Chapter 337: Chapter 232: Three Summaries

Li Yi had not expected that the woman before him would actually know some information about Ghost Tamers, which was very important to him. As a Cross-border who had recently arrived and unfamiliar with the area, especially after their captain Zhang Xun had been killed by a fierce ghost, he desperately needed to understand information regarding fierce ghosts and Ghost Tamers.

Otherwise, not to mention exploring this world, even surviving safely was a question.

Zheng Yaoyao looked at Li Yi with a somewhat fearful expression and replied, "I don’t know much, just some things I’ve heard from my colleagues, and I don’t know if they’re true or false. I want to say upfront, if it’s false, don’t blame me for deceiving you."

"I’ll discern the truth from the falsehood, you just go ahead and talk," said Li Yi.

"My colleague said that Ghost Tamers are specifically for dealing with fierce ghosts. Now there are some places in the city where ghosts are causing disturbances, where supernatural events occur, and some places even had many people die. Only the Ghost Tamers can resolve these issues," said Zheng Yaoyao.

Li Yi furrowed his brow, "What else?"

This information was indeed very one-sided, lacking any key points, and truly seemed like the pitiful gleanings of an outsider.

However, it was still very useful to him.

Ghosts causing disturbances, supernatural events?

It seemed that it wasn’t just in this city where similar things happened, but other cities as well.

So, was this a world haunted by ghosts?

And with the existence of ghosts, there were also people who confronted them, hence were the cultivators of this world known as Ghost Tamers?

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Yaoyao added, "Right, my colleague also said that normal people are in great danger when encountering ghosts, and could easily die. If you want to survive, you must remember three points."

"Which three points?" Li Yi continued to ask.

"Ghosts cannot be killed."

"Only ghosts can confront ghosts."

"Discern the patterns of the ghosts."

Zheng Yaoyao immediately conveyed these three points, which she remembered very clearly, as she always thought that one day they might be needed. After all, these matters were related to her own safety; it was always right to be a bit more prudent.

"Ghosts cannot be killed, only ghosts can confront ghosts? Discern the patterns of the ghosts?" Li Yi’s gaze flickered slightly, these three summaries must have been the experience concluded by those so-called Ghost Tamers internally; and combined with the encounter with the old costume earlier, the first piece of information was likely true.

The ghosts of this world were indeed special. Not to mention him, an Evolver of the Refining Realm, even the Soul Realm powerhouse Zhang Xun died at the hands of that old costume.

Even the strength of a Soul Realm powerhouse was ineffective against a ghost.

This showed that the ghosts of this world were indeed unkillable, at least for Li Yi and his contemporaries with their current strength.

"Because ghosts cannot be killed, to deal with them would require having the same level of power. Hence the second point, that only a ghost can confront a ghost..." Li Yi was not stupid and immediately understood the meaning of these phrases.

Just as in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, only Martial Artists of the Refining Realm could fight those in the same realm.

Without power of the same level, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications to engage in combat.

It was just that third sentence that Li Yi still found somewhat incomprehensible.

Discern the patterns of the ghosts?

What patterns did ghosts have?

Nevertheless, Li Yi still memorized these three sentences, knowing that once he had enough information, he would be able to fully understand them.

"Besides these three points, do you know anything else?" Li Yi continued to probe, trying to get more intelligence.

But Zheng Yaoyao, being an ordinary person, only knew this much. She shook her head to indicate that she had no more information.

"It looks like I’ll need to find a Ghost Tamer to contact if I want more information, but contacting a Ghost Tamer is a very dangerous matter. If they can deal with fierce ghosts, it means they possess power on the same level as fierce ghosts, and contacting such a person could easily result in being killed," he concluded.

Li Yi was rather relieved in retrospect that the Dazhuang City official named Wang Qiao hadn’t taken any action against him; otherwise, he would certainly be dead.

"Thank you for your information. You keep this Golden Nutrient Liquid and drink it slowly. It’s good for the body and you can’t buy it here at all; it’s a rare commodity." Li Yi did not have any more money to give her, so he left a vial of Golden Nutrient Liquid as a reward.

Ordinary people could consume this substance, and consuming it would strengthen the body and prolong life.

Furthermore, he was not worried about the exposure of the Golden Nutrient Liquid because only their world could produce it. This world could not, since there were no Fierce Beasts, no Extraordinary Creatures, and a lack of the raw materials for Golden Nutrient Liquid.

Zheng Yaoyao looked at the golden vial, not knowing what it was but feeling that it looked rather valuable. She was deciding whether to accept or reject it when suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a fat rat scurrying quickly through a corner of the living room, which scared her into jumping up from the ground.

"A-a rat."

She exclaimed in a frightened voice, clearly terrified of the creature.

Li Yi glanced at the rat, releasing his presence, and the rat instantly began trembling in place, scared stiff like it had seen a cat.

