Weird Safe House: I became stronger after taking in my roommate!

"You guys need to go in and save my mom!"

"She's still in the Ghost Realm, what are you waiting for here?"

On the playground, Yang Kai angrily cursed at several strange members of the Investigation Bureau.

The playground was in chaos. A large number of police officers were maintaining order, and ambulances and people from the Bureau of Mystery Investigation had arrived.

The teaching building in front of us was shrouded in an eerie black mist, with only twenty or thirty points of light of different colors flashing incessantly.

"We understand how you feel, but please don't interfere with our work."

Investigator Murphy frowned and glanced at Yang Kai, then half-squatted down, placed his laptop on his lap, and began to work.

She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with tight jeans that hugged her long legs and a simple T-shirt on top, making her appear youthful, energetic, and capable.

"Calling headquarters to request the creation of a bizarre file."

"The location is Xiangyang School in Longcheng City. The level of terror is... B!"

"A total of 1892 people are trapped in the ghost realm. 29 safe houses have been created and are already occupied."

"Note: One person has awakened a lightning-attribute spiritual vein, with enormous potential."

Murphy quickly finished recording the information and then took over the school's surveillance system using his computer.

When the ghost realm invades, it creates a folded effect with reality, allowing the situation inside the teaching building to still be seen through surveillance cameras.

The security camera captured many people fleeing in panic in the stairwell, scrambling and crying out incessantly.

Students and teachers alike are being pulled in by an invisible force, and they can only struggle helplessly.

Then their necks were cruelly broken, or their bellies were ripped open, the scene was incredibly bloody.

Ghosts can't be photographed.

"That's my mom!"

Suddenly, Yang Kai pointed to a scene and cried out anxiously, "You guys need to go save her!"

Outside an office on the third floor, Liu Meiyun, who had lost one of her high heels, was frantically knocking on the door.

Murphy frowned and said with some helplessness, "The security officer went to the next city for a field mission and won't be back for at least two hours."

"We can only offer your mother some guidance..."

Yang Kai said angrily, "That door must be the location of the safe house. Who the hell is in there? Why won't they let my mom in?!"

"Quickly shout it out over the loudspeaker and tell that idiot to give the safe house to my mom!"

Murphy suppressed his temper and said, "You need to understand the situation. When two people enter the same safe house, the combined energy of the living will make it easier to attract ghosts. Whether or not to save them depends on the owner of the safe house."

"Then quickly help me contact them. Who's in that safe house?"

Yang Kai kept urging him on.

Murphy didn't want to help him investigate because the safe house was occupied by a lightning-attribute spirit bed awakener.

If he survives and becomes a safety officer, it will be of great benefit to the entire city of Longcheng.

However, out of humanitarian considerations, the investigator could not do that, so she still reviewed the surveillance footage to see who entered that office.

"Shen Xu?!"

Upon recognizing the person, Yang Kai immediately said, "So it's that good-for-nothing! Tell him to open the door and let my mom in!"

Murphy answered the broadcast: "Shen Xu, there is someone in need of rescue outside your door. You can choose to let her into your safe house. This is a good deed that saves lives, and we will all thank you."

"Of course, you can also choose to refuse; taking in other people in the safe house is a risk for you."

"On behalf of the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations, I declare that we will never interfere with your choice. Whether you save someone or not is entirely your prerogative."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai panicked, snatched the microphone, and shouted, "Shen Xu, you dare not save my mother? I'll have your legs broken!"

……

"Can you hear the broadcast even inside the safe house?"

Shen Xu lay on the deathbed, having heard the broadcast clearly.

It turned out that the person knocking on the door was Yang Kai's mother...

He thought of Yang Kai's despicable appearance.

I also thought of Yang Kai's gentle and beautiful mother.

I felt conflicted for a moment...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully eliminating the first vengeful ghost and activating the safe house containment system!]

Suddenly, a pleasant electronic voice rang in Shen Xu's mind.

system?

Is this my cheat code?

As a devoted fan of online novels, Shen Xu quickly accepted the situation.

"System, what are you good for?"

He immediately asked.

This system is a safe house containment system.

[The host only needs to take in other survivors in the Ghost Realm to trigger the reward.]

[Reward 1: Roommates can share the host's spirit bed, doubling the speed of spirit fire condensation]

[Reward 2: Each time the bond between the roommate and the host increases, a critical hit reward will be triggered]

"You get a reward for taking in a roommate?"

Shen Xu was slightly taken aback, but quickly made a decision in his heart.

……

Liu Meiyun was panting heavily, feeling like her heart was in her throat.

Her legs trembled uncontrollably as she looked around helplessly; all the safe houses had turned into colors.

This means that each house now has an owner.

The cold, black mist kept surging in, and within it seemed to be greedy eyes staring at her.

"Please, please save me. I'll do anything you ask..."

Driven by the fear of death, Liu Meiyun pleaded helplessly.

Suddenly, an expression of extreme fear appeared on her beautiful face.

A series of increasingly rapid footsteps approached, and a chill ran down my spine.

"what!"

She collapsed, her eyes tightly shut, her body limp as she let out a scream.

"Click..."

The door opened and closed quickly, dispelling the surrounding coldness and creating a feeling of...

warmth.

"Is it you?"

Liu Meiyun opened her eyes blankly, only to see a somewhat familiar, delicate face.

"Oh, it's you, Auntie! Are you alright?"

Shen Xu supported the woman whose legs were trembling with fear.

Liu Meiyun paused, then said with surprise and excitement, "Classmate... thank you for saving me."

She could no longer stand steadily and could only lean on the boy next to her.

Shen Xu developed quite early and is 1.75 meters tall.

Yang Kai's mother is also quite tall; when she wears high heels, she is almost the same height as him.

But at this moment, she looked like a frightened little girl, with red eyes and a helpless expression.

This is normal. Although the era of the supernatural has arrived, the ghost realm is still an unknown and terrifying place for ordinary people.

Moreover, ordinary people have absolutely no power to resist in the face of vengeful ghosts.

They can only survive by relying on the safety officer.

[Successfully accommodated roommate Liu Meiyun, who has been added to the roommate list]
