Chapter 1411 In Modern Day 9

To be honest, after becoming an Assassin, even if there isnt any light, I can still see the surroundings clearly without worrying about whats on the ground.

But theres no conflict between me being able to see in the darkness and my need for a flashlight.

Who isnt afraid of the dark?

At that moment, my heart beats faster, pounding like a drum.

Almost at the same time, I sense someone watching me. The cold wind is the breath of a monster lurking deep in the darkness.

Recalling what happened on the bus previously, I pretended not to notice anything amiss and look down at my phone.

Its broken again?

I had previously encountered the sudden experience of my phones flashlight dimming, but I was using a crappy phone. At this moment, the experienced me habitually blamed it on the phone.

After checking the phone and making the lights turn on again, I continue forward without anything happening.

The eerie wind is still lingering in the corridor. The light flickers in brightness, digging up the fear hidden at the bottom of my heart.

As I walk, I seriously consider what powers an Assassin has against ghosts.

The answer is:

Nothing.

Since I have nothing, I dont look forward to slaying evil or dealing with the possible existence of a ghost as if dealing with gangsters.

One step, two steps, three steps. I calmly walk up the flight of stairs and arrive at the top floor.

The lights in the building are working fine as they shine down with their yellow light.

Everything returns to normal.

Following that, the cold gust of wind stops. The light stops flickering. I successfully return to the sixth floor and stop at the entrance of my rented apartment.

Phew, theres actually a ghost present here! I have to move out as soon as possible! This thought subconsciously flashes across my mind.

I dont feel any shame. This is an instinctual response that anyone can have!

However, if I quietly moved away, Sia Tas and her boyfriend would definitely not know whats happening here. Theyll continue living here. Who knows whether the devil might pester them... Also, there are twelve units in this building. Its impossible for me to inform every household, right? Also, how do I say it? Ghosts? Who would believe me? I hold my key, momentarily held in a difficult spot.

Quickly hire a capable Daoist priest or monk to exorcise the ghost? But I dont know any. Before today, I didnt even know that there are supernatural powers in this world. It was all fantasy... Yes, the Tarot Clubs The Star knows that the mysterious cult provides all kinds of superpowers, which means he has a certain level of understanding in such matters... Will he know a few masters who are good at busting ghosts? Phew, Ill give it a try. If theres nothing I can do, Ill make an anonymous call to inform the police. Ill post a flyer that mentions how this place is haunted at every households door, No, not flyer, a bulletin... I quickly come up with a plan.

As for the outcome, I dont have any demands. After all, I dont have any experience in this area. Besides, I should prioritize protecting myself.

Opening the door, I enter the room and return to my room. I think for a while before logging on to QQ and entering a private chat with The Star.

Uh, The Hanged Man and The Hermit suspect that hes a member of cyber police. If I were to directly look for him, he will definitely be able to find my IP address and lock onto my identity... Just as Im about to type the message, I remember the warning from two other members of the Tarot Club.

After tinkering for a while, I use a proxy and use my alt, The World, to say to The Star:

Are you there? I have something to ask you.

...Dont use that emoji. It scares me. Star replies quickly.

Why? I ask.

The Star says:

This emoji has become popular recently. Its very strange.

Furthermore, something tragic happened to a family last week. Everyone in that family wore a monocle and died in different places. The only survivor was a girl who went mad from the trauma. She repeatedly tells people not to go near her.

I suspect that those who use this emoji will be targeted by an unknown existence. They will automatically put on a monocle and commit suicide or kill each other.

Dont scare me . I reply, unsure if I should believe him.

Haha, its just a joke. The monocle in this emoji is on a different eye from the tragedy. Furthermore, there are thousands of people using this emoji. Which unknown existence can keep an eye on everyone? The Star switches to asking, Why are you looking for me?

I directly say:

My area is haunted. Do you know anyone whos good at ghostbusting?

Im very good at that. The Star replies without hesitation.

Then wouldnt I be exposed? I quickly send an emoji:

I wont trouble you for the time being. You seem very busy.

Do you have anyone else that you could introduce to me?

Yes, a lady, a medium. Shes skilled in techniques from overseas, but I can guarantee that its effective. Theres another foreigner, a priest. Hes also good at setting up exorcism rituals. The Star replies.

Theyre all foreigners? You dont have Daoist priests or monks to introduce? Im more trusting towards local ones.

The Star replies:

I only know foreign ones!

Okay. Whos better? I had wanted to ask whos cheaper, but considering how someone cheap might not do the job, I dont dare to skimp on that.

The Star immediately says:

Maam Da.

Ill give you her QQ number. Add her directly and contact her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Okay, thank you. I quickly copy the QQ number and paste it into the search box.

Mam Das QQ name is SleepingWithCorpses, and adding her requires one to answer a verification question: How old are you?

How old? This question is strange... Do I need to use a countersign? Im puzzled for a moment. I take a screenshot and send it to The Star.

Whats the answer?

The Star replies:

Just answer that youre an adult.

Whats the meaning of this? She doesnt entertain underaged clients? Im confused.

No. She just wants to determine the extent she can go in the conversation. The Star answered simply, and then used an image to supplement it: Open to suggestions, ready to be suggestive.

... For some reason, Im at a loss on how to respond. I fill up the verification according to The Stars answer and fill in Adult.

Da doesnt seem online. I didnt get added even after a few minutes. After thanking The Star, I use snacks to console myself.

After eating and drinking, I head to the bathroom outside to wash up and prepare to head to bed.

Maam Da still hasnt added me.

I switch on the bathroom light and turn on the tap. I reach for the towel.

Turning around, I suddenly see a figure in the mirror.

That figure is blurry. Vaguely, I see it wearing a small hat. Its a woman in a black dress.

Clearly, this isnt my projection!

It cant be Sia Tas, who wears pajamas as home!

Instantly, my mind explodes and I hurriedly retreat.

Dont be afraid, the woman in the mirror says in an ethereal voice. Someone hired me to protect you.

Who? I ask subconsciously.

The figure in the mirror replies calmly, A detective named Sherlock Moriarty.
