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

A long cordon has been set up along the edge of the playground at Xiangyang School.

Investigator Murphy from the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations has put away his computer. As the ghost realm further overlaps with reality, all electronic products in the school building have been corrupted and rendered inoperable.

The entire building was teetering on the brink of collapse, like an old building constructed hundreds of years ago.

"Quickly! Get everyone out of the school! The ghost realm is still expanding!"

"What's going on with that building over there? Why are there people there?!"

Murphy watched the embers of the safe house flicker and die out in the ghost realm, his heart filled with anxiety.

But she inadvertently discovered that less than 100 meters away from the teaching building, there were lights and figures on another building!

The law enforcement officers nearby immediately found the school's principal.

"That was... a cram school for students preparing for the college entrance exam. To have a better learning environment, classes were held in the old school building."

The vice principal gave a hesitant explanation, then said, "The ghost realm hasn't expanded yet, there's still time. I'll call the substitute teachers right now and tell them to evacuate immediately."

In the classroom on the top floor of the old teaching building.

The elderly substitute teacher banged on the blackboard: "Pay attention!"

"Why are some of you looking out the window?"

"It's just a ghost invasion, isn't it? That's just an isolated paranormal phenomenon!"

"With the world's current technology, it won't be long before we can solve all of this."

"Don't you guys notice that there's been a significant decrease in news about the ghost realm invasion lately?"

Too few?

Is it intentional control by the authorities to prevent ordinary people from knowing?

The students below were speechless.

The old teacher said, "Only by studying hard, getting into a good university, and finding a decent job will your lives have meaning. Don't worry about those useless things."

"Teacher, we're so close to the ghost realm! Let's postpone class and evacuate immediately!"

Class monitor Li Mei frowned and stood up, saying, "Attending class is important, but it's not as important as your life."

"What are you afraid of?"

The old teacher didn't take it seriously, unscrewed the thermos, took a sip of tea, and spat out a tea leaf.

"Kids are just impulsive. If an evacuation is needed, the school will naturally notify us."

"Drip, drip, drip..."

Just then, his old, non-smartphone rang.

The elderly teacher answered the phone, but frowned and said, "Feed? Feed? Say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"

"What's wrong with this vice principal... He didn't say a word after we got through on the phone? It's ridiculous!"

He put down the phone, but sensed that something was off about the atmosphere in the classroom.

Many students stood frozen in their seats, their eyes filled with fear.

"It's getting dark... It seems like we've entered a ghost realm."

……

"Old Zhang, you need to get the students out of here quickly!"

"Can't you see the ghost realm so close? What's the point of having class?!"

"Stay away from the ghost realm... Feed? Why aren't you saying anything? What do you mean by this?"

The vice principal shouted until a law enforcement officer nearby reminded him:

"Stop shouting, they're trapped in a ghost realm, their electronic devices are malfunctioning..."

The vice principal was taken aback, and only when he turned around did he realize that the ghostly domain centered on the teaching building had increased dramatically.

The surrounding buildings were shrouded in an eerie black mist.

"Only three safe houses remain... The ghost realm is suddenly expanding rapidly."

Murphy said with a grave expression, "It seems a Ghost King is about to be born."

"Everyone evacuate the school, disperse surrounding residents, and set up a cordon!"

Ten minutes later, the ever-expanding ghost domain swallowed the entire Xiangyang School.

But the eerie black mist kept receding, eventually dissipating without a trace.

All that remains is an empty, silent campus.

Withered flowers, trees, and shrubs; dilapidated school buildings; rusty iron railings.

Murphy watched all this and dialed headquarters: "Calling headquarters, the B-level ghost domain of Xiangyang School has successfully conceived a ghost king and has completed a 100% invasion of the real world. The tentative code name is Ghost School. The killing rules are... unknown."

……

[Countdown complete, the Demon King is born!]

The Ghost King is the ruler of the Ghost Realm and possesses the power to kill.

[The ghost realm has now 100% invaded reality and cannot be eliminated.]

[Safety Officer Mission 3 "End the Ghost Domain" has been changed to "Escape the Ghost Domain"!]

Seeing the sudden pop-up notification and the already crumbling Spirit Gate, Bai Tingting fell into despair.

Ten minutes of the demon's berserk state had already driven her to the point of running out of ammunition and supplies.

As for Liu Yan outside the door, she had long been torn to pieces by the ghosts.

Let alone escaping the ghost realm, she could hardly survive.

"Bang!"

With her spiritual gate shattered, Bai Tingting opened her eyes, her face pale.

She saw a disheveled female ghost beside the bier.

