There's Something Wrong With This Account

Tonight is the night of the Zhongyuan Festival, naturally extraordinary.

According to the settings of “Heavenly Dust”, after death, the dark side of a person would transform into a stream of ghostly energy. When several of such energies condense together, a ghost is formed.

To put it simply, when Zhang San dies, his dark side becomes a stream of energy, his energy merges with the energies of people like Li Si, and they grow to become a ghost.

A fierce ghost is a coalition, also a form of chaos, a new life born out of sheer coincidence.

Ordinary people are so weak while living, how could their souls possibly become fierce ghosts after death? It makes more sense for several streams of ghostly energies to merge together.

Therefore, they are rather simple-minded, lacking intelligence and spiritual wisdom, but are extremely evil.

In the mountains and forests, the Mountain Ghost killed by Lu Xun, is one of them.

These simple-minded beings are extremely bloodthirsty, after all, they are a synthesis of negative energies. Therefore, in the game, players kill ghosts whenever they encounter one.

According to the setting, there are no “good ghosts” in the whole world, don’t even think about lovely female ghosts like Nie Xiaoqian, shattering countless players’ dreams of becoming an Undead Knight like Ning Caichen.

Interestingly, killing fierce ghosts carries no guilt, it’s as if it’s a service for the greater good. It could give players a thrill, feeling like heroes… and the experience points gained from it are ridiculously high.

“Heavenly Dust”, like other games, hosts events during festivals, and the event for the Zhongyuan Festival is generally the “Fierce Ghost Slaying Competition”, where you can get lots of additional rewards.

Lu Xun had participated a few times before and found it interesting. However, he, as a lone ranger, couldn’t compete with guilds and studios, always ranking beyond a few hundred.

But the scene before his eyes was truly shocking.

On the bluestone slab, in the pouring rain, hundreds of fierce ghosts gathered, as if demons were having a wild party!

Today is the carnival of fierce ghosts!

However, it’s weird. Even though today is the Zhongyuan Festival, how could so many fierce ghosts appear in a small place like Wei County?

Did all the ghosts and monsters in a hundred-mile radius flock here to have a carnival?

What’s happening? Are the ghosts having some kind of excursion?

At this moment, Lu Xun was utterly amazed. This was like hitting the jackpot of experience points!

In the middle of the ghost crowd, a little girl was hopping around, laughing and feeling very excited.

She seemed to be only eight or nine years old with a cute Nezha bun on her head, a complete adorable Lolita.

Lil’ Lolita was wearing a red dress, and had small bells tied around both her wrists. The bells were emitting a faint, golden glow.

She was continuously dodging the ghosts’ attacks as if she was playing around.

The rain was pouring so heavily that anybody who went out would be completely soaked, yet the rain didn’t touch her.

“Hahaha…burp!” Midway through the little Lolita’s laughter, she let out an unladylike burp as she was quite full, making her accidentally touch her tiny belly.

She noticed two people approaching the entrance of Lai Fu Inn, hence she looked over.

Upon seeing Lu Xun’s face, she paused briefly. At first, she just took a glance but ended up taking a second look.

Perhaps she was caught off guard during this moment, and a ghost managed to hit the ribbon wrapped around her hair. A piece of the ribbon was ripped off, unraveling half of her Nezha bun.

Lu Xun and Ji Li looked at each other, and both were slightly taken aback.

Because they saw ears that popped up from her hair, looking somewhat like… cat ears?

So, was the Nezha bun on her head actually a disguise, and she used her hair to cover up her cat ears?

However, she obviously has two human ears. Does that make four ears in total!

But on a closer thought, recalling the animations he had watched, any cat-eared girls either had their hair covering both sides, making it unclear whether there were human ears, or they simply had four ears.

Otherwise, it would feel unbalanced…

“Mon…monster?” Ji Li voiced her thoughts to herself, her right hand tightened around her Wedding Sword.

The person beside her, Lu Xun, on the other hand, was still composed. He was mainly surprised by the strength of this cat-eared Lolita.

Being besieged by nearly a hundred fierce ghosts was a rough task, even at level thirty.

Although their eyes were their weak points, there were far too many to target.

But she seemed to easily cut through them, seemingly with little effort.

More accurately, she seemed to be simply having fun, as if she used special methods to group these ghosts together.

Lu Xun turned his head to look at Murong Yan, who was sitting calmly watching the scene at the door. She didn’t seem to have any intent to intervene, as if she had confidence in the abilities of the cat-eared loli.

Perhaps they know each other.

Not until the loli’s headband snapped did Murong Yan’s expression change slightly, she quietly mumbled, “Damn!”

In the crowd of fierce ghosts, the cat-eared loli slightly raised her eyebrows.

It seemed like she was angry.

She rattled the bells in her left and right hands – “ding-a-ling.”

In a flash of golden light, the bells transformed into two small knives.

A golden glow flowed over the small knives, as if they were swimming dragons.

Lu Xun wanted to check the information of the two small knives, but all he saw before his eyes were “???”, even the names of the two small knives didn’t appear.

Clearly, the quality of these two knives was quite high and Lu Xun’s level was too low to obtain any information about them.

The cat-eared loli looked around at the group of ghosts, her voice childishly declaring: “I’ll chop off your head with a single blow!”

She yelled out, loudly, and then swung the two small knives forward.

“Swoosh—” a fan-shaped wave of knife Qi spread out dozens of meters around her!

Wherever it went, every ghost was beheaded! Then they exploded!

Their vital parts were in their eyes, but if their brains exploded, how intact could their eyes be?

In a short time, all of the hundreds of ghosts had vanished.

This cobblestone road seemed to be under some kind of restriction; the battle did not affect the surroundings.

“Damn, at least leave one for me!” Lu Xun watched with wide-open eyes as a huge amount of experience points flashed before him.

How could he not understand now?

——This is a master.

Looking at her, aside from her added cat ears, she appeared harmless, but her strength was frightfully impressive!

“She must be at least level forty.” Lu Xun thought in his heart.

She was undoubtedly far stronger than Murong Yan!

At this moment, the cat-eared loli tossed the pair of knives into the sky. They quickly transformed back into small bells and with a “whoosh” sound, they tied themselves back onto her wrists.

One of her headbands had already snapped, so she simply tore off the other, her hair instantly falling down and revealing two little cat ears.

Her cat ears flapped in the wind, as if stretching themselves.

The cat-eared loli turned and walked into the Lai Fu Inn. She glanced at Ji Li and then turned to stare at Lu Xun, seemingly captivated by him.

However, due to her small stature, she had to look up at Lu Xun, but she seemed to dislike looking up at others, and thus she simply floated into the air.

After a while, she finally opened her mouth to speak. Her voice still loud, full of energy:

“Mortal, I lack a pretty mount in my service. Would you be willing?”
