Chapter 381 [(*^▽^*)]
Number 1: "First, use the props to locate the ghost's position and see which place is closest, then go there."
Number 4: "I hope I can kill a few more tonight. I've been training with them the whole time, but I haven't had a chance to fight. I didn't get to enjoy myself last night either!"
Number 2: "Everyone, hurry up and gather over here!"
Everyone stopped talking in the group chat and rushed to the meeting point as quickly as possible, where they saw unfamiliar faces but very familiar souls once again.
Number 5: "Ugh, every time I see you guys I have to be on guard. These unfamiliar faces are really disgusting."
Number 2 glanced at her but didn't say much. "Captain, shall we use the props now?"
Number 1 nodded. "This item consumes points each time it's used. We take turns using it. Whose turn is it this time?"
Number 3 raised his hand, "It's my turn this time."
Number 1 will hand this prop to her, saying, "Here you go."
No one had any objections, as it was all agreed upon. As soon as Number 3 received the item, he immediately had the system deduct his points. It was a spherical item with a transparent outer cover and a pointer inside.
The pointer on the prop quickly started spinning, eventually weaving a position diagonally upwards.
"The item pointer will last for three minutes, hurry up!"
The five people quickly walked upstairs, and after climbing about five flights of stairs, the pointer finally became horizontal, which meant that the ghost was on this floor.
Everyone carefully opened the stairwell door, and the little monkey doll reappeared, rampaging through the corridor outside, completely oblivious to everything else.
The five of them followed cautiously behind. They had already walked halfway, but the pointer was still pointing to the very front. It seemed that the ghost must be in the innermost office.
No one is speaking right now. If it's not complicated, just use gestures. If it's complicated, then speak in the group chat. They walked halfway and then stopped.
Since the pointer on the prop was no longer working, they put the prop away and then made the toy monkey run forward as fast as it could. It didn't stop when it reached the end, and it crashed headfirst into the innermost office door with a loud bang.
Everyone was on edge, waiting for the ghost to emerge from the office, but after a while there was still no movement.
Number 2 continued to control his toy monkey to keep banging on the office door, but there was still no response. "It seems that I have to go inside, or rather, ghosts are not interested in lifeless things."
Number 1, "Let the little monkey open the door and go in to take a look first."
Number 2: "No problem!"
The little monkey was prop number 2. Under his control, the little monkey easily opened the door and went inside. The little monkey circled around inside but found nothing. Had the ghost hidden itself?
Or has he already left and is no longer in this office?
Through the open door, everyone could see the scene inside: a clean and tidy office. The floor was so shiny that it reflected light even in the dim light, which suggested that the office owner must have obsessive-compulsive disorder and a germaphobia.
Number 1 narrowed his eyes. "Let the little monkey try causing trouble inside."
Soon, the little monkey, who had been standing obediently in the office, suddenly kicked the single sofa next to him to the ground with a thud, and the surroundings fell silent.
But soon, the little monkey started causing a ruckus inside, making a mess of the office. Just then, some black mist appeared in the office.
The mist gradually increased, eventually forming a vortex in the middle. Soon after, a person emerged from the vortex... it must have been a humanoid monster.
He was dressed impeccably, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and had deathly pale skin with dark lines on the surface, which appeared to follow the lines of the blood vessels beneath the skin.
Besides the black lines on his face, there were also some small cracks. His eyes were black with white pupils. After he appeared, he looked at the chaotic office and let out a roar the next second.
He looked at the little monkey on the ground and slapped it. The little monkey's body immediately tore into pieces, and the cotton inside its body scattered all over the ground, making the already messy office even more chaotic!
However, the haunted house didn't get angrier. Instead, it calmly looked at the cotton on the ground. If the monkey were alive, it wouldn't be cotton; it would be severed limbs, blood, internal organs, and so on—far dirtier!
Turning into cotton actually made it much cleaner. A hint of surprise flashed in the ghost's eyes before it regained its composure. It turned to look at the open office door and stood there looking out. Of course, there was nothing outside.
However, he could see the vitality emanating from living people outside, and in the black, white, and gray world, there was a red aura lingering in the passageway outside.
He gave a smile, which looked a bit scary, but if someone who could understand this kind of aesthetic were here, they would definitely think it was very handsome and good-looking.
