Josh left, leaving Selen standing there, still dazed and unsure of why she was there.

She returned to the classroom in a daze, where her friend rushed over, excitedly asking, “Neo, Josh

asked you to meet him in the woods! Wow! Weren’t you just chasing after his brother? Why did he ask

you out?”

Selen was puzzled.

Woods? Did Josh mention something about that earlier?

Josh finally waited until after school!

Today, there was no need for him to pick up his sister. He went directly to the woods outside the school.

The sky was overcast, and even though it was noon, the woods felt even more eerie.

Drake crossed his arms and leaned against a tree nearby, observing Josh as he took out a jumble of

items with a cold gaze.

He hung a net between two trees.

In his right hand, he held a frying pan, while in his left hand, he had a ritual blade. Five bronze coins

hung from his chest.

Oh, and there was a spirit compass placed in front of him.

He even wore a comical hat filled with talismans—just in case someone wanted to peek inside his

head.

Drake was at a loss for words. “Is all of this necessary?”

Josh replied confidently, “Why wouldn’t it be necessary? This is my first time catching ghosts on my

own!”

He was determined to succeed.

He would do it!

After all, he was Lilly’s older brother, and he could not let Lilly down!

At that moment, someone came running into the woods.

Josh initially thought it was Selen, but after a closer look, he realized it was Selen’s best friend—a girl

he did not know.

As it turned out, after learning that Josh had asked Selen to meet him in the woods, Selen’s friend

could not contain her curiosity and rushed over.

Looking around nervously, she spotted both Josh and Drake present.

Her face lit up, and she approached them, her voice filled with awkwardness as she said, “Drake… um,

I like you. Do you like me? Can you be my boyfriend?”

Drake was taken aback for a moment.

The term “BF” had been around for quite some time, but Drake had not immediately realized what it

meant. Eventually, it clicked—oh, boyfriend, BF!

What kind of situation was this?

Selen had not shown up, yet her friend had arrived and confessed her feelings to his brother?

Drake still had his arms folded and asked coldly, “What is the next line after ‘To be or not to be’?”

The girl was bewildered.

What… what bee?

Josh continued with a cold tone, “You can’t even recognize a line from a well-known poem. Is your

mind filled with garbage?”

The girl covered her face and ran away in tears, sobbing as she went, “Boo hoo…”

Josh looked at his brother, stunned. He never expected him to be so harsh.

As the cries continued, Josh began to sense that something was amiss.

The cries echoed in the air, growing increasingly eerie.

Suddenly, a black shadow darted past them.

Josh’s hair stood on end, and he scanned the surroundings, feeling a sense of unease. His gaze

flickered from one spot to another, on high alert.

Drake, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and remained composed. Although he could not see

ghosts like his brother, he had a calm demeanor and keen observation skills.

While he could not see ghosts, he could still see people. If the head was attached to Selen, he would

be able to see her. As long as Selen appeared, he could spot her.

“Behind you!” Drake suddenly shouted, breaking the tense silence.

Josh jumped in fright, his hair seemingly reaching for the sky. His hat was pushed up a few centimeters

due to the sudden startle.

Swiftly, he spun around and reflexively hurled the ritual blade.

Drake watched in disbelief.

But to his surprise, Selenm was beside Josh, silently and with her head bowed. Her feet seemed to be

slightly hovering.

Her hair, which had been neatly tied into two small braids, now hung loosely, obscuring her face.

Drake’s heart tightened, and he unconsciously straightened up, no longer leaning against the tree. His

eyes were fixed on Selen, his nerves were tight.

Then, in a sudden and unexpected motion, Selen lifted her head and flashed a sinister grin, locking

eyes with Josh.

“Oh, my God!”xo.com fast update

Even though Josh had mentally prepared himself, he was still startled by her appearance.

The ritual blade struck Selen’s head, only to fall to the ground with a thud, proving to be ineffective.

Josh’s frustration grew as he scolded, “You damn liar, you scammed me out of a hundred dollars!”

Drake remained silent, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation. He had purchased the ritual

blade from a roadside vendor, and now it seemed like a wasted investment.

Selen tilted her head and let out a chilling giggle. The sight of her laughing while crying sent shivers

down Josh’s spine.

Fully armed and in a defensive stance, Josh warned her, “Don’t come any closer!”

Selen continued to grin and uttered words that were completely out of character, “But didn’t you ask me

to come here? Hehe…”

Josh, with the ability to see the head, found the situation even more bizarre than Drake did.

“Are you going to come out on your own, or do I have to beat you to make you leave her alone?” Josh

mustered his courage and finally spoke up, trying to sound tough.

The head laughed in response, its voice carrying a hint of misery. “You want to beat me so I’ll leave her

alone… but how should I come out? How should I come out?”

Its gaze was fixated on Josh, and everything it said seemed twisted and eerie.

Josh took a deep breath, reminding himself to be brave and face the situation head-on. He needed to

figure out what exactly he was dealing with, even if it meant looking at the head directly.

With great effort, Josh forced himself to look at the head…
