章 51: Hey, do you remember me? My name is Yuka…

This inquiry had resulted in the turning of heads of three people. Wu Ya, Feng Ye, and Chu Feng all turn to look behind them. To Wu Ya and Feng Ye, they only see a well dressed girl with glasses. She seemed to be of Japanese descent. However, Feng Ye and Wu Ya had never seen her before.

Feng Ye thought to himself, "Stalker much?" This girl's actions seem weirdly stalker like.

Chu Feng, however, was immediately able to recognize who this was. It was the bookworm girl he had helped earlier today. What an odd coincidence.

The girl smiles at Chu Feng and inquiries shyly, "Hey, do you remember me? My name is Yuka…"

"What a coincidence! Are you alright?" Chu Feng replies and follows up with an inquiry as he too feels it is odd to suddenly meet up her again so quickly. Definitely up to no good!

While replying, Chu Feng takes a look around Yuka who is in front of him to see if there are any peculiarities. His Yin Yang eyes didn't seem to detect anything out of the norm. However, naturally, he is a beginner with this new found ability and it truly cannot amount to much in these initial stages. Thus, Chu Feng realizes that he needs to truly spend more time to uncover the mystery behind his ability.

"I'm alright..earlier this afternoon. Thanks.." Yuka replies.

"Yea, don't worry about it." Chu Feng waves nonchalantly with his hand.

At this time, Yuka takes out a mobile phone. Wu Ya, Feng Ye, and Chu Feng instantaneously realized that this was Chu Feng's.

"You dropped this earlier today. Here you go.." Yuka hands over Chu Feng's phone. Receiving it, Chu Feng felt that the phone's back was a little bit wet...

Trying his best to resist the urge to check what is up with this moist, wet feeling on the back of his phone, Chu Feng gives his thanks.

"Thanks. Really appreciate it." Chu Feng squeezes out a smiling face.

"Un..Don't worry about it… Un.. I need to go. See you later!" Yuka replies. With a quick nod, Yuka excuses herself and walks away.

As Yuka's form goes out of sight, Chu Feng flips his phone over. A wet layer had covered the back of his phone…

"Really disgusting.. Dafuq." he exclaims.

Feng Ye nearby takes a look, "It looks like your phone had been slightly tampered with as you see here." Feng Ye refers with his finger to the edge of the phone where one would usually open to replace the battery.

"Not too sure, as it was super chaotic, so also might have been damaged from the wild escape from the crazy." Chu Feng replied after a brief hesitation.

"Regardless, you should probably go disinfect your phone and wash your hands.." Wu Ya also comments.

"Yea.. for sure. Do you think this is what I think it is?" Chu Feng inquiries Wu Ya.

Wu Ya knits her brows. "Most likely it is what you think it is. However, that is super strange, you don't look that handsome.. Definitely not a lady killer appearance.."

Feng Ye smiles nearby. Chu Feng bitterly smiles.

"In any case, perhaps I have a stalker now…" Chu Feng shakes his head.

"Do I report it?" He asks Feng Ye.

"Probably not worth reporting right now, until can get more conclusive evidence." Feng Ye replies while glancing over at Wu Ya.

Wu Ya nods indicating her agreement with Feng Ye.

"Anyways, let's head over to this nearby convenience store. You can try to disinfect and maybe grab a plastic bag to wrap that phone for now." Wu Ya suggests.

"Alright, let's go."

The group head to the nearby convenience store. Running to the washroom, Chu Feng immediately uses half the soap in the original full soap dispenser and washes his hands for a good 10 minutes. Before doing so, he had taken apart the back of his phone and began washing furiously. Luckily, his phone had a phone case, thus, all he had to do was take off the phone case and wash that.

He also went to buy some rubbing alcohol and disinfectant and was busy washing everything thoroughly.

Sighing, Chu Feng really laments on his bad luck. However, at least he was able to acquire his phone.

***

A few hundred metres away, Yuka who the group had just met shows a frantic expression. A smile creeps up on her face as though a plot had prevailed. She takes out her phone and opens a navigation application. On the screen, a map of the entire city is shown. On this map, a single red dot can be found in a corner of a convenience store.

Seeing this red dot move back and forth in the convenience store, Yuka giggles.

"Ah.. Chu Feng…" Yuka exclaims quietly with an excited expression.

***

After a good 20 minutes at the convenience store in which Chu Feng had thoroughly washed his assets, the trio continue to be on their way back to Aven Towers.

章 52: Uh. There’s a ghost..right behind you...like right there..

After that short interlude with Yuka, the three are on their way back. At this time, it is rather late, thus less people are seen on the streets. In the city, the nightlife is quite lively, however, as the three walk continue they pass by a quieter area. Less people are wandering around, it seems that this area is one of the more desolate places. This area is known to be much more quiet and around this time it feels rather eerie. The reason is due to the massive construction around here.

Feng Ye recalls, "This area is quite close to the area where Akimichi had fought bravely. Due to all the construction at night it really is rather lonely here. Though, as it is getting late, it will be best to cut through here."

