Jiang Ran twirled the pistol in his hand with satisfaction. As expected of an SSS-level talent, this meant that one bullet could help him defend against a bizarre attack, which gave him much more confidence.
Of course, the pistol in my hand is out of bullets right now, so I have to be cautious.
"But where can we find bullets?"
The description of the talent said that it would randomly refresh in the world, and there were only a few rooms. Jiang Ran was thinking this when the rules for the next day were already displayed on his face.
[Rule 5*: When the time is between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, please water the plants in the study every ten minutes. Remember, you must not mess up the bookshelves.]
[Rule Six: After 9 o'clock, you may browse the books in the bookshelf, but if you see a page with a completely black page, please close the book and put it back in its place within one second, and absolutely do not think about what the book looks like within one minute.]
The study... another locked room!
Jiang Ran had already searched almost every place he could go in order to find the bedroom key, so the study key must not be in the previous room, but could only be in the bedroom!
Jiang Ran opened the bedside table and began searching the room. The rules for the second day had nothing to do with the bedroom, so there wouldn't be any new dangers.
There was still an hour until 8:00, and he had to find the study key within that hour!
At the same time, apart from Sato Hitachi still fast asleep, the ghost storytellers from other countries had all gotten out of bed. The ghost storytellers from three small countries chose to leave, or rather, they came for the one-tenth reward.
The method to clear the first day is clear, and a large number of ghost story writers have once again flooded into this world. However, they are a full day behind in progress and can hardly be considered opponents.
"Wow, what a pleasant surprise."
Jiang Ran weighed the silver-white bullet in his hand, then inserted it into his pistol.
Unexpectedly, the bullets arrived before the key was found. With a gun and bullets, how could they not be confident?
Currently, bullets are not difficult to find, which is good news.
Jiang Ran continued rummaging through drawers and cabinets, but both the bedside table and the wardrobe were mostly empty, with no clothes or other items inside.
When the next cabinet was opened, a rag doll sat quietly inside.
The doll is wearing a cute dress, her blue hair is styled into two ponytails, and she has a large pair of scissors on her back.
Jiang Ran's gaze sharpened, and she subconsciously took a half step back.
The world of ghost stories is not only governed by rules, but also by the random appearance of bizarre creatures, which are called "individuals"!
Even if two ghost story writers are in the same world at the same time, the types of individuals they encounter and the times they encounter are completely different!
70% of the individuals are hostile to humans, 25% are neutral, and only 5% are entirely beneficial to the ghost storyteller.
Fortunately, there are not many individuals that die on sight, less than 1% of the total. Most individuals, although they have malicious intentions, must meet certain conditions.
It can be said that the individual is the biggest variable in the world of ghost stories! And also the lifelong enemy of those who copy homework!
Jiang Ran carefully searched through his predecessor's memories and finally found out what kind of creature it was!
Individual ID 520, codename "Contract Doll", neutral.
As long as you don't touch the contract doll, you can completely pretend it doesn't exist; it's just like an ornament quietly placed there.
But if you pat her on the head, she'll be happy to answer one of your questions, but... there are always trade-offs!
Lin Changqing thought Jiang Ran would ignore it like most ghost story tellers, since the price this thing demanded was different each time, which was too strange.
Witnessed in the live stream, Jiang Ran only pondered for a moment before patting her head, seemingly without considering the consequences at all!
"Brother Jiang hasn't forgotten what kind of monster this is, has he?"
Do you think Brother Jiang is like you?
The number of comments in the live stream increased instantly, with netizens arguing heatedly, but mostly expressing concern!
In the past, most people who traded with this stuff didn't end well!
What kind of intelligence could possibly make Jiang Ran take such a risk?
The doll gave a strange smile, the lines at the corners of her mouth splitting into an exaggerated grin, and blood seeped from inside her body, staining her dress crimson.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats when Jiang Ran slowly spoke: "Do you know where the key to the study is?"
"What's going on, Brother Jiang?! This thing can be found easily, is it really necessary to make such a huge sacrifice?"
"Hahaha! I think this guy from your Dragon Country must have lost his mind. First, he chose a talent that's practically useless, and then he rushed in to die. Tsk tsk, did his IQ drop along with his talent level?"
"Heh, at least he's better than some guys who eat shit upside down."
The comments section was filled with doubts about Jiang Ran. Although most netizens in China were still speaking up for Jiang Ran, they were also filled with incomprehension.
These comments had no effect on Jiang Ran. As he asked his question, the contract doll gave its own answer.
She slowly raised her arm: "The key you want is hidden in the mattress."
He actually went through all that trouble here! He hid it in such a shady place!
Jiang Ran was about to turn around to grab it when her arm was tightly held by the doll!
Turning around, I was met with the doll's eerie face!
"Hehehe, big brother, I'm so hungry—can you find me something to eat? Like...your offal!"
Lin Changqing's face darkened! Oh no, the most dangerous option had been randomly assigned!
Trading with a contract doll might only cost you a finger if you're lucky, or an arm if you're unlucky, but how unlucky do you have to be to lose your life?
Unfortunately, he was just an observer, and his maximum authority was only three prompts. At this moment, no matter how many prompts he gave, it wouldn't save Jiang Ran.
The Dragon Kingdom has finally produced an SSS-level talent—well, okay, it seems to be SS now, whatever! Is such a genius really going to perish here?
He closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight before him.
Leaders from other countries have already started popping champagne, as this scourge that has been keeping them on edge is finally about to kick the bucket!
"Is that all? I thought being number one in progress was amazing, but it's gone by the second day, isn't it?"
The Japanese account was frantically typing away on the keyboard, but when they finally finished typing a short essay and looked up, they were stunned.
Jiang Ran took out the pistol and pressed it against the doll's forehead: "Want something to eat? Do you want some bullets?"
