With the cool breeze wearing the skin of [Difficult Kid], I felt that the whole world was different.
Sakurai City, which used to be normal in the eyes of the cool breeze, is now shrouded in gray gas, hidden in the dark night sky. If the cool breeze hadn't flown high into the sky, these gases wouldn't have been detected.
After all, he became a ghost and could fly freely. Liangfeng naturally wanted to experiment with the feeling of flying, and then discovered these gray gases hidden in the darkness.
However, he found that his flying was not that convenient. Specifically, he was not flying, but floating.
But when he reached a certain height, that is, just after he touched the gray gas, although he could continue upward, he felt a pain like his body was being pulled. It was not unbearable, but...it hurt!
This should be the height limit.
And because he is floating, his speed is not very fast.
However, when touching these gray gases, the cool breeze feels very comfortable.
Maybe these gray gases are related to ghosts.
"But what are these gases? Where do they come from? Are they also found in the sky?" Liangfeng frowned.
Then Liangfeng curiously grabbed a handful of gray gas and looked at it in his hand. Although it was gas, with the kid's skin condition, he could hold the gas in his hand.
Then Liangfeng's eyes widened.
The gray gas actually lit up with a familiar white light in his hands!

Liangfeng blinked, and then looked around. The entire sky of Sakurai City and the sky in the distance were shrouded in this gray gas. If all this was recycled...
The cool breeze feels like it’s going to blow up!
Happiness comes too suddenly.
Liangfeng raised his hand, and ten seconds later, his recovery points increased by ten.
Liangfeng looked at the gray gas above his head, thought for a moment, then endured the pain, raised his height, entered the gray gas, and disappeared.
The one below is filled with thin ghost energy, but what about the one above?
Although it hurts a bit, I just go in and rub it in, not much else.
It was now eight o'clock in the evening.
It was already night time, and some beings who had been sleeping during the day began to become active at night.
Moreover, today is not easy because today is the Hungry Ghost Festival!
The Hungry Ghost Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, falls in July and a half, and is called the Bon Festival in Buddhism.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Shangyuan Festival by the Han people, which is a celebration of the Lantern Festival.
The Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and in some cases on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month. Originally it was Xiaoqiu, when some crops were ripe. It was customary for the people to worship their ancestors and use new rice as offerings to report the harvest to their ancestors. Therefore, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, every family worships their ancestors and performs rituals when doing so.
On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, people visit the tombs and pay homage to their ancestors.
Legend has it that all ghosts are released from the underworld on this day, and people generally carry out activities to worship ghosts. Whenever there is a new funeral, a new grave will be visited, and ghosts will usually be sacrificed locally. Therefore, it is a festival centered on ghost worship, and it is one of the largest sacrificial festivals among the people.
Although this world is no longer divided into countries, different regions and different ethnic groups have different legends and customs.
This kind of legendary festival is no longer so orthodox in the era of modern science. There are also fewer people offering sacrifices and many forms are missing. However, the core of worshiping ancestors and visiting their graves still exists.
Of course, no matter what, almost no one would go to the cemetery to worship their ancestors in the middle of the night.
But in this world with supernatural beings, is the Ghost Festival really that simple?
Some awakened special beings rose into the sky after sensing the things in the sky that were attracted to them.
But some beings that couldn't fly too high or couldn't leave the ground could only open their mouths and roar incompetently.
…
In an apartment, two figures stood in front of the window, looking at the sky.
It was the girl and the spider girl who Liangfeng met before. They looked a little strange at this time.
"The Ghost River has begun to descend, and the carnival has begun." Spider Girl said.
The Hungry Ghost Festival is indeed not simple.
Every year during the Hungry Ghost Festival, a large amount of ghost energy will fall from the sky. These ghost energies come from unknown sources, but they appear high in the sky like rivers, so they are called ghost rivers.
Whenever the ghost river appears, the ghosts will start to have a carnival, rise to the sky, and enjoy a large amount of ghost energy to increase their strength.
And some ghosts that cannot ascend can only wait underground.
The Ghost River will fall from top to bottom. As it continues to fall, the Ghost River will become thinner and thinner, and finally it will fall to the ground and dissipate completely.
Although the ghost energy will become thin in the end, the ghosts waiting on the ground can still enjoy the ghost energy.
And for a period of time after the Hungry Ghost Festival, the ghosts on the ground will become quite active.
However, in this carnival of ghosts, what really makes the ghosts quickly increase their strength is not the falling ghost energy, but the same kind awakened by the ghost energy!
Just like a big fish eating a small fish, it devours each other and becomes stronger.
