Chapter 8 - 5,13

"Sounds in the hallway?"

Not only Zhang Yuan, but Gao Ya and others were also somewhat puzzled.

They did not hear anything unusual.

However, Jiang Tong's performance just now was enough to make Zhang Yuangao believe about 80% of what he said.

Jiang Tong nodded and spoke again.

"But it was only for a moment. I heard it when I picked up the kitchen knife, so it might not be accurate."

Of course, Jiang Tong's claim of having excellent hearing is pure nonsense.

Of course he knew what else was in the corridor.

It was just a subtle way of giving a few people a heads-up.

Zhang Yuan shook his head.

"In horror game instances, you have to pay attention to every little detail."

"Let's find some weapons that we can use temporarily. Jiang Tong was right before, it's better to be prepared."

Looking at the broken stools that the group was carrying.

Its attack power is pitifully low.

...

After thoroughly searching the entire house.

Gao Ya was holding the kitchen knife that Jiang Tong had given her. Since she couldn't take it out of the dungeon anyway, Jiang Tong didn't care.

Luo Shujuan found an aluminum pole used for taking clothes, and then tied a lot of sharp, broken clothes hangers to it, making it look like a simple harpoon.

Wang Heng was holding a metal baseball bat, though it was mostly broken, but it was still better than the previous bench.

Zhang Yuan was still holding the bone knife.

Jiang Tong, on the other hand, carried a huge chainsaw and even tried swinging it a few times.

The group was quite surprised.

How can that frail body move?

In fact, over the years, Jiang Tong has become thoroughly familiar with the use of this chainsaw.

Uncle Mo from the next building knows this all too well.

Of course, besides the chainsaw, Jiang Tong also secretly brought a pack of toilet paper, which would be very useful later.

The sound of rain outside the window grew louder.

Zhang Yuan and Jiang Tong took the lead.

I quietly stepped into the dimly lit corridor.

Because of the rain, only a small portion of the corridor had decent visibility, but the other large portion, near the stairs and blocked by a partition wall, was completely dark and obscured from view.

Zhang Yuan felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He had a vague feeling that something was really hidden inside.

Jiang Tong, of course, knew what it was.

"Be careful, the commotion Jiang Tong mentioned earlier should be over there."

Zhang Yuan gave instructions to the three people behind him.

Even if there were things, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. The old apartment building had no elevator, only a staircase leading to the exit.

Therefore, the group had to venture deep into the darkness.

Jiang Tong offered a timely word of comfort to the group.

"Don't be too nervous. The rotting corpse was pulling the chainsaw in the corridor before, but it didn't alert any strange creatures. Besides, you said that the E-level dungeon is the easiest. Although the escape dungeon is more difficult than the survival dungeon, if it's a situation where you have to die, the dungeon's existence is meaningless."

All he wants now is to quickly clear the dungeon to verify if he can really get out.

However, it cannot exhibit too many abnormalities.

We can only offer some hints based on what these people have already experienced.

Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up; those words had somewhat enlightened him.

After all, it's just an E-level dungeon. If all the strange creatures you encounter are like that rotting corpse, then, just as Jiang Tong said, the dungeon loses its meaning.

The noise they made was nothing compared to the previous ear-piercing chainsaw sound.

Having figured things out, Zhang Yuan took another deep look at the newcomer, Jiang Tong.

"This guy's judgment and adaptability are among the best I've ever met. I'm afraid his growth rate will be exceptionally astonishing!"

"Jiang Tong is right. There's no need for everyone to be too nervous. Hold onto your weapons. As long as we work together, we'll definitely get out alive."

He then glanced once more at Wang Heng at the very back, the warning in his eyes unmistakable.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was completely unaware.

My mindset has subtly changed since I first entered the horror game.

It is unclear whether it was Jiang Tong's influence or Gao Ya's selflessness in the face of danger.

Now, he truly considers everyone except Wang Heng as his teammates.

Hearing Jiang Tong and Zhang Yuan's conversation.

Luo Shujuan's fingers, which had been gripping the harpoon so tightly they had turned white, relaxed slightly.

Gao Ya nodded firmly with a resolute expression.

"Set off!"

Zhang Yuan spoke in a low voice, then walked directly towards the stairwell.

Jiang Tong followed closely behind.

The chainsaw in my inventory is ready to be taken out at any time.

Although he was very skilled at using it, it was still quite tiring for him to carry it for a long time.

The five people formed a long, straight line, getting closer and closer to the stairwell, while being slowly swallowed by the darkness.

A stench even stronger than that of the rotting corpses filled the air.

Zhang Yuan frowned and stopped in his tracks.

8.BOok.com

From light into darkness.

It takes a while for the human eye to adjust before it can barely see.

Jiang Tong was no exception.

However, none of them saw that in the darkness, Jiang Tong had quietly picked up a huge chainsaw.

"It's coming."

In the darkness, Jiang Tong suddenly spoke.

The group of people immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

At the same instant, a muffled whimper came from the darkness a few meters away.

"They are animals, and more than one!"

Zhang Yuan immediately realized what was happening and warned the others, his bone knife flashing coldly.

It stabbed directly towards the unseen left front.

Just now, I vaguely saw a dark shadow swoop by there.

Wang Heng, Gao Ya, and Luo Sujuan also realized what was happening.

In the darkness, six crimson eyes, reflecting blood, appeared in an instant.

Zhang Yuan felt his bone knife sink deep into the flesh of one of the unknown creatures, and at that moment, his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness.

I saw clearly those three pairs of scarlet eyes.

They were three bio-engineered dogs!

Its muscles hung like rags, it bared its teeth and drooled foul-smelling saliva, and pounced directly at Zhang Yuan and Jiang Tong beside him.

And the bone knife in Zhang Yuan's hand.

What was inserted wasn't the bio-engineered dog at all, but a human corpse hanging in front of him!

"not good!"

Before Zhang Yuan could even draw his bone knife...

One of the bio-engineered dogs had already opened its huge, foul-smelling maw and was tearing at his thigh.

It goes without saying that if Zhang Yuan were bitten, his entire leg would be ruined, and he would also be at risk of contracting a virus!

In a critical moment.

The extremely piercing sound of a chainsaw suddenly rang out!

The bio-engineered dog that pounced on Zhang Yuan was instantly dismembered.

The human corpse that had trapped Zhang Yuan's bone knife was also torn to pieces!

Accompanying this was Jiang Tong's calm yet swift voice.

"Luo Shujuan, there's movement on your right as well. Gao Ya, help her out. Wang Heng, assist them!"

"Meow!"

But before the three of them could react...

A sharp cat meow rang in Wang Heng's ears.

Before Wang Heng could even look, he was struck squarely on the calf by a black cat that had sprung out of the darkness, and blood immediately began to flow.

Fortunately, Jiang Tong's reminder gave him some time to react.

He swung the broken metal baseball bat in his hand and smashed it down at the black cat!

Gao Ya reacted quickly. Although she wasn't as skilled with the kitchen knife as Jiang Tong, she managed to get a solid hit from Wang Heng's stick onto the mutated cat that looked similar to a biological dog but was a few sizes smaller.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gao Ya directly used the kitchen knife in her hand to cut it in half!

Directly ahead.

The piercing sound stopped abruptly.

Zhang Yuan pulled the bone knife from the corpse of a bio-engineered dog.

The chainsaw in Jiang Tong's hand was once again stained with blood.

At his feet.

Blood, chunks of flesh, and broken bones were scattered all over the ground.

Looking at this scene.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"This Jiang Tong can really operate a chainsaw, and he remains calm under pressure. He's truly a promising talent for horror games!"

"We can take good care of him. Given enough time, his growth will be absolutely terrifying!"

On the ground.

The three pairs of scarlet eyes rolled off and went dark.

Seeing that Jiang Tong was alright, Zhang Yuan looked at the people behind him and asked.

"Is everything alright?"

Hearing the sound, the group turned their gazes over.

But I saw...

Jiang Tong, standing beside Zhang Yuan, was surrounded by scattered pieces of corpses. His face was stained with blood, and he held a dripping chainsaw in his hand. He turned his head away.

He forced a smile at them.

Suddenly.

Gao Ya and the others couldn't help but take a step back.

A voice involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

The newcomer in front of me.

Is it a little...?

Is that too extreme?

Cleanliness level -20

[His mental state has severely declined!]

[immunity]

I heard the system notification, but the task was not completed.

Judging from the appearance, these bio-engineered cats and dogs don't even qualify as part of a mission.

And Jiang Tong's reminder just now.

There are actually some tricks to it.

He mentioned Luo Shujuan first.

But the cat was right next to Wang Heng's legs.

Just as he had expected, Wang Heng's calf was struck by a claw.

The viral infection hidden in the paws of that bio-engineered cat.

Jiang Tong has experienced this firsthand.

He did it on purpose.

However, Wang Heng and his group had no idea.

At this point, there were eleven hours left to escape.

"Jiang Jiangtong, we're alright. You...you're not hurt, are you?" Gao Ya's voice trembled slightly.

The guy in front of her had completely overturned her understanding of the world.

"I... my leg was scratched by that cat." Wang Heng's face was grim.

