Horror Revival: I'm Just a Lazybones in the City

I'm Jia Qing. I transmigrated to Huaguo and became an office drone, all for the sake of a community job with regular nine-to-five hours.

That tattered thread-bound book Grandpa left me?

I shoved it in a chest ages ago as a family heirloom.

Then one night, while I was on duty, the strange noises from Room 302 in the old building changed from creaking to scratching at the door. My coworker said, "The soundproofing is bad," but I saw a blue-gray hand seeping through the crack in the door. Well, Exorcism Secrets, how about showing me what you've got?

"Purification Spell? Evil-Breaking Talisman? These things can exorcise ghosts?" I shakily recited the first line, and the ghost immediately shrieked as it burned.

The pages flipped with a swish, revealing new content. I stared at the newly appeared "Spirit-Sealing Art" and suddenly realized: So this book is forcing me to go from a couch potato to an exorcism expert?

Fine. I'll deal with the spirits in this building first, then find out why Grandpa gave me this deadly book back then...
