"Young man, don't go! We haven't given you your change yet!"
The shop owner called out to the young man in the hoodie who was about to turn and leave, and took out eighty yuan to hand to him.
The young man shook his head. "Didn't I give you twenty yuan?"
"You gave me a hundred, here's your change of eighty."
"The boss must have made a mistake."
"You're all alone, how could I possibly be wrong? Take it quickly."
At the shop owner's insistence, the young man in the hoodie accepted the money, though his face showed some disappointment.
"Young man, why aren't you happy to receive your change?"
The boss muttered something, but the young man didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Xia Tianqiong sighed, thankfully the shop owner was honest and kind. If he had secretly kept the extra money, it would have triggered the death rule, and that strange young man would have eaten him.
In times of strange occurrences, sometimes honesty and kindness can save your life.
Of course, only very rarely.
Most of the time, the supernatural doesn't care who you are; it will try every means to make you trigger the rules, and then kill or eat you.
As soon as the hoodie-wearing youth left, Xia Tianqiong got up and followed him, alone, without any other contracted spirits.
The boss glanced at him but didn't pay much attention, assuming he had gone to find a place to relieve himself.
As they rounded an intersection, the young man in the hoodie suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Xia Tianqiong.
"Human, I didn't come looking for trouble, so why are you coming after me?"
"Does this mean only you weirdos can actively cause trouble for humans, while humans can't actively cause trouble for you?"
"Hmph, you came all this way by yourself? Are you looking for death?"
The young man in the hoodie suddenly changed his appearance, his face twisted and became ferocious and terrifying.
Xia Tianqiong simply watched indifferently, too lazy to say anything more. With a thought, she cast the sinister spell "Soul-Seizing White Silk".
A white ribbon seemed to come from the void, hanging down from the sky.
The young man in the hoodie was slightly taken aback. Before he could dodge, a white silk ribbon was put over his head, then tightened around his neck, and he was suspended in mid-air.
It was nothing more than a wild monster, and it hadn't mastered any tricks, so it couldn't break free of the white ribbon at all.
Xia Tianqiong discovered that the "Soul-Seizing White Silk" trick had a flaw.
It works very well against humans; tightening the neck can suffocate them to death.
However, its effectiveness is greatly reduced when used on the supernatural.
The eerie creature doesn't need to breathe; although you can control it, you can't strangle it.
That's really awkward.
Xia Tianqiong had no choice but to take out the bronze mirror, put the hoodie-wearing youth into the mirror space, and let the mirror ghost copy some mirror clones, then beat the opponent to death little by little by punching and kicking him.
This wild monster was completely worthless; I just smashed it and turned it into gold. It wasn't much, but it was still money!
Xia Tianqiong returned to the table and continued eating skewers and drinking; the earlier incident was just a minor episode.
With nothing to do, he began to take stock of what he had gained during his three days and three nights of rebirth.
A total of fifteen strange entities were contracted.
In chronological order, they are: Takeout Ghost, Ghost Baby, Gambling Ghost, Mirror Ghost, Eight Shopkeepers, Baby Tree Ghost, Huang Yu, and Hanging Ghost.
Huang Yu is a bizarre transformation of a human.
These strange occurrences provided Xia Tianqiong with fourteen tricks.
These are: Door Opening Technique, Netherworld Delivery, Shadow Teleportation, Life Transfer Technique, Rock Paper Scissors, Mirror Freeze Technique, Clone Mirror, Mirror Space, Mirror Swallows All Things, Flower Slapping Technique, Levitation Technique, Sky Rift Technique, White Silk Flight, and Soul-Seizing White Silk.
The Infant Tree has no magic, but it can produce Infant Fruit, which can save lives in critical moments.
The strange creatures include sixteen strands of the mother's hair and several cat hairs of the cat demon.
The artifacts include the Heavenly Rope, the Red Veil, the Gold Ticket, and the Sealed Chessboard. The bronze mirror, which has a mirrored space inside, can also be considered an artifact.
The difference between a mysterious tool and a mysterious object is that a mysterious tool is a tool or item that has been processed and manufactured, while a mysterious object is a natural object that comes from a mysterious entity.
Both have their own unique wonders.
In addition to the above, there are nearly one million taels of underworld gold stored in the Ghost Realm Bank, as well as various benefits of intermediate VIP status, and supplies worth two hundred million in the Mirror Space.
This is the wealth and power that Xia Tianqiong currently possesses.
Now, strange phenomena are beginning to occur on a large scale, and with such a starting point, they have already surpassed all of humanity.
Xia Tianqiong was eating skewers when a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Jiang Yu looked at him curiously, "Tianqiong, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, just remembered something funny."
Xia Tianqiong suddenly remembered that she had forgotten about Jiang Yu, who could also be considered her property.
After eating and drinking for a while longer, we finally finished our meal, paid the bill, and left.
It was past nine o'clock at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, but the city was not quiet.
Screams and cries for help could be heard from time to time, coming from who knows where.
The sirens of police cars and ambulances could also be heard throughout the city.
That night, many people were destined to die at the hands of the supernatural.
Fortunately, the monster doesn't keep killing people indefinitely.
Whether they prefer to eat raw flesh and blood or to absorb lifespan and soul, they all need a certain amount of time to digest and absorb.
After killing a certain number of humans each time, the monster hides away and comes out to harm people again after a few days.
This also gave people a chance to catch their breath.
In a residential building, people were jumping out of the windows one after another.
Those from higher floors will fall and be half-dead, while those from lower floors will also injure their hands and feet.
"Help! There's a man-eating monster in the building!"
"So many people died!"
"My paralyzed father is still at home, police officers please come and rescue him!"
Many police officers were already stationed downstairs, ready for action.
They received a report half an hour earlier that a monster was eating people in the area.
