Outside the room.

The hallway was dimly lit.

The delivery guy stopped pretending at this point; he was just a delivery charlatan.

His eyes were as black as ink, without pupils, and his face was as pale as snow, as if he had applied several layers of foundation.

What's most terrifying is its huge mouth.

Both cheeks were split open, all the way to behind the ears, filled with jagged, sharp teeth. Judging by the width of the opening, it could probably swallow a human head.

It can sense that the food delivery has been opened by the person inside.

According to the rules of death, we can prepare to eat.

Descending to Earth, this was its first target.

Suddenly I felt a little impatient. I had heard Old Ghost say that fresh, living people were not only delicious, but eating them could also enhance the power of the supernatural.

Drops of saliva dribbled from the corners of his mouth, falling onto the ground with a soft patter.

It's hungry!

"Knock knock knock!"

The knocking became more forceful, the sound echoing in the stairwell, but there was no response from inside.

The delivery guy seemed a little angry; he could sense that the human was inside.

Since that's the case, we'll have to resort to some underhanded tactics.

It raised its hand and grabbed at the door lock, releasing an invisible force.

Turn the handle from the inside to open the door.

He then quickly walked into the room; there was no one in the living room, and no one in the bedroom either.

The target was finally found in the kitchen.

"Sir, the delivery was sent to the wrong address. Please return it to me."

The takeout delivery guy, drooling with disgust, couldn't wait to start eating.

However, according to the rules, the final step must be completed.

Even if the other party can offer ghost money as compensation, it still cannot devour them.

However, it is quite certain that living people cannot possibly know how to obtain ghost money, let alone possess it.

"I've already eaten!"

Xia Tianqiong was standing in the kitchen, eating her takeout.

He wasn't surprised at all by the eerie and terrifying appearance of the takeout.

This takeout is a braised pork dish. Although it was formed by a strange entity using the power of the underworld, it has a soft and tender texture that melts in your mouth, making it even tastier than real braised pork.

However, after eating, you don't feel full; instead, you feel a strange surge of energy flowing through your body.

I immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

It's like they've taken stimulants.

Seeing his starving appearance, the deliveryman felt contempt in his heart, but a cold smile appeared on his face.

"If you eat my takeout, you either pay me back or you lose your life!"

Xia Tianqiong asked, "How much? I'll pay for it."

"Eighty-eight yuan!"

"Here's a hundred, the rest is a tip."

"We only accept ghost money! If you don't have ghost money, you can pay with your life!"

The deliveryman was about to pounce on her as he spoke.

It was certain that the other party could not produce ghost money.

Xia Tianqiong suddenly stretched out her right hand, "Are you blind? Isn't this just ghost money?"

With his palm open, a silver ingot the size of a thumb gleamed metallically under the light.

The delivery guy stood there stunned, his dark eyes filled with surprise and resentment.

It really is ghost money, with a faint ghostly power on it, making it easy to tell the difference between real and fake at a glance.

"You...how could a living person have ghost money?"

It was unwilling to give up and was finally ready to open for business and taste the delicacies of humans. However, this guy took out ghost money and ended its rule of death.

I found it on the roadside!

Xia Tianqiong made it up on the spot.

Actually, just before the delivery guy opened the door, I suddenly remembered that there was a gas stove in the kitchen that could be used to light a fire!

After the ritual just now, the paper-folded silver ingots will be burned to ashes in the gas stove, and the ashes will turn into metal ingots.

It looks exactly like real silver.

If it were tested with instruments, it would be mistaken for real silver.

Of course, if you absorb the Netherworld power contained within it, it will turn back into ashes.

The ghostly deliveryman looked at the silver ingots with great interest. For ghosts, ghost money was not only currency, but also an important resource for cultivating and improving their strength.

But at this moment, it didn't want to accept money; it wanted to taste the flesh and soul of a living person to see what it was like.

But according to the rules of the Ghost Realm, they have no choice but to accept it.

Breaking the rules will lead to certain death!

The deliveryman, looking resentful, took the silver ingot and was about to speak when Xia Tianqiong suddenly said, "Give me my change!"

"..."

It paused for a moment, then weighed the silver in its hand; it was about three ounces.

The price quoted earlier was 88 yuan, which referred to the price of paper money for the dead, but what he received now was silver.

There are several forms of ghost money.

There are ancient gold, silver, and copper coins, as well as modern fancy paper money.

According to the conversion rules, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins.

Copper coins were equivalent to paper ghost money, with one copper coin being equal to one yuan.

In other words, the three taels of silver that Xia Tianqiong gave it were worth three thousand yuan in paper ghost money.

It needs to give the person over 2,900 yuan in ghost money.

"What? You can't break such a large denomination?"

Xia Tianqiong saw the delivery guy standing there motionless and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

The deliveryman's eyes flickered, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his terrifying face.

As a low-level wild creature, it never has the habit of saving money. Instead, it immediately absorbs any ghost money it receives to enhance its own strength.

Otherwise, it might be stolen by other strange entities.

"If you give me all this silver, I can let you go," the deliveryman threatened.

Although the monsters are bloody and cruel and have a penchant for eating people, they must follow their own unique rules when dealing with humans.

One cannot kill or rob without cause, nor can one even lie to humans.
