Chapter 395 [(*^▽^*)]

When Xue Rui's hand grasped the mud, it felt like he was holding a piece of clay. Although it was still soft, no matter how much the mud wriggled, it couldn't break free from his grasp.

He felt the texture of his hand and said, "So I managed to grab your mouth. Looks like my luck is pretty good. After all, to kill me, you'd have to bite off my head. But what a pity..."

Runes flashed on Xue Rui's wrist bracelet, then quickly transferred along his palm to the ghost stuck to the ceiling. The ghost gradually shrank under the influence of the runes, becoming a fleshy ball the size of a ping-pong ball, with an eye and a mouth on it, looking very strange.

The fleshy ball was encased in black and red runes and was now unable to do anything. After careful observation, Xue Rui controlled the runes to shrink until the fleshy ball inside emitted a sharp and piercing scream.

At this moment, Zhou Feng and the others outside the toilet also noticed something was wrong and rushed in. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the fleshy ball in Xue Rui's hand being squeezed to the extreme, constantly shrinking.

The ear-piercing screams came from inside the fleshy ball. Less than two seconds later, the screams stopped abruptly, and the fleshy ball completely disappeared from their sight.

Zhou Feng, "Captain, this is... did you just enter the space created by this ghost? We didn't find anything wrong outside, it seems..."

Xue Rui nodded. "That's right. It seems that these ordinary ghosts have also become very strong, and their skills have been greatly enhanced. They can even fool you... Remember to be careful when searching for ghosts in the future."

Everyone nodded and began searching for the next ghost. Xue Rui killed this ghost alone, so he got half of the points, and the remaining four people split them equally. Although it was a little less, it was free!

Having a team is definitely a good thing. Not only is it safer, but you can also get extra points sometimes. There are so many benefits! Huajiao felt more and more that joining this team was a great decision.

The best part is... all of these teammates are top-tier players, although I'm considered one of them myself! Haha... Huajiao thought to himself with satisfaction.

At this moment, on the floor where the staff canteen is located, although Elite Monster 05 manages to hit the stinky mouth that tries to bite him every time, each attack he launches fails to inflict much damage.

Simply knocking out a few teeth and drawing some blood is completely useless. This little injury will heal quickly for the ghost, since it definitely still has the undigested corpse of Elite Monster 03 on its side.

Elite Monster 05 felt somewhat aggrieved. Its abilities were clearly defined as frontal attacks, and combat like this had never been its forte. If 01 or 02 were allowed to come down, this monster would be able to grab and devour it in less than ten minutes!

But there's nothing he can do. He's the one here now, not 01 and 02. So what's the best option for him right now?

The best option is to defend against this ghost first, find other food to eat, and then come back to find this ghost when you are stronger, capture it and eat it in one go!

Just as he was distracted, a huge mouth suddenly appeared behind his head, its gaping maw about to swallow his large head whole. This mouth appeared out of nowhere in mid-air!

Previously, these mouths always appeared on objects and had never appeared in the air, so even the elite monster 05 was stunned when it sensed them.

Although this was very sudden and 05 hadn't expected it, he was very fast! It took him less than a second to recover and make his move. Without even turning his head, he reached out and grabbed the mouth behind him, then roared and slammed the mouth to the ground.

A muffled thud!

The muffled thud could be heard by people on the floors above and below. The terrified NPCs hid even more tightly, while the players cautiously looked around and only continued their actions after finding nothing amiss.

Xue Rui and the others discussed what had just happened. "Xue Rui, the battle won't end so easily. We don't need to go up for now. Let's continue searching for the ghosts."

As expected, after Elite Monster 05 slammed the giant mouth to the ground, it looked like it was about to disappear. However, 05 grinned maliciously, picked it up, bit it, and tore off a piece of flesh. It finished it off in a few bites and then tore off another piece of flesh. It wasn't until it tore off the fifth piece of flesh that the mouth, with only a small part left in its hand, completely disappeared. It ate all the flesh and finally showed a satisfied expression.

"Not bad, very delicious. Compared to other snacks, yours tastes much better. Please send over more; I'm looking forward to it..."

Perhaps because most of its mouth had just been swallowed, the other party became somewhat cautious. A mouth the size of a fist appeared in the corner furthest away from him. "You...eat..."

