Li Ge had just come back from that company, and the past few days had been hell for him.

His old rival had found out that Li Ge had secretly ended Shen Huo's contract. She saw a golden opportunity and didn't let it slip—she went straight to the boss.

The boss flew into a rage as soon as he found out, and in front of everyone, he completely tore into Li Ge.

Even though he didn't straight-up fire him, telling him to go home and "rest" was basically a soft way of stripping him of his job as a manager. All of his artists were handed over to his rival for the time being.

And the one who caused all of this... was Shen Huo!

That walking curse had been born just to mess with him! If it weren't for Shen Huo, there's no way he would've ended up in such a miserable state.

A flash of malice crossed Li Ge's eyes.

"Shen Huo..."

He gritted his teeth as he said the name, then made a call to someone saved in his phone.

"Brother She, you still got that stuff?"

The guy he called Brother She* replied over the phone, "Brother, security's real tight now. Can't bring it in without extra cash."

(*She 蛇 Shé: Snake)

"I don't care how much. As long as I get the goods."

"Straight to the point. Tomorrow at nine, same place."

Li Ge hung up, then contacted his army of trolls—just one word from him, and they'd launch an all-out attack on Shen Huo.

He casually dropped a red envelope in the group chat, and the chat instantly filled with flattering messages for Li Ge.

Once everything was set, he pulled out his SIM card, snapped it in half, and replaced it with a new one.

With a smug smile on his face, he got in his car and headed home.

He had no idea the charm he was wearing on his chest had just turned to ash, right before his eyes.

After parking in the underground garage, he got out of the car, ready to head upstairs.

But the moment he closed the door, he caught something out of the corner of his eye—a shadow flickered in the spot his headlights had just passed.

Li Ge rubbed his eyes. When he turned to look again, the spot was empty.

He let out a breath, chalking it up to exhaustion. He'd been so tired lately he was probably just seeing things, so he didn't think much of it.

Tap, tap, tap.

Sweating buckets, he glanced at his phone. The elevator was just a few steps away from the garage... so why had he been walking for ten minutes and still hadn't reached it?

Li Ge wiped the sweat off his forehead. That was when he suddenly felt like someone was standing behind him.

He whipped around and stared at the spot that had just felt off—no one was there.

He let out a long sigh of relief, but as soon as he turned back around, a female ghost with a purplish-blue face and a twisted expression in white clothes was standing right in front of him.

"AAAHHH!"

Li Ge screamed and scrambled backward, crawling away as fast as he could, desperate to get a million miles away from the ghost.

Panicked and disoriented, he ran aimlessly, not even knowing where he ended up.

Then, when he looked up, there was another female ghost right in front of him, so close they were basically touching. He could even smell the stench of rot coming off her.

"AHHH!"

He felt his feet get yanked off the ground. Glancing back, he saw the ghost had grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"M-Miss, I don't even know you! Can't you just be kind and let me go?"

"Don't know me? Li Ge, take a good look at me!"

As the ghost got closer, Li Ge saw that her rotting face was crawling with white maggots. A few of them dropped onto his face, making his skin crawl with an unbearable itch.

Before he could react, one of the maggots wriggled into his mouth. He could feel it squirming down his throat and into his stomach.

"Ugh!"

He barely had time to gag before the ghost grabbed him by the hair and dragged him a long distance.

He recognized that face.

"Y-You Li?!"

"Well, look who finally remembers me! Hehehehe—"

"Didn't you..."

"Didn't I die? Let me be clear—I did die. That's why I'm here to take your life!"

Li Ge was so scared he peed and crapped himself, a foul stench rising from his lower body.

You Li had been the first stepping stone in his climb to power. She was the shortcut he'd used to rise through the ranks fast.

He still remembered when You Li escaped his surveillance and tried to report him to the police.

Back then, he was furious and beat her senseless.

He also clearly remembered avoiding her face when he hit her.

At the time, he had thought, 'That face is my money-maker—gotta keep it intact.'

Later, You Li died.

After her death, he started dreaming about her every night—blood streaming from all seven orifices, coming to take his life.

For days, he felt like he was dying in his sleep without even realizing it.

So he went to a Vietnamese shaman and got a Buddha statue to worship.

Sure enough, after that, the nightmares stopped. He stopped seeing You Li.

So why—why was she back now?! Why could he still see You Li?!

No, no, no. This couldn't be real!

It had to be a hallucination. You Li was already dead!

"Dead people can't come back. I must be dreaming. This isn't real. You Li, I know I wronged you. Please let me go. I'll find a real monk to help your soul move on—please, I'm begging you, stop haunting me!"

You Li looked at the trembling mess that was Li Ge and let out a cold laugh.

She had waited years for this moment, and now she couldn't wait any longer.

Her eyes turned terrifying, like a vengeful spirit's.

Her nails dug deep into Li Ge's flesh, and watching him writhe in agony gave her immense satisfaction.

Just as she was about to rip out his heart, a strip of red silk appeared and stopped her.

"Don't forget why we're here."

You Li slapped away Yang Yiyi's red silk and shouted, "I've waited so long for this—I have to kill him with my own hands!"

"You Li, don't let your hatred take over. He can't die yet—not like this. That would be letting him off way too easy!"

"I can't wait any longer! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? The one who killed me is right in front of me—why the hell can't I kill him?!"

There was no point in saying anything more—killing Li Ge had become You Li's inner demon, and now that demon had taken over her mind. No way she'd listen anymore.

The two vengeful ghosts started fighting in the underground garage.
