Weird Safe House: I became stronger after taking in my roommate!

A global era of the bizarre.

Xiangyang School, Longcheng City.

"That Yang Kai, all he knows is ordering people around..."

"I can't even be bothered to bring my own mother a drink."

Shen Xu walked into the stairwell with a bottle of drink in his hand, feeling somewhat dejected.

The Yang Kai he mentioned was the class's sports committee member and also the school bully of No. 7 Middle School.

Yang Kai was very strong and often hung out with many older boys.

Anyone in the school who disagrees with Yang Kai will be harassed and suffer a particularly miserable fate.

Shen Xu was an orphan with no one to rely on since childhood, and he didn't want to have any conflict with this kind of person.

Today, we had a parent-teacher meeting. The students were all on the playground, and the classroom was filled with all sorts of adults.

He carefully slipped in through the back door and crouched down to find Yang Kai's seat.

"Hello, Auntie..."

As soon as I got close to him, I smelled a pleasant perfume.

Before me stood a woman in her thirties with long, flowing hair, dressed in a black business suit.

She is beautiful, elegant, and poised.

Shen Xu couldn't help but develop feelings for her.

"Who are you……"

Liu Meiyun turned around and looked at the handsome and youthful boy squatting behind her with some confusion.

"Hello, Auntie... I'm... Yang Kai's classmate, I'm here to bring you a drink."

Shen Xu felt a little nervous when he saw his classmate's mother's beautiful face.

"Thank you, classmate, you've worked hard."

Liu Meiyun smiled and accepted the drink, their fingers touching slightly.

"So beautiful."

"Yang Kai is such a scoundrel of a school bully, yet his mother is so gentle."

After leaving the classroom, Shen Xu's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

"Hiss... What's going on? It's so cold..."

As he walked, Shen Xu suddenly shivered.

He suddenly looked up, his face changed drastically, and his eyes were quickly filled with fear.

The stairwell was pitch black, filled with an eerie black mist, making it impossible to see anything in any direction.

"Could it be an invasion from the Ghost Realm?!"

"This is so unlucky..."

Shen Xu was stunned, and at the same time, screams began to erupt one after another around him.

Clearly, the other people in the teaching building also discovered the fact that the ghost realm had invaded.

Since ten years ago, the phenomenon of ghost invasions has been occurring frequently.

Once the ghost realm invades, it will envelop a certain area in reality, like a prison.

Countless vengeful ghosts roam among them, drawn by the life force of the living, and engage in cruel hunting.

"Safe houses... Safe houses will definitely spawn after the Ghost Domain invasion!"

Shen Xu looked around and quickly spotted a white dot of light. He rushed over to it.

In the ghost realm, space and reality overlap; this is a teaching building, but also a death maze.

As he ran toward the white dot of light, he saw a chubby boy in a school uniform rush past and walk through a sturdy door.

As the door closed, the white light turned yellow.

The safe house is the only refuge that humans can rely on in the ghost realm!

Each time a ghost invasion occurs, a certain number of safe houses will randomly spawn within it.

Only by entering a safe house can one have a chance to resist the vengeful ghosts and survive this crisis.

White represents unclaimed property. Once someone moves in, it will turn into color, and the owner's permission is required to enter again.

But in the Ghost Realm, no one wants to carry a burden...

Shen Xu ran quickly, continuing his search.

There are other white dots around, which are all locations of safe houses.

I could already hear the chilling sound of teeth grinding and the approaching footsteps.

These aren't human footsteps, they're ghostly footsteps!

"hiss……"

Shen Xu could even feel something blowing a cool breeze on his neck.

"Bang!"

The next moment, he finally entered a white safe house and immediately closed the door tightly.

"That was close..."

"But we're safe now, at least for the time being."

Shen Xu leaned against the door, panting heavily, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.

Upon closer inspection, the empty room in front of me contained only a bed that emitted light.

You have successfully entered the safe house, triggering the security officer mission.

【Task 1: Lie on the spirit bed and collect spirit fire】

[Task Two: Reinforce the safe house, defend against vengeful ghosts, and survive in the ghost realm]

[Task Two: Build and upgrade the Spirit Tower to eliminate all vengeful spirits and end the Ghost Realm]

A notification light appeared in front of him, and Shen Xu, who had calmed down a bit, felt a surge of excitement.

