The author's diary of ghost stories

Zhuang Wu (the martial arts instructor met in the Rabbit game) didn't understand.

Why are things like this?

He was obviously just hiding in his room and sleeping.

Zhuang Wu looked at the green poisonous gas slowly seeping in from the crack in the door, and his face gradually became serious.

Just by smelling it from a distance, he smelled a terrible stench that made him suffocate.

It was like all the stench in the world had been combined and left to rot for a hundred days.

Just by smelling it from afar, Zhuang Wu was so sick that he lost all appetite.

Fortunately, he had already eaten, otherwise he would have vomited in the stench.

And this is just a long-distance sniff. If the green poisonous gas spreads over, he will be stunk to death even if the poisonous gas is not poisonous.

With this kind of smell...

Not a good thing at all.

But where did this come from?

He had been living in the apartment building for more than a week and had never had anything like this happen before.

Aren't the guards in this apartment building those pyrotechnicians?

When did this kind of monster that could release poisonous gas come again?

His alienated professional ability includes breath concentration, which is why he lives in this apartment building unscrupulously.

As long as you have some ability to conceal your aura, you can live comfortably in this apartment building, because the fireworks ghosts are usually very domineering, and they do not allow other T1 level monsters to appear in their territory.

Looking at this battle now, the source gradient level of these poisonous gases is not low at all.

Zhuang Wu sighed. It was like this last time in the rabbit game. Things suddenly changed when he woke up. But last time he had a trainer to help him, this time he had to rely on himself.

He walked into the bathroom, wetted all the towels in the bathroom with water, covered his mouth and nose with one, and used the remaining wet towels to block the cracks in the door to delay the poisonous gas from invading the room.

Now we must first confirm whether the poisonous gas spreads upward from the floors below or downwards from the floors above, so as to determine whether we should run to the upper floors or to the lower floors.

Zhuang Wu thought for a while and quickly came up with a solution.

He walked to the window and opened the thick curtains, and then controlled himself not to look at the moon.

It doesn't matter if you are exposed to the moonlight, as long as you don't look up at the moon.

[Rope Man]: Use physical energy to create a rope that suits the state in your heart. The length and thickness of the rope are related to the degree of physical consumption. Note: The rope at the manufacturing site must be a rope within the scope of ordinary people's cognition.

This is a stamp he obtained in the last dungeon. The stamp [Rope Man] is more useful than imagined.

In many cases, having such a suitable rope will save a lot of time and energy, so he has been using it until now.

He tied the rope to the window sill and glanced down.

Outside the apartment building is a forbidden area for players. There are corpses kowtowing everywhere, and it is completely impossible to set foot on it.

They were all headless corpses. Their clothes remained inexplicably neat. There were neat fractures on their necks, only connected with some dried flesh, but their heads were missing.

Therefore, it is said that it is kowtow, which is just lowering the neck and letting the non-existent head hit the ground.

However, they can make a "bang bang" sound as they kowtow. This is why Zhuang Wu thinks they are kowtowing.

In fact, he didn't kowtow to the end, but he could keep making the sound of kowtow.

Zhuang Wu couldn't figure out the reason, and he didn't bother to think about it.

This dungeon was more difficult than he thought, and so far he had not been able to find a suitable way to leave the dungeon.

Make sure you survive first, maybe there will be a master who can solve the root cause of the ghost story while you are still alive, and then take away all the players in the dungeon together.

Thinking of this, he suddenly missed the trainer.

The tamer of the mighty man, the tamer of all sentient beings.

Zhuang Wu lowered the rope, and then slid the rope all the way down. Every time he reached a floor, he would lean against the window, open the window, and then draw back the curtains to see what was going on in the room.

Starting from the fourth floor, to the third floor, to the second floor.

Zhuang Wu stopped. Based on his recent exploration, he could find that the green poisonous gas content in the lower-floor rooms was higher. This showed that the poisonous gases were transmitted upward from the floors below. They had more time to penetrate into the lower-floor rooms, so it was causing such a situation.

In other words, if you want to escape these poisonous gases, you have to go to the top.

Zhuang Wu made a judgment, climbed the rope back to his room, put on simple equipment and started climbing up. This was not his first time climbing a water pipe upstairs, so he was familiar with these things.

Soon he arrived at the seventh floor, and he noticed that there seemed to be no stench in the rooms on the seventh floor.

Did it stop when it spread to the seventh floor?

He violently opened the window and broke into the room.

