I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Fabai felt more relieved than anything else—he felt like the heavens had cursed him. All these years had passed, and he still hadn't received any recognition. Why the hell was that?!

Chapter 100: Mysterious and Unpredictable, on the Chessboard, a Piece or a Player?

"Merit."

After dismantling the formation here, Bai Ye could sense a trace of merit entering his body through the Wheel of Merit.

Defeating evil spirits grants you a chance to win prizes and accumulate merit, doubling your happiness.

After briefly explaining the company's layout to Liu Qing and instructing him to prepare according to the provided placement, Bai Ye took his bank card. Upon receiving the bank transfer notification, he turned around and went to find a hotel to stay in.

Over the past few days, Bai Ye has been constantly gathering information about this world.

Although I learned during my previous time travel that this world incorporated many elements from Hong Kong variety shows.

But after resolving those office scapegoat incidents, Bai Ye discovered that this world also seemed to have its own secrets that he was unaware of.

There are many paranormal stories online, but most of them lack concrete evidence and are treated as mere tales. However, some of them gave Bai Ye a strange sense of familiarity, as if they resembled similar movie plots.

"It seems that news about ghosts and monsters has been deliberately concealed, and even the matter I resolved doesn't seem to have caused any ripples."

Although defeating the ghosts wasn't something to boast about, I had deliberately made a big fuss about the strange things happening in that building, so it was impossible for no one to know. But somehow, I haven't seen it on the news yet.

Was it really hidden after all?

Bai Ye seemed to understand that this was not the work of ordinary people; they did not have that much power. Nowadays, most of the news reports were about who had become a gang leader or who had been killed. There was a lot of news about this kind of thing.

Young and Dangerous

Bai Ye silently considered the matter for a moment. His phone rang, and he stretched, picked it up, glanced at it, and answered, "What's up?"

Has Liu Qing already taken care of things?

Bai Ye muttered to himself, but the voice on the other end of the phone wasn't Liu Qing's, but a more mature middle-aged man's voice: "Hello Master Bai, I apologize for bothering you, I'm Liu Qing's boss, may I have a chat with you?"

Huang Yuan tightened his grip on his phone. He knew that this kind of expert might have a somewhat eccentric temperament.

Since he also needed the other party's help in some matters, he naturally treated them with great courtesy and learned from Liu Qing that the other party was indeed very capable.

He had tried to find Taoist priests before, but he couldn't find any. He couldn't find any online, and when he searched in real life, he found that many of them were just swindlers. He hadn't found many who were truly capable. So when Huang Yuan learned about Bai Ye's existence from Liu Qing, he immediately agreed that he would pay any price as long as Bai Ye could solve the problem of the building.

The key issue wasn't the building itself, but rather the people around him. They seemed rather strange lately, and he was starting to get scared.

"Sure, I'm at the Victoria Hotel. Come over when you have time."

"Alright, I'm coming right away. Please wait a moment, Master!"

Huang Yuan was thrilled. He tossed his phone to Liu Qing, then picked up his coat and looked at Liu Qing, saying, "Come with me to see the master."

"Good boss!"

Liu Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed. Along the way, he told Huang Yuan about Bai Ye. Although he didn't know much about him, he could tell that Bai Ye wasn't the kind of person who was difficult to get along with. As long as they didn't act arrogantly, Bai Ye was easy to talk to.

Victoria Hotel.

Huang Yuan reserved the best spot and invited Bai Ye into the private room. Although he had seen Bai Ye display his prowess in the video before, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Bai Ye in person. If he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, he would have really thought Bai Ye was a fraud.

"Master Baiye, here's the menu, please don't be shy."

"Ah."

Bai Ye took the items, casually selected a few, then looked up at him and asked, "Have you been haunted by a ghost lately? No, it's not you who's haunted by a ghost; the malevolent energy around you is much lower. It's probably someone in your family who's haunted."

This boss is really unlucky. His building was targeted by ghosts, and then he himself was targeted by ghosts.

