The game becomes reality: Black Myth invades the real world.

Chapter 22 Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Delivering from All Suffering

Listening to the whispers of the dead allows Chen Fu to hear the voices of ghosts or corpses.

Some are unfulfilled obsessions before death, some are attachments to the world, and some are resentment towards death.

Chen Fu realized that it was probably because the woman's obsession was so deep that he could hear the voice so clearly.

So how should we solve this? Chen Fu thought for a moment and then walked forward.

Just then, Lady Wei's girlfriend mustered her courage and shouted at the woman, "What kind of demons and monsters dare to show themselves in broad daylight?! Get out of here at once!"

Chen Fu was stunned by the sound, and then he saw a burly girl take half a step forward and glare angrily at the front.

His appearance was even more frightening than Zhang Fei.

Chen Fu often heard Wei Niangniang talk about his girlfriend, and the two seemed to be very much in love, but he never expected it to turn out like this.

The woman clearly heard the sound and slowly raised her head.

She looked at the burly girl in front of her, her voice suddenly becoming louder: "Ruru, is that you? You've changed so much."

The other three couldn't hear it, but Chen Fu heard it clearly. He felt his head buzzing and his eardrums were about to burst.

He immediately stepped forward, blocking the woman's path, and said in a deep voice, "If you have a problem, come at me!"

Upon hearing this, the other three were completely at a loss for words.

Wei Lai recognized Chen Fu and was deeply moved, thinking that Brother Fu was still the most reliable in this critical moment.

Li Ruomeng didn't recognize the boy in front of her, but she breathed a sigh of relief when someone stepped forward.

He Lingxue was the most shocked. She hadn't expected Chen Fu to be so brave. Sure enough, her judgment was correct. Chen Fu must take on the position of the next president of the Supernatural Society.

"You must have an unfulfilled wish to be here. Tell me, and I can help you."

Chen Fu quietly took a step forward and whispered his advice, clutching the Great Sage's hair in his hand.

It's not that he's particularly brave, but he knows two of the three people in front of him, and he has ways to protect himself. Does he expect an ordinary person to take the blame?

Although the silver needles were still inside the stomach of the descendant of the sage, he still had hair on his body and was now an employee of the Spirit Investigation Bureau, so it was only natural that he should be at the forefront.

"Ruru, Mommy misses you so much, come here and let Mommy hug you."

The woman seemed not to hear, and floated forward with her arms outstretched, trying to hug the girl.

Li Ruomeng had lost her earlier courage. She grabbed Wei Niangniang's hand and backed away, quickly reaching He Lingxue's side.

Chen Fu intended to throw out the Great Sage's hair, but the woman passed right through him and continued forward, only to feel a gust of cold wind blowing.

This confirmed his earlier suspicion that the woman was not a corpse, but a ghost with an obsession that was too deep.

Since that's the case, there's no need to start with a hair; let's test the power of the hypocritical Buddhist chants first.

There was actually a concern behind doing this.

Chen Fu wasn't ready to reveal his abilities to his roommate and club president. This would drag him into another mess, so he'd keep it a secret for as long as possible.

He turned around quickly and shouted to the three men, "Run!"

He Lingxue reacted the fastest, turning around and running backwards, her little leather shoes making a series of slapping sounds.

Even though she was fascinated by all sorts of strange and unusual things, it was impossible for her not to be afraid when she suddenly saw a ghost.

But after the initial fear subsided, a strong sense of excitement arose within her, making her eager to find out more.

Besides, Chen Fu is still in the same place, and He Lingxue is not going to abandon him and run away.

With this in mind, He Lingxue stopped after running for more than ten meters and carefully observed the movements on Chen Fu's side.

Empress Wei and Li Ruomeng stopped beside her, panting as they looked back.

Seeing that the person had left, Chen Fu had no more scruples and began to recite the Heart Sutra, using the false Buddhist chants to purify the wronged souls.

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress..."

As she began reciting the Heart Sutra, the woman's already slow pace decreased even further, almost to the point of stopping.

