There is always such a kind of people, they are born to be the nemesis of ghosts.
—The kind that pissed people off.
Geng Qinghe broke out in cold sweats one after another, staring at the deadlocked situation in front of him without blinking, and then looked at the slender ghost's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he was more sure of his thoughts.
He... let's just let him feel at ease for the time being, don't add to the chaos.
The tie in Lin You's hand was still hanging directly above the flames, and it could fall into the fire as soon as he let go. On the other side, the tentacles were still hanging there motionless, but if he wanted to, he could stab the heart of the person next to him at any time.
"Well," Lin You suggested unhurriedly, "I'll give you this thing, and you let it go in exchange?"
The slender ghost stared at her and nodded almost invisibly.
It was agreed, and Lin You didn't get up directly. She picked and picked a burning but not too hot firewood from the fireplace, and lifted it to the same height as the tie.
When she walked over, she winked at Jian Mingjia from the corner of her eye.
The tacit understanding of many years is not built, Jian Mingjia then turned his eyes away.
Lin You went around and stood still, and when the slender ghost raised his knee-length arm, she also handed over the crumpled tie.
Mishaps happen only in an instant.
——Just a second before the other party's slender fingers were about to touch her, she suddenly retracted her hand, allowing him to catch him.
With the other hand, Lin You threw away the firewood and yanked towards Jian Mingjia. The latter had been mentally prepared for a long time, and took advantage of the situation to turn over and escape the flames caused by the firewood on the carpet.
At this moment, with the clicking sound of the trembling eardrum, a gap was made by the tentacle where Jian Mingjia was originally - if she didn't get out of the way in time, she would be the one who was torn apart at this moment.
Lin You looked coldly at the broken wooden floor, and she knew how it was possible for a boss of this level to make a good deal.
Not to mention the slender ghost with such a wicked personality, nine out of ten it is with the idea of destroying them as soon as they get something.
The slender ghost who had planned his wishful thinking never expected that he would be turned around by a little girl, he—
He exploded.
Seeing the tentacles attacking frantically, Jian Mingjia frantically dodged, Lin You shouted in between dodging: "Grab it!"
Geng Qinghe, who had been staying by the side, didn't dare to act rashly at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly had a direction. He gritted his teeth fiercely, and desperately hugged the tentacles that were smashing down on his head and face.
He was the farthest away, and only one tentacle was attacking him at this moment—the others were all angrily smashing towards the other two—Geng Qinghe just managed to control it.
Not caring about the bloodstains that were swept out on his face and arms, he was quick to wit, and he ran and thumped and grabbed it and wrapped it around the stair railing twice.
Even though the fire spread, Geng Qinghe didn't dare to move half a step, and pressed the tentacle with his body weight, no matter how hard it struggled, he couldn't break free.
In this way, it is difficult for the thin and long ghost to run even if it wants to run.
"Wait a moment."
Lin You spoke suddenly.
Before she finished her sentence, all the tentacles formed by the black mist stopped moving at the same time. The slender ghost turned its head and stared at the tie that had fallen from her grasping palm.
"Did you forget that this is still in my hand?"
"Don't tell me you can't see that we have the upper hand now," Lin You said with a smile, "Anyway, the worst thing is that we all end up together, how about we talk about it?"
Mrs. Davis, who had been ignored by everyone, had long been crying and escaping through the broken floor-to-ceiling windows. The flames burned the entire carpet, and then ignited the furniture. In the scalding heat, the town police station could be heard sounding the siren because of the farce here.
Even if he could escape, he would be seriously injured, let alone fight against the whole town.
"This time it's a serious deal."
Lin You is serious.
"I'll give it back to you," she said, "you come with me."
"What's the point of staying in a place the size of a palm? It's much more interesting outside than here. At least you can believe me on this point—ah, by the way, there are many other ghosts. Don't you have any interest?"
The slender ghost fell silent as early as when she was threatening her with the tie. After a long silence, a gap finally opened on her blank face again.
The gap widened and formed a twisted arc.
Jian Mingjia: "... what do you mean?"
Lin You let out a "huh".
"I guess..." she said, "he wanted to see their luck."
[Congratulations, the B-level dungeon "HIDE AND SEEK" is complete.]
[Your performance in this dungeon has been judged as -S.]
After exiting the dungeon and returning to the main interface, Lin You, as the captain who pulled them into the team, directly turned on the team voice, and Geng Qinghe's voice came from the other end of the light screen.
"I'm an A again," he said. "What about you?"
"Oh, me too."
Jian Mingjia replied: "You don't need to ask about the rest, we both get A, and she must have been appointed S."
Lin You: "..."
"No, no, this is not important to me now," she said solemnly, "The point is that I am also a person with an SR card now! SR!"
In life! first slide! SR card!
[Name: Slender Ghost]
[Card number: 015]
[Level: SR]
[Remarks: No one knows where he came from. Called to come to Playa Town by the tie left from the last appearance, the token carries part of the power, but because it has been buried in the soil for almost a year, after getting back the dirty tie, it may be too concerned about hygiene . PS. There are many identical suits. In addition, after a certain incident, she hated bow ties very much.]
