Mirror space.
The matchstick girl was brought in, looking around curiously, yet also a little shy.
The delivery guy, having already received Xia Tianqiong's instructions, quickly came over, carrying a pink umbrella.
It opened its umbrella and squatted down next to the match girl, saying, "This will be your home from now on. There are many older brothers, older sisters, and younger brothers here who will protect you from the wind and snow."
The other contracted ghosts also gathered around, and this gathering always happened whenever a new ghost joined.
The triplets, Xiao Gui, were overjoyed to see that they were children about the same age as them.
However, one of the little monsters asked, "It doesn't seem as big as us, so why does it say we're its younger brothers?"
The delivery guy smiled and explained, "I'm not talking about you guys. There's another strange baby inside the master's body."
At this moment, the Snow Demon walked over, and the other contracted demons immediately made way for it.
It looked at the snow falling continuously from the girl's head, then at the umbrella, its face full of confusion, "Snowflakes are so beautiful, why do you want to block them?"
The match girl spoke for the first time, "I don't like snow."
"If you don't like snow, why is it always snowing on your head?"
"Because I hate snow."
The ghosts present were all somewhat puzzled.
Logically speaking, such strange and unusual phenomena that one carries with them are all conjured by the supernatural entity using its own netherworld power, and can be controlled at will.
If you don't like it, just remove it. Why keep downloading it?
The delivery guy suddenly realized something, "This should be a kind of obsession, which becomes a weird thing along with it. It can't control itself unless the obsession is resolved or the level is increased, then maybe it will change."
The Match Girl is currently just a wild ghost, and she hasn't been a ghost for very long.
It can conjure ghostly matches and ignite eerie flames, making it a very practical type of magical artifact.
However, once it's upgraded, the function of the match will also change.
The Fierce and Mysterious level can conjure illusionary matches, which, once lit, allow the user to see the illusions they desire and even communicate with the dead within those illusions.
The Evil-level can materialize a wishing match. After lighting it, you can make a wish, and there is a certain probability that the things in the illusion will become real.
This is also why Xia Tianqiong values the Match Girl.
...
The arena was brightly lit, and the match was continuing.
A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and a face covered in bruises, dressed in plain white, looked like Sadako, but she had a fist-sized hole in her chest, which was empty.
"My heart has been stolen, and I can no longer feel joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. Can you lend me your heart?"
A young man stood opposite him, deep in thought with a serious expression.
There are many such death rules that involve borrowing body parts, such as "Can I borrow your head to use as a football?", "My eyes are blind, find me a pair of eyes!", "I want to eat pork intestine sashimi, go find me a fresh pork intestine."
This kind of low-level rule is very common among wild and fierce monsters.
People have figured out the pattern, and this rule is to get the parts of a person, which is very easy to crack.
If there are other people around, just grab them, kill them, and cut off the parts the monster needs to give it.
If there's no one around, you can only give them parts from your own body.
But now it's a competition venue, there's no one else around, and the contestants can't possibly dig out their hearts and give them to each other.
Then we'll have to think of other ways to crack it!
"Can I give you ghost money?"
The young man took out four or five pieces of ghost money from his pocket, each with a face value of one hundred.
The heartless female ghost glared at him, then gave a chilling smile. "I want your heart."
The young man had already triggered the death rule, and the female ghost immediately pounced on him.
Just then, a figure rushed from the edge of the arena, kicked the female ghost to the ground, and then pulled the young man back outside the arena.
These are the arena's security personnel, used to save fighters in critical moments.
Since this is the first rules challenge, we don't want to make it too bloody, lest we scare away the contestants.
The female ghost was extremely resentful that her food had been stolen.
She suddenly turned into a ferocious, terrifying figure, and charged towards the sidelines, trying to rush into the stands.
A gasp rippled through the audience, but no one got up to run away.
"Smack!"
After a sharp crack, the audience saw a long whip suddenly appear behind the female ghost, which directly lashed her to the ground.
Then the whip struck again, entangled him, and dragged him to the center of the field.
At this moment, the host's voice rang out, "It is with great regret that contestant number 38, Liu Ziyuan, failed to solve the puzzle. Next, please welcome contestant number 56, Chu Xu, to the stage."
Chu Xu stood up from the audience.
Mo Ling, who was standing next to him, quickly asked, "Brother Chu, are you confident this time?"
Those who advance can watch from the stands. Chu Xu has already seen several people trigger the rules of the Heartless Female Ghost. Logically speaking, he should already have a good idea of whether or not they can break the rules.
But he raised his chin and laughed, "It's hard to say. Maybe I'll only get inspiration when I'm on stage."
After saying that, he quickly left the audience.
Watching his retreating figure, Mo Ling couldn't help but mutter, "So arrogant, but he's not so annoying anymore. Haha, I'm betting everything again this time—if I lose, I lose everything; if I win, I win big. Hmm, the odds for this round are only 1.5. The organizers aren't stupid!"
The other young members of the Mo family also took out their phones and started placing bets. Some wanted to take a gamble and bet over 100,000, while others remained skeptical and only bet tens of thousands.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Beihan placed a bet of over two million ghost money, which was all he currently possessed.
Chu Xu went to the restroom again, and after switching places with Xia Tianqiong, he finally arrived at the venue.
