"If prey does not flee when it encounters danger, it is very likely that they mistakenly believe they are the hunter."
Only one S-rank or higher ghost story world will be refreshed each month, and every four months, this ghost story world will definitely be SS-rank. Every year, an SSS-rank ghost story world will appear once.
The passage in front of Jiang Ran leads to this month's SS-level supernatural tale world.
Although he still had the memories of his predecessor in his mind, this was undoubtedly his first time entering an SS-level world!
"Xiao Ran, I'll say it again," Lin Changqing reminded her once more, "If things don't work out, find a way to survive the day and then quit. SS is not like S-rank; the dangers are unpredictable. Staying alive is more important than anything else!"
The last SSS-level talent ghost story master in the Dragon Kingdom died in an SS-level ghost story world. I remember he was almost able to complete the game, but he never expected that all the dangers were hidden on the last day!
In a locked room, there were 18 deadly methods. He dodged the first 17, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the final "door of self-examination."
"Don't worry, Uncle Lin." Jiang Ran smiled. "Although I can't guarantee I'll pass the level, I assure you I'll stay alive!"
[Jiang Ran, a ghost storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, has successfully connected to the SS-level ghost story world, Wolf and Sheep Game, but has not yet cleared it. There have been 3 ghost storytellers who have challenged it before.]
When Jiang Ran entered the world, three people had already arrived before him. Fortunately, this was a team instance, so the rewards would not be reduced.
Small countries don't want to send anyone to participate in SS-level challenges; they would have difficulty even surviving the first day, and they don't want to lose manpower for nothing.
Therefore, such worlds are usually attended by multiple ghost story writers from several internationally renowned countries.
For example, in the Dragon Kingdom, besides Jiang Ran, there were two other people who also participated. They could be called truly trustworthy teammates, since they shared the same goal of victory.
The middle-aged man on the left is named Qi Long, and he has an S-level talent.
The girl on the right is named Jiang Yaoyao, and she has an SS-level talent.
It's clear that China has spared no expense for this SS-level supernatural tale world!
"Wow! You're Brother Jiang Ran? I've actually met you in person!" Jiang Yaoyao poked Jiang Ran with great interest. "The three of us have all gathered high-level talents, and we even have a pretty good order to it."
Jiang Ran hummed in agreement, her attention completely drawn to the person opposite her!
Simply because he's too famous!
White Eagle Nation, SSS-level talent, Arceus!
No one knew what his talent was, because he seemed to have never used it. No matter how difficult the world was, he never displayed any supernatural abilities.
Therefore, many people speculate that he has a hidden talent, such as judging the correctness of rules or predicting future events. Even if he uses such an ability, others will not be able to tell.
Arceus and Jiang Ran exchanged a smile, looking like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
Due to the extremely high difficulty of the game, it took the entire morning to gather 30 people. Among them, not a single person had a talent level lower than A-level, making it a true battle of gods!
There are also some renowned masters, such as Ji Cangshui from the Fire Kingdom and the Whirlpool Birdman from the Fire Kingdom.
The group was in a huge room. Although the world of ghost stories had not yet begun, they could guess some of its contents from the name.
"Wolf and Sheep Game"? That sounds a bit old-fashioned.
Several lines of chalk writing appeared out of thin air on the blackboard in front of Jiang Ran. He knew that the rules had been announced, and like everyone else, he began to read the information.
Rule 1*: Welcome to the Wolf and Sheep Game! Here, you will be divided into two teams to compete. You will win by meeting the winning conditions, but please note the following:
1. From this moment forward, no one may change their talents or leave this world until death or completion of the game;
2. From this moment forward, no one may accept instructions from their own country's observers;
3. Killing people in this world will not disqualify you from completing the game;
4. Please leave the room and go to the forest outside. The host on the stone platform outside will tell you the rules of the game. When he stands on the stone platform, everything he says is true, so please believe him completely.
5. This rule cannot be affected by any talent, including modification or deletion.
This single rule sent chills down everyone's spines.
"So... we can't leave after the first day of clearing the game?"
Are you kidding me?! This has never happened before! Why does such a world exist?!
You have to understand that even 1/10 of the reward from an SS-rank ghost story world is more than 1/2 of the reward from an S-rank ghost story world, which is why they are willing to risk everything to gamble on surviving the first day!
But now we're telling them they can't leave?
Furthermore, even the observers cannot provide them with any hints, which means that they must rely on themselves to survive!
But the most terrifying thing is that even killing someone won't disqualify them from passing the game, which means that this global power struggle is far more terrifying than they imagined!
"Staying here won't do any good. Why don't we go out and find out what the rules are?"
Arceus was the first to stand up and push open the door to go out.
Due to the language barrier, most of the people present could not understand what he was saying, which was quite unfortunate. The ghost story world automatically translates the language and text presented to the ghost story tellers to ensure that they can understand it, but ghost story tellers do not have this ability among themselves.
The rules seem to mention that they will be divided into two teams to compete, which will probably cause communication problems between teammates.
But such rules also give a lot of hope to people's lives. Yes! They themselves may not be very good, but as long as their teammates are good enough, isn't that enough?
If Arceus and Jiang Ran were assigned to the same team, and they were also members of that team... wow, just thinking about it would be awesome!
With trepidation, everyone slowly walked into the forest.
A strange person stood on the stone platform.
He was wearing a plain gray coat and trousers with a huge wolf head printed on them, but his face was covered by a white sheep mask, a symbol of weakness.
Seeing everyone standing in front of him, he opened his arms and said, "Welcome to my game! Everyone here is a player!"
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, get to the rules!"
Kawashiro from the Sakura Country spoke with some impatience, but many people noticed that his legs were trembling. Was this guy scared?
That's true, how many people there weren't afraid?
"Before I explain the rules, please close your eyes. I will tell you my specific identity!"
The host on the stone platform wouldn't lie, so Jiang Ran closed his eyes as instructed. A few seconds later, a scarlet wolf head appeared in his mind!
Your identity is that of a wolf!
