Who says vengeful ghosts can't go on blind dates?

Ren Zhizhe had intended to arrive early and tell the casino manager in advance not to make too much of a fuss about his arrival.

But as soon as he entered the casino and saw Song Yufei waiting on the most conspicuous high platform, he knew that his idea had completely failed.

Was it done on purpose?

That's quite a grand affair. Whether this blind date goes well or not, it'll probably attract a lot of questions from acquaintances.

However, upon reaching the high platform and seeing the blank look on Song Yufei's face, he immediately knew that this had nothing to do with her and was probably arranged by the ghost intermediary.

That agent probably did it on purpose.

Who in their right mind would come to a casino for a blind date?

This whole thing has turned into a public execution.

"Is this casino... really yours?" Song Yufei asked in a low voice.

"Well, well... of course not." Ren Zhizhe is indeed an investor in this casino, but he is not the only investor.

This wasn't him deliberately showing off his wealth, nor was it his intention. He had clearly decided not to bring up money during this blind date, but unexpectedly, he got ripped off by the matchmaker!

If the middleman hadn't said that Song Yufei was already on her way to the casino, he would have definitely asked them to change the location.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's exchange contact information first; the agent didn't give me your contact information." He said somewhat helplessly.

I wonder if those shady real estate agents can't understand human language.

He asked this guy to exchange information beforehand, but the matchmaker only told him the name of his blind date?

He was speechless on the spot.

No... is this something a human being could do?

He seriously suspected that the agent was doing it on purpose.

While exchanging phone numbers, Ren Zhizhe glanced at Song Yufei.

Well, the matchmaker found him a different blind date this time than the last one.

As Count Golos said, Song Yufei has what is called aristocratic demeanor.

Ren Zhizhe didn't understand these kinds of things. Although he hadn't had much contact with her, judging solely from her appearance and demeanor, he felt that Song Yufei was like a mature, sophisticated woman.

No... that doesn't seem quite accurate either; the term "mature woman" is too broad a term.

If you take into account her clothes and appearance, he felt that she was more like a rich young lady.

Was it someone the agent found through the count's connections? It's not surprising that people in high society circles come into contact with rich young ladies.

Ren Zhizhe seemed to be deep in thought.

If it were a rich young lady... he suddenly couldn't quite figure out what the real estate agent was thinking.

After all, if they make a big fuss, the impact on the young lady will definitely be greater than on him.

So, does that mean the shady real estate agent is actually helping himself?

He was about to say something, but when he caught sight of the fly ghost still standing there dumbfounded, he forced himself to shut up.

Public execution is one thing, but what about the added bonus of being a third wheel?

He glanced at the Fly Ghost. Seeing Ren Zhizhe turn his gaze to him, the Fly Ghost immediately put on a big smile.

Very well, the new person in charge is an idiot.

Ren Zhizhe looked away helplessly.

He remembered that the person in charge when he invested in this casino wasn't the current one. The original person in charge was quite perceptive and would never have done something as absurd as standing there dumbfounded.

Considering that casinos attract all sorts of people, Ren Zhizhe immediately turned to Song Yufei to discuss the matter:

"Let's go somewhere else; this place isn't suitable."

Before Song Yufei could even speak, the fly-like guy next to her got impatient.

"Sir! Are you... are you leaving now? We have many entertainment options here, would you like to take a look...?"

The fly demon sensed something was wrong.

One rule of the Ghost Casino is that you must play a game of chance before you can leave.

This rule is aimed at casino staff.

If a person or ghost forcibly leaves, the casino manager will receive a huge promotion and will be able to use the entire casino's power to kill the other party.

However, if they fail to stop it, the casino manager will be forcibly devoured by the ghost casino in order to compensate for the ghost casino's losses.

The original casino manager was a powerful demon. Even so, when faced with the casino's ruthless rules of killing, the original manager was still completely devoured.

The ghost casino not only devours people, but also ghosts. Therefore, no vengeful ghost would be willing to take the position of manager.

The original head of the Ghost Casino seemed to want to change this situation. But unfortunately, he failed and instead became nourishment for the Ghost Casino.

The fly demon was just a weak and wicked ghost.

Moreover, it was a weak and vengeful ghost who had only recently risen to power.

