Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 56 The Terrified Ji Yexue
"Miss Ghost, here you are again."

Qiuyue Cheng sighed softly, feigning distress, and pushed open the door to enter the foyer, saying, "You're really persistent about me, aren't you? Do you really want me to become an accomplice?"

"Ha ha……"

Ji Yexue simply smiled and did not reply.

She stood up, followed him into the house, and closed the door behind her.

This time, she didn't believe that the unknown superpowered individual could save Akizuki Makoto.

That person couldn't possibly be following Akizuki Makoto every step of the way; it was just an accident before.

After two days of reflection, she came to the conclusion that the unknown superhuman could only see her but could not do anything to her, and that the ability must be teleportation.

It's likely that Akizuki Makoto used some means to transmit a message, informing the superpowered individual that he was in danger, and then teleported him away.

As for why she was so certain that the person's ability was teleportation, it was because she was still holding onto Akizuki Makoto at the time.

After entering the living room, Akizuki Makoto plopped down on the sofa, casually tossing his schoolbag aside, and said to the air in front of him, "Miss Ghost, may I ask a question?"

"Just ask."

Ji Yexue wasn't in a hurry to make a move; she simply stood in the entrance hall, blocking the way like a door god.

At the same time, she kept a close eye on Akizuki Makoto's every move, wary of him using some secret means to contact the superpowered person again.

"I've heard that people become ghosts after they die because they harbor too much resentment. How did you die? Did you get your revenge?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue was taken aback, not expecting Qiu Yuecheng to ask such a question.

She frowned and asked with a hint of coldness, "What does this have to do with you?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask. Can't Miss Ghost answer me?"

Akizuki Makoto laughed, thinking to himself that this was indeed very relevant.

The one who tied the knot must untie it. If you want to dispel Ji Yexue's jealousy and hatred towards her, you have to make her realize that she should not be dealing with him, but with the Ji Ye family.

Once the internal family issues are resolved, no one will pressure her anymore, and she can be free. Wouldn't that be better?

"You can ask, but you'll regret it if I tell you. Since you know that becoming a ghost is due to resentment, you should also know that asking about the cause of death will anger the ghost, right?"

"Being targeted by you is enough to make me regret it."

Akizuki Makoto said with a wry smile, looking quite troubled.

"Ha ha……"

Ji Yexue also laughed, seemingly her mood had brightened.

"Alright, since you're so eager to know how I died, then I'll tell you... I was driven to my death by my family."

Ji Yexue wasn't lying; to some extent, she was indeed driven to her death by her family.

Akizuki nodded in deep agreement and asked, "That resentment is indeed very deep. How did you take your revenge?"

"Revenge, huh... Why should I tell you that?"

Ji Yexue retorted with a question, clearly not wanting to bring up the topic.

"There's no reason, I'm just curious. After all, Miss Ghost is so wicked that she would target an innocent, model young man like me. Her methods of revenge must be incredibly cruel, right?"

"..."

Ji Yexue remained silent, feeling that Qiu Yuecheng was being sarcastic towards her, but she couldn't find any evidence.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Akizuki Makoto continued, "Miss Ghost, you definitely didn't take revenge, right? If you had, you should have become a Buddha. How could you wander around like a lost ghost, committing crimes and playing pranks everywhere?"

"Are you deliberately provoking me?"

Ji Yexue's tone suddenly turned cold, as if it had turned to frost.

She stepped forward in an instant, grabbed Akizuki Makoto's shoulder, and seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, wanting to teach him a lesson.

"?!"

But when she placed her hand on Akizuki Makoto's shoulder, something astonishing happened. Akizuki Makoto also raised his hand and grabbed her wrist!
She clearly felt a gripping force on her hand, and then Akizuki Makoto yanked her away.

Ji Yexue asked incredulously, "How could you have touched me? That's impossible!"

No wonder.

No wonder.

No wonder Akizuki Makoto was unusually calm and composed in front of her today, and even dared to provoke her. It turns out he had gained confidence.

So, the question is, how did Makoto Akizuki manage to gain the ability to touch her in just two days?

Is it because of that teleportation superhuman?

Or is there another reason?
Also, if something can be touched, does that also mean it can be seen?
Has her true identity already been exposed? That's why Akizuki Makoto asked that question.

Ji Yexue's mind raced; she was so shocked that her eyes trembled.

The thought of her true identity being exposed filled her with terror, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Miss Ghost, give up. Go find the person you should take revenge on, and then become a Buddha."

Akizuki Makoto didn't look at Ji Yexue; he kept his eyes fixed ahead, intending to continue pretending not to see her.

The reason for doing this was twofold: firstly, to arouse Ji Yexue's suspicion, and secondly, to expose his identity, which would do him no good.

He wanted to persuade Ji Yexue to leave and go find the person who tied the bell, so that they could maintain a superficial relationship at school and pretend that nothing had happened.

Of course, he was just trying it out to see if he could get away with it; he didn't have high hopes that it wouldn't be exposed or seen.

Ji Yexue, after all, possesses an intelligence level of nine. If her guess is correct, then for her, it is essentially infinitely close to the truth.

However, he underestimated the human tendency to struggle; there is no such thing as something one would rather die than admit or accept.

Ji Yexue, still suppressing her voice, questioned in an ambiguous manner, "Why... do you still call me Miss Ghost?"

Qiu Yuecheng feigned ignorance and said, "Otherwise, what should I call you? You've never told me your name."

It's still steaming.

As long as Ji Yexue doesn't stab him with a knife, he will never reveal that he can see.

"Don't you know?"

As Ji Yexue spoke, she moved her body and walked up to Qiu Yuecheng, staring intently at him.

Akizuki Makoto's expression and eyes remained unchanged, showing only confusion.

"I know?"

His tone was full of confusion, as if he really didn't understand.

"My surname is Ji Ye."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Akizuki Makoto was stunned, and his heart rate soared.

He wasn't faking it; he was genuinely shocked, thinking, "Ji Yexue actually self-destructed with me?"

So, is she now certain that he can see it all along and has been faking it?

"No, if she were truly certain, she wouldn't have said her surname was Ji Ye..."

As Akizuki Makoto thought to himself, his mind instantly calmed down.

Ji Yexue was definitely testing him, otherwise she wouldn't have only revealed her surname.

This world is not short of people with the same name, and the surname Ji Ye is not an uncommon character; a simple search will bring up a bunch of names.

While Akizuki Makoto was steaming desperately, Himeyasu was also steaming.
