Ghost Catching System

In the man’s mind, the image of a precocious thirteen-year-old girl with an overly large chest appeared—his own niece under his command.

However, this voice sounded mature; could it be Ke Ke?

Chu Hao opened the tent and called out, "Ke Ke!?"

Ke Ke and another girl were dumbfounded as suddenly, a naked man covered in mud stood in front of them.

"Ah!"

The two girls screamed.

The man wore an awkward expression, realizing he’d forgotten he wasn’t wearing anything—a rogue image unfolding.

Later, the man found some leaves to cover the private parts, made a leaf apron, and prepared to meet Ke Ke.

He heard someone ask, "What happened?"

"There, there’s a ghost," the two girls trembled.

"Where’s the ghost?"

Ke Ke quickly said, "It really is a ghost; I saw he doesn’t have a shadow."

"No way! What bad luck, let me get a talisman," a boy’s voice said.

The man paused, looking down at the strangely bright moonlight that should be casting shadows.

"Where did my shadow go?"

This was Chu Hao, who had climbed out of a grave.

Chu Hao didn’t hesitate any more; he wanted to see Ke Ke, calling out, "Ke Ke, I’m Brother Chu Hao."

Ke Ke trembled with fear upon hearing someone call her name, mentioning they were Brother Chu Hao.

Ke Ke was shocked and tried to run away but her companion held her back.

"Don’t hold me; I want to see."

"Don’t go; that ghost is tricking you, looking for a substitute."

Chu Hao, speechless, directly appeared in front of everyone, causing them to scream as Zhou Jian quickly put a talisman on him.

Zhou Jian breathed a sigh of relief, chuckling, "It’s a Soul Stabilizing Talisman; it’s trapped by my talisman."

Everyone was overjoyed, thankful Zhou Jian brought the yin-yang talismans.

Suddenly, the ghost removed the Soul Stabilizing Talisman and returned it to Zhou Jian, saying, "I’m not a ghost."

Zhou Jian: "..."

"Ah!!"

The young man was scared into fainting.

"Ding... Host successfully showed off, gaining 40,000 Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao was overjoyed, saying, "System, you’re still here? I thought you left; I called for you but no response, you scared the hell out of me thinking I’ve really died."

System: "Uh... system was charging."

Chu Hao disdainfully said, "You were sleeping."

System: "Give me some face."

Chu Hao quickly said, "Ke Ke, I’m Chu Hao."

The other colleagues hid behind Ke Ke in fear, with Ke Ke saying fearfully, "I-I don’t know you."

Chu Hao looked puzzled; he distinctly remembered going to the creek to wash the mud off, so how did Ke Ke not recognize him?

He was 100% certain this big-chested beauty was Ke Ke, her looks and demeanor unchanged since childhood—how could she forget?

Chu Hao urgently said, "How can you not recognize me? You are Ke Ke, your chest is still that big, it must be right."

Ke Ke’s colleague fearfully said, "What do we do, what do we do, this is a lustful ghost aiming at Ke Ke’s chest."

Chu Hao’s head turned black.

Ke Ke gritted her teeth and said, "Don’t hurt my friends, I’ll go with you."

Chu Hao, with a headache, said, "Wait, I’m a bit confused, do you really not recognize me anymore?"

Ke Ke shook her head.

Chu Hao said, "When you were thirteen, I helped your family catch a ghost, how could you forget me?"

Ke Ke was surprised, saying, "You, you really are the big brother in the diary?"

"What diary?"

Ke Ke quickly took out a diary and handed it to Chu Hao.

"Today, Brother Chu Hao helped my family catch a ghost, dad finally stopped suffering, big brother is the most capable, I really like him."

"When I grow up, I must marry Brother Chu Hao! Oh... can’t wait to grow up."

Chu Hao closed the diary, falling into thought.

Finally, the girl next to Ke Ke said, "He, he looks like someone, didn’t you notice? He looks like the Holy Master of the Saint Master Hall."

The girl didn’t need to say it; their fear had made them forget.

Indeed.

Chu Hao really did resemble the statue of the Holy Master Hall.

Chu Hao laughed, "I am the Holy Master."

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, faces filled with disbelief.

The girl said, "The Holy Master is a legendary deity; how could you be him? Also, the appearance of the Holy Master was imagined by engineers."

Engineers imagined it?

Chu Hao was lost in thought once again.

These people didn’t remember me; Ke Ke didn’t remember me either.

Finally, everyone calmed down, confirming that Chu Hao wouldn’t harm them.

Chu Hao wore a set of clothes and sat by the campfire.

He felt helpless; seven years had passed in the blink of an eye.

The Dark Gold Curse Body’s ability saved his life, allowing physical restoration even when destroyed.

At that time, Chu Hao’s body was crushed by the Ghost Ancestor, nearly dead—being able to recover seemed quite fortunate.

However, Chu Hao only had a small accomplishment in the Dark Gold Curse Body, so recovery speed was extremely slow.

It took a full seven years.

Seven years?

Even Chu Hao couldn’t help but curse.

"Damn it."

Everyone jumped in shock.

Chu Hao asked, "Do you really not remember me?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then who do you think killed the Foreign Ghost?" Chu Hao asked.

Ke Ke quickly said, "The Holy Master manifested in the Human World and killed the Foreign Ghost, bringing peace to the land."

Chu Hao said, "I am the Holy Master; why don’t you remember me?"

"The image of the Holy Master is vague, he doesn’t want to be known, my memory doesn’t contain any memory of you, only the memory of the Holy Master saving all humans," Ke Ke said.

Chu Hao thought long and hard before remembering.

The Ghost Ancestor had swallowed his shadow.

Secret Shadow Ghost Curse.

Chu Hao asked, "System, how do I break the Secret Shadow Ghost Curse?"

System: "This ghost curse cannot be broken; the host needs to find and restore their shadow."

Even the system couldn’t help; he couldn’t create his own shadow, right?

So, he could only find the Ghost Ancestor.

Chu Hao rubbed Ke Ke’s head saying, "The little girl from before has grown up so much."

Ke Ke let her guard down around Chu Hao, blinking her pretty eyes continuously as she looked at him, having a special fondness for him.

Ke Ke pouted, batting away Chu Hao’s hand, saying, "I look older than you, I’m already twenty-three."

Chu Hao, wordless, touched his face, indeed looking around twenty.

Seven years passed, without any changes.

Chu Hao stood up, saying, "Alright, you all should head back first thing tomorrow morning."

Chu Hao was about to leave.

Suddenly, Ke Ke grabbed his sleeve, looking pitifully with watery eyes saying, "Don’t go."

Chu Hao felt warmed in his heart; this little girl liked him a lot, but this affection he feared he couldn’t accept.

How could he know about your childhood things?

You were something else entirely.

...

Chu Hao came to his grave, reached underneath the mound, and grabbed a large sword.

Knocking Demon Sword.

Back then, it was this sword that influenced him, in the deadly battle against the Ghost Ancestor.

This Knocking Demon Sword was genuinely demonic, nearly costing him his life.
