Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 115: Can You See It? (5th update)

"You know how ghost stories are; as long as there’s some fertile ground, all sorts of tales can be spun. Schools have stories like disappearing steps or the woman in white in the bathroom, so an office building where several people have actually died... Many companies are seizing the chance to demand rent reductions, and some even want to move out."

Chuci spoke for a while, then took a sip of alcohol to moisten his throat, shrugged, and said softly, "Uncle Cai is worried that if things get out of hand, it will damage his reputation and make rent collections difficult. So, to calm the tenants, he specifically invited a master to take a look and dispel any evil and bad luck. But the master he invited was terrifying!"

Jiang Yuan picked up a bite of food and tried it; indeed, it tasted good.

Then, he listened like hearing a storyteller, waiting for the most exciting part to be revealed.

"The master Uncle Cai invited set up an incense table, and upon arrival, pointed out that a woman was killed on the eleventh floor. He said that after she died, she didn’t go where she was supposed to, and has gained momentum! From the eleventh floor, she started killing people all the way down to the ground floor, so she could escape the office building and cause havoc elsewhere."

Jiang Yuan nodded silently, "I’ve heard that some people who weren’t supposed to die and ended up in the City of Unjust Death, if they don’t go there, they linger in the mortal world trapped where they died, some endlessly repeating the actions they did before they died. Like continuously climbing stairs and jumping down, climbing and jumping again, without a guide, they cycle indefinitely. But this directly killing people, that’s not what ordinary vengeful spirits do..."

Even Ding Zhuzi, who swiftly absorbed the remaining energy within the statue to become a vengeful spirit, could only confuse people’s minds and devour souls after they died, but couldn’t directly harm them.

Could ghosts in the real world be more powerful than those in Wilderness World?

"Exactly! The master also said the vengeful spirits were extraordinary. When he performed magic, he jumped, rolled, and flipped, claiming to have invited True Monarch Erlang to descend to the mortal world, but he didn’t catch the vengeful spirit. He fell from the eleventh floor all the way to the eighth floor, snapping his arms and legs!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s face turn solemn, Chuci hurriedly patted his shoulder and laughed, "I asked if you would take the job, not to have you fight the vengeful spirit head-on. Mainly, after the master was hospitalized, he said the vengeful spirit was extremely fierce and violent, and to avoid further innocent killings, there needs to be a way to calm her down temporarily.

I was wondering, bro, do you have any incense with effects stronger than Soothing Incense to dizzy the vengeful spirit first, and later find a more powerful master to capture her."

Chuci knew this brother was capable of more than just Soothing Incense.

After all, when his father invited the master to check the hilltop villa, he directly pointed out the root cause—being haunted by a water ghost that snuck into the courtyard’s koi pond from the surrounding water element system at night!

But why did things improve immediately after using Soothing Incense?

The master analyzed, either the incense serves more than one calming function, forming a protective effect like an array after burning to counter the water ghost; or Jiang Yuan secretly used some magic without saying.

The master sensed the burning force of the flame by the koi pond, which directly drove away the water ghost!

Just when he was planning to treat Jiang Yuan to introduce him to some prominent figures, Uncle Cai was asking around to find someone powerful to solve the haunted office issue. Upon hearing they had recently invited a renowned master, he inquired thoroughly.

But the master’s schedule was packed, and he was currently abroad, unable to fly back specifically to resolve the issue. freewebnσvel.cøm

Chuci was thinking of acting as a middleman to make everyone happy and build ties; if he failed, it wouldn’t matter, as he tried his best. Jiang Yuan earning some extra cash for a few incense sticks wouldn’t be dangerous.

"Is the office building convenient to visit now?" Jiang Yuan wanted to test the knowledge he learned from Wilderness World and figure out whether basic settings apply to the real world.

But he couldn’t make any guarantees.

He didn’t want others to have overly high expectations; otherwise, if he failed, it would ruin his reputation.

Conversely, without exaggerated expectations, if he could resolve the issue smoothly, they would find him impressive and humble, highlighting his reliability.

Upon hearing there’s hope, Chuci immediately responded, "Convenient! The master’s injury was day before yesterday, and Uncle Cai, after his resources shrank, also became timid, afraid something serious would happen with no explanation.

He negotiated with all the companies to ensure everyone leaves by 5:30 PM, guaranteeing that the office building is empty at night. So far, there haven’t been any deaths in the past two days. If you want to take a look, we can go after we finish eating."

With the ghost stories discussed, Jiang Yuan, who initially felt a bit restrained in such an occasion, quickly got into the mood. The food was both delicious and presentable, but the portions were a bit small; the two of them finished eight dishes, a soup, and two extra servings of staple food to feel full.

Feeling satisfied, Jiang Yuan first handed him a specially boxed set of three Sleeping Incense sticks and explained how to use them.

Afterward, having drunk a bit, both of them rode in Chuci’s car, with the driver taking them to Xuri Plaza.

"How about it, can you see anything from outside?" Chuci lowered the window, craning his neck to look out, secretly envying Jiang Yuan for being able to see things ordinary people can’t; how cool is that!

Maybe he’d even encounter True Skill and find the right way to cultivate for longevity.

Jiang Yuan glanced outside and exclaimed, "Damn it! This is broad daylight with the sun shining brightly!"

In normal people’s understanding, both wandering and vengeful spirits fear sunlight. Especially now, right after lunch, when Yang Energy is at its peak. From the parking lot at the plaza, he looked toward Room 1102 in Building B, and surprisingly, faint Yin Fiend energy was emanating from the window.

However, considering there haven’t been any attacks with the early closing in recent days, it seems the vengeful spirit still fears coming out during the day. It’s safe to enter and investigate the situation for experience.

"What’s wrong? What did you see? There can’t be a female ghost squatting around now, can there?" Chuci looked up and down, left and right, not spotting anything unusual, feeling curious yet tense and scared.

Jiang Yuan immediately decided to forego going straight upstairs but first checked the security footage in the control room.

With everyone on edge in recent days, even the security responsible for monitoring had withdrawn the night shift. The chairman personally called to open the way, and the staff retrieved the earliest footage of the security guard’s death as Jiang Yuan requested.

"That night on the night shift, Uncle Zhang went to check each floor for safety issues while another stood by in the monitoring room. Seeing him enter the restroom on the eleventh floor, they thought he was using the toilet and didn’t pay much attention. After ten minutes with no movement, thinking he got absorbed in his phone in a blind spot, they tried contacting him via intercom, but got static noise and couldn’t reach him. Realizing something was wrong, they went to check. Despite attempts at CPR and calling an ambulance, he was gone."

The young man responsible for replaying the footage sighed.

Jiang Yuan watched twice closely, then pressed the pause button, pointed at the screen, and asked, "Can you see that?"

The screen paused at the scene of the security guard entering the restroom, with his left leg already inside, his body and right leg maintaining a walk posture. If one didn’t observe closely, they wouldn’t notice—the position where the guard’s right leg crossed with the restroom door frame revealed a small part clearly belonging to a woman’s smooth, slender calf, and half a black high heel shoe.
