She Can See Ghosts

Zheng Mingcui emerged from Mobao Square at half past nine in the morning.

It was Saturday, and there were no classes in the morning; she didn't have to worry about being late. However, at this moment, Zheng Mingcui no longer cared about such matters!

—She was rich now!

The Amulet she first practiced on had actually sold for one hundred thousand!

One hundred thousand yuan!

Zheng Mingcui now just wanted to slap herself from a year ago. If a single talisman could fetch one hundred thousand, why had she even bothered with a summer job? And what about the tutoring job the professor kindly arranged for her yesterday morning, was it still not too late to say she wouldn't do it?

However, considering the tutoring paid more than other students and the professor had recommended her out of sympathy for her difficulties, she decided to keep the job. It was always good to have a backup plan. What if talismans weren't so valuable in the future?

When she thought about the remaining eighty thousand yuan in her bank account, Zheng Mingcui felt as if her shoulder bag had gotten significantly heavier. She started to bloom with happiness, grinning like an idiot.

But the rush of excitement was momentary; she solemnly took out her phone to check her balance, which was indeed only eighty thousand yuan left. Money came and went quickly after all. Although drawing talismans could make money, the equipment for talisman drawing was equally expensive. Just a pen and five hundred sheets of talisman paper of varying quality, and twenty thousand yuan was gone just like that. She couldn't even earn that much money in a hard-fought summer. Spending that amount today, she felt the pinch upon reflection.

She sold a talisman, then bought more talisman paper and cinnabar, and also got the talisman pen she liked. Though the pen was made of bamboo, it contained Spiritual Energy and the treasure light was subdued; clearly, it was no ordinary object.

Unexpectedly, what she had thought would be expensive turned out to be the cheapest in the eyes of the shop owner, and she felt like she got a great deal.

However, black dog blood was still too expensive, just a gram and it seemed so light, hardly enough for a few strokes. Considering her tuition fees for the next semester, Zheng Mingcui decided, perhaps it's best to hold off for now.

Carrying the items, she walked on campus, and there was a shaded path behind the auditorium. With the weather so hot these days, Zheng Mingcui always purposely detoured here on her way back to the dormitory. Since the distance was about the same...

However, weren't the loving couple up ahead exactly who she had been scheming to get close to, Ling Ze and Zhang Lingyan?

Zhang Lingyan was overjoyed today.

Last time, Ling Ze had reluctantly agreed to accept her gift, although it was just a watch, the capricious girl said she didn't know!

In the past two days, she fervently bestowed gifts, from clothes to shoes, from socks to bow ties. If their relationship hadn't progressed to that point, she probably would have even given underwear... Each time, Ling Ze would reluctantly accept after much persuasion, but the one spending her money beamed with joy, unable to extricate herself.

Zhang Lingyan felt that every time she saw Ling Ze looking at her with a frown, indulgently yet reluctantly accepting the gift, while exuding an inherent haughtiness and having to lower his guard because of his affection for her... She could feel Ling Ze's overflowing love! She was even more infatuated!

Today was the main event!

She had called her father the day before, feigned poverty, and tricked him into giving her two hundred thousand yuan for pocket money. She had spent the whole last night at the mall, and finally, she had picked out a watch.

Though it wasn't a Patek Philippe, it was still fairly classy, barely worthy of him...

The pair were striking, perfectly matched. Just by looking at Ling Ze's physical appearance, you would never imagine he could be so cruel-hearted. Zheng Mingcui watched Zhang Lingyan stamping her feet and acting coquettishly, trying to give Ling Ze a gift. Suddenly, a plan formed in her mind; she quickly retreated to the corner, laid out the newly bought talisman paper on a box, and dipped her pen in ink—

Huh, where's the ink?

The ink isn't ready yet...

That's so frustrating!

Panicked, He Qing didn't know when the couple would leave, so in her urgency, she had no choice but to painfully bite her finger and directly draw on the Yellow Paper. The talisman was completed in one breath, without any hesitation.

She picked up the talisman, and the wound on her finger healed without medicine.

Taking advantage of the absence of people, He Qing pinched the talisman paper between her fingers and called out, "Zheng Mingcui!"

The talisman hidden in the wallet suddenly flew up, as if blown into the air by the wind, and amidst the blur, the ghost of Zheng Mingcui suddenly appeared and then without hesitation, plunged into the new talisman. He Qing grabbed back the Yellow Talisman, hurriedly packed up her things, tightened her backpack, and instructed, "This is the Gathering Yin and Inviting God Talisman. I will go and make contact with them and try to stick it onto something they are carrying. When the yin energy enters their body, their spirits will become unstable, which is the perfect opportunity for you to enter their dreams. Zheng Mingcui, remember, enter their dreams at 1 AM every day, try your best to make him talk, the deeper the thoughts he reveals, the more likely they are to be expressed in reality. As long as someone hears and starts to doubt, you will have your chance at revenge... This talisman can last a week, remember!"

The voice of Zheng Mingcui resounded decisively, "I will!"

He Qing hesitated no longer, she hugged the objects in her arms tightly and burst out from around the corner.

Fortunately, the couple was still walking arm in arm ahead.

He Qing gauged the distance, closed her eyes, and charged headlong towards them, catching the three of them off guard and causing a collision that scattered her bag on the ground.

Fortunately, they were both on the grass, and He Qing had chosen her spot well, charging with all her might. Thus, although the other two were surprised, they were not in pain or injured.

Seeing the two, He Qing squinted her eyes, which immediately reddened, and she apologized with a crying voice, "I'm sorry, so sorry!"

She frantically picked up her things from the ground, starting with her tightly buckled shoulder bag, then Zhang Lingyan's textbooks, and finally a Patek Philippe watch that had accidentally been flung from its box and dirtied.

Just as He Qing saw the watch, her movements quickened—she had planned to stick the talisman on Ling Ze's clothes, which would have been just as effective. But luck was on her side; such an expensive watch, as Zheng Mingcui had said, Ling Ze would surely carry it with him every day, making the entry of yin energy even smoother!

Thoughts raced through her mind, and her actions didn't stop, finally, she was about to touch the watch! In a flash, neither Ling Ze, who was busy dusting himself off, nor Zhang Lingyan noticed a small Yellow Talisman which she held in her palm, instantly slapped on top of the watch, and then vanished without trace.

"Whew..."

A chilling breeze swept over, Zhang Lingyan brushed the sudden goosebumps on her arms and, looking at the cleaned-up items, managed a smile at He Qing, "It's okay, just be more careful next time."

She quickly hugged Ling Ze's arm and didn't look back as they continued walking, "That breeze just now was so chilly..."

From behind, He Qing watched as Zhang Lingyan, while walking, fastened the Mobius loop on Ling Ze's watch—

Mobius, an infinite loop, never-ending.

So, what about the nightmare?