As long as you complete the safety officer tasks, you can become the most prestigious profession in today's society—a safety officer!

The security personnel belong to the Bureau of Mystery Investigation and are the only ones capable of combating and resolving the invasion of the ghost realm.

They enjoy extremely high salaries, benefits, and social status, and can even mobilize police resources.

"But... the success rate of safety officers' missions seems to be less than 3%."

Shen Xu was still aware of the situation, but this was ultimately an opportunity.

He walked quickly to the deathbed, lay down, and gently closed his eyes.

Shen Xu's vision did not disappear; on the contrary, it was as if he possessed the eye of God.

He could see the entire safe house, as well as the semi-circular area about three meters outside the door.

At the same time, a notification screen appeared—

[Awakening the Spirit Bed attribute... Your attribute is Thunder! (Rank B)]

Thunder, being an extremely yang and powerful element, has a restraining effect on all ghosts.

[Effect: Your Spirit Gate has a built-in lightning attribute damage reflection effect; the higher the level, the higher the damage.]

Lightning attribute?

B-rank talent, the master of the elements!

The Bureau of Mystery Investigations has announced that the probability of awakening is only 5%!

Shen Xu was overjoyed.

The spirit bed attribute is permanently bound.

In other words, if he successfully enters the safe house next time, his attribute will still be lightning, the most powerful element.

Of course, everything depends on surviving this ghost invasion first.

After the prompt, another control panel appeared in front of Shen Xu—

[The Deathbed: Thunder]

[Spirit Fire: 10+5/S (Currency for upgrading safe houses, generates 5 Spirit Fire per second)]

[Spirit Gate: Lv0 (A barrier against ghosts; can be upgraded by consuming 500 Spirit Fire)]

[Spirit Tower: None (A building capable of attacking, controlling, or influencing spirits; purchased from the Spirit Altar)]

[Spirit Altar: Arrow Tower (Launches elemental attacks, dealing damage to ghosts; requires 500 Spirit Fire to build)]

With Shen Xu's steady breathing, 5 points of spiritual fire were generated every second.

That's 300 points per minute. After two minutes, you can upgrade the Spirit Gate level or build an attack tower.

"Awooo..."

The sounds of vengeful ghosts and the cries of the living fleeing for their lives echoed from outside the door.

"Da da da da..."

Footsteps approached, and soon a disheveled female ghost arrived outside Shen Xu's safe house.

She pounded on her monstrous gate with her bare claws.

With each tap, the spirit gate trembled.

Even faint, tiny cracks have appeared...

A level 0 door is still too weak to effectively counter ghosts.

Fortunately, Shen Xu's lightning attribute came in handy, and every time the door was attacked, arcs of electricity would flash on it!

The electric arc stung the female ghost's hands, charring the decaying flesh, and the ghost quickly and wisely left.

"Thank goodness... Will the spiritual gate repair itself?"

"However, we still need to level up as soon as possible."

Shen Xu quickly accumulated 500 spirit fires and immediately chose to upgrade his spirit gate.

[Consuming 500 Spirit Fires, Spirit Gate level upgraded to Lv1!]

[Spiritual Gate defense increased, lightning attribute damage reflection increased!]

The level 1 spirit gate was even more solid. Two minutes later, another female ghost came and banged on the gate, screaming as she was injured by the lightning.

But this ghost was quite fierce and actually tried to force its way through the door, ultimately dying from the backlash of the spirit gate.

[Successfully killed a level 1 vengeful ghost! Spirit Fire +500!]

"Oh?"

"Slaying vengeful spirits will directly grant you Spirit Fire!"

Shen Xu was surprised by this unexpected joy.

After a brief hesitation, he chose to continue upgrading the Spirit Gate.

[Consuming 1000 Spirit Fires, Spirit Gate upgraded to Lv2!]

[Spiritual Gate defense increased, lightning attribute damage reflection increased!]

"Knock knock knock!"

Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

Then came the panicked cry for help from a woman.

"Could you let me in...? There are so many ghosts outside, please save me..."
