In reality, the scene in He Yu's room was completely different from what everyone imagined.

After returning to his room, Wanrenzhan hadn't laid down. Instead, he had paced around anxiously and eventually decided to go outside. Thus, when he encountered those ghosts, he had already been standing at the doorway.

But He Yu was different.

The moment he returned to his room, he had simply gone to sleep.

Therefore, one male ghost and one female ghost had climbed directly onto He Yu's bed.

This had clearly been arranged carefully by the proprietress. Wanrenzhan looked tall and sturdy, so she had assigned four ghosts to him.

As for He Yu, who looked rather slender, she had only arranged °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° two—better-looking and more clever.

Seeing He Yu lying in bed, the two ghosts skillfully climbed onto it.

The female ghost leaned down and breathed softly beside his ear.

"Young Master~"

[Bullet comment: "Damn, is He Yu going to get scared to death?"]

[Bullet comment: "This is creepy. They're human-shaped and good-looking, but once you remember they're ghosts, it's both exciting and terrifying."]

Just as the viewers were discussing it, He Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

He had indeed been asleep.

But the instant he opened them, his eyes became completely clear.

"Who are you?"

He slowly sat up.

There wasn't the slightest trace of fear in his eyes or on his face.

"We are ghosts arranged to serve you. This is also one of our town's specialties."

The two ghosts smiled charmingly, their clothes half-open, their seductive postures fully displayed.

Though awake, He Yu still looked lazy. He yawned and said calmly,

"It is indeed a specialty, but I don't need it."

Their task was to "serve" him.

How could they simply leave?

One of them smiled.

"Young Master, do you prefer men or women? Don't worry, we can satisfy you either way..."

He Yu raised an eyebrow.

"So you can be male or female?"

The female ghost smiled and nodded.

"Everything depends on your wishes. Whatever you want, we'll become."

—No denial meant it was possible.

[Bullet comment: "Holy shit! Male or female too? This is too exciting!"]

[Bullet comment: "Why am I suddenly tempted..."]

[Bullet comment: "Hahaha, nobody even knows whether He Yu likes men or women, or both."]

He Yu's expression suddenly cooled.

"Interesting, but unnecessary."

He picked up the rimless glasses beside him and put them on slowly, lowering his eyes slightly, making his already exquisite face even more beautiful.

Strangely enough—

The viewers suddenly felt that He Yu was more alluring than the two ghosts.

The female ghost lay on his chest and spoke softly,

"Then let us stay beside you. Even if we do nothing, we can serve tea and water..."

He Yu's expression remained indifferent.

"Get off."

Seeing that he didn't seem to like the gentle type, the young male ghost lifted his chin proudly while leaning against the bed.

"We're letting you take advantage of us and you still refuse? We're the best-looking ghosts in Number One Inn."

"Take advantage?"

He Yu looked at their faces, then touched his own and asked seriously,

"Who exactly is taking advantage of whom?"

The ghosts: "..."

Their first instinct was that He Yu was taking advantage of them.

But after looking at He Yu's face...

Wuwuwu.

Wasn't it them taking advantage?

Leaning against the headboard with his glasses on, He Yu smiled faintly. His collar was half open, exposing his delicate collarbone.

The male ghost stared blankly.

The female ghost quietly climbed off his chest and retreated.

—Inferiority struck.

—They weren't even prettier than He Yu.

—Then what exactly were they seducing him for?!

Just as the two ghosts prepared to leave in embarrassment, He Yu suddenly looked at them with interest.

"Wait."

"You said you'll satisfy any request?"

They subconsciously nodded and looked at him expectantly.

Sleeping with someone this beautiful—

Not only would they complete their task, they'd even be getting the better deal.

He Yu smiled.

One minute later—

Bang!

Wanrenzhan kicked the door open with a murderous expression.

"He Yu! I'll—"

His voice stopped abruptly.

Inside the room, He Yu leaned against the bed, holding a notebook and pen, writing something down.

Though his clothes were somewhat messy, nothing seemed to have happened.

And there were no ghosts in the room.

Only two rabbits crouching under the bed.

Wanrenzhan: "?"

He stood there stupidly.

He Yu lifted his eyes over his glasses and looked at him with disgust.

"What are you barging in and destroying doors for? Looking to kill someone?"

—Not exactly a friendly attitude.

But Wanrenzhan wasn't angry at all.

He remained stunned.

After a long while, his eyes widened.

"Where are the two ghosts?! You didn't already 'enjoy' them, did you?!"

So fast?!

He had rushed over the instant he noticed and was still too late?!

He Yu: "..."

He smiled slightly.

The smile sent chills down one's spine.

"Stop filling your head with filthy thoughts. I may be thinner than you people, but I'm perfectly healthy, thank you."

