Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

It's 11 p.m.

Led by the messenger of the Hungry Ghost King, Chen Feng, Dao Ge, and A Fei made their way through the bustling crowd and boarded the No. 8 subway line.

According to Brother Dao, the Four Heavenly Kings have too much Yin energy. If they stayed in the city, nothing would grow within a hundred miles. So, in order not to affect reality, they all live in the Otherworld.

Ah Fei was confused: "The other world?"

Dao Ge explained, "Simply put, it's the place where ghosts live. You can think of it as the underworld or the netherworld."

Ah Fei suddenly realized: "The window paper has been pierced—I understand."

This ghost subway is the means of transportation connecting the underworld and reality, and only by riding it can one find the residences of the various Heavenly Kings.

Starting at 6 PM, as the sun sets, this ghost train changes its destination every two hours until 6 AM, when the sun rises again.

The Hungry Ghost King is ranked third, so his time is from 11 PM to 12 AM.

Got in the car.

Chen Feng glanced around and saw five unfortunate living people.

Once you go to the underworld, you're definitely not coming back.

So Chen Feng had an idea and casually made up an excuse to kick the five people off the bus: "These people are too noisy, Fei, go and scare them away."

"it is good."

Ah Fei walked up to the five people, preparing to reveal himself and show the horrific state he had been in when he was burned to death.

But then, a hoarse voice, like a sawing log, rang out: "No! If they leave, what will we eat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the five people in front of Afei developed sores and festering sores all over their bodies, and collapsed to the ground with a thud. Upon closer inspection, they were clearly lifeless.

They killed someone right in front of me, and I couldn't even see how they did it.

Ah Fei was greatly surprised and thought, "Clapping hands in the clouds—a master."

Chen Feng looked towards the car door and saw a short-haired girl with silver-white skin wearing a red jacket walk in.

"Brother Dao, it's been a long time!"

Despite the girl's greeting, Brother Dao kept his distance, saying, "Brother Chen Feng, stay away from this woman. She's a poison ghost, skilled at using poison to assassinate others. Legend has it that she once used poisonous metals to kill her college roommate during her lifetime."

Chen Feng asked curiously, "Didn't you say that all female ghosts are disciples of Asura?"

Dao Ge nodded: "Normally, female ghosts do want to join the Asura King's ranks, but I heard that the Poison Ghost killed too many people, which displeased the current Asura King, so she was expelled."

The Poison Demon snorted, "That bitch, I'll kill her sooner or later."

As he spoke, he grabbed the poisoned, living person and began to devour him raw.

Ugh! Disgusting.

If it weren't for gathering intelligence, Chen Feng would have loved to kill this bastard.

Just then, a foul stench wafted over, and another new ghost boarded the vehicle.

It was a creature covered in black mud, looking as if it hadn't bathed in eight hundred years, and emanating a smell similar to a kitchen garbage bag, making you want to plug your nose.

"vomit!"

The poisonous demon spat out the severed limb it had just eaten: "You filthy devil! You've ruined my appetite!"

"Then give it to me, I won't mind."

The filthy ghost stretched out its hand and dripped black mud onto the corpses. Soon, a faint smoke rose, and then the five corpses turned into a pool of black sludge.

Such strong corrosive power!

If he had a physical body capable of exploding like a building, Chen Feng was confident he could swim in this black mud without any problem, but now that he only had his soul, he wasn't sure he could withstand it.

Thinking of this, he covered his nose and moved his buttocks away.

Speechless all the way.

After traveling for some time, the ghost train stopped in front of a large mountain.

Hungry Ghost Station.

Near the bus stop, there was a long table covered with all kinds of food, including whole chickens and ducks, apples and bananas, steamed buns and rice with chopsticks stuck in them, and cups of white wine.

They were all tributes.

Several ghosts had already arrived at the long table.

Dao Ge introduced Chen Feng to each of them.

The one that keeps coughing and occasionally spits out a mouthful of green, corrosive liquid is a phlegm ghost, who is said to have died of tuberculosis in his previous life.

The one with the gaping mouth is the Big Mouth Ghost, which is said to have been stuffed to death in its previous life.

The person who wanders around and smiles at everyone they meet is a snob.

Sitting together, the two men dressed in silk robes are the brothers Deqi and Shi.

While listening to the introduction, Chen Feng also paid attention to the prompts from the ghost-catching system.

"This is Samsung, and that is Samsung too."

Judging from the results, the strength of the various leaders was not significantly different.

That makes sense, since ghosts can devour each other; if the difference in strength is too great, they would have been eaten long ago.

I feel like the Demon King is worse than the Ox-Face.

Chen Feng thought to himself.

Compared to the Demon King with its off-the-charts stats and the Mysterious Guardian with its complex mechanics, these ghosts and monsters have no advantage other than being immune to physical attacks.

