Chapter 63: Anne’s sister
Under Alexander’s powerful abilities, even the combined efforts of Su Rong and Annie were no match for him.
The next morning, Alexander woke up feeling full of energy, as if his body was brimming with inexhaustible strength.
As for Su Rong and Anna, they slept until almost noon before they woke up. Last night had indeed exhausted them.
Seeing them wake up, Alexander quickly asked, "Are you two alright? Also, isn’t this Su Rong’s room? Annie, why are you here?"
Annie walked over, wrapped her arm around Alexander’s, and cooed, "Well, of course, I wanted you, brother Alexander, to help me with something."
As she flirted, she habitually rubbed her long leg against Alexander. Soon, she noticed Alexander’s arousal, which frightened her and made her quickly step back.
"My God, last night was crazy enough. If we do it again... I can’t even imagine!"
Alexander also quickly moved to the side, bending his body to try and hide his visible arousal.
To alleviate the awkwardness, Alexander quickly changed the topic: "Help? With what?"
"Well, before my sister and I died, we were nurses. We had a rival..." Annie began recounting her past.
As Annie’s story unfolded, Alexander gradually understood the circumstances.
In short, after arriving in the world of horror, Annie and her sister opened a clinic on Ghost Street.
Her sister, who awakened a healing ability, took on the role of a doctor. Though illness is uncommon in the world of horror, there are many injured ghosts.
They, naturally, require treatment.
Even more are those with unfulfilled desires in life! For example, some ghosts with kidney deficiencies wish for kidneys, some ghosts who were short in life plan to get horse legs, and there are those who want breast augmentation, height increases, and so on.
These types of ghosts were all patients at the clinic!
Initially, the clinic’s business was good. But recently, a resident of the rival Isen Apartment next to Ghost Street opened a clinic not far from the Ghost Clinic!
Unlike the sisters who never opened instances, this ghost clinic would pay to open an instance every few days.
The selected ones who go in, whether nurses or doctors, had simple jobs: to receive patients.
There are rules in the world of horror, such as receiving patients. As long as you sincerely cure the patients, those ghosts wouldn’t dare to harm you!
Even the Blood Prince would first lure Alexander instead of attacking directly!
But treating ghosts is a troublesome matter. How could a selected human have such an ability? Aren’t they doomed to die?
"They can play like this?"
Alexander was shocked; this was intentional!
Except for him, someone else was playing this way too!
For some reason, when he heard about this, Alexander’s first reaction was—this clinic is too despicable!
"What do you want me to do? Do you also plan to open instances?" Alexander did not immediately make a stand but asked instead.
"We don’t know!" Annie made a sad face and lamented:
"We’ve never opened a horror instance before. We heard that it doesn’t make money. Those you’ve guided barely earn a few thousand ghost coins after so much hard work."
"Hmm?"
Su Rong and Alexander raised their eyebrows at the same time. Alexander didn’t expect that Annie was actually a hidden rich second-generation.
"Clinics, do they make a lot of money?" Alexander casually asked.
"It’s alright! Not much, definitely not as much as you make selling meatballs in the restaurant." Annie nodded and added after a thought, "Just over a thousand ghost coins a day."
A thousand, just over? That would amount to over thirty thousand in a month!
Suddenly, Alexander’s eyes lit up and quickly asked, "You mean to say, the clinic next door also makes a lot of money?"
"Definitely makes more money than ours!" Annie immediately replied.
"Great, it’s decided then!" Alexander slapped his thigh, looking at the heart-eating ghost, "Who has the authority, you or your sister?"
"My sister!" Annie answered honestly.
"Then let her come over, we need to discuss compensation!"
"Call my sister over?" Annie was slightly taken aback, then quickly shook her head, "No way, absolutely not, she can’t see you!"
"Why?" Alexander and Su Rong asked in unison, Alexander even more puzzled, "Doesn’t your sister like me? Or does she despise Chosen Ones?"
"No... not at all!" It seemed that mentioning her sister made Annie flustered, she hurriedly replied, "My sister really likes you, she really does, but that’s why she can’t come out! My sister... she’s not like me, she... she actually..."
Annie stuttered, seemingly unable to continue.
What kind of person was her sister? Had he met her before?
Alexander touched Annie’s ponytail and smiled, "Don’t worry, let your sister come and talk to me. In my heart, you’re the most adorable and beautiful."
Annie pouted, seemed to hesitate, and finally said, "Alright, I’ll let my sister out."
Hmm? Let her out? Something didn’t seem quite right!
A cold breeze suddenly stirred out of nowhere in the apartment.
Thick ghost qi transformed into black smoke, rising from the feet of the heart-eating ghost.
Annie’s attire began to change within the black smoke.
As if soaked in ink, it gradually turned black starting from her shoes. Her original cartoonish, somewhat thick white stockings, turned into thin, sexy black over-the-knee stockings.
Above the stockings on her right leg was a black leather leg band with a metal buckle. Further up was a pair of ultra-short denim shorts, not too tight, with a fringe of black tassels hanging down the sides, reaching the stockings.
She wore a large black T-shirt on top, with an eerie castle depicted on it. All the patterns were in various shades of black, except the leaves of the forest, which were blood red and sparsely scattered.
Around her neck was a leather choker, with the metal buckle at the front. The black collar contrasted with her fair skin, making her perfect swan-like neck even more flawless.
