The Righteous Group’s Pet Suddenly Realizes: The Villain is Actually Me

Ye Xing returned to the cottage, closed the door, and climbed onto the bed.

She had nothing to do now, at least during this time period. She was a veteran slacker.

“I’ll just continue watching anime.”

Speaking of anime, the series available at this time weren’t synchronized with the future, so Ye Xing could only watch some old anime to pass the time, rewatching her favorites, which was also a nice experience.

Ye Xing placed her phone on the pillow, lying on the quilt while staring at the screen. She lazily swung her small feet wrapped in white stockings. The thin white silk clinging to her feet revealed the snow-white delicacy of her skin, like tempting ice cream.

“Mmm~ Mmm~”

After a while, Ye Xing suddenly felt this posture was a bit uncomfortable, so she flipped over with her phone, lying flat on the bed with her slender white legs spread. Her gaze was fixed on the phone held in both hands.

In this position, if she got drowsy, once her hands relaxed, the phone would fall and hit her face, possibly dispelling the drowsiness instantly.

But fortunately, Ye Xing was very alert now, so there was no such risk.

“Hmm~”

However, at this moment, a faint sound suddenly echoed in the empty room.

Ye Xing, extremely sensitive to such things, noticed it instantly.

“Huh?”

Ye Xing tapped the pause button, tilting her head in confusion.

“Is it a mouse?”

If a mouse suddenly scurried out, Ye Xing would definitely be startled and scared.

Of course, if she were prepared, she would definitely rush over to kick it. She had that little bit of courage.

Well… or it might be more of a stress response.

But Ye Xing didn’t encounter the appearance of a mouse. Perhaps it was just the sound of something naturally colliding.

Just as she lowered her guard and continued watching anime, a faint shadow emerged from the wall beside her.

“Just passing through~”

A semi-transparent human figure, like a ghost, passed through the wall, right above Ye Xing.

Ye Xing was lying down, her gaze upward, directly witnessing the entire process of the shadow passing through the wall.

“Wah! Oh my!”

Ye Xing was so startled that her hands loosened, and the phone fell directly onto her face. A cry of pain escaped her cherry lips.

“Ow~ That hurts…”

Ye Xing covered her face and whimpered a few times, then quickly wrapped herself in the quilt and curled up.

Thump thump thump!

Ye Xing’s heart was pounding, her body trembling slightly, already beginning to feel nervous and scared.

What was that just now?

A person actually passed through the wall?

Was it a ghost?

Why would there be such an unscientific existence as ghosts in this era full of science?

Wait, come to think of it, Stars and such aren’t very scientific either.

Hmm…

Thinking about the existence of Stars, Ye Xing’s nervousness and fear instantly halved.

Let’s put it this way.

If something incredible and unbelievable happened around you, you shouldn’t immediately think of the existence of ghosts and such, but of the known Stars.

The effects of Stars were bizarre and varied, like diverse superpowers. Some Stars were indeed good choices for pretending to be supernatural.

If so, then was the figure that just passed through the wall some bad guy using a Star to play a prank?

Ye Xing suddenly understood.

What followed was anger, intense anger!

You should know that when she was scared just now, she almost wet herself, you know?

If she had been scared to the point of wetting herself in front of a stranger, her entire life would probably be over.

So infuriating!

Report it, she must report it!

Ye Xing wanted a bunch of Night Watchers to come and catch this bad guy, then give them a good lesson!

Ye Xing was brewing her emotions under the covers.

Outside, the culprit was gloating.

“Wow… Did I scare you? That reaction was so interesting, it’s the first time I’ve seen that.”

A small girl floated in the air, her entire body faintly transparent, just like a ghost. If you weren’t paying attention, you might overlook her completely.

She had long gray-white hair with a thin ahoge on top, dark black eyes, and looked somewhat cute. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be only about sixteen years old.

Her name was Aipal, a ghost girl with strong curiosity who liked to join in the excitement. Occasionally, she would use her body’s special nature to play small pranks, leaving only after feeling satisfied.

Although she was a semi-transparent ghost girl, no one could notice her.

Even if she floated in front of living people, they couldn’t see her. Sometimes it was really lonely.

But she could make a little sound that people could hear.

Her favorite prank was to quietly make a sound near the ear of someone who was concentrating, successfully startling them. Their reactions were the source of Aipal’s good mood for the day.

However, pranks had to be played on the right people.

If someone was doing a very important and potentially risky job, she wouldn’t disturb them.

“Mm~ Mm~ Satisfied, time to go~”

Aipal made a satisfied ghostly sound, already preparing to pass through the wall and slip away.

But at this moment, Ye Xing suddenly threw off the quilt, angrily glaring at Aipal’s figure. Her cheeks puffed up as she tried to make herself look super fierce.

“Stop right there!”

“Huh?”

Aipal turned back in confusion, her ahoge cooperatively forming a question mark. She was somewhat puzzled.

After all this time, it was the first time someone had told her to stop.

Most of the time, those who were startled by her pranks hadn’t even recovered their senses before Aipal had already left.

But now, the situation seemed a bit unusual.

“Are you calling me?” Aipal pointed at herself, her expression somewhat uncertain.

“Who else!”

Ye Xing’s crimson eyes reflected the semi-transparent shadow.

Aipal met her gaze, seeing her own figure in the girl’s eyes.

Unlike others, this silver-haired girl seemed to be able to see her!

Aipal’s ahoge instantly straightened, expressing its owner’s surprise like an antenna.

“Can you see me?”

“Of course I can.”

“Why? I’m so curious!”

Aipal’s curiosity was piqued.

She wanted to know why others couldn’t see her, but this loli in front of her could. Could it be the legendary yin-yang eyes?

Aipal swayed her ahoge and slowly floated towards Ye Xing, trying to get closer to ask her.

Ye Xing’s expression became panicked, and she quickly reached out to stop her.

“Eh? Don’t come closer, just stay there!”

“Are you afraid of me?” Aipal was somewhat confused, “You can already see me, so why are you still scared?”

“Umm…”

Ye Xing didn’t want to answer, slightly pouting.

Sorry for being a bit cowardly and mildly socially anxious.

Ye Xing’s anger had mostly dissipated from when it first arose until now.

She was like this; angry emotions generally didn’t last long, forgotten as soon as she turned her head.

Better to give up than to sulk.

However, even so, it didn’t prevent Ye Xing from pointing out this ghost girl’s mistake.

“Anyway, using your Star to play pranks is wrong!”

“Star? What’s that?”

“Umm… It’s like superpowers, I guess.”

“I see~ But I’m already dead, you know. I didn’t deliberately become like this.”

“Eh?”

Ye Xing was dumbfounded again.
