Chapter 88 [(*^▽^*)]
Before this, he had always ignored the talent section in the system panel, since it always showed as none, and the shop only sold items, not talents!
He didn't expect that he would need to kill powerful monsters in the dungeon to obtain it. There may be other ways to get it, but he is undoubtedly incredibly lucky right now.
"Click to use".
"Successfully used. Congratulations to Lin Leyou for acquiring the talent 'Ghost Wall'."
Lin Leyou's lips twitched. No wonder this female ghost trapped Yao Mo and Qin Jiao but failed to kill them. It turned out that her talent was being trapped in a ghost wall.
If other evil spirits had cooperated, those two players definitely wouldn't have survived last night. It seems they were just lucky, but in the end, they only benefited themselves.
"Ghost Wall: After setting up a Ghost Wall in a certain location, it can last for 2 hours, with a 2-hour cooldown time."
Each use of the "ghost wall" technique only lasts for two hours. It seems that if Qin Jiao and Yao Mo can persist for two hours, they can also escape on their own.
After dealing with the female ghost, Lin Leyou left. In any case, no other evil spirits would appear where he was.
As for whether evil spirits might be hiding in the shadows observing him, he didn't care. So what if they were observing him?
These evil spirits dare not confront him, but they will definitely cause trouble for other players. As long as they do not give up on dealing with players, he will have a chance.
Once outside, Lin Leyou received another message from Xue Rui.
It consists of two numbers, 6 and 5.
He once again hid himself in the greenery and took a shortcut to the vicinity of Building 6. It was a bit strange. Xue Rui was in Building 1 before, how did he suddenly come to Building 6?
Was some kind of prop used? Or is there some other reason?
He hid outside Unit 5, constantly observing his surroundings, but found nothing amiss; everything was quiet and peaceful.
After waiting a while, Xue Rui sent him a photo.
Lin Leyou clicked on it and saw that it was a photo of the elevator taken from the sixth-floor corridor. It didn't look unusual. What did this mean?
He examined the photo carefully and found a very blurry figure on the elevator door, which looked like Xue Rui.
There seemed to be a dark shadow near Xue Rui's figure, but it wasn't very clear and could be easily overlooked if one wasn't paying attention.
Xue Rui stared intently at his reflection in the elevator. It was his own image, blurry yet clearly showing the panic on his face.
It was because it felt like there was something behind me, not following me, but lying directly on my back.
But when he turned his head to look, there was nothing there. There was nothing on him or behind him. If he hadn't noticed the reflection in the elevator, he would never have noticed this.
Unbeknownst to Xue Rui, his back was covered in cold sweat.
He didn't even know how he took out his phone, took a picture of himself, and sent it to Lin Leyou. He also didn't know how long he had been standing stiffly outside the elevator with his phone in his hand.
All he knew was that after his phone vibrated, he picked it up and saw a message from Lin Leyou: "Don't take the elevator."
Xue Rui blinked, regaining his breathing. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly held his breath. "Okay."
Lin Leyou, "Are we on the sixth floor now?"
Xue Rui's stiff fingers slowly began to move. "Yes, I can't see this thing, but it seems to be following behind me, or like it's crawling on my back."
Lin Leyou gritted his teeth. Ghosts that can't be seen? Can he see them?
Moreover, it is invisible, but a dark shadow can be seen where the shadow is cast. So how powerful is this ghost?
Whether you can see it or not isn't the most important thing. If it's not a physical object, can your stun gun still reach it?
Lin Leyou quickly headed this way, sending messages to Xue Rui as he went.
On one hand, it was to calm him down, and on the other hand, it was to confirm whether Xue Rui had remained conscious and safe.
"Why don't you try walking down the stairs?"
Xue Rui stood frozen in place. "I can't open the hallway door. I tried it just now. The elevator door can be opened, but something feels off. It's like it was done on purpose."
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "You wait."
He had arrived at his destination. He immediately put away his phone and walked towards the building entrance. He didn't take the stairs but instead took the elevator.
Taking the stairs would be a bit risky; the footsteps would be quite noticeable, and it's uncertain whether the evil spirit lurking behind Xue Rui would escape.
But when he got to the elevator, he suddenly realized that it was stopped on the first floor. His hand, which was about to press the button, stopped there and did not move.
Xue Rui just messaged me saying that his image was reflected in the elevator. Does he mean the elevator was closed, or was it reflected from inside the elevator after it was opened?
