C1 The starting point of the heavenly master

The hot sun was shining down on his head, making Zhou Heng, who was sitting on the swing in the park, feel lazy. He held his forehead with his hand, barely resisting the sunlight.

Zhou Heng took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, on which was his temporary address in the Coastal City.

"Coastal City, 9 House Road, Tongguang District." Zhou Heng unfolded the paper slip and read the words on it.

"Can't you give me another map?" Zhou Heng frowned as he complained in his heart.

This temporary residence was rented from the Internet. Because of some rumors regarding ghosts, Zhou Heng spent a very small amount of rent to get it.

Actually, the park he was in wasn't far from the road. It was just that he wasn't sensitive to directions, so it was difficult for him to recognize the road.

Find someone to ask for directions.

Zhou Heng, who knew his own limits, couldn't believe his sense of direction. He walked around the lakeside in the park, looking for someone to ask for directions.

He saw a young girl squatting by the lake, seemingly observing his reflection in it.

"Hey!" Zhou Heng shouted from afar.

The girl by the lake did not respond.

"Hey!" Zhou Heng raised his voice.

The young girl was squatting by the lake, her head lowered as she faced the tranquil waters of the lake. She still didn't pay any attention to him.

Zhou Heng immediately walked over to the girl's side.

The young girl did not react to his arrival. She stared blankly at the calm surface of the lake, but there was no trace of her on the surface.

Zhou Heng also squatted down, and patted his shoulder, and whispered into her ear: "Hey, are you free? Ask for directions. "

The young lady then raised her head and turned to look at Zhou Heng, her face full of shock.

It couldn't be a mute!

The other party's silence made Zhou Heng feel somewhat awkward.

"You can see me?" The young girl spoke.

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes at the girl and asked her, "Do you think I look like I'm blind?"

"You can actually see me? Are you dead as well?" The girl asked Zhou Heng while carefully reaching her hand out to touch Zhou Heng's body.

Zhou Heng patted the back of the girl's hand and opened her hand. He didn't want to be touched by anyone, even by ghosts.

"You, you, you, you're really a ghost?" This was the first time she met a ghost other than herself, so even her words were a bit sloppy. If she encountered a living person, her hands would pierce through their bodies as if through a projection.

Zhou Heng shook his head: "I'm not a ghost, but I know how to catch ghosts."

"Are you here to capture me?" The girl asked him, her eyes filled with fear.

Zhou Heng said helplessly: "I already said I was here to ask for directions." Although the girl in front of him was a ghost, her soul was very pure and she could reincarnate anytime. Against such wandering souls, Zhou Heng would not gain anything.

"Let me ask you," Zhou Heng took out the slip of paper from his pocket and showed it to the girl, "Where do you want to go with the address on this?"

When the girl saw the address, she was stunned. Wasn't this the haunted house near the school? She pointed at the direction behind Zhou Heng: "Go all the way to that direction until you reach the Coastal University, then turn left and we'll reach the same road of light."

Damn, it's the exact opposite of what I expected. Zhou Heng cursed silently in his heart. Then he stood up and thanked the young girl who was still squatting on the ground. Then he said, "I'm leaving. Don't stay here in a daze. Hurry up and go reincarnate."

The girl also stood up. She said dejectedly, "I was killed by someone. I'm depressed. So I can only wander around the lake. I can't reincarnate."

"Is that so?" Zhou Heng's tone was a little surprised. Could it be that he misjudged her? If it was a ghost with a depressed heart, then there should be a quest reminder. Zhou Heng closed his eyes and entered into a meditative state.

A female voice sounded out in his ear, "Heavenly Mage System connected, please verify your identity."

Zhou Heng opened his eyes, and a burst of light flashed across the iris of the middle layer of his eyeball.

"Authentication successful, authority level E, Zhou Heng, welcome to the Heavenly Master System."

"Investigate the identity of the female ghost in front of my eyes." Zhou Heng said in his heart.

"Please wait, Heavenly Master."

"Little Brother, what are you doing?" The young girl was a little curious about Zhou Heng's actions, she was not able to hear the notification sound in Zhou Heng's ears.

