Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

As soon as the little ghost baby appeared, it showed an excited expression, and then, under Qin Shang's sullen gaze, it crawled towards the direction of the sign for Exhibition Hall No. 3.

Seeing this, Qin Shang's face turned green and he was furious;

"Rebellious son! Get back here!"

Damn, that prop with the [Shock] skill was obviously installed at the entrance of the museum.

Damn, why is this little guy climbing into Hall 3?

Qin Shang was furious and was about to throw out the 'Embroidered Shoes of the Bride' to track the little ghost baby, and then give the order to kick its little butt twice, but he heard a series of strange noises coming from the direction where the little ghost baby was crawling.

Hearing the noise, Qin Shang immediately hid back in the shadows.

The look he gave his rebellious son was filled with disappointment.

"When I'm done with this period of time, I'll let you experience what it means for a father to see his son alive. Take out the seven wolves. You little bastard, do you know what it means to follow orders?"

He cursed inwardly twice in frustration, then turned his head to look at the entrance of Hall 3.

The strange rustling noise just now came from there.

In this huge and deserted museum, it was hard to tell what the noise was.

However, the tourists must have left by this point, otherwise they would have been locked in the museum and stayed in the same room with these works of art for the entire night.

The number of security guards standing guard at the door was reduced from two to one, and the museum is not open to the public at night, so the security force is naturally weaker.

But correspondingly, because there are fewer staff members, if an ordinary person is trapped here for a night, it would be difficult to be discovered, unless they create a huge noise...

"Abba..."

The next moment, the little ghost baby stopped crawling and wriggling, staring straight at Exhibition Hall No. 3 at the front of the corridor where the lights had been turned off. There was a hint of confusion and bewilderment in its big, dark, button-like eyes.

Then, he started to say "Aba" "Aba" non-stop as if he was sending some signal, and his little arms waved from time to time...

"This little guy seems to have discovered something... Is he saying hello to someone? No, that's not right. People can't hear strange voices. The little ghost baby also has the most basic intelligence, and he knows it himself. So what is he saying hello to?"

When Qin Shang thought of this, his expression changed slightly.

At the same time, the little ghost baby was completely frozen in place, calling out "Aba" "Aba" in confusion.

Just as Qin Shang was beginning to feel an ominous premonition and was planning to take the ghost baby back.

Suddenly, an idea came to the little ghost baby, and the sound of "Aba" and "Aba" from its mouth changed from curiosity and doubt at the beginning to a bit of fear and terror.

hiss!

The little guy was scared. What did he see?

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes.

I haven't entered the dungeon yet, and it's only evening, not late at night, so it shouldn't be the time when night falls in the Divine Road. In his speculation, since [No. 1 Cultivator's Grudge] is a sealed and contaminated dungeon, it is very likely that this dungeon cannot be opened during the day.

In other words, the elements related to this copy will only be unfolded after satisfying a setting that exists in many copies of the Divine Road: [Night Falls].

Moreover, based on what he had heard from Fang Changpei or from the old man who was arranged by the Zheng family to spread rumors in the museum, based on experience, he judged that the supernatural events related to the Top Ten Weird Stories in Jiangcheng often occurred at night.

Although he hadn't entered the dungeon yet, Qin Shang had already roughly guessed that the world view in this dungeon was most likely at night...

It's not time yet...

At this moment, not far from his ears, about a few dozen meters behind him, a series of more intense rustling sounds were heard. Qin Shang turned his head to look, but still there was nothing.

But he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something was not right.

A strange feeling began to spread in my heart.

His frown deepened a little.

"Abba!"

The next moment, the little ghost baby seemed to be frightened, and the sound changed from surprise at first, then fear to the current sharp cry.

Then Qin Shang heard the sound of short legs stepping on the ground.

The little ghost baby, who was originally crawling on all fours, was frightened by something unknown and stood up and walked upright.

Judging from the direction, it is coming towards Qin Shang, the 'father'.

"Swish..."

There was still a rustling sound, and the distance seemed to be closer to me than the last time. This feeling was a little familiar, very similar to the feeling when I first appeared in the first room in "Chang Teng Ghost School" and was stared at by those mannequins.

But at least there were traces of the mannequin, but the noise that was heard in the museum at this moment could not be found at all. Qin Shang looked around but couldn't find where the noise came from.

