Chapter 1: The Ghost in the Mask

The night, for some, represents the end of the day, while for others, the revelry has just begun.

On the bar's huge sign, different colors of neon lights spell together a string of flying ornate letters, which stands out in the deep night. At half past one in the morning, the crowd continued unabated, the smell of tobacco and alcohol filled every inch of the corner, the brilliant lights, the deafening music, and the men and women writhed wildly on the dance floor under the influence of alcohol, in order to release the usual accumulated pressure.

This is the "specter of a mask".

The largest and most famous gold cave in S City.

The door of the bar suddenly opened, and a man stumbled out with the help of his female companion.

The man didn't know how much wine he drank, and the woman wasted a lot of energy to keep him from rolling down the high steps, although she reminded the man to be careful to walk slowly, her face was full of disgust and impatience for men, and with her makeup, which had already been spent, her originally gorgeous face looked a little scary at the moment.

The man was half-asleep and half-awake, and he was always muttering something unclearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, when he suddenly pulled his neck and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Waste! It's all fucking rubbish! ”

The woman screamed in fright by this sudden attack, and the man seemed to notice the woman's existence at this time, he glanced at the woman, and suddenly slapped the woman in the face hard, knocking the woman to the ground.

The man's eyes were red, panting, like a mad beast, he pounced on the woman, opened his bow left and right, slapped the woman in the face one by one, and scolded: "You dare to look down on me, don't you?" Slut ...... Even if Lao Tzu loses half of his property, crushing you to death is the same as playing! Do you dare to look down on me too? Let you dare to look down on ......"

The man didn't show the slightest mercy, and the woman could struggle at first, but after the three slaps, she was completely stunned, she couldn't hear what the man was saying at all, and her head was full of buzzing.

Just when the woman thought she was about to be killed, the crazy man in her suddenly disappeared.

Saved?

The woman opened her swollen eyes with difficulty, and vaguely saw a person standing in front of her.

A woman dressed in black.

Mei looked at the woman who had passed out on the ground, and the man who was motionless five or six meters away, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, thought about it, and took out his mobile phone from the bag that the woman had dropped on the side, and dialed 120.

Although she doesn't care much about other people's lives and deaths, it is not wise to think that her first official appearance in China is related to human life in a public place.

After all, the man had at least half of his ribs broken.

Charm pushes open the door to the specter of a mask, and then tries to close it.

At this time, it was the time of the carnival, the lights and music were already dazzling and dizzying, and the air was unbearable.

Fortunately, the road was unimpeded, and Mei sat down by the bar, stretched out her hand, and gently buckled it twice on the countertop.

The waiter's hand was wiped intently with the glass.

It's a small bar with only two chairs, a waiter, and it's a very remote place compared to the whole bar.

But it doesn't make everyone who walks by turn a blind eye to this place.

The waiter put down his cup and looked up at the guest in front of him.

She wore a baseball cap on her head, covering most of her face, and a half-used coat that looked like a man, a cheap black tracksuit, and her shoes were smudged as if they had given up on her save. She is tall, but her slender limbs and slightly immature jaw all indicate that she is an underage girl.

The girl's dress is really embarrassing, but her exposed skin is simply delicate and fair, although there is a faint touch of unhealthy cyan, but it looks even more beautiful like jade, and even faintly exudes a luster under the reflection of the light.

"What does Miss need?"

"I'm going to get a card."

"Oh?" The waiter looked at the girl in front of him seriously.

"Please come with me."

Behind this bar was the wall, and the waiter touched something, and a two-meter-wide door silently cracked open on the wall.

Mei followed the waiter in.

Inside was a small hall, arranged in the shape of a living room, with another door on the wall facing the entrance, and a heavy curtain hung on the door, and a faint noise came from behind.

There was a waitress standing by the door, and when she saw the two enter, she bowed respectfully to the charm with a decent smile on her face.

"Show me your card, miss."

"I'm here to take this young lady to get a card."

While the two waiters were talking, Mei began to look at the setting.

To the left of the door is a row of white leather sofas, and on the opposite wall is a large LCD screen, which is divided into eight compartments, each with two names, followed by the corresponding profession and their respective odds.

Mei was staring at the LCD screen for a moment, when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind, and turned around to find that the waiter who brought her in had left at some point.

"I don't know what type of card you want?"

"Ghost card."

When the waitress heard this, the smile on her face froze for a moment.

"Okay, I'll be ready for you right away."

The waitress took out a small black box from under the small table in front of her.

The box was no bigger than a palm, but the waitress struggled to hold it, and she carefully placed it on the table and opened it, taking out an equally black card and a slender black pen.

The black pen was about three inches long, and under the instructions of the maid, Mei pierced her finger with the sharp end, and a drop of blood was immediately sucked into the pen.

The pen itself did not change, but the card, but the moment the blood beads were absorbed, the black on it gradually faded, and the whole card transformed into a translucent white, a trace of red lines grew from the four corners to the middle of the card, when they converged, the card suddenly shone brightly, in the light, these reds rose from the card, and condensed into a small crystal above.

The crystals looked very pure and quite solid, but the moment they saw this crystal, the look on the waitress's face became strange.

"Ground Advanced...... Psychics? ”

The crystal was just a phantom that slowly dissipated in less than five seconds, and the waitress tried to keep the smile on her face, but she didn't know that it made her expression even more strange.

Mei hooked her lips, took the card, and used the black pen to write two bright red words on it.

"Quaint"

With the end of the last stroke, the black pen snapped and shattered into a pile of fragments.

This subtle sound finally brought the maid back to her senses.

"Oh, oh...... Good. ”

"Since you're holding a ghost card, you can either place bets here or sign up for a gladiatorial fight in person...... I'll tell you the rules now, if the gladiator you bet on loses, then there's nothing to say, but if you win, then 10% of the overall profit will go to the gladiator personally, and the remaining 90% will be your personal income......"

"In other words, if one of the two people who ends up doesn't buy it, then even if you win, you won't be able to make any money, right?"

"Yes." The waitress then said: "It's just a normal procedure, we still have a project, as long as you win, you can get money." ”

The waitress said, took out the remote control and pressed a button, and the LCD screen immediately switched to an image called the streak leaderboard.

"Anyone whose name is not on this list can directly challenge the people on the list, and if they succeed, they will get the corresponding rewards, and those with green names can challenge today."

Mei raised her head and looked up from the bottom, and the list only roughly wrote the name, occupation, and the prize money that can be obtained after the challenge is successful, which is really simple and outrageous, and these people are almost all martial arts cultivators.

Now she has only four people to choose from.

The first one is ranked forty-eighth, martial cultivation, junior human rank, and a prize of one thousand.

The second ranked thirty, martial arts cultivator, intermediate human rank, and a prize of three thousand.

The third ranked twenty-two, martial arts cultivation, advanced human rank, and a prize of eight thousand.

These three options are very safe for Mei, she is penniless now, and she came here to make money, she can expect that she will kill all these three goals, and this money is definitely more than enough to support her to the capital.

But......

The ghostly eyes looked at the last target faintly.

Stone Mountain, ranked first, martial arts, advanced ground level, 100,000 prizes!