Then there was a flash in his eyes.

The next moment.

The plump rat squeaked and sprang into the air before crashing to the ground, motionless.

"It’s dead," Li Yi said.

"Dead, dead?" Zheng Yaoyao’s eyes widened in shock. "How did it die? Did you kill it? How did you do that without even touching the rat?"

She was amazed because everything before her was beyond her comprehension.

This was the first time in her life that she had witnessed something so contrary to common sense that if she hadn’t experienced it herself, she would have thought she was dreaming.

Li Yi calmly said, "Gaze of the divine eyes, capable of slaying with a look. This is the Eye-witness Skill. It’s nothing special, effective against beings weaker than myself but useless against the stronger ones. Forget it, you’re just an ordinary person, you won’t come across these things in the future, so there’s no point telling you."

"I’m leaving. Just pretend you never saw me today."

He wasn’t worried about this woman spreading the word; without evidence, others would only think she was crazy.

"Wait, could it be that you’re a time traveler, not from this world at all?" Suddenly, Zheng Yaoyao bravely blurted out such a sentence.

"Hmm?"

Li Yi looked at her again, his pupils turning vertical and glowing brightly.

But considering she was just an ordinary person, Li Yi soon laughed and asked, "What makes you think I’m not from this world?"

"Just guessing," Zheng Yaoyao blinked and said, "I’ve never seen anyone in a Flying Fish Robe scaling walls like a martial arts expert in the dead of night, and you’re inquiring about Ghost Tamers. I’ve never even heard of this Eye-witness Skill you mentioned... and that bottle of nutrient liquid you pulled out, I’ve never seen that either."

"I’m not stupid; with so much evidence before me, I can guess some things. After all, in this world where ghosts and supernatural events exist, what else couldn’t possibly happen?"

"You’re smart, but you should know that smart people often don’t live long. Sometimes playing the fool is necessary," Li Yi said. "Killing you would be no different from killing a chick."

As he spoke, he was also self-reflective.

It seemed he hadn’t integrated into this world deeply enough; the mere inadvertent exposure of his abilities had led to someone guessing he wasn’t from this world.

"You can rest assured, no one will believe these words of mine, so there’s no need for you to silence me," Zheng Yaoyao said. "Besides, I know you’re a good person. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already instead of choosing to break my phone and compensate me."

"So, what’s the point of saying all this?" Li Yi looked at her. "Even if you guessed that I’m not from this world, what can you do?"

Zheng Yaoyao got a bit excited, not expecting to have guessed right; the man in front of her really wasn’t from this world. Indeed, all those years of reading novels and watching TV series weren’t for nothing.

With that thought, she hurriedly said, "I can help you."

"Help me? With what?"

Li Yi eyed her, "A normal person is lucky just to survive in this city where supernatural events exist. It’s best not to get involved in certain matters; otherwise, it only brings death to oneself."

He was both warning and advising her.

"I, I could..." Zheng Yaoyao wanted to say something, but upon thinking, she realized she really couldn’t be of any help to this person.

Yet she didn’t want to miss this chance. It was not easy to come into contact with someone from another world; just the thought was thrilling. If she missed out, she’d regret it for the rest of her life.

"I can give you money. You must need money right now and have nowhere to live. You can stay at my place, and I can also find out more information about Ghost Tamers from my colleagues later... Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret. I won’t say a word, I swear," Zheng Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she raised her hand.

"Earth Prisoners are born evil; swearing is as worthless as a fart," Li Yi said.

Zheng Yaoyao immediately felt a bit embarrassed, "That is true... you seem to understand Earth people quite well. Where are you from?"

"That’s a secret," Li Yi said calmly.

He certainly couldn’t say he was also from Earth.

Two Earths?

Or is it that this place is Earth, and the world he came from is, as Sword Coin said, inherently evil like the Earth Prison?

Or perhaps this is a parallel world?

Li Yi himself didn’t understand, only knowing that this world was referred to as World Number 36 back where he came from.

"Alright, I won’t ask anymore. So, have we temporarily reached cooperation?" Zheng Yaoyao was smiling again.

"I need a phone, a bank card, and a few sets of clothes that fit me," Li Yi said unreservedly.

Zheng Yaoyao immediately patted her chest and said, "No problem. I’ll get those for you. By the way, I still don’t know your name. My name is Zheng Yaoyao; I just graduated from university last year and am currently working at a company nearby. This is the place I rent."

"I’m called Li Yi."

After some thought, Li Yi decided to stay here for a few days to better integrate into this world.

Being known by one person was always better than being exposed to many.

After all, Zheng Yaoyao was an ordinary person, easy to control, no threat, and even knowing he wasn’t from this world wouldn’t make much difference. If Ghost Tamers found out, that would be dangerous, and not every Ghost Tamer would let him off like Wang Qiao did. If he encountered some extremists, Li Yi would certainly be doomed.
