Room 441

After warning Alice to be in alert mode, Pro gave her a kiss before he headed off to war, "I'll be back soon."

"Mmm ... be safe, master. Alice will wait for you."

With that, Pro marched towards apartment room 441, intending to solve the last guardian of the floor. It wasn't long before he reached apartment 441. Surprisingly, as Pro got near the end of the hallway, the elevator entrance actually melted into the wall and disappeared!

Blinking his eyes, Pro thought for a moment before deciding to focus on his current objective and worry about the elevator later. Glancing at room 441, Pro cautiously peeked his head inside.

With a glance, Pro noticed an apartment room that was similar to a reflection of room 448. The kitchen was opposite of the front door while the bedroom and bathroom doors were to the right of the front door.

After surveying the area with a glance, Pro focused on the dark living room. There was an old sofa, a coffee table with some newspaper on it, and in front of these there was actually an old, cathode ray tube television. As this television fell into Pro's sight, it switched on automatically!

Although he was a ghost, his heart skipped a beat. Staring at the static screen of the television and hearing the buzzing sound of the static, Pro recalled a legend and cursed softly, "Oh hell naw am I dealing with this sh*t!"

Then, he swiftly backed out of the room and dashed back to the safety of his domain. Seeing Pro pop through the wall, Alice blinked her eyes in surprise as she tiled her head cutely while asking, "Master, why are you back so soon? Did you already defeat the evil spirit?"

Pro's lips twitched as he plopped down on the bed. He scratched his head as he replied, "Not yet, Alice. I just thought the evil spirit may be a bit troublesome this time, so I need to come up with countermeasures."

Alice blinked her eyes in confusion before she rubbed herself against Pro like a kitty, "I'm sure master will have a way. After all, master is Alice's master."

Pro rolled his eyes as he didn't know how that was any comfort at all, but he still pat the cute Alice's head to make her happy. As he did this, Pro's thoughts began to spin as he recalled the legend of a certain ghost that can travel through electronic devices like the television.

Based on his knowledge, Pro knew that was a powerful existence. There was no way that such an existence is only a low-level baleful spirit. The only conclusion that Pro can make is that the spirit possessing that television is not the same as the one in the legend. If so, it would just be a weak spirit that Pro can smash to death.

Of course, there is a risk in doing this because there is always a risk that the legends are true or a powerful ghost similar to the ones in the legend exist. However, even if this was the case, there was no way that the elder of the Black Moon Society can be so stupid to put that existence inside his farm right? That's like inviting a wolf into a sheep pen.

Weighing that the benefits outweighed the risks, Pro decided to just do it the old school way, go smash the television until the content shows up or the television breaks. Even if something horrible comes, at worst it will destroy this spirit farm. At that time, it will be that elder's problem, not his.

With this mindset, Pro kissed Alice for good luck and marched off to room 441 once more. To be on the safe side, Pro decided to just smash the door in so that he will always have an escape route. Activating his claws, Pro smashed away at the metal door.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Boom!

Dents appeared in the door as the nearby wall cracked. It wasn't long before the door was smashed in and flew backwards, landing on the ground of the living room. Glancing in, Pro once again saw the television with a static screen and scratchy static sounds. Without hesitation, Pro dashed forward.

When Pro was halfway there, the television screen suddenly flickered before it switched to an image of a ancient well! A high-pitch buzz then echoed in the room as Pro felt as if he had dived into water and watched as his surroundings seem to distort.

Fortunately, the strength gained from becoming a blood spirit truly exceeded human limits, and Pro was able to move forward in a fast walking pace even with the faint feeling of water resistance. Not expecting its prey to be able to resist, a pale woman's hand slowly stretched out of the well and gripped the side of the ancient well, climbing out slowly like usual.

However, Pro had already reached the television by this time and without hesitation, he smashed down his claws, "Just go back into your ancient sh*t hole and don't come out!"

Clang! Bam! Zap!

With the fizzling sound of electricity, the television was smashed into pieces.

SCREEEEEE! A horrendous screech echoed in the room as the smashed television screen continued to flicker unstably but still continued to show the image of the ancient well!

[Ding! Warning! The gaze of a powerful existence more than an entire rank above the host will reach this location in 30 seconds. Host is suggested to escape and hide in host's domain!]

"Well, gotta go fast!" Pro's face paled as he briskly escaped out of the range of the evil spirit's curse before he dashed back to his domain like no tomorrow, "Gotta go faster, faster, faster, like s*nix X!"

As Pro dived into his domain, he felt a intimidating pressure that radiated with danger explode from room 441. Pro breathed a sigh of relief once he made it back to his domain as he felt the pressure dissipate. However, he still didn't feel completely safe so he brought Alice to the bathroom, and he hid in the toilet with her.

Unknown to Pro, after he left, a pair of giant eyes opened up on the wall above the smashed television in apartment 441 as black, soaked hair spilled out of the destroyed television screen. The eyes glanced down at the smashed television that was now completely out of service and at the smashed door.

Not finding its target, it screeched in a high pitch voice continuously, causing all the furnishing along with parts of the walls to have cracks in them. As time passed, its scream slowly grew softer as the eyes gradually faded away. The apartment room returned to silence as the broken television lit up with a trace of spark before completely going dark.

After hiding for an hour and feeling that he should be safe, Pro finally left the toilet as he breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, I didn't expect smashing a spirit would attract a bigger one. But seriously, that elder must be an idiot to put a spirit with a connection to such an existence here. Or maybe that elder doesn't even know. After all, he shouldn't be omnipotent."

