Chapter 41: The Ghost on the Fifth Floor

With Shen Chujin’s help, Xu Qiaoqiao got revenge on the two male classmates who had bullied her.

Of course, she didn’t kill anyone.

Instead… she repaid them in their own way.

She cornered the two of them in a dark alley.

They liked to play around, right?

Then… let them play with each other.

The filthy scene was so disgusting that Xu Qiaoqiao didn’t even bother to watch.

After it was over, she cut off their harmful “tools.”

Screams echoed in the alley for a long time without fading.

After it was done, Xu Qiaoqiao looked up at the night sky and slowly curled her lips into a smile.

Then, her ghostly figure gradually faded away, as if she had never appeared at all.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Chujin arrived at the entrance of the Night Mystery Club.

Manager Zhao had long been waiting there.

Seeing Shen Chujin, he immediately came forward.

“Master Shen, you’ve finally arrived!”

“Mm, lead the way. Tell me along the way.”

“Alright, please follow me.”

Manager Zhao led Shen Chujin inside through the main entrance.

The entire club had five floors in total.

Both outside and inside, it was decorated with dazzling gold and jade.

Under the dark night sky, it looked like a shining, dazzling star embedded in the very center of the city.

Shen Chujin and the others took the elevator straight up to the fourth floor.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they ran into an old acquaintance.

Jiang Baiyuan looked at Shen Chujin with surprise.

“Master Shen, it’s you!”

“Are you here to deal with… that kind of thing?”

He looked around excitedly.

“Mm.”

Shen Chujin nodded lightly, as a greeting.

Manager Zhao also politely greeted Jiang Baiyuan.

As the only son of the Jiang family, Jiang Baiyuan was naturally known to Manager Zhao.

“Well, you two go ahead. I still need to go downstairs to pick someone up, so I won’t bother you.”

Jiang Baiyuan waved to the two of them, his fox-like eyes squinting with a smile.

After they left, he stepped into the elevator.

“Hey, Shi Yi, are you at the entrance yet?” he called on the phone.

“Mm, okay, I’m coming down to pick you up now.”

At the Night Mystery Club entrance, a low-key yet luxurious black Rolls-Royce came to a smooth stop.

A pair of long legs stepped out from the back seat.

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Baiyuan smiled and strode over.

“You’re finally here. Everyone’s arrived, we’re just waiting for you.”

“Guess who I just ran into?” he suddenly asked mysteriously.

Shi Yi glanced at him but ignored the question, walking straight ahead.

Even if he didn’t ask, Jiang Baiyuan would have told him anyway.

Sure enough, the next moment Jiang Baiyuan couldn’t hold it in.

“Didn’t I tell you before? There’s a master who’s really amazing—saved me twice in a row. I just ran into her upstairs. Don’t you think it’s fate?”

There was longing in his eyes. “To be honest, she’s really beautiful, prettier than any girlfriend I’ve had before. What do you think, should I chase after her?”

“Hey, don’t walk so fast, wait for me.”

Seeing Shi Yi already far ahead, Jiang Baiyuan hurried to catch up.

After Shen Chujin and Manager Zhao got off the elevator on the fourth floor, they took the stairs up to the fifth floor.

“Since that incident happened, the entire fifth floor hasn’t been able to operate. We had to shut down the elevator going up there and seal off the stairway entrance, telling outsiders that the fifth floor is under renovation,” Manager Zhao explained as they walked.

“We’ve also brought in several masters to take a look, but after seeing it, they all shook their heads and said they couldn’t solve it. Some didn’t even accept payment and hurried away. We really have no solution. If this situation can’t be controlled and word gets out, the whole club will be finished.”

As the person responsible for managing the club, he would be ruined as well.

Manager Zhao looked very worried. Although he was only in his forties, he already had several strands of white hair.

He must have been really exhausted recently.

Manager Zhao opened the last door leading to the fifth floor.

As soon as they entered, a cold breeze swept over them.

It wasn’t normal coolness—it was a chill that made one’s hair stand on end.

Manager Zhao quickly turned on the lights in the corridor.

The warm light illuminated the entire space.

But in the next moment…

Zzzz… zzzz…

The string of lights suddenly flickered uncontrollably, and then—all went out!

The air instantly felt as if it had frozen, unbearably silent.

Manager Zhao’s heart pounded fiercely, he struggled to control the urge to scream.

But from his tense back, it was clear how terrified he was.

“Ma—Master Shen…”

“If you’re scared, just go wait outside.”

After all, you can’t help here, and if you stay you’ll only distract me.

Manager Zhao was so moved he almost cried.

Master Shen not only didn’t leave in a hurry like the other masters who glanced and fled, but thoughtfully told him to wait outside.

He had finally found the right person!

He quickly stepped back.

“Close the door.”

“Okay!”

The door slowly closed, leaving Shen Chujin alone in the entire space.

Silent!

The surroundings were so quiet that only her light and steady breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, a swirl of black mist swept in!

Filled with strong dark energy, it seemed as if it was about to devour her.

Shen Chujin slightly turned her body, her eyes were calm and steady, her entire expression extremely composed.

At the moment the black mist was about to reach her, she moved!

A yellow talisman shot out from her hand, flying straight into the black mist.

As fast as lightning, in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the mist.

“Ah!!!”

A chilling scream echoed from inside the black mist.

Just as the mist was about to escape,

Shen Chujin gave it no chance.

Like a ghost, she moved swiftly beneath her feet, throwing several talismans from her hand one after another. The talisman papers floated around the black mist, as if setting up a formation.

The next moment, a miraculous scene appeared.

The talismans scattered around spun rapidly like a spiral, gradually forming a lingering afterimage.

They tightened closer and closer, rushing toward the center of the black mist.

The screams grew even more piercing.

With a flash of red light, the black mist dissipated, revealing a weak woman ghost in red clothes lying on the ground.

She glared viciously at Shen Chujin.

“Why did you come to ruin my plan?!”

Although her voice was weak, the resentment behind it was strong.

She had already reached the final stage of her cultivation and was about to freely leave and unleash slaughter.

Who would have expected a sudden troublemaker to appear midway!

“So, you still want to kill someone?” Shen Chujin shot the ghost a sharp look.

The ghost snorted coldly, “That wretched woman killed me! Of course, I want to kill her! Even cutting her into a thousand pieces wouldn’t be enough to ease the hatred in my heart!”

Her face was full of hatred, as if she saw someone else through Shen Chujin’s eyes, the look was as if she wanted to tear that person apart alive.

“Are you sure it was her who killed you, and not that you carelessly bumped into the table corner and died by your own fault?”

Shen Chujin raised her eyelids, her gaze cold and indifferent.
