As a human who is still within the realm of the living, Yu Xing almost burst out laughing when he heard these words.

He chuckled and asked in a casual tone, "Oh, so scaring the living and making them experience death is your way of liberating them from oppression... Is this your idea or the Green-Capturing Ghost's idea?"

The Specter didn't think it said anything wrong. It thought that Yu Xing agreed with it, so it became a little bolder. "Th-this is the idea of us Specters, but the Green-Capturing Ghost boss also agreed with our viewpoint... We used to have parties every day, but then the Green-Capturing Ghost boss heard that we liked it, so now we have parties every day."

"Well, this boss of yours is really good to you," Yu Xing said softly.

The Specter couldn't sense the Eerie tone in Yu Xing's words. "Yes, yes! Many ghosts like the Green-Capturing Ghost boss. It has also said that it wants to do interesting things."

"Interesting things..."

Interesting things, like capturing living people and using their lives to amuse these specters?

The Specter continued to explain, "The Green-Capturing Ghost boss has lived for too long. If it doesn't find something interesting to do, it will be bored."

Living for too long can be boring.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Yu Xing's finger trembled imperceptibly, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly behind his mask.

That statement was not wrong. If he hadn't been bored, how could he have developed his current theatrical personality?

Testing others' reactions through various actions was also a form of amusement.

Humans are fickle. Three years are enough to change a person, and even the transition from high school to college can completely overturn a person's worldview.

Yu Xing had also been timid and cautious, serious and gentle, cold and aloof.

These past true personalities had disappeared with time, at most, only remaining in his memories that he could easily forget.

Indeed, it was boring, so he wanted to have some fun. From this perspective, the Green-Capturing Ghost was not wrong.

But from a human perspective, the Green-Capturing Ghost was completely wrong. It was using a cloth filled with mistakes to plug a hole that would never stop expanding.

This was the reason why Yu Xing commanded Zhao Yijiu to kill in the ghost crowd and why he himself killed the Specter's girlfriend without feeling any guilt.

The perspectives of the living and the specters were different. Perhaps in this absurd world, specters viewed the living as humans viewed livestock.

Who would feel sorry for livestock when they died?

The ghosts participating in this event were all voluntary, indicating that they agreed with the Specter's rhetoric. They had long forgotten their experiences as living beings and completely placed themselves in an opposing position to the living. So, even if these specters disappeared into thin air, Yu Xing wouldn't feel guilty for a second.

"Alright, since you've come so many times, do you know what's in the vending machine?" Yu Xing returned to the main topic and glanced at the Specter.

The Specter's praise for the Green-Capturing Ghost was interrupted, but it didn't dare to get angry. After hearing Yu Xing's question, it hesitated for a moment and said, "Vending machine? The automatic vending machine?"

"Are you questioning me?" Yu Xing's tone was unfriendly and impatient.

"Ah, no, no, I'm sorry!" The Specter was scared and almost cried again. It carefully recalled and hesitated, "This vending machine is of no use to us. I heard that it was specially set up by the Green-Capturing Ghost boss to give the living a chance to resist."

"I was curious the first few times I came and went to take a look, but I couldn't understand it. There are many strange little things inside, and the compass is the most normal. The remaining items are very peculiar, and I don't recognize them."

The vending machine placed by the Green-Capturing Ghost in the Yellow Springs Disco was a chance for the living to resist?

Yu Xing neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Heh, I see so many ghosts staring at the vending machine. Is this a chance for the living, or is it a trap for the living to fall into?" The Specter shook its head. "N-no, that's not it! The Green-Capturing Ghost boss said that only by finding the correct way can you safely purchase items. Since the parties started, there have been occasional instances where the living successfully found the purchasing method and survived."

Very well.

So, to safely use the vending machine, one needs to find a special way.

This was the clue that Yu Xing needed. He always felt that the way the vending machine existed was strange. If it was meant to sell things, it shouldn't be placed where specters could constantly watch it.

Either it was using the gimmick of the vending machine to lure the living to expose themselves voluntarily, or there was another method.

After all, the vending machine was something recognized by the system. Compared to the specters, Yu Xing had a relatively high level of trust in the system. He was inclined to believe in the latter possibility.

There was a way that a living person could accomplish it, but it wasn't something that could be easily thought of...

Yu Xing filtered through everything that happened in the bar in his mind. After a while, he let out a knowing chuckle as the Specter retreated anxiously."The path has always been right before our eyes."

"Rumble..."

The overturned empty trash can was bumped by the disheartened Ghost, rolling in an arc on the ground.

Yu Xing watched the disheartened Ghost that had reattached itself to the wall. He reached out and pulled it in front of him.

He drew a strand of curse power, ready to imprint it on the disheartened Ghost.

"You...you said you wouldn't kill me!" Feeling the terrifying power in Yu Xing's hand, the disheartened Ghost struggled violently, exuding a sense of panic and despair as if it was about to make a comeback. "I answered everything, everything I said was true! You said..."

Yu Xing laughed creepily, not at all like a protagonist. "Don't expect me to keep my word. I never keep promises when it comes to things I don't like."

He leaned closer to the disheartened Ghost. Since he couldn't see its expression, he wanted to remove its mask.

Yu Xing pinched the edge of the mask and lifted it. "You've seen so much despair in the eyes of the living. Isn't it retribution to one day reveal the same emotion from your own eyes? Hmm? Consider it...me, the Red Coat, bullying you."

The skin behind the mask was very white, not the usual pallor of Yu Xing, but a cold white.

However, before Yu Xing could see anything, he heard cheers from outside the restroom. "Caught him!"

"We caught the waiter! Hahaha... Eat him, eat him. He's killed so many ghosts, it's time for him to taste being torn apart by ghosts."

Yu Xing's attention was distracted for a moment, and the disheartened Ghost took this opportunity to turn into a gray mist. Although it regained its physical form just a second or two later, it was enough to slip away from Yu Xing.

As it ran towards the restroom exit, it shouted, "Spare me!"

"..." Yu Xing squinted his eyes, surprisingly not pursuing. He just stood there until the disheartened Ghost opened the restroom door and blended into the lively atmosphere of the Underworld Hall.

He flexed his fingers and then walked towards the circle of ghosts. The person shouting to tear the waiter apart was in the center of the circle.
