"Huff, huff…"

In the small grove,

a woman in a white dress, Han Bingjie, and Long Li gathered together, gasping for breath constantly.

"Gui Yi is dead… another senior, official courier has been lost."

Long Li punched a nearby tree, "What time is it now?"

"Don't look… Brother Gui told me before, he suspected that using cell phones or checking the time attracts the female ghost!"

After saying this, Han Bingjie scared Long Li so much that he nearly threw his phone away.

"Damn!"

"You newbie, you're really lucky!"

Long Li estimated, "It should be almost 12 o'clock now. Right here in front of the school gate, as soon as the time comes, we can run out and be safe. 'Ghosts' generally have fixed patterns and ranges of activity… Damn, why do you newbies have it so good? You just need to survive, not like me before, having to carry out delivery tasks as well."

"Why, are we a delivery company?"

Han Bingjie suddenly asked, "I'm curious, do you official couriers have additional tasks?"

"Of course, you interns just need to survive, but we previously had to deliver packages to the girls' dormitory!"

Long Li shuddered all over.

"Delivering packages to ghosts? What was inside?"

Han Bingjie pressed further.

"Damn, couriers can't open packages privately; it's professional ethics!" Long Li swore, "A lot of couriers got killed by the company because they opened packages privately… However, when I escaped from the girls' dormitory, I saw a ghost open the package. Inside… was a mirror…"

"A mirror?"

Han Bingjie glanced at Gui Yi's sister, noticing she was holding up her skirt hem, running in high heels, and still breathing normally which made him admire the official couriers even more.

Her physical condition was almost like a professional athlete's! Awesome!

Time passed by slowly, and Long Li grew increasingly anxious. Suddenly, he pointed at Han Bingjie, "You… check the time for me, or I'll beat you!"

'He… he fears that Gui Yi's deduction is true but doesn't want to waste time. He wants me to take the fall!'

Han Bingjie, although a shut-in, was not stupid. He shivered, "I… no…"

"Try saying that again?"

Long Li pulled out a spring knife, grinning menacingly.

He had thought through his choice of sacrifice. Gui Yi's sister, after all, was a senior and also pretty, far more useful than this shut-in.

Han Bingjie, looking at the tall, muscular Long Li and his knife, reluctantly took out his phone, "It's now…"

Using the screen's reflection, he saw Gui Yi's sister behind him.

Her white dress was increasingly seeping with fresh blood…

She is… the ghost!!!

"Ah!"

Han Bingjie screamed in terror, tumbling and crawling away a short distance.

"You kid…"

While Long Li, holding the spring knife, was about to chase him, he saw a cold, rigid, white-dressed woman appear behind Han Bingjie.

She looked exactly like Gui Yi's sister!

"No way, isn't she right beside me?"

Disbelieving, Long Li turned around, only to see another Gui Yi's sister.

Her face rapidly losing expression, her white dress bleeding out, a pale, delicate hand already on Long Li's shoulder.

Long Li suddenly lost all strength, feeling his whole body freeze.

As he fell to the ground, he abruptly remembered.

His memory had been altered!

At that time, he also saw another identical ghost crawl out of that mirror.

The ghost here had the ability to create duplicates!

And half of it had always been with them!

No wonder his earlier hiding places were always discovered and kept getting killed.

"No!"

Long Li wanted to desperately call for help, but there was no one left to ask for help.

He collapsed on the ground, plunging into a despairing darkness...

...

"You will die!"

"You will definitely die!"

Han Bingjie, looking at two identical female ghosts flanking him from both sides, trembled all over.

Only by facing the ghost directly did he realize how terrifying it was.

It was a supernatural being far beyond human understanding.

Incomprehensible, unkillable, with eerie and fearsome abilities!

Han Bingjie's legs trembled, feeling a warm stream about to embarrassingly flow from his lower abdomen.

"Hey, Xiao Han, are you still alive?"

Just then, a voice suddenly cut in.

Han Bingjie turned his head and saw a youth standing at the school gate, holding a large black umbrella, smiling at him: "If you don't want to die, drop your phone."

Han Bingjie immediately threw away his phone, shouting delightedly, "Brother Gui, you're alive!"

"Now, step by step, slowly, move towards the main gate... It's 12 o'clock, we can leave this place."

Zhong Shenxiu's voice was soothing.

"I... I'll try..."

Han Bingjie moved his feet towards the main gate.

In reality, his body, nearly fainting from fear, couldn't run at all.

Just then, he saw the two blood-clothed women turn and walk towards him.

Though their pace was slow, it was faster than his!

Bang!

Han Bingjie's legs gave out, and he fell to the ground, crawling towards the gate on all fours.

At that moment, he felt a cold hand placed on the back of his skull, his body stiffened, unable to move.

"Little sister, since you've already called me brother, why not do me a little favor?"

Zhong Shenxiu's smile didn't fade as he slowly raised his black umbrella, pointing its tip at the blood-clothed women.

Han Bingjie suddenly felt the chill dissipate from his body and was able to move again; he scrambled on all fours to Zhong Shenxiu's side, breathing heavily.

"Thank you, let's go!"

Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand in greeting, grabbed Han Bingjie by the collar, and lifted him out through the school's main gate.

"It should be safe now."

Watching the two women circle the school gate several times before slowly disappearing, Zhong Shenxiu nodded and then heard the message alert tone.

He pulled out his phone and saw a message:

[Your card ending in XXXX has received a deposit of 20,000 yuan, current balance...]

"Eh?"

Han Bingjie exclaimed in surprise.

"I am a full-time employee, it's normal that I earn more than an intern," Zhong Shenxiu replied seriously.

"No, Brother Gui, why did you tell me to throw away my phone earlier?"

Han Bingjie's thoughts were a bit jumbled.

"I was trying to find a way to survive, or you could try picking it up again..."

Zhong Shenxiu pointed towards the school.

"No, no, there's no need..."

Han Bingjie quickly shook his head; going back there would be foolish.

He even felt he had developed stress-related disorders; he would probably never go to school again in his life.

"Also, that last ghost, why did it spare me? Is it really your sister?"

Han Bingjie widened his eyes.

"That's because I ate the fruit of favors... haha..."

Zhong Shenxiu, leaning on his large black umbrella, laughed wildly: "Temp, get up, it's time to go back to the company and sleep!"