"Get ready. This period is a good opportunity for us to expand our manpower. Those high-quality subordinates may have woken up."
"Yes, young master!"
They did not choose to absorb the falling ghost energy. Although ghost energy can improve their strength, the improvement is limited. The real function of ghost energy is to wake up those sleeping entities.
"By the way, where is the boy from last time?"
"Shilong is investigating."
"Um."
The girl didn't say much.
They had no choice but to leave home and start a business in this strange city with two subordinates. In addition, they had few resources in this city and many things were inconvenient, so they had to give their subordinates some time.
But the girl believed in her subordinates' abilities.
…
High in the sky, the cool breeze endured the pain and continued to rise for a certain distance, and then...
"It's no longer possible. I can't bear it anymore. Let's stay here."
Liangfeng grinned. He could already feel that the ghost energy around him seemed to be getting thicker and denser. If he tried to squeeze in, the surroundings would become tighter.
Here, visibility is very low, no more than one meter.
Liangfeng grabbed a handful of ghost energy.
Soon the ghost energy lit up with a white light.
"Why is it still white?"
[Item: A handful of slightly rich ghost energy (recyclable)]
Liangfeng thought for a moment, then stretched out his hands and picked up more ghost energy.
This time, a green light lit up the ghost spirit.
"Sure enough, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes!"
[Item: A handful of slightly rich ghost energy (recyclable)]
The cool breeze began a happy recycling.
However, after a few minutes of cool breeze recovery, the ghost energy in his hand turned into white light again.
"Huh? Wait, the surroundings seem to be getting looser."
However, the pain in my body has not changed much, it is still so painful.
"The surroundings have become looser. Could it be that the ghost energy has become thinner?"
Liangfeng frowned and did not continue recycling.
At this time, the recovery point has risen crazily to 2170 points, and it is almost possible to get another ten consecutive points.
But this sudden wealth did not make Liangfeng completely blinded by ghost energy.
The ghost energy around him changed, and he had to be more careful.
Then Liangfeng made a decision.
"Retreat first!"
Liangfeng began to decline, but Liangfeng found that the time to withdraw from the ghost energy was much longer than the time for him to enter the ghost energy.
"Does it mean I'm so far in?"
Finally, the pain on Liangfeng's body disappeared. In theory, he should have evacuated the area with ghost energy, but there was still ghost energy around him.
The ghost energy became thinner, and the cool breeze could see farther.
"Here... the ghost energy is sinking and becoming thinner!"
Liangfeng made a judgment.
Liangfeng didn't understand these ghost spirits very well, let alone what would happen if these ghost spirits fell on the ground.
But no matter how you think about it, it doesn't look like a good thing for the living people.
However, at this time, a sound not far away from him made him alert.
It was a roar of pain.
There seemed to be something in front of him.
Brain: Go and see?
Legs: No, go!
The cool breeze turned and flew downwards.
In the direction where Liangfeng heard the sound just now, a blood-red figure was tearing another transparent figure into his mouth.
A red-clothed evil ghost is devouring a fierce ghost!
The hunt has begun!
The red-clothed devil looked at the direction Liangfeng was leaving.
There is something attracting it in that direction!
The red-clothed evil ghost carried Li Gui's body and chased it in the direction of the thing that attracted it.
Liangfeng rushed out of the ghost aura area and found that the ghost aura was indeed sinking and becoming thinner.
At this height, the cool breeze picked up a handful of ghost energy, but the ghost energy no longer glowed.
"Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Now that there has been a qualitative change, it seems that the ghost energy has really become less."
But when Liangfeng turned around, he was startled.
Transparent figures were floating over the distant city, and some figures were fighting each other.
It's a ghost!
There are ghosts at different heights, but there are not many of them. The higher you go up, the fewer there are.
"Are these ghosts attracted by ghost energy?"
Liangfeng didn't think much and flew directly downwards.
Go home quickly.
But when Liangfeng passed by several fierce ghosts, the heads of several fierce ghosts turned and looked in the direction of Liangfeng, and then chased after them.
A total of three relatively close ghosts chased Liangfeng.
Then, a red-clothed evil spirit rushed out of the ghost aura, and the evil spirit in its hand was completely swallowed by it.
The moment the evil ghost in red appeared, all the ghosts around him immediately ran away, or rushed directly back to the city, probably preparing to go home.
The red-clothed evil ghost ignored the scattered ghosts, but looked at Liangfeng and the three ghosts following Liangfeng, and smiled. The smile was weird, but it could be seen that it was very happy.
