Watching the two drunken demons walk away, Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen lowered their voices and continued the conversation they had left off.
“You mentioned something about an illusionary realm?”
Ji Dong impatiently reminded him.
“How did you know that?”
“Alas, the answer to ‘how did I know’ can’t be put into practice now, let’s talk about it later.”
Mo Tiangen scratched his shaggy beard.
“Let me put it this way—do you remember the story of the painted wall that Ren Jianmo told us before?”
Ji Dong: “???”
He was very concerned about what Mo Tiangen meant by “practical implementation”, but now was not the time to dwell on it, so he nodded along to Mo Tiangen’s question.
“Unfortunately, I never thought that he would hit the nail right on the head.”
Mo Tiangen leaned closer and said softly, enunciating each word clearly:
“We are, now, inside a painted wall…”
However, before Mo Tiangen could finish his sentence, the fifteen-minute buffer period was up.
He once again heard the soft teenage voice that he had long been used to hearing in his ears.
[The game begins once more, and a new [Ghost] is born!]
Seeing that the randomly selected [Ghost] was not him, Mo Tiangen first breathed a sigh of relief and let out a low curse, then turned his head to look at Ji Dong.
But Ji Xiao’niao just stood there in a daze.
Three seconds later, he raised his arm and flashed his right hand at Mr. Dagen. A black tattoo had appeared on his palm.
His face looked a little pale, and he first took a deep breath before saying, “It’s me.”
Mo Tiangen: “!!!”
In this so-called hide-and-seek game, there are not many players left, and except for Ren Jianmo, everyone had been a [Ghost] at least once.
No one wanted to die, so the fewer people there were, the more difficult it became to pass on the identity of a [Ghost].

“Yt?”
Mo Tiangen understood, “You mean, taking turns to be a [Ghost]?”
“Zw.”

“Hey, it’s easy to say but practically impossible to achieve, you know?”
Mo Tiangen shook his head.
He didn’t know that the Fan family siblings were already cooperating with them, but Zhao Zhui and his team members of the fire team had just tricked him, and then he counterattacked successfully, they had mutually burned the bridges.
Teacher Dagen felt that Ji Xiao’niao’s plan to let everyone pass the [Ghost] one by one like a shift was good, but if you really wanted to implement it, you needed the participants who participate in it to have absolute trust and loyalty to each other, it was a beautiful thought at all, but the possibility was almost zero.
“The three of us can take turns, but the rest of them, it’s impossible to convince them, right?”
He said, sighed, and shook his head again.
“Besides, after all, lives are at stake, and it’s hard for me to trust the other participants besides you and Ren Jianmo.”
“You’re right.”
Ji Dong nodded.
Indeed, as Mr. Dagen said, trying to convince someone in a hurry was a very difficult thing in itself, and in the absence of sufficient trust, the alliance would also become very fragile, because no one can guarantee that these temporary allies would not stab themselves in the back at a critical moment.
Ji Dong raised his eyes, his eyes lingered for a moment on Mo Tiangen’s body.
After becoming the [Ghost], Ji Dong finally understood how those who had been [Ghosts] recognized participants from the pile of demons in the mansion, when they were obviously participants who did not know each other.
When he looked at Mo Tiangen now, he could see a very bright fluorescent blue halo emanating from the opponent’s body. In the dark night, it was like a self-propelled human-shaped light stick, which was extremely conspicuous.
Ji Xiao’niao estimated that if there were no obstacles, even if it was several kilometers away, he would be able to see the blue light on the other person’s body at a glance.
“So, I was thinking, is there a better way…”
While he was saying this, the two men turned a corner right against the wall, intending to walk through a Moon Cave Gate and into another courtyard.
And just as Ji Dong turned around, he seemed to catch another blue light in the corner of his sight.
Ji Dong suddenly turned his head and saw a two-story building behind the slope. Across one of the windows on the second floor, there was indeed a human figure with the same fluorescent, blue light, that flashed by quickly.
Ji Dong knew about this two-story building.
He heard the Fan siblings say that this place was originally the residence of some kind of concubine demon, and then the concubine demon caught a human and left the Zhilan Xianfu mansion, and the small building was vacated.
When they had first discussed the issue of where to settle down, they also considered finding an empty room here as a stronghold, but ultimately they opted for a neighboring yard in a rather remote and secluded row of houses. However, now the other participants also seemed to have their eyes on this unoccupied room.
“The second room on the left, Brother Dagen, help me!”
He turned his head decisively and said to Mo Tiangen.
Teacher Dagen nodded.
He had been partnered with student Ji Xiao’niao for such a long period of time that he had developed a certain tacit understanding that did not need to be named.
The two darted straight toward the small building, and before they could reach it, Mo Tiangen suddenly catapulted downward, his arms outstretched forward, hands clenched into fists, and Ji Dong did not hesitate to step on his partner’s interlocking fists.
