Three days passed quickly.
Today, everything was as usual on the campus of Sea University.
Adam Jennings walked through the campus with a somewhat grim expression.
Because he was concerned about what Elias Quinn had mentioned, he had been discreetly inquiring over the past two days if any students had taken out campus loans or had been collectively coerced.
The result was, of course, fruitless.
Then last night, he returned to the dormitory, only to find his roommates lighting candles with the door closed, summoning a Ghost Immortal!
When Adam saw that scene, his temples throbbed.
"What are you guys doing?"
Since witnessing Scarlett Jennings’ abilities, he had become particularly sensitive to such things.
His roommates saw him return and greeted him cheerfully,
"Summoning a Ghost Immortal! You’ve been inquiring about things at school these last few days, right? Why not just ask the Ghost Immortal directly? It must know."
Adam looked at his roommates then, his gaze as if he were looking at lunatics,
"You guys are really not afraid of dying..."
"They say metaphysics exists, but we’ve never seen it, right? Let’s give it a try.
Don’t worry, we won’t suddenly interrupt like in those movies. We’ll strictly follow the procedure."
Adam tried persuading them again, but seeing he couldn’t dissuade them, he simply stopped.
As for joining them, that’s something he absolutely wouldn’t do even if threatened with death.
Adam, holding his phone, began browsing the campus forum, while his roommates, as they said, strictly followed the procedure to summon the Ghost Immortal.
After all, students who can get into Sea University have this level of rigor.
Who knows how much time passed, but Adam felt as if the warmth in the room was no longer as warm. He instinctively looked up and immediately saw a scene that almost made him faint.
His three roommates were still seriously talking to the paper diagram for summoning, none of them aware that at some point, a female ghost in a long white dress with long hair had appeared beside them.
At the moment Adam gazed at her, the female ghost noticed Adam’s presence, her eerie, ghastly face looking at him hauntingly.
The instant their eyes met, she chose to abandon the three roommates and drifted directly towards Adam.
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Adam’s mind.
Call Scarlett Jennings? Too late.
Amulet? He had it around his neck, so he wasn’t afraid, but while he had one, his three foolish roommates did not.
Ultimately, he chose the most straightforward method.
He met the female ghost’s gaze fiercely, staring back at her, and with his inner energy gathered, he shouted forcefully,
"Go away!"
When human and ghost meet, the one with the stronger momentum wins.
Adam’s fierce shout not only startled the female ghost but also made the three roommates jump in fright, almost making them err.
After realizing, the female ghost seemed to want to approach and say something.
The next second, however, her gaze met the Benedict Jade displayed in a glass box on the shelf behind Adam.
The Jade Turtle slightly raised its eyes at some point, and in that glance, her soul body trembled, her face panicked, and she immediately vanished from the dormitory.
Only when the temperature in the dormitory returned to normal, gripping the amulet tightly on his chest, assured that the female ghost was truly gone, did he finally let out a massive sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, his aura was now so strong.
He could actually scare a ghost away.
His three roommates, surprised by him, still followed the procedure to send off the Ghost Immortal, before complaining to Adam.
He almost broke their "ceremony."
Adam didn’t even have the mood to curse.
He was determined to apply for off-campus residence tomorrow, making sure to stay away from these three idiots.
Because of this incident, Adam couldn’t sleep well all night, even dreaming again of the Benedict Turtle opening its mouth towards him.
And saying it was hungry!
...
Worried about what might happen today, Adam rarely skipped class and directly messaged Scarlett Jennings.
Asking when she’d come to the campus today.
