Chapter 87 [(*^▽^*)]
“We’re trapped on the third floor. What should we do? If a female ghost appears now, we might not be able to escape at all. No matter if we run up or down, we’ll end up back on the third floor. The female ghost just needs to wait for us here, and she can catch us in no time.”
Qin Jiao: "Do you have any weapons?"
Yao Mo said, "The props are expensive. I can't afford the weapons in the store. I didn't win anything in the lottery before. You know what weapons I have, right? Just that one pistol. I have to buy bullets with points. I don't even know if those bullets can hurt ghosts."
Qin Jiao took out her whip, which she had obtained in the last dungeon. It was said that it could whip both people and ghosts, but she didn't know if that was true or if it could cause any damage.
After all, I haven't had the chance to draw a ghost before, so maybe I can give it a try now.
Yao Mo: "It should be about time. The female ghost should have come out to chase us by now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Jiao saw some black mist above, just like the situation before the female ghost appeared last night.
"Up there!"
Instead of rushing down, the two remained where they were, observing the black mist above.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, a familiar figure appeared in the place shrouded in black mist. It was the female ghost who had chased them last night!
"Quickly...no, don't go too fast..."
If they run too fast, they'll come down from the third floor and bump right into the female ghost who's up there!
The two of them kept a distance from the female ghost, neither too close nor too far. When the female ghost chased them, they ran. When the female ghost slowed down, they slowed down as well. When the female ghost sped up, they sped up as well.
Qin Jiao took the opportunity to use the length of her whip to lash the female ghost twice, but only hit her once, and it didn't seem to cause any damage. The female ghost didn't even react, as if it were just a gentle breeze.
Qin Jiao felt cheated and stopped holding the whip in her hand, putting it directly into her backpack so she could run more smoothly.
The female ghost chased them downwards, and they ran downwards; if she had chased them upwards, they would have run upwards as well.
Since they were stuck on the third floor, they had no other choice. As for the stairwell door, they never reached out to open it.
Yao Mo was on edge. Although he could keep a general distance by watching the direction the female ghost was chasing, he still needed to keep his eyes on her with full concentration.
Fortunately, the female ghost wasn't particularly fast, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted this long.
So... when exactly is Lin Leyou coming? They can't hold on much longer.
Qin Jiao ran to the back and took out the whip she had put in her backpack. She felt that the reason the female ghost hadn't reacted before was probably because she hadn't used enough force. She wanted to try again, since she had only hit her once before.
But he held the whip in his hand again, and hadn't lashed it out yet. If he did, it would cause some harm, even just a little bit. But if it didn't cause any harm and instead angered the female ghost, that would be truly fatal.
They were already struggling to keep up with the female ghost's speed.
Actually, it's because the distance of this maze is too short. If it were two floors, they might be able to have an easier time.
Lin Leyou waited outside for a while, but didn't see the two of them come out. He immediately knew something was wrong. If they hadn't found anything inside, they would have left.
So... they must be trapped.
Even so, he couldn't find their location immediately. He could only start from Unit 1 and search one by one. He had just come out of Unit 2. There was nothing in Unit 1 and Unit 2, so they were obviously not here.
So... next up is Unit 3.
He walked to the entrance of the building, quietly pushed the door open, and found it very quiet inside, without a sound.
He remembered Qin Jiao telling Yao Mo that they were trapped in a maze while walking up the stairs, so he didn't look for the elevator and went straight to the door leading to the corridor.
Just as he was about to open it, he seemed to hear some slight noise.
It sounded like footsteps, but not quite; it sounded like voices, but not quite. In short, one thing was certain: these sounds were not on the first floor.
Who else could be in the hallway at this hour? It could only be Qin Jiao and Yao Mo, who just arrived.
Lin Leyou stood at the door for a while, then turned and walked towards the elevator not far away. He took the elevator to the second floor and stood in front of the door again, pressing his ear to listen to the sound.
This time, the sounds coming from inside were clearer, and you could vaguely hear things like "hurry up," "down," no, no, it's "up."
However, after assessment, it was determined that it was not on the second floor.
Lin Leyou turned around again, took the elevator to the third floor, and this time he guessed right. The voice coming from the other side of the door was very clear, as if the two of them were talking right next to the door.
Great, this is it!
When Lin Leyou heard Qin Jiao's voice saying "Coming, coming," and then heard footsteps going downstairs, he suddenly pushed open the door. Sure enough, the female ghost teacher he had seen before appeared in front of him.
