Ghost Catching System-Chapter 769 - 768: Running into a Classmate_1

Damn him. This guy is just taking advantage. And he's trying to act like my uncle?

Chu Xionghuan laughed. "Emperor Bai Jiang was indeed friends with your father. Back then, he even pursued your mother."

Chu Hao felt a bit dizzy.

Emperor Bai Jiang joked, "If I had won your mother's heart, you wouldn't exist."

Chu Hao rolled his eyes. "My mother's taste is still quite normal. If she had chosen someone like you with your silver hair and non-mainstream look, it would have been a downgrade."

Emperor Bai Jiang, who was drinking tea, almost spat it out and said with a look of grievance, "The first time I saw you, I thought you were very much like Wang Zai. It turns out you really are his kid—quite a brat."

Chu Hao, not to be outdone, said indifferently, "Seeing that aggrieved look on your face, my father must have shut you down plenty of times, huh?"

That remark seemed to have hit a sore spot for Emperor Bai Jiang, who said with dissatisfaction, "Your father just had better luck."

Then, Emperor Bai Jiang looked at the manual. After studying it for a while, he said, "The notes here match what Shangu Imperial City said."

Shangu Imperial City also breathed a sigh of relief. He had intentionally recorded it in the ancient script of Wo Country for secrecy.

Chu Xionghuan nodded. "We leave tomorrow."

While everyone was studying the Holy City, someone from Sanqing Pavilion burst in, panting. Li Yin exclaimed, "Mouse, big news! Such big news!"

Li Yin, seeing the group and spotting Emperor Bai Jiang among them, was taken aback, his eyes widening in shock.

Chu Hao asked, "What's the big news?"

Li Yin was somewhat bewildered. How come Chu Hao is with Emperor Bai Jiang? They had once seen the silver-haired Emperor Bai Jiang during Chu Hao's live broadcast. This was the person who had directly opened the passage to the Underworld and was considered a major figure in the Yin and Yang Realm.

Regaining his composure, Li Yin said, "It's from Tibet. In the Uninhabited Area of Tibet, something has emerged in the Holy City."

Everyone was startled; they had just been planning a visit to the Holy City.

Li Yin took out a notebook and opened it. "This is from the innermost files of the Seventh District. I'm guessing it'll be leaked tomorrow."

Everyone looked and couldn't help but gasp.

In the Uninhabited Area of Tibet, the Holy City had undergone some changes.

The Holy City had truly become a Holy City, emitting a bizarre radiance, as if Divine Deities illuminated the heavens.

The Seventh District, based in Tibet, had always paid close attention to the Holy City, typically observing it from 3,000 meters away. However, the personnel stationed there began experiencing abnormal symptoms: their souls left their bodies and headed towards the Holy City.

Later, some of them woke up—or rather, their souls returned—and they underwent peculiar changes, becoming extremely powerful and transforming from ordinary people into Yin-Yang Persons.

One person even developed a physical abnormality: a ghost-faced tumor grew on their chest, a combination of Curse Marks that could reportedly absorb the energy of Ghosts.

This news shocked the Seventh District.

Emperor Bai Jiang said helplessly, "Now, the secrets there are probably impossible to hide."

Indeed, although there was no news to the outside world yet, both Taoism and Evil Cults had already gotten wind of this. Countless people were rushing to Tibet, to the Holy City, in search of opportunities.

Chu Xionghuan said, "There's no time to delay. We should also set off."

The news could no longer be concealed and spread over the internet. People near Tibet experienced their souls leaving their bodies and, upon waking, had stumbled upon great fortune.

Although supernatural incidents—countless Ghosts, Demons, and Evil Spirits—were now commonplace, no news had been as shocking as this.

In this era of terror, nothing was more tangible or enticing than becoming a Yin-Yang Person.

In recent days, countless people had been awaiting divine favor, wondering when they would awaken as Yin-Yang Persons and stand at the forefront of the new era. This also represented a chance to completely turn their lives around.

