“Oh my god, Mo Yi, are you okay?”
Before anyone else could speak, a young man with a baby face rushed towards Mo Yi at the door, shouting and calling out to him.
According to the memories of the original owner, Mo Yi knew that this person was the original owner’s manager, Brother Long. Although his name was Brother Long, he didn’t really give off any sense of dominance.
Brother Long was one of the first batch of artists that the original owner took under his wing when he started working as a manager, so he cared a lot about the original owner. From the plot, Mo Yi knew that Brother Long genuinely cared about the original owner’s success.
After the original owner fell on hard times, Brother Long continued to support him, but unfortunately, his influence was limited.
After the original owner’s death, Brother Long’s situation didn’t improve much either. It was said that he eventually left the entertainment industry and returned to his hometown, where he opened a small noodle shop to make a living.
So, Mo Yi’s attitude towards Brother Long was still very good. Smiling at the young man in front of him, he said, “I’m fine, I’ve already subdued the bad guy.”
Seeing the appearance of the so-called thief, the security personnel who opened the door couldn’t help but curl their lips. This wasn’t subduing, it was almost killing him.
But Brother Long was furious at Mo Yi’s words.
“Oh my god, it’s probably those crazy fans or some sleazy tabloid reporters again! Last time they sneaked into the restroom at your event venue trying to secretly film you. And now they’ve even hidden in your room! They’re getting too bold! Call the police, quickly, and catch him!”
Seeing Brother Long’s excitement, the security guard at the door quickly made the call to the police. Worried that Brother Long might beat up the unconscious person even more severely, they decided to take the person to the security room first before making further decisions.
Left alone in the room, Mo Yi listened to Brother Long’s complaints without saying anything. After all, the person in front of him was just an ordinary human.
Even if he explained, he was afraid he would be seen as crazy.
Originally, he was eager to rush to rescue his partner, but then he realized that his partner was in another city. Wanting to go there wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay? Did you get scared just now?” Brother Long asked anxiously.
Mo Yi nodded at the words, wearing an apologetic expression on his face as he said, “Can I take a few days off?”
Upon hearing this, the person across from him readily agreed.
If it were someone else, they might not have agreed so readily. But the original owner was a model employee who worked tirelessly around the clock to make money.
Moreover, the upcoming work was just some promotion for a new movie, and the original owner wasn’t even the main character in the film, so it was okay for him not to go.
“Then take a good rest for a while.”
After comforting Mo Yi for a while longer, Brother Long left the room. Later, when the police came to take away the person who had entered Mo Yi’s room, it was also handled by Brother Long.
The next morning, Mo Yi took the early morning flight back to the city where his partner was located.
When Mo Yi arrived, it was already noon, but to ensure his partner’s comfort when he came out later, he waited until nightfall before taking action.
Perhaps it was fortunate that, in order to avoid disturbance, the location of the large array was in a mountain forest. Moreover, some concealment methods were used, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect the situation there.
As soon as Mo Yi arrived at the location, he sensed a more abundant spiritual energy than elsewhere, accompanied by resentment.
Mo Yi could see a layer of black mist drifting around, and it only rose up after he arrived, indicating that there was something here that awakened because of his arrival.
Without hesitation, Mo Yi drove the shovel into the solid ground, hearing the metallic clang with each strike. When he cleared the debris, he found an old metal door with iron chains encasing it on all sides. Mo Yi swiftly broke four iron chains with the shovel, causing the ground to shake violently.
As the surrounding black mist thickened, Mo Yi remained unfazed. He jumped into the pit, retrieved the large metal box, and brought it to the surface. With his dagger, he pried open the box to reveal a red-blooded-looking jar made of what seemed like jade, containing his partner’s ashes.
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine as someone—or something—pressed against his back. Despite the terrifying sensation, Mo Yi remained calm as he recognized his partner’s scent emanating from the entity.
With his chin held firmly, Mo Yi silently awaited whatever illusion or scare tactic the entity intended to use. He knew his partner wouldn’t harm him, so he remained composed, expecting the entity to cease its frightening antics soon.
Unbeknownst to Mo Yi, behind him, the entity had revealed its true form.
