Unlucky 

"Senior also heard one?" Duan Yuan asked as he turned to face Su Yu.

"En." Su Yu nodded as he checked the comments on his mobile phone screen. "After all, it is a common horror school story." He said.

"Wuwuwuwuwu poor anchor and his junior, trapped in the staircase! TTATT"

"But, since they can't find a solution to get out of their predicament, they can only chat for now."

"Now is a storytelling time? A ghost story inside a ghost… mansion?"

"I suddenly wanted to laugh."

"Want to laugh +2333"

Su Yu chuckled when he read their comments and decided to narrate his experience with the ghost of a staircase before. Of course, he omitted some details which could reveal his identity.

"En… that time, I sneaked out of our dormitory to… get some fresh air." Su Yu said and changed his objective of sneaking out that time. "I wandered around the university, but suddenly felt that the temperature of the surroundings drop. I realized that I managed to wander in that haunted place where that staircase is." he said. "I recalled the ghost stories that my roommates have told me, and so I immediately left to return to our dorm." He said, which is a lie of course. Instead, he even eagerly awaited the ghost's arrival. He can eat ghosts, and he treated the ghost that was about to come as his midnight snack. "Fortunately, I immediately returned and there was nothing else that happened to me. Maybe I was lucky." He said.

"Maybe the ghost saw your handsome face and gave you face* so it let you go." (*gave him some respect)

"Upstairs is so witty with that pun hahahahahahaha"

Su Yu also chuckled when he read the pun. But, of course, the reality was not as he told Duan Yuan. Back then, when he found that ghost and caught it…

…

"Senior! Senior! Please let me go! I am wrong to not see the mount Tai*!" the ghost said, extremely panicking. "I was wrong to have offended senior!" it said and kowtowed.

*something/someone powerful

Su Yu's brow raised. "I am a benevolent demon, and don't indiscriminately kill… albeit you are ghosts." He spoke. "I can give you two choices." He said.

The ghost heaved a big sigh of relief. "Thank you very much, senior!" it said.

"First choice is to fight me. If I lose, you can kill me. But if you lose, then I will eat you." Su Yu said.

The ghost's face was covered in black lines. How can it defeat Su Yu! If it could, then it would have already eaten Su Yu since earlier! "… and the second one?" he asked, feeling extremely nervous. If Su Yu says that he wanted for it to be his servant, then the ghost could only comply.

As for his resentment… well, maybe this is fate. Maybe he really has to let go…

"Tell me what obsession or resentment that you have and I will try to help you with it." Su Yu said.

"… huh?" the ghost was taken aback. It stared at Su Yu, looking dumbfounded.

"You don't want to?" Su Yu's eyes narrowed.

The ghost shuddered and immediately told Su Yu what happened to it, how it died and turned into a ghost. Of course, its crimes can't be washed off. So, it will still suffer in its next life as its karma. But for now…

"I am an orphan and entered the university through a scholarship." The ghost started. "Well, yes… I was bullied. But, later, my friend solved it for me and told the teachers." It said. "Since then, the bullies stopped harming me, and my life became better." It told Su Yu.

"But, you still died." Su Yu spoke. "And turned into a ghost." He added as he looked at the evil qi surrounding the ghost in front of him. But, amidst the evil qi was a young man wearing a school uniform.

"En…" the ghosts' eyes turned red and the evil qi surged.

But, Su Yu was unaffected. Instead, Su Yu is enjoying it since he is actually absorbing the evil qi, which is hitting two birds with one stone since not only the evil qi could add to his powers, but he also could lessen the evil qi of the ghost, making the ghost more rational and less impulsive and bloodthirsty.

"I don't know what happened and why was I pushed down the stairs… but, when I turned after I fell… before I closed my eyes…" the ghost spoke. "I saw that it was a girl. She pushed me down. And, instead of showing repentance and guilt… or even just panic… I even saw that amidst the anger in her eyes… I saw her – " it took a deep breath to calm itself. " – smiling… no, she was laughing!" it said and clenched its fists.

Su Yu's brows knitted. This means that it was intentional. It was really murder! "Do you know her?" he asked.

The ghost shook his head. "I only know her face… it was my first time that I saw her." It answered. "But, as for her name or course… I don't know." It said. Even if it was only the face of the girl that it knows, but the life of a ghost is very leisurely so it had the time to look for the girl around their university.

Su Yu nodded in understanding. "Give me your memory." He spoke.

"W – what?" the ghost stammered. Did it hear him wrong? Su Yu wanted its memory? But why? It wondered.

"Of course, my help comes with a price." Su Yu crossed his arms. "In exchange for me helping you find your murderer, give me your memory of when you died." He told the ghost.

The ghost's eyes widened in shock.

"What? Unwilling?" Su Yu's eyes narrowed as he released his aura.

The ghost hesitated. After all, his death is the root of his resentment. So what will it become if it gives Su Yu its memory? Will it still be a ghost?
