Did I push her too hard?
Right after that, another wooden table came flying over!
An Xinghe was already Level 7. His constitution had long since surpassed that of ordinary people, and with the help of his Fine Grade weapon, a wooden table like this could not hurt him at all!
But the female ghost seemed determined to fight him from a distance. Wooden tables kept flying toward An Xinghe!

[Are ghosts playing dirty now?] [I think she had no other choice.] [What turned a berserker who should have been a melee fighter into a little runt who can only throw tables? Society? No! An Xinghe!] [This ghost is pretty clever.] [Even if she wasn't clever, An Xinghe would have tortured her into becoming clever.] [Go, ghostie! You can do it!]
But there would always come a time when the tables in the prop room ran out.
After An Xinghe sliced apart a table, another mass of shadow charged toward him.
Looking at the shadow's six hands, he sneered.
You finally decided to come out, huh?
This time, An Xinghe did not use the scissors. Instead, he took out the spotlight!
But he did not aim the spotlight at the female ghost. He chose to... aim it at his own face!
Under the light, the female ghost saw An Xinghe's face clearly for the first time!
Chapter 23: Hello, I'm Patrick Star!
Under the light, the female ghost saw An Xinghe's face clearly for the first time!
At that moment, the female ghost froze.
The two hands she had aimed at An Xinghe's neck stopped in midair!
This man was a little too handsome, wasn't he?
Human beings shared the same yearning for and appreciation of beautiful things. Although Chen Lingyi had become a ghost and her consciousness was muddled,
she still could not bring herself to hurt the An Xinghe in front of her.

[Damn it! An Xinghe got to show off again!] [Isn't the range of targets affected by An Xinghe's charm a little too broad?!] [Can't learn it. This really can't be learned.] [Other players' trump cards are powerful weapons and skills. An Xinghe's trump card is his face.] [Look, the female ghost is backing away! She's backing away!] [This is my first time seeing a ghost voluntarily retreat in a horror game. She wasn't forced back, either—she was driven back by his looks.]
However, whenever the female ghost took a step back, An Xinghe took a step forward.
He looked very much like he was saying, If you don't kill me today, don't even think about leaving!
In the end, the female ghost could not take it any longer. She turned around and ran off with a series of whooshes.
How could An Xinghe let her escape just like that? He immediately chased after her.
But the female ghost was a six-armed ghost. She could climb walls and even run across ceilings.
Although An Xinghe was fast, he still lost track of her after passing through several rooms.
But he was not worried. He knew how the plot of the game would unfold, and finding the female ghost, Chen Lingyi, would not be difficult.
At that moment, he touched the Peach Wood Hairpin in his pocket.
What exactly was this hairpin for?
"Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring!"
A burst of hurried, old-fashioned telephone ringing interrupted An Xinghe's thoughts. He followed the sound, found the phone, and picked it up:
"Hello, I'm Patrick Star."
"..."
The person on the other end was stunned by An Xinghe's nonsensical opening.
Did I dial the wrong number? Should I ask if this is Krabby Patty?
"Ahem!" The woman's voice on the phone hurriedly coughed twice before saying:
"An Xinghe, you should be trapped inside a videotape right now, shouldn't you?"
An Xinghe gave an eerie laugh and played along:
"Yep. More precisely, I'm at the original site of the Hong Kong Mingyue Cantonese Opera Troupe."
"Did you encounter a Spider Ghost in there?!"
"Yeah, I'm so scared!"
The other party could hear that something was off in An Xinghe's tone.
Shouldn't an ordinary person be scared witless upon encountering a ghost? Why did it feel like An Xinghe was having a great time playing with the ghost...?
The other party shook her head, banishing the unrealistic thought from her mind, and said:
"I'll tell you how to get out of the videotape. You need to kill that female ghost!"
"The female ghost's lair is in the Cantonese Opera Troupe's Main Theater. There's also an Eight Trigrams Formation there."
"You only need to activate the Eight Trigrams Formation through the mechanism, and you can burn the entire troupe to ashes! The female ghost will die in it too! Then you'll be free."
An Xinghe pretended to suddenly understand:
"Oh, it's that simple! Thank you for your help, big sis! By the way, what's your name? That way, I'll know how to repay you."
The person on the other end was silent for a moment.
"You'll naturally learn my name in the future."
"Oh~ So big sis is mysterious! I was even planning to offer myself to you afterward!"
The other party did not continue listening to An Xinghe's nonsense and hung up directly.
An Xinghe's face instantly filled with a cold smile. He muttered to himself:
"Want to set me up? Then prepare yourself to be conned until you don't even have a pair of underpants left!"
An Xinghe put down the phone and arrived at the Main Theater.
It had long since fallen into ruin. The tables, chairs, and benches were all covered in spiderwebs.
Following his memories, An Xinghe found the mechanism that activated the Eight Trigrams Formation and shouted into the dark theater:
"Miss Chen, come out. Unless you want to be burned to death in the darkness."
After a rustling sound, the ghost Chen Lingyi had transformed into appeared before An Xinghe.
She did not understand why, if this man intended to kill her, he had called her out.
An Xinghe pulled a Peach Wood Hairpin from his pocket.
"Miss Chen, this hairpin belongs to you, doesn't it?"
The female ghost froze. Her face, which had already transformed into an opera makeup mask, stared fixedly at the hairpin before her.
After a long while, the female ghost reached out and took the hairpin, wanting to put it in her hair.
But she found that her hands, which had been replaced by Puppet Limbs, could not put the hairpin on properly no matter what she did.
In the end, she placed the hairpin in An Xinghe's hands with both hands and lowered her head before him.
An Xinghe understood. He took the hairpin and gently put it in the female ghost's hair.
At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out!
[Ding! Player An Xinghe completed the Hidden Quest Lost Peach Wood Hairpin!] [Reward: White Jade Ringing Bell Hairpin!]
Chapter 24: Have You Been Eating Properly?
[Ding! Player An Xinghe completed the Hidden Quest Lost Peach Wood Hairpin!] [Reward: White Jade Ringing Bell Hairpin!]
An Xinghe had not expected that putting a hairpin in the female ghost's hair would complete a Hidden Quest!
[Name: White Jade Ringing Bell Hairpin] [Type: Consumable] [Quality: Fine] [Effect: This hairpin can break through all barriers or shields. It disappears after one use.] [Note: My white hair grows shorter as I scratch my head; I almost can't hold my hairpin.]
When the White Jade Ringing Bell Hairpin's panel appeared in the live stream, it immediately caused a frenzy:
[Fine Grade! Another Fine Grade! And it's a Fine Grade consumable!] [This hairpin's effect is incredible! It can break through any barrier!] [Too bad it only works once. If it were unlimited, it would at least be Perfect Quality!] [You get a Fine Grade item just for putting a hairpin in her hair? This quest is way too easy!] [Anyone saying it's easy must have something wrong with their brain! You have to put a hairpin in a female ghost's hair!] [If it were another player, they could at most kill the female ghost, Chen Lingyi. Putting a hairpin in her hair would be impossible!] [It was all thanks to An Xinghe's Astonishingly Handsome looks raising the female ghost's favorability!]
