Chapter 44 (1/2)

“Current Affection Levels:

“Qin Guoheng (Lingering Spirit): Unfamiliar (You two can’t be considered friends; he was helping you out of kindness)

“Du Ruoshui (Lingering Spirit): Unfamiliar

“Qin Munan (Lingering Spirit): Unfamiliar

“Qin Xiaoxiao (Baleful Specter): Slightly Favorable Opinion (You’ve managed to attract her attention. To her, you are slightly closer than a stranger)

“Zhang Ya (Red Specter): Crazy About You (You are a unique presence to her; she likes you, but only after you’re dead)

“To increase the affection level, you could expose them to the screams of visitors that are wealthy with negative feelings, gift them presents that contain Malice Points, or complete their Bloody Heart Mission.

“When the affection level reaches a certain point, they will selectively listen to your orders.

“Warning: Only specters with deep malice and a dark history will be able to provide you with a Bloody Heart Mission. Completing the mission will greatly increase the affection level and will give you the power to get them to help you complete something that isn’t against their will!”

The new feature gave Chen Ge a deeper understanding of his ‘friends’. He removed the smallest doll from his pocket. This doll did not look that much different from the other dolls, at least physically, but the phone app had set her apart. She was the sole baleful specter among the family of lingering spirits.

Something like you can be considered a baleful spirit?

Chen Ge poked Xiaoxiao’s cheek with his finger. Xiaoxiao, who was raised into the air, seemed to be a bit angry; she gave Chen Ge the impression of a little kitten who hadn’t been weaned from milk, gnashing her teeth in a show of aggression!

I suppose this is an accidental discovery.

If Qin Xiaoxiao was the kind and gentle presence among the baleful specter, then Zhang Ya was the complete opposite. In fact, this was the first time Chen Ge had come across the term ‘Red Specter’.

What exactly is the difference between a normal Baleful Specter and a Red Specter?

Chen Ge tried to click on Zhang Ya’s name, and the screen changed to reveal a blood-red interface.

“Are you sure you want to accept Zhang Ya’s Bloody Heart Mission? Warning! This mission contains a certain level of danger!”

The blood red interface caused cold sweat to appear all over Chen Ge’s forehead. But the phone says only specters with exceptionally deep malice and a dark history will be able to provide me with a Bloody Heart Mission. Am I that lucky? To be able to win such a ‘prize’ from my first draw?

Actually, that was not the end of Chen Ge’s thoughts on the matter. He thought to himself, If that’s the case, I’d rather give up on such luck!

However, afraid of how Zhang Ya might have reacted if she heard it, he kept it to himself.

Crazy about me, but only after I’m dead? If that’s not twisted, I don’t know what is!

After exiting the app, the fear brought on by the mirror monster had completely disappeared. Compared to the ‘prize’ he had gotten from the Wheel of Misfortune, the shadow inside the mirror was nothing. However, this did not mean that Chen Ge would let it go. In contrast, Chen Ge had made it a threat that had to be removed no matter what. Only by removing it would the Haunted House be safe.

Unlocking ‘My Friends from the Other Side’ provided Chen Ge with more options. From how he saw it, this feature was to set up the foundation for the Haunted House’s spectral workers. As more features of the game got released, Chen Ge’s interest in it increased.

After gaining an understanding of the new feature, Chen Ge turned to inspect his second reward—Yin Yang Vision.
