Jiang Ran's soul swapped with his parallel world self, and he arrived in a strange world of rules. Amidst rules that are hard to distinguish between true and false, and a succession of ill-inte...
"Jiang Ran has spotted me."
As Aransta was walking down the road, Arceus, who was hanging from his waist, suddenly said this.
"Jiang Ran found you, brother?" Alansta asked in surprise. "No way, you haven't transformed at all right now, and in this world, the special abilities of the strange beings are gone. How did he find you?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's his talent for exploration, or maybe it's something else. Anyway, he must have found me! But this may not necessarily be a bad thing for us."
Aransta once harbored a desire to kill Jiang Ran, after all, when he learned of his brother's death, although there was no replay, everyone agreed that Jiang Ran had killed Arceus!
As Jiang Ran's defeated opponent, and with the added factor of the blood feud over his brother's death, it's perfectly normal for Aransta to regard him as an enemy!
However, after Arceus's return and various experiences, Aransta no longer harbors the same feelings towards Jiang Ran as before. Sometimes he even wonders whether he should still consider Jiang Ran as an enemy.
Aransta walked into the parking lot below a residential building, and only then did Arceus emerge as a spirit.
"As before, this time we're not going to clear the dungeon, but to investigate the whereabouts of other gods while ensuring our survival." Arceus was unusually serious. "This is an SSS-level dungeon. Even if we both possess [Divine Miracles], we absolutely cannot let our guard down!"
"We might be able to kill one near-god, but what if there are two, three, or even more? Those guys might even get involved themselves!"
As someone who has participated in the SSS-class ghost story world, Arceus is the most qualified to speak on this matter!
"So, are we going to give up this chance to pass the level to Jiang Ran again?"
“Difficult.” Arceus shook his head. “Even for him, I don’t think he can clear this SSS-level ghost story world. Other ghost story masters are minor issues; the important thing is the dungeon itself.”
"Even if he can't pass the level, I still don't believe he'll die here. Forget it, Jiang Ran's situation isn't our concern right now. Let's not worry about him and just focus on our own business."
Ye Ye stood in the basement, next to the corpse of a strange creature.
"So there was no trace of the seal after all; was it just a trap?"
He put the wooden sword back on his back, but bumped into another person as he left the basement.
Boulder, an SSS-rank mystery teller from the Iron Tower Kingdom!
This guy is an old rival of theirs. In the last SS-level ghost story world, Burs wanted to copy Yu Cheng's talent, but was thwarted by Ye Ye. The following month, the three of them clashed again in another A-level ghost story world.
However, that time, Buls suffered a tragic fate. He copied Ye Ye's talent, and in the end, he was severely beaten up.
This has caused him to feel a slight pain in his face whenever he sees Ye Ye.
Following behind Bouls was another S-class ghost storyteller from the Iron Tower Kingdom.
"Why is there only one person? Could it be that the other person is dead?"
"Yuri isn't traveling with us, so you don't need to worry about him."
Boers didn't want to get entangled with Ye Ye any further, and Ye Ye obviously didn't want to talk to him either, but he secretly remembered the name Yuri.
It takes real courage for an SS-rank ghost storyteller to act alone.
When Ye Ye thought this way, he completely forgot that he himself was also an SS-level.
"I already know the name of the first character in the story, Ma Dapao. Speaking of which, that's quite a messy name. You can start inquiring about this person now, and don't forget to continue searching for the seal."
Jiang Ran's message came through the connection; clearly, he had handed the seal to the referee and obtained information about the first important character in the story.
"Ma Dapao?"
The benefits of Wips' ability were truly demonstrated at this moment: as long as one person obtained the information, everyone could begin searching, which greatly saved time.
Ye Ye arrived at a nearby convenience store, intending to ask the owner for information about Ma Dapao, but instead encountered a three-person team walking by.
The three-person team from the Kingdom of Never-Setting Sun, led by SSS-rank ghost storyteller Alex, happened to pass by Ye Ye from behind.
Ye Ye asked the question that had just slipped out of his mouth, and then he immediately changed some of the content.
"Boss, I'd like to inquire about a person named 'Chen Ermao'."
If the name "Ma Dapao" were to fall into the ears of the three people from the British Empire, it would be a complete leak of intelligence. Therefore, even if Ye Ye were to put the question aside for now, he would absolutely not reveal it to anyone else.
As for convincing three people that "Chen Ermao" is the name of an important character in the plot? Ye Ye didn't think they would be that stupid.
"Chen Ermao? Let me think, his home is 306 in building 13, but he shouldn't be home at this time. Are you his friend?"
Ye Ye was a little embarrassed. He had just made up a name, but he didn't expect that there was actually such a person: "That's right, I'm his friend."
Thinking about it carefully, the names of the characters in this instance are all terribly illegible, so it's not surprising that there is actually someone named Chen Ermao.
After saying that, Ye Ye left the convenience store.
"Thanks."
Alex suddenly thanked him from behind, causing Ye Ye to turn around with some confusion.
"I didn't expect your Dragon Kingdom to find the seal so quickly and obtain the name of the first character in the story. In this respect, I am ashamed of myself."
“So I really thank you.” Alex smiled and opened his arms. “Thank you for telling me his name!”
A question mark popped into Ye Ye's head. Did this idiot really think Chen Ermao was the name of an important character in the plot? No way, how could an SSS-level ghost storyteller fall for such a simple trick?
"Thank you for telling me his name is 'Ma Dapao'!"
Ye Ye subconsciously took a step back, his eyes filled with astonishment. How could this be?! How could Alex possibly guess the name Ma Dapao?!
Inferred from the name "Chen Ermao"? Nonsense! How could that be?! If it's not deduction, then there's only one possibility!
Innate ability!
Ye Ye immediately relayed the message to others via the connection!
"Ma Dapao's name has been exposed! The person in front of me is Alex, an SSS-level ghost storyteller from the British Empire. I suspect he has the ability to read minds. Everyone must be careful when you see him!"
Alex, a legendary figure in the world of ghost story tellers, has not changed his talent for who knows how long, and no one has been able to guess his talent ability!