Although he doesn't seem to be targeted by ghosts yet, judging from his expression, those close to him are already entangled by ghosts, and he probably won't be far from that point on.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Huang Yuan's face showed a hint of surprise, and then he nodded repeatedly.

I hadn’t even said anything yet, and Bai Ye had already figured it out. He truly is a master!

"Master, I'm not entirely sure if she's being haunted by a ghost, but my daughter has been acting very strangely lately, so..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Yuan then told Bai Ye about the series of strange phenomena his daughter had recently exhibited.

His daughter just graduated from high school and was admitted to university this year. At first, his daughter was fine, but later he noticed something was wrong.

The daughter of a well-behaved girl recently dyed her hair blonde, started getting earrings, rode motorcycles, and almost ran away with some thugs. If he hadn't arranged for bodyguards, his daughter probably would have been taken away by the thugs.

Moreover, it wasn't because they were forced; they left voluntarily.

He noticed the changes in his daughter at first, but he didn't pay much attention because he thought she might want to change herself. However, as time went on, he realized something was wrong, but luckily he noticed it in time.

During this time, he kept his daughter locked at home. However, because she was locked up, she started to go on a hunger strike and kept saying that she would commit suicide if she wasn't untied, which terrified Huang Yuan.

"Is he possessed by a ghost?"

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and quickly figured out the reason. It was most likely that she had been possessed by a ghost. The originally well-behaved girl had suddenly changed her personality. Either she had experienced a great shock, or she had been possessed by a ghost.

Moreover, judging from the possession situation, it seems to be possessed by the ghost of a female thug.

"When did she start talking about committing suicide?"

"Three days ago."

"That's alright then, let's eat before we go back."

After hearing this, Bai Ye immediately stopped worrying. Since the other party had already been calling for three days, there was no need to rush.

While Bai Ye enjoyed his meal at a leisurely pace, Huang Yuan was extremely anxious. After Bai Ye finished eating, he practically had "I want to go back as soon as possible" written all over his face. However, considering Bai Ye's attitude, he could only swallow his words and remain silent.

"Okay, let's go."

Bai Ye didn't want to torment them, so he could leave with them after the meal.

Following Huang Yuan to a villa area, Huang Yuan welcomed Bai Ye into the villa, pointed to his daughter's room, and said, "Master, this is the place. I don't know what your requirements are, but as long as you can solve this problem, you can make a request to me, and I will agree to it as long as I can do it!"

They had learned from Bai Ye that their daughter was not only possessed by a ghost, but that the ghost might also target them later.

All he wants now is for Bai Ye to get rid of the ghost as soon as possible.

"Ten million Hong Kong dollars."

Huang Yuan was rich, so he naturally asked for more, but he wouldn't ask for anything too outrageous. After hearing Bai Ye's request, Huang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Bai Ye wanted his entire company, although he would eventually give it to him to save his life, it would still be a painful decision. But ten million was just a drop in the ocean.

He might even add some extra, just like last time.

"Yes, Master, I'll take you inside."

With that, Huang Yuan pushed open the door and led Bai Ye into the room.

The moment the door was pushed open, the girl lying on the bed glared fiercely at the person who entered: "You old bastard, let me go right now, or I'll kill myself!"

Looking at Huang Wudie on the bed, a trace of heartache flashed across Huang Yuan's face.

My daughter used to be so well-behaved and sensible, but now she's turned out like this. It's really heartbreaking to think about.

Thinking of this, he turned to Bai Ye and asked, "Master, can you solve this?"

"Yes, it's just a little devil possessing him."

Bai Ye nodded, then made a hand seal and struck Huang Wudie on the forehead.

This time, we can't just use lightning to kill her, otherwise the girl will die along with us.

"Taoist priest?!" The ghost seemed to sense a hint of danger. Its shrill voice echoed throughout the room, and the explosive sound seemed to pierce their eardrums: "You can't kill me. If you kill me, this woman will die too. You don't want your daughter to die, do you?"

