Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 13: Ghost Assistant (V & VI)

There was a sound of a 'whoosh' when a streamlined sports car stopped in front of Shao Feidu. Even though it appeared that there wasn't anybody in the car, the sound of the car honking could be heard.

"Get in the car, Dudu. Let's go watch an opera." The smiling face of Shang Ke could be slightly seen through the car window. His face even reflected colorful lighting effects.

Shao Feidu silently entered the car and sat in the front passenger seat. The safety belt was automatically fastened on him before the sports car dashed out at the speed of wind.

The sports car that didn't appear to have a driver rushed into the city center and parked in a familiar manner in the car park behind the opera house.

"Let's go." Shang Ke floated out of the car to lead Shao Feidu towards the opera house.

This would be the first time Shao Feidu would go by himself into a crowded place. Since he was internationally known, he had to wear a mask over his face to prevent anyone from recognizing him and a crowd surrounding him as a result.

The opera tickets were already booked in advance and all Shao Feidu had to do was show his ID card to enter. Shao Feidu was led by Shang Ke towards his seat and sat down. Shang Ke snugly pressed himself into Shao Feidu's embrace while holding the snacks in his hands. Even though he had the ability to manifest himself during the nighttime, there wasn't anyone who could see him without manifestation.

Shao Feidu embraced the ghost in his arms without a care for his surroundings and he focused his attention on the stage.

The lights surrounding them dimmed as the performance began. Shao Feidu focused himself on watching the show as if he were fully immersed in it. It was at this moment that a person sitting in front of them suddenly turned their head around one hundred and eighty degrees as he revealed a repulsive face with a creepy smile at Shao Feidu.

Shao Feidu's body stiffened and his originally relaxed mind became tense.

Shang Ke felt increasing strength on the embrace around his waist. He unhappily whacked the ghostly face in front of him which led to the ghost being smacked back into the body of the person sitting in front of them.

'There's a perpetrator for every injustice and a debtor for every debt. You should look for the person you have enmity with. Don't unnecessarily reveal yourself.' Shang Ke righteously warned.

It was no wonder that Shao Feidu avoided going outside by himself. There was a ghost everywhere he went. This first thing Shang Ke would do once he successfully revived himself would be to get Shao Feidu a talisman.

After noticing how effortlessly Shang Ke took care of the ghost, Shao Feidu's body eventually relaxed itself. He wrapped his arms around Shang Ke's waist to pull him closer into an embrace.

"You should relax and focus on watching the performance." Shang Ke twisted a piece of jerky out of the bag before offering it towards Shao Feidu's mouth.

Shao Feidu opened his mouth to receive it and slowly chewed. Once he finished eating the jerky, Shang Ke offered up the drink and served Shao Feidu until he relaxed.

It was fortunate for them that their surroundings were dark or else, others would have noticed the strange sight of various snacks floating towards Shao Feidu's mouth.

Once the two-hour long opera ended, Shao Feidu exited the opera house with the rest of the crowd.

They had just entered the hall where the sound of a scream came from nearby which was followed by a commotion.

Shang Ke looked in the direction of the commotion and noticed that a middle-aged man had collapsed onto the floor while gripping his chest in what seemed to be intense pain. A mother and her son were kneeling near him while anxiously searching for something on him.
