Chapter 050: Escape Night
How could it be so fast?
Without warning, once that ominous countdown ends, this module will undergo a radical change.
Rong Le didn't have time to think about it, and immediately took out his mobile phone to send a message to Wang Qi. Then he started calling people with contact information, the first one being Zhan Mingyue.
Her call was connected quickly.
Zhan Mingyue said briskly, "Hello? Why are you calling me? Is there something urgent?"
Rong Le was very distant, and the feeling of keeping people at a distance was obvious. Even though she was considered a classmate with Rong Le who had a relatively good relationship in this school, their relationship was not as close as she had imagined.
This was also the first time Rong Le called her.
Rong Le's voice on the phone was emotionless: "Where are you now? Is there anyone around?"
Zhan Mingyue twisted her hair with her fingers in confusion and looked at the people next to her: "And Chang Shan, we are in the classroom, what's going on?"
Rong Le: "Time is running out. To cut a long story short, the rules of this school are about to change. The ghosts will riot soon - the school will soon become dangerous. If possible, try to stay in a safe place. Don't walk around without permission. Be careful of everyone around you!"
Zhan Mingyue was confused: "What? Rongrong, what are you talking about? How could such a thing happen..."
Rong Le interrupted her: "Just do as I say. I will find time to contact you. Remember, don't trust everyone, because ghosts are all around us."
Zhan Mingyue shuddered at his last words and suddenly felt a little timid. Beside him, Chang Shan asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Who's calling?"
The phone was hung up. The girl slowly withdrew her hand. Hidden by her thick hair, she whispered softly, "...I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I don't know," she said, shuddering slightly.
But she always felt that something bad was about to happen to her.
Seeing her like this, Chang Shan took off his coat and gave it to her.
Zhan Mingyue took it, thought for a moment, and grabbed his sleeve: "Chang Shan, accompany me to the cafeteria to buy something."
In any case, she should prepare some emergency items in advance.
…
The countdown ends at 12 o'clock tonight.
Rong Le notified the people around him as soon as the abnormality occurred to ensure everyone's safety. Wang Qi had received his message and took Chen Sisi to the safe place they had found earlier.
At this time, the sky was gradually turning dark.
At some point, the number of people on the entire campus began to decrease, and soon the roads became empty. The trees seemed to have lost their vitality and solidified, as if they were about to fade into dried-up oil paintings.
Baiyue also sensed the increasingly strange atmosphere on campus: "Is this alienation?"
"I'm afraid that's the case. It seems the school has reached a critical point. The ghosts are no longer satisfied with the current situation and want to take over the entire school. We need to join up with others."
Rong Le said this, looking straight ahead, his profile calm and composed.
After speaking frankly, the originally innocent and well-behaved boy revealed his knowledge of mysticism. His skillful posture even made Baiyue feel frightened. But no matter what, they were in the same camp in this campus.
Baiyue looked up at the sky and his heart gradually sank. When night fell, he could already foresee what kind of tragedy was about to take place here.
“There are still many students here…”
"The devil has sneaked into the students. We don't know who is safe. What's more, we can't even protect ourselves now."
Rong Le said calmly, at this moment he had shed his harmless side and became exceptionally rational and precise.
Bai Yue said no more. Rong Le no longer maintained the mask of an ordinary student. He didn't know Rong Le's true purpose, but he knew that his position was on his side.
Screams were heard one after another throughout the campus. The ghosts that had been suppressed by humans in the past seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint and were showing an irresistible power.
These wails seemed like a prelude to the coming battle royale, foreshadowing that they would face an even more tragic situation.
Rong Le and Bai Yue also became more cautious in their actions. They avoided unusual places where ghosts might appear. It took them nearly half an hour to finally reach the safe place of Wang Qi and Chen Sisi.
This is the backstage of the school auditorium.
After checking out the various facilities of the school, Rong Le discovered that the school's auditorium was in a good location, from which he could observe most of the situation on campus. There were also many secret passages inside, making it suitable for hiding.
Rong Le led Bai Yue around and around, and knocked gently on a small door deep in the auditorium. A slight movement came from behind the door, and he said, "It's me."
