"It’s a pity... not every ghost deserves to be sealed by me!"

Fang Yuan thought about the ghost in the Chen Residences.

In the past few years, it had turned into Fang Yuan’s punching bag. The last time Fang Yuan had attacked it, it was too severely injured that it no longer appeared in recent years.

"Of course, all of these experiences did serve me well."

Fang Yuan gazed at Wu Lu and his eyes glistened. "Release!"

Wu Lu involuntarily took a step back.

From her point of view, 6 burn scars lined Fang Yuan’s face and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"This Murderous Level ghost is... rather useful!"

Under the red glow coming from the ghost, Wu Lu appeared dazed.

"I am now able to infiltrate the mind of others and alter their memories... This is rather similar to that of a dream master!"

Fang Yuan immediately released the ability of the Murderous Level ghost from this apartment.

"Now, return to school and forget everything that has happened!"

Fang Yuan was already well-versed in tampering with the memories of others as he directly altered them. "Yang Guang and the 2 others died from an accident!"

"They... died from an accident!"

Wu Lu mumbled to herself as she appeared dazed. Slowly, she walked out of the apartment like a zombie.

"It isn’t good for her to keep these memories... sigh, I’m such a kind person!"

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin. "However... the curse of the ’Door’ is still beyond my comprehension!"

He raised his hands and his face was still that of the Murderous Level ghost from the apartment. A chilly vibe started to spread from his hands and his skin turned dark-purple.

"I have no problem in releasing different abilities form different ghosts at the same time... Is the curse created by the Tantai Family so weak?"

Fang Yuan had long detected the anomaly in the ghost within his body.

The being which the Tantai Family had placed their hopes on needed to be at least a ’Strange’ Level and therefore of a certain power.

However, this ghost was just too weak!

"This is the result of being damaged by the ’Door’!"

Fang Yuan subconsciously recalled the scene where he escaped from the Tantai Family.

The 20-year cycle was about to return and the appearance of the ’Door’ would kill off all the descendants of the Tantai Family!

"The ghost which I had released not only dealt with the elders of the Tantai Family, it was also being targeted by the Door. Therefore, it gave me time to escape"

Fang Yuan appeared solemn.

He knew that at that point in time, even if he was able to escape from the Tantai Family, the Door would never have let him passed. He was only able to smoothly escape because of the ghost. The ghost had become a scapegoat for Fang Yuan, giving him enough time to make his escape.

"Even so, how could this ’Strange’ Level ghost end up as a mere ’Murderous’ Level ghost after being severely injured?"

’Strange’ meant that the ghost would be strange and unpredictable!

This experience of toying with humans and altering their memories was only a child’s play.

The truly strange and unpredictable act would be, for instance, warping time and space, messing around with karma and even making one think that he was alive even after killing him!

Even a top-notch exorcist would die without knowing why it encountered a Strange Level ghost.

"Anything that is Strange would affect the entire area. If it appears, it will affect hundreds or even thousands of people... and the effect might last for over a hundred years, affecting the descendants of those affected as well..."

As for why there was so little information about such beings, Fang Yuan predicted that these Strange beings had the ability to control information over a large area. Therefore, they were able to alter all news, reports and even the attention of the humans within the area, allowing them to be unaware of these obvious ’anomalies’!

"Such Strange beings... it will be rare to encounter them."

Fang Yuan felt that if anyone else, even exorcists, were to hear his theory, they would most probably think that he was mad.

These were things which others did not want to encounter. However, he wanted to actively seek for such a presence.

"It’s a pity... I don’t know where to start. Do I really need to explore the entire world?"

Fang Yuan sighed. "I could probably expand Ma Wencai’s reputation and even release some information regarding his identity... in an attempt to attract even more exorcists here!"

To him, this was no longer a period of staying low.

Before the 20-year cycle returned, he had to attempt to seal as many ghosts as possible to increase his own abilities! For the final showdown!

For that, his initial plan of hiding in Ma Wencai’s office would no longer work out. He had to immerse himself into the community of exorcists of this world.

Fang Yuan slowed mulled over his own future as he casually hailed a cab and returned to the Ma Paranormal Detective Corporation.

"How did it go?"

Ma Xiaoling welcomed Fang Yuan back as she gazed at her friend-cum-teacher nervously.

"Don’t worry... it’s been settled!"

Fang Yuan revealed a relaxed smile.

"That’s great..."

Ma Xiaoling patted her chest and heaved a deep breath. "That female student is such a poor thing..."

"Instead of talking about her, why not think about what we should eat for dinner."

