"Look at you!" Cui Mingyang glared at Luo Bin and swung the rope at him.
Luo Bin chuckled: "Hehe, just kidding."
Once the crosses were finished, almost everyone received one.
At the same time, the clock struck midnight. The next second, a loud chime resounded throughout the entire horror park.
The people in the lobby on the first floor exchanged glances.
It's finally started!
Xiao Jin turned and walked to the window, gazing into the distance through the green trees. She saw bright lights ahead, and could faintly hear music playing.
In an instant, the entire park seemed to come alive.
Xiao Jin also saw many shadowy figures moving back and forth in the amusement park facilities in the distance.
[Ding—Welcome, all experience participants, to the park's major event—'Night of Curses'.]
【Night Parade of One Hundred Demons: Midnight is also a paradise for ghosts and monsters.】
Over the next hour, treasure hunting spots will be randomly scattered throughout the park. Treasure chests contain points, items, and badges; players can search for them themselves. However, beware of the ghosts lurking in the park!
A quest has been launched: players must search for treasure spots within the park to obtain the badge.
The description also states that one should be wary of vengeful ghosts, so it's likely that all the figures currently active in the park are ghosts!
"If that's the case, it'll be very difficult for us to avoid being discovered!" Tong Xiaolu said.
Xiao Jingang had just returned from the window when he heard this and said, "It's getting more and more chaotic outside, and the notice didn't say that the guesthouse is an absolutely safe place."
Xu Qing: "Are you worried that ghosts will find their way here?"
"Hmm, the game won't let such an obvious loophole slip by. I suspect they'll be here soon."
Seeing this, Luo Bin quickly got up, crouched down, and hid by the window. This time, he could see much more clearly than Xiao Jin had just seen.
In the dead of night, with the moon and stars hidden, the dark sky exudes a chilling aura.
All around, there were indistinct tree shadows, eerie whispers in the wind, and the shadowy figures of vengeful ghosts appearing and disappearing in the darkness.
Look closely, and you'll see them either baring their fangs and claws or growling softly, roaming freely in the night with endless resentment and hatred.
Some of these vengeful spirits were clad in tattered, blood-stained clothes with distorted faces; others were mere phantoms with only a pair of blood-red eyes flashing in the darkness.
They are constantly watching and searching for the player's movements, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Luo Bin had already realized that what Xiao Jin had said was true; their search was directed towards the villa area.
"What should we do? Leave?" he asked when he returned.
Xiao Jin was silent for a moment, then stood up: "Let's go!"
"Let's leave first, no matter what. The park is too big, and we don't even know where the treasure is. If there are too many people, it will easily attract evil spirits."
Therefore, everyone decided to split up first.
Furthermore, Xiao Jin also suspected that the number of badges inside the treasure point was limited, and was not proportional to the number of remaining players; it was first-come, first-served.
Everyone else shared the same thought.
Before the ghost could find them, everyone quickly left the villa and scattered in different directions.
…………
Xiao Jin moved alone through the grass on both sides, each step light and cautious.
At the slightest disturbance, she would instantly blend into the surrounding shadows, leaving only a faint, almost imperceptible sound.
The darkness was like a giant curtain, which greatly obstructed the players' vision, but also provided Xiao Jin with perfect cover.
For someone with such a high level of stealth ability, the darkness of night is where Xiao Jin is even more at ease.
However, unlike the tense and cautious state of the other players around him, Xiao Jin appeared unusually calm about this event.
She felt no panic whatsoever, because she had a secret weapon.
Xiao Jin turned around and found a relatively safe corner, leaning against a conspicuous devil mushroom sculpture.
With her eyes fixed on the ghostly figures outside, she took a deep breath and then slowly pulled a strand of long, glossy black hair from her backpack.
The strand of hair shimmered with a mysterious luster under the moonlight, as if it contained some unknown power.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jin set the strand of hair on fire.
As a strange and peculiar smell filled the air, the flames seemed to carry an indescribable aura as well.
The surrounding darkness seemed to deepen, causing an involuntary tremor in one's heart.
Xiao Jin's eyes were fixed on the burning strand of hair, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
[Ghost Hair]
Type: Special Paranormal Category
Number of uses: three
Cooldown time: 24h
Skill: Ignite Ghost Hair. Players can disguise themselves as a vengeful ghost for one hour. Using the ability during this time will break the disguise.
This strand of ghostly hair was obtained by Xiao Jin in the previous supernatural dungeon—Linhai High School, and belonged to the dungeon boss Yu Ling.
It contains a ghostly aura.
The moment the ghost hair was ignited, a countdown began to run on Xiao Jin's player panel, and she herself exuded a more gloomy aura.
With a pale face, Xiao Jin paid a little attention to her expression, especially after she released her killing intent and no longer hid it.
Any vengeful ghost, or even other players, would probably run away the moment they saw Xiao Jin.
Her imposing aura could shatter a person's reason in an instant.
Having successfully become a member of the amusement park, Xiao Jin no longer tried to hide herself this time, but instead swaggered out.
The moment she appeared, the surrounding noise seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, the frolicking ghosts transformed into birds and beasts and scattered with a 'boom'.
"Run! It's terrifying!"
"When did the amusement park hire such a powerful ghost? Judging from its ghostly aura, it's comparable to an Asura."
"What? It's Shura? We're doomed."
For ghosts, low-level vengeful spirits are food for high-level vengeful spirits, so how could they not be afraid?
Xiao Jin had only been there for a few minutes when the entire amusement park knew that a demon had appeared there.
What's even more interesting is that the rumor was overheard by players who were hiding.
Seeing that even ghosts were so frightened, the players' expressions were as if the sky had fallen.
That's it! I'm doomed this time.
Some simply gave up entirely; what's a human compared to a ghost? They figured they could just go out and rob someone, but for the next hour, they wouldn't go out looking for the treasure.
Over here, Xiao Jinming wandered around the amusement park. She searched many places, but she couldn't find a single treasure spot.
Twenty minutes had passed when Xiao Jin stopped to think.
She couldn't keep searching like this. If she hadn't found it herself, it could only mean one thing: the treasure location might not be what she imagined.
I need to change my mindset!
