01

On this day, a new tenant moved into the old house.

Hearing the commotion, the evil spirit hurriedly flew down from the ceiling and floated in front of the new tenant.

Evil spirits survive by absorbing the screams of human fear, but the old house had been vacant for a long time, and this one was starving, nearly fading into oblivion.

The new tenant was a young man in his early twenties, quite good-looking, seemingly mixed-race, with slightly curly black hair that hadn’t been trimmed for a while and was casually tied at the back. The spirit boldly floated over to check the ID card tossed on the bed and muttered, "Lu Yan… Tsk tsk, what an ugly photo."

Lu Yan paused, his voice cool: "You’d look ugly too in an ID photo."

The spirit shrieked and shot back up to the ceiling.

Lu Yan looked up at him. "Why are you screaming?"

The spirit replied, "My name is Ye Tong."

Lu Yan was momentarily speechless: "…"

Ye Tong patted his chest. "You scared me to death."

Lu Yan sneered. "Pathetic."

Ye Tong, still shaken, said, "I haven’t even manifested properly. You shouldn’t be able to see me."

Lu Yan pointed to his eyes. "Yin-Yang eyes."

Ye Tong hesitated. "Then… then you're not afraid of me?"

Lu Yan: "Heh, I’ve seen plenty of ghosts."

Ye Tong looked miserable. "If you’re not scared of me, I’m going to starve to death."

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, frowning. "If I’m not afraid, I can’t help it."

Ye Tong spun his head a full 360 degrees. "Look at me. Scary or not?"

Lu Yan calmly put his clothes away in the wardrobe.

Ye Tong’s eyes bled. "I died a tragic death, you see?"

Lu Yan glanced at him. "I see."

Ye Tong looked disappointed. "You have no sincerity at all."

This was like accompanying a girlfriend on a boring shopping trip.

Lu Yan lit a cigarette, was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you want me to compliment you on your looks?"

Ye Tong: "…"

Lu Yan patted Ye Tong’s bloodied face. "So good-looking."

Furious, Ye Tong dove into the air conditioner, leaving only a pair of eyes peeking out from the vent.

Ye Tong: "Can you show some respect for the evil spirit profession?"

Lu Yan pressed the air conditioner remote. "Sure."