"Assuming he is only a level 3 mystics like in the cultist's memories, then he is equivalent in power to a blood spirit. Of course, there is a high chance that the elder is at the top-level of a level 3 mystic or even worst, the elder is a level four mystic," Pro concluded with a wry smile.

Although Pro very much wished that the elder was only a level 3 mystic, seeing how the powerful existence didn't destroy the spirit farm, it means that the elder must be powerful enough to serve as a deterrence to it.

"Since the system warned of the danger of that existence, that existence must have power beyond that of a blood spirit," Pro lamented as he felt fortunate for being able to escape in time, "Fortunately, the existence is not actually here, and what was here was just a low-level baleful spirit that might be its clone or will of some sort."

Returning to the bedroom with Alice, Pro waited a couple more hours to be on the safe side. Then, he cautiously left his domain and headed back to apartment room 441 to see if he can reap any spoils.

Glancing at the battered living room filled with cracks, Pro smiled wryly as he breathed another sigh of relief. Seeing the dead television and the silent room devoid of danger, Pro cautiously stepped in to pick up the remnants of the television to transfer it back to his domain.

[Ding! Object with yin qi detected. Absorbing remnant yin qi. Host gains 20 life points.]

[Ding! Object with yin qi detected. Absorbing remnant yin qi. Host gains 30 life points.]

[Ding! Object with grudge detected. Absorbing remnant grudge. Host gains 100 life points.]

[Ding! ...]

Pro's eyes twitched as he saw one of the notifications as he brought in some core parts of the television. Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any adverse effects from the grudge or Pro could only cry.

"It was seriously way too risky this time, but the rewards was definitely worth it for the small effort," Pro cheerfully concluded as he calculated his total gains to be a whopping 750 points!

"This is almost as much as the mid-level baleful spirit, and this baleful spirit was definitely a low-level baleful spirit seeing how easy I took care of it. Heck, it was even easier than the one in room 445," Pro muttered as he glanced at his new total points of 4080, "Only a thousand more to go, I'm almost there!"

Pro cheered himself on with this goal as he tried to schedule a couple more visitors to come in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, Alice was helping out by fishing up more thirsty boys from the dating sites.

After making many calls with little success, Pro hopped onto the computer to bump his apartment rent ads, and even added new ones for apartment 446. Although the chances that anyone would actually choose to live in a charred apartment is slim, the cheap price and no identification documents required may hook some visitors.

Then, Pro went to the online horror forums and bumped this threads there as well. It's been a while and the hype over a constipation ghost had already died down. Seeing this, Pro didn't have much hope for the thread so he created a new one.

[Title] The Ghost Beauty Seeking Comfort

"Legend has it that room 446 of the old apartment building at XXX street of XXX state of XXX country is haunted by a lonely, beautiful ghost. I heard that lady ghost is seeking comfort from living humans, and will XXXX human males for their yang qi. How fake can a legend get?! But I went there, I found out it was actually true, and it felt sooo good! If you don't believe me, then come check it out yourself!"

Pro stared at the post and snickered evilly as Alice hugged Pro from behind with excitement, "Master! Does this means I get to play?"

Pro nodded as he replied, "If they come, you can play with them a bit, but don't go too far Alice."

"Yay~" Alice happily cheered as she excitedly twirled around in circles until her head fell off.

Picking up her head and fixing it back on, Alice stuck her tongue out cutely before she plopped onto the bed to roll around for fun. Chuckling while enjoying this sight, Pro turned back to the computer as he continued to re-posted his post in other forums.

Pro then watched his post ferment. Unfortunately, some of his posts got deleted by mods under the reason of "not being family friendly" or "fake rumors". However, some posts stayed up with no problem as comments began to come in.

"If ghost girl h*ntai is real, I will eat sh*t."

"Dude, that sh*t joke is getting old, try something new that doesn't stink."

"Did anyone notice that author is the same as the sh*t ghost post? That post was fake wasn't it? Can some mod wipe away this post? It's like some toilet paper that failed to cross the road."

"The above? I don't get it. What does toilet paper that failed to cross the road have anything to do with this?"

"Cause this post is still stuck in the sh*t hole, just like the toilet paper was stuck in the crack."

Pro's mouth twitched as he read comments that leaned towards a failed PR campaign. Pro kind of expected this as his post was clearly click bait, but he hopes that some idiots would still believe it and come. After all, the power of horny boys trump their willpower to control their death seeking self.

After fixing apartment room 441's door back into place and cleaning his apartment with Alice, Pro hopped back onto his computer. After a night of hyping his posts, checking the comments to see if there was any death seekers and dropping bait on dating sites, Pro welcomed another day of harvest with Alice. After a laid back day of harvest, Pro pitifully glanced at the pitiful 80 points that he earned and sighed.

Pro then returned to his computer while hugging Alice in his lap to comfort himself. Skimming through the posts that fermented for an entire day, Pro's eyes lit up in excitement as he saw a post of a soon-to-be adventurer!

"Gathering sacrifices for the great cause of exploring the truth! Yours truly will gladly pay a visit to this place and dig out the truth to this rumor. If it is true, yours truly will selflessly sacrifice his virginity to exorcise the female ghost! There's no need to convince me otherwise, yours truly have decided! Which brave men would like to come along and share the burden?"

A bunch of comments followed after that, but Pro skimmed over them quickly to count the number of visitors. After getting a rough estimate, Pro grinned evilly as he brought Alice over to apartment 446 to prepare the show for his visitors.
