Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

“I’ll stay at Nanjing University and keep an eye on the swimming pool,” Chen Shi immediately said.

The victim died two years ago, yet the vengeful spirit has only now appeared. A top-tier vengeful spirit has revived, and three vengeful spirits have reappeared... Everything is happening too coincidentally. If there really is a mastermind behind this, the task is to find them.

He plans to wait and see at Nanjing University.

"Hmm, that makes perfect sense. No wonder he's the junior brother I've taken a liking to."

Jiang Liu said:

"Take a good rest today. If you need anything, give me a call. My number is on my business card. Contact me anytime."

After saying that, she flicked Chen Shi's forehead, picked up the violin case, and swayed away.

That's it?

Chen Shi touched his forehead.

According to the novel's plot, shouldn't the master take his apprentice through various dangerous dungeons at this point, obtain all sorts of powerful items, and then fight the boss?

Forget it, we can't rush it.

He gripped the rope tightly, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart; at least he had taken the most difficult step.

Chen Shi was in a good mood. He stretched and walked out of the swimming pool, where a wave of heat immediately hit him.

Next, he had to keep a close eye on the swimming pool and be wary of any suspicious individuals.

Just then, a splash of red flashed past my eyes, carrying the fragrance of crape myrtle blossoms.

"Finished talking?"

Su Yining's voice was crisp and clear, like a silver bell.

Looking back, Chen Shi had to admit that the summers in Nanhai City were indeed hot, but not as hot as the ghostly senior in front of him.

Chapter 10 Formal Cooperation

In the corridor, Su Yining sat on the railing, her figure as light and graceful as a cat.

In the sunlight, the red highlights in her hair stood out vividly, just like her flamboyant personality.

However, even though she shone like the sun, not a single student noticed her.

In the past, she would attract attention wherever she went on campus.

Now, no matter where she goes, no one can see her.

Apart from Chen Shi.

"Senior, you've been waiting outside the whole time? I thought you'd suddenly disappear like before."

Chen Shi looked up at Su Yining.

Under the bright sun, her figure appeared exceptionally slender.

"I originally wanted to chat with you a little longer, but that woman gave me a very uncomfortable feeling, so I came out first."

Su Yining grinned, thrust her hips forward, and jumped off the railing, landing in front of Chen Shi with a slight forward lean.

“Perfect timing, now that she’s gone, let’s talk about what just happened.”

"Senior sister, do you mean Du Ling?" Chen Shi asked knowingly.

As expected, Su Yining had a strong interest in the Soul Crossing Technique, though she didn't know why.

Seeing that he had successfully transferred the spirit, the ghost senior would definitely want to know more, which is why she had been waiting here.

"Of course, about three years after I died, I was constantly battling wits with those spirits, but no matter how much I beat them, they just wouldn't die."

Su Yining sighed:

"To be honest, at first I thought you were just pretending to be very skilled, but I didn't expect you to actually have some tricks up your sleeve."

Sorry, senior, I was indeed faking it.

Fearing that further investigation would expose the truth, Chen Shi quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic:

"So, senior, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Oh right... junior, how about we team up?"

"Cooperation?" Chen Shi became interested.

"correct."

As Su Yining spoke, she tiptoed around Chen Shi, as if she were dancing ballet—she always seemed to be constantly on the move.

"Although I don't know what your purpose is, you want to guide spirits, right?"

"That's true." Chen Shi nodded.

"In that case, as a spirit, I am resistant to the attacks and domains of malevolent spirits. If you want to deal with spirits, I can help you."

With one last leap, Su Yining jumped from her side to in front of her, her long hair falling down, her beautiful eyes like rubies beneath her wispy bangs.

"Hmm...that's true."

Chen Shi seemed to be deep in thought.

Su Yining is right. As a spirit, she has resistance to malevolent spirits. She cannot directly harm malevolent spirits, but since she is beyond the realm of "human," those malevolent spirits also cannot directly harm her.

