Lin Beiye suddenly understood and replied, “Hello, my name is Lin Beiye. I live in 404.”
The apartment building where Lin Beiye rented had five floors, with four units on each floor.
However, the floor he lived on was considered unlucky, so he was the only resident there for a long time.
Now that there was a new tenant, it took him by surprise.
Yao Zhihan smiled warmly and said softly, “I live in 403, right next door to you.”
Lin Beiye nodded slightly, his expression revealing little emotion.
At that moment, the elevator’s floor indicator stopped at the number “4.”
Lin Beiye gently pressed the elevator door open button and made a gesture inviting Yao Zhihan to go first.
Yao Zhihan blushed a little but didn’t refuse his kindness.
She stepped out lightly and walked toward her door.
Lin Beiye followed closely behind, their footsteps intertwining in the corridor.
Suddenly, Yao Zhihan broke the brief silence, turning her head with a hint of curiosity. “Are you a student?”
Lin Beiye was momentarily taken aback. “Aren’t you?”
Yao Zhihan shook her head gently and smiled. “Little brother, I’m not. I’m already an independent and mature member of society.”
Lin Beiye looked at her, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.
His gaze wandered up and down her figure before resting on her face. He smiled, “I thought you were a student like me.”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Beiye had already brushed past Yao Zhihan and entered his room, the door closing softly behind him.
Yao Zhihan stood frozen, wanting to say something more.
Seeing Lin Beiye’s cold demeanor, she pouted with a touch of dissatisfaction and turned to her own home.
However, the moment she stepped inside, her once lively and cute expression vanished, replaced by a cold and sinister smile.
Playing with her silky hair, she smirked, “So this is the student Sister Yan has her eye on... interesting...”
Meanwhile, in Lin Beiye’s room—
His eyes narrowed slightly. “Yao Zhihan... a contractor. She must have been sent by Li Yan to watch me.”
He hadn’t expected Li Yan to use a beauty trap to investigate him!
Fortunately, his system’s scanning function saved him from falling into Li Yan’s scheme.
Since the Ghost-Slaying Department wanted to investigate him, he decided to cooperate fully to dispel Li Yan’s suspicions.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Beiye sat on the edge of his bed.
After his battle with Zhao Qiang,
he had learned that there were reincarnated ghosts in the human realm.

Such ghosts, which were extremely difficult to detect, must be numerous.
Thinking of this, Lin Beiye suddenly realized a question.
Did the Ghost-Slaying Department know about the existence of reincarnated ghosts?
Frowning deeply, Lin Beiye fell into contemplation.
Minutes passed by, and he unknowingly drifted into sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already morning, sunlight streaming through the window onto his face.
Lin Beiye sat up abruptly, hastily tidying his disheveled clothes.
If he remembered correctly, today was the day for the fear test!
He hurried back to school, paying no mind to his appearance.
However, the moment he pushed open the door, he collided with Yao Zhihan, who was waiting there.
Luckily, Lin Beiye reacted quickly and caught her waist in time, preventing her from falling.
“Sister Yao, why are you at my door?” Lin Beiye asked, puzzled.
Yao Zhihan lowered her head shyly and whispered, “I just wanted to come say hello.”
Lin Beiye nodded casually and replied, “I see. Sister Yao, I have something to do, so I’ll go first.”
With that, he released her and hurried downstairs.
Watching Lin Beiye’s departing figure, Yao Zhihan proudly fiddled with the listening device in her hand.
“Little brother, don’t blame your sister for prying into your privacy.”
However, Lin Beiye had long anticipated this move from Yao Zhihan.
As soon as he reached downstairs, he carefully checked his clothes and pockets.
Sure enough, inside a pocket on the lining, he found the small listening device!
Lin Beiye had thought about discarding it casually, but then he reconsidered—if it caused trouble, it wouldn’t be worth it.
So he decided to keep it on himself, letting Yao Zhihan listen all she wanted!
Glancing at the time on his phone, Lin Beiye chose a relatively hidden street.
His figure darted swiftly through the streets like a ghostly breeze.
Before long, he arrived at school.
Yet today, the school was filled with an unusual atmosphere.
From a distance, several buses were neatly lined up at the school gate like imposing fortresses.
The school was bustling with people; parents came to see their children off.
Strangely,
the chaos from last night seemed to have been completely suppressed.
There was not a single trace left on campus!

As if nothing had ever happened!
Lin Beiye didn’t dare ask too many questions and continued along the familiar corridor toward his classroom.
When he arrived, he happened upon the teacher talking with several tearful middle-aged men and women.
These were probably the parents of the students who had been harmed last night.
Lin Beiye sighed silently and returned quietly to his seat.
Perhaps because of the upcoming fear test, the classroom was unusually noisy today.
Especially around Li Jinhe, a crowd of students had gathered.
They were mostly asking about the fear test.
Li Jinhe didn’t refuse, answering the classmates’ questions one by one.
At that moment, her gaze unconsciously shifted to Lin Beiye.
Li Jinhe parted her red lips and tentatively asked, “Lin Beiye, don’t you have any questions?”
Lin Beiye glanced back at her coolly, saying nothing, only shaking his head.
This scene undoubtedly irritated Li Jinhe.
She had kindly tried to remind Lin Beiye,
but he seemed eager to avoid any association with her, as if afraid of the slightest connection!
Li Jinhe snorted coldly, “I wasn’t going to tell you anyway!”
Some students nearby chimed in, “Jinhe, can’t you see he’s already given up? Why bother with him? You should share your experience with us instead.”
“Exactly. Lin Beiye hasn’t even listened to the teacher’s explanations these past few days. He clearly just wants to go through the motions.”
“If you ask me, it’s not that he hasn’t come to listen—he just doesn’t dare to.”
The students chattered on and on.
But Lin Beiye paid it no mind; the words went in one ear and out the other.
Suddenly, the teacher clapped and shouted, “Quiet down! Get ready to gather and head to the test site.”
The command instantly ignited the whole classroom.
Everyone lined up neatly and left the classroom.
Li Jinhe seized the opportunity, grabbing Lin Beiye’s sleeve. “We’re classmates, so I’ll give you a warning.”
“The ghosts in the fear test are all low-level types, but their nature is still to devour humans.”
“So if you can’t endure it, you must give up in time.”