“Abba, Abba, ahhhhhhhhhhhh….”

"Don't call me dad, your dad is not dead!"

At this moment, the little ghost baby ran to a place two meters away from Qin Shang and suddenly screamed again. It was this little thing's constant screaming that made Qin Shang feel indescribably upset.

He scolded somewhat unhappily.

But the next second, Qin Shang's body shook.

No, something is wrong... He looked around.

Isn't this place a little too quiet!?

I could clearly hear the BGM of 'My Heart Will Go On' on the radio just now, but now in the blink of an eye, the music stopped without me noticing. If it wasn't so quiet, how could the rustling sound like someone wearing clothes fall so clearly into my ears?

"Swish..."

The next moment, Qin Shang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a creepy chill began to spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Because this time, the faint mosquito-like rubbing sound appeared around him, as if someone was whispering beside him. At the same time, the sharp explosion of the little ghost baby was even more miserable. The little guy's tiny body was trembling wildly in fear, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Shang, as if he wanted to get closer, but something prevented him from getting closer. He was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Seeing this, Qin Shang's Adam's apple rolled, as if he thought of something.

Gulu.

He gritted his teeth and lowered his head to look down at his feet. This look frightened him so much that his pupils suddenly contracted and his eyelids twitched wildly.

On the tile floor, which should have appeared dark and smooth under the lack of light, there was an elongated figure, very long. To be precise, it was not the figure that was long, but his neck that was very long.

The proportions of this shadow's limbs are the same as those of an ordinary person, but its neck seems to have been dragged and stretched several times longer.

The shadow of the neck has fallen seven or eight meters away. Qin Shang is only 1.8 meters tall, so how could his shadow be so long?

What's more, he was completely hiding in the shadows, so there was no light to create a shadow for him.

Besides, it was pitch black all around, and there was no condition to project a human shadow on the ground!

And if you look closely, the long neck in the shadow has strange facial features. The smooth mirror surface of the tile reflects the edges of the facial features, which are decorated with shadows. Although the specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, Qin Shang's intuition tells him... this seems to be a woman.

Gulu.

His Adam's apple slid up and down.

"Wow, Ababa, Aaaaaaaaah!"

At this moment, the little ghost baby started crying.

As a result, the next second, under Qin Shang's astonished gaze, the monster under his feet twisted its neck, and the shadow began to spread towards the little ghost baby.

Oh my god! She's going to attack the little guy...

Qin Shang was horrified when he saw this and immediately summoned "Demon Slayer".

[Behead] Swing out and chop at the feet.

The sharp silver-white blade smashed down, but a feeling of punching cotton came from the hand.

Yes, it was the feeling of hitting cotton, as if his feet were stuck in a puddle of mud instead of stepping on a tile floor.

This blow did not make any sound as imagined.

"Abba!"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shang saw the monster slowly devouring and wrapping the little ghost baby under its feet.

His pupils suddenly contracted as he understood the ghost baby's final meaning.

"Bye, Dad!"

The next moment, Qin Shang's heart suddenly tightened.

The little ghost baby disappeared, vanishing from the spot...

It was as if he was swallowed by something and he lost all connection with the ghost baby.

He opened his mouth, his expression suddenly changed, and he urged the 'Embroidered Shoes of the Bride' to [track] the ghost baby.

But after the embroidered shoes ran a few meters away, they stood blankly at the place where the ghost baby last disappeared.

Keep going in the same place, it's like you have lost your direction.

Qin Shang was shocked again.

This, how is this possible?

[Tracking] But this magical skill can allow me to forcibly lock onto a certain copy, so how can I just spin around in place without any target?

Could it be that the ghost baby died, so it lost its target? ?

Qin Shang's heart trembled, and fear suppressed his emotions. He clenched his fists tightly around "Demon Slayer" but dared not make any sound. Qin Shang now dared not act rashly.

In one encounter, he lost the little ghost baby.

Even now, he still hasn't figured out the specific situation.

At the same time, the shadow of the captain's neck slowly moved towards Qin Shang again, and the movement was accompanied by a rustling sound.

Why, why would they attack the little ghost baby first?

Why didn't he attack me?

Is there any difference between the ghost baby and me?

