The ghost suddenly pounced towards him, and the cold ghost energy swept over him.
Shi Yu blocked the ghost hand, but the powerful impact knocked him back. The thick smoke coming out of the front of the car instantly enveloped him, and his vision suddenly became dark.
The ghost's five fingers formed into claws and stabbed directly into the black fog.
Shi Yu couldn't see anything and could only hear the rumbling sound of the train as it moved. He was able to dodge it only by relying on his perception ability.
The claw grazed the side of his neck and hit the roof of the car, but there was no blood and the attack missed.
The ghost patrolled the roof of the car, and just after confirming that the other party had already left, he clenched his fist and smashed the roof hard as if to vent his anger.
※
Shi Yu opened her eyes in the bathroom.
It was just a guess originally, but now that I have experienced it myself, I can be sure that the two players whose bodies were crushed into several pieces while lying on the railway tracks were indeed the ones who met the harm in their dreams.
However, as the method became clearer, the original victim criteria became blurred.
First, the two players who were nobles were killed by lying on the railway tracks, and later, Tan Wang got a first-class ticket and almost followed in their footsteps. It is natural to conclude that noble status is a sign of a ghost killing people.
But he was clearly a poor man, so why was he targeted by that ghost?
The cold water rolled down the wall, washing the ground, and the blood swirled into the sink, becoming lighter and lighter in color, and then became clear.
Ji Congyang was away for a little longer this time.
All the things that could be thrown on the car had been thrown away, and this naturally included the medical kit. Although players could use points to purchase them, that was limited to their personal space outside the game, not to mention that the price of healing items was really prohibitive. At least the few players who had just ascended from the lower nine heavens were not prepared.
This reflects the role of the Shangjiutian Guild.
Ji Congyang turned around and ran back with the medical instruments that the remaining temple members had voluntarily offered after they surrendered. Before he could even shout, the door in front of him was pushed open.
He was stunned and raised the thing in his hand: "I asked the people in the temple for it."
Shi Yu stood behind the door, her eyes fell on his hands, and she only took a roll of bandages and a bottle of disinfectant: "Thank you."
Ji Congyang quickly held the door: "Wait, you really don't want any medicine? Not at all?"
"Need not."
"……oh."
Ji Congyang felt a little depressed.
Shi Yu ignored him, closed the door, and tore off a corner of the bandage.
He had a lot of skin injuries on his body, but most of them were just abrasions caused by glass and sticks. The more serious one was the shoulder and abdomen that were hit by the two bullets before, and the bleeding had not stopped.
The truly fatal injuries are in the internal organs, which are invisible to outsiders and only known to yourself.
A message came from the bracelet, warning that the effect of the "Freeze Man" item was on the verge of disappearing.
Shi Yu ignored it. He hooked his fingers on the golden silk thread and took out the two bullets that were left in the body with some effort. He threw them into the sink with a clang, then used disinfectant to clean the blood stains and wrapped the bandages around the wound neatly.
He changed into clean clothes and opened the door again.
After a while, Ji Congyang had recovered from his dispirited state, and when he saw him, he turned into a brave man again: "This way!"
After the fight just now, not only were the fixed tables and chairs in the thirteenth carriage knocked over, but two windows were also broken. It would definitely be impossible to use it again.
The adjacent twelfth carriage was also a dining car. Tan Wang dragged Jiang Ze, who was only breathing his last breath, over, tied him up with a dragon-binding rope and threw him in a corner. He was not afraid that he would die - Jiang Ze was not an unknown person in the upper nine heavens. He had played more games than the number of days he had been in the divine realm. His own physical fitness had been strengthened countless times. To say that he was invulnerable to swords and guns was an understatement.
From this, we can see what level of ability Shi Yu had to have to beat him to the point where he was left with only one breath.
All the remaining players on the train gathered here at this moment. Tan Wang counted them and found that except for the three of them, there was Duan Wenqing who had followed Jiang Ze before, and the one who followed Duan Wenqing to lock them up in the cage. Although the remaining two did not wear anything engraved with the word "Temple", they were all advanced players who had become part of them in the Lower Nine Heavens.
The rain and blood from the previous battlefield gathered into a river, and everyone staying at the scene was naturally affected, but no one was seriously injured; or to be more precise, except for the two people at the center of the battle, only Tan Wang was scratched by shrapnel at the beginning, and the bleeding has stopped by now. As for the rest, apart from being wet, basically no hair was lost.
Like Ji Congyang, he is too lazy to even change his clothes, but he is busy running around helping others to clean up.
Qiao Yan looked at the two people coming over, his gaze fell on the person behind him, and the words he was about to say suddenly stopped in his throat.
Ji Congyang didn't notice the abnormality of his companion, and flew over like a heartless butterfly: "It turns out he is not dead."
"It's not that easy to die."
No matter what, Jiang Ze is a well-known player in the Upper Nine Heavens and a member of the Temple.