He kept squeezing out the dirty blood from the wound with his hands.

However, Zhang Yuan completely ignored it.

They neither spoke nor made any gesture.

She was quite elegant; she removed her sleeve and helped Wang Heng bandage his wound.

"I'm fine, I just got some dirt on my face and I've been feeling down. I need to wash it off. Why don't you go ahead and don't wait for me?"

After putting the chainsaw back into his inventory, Jiang Tong turned and walked directly towards the toilet at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's alright, you go ahead. I'll wait for you." Zhang Yuan's eyes were firm.

"Okay, I'll go first, I'll be right there."

Be careful!

Watching Jiang Tong walk away, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but remind him again.

The words had barely left his mouth.

He suddenly seemed a little dazed.

Is this still Zhang Yuan?

"It's okay, I didn't hear anything over there. If there's anything unusual, I'll come back immediately."

Jiang Tong turned around and spoke with a smile.

"It's so comfortable to communicate with humans!"

After Jiang Tong's figure disappeared around the corner of the public restroom.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Do you think Jiang Tong is really a newcomer?"

Luo Shujuan couldn't help but speak her mind.

She has even started to recall the scene of Jiang Tong sleeping in the morning.

"Do you think he was sleeping soundly because he didn't take this instance seriously at all?"

I think it's very likely!

Gao Ya shook her head.

"I don't think so. Although Jiang Tong is very capable, judging from her performance at the beginning, she doesn't understand some of the basic rules of the system. I estimate that she is the kind of person who is naturally suited to horror games."

"Sister Gao Ya, you said..."

When Luo Shujuan was about to ask Gao Ya, who was a few years older than her, she was about to ask her more questions.

Wang Heng interrupted her angrily.

"Alright, does it matter if Jiang Tong is a newbie or not? The important thing is that we escape the dungeon! I'm injured now, and the viral infection will kick in soon!"

"If he doesn't come back, I'm not waiting for him! Without leaving the instance, there's no cure for this virus!"

"If you want to leave, then leave. I told you, I'll wait for Jiang Tong!"

Upon hearing Wang Heng speak.

Zhang Yuan immediately walked up to him.

He still held the bone knife in his hand.

He stared directly into Wang Heng's eyes without any hesitation.

Unconsciously.

Wang Heng took two steps back.

"Sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry."

"Hey, everyone, say less," Luo Shujuan said, trying to smooth things over. Arguing between team members wouldn't do anyone any good.

"snort!"

Zhang Yuan snorted coldly and left Wang Heng's side.

He turned his gaze to the toilet where Jiang Tong had disappeared, lost in thought.

...

Jiang Tong did not immediately turn on the old faucet upon entering the restroom.

Instead, he slowly walked deeper into the women's restroom.

He came to pick up something.

There aren't many useful things in my building, but the one in this women's restroom is definitely one of them.

It was the rope filled with black mist used to kidnap Uncle Mo.

To be honest, if it weren't for being stuck in the game and getting so bored...

Jiang Tong never imagined that he would have the chance to enter the women's restroom.

They wouldn't know.

There are no urinals in the women's restroom!

He was truly shocked when he first discovered it.

The women's restroom was extremely dark.

There was also a fishy, foul smell emanating from it.

Jiang Tong didn't need to adapt to the environment or brave the darkness; he easily made his way to the fourth cubicle.

In the darkness.

A chilling sensation instantly swept over us.

No matter how many times he came, Jiang Tong would uncontrollably get goosebumps and his hair would stand on end.

It seems that an extremely terrifying creature is descending.

(8) Book. som

A striking red hue appeared in Jiang Tong's rapidly recovering vision.

The woman, dressed in a blood-red dress, had her entire body wedged into the wall in an extremely bizarre posture.

Only one stunningly beautiful face was visible.

Her face was so beautiful that it was impossible not to be captivated by it.

If it weren't for this harsh environment...

Jiang Tong found it hard not to...

Actually, we've had a few encounters...

However, the woman's head was abruptly suspended from the wall of the cubicle by a rope, with her head and body connected at an eerie angle.

It looked as if someone had deliberately stuffed her body into the wall.

But his brain is still normal.

"Help..."

The empty, melancholic tone sounded like a wind blowing back from hell.

The thorns stung Jiang Tong's eardrums.

If Zhang Yuan and Gao Ya were here.

They'll definitely scream in fright.

This woman was actually a ghost!

Looking at the state of the female ghost.

Jiang Tong shook his head.

They did not immediately loosen the black rope binding her head.

Because if that were done, Jiang Tong would be killed the instant he released the grip.

He needs to win her favor first!

"Help..."

The female ghost continued to mutter to herself, her body inside the wall trembling slightly, but the ropes binding her were shrouded in black mist, tightly binding her.

Her struggles were in vain.

"Now is not the time to come up with bold ideas!"

Jiang Tong calmed down for a moment and then squatted down.

He pulled out some toilet paper he had brought from home and asked the female ghost.

Hey little sister, do you need some tissues?

The female ghost's twisting and struggling body suddenly stiffened.

His originally cold gaze suddenly became blank.

Standing in the dark toilet, Jiang Tong felt as if a holy light was shining on him.

Two lines of clear tears involuntarily streamed down the female ghost's face.

A long time has passed.

She then whispered.

Thanks.

A clean pack of toilet paper triggered some memory from the female ghost's past life, and her impression of you improved significantly.

The most embarrassing thing about going to the toilet is not having any toilet paper and having no one to lend you any.

[Gain the favor of the toilet ghost]

Hearing the system notification, Jiang Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

Just like before.

Then Jiang Tong quickly untied the black rope that was holding the female ghost's head.

[Item Name: Hemp Rope Filled with Ghostly Aura]

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

Item Name: Hemp Rope Filled with Ghostly Aura]

[Type: Consumable Horror Item]

[Grade: D]

[Can it be taken out of the game: Yes]

[Note: The hemp rope commonly used for murder and concealing corpses has become a terrifying item due to years of exposure to the ghostly aura of a female ghost. It will have a doubled effect on ghosts with particular tastes.]

[Limit: 3/3]

At the same time, a system notification also arrived.

"Game backpack unlocked, horror game item system unlocked."

"Horror item grading: SABCDE".

Without having time to examine it closely, Jiang Tong stuffed the hemp rope directly into his backpack.

I got up and prepared to walk out of the toilet.

At this moment, the female ghost had completely emerged from the wall and was wiping the lower half of her body, which had been lifted up by her skirt.

Seeing that Jiang Tong was about to leave, he suddenly spoke up.

"etc."

Jiang Tong's steps suddenly paused as he was leaving.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through my clothes on my back.

In his previous endless cycles of reincarnation, after freeing himself from this female ghost, she would only stay silently in the cubicle wiping her body, never once calling out to him!

"Could it be that the game update caused some unknown changes?"

The rotting corpse neighbor who broke into the house before, along with the bio-engineered cats and dogs guarding the stairwell, were exactly the same as before, leading Jiang Tong to assume that everything was the same as before!

This sudden change shattered his established way of thinking!

"No! After the game update..."

Although the scenery, NPCs, and vengeful spirits are in the same state as before, new players have entered, so this world should be experiencing a butterfly effect!

Jiang Tong turned his body with difficulty.

He was facing a glamorous female ghost in the toilet that he knew all too well and had even had some special contact with a few times.

Over the past hundred years.

For the first time, he sensed danger.

If the female ghost in front of him does anything out of line, Jiang Tong will not hesitate to take out the rope again and fight her.

"Here...can you...tell me...your name?"

The female ghost stretched out her fair palm, and in her palm floated a wisp of black gas.

At the same time, his gaze towards Jiang Tong was somewhat evasive.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Jiang Tong also saw a blush on her face as she straightened it again...

At that moment, the system notification sounded at just the right time.

A seductive female ghost in the toilet has requested deeper interaction with you.

Do you accept?

[Friendly Reminder: Deep interaction with the female ghost will restore your ghostly energy and increase her affection level, but it will also significantly affect your mental state! Please choose carefully!]

The female ghost in the toilet has increased her affection for you!

[Ghostly Aura +5]

[Friendly reminder: Every choice you make in this horror game will affect how the ghosts perceive you. Cultivating good relationships with the supernatural might bring unexpected surprises.]

Jiang Tong took the black mist that was drifting from the female ghost's hand.

It instantly merged into my body.

A chill seemed to spread through his body.

Immediately following was a strange feeling of comfort.

Jiang Tong felt as if something was flowing inside his body.

"Is this what ghostly energy is?"

Open your system panel.

At this point, some of the data has changed.

[Extraordinary Individuals]

[Ghostly Aura: 5/100]

[Special Talent: Restart, consumes 5 Ghost Energy Points, can restart: return to 30 seconds ago]

"Extraordinary means beyond ordinary humans, right? As for restarting the talent, five points of ghost energy is just enough to restart for half a minute."

"Although the restart seems powerful, it only lasts for half a minute, and one's ghost energy can only be used once, so it can only be used at critical moments."

Jiang Tong seemed to be deep in thought.

At this moment, the female ghost standing in front of him was still staring at him longingly.

