Pandora's Box has randomly refreshed your inventory with the following item: Wind Charm.

Jiang Ran had used this before, and it was considered a pretty useful life-saving item. Jiang Ran directly handed the wind talisman in his hand to Gwen.

He himself is protected by the Mountain God Jade, which makes him immune to one fatal injury. In order to prevent other ghost storytellers from using the talent Yin Gwen, it is better to leave this thing to Gwen.

Even if Jiang Ran triggered the Mountain God Jade, Gwen could simply return the Wind Talisman to Jiang Ran.

I just don't know exactly how long the interval is between Pandora's Box refreshes. If the time is short enough, even if nothing else refreshes, just the wind runes will keep refreshing and ensure that he won't die.

"It seems we're not actually in the village right now. We'll have to walk a bit further to find other clues."

Jiang Ran wasn't too worried about Yu Cheng. Although she was just a seemingly weak girl, she possessed SS-level talent and ample experience, which was enough for her to stand on her own.

The fact that all the ghost storytellers were scattered was not a bad thing for Jiang Ran, as it meant that the other ghost storytellers could not meet up so quickly and then unite to deal with him.

Jiang Ran followed the somewhat broken stone path, amidst the hoarse cawing of crows, until she reached the village entrance.

The village was originally called Fenghuai Village, but due to years of disrepair, the left half of the signboard broke off and fell to the ground, leaving only the right half.

Ghost village!

Suddenly, Jiang Ran looked down and felt something grab his ankle, but when he looked, he didn't see anything. He also moved his ankle without any obstruction.

Jiang Ran isn't the protagonist of a movie; she can't just dismiss herself with a casual "It's probably just a hallucination." There might be something unseen around her.

"You're making me feel a little creepy."

"Aren't you a ghost? Even ghosts are afraid of ghosts?"

"It's different, completely different!" Gwen said, hands on her hips. "Don't you humans always say that people can scare each other to death? A ghost can scare another ghost to death too!"

The buildings in the village looked very dilapidated, and there wasn't a single person in sight. Apart from the cawing of crows, there seemed to be no other sounds.

There was a well in the center of the houses. It was obvious that food was hard to find in this world, and with no idea how long they would have to stay, finding a water source would ensure their survival.

Jiang Ran looked into the well. The well wasn't very big, just big enough to fit one person. A corpse was floating vertically inside the well, its head turned upwards, its eyes wide open and white. When Jiang Ran looked down, it was as if he was staring at the corpse!

"Let's get water from another well."

"What's wrong?" Gwen also leaned closer and looked into the well. "Is there something wrong with the well water?"

Jiang Ran turned his head again, and the corpse that was originally in the well had inexplicably disappeared. The well water looked clear and transparent, without any problems.

"This is really weird..."

In any case, Jiang Ran has absolutely no interest in drinking well water now.

Yamaue did not participate in this ghost story world.

Sakura originally wanted to send him out again, but they sensed an unstable element in Yamaue, a signal that was out of control!

So they wanted to use this strange world to make Yamagami and Jiang Ran completely opposed, regardless of who killed whom. But Yamagami directly rejected the proposal and went to the lower-level A-class world.

The International Association of Ghost Stories has a fundamental principle: regardless of the country, a ghost storyteller can refuse to continuously enter worlds of S rank or higher. If a country insists on going against the ghost storyteller's wishes, the International Association of Ghost Stories will intervene forcefully!

Therefore, many skilled ghost story writers will challenge the S-rank world of the current month when the next month's world is SS-rank or higher, which can be considered a way of avoiding the toughest challenge.

Not going up the mountain, Sakura was in a dilemma. In the end, she could only send two S-rank ghost story writers to the world, not to clear the game, but to get more rewards for a few more days.

He Shui Sai Ya was one of them.

He entered the world from outside the village, which was surprisingly large, probably comparable to a small town, and definitely not a small village.

Therefore, there must be more than one gate to the village, and He Shui Sai Ya's current location is still quite a distance from Jiang Ran's.

As soon as He Shui Sai Ya entered the village, she felt a chill run down her spine. When she turned around, she saw a corpse hanging behind the gate. Long hair covered her face, and her exposed skin was deathly pale!

"This is like giving me a hard time the moment I entered the village..."

He Shuisai swallowed hard, remembering the rule of staying away from corpses. He stared intently at the body as he slowly backed away.

Then, something grabbed his ankle!

Damn it!

At this moment, He Shuisaiya panicked. The rules told him to stay away from the corpse, but something grabbed him. He felt more and more that the corpse was about to jump down and bite his neck!

"What the hell?!"

He Shuisai suppressed his fear and immediately looked down, but he saw nothing. Instead, his body regained its mobility.

"No, we have to get out of here right now!"

Just as he was about to turn back to check if the corpse was alright, it mysteriously vanished!

He Shuisaiya immediately rushed towards the village like a madman, fearing that something terrible would happen if he was a step too slow. He had to get out of this horrible place as soon as possible!

"not good!"

However, in the live stream, everyone noticed a dark figure catching up at a speed that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye!

Cymbals!

The sharp blade sliced ​​across her neck, and He Shui Sai Ya's head flew high into the air!

"What was that just now?"

"Is that the corpse that was hanging on the door before? It doesn't quite look like it?"

"What do you mean 'doesn't look quite like it'? Dude, did you even see it clearly? It's just a black blob! Based on my guess, this is definitely that corpse from before!"

"Could it be that this guy kept staring at her and made her shy, so he wants to take her to the underworld for eternity?"

The scene shifts again, and He Shui Sai Ya coughs heavily. He is currently in a small room.

His talent allows him to resurrect three times at random locations in a single world. This ability also appeared in a predecessor from their Sakura Kingdom. After all, there are so many ghost story masters, it's perfectly normal for the same ability to appear.

"Wait... this is the toilet?! Why did I randomly respawn here again? No, why did I say 'again'?"
