"What?!—" The special plastic man was clearly human in life, but after death, he turned into a monster… uh, no one knows why this plasticization happened, but it's probably related to his "ideal world" and obsession. Suddenly hearing a string of blessings, the next moment this newly merged super-large plastic man lost control of himself and inexplicably started performing a "disorderly" dance.
Mu Anqi couldn't understand what kind of dance it was either. Anyway, if Miss Mermaid were to perform it, it would surely be very hot and seductive, but with a super-large plastic man…
Hmm, it gave off a very off-putting vibe, like a giant robot dancing a sexy dance.
While the first move was still ongoing, Xia Yun had already safely placed Mu Anqi in a secure spot. Mu Anqi looked at Fang Yunjiu: "Your Evil God's Fire is very effective against these plastics. If Xia Yun takes you along, can you be sure to hit that person accurately?"
"Yes." Fang Yunjiu was not afraid of heights. As Xia Yun approached, her abilities enhanced by the Evil God's possession, she quickly mounted the flying sword. Xia Yun maneuvered the flying sword to narrowly avoid the plastic man's twisting and swinging movements—if they weren't careful, a misstrike could be serious… the force wasn't to be taken lightly. Thanks to excellent flying sword piloting skills, and Fang Yunjiu's lack of fear of heights, Xia Yun had no need to hold back and sped toward the plastic man's head in a beautifully curved arc.
Even fused, that special plastic man was still the most conspicuous and refined one. Fang Yunjiu didn't even need much time to identify him. As Xia Yun flew past the plastic man's head, Fang Yunjiu raised both hands high: "Burn everything! Evil God's Fire!"
The purple flames instantly ignited as they were cast, precisely hitting the special plastic man who had merged into the super-large plastic man's head.
"Damn it! Damn it! What kind of sorcery did you cast on me? This is my territory!" The plastic man screamed in pain from the flames, followed by a string of furious curses. Just like Mu Anqi and the other players who first entered the Shattered Mirror Continent and the Black Mirror Vortex without understanding anything, the monsters pulled in by the Black Mirror Vortex initially had no idea what was happening either.
And because of this plastic man's uniqueness, he completely regarded this place as the "ideal world" he could create after his death. This was like a mental construct of the spirit world; his imagination and long-held desires had, under obsession, become "reality," but…
With the intrusion of outsiders, everything changed.
At first, he was proud and didn't think these humans could do anything, even considering turning them into his own subjects. He had created this place with his own hands, modified many marine creatures, built and managed the city meticulously, and in this city, he had absolute control, which made him somewhat arrogant.
So arrogant that these humans just came into the factory, and at first, he even tried to recruit them directly with words.
"Ah—" Melting, melting…
The Evil God's Fire was not ordinary flames; it was far more troublesome, inflicting greater harm on monsters. Those it touched would feel a hellish pain—this was the Evil God's "perverse amusement."
The plastic man tried to avoid it. If he could control himself, he could immediately separate from the giant plastic man, extinguish the flames, and restore himself. Essentially, he had become plastic—able to repair himself as long as he wasn't completely destroyed. But Mu Anqi recited four blessings in one breath, forcing him to perform four random movements. During this time, Xia Yun repeatedly maneuvered the flying sword past the giant plastic man's head, allowing Fang Yunjiu to unleash the Evil God's Fire on him again and again.
The acrid smell of burning plastic filled the air, with charred black pieces dripping down. The giant plastic man's head was reduced to less than a tenth of its original size, and the special plastic man was almost completely incinerated. Just then, the waves were violently parted, and a massive red ghostly figure quietly surfaced. Two enormous crimson eyes suddenly opened on the ocean floor, and an invisible pressure completely restrained the giant plastic man. However, the plastic man was performing squats, and under the clash of this pressure and his movements, the fused plastic instantly shattered into fragments…
It was as if a heavy snow had fallen on the ocean floor.
"You all did very well." The massive red ghostly figure gradually faded, and the crimson eyes slowly closed. A woman holding a red umbrella, wearing a red qipao and red high heels, gently descended to the ocean floor. Her hair was styled high, her red lips parted slightly, letting out a soft laugh. "This one has some intelligence. Leave the recruiting to us." If recruitment failed, they would still handle the cleanup.
Mu Anqi and the others were somewhat stunned. Was this also the Ghost King of Taiyin? Because the plastic ghost still had some potential to be recruited, it couldn't be destroyed here, so the Ghost King would take over next?
No—does this mean… the plastic ghost isn't dead even after being burned like that?!

[Returning to Shattered Mirror Continent: Spirit Ghost Voyage!]
Before being transported back, Mu Anqi and the others saw the female ghost in the red qipao retract her umbrella. Using the tip of the umbrella, she poked into a pile of melted plastic and directly pulled out the ghostly figure of a man from it...
After that, they were transported away.