Jiang Tong searched his mind for the words.

"With tender affection."

Yes, that's the word.

"Recovering my ghostly aura has significantly reduced my mental state. The previous decrease in cleanliness did not affect my mental state. Why not give it a try? Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises. Anyway, this is not the first time in the past hundred years."

Although my feelings for the female ghost were not as strong as those for Miss Wang from the next building.

But if there's a benefit to be had, Jiang Tong won't stand on ceremony.

Then Jiang Tong saw the female ghost holding the tissues he had given her earlier.

"Well, it does have multiple uses."

[Should we choose to have an in-depth discussion?]

Yes!

...

The stairwell at this moment.

The group looked somewhat worried.

Fifteen minutes had passed since Jiang Tong entered the restroom.

"Why hasn't Jiang Tong come out yet!"

Wang Heng's face was even more pale than before, and a hint of gray began to appear on his face.

The system's prompts kept ringing in his ears.

You have been poisoned! Please seek treatment as soon as possible!

You have been poisoned! Please seek treatment as soon as possible!

However, after Jiang Tong went to the toilet, there was no further sound from there.

"Don't wait any longer, that guy is definitely dead! Let's hurry, we're running out of time." Wang Heng became increasingly anxious.

He couldn't imagine what he would encounter on the journey ahead.

We must save every second and get out of the community as soon as possible.

Once the dungeon is cleared, their injuries will heal, including the virus that is spreading within their bodies!

Zhang Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the direction of the restroom. He opened the system panel and watched the mission time tick by.

He ignored Wang Heng's words.

"Should we go over and take a look?"

The moment this thought crossed Zhang Yuan's mind, he immediately spoke to the group.

"I want to go and take a look!"

Upon hearing this...

Wang Heng's expression changed drastically, and he immediately refused.

"no!"

Zhang Yuan gave him a cold look.

"Go if you want to leave." After saying this, Zhang Yuan ignored Wang Heng and took out a bone knife.

They went straight to the toilet.

Gao Ya glanced at Wang Heng, said nothing, and followed Zhang Yuan's footsteps.

Luo Shujuan looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Wang Heng, I...I'll go first."

Having said that, he followed suit immediately.

"Fine! Go ahead! Haha, go die! I can beat the game myself! A bunch of idiots, risking so much for some stupid newbie who might already be dead, you're fucking stupid!"

Watching the three figures walk away without a trace of lingering affection.

Wang Heng launched into a tirade of curses.

The virus spreading in his body was becoming uncontrollable.

After cursing, he ran wildly down the dark building!

...

In the women's restroom.

The alluring female ghost collapsed to the ground.

He seemed somewhat exhausted.

Her bright red dress had slipped down to the waist.

(8) BOok.com

Her fair and alluring skin was revealed.

Her figure is absolutely top-notch.

Her almond-shaped eyes, brimming with spring water, looked at Jiang Tong.

Like a newborn kitten.

Jiang Tong pursed his lips.

He couldn't really describe the feeling he had just experienced.

However, the system's notification still excited him quite a bit.

[The alluring female ghost in the toilet has greatly increased her affection for you!]

Because the female ghost was very satisfied with your skills, she bestowed her primal power upon you.

[Obtain Ghost Totem: Bloodstained Robe (E, Upgradeable)]

[Ghostly Aura +5]

Your mental state has declined significantly, and negative emotions are about to dominate.

[immunity]

As expected, it's still immunity.

"It seems that this hundred-year cycle has honed my spirit to its limit, but this female ghost's skills are indeed very crude, only average." Jiang Tong pulled up his pants with slight dissatisfaction.

At this moment, the female ghost in the red dress slowly floated to his side.

She leaned on Jiang Tong's shoulder.

A cold wind blew through her blood-red lips.

"I am yours from now on, Master. Remember to come see me next time."

[Gain the loyalty of the alluring female ghost in the toilet]

[Unlock the teleportation marker in the current scene]

[Location marked: Women's restroom on the 4th floor of Building 4, Lijing Residential Complex. Active training dungeon +1. Added to favorites]

Just as Jiang Tong was wondering what this marked copy was...

Suddenly, voices came from outside.

"Jiang Tong, Jiang Tong, where are you?"

The female ghost clinging to Jiang Tong's shoulder suddenly blew a chilling wind, and her bright red dress seemed to come alive as she tried to rush towards the entrance of the women's restroom.

"Ahem, I'm here!"

Jiang Tong immediately grabbed the female ghost who was about to rush out to fight.

Low voice.

"My friend is outside, and I have to go first."

The ghost's long dress suddenly came to a stop.

His tone was somewhat resentful.

"Yes, Master, remember to come back and visit me."

The entrance to the dark men's restroom.

Zhang Yuan swallowed hard.

It was pitch black inside; you couldn't see anything.

He wasn't sure if Jiang Tong was still alive, and he didn't dare go in.

That chilling aura was almost tangible.

Gao Ya and the others also looked tense.

Suddenly.

"How did you get here?"

Holy crap!

"Oh my god!"

"ghost!"

Several startled shouts rang out immediately.

Zhang Yuan instantly drew his bone knife, turned around and looked behind him, his whole body on guard.

"Jiang Tong!? How did you get out of the women's restroom?"

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Tong who spoke, the group immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But why is the women's restroom right behind this guy?

"Cough cough, it's too dark to see, I had to pee and went to the wrong toilet, and I even fell down. Let me wash my hands and face."

"We were so scared! We thought something had happened to you." Gao Ya patted her chest in relief upon hearing this.

"Cough cough, Jiang Tong... your pants." Zhang Yuan, who had put away his bone knife, saw that Jiang Tong was alright and, in the dim light, noticed that Jiang Tong's pants seemed to be unbuttoned.

Cough cough, Jiang Tong... your pants." Zhang Yuan, who had put away his bone knife, saw that Jiang Tong was alright and, in the dim light, noticed that Jiang Tong's pants seemed to be unbuttoned.

Jiang Tong's face flushed slightly.

He glanced down at his pants.

Damn, I was in such a rush that I forgot to tie the rope.

"Uh, I got so nervous when you called me that I forgot." After saying that, Jiang Tong turned around and quickly tied his pants drawstring.

"Everyone has some blood on them just now. Now that Jiang Tong is alright, let's all clean ourselves up here. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if our mental state deteriorates."

"Good!"

Wash the blood off your face.

Jiang Tong received a notification from the system.

Cleanliness +25

Just as the group was washing off the filth with their backs to the toilet.

In the center of the empty space above the wall of the old-fashioned public toilet, a small head slowly emerged, its stunningly beautiful face full of confusion.

A pair of almond-shaped eyes watched Jiang Tong and Zhang Yuan's actions with great confusion.

"Humans are really strange."

"I wonder when the master will return next."

8BOOOK.com

Leave the public restroom.

There are 10 hours left in the instance.

"You mean, Wang Heng ran away on his own?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

When she came out, she explained what had just happened to Jiang Tong.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't wasted time, this wouldn't have happened..." Jiang Tong said apologetically.

Inwardly, however, he sneered: "Good riddance. I know all too well what's in the stairwell!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with you. This Wang Heng was planning to run away while he was still in the house. I've disliked him for a long time. It's good that he left. It saves me from betraying my teammates later."

Let's go downstairs!

Zhang Yuan led the way as always, with Jiang Tong close behind.

...

In the dark stairwell.

There were only light footsteps and the sound of a few people breathing.

The whole world seemed to slow down at that moment.

The long, dark staircase seemed to have no end.

Something's not right!

Suddenly, Zhang Yuan seemed to realize something, and his expression turned ugly.

Even if the group walks very slowly.

That should be the bottom by now!

So the team was immediately brought to a halt.

Jiang Tong, standing to the side, looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"

What's wrong?

Of course he knew what was going on.

It's the ghost on the third floor playing tricks!

Jiang Tong had been waiting for the others to notice something amiss.

But he can't remind him every time, or it would arouse too much suspicion.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan has a fairly strong ability to perceive things.

Zhang Yuan did not answer.

Instead, he opened his system panel, then silently took out his bone knife and said in a deep voice.

"We've been going down this staircase for ten minutes now..."

The four people stood on the dark staircase, the dim surroundings making it all the more eerie.

Zhang Yuan finally voiced his extremely dangerous guess.

We've encountered a ghost.

Gao Ya suddenly covered her mouth.

Luo Shujuan looked terrified.

Back in the initial test version, she had encountered a... ghost. The huge, pale, severed hand, hidden in the darkness, appeared out of nowhere on the player's body, and with a gentle squeeze, a vibrant life was lost.

Regardless of the attack.

None of them are likely to produce any results.

That severed hand.

It's as if they crawled back from hell.

From then on, the fear of vengeful ghosts was ingrained in Luo Shujuan's very bones.

That's an existence far beyond bizarre creatures!

"We must be trapped in a maze." Although Zhang Yuan was a little flustered, he didn't lose his composure.

However, he still looked solemn.

A maze of ghosts.

This is the most common way that vengeful ghosts harm people.

While in normal dungeons, there's ample time to solve such situations, these are escape dungeons.

Every second count.

