Chapter 184: Spirit Exploration Live Room
The expected fight between vengeful spirits was much more exciting than imagined.
One reason why ordinary people are often at a disadvantage when conflicts arise between humans and spirits is that humans cannot control whether their bodies have substance.
But for the vengeful spirit, this is not a problem at all.
So when the fight between many vengeful spirits reached a certain point, Xu Zhiyan exclaimed in amazement as he saw many of them almost intertwined with each other, and some were even stuck in other people's bodies.
"It seems that in terms of hand-to-hand combat, the dead do have an advantage over the living."
In the live broadcast room, the audience who witnessed such a scene for the first time exclaimed that it was awesome. Some recorded the screen, some took screenshots, and spread the news to others.
[Oh——So this is how vengeful spirits fight! ]
[Fuck, look over there, several student ghosts are stuck in the body of a vengeful spirit! Did its hand stick out from someone else's **? ]
[Fuck, I don’t want to think about what the above person said. ]
[Although this group of students are not very good at fighting, they are in large numbers after all, which is awesome. ]
[It's so funny that the opponent is just as bad as them. I guess they have never fought with their own kind before, so their hands and feet are uncoordinated, hahahaha. ]
[But where exactly is this place? Little Million was really scared when he walked back just now.]
[It should be the edge of the dungeon. Don’t you find these student ghosts very strange? In the previous regular city dungeon, there were actually no such spirits. ]
Xu Zhiyan has already considered what the barrage said.
Before crossing the bridge, all the student ghosts were invisible. Even if Yu Xiu did not answer, they were unable to show their figures when attacked, but existed in an unknown form.
After crossing the bridge, the students appeared.
Looking at the melee in front of him and the silent campus behind the street lights, Xu Zhiyan felt that the bridge was most likely the edge of the rule copy.
After taking the hammer handed over by Yu Xiu and looking at the annotations on the prop, Xu Zhiyan shook his head and was not surprised at all.
【Name: Safety Hammer】
[Rank: B]
[Type: Attack]
[Introduction: A hammer that looks ordinary but has decent damage. It can only attack beings that have or have had life (such as animals, plants, corpses, souls, etc.). The damage to non-human creatures is doubled.]
[Usage Notes: No consumption]
[Spiritual Threshold Limit: 10]
The function is OK, but the attack power does not seem to be very high.
This hammer is indeed the key to solving the school bus problem, but it is not for students, but for players.
When the school bus falls into the lake, players can escape through the windows next to the driver's cab and the first row of safety seats, but if the player sitting in the driver's cab does not have the ability to resist the attack of spirits and cannot get the safety hammer, he will most likely drown.
No wonder Yu Xiu looked so bad at the time, the hammer couldn’t break the glass at all.
"Brother Xu, what should we do next?" Yu Xiu was a little nervous.
Xu Zhiyan waved his hand and didn't care.
"Let's talk about it after the fight."
The vengeful spirits on both sides refused to submit to each other, and the melee continued.
Figuring that the group would have to fight for a while longer, Xu Zhiyan simply squatted on the ground and began to concentrate on watching his slug spirit eat.
The slug spirit, which had shriveled up due to not having eaten for a long time, was now not much bigger than a fingernail and was very black, like a large raisin.
Now, more than ten minutes have passed since the slug spirit was summoned to feed. The small black slug has grown a lot bigger, now as long as a finger, and its body has become rounder and fuller, stretching its tentacles in the air.
Looking at the squirming black slug, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but poke the slug's body.
Very soft, a little slippery, icy cold, with a chilly feeling.
This little guy was different from other creatures when eating. The original screaming ghost was transformed into a pool of light-colored transparent liquid by it.
When the pool of liquid had shrunk to almost half its size, it was noticeable that the slug spirit was eating much slower.
Seeing that the slug spirit didn't respond, Xu Zhiyan poked it again.