In this copy, there is no need to worry about destroying the scene, because every once in a while, players will look up at the moon, borrow strength from the moon to overcome difficulties, and then go back in time.

Sooner or later everything will return to the way it was before.

This is also the reason why pyrotechnic ghosts trample on the ground and destroy apartment buildings without restraint. The apartment buildings are protected by the moon and will not collapse. This kind of petty destruction will be retroactive in time.

Zhuang Wu broke into the room cautiously. He tried to keep his footsteps as light as possible, but he still woke up the monster sleeping in the room.

The lucky cat on the counter lit up its red eyes, and its swaying hands detached from its body and flew straight towards Zhuang Wu.

"Wealth, Wealth, Wealth, Wealth -" the Lucky Cat's mouth made a mechanical sound, the red light in its eyes became brighter, and some veins similar to blood vessels grew on the broken wrist of the human hand, forming a network. Surrounded towards Zhuang Wu.

"Damn it, it's this damn thing again."

Zhuang Wu has lived in this apartment building for a while, and is naturally familiar with T3 and even T2 lucky cats. He hurriedly ducked away from human hands, not wanting to be touched by human hands.

He also has a very high physical fitness bonus. He took out a two-handed halberd from the inventory, stabbed forward to cut the blood vessels of the human hand, then slipped through the broken mesh hole and ran away quickly.

"Wealth!" The voice of the lucky cat suddenly sounded in Zhuang Wu's ears. Zhuang Wu felt his head was hit hard by something, and then there was severe pain in his hand, as if something was cutting his wrist. .

"Ping——" His hand was unable to grasp the handle of the halberd due to the intense pain, and he almost dropped the halberd to the ground.

Still have the ability to disarm?

None of the Lucky Cats I've met before have shown this ability.

However, with his skills, he would have no problem escaping from this man's hand. He didn't want to be caught by this man's hand, so he ran quickly towards the door, constantly twisting and making various anti-human movements to avoid After a manual pursuit, he finally unscrewed the door handle and staggered into the corridor.

"Huh?" As soon as he opened the door, Zhuang Wu saw a man squatting in the corridor. He was studying a clear red pebble. From time to time, he would put it to his mouth and take a breath, and then wipe the smooth surface of the stone with his sleeve. .

"Hurry up! There's a monster!" Zhuang Wu ran in the direction of the man, and when he got closer, he recognized the man.

Tamer? !

"Ah!" Li Huachao turned around and saw Zhuang Wu, with a little surprise on his face, "Isn't this our second assassin?"

He asked directly: "When were you born?"

At this time, Zhuang Wu was about to run in front of Li Huachao. He was stunned by Li Huachao's question, but he still subconsciously replied: "What happened in 1995?"

"1995..." Li Huachao entered something on his mobile phone. The content displayed on the mobile phone made him happy, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "In 1995, Yihai's fate, mountain fire, little green pig, it's you. Got it!"

Naturally, the software he opened on his mobile phone was "Tiantian Jili", and he also searched for people's birth dates and horoscopes.

There is no other reason, it is naturally the need of this Huoyao Stone.

Only after Li Huachao actually experimented did he realize that this thing actually requires someone with a fire zodiac sign to use it, and it also consumes something...

Merit value?

God knows how to obtain this merit value?

He made the lucky cat coil up into a shape like a wooden fish, and then knocked it with a small hammer. In short, he didn't see any hint of increasing the merit value.

Of course, he is now one step closer to his goal.

At least I have found the person who is born under the sign of Fire, and what’s even better is that this person is an acquaintance.

Well, we are acquaintances, and we will become more familiar in the future.

Li Huachao thought firmly in his heart.

"Why are you asking this? No, a monster is catching up!" Zhuang Wu was also stunned by Li Huachao's question, and then he walked past him quickly without stopping.

"Hey, hey, don't go." Li Huachao pulled Zhuang Wu. He glanced at the fortune-seeking hand rushing towards him, then let go of Zhuang Wu's hand, and grabbed the fortune-seeking hand and placed it next to him. Cai Mao then looked at Zhuang Wudao, "Don't leave yet, I have something to ask you for help."

"Huh? Eh? Huh?" Zhuang Wu was stunned by the trainer's smooth movements. He pointed at the fortune-seeking hand that was following him just now, and then looked at the fortune-seeking hand next to Li Huachao. Cat, for a moment, was somewhat doubtful about life.

what's the situation?

