"Gavin!"

As Kate ran to the room door, it was suddenly pushed open forcefully, slamming into her and knocking her to the ground. Then, her boyfriend Gavin, as if he'd seen a ghost, ran out of the room without looking back and sprinted down the hallway…

"Garvin..." Kate was about to call out to Gavin when she suddenly saw a woman's figure following her out of the room.

Seemingly noticing Kate's presence, the woman turned and glanced at her.

That one look seemed to render Kate speechless, and she stopped talking about her boyfriend's name.

"Oh!"

The woman vanished without a trace before Kate's eyes.

Gavin either saw a ghost, or he saw a ghost!

Kate, realizing what was happening, could no longer see her boyfriend. The fear of seeing a ghost made her instinctively want to run. She quickly got to her feet, grabbed the ground with both hands, and ran towards the Su family's direction, shouting as she ran, "Quick, get out of here—there's a ghost here!"

Leaving a haunted place is just an instinct. Even knowing that the ghosts might not return after disappearing, leaving still brings a sense of peace.

When Kate saw that Sue was unmoved, she ran over and grabbed his arm, trying to take him away, but Sue grabbed her hand and pulled her to a stop.

"Don't panic, there are no ghosts here!"

“Yes, there really is a ghost! I saw it! It was right there just now!” Kate thought Sue didn’t believe her.

“I know she’s gone. There are no ghosts around here now.”

"Are you...are you sure? How do you know you don't?" Sue's words gradually calmed Kate down, but she was still a little uneasy and flustered.

"Because I can see it. When I reminded Gavin before, I said that there are plenty of good brothers here, and the one we just saw is not an exception. If he wants to go, he should be prepared."

Su gave Kate a little time to catch her breath before continuing, "You don't need to worry about Gavin. Although he's not very bright, he's quite fast. Uh... never mind. He actually managed to run himself to the point of collapsing and fainting. His mental fortitude is something else."

"You...you can see Gavin?" Kate couldn't help but feel a little doubtful when she saw Sue's reaction.

Gavin isn't even here, so how come it seems like you can see him?

"sure!"

After thinking for a moment, Sue took off her sunglasses. Her bluish-white pupils startled Kate. Fortunately, Kate was smart enough not to lose her temper just because she suddenly saw that Sue's eyes had changed.

"your eyes……"

"The Byakugan is a special kind of bloodline limit. If you don't understand, just think of it as a superpower. My eyes can see through everything in 360 degrees, so even in the dark with buildings blocking the view, I can still see Gavin. The female ghost didn't keep chasing him. He was just scared, and then... he fell down and passed out."

"So you wore sunglasses at first to avoid scaring us, you knew there were ghosts here all along? Then... then why did you come here in the first place?" Kate suddenly realized, then became even more puzzled.

Sue shrugged: "Actually, Gavin and I have similar ideas. He wants to take risks, while I want to see all kinds of supernatural creatures. I'm very interested in these things."

"Should we...should we go find Gavin first and then leave here as soon as possible?" Although Kate had calmed down, she was still very scared in this place that was really haunted, and she really didn't want to stay here for even a minute longer.

Ms. Su shook her head: "Do you think this haunted place is your boyfriend's room where he can come and go as he pleases? The doors and windows here have been locked by some mysterious force. Under normal circumstances, only by completely eliminating the ghosts here can we leave. Of course, there are unconventional methods, but I don't want to use them."

"I won't leave until I see the real culprit. Besides, I'm already here, so I have to get rid of this ghost to prevent others from being harmed here in the future."

Kate took a deep breath: "Okay, alright, so how do we deal with the ghost?"

Su coughed a few times, and the Su family's little class began. "Usually, you can use salt or iron to ward off ghosts. To completely get rid of them, you must burn their corpse or anything related to them. If you can't find that, you have to find a way to dispel their resentment."

“There are many ghosts here. What you and Gavin saw was just one of them. Actually, she and the other ghosts didn’t mean to harm us. They just wanted to convey a message.”

"What message...what message are you conveying?"

"Messages that can resolve their resentment, or rather, messages that cause them to become vengeful spirits."