Now, the slug stopped eating its spiritual meal. It turned around and stared at its owner behind it with its big eyes, who kept disturbing it while eating. It also made a faint sound, as if condemning it.
"Chi! Chi!"
It's so hard to get a bite of food, is it easy?
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan not only did not reflect on himself, but also looked surprised.
"You can still bark? Will you be able to learn to talk when you grow up? Can you understand what I say?" Although he is afraid of dogs, he still likes smart little animals very much.
“…”
The slug spirit's small eyes were filled with despair. It stared at its owner, as if it recognized the person in front of it. It stopped calling out and turned around to continue eating. No matter how Xu Zhiyan poked it, it would not turn back.
Because Xu Zhiyan did not deliberately conceal the existence of the slug spirit, the audience in the live broadcast room knew that this was one of Xu Zhiyan's skills.
Many people began to regret that they didn't have such a good skill.
[Ah——This little thing actually eats spirits! ]
[I give up. It seems that Xiao Baiwan has not been fed all this time! Did you just remember to feed him today? ]
[…Wow, maybe the little millionaire has a big family and a big business, so he has completely forgotten about this little thing! ! ]
[After just one meal, its size has doubled. The next growth will be quite terrifying! This is simply a killer weapon in the supernatural dungeon! ]
Experienced players can already imagine how much of a help the Slug Spirit will be when it grows up. It is a targeted skill.
But what they didn't know was that inside the safe house, Xu Zhiyan had already tried to let the slug spirit bite the monsters in the safe house. Unfortunately, the semi-spiritual monsters in the safe house were all very strong and were not something that the weak slug spirit could eat.
As for poking a slug while it was eating, the audience was so excited that they clenched their fists.
[This hand is too cheap! ! If I were a little slug, I would be so angry! ]
[+1 to the above, this kind of growth skill is a wise one, whoever has it should cherish it well, I think Xiao Baiwan doesn't understand, that's why he is like this.]
[Wow, this little thing keeps eating even after being poked. It smells so good. I previously developed a plant growth skill that is not very useful. It is very difficult to water it. If it is too cold, it will not grow. If it is too hot, it will not grow.]
[Your skill: What? Master looked at me more today? I won’t eat anymore. I’m on a hunger strike!]
After several dozen minutes, the melee came to an end.
Xu Zhiyan was still poking the slug with perseverance.
Because he found that as long as he poked it, the little thing would speed up its eating speed, as if it wanted to finish eating quickly and go back.
"Xu, Brother Xu!"
Yu Xiu looked at the school gate, then at Xu Zhiyan, and finally couldn't help but speak.
Watching the slug spirit quickly finish the last bite and disappear into the air, Xu Zhiyan patted his pants, stood up, and turned to face Rusty City No. 1 Middle School.
"What...hiss, where are the people from the school across the street?"
With just one glance, his brows were tightly furrowed.
His original plan was to wait for the melee to end and then ask these evil spirits what the school was.
But now, there are only fifty or so of his brothers left on the field. The people from the other school have all disappeared, and the students who got off the school bus all looked full and satisfied.
At this moment, Xu Zhiyan realized that no matter how much these student ghosts looked like students, they were no longer human.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Yu Xiu felt a little nervous.
"Brother Xu, I think they, although they eat other ghosts, are generally good ghosts."
For some reason, he was a little worried that Xu Zhiyan would dislike these student ghosts.
Xu Zhiyan replied with a smile.
"fine."
This group of students are very adaptable, so regardless of whether the resentment will disappear after it ends, they should be able to live well.
Soon, the student ghosts came back after packing up.
"We got some memories!"
"I also……"
"This school is abandoned, and there has been no living creature inside for many years!"
"It's a bit dark..."
The students chattered and kept talking about the situation at Rusty City No. 1 Middle School.
It turned out that in the melee just now, a dozen student ghosts discovered that they could actually devour other spirits, so they devoured all the wronged souls that came to fight.
After swallowing the spirit, it gained the other's power and some of its memories.
