The door opened.
Two figures quickly rushed in.
One was a Young man, clearly about the same age as Chu Qing, wearing glasses, looking refined.
The other was a woman of about thirty, dressed in a silk nightgown.
“Chu Qing!”
Just as they were about to shout, they heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Then, Chu Qing slowly walked out, his handsome face covered in water marks, looking suspiciously at the two aggressive people:
“Fang Ping? What’s wrong with you two? Why the hurry?”
At this moment, Chu Qing was no different from usual.
His black and white eyes, filled with surprise and confusion, seemed not to understand what the two intruders intended to do.
“Damn it! You’re asking us what we’re doing? You didn’t answer your phone, and you didn’t respond after I knocked for so long. I thought you were still thinking about that An Ruoxue and were going to do something stupid.”
An Ruoxue?
Chu Qing blinked, thought for over ten seconds, and then remembered who that was.
He smiled: “I had a bit to drink, didn’t hear it. My apologies.”
As soon as he said this, Fang Ping, standing before him, was even more stunned:
“You’re definitely not right! How long has it been since I heard you say ‘my apologies’ to me? Are you really sick?”
Chu Qing ignored him and looked at Su Suyun, his landlady, beside him:
“Sister Yun, I’m sorry, I made you come all this way.”
Su Suyun shook her head:
“Chu Qing, are you really okay?”
“I’m really fine.”
“Alright, then I’ll go. Fang Ping said you have an interview today! Good luck!”
Su Suyun made a fist gesture.
“Thank you, I’ll see you out!”
Chu Qing wiped his face and led Su Suyun to the door. He looked at this gentle and beautiful landlady, who was at such a charming and alluring age, his gaze remaining calm.
Su Suyun, her identity and background unknown, was only known to be a wealthy woman.
However, in his previous life, at the beginning of the terrifying resurgence and the arrival of the death game, this wealthy landlady died in her room.
Not only Su Suyun, but all the women in the entire building, and even the entire community later on, died unnatural deaths, and their death scenes were extremely horrifying and terrifying.
It was rumored that someone once saw a strange girl in red on the balcony of the sixteenth floor where Su Suyun lived.
That red dress seemed to be made of blood and human skin.
Later, it was heard that when Blood-Eyed Dragon Lord was promoted to second rank, he held a grand concubine selection in Luo City, which had already turned into a ghost city. Among those selected, it was said there was the Red-Clad Abnormality of Happiness Garden.
And it was clear that, according to normal development, the skin of this beautiful young woman would soon become part of that red-clothed girl’s red dress.
Thinking of this, a look of interest suddenly flashed in Chu Qing’s eyes. He thought for a moment and said:
“Sister Yun, if anything unusual happens in the community, you can call me.”
His face was calm, but his words were incredibly serious, causing Su Suyun to pause slightly, then she suspiciously said:
“Unusual situation? What kind of unusual situation could there be? Chu Qing, are you like those glib young men online who don’t want to work hard anymore?
Haha, boys still need to have their own careers! However, I’ve noted your good intentions, but rent will be due next month.”
Chu Qing’s expression didn’t change; he still calmly said:
“Okay.”
Su Suyun and he were mere acquaintances; whether she lived or died had little to do with him, so he let it be.
More importantly, Chu Qing was very interested in the Red-Clad Abnormality, who would later become the Blood-Eyed Dragon Lord’s ‘concubine’. Perhaps by relying on Su Suyun, he could attract that initial Red-Clad Ghost Girl.
When she was weak, he could take her down more easily.
Moreover, if possible, Chu Qing still hoped to retain some of his ‘humanity’ as a human. Besides, even in his previous life, he hadn’t completely lost all humanity like many other Ghost Controllers.
At that time, he had contact with the existence who had already been promoted to first-rank Yin Job, ‘Revolving King’, in Dragon Nation.
That Revolving King once told him:
The process of a Ghost Controller controlling ghosts is not only a struggle with ghosts, but also a struggle with oneself.
It is a struggle against the madness in one’s heart, against one’s own stubbornness, and against the coldness of human nature.
The most important thing for a Ghost Controller is to know that they are human, to always remember that they are human, not ghosts.