Su saw several terrifying-looking ghosts emerging from all around him. These ghosts surrounded him and stared at him, seemingly waiting for something, or perhaps they knew that Su could see them and were not afraid of them. They could provide clues at any time.

“After we parted ways during the day, I investigated this asylum. It used to be a mental hospital. Years ago, a riot occurred here, which resulted in many deaths and missing bodies, including a doctor named Elcott, who was also the director. After that, the place was abandoned.”

While claiming to be investigating, Su was actually recalling the plot.

"Dr. Elcott, well, let's just call him Dean. What he's done is hardly worthy of being called a doctor. The Dean's tireless work day and night has caused him to develop psychological problems. He's been experimenting on mental patients, trying to achieve a therapeutic effect by releasing the Iceman's anger, but the result is that it triggers even stronger violent emotions in the patients, leading to murder and riots."

......... ....... .......

“Angry and manic patients lost their minds and took over the hospital. They attacked doctors and each other. I imagine it must have been very bloody. Some bodies were never found, including the hospital director's. The police searched the entire place. I guess the patients hid his body. That's pretty ruthless.”

For ordinary people, not being able to find a body is a very painful thing, especially for the deceased's family. Unfortunately, patients are unaware of the consequences of hiding a body.

"You mean, the message those ghosts are conveying is that they want us to get rid of the Dean's soul?" Kate asked speculatively.

Su nodded.

When they were human, the dean tormented them; when they were ghosts, the dean did not spare them either. Even when they were extremely wicked, they were still better than ordinary people as ghosts. This may be related to their beliefs.

The dean's conviction was so strong that it caused him to have psychological problems while he was alive, not to mention his delirious state after death. Su remembered that this guy could not only generate electric shocks with his hands, but also ignite the anger in people's hearts, making them lose their minds and become irritable and easily angered.

PS: As expected, I still failed to achieve the goal of 10 chapters after the book was released. Also, the subscription numbers are really... the worst among my eight books. I thought the previous book, Dimensional Street, was the bottom line, but I didn't expect this one to be the king. Even if the subscriptions double, it still won't be as high as Dimensional Street. The difference between popular and unpopular themes is too big.

Also, there will be more updates later. What a loss.

Chapter 76 Who says women are inferior to men?

The ghosts that had been silently watching suddenly moved. Almost simultaneously, they pounced on the Su family. Their uncontrollable madness and excitement were like finding water in the desert, or encountering their own kind in the apocalypse. Even the air could not conceal the eagerness emanating from them...

Su was surprised by the sudden and intense reaction from the ghosts. Even if I had guessed their intentions and purposes, they didn't need to be so enthusiastic.

"call out--"

Just as the ghosts were about to pounce, Su suddenly disappeared, and then almost simultaneously reappeared in another direction.

The art of Flying Thunder God.

Since acquiring the Flying Thunder God Technique, he has developed a habit of leaving the Flying Thunder God mark wherever he goes.

It has to be said that this technique is really convenient. Having this technique is like having countless layers of insurance. Unless it is an isolation between different dimensions, such as the Heavenly Nine Seven Seven Halls of Hell, he would dare to break into even the most dangerous places without any preparation.

The ghosts who had come up empty-handed were dumbfounded, as was Kate, who had watched helplessly as Su disappeared and then reappeared from the side.

Is this some kind of magical transformation?!

"What...what happened?" Since the ghosts didn't appear, Kate naturally couldn't see them.

"While I do like supernatural beings, you don't have to be so enthusiastic. If they were beautiful or even normal, that would be fine, but your current appearance... well... is best admired from afar, best admired from afar!"

Su waved her hand to stop them and turned to the ghosts that continued to pounce on them: "Room 137, Room 137, right? The dean's body is hidden in the secret room of Room 137! Oh, and there's also the patient log left by the dean. You don't need it anymore, so you don't mind if I take it with me to keep as a memento, right? Hmm, no one answers, which means no one minds. So it's settled then."

This was the first time Mr. Su had experienced a ghostly event, making this patient's logbook a valuable keepsake and keepsake.

"Let's go, let's go to the basement to deal with the dean, and we can wake Gavin up on the way." Su called out to Kate. Although Kate was dazed and couldn't see the ghost, she carefully gave way to Su as she walked towards her, almost like she was carefully avoiding the elderly people when squeezing onto a bus.

