[Xinhuan: Mia for the new God of Tricksters!]

[Adam_Balch_7324: You're bound to get messed up when playing with a trickster and a prankster]

"Run!" Mia shouted as they began retreating toward the hotel before their escape route was blocked.

The ghost's roar reverberated across the mountain as the creatures became even more ferocious.

"This is not good." Iris clicked her tongue. "I should stay behind and buy you some time. We also need to bring some reinforcement."

Once Mia had decided to run away and Theo was unable to fight anymore, she thought she should take care of the commands as the highest ranking person among them.

However, Mia shouted. "Keep running. At least past that wall of hair. We can't let you get surrounded by the hair!"

Iris hesitated, but Mia's words sounded rational. In the end, she would be fighting this demon to the best of her ability, so it was better to take the fight where she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Iris ended up passing the wall of hair while the rest had almost reached the hotel's entrance.

Lancelot stopped and turned around, thinking he had gone far enough. More than this would endanger the hotel and its guests.

The others also followed suit and turned around. Rintaro and Iris stood in the front, ready to unleash everything just to buy enough time.

"You guys should go inside the hotel. Evacuate as many people as possible," Iris shouted.

"That's right. We'll stall this monster… Holding the rear is the work of the old." Rintaro smirked as if he were ready to fight to the death.

As much as the students wanted to obey them right away, they still thought Mia was capable of commanding them. Since Mia hadn't said anything, they couldn't help but discuss it first.

"What are we going to do now? The ghost is closing in." Serena gritted her teeth.

"We have to defend the hotel as much as we can. There are a lot of people inside." Li Wei took a deep breath as if he were ready to fight with his life on the line.

"Fair enough. We won't be able to escape if the ghost kills those people and becomes stronger." Haruka nodded and took out a few talismans.

"What are you all saying?" Mia's voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears. Her voice was calm and her tone sounded nonchalant.

They were flabbergasted. Why would Mia act this way? All the eyes soon focused on Mia as if demanding an explanation.

Mia's eyes were closed for a second, remembering a certain scene where her father gave her a special instruction.

"I want you to do a few things for me. I don't know what kind of enemy the author is going to create, but I know that he will censor the words I'm going to tell you right now."

The words Theo told her back then were the reason why Mia smiled confidently. "It's going to be fine. After all, we have bought enough time. The enemy will die in…"

The others didn't understand where Mia's confidence came from. In fact, they were in a perilous situation. Let alone the hotel, they couldn't even ensure their own safety.

However, Mia didn't bother with their reaction as she continued.

"Three…"

"Two…"

"One…"

All of a sudden, a huge fluctuation of energy erupted behind the ghost and shocked the entire battlefield. The ground seemed to tremble as killing intent permeated the air.

"Hehehe." Mia let out a big grin as though everything had gone according to plan. "I have completed my part, Dad. It's your turn now."

"!!!" Everyone couldn't help but drop their jaws to the ground. Some of them sensed some familiarity with this energy. After all, this energy came from none other than Theo.

Instead of the blazing hair, Theo's figure emerged from Mia's teddy bear. Yes, the same teddy bear that had been caught by the hair.

It turned out the teddy bear wasn't Mia's summoned creature. Instead, it was Theo who used illusions to make it look like hers. He used the strings to knit the teddy bear and applied the illusion to add color to the strings.

Everyone had been tricked. Theo was never inside the hair. It was Mia's teddy bear.

Without anyone realizing it, Theo and the teddy bear switched places.

And the reason for her counting earlier was none other than the remaining time Theo had with his weapon. That was right. The reason why Theo emerged from the teddy bear was not because he undid the illusion. The strings that created the teddy bear had simply disappeared.

"!!!" The ghost tried to empower himself once again but he soon noticed that the essence in the air was pure. In other words, the ghost had come out of the contaminated area.

In that instant, the ghost came to a realization. Mia was never troubled enough to run away. The only reason she wanted to go near the hotel was because it would make the ghost leave the contaminated area, which disabled its ability to utilize the contaminated energy.

