"Please have mercy, give me some food!"

The old beggar had gray, sparse, and messy hair, and a hunched back, but his steps were not slow. He walked past the other customers and went straight to Xia Tianqiong.

Xia Tianqiong was already on high alert, and when she saw the other party, she frowned even more.

He recognized him at a glance; this was the beggar ghost.

Why not look for someone else, but instead come looking for yourself?

It wasn't that I was afraid of it, but I was just a little puzzled.

Looking around, there were quite a few customers in the restaurant, and there were also security cameras, so it wasn't appropriate to take action directly.

"Take it and eat it!"

On the table was a plate of catfish stewed with eggplant, which the waiter had just brought over. Xia Tianqiong pushed the plate next to the beggar ghost.

The beggar's face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked extremely ugly. His grin could frighten even a child.

It slowly extended a finger and inserted it into the steaming plate of food.

The once delicious and flavorful catfish stew with eggplant rotted and decayed at a visible rate, turning into a plate of grayish-black powder in no time.

This is the Beggar's trick, "Rapid Aging," which is very damaging, but its drawback is that it requires physical contact to attack.

It stared at Xia Tianqiong with its pair of jet-black eyes without any whites, then suddenly let out a strange laugh, "Not enough, I want to eat more, so let me eat you!"

The lights in the room suddenly flickered rapidly, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The beggar slowly straightened up, his bones creaking and cracking. His body gradually grew larger, tearing through his tattered clothes and revealing a body that looked like a dried corpse.

"What's going on?"

"monster?"

"Run!"

This scene was witnessed by other diners, who all shouted and ran out of the restaurant.

In the blink of an eye, only Xia Tianqiong remained sitting there steadily.

He just looked rather pale.

He clearly hadn't triggered the beggar's death rule, yet the other party was still going to attack him.

The supernatural cannot harm humans who have not triggered the death rule, but this rule has a prerequisite.

Once a supernatural entity enters into an equal or human-master contract with a human, if a human orders a supernatural entity to harm other humans, and this is not the supernatural entity's intention, then it will not violate the rules.

In other words, the beggar in front of us is a monster contracted by someone else, and is attacking Xia Tianqiong at someone's behest.

Outside the restaurant, Bai Jingjing and Bai Yichen looked inside through the window.

"Take it easy, don't ruin the harmony, otherwise it will be difficult to talk later."

"Don't worry, he's already been told everything. They won't take his life."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingjing frowned immediately. "It's not a matter of life or death. It's best not to hurt him. Just test him. If we leave a bad impression, how will we recruit him?"

Bai Yichen shook his head, disagreeing with Bai Jingjing's words.

"Based on past experience, once an ordinary person has a strange contract and possesses abilities that ordinary people do not have, their mentality will change. If they cannot be intimidated or subdued, they will definitely not be willing to be recruited or driven."

"To be able to contract with at least three strange people in just two days, he must be no ordinary person. We can't treat him like other folk ghost hunters."

"You've seen his file too. He was an orphan from a young age, with no family background, and didn't even have a proper job in his twenties. This kind of person must be lucky to just happen to meet the strange contract conditions."

Bai Yichen was determined to give Xia Tianqiong a hard time, and Bai Jingjing, seeing that she couldn't persuade him, didn't say anything more.

While the two were talking, they had already started fighting inside.

The beggar bared his teeth and brandished his claws, about to pounce, but as soon as he took a step, he found that his legs were fixed in place and he could not move.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Tianqiong held the mirror up to it, and a suction force emerged, pulling it into the mirror.

Then the delivery ghost and the gambling ghost entered the mirror space together, joined forces with the mirror ghost, and beat the beggar ghost to a pulp.

Battles between uncanny opponents often do not employ the rule of death.

Especially those of the same level of strangeness, they prefer to attack each other directly using trickery or violence.

For example, at this moment, the gambling ghost used trickery to immobilize the beggar ghost, the takeout ghost opened its blood-red mouth and pounced on it to bite, and the mirror ghost copied more than a dozen of Xia Tianqiong's mirror clones and rushed up to punch and kick.

The beggar ghost was no match for them; its body was damaged, and streams of nether energy escaped from it.

"You insignificant little monster, how dare you come here to die!"

Xia Tianqiong held a mirror, watching the battle inside, and was quite satisfied.

In the future, when you encounter a wild-level monster, don't worry about its death rules, just take action.

He also instructed the mirror ghost to use the paper ingots he had previously folded to absorb the netherworld power scattered by the beggar ghost and transform it into ghost money.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, leaving Bai Yichen completely stunned.

It took me two seconds to realize what was happening.

"How is that possible? He instantly killed my Beggar Ghost!"

Bai Yichen's expression changed drastically, and he was about to rush into the restaurant when Bai Jingjing quickly grabbed him.

"Don't be impulsive!"

"Why are you stopping me? Go find him now, maybe we can still save my beggar ghost!"

"Don't forget our mission!"

Bai Jingjing whispered a reminder, "If you defeat him, it's fine to go see him now. But your Beggar Ghost was killed in one move. Do you think he'll respect us? Will he agree to be recruited?"

"But... but I only have this one strange creature. Without it, I would no longer be a ghost hunter."

Bai Yichen looked dejected. Without the strangeness, his treatment and status in the Bai family would also decrease.

Bai Jingjing reassured them, "Things are different now. It used to be that you could only encounter one strange creature every few years. Now, strange creatures are everywhere. With the experience that our Bai family has, it's not difficult to make a contract with a strange creature."
