Chapter 203 [(*^▽^*)]
When Wang Xiangran reached the corner, he subconsciously peeked out to observe, but before he could even see what was there, he lost consciousness.
Zhang Jian and the others, who were standing still, heard a soft thud and instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see Wang Xiangran lying on the ground with his head missing.
Blood spurted continuously from the severed neck, creating a gruesome scene. Zhang Jian and the others stared in disbelief at the sight. By the time they came to their senses, the rolling head had stopped falling.
Wang Xiangran's face still held the same vivid expression as before, and he didn't even realize that he was dead. His eyes had lost their luster, and he just stared straight in their direction.
Ji Yan rubbed his arms, feeling a chill, unsure if it was because a vengeful ghost had appeared.
Zhang Jian: "Quickly get out the props! This must have been made by a vengeful ghost; it's watching us from the shadows!"
Kong Shubai and Qi Miaofan huddled together, "Where did Xue Rui and the others go? We haven't seen them since. Were they killed by the vengeful ghost? By the way, didn't Wang Xiangran say that Xue Rui and the others also went that way?"
Qi Miaofan said, "Stop talking. It's probably going to be a bad situation. Let's just focus on ourselves."
Everyone pulled out their most treasured props. It was certain that Wang Xiangran's death was caused by a vengeful ghost, but how exactly did it happen?
This vengeful ghost was able to silently ignore them, who were right in front of them, and kill Wang Xiangran directly, even severing his head.
Ji Yan and the other three stood there for a while without making a sound. Could it be that the vengeful ghost killed someone and then left quickly?
Zhang Jian: "Should we all go take a look?"
Ji Yan said, "Wang Xiangran was caught off guard before. Now that we have the tools, the vengeful ghost will definitely not find any loopholes. Go and take a look, or search the surrounding area. There should be no problem."
Of course everyone was willing, otherwise... they couldn't stay here on guard forever, could they? How could they stand it? Besides, they had all forgotten to take out the equipment for detecting evil spirits.
Everyone is holding one now, and none of them are reacting. Doesn't that prove something? It means the vengeful ghost is no longer here.
They're just scaring themselves now, but with Wang Xiangran's decapitated body still lying in front of them, they're still afraid.
He mustered his courage and walked closer to Wang Xiangran's body, trying his best to search the area with the tools, but found nothing. At this point, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
So they searched in other directions, but still found nothing; the vengeful ghost was definitely not there anymore.
Zhang Jian: "We haven't found the vengeful ghost, and we haven't seen Xue Rui and the others either. Could it be that Xue Rui and the others didn't die, but just chased the vengeful ghost to other places?"
Ji Yan: "What should we do? Where are we supposed to find Xue Rui and the others? We don't even have their contact information. Should we just call out to them?"
Kong Shubai said, "I also tend to believe that they saw the vengeful ghost and, in order to obtain richer rewards for completing the level, they abandoned us to chase after it."
Qi Miaofan: "So what do we do now? Xue Rui and his group have four people, and we only have four left on our side. Are we going to go and fight them?"
Zhang Jian shook his head. "Going against them is the most foolish idea. We should cooperate with them to deal with the evil spirits. That way, we can also get a lot of rewards for clearing the level."
Qi Miaofan: "But isn't the reward for clearing the level a fixed 5000 points?"
As long as you complete the mission and survive to the end, you will receive the completion reward.
Zhang Jian said, "Maybe there are some hidden rewards? In the past, dungeons that didn't have difficulty levels marked always had a lot of hidden good stuff, let alone this dungeon."
So, are you willing to give it a try?
They exchanged glances, watching each other's expressions, and finally agreed, since passing the level was what they wanted most.
What if I don't participate in killing the vengeful ghosts and it doesn't count as completing the game?
"Separately search?"
"Are you kidding me? Split up to search? You're probably just asking for trouble."
"That makes sense, so how about we pair up?"
"That won't work either. The four of us have to stick together. Let's go this way first."
The four of them casually left Wang Xiangran's body on the spot. His head, frozen in the moment before death, was still facing the direction they had left, and his dark, dull eyes seemed to flash with a light.
Once their figures had completely disappeared ahead and they were truly far away, Wang Xiangran's decapitated corpse was gradually enveloped by the black mist rising from the ground.
After all the mist sank back into the ground, what remained on the surface were still the dried-up bones. Unfortunately, Zhang Jian and the others were unaware of this.
Lin Leyou was with Xue Rui and the others, so she was unaware of this. At that moment, Xue Rui and the others emerged from some unknown corner and returned to their original spot.