He knew Ren Zhizhe was an investor. Even if he used the casino's resources, he wouldn't be a match for him, so he could only try to persuade him.

Ren Zhizhe didn't speak, but frowned.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ren Zhizhe, Fly Ghost had no choice but to turn his attention to Song Yufei.

"Want to play a few rounds?"

Although he was speaking to Song Yufei, his gaze remained fixed on the blouse she was wearing.

Clearly, the low-level vengeful spirit failed to see through Song Yufei's human identity.

"No, I..."

While refusing, Song Yufei moved closer to Ren Zhizhe.

She refused because she felt the ghost casino was a bit dangerous and didn't want to stay there.

They moved closer to Ren Zhizhe because they were afraid that the Fly Ghost would suddenly make a move.

After all, the size of the fly demon is quite intimidating.

His voice would buzz incessantly when he spoke, which gave Song Yufei a headache.

Ren Zhizhe kept his brows furrowed, seemingly somewhat impatient.

But perhaps out of consideration for his status as an investor and the casino manager's feelings, he didn't say anything more, just quietly watched the fly-like ghost chatter on and on.

"Even if I wanted to play, I didn't have enough money..."

"What? Tsk tsk. You want to play? Money... money is no problem!"

As soon as Song Yufei said those words, the fly demon flapped its wings and glided over to her with unusual excitement.

"It's okay, hehe. I can give you money... How much do you need? I have some here... I'll exchange it for game currency for you right away!"

"this……"

Song Yufei instinctively wanted to refuse.

But being stared at by a pair of huge fly eyes, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unease.

She felt nauseous.

It's a kind of nausea that I can't quite explain.

Her throat trembled, and she felt like gagging, but she managed to hold it in, though she still instinctively took a step back.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ren Zhizhe immediately noticed her actions.

"It's nothing," Song Yufei quickly came up with an excuse, "I just have a slightly dry throat."

"Ah! Our casino offers drinks. They're a bit pricey, but I can bring you one for free."

Upon seeing Song Yufei's appearance, the fly ghost was slightly surprised and immediately stopped crying and wailing.

It actually worked!

The Fly Demon's rules for killing are somewhat unique.

He can induce a feeling of nausea in targets that trigger murder conditions.

The nausea doesn't last very long. But if he dies during this time, he can be resurrected in the target's stomach as maggots.

At this point, a rule-based confrontation will take place.

If the target falls behind in the rule-based combat, he can rip open the opponent's stomach and successfully revive.

The conditions for killing are related to the insect's eye.

He has two compound eyes, each composed of more than four thousand ommatidia.

If you are stared at by him for an extended period of time, or if you are staring into his eyes, it will trigger his murder rule.

The exact length of this so-called "long time" depends on the disparity in strength between the two sides.

This is his core rule.

Because it lacks lethality and cannot kill its target when it revives inside their body, it has never found a way to improve itself, which is why it has always remained a weak and vengeful ghost.

He even believed he was destined to be a "piece of the puzzle" for some vengeful ghost. To avoid being discovered, he could only hide in this casino for protection.

However, being reborn by cutting open the abdomen is really disgusting.

When the target's abdomen is cut open, the inside of the abdomen will ulcerate, oozing pus and emitting a putrid stench.

While this won't kill the vengeful spirit, it will inflict a significant debuff. Naturally, other spirits will seize the opportunity to attack.

It was precisely because of this that the other weaker, more ruthless figures in the casino gave him some face.

However, the Fly Demon can only use this to threaten weaker vengeful spirits and maintain its superficial dominance over the casino.

If he were to face those powerful ghosts in the casino who were stronger than him, he would have no choice but to grovel and smile obsequiously.

Thinking of this, he looked at Song Yufei with malice.

His surprise stemmed from the fact that he had just discovered Song Yufei's secret.

His rules of killing only apply to beings with stomachs.

If the target doesn't have a stomach, then he really has no choice but to kneel down and beg Song Yufei to persuade Ren Zhizhe to give it a try.

However, his rules have just taken effect!

Alternatively, Song Yufei might not be a vengeful ghost, but rather a dirty human disguised as one using a smock.

Either the cloak itself isn't actually a mask, but something hidden inside a human body.