"Nothing." Zhou Heng's left eye's pupil kept shrinking. Soon after, he saw the words "Shen Xinyi, three months ago, threw himself into the lake" on the face of the girl in front of him.

"You committed suicide." Zhou Heng frowned, he had directly exposed the girl's lie, he did not like ghosts lying to him, it would affect his work efficiency, "Don't try to lie to me, this is such a foolish thing."

"I'm not lying to you," the girl said in a tearful voice as she stomped her feet anxiously. "I was tainted by someone, and was abandoned by them. I fell into the lake to commit suicide because I couldn't think straight." Speaking of this, she recalled the past and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She was on the verge of tears.

"Ai, so that's how it is." Although his mouth was filled with regret and regret, Zhou Heng's expression was not the least bit moved. He often had ghosts to tell him stories about his past life at work, so he had no mood to listen to Shen Xinyi's words, "Don't think too much either. Go and reincarnate early and start a new life." He guided the girl in front of him proficiently.

"Little Brother, can … can you help me?" With great difficulty, Shen Xinyi finally met someone who could see him, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Ding — —" A melodious sound rang in Zhou Heng's ears.

"New quest triggered." The cold female voice rang out once more.

In Zhou Heng's left eye, there was no change to the label "Shen Xinyi, three months ago, jumped into the lake and committed suicide". Only, a new label had been added at the bottom of the label — "Wandering Soul, one point of merit".

"Just a little bit of merit." Zhou Heng curled his lips. Merit was the common currency in the Heavenly Master System. As the Heavenly Master Zhou Heng, as long as he completed the quest the system gave him, he would be able to earn merit.

"Little Brother, what do you mean by that?" Shen Xinyi did not understand the meaning behind Zhou Heng's words.

"Don't worry about it." After saying that, Zhou Heng closed his eyes once again.

"Accept the mission." He called out in his heart.

"Iris check complete.

Even if this matter had been recorded by the Heavenly Master System, Zhou Heng, who had completed his mission, opened his eyes once again and put on the face of an operator. He said: "Alright, I've decided to help you, tell me your story in detail." With just a little bit of merit, he was just 10 points away from becoming a D grade Heavenly Shi Master. That was why he did not want to miss out on such a small mission.

Shen Xinyi nodded gratefully. She had been dead for three months, and during those three months, her soul had been wandering around the lake. Anyone who passed by wouldn't notice her, and she couldn't affect anyone else, so she had to spend her days in solitude and panic. Today, someone had appeared who could see her, speak to her, and be willing to help her. This was the happiest thing that had happened in the past few days.

Shen Xinyi's story was very simple. The young girl who was fooled by the scum man was unable to think of anything good to do for a while. It had been more than three years since Zhou Heng entered the industry, and he had heard many similar stories in the past.

"So, you want me to help you find that scumbag called Yu Shuai," Zhou Heng quietly waited for Shen Xinyi to finish telling her story, then asked, "Then when I teach him a lesson, will you be able to resolve the knot in your heart?" All he cared about was how to complete the mission.

Shen Xinyi nodded heavily.

"It's nothing." The corner of Zhou Heng's mouth curled up, this mission was too simple. Although Zhou Heng's Heaven Teacher score was only E, and was still quite a distance away from the highest ranking one, to him, just dealing with an ordinary person, was still more than enough.

"Let's go." Zhou Heng said.

But Shen Xinyi shook her head: "I just died not too long ago, and it's daytime now. Besides the lake, I can't go anywhere else."

She continued, "Why don't we wait until night, then I'll be free to move." If someone could talk to her until evening, it would be a happy thing for her.

Zhou Heng frowned, he was not willing to stay here for too long. When possessing a body, it would often cause different degrees of damage to the host based on the strength of the spirit body and the length of time the body had been possessed. But Shen Xinyi had just become a ghost, and her body was far stronger than a normal person's, so there wouldn't be any harm.

"Can I?" Shen Xinyi asked carefully.

Zhou Heng nodded, as though he was getting impatient.

"Lil 'Bro, you, you …" Who are you! " Shen Xinyi could no longer hold back her curiosity as she asked softly.

"Heavenly Master," Zhou Heng said, "I'm the one who captures ghosts."