The female ghost was seen floating down from upstairs, and she met Lin Leyou's gaze as he opened the stairwell door. Both of them saw each other.
When the female ghost saw Lin Leyou, she was shocked and instinctively turned to run away. However, the speed of the chase was too fast, and she was still moving forward due to inertia... that is, towards Lin Leyou.
"Good timing!"
Lin Leyou called out with a smile.
He swung the stun gun at the female ghost who only had time to show a look of fear. Before she could react, her eyes rolled back and she fainted and collapsed to the ground like a human.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiao and Yao Mo also heard the commotion and slowly came upstairs, both still shaken.
Qin Jiao patted her chest. "We've finally arrived. We've been going around in circles here, and this stairwell door leads to the stairwell. How did you get in?"
Lin Leyou didn't offer much explanation, simply stating, "I'm a security guard."
The "ghost wall" technique has no effect on him because it is a form of attack, and he is currently on duty, wearing a uniform, and cannot attack.
Qin Jiao and Yao Mo stood cautiously at the bottom of the stairs, perhaps frightened by the sight of the female ghost still lying there. "Um, this female ghost..."
Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes and dismissed them without saying a word, "Why don't you go first? I'll handle this female ghost."
The two were completely unaware of Lin Leyou's subtle actions and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Mo said, "In that case, we'll be going now. We're not planning to look for anything this morning; we're going to rest at the square for a while."
"no problem."
The female ghost was only unconscious, not gone. If she stayed any longer, she might be attacked again, so she might as well leave quickly.
As for how Lin Leyou should be dealt with, they didn't care. The other party was a security guard, and since he said that, he must have a way. It was enough for them to protect themselves.
After confirming that the two had indeed left through the first-floor stairwell door, Lin Leyou took out the sharp knife from his backpack.
He swung his sword three times at Xue Rui's side just now, losing three-quarters of his sanity. After so much time, he has actually recovered.
Now let's see how many cuts this female ghost teacher needs.
He looked at the dagger from left to right, and still cautiously made a cut. He found that the female ghost hadn't changed much, except that her figure seemed to have faded a bit.
Based on this level of severity, it might require three or four more cuts.
Last night, this female ghost chased after Qin Jiao and Yao Mo, letting them escape. Today, she used a ghost wall technique in the stairwell to control them, trying to kill them. However, she was delayed again and even bumped into herself.
Based on this information, the female ghost doesn't seem to be very powerful. If she were, Qin Jiao and Yao Mo would have been killed long ago.
So... why do you need to make so many cuts?
Is there something I've overlooked?
After being struck by the electric baton, the female ghost will be unconscious for ten minutes. After being slashed once, he loses a quarter of his sanity and it takes several minutes to recover.
He didn't rush to strike a second time, but waited a few minutes until he felt his sanity return before delivering the second blow to the female ghost.
With the second slash, he noticed that the female ghost's form had faded even more, to the same degree as when the evil spirit on Xue Rui's side had been slashed before.
Therefore, to completely kill this female ghost, it doesn't take four or five cuts, but at least six!
Lin Leyou was somewhat surprised. He waited a few more minutes, then made his third cut. Calculating the time, ten minutes were almost up; it was time…
Just as ten minutes were about to pass, Lin Leyou struck the female ghost again with the stun gun before she woke up, thus resetting the time of paralysis and unconsciousness to ten minutes.
He was also somewhat doubtful about whether the time could be refreshed. After poking her with the stun gun, he stood there and waited.
After all the time had passed, the female ghost was still lying on the ground, completely unaware of what was happening, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems there are no problems.
What shocked him most was the sheer power of the stun gun; once someone was knocked unconscious, they were truly unconscious and wouldn't wake up even if stabbed. However, he was also fortunate to have this ability.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Leyou made his fourth strike. After a short while, the final fifth and sixth strikes would follow. These two strikes did not need to be separated; they could be done together.
As soon as the sixth cut was made, the female ghost disappeared before his eyes, turning into ashes and dissipating into the air, as if she had never existed in the first place, leaving only a card in the spot.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for slaying an evil spirit. Reward: 120 points."
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for obtaining a talent card. Click to use it to obtain one of the talents possessed by this evil spirit."
Huh?
What is it?
Lin Leyou stared at it carefully for a moment.
Talent Card!
It really is a talent card!
This is actually a talent card!
