a moment, then glanced furtively at the powder mixed in with his palm, muttering to himself.

It's not expired? How did this kid suddenly become a Taobao member?

He tentatively asked again, "What kind of hell are you in?"

"Descent into hell."

"Holy crap, there's such a hell?"

Wu Han, standing behind him, was horrified. He quickly grabbed Master Zhang's clothes and asked urgently, "Master Zhang, if I'm beyond saving, could you arrange for me to go to this kind of hell?"

Master Zhang clenched his fists, wanting to punch someone. "Why are you making a fuss here when you have nothing better to do?"

However, the next second Bai Ge opened his eyes, suddenly grabbed the other person's wrist, and revealed a contemptuous smile, "Huh? I've been wandering around the underworld and haven't seen any trace of Master Zhang?"

"I, this..."

When his usual hallucinogenic methods failed, Master Zhang turned pale with anxiety, his mind racing as he tried to come up with an excuse to cover it up.

Bai Ge, however, remained nonchalant. "What a coincidence. Master Zhang's ability to travel to the underworld doesn't seem to be very effective. I happen to know a little about it too. How about I send you to the underworld to meet him?"

"What do you want to do? Wait a minute, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless! I...I'm going to call the police!"

A sense of unease crept into Master Zhang's heart, especially from the other party's eerie, half-smiling expression. It seemed as if Fan Group was brewing a secret.

"I want to shock you, you little bull!"

Before Master Zhang could react, a strong electric current surged through his lower body. The intense pain instantly rendered him unable to move. His legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his crotch with his hands, his buttocks sticking out, completely motionless.

The middle-aged man behind him looked surprised and instinctively covered his crotch, asking nervously, "What are you doing? You, you, you, don't come any closer!"

Bai Ge walked to the door, locked it with a click, stared at Wu Han in front of him, pinched his nose and took it out of his backpack, saying, "Let's talk. The stench of death emanating from you is almost attracting the streamer Lao Ba next door."

Wu Han was immediately shocked. "How did you know?"

"Just speak honestly."

Bai Ge looked at the other person as if watching a show, and said, "Otherwise, you'll really be beyond saving later."

After hesitating for a long time, Wu Han stammered, "I'm in the antique business. A week ago, I bought a pair of celadon soul bottles at a street stall. They contained fragments of ashes from the dead. Soul bottles are considered rather eerie, so not many people are willing to collect them. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to sell them, so I'm thinking of taking my time."

"But I never expected that I would run into trouble just two days after I got back those celadon spirit bottles. At first, I dreamt that I was standing at home, and when I got up and looked out of the bedroom, I saw a woman in red standing downstairs, counting the floors. Later, the woman appeared at the entrance of the second-floor hallway, staring straight at me. Then she came to the third floor and into the hallway. Every day, the woman got closer and closer to me. Yesterday, she was already at my door!"

As Wu Han recounted this, a look of terror and unease crossed his face. "And every time I woke up from a nightmare, I discovered that something even more terrifying was yet to come. The first time I woke up, I saw a woman's figure reflected in the mirror, standing by the bedside, coldly scrutinizing me. At that time, I was experiencing sleep paralysis and couldn't move. The second time, I woke up in the middle of the night and looked out through the half-open door. I saw a female corpse hanging in the living room, her tongue sticking out, also looking at me like that. The third day, I even saw that female corpse lying on top of me in the mirror, smiling at me!"

"I was going crazy. I spent a fortune on psychologists, monks, and masters to perform rituals, but nothing worked! I even considered throwing away those celadon spirit bottles, but the next day, the name inexplicably reappeared in my house. I went back to find the stall owner who used to run the business, but something even more terrifying happened. The stall owner was found dead, his body lying in a gruesome state, his head and spine missing. But what's even more outrageous is that the police concluded it was suicide?"

What was originally an ordinary description, when told by Wu Han, became more terrifying than any ghost story.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ge said, "Since that thing appeared in Boss Wu's dream, why don't we go and see it in the dream?"

Wu Han was stunned. "Go into my dream? You can even enter my dream?"

Bai Ge walked up to Wu Han, grabbed his hand, and said, "Okay, but you might feel a little uncomfortable. The sleeping evil god awaits your arrival in your dreams."

Wu Han felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, as if his two eyelids were fighting. When he could no longer hold on, his head suddenly slumped down, which startled him awake.

However, in the blink of an eye, when he opened his eyes again, the young man and Master Zhang lying on the ground had both disappeared.

The furnishings inside seemed to have changed, becoming somewhat unreal.

The light outside the window was dim and gloomy as the sun set.

"How is this going?"

Wu Han seemed to suddenly realize something. "Am I dreaming? No, this dream is too real!"

His first instinct was to walk towards the door. If he were dreaming, he would definitely see the woman through the peephole!

Even in his sleep, Wu Han's heart pounded, his fear undiminished. He tiptoed to the door, squinted, and looked outside, but saw nothing.

"It seems she didn't show up this time."

Mr. Wu breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest. Turning around, he was suddenly startled to see a strange woman standing in the living room, her back to him! He was nearly scared out of his wits!

The eerie woman's face remained turned towards his bedroom, like a mannequin in a shopping mall, and she didn't utter a word, scaring Mr. Wu so much that he didn't dare to breathe.

If he saw this scene in real life, he might have a heart attack on the spot.

After a few seconds of silence, he cautiously began, "What exactly are you...?"

The next instant, a hand reached out from behind and tightly covered his mouth.

Shh, don't make a sound.

He glanced around and saw that Bai Ge had appeared behind him at some point.

Mr. Wu's wildly beating heart finally calmed down, while Bai Ge carefully tiptoed towards the female ghost, kneeling on the ground and lying down.

Seeing this, Mr. Wu was almost dumbfounded. His heart, which had just calmed down, started pounding wildly again. His lips twitched, and he gestured with his hands and mouthed, "What the hell are you doing! Don't be stupid."

"nothing."

Bai Ge turned her head and gestured, saying, "I just want to see if she's a human or a ghost."

"..."

Mr. Wu was internally screaming, "Are you out of your mind?!"
