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

If it were when Song Yufei first participated in the eerie game, she might still have felt burdened by the thought of killing.

But now, she has let it go.

As early as the second eerie game, her veteran player bodyguard was already using the lives of other players to test the rules of the vengeful ghost.

According to veteran players, to survive long, one must use the ghostly items they possess to threaten others.

That's right. In the eyes of these veteran players, ghost items are not for saving their lives or killing ghosts, but for controlling other players.

Those who survived many bizarre games, if not the luckiest, must have had countless lives on their hands.

"Guests, your meal is ready."

A waiter came over with their food.

Song Yufei looked over. The waiter was a human, clearly a player.

Or rather, the living humans you encounter in this eerie world are usually players.

Are there really gamers in this store?

The other person clearly recognized her as well, and they made eye contact for a few moments. However, Song Yufei didn't know whether this player recognized her as a player or as someone in the real world.

The other person didn't say much, put down the plate, turned around and left, their movements as practiced as a real waiter.

Song Yufei stared at the other person's back for two seconds before looking away.

She looked at the food on the table.

She didn't recognize the food Ren Zhizhe ordered at all and couldn't tell what it was.

However, her own meal should be a bowl of clear soup noodles.

Do clear soup noodles still exist in the eerie world?

Song Yufei curiously took a bite.

It is indeed clear broth noodles.

"How is it?" Ren Zhizhe asked.

Remembering that Ren Zhizhe had previously said he would order her a light meal, Song Yufei quickly replied:

"It doesn't taste like much."

"You've just recovered from food poisoning, so it's not really suitable for you to eat other foods," Ren Zhizhe said naturally.

Song Yufei nodded and continued eating her noodles.

Although it's just clear broth noodles, in this bizarre world, anything edible for humans is enough.

But as she ate, Song Yufei noticed something was amiss.

Clear broth noodles are indeed light, but they're not completely tasteless.

But for some reason, the more she ate, the less she felt she could taste anything.

When you put the noodles in your mouth, you feel absolutely nothing; it's just like drinking water.

Looking at the remaining noodles in the bowl, Song Yufei hesitated for a moment.

She took another bite. Sure enough, it had absolutely no taste.

Not right.

Is there something wrong with the dough?

She looked hesitantly at the bowl of noodles in front of her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Seeing that Ren Zhizhe had noticed her actions, Song Yufei started eating again.

However, the feeling of "not getting any food" grew stronger.

When she chewed the noodles, the texture in her mouth was real, but she always felt like she wasn't eating anything.

She even began to doubt whether she had actually put the noodles in her mouth.

Song Yufei finally realized what was wrong: even though she was still chewing, she never felt full.

She put down her utensils and stopped eating.

But the next question was how to explain this to Ren Zhizhe.

Fortunately, she had come up with a good reason.

"I don't really feel like eating anything."

"No appetite?"

"It's probably food poisoning." Song Yufei attributed all the inconsistencies to the so-called "food poisoning."

"Okay. In that case, I'll have to wait a bit. I'll finish eating as soon as possible and then take you back."

Sure enough, this tactic was very effective.

Upon hearing this, Ren Zhizhe simply nodded and, as expected, did not ask any further questions.

Seeing this, Song Yufei stopped talking. For the rest of the time, she didn't look around, but just sat quietly, waiting for Ren Zhizhe to finish his meal.

"I'll go get the car. What about you...?"

"I'll just wait at the door," Song Yufei immediately replied.

This is the moment she's been waiting for.

While Ren Zhizhe stood up from his chair, she secretly glanced at the window seat.

She only felt slightly relieved after confirming that the human Count Golos had mentioned was still there.

Ren Zhizhe glanced at her, said nothing more, paid the money, and then turned and left.

The moment he left, the limbed ghost began to rustle and was rushing toward Song Yufei's location at an extremely fast speed.

He took away the cutlery and the leftover bowl.

Besides that, he lingered briefly beside Song Yufei for a few seconds. But it was only for a few seconds; he quickly returned with his packed belongings.