What if we get stuck here for too long?

Even without the ghosts' intervention, the mission will fail when the time is up, at which point the dungeon's protection mechanism will disappear.

They will face the most terrifying existence.

Zhang Yuan didn't know.

What exactly is that terror?

Because no one has ever lived to say this.

"What do we do now?"

Jiang Tong feigned a hint of worry as she spoke.

Having already acquired ghostly energy, he had long since sensed where that brat ghost was.

"Jiang Tong, you're new here and don't know this, but encountering a ghost wall isn't actually that dangerous. As long as you spend time finding where the evil spirit is hiding, you can break free."

"But this is a very time-consuming task, and this time it's an escape mission, so..."

Zhang Yuan's tone was serious.

"Fine, whatever, I'll give it a try first."

As he spoke, he swung the bone knife at the stair railing next to him.

Jiang Tong was somewhat curious about Zhang Yuan's actions.

A pure white bone knife struck the armrest.

The anticipated destruction did not occur.

The handrail was like a lump of soft mud.

The sharp blade of the bone knife sank deep into the hole without any obstruction.

The metal armrest, like a resilient rubber band, quickly snapped the bone knife back.

The dents in the handrail, caused by the cuts, resembled distorted pixels, slowly returning to their original shape.

"really..."

"My bone knife is too low-grade, barely reaching E level. It was partially damaged by that rotting corpse's chainsaw, and the system showed that it could not be repaired. Otherwise, it might have caused a bit of a stir."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuan immediately shook his head.

In the midst of a maze of illusions.

Using spooky items can artificially create a sense of ghostly energy.

Through the collision of the waves, the source of the vengeful ghost can be gradually determined.

It's like throwing a pebble into water; the ripples on the surface spread out automatically when they hit an object.

My own bone knife isn't good enough.

The other people's ordinary weapons were even less effective.

"This is a big problem."

Zhang Yuan's tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness.

Gao Ya and Luo Shujuan, who were standing behind them, were somewhat skeptical and raised their weapons to attack the handrail wall.

But the effect was really not as good as Zhang Yuan's bone knife.

They couldn't even create the illusion of being trapped in a maze.

I tried it for a while.

Gao Ya finally gave up, feeling somewhat discouraged.

"It's all over, it's all over!"

Luo Shujuan was even more impatient.

8bOOk. Сом

He spoke to Zhang Yuan.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Zhang Yuan glanced at Luo Shujuan but remained silent.

Jiang Tong comforted him.

"Don't rush, Zhang Yuan. You mean only scary items can create a commotion in a ghostly maze?"

Zhang Yuan nodded at Jiang Tong.

"Is there no other way?"

There was a long pause.

Zhang Yuan sighed.

"Actually, there's another method. Many experts on horror forums have said that the duration of being trapped in a ghost wall depends on the strength of the ghost. Even if we can't break through the ghost wall, as long as we keep moving or causing damage and spend a lot of time and energy, we can still wear it down until the ghost wall ends."

"However, some tests have shown that even with ordinary weapons, it takes more than 24 hours to break through the lowest level of the 'ghost wall'!"

"We have less than 10 hours left."

"Basically...it's practically impossible."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan sat down on the stairs helplessly. He decided not to waste his energy and waited for the mission to fail so that he could see if he could escape the community.

There is still a glimmer of hope.

But it's too uncertain.

I can only blame myself for being too careless. I didn't observe carefully before entering the stairwell and got trapped in a maze.

If an anomaly is detected at the beginning, and one is forced to retreat to the stairwell.

They wouldn't have ended up in that situation.

Even basic cases of being lost in a maze can be traced.

"This damn rainy weather has perfectly buried all those signs! I wonder how Wang Heng got through it!"

Enraged, Zhang Yuan stabbed himself in the ground.

This time, the bone knife bounced back instantly without even deforming.

"Is this really an E-level escape dungeon?" At this moment, even the optimistic and kind-hearted Gao Ya felt a sense of despair.

The kitchen knife in his hand fell limply to the ground.

Leaning against the wall, lost in thought.

Luo Shujuan, however, continued to relentlessly jab the wall and handrail with a harpoon.

But all that was gained was in vain.

"So, if you use a terrifying item of a certain level to cause destruction, you can find the source of that ghost, right?"

Jiang Tong, who was beside him, asked as if he was still unwilling to give up.

Zhang Yuan nodded helplessly.

"That's true, but your chainsaw isn't a scary item, is it?"

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

That's true, but your chainsaw isn't a scary item, is it?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Tong adopted a confident expression.

In fact, he had already broken through this "ghost wall" problem countless times.

There were even many times when they found the ghost before it even appeared and gave it a good beating.

His fate was far worse than Uncle Mo's.

Jiang Tong always believed that ghosts and monsters who couldn't speak or even take on a human form didn't even deserve to be his friends.

Because it's completely useless.

They can't even be a listener.

"It's alright, I have other things."

Jiang Tong's words were like a thunderclap in their ears.

Zhang Yuan stared blankly at him.

A black, misty rope was casually pulled out of Jiang Tong's backpack.

A chilling aura immediately enveloped the group, and just looking at them made one's scalp tingle.

Anyone can see that Zhang Yuan's bone knife is nothing compared to this rope shrouded in black mist!

This

The chill was so intense that even Luo Shujuan couldn't help but shiver.

"This...this is a terrifying item!? Where did you get this?!"

"Wow, Jiang Tong, you're awesome!"

"This rope is terrifying!"

Jiang Tong slowly straightened up.

He explained while wrapping one end of the hemp rope around his hand.

"Oh, I picked this up when I went to the bathroom. It looks pretty impressive. The system says it's a scary item."

"Found...found it?"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan seemed to have a string of question marks etched on his head.

You should know that he obtained his bone knife after suffering a severe injury.

This guy!

I went to the toilet and peed.

Did you pick up a terrifying item that looked far superior to your bone knife?

Wardfa...

That's all.

Jiang Tong didn't explain much; he was in a hurry.

To the utter astonishment of the group.

Facing one of the staircases.

He lashed out hard.

This mischievous staircase ghost.

From beginning to end, it has always been under their feet!

Jiang Tong knew that location by heart, so he didn't need to figure out where the guy was.

Zhang Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't attack yet, we need to determine the ghost's approximate location first..."

But he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of whipping echoed out.

A thick black fog instantly spread.

A violent ripple.

It suddenly dispersed into the air!

The entire hallway seemed to come alive.

Suddenly, everything went black before their eyes.

It felt like returning to a grounded state.

And in front of them.

A phantom creature made of uneven steps suddenly floated before their eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuan's mouth seemed to drop to the ground.

"You...you hit him?"

"That's simple?"

Without a doubt.

This ghost.

I was forced to come out!

8BσOk． COM

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

Zhang Yuan stared blankly at everything that was happening.

He couldn't quite understand Jiang Tong's series of actions.

It seems to contradict the lessons learned by veteran players through blood and tears.

But!

Jiang Tong actually managed to force a ghost out right in front of him!

He had anticipated that Jiang Tong might be very capable and had shown some goodwill.

But I didn't expect that.

This awesomeness came so quickly!

On the stairs.

It was a phantom that seemed almost tangible, with uneven steps constantly appearing, and it had an extremely strange face and a huge mouth.

That enormous mouth even had a human leg sticking out of it!

Apart from its mouth, the rest of the ghost's body was covered with countless holes.

It's like some kind of glue that solidifies after foaming.

And after the ghost appeared, the surrounding darkness began to slowly recede.

The staircase, which was originally damp, was now exposed.

Gao Ya and Luo Shujuan, who were behind them, watched this scene unfold, wanting to say something but not daring to utter a sound.

Jiang Tong, however, did not hesitate for a moment.

He raised the hemp rope in his hand again.

Looks like they're preparing to whip the stairwell ghost again!

"Jiang Tong...that's a ghost. After breaking through the ghost wall, don't provoke it anymore. We can leave once it's gone..." Seeing Jiang Tong's hand gesture, Zhang Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Once a ghost breaks free from its maze-like state, it gains the ability to directly attack humans!

Even the lowest-ranking ghost.

That's a ghost too!

Moreover, the ghost's mouth was holding a leg.

Zhang Yuan has already identified it.

It was none other than Wang Heng, the very person who had just run away!

But Jiang Tong completely ignored Zhang Yuan.

He showed no mercy to the stairwell ghost blocking the corridor.

Because he had anticipated the brat's next move.

Moreover, there's a piece of information that needs to be said through the mouth of this staircase ghost.

"Ugh, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Big brother, I'll let you go, okay?!"

Just as the rope, emanating a terrifying black aura, was about to lash his body again, the stair ghost's uneven mouth suddenly opened.

He vomited out a corpse.

He immediately begged Jiang Tong for mercy.

This change stunned the three people beside Jiang Tong.

Zhang Yuan: "..."

elegant: "..."

Luo Shujuan: "(⊙o⊙!)"

But the rope remained suspended in the air.

The staircase ghost looked at the black rope that was growing larger and larger in its eyes. Even though it had the thought of resisting, it was unable to use its power.

Category D horror item.

He was a whole rank lower than him!

