What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"What are you going to do?"

An Chen caught the other person's fist with one hand, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

"You're not allowed to go over there." The pockmarked man panted, looking up at An Chen with angry, wide eyes.

Hearing his words, An Chen shrugged.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Are you afraid of ghosts?" An Chen asked, looking at him, or rather, at the low-frequency spirit that was perched on the pockmarked face's shoulder, absorbing his positive emotions.

"Pah! Don't try to scare people with that, you piece of trash."

After saying that, the pockmarked man swung his fist, wanting to continue hitting.

"If you can't fight, then don't fight." An Chen sighed.

He suddenly didn't want to deal with this mess anymore... Anyway, being sucked in by a low-frequency spirit wouldn't cause any major problems...

He then added, "Since you knew I would come to see Jiuge at this time, you must know that I got first place in both theory and practical training courses in the Physical Education Department, right?"

Upon hearing An Chen's words, the pockmarked man's face suddenly turned pale.

"I'm telling you, I..."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Before he could finish speaking, two school security guards ran over and said, "You're fighting at school, aren't you? Come with us now."

……

After sorting out the events, An Chen came out of the security room at 11:30.

Thanks to the high-definition camera that recorded the entire incident, he was not punished.

Meanwhile, the pockmarked man continued to receive ideological education inside.

An hour and a half had passed since the agreed time.

After hesitating for a moment, An Chen still went to the library.

When Jiuge pushed open the door to the study room, she closed the novel she was reading.

After showing a hint of surprise, she cast a reproachful look at An Chen.

Chapter 4 Geniuses

Ignoring Jiu Ge's expression, An Chen calmly sat down in the seat opposite him.

Do you have class this morning?

Out of the blue, he asked this question.

If the pockmarked man I just encountered wasn't a stalker, then the only possibility left is that I just happened to run into him.

Jiuge looked at An Chen without saying a word, as if trying to decipher the meaning behind his words.

Suddenly, as if she understood something, her sharp gaze softened.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Yes, indeed."

"?"

As if he didn't see the cold gaze Jiu Ge was giving him, An Chen asked, "What did you call me here for today?"

With a soft sigh, Jiuge spoke again.

"This is the apartment address. You can move in tomorrow."

With an unquestionable tone, she pushed the small card and a set of keys together into An Chen's hands.

The reason Jiuge approached An Chen was simply because she discovered he was the only one among all the psychics she had met who was completely unafraid of spirits. Even just bringing him home could ward off evil spirits.

She felt she couldn't bring herself to tell him this.

“I have already reported to the association that I have a partner. Of course, as you requested, your name has not been revealed.”

"understood."

Without saying much, An Chen glanced at the keys and a small card beside him and put them in his pocket.

When signing the contract, An Chen asked Jiu Ge to keep his affairs confidential when reporting the situation to the association, and briefly mentioned the Phantom.

Based on the principle of win-win cooperation, he also felt that moving there as soon as possible was a wise move.

After glancing at his actions, Jiuge added, "Today, the association has assigned everyone a new mission: to find a mysterious genius. You can keep an eye out for him when you're out and about."

"A genius?"

Hearing this, An Chen was somewhat surprised.

He had been trading with spirits for several years, but he had never heard of any mysterious geniuses.

"Yes, they often appear in the puppet capital, and occasionally they go to other places."

Jiuge twirled her hair with her fingers, recalling the information the association had given her.

"Hmm, did the association say anything about what kind of person the other party is specifically?"

If this person is truly a genius, An Chen thinks it's possible to intercept them in advance and find a way to bring them into the group.

"According to the association, he is a man who always makes mysterious deals with various spirits at night and still has excellent health."

After a pause, Jiuge continued, "Logically speaking, I don't believe that there are such people in the pseudo-element. Even the most powerful psychic cannot withstand what a spirit can provide."

"..."

After hearing Jiu Ge's words, An Chen fell silent.

"...Do you know that man?" Seeing An Chen's expression freeze for a moment, Jiu Ge was somewhat suspicious.

"I don't know him," An Chen said casually.

What is the connection between An Chen and the mysterious genius who makes deals with spirits at night?

He was just an ordinary college student who didn't want to be noticed by others.

After exchanging contact information with Jiuge, An Chen returned home.

After tidying up the room, he picked up a change of clothes and went to take a shower.

It was midday, and the temperature was very high.

After feeding the cat some more food and taking a sip of tea, An Chen sat down to think about Jiu Ge and matters related to the association.

According to Jiuge, the association she belongs to is the largest in the country and the only one that is privately recognized by the state as a psychic association.

To avoid attracting attention and trouble, he instructed Jiuge to remember to conceal his identity and keep his investigation a secret when signing the contract, because he only wanted to be a transparent person who could not be discovered.

But to my surprise, the association still noticed my secret transactions at night.

Before we have figured out the true nature of the phantom, we must not act rashly.

Pinching his brow, An Chen revised his plan.

The road ahead is long and arduous.

……

The next morning, An Chen rented a dilapidated little tricycle, carried the cat carrier, and went to the place written on the card.

He hesitated for a moment when entering the community.

As an apartment building, isn't the building in front of us a bit too big and too elaborate?

After thinking for a while, An Chen asked the driver to stop the car.

He picked up the small card and checked the address again.

"what are you doing?"

Just as he was wondering, a pleasant voice came from behind him.

Today, Jiuge is wearing a pure white lace dress, and her long, black hair is neatly draped over her shoulders.

Under the perfect lighting, her already exceptionally fair skin glowed as if reflected off glass.

Jiuge stared blankly at the dilapidated tricycle in front of her.

"move place."

An Chen answered without thinking.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the apartment in front of him and asked, "What is this?"

"apartment."

Are you sure it's not a small villa?

"..."

After entering the apartment, An Chen opened the cat carrier.

As soon as the cat landed, it darted under the sofa in the first-floor living room at top speed.

Following Jiuge's directions, he carried his suitcase upstairs and found his room.

The second floor isn't high; if you open the window and look down, there's a very suitable spot to stand.

Satisfied, An Chen closed the window and began putting things away.

He doesn't have much stuff, just some clothes, some daily necessities, and the rest is all cat food and cat litter.

The things were packed up quickly, and before long, An Chen returned to the first floor.

The apartment has two floors; the first floor is large but empty.

At first glance, apart from standard appliances, a television, a large sofa, and several cabinets filled with all sorts of colorful crystals, there was nothing else.

The second floor has two rooms and a study, with the study sandwiched between the two rooms.

"Have you been living here alone all this time?" An Chen asked casually as he sat down on the sofa after taking the tea Jiu Ge offered.
