I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 7
Advertisement
Brian was indifferent to Celia's prank.
He had seen mirror ghosts before. How could he be scared by her poor acting skills?
Brian slammed the window shut and wiped his hand across Celia's face.
He sniffed the red lipstick left on his fingertips, which came with a faint fragrance.
"Nice lip balm, but, dear lady in high heels, ghosts don't have shadows. You'd look more like one if you kept them."
Celia was stunned initially before gently wiping the red lipstick from her face.
"Everything in the world has shadows. How can there be something without shadows?"
That's right, this world had not been taught about ghosts, so it was normal for her not to know.
Brian said calmly, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't. There are no shadows among the ghosts."
Celia, who had always advocated materialism, did not believe in ghosts and monsters since the beginning. She felt that this was just a lie to attract attention.
Seeing that the prank did not scare Brian, she said in a teasing tone.
"Okay, if the ghost really exists, call him out. If there's really no shadow, I'll believe you!"
Brian spread his hands in a gesture of helplessness.
How was he going to prove it? Was he going to bring out the Mirror Ghost Lamborghini and reveal himself?
He had already said what he needed to say. Since they did not believe him, there was nothing he could do.
"You'll know whether demons and monsters exist in the future. I don't like to bicker with women, especially women in high heels."
With that said, he looked out of the car window.
"So what if I'm wearing heels? I'm not only wearing heels today, I'm also wearing black stockings. Do you want to see…"
As she spoke, she lifted her slender legs and placed them on the front seat.
Brian glanced sideways, unable to stop his little heart from pounding. He quickly looked away and stared out the window.
The river outside the window was just like how he was feeling right now. The boat bobbed up and down like water.
"How is it? Does it look good?"

Brian would be a fool to fall for it again. He ignored her.
She continued to count the warning signs that prevented her from entering the water.
"It's so beautiful. The night sky at the school is pretty good. It's rare to see such beautiful scenery."
Celia was slightly startled and grudgingly stopped what she was doing.
"Very well then. Since you do not wish to see it, I ahall not disturb you any longer. You ignorant big liar."
With that, Celia turned away.
…
"Wait, what did you just say?"
"I said, you can enjoy your beautiful scenery here. I won't disturb you anymore."
"No, what did you just call me?"
"Big liar! Unromantic!"
Huh?
'It's fine if you call me a big liar, but you actually called me unromantic. Do I, Brian, look like that kind of person?'
Sure enough, beautiful women were so unreasonable! Brian shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, the system suddenly appeared.
"Ding! Mission target has appeared. Host, please take note."
Brian heard the familiar prompt and looked behind her. He had an idea.
'It would be rude not to come. Enjoy the surprise, lady in high heels.'
Brian's lips curved into a smile. He said in a surly voice.
"Alright, didn't you want to know if a real ghost has a shadow? Then, please turn around and take a look, my dear lady in high heels."
What was this big liar up to again? But from his expression, it did not seem like he was lying.
Was there really something behind her?
The half-believing Celia was now facing Brian. She turned disdainfully to look behind her.
"What? Where is the shadowless ghost? Why can't I see it?"
Brian did not say anything and pointed out the window.
She nodded and looked over.
"Trying to scare me? You're still too inexperienced…"
Before he could finish, Celia froze.
A pale and naked woman appeared in his line of sight.
More accurately, she appeared in the river beside the road.
Due to being soaked in water for a long time, her skin had turned completely white. At this moment, she was struggling and crying for help in the turbulent river. Several times, she was submerged by the water and miraculously floated back up. She continued to shout.

After spotting the car, the woman turned around and waved at them.
"Someone fell into the water. Quick, save him," said Celia quickly.
The driver's driving skills were not bad. With the sound of brakes, the car stopped steadily by the roadside.
Celia rushed out of the car before the driver could come to open the door.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Celia took out her phone to contact the rescue team, but the line was busy.
"Damn it! Why is there no signal at this time!"
Strangely enough, the woman was able to keep up with the car when they were in the water. Now that they had stopped, the woman stopped as well.
It was the middle of the night and anyone would find it strange if they saw this. However, Celia, who was at the side, completely ignored these questions.
At this moment, there was only one car on the quiet road. The other members of the paranormal club had already returned home. They could only rely on themselves to save the people.
"Driver, save that woman and your salary will double this month."
"Gladly, Miss!"
Brian leaned against the hood of the car and lit a cigarette. He took his time and puffed.
Looking at their actions, he could not help but shake his head.
"Lady in high-heels with big boobs but no brains. If your driver goes down, he won't be able to come back."
The two people who were about to dive into the water to save her were stunned. Then, they turned around angrily.
Brian was leisurely smoking a cigarette. He did not seem to have any intention of saving anyone.
Bang! Bang!
Celia angrily took off her high heels, followed by the sound of something hard hitting the car.
"I was wrong just now. Not only are you a big liar, you're also a heartless bastard who refuses to help.
"Brian, you bastard!"
Brian was not angry. He smiled and picked up the shoes on the ground and placed them in the car.
"I'm a liar? I'm heartless? I leave you in the lurch? I'm an asshole?"
"Yes! Bastard Mr. Brian!"
"You are a complete liar and a heartless bastard who refuses to help. Are you satisfied now?"
Brian spat out a smoke ring and looked at the woman who was still crying for help in the river.
This woman was not simple. In other words, she was not human.
If it was not for the system notification, he would not have been able to differentiate it, let alone an ordinary person like Celia.
"If you had asked the driver to save her just now, you would have become that heartless bastard. That woman doesn't have a shadow."
"I can't save him without a shadow? I…"
What? No shadow?
Wasn't that…
"Do you know what you're talking about, Mr. Brian?"
Celia might have said that, but she stopped the driver, who was preparing to go into the water.
Celia, who had been eager to save them, did not think much of it. However, after hearing Brian's words, she also felt that something was amiss.
The time shown on the watch was three in the morning. It was normal for people to sleep at this time. Why would someone come out in the middle of the night?
Moreover, this river was a forbidden river in the Bluefields College. It was said that several students had gone into the water to swim but none of them had died. The paranormal club had originally planned to set up a gambling mission here, but because of the academy's warning, they could only put this matter aside.
Now that she thought about it, if she was really fine, with her relationship with the school, why would the school stop her in all ways!?
It was in the middle of the night and it was indeed unreasonable for someone to suddenly appear in this river and wave at one.
Damn it! Could it really be as this bastard said, what they saw were not humans?!

Covenant Sinners: The Origin of a Demon Queen
Demon-slayer knight Hector Aeronwen became an enemy of all humankind after saving a dying half-demon girl out of pity. Little did he know, his impulsive action had forever changed the course of the world and the fates of many. This is the story about Hector's desperate quest and the beginning of the demoness whose destiny is to shake the world to its very foundation. Author's note: At the risk of spoiling too much of this story, I want to reveal a bit about the core idea behind this work of fiction. I set out with the idea to write a story in the perspective of the second in command of a demon lord, which then would be followed up with large scale kingdom buildings and warring states. But then I asked myself: what past do they have between them for the Demon Lord to have so much faith in her second in command, and for him to be so loyal to such a horrible being? So this is my attempt at writing the origin of those two, who, while hated by all races in the world, still have each other as the only confidant to entrust their life to. If you are like me and want to see where this premise, with a vague destination in mind, will lead to, please have a read and give me your valued feedback!
