35: Chapter 35 The Ghostly Spirit? The Divination of the Yuan Family
Big-headed Doll!?
Lu Siye stroked his chin. It seemed unlikely that the previous Hei Ming was the mastermind behind that website.
Of course, one could not rule out the possibility that he had another Big-headed Doll.
Speaking of which, why did the other party send other Ghosts over instead of coming personally? Was he trying to test him?
Thinking of this, Lu Siye turned to look at the huddled Fang Lanyue.
Fang Lanyue felt a gaze fall upon her, and she shuddered, quietly scooting her bottom a little further away from Lu Siye.
[Fear Value +...]
Lu Siye brought a hand to his forehead, feeling speechless.
Was the other party serious about sending a coward?
Could that Big-headed Doll be an undercover agent sent by the Evil Suppression Bureau?
As far as Lu Siye knew, the Evil Suppression Bureau was not entirely composed of human cultivators; there were some Ghosts among them.
However, those Ghosts were special existences. Unlike ordinary Ghosts, which only had one soul and seven souls, they were born with two souls and seven souls.
With that extra soul, they were inherently much better at controlling their emotions than ordinary Ghosts and could retain their humanity well, making them suitable allies.
The Evil Suppression Bureau called these special existences Yin Spirits.
It was precisely because of the existence of Yin Spirits that Lu Siye wondered if that Big-headed Doll might be an undercover agent.
Lu Siye glanced at the System panel. In just a few minutes, Fang Lanyue had provided him with over 1,700 points of Fear Value, and he now had 4,619 points.
Lu Siye's eyes lit up. This coward Fang Lanyue might be dispensable to others, but to him, she was an oil field even richer than the Mirror Ghost next door.
He had decided: this coward had to stay. It concerned his grand plan to become stronger; not even the Evil Suppression Bureau could stop him.
"That Fang... *cough*... what is your name?" Lu Siye asked, knowing the answer.
"My name is Fang Lanyue!" Fang Lanyue raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of large eyes.
"Do you know that any member of the Evil Suppression Bureau has the authority to execute you on the spot for trespassing into a living person's home?" Lu Siye suddenly leaned in close to Fang Lanyue's face and said ominously.
"Ah~" Startled by the sudden appearance of his head, Fang Lanyue immediately rolled off the bed and huddled in the corner, trembling.
Oh my god, he was actually a member of the Evil Suppression Bureau, who slaughtered Ghosts without batting an eye and ate them without adding salt!
[Save me~ Save me~ I don't want to die yet! Fear Value +99!]
[I haven't lived enough yet...]
[...]
Fang Lanyue hugged her knees, shivering all over, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful.
"*Cough*!" Seeing her reaction, Lu Siye suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
However, as the notification sounds rang in his ears, that trace of guilt was cast to the back of his mind.
"However, considering you have no prior record of harming people and you left a note on the table, I can spare your life." Lu Siye said after the notifications stopped.
"Really! You won't kill me?" Fang Lanyue snapped her head up, blinking her large eyes, looking at him naively.
"Not only can I spare your life, but I can also ensure you won't be in any mortal danger in the future." A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Siye's mouth.
From their brief interaction, it was clear that this coward cared most about her own safety. Therefore, to get this rich oil field to stay by his side voluntarily, he needed to approach her from that angle.
Fang Lanyue's eyes lit up, and she was no longer afraid. She scrambled onto the bed, grabbed Lu Siye's wrist, and asked hopefully, "Are you willing to protect me?"
"I don't mind, but to ensure your safety in the future, you have to come to a place with me." Lu Siye nodded.
"Where are you taking me?" Fang Lanyue instantly let go of Lu Siye's wrist, retreated to the corner in fear, and crossed her arms over her chest.
[He isn't coveting my beauty and trying to do something untoward, is he? Fear Value +66!]
Lu Siye's mouth twitched. Looking at her 'three-no' figure—neither front nor back—he couldn't help but go over and flick her on the forehead.
"What are you thinking? I just want to take you to the Evil Suppression Bureau to register your identity so you don't get wiped out by a passing member. I have absolutely no interest in your 'three-no' figure." Lu Siye said irritably.
"What do you mean by 'three-no' figure?" Fang Lanyue pouted, puffing out her flat chest.
"Oh, I see it now. I'm so envious that you have an airport at such a young age." Lu Siye said expressionlessly.
"That... that's because I haven't developed yet." Fang Lanyue said weakly.
He took out his phone and, without waiting for Fang Lanyue's consent, reported the matter to the Evil Suppression Bureau.
The Evil Suppression Bureau approved the request instantly and replied, stating that a professional would be sent over for appraisal.
"Alright, I've reported it. Someone will come over to register you in a while." Lu Siye put down his phone and said to her.
"Ah~ I haven't agreed yet!" Fang Lanyue was stunned, then stamped her feet angrily.
"You don't agree? Then I might as well just kill you!" Lu Siye reached out, and the blazing blood saber outside the door flew in, landing in his hand, which he then casually slung over his shoulder.
[...]
"I agree! I agree, okay!" Fang Lanyue shuddered and said with a mournful face.
She reacted quickly and immediately chose to comply.
...
Knock, knock, knock.
Not long after, someone knocked on Lu Siye's door. It must be the people from the Evil Suppression Bureau.
Upon hearing the knock, Fang Lanyue's first reaction was to hide in the closet, burying herself in a pile of clothes and trembling.
Lu Siye checked the time on his phone; only a dozen minutes had passed since he reported Fang Lanyue.
It seemed the Evil Suppression Bureau took special Ghosts like Fang Lanyue quite seriously.
Ignoring the Fang Lanyue who continued to provide him with Fear Value, Lu Siye quickly walked to the entryway and opened the door.
Standing outside was a middle-aged man in a cyan long robe. He held a compass in his hand and exuded the elegant air unique to a scholar.
Besides that, Lu Siye could not sense any aura from him. In his perception, there was nothing where the man stood, only emptiness.
It was as if he had merged with the world around him.
Behind the middle-aged man stood a man wearing the Evil Suppression Bureau's specific combat uniform, carrying a briefcase in his hand.
Judging by the fluctuation of Qi and blood on him, the person was only at the Night Patrol Envoy Realm.
"Is the young friend Lu Siye?" The middle-aged man saw Lu Siye's gaze fixed on him, but there was no impatience in his tone.
"I am." Lu Siye nodded.
"I am Master Yuan Mou of the Kyushu Yuan Family, a Guest Elder of the Evil Suppression Bureau. I have come by order of the Evil Suppression Bureau to identify the Yin Spirit in Young Friend Lu's home." Master Yuan Mou bowed to Lu Siye.
"The Yuan Family? Might I ask if this is the Yuan Family of Yuan Tiangang that I am familiar with?" Lu Siye was stunned, then asked.
The history of this world was largely the same as the world Lu Siye came from in his previous life; there was still a Tang Dynasty in history, and there was also a Yuan Tiangang.
"Exactly!" Master Yuan Mou smiled slightly and admitted it generously.
