Champagne Avenue, No. 233.

Su Lu and Rod stepped outside, inhaling the cold night air deeply. Behind them, the two-story building had returned to its normal state.

“Is it safe to say we’ve dealt with it?”

Su Lu asked, still somewhat rattled.

“Hard to say… Though I found some evidence of demon worship inside his room, the degree of worship definitely cannot transform into a second-class evil spirit… Some things are being kept hidden because of Galan’s death,” Rod replied.

Su Lu had not even considered using a medium for communication as the idea of spirit possession filled him with wariness, especially in such a dangerous environment.

Rod, likewise, didn’t mention it and simply grimaced, “Although it seems like we’ve eradicated the evil spirit, in reality… this place might have attracted the attention of the demon or other existences. Something terrifying might suddenly burst out in a few years, or decades from now!”

He paused, looking at Su Lu, “You must be tired now… go back and get a good night’s sleep!”

“What about you?” Su Lu could detect something bloodthirsty in his words.

“I’m going to find the guy who posted the task and have a good chat with him!” Rod did not hide his intentions.

Even if the omission of information was not intentional, the grave misinterpretation that nearly resulted in their total demise was difficult to forgive.

“In that case, why don’t I…”

Su Lu seemed eager to participate.

Ever since he killed Galan, something subtle had shifted in his mindset.

“No! You go back!”

Rod was insistent this time, “Get some rest and familiarize yourself with the abilities of the [Spirit Medium]. No transcendent power is ever entirely safe!”

In reality, are you implying that [Spirit Mediums] are particularly advantageous against spirits, and not so effective against normal humans?

Su Lu rolled his eyes internally.

He estimated that his spiritual stats were probably higher than Yalanis’s!

The mental boost brought over from his initial transmigration was significant enough to suppress ordinary people.

‘As long as it’s not someone with outstanding mental prowess, they will have to kneel before my Spirit Medium Aura domination! It’s the perfect crowd control… that is if you’re dealing with minions. It won’t be so useful against tougher opponents…’ Su Lu thought to himself.

Despite Rambling on inwardly, he remained silent upon seeing Rod’s stern expression.

When this guy becomes obstinate, he’s harder than diamond, just like his father.

Sighing, Su Lu said his goodbyes to Rod and retreated to his dormitory. After a refreshing shower and change of clothes, he sat cross-legged on his bed.

“The scars on my arms vanished when I took the office of the [Spirit Medium]…

My spirit must certainly be transcendent now, right?”

Su Lu carefully contemplated the changes since becoming a [Spirit Medium].

“The most regrettable part is, I received no experience from that evil spirit because the main contribution and final blow didn’t come from me…

Su Lu sighed and picked up a mirror.

When he extended his spiritual senses, his eyes were distinctly tinged with black, giving off an eerie atmosphere.

Simultaneously, everything around him seemed to lose color, becoming slightly transparent.

“Is this how the world looks through the eyes of a spiritual body?”

Curiously observing everything around him, Su Lu felt as if he’d discovered a new world, “Indeed… it’s very peculiar!”

The sensation of a true transcendent power provided an entirely new experience.

“Everything appears like this with spiritual senses. If I employed the ‘Soul Trance’ skill, I would certainly discover higher-level things, like… intersections between the real world and the Spirit World?!”

The so-called Spirit World is not an independent world.

It exists reliant on the real world, and there’s a subtle overlap between the two.

Even, there are many layers.

If you delve into the deepest level, you will touch either the abyss or the Divine Kingdom of the gods!

Su Lu couldn’t help but think of a statement made by Rod.

“Although some researchers believe that the Seven Gods are situated within their respective Divine Kingdoms, these kingdoms are only located on the fringe of the world, the dark area that we have yet to discover and explore… To this end, many countries have organized numerous exploration teams during the Twilight of the Gods period. Unfortunately, even during the twilight period, the world’s edge remains dangerously unknown, let alone now.”

Su Lu sighed, prepared to withdraw his inspiration, when suddenly his expression changed.

An inexplicably curious spirit suddenly appeared around him, like a floating jellyfish, swaying inside the dormitory. Its semi-transparent body emitted a phosphorescence. “A spiritual body?”

Su Lu was startled.

Usually, such spiritual bodies should exist in the Spirit World, separated from reality.

“It seems that my awakening of inspiration attracted it?”

Su Lu extended his palm, letting the jellyfish float over to hover in front of him, reaching out with its tentacles to touch his palm.

“Most spiritual bodies are neutral, and my [Spirit Medium] constitution inherently possesses spirit affinity… Thus, it feels very close to me?”

An idea emerged in Su Lu’s mind.

The so-called spirits are mostly unconscious.

Once they have their own consciousness and preferences, they would advance, transforming into either kind spirits or evil spirits.

When they are attracted by the real world, or influenced by ritual worship, descending from the Spirit World to the real world, they often bring horrifying disasters.

Just like Mr. Galan’s wife, well, it was not certain whether she was really his wife yet.

“Time to go… little fella!”

Su Lu was about to send this spiritual body back to the Spirit World and try [Soul Trance] again when he heard noises outside the bedroom.

He stood up, walked outside and saw Sean, rubbing his eyes, “Hey, Su Lu, you’re back? My interview failed again… Oh my, we’re going to be driven away tomorrow, and I still haven’t found a job!”

In addition, the disappearance of Mentor Catherine also dealt him a big blow.

At this moment, Sean has heavy dark circles and eye bags. The whole person seems to emanate a sense of inexplicable melancholy and decadence.

Su Lu felt a jolt in his heart.

Because he saw the phosphorescent jellyfish-like spiritual body slowly climb atop Sean’s head. Its numerous tentacles wriggled, seemingly very happy.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Su Lu’s strange expression, Sean asked, rubbing his face.

Above his head, the phosphorescent jellyfish had already extended several tentacles and started exploring inside his nostrils.

“No… Nothing!”

Su Lu stepped forward, flicked his right finger and bounced the spiritual body away, sending it into the Spirit World, “I just wanted to ask, what are your plans?

“What else can I plan for? I still have an interview opportunity tomorrow, and then… I might have to return home…”

It was evident that Sean was in pain; he must not have been sleeping well recently.

“Hang in there! You still have a chance!”

Seeing that the spiritual body had disappeared, Su Lu took a deep breath and returned to his room.

“Because a [Spirit Medium] has a constitution that contains spirit affinity, it tends to attract spiritual bodies, or should I say ghosts? But harmless ones like this are fine, if I catch the attention of a fierce ghost or evil spirit, it would become troublesome… I might even become possessed by some entity directly, which is very dangerous!”

Any transcendent power inevitably comes with a price!
