Chapter 96: Heading to the Ghost Association
On the bus, several chosen ones looked out of the window in horror.
They all got scared when they saw the outside view of the bus at night and the middle-aged man transforming into a fierce ghost.
Of course, some people also muttered to themselves that Alexander was an idiot for getting off the bus so casually.
However, what followed made everyone on the bus think they were having a collective hallucination.
What on earth had happened? Those were chosen ones!They actually had followers in the ghost world!
Although they couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying, it looked like those followers were extremely respectful!
Especially when Alexander got on the bus and said he was the boss of Fierce Ghost Street, they heard it very clearly.
Could it be that this was the bully in the horror world?
Bang!
The bus door closed again, and all eyes were on Alexander.
Alexander didn’t care too much. He was used to it and went back to his seat on his own.
As he passed by the three ghosts dressed in black mourning clothes, Alexander paused slightly and looked down.
Because he didn’t experience the satisfying fight he had imagined, Alexander was somewhat disappointed. Without paying attention, he stepped on someone’s clothes.
The corner of the black mourning suit was immediately stepped on and left with a footprint.
Feeling a bit awkward, after all, this was someone’s mourning clothes! He wasn’t clear why these three people died at the funeral.
He felt a bit embarrassed for stepping on the seemingly clean mourning clothes.
He was a reasonable person!
Just as he was about to apologize, the three ghosts all looked flustered, especially the one whose clothes corner he stepped on. He repeatedly bowed to Alexander and said:
"I’m...I’m sorry. It’s all my clothes’ fault for hindering your step!"
Well, good grief!
Alexander was stunned!
He was completely speechless!
But it seemed like he didn’t need to apologize anymore. Otherwise, he might scare these three ghosts into god knows what. Alexander shook his head, patted the ghost’s shoulder and said:
"It’s okay, it’s a small matter! It’s my fault for not being careful!"
With that, Alexander returned to his seat.
"Goodwill reached 60 points, skill Social Communication Unobstructed Charm Syndrome special effect triggered! Reward: Ghost Energy +5, Ghost Coin +30."
Huh?
Suddenly, a reward message popped up, and Alexander was a bit stunned.
Who’s goodwill exceeded sixty again? Could it be the neighbors in the Fierce Ghost Apartment?
That’s not right!
Not to mention when in the apartment, most of the ghosts had already started the instance, and those who could reach 60 points had already done so. Those who couldn’t reach it were the ones who didn’t care about making money from instances. Although their goodwill would increase, they couldn’t cross the 60 point threshold.
What’s more, the reward this time is too damn small, isn’t it?
Could it be that the other party is a spirit level? Has the goodwill of spirits decreased since Alexander was promoted to be a fierce ghost?
He seemed to have not been in contact with any spirit-level fierce ghosts recently! Except for...
Suddenly, Alexander looked up incredulously at the three people standing in the corner of the bus.
They were all at the spirit level!
And their goodwill levels were actually 15, 35, and 60.
That’s unbelievable! Apologizing could be due to fear of his identity and strength, after all, they weren’t like those other chosen ones who wouldn’t recognize the people of the Fierce Ghost Association.
But what was with the increase in goodwill, which even directly reached 60 points. Could it be that fear also increases goodwill?
"He really is a big shot!"
Just as Alexander was puzzled, the low voice of the mourning suit man he had just stepped on came over:
"This gentleman was scolding the big shots of the Fierce Ghost Association just now, and now he is so polite to us three little spirits, even apologizing to me, such a small figure!"
The man in the mourning suit tried to keep his voice down, but he was clearly moved, his voice choked up: "This is the demeanor of a big figure! This is the demeanor a big figure should have!"
Alexander suddenly understood a little why after his promotion to a fierce ghost, the goodwill reward of ghost at the spirit level had dropped to such an exaggerated extent.
Socializing from the bottom up or on an equal level is the hardest, but if it’s from the top down, it’s very easy.
Once he understood this, Alexander was no longer confused and sat quietly in his seat, waiting.
For a moment, the whole bus became very quiet.
After a while, Alexander slowly stood up from his seat.
Suddenly, all the ghosts on the bus were excited, while the chosen ones were extremely panicked.
Without Alexander, these evil ghosts had no one to fear, and the ones who would suffer were them!
Hiss...
The bus stopped, and the back door opened.
Alexander didn’t get off the bus immediately. Instead, he walked towards the driver’s seat and asked, "Is this your bus?"
"No... it’s not... it’s Mr. Andy’s, he... he is a ghost general, the ghost general of the Fierce Ghost Apartment!"
The driver was so scared that he almost pulled off the steering wheel to defend himself. He was shaking as he spoke, hoping to scare Alexander away with his master’s name.