After a few seconds, the door opened.
Wang Qi cautiously glanced at the situation outside through the crack in the door. His gaze paused for a moment on Bai Yue, and he opened the door and whispered, "Why did you bring someone else with you?"
Rong Le gestured, indicating that they should go in first.
Wang Qi stepped aside to let Rong Le and the other man walk into the room. Inside was Chen Sisi, who was sitting in a wheelchair. She smiled gently at him. Wang Qi closed the door after they entered and asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Rong Le: "Not good. The power of the ghosts in the school will become stronger. We are at a disadvantage. Moreover, the students are leaderless. The status of hunter and prey has been completely reversed."
Wang Qi: "School rules can't allow for absolute suppression of one side. There must be some way to manipulate it. And what exactly caused the alienation?"
Rong Le pondered for a moment: "Let's wait and see. Now is the last time for us to react. When the alienation is over, perhaps we will know the new rules."
Wang Qi nodded: "Where are those guys?"
Rong Le knew what she was referring to: "I have contacted them, and they are also looking for a safe place."
Players still have some self-protection capabilities, so there is no need to worry too much. Wang Qi looked at Baiyue and said, "So, it's time to explain to us who this person is, right?"
As early as when Baiyue came in, Wang Qi looked him up and down. She remembered that he was a new teacher in the school, but because he had been in office for too short a time, she did not have a deep impression of him.
But since Rong Le brought him here, he must have some good qualities. Wang Qi noticed that Bai Yue looked calm and didn't seem to be frightened by these sudden abnormalities.
Bai Yue introduced himself: "I am from Miskatonic University, which specializes in handling such incidents. I am an investigator for this type of situation. I came to Qiuhai to investigate the anomalies here."
Rong Le mercilessly teased him, "Are you a newly minted rookie investigator?"
Wang Qi saw the veins on Baiyue's forehead pop up instantly.
"Hahahahaha, Baiyue simply can't maintain its composure where Rongrong is."
"It turns out that Baiyue is also from Mida."
"It must be related to the University of Michigan. After all, Baiyue was already a trustee of the University of Michigan during the Polant era."
"I'm suddenly very curious about the Baiyue family's background. They're so young, but they have such a rich background and seem to have so many secrets."
The barrage of comments was full of discussion.
However, Baiyue still maintained his composure and said calmly: "In short, I am someone you can trust."
Wang Qi nodded silently, watching Bai Yue calmly grab the back of Rong Le's collar to prevent the boy from escaping. The two of them quarreled over a trivial matter. She felt that there was a wonderful chemical reaction between this investigator with a prominent background and her obviously very reliable teammate.
Chen Sisi also laughed: "They have such a good relationship."
They stayed in the room for an unknown amount of time. The room was completely silent, so when the bell outside rang, it seemed so deafening.
The hands of the clock in the school clock tower slowly moved to 12 o'clock. At the moment when the hour hand and minute hand coincided, it was as if the voice of the god of death pronounced the verdict.
——“The rules of the game are starting to change.”
"It has been detected that the number of humans in the school has dropped sharply to the lowest value. The status of ghosts has begun to change. From the moment this announcement is issued, ghosts can hunt humans at will, and humans have the opportunity to immediately accuse them."
——“The game covers the entire campus. Only one side can survive. When all the people in one camp disappear, the game ends.”
——"The escape feast——has begun."
At this moment, everyone in the school who heard this sound was horrified.
Someone stood up in disbelief: "How is this possible! How could the human side reduce it to the lowest number? Doesn't this mean... that the number of ghosts far exceeds that of humans?!"
When Zhan Mingyue heard this voice, his face turned pale and he unconsciously grabbed Chang Shan's clothes.
Chang Shan's face was solemn. He spoke soothingly and glanced around. He realized one thing clearly.
Things are going to change at school...
The deserted campus was shrouded in an ominous night.
No one was asleep at this moment, and everyone was in panic because of this sudden change.
"What does this rule mean? Can't we judge ghosts with the statues like before?"
Someone asked excitedly in the Class A group.