She sensed the threat of death and immediately began to threaten him, but seeing that Bai Ye showed no sign of stopping, she continued to beg for mercy: "Don't kill me! I promise I'll be a good girl from now on, and I can be your daughter too! Don't kill me!!"

"Just a dying cry."

Bai Ye said calmly.

The ghost will be eliminated in no time, and he can wait for the Ring of Merit to bring him more merit.

"Dad, it's me, I'm Wu Die. I'm so scared. Can you come and talk to me?"

The girl, who had been acting crazy, now seemed to have changed her expression, pleading softly. When Huang Yuan saw her like that, he instinctively moved closer, but before he could take a step, Bai Ye pulled him back.

"She's still inside your daughter's body; you were in danger in the past."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Huang Yuan subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

The girl on the bed knew she was going to be killed, so she stopped pretending and glared at Bai Ye and Huang Yuan, saying, "Why?! Why can this woman have everything, while I'm at the bottom of society? My father gambles, my mother is sick, and I have a younger brother in school. I've had to shoulder the burden of my body since I was little."

I dropped out of school at twelve and started out as a hoodlum, fighting people on the street every day just for a little territory and money. Why can she enjoy a life of luxury from a young age? This is mine!

"She touched me before, she's the perfect vessel, why won't she let me enjoy this kind of life?!"

The female ghost's shrill screams echoed throughout the room; she was indignant and felt resentful about her fate.

Because she had finally obtained this life of luxury.

Why are some people born into privilege while others are born into poverty? Some even have Rome to celebrate their birth, yet they themselves have nothing and have to rely on themselves for everything.

She attacked people, had abortions, smoked and drank, but she was also a good girl. Who doesn't want to be a good girl?

"So you've had the chance to commit suicide all these days, and the reason you haven't is because you can't bear to part with this body, right?"

Bai Ye chuckled and looked at the female ghost with a mocking tone, saying that the other party was a hoodlum who had finally gotten the chance to live the life of a young lady, so naturally she was reluctant to give up this body.

It's just a bit of a pity, as her lifestyle habits dictated that.

If she disguises herself well, Huang Yuan won't be able to tell at all. But once she takes control of this body, she probably won't be able to change her old habits. She starts dyeing her hair again, smoking, drinking, getting earrings, and even going to hotels with thugs.

Huang Yuan certainly noticed such a huge change.

"But there's something I'm very curious about. Your soul should be able to leave your body, right? Ghosts shouldn't be unable to leave their bodies, and why can't I sense any ghostly aura in you? It's as if your soul has merged with the other person's, and I can only judge you by your behavior. What kind of ghost are you?"

This was the first time Bai Ye had encountered this type of ghost.

He couldn't sense any ghostly aura or even yin energy from her. She was just like a normal person. If she were disguised as Huang Wudie in front of him, he wouldn't even be able to tell.

This surprised Bai Ye, but at the same time, it seemed that the other party could not separate her soul from her body, because he originally intended to kill her instantly rather than torture her.

However, Bai Ye saw that the other party had no yin energy and was just like an ordinary person. He wanted to see if the other party could separate their soul from their body, but unfortunately it seemed that they could not at all. Otherwise, they would already be at risk of their soul being scattered, and there would be no need for this ghost to stay in this body.

"You damned Taoist priest, I won't tell you that this woman is beyond saving even if she doesn't die. What I can't have, she can't have in this lifetime. You old fool, we could have lived in peace. I just wanted to enjoy this kind of life. Since you've brought a Taoist priest to deal with me, then your daughter won't have an easy time either!"

The ghost's mournful cries gradually subsided, and Huang Wudie, lying on the bed, showed a trace of pain on her face before regaining her serene and peaceful demeanor.

"Master, my daughter..."

"She lost one of her three souls, and it wasn't devoured by that ghost, nor is it still inside her body."
