Perhaps because he had seen enough of Chu Jing's frightened look, Xu Yu was finally willing to put away his deadly expression.

The bruises on his face gradually faded, the brown bloodstains dissipated, and the fingers that were at odd angles returned to their original shape.

Xu Yu held the file bag in both hands, looking at Chu Jing with cold and sad eyes as she curled up into a ball out of fear.

He walked towards Chu Jing step by step.

He ignored Chu Jing's words telling him not to come near.

Seeing that Xu Yu was about to walk up to him, Chu Jing closed his eyes and lowered his head as if trying to cover up his ears and steal the bell.

I screamed frantically in my mind: "Xiaojiu! Xiaojiu! Save me! I'm going to be eaten by a ghost! I don't want to be eaten by a ghost! Don't turn into pieces!"

"Song Chujing?"

"Song Chujing, it's almost time. Have you found the file you're looking for?"

The teacher from the archives room walked in.

He shouted loudly, and the sound of powerful and steady footsteps came from far away.

When the teacher walked to the aisle, he was shocked to see a person squatting in the corner and burying himself in a ball.

He strode over and said anxiously, "Song Chujing? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Jing raised her head, she was still in shock and tears were streaming down her face.

The teacher was frightened by her appearance, "Song Chujing, what's wrong with you?"

Song Chujing saw the familiar teacher in the archives room, surrounded by bookcases and an empty floor. There was no trace of Xu Yu at all, and the file bag was gone.

Chu Jing looked around, trying to confirm something. Seeing the teacher's panic-stricken look, Chu Jing hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up.

With a trembling and choked voice, he said, "I'm fine. I just accidentally fell asleep and had a very, very terrible nightmare."

The teacher in the archives room was dumbfounded: Huh?

Asleep? In the archives? Here???

The teacher in the archives room looked at that corner.

Young people are just fine, just fall asleep.

However, Chu Jing had no intention of explaining. She tried to put on a smile to show that nothing was really wrong with her.

"Teacher, you just said that time is almost up, right? I've already looked everywhere, but I can't find the file I'm looking for. I'm really sorry to bother you!"

"Teacher, it's time for you to get off work, right? Let's go out! It's quite cold in here."

She didn't know if her legs were numb from squatting or if she was so scared that her legs were weak that she couldn't recover, but she staggered and quickly held onto the bookshelf.

She turned around and smiled at the stunned and confused teacher, then urged the teacher to leave the archive room quickly with her.

Chu Jing slammed the door of the archive room shut and said something incoherent, "Teacher, our school's archive room is quite spooky. You should try not to go in alone in the future!"

"It's getting late, I'll go back first!"

As he said this, he raised his foot and walked out. At first he walked quickly, and then he ran out.

As soon as Chu Jing got in the car, the driver saw that Chu Jing's eyes were red from crying. He was frightened and asked quickly: "Ms. Chu Jing, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you at school?!"

Chu Jing said hurriedly: "No, no, I just watched a very touching movie in the classroom! It was so touching, I cried so hard, wuwuwu~"

As he spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

driver:"?"

"What, what movie? So touching?" The driver was skeptical.

Chu Jing wiped her tears with a tissue and nodded, "Yeah, it's really touching! It's a foreign name, I don't recognize it."

The driver was puzzled: “…” Is it really that touching?

As soon as she got home, Chu Jing rushed back to her room, threw herself on the bed and cried bitterly.

She cried and accused 09, "Liar! You didn't even care about me just now!"

"I was almost eaten by a ghost!"

"Wow!!! This is horrible! I never want to go to school again!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier about this horrible mission? If you had known, I would never have come no matter how generous the salary was!"

"..."

09Listened quietly to Chu Jing’s messy accusations.

I know that Chu Jing was quite scared this time.

But, this kind of thing is like the second time you do it, it's not scary, but you will get used to it after experiencing it a few times.

Shouldn't we let her keep the memory of this time?

This way I won’t be scared like this again next time I encounter a ghost.

After Chu Jing had cried enough and let go of all the panic and fear that had just accumulated, 09 said, "I didn't lie to you. Xu Yu had no intention of attacking you just now."

"Believe me, if he had the slightest intention of attacking you, I wouldn't sit idly by."

Chu Jing obviously didn't believe it: "Really?"

The situation was so scary just now, but 09 didn't even say a word. Could he at least say something to give her courage?

Who can't draw a pie in the sky?

Chu Jing no longer has any basic trust in 09.

"I don't believe you. You said before that Xu Yu is not the Xu Yu from fifteen years ago! You knew it but you hid it from me. You and I are not on the same page at all!"

09: "......" It......

good good!

09 gave up discussing this issue with Chu Jing because it was not right in this issue.

"What are you going to do now? Get rid of Xu Yu?"

"He's not human, and your lifespan is only a few decades. If you can't complete the mission before this body dies, then your mission will fail."

Chu Jing now urgently needs something to divert his attention, such as arguing.

"You mean I can't survive Gong Han and Tang Tang?"

09: "That's not the case."

Chu Jing: "This isn't right. If they died of old age, they weren't killed by Xu Yu. Why wasn't my mission considered complete? Wasn't my mission to stop Xu Yu from killing Gong Han and Tang Tang?"

09: It seems to have said this before, but it is not accurate.

To be more precise, it can be summed up in three words: supporting actor, die!

09 immediately changed his words, "I just checked again, and you really won't survive Gong Han and Tang Tang! And you're so scared of Xu Yu, how can you stop Xu Yu?"

"Why don't we find a way to get rid of Xu Yu right now and quickly go to the next plane."

"I guarantee that there will be no ghosts or anything like that in the next dimension." Actually, I can't guarantee it, but, I shouldn't be that unlucky, right?

Chu Jing knew that what 09 said made sense.

She didn't want to stay here for decades at all. Maybe there were many other ghosts in this plane besides Xu Yu.

Thinking of this, Chu Jing suddenly felt that this large and empty villa had become lively!

Chu Jing began to think about this problem seriously, and she immediately thought of the Taoist priest she met on the road last time.

She found the Taoist priest's business card from the drawer.
