"AAAAHHH!!! Ghost! There is a ghost!" countless people cried and ran away when they saw a ghost floating towards them with a malicious smile on its face while it greedily looked at them.

  "Make way! Make way!" the police yelled as they waved their batons at the ghost. But, as expected, their baton just passed through the ghost's body which made the ghost cackled.

  However, this is enough. They have gotten the ghost preoccupied by 'playing' with it so that the other people can run. How did this happen? Ghosts have now appeared also in broad daylight! And all of the people can see them!

  "It has started!" Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Bai Liu and Wu Yi exclaimed as they looked at the dark, coiling clouds from a certain area.

  "Have they found Lin Weng and abducted him?!" Bai Liu asked.

  "Let's find them to find out." Yi Bing spoke as he flew towards the unusual clouds.

  Where ominous clouds are must be where the Dawn of Society's base is. Huo Ling followed after Yi Bing.

  "Jiu Ye! Bai Wu!" Bai Liu called.

  "Yes!" the two juniors answered.

  "Help as many people as you can! But, avoid the exorcists' eyes if you see them, whether they are real or fake!" Bai Liu spoke.

  "Yes!" Jiu Ye and Bai Wu answered.

  Feeling reassured, Bai Liu and Wu Yi left to follow Yi Bing and Huo Ling.

  …


  Haoming Company.

  "Oh? You seem very irritated today?" Hao Ming asked when he saw You Ri's resentment passed through the wall while wearing a gloomy face.

  "One of my toys have slipped away." You Ri's resentment answered. She is referring to Shi Nana who is absent today.

  "Oh. Right. I seem to remember that she filed for a leave." Hao Ming said.

  "Tch!" You Ri's resentment clicked her tongue in annoyance. "A big event is going to happen." She suddenly said.

  "Oh? What is it?" Hao Ming asked.

  "Look outside your window." You Ri's resentment just said.

  Hao Ming picked up the remote control and pressed a button. The blinds covering the window moved and he saw that outside, the clouds have suddenly turned dark along with the surroundings. "This is…?" he looked at You Ri's resentment. He saw that the clouds afar is unusual. They are conical in shape.

  "Some people are trying to revive a god through a sacrifice." You Ri's resentment answered. She could feel this big spell because she is a ghost.

  "Oh. Who is the unlucky sacrifice?" Hao Ming asked.

  She shook her head. "I don't know." She answered. "But, if that god will be revived, humans will perish. After all, he is a god that lives on the people's fears." She explained. Then, she looked at him. "I don't know if you can escape." She told him without a pity on her gaze.

  Hao Ming just smiled. "What will come will come." He just said.

  "Hmph." She scoffed.

  "By the way, my subordinate found a lead." Hao Ming spoke.

  She looked at him.

  "Do you know someone who is a hacker?" Hao Ming asked her.

  "'hacker'?" she muttered before she shook her head. "I can't recall." She told him.

  "Then, someone who is good in computer?" Hao Ming spoke again.

  This time, her brows furrowed. "I seem… to know someone. But, I can't totally recall them." She frowned. Damn that You Ri! This must be her doing! She thought. Why protect the one who killed us?! she clenched her fists in anger.

  …


  Shi residence.

  You Ri could feel her chest is thumping wildly. Her resentment must have found something. She had to move fast.

  "You Ri." It was Shi Nana. "I heard that today, everyone can see ghosts so I had my husband, children, and their grandparents try to see you so they know that I am not crazy. But – " she bitterly laughed. " – they think that they have gone crazy instead and booked a flight to leave the country after they heard that ghost sightings became rampant. I was left here alone… because they left me after they thought that I am unlucky." She said. "Especially my husband when he found out about what I did in the company… haha. Damn him! This is just his excuse!" she gnashed her teeth in anger as she broke a flower pot. "Does he think that I don't know that he is going to see his mistress abroad?! And he even dared to bring our kids!" she smashed another pot.

  You Ri looked at her but she didn't speak.

