I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 1001 527: Breaking the Rules Is More Satisfying Than Following Them

"You want seven ghost corpses as materials before dawn, do you even hear yourself?" The Grand Sky Rank pointed at the pale morning sky and rolled his eyes.

"I don't mind you squeezing the NPCs, but don't squeeze me too."

"After all, we're teammates."

At this point, Shura felt a bit awkward, it seemed like it really was too late.

The sky was about to brighten, and with the Grand Sky Rank's current suppressed power, he couldn't catch them even if he ran himself ragged, let alone the long cooldowns of the Killing Ghost Man set's series of skills. It's not that easy.

"Then do your best, I'll support you, let's try to settle this within an hour." Naturally, Shura wasn't about to be unreasonable and planned to join the fray himself.

"You're planning to disguise as me, and then drive the ghosts out for me to kill?" The Grand Sky Rank instantly thought of Shura's plan.

He was suppressed, but Shura wasn't.

Thus, Shura could directly become an outside support, not even caring about the rules, just grabbing a ghost for the Grand Sky Rank to kill.

Anyway, the rules bind the Killing Ghost Man, not Shura; he wasn't wearing the equipment and could do whatever he wanted.

But if he went too far, triggering some rule of the All Ghosts Survival Platform, it would be a loss.

So it was better to spend some time and assist indirectly, which was safer.

"That's about what I mean, if we cooperate, there shouldn't be much problem. After the fight, we can have breakfast just in time." Shura thought, in the morning, they should be able to eat something good.

After all, it's seven ghosts. They wouldn't all be used as materials.

Glug~

The Grand Sky Rank swallowed, suddenly feeling motivated, that's exactly it.

"Alright, let's get started quickly, before anything unpredictable happens." The Grand Sky Rank agreed without hesitation.

Fixing the Teleportation Array wasn't his task; after all, it wasn't his duty. It was hard enough to chase down ghosts while acting, but now it's different, he could at least get some food, there's no slacking off now.

"..." Shura immediately understood, the Grand Sky Rank wasn't afraid of unforeseen complications, he just wanted to hurry back for breakfast, otherwise, why would his attitude suddenly become so positive.

"Alright then, let's start with the nearest one." Shura didn't plan to expose his intentions, some motivation was good.

As the difficulty increased, so did their pressure, leading to a constant state of mental tension.

Both were adjusting themselves to avoid mistakes from too much pressure.

They were never afraid of pressure, but rather the consequences formed from it.

"Okay, let's do as you say." The Grand Sky Rank couldn't possibly object, and followed Shura's plan, finding a place to hide, waiting for Shura to drive the ghosts over.

Then at that time, three slashes...

Alright, three slashes at once wasn't realistic; if his attack hit the ghosts, there would be a cooldown time, unable to swing another strike within at least five minutes. Otherwise, with just the speed of a normal person, three slashes and the ghosts would be gone.

But compared to the ten-day survival time of the ghosts, the cooldown of three slashes was just a drop in the ocean. Though five minutes seemed long, as long as he didn't ease off, the ghosts couldn't escape the hunter's pursuit.

So the five-minute cooldown wasn't difficult for a Killing Ghost Man.

After all, it was the All Ghosts Survival Platform's limitation on them, not an enhancement.

...

The Hanging Ghost hid under the bed of an abandoned house, trembling with fear, feeling somewhat at ease.

Since last night, the Killing Ghost Man had been haunting him, and just a while ago, the Killing Ghost Man seemed distracted by other ghosts, giving him the chance to escape, seizing the opportunity to hide in the house.

Judging by the layer of dust, it had been abandoned for quite a while.

Moreover, there were no signs of other ghosts hiding, so his chance of being discovered was actually quite low. As long as he held on, the ten days would pass in no time.

Of course, he didn't let his guard down, not thinking that finding a safe place to hide meant there were no more worries.

As time passed, the strength and perception of the Killing Ghost Man would increase, and he couldn't be found even if hiding under the bed; even burying himself wouldn't stop the man from finding him.

Just as he was pondering his next move, the Hanging Ghost unexpectedly heard footsteps.

The footsteps were heavy, and the sound grew closer, filling the Hanging Ghost's heart with fear.

'It's the Killing Ghost Man, he must be passing by! Definitely just passing by!' At this point, the Hanging Ghost thought, what else could he do, rush out and fight with the Killing Ghost Man?

He thought too much, more likely, he'd rush out and be struck down with one blow, then slain with the next.

He was already slightly injured, lagging behind other ghosts from the Innate.

Creak~

Suddenly, the door opened, and for a moment, the Hanging Ghost's heart leapt to his throat, even though he, as a ghost, had neither heart nor throat.

Through the gap under the bed, he saw a pair of large feet appear at the door and move inward.

It wasn't the feet that terrified the Hanging Ghost, but the shoes. He immediately recognized the material of the shoes was no ordinary material but some ghost's hide, known as Deceit Leather Shoes.

The person didn't need a sword; just one kick from those shoes could make life worse than death for him.