Xu Zhiyan listened in silence until everyone quieted down, then he slowly opened his mouth to ask.
"So now, do you have any other last wishes?"
The gentle and pleasant voice was particularly abrupt in the darkness.
Under the street lights without wind, it was like a hammer, hitting the hearts of every dead student hard.
Ten years of resentment cannot be eliminated just like that.
Allowing the students to fight was actually to let them vent their anger, but Xu Zhiyan did not expect that this group of students were actually quite fierce and self-taught.
Sure enough, after these words, there was a low sobbing sound.
One after another, suppressed cries came from the student ghosts, and the answer was also given as to why they could not leave.
"There is no way for people who are tainted by the rules to die completely in a world of rules."
A fat boy wearing glasses came out and told Xu Zhiyan some secrets of the city, but the source of his information was the vengeful spirit of Rusty City No. 1 Middle School, so what he knew was not clear.
"In their eyes, the other side of the bridge is the world of rules."
Therefore, even if the people in the city die, they will not really disappear, but will become other beings.
More precisely, the concept of 'death' is different in a regular city.
Xiaopang pushed his glasses up, looking quite calm.
"If we enter the school, we will be completely out of the city of rules." Souls without other obsessions will disappear and enter a new stage.
As for more things, they don’t know.
Xu Zhiyan nodded: "Now there are three paths in front of you: disappear, live in the Rust City School, go back with me, fight for me... No, become my companion."
He gave the choice entirely to the students. After all, if they really wanted to catch them all at once, the number of people would be too large.
The students started a heated discussion again.
Soon everyone decided to see if they had any obsessions before making a choice.
It’s just different from what Xu Zhiyan thought.
He originally thought that these students, whose memories of their parents and family members were already vague, would most likely have no obsessions after losing the threat of exams and death cycles.
Unexpectedly, after more than fifty students entered, only a few spots of light disappeared.
The remaining students stood at the gate of Rusty City No. 1 Middle School like five hundred ducks, chirping and thinking about the future.
Only eight students disappeared after fulfilling their wish.
Of the remaining forty-four students, seven asked to stay in school because they had experienced the joy of devouring other spirits.
A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyan fell into a brief silence as he looked at the thirty-seven high school students of different heights, weights, and genders who were standing in front of him again.
Help……
Why are there so many left!
But the students are very smart.
They don't have many memories anymore and are relatively simple-minded. They took the initiative to offer to help Xu Zhiyan in exchange for compensation.
Because they had to conceal the existence of the safe house, when Xu Zhiyan said that he only had a monster videotape to recycle the props, the student ghosts gave him an idea - everyone squeezed onto the school bus.
Even Xu Zhiyan was shocked when he saw the spirits that had left the rule world and returned to merge themselves with the school bus.
He tried to scoop up a handful of the school bus with a dip net and discovered that this thing already had a monster introduction page!
【Name: Ghost School Bus】
[Level: S]
【Threat: A】
[Note: The school bus merged with the ghosts has a large number of ghosts, but their aggressiveness is average.]
“…”
Damn, is this still possible?
Looking at the level S and threat level A, Xu Zhiyan hesitated for a moment and did not think about it any further.
The monster videotape can only hold A-level monsters, so it should be able to hold S-level monsters. But as long as the students behave themselves in it, it should be fine, right?
To this end, Xu Zhiyan pinched his nose bridge, asked the students to come down, summoned Xiaocui Gu, and recorded bit by bit the rewards that the student ghosts wanted for working for him.
"I want a game console!" This is what the fat boy who just seemed very calm said.
"Can."
Xu Zhiyan was very indulgent about this simple wish.
It is really worthwhile to exchange a vengeful spirit for a game, and the remaining obsessions are also very simple.
"I seem to have been studying all the time, but I really want to have a puppy!"
"No problem! My friend has a very intelligent dog that you might like."
"I want a new pair of glasses."