  "I know… I know that I brought all these upon myself!" Shi Nana said as she opened a bottle of wine and drank. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry!" she cried and fell on her knees. "But, I only was mean to you! Why do you keep haunting me?! Shouldn't you haunt that b*tch Li Li instead?!" she asked.

  You Ri wanted to tell her that it wasn't her, but how can she explain it? Her resentment is also her.

  "Damn it… damn it!" Shi Nana cursed as she resumed drinking.

  "Senior." You Ri called. "Do you know who lived her before?" she asked.

  "What?" Shi Nana asked with a face flushed in drunkenness.

  "Heave you heard about the Su family?" You Ri asked.

  "'Su family'? I think…" Shi Nana answered.

  "Then, do you know someone named 'Su Ri?" You Ri asked again.

  "'Su Ri'…?" Shi Nana blinked. "Oh. Her… yes, I know her." She answered.

  You Ri's eyes widened. "Where? Where is she now?" she asked.

  "Her? She married an American." Shi Nana answered. "That's right… she also changed her last name. What was her new name again…?" she muttered as she tried to recall with her foggy mind. "Alice… Alice Beck?" she said, unsure.

  You Ri's mouth fell open in shock. But, that is not the only shocking thing.

  "Haha… I heard that her husband is also not a good man." Shi Nana said when she remembered her own husband. "Her husband is worse than mine for her husband is a drunkard… he also beats his wife!" she said.

  "What?!" You Ri exclaimed. She didn't expect for her former classmate to end up like this.

  "Yes. That's what the neighbors said when my family moved here. She once returned here after she fled from her husband. She was badly beaten up by him and she almost had a miscarriage when she reached here." Shi Nana said. "But, her husband arrived immediately and threatened everyone here, especially her parents. Her parents got frightened and they can't help their daughter. Fearing that their daughter would return to see them again, they sold this house." She explained. "However, we never saw her again after that…" she told her.

  You Ri fell silent. So this was what happened to her classmate. But, she still can't understand why would she want to kill her? They were friends before…


  "She is really unlucky." Shi Nana spoke, rambling because she is drunk. "She happened to be fancied by her boss who is actually a surprising jealous man. He suspected her of cheating on him when he saw her wearing beautiful dresses and accessories. He fired her on her job for her to focus on her role as his wife. She thought, at first, it was very lucky to fall in love with a CEO. She never thought it would be hell! He imprisoned her!" she said and downed the whole bottle.

  On the streets, people are yelling and screaming as they were chased by the ghosts. In contrast, Shi Nana looked at peace.

  You Ri still can't figure out how was she connected to what happened to Su Ri and why did Su Ri kill her. But, Shi Nana has already fallen asleep in their yard.

  "You Ri?! Is it You Ri?!" Bai Wu exclaimed when they saw her.

  "We returned here so how can we not see her?" Jiu Ye placed a palm on his face. "Miss You Ri." He greeted.

  "Are you friends with Huo Ling?" You Ri asked when she recalled that Huo Ling gave her his name.

  "Yes! He is our senior!" the two answered.

  "Girl… a girl…" Shi Nana suddenly muttered in her sleep.?"Yes… it must be her!" she said.

  You Ri sharply turned to her. "What?!" she exclaimed when she heard what Shi Nana said.

  Shi Nana was woken up by her shout. "A girl… came to our house once…" she spoke. "I can't see her face clearly and shooed her away. Then… then…" she muttered as she clutched her head and tried to recall the details. "She begged me to tell her where her parents were… she had a miscarriage and her husband is beating her. I was irritated by you that day, so I cursed at her and mentioned your name for being annoying like her…" she said and yawned.

  You Ri's eyes widened in shock as a thought flashed in her mind.

  Jiu Ye also heard it. "Miss You Ri… could it be that your friend remembered you and wanted to ask for you help but – " he spoke…… " – after she saw how successful you are, she got insecure, and also jealous, so she…?" he said as he looked at You Ri's stunned face.
