Chapter 61 Commission: Kill the Ghost King! "Wow,...

"Wow, it smells so good!" Scarlu was the first to pull out a seat and sit down. "Are you ready so quickly? Aurora, you're really amazing!" The young man with strange makeup gave a thumbs up.

Players who can’t help but praise: “Hehe, thank you very much.” Don’t be careless and praise me a few more times!

"That being said," Reborn looked at the player who was pretending to be embarrassed, his lips curled slightly, and a hint of smile appeared in his dark eyes. "Aurora, your little tail is already higher than anyone else's."

Player: "...Damn it, what do you care?" The player can do whatever he wants.

The venomous snake sat down silently. "It's free food, it would be a waste if you don't eat it."

Willard was eager to research. "I want to see what the difference is between these special ingredients."

Luche smiled gently, "Maybe there will be a big surprise?"

Feng apologized and thanked him, "Thank you for your help, Miss Aurora."

Lal Mirchi was a little stiff. "Thank you."

After all the guests were seated, the player began her performance.

Hehehe, just wait and see, wait for the players to scare you all!

"Is there anyone who doesn't eat pasta?" the player asked, looking up. Seeing a group of people shaking their heads, he nodded in satisfaction. "Then the first main course will be this super delicious creamy matsutake pasta."

"What a long name! Will it taste good?" said Scarlu.

"Oh, that's a long name because this super delicious creamy matsutake pasta is my homemade dish," the player said, "so I have full naming rights."

"Okay, stop! No more questions!" Stopping Scarlu, who was about to speak, the player took out a handful of vegetables, such as sweetheart tomatoes, tender lettuce, etc., and began to process them skillfully, saying, "For various reasons, we won't have the aperitif."

"Here is my homemade sweet wine. It's a light sweet drink with a low alcohol content. If you're interested, you can try it." The player winked at Luche.

Luche smiled amusedly.

"The appetizers are thinly sliced ​​prosciutto, vegetable salad, and some pickled vegetables from China, but this can is also a homemade version." Eight plates of ham and pickled vegetables taken out of the can had been quickly cut by the players beforehand and were now placed in front of each seat.

Only the vegetable salad needs to be made fresh, but this is a piece of cake for players.

"The first hot dish is super delicious creamy matsutake pasta." Players boil the pasta and place it on a plate. Then, thinly slice the super creamy matsutake mushrooms and pan-fry them. Add a small piece of butter, onion, and other ingredients and mix them together... The pasta topping is now ready. Finally, just add everything together and serve!

"The second meat dish is pan-fried lobster fish." The fish was freshly caught by the player in a nearby river. Thank goodness the system didn't take away this privilege! This kind of fresh food is best enjoyed in its natural flavor. So the player's recipe is simple: just a little salt, a little oil, and careful heat.

"Dessert is the result of everyone's game - Screaming Apple Pie. It's now in the microwave." There are eight apple pies. The three apples with the highest deliciousness level were made into Screaming Apple Pies by players, and the rest were turned into apple slices, apple juice and boiled apples.

"The drinks are rainbow juice and aromatic espresso. They've been prepared in your upper right corner." Things that are prepared in advance are good; you just need to explain them.

"Done! A simple Italian meal!" The player threw off the hat that was holding his hair back. "Please don't be shy and eat!"

"tasty!"

"tasty!"

…

Everyone took a tentative first bite, and then their eyes lit up immediately!

Mission Completed

[Task rewards have been distributed to players' backpacks]

It was well received indeed!

**

After eating and drinking, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. The unwelcome Grid Face appeared in the wooden house where everyone was gathered on time - still an illusion projection.

The originally good atmosphere suddenly became solemn again.

"Good evening, everyone. It seems you all know each other quite well." The suddenly appearing man with a checkered face made no effort to disrupt the atmosphere, and immediately continued, "Well, then, I will present my first commission here."

"My first commission is to kill a man." The checkered face stopped talking and stretched out a finger.

"One man?" Scarlu took a bite of apple pie and stuck out his tongue because of the burn. "One man is worth so many of us fighting? You wouldn't be afraid even if it was a group of men?"

"It's definitely not that simple." Wille rolled his glasses. Judging from the game that day, those invited here were no ordinary people.

Not to mention myself, the illusionist and psychic Viper with whom I had cooperated a long time ago, and the mercenary Aurora who was in charge of special ingredients and with whom I had a dispute.

Lal Milci, an instructor from the Italian special forces, Scarlu, a well-known martial arts family, a stuntman who challenges his limits, the mysterious witch Luce... and Reborn, the world's number one killer.

