Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats
#245 - Chapter 245: Deceiving Ghost
Xu Tong initially wanted to open the door in front of him to check the situation inside and see if it was the "home" he was familiar with.
However, a more important matter was before him.
That was, he didn't have the key.
Without a key, there was naturally no way to open the door of the residential building in front of him.
However, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Tong's mind. If this was indeed the building he had been in during his second entry into the instance, then logically speaking, he should have other breakthroughs.
Xu Tong narrowed his eyes and made his way to the familiar door of room 302.
In the second instance, Xu Tong had been ordered by "Mom" to deliver meat to this neighbor.
If the instance content was the same, then this neighbor should also live here.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Tong reached out and gently knocked on the door.
Tap, tap, tap—
Quite some time passed, but there was no movement from behind the door.
Xu Tong tried knocking on the door again, but there was still no movement.
"Could it be my imagination?"
Xu Tong muttered, just as he was about to turn around.
[Your eyes noticed that behind the door, someone is peering at you through the peephole]
Xu Tong: ?
Someone behind the door was peering at him through the peephole?
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Xu Tong knocked on the door again and said, "Hello, is anyone home? I'm the former resident of 305, you should recognize me, right? I delivered meat to you before."
With these words, there was finally some movement from behind the door.
From behind the not-so-soundproof door, Xu Tong heard a familiar voice.
"No... impossible, you, you should already be dead, your whole family was blown up... it has nothing to do with the gas tank I gave you... even if you've become a ghost, you shouldn't be coming after me for my life!"
Sure enough, it's the same instance background!
Confirming this, Xu Tong immediately changed his tactics and said, "Don't worry, I'm alive. I wasn't blown up back then, I escaped by chance. I'm not here to claim your life, I just want to ask you some questions, you don't need to be so nervous..."
Before Xu Tong could finish speaking, the neighbor's excited voice came from behind the door, "No! Impossible! You're lying to me! There have been ghost sightings in Qingcheng Community lately! Everyone says there are deceptive ghosts wandering around the community, you can't fool me! I'm not coming out of the house!"
Damn, why isn't this person falling for it?
Since the neighbor was unwilling to come out of the door, Xu Tong didn't force it, asking through the door, "How about this, I won't ask you to come out. Just answer me like this. Isn't there a bride in our community getting married? I just want to ask, which building and number is the bride in? You can answer this question, right?"
"Bride? Getting married?" The neighbor behind the door chuckled, "What a joke! Qingcheng Community is clearly haunted! Who would get married at this time? You've got the wrong idea!
"Oh, no, wait... I remember that someone did mention a bride getting married before... I thought the wedding was canceled because of the haunting."
The neighbor behind the door was silent for about ten seconds before answering Xu Tong's question, "As long as I answer your question, you won't bother me anymore, right?"
Xu Tong immediately gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, yes, yes, just tell me directly."
"Building 3, 401," the neighbor said, "There's a young girl in 401 of Building 3, who is said to be getting married these days. Go find her yourself, but I think the chances of finding her are pretty small."
"Building 3?" Xu Tong raised an eyebrow and asked, "An old lady downstairs told me it was in Building 2? How did it become Building 3 again?"
"What old lady? I'm the only living person in the entire Qingcheng Community! You must have run into a deceptive ghost!" The neighbor's tone was trembling, seemingly genuinely terrified, "There really are ghosts in the community! It's so scary! Hurry up and leave, whether you're a person or a ghost, don't bother me anymore!"
After saying these words, the neighbor's movements completely disappeared from behind the door, as if they had never been there.
No matter how Xu Tong called out, there was no further movement from behind the door.
After all, the instance introduction didn't mention it, so Xu Tong wouldn't directly believe the neighbor's one-sided statement.
However, the conflicting information from the two was a given fact.
If the bride was really in room 401 of Building 3, then there was a high probability that the old lady was a deceptive ghost.
Without much hesitation, Xu Tong's actions were always extremely quick. He went straight down the stairs and ran towards Building 3.
Going from Building 2 to Building 3 didn't require passing by the old woman's location again. He only needed to go around in a circle, to the back of Building 2, to see the unit door of Building 3.
But, just as Xu Tong went around the side of Building 2, his footsteps suddenly stopped in place.
"I must not be awake..."
Xu Tong specifically rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Focusing his gaze on the gap between the unit buildings of Building 2 and Building 3, Xu Tong saw a sign that was all too familiar to him.
Qingcheng Pharmacy.
Xu Tong remembered very clearly that he had first seen and entered Qingcheng Pharmacy in the Qingcheng Post Office instance.
How could he see Qingcheng Pharmacy in this instance as well?
Was it that this thing had branches everywhere, or was it like a shadow, following him everywhere?
"If it's this instance... I feel like I need to go in and take a look."
There were two very important things in Qingcheng Pharmacy.
One was the medicine cabinet that could exchange anything as long as an equivalent item was given.
The other was the human skin medical record that could prescribe the right medicine according to the effect of the ghost.
The neighbor from 302 had already mentioned that Qingcheng Community had been haunted for a while, and the deceptive ghost was the most rampant among them.
In the Qingcheng Post Office instance, Xu Tong had already seen the power of strong ghosts. In this instance background full of ghosts, Xu Tong still needed to use the ability of the human skin medical record.
The premise was that this Qingcheng Pharmacy was the same one he had seen in the previous instance.
"Let's go in and take a look."
With a bit of curiosity, Xu Tong stepped over the familiar threshold and walked into the pharmacy.
Familiar layout, familiar dimness.
Xu Tong recognized it at a glance, this was definitely the Qingcheng Pharmacy he had entered before.
Even the human skin medical record was lying intact on the desk, waiting for someone to use it.
But, there were still some subtle differences.
Xu Tong narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of Qingcheng Pharmacy. In front of the medicine cabinet that could exchange everything, there was a wreath.
The big word "Rest In Peace" was pasted in the center of the wreath, and there was also a black and white photo attached to it.
It was Xu Tong's obituary photo.