—No man could tolerate having his abilities questioned.

Wanrenzhan finally realized he had misunderstood.

Embarrassed, he rubbed his nose, his ears reddening.

He propped the door back up.

"I'll have the proprietress replace it later. Mine needs replacing too."

He Yu: "..."

So more than one door had been destroyed?

"Where are the ghosts? Did you kill them too? Since when do you have that ability?"

Closing the notebook and putting it away, He Yu replied,

"They've been here all along."

Wanrenzhan: "!!"

Two voices sounded from below.

"We're here."

"Sniff, sniff..."

The voices came from the rabbits.

Wanrenzhan jumped backward and knocked over the door he had just propped up.

This time it fell outward and shattered completely.

He didn't care.

"G-Ghosts... became rabbits?"

"They transformed from humans into rabbits?"

Holy shit.

Ghosts turning into humans had already shocked him.

Now they could transform again?!

The viewers were equally stunned.

[Bullet comment: "I thought ghosts were just dark shadows with bad vibes. They can transform?"]

[Bullet comment: "This is incredible!"]

[Bullet comment: "It's probably instance settings. The Federation isn't like this."]

Inside the room, the two rabbits transformed back into human form.

He Yu asked,

"What about the ghosts in your room?"

Wanrenzhan answered immediately,

"Killed them. They're weird, but weak. One axe and they're dead. Want me to kill yours too?"

For some reason, the thought of these things seducing He Yu made his hand itch.

"Ah!"

The two ghosts screamed and huddled together.

Being transformed into rabbits for research had already been miserable enough.

Now all their companions had been chopped to pieces.

They burst into tears.

He Yu waved his hand.

"You can leave."

The ghosts immediately fled, warily avoiding Wanrenzhan.

"Soft-hearted."

As Wanrenzhan spoke, he looked at He Yu and froze.

He Yu was fastening his clothes.

He pulled them tighter and put on a sweater made from Great Cat fur over his thin shirt, creating a beautiful two-layer outfit.

Without any concern, he dressed while saying,

"These ghosts are different from Federation ghosts."

"According to Eugene, Federation ghosts can't transform."

"So these transformations belong only to this instance."

"Only to Ghost Town."

"Ghost Town's ghosts are abnormal."

"They're probably an important clue..."

He turned around.

Just in time to see Wanrenzhan staring blankly.

He Yu frowned.

"What are you doing?"

Wanrenzhan stared fixedly at him.

He felt something was wrong with himself.

Those four ghosts hadn't tempted him at all.

Yet now, watching He Yu calmly analyzing clues while putting on clothes, his heartbeat accelerated, his ears turned red, and his whole body felt as though it were on fire.

Swallowing, he stepped forward.

[Bullet comment: "HOLY SHIT! Wanrenzhan fell in love!"]

[Bullet comment: "Is my ship finally sailing?"]

[Bullet comment: "Get away! Idiot, stay away from our God He!"]

Wanrenzhan walked up to him and raised his axe across his chest.

"He Yu!"

"I challenge you!"

He Yu: "?"

Bullet comments: "???"

Even someone with one hundred and eighty tricks like He Yu couldn't understand what he wanted.

"What nonsense are you on about?"

Wanrenzhan looked serious.

"My heartbeat is accelerated. My body temperature is abnormal."

"It's obvious."

"My battle instincts have awakened."

"I want to fight you!"

He Yu: "..."

[Bullet comment: "...Some people are destined to remain single forever."]

Expressionlessly, He Yu pushed away the axe.

"No time to entertain your insanity."

"Time is constantly decreasing."

Wanrenzhan instinctively glanced at the countdown above He Yu's head—

And froze.

When they'd met, both had 96 hours.

Two hours had passed.

It should've become 94.

But now—

He Yu had 86.

Eight hours had disappeared.

Seeing him staring, He Yu touched his hair.

"What? Is my countdown wrong?"

Blinking, Wanrenzhan lied instinctively.

"It decreased by two hours since I met you."

He Yu rolled his eyes.

"The countdown decreases with time."

"It's almost been three hours since we reunited."

"Of course it went down."

"Use your brain."

Wanrenzhan said nothing.

He was thinking frantically.

The only difference—

He had killed the ghosts.

He Yu had released them.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

In the Federation, ghosts were considered evil and deserved extermination.

Perhaps this instance worked the same way.

Killing them caused no problem.

Letting them go reduced the countdown.

Wanrenzhan burst into laughter.

Hahahaha!

—He'd finally found a way to screw over He Yu!

He Yu looked at him expressionlessly.

"Wanrenzhan."

"Stop smiling like you're full of evil schemes."

"It's ugly."

Suppressing his grin, Wanrenzhan coughed.

"Nothing."

