It can kill ghosts!

Did you hear that? You can kill the ghost now!

Yu Xing's eyes lit up, and she felt the atmosphere in the entire bar become cheerful.

This wasn't his imagination; things were indeed much more cheerful. However, the ghosts were happy because they could toy with the living, while Yu Xing was happy because he could...

Cough cough, no, I'm just a kind, gentle, and fragile human being.

Seeing that a ghost was starting to wander towards the stairs, he materialized his Persona Mask and put it on his face.

When he first acquired the Persona Mask, the deduction prompts told him that in certain types of deductions, visualizing it on his face would have special effects.

This simulation was his first experience with so-called special effects.

The mask fit her face perfectly, felt cool to the touch, and was as light as a feather. It had no straps; Yu Xing simply stuck it to her face, and it held in place by itself.

It's like an extension of the body; it doesn't need any external assistance and can be controlled like an arm.

Next, a ghostly aura emanated from the mask, and he felt as if his body was enveloped in something. Looking down, he saw that an ancient-style long robe was already on his body. The robe was initially gray, but it turned white in a very short time.

It wasn't over yet; Yu Xing realized this was the "disguised ghost level" mentioned in the prompt.

The white gradually deepened, turning into ink, and wisps of mist surrounded him like shadows. Then, a drop of blood red seeped out from the darkness.

"No way, if the level of a disguised ghost is defined according to the ability of the person performing the deduction..." Yu Xing suddenly felt a headache coming on. He felt that he might have been too high-profile.

The first streak of crimson appeared, then spread like wildfire, quickly covering the Black Shadow. The entire robe looked as if it had just been pulled out of the water, the crimson color flowing and leaving a ring of red bloodstains on the ground.

Then, starting from the fabric around the heart, blue vein-like patterns began to extend.

But as soon as it reached his shoulder, the blue tinge seemed to receive some message, gradually receding and eventually disappearing without a trace.

Yu Xing watched these changes with wide eyes, and after the blue color faded, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Sigh, thank you system for saving my life~"

Fortunately, the rule is that the disguise level cannot exceed that of the red-clothed person.

Otherwise, if he turned into a blue-robed figure, wouldn't he scare everyone to death wherever he went?

Zhao Yijiu was close to him, and after putting on the mask, she remained in the Black Shadow, then watched the whole thing from beginning to end.

He glanced at his own black clothes, then at Yu Xing's red robes that had almost turned blue, and said quietly, "You still dare to say that..."

Sensing a hint of resentment, Yu Xing coughed twice. "It's not important, it's not important."

Just then, a white-shirt Ghost wandering towards the stairs spotted them.

The white-shirt Ghost, initially excited because it heard voices behind the stairs, thought it had found the hidden waiter. However, it was then met with a black figure and a red figure, leaving it stunned.

Without a doubt, Yu Xing's disguise was that of a vengeful ghost in red, the mask on his face appearing as a bitter face dripping with blood.

Red-clad ghosts are rare, and the stronger the ghost, the fewer there are. For example, only the bar owner can reach the level of She Qing. In the entire bar, there are only two or three red-clad ghosts. The red-clad woman who initially struck up a conversation with Yu Xing was one of them.

There were only about ten Black Shadow; the majority were white-shirt Ghost and discouraged Ghost.

The white-shirt Ghost was shocked. Could it be that he could encounter a red-clad figure and a Black Shadow in any random corner?

"Excuse me, excuse me." It quickly bowed.

"Wait." Yu Xing looked behind it and found that no ghost was paying attention to them.

He skillfully concealed the mockery in his eyes, and beckoned to the white-shirt Ghost: "Come here."

Zhao Yijiu his right hand behind his back, while Stop Killing remained silent in the shadows.

The hierarchy among the ghosts is clear, especially now that everyone has released their auras. The white-shirt Ghost didn't dare disobey the red-robed ghost's words and walked over in a daze and with restraint.

"Did you come alone?" Yu Xing asked the white-shirt Ghost as if chatting casually. Hearing his tone, the white-shirt Ghost became even more uneasy.

"No, I came with some friends."

Yu Xing: "Where are they?"

The white-shirt Ghost swallowed hard. "I don't know, he probably went to find a human waiter..."

"Oh..." Yu Xing pretended to think, "Brother Jiu."

Ninth Brother? Who is Ninth Brother?

The white-shirt Ghost didn't understand, but a sense of crisis enveloped it. It subconsciously took a step back, and then it saw the masked Black Shadow move, as if something had brushed across its neck.

The next moment, my vision flickered, spun 360 degrees, and finally landed.

White smoke drifted from the separated corpse of the white-shirt Ghost, and the entire ghost then turned into thick white smoke that floated upwards.

It's like it's evaporated.

Yu Xing smiled nonchalantly and said to Zhao Yijiu, who was sheathing his sword beside him, "Impressive, Brother Jiu ~"

Zhao Yijiu was already expressionless, and now, wearing an equally expressionless mask, she became even more difficult to read her emotions.

He listened to the system announce his score of +50, completely unmoved by Yu Xing's perfunctory praise, "The white-shirt Ghost is weak."

"No, no, no, it's because you're powerful. The discouraged Ghost is weak, white-shirt Ghost at least has the ability to fight back. It's because your sword was too fast; it didn't have time to react," Yu Xing said confidently.

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

Okay.

"Come on, let's analyze the roles of each ghost in this activity." Yu Xing Zhao Yijiu seemed a little shy, Yu Xing, having achieved his mischievous goal, took the initiative to steer the conversation towards the main topic.

After a two-second silence, Zhao Yijiu said, "Go ahead."

"First of all, the ghosts are searching for us everywhere, and there are six people on the first floor. I've seen Lushan and Sheng Wan, and I also guessed before that Zhang Xiangling and Zhu Ming had stayed downstairs, so Chengzi and Xiao Yan didn't come down."

Zhao Yijiu: "Hmm."

"So the remaining six of us are in competition. We not only have to avoid being found by the ghost, but also avoid being discovered by the other four. Otherwise, it would be easy for them to pull some tricks and push us out."

Of course, Yu Xing wouldn't let that happen.

"Now, let's get back to the ghosts themselves. The white-shirt Ghost and the Black Shadow both reward points, which we have to kill if we want to win."

Yu Xing's slender fingers picked up the long robe left behind by the white-shirt Ghost on the ground and examined it.

"But the discouraged Ghost and the Red-Clad One, one weak and one strong, are rewarded with ghost money. It's conceivable that the items in that vending machine must be very attractive to the strategists. This is the strategist asking us to make a choice."

Yu Xing patted his long robe as he spoke, "By the way... you seemed to kill the white-shirt Ghost quite easily, but how about the Black Shadow? How long would it take you to finish it off?"

Zhao Yijiu glanced at him through the mask. "You don't seem worried that I won't be able to kill the Black Shadow."

"The Zhao family, a family so adept at scheming, has made an exception and trained you in this way, which means that making you an assassin is more useful than making you a strategist. I guess your body has at least some special characteristics; it shouldn't be weak, right?"

Yu Xing no qualms about stating the importance of the family's interests so directly in front of a younger generation like Zhao Yijiu; he believed Zhao Yijiu herself was aware of this.

Aside from Zhao Yijiu's older brother, Zhao Mou, how many other members of the Zhao family view him with "family affection" rather than judging him by "interests"?

Moreover, Zhao Mou and Zhao Yijiu are only considered to be from a collateral branch. If Zhao Mou hadn't recently become stronger and more famous, they might not have received any attention from the family at all.
