บท 18: Chapter 18: Ghosts in the Night
Night, with a bright moon and sparse stars.
Yan Yuchen stands by the window, looking up at the vast and distant sky, pondering how vast this world truly is and how many secrets lie hidden in the darkness.
Once dead, now suddenly reborn; once afflicted with a fatal illness, now improving due to a mysterious orb; what was initially a routine nocturnal emission, but involving a female ghost...
This world is indeed complex.
The pedestrians on the street below gradually diminish, and soon it becomes quiet in the deep of the night.
Yan Yuchen listens for a while, realizing there's no sound outside; presumably, his parents have already retired to bed.
He returns to his bed, sits cross-legged, and continues to explore the orb within his body.
Soon, a familiar warm flow surges up through his meridians, green light flickering in his eyes, making the thick wall across from him transparent again.
After last night's trial, activating it this time is even easier.
In the room opposite, everything is visible despite the absence of light.
The little sister lies on the bed in a cartoon T-shirt, her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling. She seems lost in thought, occasionally frowning, blushing, smiling foolishly, or muttering with a clenched fist and pouted lips.
Presumably, tonight's conversation with their parents has stirred up quite a bit in this silly girl's heart.
The little sister has been exceptionally clever since childhood. During dinner, she instantly understood Dad's words, but perhaps finding it difficult to accept at the moment, she deliberately misunderstood, diverting the topic with a joke to make everyone laugh.
Feeling a bit guilty for eavesdropping, Yan Yuchen stands up and goes to the window, gazing outside.
Under the mutation of his eyes, the city outside the window suddenly transformed, presenting many peculiar scenes in his vision.
Some places seemed to be ablaze, flames reaching for the sky; others were shrouded in black mist, eerie and ominous; some areas were covered in dense gray fog, lifeless; and yet other places were adorned with blooming flowers, exceptionally beautiful.
Yan Yuchen observed carefully, noticing that the areas enveloped in black mist were quite abundant, almost pervading the entire city.
Ancient texts mention the rise of Yin energy when the sun sets, and it seems to hold some truth.
Many books emphasize the importance of avoiding frequent late nights and wandering around at night, as it can disrupt the biological clock, weaken the immune system, and make one more susceptible to illness.
Now, it seems to make sense in this context.
Without the sun at night, Yin energy prevails. If people roam and indulge in activities during the late hours, they are likely to be invaded by Yin energy. Some malevolent forces may take advantage, damaging both the body and the mind, causing physical harm and moral deterioration.
No wonder many unfortunate events occur at night, and many sordid deeds originate in the darkness.
Some individuals who initially have self-control find their minds disturbed by malevolent influences at night. Their spirits become chaotic, courage grows, inner demons flourish, leading them to recklessly engage in actions they wouldn't dare during the day.
Such individuals often awaken suddenly when the sun rises, especially when standing in the sunlight, feeling fear and regret.
Yan Yuchen, as if discovering a new world, greedily observes every place different from daytime, and a certain part of his mind suddenly becomes bright and expansive.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a dark figure sweeps past the window but doesn't leave. Instead, it hovers and stops outside the window of Yan Xiaoxi's room.
Yan Yuchen squints his eyes, watching attentively.
A man in black with a bluish-green face, crimson eyes lusting evilly, stared at the sleeping girl in the room. His cracked lips drooled with desire, presenting a grotesque and malevolent appearance.
Suddenly, he turned to glance at the adjacent room, where a strange young man stood seemingly making eye contact with him.
"Hmm, impossible! A mere mortal couldn't possibly see me. That kid must be daydreaming. Anyway, this girl is naturally beautiful, and her primordial yin seems promising. She just had some sensual thoughts, unstable in her heart. I can take this opportunity to infiltrate her dreams and unite with her, absorbing her primordial yin."
The man smirked sinisterly, his body suddenly contorting into a wisp of black smoke, slipping through the window into the room.
Yan Yuchen, witnessing this, flashed a cold light in his eyes. The orb inside him spun faster, and a powerful force surged towards his hands.
Silently, he opened the door of the room. Luckily, his little sister's room was not locked. With a gentle twist, the door opened.
He then closed the door, coldly locking eyes with the hovering specter above his little sister.
The man was about to invade the dreams of the girl beneath him when he suddenly noticed the young man from the neighboring room walking in. He froze for a moment, then smirked darkly, "So, this is also a wicked one, not sparing even his own kin. Coming over so late, he must have a lascivious intent, wanting to harm his own family. Well, let's see how this unfolds."
Little did he know that as soon as this thought crossed his mind, the young man swiftly approached, a gleam of light in his hand, enveloping the man's entire body with a force that sent his soul trembling.
"Immortal!"
Feeling the terrifying power, the man was shocked and terrified. Before he could attempt to escape, the young man firmly seized his neck!
No matter how desperately he struggled, he couldn't budge an inch!
The man, in utter horror, trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't have dreamed that in this place, there would be an immortal possessing such formidable power!
Yan Yuchen looked at the trembling ghost in his hands but could not escape, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It turned out that he could really catch such a disembodied ghost with his bare hands.
Thinking that this evil thing just wanted to bully his little sister, Yan Yuchen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Just as he was about to kill him, Yan Xiaoxi, who should have been asleep, suddenly sat up and said: "Brother, why are you here in my room? What do you want to do?"
The girl immediately hugged the pillow and looked at him warily like a pervert.
Yan Yuchen was startled, paused, and with a thought in mind, he immediately stretched out his arms, his eyes dull, and did not answer her words. Instead, he walked around the room blankly, and then walked out calmly, helping her by the way. Close the door.
As for the ghost he caught in his hand, Yan Xiaoxi could not see it.
Yan Xiaoxi sat on the bed and watched him leave in a daze. After staying for a while, she suddenly woke up and smashed the pillow in her arms against the opposite wall angrily. She said angrily: "You bad guy, you have been caught by this person. You still dare to pretend to be sleepwalking after finding it out, you think I'm a three-year-old child! Huh, just wait, see if I don't tell our parents tomorrow!"
"Oh, did that bad guy see me drooling just now? Woohoo..."