Her face was still the same, but it lost its adorable, youthful aura. There was a thumb-sized scorpion painted in red on her cheek near her eyes, making her overall look quite eerie and dark!
Even her aura had changed!
If she had seemed like an early stage evil spirit earlier, she now appeared to be at least a middle or late stage one.
But all these were less shocking to Alexander than the favorability overhead and the information transmitted into his mind.
"Favorability has reached 60 points, special effect of Social Communication Barrier-free Charm Syndrome is triggered! Reward: Ghost Qi +20, Ghost Coins +250, Collection of Annie in Black Stockings, Paper Money +20."
"Congratulations on reaching the peak value of 100 points for favorability. The special effect of Social Communication Barrier-free Charm Syndrome is triggered! You have received the ultimate reward for Annie’s friendship: Ghost Slave Contract! Dark Secret Treasure Organ Copier!"
The familiar black contract appeared, leaving Alexander in a state of confusion. Favorability had maxed out?
And there’s a contract as a reward, something that didn’t happen when Tony’s favorability maxed out!
Do rewards discriminate? Is it only female ghosts who offer contracts? Is this talent serious?
Of course, these aren’t the main points. The main point is, how did the favorability suddenly max out? He didn’t do anything!
Don’t think that it was easy for Alexander to get the full favorability of Su Rong and Tony at first.
Having a starting point for 60 favorability points is not difficult for someone like Alexander, who is well-versed in human relationships. But reaching the maximum is different - that requires resolving the obsession in the heart of the evil spirit!
The obsession of a ghost is not constant. It’s not easy to understand it, let alone help the other party complete their obsession.
For example, in Su Rong’s case, Alexander took on hundreds of thousands in mortgage debt for her just to get that last bit of favorability.
The obsession of this heart-eating ghost is likely the clinic, but Alexander has only promised to help, without even offering any feasible suggestions. Yet, the favorability rose by a whole 50 points!
What’s even more shocking is that the displayed favorability value above the heart-eating ghost’s head is not 100 but "ex."
Maxed out, at the limit! Who would have thought such a value existed? And it was reached just like that?
Looking at the heart-eating ghost, Alexander had an inkling of who the sister mentioned by the white stocking heart-eating ghost might be.
Split personality, turning into a ghost with two forms! One body, twin lives - the younger sister is the white stocking, and the elder sister must be this dark, black stocking heart-eating ghost!
Not understanding the favorability issue, Alexander decided to focus on the main issue at hand. However, when he met the gaze of the heart-eating ghost, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.
That look in her eyes was full of intense love, so thick it was terrifying! It was as if a little girl was looking at her doll being taken away by a playmate.
"Big brother..." The black stocking heart-eating ghost spoke up, her voice not as soft and cute as the white stocking but rather trembling with excitement, "Annie is finally out, Annie loves you so much!"
"Um... are you guys... twin-spirited ghosts? Two souls in one body?" Alexander felt a bit awkward, after all, setting aside the ghostly white stocking, this black stocking was technically meeting him for the first time.
Although they had a contract, it was still a bit uncomfortable to be confessed to upon first meeting.
"She’s my little sister!" The black stocking nodded, and then her pretty face showed a hint of ferocity: "If it weren’t for the fact that we are two souls in one body, I would never let her have the good fortune to be with you! You’re mine! Forever!"
Alexander suddenly understood why her favorability filled up so quickly, even higher than Su Rong’s.
"Brother, why don’t you come with Annie? Let’s go to my room! I’ll treat you well!" The black-stocking ghost didn’t wait for Alexander to think further. She grabbed his arm and was about to pull him away.
"Hold on, what are you doing?" Su Rong noticed something was off and hastily stopped them.
"Of course I’m taking brother home, to dry him out and hang him up! This way, he can always be with Heart-eater!" The black-stocking ghost explained as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Dry him out? Hang him up? Alexander’s face turned green.
"Sister, are you stopping Heart-eater because you also like brother? Right!" The black-stocking ghost spoke, then seemed to realize something.
"Sister, you were brother’s first official woman! This is troublesome, it seems I have to kill you, my rather nice sister. That way, I can become brother’s only woman!"
As the black-stocking ghost spoke, ghost energy started to radiate from her. Alexander noticed something was wrong, but it was already too late.
Ghost energy wrapped around the black-stocking ghost’s hand. The next moment, a giant black cleaver half the size of her body appeared in her hand.
She leaped into the air and swung it directly at Su Rong’s head. If it hit, Su Rong would undoubtedly be sliced in half.
"Stop!" Alexander shouted, and in his urgency, besides using the contract to order the black-stocking ghost to halt, he swiftly activated the Ghost Skill: Soul Whip.
Ghost energy surged from him like a tidal wave, transforming into a black whip that extended from his arm, as if he had grown an extra tentacle.
The moment the tentacle formed, it twisted and wriggled in midair, shooting out like lightning and whipping the black-stocking ghost’s buttocks.
"Slap!" With a crisp sound, the ghost energy imbued black-stocking ghost was hit by the whip, visibly leaving a swollen mark from her back to her buttocks.
The giant cleaver fell to the ground with a clatter, and the Heart-eater collapsed next to it.
Her face was contorted in pain, her body was flushed a provocative crimson. She curled up, shaking, her mouth open in a painful cry.
"Ah~Ouch~"
