Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 22 Part 4

She quickly made a shushing gesture to Ge Zixuan.

The two of them hid behind a thick concrete pillar and cautiously poked their heads out like two cowering quails.

They saw a figure hanging upside down. Its head turned 360 degrees, like a surveillance camera looking for a target.

Ge Zixuan’s face turned green from fear. He gestured to Bai Qiuye.

Bai Qiuye was very scared, but Ge Zixuan was swaying in front of her like a fence-sitter, making her feel annoyed.

Bai Qiuye raised her hand and pressed him against the pillar.

“Stop moving.”

Ge Zixuan: “…”

The head outside hung on the wall and observed for a long time before slowly retracting back.

Bai Qiuye let go of Ge Zixuan’s hand and leaned against the stone pillar, panting slightly.

Ge Zixuan’s face turned to the colour of a pig’s liver, and there was an unspeakable grievance in his voice. “If it weren’t for you, my place would still be very safe.”

Bai Qiuye: “Did you buy it or rent it?”

Ge Zixuan: “I don’t care.”

Bai Qiuye: “I don’t care if you care or not.”

Ge Zixuan stood up and was about to walk to the side.

Bai Qiuye: “Where are you going?”

Ge Zixuan: “Grow mushrooms.”

Bai Qiuye saw Ge Zixuan walk to the wall and squat down facing it.

Bai Qiuye: “… I still have 25 minutes. I’ll leave once I’m done with the mission.”

Ge Zixuan turned around. “Do you think the part-time job is so easy that you can complete it just by hiding here?”

Bai Qiuye: “Then what should we do?”

She couldn’t possibly charge forward and fight those ghosts to the death.

Ge Zixuan continued to turn his head and said, “Anyway, I have a feeling that it won’t be so peaceful—”

His words suddenly stopped. His eyes widened like copper bells, and his lips were slightly parted as he stared outside.

Bai Qiuye saw this and also turned around. She saw that the ghost head that had retracted earlier had fallen back down and was hanging in the air, staring at her.

The ghost said, “Found you.”

A line of words appeared on Bai Qiuye’s terminal.

[You were unfortunately caught by a ghost.]

Bai Qiuye: “…”

She stood up with a whoosh, reached into her pocket, and took out a bunch of talismans.

Ge Zixuan was dumbfounded. The audience watching Ge Zixuan’s camera also noticed Bai Qiuye’s actions.

[F*ck, she actually has so many defensive props?]

[Why do I feel that this scene is a little familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere before…]

The ghost clung to the ceiling and wanted to climb in upside down.

It didn’t expect Bai Qiuye to suddenly take out so many talismans, and it hesitated for a few seconds.

At this moment, Bai Qiuye’s flashlight had run out of power.

The entire hollow floor was plunged into darkness. Only the light reflected from the patio gave the ceiling a layer of coldness.

The ghost used this opportunity to quickly climb above Bai Qiuye’s head.

Bai Qiuye was shaking the flashlight when she suddenly felt something soft brush against her cheek. It silently wrapped around her wrist, and a damp smell filled her nose.

The moment the light came back on, Bai Qiuye raised her head to look up. She happened to see a pale, ghostly face.

Bai Qiuye couldn’t help but burst out with a beautiful word, “F*ck!”

She subconsciously waved her hand to shake off the hair. Suddenly, she heard a thump in the hollow floor.

The ghost that was hanging upside down above her had disappeared. Not far away, there was a shallow pit on the ground. The ghost was lying in the pit with its four legs facing the sky, and its face was filled with confusion.

Bai Qiuye stared at the ghost, and she was very surprised.

It’s too weak.

Her job advertisement hadn’t even been used yet, and the ghost was already sent flying.

It seemed that the ghost of this part-time job couldn’t compare to the quality of the ghost of the main job.

At this moment, the text on Bai Qiuye’s terminal updated.

[You’ve survived for 10 seconds after being caught by the ghost.]

[Now, you’ve obtained the identity of a “ghost.”]

[Only by catching all the ghosts involved in hide-and-seek can you become a human again.]

[Countdown to separation of soul and body: 15 minutes.]

Bai Qiuye looked at the ghost expressionlessly.

The ghost met her gaze and silently reached out a hand, hooked onto the outer wall of the house, and climbed up with a whoosh.

Oh no!

Someone is going to catch ghosts!
