"They're here!" Xu Qing, who was standing at the door, suddenly shouted.
He pressed his ears against the crack in the door, his facial muscles tense, and his eyes flashing with a cold light. He could clearly hear the approaching sounds of a large number of vengeful ghosts.
Li Qi seemed to want to say something, but upon hearing Xu Qing's call, he swallowed his words back.
He stared intently at the wall, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
I'm sorry, I'll come find you after I'm safely down.
Xiao Jin stood up, the long sword in his hand gleaming faintly in the dim light: "Then let's go."
"Where are we going?" Xu Qing asked instinctively, frowning.
But Xiao Jin didn't even think about it and looked directly at the ceiling: "Go upstairs, to the rooftop. I have a guess." Her tone was decisive and left no room for doubt.
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Xu Qing and the others agreed without hesitation.
Muscular men follow the crowd. After much deliberation, Chen Mingchuan still felt that there was strength in numbers. Even if he didn't want to go to the rooftop, he couldn't just leave by himself!
As for the two NPCs, Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu, they don't care where they go, as long as they can follow Xiao Jin and the others.
Li Qi's lips twitched. What? Does this mean they have a problem with me?
She said going to the rooftop would be fine, and I thought she must be out of her mind.
However, despite his thoughts, Li Qi didn't show it on his face, appearing as if he had no opinion whatsoever.
The group followed their old method: first, they sealed the door to reduce the time it would take for other evil spirits to find them, then they broke through the ceiling and took a shortcut to the sixth floor.
With a deafening roar, a huge hole burst open above their heads, and dust and debris poured down like a storm, blurring their vision and filling the air with choking dust.
However, this time, luck was clearly not on the players' side.
After the hole was dug out, through the billowing dust and blurred vision, the group and the vengeful ghost above them stared at each other in bewilderment. At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
Both sides seemed to be able to sense the question mark above each other's heads!
Xu Qing: Wow~ Surprise!
Luo Bin grinned and winked at Cui Mingyang beside him: What do we do? We've run into the real culprit in this home invasion robbery!
Cui Mingyang: ...
The ghost's figure loomed in and out of sight in the darkness, its eyes as black as an abyss, radiating a chilling aura.
Li Qi felt a chill run down his spine and quickly assessed the situation: the other party was probably a ghost who had already obtained a substitute, so they had no interest in their group.
It wasn't among the enthusiastic residents it had encountered before, so it didn't join the other vengeful ghosts and stayed in its room by itself.
They had no choice but to provoke someone!
The group exchanged glances. No words were needed; what else could they do but fight?
Luo Bin's eyes widened as he thought about it. He flicked his finger, and a pellet filled with water vapor sliced through the air, heading straight for its target with a whooshing sound.
However, even more swift than the water bullets was Xiao Jin's blade.
She flashed like a ghost, her long sword drawing a silver trail in the air, arriving almost simultaneously with the water bullet. The blade flashed, revealing a chilling glint.
The other party's reaction was obviously a beat too slow. Before the ghost could even react, Xiao Jin's blade was already close to its neck, and the chilling aura made the ghost instinctively feel some fear.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Bin and the others quickly followed suit. A group of people taking down one of them was a piece of cake.
The old ghost didn't even get to say his last words before he was killed by everyone! At the end, he even gave Xiao Jin and the others a few points.
"Tsk~"
Three minutes later, a helpless Chen Mingchuan had no choice but to stop.
“There’s something wrong with the walls here. Not only can’t we drill holes in the top, but the sides are the same,” Chen Mingchuan said, tapping on the wall.
Xiao Jin withdrew her hand: "I know, it must be the game's setting. It doesn't allow us to go directly to the rooftop."
"Ha~" Luo Bin opened his mouth and pointed to the door that was being rummaged through: "So you have no choice but to go through that door!"
“That’s right.” Tong Xiaolu nodded, arms crossed. “If we don’t leave now, there will be more and more ghosts at the door.”
Okay then!
There's no need to study tactics anymore, just fight!
As they spoke, Chen Mingchuan and Cui Mingyang removed the props from the door, and the muscular man punched it, smashing the entire door to pieces.
The crowd rushed out instantly and gave the evil spirit blocking the door a good beating.
Xiao Jin's blade flashed like lightning, its long blade slashing continuously across the ghost's body, sending limbs flying with each strike.
Seeing this, Chen Mingchuan and the muscular man quietly moved away from Xiao Jin.
Wow, that's brutal!
Li Qi felt the same way. Just thinking about how he had focused his attention on Xiao Jin when he first entered the game world made him feel a chill down his spine.
Although Xiao Jin was wearing a mask, she hadn't changed her clothes, and her striking presence made it difficult for Li Qi not to recognize her...
After dealing with the vengeful ghosts they had attracted, the group went up to the rooftop.
After closing the gate, Cui Mingyang, who was lagging behind, stuck a talisman on it with his backhand.
He then walked over to Xiao Jin and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Xiao Jin crossed his arms and looked at the ground in front of him: "I'm thinking, what if we destroy the magic array?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Xu Qing was the first to come to her senses: "That's not impossible. I remember you said that the residents in the building want to move around like normal people."
Firstly, they need to find a substitute, and secondly, they need to rely on the effect of the magic array to maintain it.
If the magic array is destroyed, they will naturally lose the energy to move.
Xiao Jin nodded: "Yes, and for a movie to end, it's simply a matter of 'justice' triumphing over 'evil,' so how can destroying the magic array not count!"
As Xiao Jin finished speaking, the system's voice rang in everyone's ears.
[Ding—Congratulations to the player for triggering the completed quest: Destroy the magic circle (0/3). Each destroyed magic circle awards 1000 points.]
"That's really the right idea!" Tong Xiaolu said happily.
All the initial uncertainty vanished after hearing the task assigned by the system.
The muscular man and Chen Mingchuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
See that? 'Mission Completed' means that once this mission is completed, the movie will end, and they can leave!
Xiao Jin stepped forward and stood in front of the magic array: "Very good, let's hurry up and destroy the rooftop first, this is also the easiest place."
Once they start to break the magic array, both Teacher Feng and the vengeful ghosts in the building will definitely know immediately.
Next, players will be blocked by all the vengeful spirits inside the building.
Whether players can survive their frenzied attacks and complete the mission will depend on their skills.
