After instructing Li Xiulan not to wander off, Zuo Si re-entered the teaching building.
He randomly selected a classroom on the first floor and used the Mysterious Music Box to summon the children.
The music box began to play.
The spirits of the six children appeared one by one. Seeing them again, Zuo Si felt no fear, but rather a sense of familiarity.
“After completing this mission, there’s a high chance of receiving a Terror Scenario reward. Then, they’ll be my Ghost Employees,” Zuo Si thought to himself. “Their places of death will be moved to my haunted house; under my management, they definitely won’t become evil spirits.”
He looked at the six children and asked,
“What games do you want to play? Whatever you like, I can play with you until dawn…”
Before Zuo Si finished speaking, two ghostly figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the doorway.
Zuo Si recognized them. If he wasn’t mistaken, these were Chen Lei and Li Mengchao, mentioned in Ye Yingjie’s diary.
In their lives, one liked to bully the weak, and the other loved to spread rumors and tattle.
They were also one of the main culprits that drove Ye Yingjie to suicide.
The fact that they haven’t been completely destroyed is a testament to Ye Yingjie’s leniency.
Since Ye Yingjie didn’t want to kill them, Zuo Si wanted to respect his wishes and let it go.
However, while Zuo Si wanted to show leniency, these two ghosts were ungrateful.
They actually reached for the wondrous music box again.
Zuo Si quickly pulled the music box into his arms, glaring angrily at the two ghosts.
He cursed, “Get out! I don’t want to kill you, don’t be ungrateful!”
Faced with Zuo Si’s threat, the two ghosts remained unmoved.
Chen Lei grinned fiercely.
Li Mengchao, on the other hand, smiled sinisterly, seemingly mocking Zuo Si’s overestimation of his abilities.
They exuded a chilling aura and approached Zuo Si step by step, clearly intending to kill him and seize the wondrous music box.
Zuo Si sneered. He wasn’t as kind-hearted as Gu Yiyi, who couldn’t bring herself to harm anyone. Since these two ghosts are courting death, let their souls be shattered!
“Yingjie! Tear them apart!”
At Zuo Si’s command, a black shadow darted out from behind him in an instant.
A murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire classroom, and all the ghosts trembled in fear.
Ye Yingjie had seen everything clearly. Those two b@stards, Chen Lei and Li Mengchao, actually tried to kill his only friend!
How could he possibly tolerate this!
Enveloped in yin energy, his murderous intent merging with his killing intent, he approached the two ghosts step by step.
Chen Lei and Li Mengchao immediately cowered, kneeling on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
But at this moment, how could Ye Yingjie still tolerate them?
Like a phantom, he frantically tore at the souls of the two ghosts.
Chen Lei and Li Mengchao screamed in agony, and soon they turned into wisps of yin energy and vanished into the world.
Although eliminating these two b@stards might affect the mission’s completion rate… But Zuo Si disagreed.
In his view, these two ghosts deserved to die, and he had intended to respect Ye Yingjie’s choice and spare them.
However, he hadn’t expected them to court death.
The rest of the time, Zuo Si started playing games with the school children.
With Ye Yingjie’s help, everything went smoothly.
Because there was no danger, the live stream quality was high, and the horror atmosphere was very well created.
He believed that after this live stream, he would earn a high amount of fear points.
However, the only thing that made Zuo Si feel regretful was that he didn’t see Qin Shuangya again.
Was this poor woman really gone?
As dawn broke, the ghostly figures of the six children disappeared into the shadows.
After saying goodbye to the viewers in the live stream, Zuo Si ended the day’s live stream.
Buzz! Buzz!
His black phone vibrated. The mission was complete. He wondered how much he had gained tonight.
Zuo Si took out his phone and looked at the screen.

[Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on acquiring eight Ghost Employees. Tomorrow morning, they will be deployed to your haunted house along with the Terror Scenario.]
“…”
Zuo Si was stunned: “Eight? Including Ye Yingjie, there should only be seven! Could it be? Qin Shuangya isn’t dead?”
He quickly began searching for information on the Ghost Employees.
Sure enough, he found Qin Shuangya’s name!
[Name: Qin Shuangya.
Soul Level: Vengeful Spirit.
Growth Potential: Average.
Affection: ★★.
Special Ability: Prayer.
Special Ability Strength: Extremely Poor.
Description of Special Ability Origin: She hoped every day that her wish would come true, even resorting to special means. Gradually, this formed a kind of mental power.]
“She is still alive!”
A huge weight was finally lifted from Zuo Si’s heart. His greatest fear was owing someone anything. Now, finally, there’s a chance to repay the debt.
He then looked at the other people’s information.
[Name: Ye Yingjie.
Soul Level: Top-tier Vengeful Spirit.
Growth Potential: Relatively Strong.
Favorability: ★★★.
Special Ability: Shadow Concealment.
Special Ability Strength: Relatively Strong.
Description of Special Ability Origin: He lived in constant fear, without a moment of peace. Gradually, he learned to hide himself, concealing himself in a corner where no one would notice, making him undetectable.]
“So powerful!”
Ye Yingjie’s attributes surprised Zuo Si. Being a top-tier vengeful spirit was one thing, but he even possessed the relatively strong special ability ‘Shadow Concealment’!
“Ge Hong’s special ability is also ‘Shadow Concealment,’ but its strength is ‘weak.’ Yet even so, it allows him to remain undetected by ghosts of the same level.”
“Does that mean that if Ye Yingjie wants to hide himself, even ghosts much stronger than him won’t be able to detect him?!”
This was an incredible surprise!
In this way, Zuo Si can take Ye Yingjie with him when carrying out missions!
