I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Ye Jingtang froze instantly when Xie Fengnan said something he never expected.

At one point, he himself believed this claim.

If he wasn't cursed, why would he be born as a man, the child of the Ye family patriarch?

If the curse doesn't bring misfortune, why did those few people who had brought them warmth die one after another?

Therefore, Xie Fengnan's words shocked and confused Ye Jingtang.

"You... what do you know?" Ye Jingtang heard her own voice trembling.

"I knew about this."

Even with the existence of the system, Xie Fengnan didn't have a third eye.

The things the Ye family did so many years ago were all dealt with by Heaven, so they must have kept them tightly under wraps and wouldn't easily let others find out.

Ye Jingtang, who thought Xie Fengnan had come to deliver intelligence to her: ...

Once he calmed down, his vertical pupils stared intently at Xie Fengnan: "Why are you so sure?"

Xie Fengnan looked directly into Ye Jingtang's eyes. "Well, you can think of it as my eyes being a bit special, able to see things that ordinary people can't."

Ye Jingtang wasn't unaware of Xie Fengnan's heterochromia; he simply wasn't interested in prying into other people's private lives.

Now he's interested, but Xie Fengnan clearly isn't going to give him a proper introduction.

Ye Jingtang had a moment of doubt about Xie Fengnan's words, but he quickly came to his senses.

Xie Fengnan had no reason to lie to himself; judging from his consistently friendly attitude towards him, he meant no harm.

Even if those words were meant to comfort him, Ye Jingtang appreciated them.

Besides, he could see it in Xie Fengnan's eyes.

Xie Fengnan indeed thought so—Ye Jingtang was not cursed, and he didn't mind being friends with him.

"Boss, can you see ghosts?" Chu Jiaoyang interjected at this moment.

"We must trust science," Xie Fengnan replied earnestly, if he hadn't been looking around.

In fact, if one's spiritual power is strong enough, one can still exist in the world after leaving the human body. Such a thing can be called a "ghost" in a certain sense.

The spiritual entities that survive because of this method mostly act based on obsession, and most of them do not have complete memories or personalities.

So it's true that you can encounter ghosts in this world.

Seeing Xie Fengnan's expression, Chu Jiaoyang became even more excited.

"Boss, what do ghosts look like? Are they what they looked like before they died? Or are they similar to normal people?"

Xie Fengnan, wondering why Chu Jiaoyang would be interested in such a thing, said: "...I guess so."

The key is whether the spirit can remember and maintain its normal human form.

If you're wondering how Xie Fengnan knows all this, it's because there are a lot of such places in Baichuan Cemetery.

Chu Jiaoyang, who was about to discuss ghost stories with Xie Fengnan, was interrupted from casting a spell by the dormitory supervisor who suddenly appeared.

"You're only getting back now?"

It was already getting dark.

Xie Fengnan immediately pretended to have been severely reprimanded: "Yeah, I've been getting lectured by the boss all this time."

Upon hearing this, the dormitory supervisor seemed a little embarrassed. "Ahem, I didn't expect your advisor to be so responsible. Please don't make the same mistake again next time."

Chu Jiaoyang agreed with a smile.

Fortunately, the smell on them had mostly dissipated, and the dorm supervisor wasn't particularly sensitive to it.

Otherwise, if they smell it, we'll have to face that awkward, embarrassing moment again.

As the four returned to 307, Chu Jiaoyang brought up the old topic again, "We haven't finished talking about the ghosts yet, boss, let's continue chatting."

Xie Fengnan had already finished washing up and was lying in bed when he heard Chu Jiaoyang say this.

"You want to listen to ghost stories so late at night?"

Chu Jiaoyang not only listened, but he also turned off the lights to create a certain atmosphere.

Seeing his reaction, Xie Fengnan said: "Alright then, I'll just make it up on the spot."

"In a historic campus, there is an old dormitory building, and room 307 has always been the subject of many strange rumors."

"The four students living in 307 are all very different: the intelligent and brave Xiao Xie, the lively and cheerful Xiao Chu, the calm and composed Xiao Mo, and the aloof and introverted Xiao Ye."

One evening, the four of them were preparing for the upcoming welcome activities in their dormitory when suddenly there was a knocking sound on the door.

Xiao Chu glanced at the terminal, frowned, and said, "Who could it be so late?"

As Xie Fengnan narrated vividly, Chu Jiaoyang and the others gradually began to get into character.

"Boss, you really nailed the scene! I actually heard a knock on the door!"

"Hmm? Could it be that Xiao Mo didn't do it?"

Xie Xingmo stated, "I didn't do anything."

In the darkness, several people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xie Fengnan's teeth are sore? Is it really that bad?

The knocking continued, perfectly complementing the opening line Xie Fengnan had just written—it was just too much.

Chu Jiaoyang, stubborn as ever, got up and walked straight to the door, intending to look out through the peephole.

Xie Fengnan thought that if the plot continued like this, wouldn't there be a scene where someone gouges out an eye?

So he simply darted over, opened the door, and even used his terminal to turn on a flashlight and shine it outside.

Immediately, a soft gasp was heard, "Ah—"

By this time, everyone could see clearly that the person outside the door was the dormitory supervisor.

Xie Fengnan, Xie Xingmo, Ye Jingtang: ...

Chu Jiaoyang: What I fear most is the sudden silence.

"What are you guys doing now?" the dormitory supervisor asked irritably, rubbing his eyes.

"We...cough cough...are playing role-playing games."

Xie Fengnan never expected that someone could make so many messes in one day.

"Sir, is there something you need at this hour?"

Xie Fengnan believes that the art of shifting the topic will never be outdated.

Sure enough, the dormitory supervisor didn't hold a grudge about what had just happened.

"Oh, I was just thinking that you guys had been criticized until now and probably hadn't had a chance to eat yet, so I brought you some nutritional supplements."

The old man handed over several vials of nutritional supplements as he spoke.

"Oh? Thank you, sir, but no need, we're not hungry."

Although most of the time, Xie Fengnan would accept all the goodwill shown to him by others.

However, he felt he was still not interested in nutritional supplements.

"Take it, don't be polite with me."

Xie Fengnan refused to accept it, but the dormitory supervisor stuffed it directly into his hand.

He made this decision after careful consideration.

Xie Fengnan and his classmates made their own nutritional supplements in their dormitory instead of buying them from the cafeteria, which shows that they must be living in difficult circumstances.

The old man felt that they had their own reasons for not having lunch and being educated so late, so he came over to help them out.

It's no wonder the dormitory supervisor thought that way. The Imperial First Military Academy doesn't care about background when recruiting. There are plenty of people who are so poor they can't even afford nutritional supplements.

Although there are poverty subsidies, there are occasionally extreme students who, when forced to do so, will directly eat the meat of star beasts that carry negative energy.