If this scene were recorded, it would definitely be considered a masterpiece of pantomime.

Sue led the way, Kate followed behind, and the ghosts followed in a long procession. Before long, they encountered Gavin, who had fainted and was lying on the ground.

Kate quickly went over and woke Gavin up. Gavin, once awake, loudly warned the two that there was a ghost. His panicked little expression and fearful little voice...tsk tsk...unexpectedly revealed her effeminate side.

Of course, this "mother" doesn't refer to a sissy, but rather to someone who's less timid than a girl. Looking at their reactions, one panicked and ran blindly when faced with a ghost, while the other knew to run towards their companion and even warn them. It's obvious who's more timid.

Gavin's IQ seems to drop to negative numbers when he's scared, while Kate at least retains some intelligence.

"Let's get out of here quickly," Gavin said urgently.

"No, we can't leave yet."

"Why? Why can't we leave!"

Before Kate could explain, Gavin started to get agitated.

Kate explained in detail what happened after Gavin ran away and fainted, including Sue's ability to see ghosts, the ghosts following them but not intending to harm them, only hoping for help to be freed, the events that happened here back then, the Dean's actions, and the fact that this place has been sealed off and the Dean must be dealt with before they can leave, etc.

“You…you’re so amazing, maybe we shouldn’t go down with you? We…we can’t help you anyway, so we don’t want to cause you any trouble,” Gavin said hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter. If you want to see it, come with me. If not, just wait for me here."

Su didn't expect them to stick with her. It wasn't like they were teaming up to fight monsters. It was already good enough that the two of them, being ordinary people, could keep from causing trouble. As long as they didn't affect her, Su was really easy to talk to.

My impression of Gavin has changed from that of a stranger or someone I know to someone I don't want to associate with.

Running off to a place like this to meet his girlfriend is one thing; men can be childish and clueless sometimes, which is understandable. Even if his reaction of abandoning his girlfriend when he was scared away can be explained as an overreaction and a lapse in judgment, Su really can't stand his cowardice and lack of responsibility.

Kate, a girl, didn't say she would wait here and let Sue go by herself. How could you, a man, a man who dares to bring his girlfriend to a place like this for a date, have the nerve to say that?

Earth Release: Rock Concealment Technique

Su formed a hand seal, and the ground beneath his feet instantly turned into flowing mud, allowing him to disappear into the mud.

"This……"

Gavin and Kate stared in disbelief at Sue's bizarre disappearance, then felt a chill pass by them, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The ghosts followed Su Shi away.

“I think we should go down. Although Su is very powerful, what if he encounters danger alone? We came here together, and he even helped us. I don’t think it’s a good idea to let him face danger alone now,” Kate said to Gavin after a moment’s hesitation.

Gavin said, "It should be fine, right? We don't know how to deal with ghosts anyway, going down there would only make things worse."

“Here’s some iron. Iron can temporarily ward off ghosts!” Kate picked up a discarded iron rod from the side, which looked like the leg of an iron chair.

“I…” Gavin still hesitated.

"Never mind, I'll go myself. You wait for me here." Kate said, then grabbed the stool leg, took the flashlight, and chased after him towards the basement.

Gavin hesitated, gritted his teeth, and finally followed.

Basement, Room 137.

This is an abandoned office, dilapidated and filled with piles of garbage.

Su slid down from the roof, looked around, and immediately spotted the abandoned bookcase in the corner, where she found a patient's log that appeared to be stained with blood.

A quick glance revealed records of how each patient was tortured, their reactions to each instance of torture, and the direction and content of the next experiment.

Keeping the patient log close to her body, Su could already see the secret room behind the wall through her glare. It looked like the place where the dean tortured patients and conducted experiments. At the same time, in the cabinet in the corner of the secret room, a shriveled corpse was crammed inside, which was the dean's corpse.

"Earth Release: Rock Concealment Technique!"

Once again, Su used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to dive underground. A moment later, Su emerged from the secret room.

As soon as he emerged from the ground, Bai Yan saw an old man wearing blood-stained clothes, withered and pale skin, and his right eye looking like it was about to fall out. His hands were crackling with azure electricity as he reached for his head.