"So the biggest secret really has something to do with ghosts?"

He Yu nodded.

"Probably."

"This is Ghost Town after all."

"The ghosts are abnormal."

"There must be some huge secret."

"And the main mission tonight?"

Wanrenzhan was dying of curiosity.

He Yu had already put on his Frost Beast coat and walked out.

"You'll know tonight."

"I'm not certain yet."

"So I'm not saying anything."

Seeing him leave, Wanrenzhan gnashed his teeth.

"What's there to be smug about?"

"I've discovered something you don't know."

"Just wait."

"I'll make your countdown hit zero!"

Bullet comments:

"Beautiful dream. Don't dream again."

"Eugene previously performed self-sabotage. Now Wanrenzhan has volunteered to jump into the pit."

"Zhen Xing, protect yourself."

...

Meanwhile, the proprietress cried bitterly.

"My four beautiful ghosts are dead?!"

She was heartbroken over the doors.

But even more heartbroken over the four human-shaped ghosts.

Wanrenzhan nodded righteously.

"Yep."

The proprietress almost exploded.

Why had she sent precious human-shaped ghosts to serve Wanrenzhan?!

The ones serving He Yu survived.

Wanrenzhan's had been chopped into dust.

He Yu glanced at her.

"Where did you get those human-shaped ghosts?"

"They're rather rare."

The proprietress sighed.

"Bought them."

"At a huge cost."

She almost cried.

"If it were anyone else, I'd storm their door."

"But you're a great family's young master..."

He Yu said calmly,

"Where did you buy them?"

"When I have time, take me there."

"I'll buy you a few."

The proprietress' eyes lit up.

But then she sighed.

"They're sold officially."

"They're expensive and require waiting."

Officially?

He Yu paused.

Ghost Town's official channels.

In other words—

Louis' side.

At that moment, he saw Louis waiting outside with a hovercar.

Eugene stood beside him.

"Young Master He!"

Louis' eyes lit up.

"Shall we go?"

Nearby, a timid voice sounded.

"Young Master..."

It was Lin.

He excitedly handed over a notebook.

"I've investigated what you asked. Several unusual people arrived in town today."

He Yu accepted it.

—He had asked Lin to investigate Zhen Xing and Keli Hai.

Louis frowned.

"What's this?"

"There are some people who came to Ghost Town with me."

"One of them is someone I need to deal with."

Lin looked at He Yu expectantly.

Running errands deserved tips.

Louis instinctively reached out.

But he suddenly paused.

Since meeting He Yu—

He'd never seen him spend money.

Being extremely sensitive, Louis became suspicious.

Thus he deliberately said,

"Being able to work for Young Master He is your honor. One job for Young Master He is worth a hundred for ordinary guests."

Lin smiled flatteringly.

Wanrenzhan's heart tightened.

Eugene's mind spun rapidly.

They had no money.

Were they about to be exposed?

"Young Master! I've finally found you!"

Everyone looked over.

Blue hair.

Deep features.

Youthful and handsome.

A terrifying aura.

Zhen Xing.

Eugene exhaled in relief.

Zhen Xing walked quickly to He Yu.

"Young Master, I finally found you."

"The smart brain wouldn't connect."

"Thankfully you're alright."

Another expert.

Louis licked his dry lips.

"And this is...?"

He Yu smiled.

"My butler."

"Zhen Xing."

After Eugene explained the situation, Zhen Xing scolded him.

"I told you to bring money whenever you go out."

"If Young Master suffered because of it, Madam would beat you to death."

He Yu waved dismissively.

"Forget it."

"Don't mention money."

"Too vulgar."

Zhen Xing smiled helplessly.

"Fine, fine."

Then—

He casually threw Lin a ten-thousand-credit Federation note.

Everyone: "!!!"

Lin trembled with excitement.

The proprietress sighed.

"Young Master He really treats money like dirt."

"He even pushed away five hundred thousand earlier."

Louis froze.

His final traces of suspicion vanished completely.

How could someone who treated money so casually not be a great family's young master?

Zhen Xing carefully helped He Yu into the car.

"Young Master."

"We absolutely cannot let you go hungry."

After getting in, He Yu lowered his voice.

"Where did the money come from?"

Zhen Xing grinned.

"I rescued a fat rich bumpkin."

"He and his men were being tormented by ghosts."

"He paid me."

He Yu: "..."

Zhen Xing frowned.

"No idea what he was doing."

"He was crying while provoking ghosts."

He Yu said calmly,

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"He's completing side quests for me because he lost to me."

Zhen Xing: "..."

At that moment, the two of them shared the exact same thought.

Comrade Stupid—

No.

Comrade Qian Duo—

Was a good comrade.

A very suitable friend for this instance.
