Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 344 Heavenly Master 51

After the military training, formal classes began. High school courses are undoubtedly intense, but freshman year is relatively easy. The homeroom teacher wasn’t overly strict, so students still had some time to play after class.

Coincidentally, Shuangshuang’s seatmate was the same girl who stayed next to her during military training, named Han Qiao Yu. She was very lively and hyper, and particularly outgoing! Shuangshuang’s cold demeanor made the entire class wary, except for Han Qiao Yu. She would often chat idly with Shuangshuang during military training.

Of course, Shuangshuang always responded perfunctorily with hmms and ahs, yet Han Qiao Yu didn’t seem discouraged.

In truth, Shuangshuang didn’t want to be friends with such enthusiastic people because they are warm-hearted but tend to speak without thinking.

Shuangshuang feared that once they got really familiar, Han Qiao Yu might unknowingly ignite her temper during a conversation, and it might not even be intentional. Being friends with such people is great for normal folks, but for someone like her, whose temper can rise inexplicably and needs time to calm down, it’s a kind of torture!

Though Shuangshuang was aloof, she couldn’t resist Han Qiao Yu’s enthusiasm. This girl’s persuasive skills matched her name; her words were always pleasing. Even someone like Shuangshuang, who deliberately distanced herself from others, gradually got used to Han Qiao Yu being around.

Han Qiao Yu was good with words and had great popularity. She often heard little rumors and shared them all with Shuangshuang.

After school one day, as Han Qiao Yu was walking with Shuangshuang as usual, she pulled Shuangshuang into a corner mysteriously and whispered, "Sister Shuangshuang, do you know there’s a particularly terrifying ghost house in our city?"

"Ghost house!" Chen Qi is the most powerful Heavenly Master in the city, and the entire city falls under the domain of the Heavenly Masters from Chen Qi and Shuangshuang’s lineage.

So after hearing Han Qiao Yu’s words, Shuangshuang seriously contemplated whether she had purged all the Evil Ghosts from her territory or left any harmful spirits behind.

With her head lowered, Shuangshuang mentally counted on her fingers. There were only a few ghost houses in the city, likely just rumors scaring people. The only genuine ghost house had already been dealt with by sending the ghost to the Underworld long ago. Once she calculated it, she realized she genuinely didn’t know of any other ghosts.

Thus, Shuangshuang honestly shook her head. Seeing Shuangshuang’s response, Han Qiao Yu seemed a bit surprised and exclaimed, "No way! The Red House in front! It’s such a famous ghost house, and you haven’t heard of it? I heard that there was a murder case there over ten years ago. The whole family died, and ever since then, they lingered, causing anyone who enters their house to meet a tragic end!"

Han Qiao Yu shivered as she spoke, looking terrified, yet there was a secret excitement in her expression. Sure enough, in the next moment, Han Qiao Yu, in a particularly enticing voice, said, "Shuangshuang, aren’t you curious to see if the rumors are true or if ghosts really exist?"

Shuangshuang shook her head to show no interest. She knew that Red House—there weren’t any ghosts inside. Not all ghosts can stay in the mortal world; not all have enough obsession to break through the force of Yin Yang to remain in the mortal world and seek revenge on their enemies.

In fact, very few can do this. Most ghosts are pulled into the cycle of reincarnation at the moment of death. Even if they can’t enter reincarnation, the patrolling Yin Cha will swiftly discover and escort them to the Underworld!

Seeing Shuangshuang’s disinterest, Han Qiao Yu sighed in disappointment, saying, "I thought you wouldn’t be interested, but I’ve made plans with a few friends to go there for an adventure. I’ll tell you all about it when I return!"

Saying this, Han Qiao Yu’s tone turned excited again as she began to chatter about how terrifying the ghost house was and how many people who visited met a grim end, but Shuangshuang found it utterly dull. She finally got some peace and quiet when she and Han Qiao Yu parted ways at the fork in the road.

Shuangshuang wasn’t concerned about Han Qiao Yu and her friends’ ghost house adventure. After all, there were no ghosts; it was just a dilapidated, empty house. Nothing serious would happen, so she let the kids have their fun.

The next day, at school, Shuangshuang didn’t see her chatty deskmate Han Qiao Yu, which gave her a bad feeling.

This high school wasn’t a place for slackers. The school had very strict management of students. Only students with good grades could get in. Missing classes, let alone being late, was a big deal! Someone like Han Qiao Yu, who suddenly skipped class without a word, would make the whole class have to write reflections. No student wanted to be that embarrassed, so no one dared to be late!

Although Han Qiao Yu was lively and spontaneous, she was a good student and wouldn’t do such a thing. Recalling Han Qiao Yu’s words about going ghost house adventuring, Shuangshuang’s heart sank, feeling something happened to Han Qiao Yu!

Shuangshuang couldn’t sit still. Taking advantage of the teacher’s inattention, she snuck out of the classroom, went to a secluded spot, placed a Godspeed Talisman on herself, and headed straight for the Red House where Han Qiao Yu and her friends went for an adventure.

When she arrived at the Red House, a golden light flickered in Shuangshuang’s eyes. She opened the Dharma Eye, and her heart sank. This place had indeed changed!

Originally devoid of Ghost Qi, now there was a Barrier. It was one-way; anything could come in but not go out. It seemed whatever was inside had some skill. No wonder Han Qiao Yu didn’t attend class today; she must be trapped here. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Frowning, Shuangshuang thought back. This place didn’t have any ghosts a month ago, and now, in just one short month, not only did it have a ghost, but one with skill! That’s certainly irregular. Ghosts don’t move around easily. This one either had a purpose or was brought here by someone. Either way, it was troublesome, especially since Han Qiao Yu and presumably a few others were trapped inside.

Entering the Barrier directly, Shuangshuang closed her eyes and carefully sensed the area. Though there was heavy Yin Qi, she didn’t feel any resentful energy or murderous aura, indicating the ghost wasn’t a vengeful ghost and hadn’t harmed anyone yet. Han Qiao Yu and her friends were likely still alive.

Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were alive, it was good. She wasn’t sure what kind of ghost she faced and didn’t plan to alert it by revealing her identity as a Heavenly Master. So before entering the Barrier, Shuangshuang had already concealed her mana fluctuation, now appearing just like an ordinary person.

The outer walls of this house were adorned with red tiles, and the courtyard was filled with fiery red roses. When in bloom, it looked like a sea of red from afar, hence the name Red House.

The door of the Red House was open. As Shuangshuang stepped inside, she found it plain and ordinary, nothing special, not a soul in sight—an empty, ordinary house like any abandoned home.

Ah—

As Shuangshuang was considering the seemingly ordinary surroundings, searching for mystery, a girl’s shrill, terrified scream suddenly pierced the silence of the space!
