"Ah, I'm full." Ye Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands with a satisfied expression. He put his palms together and thanked the young man,"Thank you so much. I thought I was going to starve to death.”
"It's great that you don't feel neglected.”The man said with a smile. The older sister also smiled at Ye Qing, while the younger sister turned her head angrily and snorted. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with Ye Qing's thick-skinned behavior.
Ye Qing secretly made a face at his sister. While teasing her, he said to the kind father and daughter,
"Thank you for your hospitality.”
"Alright then." The young man did not have any intention of keeping a guest. In fact, he was not related to Ye Qing. To be able to give a stranger a hot meal, in Ye Qing's opinion, he was already a rare good person.
Ye Qing stood up, and the young man also stood up. He walked Ye Qing all the way to the door, making Ye Qing sigh. He had indeed met a good person.
"May your martial arts luck prosper." After the young man gave his blessings to Ye Qing, there was a hesitant expression on his face. He thought for a moment and said to Ye Qing,
"Actually, it's already a new era. I think you might as well learn a craft to make a living.”
The man sincerely suggested to Ye Qing. Ye Qing's heart felt warm. Although he was not a wanderer and had a system mission to complete, he did not reject the man's good intentions. Instead, he said,
"Thank you. I will consider it carefully. Goodbye.”
……
After leaving the house of the kind-hearted father and daughter, Ye Qing carried Thunder Master, who was hidden in his arms, and wandered around the small town with nothing to do. He familiarized himself with the layout and environment of the small town. Unknowingly, he walked to the street where he met the ghost last night. There were obvious scratches on the wall from sharp weapons. He had left them yesterday when he was trying to scrape off the blood on the wall.
Seeing this, Ye Qing thought of the small grave in the forest outside the town. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on Thunder Master and asked the system in his mind,"
"Didn't you say that the Ghost Slayer Team is specialized in killing evil ghosts? There are evil ghosts in this town. Why don't I see any members of the Ghost Slayer Team?”
Faced with Ye Qing's question, the system said helplessly,""First of all, I'm just a system. I'm not Black Tong's Google, so how would I know?”
"Secondly, the Ghost Slayer Team is a hidden organization. How could it be seen by a stranger like you?”
"Lastly, how do you plan to complete your mission?”
"I'm just an otaku. How could I have a plan so quickly?”Ye Qing said righteously," We'll take it one step at a time. Anyway, we'll talk about it after we kill that ghost last night."”
Ye Qing strolled aimlessly by the river that ran through the town. The residents of the town were living and working in peace and contentment. They even had happy smiles on their faces. Who would have thought that just a few decades ago, this country was still in turmoil, and a vigorous reform at the end of the Bakshasa era was staged?
By the time Ye Qing had walked through the entire town, the sun was already setting in the west. The horizon was dyed red by the setting sun. The people in the town were all in a hurry, rushing home with anxious expressions. The peaceful atmosphere in the afternoon had completely disappeared.
Ye Qing walked past a corner. There were still four or five children playing together and had forgotten the time. An old man hurried over from afar and interrupted the children's play. He shouted sternly,"It's already time for you to encounter demons. If you don't go home, be careful that the demons will take you all away, just like those missing people!”
The children were frightened by the old man and immediately dispersed. They agreed to continue tomorrow while running back to their homes. Seeing that the children had left, the old man nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Ye Qing, who was looking over curiously.
With a kind heart, although the old man did not know Ye Qing, he still went forward to remind him,"Young man, you're not from this town, right? Go home quickly. It's very dangerous to wander outside at night.”
Ye Qing pretended to be humble and asked,"I just came to this town today. Looking at you, did something happen?”
The old man tapped the cane in his hand and sighed sadly.
"Recently, some people have mysteriously disappeared at night in the town. Several people have gone missing in a row. Some people say that a bear is attacking the town. You should go back quickly. Don't come out at night.”
"Alright, thank you, sir." Ye Qing nodded obediently and watched the old man's figure grow longer and longer under the setting sun until he turned the corner and disappeared from sight.
After sending the old man away, Ye Qing continued to stroll around the town. However, just as the old man had said, the town that was bustling during the day was now deserted. A sense of deathly stillness enveloped Ye Qing's heart.
"I wonder if that ghost will come again tonight?”Ye Qing placed the Thunder Master on his legs and sat on the bridge. He looked at the town that was gradually swallowed by the night and thought.
"I think you should think about it carefully. Even if he really comes, can you kill him?”The system mercilessly poked at Ye Qing's blind spot."Other than not being able to be exposed to the sun, ghosts are immortal. With your current otaku physique, even ghosts can exhaust you to death.”
"Well, you're right." Ye Qing scratched his face. In fact, Ye Qing understood this in his heart. If he could really kill the ghost, then he would not have just broken his arm last night. He would have killed it directly.
"Now that you have lost the Heroic Spirit's physique attribute bonus, with your original physical fitness, in the words of the game, you are a backhanded hero. You can only wait for the ghost to make the first move. If he wants to run, you won't be able to catch up.”The system analyzed the current situation for Ye Qing in a more understandable way.
"As long as you draw a card now and draw a gift card that can increase your physique, you can get out of this situation.”Just as Ye Qing fell silent because of the system's words, the system's words suddenly changed and began to enthusiastically promote,"How is it? Are you moved?"
"..." Ye Qing did not reply and fell into a strange silence. The system was waiting for Ye Qing's reply and did not speak. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"I have to say, your proficiency in promoting all the time is almost catching up to my proficiency in complaining all the time.”
"Well, I learned it from the host. This kind of skill must be carried forward.”the system said shamelessly.
"Haha." Ye Qing sneered and said righteously,""Let me tell you, if you want me to draw a card, unless you open your lucky bag, there's no way.”
"Be reasonable. Even if I'm lucky, do you have money?”The System looked at him with disdain,"You're thinking about peaches if you don't have money."”
The night wind gently brushed past Ye Qing's face. Unknowingly, the moon in the sky had already risen above the treetops. The chirping of the insects had also disappeared.
" Woof, woof, woof…" It was unknown which dog in the town suddenly barked, breaking the silence of the night. However, the small town was unusual. Not only did no one light up the lights to check, but the few houses that had lights on had all turned off the lights. The barking of the dogs quickly disappeared, and the scene was silent.
"He's here!" Such an abnormal scene undoubtedly told Ye Qing that the ghost from last night had indeed come tonight. He immediately stood up from the ground and drew a trajectory in the air with the Heroic Spirit Card in his left hand. He turned into Sasaki Kojiro in the silver light.
" Swoosh…" Ye Qing, who was wearing a light purple kimono, did not use the katana that came with the card. Instead, he held the Thunder Blade that was originally placed on his legs. The dark blue blade of light followed Ye Qing's movements and drew a gorgeous blade light in the night.
Ye Qing looked at the small town under the night sky. His B rank Penetration was activated immediately. He did not care about the consumption of his transformation energy at all. The clear mirror and still water state of mind directly acted on Ye Qing. Ye Qing closed his eyes and used all his mind to sense everything in the small town.
