I dare not fight.
The twin brothers in red robes suddenly fell silent, and the younger brother who had just made a move broke out in a cold sweat.
I really dare not fight anymore.
Not only because fighting might anger the Green-Capturing Ghost, but also because this newcomer in red robes is too fierce!
Ferocious to the extreme, with blood mist surging.
DJ stepped back behind the turntable, crouched down, only showing half of his head.
He took out his phone and sent a text message.
"Are you still looking for trouble?" Yu Xing smiled, looking terrifying but actually no different from paper tiger. Others could only see a pair of black, narrow phoenix eyes through the eye sockets of his mask.
"No, we apologize for our rudeness to the senior today. We will leave now." The twin brothers in red robes apologized to Yu Xing and hurriedly tried to leave.
Coincidentally, at this moment, there was a commotion in the Forgetfulness Hall, where it was rumored that there were living shadows among the ghosts.
The twin brothers in red robes rushed towards the Forgetfulness Hall as if they had found their target, without stopping for a moment.
Even in the completely empty Yellow Springs Hall, Yu Xing could hear the commotion next door, as if there were ghosts shouting--
"The waiters are among us, they have secretly killed many ghosts!"
"Damn it, I must eat them!"

"Have you counted how many they killed while we were looking for the waiters?"
"One shadow, three white-robed ghosts, twelve despondent ghosts!"
...
Fifteen minutes ago.
A deep and dark short sword sealed the throat of a despondent ghost.
Before the gray mist erupted, the body was grabbed and pulled down by a slender and powerful hand, silently. The gray mist floated at the height of the legs and was quickly dispersed by a pair of legs.
The surrounding specters were still clamoring, "Quick, not only the shadow, there must be waiters disguised as despondent ghosts. I don't believe they are all as powerful as exorcists!"
Little did they know, right under their feet, a disregarded gray robe lay on the ground.
Zhao Yijiu hid the short sword, stepped on the gray robe, and skillfully hooked it with the tip of his shoe, sweeping it into the bottom of an unattended booth.
Then he followed the crowded flow of ghosts, moving slowly.
A black shadow enveloped the sword, and the eyes behind the mask showed no emotion, like lifeless objects.
The tall figure blended into the shadows, not at all out of place among the surrounding specters, and even more like a ghost than them.
He was a low-key shadow.
Although many people noticed him, they quickly recognized that he was the waiter sent by the red-robed malevolent ghost to find the waiters. They stopped paying attention to him and focused on searching for the living among the ghosts in the hall.
As they searched, some ghosts complained, and some were filled with anger.
Blaming the unfamiliarity of the black shadows.
The despondent and white-robed ghosts were still in the stage of joking with their friends, while the red-robed ghosts had a notorious reputation. Only the black shadows, who had no friends and were not well-known, were left out.
The black shadows were destined to be lonely, even if they came to the bar for entertainment, they were still solitary ghosts, and they were proud and fierce. Not many ghosts would get to know them.
So it was very difficult! It was difficult to find!
There were a total of nine black shadow ghosts in the Forgetfulness Hall, and none of them were familiar. This meant that the specters could not use the process of elimination to identify the arrogant waiter who killed a white-robed ghost in front of the red-robed ghost.
They couldn't directly confront him, because the black-robed ghosts were already the highest-ranking existence in the Forgetfulness Hall.
Once they made a mistake, the ferocious black shadows would not forgive them.
Moreover, the black shadows were also suspicious of each other, and many lower-level specters were waiting for them to compete with each other!
Zhao Yijiu was actually the one who was suspected the least, because everyone assumed that he was on the same side as the red-robed ghost, and even the subordinate of the red-robed ghost who leaked information about the waiters to them. Therefore, this slender and cold black shadow was definitely not a waiter.
Eliminating one correct answer at the beginning.
There were too many specters, and occasionally there would be particularly crowded situations. When it was too crowded, naturally no ghost would notice. The ghost who was shouting "Go and check ahead" next to him in the previous second would disappear in the next second.
They were all killed by a diligent black shadow and dragged into various corners of the shadows.
The specters were clamoring, cursing, and even more frustrated because they dared not smash the Green-Capturing Ghost's liquor.
"Why is the waiter so good at hiding today!?"
"It wasn't like this before. We would scare them away as soon as we approached, and they would be found in no time!"
The specters felt strange, but Zhao Yijiu did not.
It was natural that it was difficult to find them, because before today, the bar's waiters were humans who existed in this "absurd world".
Most of them were ordinary people, and occasionally two could disguise themselves as white-robed ghosts or black shadow ghosts, possibly exorcists according to the setting of this world.
But today, deductionists came.
Although deductionists did not possess exorcism techniques, they were all meticulous thinkers who had experienced several deductions, not to mention the various sacrifices they had with them.
If they were lucky and the red-robed ghost did not interfere, and the deductionists were careful enough, it was not impossible for all of them to survive, or maybe only one or two would die.
Zhao Yijiu pursed his lips and stopped thinking about the reasons. He fixed his gaze on a white-robed ghost who was cursing living people with great enthusiasm and silently moved closer.
This was the task given to him by Yu Xing, to kill as many specters as possible in the crowd and earn points and underworld currency.
The white-robed ghost's mouth, which was always disgusting, closed forever.
At first, it went smoothly, but as he killed the eleventh specter, some ghosts finally started to pay attention to him.
It was another black shadow.A disheartened ghost fell, and as Zhao Yijiu just put away his weapon, he felt a malicious gaze through the layers of specters. His pupils contracted as he looked back, only to see a deathly white mask staring at him.
In the middle of the mask, there was only one eye socket, in which a black eyeball, much larger than that of an ordinary person, was spinning around.
"So it really is you."
Apart from the mask, the shadow was all black. Its eyes were filled with excitement and bloodlust, as if it had spotted its prey.
"I've found you, poor little servant."
The eerie voice, like a murmur, entered Zhao Yijiu's ears, but the white-robed ghost and the disheartened ghost beside him didn't notice. This must be one of the abilities of the Shadow Ghost.
In many stories, only those targeted by ghosts can hear and see them. You scream in fear, your mind in a daze, but others don't understand and ask if you're not feeling well or hallucinating. No matter what you say, they tell you - "Go home and get some sleep. Don't overwork yourself."
How tragic.
You, who are targeted by ghosts, cry out in fear, but what awaits you is the ignorance and mockery of others. Perhaps it's better if someone calls you insane. What's terrifying is when others treat it as a joke, trying to reassure a person who could die at any moment with insincere concern, "You're overthinking it. Stop playing around. You'll be fine."
At this moment, the ghost is laughing at you, while others are still telling you that there are no ghosts in this world.
This is what truly drives people to despair.
Zhao Yijiu coldly locked eyes with the shadow, fully aware that his earlier actions had been seen by this Shadow Ghost.
