Chapter 503 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou was very envious of this talent, but the talent of sealing was also good. It was like an upgraded version of the ghost wall. After all, you can get out of the ghost wall by using props and other things, but this sealing was different. Once it was sealed, you had to kill the vengeful ghost that had set off the sealing, otherwise you could forget about getting out.
It was getting dark, with a sliver of the setting sun on the horizon. Night was about to fall. He stood atop the mountain peak, looking down at the village surrounded by mountains on three sides. This was Haitang Village.
The population of Haitang Village is 508. This mission has no time limit, but it has nothing to do with the player. As the vengeful ghost BOSS, he only needs to kill all the villagers to complete the mission.
But he soon changed his mind, because at that moment, ten small wooden houses appeared out of thin air on the edge of the village, and ten players appeared in each house, for a total of one hundred people.
At that moment, Fu Qingqiu, the vengeful ghost, also gained some new memories: there were a total of 608 villagers in Haitang Village! These newly appeared players were also considered villagers.
Lin Leyou touched his youthful face, which was nothing like his original self, smiled slightly, and then spread his arms. As the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon, Haitang Village was plunged into darkness and shrouded by a black curtain of sky. From then on... unless the vengeful ghost Fu Qingqiu was killed, none of the villagers could leave the village.
Lin Leyou looked at his masterpiece and winked mischievously. He looked at his semi-transparent body and said, "It's time to go find Xiao Rui. I wonder where he is now."
He touched the black jade ring on his finger. "Xiao Rui?"
Xue Rui quickly replied, "I'm here. Where are you now?"
Lin Leyou looked at him. "I'm on the mountaintop. If your eyesight is good, you should be able to see me if you look up. Oh, by the way, I'm a vengeful ghost now. What are you?"
After a while, Xue Rui said, "I saw you, and I'm coming to find you now."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. He really saw him? Logically speaking, living people shouldn't be able to see him unless he deliberately reveals himself.
Of course, some players can also see themselves using items. Did Xue Rui use an item to see them?
Lin Leyou soon found out the reason. He saw a completely unfamiliar, yet very familiar, semi-transparent figure appear in his field of vision.
The other person quickly approached, and Lin Leyou stared blankly for a few seconds. "Xiao Rui?"
Xue Rui waved his hand, revealing a matching black jade ring on his finger. Lin Leyou then laughed and rushed over to hug him tightly, exclaiming, "How come you're a vengeful ghost too?"
"Oh, right, you're on my side. I'm a vengeful ghost, so you definitely can't be a villager."
Xue Rui nodded, "Yes, I am also a vengeful ghost. I was offered to an evil god by the villagers ten years ago."
Lin Leyou: "Then I'll be ten years from now. By the way, is your mission the same as mine?"
Xue Rui: "Kill all the villagers, reward 800,000 points; fail, deduct 400,000 points."
Lin Leyou let out a long sigh of relief, "I feel that a hundred players is really a lot, after all, there are only two of us ghosts. I guess there was originally only one ghost for fifty players."
Xue Rui said, "Fifty players are indeed a bit of a stretch to deal with two vengeful ghosts. Doubling the number would be about right."
Lin Leyou pulled him to sit atop the mountain peak. "By the way, what are your talents?"
Xue Rui: "Talent Tear allows you to ignore all restrictions and tear apart any object; cooldown is 24 hours. Talent Possession allows you to freely choose a living person to possess for five minutes; cooldown is 24 hours."
Lin Leyou smirked, "Not bad. You can possess someone and then use their body to kill people. You can kill a lot of people in five minutes."
Xue Rui said, "If it's used too much, players will become wary, and villagers will also become wary."
Lin Leyou said, "It's alright. Even if they're on guard, they'll only kill the villagers you possess. They pose no threat to you."
At this point, Lin Leyou subconsciously glanced back, looking in the direction of the evil god's temple. "However... we also have weaknesses. Our remains are inside the evil god's temple. If the villagers destroy our remains, we will die."
Xue Rui held his hand, "No, our remains will not be destroyed."
Lin Leyou said, “In the dungeon setting, my talent, Lockdown, can seal off the entire village, allowing entry but not exit. However, at the same time, the Evil God Temple... no, it should be the place where Fu Qingqiu's remains are located must also be within the sealed area so that I can appear within the sealed area.”
Xue Rui: "Should we go to the evil god's temple and see if we can find a new place to hide our remains?"
Lin Leyou: "Okay, let's go take a look, but I guess it might not work."
Xue Rui pulled him toward the Evil God Temple. The two of them floated up lightly and flew with the wind. In the blink of an eye, they returned to the Evil God Temple deep in the mountains behind Haitang Village.
