I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 19
Advertisement
The water ghost incident caused an uproar in the Special Department of the Bran Empire.
As the protagonist of the water ghost incident, Brian was naturally related.
The Special Department did not take the news seriously at first. They only wanted to find the creatures in the water and the missing people. However, after a thorough investigation, they found out that the water ghost had really disappeared. Combined with the livestream found by the information center, the higher-ups of the Special Department immediately locked onto the young man named Brian.
The Special Department had special privileges. They easily found Brian at the Bluefields College.
'D*mn! Am I going to some incredible place?!'
Everything went dark. Brian walked out and had his eyes covered in black cloth.
In the pitch-black darkness, he was helped onto a rumbling helicopter.
Brian now knew that the place they were going to was definitely not near. Otherwise, why would they use helicopters?
After about an hour, his vision cleared up.
Brian squinted around.
What greeted his eyes was an empty room with two tables and chairs facing each other. There was nothing around.
While Brian was looking around, a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked in.
"Hello! I'm the captain of this special mission team, Victor! I'm sorry to meet you in this manner!"
"Handsome Brian! I'm still a student."
Brian took Victor's large calloused hands in a gentlemanly manner and suddenly felt a tremendous force begin to pass through them.
'Oh? Want to test my skills?'
Brian's smile did not falter and he used some force in his hand.
Victor felt as if he was holding a pair of iron pliers. He could not move it even if he tried his best.
After receiving the ten point physical strength reward from the system last time, Brian's physical strength had surpassed that of an ordinary human. The concentrated and explosive strength caused the robust Victor to flush.

"Hehe! Mr. Brianis a young hero! It's rare!"
Seeing Victor's flushed cheeks, Brian withdrew his hand.
"Haha! I've always liked to work out since I was young. I've trained myself to be quite strong. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
'You call this brute strength?'
'Even an athlete who had been practicing grasping since young might not be better than you.' Victor quietly hid his trembling right hand behind his back.
"Since Mr. Brian is so smart, I won't beat around the bush. The department hopes to obtain a reasonable explanation for the water monster live-stream."
Indeed, they had brought him here because of the water ghost.
Brian did not think that it was Celia's fault. After all, even if there had not been a mistake during the live-stream, he would still be exposed to the authorities in the future.
The officials were not fools. It was only a matter of time before they noticed him.
He would have to face it sooner or later, so why not let it come earlier? This way, he could also prepare for it!
"Explain? Mr. Victor, what kind of explanation do you want?"
"Firstly, did you destroy the water ghost? Secondly, how did you destroy it? I want to hear the details."
"You believe that I can destroy the water ghost? You have to know that there are many different opinions on this matter online. Many people are suspecting that I'm faking it. Aren't you afraid that my words are fake?"
"We're only responsible for understanding the situation. As for whether it's true or not, someone will naturally verify it. Besides, I believe that Mr. Brian won't lie here. At the very least, he won't lie in front of me. Am I right?"
Their gazes met and an invisible pressure arose spontaneously.
"Hahaha! Handsome Brian never lies."
Indeed, he was not lying. He was only keeping half of it as per usual.

Brian had already prepared his speech about the water ghost. It sounded logical and reasonable.
An hour later, Victor looked uncomfortable.
He looked at the young man who was blabbering in shock and asked in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth… Does that thing really work on ghosts?"
"Mm! I don't know if the rest are useful, but they are quite useful against water ghosts."
Brian did not reveal the System's ability, but in order to dispel the Victor or the people behind Victor's speculation, he also revealed some valuable information.
This also explained why a student like him could deal with a water ghost.
When he thought about how all the soldiers in the Special Forces would unlace their belts and kill their enemies when they carried out missions in the future, it was indeed a little strange.
Victor looked at the smile on the young man's face and suddenly felt a chill!
Bang! Creak, creak, creak!
At this moment, the sound of a door being pushed open could be heard.
Brian smiled at the familiar high-heeled frequency.
"Fate brings us together from thousands of miles away. It's amazing that we can meet in such a big city like Gro City!"
He followed the footsteps.
Celia was ushered in by the soldiers.
A faint fragrance wafted over and the smile on Brian's face grew wider.
"My dear lady in high heels, may I have the honor to have dinner with you tonight? We can go to my castle. After we finish eating, we can watch an imported movie together!"
For some reason, every time he met Celia, he would always want to tease her.
At that moment, a pleasant ringing sound came from his pocket, interrupting their conversation.
"You are my Little Apple, no matter how much I love you, it's not enough…"1
Brian awkwardly pressed the answer button.
"Hey! I'm handsome Brian!"
"Celebrity Brian, have you seen the news today?"
Brian looked at the caller ID on his phone — Old Bu.He was a little confused.
This was indeed his cheap father. Why was there a female voice on the phone?
Also, this voice sounded familiar. What did it mean to let him watch the news?
"Selina?"
The other party did not reply and only left a sentence.
"I'll give you an hour to return to the castle. I'll wait for you there."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
After some hesitation, the call ended.
Because it was on speaker mode, everyone heard their conversation clearly.
Victor and the other soldiers were fine, except for Celia, who looked a little upset!
Brian was about to explain when Celia covered his eyes with a black cloth.
"You bastard, Mr. Brian. You have the best candidate for dinner now. Get lost!"
Under Celia's murderous gaze, several soldiers stepped forward to help Brian away.
Watching the young man leave, Victor said in a low voice, "Miss! Are we letting him go just like that? What about the next mission?"
Celia angrily took off her high heels, followed by the sound of two heavy objects hitting the wall.
On closer look, the high heels were like sharp blades that were embedded two to three centimeters into the wall. It was very scary!
Gulp! What had made this miss angry again?
"Hmph! I don't believe that we can successfully complete the mission even without him!"
"But…"
"No buts. Do you have a problem with what I do? If you have a problem with it, feel free to respond to the higher-ups!"
'But wasn't this person recommended by you?' Victor was depressed!
Celia coldly snorted. "Hmph! We'll settle that matter ourselves. Even without him, I can still settle it!"

8 223Through Mist, Veil, and Summer
Anna Lawrence is a quiet girl who'd rather sit and write poetry than bustle about with her peers. After an incident resulting in a panic attack and a trip to the hospital, Anna's foster mother sends her to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer. Upon arriving in the small mountain town of Glenwood, Anna finds herself caught in the machinations of another world on the other side of the fog: warring witches, animal-headed skypirates, and the boldest, bravest, most interesting girl Anna has ever met. THROUGH MIST, VEIL, AND SUMMER is my homage to Studio Ghibli films. It's a fantasy romance with a dash of adventure and a sprinkling of self-contemplation. It's a story that moves a little slower, a little quieter. It is my fourth novel, written between October 1, 2017 and January 6, 2019.