I'm a player, I'm a human, shouldn't that ghost thing attack me first...

Thinking of the fact that the ghost baby had completely disappeared, Qin Shang was extremely upset.

"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death. This is the first time I've heard of a monster stealing a player's items. I think it's likely that the little ghost baby was brought into the dungeon by this ghost thing..."

The next moment, Qin Shang quickly adjusted his emotions and forced himself to calm down.

Unless you have entered the dungeon, and it just so happens that at this moment the dungeon [No. 1 Monastic Grudge] is still in a [sealed] state, only this damn thing can decide the right to enter and exit the dungeon, so your own 'Embroidered Shoes of the Bride' launched [Tracking] but lost its trace.

Because this ghost thing has no subjective intention of letting the "Bride's Embroidered Shoes" enter the copy, whether to enter the copy is currently decided by it.

"This ghost with a long neck is most likely the strange boss of [No. 1 Xiudaoyuan]!"

Thinking of this, Qin Shang gritted his teeth and moved his feet tentatively.

The group of ghost babies swarming under his feet immediately followed him like a shadow. He was startled and held the "Demon Slayer" tightly. Although he knew that this prop could not have a substantial effect on the ghost thing, holding the "Demon Slayer" tightly still made Qin Shang feel a little more at ease.

He then tried several moves, but no matter what he did, the shadow of the captain's neck would always follow him.

However, there was no thought of attacking him, or rather, that thing actually did not have the ability to attack Qin Shang.

Because as an element in the copy, unless it meets the conditions for opening the copy, this thing itself is still equivalent to being locked in the "shadow projection area". Although it is dusk with the sun setting and it is about to get dark, it is not yet considered [nightfall].

If Qin Shang's initial guess was correct, and the background board in this copy was set at night, then even if this ghost thing wanted to come to reality, it would at least have to meet the objective condition of nightfall.

And according to Qin Shang's observation, as long as the thing starts to move, it will constantly make a rustling sound...

His heart skipped a beat.

With a slide, he moved around and headed straight for Hall 3.

rustling --

The noise behind me was heard again.

Qin Shang's eyelids twitched and he covered his ears and pretended not to hear anything. He put on an expression as if he didn't hear anything and went straight to the "Nun Picture".

During the day, this long-necked ghost obviously has no ability to move, or in other words, no ability to leave the area where the shadow is cast.

Why was he able to emerge from the shadow in the afternoon and evening?

Also, why is there a living person right in front of me?

He didn't attack me, but chose to capture the little ghost baby into the dungeon. This must be related to the shadow cast by "The Nun Picture"...

The next moment, Qin Shang arrived at Hall 3.

After seeing the condition of "The Nun", his expression changed.

The painting was still framed in a glass frame, but the content of the painting had changed dramatically in the dark environment of the museum where all the lights had been turned off after get off work.

The painting no longer depicts a woman in a nun's uniform and a veil standing in front of a Buddhist temple. Instead, it depicts a group of children gathered in front of a tall, castle-like building behind them, raising their hands and laughing at something in the crowd.

The facial features of each child were hidden in half color and half darkness. This color contrast made Qin Shang subconsciously feel a little creepy.

Clearly, there was no nun in the "Nun Picture" at this moment, no Buddhist temple-shaped coffin, and no shadow that looked like just one person but was actually two overlapping figures at the nun's feet. But even though he couldn't see the expressions of the children in the painting clearly, Qin Shang still had the illusion that these children seemed to be harboring malicious intent and swearing at someone who was surrounded in the center of the crowd.

Especially during the day, a little below the center of the picture, is where the nun should be standing.

At this moment, he was right in the center of a circle surrounded by a group of children.

hiss!

A cold wind blew from somewhere, and Qin Shang felt that all the hairs on his body stood on end at this moment.

It was as if the children in the paintings would turn their heads and cast their gazes upon themselves and start criticizing me in the next second!

The content of this painting actually changes at night?

Qin Shang took a deep breath, and then suddenly remembered something Fang Changpei had mentioned.

"Because that woman hanged herself because her reputation was ruined by the nonsense of the child. It was a vengeful spirit with a long neck, who would cut off the tongues of children who kept talking at night and didn't sleep..."

fuck!

I understand, it's the sound!