He took out his phone and asked Xue Rui to confirm, "Where is the elevator now?"
After a while, Xue Rui replied, "On the sixth floor."
Lin Leyou gasped, breaking out in a cold sweat. The elevator was clearly on the first floor. If Xue Rui had actually gone in, he would have fallen straight down from the sixth floor and died in the elevator shaft.
Very well, this evil spirit doesn't seem to be able to kill people directly, but rather to use something like illusions.
He walked into the elevator with a grim expression and then pressed the button for the sixth floor.
Finally, he sent Xue Rui a message: "Stand over there and wait, I'll be there soon."
Upon seeing the message, Xue Rui blinked, and the anxiety that had been hanging over him suddenly subsided.
You should know that when he couldn't open the stairwell door before, he was already mentally calling the police. Not to mention that when he saw the elevator door that could be opened normally, he also discovered that thing on his body that was invisible to the naked eye.
He even tried to attack the shadowy figure with his gold-plated dagger, but to his surprise, he couldn't hit it at all; it was as if it were air.
He had been standing outside the elevator and felt his body getting colder and colder, as if his hands and feet were gradually being frozen. At that moment, he was terrified.
He constantly tells himself that no one in this world can help him, no one can be his support, and no one can be trusted.
He can only rely on himself, he can only trust himself. He must become stronger and stronger little by little until no one can bully him anymore.
But he seemed to have forgotten how old he was. Even the strongest heart has things it fears.
When Xue Rui took out his phone to send a message to Lin Leyou, he didn't even realize that his hands were trembling. But surprisingly, after receiving the message from Lin Leyou, he felt much more relaxed.
Especially when you see the last sentence...
Just wait here. This Mr. Lin will come to find me and rescue me.
At that moment, all the fear and dread in his heart miraculously disappeared, and he calmed down as if there was nothing behind him.
When he came to his senses, the elevator doors that had been open in front of him opened again, and the scenes he had just seen were shattered like a mirage.
This time, the elevator wasn't empty; a familiar person was standing there.
Lin Leyou didn't speak to Xue Rui right away; his gaze was drawn to the pure black demon emanating black energy that was perched on Lin Leyou's back.
When the evil spirit saw Lin Leyou, it tilted its head in confusion, as if trying to confirm who he was and why their eyes met.
It seemed like she didn't recognize him. Lin Leyou took a breath and whispered, "Close your eyes."
Without hesitation, Xue Rui not only closed his eyes but also covered his face with his hands. He was afraid that Lin Leyou would see him showing too much fear, and he was still unwilling to expose his weakness.
Little did he know that his gesture of covering his face with his hands had completely betrayed his fear.
Fortunately, Lin Leyou wasn't paying much attention to Xue Rui's actions at the moment. Instead, before the shapeless demon recognized him, he grabbed the stun gun and lashed it out.
Sure enough, although this thing looks like it's made of black mist, it can actually be used to stun someone with a stun gun.
Especially since Xue Rui said he couldn't see it with his own eyes, but he could, that's right... The identity of a security guard is really too useful!
Although it didn't feel very real after I drew it, it turned into a black blob that fell to the ground. It couldn't be seen to be human-shaped; instead, it was round and flat on the ground, just like a black slime.
It looks quite cute, but I wonder if it's easy or difficult to kill.
He glanced at Xue Rui out of the corner of his eye and saw that he was still standing obediently in the same place, not moving around. He thought to himself that he was quite cute and obedient.
After admiring it for a while, Lin Leyou took out his own dagger. He had been drooling over this weapon ever since he first touched the butcher's dagger. There was no other reason than that, although the side effects were great, this thing was just too useful!
He originally thought he was going to get a few cuts, but to his surprise, after just one cut, the ghost turned into black mist and disappeared.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for slaying the evil spirit. Reward: 50 points."
A card was left behind, and upon picking it up, it turned out to be another talent card. Had I accidentally stirred up a nest of talent cards?!
"You have obtained a talent card. Click to use it to obtain one of the random talents possessed by this evil spirit."
what to do?
Is he going to use this talent card himself?
His gaze fell again on Xue Rui, who was standing there obediently covering his face. (To him?)
He still preferred to keep it for himself.
But Xue Rui...
Although he keeps saying that Xue Rui owes him something, he is ultimately able to have all of this because of Xue Rui.
Should we give it to him?
Even without him, Xue Rui would still grow into a big shot, so this talent card...
Xue Rui stood there obediently, without making a sound to disturb him or wandering around.
