Chapter 17: I’ll Take It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Dezhu said that he would arrange for someone to come and protect Xu Ning, but Xu Ning rejected him. He was pretty sure that if the blood-red wedding dress came for him, he would be protected by Aili!
'I can't beat you, but my wife can definitely beat you!'
After hanging up the phone, Xu Tianjiao said worriedly, "Son, you have to be careful. According to what you said before, you weren't able to talk. This is one of the demon's special abilities. Our organization calls this ability the ghost realm."
Xu Tianjiao saw that Xu Ning had refused to be protected, however, he was not too surprised. This was because Xu Ning still had Aili by his side, but as a father, he still had some worries in his heart.
"The demons that can create the ghost realm are at least middle-level demons. Oh right, do you know how demons are classified?"
Xu Ning nodded and said indifferently, "Aili has mentioned it to me before."
"Alright, that saves me a lot of time. I'll explain the ghost realm to you.
"First of all, after the ghost realm is formed, it will pull in the people that the demons want to hunt. Although you may still be able to see the people outside, you have already entered another world. In that world, everything around you may attack you.
"Let me look for an example."
Xu Tianjiao began to search for one on his phone. Before long, he found a video and played it for Xu Ning to watch.
In the video, there was a man walking in an alley at night. However, after he walked for a while, he suddenly disappeared!
When he finally reappeared, he had already turned into a corpse with a big hole in his chest.
Beside his corpse were broken wires stained with blood. Those wires should not have been there...
Xu Tianjiao pointed at the dead man in the video and said, "According to our analysis, this person died from having his chest pierced by a high-voltage wire. Then the question is, how did this high-voltage wire, which was hanging high in the sky, Pierce through a person's chest?
"Even if it was broken and fell down, it should have electrocuted him to death."
"Are you trying to say that this is the effect of the ghost realm? The ghost realm controlled that high-voltage wire to kill that person?"
Xu Ning felt a chill run down his spine. If everything in the surroundings could attack him, then it would be really hard to guard against.
"Yes, this is the effect of the ghost realm. However, not all ghost realms can control things. Some ghost realms contain fire in them. Just like the video before, that was also the effect of the ghost realm."
Xu Tianjiao put away his phone and placed his hands on Xu Ning's shoulders, he said in the most serious tone in his life, "Son, if you encounter these, try to run as far as you can. The ghost realm is not endless. Even if you are pulled into it, as long as you run fast enough, there is a high chance that you can still escape."
"Yes, I understand."
Xu Tianjiao's words were almost the same as Aili's. It was nothing more than running away and shaking the enemy off. Otherwise, if he encountered a middle-level demon now, he would almost certainly die.
After the father and son chatted for a while, Xu Tianjiao received a phone call and his expression changed.
"Son, I have something urgent to attend to and have to leave first. As for the matter regarding Aili, only our family knows about it. Don't mention it to anyone else, understand?"
Although Xu Ning was puzzled, he still nodded. He sighed to himself that his parents were still hiding something from him.
After Xu Tianjiao gave his instructions, he left in a hurry. Xu Ning also returned to the classroom.
...
Xu Ning looked at his phone out of boredom. He wanted to accept the mission of defeating the blood-red wedding dress, but he did not know how to do it.
He remembered that Yi Guang and Chen Zhong were both from the supernatural bureau. He wanted to ask them about it, but both of them had applied for leave. According to them, they had something to do.
If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to deal with the demonic incident.
'Why don't I ask the people in the group?'
Xu Ning did as he thought and opened the wechat group.
[Hello everyone, I would like to ask where can I receive a commission?]
After he sent this message, someone immediately burst out.
A group member called 'Hidden Spirit Temple Cloth Bag Monk' replied, [@Supernatural Bureau Xu Ning, you're a newbie after all huh, if you want to receive a commission, you can take a look at the notice. The notice is filled with commissions that no one has accepted at the moment. If you see a suitable commission that you want to take, you can just let the group leader know in the group. This is the current way to get commissions.]
Xu Ning replied to the group member, [Thank you very much.]
After sending this message, Xu Ning began to browse through the announcement.
After searching around, he finally found the commission for the blood-red wedding dress.
[Blood-red wedding dress]
[Demon type: Unknown]
[Demon level estimate: Level 4]
[Action pattern: Preliminary confirmation that anyone who has seen it will become its target.]
[Commission level: B]
[Reward: 7 million soft female coins, 1,000 merit points, Grade-4 Spirit Herb Snow Ganoderma X1.]
"The reward is so generous?"
Xu Ning was dumbfounded when he saw the reward written on the notice. Just the 7 million soft female coins alone was enough to make his heart beat faster, not to mention the merit points and spirit herbs that followed.
Without any hesitation, Xu Ning immediately decided to accept the mission. He would not give this up.
[@Supernatural Bureau's Group Leader Xu Tianjiao, I'll accept the blood-red wedding dress commission.]
Xu Tianjiao was the group leader of this group.
After Xu Ning said this, the 'Hidden Spirit Temple Cloth Bag Monk' immediately replied.
[!!!!]
Following that, more than a dozen messages were spammed into the group.
Xu Ning replied, [????]
Xu Ning then asked, [Is there a problem?]
Looking at the series of messages Xu Ning frowned, wondering if this mission could not be accepted?
The 'Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie' replied, [Good brother, you're a college freshman, right?]
Xu Ning replied, [Yes, what's wrong?]
Before the 'Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie' could reply, the 'Hidden Spirit Temple's Cloth Bag Monk' explained.
'Hidden Spirit Temple's Cloth Bag Monk' said, [Young man, this is a grade B mission. That demon's strength is at least level 4, and its tracks are unpredictable. It will only hunt specific people. This mission isn't suitable for newbies to take on.]
The 'Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie' said, [Master Cloth Bag is right, good brother. This mission isn't suitable for newbies to take on.]
Xu Ning looked at his phone and smiled. These people were worried about him.
Xu Ning replied, [It's alright, everyone. I'm not a fool. I dare to accept it because I have the ability to handle it. Furthermore, I've already been targeted by that blood-red wedding dress.]
[!!!!!]
[!!!!!]
[!!!!!]
At this moment, everyone in the group chat were looking at the message and Xu Ning's ID in disbelief.
They were wondering whether all college students were so powerful. They were surprised that Xu Ning had provoked the blood-red wedding dress!
