Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 89 There's a Ghost

"What?!" Li Fei Hua Yue, who was usually devoid of emotion, surprisingly shouted this time, "You bought this place? What about my exorcism work?"

Just then, her terminal rang. It was the wealthy woman from earlier calling, presumably to request the exorcism job.

"But...but I already..." Before Li Fei Hua Yue could finish speaking, the other end hung up.

Li Feihua immediately looked dejected. "My job! If I don't work, how will I pay for my trip back?"

"No way, you're supposed to be a genius exorcist girl, how come you don't even have the money for the trip back?"

“Our Demon Extermination Temple is very poor. Thanks to you, the demon extermination mission was not very successful. The city lord only paid half the money, and I spent a lot of money to repair the holy armor, so we really have no money now.” Li Fei Hua Yue rarely showed a sad expression.

"Um, how much did she pay you to come here and exorcise the demon?"

Ten gold coins

"So expensive!"

"I'm a genius exorcist girl, after all; this price is already very cheap."

No wonder that imperial concubine sold the house to us for such a low price; it turns out we saved her ten gold coins!

"Alright then, we'll hire you to exorcise the demon, but I can only give you three gold coins. You know I'm very poor; I finally managed to earn some money, but I used it all to buy this house."

"No, no, three is too few, at least eight."

Those four

"Seven pieces, no less than that."

"5 pieces"

"Deal!" Li Fei Hua Yue stood up happily, picking up her large suitcase. "But you have to come inside with me."

"Huh? Why? I already paid you to do this."

"I gave you a discount too," she said, grabbing Di Xing's hand and pulling him inside. Di Xing was on the verge of tears; he'd been tricked! This was practically giving her five gold coins for free.

The others saw Di Xing being dragged away and quickly followed.

This building is called the Ghost Spring Pavilion, named for the elegant fountain at its center. But now, an eerie atmosphere hangs over the entire Ghost Spring Pavilion, with a cloud of black mist floating above, sending chills down one's spine.

Li Feihuayue cautiously pushed the door open, and it creaked open, revealing complete darkness inside. Di Xing fumbled for the light switch, and the lights came on. Di Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ruan Nuo and the others, who were following cautiously behind the two, slowly entered the hall.

I must say, this hall is truly enormous, and the decor is incredibly luxurious. If it weren't for the rumors of it being haunted, it would be impossible for it to only cost 35 gold coins.

Just as Di Xing was admiring the artwork, the lights suddenly went out. Having watched many horror movies, Di Xing had already guessed this would happen, so he wasn't too panicked. However, suddenly several screams came from all around, and then he was attacked from all directions, which frightened him so much that he also let out a piercing scream.

Just then, the lights came back on, and Di Xing could see clearly that the one who had attacked him was none other than Fei Lihua and her group, who were now holding him tightly.

No, how did you find me so accurately in the dark? And Fei Li Hua Yue, you're supposed to be an exorcist girl, why are you so scared?

"Well, when I exorcise demons, I usually face them head-on. I rarely encounter things like this that are just deliberately mysterious and scary," Li Feihua said apologetically, seeing Di Xing looking at her. It felt like her persona had crumbled.

"Anyway, everyone else except Li Feihuayue should leave first." Feeling they were more dangerous than ghosts, Nami nodded vigorously and rushed to the door, only to find it locked. Turning around in terror, she said, "The door...the door seems to be locked."

Just then, the lights went out again, and Di Xing, unsurprisingly, was struck once more.

Although these beautiful girls are all quite soft, no one could withstand such repeated impacts.

Then the lights came back on, and Di Xing hurriedly said, "Everyone, don't panic! Listen to me, all of you get to the stair railing, hold onto your companions with one hand and the handrail with the other, and don't move even when the lights go out."

Everyone nodded, but then Lunya exclaimed in surprise, "Nami is gone!"

"What?!" Di Xing looked around and indeed found that Nami was gone.

"W-what happened? Did a ghost take her away?" Ai Xiao asked in a panic.

"Don't panic. Li Fei, Hua Yue, and I will go find her. You all stay here as I just said and don't move."

"Me...me?"

"You're supposed to be an exorcist girl, and I even paid for your services," Di Xing retorted.

So, Li Fei Hua Yue reluctantly set off with Di Xing. The two hadn't walked far along the corridor when they saw a beautiful figure in a blue and white dress at the end of the corridor.

Di Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "Na Mi, why are you running around like that?"

Di Xing ran over quickly and patted the figure on the back, only to find that the figure's exposed arms were made of wood with ball joints.

"This is?"

Before Di Xing could even utter a sound, everything went black, and he couldn't see anything. "What happened!?"

Di Xing frantically groped around, finally managing to touch the wall. He then discovered that a black energy curtain seemed to be covering him. Fortunately, he could feel the curtain, and he struggled to pull it off. A terrifying ghost face with a purple tongue and a missing eye appeared before him.

"Ah!" He screamed in fright, turned and ran, not caring where Li Fei and Hua Yue had gone, just running for his life. Finally, he reached the hall, only to find that everyone there had vanished.

"Didn't we tell them to wait here?"

Di Xing was furious. Just then, the lights went out again, and lightning began to strike outside. This was almost impossible in the scrap metal area, which was mostly shrouded by the upper floors, but it happened. In the light of the lightning, Di Xing saw a monster covered in bandages slowly walking towards him from the second floor.

"Ah!" Di Xing was so frightened that he turned and ran away. This place really is haunted!

He hadn't run far when he felt himself bump into something furry. The thing turned around, and then another flash of lightning illuminated its face—it was a wolf's head.

The werewolf let out a terrifying howl at Di Xing, scaring him so much that he turned and ran away again. But as soon as he turned his head, he saw a huge monster with screws stuck in its head walking towards him in the flickering light.

In the face of immense crisis, Di Xing unleashed his primal power, charged towards the monster, then rolled past it on the ground before taking off running.
