"Ding, Disfigured Ghost (Malicious Ghost) has died, Ghost Qi +99."
After the female ghost's head was chopped off, her body went limp and quickly oxidized and decayed.
Generally speaking, ghosts aren't so easily killed, but with that strike, Jiang Chen infused demonic power into the blade, and as he decapitated her, the female ghost's soul was directly obliterated.
Outside, Chen Xue heard the sound of the head hitting the ground. Her pupils widened, and her fair fists clenched tightly, her delicate face showing an expression of grief and anger.
"He did it to save me!"
"What kind of courage does it take for an ordinary person to face a malicious ghost head-on?"
She finally realized.
Jiang Chen's seemingly frivolous and exaggerated actions were actually creating an opportunity for her to escape.
Chen Xue bit her lip, tears unwillingly sliding down her cheeks. She took a deep look at room 502: "I will definitely avenge you!"
She turned and ran downstairs, but after two flights, she seemed to make another decision. She pulled out a small jade sword hanging around her neck and turned back.
"Forget it, since you died for me, I can't escape alone!"
With a face full of determination, Chen Xue entered room 502.
Then she saw Jiang Chen, whom she thought was already dead, squatting on the ground, patting the face of a male corpse, eagerly shouting, "Wake up, brother? Haven't you turned into a ghost yet?"
He then looked thoughtful: "Could it be that you have to wait until the seventh day to transform? Never mind, I'll come back for you in a few days."
Chen Xue: "..."
She glanced at the remains of the Disfigured Ghost, her beautiful eyes showing surprise: "So you're a metahuman too. I was showing off my skills in front of an expert."
To kill a Mid-tier Malicious Ghost so decisively, his strength was probably not inferior to hers.
Jiang Chen turned to Chen Xue and delivered the speech he had prepared: "Oh, I don't really know what a metahuman is. I've only been in the big city for two years, before that I lived with my grandpa, and the old man never mentioned this stuff before he passed."
"If you don't mind, could you enlighten me?"
He flashed an innocent smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xue was momentarily stunned, then seemed to realize something: "I see, your situation is actually quite common."
Chen Xue organized her thoughts: "Currently in Jiuzhou, the Daoist Alliance and the Netherworld are the biggest forces."
"The Daoist Alliance governs all metahumans, while the Netherworld has its own cultivation system. Oh, they jointly launched an Underworld App, which should have everything you want to know."
"I'll send you an invitation code."
After all, since he saved her life, Chen Xue took the initiative to help Jiang Chen download and register the Underworld App, which is an internal software for the Metahuman World, requiring a specific invitation code to use.
"Alright, by the way, you can take a picture of this ghost's remains. After reporting it on the Underworld App, you can earn points, which are the currency in the Metahuman World."
"Thanks." Jiang Chen nodded, opening the app. The interface was in red and black tones, very eerie, with a dedicated photo entry. Clicking in, there were instructions, just take a photo, and the Underworld App would naturally identify the ghost's level and award corresponding points.
Click!
Photo uploaded, and after a minute, with a 'ding', Jiang Chen saw that 50 points had been credited.
"The Underworld App has a trading mall, and people in the Metahuman forum often seek trades. Points can be used to purchase various artifacts and talismans."
"And this knife, it should barely reach the level of a Ghost Artifact. We metahumans rarely use Ghost Artifacts, but they can be sold to Netherworld Agents, who are willing to pay a high price!"
Chen Xue added a few more explanations, then suddenly glanced at the hallway: "Right, we should leave here first, there might be another ghost hiding in this building!"
Just as she finished speaking, she noticed the man in front of her inexplicably excited: "Where is that ghost?"

Chen Xue: "..."
Why are you so excited?
"I judge that it's at least a High-tier Malicious Ghost, maybe even a Peak Malicious Ghost. I'm seriously injured now, almost no combat power left. If we recklessly face it, our chances of winning are slim."
Hearing Chen Xue's words, Jiang Chen shook his head and said seriously: "Chen Xue, you're right, we could run, but what about the living people in this building after we leave?"
"My grandpa always taught me, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. In such dangerous circumstances, I can't abandon the residents of this building!"
"You go first, I'll deal with that ghost."
With a look of righteous determination, he stood up and headed out, leaving Chen Xue with a broad back.
Of course, what Jiang Chen didn't say was that he only had eighteen minutes left on his Demonization Card. It would be a waste not to gather more Ghost Qi now.
Moreover, he didn't even use his divine power against the Disfigured Ghost. With the power of this Demonization Card, dealing with another ghost should be more than enough. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
If there was real danger, he'd definitely be the first to run, just like Old Zhang.
But in Chen Xue's eyes, the image of this young man suddenly became grand and noble. She looked at him, feeling a bit ashamed: "I must say, Jiang Chen, you are a person worthy of respect!"
"Forget it, tonight my life was saved by you anyway. If there's a risk, I'll accompany you."
She followed him.
The two arrived on the sixth floor.
Jiang Chen saw that the door to 602 was open, a strong smell of disinfectant wafting out, and a small sign at the entrance read [Angel Beauty Clinic].
"A black beauty clinic hidden in a residential building. Zhang Meimei probably had a failed surgery here, and after dying, her obsession lingered, turning her into a malicious ghost."
This was almost exactly what he had suspected.
"I had previously locked onto this beauty clinic through investigation and set up an arrangement inside, waiting for Zhang Meimei." Chen Xue spoke from behind: "But just as I was about to deal with her, another ghost attacked me, slashing my shoulder."
"It seemed like the other ghost wanted Zhang Meimei and me to both suffer, attacking once and then fleeing. I didn't even get a clear look at it."
Jiang Chen nodded after listening, first searching the beauty clinic, but found nothing.
After coming out, their gazes locked onto 601, where the door was closed, and it seemed someone was living inside.
"Right next to where Zhang Meimei often appeared, being able to live here peacefully is very suspicious."
The two exchanged a glance and stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock"
Footsteps sounded from inside, and soon a woman's voice came out.
"Who is it?"
Late at night, the homeowner was cautious and didn't open the door.
"I'm from the Public Security Office." Chen Xue stepped forward, pulling out a credential and slipping it through the door crack.
"Oh, it's the police. What's the matter?"
"We received a report of a violent incident in this building, please cooperate with our inspection." Chen Xue said.
"Oh, okay, okay." The woman didn't say much more, and the sound of the door opening came from inside.
As she opened the door, Chen Xue turned her head to explain to Jiang Chen: "Before handling supernatural cases, you can apply for various social credentials on the Underworld App to facilitate our investigation and dealing with ghosts."