Someone once posted a thread in the forum specifically analyzing the props of the administrators in the Temple Guild. The most humane point was the ridiculously strong self-healing ability they all shared - as long as their heads were not chopped off on the spot, even if their hearts were stabbed, they would be able to grow back by themselves before they died.
The most amazing thing is that, so far, everyone has only heard that this incredible ability is possessed by the administrators in the temple, and no one else can obtain it no matter how hard they try to open treasure chests in the mall.
Therefore, players soon speculated that this was actually an item with high-intensity healing abilities that the president of the temple had obtained. Only by joining the temple and becoming an administrator could one be qualified to share this item.
This is how the power of the number one guild in Shangjiutian was created.
Of course, no matter how amazing the outside world said about such a guild, Ji Congyang only had a vague concept of them. Apart from knowing that they should be very powerful, that was all. His attention turned to his hand: "What is this?"
Qiao Yan held a controller in his hand: "Your idol's second-hand prop."
Ji Congyang looked at it for a long time, and finally remembered from the rust on the top of the handle that this was the rusty knife that Shi Yu had used to block bullets before summoning Yuanji Death God. He said in a gloomy voice: "Why did you pick this up?"
Tan Wang came over and shook the glass pillar in his hand: "The boss used it to smash Jiang Ze's head before, remember? I thought that although a part of it was broken, the rest is still intact. Maybe it can still exert some of its power if it is found."
Qiao Yan: “Yeah.”
Ji Congyang: "..."
He recalled the "giant goblet" and "rusty kitchen knife" he had seen in Shi Yu's player backpack. He stared at them for a long while and tried to persuade them, "But these things are broken into pieces like this, they must have been useless for a long time."
Tan Wang was not annoyed at all: "Even if it can't be used, I can find a glass box to display it and it can also help me get some good luck from the boss!"
After hearing this, Ji Congyang fell into a long silence.
Should I tell them?
But what about the divinity of his idol?
The most important thing is that Qiao Yan is usually so smart, but he can also be stupid sometimes! How can I miss this opportunity? !
You call him stupid every day, but in the end you are the fool.
Ji Congyang repeated this three times in his mind. Even though the other party stuffed a rusty blade into his hand, he still suppressed his guilt and did not speak it out. He turned around and asked, "Idol, what are you going to do with this person?"
Shi Yu glanced at Jiang Ze on the ground, then glanced at them.
Everyone in the temple felt a tightness in their hearts and a chill on their backs.
When Tan Wang met his gaze, he was reminded of the time when the other party slaughtered Chi Feng in the doll exhibition hall. He wanted to slide down to his knees on the spot.
There was little change on Qiao Yan's expressionless face, which made the only smiling face of the person next to him look very out of place.
He said, "It's up to you."
"Shall we handle it?" Ji Congyang pointed at the row of people behind him, "What about the remaining players from the temple?"
"It's up to you guys." Shi Yu found a seat in the corner, slowly curled up into a ball, closed his eyes, "Don't bother me."
No matter what happened on their side, the train continued to run, with heavy rain beating against the window frames.
Tan Wang: "Do you think he has returned to normal now?"
Qiao Yan had already moved to the farthest place from Shi Yu in this carriage, and spoke in a low voice: "Do you want to hear the truth? I can't tell."
"Although the tone of his voice and his sleepy habits are no different from before," Tan Wang also changed into a hoodie this time, pulling the drawstring of the hood intermittently, rolling it into a ball, and then loosening it, "but I don't think it's yet."
"Why?"
"Because I saw that he still wanted to kneel."
“…”
"Your friend has a really good attitude."
Qiao Yan did not deny it. After all, among the people present, Ji Congyang was the only one who had seen Shi Yu's condition at that time and still looked normal.
The next second, the protagonist of their conversation suddenly interrupted: "What is Siyu?"
Qiao Yan turned around: "What did you say?"
"Sacrificial Rain." Ji Congyang repeated the words, biting his tongue. "What is that? Do you know?"
Qiao Yan shook his head, but Tan Wang came over at this moment: "Where did you hear this word?"
Ji Congyang said: "My idol mentioned this to me when I came here just now."
Tan Wang asked directly: "What is the specific process?"
Ji Congyang was puzzled: "I asked why it was raining outside all the time, and he told me that because Si Yu was also in this car, the rain would not stop."
Tan Wang's expression suddenly became strange, and after a while he said, "The Rain God is the one in charge of rain in the temple. I don't remember his exact rank, but one of his characteristics is that it will rain non-stop wherever he is."
Ji Congyang was at a loss: "Are you talking about the guild called the Temple in the Ninth Heaven?"
The deity in charge? And the ranking?
Is this their internal management method?
"Not the one they are in." Tan Wang turned his head and glanced at the group of temple members who were as obedient as quails. "When you entered the God's Domain, was there a light ball in your personal space that claimed to be the system administrator? The temple I'm talking about is the one that manages the system, the boss of those light balls."
