Chapter 391 [(*^▽^*)]
Huajiao, a little smug, smiled and said to everyone, "This item is used to limit speed. It can slow down a specific target to one-tenth of its original speed within ten minutes. Ten minutes should be enough time for us to kill this elite monster, right?"
Xue Rui: "How do I use this? What's the cooldown time?"
Sichuan peppercorns, "How...how do you use this? It's very easy to use."
He casually picked up the camera-like thing, "Just point at his figure for ten seconds, and you're good to go. Ten seconds for ten minutes, isn't that amazing? As for the cooldown time? Twenty-four hours, I guess."
Xue Rui then asked, "When this thing shines on someone, will they feel it? If they do, they will definitely try to dodge. At their current speed, if they wanted to dodge, this thing wouldn't be able to shine on them for the full ten seconds."
When Huajiao heard him say that, she sighed, "It seems like I can feel it, but it also seems like I can't. I haven't used it on myself, so I can't be 100% sure. But if I want to test it now, I'll have to wait 24 hours before I can use it again!"
Xue Rui said, "That is a problem. Well, let's have the puppet test his skills first. If he doesn't have any skills, then it will be easier to handle."
Zhou Feng: "We'll definitely need to use this prop, as for how effective it will be..."
Xue Rui suddenly thought of his invisibility card. If he stood in one place and used this thing to become invisible, he could shine his light on that elite monster for ten seconds, and even if the monster sensed something, it probably wouldn't know what was going on.
So, my invisibility card is really useful, but it's too expensive to use it once, as it costs 500 points. Using it twice would be enough for me to go to Happiness Community to visit Lin Le for several days!
Lin Leyou had been eavesdropping on their conversation, but he didn't actually use it for anything. He just silently watched over them, as if he were watching a child grow up.
Xue Rui: "Is the puppet ready? Let the puppet set off now. That elite monster came down by elevator, from the 43rd floor to the 39th floor. It's a bit far from here, so there's no need to worry about it finding its way here for now."
The puppets were all ready, and just as they were about to get up and leave, they suddenly noticed that the lights on this floor had gone out, as if there had been a power outage.
Xue Rui: "What's going on? There was no power outage the previous two nights..."
Huajiao suddenly pointed in the direction of the exit, "Someone turned off the lights over there! Why is that?"
Fang Hong: "What else could it be? The one that turned off the lights must be a ghost. Maybe it's hunting here. Look, there are a lot of people here, so there's plenty of food!"
Zhou Feng said, "In that case, let's kill an ordinary ghost first to earn some points. We need a lot of time to prepare for the elite monsters."
Xue Rui: "Okay, let's get started!"
While Zhou Feng and his group were preparing, they also released the puppets they had prepared earlier. These puppets were to go find the elite monster, while they stayed here to deal with the ordinary ghost.
The staff canteen was completely dark, with no light except for the occasional glow from cell phones.
"What on earth is going on? Hurry up and turn on the lights!"
"I can't find the light switch. I remember it being right here, so why can't I find it?"
Someone was touching the wall, but couldn't find anything. Then, the person who said they wanted to turn on the light let out a shrill scream, which stopped abruptly the next second.
The entire restaurant fell into a deathly silence, save for a very faint chewing sound, as if something was eating people. Soon everyone heard the sound of bones being crushed.
Now there's no need to make any more connections; the person who said they wanted to turn on the lights must have been eaten.
"Run...run!" someone cried out in a trembling voice, then scrambled toward the exit, only to find it locked and impossible to get out. The door simply wouldn't open!
They could even vaguely see the outside corridor through the glass door, but they just couldn't get out; the door wouldn't open, and the glass wouldn't break!
"What do we do? We can't get out, we really can't get out!"
"Help! Help! I'm dying! I'm dying!"
"Ah... my hand, my hand has been bitten! My hand is gone!"
The surroundings were chaotic, with the sounds of tables and chairs being pushed and overturned everywhere, and bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground. Xue Rui and his group could only squeeze into a corner for the time being.
They were standing next to a window, through which they could see what was happening outside. The dark fog surrounding the building was churning like boiling water.
Do you know where the ghost is?
Sichuan peppercorns: "This ghost seems to live in the shadows. It can appear anywhere at any time. Someone here lost a hand, someone over there had a foot bitten off..."
"They might appear here any second... huh?"
