Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

cw: suicide

Han Tianyu was dreaming again.

Because he had dreamed of the long-haired woman several nights in a row and was frightened by it, he hadn’t rested well these past few days and was at the point of not quite daring to go to sleep.

It was just that recording for the competition was too nerve-wracking. In addition to the fact that he had been blown about by the ocean wind for a whole day on the cruise ship, after he had come back and showered, he had fallen asleep by accident after lying in bed.

There was a saying that whatever you feared would come. As Han Tianyu feared, this sleep was uneasy.

He had just entered his dream when he found himself once again in that familiar corridor. And at the other end of the corridor stood that girl with long hair. The more he looked, the more terrified he felt.

“This is a dream, this is a dream!” Han Tianyu tried his hardest to prepare himself mentally, attempting to wake himself up.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Seeing the distance between him and the female ghost become closer and closer, Han Tianyu’s entire being was about to collapse.

He really wanted to run off, but for some reason, it was as if his feet were glued to the floor. He couldn’t move even though he wanted to.

The female ghost seemed to have specifically come to break his psychological defences. She didn’t suddenly flash in front of him, merely shortening the distance between them bit by bit.

She was clearly facing her back towards him so he couldn’t see her face, but Han Tianyu instinctively knew she wouldn’t have a very friendly face.

Aaaaaaaaa, I’m going crazy!

The female ghost was about to reach his side. She was even closer to him than in his last dream.

Han Tianyu could clearly hear the gurgling sounds in her throat. He stared in stupefaction as she slowly turned her head around.

The most frightening thing was, her body didn’t move at all. Only her neck turned around at an unnatural angle.

She wasn’t human!

This revelation made Han Tianyu feel so desolate he felt like his mind had become blank. He even almost forgot to breathe.

“Once she turns her head around, I’m definitely done for…”

Han Tianyu was extremely frightened, but in his moment of utter despair, he suddenly remembered what Lu Xu had told him before. He shut his eyes and shouted, “Xu ge, save me!”

In fact, even Han Tianyu himself thought this was childish. No matter how amazing Lu Xu was, he couldn’t come into his dream right now and save him.

In addition, there was this female ghost in this dream. If Lu Xu really came then he wouldn’t feel at ease. He couldn’t not only suffer by himself, but he also had to bring in a didi.

But another voice inside him told him to trust Lu Xu. His declaration at that time wasn’t false; he definitely had a method.

The two little figures in his mind argued back and forth. Han Tianyu could only feel that his mental state was in complete disarray.

At this moment, the female ghost came in front of him and suddenly giggled out loud. She drew her hand across Han Tianyu’s face. “Do you want to date, xiao gege?”

“Dating a big-headed ghost ah!” Han Tianyu really was about to go insane. He felt like something wet had just licked his face.

Could a person’s tongue be this long?

Han Tianyu had a hunch that this was a ghost, but he didn’t dare to open his eyes and look in this kind of situation.

The female ghost held his face, her actions becoming slower and slower, her eyes spinning in circles. Her long tongue wagged back and forth and she giggled with her mouth split open wide. “After I put a seal on it, you’ll be my boyfriend!”

Put a seal?

Han Tianyu felt like something was wrong. He violently opened his eyes and saw the female ghost scooting over towards him with a pout. His gaze went down to the tongue hanging in front of her chest that was still dripping with saliva.

He hadn’t even imagined in his dreams that he really was experiencing a 4D horror movie like Lu Xu had said

He tried to break free of the female ghost’s grip but the other party’s strength was unnaturally strong. Even if Han Tianyu tried, it was of no use.

Five centimetres…

Four centimetres…

Three centimetres…

The female ghost’s mouth came closer and closer. Han Tianyu could even smell the reek of blood in her mouth.

“Xu ge, save me…” Han Tianyu used all his strength to tilt his head back, only feeling humiliated and in despair.

Just as he was about to collapse, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and pinched the female ghost’s mouth before shoving her to the side. “This is harassment, ai.”

Having suddenly heard a familiar voice, Han Tianyu turned around to see that Lu Xu was now in his dream, keeping the female ghost at bay.

He realised at this moment, his saviour Lu Xu was extremely handsome in the midst of the waters and fire.

“Wuuuuuuu, Xu ge, if you had come a bit later, I’m afraid I’d…”

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Since he was his bait for fishing for ghosts, Lu Xu patiently comforted Han Tianyu.

The female ghost’s face had been pinched by Lu Xu. She could only feel her entire being trembling in fear in the face of death.

