"Is that guy really dead?" Jiang Che asked.

Xiaoman replied, "Dead as a doornail."

Jiang Che said, "Alright... I'll need you to keep an eye out for me again. I'm heading back to that dorm building."

Xiaoman asked, "Why? Did you find something new?"

Jiang Che replied, "I don't know yet. I need to find Zhu Xiaoyue and confront her face-to-face."

...

Leaving the teaching building, he ran towards the abandoned dormitory.

Just as Jiang Che reached the entrance of the dormitory, he saw Ye Qingyao coming out.

Seeing Jiang Che, Ye Qingyao wasn't surprised; instead, she looked calm.

"I didn't really want to kill you. I know you have more revival chances. I just wanted to take the challenge reward for myself."

"Two million plus a favor from the Ye family in exchange. It's not a loss for you, is it?"

Caught by Teacher Gu and those ghostly students, Ye Qingyao didn't believe Jiang Che could come out alive.

Now that Jiang Che was standing in front of her, it was nothing more than the Mystic Stone's built-in revival chance.

Jiang Che touched his nose and smiled, "You speak quite frankly. But since the challenge task isn't over yet, it seems your deduction was wrong, right?"

Indeed.

Ye Qingyao had deduced a whole set of logic.

And because of this, she decided to make a move against Jiang Che.

Even if Jiang Che sought revenge after reviving, she still had one more revival chance.

Moreover, by the time Jiang Che came for revenge, she believed she would have enough time to complete the challenge.

As long as the challenge was completed and she returned to the real world.

One Jiang Che wasn't enough to make Ye Qingyao fear.

As for the two million... would Jiang Che even live to claim it once back in the real world?

However... things didn't go according to her plan.

Looking at Jiang Che.

Ye Qingyao's expression was uncertain.

Her plan was perfect, but she didn't expect to run into Teacher Ma right after leaving the classroom, wasting her last revival chance.

Ridiculously, her deduction was also wrong, and the challenge task wasn't completed as she wished.

If Jiang Che attacked her now.

She would only have one choice, to quit immediately!

In this way, not to mention the challenge task, she wouldn't even be able to complete the most basic mainline task.

This was a test from the Uncanny Bureau, and if she handed in such an answer sheet, she wouldn't be able to explain it to her family!

Living in a world that devours people, whether in the real world or the Mystic World, there are too many things one has no choice over.

Now, it all depended on what Jiang Che would do...

Ye Qingyao bit her silver teeth and said, "Jiang Che, this deal won't be a loss for you. If you can..."

"Uh!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Che suddenly turned into a blur.

His arm pierced straight through her chest!

"Cough! Cough cough..."

Blood gushed out with each cough.

Her beautiful eyes widened to the maximum, mist quickly spreading.

Ye Qingyao stared intently at the man so close in front of her.

She never expected.

Before she could even finish speaking, Jiang Che would launch an attack.

Wasn't he afraid she still had a revival chance?

Wasn't he afraid of the Ye family's retaliation?

However, at this moment, Jiang Che leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Learn more about psychology... your expression just now already betrayed you..."

"Farewell."

"Ye Qingyao."

He withdrew his arm.

Ye Qingyao fell to the ground.

Her body twitched intermittently, but her gaze began to fade.

"Why... why..."

At that moment.

Suddenly, a bloody shadow leaped out from Ye Qingyao's body!

It was the ghostly spirit inside her!

Just as Jiang Che thought Ye Qingyao's ghostly spirit was about to launch a surprise attack on him.

The bloody shadow turned around and darted in another direction!

Trying to escape?

"Xiaoman!"

"Boom!"

Xiaoman took control of the body.

Instantly, Jiang Che shot out like a cannonball.

"Boom!"

In a flash, Jiang Che stomped the Blood Blade Ghost underfoot!

"Spare me!"

"Spare me!"

"It was her who attacked you, I was just fulfilling the contract!"

"Brother, spare me, I'm willing to become your ghostly spirit, you set the terms of the contract, anything goes!"

Jiang Che looked at the Blood Blade Ghost under his foot and said in a calm voice, "To sign a contract with you, how many living people do I need to sacrifice?"

"No, no, brother, what are you saying?"

"To sign a contract with you would be an honor for me, the Blood Blade!"

"No sacrifices needed, none at all!"

"So, Ye Qingyao really sacrificed her thirteen classmates to contract with you?" Jiang Che asked.

Blood Blade Ghost: "Yes, but she can't compare to you."

Jiang Che: "Do you know what my nickname is?"

Blood Blade Ghost: "What?"

Jiang Che: "Saint Jiang Che! Killing my classmates, a capital crime!"

Before the Blood Blade Ghost could react.

Jiang Che pressed down hard with his foot.

"Boom!"

The Blood Blade Ghost's body exploded, blood splattering everywhere.

He couldn't understand even in death.

You call yourself a saint, yet you didn't hesitate when killing Ye Qingyao?

After dealing with the ghostly spirit, Jiang Che let out a long breath.

He knew very well.

The relationship between him and Ye Qingyao was beyond repair.

Whether he acted or not, once back in the real world, Ye Qingyao wouldn't spare him.

So this time, regardless of whether Ye Qingyao had a revival chance, he would take action.

If he could kill Ye Qingyao, that would be best.

The specifics of what happened in the Mystic World couldn't be known to the outside world.

If he couldn't kill her, then force her to quit.

Let me enjoy the experience alone, thank you.

But now, even her ghostly spirit had fled, proving Ye Qingyao was truly dead.

As for why he didn't agree to the Blood Blade Ghost's contract request.

It's simple...

Jiang Che wouldn't accept a contract with an evil ghostly spirit, as it would pose a threat to himself.

For example, if Xiaoman forcibly terminated the contract, he would suffer greatly.

Besides, it was weaker than Xiaoman.

Just as Jiang Che was about to enter the abandoned dormitory, Xiaoman suddenly reminded him.

"Not taking the equipment?"

"What?"

Xiaoman said, "Simply put, after killing an Uncanny, there's a chance to drop items related to it, known as Taboo Objects by humans. Check that pile of flesh and see."

"Really?" Jiang Che skeptically began to rummage through the remains of the Blood Blade Ghost he had stomped into a pulp.

This one was an E-level ghostly spirit, if there really was a Taboo Object left behind, wouldn't it be another E-level Taboo Object?!

Tens of thousands, maybe even millions?!

"Clunk."

Amidst the sticky mess.

Jiang Che suddenly felt something hard.
