Horror game, I became the group's favorite after my mind was read

The dark brown soil was gently turned over, and cracks appeared on it, making it look like something was about to come out from underneath.

The villagers and ghost babies who were still struggling had been completely sucked dry, turning into puddles of black water, scattered on the ground.

All of their strange energy penetrated into the tunnel and became nourishment for the being moving beneath the ground.

Why was Rong Lele able to discover this and even find the entrance to the tunnel by following the flow of the strange energy?

Because when she saw the strange aura coming out, she was puzzled. Why, even though there was strange aura, she couldn't see the villagers and ghost babies at all under the effect of the title of [Rule Maintainer]?

She originally thought that it was because they were of a different species, trees, not the monsters defined by the game copy.

But until now, she realized that this was not the case. This situation was mentioned in the information provided by Manager Hei Bai:

If a monster has been contracted by a larger monster, it cannot be seen through by the [Rule Maintainer] unless the [Rule Maintainer] directly sees the contracting party.

So Rong Lele speculated that the villagers and the ghost babies had already been contracted by the real boss behind this copy.

Having confirmed this, it is normal that the player did not get the reminder to kill the boss, because the boss is still hiding in the dark.

"Be careful!" Ono Yingzi keenly noticed the black thing breaking out from the ground and pulled the boy ghost aside.

The moment she touched the boy's ghost, she was stunned but didn't say anything.

But after letting go, she rubbed her hands silently and felt that her palms seemed...warm.

Ono Yingzi always felt that there was something she had not had time to think about, but there was no time, because the one underground had already crawled out completely.

"This...what is this thing..." Even though Ono Yingzi had experienced many copies, she was still a little speechless when she saw this scene.

A thing that looked like a giant sea urchin slowly crawled out of the ground, dark and exuding a deadly aura.

It's about the size of a basketball, and unlike the hard spines of a sea urchin, the spines of this thing are soft.

It was like strands of hair, extending outwards and groping. Wherever it touched the ground, wisps of black smoke appeared. After a hissing sound, the soil that originally carried moisture turned into dry dust, and the green plants that originally grew on the ground quickly dried up.

And every time this "thing" absorbs some nutrients, it grows a little bit bigger.

By the time it approached Rong Lele and the others, it had doubled in size.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about?" Ono Yingzi rushed forward again and pushed away the "boy ghost".

For some reason, after seeing this "sea urchin hair monster", the other party's reaction was obviously a few beats slow, and he was almost touched by the monster's tentacles several times.

"Hello?! Hello!" Ono Yingzi was speechless as she watched the "boy ghost" run away and disappear into the distance.

This boy ghost was still in a daze just now. If she hadn't pushed him away, he would have been entangled to death by now.

But he disappeared in the blink of an eye. The shrine was sealed, where else could he run to?

Xiao Yeyingzi complained in her heart, and seeing the ghost baby also following the boy ghost and trying to escape, she quickly grabbed the ghost baby with her big hand and pulled it in front of her:

"Don't even think about running away! Don't you see that this hair monster is blocking the tunnel? That must be the only exit. If you don't defeat this thing, you can't get out!"

The ghost baby shrank its head, obviously unwilling, but Ono Yingzi lifted it by the neck and stretched it in front of the sea urchin monster. Seeing that the tentacles were about to touch it, the ghost baby had to start fighting back with its fangs and claws.

"Woo, woo, woo, you humans are not human. You need a child like me to protect you."

......For Ono Eiko, this was also a very novel experience. Before entering this copy, she never thought that she would actually cooperate with the monsters.

But it was almost in vain. As soon as the ghost baby's fangs touched the monster's tentacles, countless filaments split out from the tentacles, and like hair, they actively wrapped around the ghost baby's fangs.

"Ugh—" The ghost baby retched, picking out handfuls of hair from its throat. There were more and more of them that had entered its body at some point, and it was unknown.

Upon seeing this, Ono Yingzi quickly pulled up her collar to cover her exposed ear holes and nostrils, and did not dare to speak again for fear that this strange creature would get into her body.

If it really gets into her body, she doesn't have the self-healing physique like the ghost baby, and a handful of hair can take her life.

"Next!" The boy ghost came back with an electric hot pot and oil in his hands, both from the kitchen.

Use fire! Ono Yingzi immediately understood the boy ghost's intention.

I also understood why there were no open flames in this copy except for the candles made of corpse oil, because both the trees and the hair monster were afraid of fire.

I don't know how the boy ghost did it. He actually thought of peeling off the fireproof coating of the electric hot pot wire in such a short time, and then--

However, nothing happened, Rong Lele's plan was stopped by Zhu Xin.

Zhu Xin looked at their embarrassed appearance, lowered her head and stroked her slightly bulging belly, muttering softly:

"I'm sorry, but I have no choice. My child is sick and this is the only way to cure it."

After saying that, she actually stretched out her hand towards the hair monster. The dark hair followed her hand up to her head and finally stopped on her scalp, merging with her original hair.
