The ghost hand suddenly darted in front of Jiang Ran, and then... that was it.

It waved in mid-air for a few moments, looking slightly bewildered, before facing Jiang Ran with its palm.

No, where the hell is the fish?

Only then did Lin Changqing finally understand the key point!

The rules state that the ghost storytellers should prevent the fish from being corrupted by something eerie, not that they should protect it!

Jiang Ran fried and ate the fish beforehand. Now that the fish is gone, what's the point of the eerie thing corroding it?

Is this what they mean by "striking down my teammates so the enemy has no chance to strike"?

"Brother Jiang is awesome!"

"Everyone, please be quiet! Two people from Japan have already lost in a row, they must be pretty heartbroken... Let's go to their live stream and talk about it!"

The ghostly hand, feeling wronged, scurried into the shadows and disappeared.

"Phew—just as I expected."

Jiang Ran let out a breath. As long as the ghost storytellers did not actually break the rules, the strange creatures could not harm them. However, since such a ghostly thing had appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

On the other side, Sato Hitoshi's face was extremely ugly. It seemed that hiding the fish tank anywhere would be useless. He had to find a way to protect it!

But how difficult it is to protect the fish tank in front of the ghost hand! He's just a ghost storyteller, not a ghost hunter.

As soon as night falls, his fate will be the same as his brother's, to be devoured by a hundred ghosts!

"What a pity! I'm not going to fall here!" Sato Hiten glanced venomously at the broken pieces of the fish tank on the ground, then raised his hands. "Time Reversal!"

That's right! This is his S-rank talent: Time Reversal!

He can use this ability three times in each ghost story world. After using it, time can be reversed for a period of time, making it an invaluable life-saving skill!

Of course, there are also drawbacks. For example, if you and a ghost storyteller from another country enter the world at the same time and your progress is the same, you will inevitably fall behind after using this skill.

Therefore, if the time difference between the two sides is too large, you can basically forget about finishing the game before the other person, unless the other person dies halfway through.

The entire space distorted intermittently, and after a moment, Sato Hiten sat on the sofa, holding the perfectly intact fish tank in his arms.

He's back, but how is he going to protect the fish?

It's impossible to try and fail three times in a row, otherwise how would he survive the next few days?

The observer from the Sakura Kingdom called him a piece of trash and then used Sato Hitomi's first hint opportunity!

The prompts are very brief, so observers can only be concise.

"Kill that fish."

"Shameless! You really did try to steal my Brother Jiang's methods!"

The barrage of curses filled the screen. The observer from the Sakura Kingdom was ashen-faced. That damned Sato Hitsuji, if he weren't so useless, would he have bothered to steal the Dragon Kingdom's way of passing the level?

"That's right! As long as I kill the fish, those monsters won't be able to kill it either!" Sato Hiten laughed heartily. "The person who came up with this method is a fucking genius!"

As if venting his anger, he picked up the fish tank and smashed it on the ground. He grabbed the fish and chopped it into pieces with two swift strokes in the kitchen. Of course, he wasn't in the mood to cook, so he dumped all the fish meat into the toilet.

As he confidently walked back to the living room from the bathroom, he accidentally stepped on a piece of broken fish tank on the floor and screamed in pain after being cut!

"waste!"

At the same time, since Jiang Ran had already cracked the first rule, many countries decided to send their ghost storytellers into the fray after receiving the intelligence. Although it would be more dangerous to send them in sooner, it would be the most advantageous in terms of time!

Jiang Ran had already stood up from the sofa and walked to each room to check the doors. There were three more rooms in the apartment, but they were all locked.

Currently, the only areas he can access are the living room, kitchen, toilet, and balcony.

Rule two: You may go to the balcony, but please do not move anything there.

Jiang Ran didn't plan to go to the balcony, but that didn't stop him from taking a peek from afar.

A small key lay quietly in the center of the balcony; it must be the key to one of the rooms.

Jiang Ran wouldn't fall for such an obvious trick. Please don't move anything on the balcony, including the key. If you take it, you're doomed!

In the end, he decided to continue lying on the sofa and just let himself go.

There's no other reason than that this is only the first day, just an appetizer for the entire world of ghost stories. Many rules are still unclear, so let's wait until the next two rules are announced before making any further decisions.

The time setting indicates that it was already close to dusk when we entered the world, so night fell as well.

The other ghost story tellers were not far behind Jiang Ran in terms of time difference, some only a dozen minutes and others no more than half an hour, so they also followed closely behind into the night.

A few more minutes passed, and two more rules appeared before Jiang Ran's eyes.

If the fish has already been corrupted by the supernatural in the previous story, then what awaits the ghost storyteller here is only being devoured by a hundred ghosts!

[Rule 3: If you want to go to the bedroom, be sure to bring the fish with you.]

[Rule 4: You must be in bed after midnight and must not leave your bed until the next morning.]

Upon seeing these two rules, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Was the fish still useful? But the fish that no one present had was alive!

Since no one was confident they could save the fish's life from the ghost's hand, they all followed Jiang Ran's example and chopped the fish up.

Lin Changqing's forehead was covered in sweat, his heart was pounding, and he was staring intently at the screen!

As the rules were progressively stricter, the danger gradually became apparent, and many people died because of decisions they once thought were right!

The Japanese account started mocking again: "Let you Chinese be so smug! Now look what's happened! Our Japanese gods have time reversal; we can just do it again, but you'll be finished then~"

"Stop barking! Our Brother Jiang has SSS-level talent. Do you think any trash can come and try to scam us?"

Lin Changqing nodded in agreement. After all, Jiang Ran possessed the only SSS-level talent in the Dragon Kingdom, so perhaps even if he broke the rules, it wouldn't matter.

Only Jiang Ran knew that he had a talent for hammering things!

You might say this talent is amazing, of course it's amazing! It's even across parallel universes, isn't that amazing? The key point is, that's not what's amazing about him!

Jiang Ran stood in front of the bedroom door, not losing her composure.

The fact that neither of the two rules has an asterisk indicates that bringing the fish into the bedroom is not necessarily the correct rule, while the fourth rule is very likely to be the correct one!

Based on the experience left by its predecessor, the possibility of two rules being wrong at the same time is extremely small, especially in the first few days of the Ghost Story World, it is almost impossible.

So the next question is, how does he get into the locked bedroom?