Otherwise, the Yin Job would become a means of turning humans into ghosts.
A King,
The reason for being a King!
Is to be able to control everything! Not just evil ghosts, but also oneself!
King Chujiang Chu Qing will always be a human controlling evil ghosts, not evil ghosts controlling humans.
Chu Qing was very clear about this.
However, clear as he was, another thing on him that hadn’t been completely controlled yet was clearly dissatisfied with the young woman’s tone and words.
Or rather, from Chu Qing’s memories, it was clear what kind of being this Blood-Eyed Dragon Lord essentially was.
Instantly, Chu Qing’s black and white eyes, completely out of control at this moment, suddenly turned blood red.
Within the pitch-black eye sockets, only a blood-red vertical pupil suddenly appeared, instantly locking onto Su Suyun.
Su Suyun, who was about to turn around with a smile, instantly became incredibly stiff. The blood flow throughout her body uncontrollably rushed towards her brain, and her black and white eyes instantly became bloodshot.
Her heart was beating rapidly, as if it was about to explode.
Almost in the next second, she would die from bleeding from all seven orifices.
However, in just an instant, those terrifying blood-red vertical pupils vanished without a trace.
Su Suyun’s uncontrollable heartbeat also slowly calmed down.
Su Suyun looked ahead somewhat bewildered.
The Young man in front of her still had a slight smile on his lips, and his smiling eyes were particularly gentle.
It was as if her slightly reproving words earlier had not affected the Young man in the slightest.
At this moment, Su Suyun only felt an indescribable dizziness in her brain as blood flowed through her body, causing her to instinctively lean against the wall beside her.
Chu Qing reached out and held Su Suyun’s shoulder without overstepping his bounds:
“Sister Yun, are you alright?”
Su Suyun then came back to her senses and quickly stood firm. She continued to look at Chu Qing blankly. She seemed to have just seen the Young man’s pupils turn into…
Was it an illusion? Could it be because she had eaten too little while dieting these past few days?
Soon, Su Suyun shook her head and stood up straight again:
“I’m sorry, I might have low blood sugar. Chu Qing, don’t take what I said just now to heart! If you need any help, you can also find me. I… I’ll go now.”
Watching Su Suyun, who was pale but didn’t know what had happened and could only leave quickly, Chu Qing didn’t feel much joy in disturbing the wealthy woman’s heart. Instead, he frowned slightly and calmly covered one of his eyes, silently saying:
“This is the first time, and I hope it’s the last. If it gets out of control, I can dig out my own eyes with my own hands, let alone yours.
Moreover, don’t forget, it’s because of me that you can have some intelligence.”
Instantly, the black and white eyeball turned crimson again, then quickly shifted between black, white, and crimson.
It seemed extremely dissatisfied with Chu Qing’s attitude and wanted to break free, but it could not escape the prison of this body.
It struggled for over ten seconds,
Finally, it returned to calm.
At the same time, Fang Ping, who had long been impatiently waiting in the room, came out and glanced at Chu Qing, who was still standing there, seemingly in a daze:
“Qingzi, stop reminiscing. Sister Yun is not from our world. Are you still going to the Tianyu Entertainment interview or not?”
Tianyu Entertainment is a somewhat famous entertainment company in Luo City, with a gaming industry under its jurisdiction.
Chu Qing and Fang Ping were both art students, specializing in fine arts, from a local university in Luo City.
The employment environment for art majors, especially fine arts majors, in this era, graduation was almost equivalent to unemployment.
Being able to find such an internship opportunity was quite difficult.
However, Chu Qing turned around:
“You go by yourself, I’ve already found a job.”
“What? When did that happen?”
Fang Ping’s eyes widened.
“Just now.”
“What kind of job?”
Chu Qing went to the door, picked up the recruitment section of the Luo City Morning Post that had been delivered that morning, and pointed to a tiny recruitment ad on it:
‘North Mountain Cemetery is hiring a gate security guard, with room and board provided! Monthly salary 6000 + five insurances and one housing fund + meal allowance. Easy work content, relatively flexible working hours! Preference given to those who are bold and not afraid of feudal superstitions!!!’