Song Yufei didn't think much of it. She had been observing the man by the window the whole time, her attention not on the limbed ghost.

In order to prevent the murder rule from being mistakenly applied to the limb-shaped vengeful ghost, Song Yufei closed her eyes only after the limb-shaped vengeful ghost had completely left.

Then, she opened a pitch-black insect eye.

The insect's eye has a very strange field of vision, like looking through frosted glass.

She can only see the scene in front of her clearly when there is something moving in her line of sight.

But when she opened her insect eyes, she felt as if time had slowed down.

Furthermore, Song Yufei felt that her attention had become much more focused, and she could keenly capture everything that moved in her line of sight.

However, if something doesn't move, she might not notice it at all.

Song Yufei moved her neck slightly.

My vision cleared up for a moment, then blurred again in an instant.

"So that's how it is."

The "movement" that insects perceive is probably relative.

So, as long as she turns her head and makes the human by the window disappear from her sight—

"Snap!"

After turning her head, Song Yufei clearly felt that her insect eye was very itchy.

Following closely behind was a burning sensation.

The burning sensation came quickly and went quickly. As the insect's senses returned to normal, she also heard a thud as something fell to the ground.

Song Yufei removed the insect-filled hole and then turned back.

At this moment, there was a smooth and clean cut at the man's neck.

The man's head was gone. Song Yu stood up and looked, only to find that the man's head had rolled under the dining table in front of him.

"Thump."

The man fell off the chair. Or rather, the corpse fell off the chair.

Song Yufei looked away, no longer wanting to see the bloody scene.

That was too fast...

The killing rules of the insect eye were more efficient and more uncontrollable than she had anticipated.

She simply turned her head and made the man disappear from her sight, and the rules were automatically triggered.

The entire process didn't even require her to have any murderous intent, nor did it require her to make any extra moves.

No wonder Count Golos was able to single-handedly destroy the entire Ghost Casino.

Song Yufei quickly gathered her thoughts.

She waited a while. However, Count Golos did not speak to her as she had expected.

"Your Excellency?" she whispered.

No ghost responded.

What about Count Golos?

not there?

This surprised her somewhat.

However, now that she has fulfilled Count Golos's request, she shouldn't be harassed again when she returns, right?

Song Yufei looked into the noodle shop.

Did other players or vengeful ghosts see you kill someone?

Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway.

She lifted her foot and walked out of the noodle shop.

Ren Zhizhe should be driving the ghost car over soon, so she needs to hurry to the street in front of the noodle shop and wait for it.

Next, they would return to the Beixia Hotel. Song Yufei was confident that this process would proceed without any problems.

I just don't know how long it will be before I can come out again after returning to the Beixia Hotel.

It should be soon, right?

……

Noodle shop.

After Song Yufei left, the limbed ghost slowly emerged.

He stood facing the direction Song Yufei had left, puzzled for a long time.

"just……"

It must be that a human or a vengeful ghost triggered the killing rule.

He had initially suspected that the guest Ren Zhizhe had brought was human. But now it seemed that something had triggered the other party's killing instincts?

It’s weird.

Humans couldn't possibly have rules about killing. So, did he misjudge the situation? Did Ren Zhizhe bring not a human, but a vengeful ghost?

However, he added a spice from "Worry-Free Buffet Restaurant" to Song Yufei's clear soup noodles.

After consuming it, the person who eats it will emit a certain odor. All the vengeful spirits that pass by the person who eats it, regardless of whether they have a nose or not, can smell it.

Humans have one scent, and vengeful spirits have another.

If it's a human, the scent will persist. If it's a vengeful ghost, the duration of the scent will depend on the intensity of the killing rules.

The scent emanating from Song Yufei was clearly that only a human could emit.

Why is this happening?

The grotesque ghost couldn't understand it. However, he didn't have time to think about it now.

Currently, an even stranger question awaits him than whether Song Yufei is human or ghost—

"What exactly triggered the murder rule just now?"

Just now, Song Yufei was the only person in the noodle shop.