The staircase ghost immediately closed its eyes, its ghostly body trembling, bracing itself for a head-on attack.

"Ouch...why doesn't it hurt?"

It felt like a few seconds had passed.

The cold hemp rope was tightly wrapped around the blood-stained face of the stair ghost.

Jiang Tong didn't hit him again.

Instead, they tied up the staircase ghost.

Just like Uncle Mo.

"Sizzle—"

Jiang Tong pulled out the chainsaw that was making a screeching sound.

Take a step forward.

The chainsaw was already resting on the neck of the tightly bound stair ghost.

It has completely lost its ability to resist.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw a huge chainsaw coming straight at me.

Behind the chainsaw, there was a hideous man's face.

Scare people however you want.

At this moment, the ghost on the stairs looked like it was about to cry.

"B-Big brother, I was wrong, please have mercy on me! I was just very curious and wanted to tease you guys, I really didn't mean to!"

All of this happened in an instant.

By the time Zhang Yuan and the others reacted, they had already seen Jiang Tong charging forward, swinging a chainsaw.

"Brother Zhang, is that really a ghost?" Gao Ya felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but ask.

"I...I don't know either."

Zhang Yuan stammered.

Jiang Tong's actions were deeply etched into his mind, and he would never forget them in his lifetime.

At this moment.

Luo Shujuan, trembling slightly, asked a question that struck straight to the soul of the group.

"Brother Zhang, tell me, is Jiang Tong... even a human being?"

"I...I don't know either."

Zhang Yuan was numb.

⑻bσОК.Сом

Is this a ghost? Is this the kind of terrifying thing that the forum veterans were talking about? It feels like Jiang Tong is the real terror!

The ghostly figure on the stairs is a bullied neighborhood brat!

"Speak! What's your purpose in stopping us! Are you looking for death! And why are you eating our people!" Jiang Tong completely ignored the whispers of the people behind him.

My finger is on the chainsaw switch.

It was as if they were about to unleash their ghostly power at any moment, giving this staircase ghost a taste of its own magic.

"Big brother! I'm so sorry! I really didn't know this kid was one of yours, it's a misunderstanding!"

The ghost on the stairs had a distorted face; it was so scary it almost made me cry.

I felt extremely regretful.

Why did I have to go through all this trouble to come up to the third floor today?!

Damn it!

It's all that toilet ghost's fault!

She's so beautiful.

It always wants to come down and take a look!

Why did that person aim straight for his mouth?

Why did I swallow him whole?

Is human flesh really that delicious? Damn it!

"The man is already dead, what's the use of your sophistry!" Jiang Tong's face was cold and stern as he looked at the long-dead corpse of Wang Heng. He secretly increased the force of the chainsaw held to the neck of the stair ghost.

"No, I really didn't! Damn it, I'm innocent! Brother, please don't be impulsive! I can redeem myself through good deeds! I can redeem myself through good deeds!"

"Oh?" Jiang Tong's tone was drawn out.

The echoes reverberated in the hallway.

Then he turned around and spoke to Zhang Yuan and the others.

"Brother Zhang, come quick! Damn it, Wang Heng was killed by this guy! But he said he could atone for his crime with intelligence!"

Upon hearing the sound, the three of them simultaneously took a step back up the stairs.

"Brother Jiang Tong, you handle this. We won't get involved. Wang Heng is dead, so be it..."

Zhang Yuan unconsciously tightened his grip on the bone knife in his hand.

Let him get close to the vengeful ghost?

Don't even think about it!

Wang Heng is dead, so what? Lots of people die in horror games.

"Okay! I'll ask them for you!" Jiang Tong turned back with satisfaction, secretly pleased: "You ate well."

That staircase is a real rip-off.

I've eaten it myself.

The taste in this guy's mouth is quite unpleasant.

"Speak! If you tell even one lie, I'll saw your head off as a sacrifice to my brother…"

"I swear on my life, this news is absolutely true! Brother, please don't let your hands shake!"

"I see you gentlemen want to go downstairs, right? There are still a lot of disgusting bedbugs on the second and first floors. They usually avoid me when I go there, but we can't let these bedbugs disgust you gentlemen."

"So, in room 302 on the third floor, there is something that can restrain us ghosts. I don't know exactly what it is. I can only move around on the stairs of this building."

The staircase ghost spoke with righteous indignation.

He had a strong sense of urgency, as if he were willing to sacrifice his life for Jiang Tong.

He wished he could become the brother of the man in front of him.

But that person was already rotting and lying there; in a little while, they would start to stink...

"I see."

"Then what are you doing on the fourth floor today?!"

"I... to be honest, I came here to see if the female ghost in the fourth-floor restroom had come out yet. She's so beautiful, she's the goddess ghost I've always had a crush on. But when I came down, I smelled human flesh again, so..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong immediately started the chainsaw.

The piercing sound echoed throughout the corridor.

"Big brother! I'm telling the truth! Absolutely! If I'm lying, may I, the stairwell ghost, be struck by lightning and die a horrible death! Please, please don't saw me apart! Waaaaah!"

Jiang Tong's actions immediately made the staircase ghost cry out in fright.

Then Jiang Tong slowly approached the ugly face of the stair ghost.

A crimson tinge appeared on his face.

A strong ghostly aura permeated the air.

A strong ghostly aura permeated the air.

"It's a blood-stained totem?!"

The staircase ghost was terrified!

Isn't this the power of a goddess or ghost? Could it be... Holy crap!

at this time.

Jiang Tong's face, shrouded in crimson, was already close to the stair ghost's stiff ear, and he whispered.

"I'll only say this once: the fourth floor and that toilet are now off-limits in this building. Anyone who touches them will die!"

"Did you understand?"

"Thump!"

A profound sense of life and death crisis crashed over the Staircase Ghost's mind.

It could no longer withstand the pressure.

He knelt down on the ground.

"Okay! Okay! I'll never come here again in my life!"

...

Looking at Jiang Tong's back.

"Sister Gao... Sister Gao, what is Jiang Tong doing? Why does he seem to be doing it so skillfully?" Luo Shujuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Gao Ya stared blankly at the kneeling stair ghost.

He murmured.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either."

8. BOOK. SOM

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

Then...that ghost really left?"

Luo Shujuan asked Jiang Tong, who had just returned, in a trembling voice.

My gaze lingered on the bottom of the staircase, which had now returned to normal.

He's gone. He promised me.

Jiang Tong looked puzzled, as if she didn't quite understand her question.

"But this ghost is quite cute. It's not the kind of scary ghost you guys are talking about. Maybe we've encountered a good ghost."

"No, this guy ate Wang Heng! He's a bad guy!"

Jiang Tong rested his chin on his hand, seemingly conflicted.

The three of them: "..."

You're clearly the one who looks more like a ghost!

However, Wang Heng's death was indeed quite tragic.

The three could only sigh silently.

This kind of thing happens every time a horror game is released.

Who knows when it might be my turn.

"By the way, Jiang Tong, you said that ghost revealed some information, what was it about?"

"Oh, that ghost said there are still quite a few strange creatures blocking the way on the second and first floors, but there seems to be a prop in room 302 that can ward off ghosts, this one."

"So, do you think we should go get it?" Zhang Yuan's tone was full of inquiry.

He no longer considers Jiang Tong to be one of his own.

Damn it.

This guy is a psychopath! A madman! Terrifying!

Gao Ya and Luo Shujuan, standing to the side, dare not interrupt at all.

"I think it's quite necessary. Otherwise, going down layer by layer would be a waste of time, and who knows what kind of strange things might happen in this community."

Zhang Yuan nodded upon hearing this.

Then the system panel was opened.

Another 50 minutes have passed.

There are 9 hours left until the mission ends.

As Jiang Tong said, if we clean it up layer by layer.

Not only is it a waste of time, but there's also a chance of encountering something even more bizarre...

Zhang Yuan then immediately overturned his own idea.

Jiang Tong's statement about wasting time really meant it was just wasting time, and had nothing to do with encountering any other strange occurrences!

This guy is clearly the most bizarre one!

Damn it...

"I agree with Jiang Tong's idea."

Without much hesitation, Zhang Yuan directly expressed his opinion to Gao Ya and Luo Shujuan.

I agree!

I completely agree!

Without a doubt.

Jiang Tong now holds the sole authority in the team!

"Then let's go."

Jiang Tong led the way.

Zhang Yuan followed closely behind.

Jiang Tong was two steps behind.

"That… Jiang Tong."

Hearing Zhang Yuan speak behind him, Jiang Tong turned around in confusion.

Zhang Yuan's dark face held a hint of ingratiation: "If we get out, can we add each other as friends? I... I want to follow you..."

I want to add it too!

"I can too..."

Jiang Tong: "..."

In the end, I still couldn't hide my damn charm?

After agreeing to the three people's request.

Continue walking downstairs.

"There's one more chance left with the rope. Just like before, leave it for Uncle Mo. After all, the reward for the mission he carries is ghost energy, and all we need to do is kidnap him."

"Why not take it if it's free?"

"Of course, we'll have to come again next time."

Jiang Tong walked and thought.

At that moment, the five people arrived on the third-floor stairwell.

