Lin Feng used his own invented binding technique—the Binding Spirit Knot.
During his time at the Underworld's Soul-Reaper Training Academy, he was dissatisfied with the standard Soul Capturing Technique, feeling it was too inefficient.
After three years of research and improvement, he created this "Binding Spirit Knot," which could maximize the restriction of a ghost's movement with minimal energy consumption.
The advantage is high efficiency, but the downside is... it doesn't look very elegant.
Especially when used on female ghosts.
Mom was tied in an extremely humiliating posture, the Soul Hook Chain leaving deep impressions on her body, with black smoke continuously rising.
She struggled frantically, but the more she struggled, the tighter the chain became.
The runes on the Soul Hook Chain glowed continuously, eroding the essence of her ghostly form.
"Who... who are you?!"
Mom roared, her voice full of shock and anger:
"What are you trying to do to me?!"
Lin Feng squatted down and said seriously:
"Don't be afraid, it's nothing, I'm just preparing to take you to a nice place."
He took another item from his waist.
A palm-sized gray cloth bag, its opening tied with a red string.
It was the standard containment tool of the Underworld: the Soul Capturing Bag.
Also a Low-Grade Magic Tool.
Lin Feng untied the red string and aimed the bag's opening at Mom.
"Capture!"
A powerful suction force emanated from the bag!
"No—!!"
Mom screamed in terror, her ghostly form twisting and deforming, being forcibly pulled towards the bag's opening.
She struggled desperately, but bound by the Binding Spirit Knot and continuously eroded by the Soul Hook Chain, she had no strength to resist.
In just three seconds, her entire ghostly form turned into a wisp of black smoke and was sucked into the Soul Capturing Bag.
Lin Feng skillfully tied the red string tight and shook the bag.
A dull thumping sound and muffled curses came from inside the bag.
[Bullet Screen: ......]
[Bullet Screen: Another D-Class Anomalous Tool?]
[Bullet Screen: How can a newbie have two D-Class Anomalous Tools? Is this reasonable?]
[Bullet Screen: That's why I say, he must be the young master of some big family.]
[Bullet Screen: Am I the only one who thinks his technique is unnaturally skilled?]
[Bullet Screen: Suggest a thorough investigation, I suspect he's a human trafficker.]
……
Lin Feng, satisfied, hung the Soul Capturing Bag back on his waist.
Feeling the Yin Energy fluctuations coming from the bag, he calculated in his mind:
"Mid-Stage Wild Ghost, Yin Energy purity is decent, with potential for further growth... According to the Underworld's acquisition standards, it's worth at least 30 Performance Points. Not bad, a good start."
He was completely unaware of the stir his actions had caused in the live stream.
Lin Feng stood up, stretched his neck, and turned his gaze to the tightly closed door on the left.
The Study Room.
"Dad" was inside.
[Bullet Screen: What's he planning to do?]
[Bullet Screen: Isn't dealing with Mom enough? Now he's actively going after Dad?]
[Bullet Screen: This newbie is crazy! The Dad in Warm Home is even more ferocious than Mom!]
[Bullet Screen: The last player who tried to ambush Dad was torn into twenty-seven pieces, still stuck on the study room wall.]
[Bullet Screen: Preemptively mourning for Dad.]
[Bullet Screen: ??? What's going on above?]
[Bullet Screen: Didn't you see how he dealt with Mom just now? Two D-Class Anomalous Tools, his technique is unbelievably skilled, clearly well-prepared!]
[Bullet Screen: Dad, Sister, run! There's a trafficker, oh no, a ghost trafficker coming for you!]
[Bullet Screen: What kind of devilish talk is this...]
[Bullet Screen: But seriously, this newbie is really fierce, not only eating the meal Mom made but also actively provoking Dad!]
[Bullet Screen: The fiercest person since Warm Home launched.]
At this moment, Lin Feng was standing in front of the study room door, carefully sensing the Yin Energy fluctuations behind it.
"Mid-Stage Wild Ghost, the Yin Energy is mixed with a repressed agitation... more restrained than Mom's resentment, but the explosive power should be stronger."
Lin Feng made a professional assessment in his mind while calculating the gains.
"Another at least thirty Performance Points. Adding Mom's thirty points, this trip already yields sixty Performance Points, completing this month's target at 200%."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
It was a genuine joy, the kind you feel when you see hope for a year-end bonus.
But paired with his ghastly pale ghost face and eerie blue eyes, this smile looked particularly terrifying to others.
[Bullet Screen: He's smiling! He's smiling at the study room door!]
[Bullet Screen: This smile gives me the creeps.]
[Bullet Screen: Dad is in danger!]
Lin Feng composed himself and pressed his ear to the door.
Inside, there was a faint "rustling" sound, like a pen tip moving across paper.
Very rhythmic, neither fast nor slow.
"Working?"
Lin Feng recalled the second rule: Dad works in the study room, be quiet, don't disturb.
"Can't disturb..."
Lin Feng frowned.
As a public servant of the Underworld, he was always a rule-abiding employee.
At least when he was in the Underworld.
But now it was a special mission period, and the performance points were right in front of him...
"Rules are dead, ghosts... are also dead."
Lin Feng muttered, took two steps back, and lifted his foot—
"Bang!!!"
With a loud crash, the study room door was kicked open!

Wood chips flew, and the door panel drew an arc in the air, crashing heavily onto the desk inside the study room.
