As long as you have the courage, fierce ghosts go on maternity leave.

Chapter 159: This idiot is my friend

Room 108 of Fierce Ghost Apartment shimmered with light as Alexander’s figure appeared within. Annie and Su Rong were not in the room, likely accompanying Full Moon on a tour of Ghost Street.

However, Alexander’s purpose of returning was to check out the mysterious and uninhabited 18th floor.

Instead of summoning Su Rong and Annie via a contract, he simply walked out of the room and headed for the top floor of the apartment.

After arriving in the world of horror, Alexander quickly became a resident of the Fierce Ghost Apartment. However, this place was still the world of horror, caution was necessary.

This was his first time setting foot on the top floor of the apartment.

Second floor, third floor, fourth floor... He ascended step by step, level by level.

The lengthy stairs seemed endless, the dark corridors flickered with dim lights. The gloomy sky outside the occasional windows seemed even murkier, while the facilities inside the apartment appeared relatively normal.

Particularly from the fourth floor and above, even the distinctive bloodstains of the horror world were nowhere to be seen. The ceiling no longer had human heads as decorations, but legitimate chandeliers, exuding a bit of vintage luxury.

The floor and walls were spotless, the shiny white tiles so clear they could practically serve as mirrors.

No wonder Skinning Ghost always looked envious whenever the upper floors of the apartment were mentioned. Compared to the lower floors, this place was a heaven for him with his extreme obsession with cleanliness.

"The stronger one is, the more they seem like a normal person, huh?" Alexander mused, continuing his upward journey.

He soon reached the 13th floor. As he rounded the stair corner, he came face to face with a figure, or rather, a ghost.

This was a man bundled in a down jacket. The man was not overweight, but was clad in layers of thick down. His entire body seemed enveloped in a layer of frost. His eyebrows, hair, and even his clothes were all covered in a thick layer of frost.

Wherever his feet touched, a thin layer of ice crystals would be left behind.

He was a Soldier-class ghost on the brink of advancing to General-class, with a special frost talent. Alexander quickly made this judgment.

While alive, one’s birth and background mattered. In death, it was equally important to consider the cause of death.

A good death conferred considerable innate advantages. In contrast, a mundane death was very disadvantageous.

Take Mary the Nun, or even Alexander’s brother Tony for example, their disadvantage was due to their plain deaths, without significant talents after turning into ghosts.

Those like Skinning Ghost and Head-holding Ghost fell into the second category. Although their talents weren’t particularly useful, their unique deaths resulted in a natural grudge much higher than other ghosts, giving them a relatively stronger combat power under normal circumstances.

The strongest were like the man before him or the Electric Death Ghost. Especially the Electric Death Ghost, his death was perfect.

Upon entering the horror world, he directly awakened talents like lightning, and his combat power was many times higher than ghosts of the same rank.

"Hehe..." As Alexander was pondering, a strange laugh suddenly rang by his ear.

Alexander looked at the frost-covered man wrapped in a thick down jacket, noting his excited and ferocious expression, he couldn’t help but ask, "Your laugh sounds so unpleasant, are you a villain by any chance?"

"Kid, a mere worm like you dares to show up here, and you’re so calm seeing me. Interesting indeed!" said the Frozen Ghost, who couldn’t help but chuckle weirdly. "Since I’m so lucky to have encountered a meaty worm, naturally I should first enjoy this rare delicacy!"

"You’re not a resident of the Fierce Ghost Apartment, are you?" Alexander asked somewhat helplessly.

If it was a resident of the Fierce Ghost Apartment, they would definitely know Alexander’s identity.

Inside the apartment, even the Ghost King-level Thomas wouldn’t dare to act rashly, let alone the Frozen Ghost before him, who only had the strength of a soldier.

"Why should you care? My identity is none of your business, meat worm!"

Upon hearing Alexander’s words, the Frozen Ghost seemed to have touched some sore spot. He instantly became furious, his cold aura intensifying, and coldly said:

"Come on, worm. The fact that you could make it to the Fierce Ghost Apartment means you must have some abilities. Show me what you got, so you can die swiftly!"

"Since you insist on taking action here, I have no choice..." Alexander shook his head and took a deep breath.

He’s not just a simple Chosen One, is he going to use a trump card?

The Frozen Ghost instantly became alert.

Although he was not a Ghost Master, his job was to help a General-level Ghost Master guard the Ghost Bead. Thanks to his job, he had led a few instances and had some understanding of these human Chosen Ones.

Their abilities were average, but often some of them would come up with unexpected items.

The young man before him didn’t seem to be particularly powerful, but the fact that he could make it to the Fierce Ghost Apartment meant he must have some special trump card.

Therefore, the Frozen Ghost did not take it lightly and prepared his full defensive posture, shouting, "Come on, use your trump card, let me see what level you meat worms can reach!"

Amidst the Frozen Ghost’s expectant and alert gaze, Alexander took a deep breath, then slowly opened his mouth.

"Hmm!"

Before Alexander could fully open his mouth, the Frozen Ghost waved his hand, and countless ice crystals gathered in front of him, forming a shield directly. The Frozen Ghost hid behind the shield, looking at Alexander:

"As I thought, to be able to get here, you do have your own trump card! Is it a ghost skill that spits? If I were only Fierce-class, maybe I wouldn’t be your opponent, but unfortunately, I’m Soldier-class! And I’m top-tier Soldier-class!"

Alexander looked at him with an expression as if looking at an idiot, feeling very helpless.

How could this guy be so full of himself? Has he ever thought about whether ordinary Chosen Ones could survive to the third floor of the Fierce Ghost Apartment?

Seeing the Frozen Ghost prepared to resist Alexander’s attack with his shield, Alexander didn’t want to waste time with him. He took a deep breath and roared:

"Whoever is friends with this frozen idiot, come get him! Otherwise, if I beat him to death, I won’t be responsible!"

"You’re insane!" The Frozen Ghost, who had been waiting for Alexander to make his move, saw Alexander suddenly yell and immediately became frantic. "Bug, do you know where this is? How dare you yell here, are you out of your mind?"

Thump!

Just as the Frozen Ghost finished speaking, the door of a room not far away opened abruptly.

Andy, dressed in his pajamas and slippers, ran out in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "He’s my friend! Big brother Alexander, this idiot is my friend!"