Fang Yuan casually retorted and Ma Wencai nodded his head violently. It was obvious that he was hungry too.

"Alright! I shall cook up a feast tonight!"

Ma Xiaoling’s culinary skills were rather impressive, especially after Fang Yuan’s guidance. She could go out and become a chef and no one would suspect anything. As soon as she donned her apron, she seemed to have transformed into a different person. "I shall bake a cake first. If any of you are hungry, you can have that as an appetizer."

...

Just as Fang Yuan was enjoying Xiaoling’s strawberry cake.

A long train slowly came to a halt as it arrived at a station. A male in a brown jacket wearing a cap and carrying a suitcase walked out to the station platform.

"My home... Never would I have thought that I will return here!"

His right eye had an obvious knife scar which gave him a ferocious look. Fortunately, he did not go blind because of the scar.

"Hey... Brother, Sister-in-law, it’s me! Bingqi!"

He came to a public phone, tossed a coin in and dialled a number. "I heard about Xia’s death! He is still my nephew no matter what! Funeral? I won’t be going already. It isn’t a good thing if I were to meet up with you guys now! Didn’t I say that we have to cut all ties before?"

Lu Bingqi cut the call even though there were sounds of crying on the other side. With that, his expression turned into a stern one. "Regardless if it is a person or a ’thing’, as long as you touch my nephew, I will make you pay! Even if it means costing my life!"

"Ahh!"

At this point in time, Lu Bingqi suddenly held his right eye as blood seeped through his fingers.

"It’s... It’s coming again!"

He lowered his palm, revealing his bloodied right eye. Scarily, this eye suddenly turned white.

Lu Bingqi closed his left eye. With only his right eye, he could see a shadow flashing by across the public phone.

"It’s... that thing! It has followed me all the way here!"

In that instant, Lu Bingqi could see scratch marks as the entire public phone booth crumbled. Blood started to flow from it, turning the entire place into a pool of blood.

"Run!"

Calmly, he pushed the glass door of the booth open and fled.

"This person..."

"He’s crazy!"

"Did he see a ghost?"

...

The people who were queuing behind him could only see a weird man stumbling his way out of the telephone booth as though he was running for his life.

"Rumble!"

In the next moment, a huge truck out of control rammed into the telephone booth, crumbling it.

The few who could not escape in time turned into a pile of bloodied mess. Their limbs flew about and blood spewed everywhere.

"Weewoo Weewooo!"

Not long after, the fire engine and ambulance had arrived at the scene and got to work immediately.

From a corner not far away, Lu Bingqi witnessed everything as his right eye slowly turned to normal. "It has killed another 3 people... It is too reckless!"

It was a shock for him to encounter such a scene as soon as he returned to his homeland.

"Time passes very quickly. It has been 5 to 6 years since then... Never would I have thought that I will return home under such circumstances!"

Lu Binqi zipped up his windbreaker and disappeared among the crowd.

...

"Master..."

At the same time, a person dressed up as a monk started to walk away from the station. As he witnessed the bloody scene, he closed his eyes and started to recite a mantra. "Many of you have died in inexplicable ways. However, I have instructions from my Master to resolve the issue at hand. If I am able to survive that, I will surely return to perform a ritual for all of you to find peace! Namo Amituofo!"

"Hey... monk, where are you going?"

A cab driver smiled. "I can bring you there!"

"Please don’t. I have legs and it is already wrong for me to take the train this time... Since I have arrived at my destination, I need to complete the journey by walking!"

"Keke, what a monk! You are as stupid as those Masters!"

The cab driver smiled. "Where are you going? I can give you the general direction!"

"I will be thankful for that! I am going to the Chen Residences of the Red River Village!"

The young monk placed his hands together. "Do you happen to know where it is?"

"Chen Residences? Are you after the bounty? If that is so, you’re late..."

"Bounty?"

The monk was stunned. "I have no idea about that. Please elaborate, if you will."

In his heart, he was shocked. ’Master had gone down the wrong path and was confused by a curse. Since then, he had sinned too many times. As his disciple, I cannot follow his path and I can only try to make it up for his wrongdoings. The issue at the Chen Residences was taken over from Master as well... sigh, since the wrongdoing has already been committed, it is already too late to regret!"

"Alright!"

Since the cab driver was had no business, he did not mind a small chat. With that, he started to explain everything that happened in the Chen Residences and the young monk was in disbelief.

"The ghost has been discovered? The government sealed up the residences? The paranormal issue in the residences had been resolved? The Ma Paranormal Detective Corporation?"
