Chapter 200: Unable to defeat the True Love Party
If this tactic must be given a name, Lin Xi would like to call it "attacking the old nest directly."
Shen Sangning slowly clasped her hands together. The library, floating in mid-air, seemed to be crushed by two invisible hands. The library had many large panes of glass, which suddenly shattered under the immense force. The shards, twisting into a ball and about to fall, seemed to strike invisible glass, abruptly stopping in mid-air.
The various ghosts within the library also sensed the imminent doom. Reverting to their ghostly forms, they rushed out of the crumbling library building, only to collide with the air wall just as they had with the glass. Their ghostly bodies clung to the air wall, and even with many attacking it, they didn't faze Shen Sang Ning in the slightest.
It was a tough situation for Lin Xi below. Although those ghosts and buildings could not break through the air wall and naturally posed no threat to Lin Xi, their sharp cries and the explosion-like sounds when the buildings were crushed were actually a great test for Lin Xi's ears.
She could only cover her ears and turn her back to try to reduce the discomfort.
A "ka-ka-ba" sound rang out, and Lin Xi guessed that it was Shen Sangning squeezing the entire library into a ball. A moment later, the library was squeezed beyond recognition, truly turning into a ball. Then, Shen Sangning threw it into the place where the library used to be, now a huge, deep pit.
The landing inevitably kicked up dust and compressed air. This wind, carrying clods of earth, flew towards Lin Xi, but was completely blocked by Shen Sang Ning just as it was about to reach Lin Xi. Within the air wall, a swarm of demons danced wildly; outside, Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning were alone.
Lin Xi turned around and looked at the library. The once immaculate building, a masterpiece of modern craftsmanship, had now been reduced to a spherical mass of ruins. Shen Sangning had pressed the air wall even closer. Ghosts were lingering in the gap between the building debris and the air wall, howling miserably.
What a magnificent sight of the Eighteen Levels of Hell! Even the King of Hell would give Chen Sangning a thumbs-up upon seeing it.
However, Lin Xi didn't see the ghost that resembled Xia Cui that Shen Sangning had mentioned before. "That Xia Cui is quite good at hiding. She's remained silent until now." Lin Xi couldn't help but say something, and then speculated, "Could it be that she has sneaked away?!"
If that's the case, can she still lend out the book "History"?
Shen Sangning shook her head. "No, she will definitely come and cause trouble for me. The first rule of this dungeon is to remain quiet and not make any noise. The second rule is not to borrow or steal books. The seventh rule is not to damage books. I've done all of these. There's no reason Xia Cui would let me go."
What Shen Sangning said was absolutely right. As soon as she unlocked the air wall, Xia Cui appeared among the ghosts and rushed towards Shen Sangning. Lin Xi also heard Xia Cui's voice: "What have you done, you bastard?! Ahhh, these books, all these books are gone!"
"This looks too scary..."
Lin Xi said this at this moment. Xia Cui in front of him looked a little too hideous. It was composed of a ball of black silk threads, which were wrapped around the ruined library, like a spider web, holding it up high.
There was a book in its arms. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the "History" that the rules of this copy clearly required to be borrowed.
Lin Xi pulled Shen Sang Ning's sleeve: "Book."
Shen Sangning nodded: “I won’t break it.”
In just two or three sentences, Xia Cui devoured all the ghosts around her. Unfortunately, these guys either screamed or destroyed books while fleeing, which Xia Cui could not forgive. They broke the rules and were naturally eaten by Xia Cui.
Its spider-web-like hair also became stronger.
At this moment, the 1v1 battle between Xia Cui and Shen Sangning began. Ghost battles aren't particularly exciting, unlike the pleasing combat in cartoons or action movies. It's basically just a showdown of skills. This time, the two ghosts had one thing in common—they both had something to protect.
Chen Sang Ning had to protect Lin Xi and not let her be caught or hit by Xia Cui's hair; Xia Cui also had to protect the book in her arms. Seeing that the book was very important to her, she would rather risk being cut by Chen Sang Ning's invisible power than allow the book to be damaged.
But there is one thing that is different between Lin Xi and the book in her arms, that is - Lin Xi has legs and a mouth.
When Xia Cui attacked her, she would run to make it harder for Xia Cui to attack her, and at the same time she would use verbal attacks to shake Xia Cui's faith in the Tao.
"I heard that the committee is a bunch of ghosts who support the main rules, right? But look at yourself, how can what you do seem to support the main rules? Aren't you ashamed? Doesn't the main rule require you to act like a living person? You are not acting at all. If you go out like this, no one will believe that you are a living person!"
At first, Xia Cui didn't care what Lin Xi said, but she was so talkative and talkative that Xia Cui couldn't help but get angry: "What do you know?! Shut up!"