For some reason, she always felt that the rotting face under the hair... somewhat resembled Liu Yan.

……

"The mission has changed?"

"Escape from the ghost realm? Are you kidding me!"

Shen Xu also received a notification from the safe house.

The original form of the Ghost Realm was a black mist that affected reality and trapped people within it.

By constantly killing and destroying safe houses, ghosts absorb nutrients, and the level of invasion will continue to increase.

Once a Ghost King appears, the invasion level will be 100%, and the Ghost Realm will become indistinguishable from reality!

It will create ghost buildings, ghost shopping malls, ghost buses, ghost post offices, and other similar places around the world...

That's exactly what the "ghost school" is like right now.

The ghost realm that has been invaded will not disappear.

Even bombardment with tanks could not damage it in the slightest.

The Ghost King among them naturally became an immortal being...

Escaping the ghost realm means leaving the safe house!

Shen Xu cursed his bad luck inwardly, thinking that his luck was just too bad.

The first time I was drawn into the ghost realm, I encountered the Ghost King, and the invasion level was 100%!

dong dong!

He suddenly felt a pang of fear, as if he were being watched by something.

It's the Ghost King...

Only the Ghost King's gaze can penetrate the spirit gate and see into the safe house.

"Add some points!"

Shen Xu immediately recited it silently in his mind.

[Consuming 64000 Spirit Fires, Spirit Gate level upgraded to Lv8!]

[Spiritual defense increased; Evil-repelling lightning damage reflection increased; Pure Yang spiritual fire burn effect increased!]

[Consuming 128000 Spirit Fires, Spirit Gate level upgraded to Lv9!]

[Spiritual defense increased; Evil-repelling lightning damage reflection increased; Pure Yang spiritual fire burn effect increased!]

[Notice! The Spirit Gate level has reached its maximum and cannot be increased further!]

He directly upgraded his spiritual gate to the maximum level of 9 before the palpitation slowly dissipated.

[Consuming 32000 Spirit Fires, the Arrow Tower level has been upgraded to Lv7!]

[Consuming 64000 Spirit Fires, the Arrow Tower level has been upgraded to Lv8!]

[Consuming 1208000 Spirit Fires, the Arrow Tower level has been upgraded to Lv9!]

[Warning! The level cap for the arrow tower has been reached and cannot be upgraded further!]

Once the arrow tower reaches level 9, it is powerful enough to instantly kill any being below the Ghost King level.

Outside Shen Xu's safe house, a raging inferno and thunder annihilated all the "teachers" and "classmates" who had surrounded him.

After the ghost school was established, the originally disheveled and vengeful ghosts also took on their own forms, which were people who died in the ghost realm.

[Alert! Safe House #19 has been breached!]

[Warning! Your No. 09 safe house has become the last safe house in the Ghost Realm!]

[Special Mission: As the last survivor, you have the opportunity to condense a spiritual weapon. Upgrade the Spirit Gate and Arrow Tower to their level cap, collect one million Spirit Fires, and condense the spiritual weapon immediately.]

[Your spirit gate and arrow tower have reached their level cap. Refining a spirit weapon... 289080/1000000]

The spirit gate and arrow tower could no longer be upgraded. All the spirit fire that Shen Xu obtained hovered above the spirit bed like fireflies, constantly converging towards the center point.

"Uh... Uh... Uh..."

The wailing of evil spirits could be heard seeping in from outside the door.

At the command of the Ghost King, all the ghosts in the entire Ghost Realm came.

The Lingmen Gate was under unprecedented pressure, with arrow towers firing arrows incessantly amidst alternating thunder and fire.

The Ghost King is a being above level 9.

To defend against its attack, relying solely on the spirit gate and arrow towers is definitely not enough.

magical artifacts...

This might be the last chance.

However, it takes time to condense a spiritual weapon.

Shen Xu had to do something more.

"Xiao Shen, there are so many ghosts outside, I'm so scared."

Liu Meiyun, standing beside him, was completely disoriented, curled up and trembling uncontrollably.

"Auntie...you're not doing enough. If this continues, we'll die."

Shen Xu opened his eyes and suddenly slapped the beautiful woman across the face.

The latter was stunned by the beating, but also jolted awake; a glimmer of clarity returned to his previously panicked and lifeless eyes.

"What else can I do?"

What do you think?

"No, you can't, Auntie is so much older than you... This is hurting you."

Shen Xu was losing patience.

"Slap, slap—"

He slapped the school bully's mother twice more: "Do you want us to die here?"

"Auntie, I heard that Yang Kai's father passed away a long time ago. You don't want him to become an orphan, do you?"