"Change! Change two pairs!"
"I think……"
Half an hour later, Xu Zhiyan carefully wrote down the wishes of each student and put the ghost school bus into the monster videotape.
Very good, thirty-seven new employees were added.
Thinking that the game live broadcast room was still open, Xu Zhiyan said to the remaining seven students who planned to stay in school.
"My name is Xu Zhiyan. I saved you. I know you are good kids and will definitely remember my kindness." He himself has nothing to do with doing good deeds without leaving a name.
The seven students nodded, looking somewhat confused.
Xu Zhiyan continued.
"You can secretly write down what you want on the note in the little white bone's hand. After we leave, I will buy it for you. In this way, when we meet again next time, I can bring you gifts."
Although it has nothing to do with favors, these students' gratitude to Xu Zhiyan has reached a new level.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Xu Zhiyan cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
"But I'm not sure if I can go to school to find you again, so we need to make a secret agreement."
When someone says the secret code and brings all the gifts that the seven student ghosts want, they can get help from the NPC in the copy of Rusty City No. 1 Middle School.
"Remember, there are many people who know my name, but they are not necessarily all my friends. They may be bad people."
"Only those who communicate with each other through secret codes and bring out gifts are true friends."
The seven students nodded suddenly, and they all thought that Xu Zhiyan was the best person in the world.
When he and his students went to Xiao Cui Gu to get the code, Xu Zhiyan slowly spoke to the air: "I'm asking for the help of seven NPCs from Rusty City No. 1 Middle School. I hope everyone can help me estimate the price."
He has made a perfect plan.
The original purpose of the audience watching the live broadcast, besides entertainment, was to obtain some unknown copy information.
This Rust City No. 1 Middle School looks like a definite copy!
First, earn some points from the student ghosts, and then after saying the secret code, let the student ghosts express in their own way that there is a safe house in this copy. As long as the players find the safe house in the current copy, they can claim the hidden reward.
By then, when the player finds the safe house and the dungeon is over, he can also retrieve the seven student ghosts, thus killing two birds with one stone.
In the live broadcast room, others looked at the curve of the young man's mouth and shouted that the businessman was shameless.
[Fuck! Fuck! I was wondering why Xiao Baiwan didn't capture these seven after he found out that the ghost school bus could hold all the student ghosts.]
[Damn, I already knew that Xiao Baiwan would sell the code to the entire network in the end! ! ]
[Gah! Help from seven dungeon NPCs!!]
[I really want to open Xiao Baiwan's head and see what's inside! ]
[Money!!! I wonder if someone lifted it up and shook it, and all I could hear was the sound of coins ringing! ]
[…So, how much is it? Damn, with this help, it won’t take a minute to pass the level? I can accept 70,000 points for seven NPCs.]
[Seventy thousand? That's too little. I'll give you one hundred thousand.]
[…! No internal competition, woohoo, I have 110,000, please give it to me. ]
[The abacus beads upstairs hit my face. ]
After the last seven students were dealt with, everything was over.
But before Xu Zhiyan could look around to see if he could get some benefits, the street lights on both sides of the road suddenly swayed.
The seven student ghosts seemed to sense something. They returned to the school, shouting at Xu Zhiyan to leave quickly.
"Are you guys coming in?"
"People from the world of rules cannot stay here..."
Before the students could finish their words, the violent street lights began to hit the ground, and the asphalt road swayed like waves.
Xu Zhiyan immediately summoned his electric scooter and started a new round of racing with Yu Xiu.
Sitting in the back seat, the skinny boy waved to the seven ghosts on campus reluctantly: "We have to go back, bye!"
They are players. Forcibly escaping from the copy and entering another copy will only lead to death.
"Hold on tight!"
Feeling the bumpy road, Xu Zhiyan stopped talking nonsense.
The road was twisting and shaking. A small pink electric scooter demonstrated a speed that was not typical of an electric car. The bus drove for a long time, but it sped back in just a few minutes.
