Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao’s face was ugly. This was his ancestors’ tomb. It was bad enough that they had burst in, but to use explosives was unacceptable. Wasn’t this disturbing the peace of the souls resting here?

With a sullen face, Chu Hao charged ahead, leading the way, and the others hurriedly followed.

Suddenly, a gunfight broke out ahead. Two groups were firing at each other, and it was incredibly intense.

As Chu Hao approached, he immediately saw one group—the ones who had set the explosives—clashing with a group of foreigners. The other group was from the He Family. The battle between them was fierce, a mix of melee and gunfire.

An elderly man from the He Family side bellowed furiously, "Who leaked the information, letting these foreigners get involved? If I find out, I will kill him!" When the He Family’s side caught a glimpse of Chu Hao and his companions, the old man cursed, "Su Changyu, was it you who leaked it to the foreigners?"

Enraged by the old man’s accusation, Su Changyu retorted, "Get lost! Don’t pin the blame on me."

"If not you, then who else, you old fox? What the hell are you waiting for? Kill these damn foreigners!" the old man, who was extremely irritable, raged.

These foreigners were too despicable. Not content with just treasure hunting, they actually blasted the tomb open.

The gunfire was extremely fierce. The foreigners were well-equipped and had already blown an entrance through the main gate, burrowing inside. "AH!" Suddenly, a scream pierced the air as someone started banging their head against the wall relentlessly until they died.

The others were shocked, not knowing what had just happened.

Chu Hao’s expression was grim; it was he who had dispatched Sadako. Wielding the Night Demon Blade, he charged forward, dodging bullets with incredible speed, and began slaughtering the foreigners mercilessly.

A head flew off, blood spurting three feet into the air.

Another foreigner, standing ten meters away, cursed in his language and aimed his gun at Chu Hao. But Chu Hao was faster, having already drawn his Desert Eagle and fired a shot.

"BANG!"

The hand aiming at him exploded. The power of the Desert Eagle was indeed extraordinary.

Chu Hao, however, had aimed for the head. To miss by that much? Ridiculous!

Seconds later, the gunfire stopped. Chu Hao had killed seven or eight men in succession. With a blade in his right hand and a gun in his left, his domineering and suave demeanor left everyone in awe. "You foreign bastards dare to show off in Huaxia? This is your fate," Chu Hao declared.

"Ding... Host has successfully shown off, earning 700 Pretentiousness Points."

Everyone, including the somber individuals lurking in the darkness, was utterly dumbstruck—the fight had ended so quickly. Was it necessary to be so ferocious? Charging into the battlefield like a headstrong youth, not only avoiding bullets but also killing seven or eight men with ease?

Within the ancient tomb, everyone now saw Chu Hao.

"Chu Hao, he’s here," they murmured.

"That’s Chu Hao! Quite skilled indeed."

In the darkness, there were hushed whispers. Many people had come, but most remained hidden.

A sultry voice laughed. "Hehe... to appear so openly, aren’t you afraid of becoming a target?"

A cold man said, "Cut him down, and we’ll have the blood needed to open King Chu’s Tomb. Shall we do it now?"

Chu Hao, with his exceptional hearing, could hear the covert conversations clearly, even in the dark. Many present saw him as prey. But who was truly the prey?

Su Muyue and the others ran over and asked, "Are you all right?"

Chu Hao shook his head. "These trash couldn’t harm me."

A middle-aged man who had visited this place before said, "This is only the outer part of the tomb. The real tomb interior lies further inside; there’s still a long way to go."

Chu Hao pondered in silence. It’s time to leave this team; they think I’m easy to exploit!

Just as Chu Hao was thinking about leaving, Zuo Baoshan said, "Everyone, be careful. The mechanisms here are even more ingenious than the ones outside, so make sure not to get separated."

Damn! If there are even more ingenious traps, then I’ll stick with them a bit longer.

"Let’s move."

Upon entering the other side of the tomb door, they found it was very dark inside, barely illuminated by lamplight. However, Zuo Baoshan had instructed everyone to wear night-vision goggles, as using lamps would likely make them targets. Su Muyue handed Chu Hao a pair of night-vision goggles and said, "Be careful not to step on any mechanisms."

In his heart, Chu Hao asked, System, is there anything that can let me see in the dark?

System: "Host is recommended to purchase ’Night Vision,’ which requires 5,000 Pretentiousness Points." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Purchase.

"Ding... Host has purchased ’Night Vision,’ consuming 5,000 Pretentiousness Points."

Item: Night Vision

Rarity: ★★

Ability: Allows clear vision in the night, consuming 10 Mana Points per minute.

After purchasing Night Vision, although I could show off by saying I don’t need it, I’ll choose not to be pretentious. Hiding one’s abilities is also an ace up the sleeve.

Putting on the night-vision goggles, Chu Hao could make out the contours of the surrounding architecture, though not very clearly. However, when he activated Night Vision, his view immediately transformed. It was a very peculiar ability—it allowed visibility in the dark as clear as daylight.

"Who’s there!"

Zuo Lingyun, the first one to enter, immediately spotted a figure and raised his hand to fire a shot. The rest of the group was startled and became vigilant.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh and said, "And you call yourselves a family of tomb raiders? Shooting terracotta soldiers as if they were people? Are you here to be a comedian?"

Hearing this, everyone relaxed their guard, looking curiously at Zuo Lingyun.

Zuo Lingyun’s face turned unsightly as he continued moving forward.

It was pitch black, and those who entered later didn’t use lights. Who knew where those other people were, or if they were being watched. One after another, more people entered the ancient tomb, including the He Family, the Yan Family, and many others lurking in the shadows.

The place was vast; all along the way, there were terracotta soldiers.

Yan Chen was lurking in the shadows. The moment Chu Hao appeared, the murderous intent in his heart almost became uncontrollable. Yan Chen was the kind of man who could remain calm in the face of anything, yet Chu Hao alone drove him to the brink. Last time, at the exchange meeting, he had almost died at Chu Hao’s hands.

What was more important, I always regarded Chu Hao as a mere diversion, but he publicly humiliated and toyed with me! My proud heart absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen.

"Is that Chu Hao?"

Next to Yan Chen stood a stunningly beautiful woman, roughly his age. She had a voluptuous figure and an enchanting, seductive demeanor. But if you were fooled by her appearance, you were as good as dead. This woman was Yan Furong from the Yan Family, Yan Chen’s older female cousin.

Yan Chen’s expression was icy as he said, "This man is mine, don’t interfere."

Yan Furong gave a slight smile, her charming dimpled smile adding a touch of purity to her allure. "Don’t be like that! Leave some for your sister to savor slowly," she said.

Yan Chen said helplessly, "Sister Rong, I have a deep grudge against this person. Just this once, don’t get involved."

Yan Furong looked a little surprised. Yan Chen rarely took anyone seriously. This young man named Chu Hao must truly be as capable as the rumors suggest.
