Early in the morning on Sunday, Lu Ye met the landlord who had woken up early to collect rent in the corridor.
"Little Lu, did you hear any strange noises last night?"
"Ah? I went to bed very early yesterday. What was it? "
"I'm not sure either … A lot of people in the neighborhood said that they encountered strange things. The lights in the corridor wouldn't turn on."
"Our elevator only has the first floor, but a lot of tenants said that they saw the button for the second floor …"
"It's okay, Sister Liu. Maybe the light bulb is broken. I'll go take a look later." Lu Ye smiled.
Sister Liu sighed in relief and said softly, "I made fish head soup today. I'll have the sucker puppet send it over later."
Lu Ye nodded and walked halfway to the corridor before he reacted with a strange expression.
"Fish head soup … It can't be the king of carps, right?!"
It was an old-fashioned building with six floors. Even the elevators were using freight elevators. It was normal for the wires to short circuit.
Lu Ye went to the first floor, checked the electric valve, and changed the light bulb.
"Strange, the light bulb is clearly working."
Lu Ye scratched his head and walked into the elevator.
The air in the dim freight elevator was humid, and the small sublease advertisement was covered in mildew.
Below the "B1" was a mottled button — "B2".
Lu Ye rubbed his eyes, but only the "B1" button appeared in front of him.
"Did I run into a ghost in broad daylight?" Lu Ye swallowed.
"System, how do I deal with this kind of situation?"

"You even have Retribution and Almighty Dragon of Heaven!?
"Forget it, now is not the time to complain. Do you dare to give me some skills that I can afford?"
[Recommended Skills: Spirit Vision Lvl 1 Required BP: 500.]
[Spend 500 BP to unlock skill "Spirit Vision Lvl 1."]
"Hurry up, hurry up!"

[Spirit Vision Lvl 1: Improves vision. Small chance of seeing through spiritual creatures. (Your vision is extraordinary, but you must be careful. Having a high Spirit Vision isn't always a good thing …)]
Lu Ye didn't have time to think. He cautiously looked around, a drop of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Nothing … at all?"
In the empty cargo elevator, a cold wind blew through the hall, bringing with it a musty smell. A dim yellow incandescent lamp creaked.
The old man in the security uniform yawned outside the elevator.
"Young man, you've been standing there for a long time … Don't tell me you're urinating and defecating on the ground!"
Lu Ye left the elevator with a strange expression on his face.
"Sir, there aren't any supernatural legends around here, right?"
"Yes, my granddaughter told me about it." The old man's interest was piqued. "It's said that there's a woman with a cracked mouth, but it's actually a type of sprite called a big-mouthed baby."
"And that cat-faced old lady, guess what she is — Zoroark!"
"Grandpa, stop." Lu Ye had a strange expression on his face. "Your granddaughter knows a lot!"
"Of course, my granddaughter is an elite trainer!" The old man said proudly.
"I know you, young man. You're a tenant on the sixth floor. I haven't seen you out for half a month."
"Look at how young you are. Instead of building your career as a trainer, why are you cooped up here as a small-time streamer!"
"Thank you for your kind words." Lu Ye hurriedly retreated.
On the way to the sprite shop, Lu Ye recalled the scene just now.
"It shouldn't be a supernatural incident. It's nothing more than a spirit-type sprite … That's reasonable."
Lu Ye was a firm believer in materialism.
As the saying goes, 'Children don't talk about supernatural powers.' Supernatural powers of the Combat Type were indeed difficult to deal with spirit-type sprites.
"When the time comes, I'll ask the lady boss to find a few elite trainers to exorcise the sprites. There shouldn't be a problem."
After exhaling and calming himself down, Lu Ye opened Meituan to search for nearby shops.
"For lunch, there's a stone restaurant here … Dazed Beast Tail Sashimi, 3888 yuan for one? Sorry to bother you! "
"Let's go buy a Pokeball first," Lu Ye murmured. "There are a few breeder houses nearby. I can go take a look later."
In the system store, a Red and White Ball cost 200 BP, which was a bit expensive.
In comparison, a Pokeball that cost 500 yuan in reality seemed much more cost-effective.
Arriving at the sprite shop, Lu Ye spent 2,500 yuan to buy five Pokeballs, leaving him with 17000 yuan left.
But in the breeder house, Lu Ye didn't see the Starter Sprite that he was interested in.
"Ibu, Katie Dog, and the like are all very popular sprites," the shop assistant said regretfully. "Even if you pre-order them, you have to order them six months in advance."
"It's okay, I'm just asking."
Similar to the expensive pets in his previous life, Ibu was sold for 30,000 yuan, while Katie Dog was sold for close to 50,000 yuan.
Lu Ye was a bit embarrassed.
Sprite eggs like the Unicorn Bug and the Thorny Tail Bug were very cheap. He could choose one for two to three hundred yuan.
Sprite eggs of bird sprites like Bobo and the Unyielding Bone Swallow were also sold for around 2,000 yuan.
But Lu Ye thought that it would be more cost-effective to catch one in the wild than to buy this kind of sprite that could be found on the streets.
"If you want to tame your own sprite, please pay attention to your safety," the shop assistant said. "In recent years, there have been a lot of news about accidental injuries."
His plan to rub the Ibu failed, and Lu Ye had no choice but to return to his residence.
The sun set in the west, and the dusky evening mist filled the air. A group of fierce sparrows flew across the sky, letting out hoarse cries.
"Caw —!"
Lu Ye played with the pocket-sized Pokeball in his hand. With a click, he held the enlarged Pokeball in his palm, having a lot of fun playing with it.
As he walked into the elevator with ease, a drop of cold sweat suddenly slid across Lu Ye's forehead.
"Oh no."
The vision in front of him suddenly blurred, and the scenery suddenly changed. It was as if someone had suddenly turned the color palette of the world upside down.
If he had to describe it, it was like Jojo's wonderful color change —
The row of elevator buttons was covered with creepy green bloody handprints.
The incandescent lamp above his head shook violently, making screeching sounds. The wick flickered violently, and finally went out with a sizzling sound.
In the dead silence, the smell of rot and mold filled his nostrils. The cold, damp wind licked Lu Ye's neck like a long scarlet tongue.
Lu Ye's whole body quivered.
The elevator door closed automatically, and after descending to the second floor, it slowly opened.
["Spirit Vision Level 1" Judgment — Great Success!]
A fluorescent green appeared in front of Lu Ye's eyes, and he could see everything clearly like an "eagle's eye."
At this point, Lu Ye had calmed down, and he raised his head expressionlessly.
It had a pair of bulging eyes, a smile that reached its ears, a scarlet tongue, and a long tongue.
The ghost approached quickly and sized up Lu Ye just like that. Their eyes met for a minute.
"Kacha —"
A white light suddenly lit up.
Lu Ye lowered his head, and with trembling hands, he sent a message to the fan group in the live broadcast room.

"What should I do if I encounter a ghost in the middle of the night? Waiting online, it's quite urgent!"