He was a dashing young man dressed in a white ancient robe, with strikingly handsome features tainted by a lingering aura of malice. From the sleeve of his robe emerged a hand that transformed into a skeletal shape, exuding an unmistakable air of intimidation.
He couldn’t remember how many years he had been trapped here, but he knew exactly why he died. After death, he was trapped here, powerless despite his overwhelming bitterness.
When someone finally arrived, he initially thought it might be the people responsible for his demise, fueling his intense hatred. However, upon closer inspection, he realized the newcomer bore no resemblance to the bloodline of those who wronged him.
So, who was this person?
Even as a restless spirit, Bai Min only sought vengeance. He demanded in a cold tone, “Who are you?”
Mo Yi felt the chilling breath of the entity against his ear, sending shivers down his spine, yet he was elated that his partner was speaking to him. Quickly turning around, he was mesmerized by the stunning appearance of his beloved behind him.
After considering the words he had planned to say before coming, Mo Yi addressed Bai Min, “I-I’ve come to ask for your help.”
“Ask for my help?” Bai Min’s lips curved into a somewhat sinister smile.
He’s a vengeful ghost, and someone seeking his help must either be crazy or trying to manipulate him into killing someone. Bai Min had no intention of becoming a tool for others again. He stared straight into Mo Yi’s eyes, seeing clarity and even a hint of affection in them when they met his own.
Affection!
Bai Min almost thought he was seeing things, wondering how it was possible for a human to express fondness for a ghost. Convinced that Mo Yi was not being honest, Bai Min grabbed his neck, threatening, “Who are you? How did you find me? If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll end your life!”
Though the ghost’s expression was fierce, Mo Yi remained calm. If he truly intended harm, Bai Min’s grip would have been stronger. Seeing through his partner’s bluff, Mo Yi inwardly chuckled, maintaining an innocent facade as he replied, “No, I’m being honest!”
“My name is Mo Yi, and I’m an employee of the Bai family. I know you have grievances with them, just as they are after me. So, I came to find you, thinking we could join forces!”
“Join forces, with you?” Bai Min’s tone dripped with disdain, but he eventually released his grip.
Watching the man coughing and clutching his neck, Bai Min felt a twinge of discomfort.
“Forget about that for now. Come with me first, and I’ll explain everything along the way,” Mo Yi suggested, then bent down to pick up the urn containing Bai Min’s ashes, giving him a wink.
Seeing his own ashes before him, Bai Min’s expression darkened. However, he realized that even if the other had ulterior motives, it was still better than being trapped here.
After nodding in agreement, before departing, Bai Min waved his arm, destroying the entire array, and then followed Mo Yi away from the place.
The journey from the forest to Mo Yi’s residence took two to three hours by car. As they descended the mountain, Bai Min was astonished by the changing scenery. Trapped for so long, he hadn’t expected such significant changes in the world.
Bai Min couldn’t help but notice the peculiar attire of the people around him. At first, he thought Mo Yi might be an anomaly, but now it seemed that everyone dressed similarly.
Before long, they arrived at Mo Yi’s apartment.
This housing arrangement was also arranged by the company, located in a large flat in the city center.
The original owner was a homebody, but that didn’t mean he didn’t love life. He had decorated his residence very warmly.
Upon entering the room, Bai Min was intrigued by the spacious living room and modern amenities.
Thinking that his partner probably hadn’t seen these before, Mo Yi took off his coat, ran to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and pulled back the curtains. Pointing to the starry cityscape outside, he asked, “Isn’t it beautiful?”
Bai Min nodded, only to see the person opposite him smiling warmly and saying, “But not as beautiful as you!”
This flirtatious remark made Bai Min, a man from ancient times, furrow his brow.
Ignoring the flutter in his heart, he wondered if this person named Mo Yi was a bit too frivolous.
Hahaha Bai Min thinks Mo Yi is a flirt
One might think Mo Yi has some interesting… types?
Bai Ren: will you love me even if I’m an octopus?
Mo Yi: ehehehe…. You’re underestimating my love! I’ll love u even if you’re a ghost!!
Thank you for the update!!~