In the stairwell.

An eerie silence.

The only sound was the rain outside the apartment building.

The air was thick with increasingly heavy humidity.

Even a seasoned player like Zhang Yuan, with his strong physique, couldn't help but tighten his collar.

Jiang Tong, however, didn't seem to feel anything.

It's not that his physical fitness has improved.

Rather, it was the ghostly energy within their bodies that made them immune to this inferior and eerie environment.

At this moment, he was already extraordinary.

However, I did use a lot of ghost energy when dealing with the staircase ghost.

[Ghostly Aura: 7/100]

Restarting the talent didn't change anything; it still cost five points and returned you to where you were 30 seconds ago.

However, Jiang Tong knew the truth in his heart.

As long as you get the candle.

So, once you leave the residential area, there's only one last checkpoint left.

We arrived at the third-floor corridor.

"How about... you wait for me here?" He looked at the three people with strange expressions.

Jiang Tong couldn't help but suggest.

Because the following scenes may be somewhat violent...

"This...this isn't appropriate. Let's go with you," Gao Ya said, swallowing hard.

"I don't think it's necessary. Jiang Tong, you go ahead. If we go, we might just make things worse," Zhang Yuan shook his head and offered a different opinion.

He now deeply realized the gap between the four of them and Jiang Tong.

They are beings on completely different levels.

It's already a good situation if we don't become a burden.

Help? Not a chance.

"Okay! I'll go then."

After saying that, Jiang Tong walked straight towards room 302.

The three of them just stared at him.

No one spoke.

until...

⑧BOOK. COM

Jiang Tong stood at the door of 302 and took out a chainsaw.

The ear-piercing sound of the chainsaw rang out again.

Then, raised high... Jiang Tong burst through the door and disappeared from the sight of the three stunned people.

"I can't find the words to describe this new...newcomer."

"I second that."

No one saw a child, clutching his head, turn and run away from the far end of the corridor.

...

The room was somewhat dim.

Jiang Tong put away the chainsaw.

There is no danger here.

He skillfully turned on the light.

A blank memorial tablet immediately came into his view.

In front of the memorial tablet, there was a white candle, half-burnt.

Jiang Tong had conducted numerous investigations into room 302 over the past hundred years, but had found no leads whatsoever.

The owner of the memorial tablet is very mysterious.

Even Uncle Mo didn't know.

Jiang Tong walked to the memorial tablet.

"Excuse me, may I borrow the candle?"

Although he didn't know whose memorial tablet it was, Jiang Tong still bowed slightly before taking the candle away.

He is an upright and kind young man.

Behind them, the shattered wooden door panels lay silently in stare-a-boo.

[Item Name: Ghost-Repelling Candle (Half)]

[Type: Consumable Horror Item]

[Grade: D]

[Can it be taken out of the game: Yes]

[Note: This is an eerie candle infused with oil made from living people, brimming with resentment. Its burning can continuously repel D-level and lower-level anomalies within a small area.]

[Time Limit: Half an hour]

They're out! They're out!

Jiang Tong's figure reappeared.

Luo Shujuan immediately spoke with delight.

Jiang Tong jogged towards the group.

The chainsaw and candles have been put away.

"How is it?" Zhang Yuan asked with concern.

"Haha, what that ghost said is true, there's no danger in the room, look!"

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

Haha, what that ghost said is true, there's no danger in the room, look!"

Half a white candle appeared in Jiang Tong's hand.

A feeling of nausea that is hard to describe.

It came to mind for several people.

Of course, everyone saw the item's attributes.

"Hiss... It's actually a D-grade consumable horror item!"

"Do we really want to use it? I'm so reluctant to part with it."

"Jiang Tong, are you sure you want to use it?"

Jiang Tong nodded.

"It's fine, it's all free anyway, let's get through the mission first."

Jiang Tong couldn't wait to go out!

"Alright! Consider it a huge favor I, Zhang Yuan, owe you! I'll treat you to dinner after we leave!" Zhang Yuan straightened up and solemnly addressed Jiang Tong.

I want to invite them too!

"Me too!"

...

Who would have thought that after the white candle burned, it would emit an eerie green light?

It dispelled the dampness and darkness in the hallway.

The team was completely enveloped in a bright green light.

I went down two floors in a row.

There were no further abnormalities.

It was as if all those eerie things had fled along with the darkness that had been forced back.

"Phew! We're finally out!"

Zhang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this point, there were still 8 hours and 45 minutes left in the mission, which was more than enough time.

Zhang Yuan also understood that this was entirely Jiang Tong's fault.

At this moment, it was pouring rain outside.

The candle has only fifteen minutes left to burn!

"Hurry up!"

The green light of the candle even forced the torrential rain to stop.

It makes one marvel at the power of horror props.

The three of them followed Jiang Tong closely and quickly headed towards the entrance of the residential area. Fortunately, Building No. 4 was not far from the gate.

"What's wrong!?"

Just as I could vaguely see the entrance to the residential area.

Jiang Tong stopped in his tracks.

At this moment, several people also noticed it.

Ahead.

A figure was standing in the rain.

The man was wearing a uniform, holding a black electric baton, and his face was covered in rotting, festering skin.

It was none other than the gatekeeper!

In the sky.

Heavy rain.

As the large raindrops were about to drench the old man, they seemed to scatter in fear.

It produced the same effect as the exorcising candle that Jiang Tong had lit!

And around the gatekeeper's body.

This created a completely dry space!

Upon seeing this, the three men's hearts sank to the bottom!

Without a doubt.

This old man isn't some kind of strange creature.

It's a ghost too!

at the same time.

The half-burnt candle, having finally burned out its last wisp of green light, went out!

The heavy rain instantly submerged the four people.

⑧воО． COM

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

A bone-chilling cold swept over everyone's body.

"What should we do about Jiang Tong?!"

He looked elegant but worried.

Zhang Yuan gripped the bone knife tightly in his hand. He was just one step away from leaving and was prepared to fight to the death!

At the same time, a sinister and eerie laugh came from the approaching security guard.

Hehehe...

Jiang Tong was helpless.

"Why is it that same cheesy villainous laugh again? How boring."

These things are really weird.

All he can do is laugh and sneer.

Can't you just laugh normally?

For example, "ga ga ga" or "hee hee hee".

In comparison, the screams of the alluring female ghost were more mesmerizing.

TSK tsk tsk...

"Jiang Tong! It's coming!" Gao Ya's suppressed anxiety pulled Jiang Tong back to reality.

Zhang Yuan had already raised the bone knife in his hand.

Despite the heavy rain.

He still dared not blink.

They were terrified that in the blink of an eye, a ghost approaching from the front would attack them.

"Calm down, everyone."

"How about this!"

"Go around to the side and run straight towards the gate of the community. Once you get out of the gate, the mission is complete, and you can exit the game."

He pretended to glance at the situation.

Jiang Tong said in a deep voice.

"And what about you?" Zhang Yuan and Gao Ya realized something was off about Jiang Tonghua's words.

They asked in unison.

"I still have one more chance to use this rope, and with the chainsaw, it can buy me a lot of time..."

Jiang Tong was interrupted by Zhang Yuan and Gao Ya before he could finish speaking.

"No!"

"No! How can we let you fight such a powerful demon all by yourself!"

"Yes, Brother Jiang Tong, you've already sacrificed too much for us in this dungeon, we can't let you face the danger alone anymore!"

Luo Shujuan, holding a harpoon, silently stepped forward, her firm tone indicating that she would stand with Jiang Tong through thick and thin!

In the rain.

The gatekeeper's figure became clearer.

It also means that we are getting closer and closer to the others.

Jiang Tong's expression was cold and stern.

He scanned the faces of several people.

"Do you think what you're saying will have any effect on the current situation? Will it help fight this ghost, or what?"

"I can act without any scruples on my own, but if everyone stays behind, then this ghost will abandon its attack on me and turn to attack any one of you. To be honest, besides Brother Zhang Yuan, who else can withstand it for even a moment?"

"Not only will it not help me at all, but it will also result in a pointless sacrifice!"

Jiang Tong's words pierced everyone's ears.

Yes.

What he said is completely true.

Gao Ya unconsciously lowered her head slightly and bit her lip.

There was even some bleeding.

However, it was quickly washed away by the rain.

Zhang Yuan could only sigh inwardly. Yes, they were far too weak compared to Jiang Tong.

"Take my advice and leave. Staying here will only get in the way." With that, Jiang Tong turned around.

Looking at the gatekeeper through the rain.

His lips twitched slightly.

An inner roar.

"Damn it, let's get out of here! I don't want to actually fight this old man!"

There was a silence for a few seconds.

Zhang Yuan took a deep look at Jiang Tong's increasingly imposing back, and then shouted.

"Okay! Let's go!"

He turned and rushed directly toward the side closest to the flower bed.

Seeing this, the others gritted their teeth and followed.

"Jiang Tong! Here's your kitchen knife back, but you...you must get out of here alive!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Before leaving.

Gao Ya's eyes were already red, but her face was covered in rainwater, so it was hard to tell if she had cried or not. She couldn't bear to see this, so she shouted loudly.