Wu Ya and Chu Feng nod in agreement. "Right, we should head back as fast as possible before it gets super late."

As the three wander through the quiet streets with large areas of construction on each side, unknowingly, the street lights slowly dim.

As they continue on route to Aven Towers, Shira suddenly prompts Feng Ye. "The yin energy around here seems to be quite thick. Might want to be cautious."

Feng Ye after hearing this prompt looks around and surveys the surroundings. He realizes that the street lights and fluorescent lights which had originally lit up the entire area seemed to have dimmed. A chill in the air seemed to exist.

Strangely, the weather was very nice today with no wind. No signs of wind or even a breeze anywhere yet this chill continues to be felt. The chilliness in the air is a rather odd sensation as it continues to increase. This feeling is similar to the cool chill that may be experienced when going downstairs to a cellar.

"Be careful." Feng Ye quietly reminds Wu Ya and Chu Feng.

Both after hearing this reminder are immediately alert.

"Do you see anything Chu Feng?" Feng Ye inquiries.

"Uh. There's a ghost..right behind you...like right there.." Chu Feng with a startled expression says while indicating to the area behind Feng Ye.

Helpless Feng Ye inquiries Shira quickly, "Anything I can do to get rid of the guy behind me?"

"Unfortunately not. Right now, although you can manipulate particles, a yin type of existence requires much more insight and comprehension of your spiritual awareness before being able to affect it. You would probably already feel that you can sense its existence simply through spiritual awareness, but unfortunately, cannot interact much less harm it at this time." Shira replies straightforwardly.

Feng Ye sighs. It seems like we have to depend on Chu Feng. A creepy feeling envelops Feng Ye as he can feel a weird presence bristle against the hairs on his neck.

"I'll be up to you Chu Feng. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it.." Feng Ye bitterly states.

Wu Ya who is nearby is also slightly startled and slightly shuffles away from Feng Ye to distance herself slightly.

A subtle change can be seen by Feng Ye as he takes a look at Chu Feng's pupils. The Yin Yang design in his eyes seem to rotate slightly.

Suddenly enlightened, Chu Feng mutters. "Yin Yang Shackles!" As his words fall, the yin yang rotates quickly. From Chu Feng's point of view dark shackles immediately entwines the ghost behind Feng Ye. These shackles immediately trap the ghost and start to tow it towards Chu Feng's pupil as though it is devouring it.

Feeling a different aura suddenly wrap around the presence behind him, Feng Ye immediately realizes that Chu Feng had made a move.

From Chu Feng's perspective, the deadpan look on the ghost immediately is startled and begins to roar with anger as it struggles against its dark shackles. The ghost is towed already through Feng Ye and slowly brought closer to Chu Feng.

Concentrating hard, Chu Feng's brows are tightly knit as some sweat can be seen on his forehead. The roaring of the ghost can be heard also by the nearby Feng Ye and Wu Ya.

The ghost towed emits a shrieking noise as it knows once it reaches Chu Feng's pupil it is its end.

Finally, the ghost is towed directly in front of Chu Feng. Little by little, the ghost seems to have little parts of it broken into small pieces which integrate themselves into Chu Feng's Yin Yang eyes. It seems as though the ghost was broken down part by part, bit by bit and had its yin energy slowly devoured until its existence is eliminated.

As the last bit of the ghost gets absorbed, Chu Feng's pupils stop revolving within his pupils and become stationary. One would notice, however, a very subtle change to the design of his yin yang eyes. It seems that before his yin yang eyes which were barely noticeable unless one specifically focused on them is now much darker and very much noticeable.

Chu Feng's aura had a change as well. It seemed that his body is a little cooler temperature wise as he is enveloped in yin energy. His aura coupled with the changes to his yin yang eyes make him have a more mysterious vibe.

"You alright?" Wu Ya inquiries.

At this time, Chu Feng is panting and nods.

"I'm alright. Unexpectedly, I could haul and absorb the ghost!" With a pleasantly surprised expression, Chu Feng replies to Wu Ya.

Feng Ye smiles as well. Seems like Chu Feng is slowly able to grasp this ability. Definitely will be great to see his friend reach new heights and the potential of his ability. Perhaps, Chu Feng may be a good powerup for his goal of heading home.

Patting on Chu Feng shoulder, Feng Ye smiles and complements, " Great job. Let's head back. Perhaps, we can add a new nickname to you… Ghost Hunter Chu?"

"Ahaha. I really don't want to bump into these expressionless fellows again. Still gives me goosebumps. Much less one that follows us." Chu Feng shakes his head.

"We should pick up the pace. Let's hurry back." Wu Ya comments as she glances quickly around the surroundings.

The three jog quickly and smoothly arrive back at Aven Towers. As they take the elevator up, Chu Feng and Wu Ya sigh a breath of relief.

"Really! What a long af day… Tiresome." Chu Feng complains as he leans against the elevator wall.

Feng Ye and Wu Ya nod in agreement.