Moreover, immunity to physical attacks is conditional.

When they influence reality, reality can also hurt them.

So, can we fry fish now?

At this moment, the snobbish man, seeing a newcomer, congratulated him with both hands, saying, "Welcome, welcome! May I ask which one you took down, brother? The Fire Demon or the Thorn Demon?"

The saying goes, "You can't hit a smiling face."

Chen Feng returned the greeting, saying, "Fire Demon."

The snob exclaimed in surprise, "Impressive! What's your name, brother?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'm just short of money, so just call me a poor wretch."

The snob laughed loudly: "Brother, you're joking."

A while later.

A screeching sound of brakes echoed in the distance.

The last cadre, Thorn Demon, also arrived at the scene. From his appearance, he was an ordinary man wearing a black leather jacket.

The poisonous ghost complained, "Why are you so late?"

Thorn Ghost snorted: "Do I have a habit of arriving early?"

As he spoke, he glanced around, finally fixing his gaze on Chen Feng: "The kid playing with fire is gone. Did you take him out?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "It was just luck."

The thorn-wielding ghost, with its nose pointing to the sky, said, "Although you defeated the fire ghost, which shows you have some skill, I warn you, don't mess with me, or you'll die a horrible death."

With a whoosh.

The thorn-like creature was covered in sharp, needle-like spikes, just like a hedgehog.

Such an aura.

Chen Feng was almost fooled until he saw the system notification.

【Slay the Demon】

[Level of Resentment: ★★]

Damn, bro.

Everyone sitting around here is a three-star, and you're the only two-star. How dare you be late and act so arrogantly?

Chen Feng felt that the other party shouldn't be called Thorn Ghost, but rather Confident Ghost.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the messenger coughed and began to address the leaders.

The first thing is that there are new developments regarding the order issued six months ago.

Chen Feng was confused: "What was that order from six months ago?"

The snobbish ghost explained, "Six months ago, a superhuman with the ability to regenerate appeared in our city. In order to find him, the Ghost King ordered that any particularly powerful human appearing in the jurisdiction, or any large-scale death incident, must be reported to higher authorities."

They're fucking after me.

Chen Feng thought to himself, "Cihang City really has a lot of tricks up its sleeve."

In TV dramas, there are often protagonists who are killed instead of finishing off their opponents.

So as long as you know how to finish off an opponent, you're considered a normal person with a decent IQ.

In finishing off an enemy, knowing how to leave no survivors and eliminate them completely is a sign of great caution.

Someone like Chen Feng, who finishes off victims without leaving any survivors and also likes to destroy evidence, would be considered abnormally cautious in other places.

But in Cihang City, you still need to practice, baby.

As long as you don't destroy the souls of the minions, the boss will be right at your doorstep the next day.

"After this reopening, I must ask the big shots in the group for a spell or supernatural power to destroy souls."

Chen Feng thought about it and realized that he hadn't revealed any flaws in the past six months.

That previous life was from killing six guardians.

But when he came, Brother Dao told him that ghost stories and Hengyu don't have souls after they die, while the souls of demons return to the subspace.

Therefore, the only way to avoid being exposed is by killing monsters.

But the monsters that Chen Fengqian killed didn't actually die; Cihang, that old woman, picked them all up.

So it should be flawless... right?

The messenger said, "Spirit Demon, we sent people to investigate the Color Village incident you reported half a year ago. They fell into Cihang Bodhisattva's ambush and were all wiped out. The Ghost King is very dissatisfied with this matter, but considering your active reporting, he will not punish you."

Color Village?

Chen Feng was startled, only then remembering that he had slaughtered all those beasts in the village of Se, and such a large-scale death incident would naturally attract the attention of ghosts and monsters.

"The monsters in Cihang City have all sorts of strange abilities, so it's impossible that they don't have a tracking system. If they follow the clues, they'll definitely be able to catch me in the internet cafe."

"But it turned out they were ambushed. It seems that the Bodhisattva Cihang helped me clean up the mess."

Although I already know that Cihang is no good, as an ally, he is really reassuring.

There is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life; it is all thanks to the compassionate Bodhisattva who carries the burden forward.

At this moment, the Poison Demon asked, "We've been searching for the Reincarnated One for half a year, and still no results. It's clear that the Reincarnated One's target isn't us at all. So, is this notification to come here to lift martial law?"

The messenger shook his head: "Not only can it not be canceled, but the efforts should be intensified. From now on, whenever someone dies in the jurisdiction due to a superhuman, it must be reported."

Chen Feng knew immediately that the matter of killing the cow had also been exposed.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it reopens, the beef noodles will come back to life, and their vigilance will drop again.

Ideally, you should figure out all the bosses' weaknesses and then clear the map in a day with lightning speed.

