Chapter 24: Feeding Apartment Building (4) “Since U knows I’m coming…
Zeng Fei was also worried that the fact that he was a player of the ghost story game would be discovered. He didn't want to cause unnecessary worries. What's more, during the time when he entered the game, his adoptive parents had passed away in an accident, and Shi Yu had been in a very low mood.
During that time, Fei was still a junior in college and had not yet graduated. The local university was not far away, and fortunately he had the help of relatives. He would basically come back to take care of Shi Yu when he had no classes.
Since he spent most of his time at school during the school term, Fei only had to avoid other people when logging into the ghost story game. The trouble came during the internship months, when he lived at home and had to make sure Shi Yu didn't suspect anything before entering the dungeon.
Just like now, every time he comes to solve a ghost story, he has to make up all kinds of excuses in advance.
"Do you think he'll believe a stranger or me?" Fei wasn't worried about them revealing his identity to Shi Yu through a message. Xiaoyu would simply delete the message and block them. "Don't worry, I'll stay hidden."
The paintings on the corridor walls became mottled, and the melted paint made it almost unrecognizable what was originally painted on them. They blended into the walls with peeling paint. Fei stepped back to avoid the sharp attack, and several playing cards pierced the ground under his feet.
Fei looked at the equally blurry doors. The successfully raised ghost story was about to be born in the true sense.
Under the suppression of the rules, the ghost stories that were divided and needed to be nurtured hid in the shrine. They would eventually gather together and be re-integrated to be called a complete consciousness. As an S-level ghost story, it would appear on the rooftop of the apartment building.
Fei retreated to the end of the corridor and stood in front of the French window, a remarkably hard playing card tucked between his fingers. "The residents have been brainwashed, but you have no control over it. And since U knew I was coming, you shouldn't be the only one."
"After all, it's a rare, high-risk ghost story that can transform as long as the offerings are completed, and the final stage can reach S-rank."
The next moment, the magician raised his gun and pointed it at him. Fei calmly placed the card against the floor-to-ceiling window. Countless cracks suddenly spread across the glass. Amidst the sharp shattering sound, the gunshot was deafening.
The overturned glass fragments were like a heavy dark cloud, with each corner reflecting a sharp luster. The tall figure disappeared before being completely wrapped up, leaving only a poker card that was not damaged at all.
The clown on the card is playful and sarcastic.
Fei, who didn't intend to get entangled with many people, used props to reach the rooftop. The monster's huge body was entrenched on the top floor, like a ball of flesh and blood, leaving almost no place to stand on the platform.
Its appearance can be described as irregular and chaotic, and the direction of every inch of its lines is unexpected. The huge eyeballs are adorned with blurred blood clots and veins, and with the appearance of Fei, it reveals a greedy desire to eat.
The residents are not only its providers, but also its final sacrifice to fill its stomach.
"Good evening, sir from the Pyramid."
The deep and gorgeous voice was as bewitching as the night tonight, but unfortunately the ability to control people to obey could not affect Fei. The man who stepped on the monster's head was wearing a dark brown coat, which was casual and elegant, and made his already superior body proportions even more outstanding.
He wore a perfect smile, even when the previously obedient monster became restless. He showed no displeasure. His boots crushed the flesh and blood, and he said casually, "Quiet."
The monster didn't dare to move for a moment, but just rolled its eyes and stared at Fei in the open space not far away.
The control has been completed, Fei's eyes fell on the man. The member named "Counselor" is said to be a psychological counselor in reality, but who could have thought that once the consultation is over, this psychological counselor will brutally kill the visitor.
Under the protection of the U organization and the help of game exchanges, not only him, but also the U criminals who were at large have never been caught.
Fei thought that this strange story probably could not be left to the Operations Department for containment, so the only option was to kill him.
It is an S-level ghost story made up of countless flesh and blood. The rating in the final stage is indeed high-risk and difficult to deal with, but it was only A-level at the beginning, not pure, and in fact it is not really unkillable as the barrage said.
Something seemed to be climbing up the tip of his shoe, but it was already being infiltrated and controlled. Fei grabbed the other chain that was trying to tighten around his neck, and his deep blue eyes turned to the people behind him. "It's a bit unfair to use the majority to bully the minority."
"Strange, you'd care about that?" The counselor jumped onto the empty space. This was the only part of the rooftop not occupied by monsters. He stood at a distance, not too far away. "It seems I remembered it wrongly. You weren't the one who teamed up with Que to plot against me."
Fei realized that this person was still holding a grudge as always: "...Tsk."
"Stop talking nonsense." The magician on the other end spoke coldly, guiding the chain to attack the opponent again. "Isn't it under control? Take him away first."
When Fei shifted his gaze and locked onto the distorted monster, the monster, which had been extremely arrogant just now, suddenly shrank back and waved its tentacles made of flesh and blood towards him uneasily.
The shadow fell down on his head, and the monster's tentacles blocked half of the sky in his field of vision, making the humans who were standing still look small and fragile. Fei's expression did not become panicked because of this, but he just crushed the space-transfer props with his hands.
They want to leave, but it's not that easy.
