Hearing there was a chance to live, the four ghost kings became excited, their minds frantically recalling ghost kings they knew, rapidly sifting through potential 'scapegoats'.
The next second.
As if by unspoken agreement, the demons raised their hands almost simultaneously, like well-behaved students eager to answer a teacher's question, raising them higher and higher:
"Sir, sir, sir, I know where a ghost king is, it's very close to Hawaii."
"I know where a ghost king is too, sir, I can take you there, no! I'll find a reason to lure it over!"
"I have one too, I have one too."
They spoke one after another.
Zhang Wei, who was receiving a massage, turned his head on the massage bed and waved his hand gently, saying:
"No need to rush, speak one by one. Hmm, werewolf, you go first."
"Alright, sir. I know a succubus, she's wicked and has committed countless murders. To maintain her status, she's also colluded with some evil ghost-exorcising forces, like the Thai Lersi cult, the American Satanic Church, and the Senluo Division of Great Xia. Many are connected to her. She provides them with human trafficking services to supplement their numbers."
As werewolf Oude spoke,
Zhang Wei clearly saw the demons and others freeze. It seemed they all knew the succubus king he mentioned, and even the drowned ghost king's mouth twitched, clearly indicating that the 'scapegoat' they had found was also that succubus.
However.
Unlike the demons' stunned reaction, Zhang Wei was unconcerned, his attention fixed on another point:
"What did you just say? The Senluo Division of Great Xia?"
Zhang Wei half-sat up and looked intently at the werewolf:
"You said that succubus king is connected to the Senluo Division?"
Although unaware of Zhang Wei's dealings with the Senluo Division, the werewolf ghost king, desperate to survive, nodded vigorously:
"Yes, the Senluo Division of Great Xia. That's what I heard. I think Akro and the others must have heard it too. Ask Akro and them if you don't believe me."
Immediately after.
Zhang Wei cast a questioning glance, and the demons nodded in unison:
"I've heard about it too."
"I don't know if it's true, but there is indeed such a rumor. Because succubi specialize in human trafficking, no, to be precise, they traffic in ghosts. Unlike other ghosts, succubi are not strong in combat, so they can only find alternative ways, like trafficking ghosts, to gain profits and improve themselves."
"That succubus king's business is huge. While not the most powerful globally, she's quite famous. You must have heard of her in Great Xia, sir. The Great Xia Guard Division is very close to the Senluo Division, and the Senluo Division surely needs personnel. I think it's normal for succubi to do business with them."
Subsequently.
After the werewolf and others explained, Zhang Wei understood.
Regardless of the country, for evil forces, national ghost-exorcising organizations are primary targets for elimination. This often leads to a shortage of personnel for evil forces, thus creating a strange industry: capturing and selling ghosts, with evil forces using various methods to control these ghosts for their own use.
"Ghost wholesalers, that's what they are."
Zhang Wei muttered.
As he spoke,
He looked at the werewolf ghost king Oude:
"This succubus is good, she can be my target. You..."
Before Zhang Wei could finish saying, "Your life is saved," his phone chimed with a WeChat notification. He picked it up and saw a message from Zhang Chao, informing him about his blind date results, and ending with another message.
[Zhang Chao]: Zhang Wei, I'm planning to go into seclusion for a while. If you need anything, leave me a WeChat message. I'll check it when I have time during my cultivation. That's all for now. I'm going to work hard to deal with the werewolf! Also, thanks for arranging the blind date, my good brother.jpg
Looking at Zhang Chao's message, Zhang Wei's eyebrows twitched:
"This Zhang Chao actually succeeded in his blind date. My 'souvenir' might just turn into my brother's future wife."
His voice was not loud, but the werewolves heard it, and their hearts suddenly sank, making them uneasy.
Zhang Wei noticed their change:
"Well, my friend's blind date is over. He chose one of them. I was going to tell you, werewolf, that since you provided the succubus king, I could spare your life. But now it seems unnecessary, because my friend chose your sister."
