Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Evil Star Ghost Skill, Judgment of Original Sin, School Guardian Beast

The moment those eyes fell upon them!

All the ghosts on the playground felt as if they had been plunged into an abyss!

The shadow of death loomed over them, pressing down on their hearts. It felt as if the slightest movement would result in instant death.

’Just what... what kind of ghost is this?’

The Crimson-robed PE teacher had been killed with a single bite, and they couldn’t even withstand its aura.

Several ghosts were already growing dizzy, their legs going weak!

"Miss Yun, your cat..." Loo Huan gulped, utterly dumbfounded.

"Lily!"

Seeing this, Yun Zhenyue panicked, thinking Lily was going on a rampage.

But just then.

A reassuring feeling washed over her. It was as if Lily was telling her she wouldn’t kill the innocent.

At this moment, Lily seemed to be enduring some kind of pain.

Her claws dug deep into the ground as her red fur swayed in the rain.

A few moments later!

VWOOM!

A fierce torrent of crimson light erupted from her body, spreading across the playground like ripples and instantly sending every ghost flying!

In the blink of an eye, Lily’s aura grew even stronger, as if she had undergone a transformation. Her height shot up dramatically, and the bone spurs on her head gleamed with a cold light.

And the eyes on her body became more animated, as if they had gained sentience, now expressing emotions of joy, cheer, and delight...

"Lily, you—"

Yun Zhenyue’s eyes widened in astonishment. "You’ve become an Evil Star?"

The moment she spoke!

The ghosts who grasped the meaning of her words gasped.

’This ghost cat actually broke through to become an Evil Star right now?’

’The same level as Mr. Luo!’

The ghosts from Class 2 stared at Yun Zhenyue, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

’As expected of our Yun!’

’Even the cat she keeps is an Evil Star!’

’No wonder our homeroom teacher didn’t dare mess with her!’

’With her connections, she could do whatever she pleased at Chilling Middle School!’

Meanwhile, a chill ran through the ghosts of Class 1.

’They had actually tried to punish someone with an Evil Star for a pet?’

Many ghosts, realizing this after the fact, felt a profound sense of relief.

’Good thing we got beaten up by the Class 2 president.’

’The female class president saved our lives!!’

...

But things weren’t over yet.

The eyes on Lily’s body did not close.

Those eyes turned toward the ghosts of Class 1!

Each eye fixed its gaze on a single ghost!

HUMMM!

In just a moment!

Dozens of ghosts in Class 1’s ranks collapsed one after another.

The male class president and his two cronies.

And several other ghosts—ones who looked older and had sinister expressions—also died one after another.

They died without even realizing what was happening.

Meanwhile, the eyes fixed on them revealed looks of glee!

Seeing this, the remaining ghosts of Class 1 trembled in fear.

Having done all this.

Lily seemed tired. She quickly reverted to her small cat form and, with a single leap, jumped into Yun Zhenyue’s arms.

"Lily, you... killed them?"

Yun Zhenyue looked down in confusion, but she trusted that Lily wouldn’t kill without reason.

In response, Lily nuzzled her head against her and opened her mind, sharing her feelings.

Instantly!

Yun Zhenyue understood why Lily had killed those ghosts from Class 1.

Those ghosts had all bullied weaker children and felt no remorse.

Of course.

Lily had spared those who looked young themselves and showed remorse.

Otherwise, at least ten more ghosts would have died!

The ability to trace this information back to its source was a new power Lily had gained after becoming an Evil Star.

Only then did Yun Zhenyue realize that an Evil Star, unlike a Crimson-robed Ghost, possesses an ability called a Ghost Skill. This skill is usually tied to the depth of their lingering obsession and acts like a buff, helping them grow stronger.

Lily’s Ghost Skill was called Judgment of Original Sin.

Any ghost that had bullied or killed someone younger would be marked by her, allowing her to deal increased damage to them.

These ghosts from Class 1 had all gotten what they deserved.

Knowing this.

Yun Zhenyue gently stroked Lily’s fur. "You’ve worked hard," she whispered.

Then, she turned to the terrified ghosts from both classes and spoke slowly.

