Upon hearing the word "human," the cat clearly reverted to its hunting mode.

"It's late again."

Yin Zhu frowned as she stated the facts, seeing the boy in the couple push the girl away, trying to make her run away and block the attacking monsters, but a skeletal monster ripped out her heart with a single claw.

The girl wanted to turn back to save the boy, but didn't want his sacrifice to be in vain, so she could only continue running away with tears in her eyes.

Absolutely! We cannot let him down!

If a tragic drama were to unfold at this moment, then his passing would be completely meaningless!

I must survive!

"ah--"

Suddenly, she seemed to step on something, her high heels twisted violently, and she was about to fall.

Perhaps her consciousness affected her body; enduring the pain in her ankle, the girl regained her balance and continued running towards the edge of the market, while the ghost behind her dared not chase after her any longer.

One step, two steps...

The girl in the couple finally stepped out of the market, and the next second, countless skeletal hands rose up from the ground and grabbed her legs tightly.

Under such stimulation, the girl could no longer hold back and wanted to scream.

"Hmm!"

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she coughed violently, spitting out countless spider lily petals from her throat. Yet, she still felt increasingly unable to breathe, as if countless spider lilies were blocking her throat, trying to nurture the most beautiful flower within her body.

The lack of oxygen to her brain caused the girl's consciousness to gradually blur, and she was completely unaware that half of her body had been pulled into the soil by the skeletons.

4. Once you enter the market, you must complete at least one transaction before you can leave.

Yin Zhu could already foresee her tragic future.

"It's a bit of a pity. I thought I could get a piece of meat." The cat sighed again. "If I keep eating vegetables, I feel like I'm turning into a rabbit demon."

"It's okay, we'll buy one to take home and eat when we have money during the New Year."

Yin Zhu felt as if she had returned to the past.

When I was a child, I heard my elders say that in the past, resources were scarce, and almost every family could only eat meat once a year on New Year's Eve. Unlike now, every household can eat meat, and even instant noodles can contain a piece of meat the size of a little fingernail.

Since the Ghost Realm is sealed off, there is indeed no stable source of goods.

...No, it's not good.

Although Yin Zhu had been staying here for a day, immersing herself in the role of the little devil, she was not so much as to have defected to the enemy.

She hadn't forgotten that these monsters ate people.

If ghosts have a stable source of meat, it's as if humans have been domesticated by them, slaughtered and eaten like livestock. This is a terrible thing for humans.

However, Yin Zhu originally thought that only one aunt had gotten in, but she didn't expect there to be a couple as well.

Are there other people?

With this in mind, Yin Zhu told the cat, "I have something to do," and found Mei Ji in the market—a girl who suppressed her fear and pretended to be an ordinary ghost.

Although she acted very naturally, she was still a bit inferior to Yin Zhu.

This isn't about comparison; it's simply because Yin Zhu possesses a golden talent and isn't as afraid of rules. Besides, she had made various preparations before coming to this world; while the girl is a native human with no special abilities and no trusted advisory group behind her.

So, Maggie has done a very good job.

Although the previous couple did not survive, their genuine feelings and will to live before their deaths moved Yin Zhu, leading her to decide to help this human.

As for how far she can go in the end, that's not something Yin Zhu can interfere with.

After all, she is just a bamboo plucker now.

The reason the couple was identified as human by the monster was due to rule number six of the market rules: "If you see a man dressed in white with a bamboo pattern setting up a stall, please leave that stall immediately."

The rule was clearly written, but the couple still went to find the man, and they went straight to him.

In other words, they must have seen something they couldn't see themselves and believed that the man could help them, which is why they violated the rules of the ghost market.

This behavior confirmed to the stalking ghosts that they were human.

In other words, only humans can see certain things, while ghosts cannot, thus creating an information gap... Huh? Yin Zhu suddenly realized this problem, her face immediately turned pale, and she followed behind the cat with her head down.

She immediately dismissed the possibility that she was a ghost.

The chosen one cannot be a ghost, but for some reason, only they themselves cannot see the rule, just like the rule on the note at the beginning.

Yin Zhu still remembers that the rules she saw were completely opposite to the real rules.

Perhaps we could ask the think tank? But wasting a hint opportunity on such a trivial question seems completely unnecessary... There are still two hint opportunities left, which should be reserved for others.

After returning home with the cat, Yin Zhu rested for a while and then started helping Kappa make lunch to show that she was very useful.

No one will help you unconditionally.

Humans help each other for ulterior motives, whether it's for fame, profit, favors, or a clear conscience, not to mention ghosts and monsters that are born for various reasons.

This is also why Yin Zhu can always give reasons that others can't refuse when she wants to do something.

As long as you know what the other party is after, and address that accordingly, both parties can ultimately get a satisfactory answer, which can be described as a win-win situation.

However, after this meal, Yin Zhu also started "writing a diary".

The golden quill pen glowed faintly in her hand, but what she wrote was obscured by her body, leaving the viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream scratching their heads in frustration.

"Sister Sun, I'm begging you, please let me take a look!"

"What exactly was written? Is there anyone who can read written language? Can we guess what it is based on the amplitude of the feather vibrations?"

"Get lost, how can you tell?"

"Actually, you can tell a little bit. Yin Zhu was probably writing a diary. She didn't write much on the first line and quickly moved to the next line. On the second line, she kept moving her wrist back and wrote longer, but you can't tell exactly what she wrote."

"Tch, what a load of nonsense."

"It seems like I've finished writing. Could the photographer please give me a shot? I'll give you an extra chicken leg!"

"How are you going to give me an extra chicken leg? Are you going to be chosen and one of you die?"

"Pah, pah, pah, you can't say such unlucky things. I have elderly parents and young children to support, I can't be chosen as one of the chosen ones! Besides, I'm not very bright, it's impossible for them to choose me."

Amidst the curiosity of the viewers in the live chat, Yin Zhu folded the paper she had written on and put it in the drawer.
