Vol.5 - Chapter 17 – Zhao Yijiu's cultivation method

You can kill ghosts!

Did you hear that? You can kill ghosts now!

Yu Xing's eyes lit up, feeling that the atmosphere of the entire bar became cheerful.

It wasn't just his imagination, it really did become much more cheerful. However, the specters were happy because they could play with the living, while Yu Xing was happy because he could...

Ahem, no, I am just a kind and gentle fragile human.

Seeing that some specters were starting to sway towards the stairs, he materialized his persona mask and put it on his face.

When he first obtained the persona mask, the deduction prompt told him that wearing it on his face during certain deductions would have special effects.

And this deduction was his first experience of these so-called special effects.

The mask fit perfectly on his face, cool and light as a feather. It had no straps, Yu Xing simply stuck it on his face and it stayed in place on its own.

It was like a part of his body, requiring no external force to control.

Next, a ghostly aura emanated from the mask, and he felt his body enveloped in something. Looking down, he saw an ancient robe already draped over him. The robe was initially gray in color but quickly turned white in a short amount of time.

Not yet finished, Yu Xing realized that this was the "disguised specter level" mentioned in the prompt.

The white gradually deepened, turning into ink black. Wisps of ethereal mist surrounded him like shadows, and then, a drop of blood red seeped out from the darkness.

"No way, if the disguised specter level is defined according to the deductionist's own abilities," Yu Xing suddenly felt a headache, thinking that he might be too ostentatious.

As the first hint of blood red appeared, it quickly spread like wildfire, covering the darkness. The entire robe looked as if it had just been pulled out of blood, with the color flowing and leaving a circle of red stains on the ground.

Afterwards, starting from the fabric around his heart, blue veins-like patterns began to extend.

But when it reached his shoulders, this touch of blue seemed to receive some kind of information and gradually retracted, disappearing without a trace.

Yu Xing watched these changes unfold, and after seeing the blue fade away, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Ah, thanks to the system for saving my life."

Fortunately, the rule was that the disguised level would not exceed the red robe.

Otherwise, if he turned into a blue-robed specter, wouldn't he scare everyone wherever he went?

Zhao Yijiu was close to him, stabilizing himself in the darkness after putting on the mask, and he watched the whole process from beginning to end.

He looked at his own black robe, then at Yu Xing's red robe that almost turned blue, and murmured, "You still say..."

Feeling a sense of resentment, Yu Xing coughed twice, "It's not important, not important."

Just at this moment, a white-robed ghost wandering towards the stairs noticed them.

The white-robed ghost had hidden behind the stairs because it heard voices, thinking it had found a hiding waiter. It was excited, but when it saw a black-robed and a red-robed figure approaching, it froze in place.

There was no doubt that Yu Xing's disguise was that of a red-robed malevolent ghost, and the mask on his face took the form of a sorrowful face dripping with blood.

Red-robed malevolent ghosts were rare, and the stronger the ghost, the fewer there were. Like Green-Capturing, only the bar owner could reach this level. In the entire bar, there were only two or three red-robed malevolent ghosts, and the red-robed woman who initially approached Yu Xing was one of them.

There were only about ten black-robed figures, while the majority were white-robed ghosts and disheartened ghosts.

The white-robed ghost was shocked. Could it be that you could encounter a red-robed and a black-robed figure in any corner?

"Sorry for the disturbance." It quickly bowed.

"Wait." Yu Xing's eyes looked behind it and found that no other ghosts were paying attention to this side.

Concealing his mockery well, he waved to the white-robed ghost, "Come here."

Zhao Yijiu had his right hand behind his back, the Stop Killing technique dormant in the shadows.

The specters were clearly divided into levels, especially now that everyone had released their aura. The white-robed ghost dared not defy the words of the red-robed ghost, and it walked over hesitantly.

"Are you alone?" Yu Xing asked the white-robed ghost casually, as if chatting with an old friend. The more the white-robed ghost listened to his tone, the more uneasy it became.

"No, I came with a few friends."

Yu Xing: "Where are they?"

The white-robed ghost swallowed nervously, "I don't know, maybe they went to find human waiters."

"Oh." Yu Xing pretended to ponder, "Brother Jiu."

Brother Jiu? Who is Brother Jiu?

The white-robed ghost didn't understand, but it felt a sense of crisis. It subconsciously took a step back, and then it saw the figure wearing the mask move, as if something had brushed against its neck.

The next moment, its vision shook, rotating 360 degrees before finally falling to the ground.

White smoke rose from the severed body of the white-robed ghost, and the entire ghost turned into thick white smoke and floated upwards.

As if it had evaporated.

Yu Xing smiled indifferently, and said to Zhao Yijiu, who was sheathing his sword, "Impressive, Brother Jiu."

Zhao Yijiu had no expression to begin with, and now wearing a mask with the same expression, it made it impossible to discern his emotions.

He listened to the system's announcement of 50 points and felt no response to Yu Xing's insincere praise, "The white-robed ghost was weak."

"No, no, it's because you're amazing. Disheartened ghosts are weak, but at least white-robed ghosts have some resistance. It's just that your sword was too fast, it didn't have time to react." Yu Xing confidently declared.

Zhao Yijiu: ""

Alright.

"Come, let's analyze the roles of each ghost in this event." Yu Xing looked at Zhao Yijiu, who seemed a bit shy, achieving his own twisted goal and actively steering the conversation towards the main topic.

After two seconds of silence, Zhao Yijiu said, "Go ahead."

"Firstly, the specters are now searching everywhere for us, and there are six people on the first floor. I have seen Lu Shan and Sheng Wan before, and I also speculated that Zhang Xiangling and Zhu Ming have been staying downstairs, so Orange and Little Yan haven't come down."

Zhao Yijiu: "Hmm.""So, the remaining six of us are in competition. We not only need to avoid being discovered by the specter, but also avoid being found out by the other four. Otherwise, they could easily manipulate the situation and push us out."

Of course, Yu Xing wouldn't let that happen.

"Let's get back to the specter itself. Both the White Robe Ghost and the Shadow reward points, which we must kill if we want to win."

Yu Xing's slender fingers picked up the long robe left by the White Robe Ghost on the ground and examined it.

"But the Grey Ghost and the Red Robe, one weak and one strong, reward underworld coins. You can imagine that the items in the vending machine must be very attractive to the deductionists. This is a choice that the Deduction is forcing us to make."

Yu Xing said this and patted his own long robe: "You seemed to kill the White Robe Ghost quite easily. What about the Shadow? How long would it take you to deal with it?"

Zhao Yijiu glanced at him through his mask: "You don't seem to be worried about me not being able to kill the Shadow."

"The Zhao Family, so adept at calculating, has chosen to train you in this way. It suggests that making you an assassin is more useful than making you a strategist. I guess your body must have some special characteristics, it shouldn't be weak, right?"

Yu Xing had no qualms about speaking so directly about the family's interests in front of a young man like Zhao Yijiu. He believed that Zhao Yijiu himself knew this.

Apart from Zhao Yijiu's biological brother, Zhao Mou, who else in the Zhao Family looked at him with "affection" rather than measuring him by "interest"?

Moreover, Zhao Mou and Zhao Yijiu were only considered side branches of the family. If it weren't for Zhao Mou's recent rise in strength and fame, they might not have received any attention from the family at all.