Lin You: "..."
cough.
Seeing the last sentence, as one of the main criminals, she coughed guiltily.
"The slender ghost is an SR." Jian Mingjia said thoughtfully, "Then can it go any further? What could it be, an SSR?"
Geng Qinghe: "... I can no longer imagine what level of hell SSR is."
No, thinking about it this way, the guy who can get the SSR card is more terrifying, right? ?
"Your profession is quite interesting, Youyou."
Jian Mingjia sighed: "Look at me, I'm a doctor anyway, and I'm useless. Just now I was thinking about whether I could try to use it on Xiao Geng's scratches later, but it turned out that I passed the level directly."
"It's okay," Lin You reassured, "I didn't try this copy, so I'll use it next time if I can't keep it all."
Jian Mingjia: "..."
Although it sounds comforting, what's the matter with the full FLAG visual sense? !
"Ah yes," Lin You said, "Speaking of which, what are you doing now? I'm alone at home, it doesn't matter anyway, continue or break up?"
"I will continue!"
Jian Mingjia gritted her teeth.
"I'm really depressed about resigning, so of course I have to choose to play games at this time."
Geng Qinghe: "When I'm idle, I'm idle..."
"Understood." Lin You continued, she calculated the time, and the official eight hours is probably just enough for them to enter the instance again, "Then let's arrange it again?"
"OK."
"I have no opinion."
Familiar cooperation mode, familiar prompt sound.
[The match is successful.]
[You are about to enter the B-level copy "Puppet House" - countdown, ten, nine...]
This time it's still a B-level dungeon, Lin You thought, it seems that just getting an S-level judgment is not enough to upgrade.
There is still an S-level copy at the top, she can't help but look forward to it.
Might be able to get SSR there.
With the soft leather seat under her body, Lin You blinked. In her gradually clear vision, the first thing she saw was the steering wheel in front of her—is she in the driver's seat this time
"What's the situation?" Jian Mingjia sat in the co-driver next to him blankly, "...where is this going?"
"I have navigation here."
Lin You picked up the mobile phone next to the dashboard, and it showed that it was less than one kilometer away from the destination, "It seems to be going to another town."
Geng Qinghe: "Huh?!"
"Then what..." A strange voice interjected, "Do you know each other?"
Only then did the three of them realize that there was still one person sitting in the car.
It seems that this is a four-person book.
"Sorry for not noticing."
Lin You laughed, "Yes, we played together, what's your name?"
"My name is Liao Tong." The passer-by teammate said, "Who are you?"
After they introduced his name one by one, Geng Qinghe found a folder next to his seat, which contained a copy of the will and some inheritance documents.
"Sister You," he changed his address very consciously, "this is your name on it."
Lin You: "...huh?"
She took the transparent folder and actually saw her name on it. The content is about a distant relative who passed away and left all the property under his name to her, including a house in this town.
It seems that her role setting this time is inherited from the past, and other people also play the role of accompanying her.
If the house was haunted, she, the heir, was the easiest to target.
"It was you last time," Jian Mingjia said in a sympathetic tone, "this time it's you again, the chosen one."
Lin You shrugged—is it her fault
Passerby teammates clearly misunderstood the object of her sympathy.
"it's okay no problem."
Liao Tong tried to comfort him and said, "We are all here, if the ghost finds us, we will help you find a solution."
Jian Ming Jiaxin said that ghosts should not be afraid of her.
"Thank you in advance." Lin You replied with a smile, "However, there is still a distance from the town, how do we get there?"
"Didn't you learn to get a driver's license?" Jian Mingjia asked.
"It's been three years, how can I usually have a chance to get started?"
Lin You turned the steering wheel, "It's not impossible for me to drive, as long as you are not afraid that I will drive the car into a ditch—"
Everyone: "..."
"I'll come, I'll come," Liao Tong said hastily, "I drive to work!"
After changing the position, the car finally started slowly again.
The location of this rural town is quite out of the way, but the roads are well maintained. They drove steadily all the way into the town, and the buildings they entered were very ordinary buildings, except for one thing that was very strange.
"how… "
Geng Qinghe hesitated: "Is there no one on the street?"
Not to mention the outer suburbs at the beginning, even the bustling business district they are walking through now, where there are many shops, can't see a single person. It makes people suspect that they have come to a dead city.
It was disconcertingly empty.
Lin You: "...get out of the car and take a look?"
The car that accommodated four people pulled up slowly on the side of the road, and Lin You, who had shifted to the back seat, opened the door first.
She walked to the window of a shop in two or three steps, and the glass was covered with a thin layer of dust. After wiping off the dust on it, Lin You looked inside.
If I really couldn't see anyone there, if I had to say something, there was a puppet in the place where the cashier should be.
The puppet is old-fashioned, with bright red lips, plastic eyes that stare straight ahead, and wooden hands and feet that sit stiffly human-like next to the cash register.
Under Lin You's gaze, it turned its head towards her abruptly.
The corners of the carved mouth curved upward strangely, as if smiling.
Lin You: "!!!"
new card? !
