He had dealt with Zong Liu.
Jiang Qiao deliberately waited there for a while, but no other enemies appeared.
"Nothing else?"
"That's it?"
Once he confirmed there were no more enemies.
He turned his attention to the deep pool.
According to what Zong Liu had just said, this was called the Hungry Ghost Pool, and it led to Hungry Ghost Hell.
And Hungry Ghost Hell...
That name reminded Jiang Qiao of some things from the past.
He had become the "Red Moon Restaurant Administrator" because he possessed a talent called "Supernatural Chef." That talent had once included a terrifying supernatural killing move called "The Last Banquet."
Once activated.
Its rules would trigger whenever the target sat down or stood lower than the table.
Their consciousness would be dragged into a mysterious space.
Darkness surrounded that space.
It connected to realms beyond comprehension.
At its center stood a table with an enormous platter on it. The target's consciousness, dragged into the space, would be placed on that platter for the evil spirits emerging from the darkness to devour.
And those evil spirits...
Were hungry ghosts!
They were a pack of evil spirits with no self-awareness, driven entirely by the instinct to feed.
Aside from eating.
They had no other thoughts.
When food was scarce, they would even devour one another.
Back at the Weird Tales Inn.
Jiang Qiao had dragged a ninth tier malevolent ghost into "The Last Banquet." It had been visibly surprised and mentioned that they had been trying to open "Hungry Ghost Hell," but had never succeeded.
Unfortunately.
It had never explained what Hungry Ghost Hell was, or what kind of evil spirits the hungry ghosts were.
"This pool is strange."
"I can't tell how deep it is."
"It feels both deep and shallow at once."
