Four Corners Game (Four)
There was a sound of heavy objects rolling and falling to the ground downstairs. He Guang turned her head to check the comments, but the comments that she imagined would be mocking her did not appear.
She looked at the empty corridor and suspected that the barrage might have been turned off.
"Why are you guys not talking?"
In fact, she likes barrage very much. It feels like she is chatting with many friends. It is very lively and novel.
【……】
[The anchor is really a magical creature]
[If I didn’t know it was impossible, I would have suspected that the system and the anchor had colluded to make fun of us]
[Anchor, a comedian who was delayed by the supernatural world]
[Anchor, you are such a man]
[I have never seen such a strange live broadcast with such amazing style]
He Guang glanced at the barrage of comments, then turned his gaze to the stairs with satisfaction.
She walked down the stairs slowly, seemingly having forgotten that a male ghost had just been kicked down by her, and she also seemed to have no desire to discuss the sudden silence of the system with the audience behind the screen.
She seemed like a person who always had a clear goal in mind, without any hesitation.
But ten minutes later, when she returned to the third-floor corridor for the third time, she didn't feel so good.
The male ghost who was kicked down by her seemed to fall into a bottomless pit and there was no movement at all.
He Guang thought about it and searched for a word in his mind, "Ghost wall?"
[No more running]
[Is there anyone who knows about this, please give me some advice]
[It is said that swearing or urinating on a boy can work]
[I think the person in front is making things difficult for the anchor]
[Is it too late for me to give a reward to the anchor now? Can she buy weapons if the system is not there? ]
He Guang opened the door of his classroom and walked to the window. "How about I jump out of the window? The system said I have to play the role of a hermit who rescues the hero. It's not my level of competence to be trapped here like this."
【Anchor calm】
[Ghosts are the best at deceiving people. You may think you are on the third floor, but you may be on the top floor.]
[The third floor is also terrible]
[The host looks a bit dangerous here, and the male lead seems to be in even worse condition. I’m worried for the male lead who didn’t show up.]
He Guang frowned, as if thinking about something.
The audience from another time and space already knew that she did not play by the rules, and they were really afraid that she would use the method of jumping off the building to solve the problem, so they hurriedly tried to persuade her again, and several viewers also gave her tips.
The system, which had disappeared for a while, finally spoke again, "Oh, I'm so sorry, host. I was offline just now. Fortunately, you are okay."
"Oh my god, man, you are so capable. There are actually viewers who give you tips, so that I can exchange them for exorcism weapons for you."
"What happened?" He Guang asked.
"Damn it, there's actually magnetic field interference." The system's tone sounded a little serious. "I followed the source of the energy and was interfered with instead. Fortunately, even if my core consciousness is gone, other functions can still operate autonomously."
"I'm glad you're okay." He Guang nodded.
Seeing that she looked calm and not afraid at all, the system couldn't help but ask, "Host, weren't you afraid at all when I wasn't here just now?"
"Afraid?" He Guang repeated, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you won't come back? I believe in you."
System, "No, no...Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
He Guang thought for a moment and said, "An enemy that can be defeated is not worth being afraid of. Don't worry, System-kun. I will definitely fight to the end with all my strength."
【Hahahahahahaha】
[Feeling the system's confusion]
[The anchor is so cute]
[The word fear definitely doesn’t exist in the host’s dictionary]
[The host must be a fan of Chuuniman]
As she spoke, He Guang once again walked down the dark stairs. This time, with the help of the system, she was able to leave the teaching building smoothly.
"An exorcist three-piece set, including a demon-sealing camera, an exorcist flashlight, and a mahogany dagger."
The system happily introduced to her the weapon they had just used to break through the ghost wall. "The exorcist flashlight is one of the most basic exorcist props. Ordinary people can use it. It is cheap and powerful. It is a must-have tool for breaking through the ghost wall and finding the way home. It has a certain exorcist effect. Moreover, the three-piece set is on sale and the price is cheap."
[The system must be very suitable for the work of shopping mall promoters]
[It feels dangerous right from the beginning, is this really okay? ]
[The system is more excited than the anchor, like a child who got a new toy]
[Lying in bed in the middle of the night watching live broadcasts on my phone, I feel like I’m asking for trouble]
"Dear host, I have installed the software of the exorcist flashlight on your phone, so you can use it even when I am not around." The system reminded like a worried old woman, "We need to pick a few more weapons after we go back, and we can exchange them directly when we have points in the future."
He Guang nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The system continued, "Now my friend, I suggest you exchange for a weapon that is easy to carry and has a strong disguise, so that even if you use it in front of others, it will not be easy to be exposed."
As it spoke, it displayed a light screen in front of He Guang, on which were all the cheapest and lowest-level weapons they could afford.
He Guang glanced at it and pointed to a book with a purple cover. "What do you think of this?"