Luo Shujuan whispered, "Take care."

The figures of the group quickly disappeared into the rain.

The gatekeeper was just about to make a move.

Jiang Tong took a step forward immediately.

They charged forward!

⑧bσОк. соm

...

[The escape from the bizarre Lijing Residential Complex instance has ended!]

Congratulations on surviving again!

[Instance settlement is about to take place]

Zhang Yuan paid no attention to the game's ending notification.

He just kept staring at the entrance of the residential area.

But the heavy rain obscured everything.

He couldn't see what was happening.

"Jiang Tong, what kind of person are you...?"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan felt...

I'm increasingly confused.

They are incredibly powerful, highly adaptable, and extremely selfless...

These elements come together in a player of a horror game.

Almost impossible.

But this time, Zhang Yuan truly witnessed it.

Unbeknownst to him, his thinking had already been subtly altered because of Jiang Tong.

Gao Ya stood beside Zhang Yuan.

Hands clasped together.

His face showed worry.

She waited for that figure to appear, while her heart was filled with prayer.

Luo Shujuan gripped Gao Ya's forearm tightly.

None of the three quit the game.

You need to know.

After completing a dungeon, you can indeed stay in the game.

However, the game has protection rules.

Then it becomes completely ineffective.

Who knows, something even more powerful and terrifying might appear on this street at any moment.

Moreover, the system's settlement reward was quite generous because the task was completed far ahead of schedule.

However, all three of them, without prior agreement, did not quit the game.

They are waiting for Jiang Tong to come out!

...

In the residential area.

In heavy rain.

A wisp of smoke drifted away.

"Xiao Jiang, is what you just said true?"

"Phew... It's absolutely true, Uncle Wang!" Jiang Tong exhaled a puff of smoke, leaned against the gatekeeper, and blinked.

The gatekeeper's surname is Wang, and he is indeed a ghost.

However, he is a ghost that can communicate.

Just after Zhang Yuan and the others left.

Jiang Tong rushed straight to the gatekeeper, Grandpa Wang.

Shout.

"Grandpa! I know what bad things Grandpa Zhang did behind your back!"

The black stick that the gatekeeper, Grandpa Wang, had raised high slowly came down.

"You know about the bad things that old man did?"

And that's how the two of them ended up in the current situation of smoking together.

The smoke was very faint.

It has almost no taste.

It was Grandpa Wang who handed it to Jiang Tong.

After some embellishment and adding some facts that Jiang Tong knew,

Grandpa Wang has completely trusted him.

"Damn it! That old bastard dared to make a move on my daughter, I'm going to teach him a lesson!" Jiang Tong replied affirmatively.

Grandpa Wang stubbed out his cigarette with a vengeance.

He spat!

There was a strange look in Jiang Tong's eyes.

There was a strange look in Jiang Tong's eyes.

"If Grandpa Wang knew, Miss Wang has already... no! That all happened before the game was restored! Grandpa Wang wouldn't know!"

"Xiao Jiang, you did a great job. This matter is a favor that Grandpa Wang owes you."

Just as Jiang Tong was internally roaring.

Grandpa Wang straightened up and spoke to him solemnly.

"It's nothing, Uncle Wang, it's just what a junior should do."

"Good! Good! Good! This young man has a bright future!"

"Here, this is for you. Work hard! Strive to become someone who contributes to society like me!"

Jiang Tong nodded solemnly.

I glanced at Grandpa Wang's somewhat worn security uniform.

"It will definitely take a long time to work hard!"

Leave Grandpa Wang's side.

Jiang Tong returned to the rain.

Grandpa Li, who was wandering around Building 3, was also a security guard, but he was much weaker than Grandpa Wang, the security captain.

Jiang Tong had long ago figured out the grudges and conflicts between the two.

I had previously received the ghostly energy from Grandpa Wang.

The system notification continued to sound.

[Ghostly Aura +5]

When I came out of Building 4.

Jiang Tong's ghostly aura is already recovering.

Add the current 5.

It's 13 o'clock in total.

[Ghostly Aura: 13/100]

The recovery speed is much slower than when I was with a seductive female ghost!

However, Jiang Tong's mind is no longer on this.

That was all he wanted to do.

Exit the game!

...

"That...that's Jiang Tong!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly exclaimed.

It directly blew open the elegant, tightly closed eyes!

At the same time, Luo Shujuan also jumped high.

A figure slowly walked out of the entrance of the residential area; it was none other than Jiang Tong!

But as Jiang Tong stepped out of the community gate...

The system's notification arrived as scheduled.

[The escape from the bizarre Lijing Residential Complex instance has ended!]

Congratulations on surviving again!

Please keep up the good work.

A barrage of information bombarded Jiang Tong's mind.

The option to exit the game has also been changed to a highlighted option.

Before he could take a closer look, he saw three people waiting for him at the door.

Why didn't you guys log out of the game?

Hearing Jiang Tong's question.

Gao Ya's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Luo Shujuan was even more direct.

He rushed to Jiang Tong's side, hugged him tightly, and even had the urge to bite him!

"Don't kiss me, my face is dirty." Jiang Tong leaned her head back.

She gave a fatal kiss.

"Thank goodness! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Gao Ya was overjoyed and wept.

This time, Jiang Tong saw it clearly.

It wasn't raining outside the residential area.

It felt like a completely different world from what was inside, which wasn't the case during Jiang Tong's previous cycles.

Zhang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

My heart finally settled down!

"Jiang Tong, it's so good to see you again! Luo Shujuan, what kind of behavior is this? You're strangling Jiang Tong to death!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Luo Shujuan blushed instantly.

Then he released Jiang Tong's neck.

He muttered something to Zhang Yuan.

"I like hugging Jiang Tong!"

"Haha, it's good that everyone is alright."

Her demeanor softened considerably, and she spoke with a smile.

"Alright, enough talk. Now that Jiang Tong is alright, let's retreat. The longer we stay here, the greater the chance of danger."

"good!"

"Remember to add me as a friend! Jiang Tong!"

...

Watching the three disappear.

Jiang Tong turned around and glanced at the residential area.

Then the system panel was opened.

The exit game button above is very eye-catching.

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Then, he simply closed his eyes.

[Exit game?]

[yes! ]

A wave of dizziness suddenly washed over Ajiang Tong.

It was as if someone was forcibly lifting him up and then shaking him around wildly; Jiang Tong couldn't even open his eyes.

About ten seconds passed.

The dizziness gradually subsided.

Jiang Tong suddenly opened his eyes!

dark.

A thick darkness blocked Jiang Tong's view!

A bad feeling instantly rose in Jiang Tong's heart.

"Don't play this on me, okay?"

A crimson glint appeared directly in Jiang Tong's eyes.

A dense aura of ghosts rose up.

8Book.com

The darkness before him could no longer hinder Jiang Tong in the slightest.

"Huh? What's this? A coffin lid?"

Jiang Tong was momentarily taken aback when he saw his surroundings clearly.

He was lying in a coffin!

"Shouldn't I be on the lounge chair in my rented room? What's going on?"

...

Old Li drank a bit too much tonight.

He returned to the guardhouse, drunk.

"Tsk tsk, the braised pork tonight is really good, so satisfying!" He leaned back in his chair.

Old Li glanced at the quiet forest farm, then turned on the radio.

Forest farm.

It's actually an old cemetery.

Old Li was naturally bold and lived a solitary life.

When I was a child, a fortune teller said he was cursed and destined to be alone.

Having had no good job and no family for many years, he became the caretaker of this old forest farm in his early years.

"I wonder when the federal government will finally plan for public cemeteries. They talk about it every year, but the policy never comes down. If only it were like the one in Changwen City next door, I could have a spacious and bright one too..."

Old Li was still rambling on in his drunken state.

Suddenly, a cracking sound came from outside the window.

"Um?"

The conversation abruptly stopped.

The radio next to me wasn't receiving any stations and was making a crackling noise.

But it was definitely not the sound of the wooden plank breaking that he had just heard.

"Did you hallucinate because you drank too much?" Old Li shook his head.

He didn't continue his previous complaints.

Instead, he started tuning the radio.

He is used to falling asleep while listening to TV programs.

Soon, the radio station's distinctive broadcasting voice came through the radio.

Old Li took off his coat with satisfaction, his face flushed, and lay down on the bed, drunk.

"uncle!"

Old Li squinted, looking somewhat puzzled.

Why is there a second host on tonight's show?

He was still calling him "Grandpa".

What the heck?

"Grandpa! Wake up!"

Old Li finally realized something was wrong.

He suddenly opened his eyes and got up.

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

He suddenly opened his eyes and got up.

"Holy crap! A ghost!"

A dark figure was standing outside the window, its face pressed against the glass, peering inside.

In particular, the shadowy figure's eyes had a hint of blood red.

Old Li, who was incredibly bold, had guarded the forest farm for half his life and had never encountered a ghost. At most, he had encountered some wild animals and lost villagers.

Where have I ever seen anything like this?

And just then...

It was as if I could see Old Li getting up.

The strange thing outside the window actually grinned, as if it were extremely happy.