"Ghost General Andy? Oh... the high school student! I remember that kid, he’s a good ghost!" Alexander exclaimed.
Previously, fourteen ghost generals had visited Alexander in his apartment, three of whom lived on the fourteenth floor.
This included Sister Mary, who died of pesticide poisoning, and Lake, who jumped off a cliff with his wife in a suicide pact, only for his wife to survive the fall into a pool while he died on impact with the rocks.
And finally, there was this juvenile delinquent Andy, who was very young. In his lifetime, he was a troublemaker who was addicted to online games. In the end, he died from overwork after playing games for five days and nights without sleep!
"You know him?" The driver was stunned, wondering what the person in front of him was capable of. He didn’t seem stronger than himself!
Could it be that Alexander is the illegitimate son of the lord of the dark hell city?
"Tell him not to open the instance anymore! He can earn some money, let him find me!"
Alexander did not answer but directly said.
Why does the bus need to do the business of selling human flesh? The Fierce Ghost Association is growing and needs a dedicated driver. Moreover, Andy is a ghost general, he should have more than one vehicle under his name.
The driver did not dare to object, nodding continuously.
Alexander looked around the bus, his gaze resting on the remaining disguised evil ghosts for a moment, saying faintly: "Everyone, stay seated, understand?"
Suddenly, the three mourning suit ghosts and two disguised ghosts nodded their heads in unison.
Everyone else was dumbfounded, especially the remaining female chosen one. Seeing the disguised ghost sitting next to her nodding, she almost fainted with fright.
She had just chatted quietly with him and planned to get off the bus together next.
Now she just felt cold sweat all over her body, thinking about it, if it wasn’t for Alexander’s words, she would know what would happen if she got off the bus with a ghost.
"Wait!"
"Seeing that Alexander was about to get off the bus, she couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, "Can... can we know your name? If what you just said is true, you would have shut down the most terrifying ghost bus instance, and you will be a hero in our hearts!"
"Charles!"
Alexander answered without looking back. It was better to use a pseudonym at this time.
What Alexander didn’t expect was that soon, the name Charles was spreading like wildfire in the real world!
Soon, a new video was uploaded online.
In the video, a young man with an obscure face stands in front of the driver and calmly says, "Tell him not to open the instance anymore!"
Domineering and undeniable!
Next, there’s the voice warning the other evil ghosts, "All of you, stay seated, understand?"
Well, this is the chosen one?
Too domineering! Just too cool!
When the name Charles was spoken, everyone watching the screen widened their eyes. Despite their preparation, they couldn’t stop being shocked.
Of course, compared to Charles’s coolness, what shocked people more was the information revealed at the end of the video.
It’s confirmed that the ghost bus instance has disappeared from the list of chosen instances!
Another instance is gone!
In the five years since the arrival of the terrifying world, numerous instances have appeared, but the most feared is not the one that only leaves one survivor out of tens of thousands, but the seemingly unimpressive ghost bus.
Ghost bus, Happy Clinic...
These instances, although they don’t have a high death count, they all have one premise.
These instances can be opened one after another, with no restrictions, they can directly send invitations to the real world.
Tickets for the ghost bus, recruitment letters from the clinic...
Seeing not many people die, but it has no limit, like Silent Hill, inviting five people every day, it has been exactly five years without missing a day.
These have always been the instances that everyone fears. Now, two of them have been closed in succession.
Does it mean that other taboo instances can also be closed?
For a while, the whole network went crazy.
At this time, no one dared to speak ill of Charles, nor did anyone fight over his affiliation anymore, fearing to irritate this superhero who holds the secret to closing taboo instances.
Of course, as the person involved, Alexander knew nothing about all this. He got off the bus and walked towards the address of the Fierce Ghost Association.
The abandoned neighborhood had undergone major changes in just a few days.
In front of the iron gate, a few men in black suits and sunglasses stood with their hands in their pockets, looking cold.
Now it really looks like the mafia.
He was wondering why the red-haired ghost and purple-haired ghost looked strange. Turns out they had put on black suits!
"Fierce Ghost Association territory, no entry... human?"
A man in a suit wanted to stop him, but was shocked to see that Alexander was actually alive.
"I’m here to see your boss!" Alexander stepped forward and said.
"Who are you? A living human, walking around Fierce Ghost Street so casually, and you dare to come and see our boss?"
The man in sunglasses did not underestimate Alexander just because he was alive, he cautiously took out a fire axe from his waist and asked sternly.
Just as Alexander was thinking about whether to take out his baseball bat, a sudden shout rang out from afar: "Are you blind! Who dares to stop him!"
"Brother Foreskin!" Seeing the newcomer, the man in sunglasses quickly bowed his head.