She had only wanted to date, who knew she would be caught by Lu Xu before she had even taken the person away.

The female ghost was extremely aggrieved, pointing at Han Tianyu and saying, “He bothered me first…”

“I did not.” When Han Tianyu heard this, he could only feel dumbstruck. He wasn’t dumb, why would he bother a ghost if he had nothing else going on?

Lu Xu knew that she was referring to that rope. He didn’t want Han Tianyu to hear too much, so he turned back and told him, “There’s nothing much for you to do here. Go back and sleep well, the nightmare will be completely dispersed.”

When Han Tianyu heard Lu Xu say this, he unconsciously nodded. It was only a moment later that he realised he was in a dream. How could a person who was already asleep fall asleep again?

Just as he was ruminating over how much he didn’t understand, his consciousness suddenly felt blurry and he fell asleep within his dream.

Having dealt with this side, Lu Xu finally began focusing on dealing with the hanged ghost. “Okay, show me your ID.”

The female ghost instinctively wanted to escape, but she had been pressed down by Lu Xu, unable to move. She could only respond honestly, “I don’t have identification…”

“Remaining here against the law?” Lu Xu raised his brows, thinking that the Southwest Grim Reaper Bureau really was quite negligent.

The female ghost shuddered all over, only subconsciously shaking her head. “I don’t want to do anything bad, I just have pure intentions of wanting to date ah…”

Lu Xu took out his phone and scanned her face. Her personal information jumped out—Zhu Mengqi, female, 26 years old…

No wonder she could run around wherever; her death information hadn’t been updated, so she was a stowaway.

Zhu Mengqi had chased idols since childhood and liked the unrealistic dreams of little girls. Even though she grew up, later on, she still liked daydreaming about celebrities. Her biggest dream was to date a celebrity.

Carrying these kinds of thoughts, Zhu Mengqi lived completely out of reality and lived off chasing celebrities.

There wouldn’t have been much of an issue if she had only chased them with pure intentions, but not only did she chase them in their activities and meet them, she even followed artists into their personal lives. Sometimes, she would even find their phone numbers and call them to ask if they would date her.

“Sasaeng?”

Hearing Lu Xu evaluate her with this term, Zhu Mengqi immediately couldn’t stay calm. “I’m not a sasaeng, I’m only purely chasing after romance.”

She had always thought of finding a celebrity boyfriend. She had thought of it so many times she herself believed it.

Zhu Mengqi became even more intense in her stalking, to the point where she would knock on their doors in the middle of the night. The performers she harassed were so miserable they even posted on Weibo, begging their sasaeng fans to give them some privacy and to not bother them anymore.

Fans hated sasaengs as much as they like their idols.

Very quickly, Zhu Mengqi’s personal information was brought out.

Angry fans went to her Weibo page, calling and texting her phone to curse her. The overwhelming scolding voices collapsed the mountain Zhu Mengqi stood on. When she looked at the comments, she felt like she was going crazy. Finally, she impulsively said that she would protest her innocence with her death, pulled out her jump rope, and hung herself off a chandelier.

But her death didn’t stir up any ripples.

Everyone merely discussed it for a few sentences and went on with their usual lives afterwards, completely forgetting her.

Zhu Mengqi only regretted dying after the fact, hating that she couldn’t have dated while she was still alive, hating the fact that she was a virgin ghost.

In order to fulfil her wish of dating a celebrity, Zhu Mengqi had come to the Dongcheng TV studio, thinking that there were many handsome ges there. Maybe she would meet one suitable for her.

It hadn’t been long since Zhu Mengqi had arrived when ‘Birth of an Idol’ began recording by coincidence. Suddenly there were a hundred xiao gege. The female ghost was overjoyed, she had always felt that her dreams of dating could come true.

To be honest, if she could choose, the dating partner she wanted the most was Ji Xiunian.

After all, out of all the people, Ji Xiunian really was the most handsome and the one with the most class. He was also the first person to see her.

It was a pity Ji Xiunian always had Lu Xu by his side. No matter how greedy she was, she didn’t dare.

She had originally thought whoever took her rope would become her boyfriend and that she would bring him to the underworld to accompany her. But in the end, the person who first took her rope was Lu Xu. Even if she had heaven-defying courage, she wouldn’t dare date the grim reaper.

Just as she was thinking of finding the opportunity to take the rope back and leaving this place, the owner of the rope suddenly changed.

She followed the path of the rope and saw Han Tianyu’s face. The little deer in her heart came back alive.