"I'm afraid that's not the case. The statue should still be effective, but the area outside is probably full of ghosts right now. The area around the statue might be even more dangerous. We can't act on our own. If there's any place that's the safest, it must be Class A."
Some people calmed down and analyzed.
"Everyone is here now. We must do our best to ensure collective survival, otherwise the situation of this game will become even more unfavorable to us."
"I'm in the dormitory, and my roommates are all classmates."
"I'm in the dormitory too."
People in the group said that at this time everyone was basically staying in the dormitory.
Some people gave different answers.
"I'm in the classroom... Damn, I just want to study. It's too scary outside now. I don't dare to go out at all."
Someone panicked and said, "I'm in the bathroom! Who can help me out? I think I hear a ticking sound!"
"Where are you?"
"The innermost cubicle on the right side of the third floor of the women's dormitory!"
"I'm in the dormitory opposite the toilet. I can help you check the situation."
After a while, the girl replied: "...The situation is not good. There seems to be something crawling on the ceiling. It seems to be searching each room to see if there is anyone inside. It will soon crawl to your position!"
There was dead silence in the class group.
After a while, the girl sent a message: "Goodbye."
-Sun Xiaoxiao exited the group chat.
"The ghost found her..."
There was no new information for a long time after this message. Zhan Mingyue looked at the group chat, his fingers weakly grasping Chang Shan, as if grasping a piece of driftwood: "What should we do? Will we die?"
Chang Shan said calmly: "No, as long as we unite together, there is still a chance of survival."
He promised the girl, "I will protect you."
…
Accused on the spot, failure means death.
The accusation cycle failed and the order of the school was about to fall into complete chaos.
Bai Yue held down Rong Le who was standing up: "What are you going to do?"
Rong Le: "I'm planning to pick someone up."
Those players are not smart enough and can easily get into dangerous situations, so we should at least give them a hand.
Wang Qi remained silent for a moment and said, "Sisi and I are not in a position to leave."
Rong Le nodded: "I understand."
He looked at Baiyue: "So, Baiyue, you stay here to protect them?"
Bai Yue frowned: "...I'll go with you."
Rong Le shook her head: "Let's split up. I'll go out and check the situation first. We need to find the props that can turn the situation around. I always feel that we are missing something. There must be some prerequisite. If we complete it, we may be able to find the props."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for others to react, he opened the door and slipped out quickly.
"Wait..." Baiyue reached out to grab him.
The boy was like a slippery cat, disappearing from sight in a moment of inattention. The ends of his hair wrapped in a dark green ribbon slipped through his fingertips, forming a gentle arc in the air, and then the door was gently closed.
“…”
After closing the door, Rong Le stood alone in the corridor outside, her expression hidden in the darkness, her deep eyes unclear.
He recalled the messages on his phone regarding contact with Huangmao and walked in that direction.
Just now, at the moment when the battle royale officially began, the system finally had a new task prompt.
Under its distorted system, Qiu Hai Private High School has become a haven for demons. These creatures have been dormant in the shadows, unleashing their full savagery until this moment, ready to hunt humans with abandon. A bloody shadow looms over the campus. The school is now ruled by demons. Investigator, you have no other choice.
[Sink into this monster paradise, or do you try your best to save it all?]
【Your choice will change the fate of this module. 】
Rong Le never had the right to make another choice.
The important plot of this module is so fierce that it seems impossible to turn the tide. It is difficult for just a few of them to fight against such a large number of ghosts.
But he had to do it.
[In this final school, this deformed system, I will triumph and save everyone's fate.]
He chose to accept the main mission.
The barrage of comments suddenly erupted in an uproar, and everyone was so excited that they couldn't contain themselves.
"Rongrong accepted it again!"
"He is truly our savior!"
"He has opened up the main storyline of the module again. Why are my eyes so damn sore right now?"
"Rong Le, who has the ability to rewind time, won't truly die, but he will constantly experience the feeling of death. I doubt he's truly recovered after dying hundreds of times in the last module."
However, no matter what, their hopes were now placed on Rong Le. The audience below the stage had the qualification to watch, but they could not change the plot that was about to unfold.
