Early morning.
When the rising sun's light streamed through the balcony and reflected off the glass table onto the wall, creating dazzling geometric patterns, its brilliance was enough to open Qin Feng's eyes.
He rubbed his still-drowsy eyes and sat up.
"Huh? I thought I closed the curtains last night. Why are they open now?"
But he didn't pay much attention—it was a small matter, maybe he'd forgotten.
Then, the system's alert sounded, instantly snapping him awake.
[Ding! Detected host trapped in a Ghost Dream. Consume 1000 Detention Points to wake up?]
Damn!
I'm trapped in a Ghost Dream?
Already hitting the jackpot?
1000 points?!
Qin Feng's face turned serious, his mind on high alert.
He activated his Ghost Hands.
But it was useless—there was no response.
Last night he just learned about this ghost, and now he's already caught by it...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Qin Feng realized something was wrong.
He couldn't sense his Ghost Hands.
He hurriedly looked at his hands—only his normal human hands were there.
His heart sank, and a vague suspicion formed.
"System, why have my Ghost Hands disappeared?"
[Reply to host: This is the Ghost Dream. It only pulls your consciousness inside. Your physical body remains in reality.]
Just as he thought.
Qin Feng nodded silently.
At the same time, he marveled at how terrifying the Ghost Dream really was.
Remember, it's his consciousness trapped inside.
That means, here, he's just an ordinary person, with no power to resist the dream ghost.
"No wonder it's rated A-level terror among Malevolent Ghosts."
Still, he wasn't too worried yet.
Because he could consume Detention Points to escape the Ghost Dream anytime.
And since the Ghost Dream had locked onto him, he definitely had to figure out how to deal with it.
He couldn't keep spending 1000 points every time he slept.
He simply couldn't afford that long-term.
So, he had to understand everything about the Ghost Dream.
Only then could he effectively shake it off.
In fact, Qin Feng even had a bold thought—Maybe he could imprison the Ghost Dream inside himself.
Though the odds were slim, if successful, he would instantly jump to top-tier Ghost Tamer status.
After all, the Ghost Dream's terror rating reached A-level.
And that was only based on researchers' observations.
Perhaps its terror level was even higher.
Having made up his mind, Qin Feng asked the system:
"System, based on the terror level of this Ghost Dream, how many Detention Points are needed to imprison it?"
[Reply to host: According to the Ghost Dream's level, only 2000 points are required to imprison this ghost.]
"What? An A-level Ghost Dream only needs 2000 points to imprison?"
Qin Feng was incredulous.
The Ghost Dream was called an unsolvable Paranormal Incident.
Even Ghost Tamers faced certain death when encountering it.
This alone demonstrated its terror.
But you're telling me just 2000 points is enough?
"System, are you joking?"
Then he reconsidered and realized the Ghost Dream's special nature:
It only pulls the person's consciousness into a dream.
Once the victim dies inside the dream, the ghost manifests in reality.
That made sense.
[Reply to host: Because this is only the first layer of the dream, the ghost here is just a small part or a projection of the root ghost. Therefore, it only requires 2000 points.]
Indeed, he'd overthought it.
Qin Feng scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed for his subjective guess.
This also showed he was not a presumptuous person—a very good quality, especially in a dangerous world.
Hearing this, Qin Feng knew the Ghost Dream was truly terrifying.
Just the first layer required 2000 points to imprison.
Who knew how many points the root ghost would need?
"Oh, system, can this ghost that pulls people into dreams also pull other ghosts inside?"
[Reply to host: Yes, this Ghost Dream can transform into a Ghost Domain, so it can pull in other ghosts, but only ordinary ones.]
Hearing this, Qin Feng's determination to imprison this inferior ghost grew stronger.
Soon, he left his home.
Since he decided to imprison this ghost, he wouldn't waste time indoors but take the initiative to act.
Outside, many elderly people were already exercising in the neighborhood, everything as normal as reality.
Qin Feng even punched a tree heavily.
Pain made him grimace, causing some of the nearby elders to look at him oddly.
"Maybe he's suffered a blow?"
"Did his girlfriend dump him? But he looks handsome!"
"Young people these days don't cherish themselves."
"..."
Qin Feng could read their thoughts from their eyes and sighed quietly.
"This dream is so realistic. You can't tell it's a dream at all."
"Ghost Tamers can tell when their ghost disappears or when something is wrong. Ordinary people have no chance."
"The power of Paranormal Energy creation is truly amazing."
Ignoring everything, Qin Feng left the neighborhood and drove toward the Paranormal Investigation Bureau.
He didn't know how this ghost lurking in the shadows would attack him.
But with the system, he would know immediately if the ghost acted.
Also, to test if this ghost could replicate other ghosts, Qin Feng deliberately approached two places previously sealed off for Paranormal Incidents.
He found no ghost traces there.
"That's good. Otherwise, if ghosts could create other ghosts in dreams, that would be truly terrifying."
Half an hour later, Qin Feng drove into the police station, and the system began absorbing Paranormal Energy.
[Ding! You have absorbed 10 Paranormal Energy points, converted to 10 Detention Points!]
[Ding! You have absorbed 20...]
[Ding! You have absorbed 30...]
[...]
By the time Qin Feng arrived downstairs at the Paranormal Office Building, the system had absorbed 100 points.
