Chapter 976 514: Made a Mistake? Time for Punishment_2

Even though he claimed not to be watching, essentially, it was the electromagnetic radiation effect from the TV being on rather than watching as the trigger medium. As long as it was on, unless he stayed away from the living room, the prowess against ghosts wasn't a lie.

"I already ate before I came here, so I'm not really hungry." The world in Yin Fenggui's eyes had become terribly distorted, and even the appearance of Gu Shanhai and the others now appeared absurd to him.

"You must be mistaken. The caretaker at the orphanage said you left without having breakfast to arrive early. How could you have already eaten?"

"Lying isn't something a good child would do."

Da Tianwei's tone was laced with displeasure.

The error in the statement directly struck a nerve with Yin Fenggui, causing a change in his expression.

Lying wasn't the problem; the problem was getting caught in a lie, which could mean a mistake was made.

The consequence of making a mistake was death.

"The caretaker didn't want me to go hungry, so I did eat something." Yin Fenggui's mind raced, immediately coming up with a reason.

This excuse seemed very suitable, and Da Tianwei's expression gradually stabilized, without continuing to press the matter.

Secretly, Da Tianwei felt it was a pity. If Yin Fenggui hadn't found a good excuse and had been caught lying, it would have met the condition of making a mistake.

Now, however, it wasn't enough unless he could find evidence.

"The ride must have been rough, so you didn't eat much. Hurry up and eat, don't waste food." Da Tianwei didn't give up, imposing another restriction on Yin Fenggui, as wasting food was also considered a mistake.

Ghosts seeking survival in the human world naturally abide by human rules, not those of the Ghost World. In all his years, he had never seen a conquering country bow to a defeated one.

"Yes." Yin Fenggui looked at the food in his hand and on the table, feeling the pressure mounting.

'Damn it, how can I eat this.'

Suppressing a lingering nausea, Yin Fenggui finally took his chopsticks and scooped up a piece from the bowl where chunks of Yin Fenggui's corpse were distinct, and put it into his mouth.

What should have been the taste of rice turned into some dry and bitter eerie flavor.

"Deceit Food, success!"

As he swallowed, a thunderous voice echoed in his ears once more.

Regaining his senses, he found himself no longer in the villa but in the wilderness.

At that moment, he was hunched over, gnawing on a Yin Fenggui corpse.

Behind him stood a towering human dressed in ancient garb, with a sinister look of surprise in his eyes as he gazed at Yin Fenggui.

'Oh no, I've been drawn into the plot!'

Yin Fenggui realized that he wasn't truly in the storyline but trapped inside a mirage, an incredibly realistic one.

'Damn, I wasn't even watching the TV, how did I get drawn into this plot.' Yin Fenggui couldn't comprehend, but he knew one thing.

He absolutely couldn't move or scream now; his consciousness might be in the vision, but his body was still in the villa. If he acted out of line, he undoubtedly would meet a terrible fate.

As the brute drew closer, Yin Fenggui was consumed by fear.

He noticed that this brute had numerous trinkets made from Yin Fenggui's body and even his clothing was adorned with them.

'This is bad!'

Yin Fenggui sensed the piercing aura emanating from the brute as he drew near.

He understood that he was in a no-win situation. If he didn't retaliate, he might die in the mirage.

Such death was genuine, not the faux death from succumbing to a vision.

But if he resisted, he feared his real body might respond, which was something he couldn't afford.

'How do I break this situation, where's the way out!!' A sudden notion struck Yin Fenggui, that the person before him intended to strip his skin and craft an exquisite eerie hide to sell.

The human's hand latched onto him, and a sharp flaying knife pressed against his skin, the horrifying agony seeped into his body and soul.

'To hell with it, if death is inevitable, might as well fight back.' Determined, Yin Fenggui braced himself, figuring it was death either way, so why not take a chance.

He knew that the survival difficulty for a united family was immense, much more than anticipated.

Due to being trapped in the mirage, he couldn't see the live broadcast comments, otherwise, he might have garnered some advice from them.

Without hesitation, Yin Fenggui utilized his abilities, transforming into a gust of sinister wind to escape from the human's grasp.

"You little thing, you're pretty fast." The person sneered, reaching out to grab.

Just when Yin Fenggui thought he had escaped, he felt a surge of wind hit him from behind, instinctively urging him to sidestep, but even before he could react.

His entire being was clutched in a massive hand.

"Run, go on, try and run." The human smirked disdainfully, tightening his grip.

The intense agony tore through Yin Fenggui's being, causing him to cry out loud to alleviate his suffering.

"Ah!!!"

The sound was sharp, like a howling gale.

As his cries echoed, the entire mirage began collapsing.

This scene did not bring Yin Fenggui any relief, only a heavier sense of cold dread.

Across the dining table, three humans stared intently at him, as if viewing some precious ingredient.

"Did you know? There's a saying 'don't speak when eating, don't talk when sleeping.'" Da Tianwei's voice carried a chill.

In that instant, Yin Fenggui realized he had made a mistake.

The reason for his mistake was violating the three-word adage: 'don't speak.'

If it were just a few words, Da Tianwei's killing ghost rule might not apply.

However, Yin Fenggui's earlier scream clearly crossed the line.

The sound, the texture, and his actions at the dining table were enough to judge him as a disobedient child.

What child screams and runs around wildly while eating, and is considered to be behaving correctly? It doesn't even need consideration to know it's wrong.

"Wait, it was because I was..." Yin Fenggui instinctively tried to defend himself, knowing that if he succeeded, his mistake could turn into right.

Yet suddenly, he didn't know how to defend himself or blame someone else.

"A disobedient child who makes mistakes has no reason to exist."

Da Tianwei offered no opportunity for defense, as in his eyes, Yin Fenggui's childlike guise began revealing his true form.

Cracks appeared on his skin, dark wind blowing through the gaps.

This indicated his true identity was exposed.

"I... Damn it!" Yin Fenggui realized his state, eager to explain, but it was too late.

He muttered a curse and fled hurriedly.

Running now was his only chance at survival; failure to do so meant certain death.

"Heh heh heh~ you can't escape." Da Tianwei let out a grotesque laugh, grabbing Yin Fenggui, who had already shown his true self.

In that instant of escape, his disguising skin vanished completely.

In this moment, Da Tianwei easily captured him.

Unfortunately for Gu Shanhai and Shura, they hadn't triggered any ghost-killing rules, leaving them helpless.

Plop~

Yin Fenggui was effortlessly caught in Da Tianwei's hand, gently torn, and everything was settled.

Simultaneously, their challenge task was one-third complete.

"Come, let's have something good to eat." Da Tianwei grinned as he handed Yin Fenggui's corpse to Gu Shanhai.
