Chapter 101 Madness and Chaos
Inside the underground parking lot, the sound of rapid, labored breathing was particularly noticeable.
After a moment, Xu Sheng cursed the abnormality of the dungeon world in his heart.
He had only been here for about two hours when he was chased by three ghosts. Luckily, he was in good physical condition and was able to escape quickly. But even with his good physical condition, he was not made of iron and would eventually get tired.
Accustomed to a world where physical damage is the primary method of attack, Xu Sheng was completely helpless in this ghostly realm, as his weapons were mostly first-tier firearms, bullets, and rocket launchers. He tried shooting at the ghosts, but to no avail.
After he calmed down, Xu Shengcai realized where he was.
The entrance to the underground parking lot has a clear dividing line; looking out, you see bright sunlight, while inside it's pitch black and you can't see anything.
Even if a parking lot isn't well-lit, it shouldn't be this dark, right?
Xu Sheng happened to be at the entrance, and the dark parking lot made him feel a chill.
Just as he was about to leave, the darkness in the parking lot quickly spread outwards, swallowing up all the light in his sight.
Xu Sheng, who already possessed the strength of a second-tier superior, shuddered and turned to run away.
Upon reaching the parking lot exit, I suddenly crashed into a wall.
Xu Sheng was still in shock. Damn it, he would rather be targeted by cannonballs than be killed by ghosts or monsters!
He naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; he threw out a burning stick to illuminate the surroundings.
There was indeed a wall in front of me, but it wasn't the parking lot exit; it was inside the parking lot, surrounded by rows of dilapidated cars.
Xu Sheng: "!"
When did he run down? He was clearly running outside...
Looking around, all you could see were cars, except for one wall; you couldn't see the road at all.
"Damn it! Let's go for it!"
He took out a bomb, stuck it to the wall without thinking, and backed away with the remote control.
He would rather blow up the entire parking lot and kill himself than face those ghosts.
Five or six explosive charges were stuck to the wall. Xu Sheng was about to hide behind the car when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively looked back.
A festering, blood-stained, grotesque face was almost pressed against his own...
In the blink of an eye, the burning stick went out, and all vision was plunged into complete darkness once again.
"Ahhh! What funk! What funk!"
First came a burst of gunfire, the muzzle flashes briefly illuminating the surroundings, followed by the throwing of several incendiary sticks.
Xu Sheng was covered in sweat, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
His only hope was the gun in his hand, even if it couldn't harm the ghost.
The parking lot was already cold, and now he felt the icy wind seeping into his bones, making his teeth chatter.
Aside from the newbie dungeon, this was the first time he felt his legs go weak since activating his talent.
Extreme fear leads to extreme anger: "Come on! Come on! If you've got the guts, kill me!"
The surrounding chill intensified, freezing his burning anger. In the darkness, a silhouette seemed to appear—the silhouette of a person…
Several burning sticks suddenly went out, and Xu Sheng couldn't even hold onto his gun. He slowly backed away, sliding down the car body.
Fear gnawed at his heart. Players were aware of the existence of ghostly dungeons, but these dungeons were rarely encountered, even rarer than being coveted by nobles.
Why not buy better bullets? Higher-level bullets would definitely be able to damage these invisible entities.
Why not buy a few talismans and keep them? They are very effective against ghosts and monsters.
With his last bit of strength, Xu Sheng pressed the remote control in his hand.
boom--!

Rong Yi arrived at the last stop, which was already past 5 p.m.
The train station was completely deserted. There were no passengers or even any staff members inside; ticket purchases and checks were all done by machines.
Rong Yi scanned his ticket and entered smoothly, then looked for the waiting platform according to the information on his ticket.
The only sound in the modern building was her footsteps; all the shops were open, but there were no cashiers.
Rong Yi found the waiting area and sat down.
Now we finally have some time. As long as we take the high-speed train, we can reach Wei Yanqing's city in just over ten minutes.
Rong Yi opened the app for this world, and the first thing that caught his eye was a bloody poster that read, "May the XX Ghost King live forever."
"..."
I am speechless.
The app has trending topics, and these are quite interesting. From official sources to celebrities, from internet personalities to ordinary citizens, the posts are all incredibly sensational and gory.
This world has gone mad, inside and out.
After browsing through the information, I found nothing useful. The search results were even more shocking.
Forget it, you can't expect a crazy world to behave normally.
Rong Yi put away her phone. Fortunately, she didn't have to wait more than a few minutes before an announcement came over the loudspeaker that her train was about to arrive.
Unsurprisingly, she was the only one who boarded the vehicle, and there was no one else inside.
Even though all the seats were empty, Rong Yi still found his seat according to the information on his ticket.
Sitting upright with her arms crossed, she sent a message to her teammate: "How are things on your end?"
A few seconds later, a reply came: 【Excellent】
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow. Although it was only three words, it was clear that Wei Yanqing was very satisfied with this world.
The car started, and Rong Yi rested his chin on his right hand, waiting idly for more than ten minutes to pass.
However, how could this crazy world let her go in such a bizarre environment?
After a few minutes of blank staring, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply. Rong Yi didn't feel cold, but he could feel the temperature change on his exposed skin.
She withdrew her hand to see what kind of demons or monsters they were.
The lights inside the carriage changed from bright to dim yellow, flickered a few times, and then went out.
During this time, Rong Yi leaned back in his chair and didn't move.
About five seconds later, it seemed that the desired effect had not been achieved, and the lights came on again.
This time, Rong Yi was standing in front of a man who was neatly dressed, tall and well-built, and asked while holding a phone, "Can we exchange contact information?"
Her voice is magnetic and captivating.
If we ignore the fact that its head rotated 180 degrees.
The skin on its neck was stretched to its limit and cracked, revealing the broken tendons and bones. Rong Yi could only see the back of its head.
"No, get out."
"Hehehe—" it chuckled foolishly.
"Can I have your contact information? Hahahaha!" The husky voice disappeared, and this time it was sharp and unpleasant.
Rong Yi slapped the armrest of the seat, and it moved, swinging wildly as it ran over.
Rong Yi stood up and kicked hard, sending the male ghost flying without any suspense.
She leaned forward, stepping on the male ghost's chest to stop it from getting up. "You guys are so annoying. Would it kill you to just attack me?"
Always doing those unnecessary actions.
"You're good at playing tricks, but when it comes to a real fight, even a weakling would be stronger than you!"
After saying that, Rong Yi stomped on his head and smashed it.
Like the glamorous female ghost, the male ghost exploded like smoke, and the dim yellow light returned to normal brightness.
Rong Yi picked up the ghost crystal, which was also of the first rank.
She packed her things and sat down again, taking deep breaths to remind herself not to get angry. She hadn't found Wei Yanqing yet, and if she really went crazy and ran to an even farther place, things would be terrible.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the station without incident.
There was no one else here, only her, the passenger, walking in the empty station.