She slowly turned around, her eyes, buried beneath her damp hair, fixed intently on Chen Fu.

There was a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if she was blaming him for not letting her hold her daughter.

With a fierce whistle, the woman rushed towards Chen Fu like the wind.

A chilling wind swept over him, and at that moment, Chen Fu felt the threat of death.

No, how could a wronged spirit possess such power? Just how much did she love her daughter?

The chilling aura was still spreading, and the Mountain Silent skill was on cooldown. If someone were to run into it, they would likely be crippled or killed.

As Chen Fu retreated, he increased the speed of his chanting until his heels touched the flower bed, leaving him nowhere to go.

At this moment, the woman was already close enough that he could even feel the cold air emanating from her nostrils!

"Oh no, I was a bit too arrogant..." Chen Fu thought to himself, but he didn't stop chanting the Buddhist scriptures. At the same time, he prepared to loosen his grip and drop the Great Sage's hair.

Fortunately, the woman slowed down again as the scriptures were recited.

The hostility in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a sense of relief, and her expression began to soften into one of serenity.

The false Buddhist rhetoric is taking effect, and its influence is growing stronger over time.

As the recitation reached its final section, a faint golden light began to appear around Chen Fu, making him appear incredibly solemn.

The woman's condition improved; she was no longer dripping wet, and her eyes became clear.

As the last word was uttered, the faint golden light suddenly shone a few more points, then gradually dimmed and finally vanished into nothingness.

The woman was no longer in the same state as before.

Like a child who had done something wrong, she twisted her hands together and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I didn't mean it. I just miss my child so much."

A master? Chen Fu's lips twitched. Have you ever seen such a handsome master?

To get the woman to leave sooner, he adopted a solemn expression, lowered his eyes and nodded, saying, "It's alright, you can leave now."

I've finished reciting the Heart Sutra. If you don't leave soon, I can't keep up the act anymore.

"But, Master..." The woman brushed aside her long hair and bit her lip. "I miss my daughter so much. Could you please let me see her?"

You still want to see your daughter? Aren't you afraid she'll be frightened?

Chen Fu shook his head and said, "Humans and ghosts are different, it's better not to meet."

"Yes... Master is right." The woman's expression visibly fell.

She lowered her head and slowly walked towards Sidu Lake, as if she were about to jump in.

Chen Fu couldn't stand it anymore and wondered if he was being too cruel.

Considering the experience points gained from helping the ghost groom fulfill his last wish, could we continue doing this if we act now?

He thought for a moment and said, "But I can go and see your daughter for you."

It's not that I can't stand life and death, it's all for experience points!

Chen Fu comforted himself inwardly, watching the woman turn around in surprise.

"Thank you, Master. I'm sorry to have troubled you." The woman bowed repeatedly in gratitude, then gave her and her daughter's names, contact information, and address.

As children, many people don't know their parents' phone numbers. But for parents, they will remember their children's contact information perfectly.

"I'll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow night to tell you about your daughter's recent situation."

Chen Fu waved his hand, indicating that the woman could leave.

The woman bowed again in thanks, but he was still confused.

"It's alright, let's leave."

He could only continue to feign the demeanor of a sage monk, watching the woman disappear into the lake. Only when she was completely out of sight did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The purifying Buddhist chants can indeed purify wronged souls and restore their reason, but it is uncertain how long this effect will last.

If he had been seen through, he would have faced even more intense retaliation. Fortunately, this time he was facing a ghost who was still thinking about his daughter; otherwise, he might have been in danger again.

Chen Fu had gained a basic understanding of the skill "Hypocritical Buddhist Voice" and thought that he could use it in combination with the silver needles once they were ready.

In this way, even if the wronged spirit breaks free from its state again after the purification is complete, there will be a backup plan.

He always thinks things through thoroughly, because if he makes a mistake, he could lose his life.

As for the Great Sage's hairs, it's not that they can't be used, but having the monkey play in low-level matches every time easily leads to negative reviews.

