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

Lin Huan's face immediately froze.

The shop in front of us was brightly lit, and there were customers shopping inside.

The hostess, incredibly,... lost her head on the ground.

And the head that fell to the ground still wore a polite smile.

"ghost!"

Liu Meiyun had just witnessed the scenes in the ghost realm yesterday, and was still quite frightened, but remained conscious.

She immediately hid behind Shen Xu, tightly gripping his shoulders, seeking a sense of security.

Shen Xu calmly released Lin Huan's wrist, but the young lady panicked and grabbed his hand instead.

After all, there was no one else around, and she was just instinctively seeking help.

"what!"

"What happened?"

"A ghost!"

Terrified sounds finally erupted from inside the store as customers screamed.

A surging, eerie black mist began to spread, quickly enveloping the entire store and expanding outwards.

"Buzz!"

A slight rumbling sound echoed in the void, and an eerie light involuntarily appeared in Shen Xu's eyes.

His left eye was a blue lightning bolt, and his right eye was a golden flame.

The Heaven and Earth Soul-Suppressing Tower within his body was emitting a threatening aura.

The artifact is the only thing a safety officer can take from the safe house.

Shen Xu's Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower is an A-grade spiritual artifact, powerful enough to suppress the principal of the Ghost School.

Dealing with a ghost realm that is still in its infancy and only has a few shops is naturally a piece of cake.

"Your...your eyes..."

Lin Huan stared in astonishment at Shen Xu's glowing eyes.

"Huanhuan, don't be afraid. Shen Xu is the safety officer. We'll be fine."

Liu Meiyun patted her heaving chest to comfort her best friend.

"well……"

Lin Huan nodded, somewhat bewildered, and whispered, "No wonder you, Liu Meiyun, have been a widow for so many years, yet you were won over by this handsome young man. I'd love to throw myself at him too!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Shen Xu said calmly, "Evacuate the people in the mall. I'll leave in ten minutes."

The Heaven and Earth Soul-Suppressing Tower is not infinitely powerful; it requires spiritual fire to unleash its full potential.

The essence of the spirit fire is also a strange power, but it is a form that can be used by the safety officer.

Spiritual fire cannot be condensed in the outside world; it can only be condensed on the spirit bed in the safe house within the ghost realm.

Shen Xu had no need to waste his spiritual fire on strangers. He stood there to deter the invasion of the ghost domain, simply because he didn't want it to spread too quickly and trap him inside as well.

And once someone dies in the Ghost Realm... without a doubt, the speed of the Ghost Realm's invasion will increase significantly.

"well!"

Lin Huan immediately called the mall's security personnel. Being the boss's daughter was quite useful, and soon many young men in uniforms with walkie-talkies began to communicate with the merchants.

However, it is extremely inefficient, as closing shops in broad daylight is not an easy task in itself.

"Close down? On what grounds? We've already paid our rent and property management fees."

"Yeah, why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Get out of the way! Don't interrupt our business!"

"Excuse me, I need to ask our store manager..."

"What's wrong with you security guards? How can you be kicking customers out?"

Five minutes passed quickly, but the number of people in the mall hadn't decreased at all.

Lin Huan had no choice but to personally explain the situation to other merchants and customers.

Seeing this, Shen Xu frowned slightly: "Aunt Meiyun, please leave the mall and try to stay as far away as possible."

He cannot move now, otherwise the ghost realm will instantly engulf the entire mall.

I'm having a bit of bad luck. I just came out of the ghost realm yesterday, and today I ran into a ghost while shopping for clothes.

"Xiao Shen..."

Liu Meiyun looked at Shen Xu with concern.

"I'll be fine. You saw it yourself; it's this ghost realm that's afraid of me."

Shen Xu calmly guarded the Ghost Realm and said, "Go quickly, don't waste time."

Liu Meiyun then quickly left, calling her best friend Lin Huan and telling her to leave as well.

……

The Bureau of Mysterious Investigations.

Murphy was the first to receive the call.

"Zhao Bin, a ghostly realm has appeared at the Longteng Building. Go there immediately; I'll be there within fifteen minutes!"

"Dragon Tower? Okay, got it!"

Zhao Bin's impatient voice came through: "What a nuisance..."

Murphy frowned, urging cautiously, "This time we have to be quick..."

"Beep beep—"

Zhao Bin hung up the phone immediately.

Murphy sighed helplessly and immediately took his detector and computer to the scene as quickly as possible.

Upon arriving at the Longteng Building, she saw a large number of people being evacuated. The police had arrived first and had already set up a cordon, claiming it was a fire.

The surging, eerie black mist did bear some resemblance to smoke and dust.

In the past six months, the frequency of ghost invasions into reality has been increasing. If every single one of these incidents were exposed, people would have been too scared to go out, and the entire society's economy would collapse.

"It's you..."

Murphy immediately spotted a young woman dressed elegantly and with a charming demeanor standing by the police tape.

Liu Meiyun turned around, somewhat bewildered, as she hadn't seen the investigator, Murphy, yesterday.

"My name is Murphy, and I work for the Paranormal Investigation Bureau."

Murphy lowered her voice and asked, "Isn't Shen Xu with you?"

The Bureau of Mysterious Investigations!

Liu Meiyun nodded upon hearing this: "He's still inside. Where's your safety officer? Go help him!"

"He...hasn't arrived yet."

Murphy was a little embarrassed. She took a miniature iron tower out of her backpack and placed it on the ground. It was golden all over, as if it were covered in gold!

In fact, this is gold. Gold is the only substance in the world that is not affected by strange energies.

She put on a gold-threaded glove, untied the lid of the golden iron tower, and immediately an invisible, eerie energy spread out...

"Great! With Shen Xu here, this incident will definitely be brought under control."

Murphy's face lit up with a hint of delight as he quickly turned on his computer and connected it to the detector.

The moment the screen lit up, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked somewhat bewildered.

"How could this happen?"

"Why are there so many strange fluctuations in the mall?!"

……

Inside the mall, the eerie black mist that had originally filled only one shop began to spread outwards.

The black mist bypassed Shen Xu and began to spread throughout the entire shopping mall...

"What happened?"

Shen Xu frowned. He vaguely sensed other strange fluctuations echoing nearby, which greatly reduced the deterrent effect of his Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower, thus freeing the suppressed ghost domain.

"Are you...are you alright?"

At this moment, Lin Huan ran back, panting.

Perhaps it's true that birds of a feather flock together; as Liu Meiyun's best friend, she also has a rather graceful figure.

The burgundy knit sweater was stretched taut by the curves of her chest, its bulging waves quite eye-catching.

"You've exceeded your time limit."

Shen Xu frowned. He had only given Liu Meiyun time to leave, and now 12 minutes had passed.

"Don't be stingy, handsome. These ghosts are all afraid of you. Your sister is counting on you to protect her."

Lin Huan shamelessly took Shen Xu's arm, forcing a smile, even though her back was already soaked with sweat.

The surrounding area was filled with swirling black mist, and eerie figures moved about, sending chills down one's spine.

Shen Xu glanced at her: "You're so old, why are you pretending to be an older sister?"
