Leaving aside Mei Sijun's shock and doubts for the moment, Qin Manjiang and Xu Yi took a look at the situation and, after a moment's thought, roughly understood what had happened.
But if they were both Faceless Red-Robed Ghosts, why had the one Mei Sijun encountered turned into him?
Now was not the time to delve into that question. Qin Manjiang shouted:
"Throw the Jade Cicada over here! These red-robed ghosts are all guarding the Jade Cicadas!"
Mei Sijun did not hesitate. He immediately threw the Jade Cicada clutched in his hand to Qin Manjiang.
Qin Manjiang said quickly, "You can handle tossing and catching two at once too, right?"
"You should have asked that beforehand," Xu Yi replied.
"A juggler can keep three balls going alone. I believe in you. There are two of us taking turns here."
As Qin Manjiang spoke, he caught the Jade Cicada.
The Faceless Red-Robed Ghost whose face had become "Lin Yanqing's" immediately looked toward him and Xu Yi.
The sudden addition of another Jade Cicada affected them somewhat, but soon, the two regained their normal rhythm.
"Mr. Mei! There's another one backstage! Find a chance to get it, then find a way to meet us at the Opera Stage!"
Qin Manjiang shouted.
Mei Sijun watched the two run off again, tossing the two Jade Cicadas back and forth, as though they had merely been passing by.
But now there was another ghost behind them.
Two savage Red-Robed Vengeful Ghosts were right behind them, but whenever they tried to attack one of the men, that person became as though transparent, impossible to touch. When they attacked the other, he in turn became untouchable. Under this bizarre rhythm, the two ghosts were actually helpless against them!
But anyone could see that this was no solution.