Why is it suddenly safe?

monster……

Um?

Zhuang Wu still didn't understand.

Looking at the room we just came out of, there is a Lucky Cat standing there at the door.

It looked silently at the two people in the distance, then at the lucky cat and a tall ghost bride next to the two people, and was silent for a moment.

The red light in his eyes also dissipated.

At this time, it looked so lonely and lost.

What I had been worrying about happened.

Their clan is in trouble.

"Hey, forget it, come here and take a look first." Li Huachao waved his hand, took out the flaming stone just now and waved it in front of Zhuang Wu, "Do you know this thing?"

"This..." Zhuang Wu looked at the gem and was slightly stunned. He felt that this thing looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it at all for a while.

"It's okay if you don't know me." Li Huachao nodded, and then pressed the fire stone onto Zhuang Wu's hand.

But in the middle of the movement of his hand, he stopped again, thought for a moment, and turned to press the hand that Lucky Cat had just obtained.

It’s better not to do the experiment directly with an acquaintance. Try it with Lucky Cat first.

The lucky cat had just received a new fortune-making hand, and was naturally overjoyed. However, before the fortune-making hand was warmed up, it saw Li Huachao coming over with the fire stone.

"Wait!" It screamed in panic, but it was still too late, and the fire stone was smoothly integrated into its fortune-seeking hand.

"Wow——"

Flames rise.

Scorch marks quickly appeared on the surface of the human hand, and faint lines of flames emerged.

Then the scorch marks continued to peel off, burning the hand completely in a short time.

But the Fire Stone is still there, still emitting light.

Lucky Cat:"……"

Zhuang Wu: "...?"

Did you just want to put it in my hand?

The lucky cat also looked at the human hand that was found and lost again, and wanted to cry without tears.

Why is this person like this?

Did you agree to find a hand for it?

It just connected this human hand online!

"This thing..." Lucky Cat sighed faintly, "It is very lethal to things with strong ghost auras. We often need to expel them from the body quickly, otherwise the body will be burned like this."

"Then why can't you get out? Is it because you are too weak?" Li Huachao was confused.

"Because I just got it, and I haven't had time to establish a deep connection yet!" The Lucky Cat's words were full of resentment, and it didn't know what evil it had done.

Li Huachao touched his chin: "Is that so? Does that mean it can be used by Erqi?"

Zhuang Wu silently put his hands into his trouser pockets. He had already remembered what it was.

This thing is the stone on the Pyrotechnic Ghost!

But this stone...

Don't you have to hunt the fireworks ghost to get it?

And they must face the large group of fireworks ghosts. If they kill one of the fireworks ghosts, they will usher in the unending revenge of this group.

That group of pyrotechnic ghosts has almost unlimited recovery capabilities, fast speed, strong strength, and the ability to temporarily transform the terrain. The entire group is equivalent to a high-level T1, and they have occupied the dominance of this apartment building for a long time.

Zhuang Wu was shocked again. He did not expect that Li Huachao could deal with such a monster that was like a natural disaster.

Then he also remembered the information about this kind of stone, so he said aloud: "That's not how they are used. Living bodies cannot absorb or use the power in this stone under normal circumstances, but I was in the apartment next door a few days ago. I saw a pair of mechanical gloves in the grocery store downstairs. According to the masked man, putting some special energy-containing minerals into the grooves of the mechanical gloves can activate this energy and use it. It only takes a few minutes. A variety of ores containing different energies to blend with each other."

He glanced at the stone in Li Huachao's hand: "For example, this fire stone, you should find four more stones with similar energy to blend, such as the monsters in other apartment buildings. In addition to the pyrotechnics, there are many other reasons. A monster made from the fusion of special ores.”

"Is that so?" Li Huachao nodded, "Then why when I just wanted to use it, I got a prompt that I need to hit a fire-attributed life form to use this ability, and it also consumes merit points?"

"That should indeed be used, but I think it should turn people into monsters like fireworks, and..." Zhuang Wu hesitated and expressed his opinion, "The system may not be talking about consuming merit points, but... …You want to turn people into monsters, so I want to deduct your merits.”

Li Huachao: "..."

Well, that's what happened.

Make him happy in vain.

But Zhuang Wu reminded him.

There are also monsters like this in other apartment buildings. Maybe they are the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Make up five kinds of stones, and then ask the masked man for a glove...

hiss--

A purple potato face popped into Li Huachao's mind almost instantly.

He has seen this plot before!