Ji Congyang: "...Boss?"
Tan Wang thought about the adjectives and said, "You can understand it as follows: the light ball is the employee, the temple is the head office, the divine domain is the branch office, and the Rain God is one of the executives of the head office."
Ji Congyang was stunned for a moment, then he said blankly: "But the scope of 'God's Domain' is definitely larger than 'Temple', right? Why is God's Domain a branch?"
“…”
He was also impressed by this ability to grasp the key points.
Qiao Yan suddenly spoke up: "According to what you said, that 'temple' should be completely superior to the guild in the Upper Nine Heavens. It can be said that it can control the entire divine domain. This existence is completely beyond the technological level of the real human world. Why do you know so much about it?"
"I don't know." Tan Wang turned his head. "I just heard a little bit about it because I worked under their spokesperson for a while in Xia Jiu Tian. Just like you asked me where the 'Sacrificial Rain' that the boss mentioned is, I can't give you an answer. But why are you not surprised to hear this?"
"I have heard of it."
"Where did you hear that?"
"God's Domain Forum." Qiao Yan had a blank expression on his face. "I'm surfing the 12G player space."
Tan Wang: “…”
Ji Congyang: "So you're telling me not to hang around in lawless places and go surfing by myself?"
Qiao Yan pretended not to hear and changed the subject directly: "Besides causing rain wherever the Rain God appears, what other characteristics does he have?"
“Do you really think I’m an encyclopedia?” Tan Wang spread his hands. “I was just an ordinary handyman in the temple of Lower Nine Heavens. Chi Feng should know more. After all, he was once picked by the temple to help raise Gu in Lower Nine Heavens. He must have said something to show off his strength. Otherwise, how could Chi Feng be so cowardly in front of them? If it weren’t for the fact that the name of the Rain God itself is related to rain, I wouldn’t even remember this characteristic.”
"But since the boss said that the Rain God is in this car, he must know." He raised his hand and pointed, "Or we can wait until Jiang Ze wakes up and ask him."
Qiao Yan was silent.
Ji Congyang was quite curious about the temple he mentioned: "You said the temple is in charge of the system, does that mean they are also in charge of the God's Domain? Are these game copies also designed by them? Is it also their decision that we will become players?"
"I don't know, maybe."
"So what exactly do they want to do by pulling us in?"
"That's not something I can know." Tan Wang shook his head. "When the people from the Temple approached Chi Feng, the only task they gave him was to recruit followers and recruit people. They seemed to be consciously expanding the power under their control."
Ji Congyang asked: "Why do they want to recruit so many people?"
Tan Wang was silent for a while: "They said they were recruiting people because they hoped it would be easier to form teams after entering the Nine Days in the future to increase the probability of players completing tasks alive after entering the game."
Ji Congyang was stunned: "They are doing this for us?"
"More than that." Tan Wang said, "I later found out when I was browsing the forum that God's Domain didn't originally have so many messed up functions and permissions. Going back to more than a decade ago when it first appeared, players were truly alone in it, and nine out of ten games would be wiped out. It wasn't until the forum function appeared later that players complained in it, and then God's Domain gradually became like this."
"When we first entered the God's Domain, we had only our own hands. They gave us our natal weapons after they improved the system functions. Later, our natal weapons were not enough to cope with the ever-changing situations, so they created the mall at this time. Every item in it had been through their hands before being used by the players. Even the healing opportunity was specially designed by them later, which is used to directly eliminate all negative states including injuries on the players after they return to the player space from the game copy, just to increase our survival rate in the game."
Ji Congyang blinked blankly: "It sounds like they are actually pretty good? To do this much to save people like us who have nothing to do with us can be considered as doing their best."
Qiao Yan knocked on his forehead expressionlessly: "Do your best? If they really don't want players to die, why did they let us in in the first place?"
Ji Congyang didn’t feel any pain, but was stunned by his question: “It seems so…?”
"It was them who pulled ordinary people into the God's Domain as players without asking for their opinions at the beginning, and it was them who released people back to reality after each game. It was them who forced people to play a game for seven days and go through the gates of hell. It was them who gave out rewards after completing tasks and even gave players points to level up and gradually unlocked team trading permissions. It was them who threw people to death, and it was them who told people that becoming a believer of the Lord God could make their wishes come true and gave them hope."
Qiao Yan sneered, "They are the culprits who caused so many innocent deaths, yet they still want to gain a good reputation for saving all living beings and harvest a wave of idiots who blindly worship them and worship them as gods. Are they treating people like dogs?"
Ji Congyang tugged at his sleeve: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Qiao Yan had a blank expression. "But seeing that you just acted like you really believed they were kind-hearted, I knew their PUA was quite successful. There really was a fool who took the bait."
Ji Congyang: "..."
Why does he keep such a friend without knowing what he is doing?!
