When the atmosphere inside the bus reached its peak of tension, and all the passengers were eyeing the box in Qin Nuo's hand with predatory intent, Qin Nuo suddenly stood up and walked toward the back of the bus.
Everyone was taken aback.
What was he going to do?
Even the Mummy ghost sitting in the last seat was stunned.
Then, it saw Qin Nuo's right hand suddenly covered with corpse spots, exuding a strong corpse aura.
A blood-red eye opened on the back of his hand.
"Half-Ghost?!"
The Mummy ghost's expression changed.
Qin Nuo took a sudden step forward and slapped it hard.
The Mummy ghost, horrified, tried to dodge, but that blood-red eye seemed to carry some kind of magic. The moment they locked eyes, its head spun wildly.
Within two seconds, it lost consciousness.
Bang!!
The slap landed with terrifying force, smashing the Mummy ghost's head against the bus's body, piercing through the thick iron sheet.
The Mummy ghost pulled its head back, its eyes blazing with fury: "You!!"
"What do you mean 'you'? I'm slapping you! You've been acting all weird since earlier, feeling itchy, huh?"
This wasn't Qin Nuo speaking; it was the Blood-Eyed Ghost.
It had been annoyed by this ghost for a while.
The Mummy ghost was clearly triggered, its entire body of rotten bandages loosening, revealing decaying flesh.
A hand reached for Qin Nuo's head.
Qin Nuo raised his right hand and swung it fiercely. With a ripping sound, the Mummy ghost's arm flew off, smashing against the bus window, a mess of flesh and blood.
The Mummy ghost looked bewildered.
"Use this to finish it!" Qin Nuo took a human bone nail from the toolbar and held it in his right hand.
He slapped the Mummy ghost's head with his right hand, driving the bone nail deep into its skull.

The Mummy ghost let out a piercing scream, its body decaying at a visible speed.
In just a few seconds, all that was left on the seat was a pile of scattered bandages and a mess of rotten flesh.
Qin Nuo adjusted his attire, turned to the bewildered passengers, and smiled, "Sorry for the disturbance, everyone. I just don't like ghosts buzzing around like flies on the bus, so I gave it a little lesson."
"Everything's fine now, everyone can go about their business."
With that, Qin Nuo returned to his seat.
The ghosts exchanged glances.
You call that a little lesson?
Damn, it's turned into a pile of mush!
Many ghosts looked at Qin Nuo, especially his right hand, with deep fear and dread.
Some ghosts who had stood up and were ready to act sat back down obediently after witnessing this.
Who would have thought that this human was a Half-Ghost and so ruthless?
In the bus, in front of all the ghosts, he took out a ghost!
The heavy atmosphere inside the bus suddenly eased a lot.
Qin Nuo glanced around, his body gradually relaxing.
The tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkey works on anyone, even ghosts.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, no doubt.
Before long, the bus reached the Nether Springs Restaurant stop.
Qin Nuo got off the bus with the box and headed toward the restaurant.
The restaurant door was open.
In fact, the lights inside were still bright, but it was eerily quiet, not a ghost in sight.
As Qin Nuo stepped into the restaurant lobby, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"I didn't expect you to come back alive," Pinocchio said.
Qin Nuo tossed the box to it, expressionless, "I've completed the task. I hope you're a boss who keeps his word."
Pinocchio glanced at the box, then at Qin Nuo, "Don't worry, the Nether Springs Restaurant never owes its employees anything."
"Go back and rest. Be here on time tomorrow."
With that, Pinocchio left.
Qin Nuo stretched lazily, wondering how Liu Jiaqi's task went today.
On his way back to the dorm, he stopped at the vending machine.
"A bottle of water, a cup of instant noodles, and two sausages," Qin Nuo said, patting the vending machine's newly repaired metal.
With a clatter, everything Qin Nuo wanted rolled out.
The vending machine ghost glanced at Qin Nuo, as if it had discovered something, and suspiciously said, "There's something off about your body."
Then, it suddenly exclaimed in horror, "When did you get a ghost inside you?"
It not only sensed the presence of the Blood-Eyed Ghost.
But also sensed it was a terrifying ghost!
"What's all the fuss about? It's just a ghost, it won't eat you."
Qin Nuo took a sip of water, speaking nonchalantly, and walked away with his food.
The vending machine ghost broke into a cold sweat, now even more fearful of Qin Nuo.
Dorm 404.
Liu Jiaqi huddled at the edge of her bed, trembling all over, looking at the empty bed next to her, on the verge of tears.
"Wang Yang was taken by a ghost, and Qin Nuo was killed by Pinocchio. Tomorrow it'll definitely be me."
"Sob, mom, I can't go back to see you, I'm sorry..."
Just as Liu Jiaqi was about to cry out, the doorknob suddenly turned.
Liu Jiaqi's face filled with terror, she quickly got out of bed and grabbed a pair of scissors from the table.
The door opened, dim light spilling in.
A figure appeared at the door.
Liu Jiaqi gripped the scissors tightly, screaming as she lunged at the figure.
Qin Nuo easily disarmed her, tossing her onto the bed, and threw the scissors back onto the table with his other hand.
"If a ghost really came in, you'd be better off using those scissors to end yourself rather than trying to stab it."
Qin Nuo said as he tore open the instant noodle package on the table and started boiling water with the kettle.
Liu Jiaqi was stunned.
It took her a few seconds to react, tears of joy streaming down her face, "You're... you're not dead?"
Qin Nuo chuckled, "Why does that sound like you're cursing me?"
"Sob, you don't know how worried I was about you. I thought you were a goner, and I wouldn't survive leaving here either!"
Liu Jiaqi threw herself onto Qin Nuo, crying her heart out, releasing all her pent-up emotions.
Qin Nuo said helplessly, "Cry later, let me eat something first, okay?"
A beauty throwing herself at him was something Qin Nuo, a single guy for over ten years, could only dream of.
But now he was too hungry to care, he just wanted to fill his stomach.
"I still have some food left, instant noodles won't fill you up, let me get it for you!"
Liu Jiaqi wiped her tears, smiling happily, and turned to open a drawer, taking out a lot of food for Qin Nuo.
She even seriously helped Qin Nuo heat it up, cleaned it, and placed it on the table.
Then, Liu Jiaqi sat obediently to the side, smiling, "Eat up."
This made Qin Nuo feel a bit embarrassed.
He scratched his head, "Thanks."
Then, disregarding his image, he began to devour the food.
After a while, Qin Nuo leaned back in his chair, satisfied, rubbing his belly.
Seeing Qin Nuo like this, Liu Jiaqi felt inexplicably happy, as if a beam of light had enveloped her in a dark world.
A sense of safety filled her.
Her face flushed, she instinctively reached for Qin Nuo's hand.
But she suddenly felt as if she was holding ice, and quickly pulled her hand back, startled.
Before she could react, the Blood-Eyed Ghost's cold voice came from Qin Nuo's right hand, "Human, don't touch me without permission!"
