The gods descend into reality

I originally didn't believe in ghosts or gods.

However, after arriving in this world, Takumi Fujiwara himself came to believe.

That's why I refused Hao Yun's offer to become sworn brothers with me the moment he asked.

The saying goes, "Heaven is watching from above."

There are some things that shouldn't be done lightly.

What if we really did die on the same day, month, and year?

I'm not even eighteen yet, but the guy across from me is at least twenty-eight.

If I were to actually take any oath seriously, wouldn't I be losing ten years of my life?

Where there are gods, there are also ghosts.

This place is known as a haunted house, does that mean there are really ghosts here?

Thinking of this, Takumi Fujiwara's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Hey bro, what's wrong with your pale face? If you're scared, you can go back now," Hao Yun said cheekily, putting his arm around Fujiwara Takumi's shoulder.

"Who...who's afraid? Besides, it's said that you can get the seeds of these strange plants after clearing the level here. Boss Xiao collects these seeds to cover the cost of lodging and meals," Fujiwara Takumi muttered.

These plants have also undergone some changes since leaving the world of Plants vs. Zombies.

The most obvious change is that after losing the support of the world's consciousness, the sunflower's ability to mutate into a different plant has disappeared, and it can only grow through the inefficient process of flowering and seed production.

However, the collected sunlight is still a good thing, as it is equivalent to gathering spiritual energy together, which can accelerate the cultivation of martial artists, magicians, and immortal cultivators. This is why Boss Xiao wanted to collect these sunflower seeds.

By gathering spiritual energy, the environment of one's inn will undoubtedly be better, and the price can naturally be increased accordingly.

Secondly, Boss Xiao has already reached the cultivation level of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. The next step is to travel to the Profound Realm, which requires a lot of enlightenment and spiritual energy.

"Seeds, these Plants vs. Zombies seeds?"

Hao Yun's eyes lit up.

"Wait a minute, aren't you going back?"

Hao Yun asked, looking puzzled.

Although Xiao Se did not object to them living here, they still had roots. Few people were willing to abandon everything to come to this world, even if life in this world might be much better than in their own.

Hey bro, what's going on?

Hao Yun looked at Fujiwara Takumi with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, have you ever experienced despair?"

The next moment, Fujiwara Takumi looked at Hao Yun with bloodshot eyes, which startled Hao Yun.

"I spent half a year creating a car company that spans all eleven districts, and I'm planning to hire a dozen female secretaries to enjoy life to the fullest," Takumi Fujiwara slowly recounted.

"Not bad, little brother, you know how to enjoy life at such a young age."

Hao Yun gave Fujiwara Takumi a knowing look, but Fujiwara Takumi remained expressionless.

"Then my dad said I was still a child, so he took over the company as my parent and hired three or four female secretaries in the office, without giving me a single one," Fujiwara Takumi said, his voice slightly trembling with tears.

"This is indeed a bit... a bit excessive, but you two—"

"Then they put me in my senior year of high school, the senior year of high school in China. I could have gone straight to university as an international student, but they insisted that I get in based on my own merit!"

Takumi Fujiwara began to speak.

Hao Yun paused for a moment.

"This...this is going too far. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity, turning the tables on you?"

Hao Yun turned around with difficulty to look at the haunted house.

"Let's stop talking and go inside. I don't know how scary this haunted house is." Hao Yun tried his best to keep a straight face, but he almost burst out laughing inside.

This is fucking—

He's really ruining his son's life!

"Brother, this place is so creepy, could there be real ghosts?"

"Tch, I've seen zombies, what's there to be afraid of? I'm a member of the Five Fireball God Cult!"

"That's right, the Five Fireball God Cult is invincible!"

The two walked with their heads held high and chests out toward the ancient and eerie haunted house door in front of them.

Chapter 221 A Ghost!

The Japanese-style gate was tightly closed, with the words "Haunted House" written in bold, dragon-and-phoenix strokes.

The air seemed to turn chilly in that instant, though not the kind of cold that comes with winter.

If the cold of winter can make your jaw tremble and your skin feel cold, that's a physical attack.

So this chill now seems to be surging up from the depths of the soul, which is probably a magical attack.

"Big...Big Brother, we~"

Fujiwara Takumi looked at Hao Yun, his jaw trembling.

"Stop talking nonsense. The air conditioning in here is a bit too strong. Who am I, Hao Yun, afraid of!"

Hao Yun said loudly, but there was a faint look of fear in his eyes.

Clearly, though he didn't say it out loud, Hao Yun was still very flustered inside.

Although there are all sorts of shapeshifters in my world, I am quite used to them. In a sense, shapeshifters can also be considered monsters.

But those Transformers weren't anything special.

At most, it's just like an ordinary person gaining an extra ability to transform.

Even the monsters who have seen the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker.

But this is a ghost!

Although the fox demons of Tushan speak in a frightening way, they ultimately will not attack humans.

But here—

This is a haunted house!

"Brother, could there really be a ghost here?"

Takumi Fujiwara asked in a low voice.

If the owner of this haunted house hadn't said that they would give me plant seeds if I could pass these few challenges, I would never have come here.

The thought of this made Takumi Fujiwara feel waves of pain in his heart.

It's my own company!

The company I've poured my heart and soul into.

He could have lived a life of luxury, but instead, he became a domineering CEO.

But now, it all belongs to his own father.

He even has to come to haunted houses to earn a living.

A strange sadness.

"Alright, there are no ghosts in this world. We should believe in science!"

After Hao Yun finished speaking, Fujiwara Takumi looked at Hao Yun with the kind of eyes that show concern for people with intellectual disabilities, making Hao Yun feel embarrassed.

"Now that we're in this world, maybe such a thing really does exist, but..."

Hao Yun stretched out his palm, and in an instant, a ball of orange-red flame appeared in his hand.

Seeing the fireball, Fujiwara Takumi and Hao Yun's confidence immediately returned.

"Aren't ghosts just spirits of the dead?"

Haven't we, the Five Fireball God Cult, killed enough souls already?!

"Yes, brother, you're right! I must get the seed!"

Takumi Fujiwara said with a firm expression.

I myself spent a month in my senior year of high school in that Eastern country.

Those hellish days.

I absolutely didn't want to spend even a single day in those hellish days!

He could have gone straight to university as an international student, but he still chose to waste another year of high school.

Toxic!

The two stepped into the haunted house one after the other. Instantly, eerie music surrounded them, causing them to involuntarily shrink their heads.

"Don't panic, don't panic. Usually, these haunted houses are designed to create a creepy atmosphere so that they'll scare us. That's exactly what this music is for," Hao Yun said seriously.

"Ha~ Look at this haunted house, it's so unprofessional. They're using a TV instead of speakers to play the atmosphere music, and the worst part is, they haven't even hidden anything!"

Seemingly in order to maintain his image in Fujiwara Takumi's mind, Hao Yun walked towards the television while talking.

"Big...Big Brother, something seems...off over there."

Takumi Fujiwara said in a trembling voice.

Speaking of which, after that day, Boss Xiao told himself that there were indeed a few strange beings who came that day.

"Ha, what's so strange about it? It's just a broken TV, and it's black—"

At this point, Hao Yun paused, his face slowly turning towards the television screen as if it were a machine.

"Zizi~"

On the television screen, Sadako, with her hair disheveled, gave Hao Yun a terrifying smile. Hao Yun immediately gave a dry laugh and slowly walked to the television screen.

"pat~"

The television was switched off, and the previously on screen went black.

"Haha, look, how could Sadako possibly exist? There are no ghosts in this world either. We should believe in science!" Hao Yun said with a grin.
