Late at night.

Chu Ge chased after General Lie Hao's scent, and he realized he couldn't catch up with General Lie Hao.

"What's going on? Is that guy really that fast?"

Chu Ge frowned, his expression strange.

He had no choice but to speed up.

However, after running for another three minutes, he still hadn't caught a glimpse of General Lie Hao.

Something wasn't right!

Chu Ge had been going around in circles in this business district for quite some time and hadn't seen a single animal carcass.

He returned to the commercial square where the fighting had happened earlier only to find that all the bodies that had been there before were gone, leaving behind only shocking traces of blood.

Chill ran up Chu Ge's spine.

His heart suddenly felt uneasy.

Could he have been hexed again?

Besides that, he could think of no other possibility.

Even if the Tokyo police were quick, they couldn't possibly be this fast.

Moreover, he had been running for so long and hadn't seen a single Tokyo police officer.

No, that's not right.

He hadn't seen a single person at all!

Only now did Chu Ge realize that he hadn't seen anyone.

This block seemed to have turned into a dead city, terrifyingly quiet.

Chu Ge felt a shiver down his spine, suddenly feeling as if eyes were watching him from every direction.

This sensation was unbearably terrifying.

Even more so than the last time he experienced sleep paralysis.

He decided to head in one direction.

What if it was all his misconception?

He started running at full speed, his pace was very fast, covering a hundred meters in less than three seconds.

Running along the street, Chu Ge still hadn't seen a single person; all the vehicles parked on the side of the road were empty.

The more he saw, the more panicked he felt in his heart.

The evil spirits really hadn't been fully cleared!

The depths of night in Tokyo City couldn't possibly be this desolate!

I've definitely encountered a ghost!

Chu Ge's heartbeat started to quicken.

He ran for five minutes.

Just as he was about to rush out of the city center, he suddenly felt as if he had collided with something invisible.

He shivered, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was astonished to find himself back at the commercial square he had been at earlier.

This...

Chu Ge nearly lost it; he immediately stopped.

"What to do... what to do... No, I must stay calm!"

Chu Ge muttered to himself, trying hard to keep rational.

He looked up and suddenly spotted a white figure on the roof of a commercial building ahead.

In the dark of night, that white figure was so conspicuous, fluttering in the wind.

That was...

Chu Ge's scalp tingled, for his eyesight was exceptionally strong.

He could see the white figure clearly.

It was precisely because of this that he felt terror.

It was a woman in white, head hanging down, her hair disheveled, her face unable to be seen.

But the image alone was enough to scare anyone to death.

Chu Ge's mind raced with images of all sorts of ugly, ferocious faces.

So it really was a ghost's trick.

Chu Ge took a deep breath, striving to calm his emotions.

He wasn't afraid of numerous enemies, but he was afraid if the enemy was a ghost.

Right then, the white figure suddenly rose into the air and drifted towards him.

Chu Ge cursed under his breath, "Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?"

He immediately used Raging Flame Separation, his body igniting with fierce flames as he transformed into the Blazing Flame Lion King, dispelling the darkness around him.

The white figure drew closer, and Chu Ge faced her, ready to pounce at any moment.

So what if it's a ghost!

I don't believe in gods or ghosts!

The distance between them was closing.

Chu Ge's heart felt like it was about to leap out of his throat.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

```

Fifteen meters.

Five meters.

Chu Ge's limbs bent, ready to jump.

"Wait!"

A familiar voice came through, as Sorcerer Cat rushed over from the side with great speed, so fast that Chu Ge's eyes couldn't keep up.

So fast!

"Demons and monsters, be gone!"

Sorcerer Cat shouted and leapt into the air, tumbling through the skies, using its tail to whip at the white apparition.

The white apparition was directly dispersed by its tail.

Chu Ge was stunned.

This line...

Sorcerer Cat landed, turned to Chu Ge, and said sternly, "I told you to let the incense cleanse the evil spirits from your body. Why didn't you listen?"

Chu Ge replied gloomily, "I've been staying in the temple for a day and a night."

"It seems it's not enough," Sorcerer Cat said with a frown.

Then, it turned to the night sky and muttered to itself, "Oh, Lord on high, let the evil demons scatter, bless your descendants..."

Chu Ge listened, curious. Was this a spell?

He didn't believe in these tricks before, but now he did.

He tried hard to remember it; who knows, it might come in handy later?

After a while,

Sorcerer Cat turned to face Chu Ge.

Chu Ge asked, "Did the ghost run away?"

Sorcerer Cat shook its head, saying, "There are no ghosts. I was just chanting to give myself some psychological comfort."

Chu Ge: "..."

What the hell!

Aren't you a sorcerer?

Chu Ge was thrown into disarray.

Sorcerer Cat chuckled, "I only said 'evil spirits,' you know. There are no such things as ghosts in this world—you must believe in science."

Chu Ge was taken aback, asking, "Then what are you doing being a sorcerer?"

So he was just a conman...

"Sorcerer is a family trade, passed down through generations. There's no helping it. However, I've discovered that those paranormal incidents might have something to do with unconventional living substances, so not all of the old tales are false. I'm going to spread this knowledge to the world," Sorcerer Cat replied, a look of yearning on its face.

Chu Ge was speechless.

But then again...

Are there unconventional living substances here?

Could they be underneath Tokyo City?

"Some unconventional living substances can interfere with magnetic fields, affect our thoughts, and might even preserve a person's voice and image, creating what people often describe as ghost sightings."

Sorcerer Cat explained this to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge asked, "So what should I do now to get rid of the influence of the unconventional living substances?"

Sorcerer Cat's expression became serious, "Go to crowded places. Human breath will gradually get rid of the unconventional substances on you. Follow me, I'm not affected and won't wander around in circles here."

With that, it walked away.

Chu Ge immediately followed it.

In his view, Sorcerer Cat seemed to be endlessly circling around. He followed behind, and before long he started to feel dizzy.

He endured the discomfort and kept following Sorcerer Cat.

"This is the influence of evil spirits—no, the influence of the unconventional living substances. Just endure a little longer, your brain will congest until it returns to normal," Sorcerer Cat's voice came from up ahead.

Chu Ge gritted his teeth and persisted.

About ten minutes went by.

Boom!

The foggy-minded Chu Ge suddenly felt his mind clear as if it exploded. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in front of a KTV entrance, with a man vomiting against a wall not far away.

Chu Ge's mind quickly became alert, and the discomfort was fading away.

He looked at Sorcerer Cat ahead and exclaimed, "You're really quite skilled."

"By the way, did I go to any crowded places just now?"

Sorcerer Cat turned and laughed, "No, you were just foolishly spinning in circles in the square."

Chu Ge was in a sullen mood.

Foolishly...

That's so embarrassing!

"Wait, so the place where I first met you hid unconventional materials? Have I been affected by them since then?" Chu Ge asked curiously.

He didn't get it. He clearly hadn't touched any unconventional living substances, so why was he affected?

That was just too bizarre!

Sorcerer Cat replied, "Some things can't be seen by the naked eye. Let's put it this way—the unconventional living substance is like a flower. It emits pollen that has settled on you and has been affecting you all this time. The incense in the temple can digest this pollen."