Didn't you see that the monkey was already dissatisfied after beating that burly man? If this happens a few more times, he might just quit.

"I'll call the monkey out when we encounter a crisis that we can't resolve..." Chen Fu thought to himself, then turned and walked outside.

He hadn't forgotten that there were still three people waiting for him.

Chen Fu stepped out of the flower bushes and was met by three pairs of eyes.

There was worry, admiration, and curiosity.

"Brother Fu, I knew you could handle everything~"

Lady Wei spoke first, and he jogged over with his arms tucked under his arm, exuding a captivating charm and allure.

She wasn't still when she got next to Chen Fu; she grabbed his arm with both hands and acted like a little bird clinging to him.

Dude, you're a guy, can you stop looking at me with those adoring eyes...? Chen Fu's eyes twitched, he pulled his arm away, and looked at the slightly burly girl.

What's wrong with me lately? Everyone, male or female, seems to develop a crazy infatuation with me when they're with someone. This isn't good, it's not good.

"Mengmeng, this is the Fu-gege I told you about. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to be together."

Empress Wei wasn't angry at Chen Fu's actions and enthusiastically introduced him to her girlfriend.

"Hello, my name is Li Ruomeng." Li Ruomeng extended her hand generously and shook hands with Chen Fuxu.

Immediately, she asked curiously, "So, what just happened? Was that really a ghost?"

"You're mistaken. It's just a tattered piece of clothing that's being blown forward by the wind."

Chen Fu lied without batting an eye; what else could he do? Tell them there really was a ghost, and then get the Paranormal Investigation Bureau involved?

Li Ruomeng felt something was off. She clearly heard Chen Fu speak just now, but there were no other sounds. She could only suppress her curiosity with skepticism.

"Don't wander around the lake so late at night. It's almost ten o'clock. Go back to sleep."

Chen Fu continued, urging the two to return to school as soon as possible and, ideally, to avoid going on dates to Sidu Lake in the future.

This place is a bit eerie; two times now, paranormal events have occurred.

A water ghost and a vengeful spirit—neither is a major problem, but who can guarantee it won't happen again next time?

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore."

Li Ruomeng stopped Wei Niangniang, who was about to speak, smiled, and led him towards the school.

She could tell her boyfriend didn't believe her explanation either, but since Chen Fu wasn't willing to talk about it, she figured she might as well let it go. Did she really want to pry and force him to tell her?

After all, no matter what, Chen Fu had "saved" their lives, and if they wanted to talk about it, there would definitely be another chance later.

Despite her somewhat robust appearance, Li Ruomeng is actually very thoughtful.

The young couple left bickering, one clearly still wanting to ask more questions, while the other desperately tried to stop her from speaking, until they were quite far away and could no longer be heard from them.

"You can't even fool your roommate with that." He Lingxue, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward. "I advise you to tell the truth and stop trying to fob me off."

Chen Fu knew the lie was fake, but he had no choice; time was too tight, and he couldn't think of any other reason.

Facing He Lingxue, he pondered and said, "Actually, it really is a ghost."

There's no need to lie to the club president. She loves strange and unusual things, and hiding too much will only make her keep harassing you.

"Really?" He Lingxue's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Then what was that golden light that just rose up?"

She wanted to find out the truth.

"I am actually a lay Buddhist disciple; that's my method for subduing ghosts and monsters."

Chen Fu said with a serious expression.

"I'd be a fool to believe you," He Lingxue muttered. She had never seen a Buddhist disciple drink milk tea before.

However, the golden light felt strangely familiar to her, as if she had seen it recently.

"That's enough, knowing too much is bad for your health."

Chen Fu didn't want to dwell on this matter and was already considering whether to have Captain Zhou come over and give the three of them a purification treatment.

He had never dealt with a case of an ordinary person seeing a ghost before. It was Zhou Jianbang who had handled the situation at the ghost marriage venue.

I'll report the situation later and see how Captain Zhou arranges things... Chen Fu thought to himself as he walked towards the school.

Suddenly, he felt a weight on his body; He Lingxue had jumped onto his back.

