Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

When Tianshu opened the cloth sack,

several spirits soon walked in from outside the alley.

Most were children, dressed in ragged clothes, with sallow, gaunt faces.

There were even some with missing arms or legs.

They all knew that at this time every night, Tianshu would distribute supplies to those in need.

These spirits didn’t fight or scramble for the items.

They just quietly took what they needed.

Tianshu ruffled a small child’s hair.

The child was hugging a toy car, a nervous expression on their face.

"Sister Tianshu..."

"A group of strangers came to the street, and they all have stars on them."

"You should run, so you don’t get captured again..."

Hearing this, Tianshu wasn’t surprised.

The entirety of Wailing Street knew of her existence.

The vast majority of the spirits had received her help.

You could say,

they were all her eyes and ears.

No matter who entered, the residents of Wailing Street would know immediately and come to inform her.

Moreover, since Wailing Street was filled with mentally unstable spirits—a gathering place for those called madmen, fools, cripples, and blindmen—

they were completely incapable of working on an assembly line.

The Purgatory Factory had no intention of rounding up all these spirits.

It considered this group of spirits not even worthy of being consumables.

Besides, a few powerful Evil Stars were hidden in its depths.

That’s why the spirits who came to carry out missions

never had the resolve to completely fall out with Wailing Street.

They were there to complete a mission and get promoted.

Not to get themselves killed.

"Is that so?"

Tianshu’s expression was a little strange.

In the past, the factory employees always had all sorts of plans.

For example, disguising themselves as native residents of Wailing Street.

A plan like that would be exposed the moment they set foot in Wailing Street.

Others tried to kidnap a few spirits to force her out.

Those employees would be dealt with by the spirits deep within Wailing Street.

But to just walk in so openly and foolishly...

This was the first time Tianshu had ever seen such a thing.

’These people are either complete idiots!’

’Or they have absolute confidence!’

"Don’t be afraid. I’m the best at escaping."

Tianshu’s clear voice echoed in the alley.

She soothed the child in front of her.

Then, she murmured to herself.

"But... are they underestimating me a little too much."

"This little mouse is going to have some fun with them this time!"

...

「A short while later.」

Yun Zhenyue’s group of four arrived at Wailing Street.

It was late at night when they arrived.

The air was thick with a rotten, yet faintly sweet and fishy smell.

The crooked old houses on both sides cast shadows that made one’s hair stand on end, and the tattered lanterns hanging from the eaves swayed in the wind, as if someone was spying on them.

A fat rat crouched at the mouth of a nearby alley.

Its pitch-black eyes reflected the four figures.

The group felt a little uneasy.

The factory employees were either numb or passionate.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs.

No one would pry into another’s secrets for no reason.

But here on Wailing Street, it felt as if they were being watched by countless invisible eyes.

"No wonder that big mouse is so hard to catch. I feel like this whole street is helping her."

Xiao Jiu complained, waving her small hammer.

"So, Big Sis, where do we start?"

’Where to start?’

Yun Zhenyue glanced around Wailing Street.

’All I have to do is deliver the message anyway.’

’For these three days, I’ll just pretend to work hard at catching Tianshu while actually slacking off and leeching some contribution points.’

Just then, a clattering sound came from the alley ahead!

The group’s gazes instinctively shot toward it.

A furtive little boy was peeking at them from behind a wall.

When he noticed them looking, the little boy frantically ran off into the alley.

In his panic, he accidentally knocked over a trash can.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu’s eyes widened. She hurriedly grabbed Yun Zhenyue’s arm and said, "Big Sis, it’s a scout! We have to hurry and catch him!"

Li Ruxue heard this and tried to stop them. "This is obviously a trap!"

That little boy clearly wanted to lure them into that alley.

According to the files,

Tianshu has a strong preference for narrow alleys like this one.

She can use her Ghost Skill Bewitching Array to its greatest effect there.

’A trap?’

Yun Zhenyue’s eyes lit up!

’A trap is exactly what I want!’

’Especially one that highlights the mission’s difficulty!’

’That way, my intention to cause trouble will be harder to spot.’

"I don’t think it’s a trap. That Tianshu must be scared of us."

"The more the enemy fears us, the more it proves we’re doing the right thing!"

Yun Zhenyue made an instant decision!

She grabbed Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ba and charged into the alley!

Seeing this, Li Ruxue bit her lip.

Her heart was filled with complaints.

But she had no choice but to follow them into the alley.

...

「In the narrow alley.」

An overturned trash can rolled down the slight slope, and the ground was littered with garbage.

The little boy from before was nowhere to be seen.

"Did he get away?"

"What a pity. If we hadn’t hesitated, we might have caught him."

Yun Zhenyue sighed at the sight.

But her tone was extremely calm, as if she had expected this all along.

Li Ruxue: "..."

’Aren’t you just thrilled to see this happen?’

She was speechless.

Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ba didn’t notice anything amiss.

The two children didn’t understand the twisted workings of an adult’s mind.

Xiao Jiu mimicked Yun Zhenyue’s sigh. "What a crafty mouse!"

Xiao Ba: "Looks like this mission really is difficult."

Just then, a strange figure secretly appeared at the far end of the alley.

It was Tianshu.

She watched the bewildered group with great interest.

Xiao Jiu pointed in disbelief. "It’s her! She’s that Tianshu!"

Tianshu nodded, sizing them up with a hint of disappointment. "That’s right, it’s me."

"I thought you’d be a group of experts, but it turns out you’re just a bunch of fools."

"Two little brats, a ditz, and a psycho."

Yun Zhenyue felt a little uncomfortable being called a ditz.

’She was no longer naturally dense!’

’Wasn’t she just pretending to be a fool just now?’

’This Tianshu really doesn’t know how to talk to people!’

"You’d better be good and let us catch you. If we can’t catch you, the consequences will be severe."

Yun Zhenyue suppressed her discomfort and issued a deliberate threat.

As expected, Xiao Jiu, who was standing to the side, took the bait.

Pouting, she chimed in, "That’s right!"

"Dad said that if we can’t catch you, he’ll come and kill you himself!"

Hearing this, Tianshu looked a little surprised.

She looked at Yun Zhenyue.

She wasn’t so sure anymore.

’Could someone really be stupid enough to reveal such important information right at the start?’

She didn’t know who Xiao Jiu’s father was and thought they were just bluffing.

Tianshu decided to investigate it later.

For now, she would stick to the plan and tease the group in front of her.

Let them know that there was a price to pay for trying to catch her!

Tianshu looked at the fuming Xiao Jiu, a smirk playing on her lips. "What, you really want to catch me?"

"Then come and get me—"

With that, her figure vanished like a wisp of smoke.

The scene around Yun Zhenyue and the others changed abruptly.

Ahead of them, to the left and right, two new alleys had inexplicably appeared.

Tianshu’s giggling voice echoed from the depths of the alleys.

"Of these two alleys, only one leads to me."

"In the other, there’s a little punishment waiting for you."

"You have no way back. You can either find me, or you can beg for mercy. Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you go..."