He was handsome and was even an A-rank member. Although he wasn’t as good as Ji Xiunian, he was still okay.

Using the strength of the rope, Zhu Mengqi appeared in Han Tianyu’s dreams over and over again. She had originally planned on creating a seal tonight to take him away tomorrow, but Lu Xu had suddenly appeared.

Although Lu Xu looked completely innocent and harmless, only ghosts knew his real face.

Zhu Mengqi wailed in a ghastly manner, resolutely not cooperating with Lu Xu’s work.

“Wuwuwu, if I don’t date, there’s no point in being a person or a ghost…”

Lu Xu really couldn’t understand this kind of one-track dating obsession and gave her a piece of advice. “There are a lot of blind dating opportunities in the underworld. There are a few recently dead young celebrities who have just registered and they haven’t met a partner they’ve liked yet. But if you continue delaying it…”

The Zhu Mengqi who had been weeping immediately stopped her crying and looked pitifully at Lu Xu. “They’re really celebrities?”

“Yes.” Lu Xu casually said a few names and saw Zhu Mengqi’s eyes light up.

She urged him, “Master, I want to report to the underworld, I desperately want to go where I ought to go…”

Lu xu raised his eyebrows and opened up the grim reaper app to record Zhu Mengqi’s updated information. Immediately after, he asked her to confirm the information and sign it.

In less than a day, Lu Xu had already sent off the corpses in Devil’s Bay and Zhu Mengqi. There was no need to mention his professional abilities.

It was just that he could only get this chance due to the mistakes in the work of the Southwest Grim Reaper Bureau. He guessed the other side would probably receive a lot of criticism and substantial punishment.

But this had nothing to do with him. After all, one reaped the seeds they sowed. Since there was a failure in the workplace, the consequences naturally had to be borne.

Lu Xu left Han Tianyu’s dream after sending Zhu Mengqi off. Han Tianyu was currently sleeping deeply, his brows finally relaxed.

“Have a nice dream.” Lu Xu said a few words softly and then turned over to lie in his own bed.

The next morning, Han Tianyu got up yawning, only feeling the lingering sweetness of a good night’s sleep.

Xu Haoming saw him get up from the bed and thought of the woman in the dream Han Tianyu had told him before. He couldn’t help but ask, “Xu ge, did you dream of the female ghost last night? Did she turn around?”

“I saw it.” Thinking of yesterday’s scene of the female ghost turning around, Han Tianyu was still a little panicked. “Her mouth was really big, her tongue really long…”

Xu Haoming didn’t understand what kind of description this was. He blanked for a while before saying, “You guys used your tongues when doing the kissy kiss?”

“What the hell! You go kissy kiss it!” When Han Tianyu heard “kissy kiss” he thought of the seal the female ghost had spoken of and almost exploded. “She did want to kiss me, but good thing Xu ge was in my dream.”

“Xu ge went into your dream?” Xu Haoming thought this was very strange and couldn’t help asking about it.

“Mn.” Han Tianyu subconsciously glanced at Lu Xu and scratched at his head as he smiled. “I guess Xu ge’s comfort earlier worked. Not long after I dreamed of the female ghost, Xu ge came out and saved me from the danger.”

“Hahaha, then you really have to thank Xu ge well.”

They chatted and laughed, clearly taking this event as just a dream.

Even Han Tianyu didn’t think anything else of it. He only inexplicably felt that the nightmare wouldn’t appear again.

After a few words with Xu Haoming, he went to wash up. For some reason, the sensation of the water hitting against his face felt like saliva. When he thought of the scene of the female ghost using her tongue to lick his face in the dream, Han Tianyu immediately felt dumbstruck and suddenly had some doubt as to whether it had been a dream or reality.

When he finished washing his face and came out, he saw Lu Xu take out a rope from his drawers and throw it into the trash bin.

Hanged ghost…

Rope…

Han Tianyu didn’t know why he would connect those two events, but after he had this thought, he couldn’t help but feel afraid.

Lu Xu noticed his gaze and raised his head to smile at him. “The rope isn’t clean, I’m throwing it away.”

Han Tianyu was stunned. “Okay.”

When it was time for them to go out for today’s recording, the Lu Xu walking by Han Tianyu’s side suddenly said, “In the future, don’t randomly touch things that aren’t yours.”

Han Tianyu inexplicably thought of the rope, and immediately nodded furiously—

No matter if last night had been a dream or not, he couldn’t go wrong with listening to Lu Xu aaaaaaaaaaaa.