None of the people present were simple characters.

Emperor Weil glanced at Queen Bourne with a mysterious look, then immediately shifted his gaze and lowered his head to think.

Reborn, the killer who had a 100% mission completion rate since his debut, if he only wanted to kill one man, he could have easily solved it by finding him. Why bother gathering them together...

Wille fell into deep thought.

"That man shouldn't be an ordinary guy, right?" The player took a sip of rainbow juice and said casually, "For example, he might be a demon or a monster. Or maybe a demon from hell." These are all common routines in the game.

"That's right!" Grid Face clapped his hands with a smile, "To be precise, that man is not a human, but a ghost, and a ghost among ghosts."

"Ghost?" Feng's expression changed uncertainly. He asked in surprise, "Is it the kind of ghost I'm thinking of?" A floating ghost? A ghost in human skin?

"To be more precise, they're cannibals," said the Grid Face. "They never see the sun and feed on human flesh and blood, yet they're incredibly powerful. They've spread all over the place, and traces of cannibals have been found in multiple countries."

"My commission is to kill the Demon King who controls the lives of all the demons, the ancestor of demons - Muzan Kibutsuji."

[Trigger the special mission "Seven Sons of Rainbow" - "Kill the Ancestor of Demons"

Mission content: A strange creature inexplicably appeared in Japan. The people were terrified and called it a "cannibal ghost". The cannibal ghost never sees the sun and feeds on flesh and blood. The ghost king who leads it distributes blood everywhere and trains humans to become his subordinates. It is indeed a great scourge to the world and everyone has the right to kill it.

Mission requirements: Assist your companions to kill the Ghost King.

Mission rewards: some experience, some money, mall coins +50, number of draws × 3, prop cards × 3, an ordinary sword, soul recovery speed +30%.

Note: All humans who have transformed into ghosts cannot be counted as humans.]

This note, doesn’t it mean that...!

The player sat up suddenly.

"A cannibal who never sees the sun and feeds on human flesh... a ghost?" Will Emperor repeated with some interest.

"Well, I have explained the commission clearly, and I look forward to your results." The grid-faced man waved his hand, and after saying the last sentence, he disappeared on the spot.

"You absolutely must not allow a cannibal to transfuse blood into your body. This is the most important point. Please remember this."

"What a troublesome task," Viper murmured. "Since the reward is high enough, I'll put in a little more effort."

"They only told us that the demon king we were going to kill was named Muzan Kibutsuji, but nothing else." Lal Milch said with a serious expression, "They actually feed on human flesh. This is really..."

"You can't let a cannibal ghost inject blood into your body..." Weldi said, "In other words, that ghost can turn people into ghosts in this way? And maybe it has already transformed a sufficient number of ghosts? Otherwise, that checkered face wouldn't have reminded us like this."

"Moreover, the Ghost King is likely to have control over all ghosts." At the end, Emperor Weil's tone became more and more firm.

"I've tried, but my writing can't find any trace of Muzan Kibutsuji." The venomous snake floated in the air, and the purple inverted triangle mark on the half of its face that was exposed silently grew larger. "It seems that some special force is blocking my perception."

"This means that more information is needed to successfully paste the text, so we can't find any trace of him for the time being."

"Just telling me the name is enough." Luche, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Facing everyone's somewhat puzzled looks, her pair of dark blue eyes looked at the void with some emptiness.

"...In Japan." Lu Qie said, "The ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, is currently in Japan."

"My ability is precognition." Luche smiled.

Everyone: “…”

He doesn't look impressive, but he actually has such powerful abilities?

The player looked at Luche, who was now full of divinity, and said in a daze, "This is the prophet." A perfect NPC in peacetime, a prophet who can seize the initiative even in wartime...

"This is so cool!" Players wanted to stick to Lucy even more.

"...Since it is the power of prophecy, then let's get up and go to Japan. Although he is the Demon King, he still has flaws." Reborn, who had been silent all this time, said.

Ignoring Scarlett's question about his flaws, the black-haired killer spoke again, "Being afraid of sunlight means it can only move at night. And because of this habit of not being able to see the light, this Muzan Kibutsuji might be extremely good at hiding."

"Besides, we don't know how many humans the Ghost King has transformed into ghosts, nor do we know if the existing weapons can affect him." Reborn said cautiously and thoughtfully, "Let's go over and investigate first."

"There must be an antidote within seven steps. Maybe there will be new clues in Japan." Feng nodded in agreement.

Everyone reached a unanimous agreement and decided to set off immediately to Japan to collect clues.
