Chapter 24 – Can’t beat it, just run? Backhand two sticks


"Sigh."

 

Wang Fang sighed silently in her heart and refocused her attention on the surveillance.

 

"I want to see how well this young man you're so confident in can handle a few houses," she thought to herself.

 

In the current surveillance footage, Chronicle Brother had finished eating the apple and walked to the door of another house.

 

Knock, knock, knock…

 

He knocked on the door a few times but received no response.

 

Looking at the dark window, he took a few steps back, exerted a gentle force with his arm, and the apple core in his hand hit the second-floor window with a "thud."

 

"Can't believe they're sleeping so soundly."

 

Chronicle Brother thought to himself, shifting his gaze to Osiris beside him.

 

Seven Brothers immediately turned around and lightly tapped the direction of the door with his Mourning Staff.

 

A cold wind blew, and white mist floated in the air. The anti-theft door made of alloy automatically opened.

 

Chronicle Brother pushed the door open and, under the protection of Osiris, walked step by step towards the staircase.

 

Just as he was about to go upstairs to investigate, the door behind him closed heavily with a "bang."

 

Although he had the protection of the Mountain Ghost Coin, Chronicle Brother was still somewhat worried about the classic "face-to-face kill" scene in horror movies.

 

It's not that he was scared, but he felt a bit disgusted.

 

Without turning around, he simply called out "Seven Brothers."

 

At the next moment, Osiris tapped the ground with the end of his Mourning Staff, and a strong wave of Yin energy instantly swept through the entire room.

 

At this moment, Chronicle Brother looked around again, as if activating the Observation Haki from One Piece or wearing a certain high-tech glasses.

 

In short, everything in the first-floor hall was clearly visible to him.

 

Looking around, he quickly noticed a shadow moving at an extremely fast speed in the living room.

 

If it weren't for his enhanced vision due to the feedback reinforcement of his vision card and his heightened sensitivity to Yin energy in his current state, it would be difficult to spot this guy.

 

"Seven Brothers, go." Chronicle Brother commanded in his mind.

 

Time waits for no one.

 

Since he was here to make money, he shouldn't waste any time and should act as quickly as possible.

 

Under his mental stimulation, Seven Brothers' speed was faster than when he "saved the building" a few days ago.

 

A slender figure used the Ghost Shadow Step technique to move around in the dark room, as if performing some grand and bizarre ritual.

 

The ghostly figure, which moved at an extremely fast speed, seemed to sense the terrifying presence coming towards it and immediately burst into an even faster speed, trying to pounce on Chronicle Brother.

 

But before it could move, the powerful and eerie figure, enveloped in dense Yin energy, collided with it like a speeding truck.

 

The next moment, it was like a lone boat in a storm or like Chronicle Brother a second ago, rolling and flying more than ten meters away…

 

No, before it could fly away, it was dragged back by an ethereal chain.

 

The entire ghostly figure was almost torn in half.

 

But the white-robed god didn't continue to trouble this insignificant ghost; he simply swung his staff elegantly and broke its legs.

 

Normally, ghosts don't have legs.

 

But after these two moves, the stealthy and eerie ghost lost its ability to move in a very "unscientific" way.

 

It could only watch as Chronicle Brother slowly approached, and in the blink of an eye, it was captured in a blank card.

 

"Another white material."

 

Chronicle Brother couldn't help but frown.

 

He originally thought that this seemingly capable little ghost would be a "green" material, but it turned out to be another white one.

 

But as the saying goes, quantity over quality.

 

Putting his mood in order, Chronicle Brother quickly took out a cloth bag from his coat pocket and threw the material into it.

 

His movements were as skilled as the old men and women who lined up outside the pharmacy to listen to lectures and receive eggs.

 

After searching the living room carefully and not finding any other ghostly figures, he headed straight to the second floor with Seven Brothers.

 

Obviously, these houses were directly "copied and pasted" both in terms of appearance and interior decoration.

 

As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he saw two doors sealed with wooden planks and one normal door.

 

If someone else lived here, Chronicle Brother might have been more discreet.

 

But he knew that Chen Yuan lived inside.

 

So he kicked the door open with one foot.

 

Inside, he saw Chen Yuan, who had a big smile on his face and was sleeping like a dead pig, being hugged by an extremely ugly and evil ghost.

 

For some reason, Chronicle Brother suddenly had a strange déjà vu.

 

His phone unconsciously came out.

 

With a snap, he captured this beautiful scene.

 

And this sound startled the sleeping Chen Yuan.

 

He groggily opened his eyes and saw Chronicle Brother standing at the door. Just as he said "Brother," he felt a force supporting him rapidly retreating.

 

With a loud crash, he fell onto the bunk bed.

 

This crash completely woke him up.

 

"Brother, what's going on?" he asked in a daze.

 

"It's my fault," Chronicle Brother quickly said, "I disturbed you and your girlfriend being intimate. I'm sorry."

 

"Girlfriend? Where did I get a girlfriend from?"

 

Remembering the dream he just had, Chen Yuan smiled awkwardly and lowered his head silently.

 

But the next moment, he realized something was wrong. "Brother, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

 

"To catch your girlfriend," Chronicle Brother joked and showed his phone to Chen Yuan.

 

Chen Yuan couldn't believe his eyes and rubbed them, as if his teenage heart had been shattered in this moment.

 

"This, this, this…" Chen Yuan said three "this" in a row.

 

"Just captured it," Chronicle Brother smiled, "Did I get a good angle?"

 

"Brother… I… you…"

 

Chen Yuan seemed to have bitten his tongue and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.Upon seeing this, Chronicle no longer pressured him, signaling him to step aside. Then, he once again utilized the power of Seven Brothers to observe the surrounding yin energy.

 

The entire room was filled with the residual aura of the ugly ghost, and it was unclear how long it had been there…

 

Thinking of this, Chronicle couldn't help but look at the dispirited Chen Yuan with a pitiful gaze.

 

He shook his head without saying anything, continuing to look around.

 

There was nothing behind the door, nothing in the wardrobe, nothing under the bed, and nothing behind the curtains…

 

After observing the entire room, he still couldn't find any trace of the ugly ghost.

 

Until this moment, he was almost certain: the ghosts used by the training party to intimidate them all came from the secret realm's uncontrollable event a few days ago!

 

It made sense. If he were the training party, he wouldn't use ordinary ghosts to deal with the top students from various key high schools.

 

That would not have any effect on training and testing.

 

If they were to use ghosts, they should use the ones that had just appeared recently and possessed intelligence. Only in this way could they push their group to the limit.

 

Chronicle had to admit: intelligent ghosts and confused ghosts were completely different.

 

Bai Ziliang had fallen victim to this.

 

As for Chronicle himself, what he hated the most was the former's tendency to run away when they couldn't win. It really hindered his money-making.
