Chapter 911: Chapter 109: Rule-Type Ghost_5

However, the main topic still revolved around the air wall. Some speculated that it was an alien invasion, while others guessed it was the military testing a weapon. There were all sorts of theories.
Seeing that the crisis had been averted, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued his search for the ghost-like figure he had seen earlier.
However, he did not dare to scan with his eyes directly. Instead, he kept his head down and swept with his peripheral vision.
A moment later, he actually found the girl who resembled a ghost.
After quietly observing from the shadows, Zhao Yu realized that almost everyone who engaged in conversation with the girl would disappear.
And their disappearances did not attract the attention of the people around them, as if those people had never existed to begin with.
But why was I able to notice?!
Zhao Yu was somewhat puzzled. Could it be because he observed with his peripheral vision?!
Perhaps that was indeed the case.
After observing for a while and seeing that only those who conversed with the girl disappeared, Zhao Yu hesitated before deciding to move closer and listen to what they were saying.
Previously, he noticed that when the girl conversed with others, she did not avoid people around her, with the nearest even being one or two meters away.
But those people seemed completely unaffected. From this, it was clear that either bystanders couldn’t hear their conversation or hearing it wouldn’t pose any danger.
Therefore, one of the triggering conditions for the killing intent must be directly conversing with the girl.
Knowing this, Zhao Yu would have no trouble staying alive, but he wasn’t here just to survive.
He had descended here with the purpose of breaking through his body’s tier-four limit and seeking advancement to fifth-tier or even sixth-tier.
Thus, Zhao Yu had to know the detailed triggering conditions for the killing intent and then choose to make contact with the girl to obtain the Spiritual Power key.
After all, he had no idea if he would ever have the chance to encounter the invasion of the Spirit World again, and if he missed it, he might miss it for life.
Finally, Zhao Yu stopped at a distance of roughly eight meters from the girl.
Beyond the conversation as a triggering condition, Zhao Yu observed that the ghost acted like a normal person when not speaking with others, showing no signs of abnormality.
Moreover, it paid no attention to anyone else during a conversation.
“Am I beautiful?”
That voice…
Zhao Yu heard the girl’s voice but found it eerily familiar.
The next second, his expression drastically changed.
The girl’s voice sounded exactly like Cai Siyue’s.
No, that’s not right!
Cai Siyue is dead!
Therefore, the reason for this ghost’s existence might be related to Cai Siyue!!
Zhao Yu held his breath and continued to observe with his peripheral vision while maximizing his listening to the conversation.
“What do you want?”
The girl conversing with the ghost wore a puzzled face, looking at her.
“Am I beautiful?”
The ghost asked again.
“Who the hell are you asking at this time of night, still caring about looking pretty?!”
The girl who was conversing with the ghost was very ordinary-looking. Seeing such a beautiful girl like Cai Siyue coming over to talk to her, she felt somewhat displeased, thinking that the other party had come to mock her.
Whoosh!
The girl disappeared from Zhao Yu’s peripheral vision.
“She disappeared…”
Zhao Yu quickly turned and swiftly left the scene.
The next step was to avoid the ghost as it selected its next target.
At the same time, he pondered over the conversation between the two.
He noticed that the ghost asked the girl twice if she was beautiful, and the girl did not respond directly, resulting in her disappearing.
So, if one were to confront the ghost, would they have to answer the question head-on?
Zhao Yu had only taken a few steps when Huang Lin stopped him, “Brother Zhao, where are you going?”
“Nothing major, just taking a walk…”
As for what he saw and inferred, he didn’t plan to speak of it.
Mainly because he was afraid that if he spoke out, it might bring trouble upon himself, attracting the ghost’s attention directly.
Besides, he was also worried that talking about it might render things ineffective, and it could even lead to unexpected changes, such as a change of rules and so on.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yu suddenly felt his scalp tingle, as if a pair of resentful eyes were staring at him.
The ghost has targeted me!
Zhao Yu was shocked but could only pretend to be unaware and continue chatting with Huang Lin.
To his relief, the resentful gaze disappeared after a few seconds, and he encountered no danger.
Could it be, it has started another round?!
Thinking this, he suddenly heard a voice next to him, “Am I beautiful?!”
Zhao Yu jolted and wanted to run the next second, but he quickly realized that with these rule-based ghosts, any option other than following its rules was a dead end.
Just as he was about to answer that she was beautiful, another guy’s voice rang out, “Of course, you are very pretty!”
Zhao Yu glanced from the corner of his eye and immediately sighed with relief.
The ghost had fixed its gaze on another guy.
“Huh?!”
Huang Lin also recognized the voice as somewhat familiar and looked involuntarily toward the two.
Seeing that attire, he felt an even stronger sense of familiarity, almost as if it were Cai Siyue.
Just as he was about to move to the front, Zhao Yu reached out abruptly and grabbed him.
Huang Lin turned his head and Zhao Yu signaled to him with his eyes.
Huang Lin’s pupils dilated instantly.
He instantly understood.
Cai Siyue was clearly already dead!
The fact that he was hearing Cai Siyue’s voice indicated that he was surely seeing a ghost!
At that moment, Huang Lin turned pale, his eyes filled with terror and fear.
If it weren’t for Zhao Yu holding him back, he might have already run away.
“Don’t move!”
Zhao Yu whispered two words.
He was certain that the ghost had come for him just now, and that intense malice was no lie.