Until we crossed the bridge, the whole world became quiet again.
Xu Zhiyan slowed down and walked leisurely into the city, and asked Yu Xiu to check the news in the live broadcast room.
In the live broadcast room of Tanling.
After returning to the regular city, the audience's perspective suddenly changed. This abrupt change almost scared the audience and made the popularity of the ghost-hunting live broadcast room reach a new level.
[Ahhhhhhhhhh! I’m back! I’m actually back! Holy shit!]
[One second I was in the wilderness, and it was a new car. The next second it was an old car, and it was back in the parking lot. I was dead. I couldn’t do it anymore. I fainted.]
[Fuck, the most important thing is the two anchors! ! ]
[Why can they continue to broadcast live as if nothing happened? Aren’t they afraid?]
After Xu Zhiyan came back with the ghost school bus, the live broadcast system determined that the player was still in the ghost exploration location, so it took over the screen again.
The audience was going crazy watching the host who was talking and laughing again.
Especially when they asked the anchors what had just happened, both anchors said "No", "It has always stopped here", "There is no problem~".
Obviously their voices are normal and their tone is appropriate.
But when they thought of the moving images of the school bus that were inserted for several hours in the middle, every viewer felt a chill down their spine.
The number of viewers in Xu Zhiyan's live broadcast room has reached more than 3,000 after the real supernatural incident, and the audience stickiness is very high. Even if his popularity is divided in half, it will still be able to surpass all the players.
The supernatural content continued until Xu Zhiyan drove Yu Xiu back to the parking lot.
After putting away their electric scooters, the two men had already agreed on their statements on the road.
When they returned to where the school bus was parked, the live broadcast screen cut back to the two of them.
Yu Xiu also took off the coat that Xu Zhiyan gave him. He was very dedicated and continued the live broadcast in women's clothing.
"Huh? The car is gone?"
Xu Zhiyan started pretending first.
"It seems, it seems to be really gone."
Yu Xiu's words were rather blunt.
But the scene suddenly switched from the car to the parking lot, and the soul-searching live broadcast room exploded on the spot.
After glancing at his high popularity, which was enough for him to win the second popularity contest, Xu Zhiyan and Yu Xiu said a few more words according to the script, then turned off the live broadcast and prepared to go back to rest.
This trip back and forth, and going to the edge of the copy, made the time completely stretched out, and it was already past four o'clock.
However, considering that the tunnel was nearby, Xu Zhiyan still took Yu Xiu for a walk around the tunnel.
From a distance, the pitch-black tunnel looks like a giant beast with its mouth open.
Before leaving, Xu Zhiyan picked up a business card on the ground.
【Urban Rescue Team】
[Tel: 123——(crossed out)]
The specific phone number at the back was crossed out many times and could not be seen clearly. He remembered that there was a similar advertisement posted outside of Xiucheng No. 1 Middle School.
After putting away the business card, Xu Zhiyan drove Yu Xiu slowly back to his residence.
As soon as he got downstairs, he received a message from Yuan Chi.
[Boss Xu! Help! ]
Just five short words, it seems this guy is in danger.
Xu Zhiyan called up Yuan Chi’s live broadcast, but it was turned off.
But it was almost five o'clock and daybreak was about to begin. He felt that if something dangerous happened, it would most likely be too late.
"It's already late. If you go out, you'll risk your life. Twenty thousand is not worth it..."
Mumbling, Xu Zhiyan typed a reply.
[It’s too late. I won’t accept the order——]
Halfway through typing, new message from Yuan Chi arrived.
[100,000]
Two words even simpler than the previous one, there was not even time to put an exclamation mark.
Xu Zhiyan immediately turned around, gave the key to Yu Xiu, asked him to go back first, and then got on his electric scooter without hesitation. His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, deleting the message he had just sent and typing new content.
【Send me the coordinates】
send.
He actually didn't want to go, but Yuan Chi offered too much.
