Talking about serious ghosts.
Su Ming stroked his chin.
He was quite optimistic about the ghost at the Lychee Hotel.
However, that ghost was suspected to be Disaster Level.
He was well aware of the weight that Disaster Level carried.
"Forget it, let's take a step back first."
Su Ming took out his special phone, his fingers sliding rapidly as he began searching for ghosts around Pingjiang City.
He wasn't worried about the Containment Capacity.
Once the Ghost School Belle's Favorability upgraded, the Containment Capacity would also increase.
As he was searching, the door was suddenly knocked on gently.
Su Ming frowned, cursing as he opened the door, "Old Zhou, are you so bored every day that you keep running over here?"
Just after cursing, he was stunned.
Because standing at the door wasn't Zhou Zhengyang, but his classmate: Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian didn't look right.
Her face was pale, her eyes red-rimmed, looking particularly haggard.
"Jiang Qian, why are you here?"
He thought it was Zhou Zhengyang coming over again.
"Su... Su Ge."
"For the sake of us being classmates, help me this once, I beg you."
She suddenly bowed at ninety degrees, her voice choked, her eyes brimming with tears.
Last night, she saw Su Ming at the branch office and heard the staff's discussions.
Only then did she know that Su Ming was also a Handler, and a Level 5 Handler at the top of the Dragon Nation, no less.
"Come in first."
Su Ming shrugged, stepping aside to let her in.
Jiang Qian walked into the room cautiously, sitting on the sofa, holding the tea made by the Jumper Ghost with both hands.
It took her a long time to speak, "Su Ge."
Su Ming raised his hand, "Call me Great King."
Sigh.
You know what?
Su Ming quite liked being called Great King.
Especially last night, he dreamt of the Ghost School Belle running ahead in a flowing long dress, looking back as she ran, her eyes curved as she called out to him, "Great King, come catch me."
Just thinking about it was quite thrilling.
Jiang Qian was completely bewildered, not understanding this peculiar preference.
But on second thought, she found it quite normal.
As a Handler, one's mind was constantly under tension, so it was inevitable to develop a few quirks.
These quirks, even the most professional psychologists said, were a good thing, helping to relieve stress.
For example, Elder Lin liked reading very perverse novels, the more perverse and bizarre, the more he liked them.
And Zhou Zhengyang, despite being the Director, looking very serious, actually had an Abeibei, a little pink bunny, that he had to hug to sleep at night, or else he couldn't sleep.
This was very normal, after all, they were dealing with Anomalies, their mental state was certainly different from ordinary people.
As long as the quirks weren't too perverse or extreme, it wasn't a big problem, and didn't even need special treatment.
Jiang Qian had her own quirk too.
She liked eating paper.
Especially when reading, she'd read a page, eat a page, feeling a strong sense of satisfaction.
Can you imagine that scene?
A quiet and beautiful girl, sitting in a sunlit library.
Her posture upright, her eyes gentle, sunlight streaming through the glass window, casting a soft golden veil over her hair and shoulders.
Everything seemed peaceful and serene.
But in the next second, she'd focus intently on the words on the page, gently pinch the corner of the page with her fingertips, slowly tear off a piece, put it in her mouth, her lips curling slightly, her eyes filled with satisfaction and contentment.
This extreme contrast was both bizarre and eerie, and anyone unaware would probably be scared on the spot.
So, Su Ming's little quirk was nothing.
Coming back to her senses, Jiang Qian said with a trembling voice, "Great... Great King."
"I suspect our homeroom teacher has been replaced."
Su Ming's eyes narrowed, somewhat surprised.
Their homeroom teacher, Chi Nian.
She had come to see him just a few days ago.
"Tell me more." He asked curiously.
Jiang Qian told Su Ming.
Actually, Chi Nian was her cousin, and they had been close since childhood.
After Chi Nian graduated, she became a teacher at Mingde High School, and the next year she started leading a class, which happened to be Su Ming's class.
At first, everything was normal.
Until one day, Jiang Qian noticed Chi Nian had changed.
Because she was too familiar with Chi Nian, she could detect even the slightest change in her.
"Although she's trying hard to disguise it, some of her habits have changed significantly."
"Great King, I know people change."
"But my cousin's change is too drastic, she never dated before."
"But now, she's started dating frequently, and all her partners have one thing in common, the men are handsome, the women are beautiful."
"I investigated privately, my cousin dates quickly and breaks up quickly."
"But her partners die mysteriously in various accidents a few days later."
"At first, I wanted to seek help from the headquarters."
"But I still held a sliver of hope, what if... what if my cousin is still alive, just controlled by an Aberration."
"If the headquarters intervenes, my cousin will definitely die."
"I'm even afraid to test her, scared of finding out she's already dead."
By this point, Jiang Qian was sobbing uncontrollably.
She clutched Su Ming's hand like it was her lifeline.
"Great King, you're a Level 5 Handler, there must be another way, right?"
"I know some Aberrations can imprison the person within, and they're actually still alive."
"As long as we find the opportunity, we can rescue them."
Jiang Qian didn't dare to gamble, didn't even dare to test.
She hoped to find a strong enough presence to handle any unexpected situation.
"I see."
Su Ming nodded, "Simple, just bring Chi Nian over."
"I can tell at a glance if she's a ghost."
When Chi Nian came last time, he hadn't unlocked the scanning function yet.
But he did feel something was off about her.
"But, I have one condition." Su Ming raised a finger.
Jiang Qian's heart tightened, instinctively clutching her clothes.
She was prepared for Su Ming to make an unreasonable demand.
But Su Ming leisurely said, "From now on, you handle all my homework."
Jiang Qian let out a surprised "Ah."
Su Ming frowned, "What? Do you have a problem?"
Jiang Qian quickly shook her head, "I thought you weren't going to school anymore."

Su Ming smiled, "School is still necessary."
Previously, Su Ming did consider dropping out.
But after talking with Zhou Zhengyang, he dismissed the idea.
People who frequently dealt with Aberrations must constantly integrate into human society, never disconnect from it.
This integration link is called an Anchor.
Without this Anchor, one could easily lose themselves, fall into madness, or even be assimilated by Aberrations, turning into a monster devoid of humanity.
This is a lesson learned with the blood of countless Handlers.
Becoming an Awakened, with great power.
Plus, frequently dealing with ghosts, one would be more or less polluted.
The Anchor is the last line of defense.
Without the support of an Anchor, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Don't be fooled by Zhou Zhengyang being the Director, in reality, every few days he goes to the night market to sell skewers.
Even Gu Yan, who doesn't like interacting with people, regularly works as a cashier at a convenience store.
That's the Anchor.
Su Ming's current Anchor is being a student.
Once he loses this student identity, his life will be completely disrupted, and whether he gets lost or not is uncertain, but something bad will definitely happen.
Jiang Qian thought for a moment and understood.
She immediately nodded, "Great King, leave it to me."