This is exactly what Lin Xi wanted. She was not afraid of Xia Cui getting angry, but she was afraid that Xia Cui would be motionless like a dead person. If she got angry, it would prove that what Lin Xi said hit her hard, and she really cared about this matter. In this case, Lin Xi would definitely not be polite to Xia Cui, and would continue to talk.
"I'm telling you that your committee isn't even trying to protect the rules of the world of ghost stories! You're not even playing the role of real people! And you're not having any fun at all! If I were the one who made the main rules, I'd be so angry I'd crawl out of my grave and punch each of you!"
"You are nothing but a bunch of clowns who distort the main rules to satisfy your desire to continue living! Clowns! All of you clowns!"
Sometimes verbal attacks do work. Under Lin Xi's tireless harassment, Xia Cui actually changed her main target and attacked Lin Xi. Her long, slender hair broke into strands, each one like a needle, piercing towards Lin Xi.
The ghosts' attacks were truly limited, only capable of flinging needles. Just like the little bone from the previous hospital dungeon could only pierce bone spurs. Lin Xi definitely wouldn't do that. If she were Xia Cui, she could just roll a bunch of hair into a ball, throw it in front of the person, and then explode it like a rain of pear blossom needles.
This is the idea behind the early morning bomb.
Fortunately, Lin Xi is not a ghost, otherwise more people would have died.
But Xia Cui was genuinely angry, and Lin Xi was startled and quickly ran back. While Chen Sang Ning was protecting Lin Xi, she also hit Xia Cui again and again. Xia Cui's ears had to endure Lin Xi's verbal attacks and defend against Chen Sang Ning's targeted attacks, so it was inevitable that she was a little stretched.
Then, under Lin Xi's watchful eye, she launched into the second phase. Fighting the boss without following the instructions was dangerous, as it was especially easy to trigger the boss's second phase. Xia Cui opened her mouth, and her mouth was truly wide open, then she lifted the "History" book. Countless black hairs flowed out of her mouth, tightly binding the book and pulling it into her mouth. ⑩
Bad news, key items have now become BOSS evolution materials.
When Lin Xi was surprised, Xia Cui turned into a female figure with black hair wrapped around her. Behind her hair was long hair that she couldn't see the end of, which covered the entire ruins of the library. I mean, it's scary, can you please not do this?
Lin Xi didn't know that Xia Cui, who was considered a relatively rational female ghost before, became more and more crazy because of Lin Xi's verbal provocation. Shen Sang Ning stopped floating and slowly landed in front of Lin Xi, protecting Lin Xi behind her.
Xia Cui completed the second stage of her transformation. She slowly turned around and looked directly at Lin Xi... If she had eyes, she would probably do something like this. However, Xia Cui's eyes were completely covered by her black hair, and her expression was impossible to discern.
Lin Xi knew: "She must be very angry. She's so angry that she's already in the second stage."
Hiding behind Shen Sangning, Lin Xi sighed. Shen Sangning glanced back at Lin Xi and couldn't help but say, "You used to do this a lot when you were playing online games."
Lin Xi looked puzzled: "No, there was no mechanism to challenge the boss through voice chat before."
"It's not about language..." Shen Sang Ning smiled. She and Lin Xi played games together quite a lot. They met online and often went to play dungeons together. Because Lin Xi was rich and had good equipment, he would always take Shen Sang Ning to play with him.
The leader had just begun directing and assigning tasks when Lin Xi accidentally pulled a monster, forcing them to start fighting. The same thing happened when they were fighting the boss. Seeing that the fight was about to enter the second stage, the leader was about to let the nurse recover and then hit the boss's health down, but Lin Xi, because he had a lot of equipment, hit it, causing the boss to quickly enter the second stage.
The same thing happened when she played mobile games later. Even though it was a MOBA game, her funny movements would make the opponents angry and all in on her.
However, the final result cannot be said to be bad, because Lin Xi made an operational mistake. Since she was the boss, the team leader couldn't say anything, but she admitted that she was wrong and paid a large fine. This made everyone in the team smile, and encouraged Lin Xi to come to their team more often and make more mistakes next time.
The same thing happened when she was playing MOBA games. When others came to attack her as a front-line tank, she was wiped out by her own team in one wave. Even her teammates had to praise her for her good performance.
The same is true now. Xia Cui in front of him was so angry that he used a big move at a glance. This can also be regarded as Lin Xi's credit. Shen Sangning no longer hid it. While protecting Lin Xi, she fought with Xia Cui and used a big move.
Xia Cui was visibly shaken by Lin Xi's verbal attack, while Chen Sangning became more determined because Lin Xi was right next to her. The two were originally of similar strength, but one was stronger than the other. After a long war of attrition, Xia Cui was naturally defeated by Chen Sangning.
Shen Sangning didn't kill Xia Cui directly because "History" was still in her stomach.
林溪看着夏璀被揍在地上那副惨样，还要到她跟前嘚瑟几句：“看吧，我说你这种对主规则虚情假意的，肯定打不过真爱党。”
