He picked up the schoolbag and beat him up

It was already the midnight hour, and the night grew colder. Most of the worn-out streets in the southern part of the city were submerged in darkness. If not for the companionship, walking alone might truly be frightening.

Ye Shu and Liu Youyou hurriedly walked back home, and Xiao Leng quietly followed them. Occasionally, Ye Shu could see Xiao Leng's twin ponytails swaying in the night.

Such a cute girl turned out to be a female ghost, truly regrettable.

Behind Xiao Leng, the green-haired and bald figures also followed. They didn't dare to surpass Xiao Leng, showing respect.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the two, along with three ghosts, finally reached Ye Shu's small apartment. Here, it was not as dark; the moonlight brightly illuminated the road.

Upon reaching the downstairs, Ye Shu deliberately stopped and asked Xiao Leng, "There's an evil ghost in my house, quite powerful. Can you sense it?"

Liu Youyou also looked at Xiao Leng, doubting her combat capabilities. The green-haired one came over, rubbing his hands, and said, "Xiao Leng, give it a try. If you can't beat it, we won't force you."

Xiao Leng remained silent, just looking up at Ye Shu's small apartment. Her expression was cold, not the kind of distant coldness, but rather, as if she lost all emotions, even expressions.

The green-haired one, who knew her well, quickly said, "Can you defeat the evil ghost in there?"

Xiao Leng nodded, and the green-haired one laughed, "I told you Xiao Leng is powerful. Brother, don't worry; let's go up and deal with that damn thing."

The bald one also became proud, acting as if it was their achievement.

Ye Shu and Liu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, no longer hesitating. They went upstairs with the three ghosts.

There were no ghostly shadows nearby, eerily quiet. The footsteps of the two became somewhat jarring, making the air heavy.

Ye Shu sighed lightly, took out the key, and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, a wave of gloom rushed out. Ye Shu and Liu Youyou felt nothing, but the green-haired and bald ones were scared, shrinking behind Xiao Leng. Shivering, they said, "Such a powerful evil ghost."

Their reaction startled Ye Shu and Liu Youyou. Both hesitated to enter, looking at Xiao Leng.

Xiao Leng had no expression, carrying a red backpack, and stepped into the apartment. She didn't float; she preferred to walk. With her cute appearance, she didn't seem like a ghost at all.

Ye Shu and the others dared not enter. They anxiously watched Xiao Leng, who walked straight to the sofa and stood there, staring ahead.

Ye Shu asked the green-haired one in a low voice, "Can you see that ghost?"

Both ghosts shook their heads, saying their abilities were too weak; they couldn't see big ghosts unless the big ghosts revealed themselves.

The two and the ghosts continued to stare at the room. Xiao Leng stood in front of the sofa for about half a minute, seemingly talking to someone. Her voice was too low, and Ye Shu at the door couldn't hear.

Just as they were getting nervous, Xiao Leng suddenly flew backward, as if kicked by someone, crashing into the TV.

She was a ghost, so the impact on the TV was minimal, but she rolled on the floor, frowning as if in pain.

Both Ye Shu and Liu Youyou were shocked. The green-haired one exclaimed, "Oh no, Xiao Leng can't win."

Terrified, Ye Shu thought, what happened? Xiao Leng was defeated so quickly.

They dared not enter. Watching Xiao Leng trying to get up, suddenly she was pressed back down, seemingly stepped on her back.

At this moment, the evil ghost in the room finally revealed itself. Next to Xiao Leng, a dark figure appeared, tall and strong, with green light like ghostly flames. It stood with one foot on Xiao Leng's back, sneering, "Ignorant little ghost, since you want to meddle, I'll swallow you along with him."

The voice of the evil ghost was cold and piercing, making Ye Shu's scalp numb. Liu Youyou, in panic, unexpectedly extended her tail, but she was obviously not strong enough and dared not enter to save Xiao Leng.

The green-haired one and the bald one were trembling, already scared and didn't dare to move.

The evil ghost turned its head to the door, staring at Ye Shu, and cursed, "It's your luck that I'm bothering you. I've been helping you absorb Yin energy every day, yet you're still not obedient, daring to find other ghosts to deal with me. Today, I'll kill you."

It looked extremely ugly, crooked nose and mouth, with a murderous aura in its green eyes. Clearly, it was not a friendly entity.

Shivering, the green-haired one looked up and said tremblingly, "Let's run, this must be a self-punishing ghost, a murderer in his lifetime. It's extremely dangerous now that he has turned into a self-punishing ghost, carrying even more sins."

Self-punishing ghosts were those who had committed heinous crimes in their lifetime. After death, they became fierce ghosts, terrifying both the living and the dead. It was one of the most frightening ghosts.