[Ding! Werewolf Ghost King is ecstatic, Hahahaha, long live Stephanie!!! l('w')┘三└('w')｣]
[Host gains System Points +180]
[Ding! Other Ghost Kings are envious and jealous]
[Host gains System Points +380]
Along with the system prompts,
Zhang Wei briefly explained Zhang Chao's blind date. When the drowned ghost king learned that Zhang Chao hadn't even gone on a blind date with the person he introduced, his face turned green with fright.
"Sir, don't kill me. Although the ghost I introduced wasn't chosen by your friend, I know where the succubus king is."
"Oh? Are you sure you know?"
"Absolutely and positively. And I can contact the succubus king right now."
"Alright then, I'll spare your life for now. Once I deal with the succubus king, you'll be free. What about you guys, demon, vampire?"
"Sir, we can introduce other ghost kings."
The demon and vampire king said in unison.
Zhang Wei nodded:
"After I deal with the succubus king, you'll take me to find the ghost kings you mentioned. But before that..."
As he spoke,
Zhang Wei, as if performing magic, produced a collar:
"Except for the werewolf, as he might be my friend's future in-law, the three of you play rock-paper-scissors and choose one to be my slave."
[Ding! Werewolf Ghost King is delighted again, long live Stephanie, (～￣▽￣)～!!!]

[Ding! Other Ghost Kings are envious to the point of their livers turning purple]

The next moment.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
In a massage room, the masseuse watched in trembling shock as three terrifying monsters played rock-paper-scissors in a best-of-three match.
Soon.
[Ding! Demon's face is ashen, Damn it, why did I lose all my rock-paper-scissors? Is it because I'm a demon, so my luck is all negative? Damn you, God, I curse you!]
[Host gains System Points +190]
[Ding! Other Ghost Kings have narrowly escaped]
[Host gains System Points +290]
Zhang Wei ignored the demon's despair and threw the collar, placing it around the demon's neck.
A system prompt echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Defeated Demon Akro, fulfilling the slave collar condition. Slave collar activated.]
Zhang Wei felt a strange connection established with Demon Akro. Unlike the ghost back tattoo, Akro's life and death were entirely under his control, and he could even know exactly what the demon was thinking.
At this moment.
A system panel for Akro, separate from his own system panel, appeared before Zhang Wei's eyes:
[Slave]: Akro
[Identity]: Demon
[Strength]: Beginner Ghost King
[Assigned System Points]: 0
"Hmm? Slaves can also have System Points assigned by me? Interesting."
Zhang Wei murmured to himself. With a thought, he infused System Points into Demon Akro, a full 40,000 System Points.
Instantly.
Before the bewildered Akro and the astonished werewolf Oude and the others, Demon Akro's ghost king aura surged like a rocket, rapidly surpassing the ghost kings present, causing them to feel a sense of dread.
[Ding! Demon is bewildered, wtf? What's happening, I... I'm so strong!!]
[Host gains System Points +150]
[Ding! Other Ghost Kings are stunned, what happened to Akro? Did wearing a dog collar make him orgasm in terms of strength?]
[Host gains System Points +350]
Involuntarily.
Even Demon Akro, along with all the ghost kings, looked at Zhang Wei with awe in their eyes.
Although they didn't know why Akro's strength had skyrocketed, they were certain of one thing: it had nothing to do with Akro. It was clearly the 'Sir' who had put the collar on him, making him increase his strength so dramatically.
Having learned the truth.
The demons and the others were stunned once more.
[Ding! Demon is excited, Holy crap, thank God, my luck isn't that bad after all, hahahaha, being a slave... feels so good!!!]
[Host gains System Points +160]
[Ding! Other Ghost Kings... Turns out I was the clown all along. I thought I won, but we all lost miserably. What should I do... I want to be a dog for the Sir too o(╥﹏╥)o]
[Host gains System Points +360]
At this moment.
The drowned ghost king and the others felt an unprecedented regret. Why had they won rock-paper-scissors? For the first time, they longed to be a dog, even a guard dog.