Before she could finish speaking, a mouth appeared below Huajiao's left foot, its gaping maw about to devour her foot. But Huajiao lifted her foot and then threw down a white-grade grenade bought for 10 points.
Unexpectedly, the ghost instinctively closed its mouth and swallowed it.
After eating it, the big mouth disappeared. She blinked innocently at her teammates, "It was just a subconscious action, and white-label grenades are cheap."
A few seconds later, an explosion suddenly came from a corner of the restaurant. They all looked in that direction and saw that the ghost had moved there in those few seconds.
Xue Rui said, "Everyone be careful. The ordinary ghosts that have survived until now seem to have become much stronger after devouring so many ordinary NPCs."
Zhou Feng said, "If ordinary ghosts could live to the tenth day, they might become as powerful as elite monsters, right? They look a bit difficult to deal with now."
Everyone wore the same glasses. These glasses were a prop that allowed them to see clearly in the dark. They weren't night vision goggles, but when they wore them, it was as if they could see clearly through a light source.
"Over there!"
After being hit by a grenade, the ghost became noticeably more agitated, and this time its large mouth was also damaged and bleeding.
Xue Rui said, "Everyone, exchange for more white-grade grenades and see if you can throw them in again."
They all tacitly moved to a different spot to see if the ghost would come looking for them again. However, the ghost only remembered the place where it had eaten the strange thing before, but did not remember who had given it to it.
After Xue Rui and his group changed locations, he reappeared here. This time, he targeted Ding Baishuang's right hand, which happened to be resting on a nearby table.
Ding Baishuang was prepared and threw her grenade in. At the same time, the others also threw their grenades in.
The monster's huge mouth actually ate it all. Perhaps realizing once again that something was wrong with the food, the huge mouth closed and remained there for two seconds before disappearing.
Xue Rui said, "This ghost's mouth can't appear in mid-air; it needs something to hold onto."
For example, if someone is standing on the ground or with their hands on a table or wall, they might lean directly against the wall out of fear, which makes them more likely to die.
Zhou Feng said, "We can't get out for now, and the puppet can't get out either. We have to kill this ghost."
Xue Rui narrowed his eyes. "In that case, let's do it as soon as possible!"
They can't afford to waste too much time dealing with the elite monsters, otherwise, before they've even dealt with the ghosts, the elite monsters might have already devoured all the flesh and blood there and come here.
Without any preparation, they were directly confronted by elite monsters, leaving them with no choice but to run away.
Even with white-grade grenades, if several explode at once, the ghost will still be severely injured, and the explosive power is quite great.
"Wow, the wall over there has collapsed. It looks like it went that way after swallowing the bomb."
Everyone was terrified after seeing the explosion, and screams filled the air, creating a lot of noise. Fortunately, the players didn't find the ghost by listening to the sounds.
"The door can be opened now!"
Just then, someone frantically pushed the door in a panic, and to everyone's surprise, it opened. Everyone heard this and saw that the door had been pushed open and that someone had already run out.
"Get out of here quickly, hurry up!"
Those squeezed at the back frantically urged those in front to hurry up and leave. Everyone reacted, and in less than ten seconds, most of the people left. Those left behind, besides the players, were the ordinary NPCs whose legs had been eaten. Most of them were crawling on the ground with their hands, leaving a bloody path in their wake.
"Don't run so fast! Wait for me! Wait for me!"
"Help me, take me with you!"
Besides Xue Rui's five-person team, there were four other people, divided into two groups of two and positioned in two different directions. Perhaps they noticed that the ghost was injured, so they decided to stay and try to steal the monster.
Sichuan peppercorns were very displeased when they saw them. "They're stealing monsters again. Should we kill them?"
Xue Rui: "Let's see if they have the ability."
"What if they really steal it? Even an ordinary ghost has two or three hundred points."
Xue Rui chuckled softly, "Do you really think a ghost could be seriously injured by a weapon like a grenade?"
Huajiao blinked. "Right, this is a ghost. The damage from the grenade is physical damage, at most a minor injury, which is no problem for a ghost."
Zhou Feng: "We were the ones who caused him the damage just now. He's not going to target us, is he?"
Xue Rui looked at him, "Uncle Feng, have the puppets been released?"
Zhou Feng said, "They've been released. They just mingled with the crowd and won't be noticed by anyone else."
The ghost here was clearly no match for them, but they were not in a hurry to kill it and leave.