[Main Quest 1-1: Go to the principal's office in the administrative building to find the key to the library and open the sealed door.]
The top floor of the library had been sealed off artificially, and a seal had been placed on it. A key was required as a medium to open the door, so Rong Le did not open it after discovering this suspicious point, but put it aside for the time being.
The appearance of the task at this time was equivalent to pointing him in the right direction.
Rong Le planned to take the group of players to a safe place and then go to the administrative building to complete the main mission.
Huangmao and the others were staying in the dormitory at this time.
This group of players was very lucky. Before the countdown began, they stayed in the dormitory obediently. There was no one else in the dormitory, so there was no threat from ghosts.
Huang Mao secretly reported to Rong Le: "But the others seem to have other ideas. They seem to be planning to go out and are already planning their route..."
Rong Le: "Don't let them run around. Ghosts won't just stand there and let you accuse them."
Huang Mao looked at the other people in the dormitory who were busy with their plans and felt guilty: "I will try my best to persuade them, but it may not be effective."
A man with glasses who was on good terms with him suddenly looked at him and asked, "Who are you messaging?"
Huang Mao hesitated and said, "Rong Le said he was coming over. Why don't we wait until he arrives before we talk about it."
The man with glasses frowned when he heard this: "He's wandering around the campus alone. Isn't he afraid of being contaminated by ghosts? Who knows if it will be a human or a ghost coming over later?"
Huang Mao was speechless. Zhang Wei also felt that it made sense: "Is he here to look for Rong Qing? He always looks like he knows a lot."
The man with glasses looked at the yellow-haired man and said, "I think there's something fishy about him. Why would he risk his life to find us for no reason? Maybe Rong Qing is the biggest villain in this module. Rong Le didn't tell us about his relationship with him, so he might have been tainted a long time ago!"
Then don't they put the ghost next to them? !
Everyone gasped and became frightened after realizing what was happening.
The barrage was stunned.
"My goodness, how do these players survive to this day?"
"Should we say they are stupid or smart? The guy with glasses could even guess that Rong Qing was dangerous, but he ended up concluding that Rong Le was a ghost? Didn't they realize that he was the real boss?"
"If I were to enter the City of Mist, I would definitely beg for a ride right away!"
"Time in the module doesn't flow with reality. The players Rong Le has met so far probably haven't watched the livestream. I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing them find out the truth."
"Rong Le was very kind by not abandoning these players. No one else would take such a huge risk to save them."
"Rong Le didn't know about the live broadcast room, nor did he know that we were all watching his actions. In his opinion, he could do everything by himself, so it didn't matter if no one knew."
"I really feel sorry for him when you say that."
“…”
After much deliberation, Zhang Wei and others decided to leave here temporarily.
They thought they had found a way out: "We can ask Rong Le to come over, but there's no need to wait in the dormitory. Once he comes, we can act together and leave this damn place."
Since the scope of the game is limited to the school, they should find a way to leave the school, and maybe they can successfully escape from the module.
Huangmao couldn't persuade them, and was afraid that saying too much would offend his teammates, so he could only follow their lead.
The dormitory they were in was on the second floor. There were no idea how many ghosts were hiding in the dark outside, so they naturally couldn't leave through the corridor. They had heard several screams in the corridor before. Those ghosts gathered together unscrupulously, just waiting for the food on the plate to become more and more frightened until they collapsed.
Even if someone stands up to accuse, they can only accuse one of the ghosts at most, and the other ghosts will tear the person to pieces in an instant.
It's hell on earth.
Since going out through the door didn't work, they changed their idea and decided to go out through the window.
Outside the window is the back of the dormitory, and behind the dormitory is a desolate open space. Usually there is no one here during the day. If these players had not been idle and exploring the map, they would not even have discovered that after crossing the open space, there is even a small iron door leading to the outside under the cover of weeds.
Surprisingly, their plan went extremely smoothly and they successfully landed on the ground from the window without disturbing any ghosts.
After everyone jumped down, they gradually walked towards the place they were exploring at that time.
