Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 70: Mysterious Ghost - Belly Ghost
Lin Beixuan shook his head and put away his phone, then smiled bitterly as he looked at the small amount of stock in the compartment.

Others are just spectators, but he is the real victim.

If the upstream supply is interrupted, his downstream business will become difficult and he will suffer losses along with the suppliers.

No one would think that a small merchant could purchase goods from major manufacturers. Even if he had this channel, the factory would not be willing to use a truck to load that little bit of goods and send it over for a few hundred dollars.

With a light sigh, Lin Beixuan returned to the counter and began his day of meditation, until he closed the door and returned to the dormitory at night.

He hasn't been back to the dormitory to sleep for too long, which is unacceptable to his old class counselor. They already have a lot of complaints about his part-time job during school. If he doesn't go back to the dormitory often, he won't get any credits this semester.

I returned to the dormitory just as it was closing time, and when I opened the door, my roommate looked at me in surprise.

"Oh, sir, are you tired of the gentle countryside outside and are you willing to return to our shabby hut?" Cheng Hao's sarcastic voice suddenly sounded.

"Get out!" Lin Beixuan said unhappily, and put the barbecue supper in his hand on the table.

"Can food shut you up?"

"Yes, of course. If anyone has a problem with you, I'll be the first one to disapprove."

"Me too!"

……

The roommates jumped up from their beds and gathered around the barbecue.

Lin Beixuan looked at this scene and smiled, then went to the bathroom to wash up.

The disadvantage of not returning to the dormitory often will inevitably lead to estrangement from roommates. Even if you are close to each other on the surface, you will naturally have a better relationship with those who live with you for a long time in private. This is human nature.

In order to avoid this, Lin Beixuan would often bring some food into the dormitory. Although it didn't cost much, it could bring them closer together, so that there would be no one to inform him when the counselor came.

When he came out of the bathroom, the barbecue on the table had been eaten up by several roommates, who were sitting next to him picking their teeth.

"By the way, Beixuan, why are you back tonight? What happened in the store?"

The previous ones were just jokes, this time I am asking a real question.

Several people knew that Lin Beixuan was working part-time. When he was working the night shift at the cinema in the middle of the night, they often went downstairs to help Lin Beixuan open the door.

Later, Lin Beixuan found a part-time job at a nearby convenience store, where there were cubicles for rest. His working hours were not fixed, and he would only come back to stay from time to time.

Lin Beixuan took some clothes from the closet and put them on: "It's not like anything went wrong. By the way, do you know anything about the physical examination you mentioned a while ago?"

Speaking of physical examinations, Cheng Hao immediately became interested and moved a stool to sit next to Lin Beixuan.

"Don't tell me, I actually found out some things these past two days."

Cheng Hao was well-known for his good interpersonal relationships in school. In addition to the fact that he was a student union secretary, his family was wealthy and he often treated students to meals, so he could get a lot of gossip from other students.

He even knew about the physical examination a day in advance when the counselor didn't inform him.

"I heard that the physical examination of our school this time was issued directly by the Ministry of Education, specifying that all teachers and students in our school must undergo the examination."

"Teachers and students? Even teachers have to participate?"

"Yes, that's what they said. And it seems that this physical examination not only includes those routine examinations, but also seems to measure bone age and nerve reaction speed."

"Ah? What does this have to do with the physical examination?" asked roommate Zhang Jiahui, scratching his head.

"I'm not sure about that." Cheng Hao shook his head.

After discussing the matter for a while, they made an appointment to play games together, and Lin Beixuan joined them.

In the first game, Cheng Hao looked normal, encouraging Lin Beixuan that it was not his fault, and that it was just the disgusting game mechanism that was to blame. In the second game, Cheng Hao's face gradually darkened, and he shook his head and sighed from time to time.

At the end of the third round, Cheng Hao started to curse in a bad tone: "You are such a rookie. You jump wherever you go. How can we play if you raise a big daddy every time?"

As a result of losing three games, Lin Beixuan was kicked out of the gaming team by Cheng Hao. He no longer had the flirtatious attitude that he had shown when they were eating barbecue together and called him "godfather".

Lin Beixuan shrugged indifferently and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

And in a place that no one noticed, at the moment when Lin Beixuan fell asleep, a faint light flashed from the purple jade gourd hanging on his chest.

……

In the secular world, the sun was high in the sky, emitting endless heat and light. The water level of the stream near Huangshi Village dropped a little without anyone noticing.

[You are baptized by pure air, and your health is restored by +1. ]

It’s this fresh air again!

Lin Beixuan moved his shoulders stiffly, stood up and searched his body, curious about where this clear air came from every time he woke up.

He couldn't remember if he had any items on him that could help him add some points. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the reason, so he ended up letting it go.

After checking that everything in the cloth bag was there, Lin Beixuan showed satisfaction on his face. These were all his treasures.

He took out the evil ghost skin that Liu Fei had given him before. He remembered that there was a prompt on the panel before that he could talk to this skin.

[Evil Ghost Skin: The skin left behind by the mysterious ghost - the ghost's remains. It has a certain amount of ghost power. You can talk to it to get some information about the ghost.]

"Belly ghost..."

He has come into contact with quite a few ghosts so far, from vengeful spirits such as the wall-climbing ghost, to the ghost mother and infant spirits of the Twelve Normal Ghosts, and the foodless evil minions under the starving ghost. However, this is the first time he has seen a ghost with the title of mysterious ghost.

Mysterious ghosts, are they another branch of a series of ghosts?

Lin Beixuan had nothing to do, so he spread the entire evil-bellied ghost skin flat on the table, looked at the huge and ferocious ghost face in the middle, and asked.

"Is the belly ghost very strong?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ferocious face on the skin seemed to come alive, suddenly opened its eyes, stared at Lin Beixuan, opened its big mouth full of fangs, and uttered a few syllables hoarsely.

"It has a form but no appearance, and in its evil belly it consumes three kinds of human fire, and its strength is greater than that of a demon."

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the second time he heard the word "魍魉", which seemed to represent the level division of ghosts.

Let me ask you another question.

"Where is the belly ghost?"

"..."

The Evil-Bellied Ghost Skin remained silent. It could not answer this question.

Lin Beixuan didn't ask any more questions and put away the evil-bellied ghost skin.

He didn't really care where the belly ghost was because it was too far away for him at the moment. The reason he asked this was that he wanted to have a chance to avoid the other party in the future.

There are tens of thousands of ghosts and evil spirits in the secular world. Who knows, one of them might be able to see his origins, avoid the secular boy's resurrection mechanism, and kill him in one go.

He had to be extremely careful along the way when leaving Huangshi Village.

Looking at the good weather outside, Lin Beixuan planned to set off while the yang energy was strong during the day. But when he just walked out of the room, he saw the infant spirit avoiding the sunlight and floating towards him with a booklet in its arms.