Mr. Li could no longer hold on; his heart tightened, and he fainted.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Jiang Tong's smile froze on her face as she watched the caregiver faint.

Left with no other option, they had to forcibly break open the locked door.

His naked body squeezed right in.

"Damn, I'm freezing!"

That's right.

Jiang Tong crawled out of the coffin.

Moreover, he was not wearing any clothes.

Upon entering the house.

Jiang Tong saw the coat on the chair, picked it up and put it on.

That made me feel a bit better.

Until now.

He was still completely confused.

Why am I in a coffin?

What place is this?

Also, why did all the system panel attributes disappear after leaving the horror game, with only the backpack still open, containing the settlement items and rope?

Besides that, all that's left is the Ghost Totem and the Blood Robe, which are still usable.

However, the system still did not display anything.

Only Jiang Tong knew.

He can use it.

Similarly, the feeling of ghostly energy flowing also disappeared.

It only appears when the Blood Robe's power is used.

Of course, that feeling of loss is very unpleasant.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Tong climbed out of the coffin, he withdrew the power of the blood-stained clothes.

Walking towards the dim light, I arrived at this nursing room.

He walked over to the old man who had fainted on the bed.

Jiang Tong checked his breath with her hand.

"Thank goodness he's not dead, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

After confirming that the old man had simply fainted, Jiang Tong sat back down in his chair.

I happened to see the old man's old-fashioned flip phone on the table.

Jiang Tong picked it up without realizing it.

The screen light flickered.

"Smack!"

The phone fell to the ground.

Jiang Tong remained unmoved.

His gaze was somewhat vacant.

"April 4th, 2288 in the Federal Calendar?"

"One hundred years... ago?"

⑧boΟK·сοm

No, it's probably just a problem with the old man's phone."

Jiang Tong picked up the old-fashioned cell phone that had fallen to the ground.

This phone is so sturdy that it can even be used to crack walnuts, so minor bumps and knocks won't cause much damage.

Put the phone back on the table.

Jiang Tong got up and went to the side of the old man who had fainted.

"Huff... hiss... huff... hiss."

Clearly, he's fast asleep...

Jiang Tong covered the old man with the blanket.

Then he pulled out an old set of clothes that looked like those of a forest ranger, along with a pair of rubber shoes, from the closet.

You wouldn't know until you put them on; they fit quite well, except the shoes are a bit big.

Clearly, these are not the old man's clothes.

It could also be the old man's clothes from when he was young.

Who cares?

Jiang Tong tore off a piece of paper and used the pen on the old man's table to leave a note.

"Sir, I'm sorry to have startedled you. I accidentally wandered into the forest and got lost. I'd like to borrow a set of clothes and shoes and 100 yuan. I'll come back to thank you in person when I get home and get the money. My name is Jiang Tong."

Looking at the crooked handwriting on the note, Jiang Tong was quite satisfied with himself.

Then he took a hundred-dollar federal bill from the old man's coat pocket.

I'm getting ready to take a taxi home.

The ranger's hut behind us grew farther and farther away.

Jiang Tong's heart sank deeper and deeper.

Stepping out of the cabin, there was a pebbly path lined with pine and cypress trees on both sides, indicating that Jiang Tong was most likely on a mountain.

It wasn't until he stepped onto the solid cement ground that Jiang Tong was completely certain.

He was halfway up the mountain.

Jiang Tong sat on the guardrail of the mountain road with a sense of helplessness.

Looking into the distance.

The city lights were dim and faint, at least a dozen kilometers away from his current location.

"If we walk back, our feet will be blistered. Let's wait here for a passing car and pay someone to give us a ride."

Fortunately, it seems that heaven heard Jiang Tong's complaints.

A vehicle with its lights flashing drove up from the direction of the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Tong was about to wave when he realized something was wrong.

Why are the car's lights red and blue?

...

"Name?"

"Jiang Tong".

How old are you?

"Twenty-four."

"What is your ID number? Where do you live? How many people live in your family?"

"You mean the ID card? 34... Oh, I rented a single room in Hehai City. I have no relatives. I'm an orphan."

Tan Zheng raised his head and looked seriously at the young man sitting opposite him who was handcuffed.

"Please cooperate! If you continue to lie, even though that old man said he wouldn't hold you responsible, we will still take coercive measures against you for burglary!"

Jiang Tong was a little confused by what he was being told.

"Officer Tan, everything I said is true, not a single lie!"

"How many times have I said it! Call me Tan Zhi'an! Hah, you think I'm stupid? Where in the Federation is there any Hehai City? You say you're an orphan, fine, which welfare home are you from? If you can't tell me, then I'll..."

Seeing that the boy was still persistent, Tan Zheng laughed in exasperation and pressed him for an answer.

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Tong confessed directly.

"Qingshan Welfare Home, the director is named Liu Changsheng. He knows me. I was very naughty when I was a child and was often punished. Later, when I grew up and got a job, I would often go back to visit those children and the director."

Tan Zheng didn't speak, but he remembered the note the forest ranger had given him and what he said afterward.

"This kid, could he really be mentally ill? He doesn't seem like it. He speaks logically and clearly. He took the old man's clothes and money and even left a note saying he would return them."

He stared into Jiang Tong's eyes again.

The other party did not back down at all.

Her eyes were clear and pure.

"Wait a minute, let me check."

Tan Zheng put down his notebook.

I started searching the system.

"Jiang Tong…Qingshan Welfare Home…Liu Changsheng…"

Entering the name Jiang Tong yields dozens of results in Yuncheng's system, but none of them match the man in front of him.

Not to mention the string of numbers this kid was spouting.

8bОоK． com

Federal identity IDs have always consisted of the city's first letter, the area code, and a personal identification number.

Since the advent of horror games.

Those with extraordinary abilities also have their own unique IDs.

But no matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with what this kid is talking about.

As for Qingshan Welfare Home, it has one branch in Jingzhou, far to the north, but Jingzhou is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Yuncheng, and has nothing to do with it. The director is not named Liu Changsheng, but a middle-aged woman named Wang Yan.

Jiang Tong watched as the so-called sheriff in front of him was looking up something on the computer.

Then I made a phone call.

They asked the other party if there was a young man named Jiang Tong, 24 years old, added him as a friend, and took a picture in front of Jiang Tong.

Of course, Jiang Tong definitely posed for a photo.

Then Jiang Tong heard a voice message coming from Sheriff Tan's phone.

"Hello Tan Zhian, after our comparison, there is no such person as Jiang Tong. Qingshan Welfare Home also closed down decades ago due to funding issues. The timeline doesn't match up."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Wang Zhian."

He casually tossed his phone onto the table.

Tan Zheng leaned forward.

"Did you hear that? There's no Jiang Tong over there at all!"

"I advise you to honestly tell me your name and place of origin, otherwise I will forcibly detain you. This is your last chance."

"Even though you only stole a hundred yuan, a set of clothes and shoes, that's enough to get you convicted! Think carefully about the seriousness of the matter!"

Jiang Tong was completely speechless.

suddenly.

He remembered the time he had seen on the old man's phone before.

So he asked.

"Officer Tan... Regarding public order, I'd like to ask what the date is today?"

Tan Zheng crossed his hands under his chin, wondering what this kid was up to now.

However, apart from giving vague information, they were generally cooperative.

So he picked up his phone, glanced at it, and replied, "April 4th, 2288."

Hearing Tan Zheng's reply.

Jiang Tong suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

he.

Have we really gone back to a hundred years ago?

wrong!

Even in my original world, a hundred years ago, there was a city called Hehai and a welfare home called Qingshan Welfare Home. Even this so-called police station didn't have this name.

Is the world no longer the one I used to live in?

This damn horror game.

It has not only trapped me for a hundred years.

It even changed the whole world?

I'm so damn angry!

"Fine, you can stay here in the station. Think it over and be ready to confess before you call me! Come with me!"

Seeing Jiang Tong's blank expression, Tan Zheng lost all patience to waste any more time with him.

He stood up abruptly, grabbed Jiang Tong's arm, and headed towards the detention room.

Jiang Tong remained in a daze.

I was dragged along like that, and led into the police station.

"I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

"Hey, Captain Zhang, we're old classmates, not to mention you're now the deputy captain of the Horror Management Bureau. You come to me, Old Wang, personally to investigate someone. It's a real source of pride for you, haha."

"Hehe, it's hard to explain over the phone."

"Haha, I know all that, but I'm a little embarrassed because I didn't find anything. Don't worry, give me the portrait of that Jiang Tong tomorrow, and I'll contact the household registration offices in nearby cities and prefectures to see if there's such a person."

"That's troublesome."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Come on, you've finally come back, so tonight I'll treat my old classmate, haha."

Just as Jiang Tong was being dragged by Tan Zheng towards the detention room.

Suddenly, voices came from around the corner ahead. A portly man and a burly man walked out of the corner.

When Tan Zheng and Jiang Tong heard the contents of the conversation.

But they all stopped in their tracks without prior arrangement.

Tan Zheng suddenly turned around.

He asked Jiang Tong.

"Wang just mentioned your name? Jiang Tong?"

Jiang Tong looked completely bewildered.

"It seems... to be me."