"I'll lend you something. Don't be stingy." Fei deliberately dragged out a lazy tone as if he was teasing him. The chains wrapped around his calves and arms. He held them with his backhand. The silver-white color was quickly invaded by pure black, and it quickly retreated and climbed up the monster's body.
The infinitely extending chains restrained the monster's movements. When they were tightened, the flesh and blood turned into fluid and quickly drilled out from the gaps.
The chains that penetrated every structure were completely used by him, which of course also included transformation. The chains wandering along the edge of the rooftop became flat and stretched into a new plane, forming a closed three-dimensional space that left no room for chance.
【I am coming. 】
Fei was busy dodging the magician's pursuit when a deep, unmistakable voice suddenly emerged from the communication channel. Private communication, established at the level of consciousness, was convenient and quick enough. "I have bad news for you. Be prepared."
Fei: […What happened?]
Chen Que: [Xie Jianshan also followed.]
Fei: [Didn’t I tell you to stop him? Why didn’t you?]
Chen Que: [I can't stop them! I can't stop them at all! I trapped the guys from the Executive Department with a space tool, but Xie Jianshan has an insanely good intuition, so I couldn't catch him no matter what. And he ran straight to the rooftop.]
Shen Que: [But there is good news. He came up the stairs. He doesn't have a key, so breaking into the door will definitely take time.]
"It's quite lively, with so many people."
This sentence was not uttered on the communication channel.
Fei tilted his head to look at Chen Que who appeared beside him at some point, and he said casually, "It's much later than I thought."
"It took some time. It's not easy to delay with so many people in the executive department, especially that troublesome Xie Jianshan." Shen Que was quite glad that he had bought the voice changer prop before. The clip-style voice changer was pinned on his collar.
His deep, clear, and casual voice was adjusted to sound youthful and clean, and coupled with his more casual and youthful outfit today, he easily blurred the concept of his age. Others would only think that he was an adult student with an extremely outstanding temperament.
Fei put his hand in front of him and signaled others not to go over. He said, "Go deal with the magician. The counselor's ability is very troublesome. Stay away and don't let him be dragged over."
The consultant can control everything through language, whether it is human, ghost or object, as long as it exists, he can control it by giving orders. This type of skill is ineffective on Fei, but Shen is different.
Fei Ke doesn't want his teammates to betray him, otherwise he will be alone against three of them. Is that reasonable?
"Bang!" The sudden loud noise of the door being smashed made Fei almost doubt his life, but it was obvious that he was not the only one. Several people present were a little confused and looked over subconsciously.
It was under such circumstances that Xie Jianshan appeared.
Facing all kinds of gazes, Xie Jianshan just thought that his arrival was too abrupt, but never thought that it was because of the door that was smashed open behind him, and that this behavior came from an ordinary person whose physical fitness had not been enhanced by the game.
Even though this ordinary person was a member of the Operations Department who had experienced life and death, it was enough to silence all the players present for a short time.
Xie Jianshan knew nothing about this. His sharp gaze swept over the two members of the opposing organization and the man with whose face was covered tightly, with whom he had just fought, and finally fell accurately on Fei. This time, he was not wearing a mask.
The facial features revealed are three-dimensional and deep, which is consistent with Xie Jianshan's impression of the mixed-race appearance of a strong-skinned person, especially the eyebrows and eyes, which unscrupulously present a charm that makes people lose their minds. The lines outlining the face are particularly neat and the connection is gentle.
That kind of handsomeness is not only flamboyant, but his aggressive eyes reveal arrogance, and the two feelings of coldness and calmness are extremely well matched in him.
It is an existence that makes people dread, fear, and yearn for it extremely.
"I don't recommend you interfere, Captain Xie." Fei was the first to speak up and dissuade them. The situation on the field was obvious, and it was a good opportunity to settle some personal grudges. There was no need to involve Xie Jianshan, a non-player. "I don't have the extra energy to care about you."
Xie Jianshan said nothing. He glanced at the person beside Fei. Shen Ke could sense his death stare and greeted him cheerfully without any self-awareness. "Good evening, Captain Xie. How about you go to a nearby cafe and sit down?"
Xie Jianshan: “…”
He didn't expect that this person was actually Que, and he didn't expect that Que's personality would be so... different from what he had imagined before.
"Now that we're here, it's not a good idea to let them go." The counselor's eyes lit up with interest, and he took a step forward. "I don't mind Captain Xie getting involved."
The consultant smiled and looked at the player from the same organization who could barely be called a teammate. He asked with a firm tone, as if casually saying, "Are you right?"
The magician didn't reply, knowing that the strange story of the shrine would come tonight. Fei was also here. He was not wearing glasses for a rare occasion. His indifferent eyes shone with the cold light of a knife. "Of course."
"We welcome you all the same."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: The next chapter will start with a barrage! It will be a little bit too much.
Among the five people present, except Fei himself, two are hypocritical supporters who appear to be insulting and pursuing each other, one is a close friend who switches between being a toxic fan and a close friend, and the other is obsessed with getting someone to join the gang. Brother Fei, do you have any idea?
