“Such an old bus!”
Lin Feng sat in his seat on the bus, quietly looking out the window. He ignored the ghost next to him.
It wasn’t a harmful ghost.
There were three such ghosts on the entire bus.
The seats next to the other two ghosts were empty, as no student was willing to sit beside them.
“He really is different.”
Some students watched Lin Feng, silently thinking.
Some were already considering building a good relationship with Lin Feng, as he showed potential to become a powerful ghost master in the future.
The bus wobbled its way towards the outer city.
This was Lin Feng’s first time going to the outer city.
It was also the first time for all the students on the bus.
Previously, everyone had mostly stayed within the school.
After driving for over an hour, a tall wall appeared in their sight.
Then, the city gate came into view.
The bus drove through it.
Beyond the gate, Lin Feng saw other buses like theirs, carrying 15-year-old students from other schools who had also awakened their ghost spirits.
There were many guards at the city gate.
Lin Feng noticed some people in cloaks among them, who looked like ghost masters.
When the bus reached the gate, a cloaked person handed over a yellowed piece of paper.
“Open the gate.”
The gate slowly opened.
The bus drove through.
The city wall was very thick, and the inside was quite dark.
The students on the bus curiously looked around, eager to see what the outer city was like.
After a few seconds, the bus finally exited through the tunnel in the wall.
Ahead… the sky suddenly turned grey, as if covered by dark clouds, with no sunlight visible at all.
………….
“Wow, look at that!”
A student suddenly shouted.
Lin Feng looked and saw the student pointing behind the bus.
Following the direction, Lin Feng was a bit surprised.
Because…
The wall on the outer city side was golden!
The ten-meter-high, seemingly endless wall was entirely golden, looking particularly majestic.
Despite the lack of sunlight in the outer city, the golden wall still appeared quite striking.
“The Golden Wall! I know, it’s the legendary Golden Wall! It has a one-millimeter-thick layer of gold to prevent ghosts from passing through the wall!”
A student exclaimed.
“Gold…”
Lin Feng whispered to himself.
The wall appeared golden because of the gold coating on its surface.
Gold could block ghosts from penetrating, making it a crucial method for ensuring that the inner city wasn’t infiltrated by fierce ghosts.
The students looked on in amazement.
At this moment, the bus stopped.
The ghost beside Lin Feng moved, it took a step, passed through Lin Feng and headed towards the back door of the bus.
The driver opened the door, and the ghost walked off.
Meanwhile, from the front door several guys that looked like ghosts walked up.
When the students saw these ghosts, they were both surprised and scared.
“Don’t worry, these ghosts have fixed patterns of activity and are also important sources of benevolent ghosts. As long as they are not out of ontrol, you must not attack them. Understand?”
The cloaked person said.
The students nodded, and one quickly gave up his seat when a ghost seemed to want to sit there.
“So many ghosts.”
Another student said suddenly.
Lin Feng saw it too.
After passing through the wall, there was a large square with many ghosts wandering around. Besides ghosts, there were also some humans, mostly middle-aged, and not ghost masters but ordinary people.
“An era of coexisting with ghosts.”
Lin Feng whispered.
The bus soon drove out of the square and into a dilapidated street.
There were also some ghosts on the street, and even in the houses on both sides, making the street look eerie.
There were many people on the streets as well. From time to time, one or two ghost masters could be seen, but most of them were ordinary people, most of whom were over 40 years old.
“Over 40, with fertility declining. If their offspring don’t become ghost masters, they must come to the outer city to work to support their families.”
Lin Feng thought.
The bus drove along the long street and finally reached its destination, a large complex of buildings.
The bus stopped on the street in front of the buildings.
“Get off.”
The cloaked man said.
The dozens of students got off.
Other buses also arrived, and many students got off from them as well.
Soon, the more than 300 students who successfully awakened ghosts this time gathered together.
| Mission Completed |
|---|
| Ghost Tongtong gains +20 experience, +1 potential. |
The system’s voice sounded. The mission was complete!
“Which school are you from?”
“Third School, and you?”
“…..”
After more than 300 students gathered, they started chatting.
“Quiet!”
A hoarse voice interrupted.
Lin Feng saw it was the red paper man again.
All the students shut their mouths immediately.
He scanned the students and paused briefly when he saw Lin Feng before moving on.
“From now on, you are officially ghost masters. But of course, over the next three months, we will provide some guidance. Now, everyone come and collect your identity and communication tokens, then find a place to stay. Each house contains an evil spirit we have imprisoned. Whoever can deal with it will own that house. The larger the house, the stronger the evil spirit inside.
You can team up to handle them, but if you want to claim a house alone, you can. This is your first test. Oh, and by the way there are villas over there. If you want to live in a villa, you can try. Anyway, you have one day to choose. If you don’t make a choice now, you’ll have no choice but to earn some money and then find a place to live by yourself. That’s it, have fun everyone!”