Poison Ghost was clearly a guy who disliked trouble: "We've been searching for half a year and haven't found him. Maybe that reborn person has already become a ghost and is mixed in with us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately felt a tightness in his backside.

But the snob said, "Poisonous ghost, you're joking. He's a reincarnated person. He died and was reborn. How could he become a ghost?"

It's true that it's been restarted after it died.

The problem is that he can't die.

Chen Feng thought to himself.

Meanwhile, the messenger began to deliver the second message: congratulations to Chen Feng on his successful ascension to power and the elimination of the Fire Demon.

The messenger said, "From now on, you will be in charge of Fushou Garden. We will send a little devil to supervise it. You only need to hand over all the income from the cemetery to him every day."

At this point, the messenger paused for a moment: "As long as you obediently pay the money, the Hungry Ghost King won't care what you do, but if anyone dares to embezzle the money, then they are going against the Hungry Ghost King."

With a loud bang.

Chen Feng felt the earth shake and the mountains tremble. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw that the mountain had suddenly grown eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and had come to life.

"No!"

"I was wrong, I won't do it again, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

A pair of hands reached out from the forest, grabbed the big-mouthed ghost, and stuffed it into its belly.

Sold out instantly!

The messenger, looking at the still-shaken leaders, added, "That's how it ends."

It turns out that the mountain was the Hungry Ghost King!

Chen Feng heard a "ding" sound beside his ear, a system notification:

【Hungry Ghost King】

[Level of Resentment: ★★★★★★★★]

How many?

One, two, three... Eight stars?

Chen Feng then realized that five stars was not the upper limit.

This doesn't seem right.

If we compare reality to a game, the goblin minions are one star.

"Sorry, Brother Dao, I was just stating the facts, not pointing out the ghosts. I didn't mean to imply that you were just a nobody."

So it's reasonable that the elite monster Afei is two stars.

The mini-boss, the Fire Demon, is a three-star boss, and its difficulty is normal.

So, the Hungry Ghost King, being a mid-boss, should be four stars, while the Demon King should be five stars.

Where did this eight-star thing come from?

Judging from Chen Feng's experience, the difference in combat power between ghosts and monsters by even one star is more than double. For example, when Dao Ge fought A Fei, it was a complete free kill, and A Fei couldn't even last a round when he was ambushed by the water ghost.

Then these eight stars are at least a thousand times stronger than the Fire Demon.

"I retract my statement that Ghost King is a fish-poisoning bureau."

Chen Feng sighed: "Isn't the difficulty level of our Cihang City a bit off?"

On the way back after the meeting.

The snobbish man walked up to Chen Feng and tried to ingratiate himself, saying, "Brother, you seem a bit down?"

The money has all been taken by the Hungry Ghost King, no wonder it can't rise any higher.

Chen Feng waved his hand, feigning nonchalance, and said, "No way."

The snob saw right through him: "Stop pretending. You finally became a leader, but you have to hand over all the ghost money. I know you're not happy about it."

Chen Feng said, "So what if I feel uncomfortable?"

If you're so capable, go and fight that mountain-sized hungry ghost king!

The snob whispered, "Here's a deal I have. Would you like to hear about it?"

After getting off the train.

The snob revealed his solution: "Each of our leaders has been assigned a little devil to transport the money."

"But that kid isn't very strong, so... you know."

Chen Feng suddenly realized: "You mean, pretend to be a Taoist priest, kill the little ghost, and get paid?"

Then he reported to the Hungry Ghost King that the goods he handed over were stolen by the Taoists nine times out of ten.

Wow, that's brilliant!

But the snob disagreed, saying, "Every time we have problems transporting goods, the higher-ups will suspect us. Brother, you don't want to end up like Big Mouth Ghost, do you?"

Chen Feng asked in confusion, "Then if I can't steal from myself, whose should I steal from?"

The snob laughed, "We'll rob other people's! Those brats, no matter when they set off, will always have to take the train, right? We'll pull off a big heist right here, and split the profits fifty-fifty, how about it?"

Chen Feng asked curiously, "Why did you think of me if it's such a good thing, brother?"

The snobbish ghost said magnanimously, "It's mainly because you're destined to be here, brother. Also, you're new here and don't have much loyalty to the Hungry Ghost King, so you won't betray me."

Chen Feng said, moved, "You're still a kind and honest person!"

Then, the two embraced warmly, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time.

Although the scene was very touching.

But what the snob was thinking was: "Hmph, a ghost who doesn't use his brain will be a ghost for life. When the truth comes out, we'll throw this fool out as a scapegoat."

Chen Feng was thinking, "Hmph, a 50/50 split? After it's done, I'll double-cross you, take you down, and all your skills and money will be mine."