He even took a moment to go back and check, which is why he arrived a little late. All the other ghosts in the noodle shop were fine, and even the players were alright.

The noodle shop didn't mention any human or ghost deaths. Therefore, the deceased was definitely not a staff member of the noodle shop.

This is even stranger.

Surely you can't just use murder rules that target tables and chairs?

Did someone or a ghost just enter the noodle shop?

The twisted limbs moved silently in the air, as if hesitating or thinking.

Finally, he focused his attention on a seat by the window.

Song Yufei seemed to be looking at this spot before she left. So, should we go check it out?

The limbed ghost didn't hesitate for long before walking over.

The headless corpse was still lying on the ground.

Blood gushing from the severed head splattered all over the tables, chairs, and floor.

"There's nothing there? That's strange," the limbed vengeful ghost muttered to itself.

Even when he stepped on a pool of blood, he was completely unaware and couldn't see anything in front of him.

He crouched down and touched the ground a few times with a hand that had detached from his torso.

His fingertips touched the chest of the headless corpse. But even so, the limbed vengeful spirit remained unresponsive, as if it were touching nothing more than air.

"How strange..." The voice of the limbed vengeful ghost grew softer and softer.

His rules of killing are related to touch. If he touches something, even if he can't see it, his rules of killing should react accordingly.

Nothing happened.

In other words, there really is nothing here?

The grotesque ghost withdrew its hand. By now, the hand was covered in blood from groping around.

But he was completely unaware, and just like that, his blood-stained hand went back into his body.

"That's enough."

The limbed vengeful ghost gave up thinking.

He has other things to do and doesn't have time to waste on this.

With a rustling sound, he returned to the noodle shop's kitchen.

The body that had fallen to the ground changed shortly after he left.

Fresh blood began to flow back.

Its head rolled out on its own.

The headless corpse got up from the ground, picked up its head, and used its hand to put it back on its neck.

"count?"

The man twisted his neck in the direction Song Yufei had left, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his seven orifices.

"Gurgle."

Because of the violent twisting of his neck, his head fell to the ground again.

His head hit the ground, and blood gushed out once more.

This time, the man seemed like a broken fire hydrant.

The ceiling, floor, tables, chairs... of the noodle shop

They were all covered in blood.

The blood was all flowing. It covered the surface and began to seep inside.

In the blink of an eye, the once clean noodle shop was transformed into a scene resembling a dismembered body.

The man's eyes flickered slightly as he looked in the direction of the limbed, vengeful ghost.

In an instant, the limbed vengeful ghost also turned into an out-of-control "fire hydrant".

But the vengeful spirit of the limbs didn't seem to realize this, and continued to walk around the noodle shop, helping to spray blood everywhere.

If the blood splashes onto a vengeful spirit, it will lie dormant, thus helping the vengeful spirit to spread the blood, while avoiding a direct clash with the vengeful spirit's rules.

If it were a player, this bloodthirsty demon wouldn't have much patience. He would simply kill the human and turn them into a vehicle like this man's.

However, these new modes of transportation are clearly not as convenient as the man he is currently controlling.

Before they are completely soaked in blood, these new modes of transportation can still be noticed by other vengeful spirits.

"Gaba".

With a crisp crack, the blood demon finally fixed the man's head back in place.

He stood there with his head tilted to the side, in an extremely awkward posture, as if he were sensing something.

"count?"

He repeated the two words again.

"count……"

Under the control of the blood demon, the man's lips curled up in an incongruous manner.

He walked stiffly out of the noodle shop and headed towards Song Yufei.

But he was too slow. Before he could even leave the noodle shop, Song Yufei had already gotten on the ghost car and been sent away by Ren Zhizhe.

"count."

He stood still in the spot where Song Yufei had stood, gazing into the distance in the direction the ghost car had gone.

The next second, the man's body swelled up.

Finally, he burst like a balloon, his limbs and head scattered all over the ground, clearly abandoned.

Blood spurted into the sky, then exploded into a blood mist. Under the cover of night, the blood mist began to spread freely throughout the area.

"whee."
