"Next day."
The sky is clear and the air is fresh.
Zhou Qi slowly woke up from her sleep.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of pitifully white eyes.
"Aaah! Ghosts!"
Thump!
This is almost an instinctual reaction from the body.
While screaming, Zhou Qi swung her fists with great force.
One punch landed, and Zhou Qi immediately sent the ghost image flying several meters, directly sending it out of the wall.
"Ahem, cough, cough, master... owner..."
In the next room, Guochēbǎobǎo is miserable.
It didn't know how it suddenly transformed into a human shape, and even more so, it was the form of a child, which instantly plunged it into confusion.
Because Zhou Qi was still asleep, Guochēbǎobǎo decided to go outside and see the world through human eyes.
To the horror of Guochēbǎobǎo, as soon as it stepped out of Zhou Qi's room and basked in the sunlight, a burning sensation swept over its entire body.
The just condensed ghost body was even burned away by half in an instant.
This scared Guochēbǎobǎo so much that he crawled back to the room, waiting quietly for Zhou Qi to wake up.
Then, it was knocked flying by Zhou Qi's powerful punch.
Fortunately, Zhou Qi didn't swing her fist towards the window direction.
Otherwise, who knows if Guochēbǎobǎo would have been burnt to ashes by the sun right now!
At the dining table, while eating the street food brought back from last night, Zhou Qi and Guochēbǎobǎo stared at each other with big eyes.
"Master, why did I suddenly become a mother without pain?"
She's a beautiful young girl without a boyfriend!
"So, you're that ghost car downstairs?"
Zhou Qi, in her pajamas, frustratedly scratched her hair.
"Hmm, yes, I'm your master!"
Guochēbǎobǎo quickly nodded his head.
"No, how did you become a car and then a person? Then what will I do for work next?"
As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to return from extravagance to frugality.
After getting used to the life of having a private car, it would be difficult for Zhou Qi to take public buses and subways again.
Absolutely not! It's impossible!
"Master, please rest assured, I..."
Guochēbǎobǎo was just about to explain, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Qi interrupted him directly.
"Stop calling me master! I don't have any strange fetishes!"
"And to be fair, why do you look like a baby? Your mileage is definitely over 100,000, right?"
Zhou Qi looked at Guochēbǎobǎo with some annoyance.
To be honest, the essence of the ghost car is actually a Volkswagen that has been produced for over a decade.
The mileage on the dashboard is as high as 140,000 kilometers.
As what Yōu Shí Lù would say, this broken-down car is lucky to have become a ghost, otherwise it would definitely have to be sent for scrap.
If you calculate its human age, this car should be an old man at least.
How did it become a baby?
"Uh... master..."
"Call me Zhou sister."
"All right, Master Zhou Sister, I'm not sure why either. Maybe it's because I just transformed? As a ghost, I've only been around for a month or so?"
Guochēbǎobǎo counted his fingers to calculate.
Don't judge this little guy by his appearance as a baby.
However, when it first became a ghost car, it was the ride of the Green Hat Ghost Driver.
Under the influence of the Green Hat Ghost Driver, it knows a lot.
It has a bit of knowledge about both what should and shouldn't be known.
It's called, a bit knows a bit.
"Is that okay? Does that mean if I become a ghost, I can also start from a baby again?"
Zhou Qi's eyes brightened up instantly.
"Stop dreaming!"
Then, Yōu Shí Lù's voice outside shattered Zhou Qi's daydream.
Busy all night, Yōu Shí Lù saw Guochēbǎobǎo's figure as soon as he came back and immediately approached with curiosity to look at him.
"Phew, impressive. You've managed to successfully transform in just one short month. If this news were to spread back to the underworld, those old folks might rip your ghost body apart and tear into your soul to see what it's all about."
Ignoring Guochēbǎobǎo's pale complexion, Yōu Shí Lù walked around him, marveling with a "Wow, wow."
Yōu Shí Lù's gaze occasionally wandered to Zhou Qi's body.
Seems the sixth prince was right.
This Zhou girl definitely has some connection with the God of the Underworld.
Otherwise, why should this ghost car transform?
A newly born ghost wants to successfully transform.
Or, it created endless killings, absorbing enough resentment.
Or, it received external nourishment, gaining countless yin energy.
From the clear eyes of Guochēbǎobǎo, it seems like the latter.
Moreover, the aura around Guochēbǎobǎo is similar to Zhou Qi's, indicating that it has quickly taken shape under Zhou Qi's nourishment.
As far as Yōu Shí Lù knows, in the heavens and earth, only the King of the Underworld can do this without any aid from any treasure, just one person!
Really, it's the reincarnation of the King of the Underworld!
Yōu Shí Lù's attitude instantly became more respectful.
The respect was so overwhelming that Zhou Qi felt slightly uncomfortable.
"No, what do you want me to do, why did you summon me so early in the morning?"
Zhou Qi endured the discomfort and asked.
"No problem, no problem. I am your ghost, right? A ghost naturally should stay by the side of the master of ghosts. Otherwise, what if someone else notices something's off?"
Yōu Shí Lù quickly explained.
His tone was unbearably flattering.
Zhou Qi stared at Yōu Shí Lù with a peculiar expression for a moment.
Seeing that this guy wasn't joking, Zhou Qi allowed Yōu Shí Lù to follow him.
What else should I do?
She didn't know how to send this guy away.
With two big and small baggage, Zhou Qi walked to the entrance of the apartment building.
As soon as Zhou Qi was about to take a step out, Guochēbǎobǎo showed strong resistance.
"No, no, Master Zhou Sister, I can't go out! The sunlight during the day is too dazzling."
Guochēbǎobǎo shook his head like a jumping bean.
"Idiot, just turn back into a car key. The world only restricts ghosts, not ghost objects. Otherwise, how did you get out in broad daylight earlier?"
Yōu Shí Lù rolled his eyes dramatically upon hearing this.
"Hmm, so?"
Guochēbǎobǎo nodded mechanically, a burst of white light flashed across his body, and his figure transformed back into an old car key.
Indeed, as a car key-shaped ghost object, Guochēbǎobǎo faced no hindrance and simply bathed in the sunlight again so simply.
Later, the ghost car started up and headed towards the mental hospital.
"Are you curious about the difference between ghosts and ghost objects?"
"It's quite simple. Ghosts are the spirits born from resentment or lingering thoughts, without bodies, and thus they are not tolerated by the heavens and earth."
"Until the appearance of the Six Paths of Rebirth, ghosts had their own missions, which led to the birth of the Yama's Underworld forces headed by the King of the Underworld."
"However, ghost objects have bodies themselves. They are just born with spiritual intelligence due to the influence of resentment, so they are not restricted by the heavens and earth."
Before Zhou Qi could even open her mouth, she just glanced at Yōu Shí Lù as she turned her head.
Yōu Shí Lù seemed to be like a worm in Zhou Qi's stomach, or like a lackey of Zhou Qi's, immediately answering Zhou Qi's unasked questions.
Zhou Qi's discomforting feeling in her heart became more and more apparent!