Many youths, previously unremarkable, had become wealthy after awakening, serving as prime examples.

And now, with the opportunity to strive to become a Yin-Yang Person available, who wouldn't be thrilled?

Ordinary people were ecstatic, flocking to Tibet.

This news spread quickly abroad. Foreigners were also shocked and excited, making their way to Tibet in Huaxia.

Chu Hao and his group hurried to the airport, only to find it impossibly crowded; tickets to Tibet for the next five days were all sold out.

In the end, it was Chu Xionghuan who made a call and managed to secure tickets.

Li Yin looked at the sea of people at the airport—some dragging their families, others carrying luggage—and exclaimed, "They've all gone mad!"

Chu Xionghuan said, "There are only about 3,000,000 Yin-Yang Persons globally right now. Since the emergence of Yin-Yang Persons, there have been too many benefits, and life is more secure. The Holy City offers the chance to become a Yin-Yang Person, so it's natural for ordinary people to yearn for it."

Everyone wants to be exceptional, not lead a mediocre life. This terrifying era is fraught with danger but also filled with opportunities.

Chu Hao wondered, What would I have become without the System's help? Would I also have awakened? Or would I have continued my mediocre life, without even the money for a ticket to Tibet?

"Chu Hao?" someone called his name from behind.

A group of young people appeared. Chu Hao and Li Yin were taken aback upon seeing them.

These were classmates from high school, and among them was Wang Qi, the former high school Little Tyrant.

There were also several others whose names Chu Hao could recall.

Wang Qi had bulked up considerably. He sported a buzz cut and, upon seeing Chu Hao, ran up excitedly, saying, "Brother Hao!"

A tall girl with a good figure and the aura of a minor celebrity approached Chu Hao.

Chu Hao was stunned. He looked closely at the tall, fair-skinned girl and asked in surprise, "Zhang Lili?"

Zhang Lili? She was the classmate who used to sit in front of me, the one whose homework I often copied. But back then, she wore glasses and was a very shy girl. Now she's transformed into a beautiful woman?

During high school, few girls knew how to dress up, but college was different. They say a girl undergoes many changes as she grows up, and all this had happened in less than a year.

Zhang Lili was a bit excited. She wanted to call out Chu Hao's name but, afraid of causing offense, she said carefully, "Chu Hao! No, I mean... Master Chu."

Chu Hao's current status and position were extraordinarily high. There were very few Fourteen Star Yin Yang Masters in the entire country; each was considered a national treasure. Moreover, videos of his battles were astounding, making him seem almost non-human.

There were other classmates too, thirteen in total, including Mu Yuxun.

Mu Yuxun had become even more beautiful, with a voluptuous figure and soft, fair skin. Her eyes, bright and limpid, seemed as if they could speak.

"Chu Hao," Mu Yuxun said with a smile.

Most of them are high school classmates, Chu Hao thought, but there are a few I don't recognize. They must be their friends or college mates.

Since graduation, everyone had gone their separate ways and rarely kept in touch.

Li Yin was a bit puzzled and asked, "Where are you all headed?"

Wang Qi, standing to the side, quickly said, "We're going to Tibet. Brother Hao, where are you guys going?"

Wang Qi, the former high school Little Tyrant, had always been unruly, and he remained so—except when confronting Chu Hao, who had taught him a harsh lesson.

They're going to Tibet as well, Chu Hao noted.

He then asked, "How come you're all together?"

Zhang Lili, whose transformation had been the most dramatic, stuck out her tongue. "Brother Hao, you never check the high school WeChat group."

It turned out that after the opportunity in the Tibet Holy City emerged, these former classmates, all being from Anli City, had decided to go to Tibet together so they could look out for one another.

Mu Yuxun said, "Chu Hao, my sister is going too. She set off with my father and is probably already in Tibet."

The allure of the Tibet Holy City is strong enough to drive ordinary people into a frenzy; even Mu Yufei was tempted, Chu Hao thought.

Mu Yuxun then asked, "Are you also headed to Tibet?"