"Brother Fu~ don't lie to me, or I'll bite your ear off."

He Lingxue imitated Wei Niangniang's habit and spoke into Chen Fu's ear, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and her legs around his waist.

"President, you're a junior in college, can you stop being so childish?"

Chen Fu tried to break free, but He Lingxue's embrace was too tight. He could touch a warm and smooth surface with his hand, the unique feel of white silk.

"Besides, we're not a couple. It's not good for people to see you like this."

Left with no other option, he could only try to use his connections to get He Lingxue to step down.

"If you want, we can be a couple right now," He Lingxue whispered into Chen Fu's ear, then revealed her purpose.

"I know you're hiding a secret, and I won't ask, but if there's anything fun like this again, you have to take me with you."

As a girl who is fascinated by strange things, He Lingxue is not prepared to give up such a rare opportunity.

Besides, she didn't dislike Chen Fu; in fact, she thought he was exceptionally outstanding. It would be even better if the two of them could become friends in the future.

"Come down, and I'll agree."

"Promise me, and I'll come down."

Hey, Chen Fu got angry when he heard this.

You little vixen, do you really think I can't handle you?

He straightened his back, and with a smooth arc of his arm, he turned her sideways to the front amidst He Lingxue's exclamation, assuming a princess carry position. Then, he withdrew his hand from between her legs and gently put her down.

Even though his game level is only one, his physical abilities have already surpassed those of ordinary people.

More than enough to deal with a legally petite girl who is only 1.5 meters tall.

Seeing Chen Fu walk forward silently, He Lingxue realized her request was a bit excessive, so she quickly followed and joked:

"Oh, you know what I like, so just say yes!"

"Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Chen Fu turned his head and asked, looking at He Lingxue's little face that seemed to be saying nothing, and finally sighed.

If you were a player, you would know, but clearly, He Lingxue isn't.

If an ordinary person gets caught up in a paranormal event, they could lose their life if they're not careful.

If we hadn't intervened in time, and the wronged spirit had actually run into Li Ruomeng, who knows what the consequences would have been?

"How can I be with you?"

He Lingxue asked unwillingly.

"Find a temple, become a nun, and study for a few years."

Chen Fu left those words and continued walking towards the school.

He Lingxue pondered those words carefully, and after a moment realized that Chen Fu was lying to her.

You little brat, how dare you treat me, the club president, like this? Come here and face your death!

He Lingxue caught up with Chen Fu in her leather shoes, raised her white-stockinged leg and kicked him, her interest in investigating supernatural events waning somewhat.

Chen Fu nimbly dodged and turned to run back to the school. The two chased each other until they reached the girls' dormitory building.

"Go inside, you have class tomorrow."

Chen Fu looked at He Lingxue, who was panting and covered in sweat, and pointed to the dormitory door with his chin.

"I'll settle the score with you when I have time." He Lingxue snorted coldly, turned her face away, and went inside.

It was still too hot that day. I started sweating after just a few steps. My stockings were sticking to my legs and it was quite uncomfortable. Taking a shower when I got back was more important than anything else.

Chen Fu didn't sit idle either. After returning to the boys' dormitory, he didn't go in directly, but instead called Zhou Jianbang first.

He explained the situation in detail, and Zhou Jianbang indicated that he would continue to follow up and that someone would be sent over tomorrow night to handle it together.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, mainly Chen Fu asking what an ordinary person should do if they encounter a paranormal event.

During that time, his phone rang; it was a WeChat message, but he didn't check it because he was on a call.

Zhou Jianbang said there was no good solution at the moment; the options were either to appease the person and have them sign a confidentiality agreement, or to use his skills to erase their memory.

Chen Fu then asked what the effects would be if a person's memories were repeatedly erased.

This stumped Zhou Jianbang, as he had never tried it before.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Chen Fu gave up and hung up the phone to check the message he had just received.

"I know everything about you."

Chen Fu frowned as he looked at the passage. He looked up and saw a face on the fourth floor of the dormitory, smiling at him.