There was silence all around, and everyone was walking cautiously, using their cell phones as flashlights.
Huangmao deliberately slowed down his pace and fell behind. He took out his phone and sent a message to Rong Le: "We've come out and are now behind the dormitory building, preparing to go to the small iron gate."
Rong Le: "I'll be there soon."
Just as Huangmao turned off his phone, someone patted his shoulder hard. It was Glasses, who urged him, "Why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up and catch up."
Huangmao responded vaguely, and after walking for a few minutes, they could soon see the small iron gate carrying hope not far ahead.
At this time, footsteps were heard behind me.
Everyone turned around vigilantly and pointed their flashlights at the source.
The footsteps had an indescribable rhythm. In their impression, only Rong Le would have such an inappropriate posture, which was out of tune with them.
The boy's figure appeared in the light of the flashlight.
He was wearing Qiu Hai's uniform student uniform. The perfectly tailored uniform outlined his slender body. His suit vest was still well worn on his body, and the emerald green bow tie also emitted a moving glow in the dark night.
In stark contrast to this distant appearance, Rong Le asked with a smile, "Where are you planning to go?"
...I felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The players unconsciously became nervous, and someone stammered, "Go, go to the small iron gate to leave the school."
Rong Le's gaze slowly fell on the small iron door.
It looked like an abandoned iron gate, roughly opened by someone, and no one knew where it led to. Compared with the other tall and solid walls of Qiuhai, this small iron gate seemed to be a relic of the last century.
Rong Le slowly faded her smile. "The scope of the game is the entire school. In other words, the school is the module this time. Do you really think you can escape the module in this way?"
The appearance he usually displayed was too deceptive, and now the oppressive feeling that had been previously ignored was noticed again.
Zhang Wei's voice softened. "That doesn't mean the door can't be used. If it exists, it must be useful. Maybe we can get through here and leave this module!"
He slowly regained his courage: "Besides, we can't even prove whether you are a human or a ghost, and I don't want to accuse you. Since you don't want to go with us, let's not get in each other's way."
His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he threatened, "If you insist on stopping us... then you will only be our enemy!"
Rong Le didn't say anything.
He looked around at the group, "Do you all think so?"
Except for Huangmao, everyone else nodded.
These players have been blinded by the hope of survival. Obviously, anyone who stops them will be regarded as an enemy. They hold the small iron door tightly in their hands as their only life-saving straw. No matter what is said, it will arouse their rebellious psychology.
It’s useless to say anything more at this time. Your destiny is always in your own hands.
Rong Le said calmly, "Huang Mao won't go with you. The rest of you can go if you want."
Zhang Wei looked at Huang Mao in astonishment, as if Huang Mao had betrayed them: "You won't come with us?"
Huangmao was also torn between his conscience and his desires at this moment. He had hoped that Rong Le could persuade his teammates not to be so impulsive, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Now his teammates are still preparing to leave, and Rong Le is standing not far away. He needs to make a choice between the two sides.
Should I trust my teammates?
Huangmao stared deeply at the small iron door, as if trying to judge with his naked eyes whether it was dangerous.
The man with glasses beside him was still trying to persuade him: "Don't listen to that guy, let's go quickly, otherwise the ghost will chase us and we won't be able to leave!"
There was nowhere to hide in this open space. The result of being caught would be death. The other teammates couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Hurry up and leave. If you're any later, we won't wait for you!"
The young man with black hair and green eyes was still standing there, his posture calm and determined.
Huang Mao slowly gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "...I won't leave, you guys go!"
Zhang Wei was shocked and asked, "Are you crazy?"
The yellow-haired man shook his head firmly, no longer looking at his teammates, and walked towards Rong Le: "I hope you can survive. I also have my own choices."
Glasses' voice was exasperated: "Come back soon!"
Huangmao didn't look back.
He walked towards the young man. The young man had a confident posture. When he saw him coming, his beautiful eyes curved slightly and he smiled generously.
But Huangmao would not be fooled by his appearance.
Although this person is smiling now, and his smile is gentle and beautiful, there may be evil thoughts brewing in his heart.
"It was a wise choice. You can look back and see that this is what happens when you are deceived."