The casino is frequented by vengeful spirits, and the fly ghost has also seen many vengeful spirits with parasitic abilities.

But whichever it is, he can use it to threaten the other party and achieve his own goals.

As he pondered this, he let out a pleasant hum and handed a glass filled with red liquid to Song Yufei.

"Come on, Tsss. I can give you game tokens for free!" Fly Ghost once again extended an invitation in his capacity as the casino manager.

But at that moment, Ren Zhizhe suddenly spoke up and joined the conversation: "Let's skip the red wine."

As he spoke, he stepped between the fly demon and Song Yufei.

"Red... wine?" The fly ghost's already small brain started working at lightning speed.

What is red wine?

He was holding human female blood in his hands.

It is said that this blood can only be extracted from each woman once in her lifetime, and it has a strong attraction to vengeful ghosts who have a penchant for the bizarre.

The extraction process does not require piercing the human woman's body; it only requires stimulating acupoints that already exist in the human body.

This is fantastic news for the ghostly bartenders who always struggle to control the amount of blood they draw.

"Tsk tsk... Ah! It's okay. Anyway, it's more important to take a gamble."

"I'm sorry. I understand your desire to recoup your losses after a long period of losses and your eagerness to attract customers. However, we really have to leave."

Ren Zhizhe assumed that Song Yufei's subconscious frown at the smell of blood meant she didn't want to drink. Furthermore, he was also somewhat annoyed by the fact that the fly ghost was offering his blind date alcohol right in front of him.

For a variety of reasons, he could no longer suppress his desire to leave this place immediately.

"Hiss! Sir! Please wait..."

"Alright. I also want your casino to make a profit, and I want to get some of the profits. But... sigh, never mind. Let's go somewhere quiet... how about the park?"

"Hmm..." Song Yufei gave a stiff smile.

She forced herself to suppress her nausea and glanced at the fly-like creature.

She felt this nausea was caused by the other party's actions. If she left the casino like this, she might immediately be attacked by their murderous tactics.

Do you really want to play a few rounds?

But how could she persuade Ren Zhizhe?

Ren Zhizhe was clearly annoyed by the fly demon. In any case, it would be unwise to speak up for the fly demon at this time.

Ren Zhizhe turned and walked towards the staircase leading down from the platform. Seeing this, Song Yufei could only try her best to control her expression and quickly followed.

She didn't say anything.

Reason prevailed.

Ren Zhizhe is someone you absolutely cannot offend, especially since it seems that Ren Zhizhe only treats the casino manager this way because of her.

Therefore, at this time, you absolutely must not say anything in defense of the fly demon.

The vengeful ghost cannot resist the impulses brought about by its own rules of killing.

Song Yufei felt that if the Fly Ghost's killing rules were lethal, then she should already be dead.

Since she's not dead yet, does that mean the other party's killing rules aren't fatal, and she can barely withstand it?

If that's the case, then we have no choice but to gamble.

She was betting that she could handle it, or... betting that Ren Zhizhe would step in to help her resist the Fly Demon's killing rules.

"Ah, Mr. Ren! It's truly an honor to meet you in a place like this!"

A voice came first from down the stairs.

Ren Zhizhe stopped in his tracks, and Song Yufei happened to walk over and stand next to him.

A clown came up from downstairs. The clown had three faces on its head: a sad face, a smiling face, and an angry face.

Another vengeful ghost has appeared?

Song Yufei remembered.

They were still on the high platform under everyone's watchful eyes. Ren Zhizhe had come all the way up; any vengeful ghost with ulterior motives must have already seen him.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the Joker could come directly up here. What's strange is that the platform isn't far from the road below, so why didn't the Joker come up sooner, but instead chose this particular moment when Ren Zhizhe was about to leave?

Her gaze darted back and forth between the clown and Ren Zhizhe.

Do they know each other?

"You are..." Ren Zhizhe chose a rather conservative approach to contact.

Clearly, Ren Zhizhe and this ghost were not familiar with each other.

But the clown completely avoided Ren Zhizhe's words.

He walked up to them on his own and said in a rather familiar tone:

"I am truly surprised to see you with a human."

Humanity?

Several interested ghosts all turned their gazes toward them.
