749: Only I Have Read the Classic of Mountains and Seas!

【Urban · Fantasy · Mystery】

After crossing over to Blue Star, Zhao Xiang thought he would amount to nothing again, until he saw the other side of the world.

When he looked at the confidential 749 Bureau files, he saw:

"Headless man: headless, with breasts for eyes and a navel for a mouth, holding a spear and shield, with boundless strength..."

"Nine-tailed fox: an indefinite number of tails, with power seemingly increasing along with the number of tails, details not yet revealed..."

"This is... Xingtian and the nine-tailed fox?"

"What Xingtian and the nine-tailed fox?"

As Zhao Xiang looked at the confused agents, he suddenly realized that this world did not have 《The Classic of Mountains and Seas》, 《Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio》, or 《Records of the Taiping Era》...

The moment his fingertip touched Xingtian's skin and he softly uttered the word "Xingtian," the long-sealed ancient tome in his mind suddenly turned its pages.

"Xingtian: fought the Heavenly Emperor for godhood, was beheaded, and buried headless on Mount Changyang, yet still 'wielded his spear and shield in dance,' fighting on without end..."

Xingtian's power instantly surged through his body.

From then on, Zhao Xiang, codenamed [Xianshi], stepped into the secret realms with the ability to extract the bizarre.

"Believe me! I really saw five ghosts last night! When I opened my eyes, there was one with no eyes pressed right up against my face, and the other three had no eyes too, with only one single-eyed one among them. I panicked and turned on the flashlight, and they vanished at once!"

"Please calm down, sir. We believe you, but ghosts are indeed bizarre and difficult to deal with, and we also need some time to investigate..."

Zhao Xiang: "Five ghosts appearing in Zhejiang, four without eyes and one single-eyed, afraid of light, plus the recent plague spreading... it's the Five Strange Ghosts."

Five Strange Ghosts: "..."

"This isn't even pretending anymore."