In this situation, Su Yining can act as a counterbalance to the evil spirit.

Not only that, there's another point.

Su Yining can freely enter and exit the Spirit Cage!

If Jiang Liu was able to enter the Spirit Cage because of her "Special Grade Ferryman" strength, then Su Yining's ability to freely enter and exit the Spirit Cage is due to her special qualities.

This ability can sometimes play a crucial role.

Although they now possess magical artifacts, Su Yining's unique existence still allows her to effectively control malevolent spirits.

Objectively speaking, it does indeed have great value for cooperation.

Subjectively speaking, who could resist a popular and beautiful senior student?

Although it's a ghost.

"So, let's get straight to the point."

Chen Shi laid it all out and asked in return:

"Senior, cooperation is based on mutual benefit. What would you like me to do for you?"

"Hehe, that's very clever, it saves a lot of trouble."

Su Yining giggled and said:

"Junior, I need your help to find a body... my body."

"???"

What the heck?

Looking for a body?

Chen Shi was taken aback; this answer was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Oh dear, as you can see, I've already become a ghost."

Su Yining pursed her lips and said:

"To be honest, my memories of the past are very vague. I can't remember anything before I died; all my memories are very blurry."

At this point, a hint of bitterness appeared on her usually warm smile for the first time:

"I can't remember why I died, nor can I remember what happened when I died."

"Don't you remember anything at all?" Chen Shi asked.

"If I had to describe it, I remember being dismembered?"

Su Yining poked her lips with her index finger, her tone as calm as if she were asking, "What did you eat tonight?"

Chen Shi's face darkened.

Upon hearing this, it became clear that the victim in the dismemberment case was indeed Su Yining.

Also, senior, you're way too calm...

"Besides that, you can't remember anything else?" he asked.

"I can't remember clearly. My memory is very vague, like there are many fragments. When I don't think about it, it's like a kaleidoscope shattering in my mind. But when I try to pick up a fragment and look at it clearly, that part of the memory slips away from my fingertips."

Su Yining spread her hands:

"Access denied."

"So, senior, you're trying to recall things by searching for fragments of your own body?" Chen Shi concluded.

"Yes."

Su Yining nodded and smiled again:

"Although I can accept dying, wouldn't it be terrible to die without knowing why? What if they find some body parts and my memories are stimulated and awakened? That's how it's written in novels."

She laughed:

"As above, junior, I'll help you with the soul transfer and become your weapon. You help me find my corpse and assist me in regaining my memories, how about it?"

Su Yining looked at Chen Shi expectantly, her bright eyes sparkling like jewels.

"It's possible, but how do we find it?"

Although he was certain that Su Yining had no ill intentions, Chen Shi still wanted to ask her for clarification.

"Well... I don't know either." Su Yining glanced away.

"Senior, could you be any more casual...?"

Chen Shi was speechless; this ghostly senior was far too optimistic.

"Anyway, we'll just have to take it one step at a time. And I need to make sure that if we do find the body, someone can handle it for me," Su Yining said.

"To make contact for you?"

"Hmm... let me give you an example."

Su Yining looked around, picked out a lucky passerby, and walked over.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Su Yining passed directly through that classmate's body!

At the same time, that student suddenly shivered and muttered:

"Ouch, what's going on? It's suddenly so cold... Isn't this summer?"

He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the corridor except for a boy who was standing there dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. Then he left with a puzzled look on his face.

"I see." Chen Shi understood.

Su Yining cannot touch a person's body.

Aside from people like him who have the ability to see ghosts.

"See that?"

Su Yining walked back and shrugged:

“If things continue like this, even if I find my own corpse, I won’t be able to touch it.”

“So you need a medium, an intermediary to help you touch the world,” Chen Shi answered quickly.

"That's right!"

Su Yining snapped her fingers and then explained:

"I cannot touch a 'human' body, and correspondingly, normal people cannot touch me. However, you are an exception, junior."

As she spoke, she ruffled Chen Shi's hair again.