Lin Leyou, who was with them, also saw Wang Xiangran, who had been drained of his life force.
Xue Rui frowned slightly, but he knew in advance that Gu Wenya would seek revenge on them, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and why was it just one person?
Then I thought about it and realized that one might be enough.
Zhang Jian and his group of five were the last players to survive. They managed to kill one of the other four in front of them and drain him dry. Although the other four escaped unscathed, Gu Wenya also escaped unscathed.
If Zhang Jian and his group catch them, a battle will be inevitable.
But there were no signs of a fight here, so Gu Wenya is really powerful. It seems that Gu Wenya is indeed the boss of this dungeon.
Lin Leyou also realized that the quest he came to this instance for could not involve killing the quest targets himself. So, wasn't he just here to be a background character?
Lin Yang'an's mother, Gu Wenya, is the real vengeful ghost boss. I don't know if I need to reappear. It's a bit of a waste, considering there are so many players. If I killed her, I don't know how many good items I could get.
He wouldn't mind even a little bit of points or money; who would complain about having more points or money?
Lin Leyou looked at the mummified corpse with great interest. Unlike the previous ones, which all had intact bodies, this one was about to be beheaded.
It seems that Gu Wenya is still very angry about Zhang Jian and the others throwing the body into the coffin. No, anyone would be angry, right?
Lin Leyou shook his head speechlessly. Logically speaking, Gu Wenya hates the Lin family of three the most right now, so she should have taken action against them first.
Then the player stops the evil spirit from killing people, finds the evil spirit, and kills it.
But now these players have single-handedly locked the ghost's hatred onto themselves, which is truly impressive.
This should be considered a rewrite of the normal process of this instance.
Lin Leyou floated up and indeed saw four players in the distance. Not far away, a wisp of black mist was following them, clearly looking for a weakness.
The remaining large patch of black mist was not found, and it was unknown where it had hidden.
Xue Rui, "What are you planning to do now?"
Zhou Feng said, "The vengeful ghost will come looking for us sooner or later, or it will go after Lin Zhoushan and his family. Why don't we just go to the gate of the main courtyard where Lin Zhoushan and his wife live and wait for them?"
Fang Hong: "I agree. Searching aimlessly like this won't yield any results, and the tool for locating the ghost is terrible. We don't have many points to buy a better one right now."
Xue Rui glanced at Ding Baishuang, who nodded, and then said, "In that case, let's go over there."
Zhang Jian and the others were still searching for Xue Rui and his group elsewhere in the Lin residence, unaware that Xue Rui and his three companions had already quietly arrived near the main courtyard where Lin Zhoushan was staying.
Naturally, no one went to guard the door; that would be too obvious. From a nearby location, one could see the door and hear the sounds coming from there.
If anything happens, they can go there to deal with it immediately.
Seeing that nothing had happened, Lin Leyou ran over to Zhang Jian to check. Only after he got there did he realize that the remaining four people were actually quite capable.
Although Gu Wenya had created some mist to follow them, she never expected that the props in their hands would detect the presence of the black mist at a certain time.
When Lin Leyou arrived, he saw four people besieging the wisp of black mist. The black mist seemed to be trying to escape, but it was trapped in place by something, probably an unknown prop.
Zhang Jian: "This black mist is quite tenacious; I wonder if it counts as the 'evil' of a vengeful ghost."
Lin Leyou hesitated after hearing this. Could this be considered **? If the main body is black mist, then this wisp of black mist should be **.
So, should I save her or not? This is practically Lin Yang'an's mother's dilemma; is it really okay for me to just stand by and do nothing?
But how can he help if he wants to?
Of course, there are ways to do it. For example, you can create your own "ghost wall" to trap the four players inside. Unless they have the right items, they will be trapped inside for two hours.
Lin Leyou observed that the black mist hidden in the distance seemed somewhat anxious, especially the wisp of black mist that was trapped, which began to struggle more violently.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately used his "ghost wall" skill, knowing he could use it again in two hours.
Zhang Jian and the others immediately realized they had been infected.
The four immediately stopped attacking, since the black mist had already disappeared and any further attack would be useless. They stood back to back, facing four different directions, occasionally glancing at their feet and above.
After a while, nothing happened.
Lin Leyou had no time to deal with them now. Instead, he hurried to the vicinity of the trapped black mist. Even after the artifact that trapped the black mist was no longer under its master's control, it showed no signs of disappearing.
It seems that this item needs to be deactivated by the user, or it will only disappear after the black mist dies, or perhaps it has a time limit.