[Pfft, Exorcist Wusan, what the hell? ]
[Five years of college entrance examinations, three years of simulations, I will never forget them even if I turn into ashes]
[It seems that even in parallel space, everyone is suffering the same pain]
【brother】
【Comrades】
You have suffered
【Thank you for your hard work】
[I have a low sense of humor, please stop teasing me]
【Hahahahaha】
The system opened the introduction of Exorcist Wu San: Exorcist Wu San, three years of catching ghosts, five years of exorcism.
Compiled jointly by major exorcist families, it is an excellent teaching material for the training of the next generation of exorcists.
In addition to being able to constantly practice ghost-catching spells and explain ghost-catching cases, it can also be rolled into a barrel shape as a weapon at critical moments, which is very convenient to use.
It is the best choice for traveling at home away from the eyes of ordinary people, and is especially suitable for teenagers who are just getting started.
【……】
[I understand the above, but are you serious about rolling it into a barrel and using it as a weapon?]
[I finally understand that there is no skill in this world that is easy to learn. Think carefully about the difference between reciting exorcism spells and reciting ancient poetry texts.]
[Some people may recite it to catch ghosts, but we recite it to become ghosts]
【Life is boring】
"Is that it, my host?" asked the system.
He Guang responded, "That's it. It's too complicated to learn in a short time."
Then the screen was shining, and He Guang felt a weight in her hand. She looked down and saw that Exorcist Five-Three was lying quietly in her hand.
She flipped through it casually and saw a lot of fill-in-the-blank questions with graffiti signatures in the blanks.
She pulled out the tape from her bag, rolled up the Exorcist Five-Three, and continued walking forward as if she was carrying a stick.
He Guang walked out of the new campus and walked along the path towards the old campus. "Is everyone else in the library now?"
"Only the male protagonist and you haven't arrived yet." The system asked, "So my host, what are you going to do?"
"Let's go find the hero first." He Guang said, "System-kun, have there always been ghosts in our school?"
"Yes, a lot." said the system.
"Which one will it be this time?" He Guang asked puzzledly.
“Data loading…Library.
My God, there are so many deaths in the library of your old campus, and it is as famous as the haunted house outside. The most famous case was twelve years ago, when a girl was stabbed more than 20 times by another boy in the open space behind the library.
It is said that they were childhood sweethearts, but the boy became mentally abnormal and wanted to monopolize this lively and popular childhood sweetheart.
The library seems to have been haunted since then.”
"Could the ghost be him?" asked He Guang.
"It is very likely that the source of hauntings in the world of general novels is often related to the most popular and famous legends." The system answered seriously.
"Why did you choose us this time out of so many people in the school? Were those who died in our school before just unlucky, or was there some other reason?" He Guang thought seriously for a while before asking.
"Some are just unlucky, and some are just courting death. Most of the time, it can only be said that the plot has bound the other characters." The system said, "In your human terms, it is fate."
"Fate?" He Guang lowered his head and smiled for some reason.
[Fuck fate! I’m also a novelist, and I always feel that I should be more careful about the fate of my characters in the future.]
[Same, I am guilty]
[My son, I’m sorry]
There are large areas of bungalows in the old campus, and the blue-painted iron gates have long been eroded by wind and rain and have become peeling and rusting.
The broken glass windows looked like a monster's huge mouth in the dark, swallowing all the light.
As He Guang approached, the full picture of the old campus was presented to the audience in another time and space, and the system was particularly considerate to adjust the picture quality for them.
[The old campus and the new campus are really two different worlds]
[This is probably the difference between campus romance and campus supernatural middle school, right? ]
[The former is like a palace, while the latter is like a horror film set]
"The school doesn't normally allow students to enter." He Guang looked around the old campus, hoping to catch the poor male protagonist, "This is my first time here."
"It doesn't look like they plan to demolish it." The system sighed. "Maybe this is just the damn plot."
And it may not be useful even if it is removed.
He Guang asked, "System-kun, can you tell me about the library?"
The system said, "There is not much detailed information. What happened 20 years ago started and ended very quickly." It read a paragraph from the media that reported the incident at the time, "He invited his childhood sweetheart to an open space and stabbed her more than 20 times. Many students saw it at the time. After killing his childhood sweetheart, she also stabbed her throat with a knife."
“This kind of death…” He Guang crossed his arms, “It also requires perseverance.”
"Unbelievable, host, are you praising the murderer?" asked the system.
"Not really. Death is a very painful thing." He Guang raised his head. "I just think that not everyone can be so cruel, whether to others or to oneself. But no matter what the reason is, it is unforgivable to hurt your friends."
The system did not respond for a while. The night wind from the old campus started to blow the corners of He Guang's clothes. Her calmness became unfathomable at this moment.
[Pretending to be cool is like the wind, always with me]
[To be honest, although the anchor is naughty, she is not as brave as a child]