Huangmao was slightly startled, then slowly turned around following his instructions.
His teammates had given up on him and were running towards the small gate, fearing that if they were a step late they would be stuck there forever. However, the moment Zhang Wei, who was at the front, stepped out of the small iron gate, he let out a heart-wrenching roar.
"ah--!"
Scarlet blood mist burst out from his body, and clusters of it appeared in various parts of his body, as if something was hammering him hard, or as if an invisible big hand was crushing him to death.
Soon, he died miserably in front of them.
Behind him, another person was only one step away from the iron gate. Seeing this scene, he stopped in his tracks, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.
He was sweating profusely and was feeling relieved. Before his face could fully express joy, a huge force came from behind and pushed him out heavily!
The horrific incident that happened to Zhang Wei before happened again.
Because most of his body fell outside the iron gate, only the half of his body that was stretched out was attacked. While screaming, he turned his head with all his strength, and his resentful eyes were fixed on the person who pushed him.
Glasses looked at his miserable appearance with a strange smile on his face, as if he saw something beautiful worth looking forward to.
At this moment he became so strange, as if the person standing there was not a human but a demon.
Until his death, he had no idea why his companions had become like this.
Rong Le's voice rang out softly beside her: "I have no sympathy for fools who don't understand the situation. Since we're all going to die sooner or later, we might as well make the most of our last chance—get it? Never trust anyone."
The yellow-haired man's pupils trembled and his whole body felt numb.
He looked at the glasses and laughed wildly. His originally gentle and timid face was now filled with madness. He seemed like a different person, his whole body filled with madness.
"Weren't you... rescuing them earlier?"
Huangmao murmured in disbelief.
"They are no longer worth saving. Even if you save them, they will die soon. It's better to let them play their final role and teach you a good lesson."
Rong Le spoke in a gentle tone, as if what he saw was not a horrifying tragedy, but a teaching tool that he had come up with on a whim.
"If you want to survive in the City of Mist, stop being so ridiculously naive."
Huangmao stood there, his head dizzy.
The number of barrages began to surge when Zhang Wei died. Many people faced such a bloody and horrifying scene for the first time. It was not until this moment that they truly realized what the City of Fog meant.
The screen was filled with messages in various languages. After hearing Rong Le's teachings to Huang Mao, they fell into a brief silence just like Huang Mao.
"I've been watching the livestream for so long that I even thought I could do it myself. But just watching this scene brought me back to square one. It turns out I never understood the true nature of the City of Mist."
"No one who can survive in the foggy city is normal."
"Who would go back hundreds of times just to clear a module? Don't judge Rong Le by normal standards. No one could do better than him. The City of Mist doesn't need cowardice or kindness; it will only hasten death."
"Don't judge him by the standards of the Holy Father. Anyone who dares to criticize him from a moral high ground should go to the City of Mist for a walk!"
Huang Mao's frail body began to tremble. He looked at the scene before him and said absentmindedly, "Why...why would he do this?"
He was not angry at Rong Le for not saving them. What he didn't understand was why Yan Jing wanted to harm them?
He soon knew the answer.
"What a shame... You and I are not on the same mission. My goal is not to survive, but to become a ghost and help them pollute everyone!"
There were scarlet bloodstains on Glasses' face, but he didn't care at all, his face was full of joy.
"I finally killed you... No, I finally completed the mission. I will gain even greater power. You can rest assured and die. As long as I complete the module, I will be able to dispel the fog as well. You all contributed to this as well!"
A low, strange laugh escaped his throat.
Huangmao clenched his teeth and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
He felt sorry and angry about what happened to his companions, and even a little scared. If it weren't for Rong Le, would he be the one lying on the ground now?
Rong Le propped up her chin and said, "You just said it so casually. It seems that you don't intend to let us go."
Sure enough, the man with glasses looked at them and smiled strangely, "Yellow Hair, although the plan has gone a little wrong, it doesn't matter. I have also gained a lot of power and can summon nearby ghosts... You can't escape."
Huangmao's stomach churned.