"You don’t need to be afraid. As long as you haven’t bullied your classmates, Lily won’t hurt you."

But Lily’s terrifying aura still lingered.

None of the ghosts dared to approach.

Seeing this, Yun Zhenyue glanced at a cowering Loo Huan. "Loo Huan, didn’t you want to pet her a moment ago?"

"Uh—"

Loo Huan’s scalp prickled with fear. ’Who would dare pet *that*?’

’Is that a cat?’

’That’s an Evil Star!’

’And you’re still treating it like a cat?’

The image of it instantly killing the PE teacher and dozens of other ghosts was still fresh in her mind, leaving her completely shaken. She’d almost thought she was going to be next.

Loo Huan took a long moment to recover before finally giving a thumbs-up. "Miss Yun, you’re the real badass here!"

"I get it now! A true badass doesn’t have to flex on their own; they have others do it for them!"

"You and your strange remarks."

Yun Zhenyue looked at Loo Huan’s injured calf and sighed.

"Speaking of which... a commotion this big... it won’t attract the principal, will it?"

"Nope!"

Loo Huan said with absolute certainty.

"That good-for-nothing old man is way too lazy to bother with this stuff!"

"You seem pretty sure about that," Yun Zhenyue noted, surprised.

"Huh? Haha, just a wild guess," Loo Huan said, breaking into a cold sweat as she quickly changed the subject. "This gym class is over, right? Shouldn’t we head back inside?"

"I’ll go find the dean of discipline later and explain things for you."

Just as they were speaking.

The ghost dean of discipline, dressed in a black coat, slowly approached from the distance.

He was flanked by Megan and her group of girls.

He gasped when he saw the field littered with corpses.

The only reason he had arrived so quickly.

Was because Megan had reported it to him!

She’d said someone was fighting with a staff member on the playground and demanded that he severely punish a person named Yun Zhenyue!

He remembered Yun Zhenyue. She hadn’t offered him any "gifts" upon enrollment, so he’d simply assigned her to Class 2.

’But Megan never said the PE teacher had been *killed*, did she?’

’He wasn’t much stronger than the PE teacher!’

’Did I come here just to get myself killed?’

A drop of cold sweat trickled down the dean’s temple, and he couldn’t help but wipe it with his sleeve. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Just as he was about to ask Yun Zhenyue what had happened,

the cat in her arms lifted its head, and a terrifying aura washed over him!

The intense, oppressive feeling made the ghost dean’s legs go numb.

It was just like facing Mr. Luo when he was looking for his daughter!

The dean chickened out.

And that wasn’t all.

He also saw Loo Huan pull a medal from a jacket and dangle it in his direction.

When he got a clear look at the medal, the dean’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he nearly collapsed on the spot.

’Is that... a medal from the school’s board of directors?’

’And it’s the fucking chairman’s?!!’

How could he dare punish someone protected by the chairman?

What’s more, even the ghosts from Class 1 and Class 2 were united, staring him down as if ready to protect Yun Zhenyue.

Most of the surviving ghosts from Class 1.

Had actually been bullied by the very ones who were just killed.

So now, far from resenting Yun Zhenyue, they felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude toward her.

’Do they have to be like this?’

The dean of discipline was on the verge of tears.

’He was just here to go through the motions!’

’What the hell is wrong with every single one of them!’

He had never felt so threatened in his entire life!

"Ahem..."

The ghost dean cleared his throat loudly, drawing everyone’s attention.

He hastily announced, "I have been apprised of the situation. The PE teacher was administering unauthorized corporal punishment to students. He got what he deserved. The matter is closed, and the school will not be pursuing it further."

"This cat of yours... is quite remarkable."

"If you wish, you may allow it to accompany you to your classes."

"This cat... let’s have it serve as the temporary Guardian Beast of Chilling Middle School. I’m confident that with her around, there will be no more bullying of the weak in our school."

Hearing this.

Megan—who had been hoping for Yun Zhenyue to clash with the school authorities and attract the principal’s attention—was left completely dumbfounded.

’Seriously?’

’Does the dean have to be such a coward?’

’The cat is practically shitting on your head, and you’re complimenting it on its aim?’
