Chapter 251: Chapter 171 Playing Monster Hunter

A moment later.

Zhou Yuan restarted the livestream.

"Kids, I’m back.

There was a bit of a broadcast accident just now, we went offline for a moment, but it’s not a big deal, let’s continue with the ghost hunting."

Many people noticed that Zhou Yuan’s tone was a bit off and quickly typed messages of concern:

"I heard a woman’s voice just now, the host isn’t possessed by a female ghost, is he?"

"Possession! The host must have been possessed!"

"I’ve seen similar anomalies, called [ghost possession], where a fierce ghost borrows a living person’s body to re-enter the human world, lie low and cultivate, and when it becomes powerful, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"Quick, go invite the Buddha from the West!"

"Just clicked in by accident, bad luck go away..."

"Five-star exorcism, light shines on Xuan Ming. Thousand gods and saints, protect my true spirit. Colossal beasts of the sky, subdue the five soldiers. Five heavenly demons, die in obliteration. Wherever they are, all gods welcome them. Hurry as an order!"

Zhou Yuan had no mind to pay attention to the chat, he walked upstairs while his mind was in turmoil, filled with countless thoughts.

He never expected that Chen Guangxi would directly come over for a confrontation.

Not to mention him, even the audience was startled.

After all, it was so sudden.

But it did fit well with Chen Guangxi’s straightforward personality, also showing that their relationship was very good. If they were just acquaintances, how could she come all the way here for a confrontation?

And from the looks of Chen Guangxi, she had been waiting for Zhou Yuan’s message for hours. As long as he dared to say it, she would agree.

But in the end, what she got was Zhou Yuan avoiding her.

Probably because of this, Chen Guangxi came directly to clear things up, preventing Zhou Yuan from continuing to avoid her, which would lead to their relationship slowly drifting apart.

Thinking about the missed opportunity that he had ruined, Zhou Yuan felt a strong sense of regret and banged his head against the wall with a thud.

If he had mustered up the courage to go for it, they would definitely be together by now. But he chose to be cowardly, becoming just like a battle-averse lizard...

How could a weak man earn the recognition of a dragon?

Thud, thud, thud, Zhou Yuan continuously banged his head against the wall. Although there was still a chance, the feeling of failure indeed was frustrating and regretful.

"It’s over, the host is banging his head against the wall, he’s gone mad!"

"Not scary at all, I’m snuggling under my blanket and I don’t feel the terror."

"Should we call the police?"

"Don’t rush, it’s definitely for the show. The host is very strong, no way he’d get seriously hurt by a little ghost."

"The acting is mediocre, feels a bit rigid."

The number of messages in the live chat exploded, this sudden eerie behavior amplified the supernatural and terrifying atmosphere, making people withdraw their feet placed outside the blanket.

After banging his head for quite a while, Zhou Yuan finally stopped, and the whole building seemed to shake slightly under the impact.

Such commotion naturally attracted the last wandering fierce ghost.

At the end of the corridor, a bald, middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt staggered over.

Zhou Yuan shook his head, throwing all the chaotic thoughts aside, and looked at the prompt from the Eyes of Identification:

[A 35-year-old programmer, who had just had a second child before his death. Seeing this, his boss assumed he wouldn’t dare to resign and loaded him with all sorts of dirty and exhausting tasks. Eventually, he died from overwork. After his death, the company was immediately disbanded, and the boss fled without giving his family any compensation.]

A surge of anger rose in Zhou Yuan’s heart, the soul of a former worker burned brightly; for such black-hearted capitalists, a heavy blow was necessary!

He snapped a picture of the programmer ghost’s face and sent it to Gu Chacha, asking her to check the person’s information.

"Family, here I want to teach everyone another way to exorcise ghosts."

Zhou Yuan said, "Fierce ghosts form because of various obsessions before death, so if you can help them resolve these obsessions, you can free them.

Of course, this method depends on the ghost. For highly aggressive ghosts, this method is obviously not suitable, and for ghosts that have regained self-awareness, it is also unsuitable.

But for a ghost like the one before us, slow-moving, not very aggressive, and without regained self-awareness, it is the best choice."

"I am using resources to find out his real identity, because only by knowing the ghost’s past, can we better judge what obsessions it had before death."

Zhou Yuan paused for a dozen seconds, then told the cause of the programmer’s death, immediately stirring anger among the live chat audience.

Gu Chacha soon found out the programmer’s true identity, the company he used to work for, as well as his boss and the boss’s personal information.

Currently, the company boss had long fled to the America Continent and was living a leisurely life, while his direct superior had joined a major tech company. Within the company, his reputation was terrible, being repeatedly complained about, but due to "connections," his position was very secure.

These two were both dirty, indulging in all vices, and with the past employee’s sudden death, it was enough for them to face severe punishment—in cases involving anomalies, perpetrators were always heavily penalized.

Gu Chacha immediately contacted the Control Bureau and reported the matter.

After Zhou Yuan got the news, he spoke to the programmer ghost: "Brother, I’ve helped you with your issue. The superior who gave you excessive workload and the boss who escaped without compensation will soon be imprisoned. At that time, a large sum of money will be compensated to your family, enough to ensure they live comfortably."

The programmer ghost’s steps faltered upon hearing this. His weary and bloodshot eyes gazed deeply at Zhou Yuan, and after a long while, he nodded slightly, his figure gradually becoming ethereal and eventually completely vanishing.