This ghost is the elite monster 03 that was previously assigned by the big boss Lin Leyou. He thought he would have to go out and find prey himself, but unexpectedly, these delicious snacks delivered themselves to his door.
This is even better; it saves him the trouble of going out to find them. After eating these snacks, he'll definitely become much stronger.
He reached out his hand towards the door, which was already half open. The door was suddenly ripped off out of thin air and rolled into a ball. With a flick of his arm, 03 sent the ball hurtling towards the living space outside.
If they were hit by this, they would be crippled if not killed. The players hiding there turned and ran! They could all see that this ghost was obviously not one of the ones they had encountered last night.
They were talking as they ran.
Number 5: "This looks familiar, does anyone remember it?"
Number 2, "It seems to be one of the bespectacled, refined men on the 43rd floor before. He's one of the five elite monsters. Everyone just saw his abilities. What do you think we should do to deal with him?"
Number 4: "I think he hasn't shown his full power yet. Should we escape first, find other ghosts to kill, and then come back to kill him?"
Number 1, "He has the ability to remotely control and manipulate objects, and the ability to find hidden players through some method. Everyone remember this, be careful. Without concealment items, ordinary hiding is ineffective and will only lead to him catching you!"
Number 5: "Boss, should we take him out?"
Number 1 pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's shake him off for now, keep an eye on him with the props, and go kill the other ghosts first. We'll leave this one for last and observe him first."
They couldn't beat the other team, but escaping wouldn't be too difficult. Before the ghost could react, one of the players dropped something the size of a fingernail and escaped with his teammates.
Seeing the surveillance footage, Lin Leyou sighed. This group of people ran pretty fast. It seems they might be able to see him alive. When that happens, he'll give them a quick death.
Seeing their prey escape, Elite Monster 03 naturally wouldn't let them go so easily, but unfortunately, it was a bit slow, and by the time it caught up, the players had vanished from sight.
Although he was a little angry, he wasn't worried. There was plenty of food waiting for him in other parts of the building, and he could find it easily.
He looked up for a while, then slowly walked upstairs, unaware that a small thing was following behind him.
He didn't notice this, but Lin Leyou did. However, it was useless for him to notice it, as there was no way to contact the elite monster that had gone down to hunt players.
He got up and walked to the window. Instead of looking outside, he looked at the reflection in the windowpane. This was himself now. Apart from some minor changes, such as the color of his eyes and skin, he was not much different from himself during the day. Is this the BOSS's vision?
Back in front of the surveillance cameras, unable to leave, Lin Leyou could only pass the time by watching the footage.
Elite Monster 03 has now reached the thirty-sixth floor. He just went up the stairs and finally found the player group that had just killed a ghost on the thirty-sixth floor.
This group only has three members. Although the number is small, Lin Leyou just saw that they kill ghosts quite quickly. All three are high-level players.
They came up with all sorts of little props, and although they looked cheap, when combined, they managed to make a really impressive display!
Lin Leyou couldn't help but reflect: would these little gadgets be useful to him?
Elite Monster 03 appeared before them just as they finished packing up and were preparing to leave to find the next ghost.
"Something's wrong! When did this happen?!"
"Damn, this looks pretty difficult. Shall we run?"
When Elite Monster 03 heard them say they were going to run away right in front of him, he was stunned for a moment. Did they completely disregard him?
He immediately sneered and reached out towards the tables and chairs on the side. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he casually swung his hand at the three players, and the tables and chairs were smashed over.
"Get out of the way! This is going to kill you!"
The tables and chairs were smashed on the ground and walls, but the players managed to dodge them. Their gazes towards Elite Monster 03 became serious. "This monster is different from the ones we've encountered before. It should be an elite monster. Should we fight it?"
The other two didn't say a word, but each grabbed one of his arms and turned to run. The player who had just asked if he wanted to fight was now running along with them, looking completely dazed. "Hey... wait a minute!"
"Don't wait any longer. This elite monster is clearly beyond the capabilities of the three of us. Let's run first and see if we can team up to kill it if we encounter other player groups on the way!"
"Okay, okay, I got it. Just put me down, I'll run myself. This feels really awkward!"