Then Mo Tiangen took advantage of the inertia of the forward rush to straighten up and pushed Ji Dong forward.
Ji Dong leaped up in response, grabbed the second-floor windowsill, and with a harrier flip, directly broke the window and jumped into the room.
There was a short scream from the woman inside the room, and before Ji Dong could see what was going on in the room, there was a stream of water as thick as his wrist making its way toward his face.
He did not have time to think about anything, and quickly rolled to the ground to avoid the water that was thrown at him.
While turning over and jumping up, Ji Dong saw that the room was of about 10 square meters, very beautifully decorated, with a high-footed four-poster bed and a carefully carved walnut dressing table that showed that this should be a boudoir belonging to a woman.
Next to the window stood a young woman whom Ji Dong had not seen before, the fluorescent blue light on her body clearly showed that she was also a participant, and as for the other man who was near the door, it was Zhao Zhui whom he had seen when he had just entered the [Peach Blossom Spring]!
Without saying a word, Ji Dong pounced on the young woman by the window and then grabbed her arm ignoring her frightened expression.
The one who was caught by Ji Dong was none other than Chao Xi, who belonged to the same “Compass” guild as Zhao Zhui.
Before she came into the [Peach Blossom Spring], she was just a small clerk who sat in the office all year round. She belonged to the type who could lose her breath when running a mere 400 meters. Even after experiencing several [Films], Chao Xi was more accustomed to relying on her ability to fight than applying the close combat method of real knives, real guns, and hard fists.
The water that was going to hit Ji Dong just now was an attack made by her ability to control the water in a vase. If Ji Dong hadn’t dodged in time, he would have felt dizzy and fallen on his back from the water pressure that had nearly the same pressure as a 300 bar-high pressure water gun.
But fortunately, Ji Xiao’niao dodged it.
Not only dodged, but he also caught Zhao Zhui who happened to be right next to her.
At this time, the girl was actually stunned, and she didn’t even have a subconscious resistance action.
The next second, she only felt a strong tingling sensation, which came straight from the arm that was grabbed by the teenager. Chao Xi didn’t even have time to cry, all she could do was roll her eyes, twitch all over, and fall to the ground with a soft thud.
Ji Dong let go of the girl he had electrocuted and went to look at Zhao Zhui again when he saw that the man had already abandoned his teammate without any hesitation and was about to grab the door.
——Well!
Ji Dong stretched his left arm forward, and the black bracelet on his wrist rapidly transformed into a longbow.
——Since it isn’t easy to convince a person…
——Also, there is a time limit and it is difficult for these participants to trust each other…
Seeing that Ji Dong took out a weapon, Zhao Zhui also immediately activated his psychic ability.
The shadow of a Suzhou embroidered screen moved as if it was coming alive, extending, expanding, and then rising above the ground, and suddenly stretched into a black curtain that almost bisected the entire room in an attempt to isolate Ji Dong’s vision.
T/N- Add pic
However, Ji Dong’s arrow had already left the string.
This large shadow screen made by shadows did not have time to fully fuse into a piece, and it still maintained the original shape of the screen, so there was a minute gap of about two finger widths between the fans.
Accompanied by the turbulent, raging gust of wind, Ji Dong’s arrow accurately passed through the gaps, squarely hitting Zhao Zhui in the right calf.
“Ah!!!”
He let out a miserable scream and fell to his knees.
The shadow of the screen lost control and immediately fell back to the ground like a receding tide, shrinking back to its normal appearance.
Ji Dong took this opportunity to leap to Zhao Zhui’s side with a few steps and extended his hand towards him.
“What the hell are you…”
Zhao Zhui hissed.
But before he could finish his words, Ji Dong restrained him by his shoulders.
Immediately afterward, Zhao Zhui twitched violently, fell to the ground with a thud, foaming at the mouth, and passed out.
——Since this is the case, then, let’s find a more efficient way!
……
After putting down two people in quick succession, Ji Dong returned to the window and made an ‘OK’ gesture toward Mo Tiangen, who was downstairs.
Mo Tiangen also raised his hand and responded to him with another ‘OK’.
Then, Ji Dong pulled open the window completely, picked up Chao Xi, and threw the girl directly out of the second-floor window.
Although Mr. Dagen did not know why Ji Xiao’niao did this, by the look of it, he knew he wanted to save this person, and hurriedly caught the girl.
“There is one more.”
Ji Dong dragged Zhao Zhui over as well, and repeated the same trick, throwing him through the window as well.
After doing this, Ji Xiao’niao himself jumped out of the window, like a kidnapper in flagrante delicto, and Mo Tiangen carried the girl on his back as they fled the scene quickly.
Nothing like some casual kidnapping to accomplish your goals.
