Find the Living!

So, should we choose the first floor or the second floor?

Yu Xing a moment's thought, Yu Xing gently patted Zhao Yijiu's arm. "Go downstairs."

Although I don't know how long the event will last, it's definitely better to participate than to stay on the second floor.

Any uncertainty is a way for him to gain points.

Without further ado, the two turned and ran towards the "Bridge of Helplessness." However, at that moment, a guest rang the bell at an inopportune time.

"Ring ring..."

The bells on their wrists were also tugging at their skin, urging them to go to the guests' private room.

Zhao Yijiu ignored it completely, simply saying coldly, "It's so annoying, is it doing this on purpose?"

"Maybe. Although the supervisor told us not to let guests ring the bell a second time... now we can only let them wait." Yu Xing smiled, with a hint of smugness. "Anyway, if the guest who rings the bell tries to get revenge on us two disobedient waiters, they'll be kept on the second floor."

Thirty seconds was enough for them to finish thinking and run to the stairs. The two of them went down the cold Bridge of Helplessness and found that the ghosts who had been sitting quietly in the Wangchuan Wine Cafe had all stood up and were full of excitement.

"The activities of the photographer are always so interesting!"

Where are all the waiters?

Will the photographer participate in the event?

Listening closely, the ghosts' conversation fell into two categories: one concerned "Sheqing," and the other concerned their human servants.

In addition, Yu Xing seemed to have spotted Lushan and Sheng Wan acting suspiciously in the direction of the restroom.

It seems these two were closer to the stairs, so they came down faster than the others.

The blood on the Bridge of Helplessness began to churn. Yu Xing had only descended halfway when Zhao Yijiu whispered from behind, "Run faster."

"I'm so tired." Yu Xing felt like her lungs were about to explode.

Heaven help him, his physical strength has always been lacking...

So Zhao Yijiu half-carried him and led him away.

Almost simultaneously, the blood formed a shackle-like shape, firmly sealing the staircase and announcing that the second floor was currently closed.

Yu Xing had just stepped onto the first floor and hadn't even properly considered whether this She Qing was truly the legendary Sheqing Ghost, when the announcement came over the loudspeaker again. "The second floor has been separated. All customers participating in the event, please wear your masks!"

Mask?

Upon hearing the announcement, the guests removed one by one a hideous and bizarre mask from their bodies; some were half-crying and half-laughing, some had wide-open eyes, and some had blue faces and fangs.

The location of the Bridge of Helplessness stairs was rather secluded. Before the ghost guest noticed him, he nimbly circled around and hid in a dead corner behind the stairs with Zhao Yijiu.

Yu Xing just run past, and with his poor physique, he was now panting heavily, his face pale. After finally catching his breath, he looked outside with great interest.

After these ghosts put on masks, they covered their faces, and the ghostly aura hidden beneath their skin burst forth.

Their modern attire, such as suits and short skirts, has been replaced by long gowns of various colors, but the bar's decor remains unchanged, making the ghosts seem out of place in the bar, as if ancient ghosts have mistakenly wandered into the modern world.

A vengeful ghost in red, Black Shadow in black, white-shirt Ghost in white, and discouraged Ghost in gray—ghosts of different ranks coexisted in one space, creating a chaotic and terrifying surge of ghostly energy.

"Oh ho, so it's classified according to this level... Then the owner of this ' Sheqing Bar might really be a Green-Clad Sheqing Ghost." Yu Xing exclaimed, and Zhao Yijiu looked at him.

"Sheqing Ghost very powerful?"

"You didn't know?" Yu Xing asked in surprise. Didn't the Zhao family teach Zhao Yijiu about these things?

Sensing the Yu Xing's words, Zhao Yijiu said in a gloomy tone, "I don't need to learn this at home."

"Oh." Yu Xing, always feeling that Zhao Yijiu had a special relationship with the Zhao family. He chuckled, almost getting a beating from Zhao Yijiu. "Don't be angry, don't be angry~ I wasn't laughing at you~ Strictly speaking, the Sheqing Ghost isn't really a ghost anymore. In the blue, red, black, white, and gray ghost system, the Sheqing Ghost is particularly powerful, transcending the boundaries between humans and ghosts. It has a physical form, incredibly strong abilities, and cultivates by absorbing the corpse energy of corpses..."

This wasn't a very appropriate occasion, Yu Xing only gave Zhao Yijiu a brief explanation of what "Sheqing" was.

Many people say that those who die wearing red clothes will become vengeful ghosts, seeking revenge on their enemies or even taking their anger out on innocent people. Therefore, many people believe that vengeful ghosts in red clothes are the most ferocious.

In fact, the Sheqing Ghost is more ferocious than the Red-Clad Ghost. Legend has it that people with deep-seated hatred who cannot avenge themselves can lie in a coffin for forty-nine days without eating or drinking, thus cultivating themselves into a half-human, half-ghost, called the Sheqing Ghost.

The Sheqing Ghost is so named because its resentment is so strong that its bloodline reverses at the moment of death, and after forty-nine days, its blood turns green.

The body of the Sheqing Ghost does not stiffen after death; if it has the ability, it can be reborn and become a demon corpse. In addition, with proper cultivation, it can also have abilities such as passing through walls and appearing in broad daylight.

Of course, this is an ancient legend. In modern times, let alone big cities, even rural areas have gradually abandoned burial. It's not so easy to find a coffin to lie in for forty-nine days.

"So, the Green -Sheqing Ghost is stronger than the Red-Clothed Ghost, and we'll definitely die if we encounter it?" Zhao Yijiu asked calmly.

If that's the case, then the Sheqing Ghost probably won't appear in this deduction Yugi. Otherwise, if the Sheqing Ghost is the boss, there's almost no chance of survival, which doesn't match the difficulty level of the deduction before the Differentiation Tier.

Then he heard Yu Xing say, "No, it's you who will die, not me."

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

Well, it's always this mix of truth and falsehood, making it hard to tell when he's telling the truth, when he's joking, and when he's pretending to be weak.

The voice of the refined scholar Yu Xing had imagined came over the loudspeaker again, though it was most likely a scholar in blue robes. "The event officially begins! Today's party theme is: find the waiters hiding in various corners of the bar's first floor! Find them, and devour them! There are six waiters on the first floor this time, but one thing to note: they will fight back, so be careful not to get killed!"

Upon hearing the command, the ghosts cheered and immediately scattered.

Zhao Yijiu pushed up her glasses, feeling that this activity was far too malicious towards the participants.

There are only three halls in total, plus at most three toilets and one changing room. No matter how hard you try to hide, you can't hide for more than two minutes.

He was particularly interested in the last sentence of the broadcast.

Counterattack?

Fortunately, the system notification appeared in time.