Elite Monster 05: "Yes, I want to eat you! Do you have a problem with that? In the end, this is your fate anyway. You'll either be eaten by me, or by 01 and 02, or you'll wait for your master to come down and become his appetizer."

"I...want to become...an elite...I am also...Master's...elite!"

Elite Monster 05 smiled enigmatically, "To become an elite, you must obtain your master's permission. Do you think he will agree?"

"I'll go...find him! Master...will..."

05 really doesn't understand why this ghost can't explain itself. It just said several times that going to find its master would result in being eaten, right? The master is also very hungry right now!

If they went to look for him during the day, the master might, perhaps, maybe, but at night... even the five of them didn't dare to go up to the roof to look for him.

They were afraid that their master would be very hungry and catch them to eat, which would be a loss for them.

Elite Monster 05 was really reluctant to part with such a delicious meal, but he also knew that his master was definitely watching over him. If he repeatedly stopped his master from feeding him, and then his master held him accountable, wouldn't that be even worse?

He might not even get to be eaten; he'll just be torn apart, and then his corpse will be given by his master to the other lowly ghosts in the building! He'll lose everything, both inside and out!

After careful consideration, he nodded. "Since you want to go find the master, then go ahead. The master is on the top floor. You can see the master as soon as you go to the top floor!"

Perhaps puzzled by the elite monster's swift change of attitude, this mouth was momentarily at a loss for words, but it wasn't very clever at the moment.

Although Elite Monster 05 had hit him so many times and tried to bite him a few times, it didn't hurt him at all and he recovered quickly.

Moreover, in his mind, this elite monster was a subordinate of his master. Since the monster had agreed to let him go to find his master, he was sure he could go too.

As for what he said before, such as the big boss might devour him because of hunger, he didn't remember it at all. Now all he could think about was his master!

While calling out to his master, he tried his best to hurry up to the top floor!

Upon seeing this, Lin Leyou's expression changed instantly; this thing was coming for him! However, he quickly felt relieved, as he, as the BOSS, could command all the ghosts in the building!

Before this ghost came to see him, Lin Leyou had been thinking about whether or not to devour it, because just now... he felt that he had gained another ability, which was to devour other ghosts and obtain all of their abilities.

To be honest, he was quite impressed with and liked the ghost's abilities, but... he wasn't quite sure how it devoured things. Did it just eat them directly?

If it's devoured in this way, he definitely won't agree. Let's wait for him to come up first and see how this ghost tries to find us.

Or rather, whether the people below can actually come up is another matter. In the past few days, apart from that elite monster 01, who is also the female secretary, no one else has come up.

Even this elite monster 01 only comes up during the day and can't be seen at night. It seems that it is afraid that the boss will suddenly become ferocious at night and swallow it.

Is there a way to make him our own without devouring him? Acknowledge his status as an elite monster? No way! There are only five elite monsters; this extra one is definitely out of the question.

Since that's the case... um?

Lin Leyou suddenly discovered that there was another way in the extra memories to make this ghost his own. Hehe! This method is good. It doesn't require devouring, and if possible... he could even put this ghost in his backpack and take it with him!

He smiled as he got up and slowly walked to the outside office. There were many documents on the table, but he didn't even look at them. There was no need to look at them at all. This instance was just a game of mutual hunting, and the documents were just superfluous junk. He only glanced at them when he was bored on the first day, and hadn't looked at them since.

The ghost was very excited on its way, but when it reached the middle of the 43rd and 44th floors, it gradually became a little uneasy. At this time, the words of the elite monster 05 slowly began to echo in its ears.

The master will likely devour him, because the master won't be able to go hunting for several more days, and all the ghosts that go to the master at night will become the master's food!

He hesitated here for a long time, while Lin Leyou waited up there for just as long. He knew that this ghost would definitely come up in order to become an elite monster... and an elite monster personally recognized by the big boss!

Sure enough, after Lin Leyou sat on the chair for more than half an hour, the ghost still came up!

The moment he stepped onto the 44th floor, Lin Leyou suddenly sensed the presence and exact location of the other party. A gray-black object was gradually moving inside the wall, approaching him.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like this floor was part of his body, and the ghost was like a super delicious food that had entered his body and was wafting a wonderful aroma right next to his nose!