However, the place they returned to was not on the ghost ship at sea. Mu Anqi and the others all collapsed onto the floor in a heap. It looked like a large control room. Mu Anqi saw massive display screens, and…
A huge wave of monsters and spirits.
The White Fox Demon King receiving Wu Sansheng, the Green Vine Demon Sisters receiving the Fang siblings, the Sword-Cult Ghost Girl receiving Xia Yun, and General Ji receiving Mu Anqi…
Hmm, only the mermaid Junlin had no "person" to receive her. She sat there in confusion, only realizing she had returned to the control room of the Planning Ghost and the Responsible Ghost. Her tail tapped the floor, and she noticed she was still tightly holding the hand grenade Mu Anqi had given her.
"I-I'll return it to you! And… thank you!" Under the gaze of all the Demon Kings and Ghost Kings, Miss Mermaid wished she could sprout eight legs and run away. She quickly returned the hand grenade to Mu Anqi, then desperately dashed toward the Planning Ghost and Responsible Ghost, shrinking behind them.
Planning Ghost, Responsible Ghost: Well… we don't feel safe either.
Mu Anqi was still looking at General Ji when a handful of hand grenades was suddenly shoved into her arms. She subtly sensed that General Ji seemed a bit displeased, so she hurriedly returned the grenades to her storage ring. Then she accepted the little fire-breathing dragon device Wu Sansheng handed her, finally looking at General Ji with an utterly innocent expression.
At that time, when she asked everyone whether they wanted to enter the Black Mirror Vortex, Mu Anqi had even taken out the token and held it in her palm. General Ji hadn't opposed it at all! Mu Anqi straightened her back and looked at General Ji, feeling completely justified. Besides, in the Black Mirror Vortex, General Ji had even encouraged them to fight directly.
General Ji, who had been constantly watching the little money tree, naturally didn't miss Mu Anqi's series of small movements. That slight hint of displeasure immediately dissipated, and she even felt like smiling. But there were too many Shattered Mirror experts here, and with the White Fox Spirit she had interacted with for so long, General Ji continued to watch the little money tree with her expressionless face, observing her gradually shift from self-righteousness to "a little guilty."
Mu Anqi: I—I didn't even do anything in the Black Mirror Vortex! That red-qipao Ghost King was so enchanting and hot, and I didn't even glance at her twice—so why is the General staring at me like this?
"Come over~ let me see if you're hurt. Honestly, you haven't even saved enough points to buy weapons, so why did you enter the Black Mirror Vortex? I told you the first time you go into the Black Mirror Vortex, I'd take you…" Bai Yulai's tone was soft and alluring, her voice dripping with sweetness. Every bit of charm was hidden in her words. Even though she was speaking only to Wu Sansheng, the Fang siblings and Xia Yun beside her couldn't help but be momentarily stunned. As for Mu Anqi…
Mu Anqi looked at General Ji with an innocent expression, not daring to be distracted.
Meanwhile, Wu Sansheng, being greeted so warmly by the White Fox Spirit, seemed completely unaffected, showing absolutely no emotional response. She simply answered calmly: "I'm not hurt. It just happened that my teammates were reliable, and I wanted to see the Black Mirror Vortex for myself."
Bai Yulai's behavior was exaggerated and enthusiastic. As soon as Wu Sansheng approached, before she even reached her, she raised her big fox tail and pulled her straight into her embrace. "Did you use my fox fur in the game again? Isn't the little fox cute? I'll give you another one—just in time, it's the shedding season."
When Mu Anqi heard this, she couldn't help but glance over and saw Wu Sansheng expressionlessly being swatted by the big fox tail. Ah! It's backwards! Why is it the tail swatting her, instead of her holding the tail? Still, Mu Anqi could understand why Bai Yulai described Wu Sansheng as a "scholar unmoved by temptation." Look at her expressionless face, even faintly showing a bit of helplessness. If she didn't know Wu Sansheng's personality, or hadn't seen the little round one rolling over at her feet, she might have thought she was just coldly indifferent—Mu Anqi almost suspected she was showing off her Versailles-style composure.
The Sword-Cult Ghost Girl and the Green Vine Demon Sisters behaved more normally. The Sword-Cult Ghost Girl patted Xia Yun's shoulder, praising her for doing well this time, encouraging her to keep improving in the next game, and advised her to use the rest period to practice sword techniques rather than relying too much on skills. Once her swordsmanship matured, she could create her own skills, and so on.
The Green Vine Demon Sisters, on the other hand, first fiercely praised Fang Yunjiu, expressing great satisfaction with her performance. Then, in a "tough love" manner, they snapped their Green Vine Whip on the ground: "Fang Xunjiu! Why are you slacking off again?!"
"Eat, eat, eat! All you do in the game is eat! I told you to protect your sister—why didn't you protect your sister?! Always slacking off in the game, now that the game's over, you're going to get my special training!"