This evil temple has been very well preserved by the villagers of Haitang Village. Apart from some dust, everything is in good condition, and many parts have been repaired and renovated.
The three characters on the plaque outside the Evil God Temple could not possibly mean Evil God Temple, but rather Mountain God Temple. Inside, you would see a proper Mountain God statue, but inside this statue was an Evil God statue.
As for their remains...
The two entered the statue directly. Below the statue was a downward staircase leading to a spacious stone chamber at the bottom. There were eighty-eight stone coffins inside. One coffin was added every ten years, for a total of eighty-eight coffins, symbolizing that Haitang Village had been established for eight hundred and eighty years.
Lin Leyou looked at all the stone coffins in the stone chamber. All the coffins were sealed. The last two stone coffins belonged to the two of them. The two of them went over to take a look.
Lin Leyou looked at the coffin representing Xue Rui, "Zhong Wuyan".
Xue Rui then looked at Lin Leyou's coffin, "Fu Qingqiu."
The two then exchanged a glance and began to try it themselves. They quickly came to the conclusion that the stone coffin could not be moved or opened, and the remains inside could not be taken away and hidden elsewhere.
Lin Leyou sighed, "I knew it would turn out like this..."
Xue Rui said, "Then forget it. A-level difficulty dungeons won't be that hard for players. If even weaknesses like bones can be transferred, then the difficulty should be raised to S-level."
Lin Leyou said, "Yes, since that's the case, let's leave it at that. Let's go up and take a look first, and see where we can set up some things to prevent them from finding this place."
The two arrived outside the temple of the evil god and found that the area around the temple had been cleaned up very well, and the vegetation had been trimmed neatly. The temple could be seen from a distance.
Lin Leyou tried it and found that he couldn't take anything out of his backpack, but he could still use his talent.
The "Ghost Wall" skill is usable, the "Attack Enhancement" skill is a passive skill, but the last skill, "Soul Transformation," is useless because he is already a vengeful ghost, so "Soul Transformation" is completely unnecessary.
Xue Rui's situation is similar; he has two talents: one is Etherealization, and the other is Golden Body. Etherealization allows him to make his body appear ethereal, without touching anything or letting anything touch him.
Golden Body is an invincible skill, so you can use it.
Xue Rui: "My blurring ability is indeed unusable."
Lin Leyou sighed, "As expected, it's useless. But thankfully, we have two talents from the Fiend Ghost. Now we need to confirm whether we have to use the Fiend Ghost's talents to kill people, or whether we can kill people under normal circumstances."
Xue Rui said, "Let's give it a try. This dungeon has no time limit, so we can take our time."
Lin Leyou, "By the way, your teammates didn't come along, did they?"
Xue Rui shook his head. "No, they don't match my level."
Lin Leyou: "So, if we enter the dungeon separately, we won't be assigned to dungeons of the same difficulty?"
Xue Rui: "That's right, so there's no need to worry."
Lin Leyou, "So...did you check on Xue Qian's situation after you went back?"
At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xue Rui's eyes. "I didn't expect him to be so tough. He didn't die even after losing nearly 200 million points."
Lin Leyou gasped, "Where did he get so many points?!"
Xue Rui said, "It seems he can use his own items as collateral. He took out a gold-tier item as collateral and returned more than ten million points."
Lin Leyou's lips twitched. "Logically speaking... this is not allowed."
Xue Rui said, "It seems he has a special tool that can do this, but this special tool is also a consumable. Although he is fine, he is extremely angry."
Lin Leyou: "I guess they used that personality-changing prop to pay off a debt?"
Xue Rui blinked. "Maybe it is... I didn't expect him to have so many gold-plated props."
Lin Leyou said, "Forget it, let's not talk about him. The atmosphere just gets awkward whenever we talk about him."
He grabbed Xue Rui's hand and suddenly leaned in to kiss him. Xue Rui paused slightly, all the bad feelings he had just had because of Xue Qian vanished, and his mind and eyes were filled with Lin Leyou.
He turned around and grabbed Lin Leyou's hand, "Let's go, let's go to the village and take a look."
Now that it's dark, the hundred players who appeared in the village didn't disturb the other villagers. Instead, they gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
When Lin Leyou and his group arrived, they could see a hundred players gathered together from afar. It was quite a sight, a dark mass that looked rather oppressive.
They didn't get too close, since players who can get to a dungeon of difficulty A generally have their own set of rules for conduct, and may even be carrying ghost detection devices from the start.
It doesn't need to be too precise; it just needs to detect whether any ghosts are nearby.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui sat on the thick branches of a large tree halfway up the mountain, leaning together to observe the players in the open space in front of the ten houses at the foot of the mountain.
"A few players were trembling on the side... one, two, three... there were ten of them, exactly ten new players."