Both father and daughter had realized that the contaminated energy made the ghost far more powerful or even close to invincible. That was why she made the ghost chase after her.

And there was one more big miscalculation the ghost had. It started from the very first time Theo and Mia joined the fight.

Yes, the reason he lost was because he had focused too much on Theo and Mia. The shampoo and salon that they played together were to grab its attention.

After that, Theo suggested two more games: Simon Says and Ring Toss. This was what Theo and Mia needed to defeat the ghost.

Despite fighting fiercely, there were two people who still hadn't joined the fight. They were the manager and the security captain.

The manager obviously remained inside the hotel to calm down the people. But Rach had been tasked with gathering the weird plants that had become the source of contamination.

Rach had actually looped around the hotel with all the plants with him. And from that point on, the contamination on their side had stopped while the other side continued expanding. That was what they needed to defeat him.

Just like what Theo said previously, they needed to gather the plants on one side and fight the ghost in the area that hadn't been contaminated yet.

And this was what happened. The key distraction was those two games. Mia used Simon Says to make Jayden punch the ghost to the side. This way, the ghost wouldn't see Rach, who was actually looping around them in the opposite direction.

It would be too suspicious if they used the same thing, so Theo used the Ring Toss game to block the ghost's vision, allowing Rach to bring all those plants away without the ghost noticing.

The other things they did were merely in order to buy time for the sake of Theo's power. Now that Theo's power had disappeared, Theo could finally pull another weapon from the Arkhasians.

Since when did it fall for the schemes of this father and daughter duo? The ghost didn't know the answer.

But the true answer was actually from the start. The moment Mia grabbed the Eye of Truth artifact, she could see the true appearance of the contaminated energy, allowing her to see where its range was instead of sensing it. And the other reason was actually the butterfly hairpin that Mia got from Theo.

On the one hand, it looked like the artifact was meant to mark an area since it would last for a week. On the other hand, Mia was Theo's daughter. There was no way she utilized the artifact in a normal way.

Mia actually spread the pollen on Rach. She made sure Rach was covered in that pollen, so when he moved, he wouldn't be able to brush everything off.

Since she could sense the pollen, she was able to track the movement of Rach, allowing her to give the perfect order and match her father's plan.

Still, she didn't know how her father was able to see Rach and calculate everything the entire time. But considering she was her father, the God of Tricksters, she brushed that thought off.

These were the reasons why the ghost's fate had been sealed from the very beginning.

When the ghost realized it, his eyes were on Mia, who actually pointed at the ghost while saying, "This is my ultimate misdirection. Gotcha!"

The mark on his chest began to shine again as a sword appeared in his hand.

Theo didn't hesitate to wave his sword. The latter released a sharp essence that ran through the ground.

The hair tried to stop it, but the sword strike actually slipped past the gap as though they could run through any terrain, no matter how small it was.

It reached the ghost's body and shot up, climbing its body and eventually reaching its face.

The ghost tried to protect its face, but without the contaminated energy, it failed to do so. The sword strike ended up slicing it into two, causing the hair to fall out.

"Uaaaa!" The ghost screamed, but its voice soon disappeared as the faces began to slide off each other.

"So, that's how it is. The author is kind enough to give me the sword that can cut anything as long as I can see the target to finish off the enemy." Theo smiled while looking at his daughter. "I thought the author was playing tricks on those featured comments since he just reused some comments, but it appeared that the author gave the readers a certain degree of power to influence the story. I wonder how much the author changed the 'censored' message I passed to Mia to match these featured comments."

Since Theo was bound earlier, he had the opportunity to read the comments and finally understood the meaning of the 'featured' comments.

"Yeah. You're bound to get messed up when playing with a trickster and a prankster. And…" Theo looked at Mia as though there was an image of when he was young and tricked the world. That smug grin of hers befitted that of a trickster. "That's my daughter over there."