Glasses' words made him feel sick. He was going to kill them all for such a reason. The teammates he imagined were not so reliable, but were actually devils with dark hearts.
Rong Le chuckled: "I see, it's a confrontation mode, really interesting."
Should I run now?
When the glasses really summoned ghosts nearby, how would they escape? There was empty space all around, and they would really die here.
The smile on the man with glasses was sticky and ferocious, and his eyes emitted an ominous red light in the night. He had indeed obtained the long-lost power, but in another way.
Rong Le said nonchalantly, "Even if you can summon ghosts, they are only low-level ghosts that can't even retain their own consciousness. This ridiculous power is actually nothing."
Glasses blushed and yelled, "What do you know? I will become even stronger. You two are the stepping stones on my road to growth!"
He became more and more angry and roared, "Die!!"
The comments were very angry:
"Is this bastard worthy of being a human being?"
"This guy has no humanity. He can even kill his own companions. If we let him grow, who knows how many people he will devour!"
Along with the roar of Glasses, countless rustling sounds were heard not far away, as if something was rushing towards this side.
Huangmao took a step back involuntarily: "Let's, let's run away..."
"Haha, you who can't escape, you who can't escape, all of you, go die, die!"
As the man with glasses spoke, his expression became more and more crazy: "Die die die die die——!"
Huangmao looked at the ghost that was gradually attacking them in despair.
These controllable, low-level ghosts have no consciousness of their own and act entirely on instinct. They have deformed tentacles and tangled, flying tentacles, and their eyes flash with scarlet light, the look of a predator.
Under the cover of night, the oppressive feeling they bring is terrifying.
"Really? That's what you think."
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.
The next moment, the monsters that were already rushing in front of him were split into two halves.
This time, the barrage clearly saw the weapon in Rong Le's hand.
The sword body is exquisite and smooth like a work of art, and it still emits a faint glow in the darkness. The slender weapon is sharp and straight, and it is held in Rong Le's hand, sacred and awe-inspiring.
Glasses took two steps back uncontrollably, sensing a sense of fear from the long sword: "What... is this?"
"This sword has the power to restrain all heretics. It has been a long time since I have needed to take action myself."
Rong Le stroked the sword, his eyes dim, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Fuck..."
"This, this is too cool..."
Huang Mao couldn't help but say what the commentary didn't say: "Where did you get this sword from? If you do this, it won't fall off..."
He didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was clearly conveyed.
Of course, Rong Le's acting skills have dropped dramatically.
He listened to the sound of the prompt that his performance speed was dropping rapidly without changing his expression. Behind him, a wave of ghosts rushed towards them.
"Eat...eat it..." They murmured unconsciously and ran towards the fresh flesh and blood.
The sword, which had not been close to him for a long time, hummed excitedly. Rong Le chuckled softly, "Then it's up to you."
On the other side, Glasses couldn't stand it any longer and gave the order: "Kill them, kill them! Kill them!"
The monsters let out low roars and suddenly pounced towards them!
The next moment, a flash of light passed before my eyes, streaking a bright and cold light in the darkness.
All the monsters in the front were repelled. Rong Le turned her wrist and the sword edge flashed with a very dazzling halo.
Rong Le still had a relaxed smile on her face until this moment: "This level is far from enough."
How... beautiful.
Huangmao stared at Rong Le's figure in a daze, feeling that he seemed so far away that he was out of reach.
The huge damage completely wiped out the wave of monsters. The boy turned around calmly, his hair gently draped on the side of his face, and his dark green headband hung on his shoulders. The lines of his green eyes between his hair were delicate and sharp, appearing hazy in the night.
The long sword in his hand turned into a ray of light and gradually disappeared.
Glasses was so shocked by this huge turn of events that he froze in place, tears streaming from the corners of his mouth.
"Wuwuwu, damn it, you are forcing me to commit a crime!"
"My heart is already with you, when are you going to take it away?"
"What did he do before... This is a built-in skill, right? The first module too. This strength is completely beyond the norm, right?"
"Isn't it more terrifying that Rong Le is better at winning with brainpower?"
"After all, character cards have inherently weak attributes."