The green-haired and bald ones were already scared to the point of urinating. Liu Youyou also didn't have the courage to rush in and pulled Ye Shu, wanting to run away.

Ye Shu glanced at Xiao Leng. She still had no expression, slowly crawling up with her hands on the ground. However, the self-punishing ghost forcefully pressed her back down.

This cute girl was indeed powerless in combat. Why did she foolishly challenge the self-punishing ghost?

Ye Shu was both scared and anxious. Liu Youyou pulled him hard, "Let's go, why are you still looking?"

The bald one and the green-haired one had already crawled downstairs, crying. "Brother, we can run. Don't run, brother. You're a human, a yang body. As long as you're not afraid, a yang body won't be broken. It's hard for him to kill you."

The bald one had already climbed halfway down the stairs, shouting, "Yeah, there are countless evil ghosts in the world, but very few can kill people. Even Sadako is just scaring people; you boldly rush in and fight. Don't be scared by it."

This statement made Ye Shu suddenly realize a truth.

With so many evil ghosts in the world, and they kill people ruthlessly, why are humans still living well? Apart from some widely spread supernatural events, humans cannot even confirm the existence of ghosts.

Obviously, the yang body of humans restrains ghosts. Moreover, it is said that humans have three lights on their bodies—one on the forehead and one on each shoulder. Only when all three lights are extinguished can they be killed by ghosts. Generally, ghosts rely on the fear of humans to scare them to death.

Ye Shu suddenly understood that he was the most powerful boss.

He gritted his teeth

, clenched his fists, and rushed in, "I don't fear you."

He charged towards the self-punishing ghost, and the grotesque face of the self-punishing ghost showed an endless murderous intent. It suddenly opened its mouth, and its whole face cracked open, the mouth like an abyss, facing Ye Shu. Surprisingly, there was even a bleeding ghost head howling in its throat.

This appearance was too terrifying, and the air around suddenly became cold, with a ghostly aura like a tornado.

Ye Shu's heart skipped a beat, almost scared out of his wits. His legs went weak, and he dared not charge forward.

The green-haired one climbed back to the door and shouted, "Hold on, brother, the two lights on your shoulders are extinguished, hold on."

Ye Shu was horrified. He also knew about the three lights of a human. Unexpectedly, he was scared by the self-punishing ghost, and two lights were extinguished. If the one on his forehead went out, he would be doomed.

"F**k you."

He bit his tongue, forcefully biting out blood. With the intense pain, his courage surged. Staring at the self-punishing ghost with a face cracked open, he rushed forward, "Come on, who's afraid of whom?"

The self-punishing ghost narrowed its cold eyes. It indeed couldn't directly kill a human with a strong yang aura, but it had many means.

"Ridiculous."

With a cold sneer, the self-punishing ghost waved its ghostly flame-wrapped hand. Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and all the furniture in the living room was lifted, crashing towards Ye Shu.

Ye Shu, no matter how courageous, dared not charge anymore. He would be smashed to death.

Helplessly, he had to turn and run.

The self-punishing ghost laughed arrogantly, lifting its foot and stepping on Xiao Leng's backpack, "I'll start with you. It's been a long time since I had some fun. This little girl looks so pure. I won't be polite."

Unexpectedly, it tore off its own clothes, revealing a greenish body like a lump of decayed feces.

Ye Shu didn't expect ghosts to commit such acts, especially one against another ghost. Shocked and angry, he was about to charge again into the gusty wind when Xiao Leng suddenly spoke, "You stepped on my backpack."

It was the first time Ye Shu heard her speak, a very ethereal voice, cold and devoid of any emotion.

The self-punishing ghost laughed heartily, lifting its foot and stomping on Xiao Leng's backpack, "I like schoolgirls. When I was alive, I don't know how many I defiled. That feeling was wonderful."

"Oh, then I can kill you."

Xiao Leng responded, and with a gentle push on the ground, she unexpectedly flipped the self-punishing ghost.

The self-punishing ghost fell to the ground, its expression changing drastically, unable to believe it, "How is this possible?"

In its shocked expression, Xiao Leng took the backpack down, gently patted it, and then carried it in her hand, smashing it towards the self-punishing ghost.

Three consecutive thuds, and the backpack hit the self-punishing ghost's head three times. After the third hit, the entire head of the self-punishing ghost flattened, and its body twitched a few times before disappearing.

Everyone, including ghosts, was dumbfounded. Ye Shu rubbed his eyes, confirming that he didn't see it wrong.

The green-haired one screamed, "The self-punishing ghost is gone. It's completely dead."

Xiao Leng calmly put the backpack back on, her clear gaze turning towards Ye Shu, "I'm hungry."
