Ghost Story Game Designer

Chapter 349 Gathering
Under the dim light, several moths kept flying into the glass lampshade. They danced in the light and shattered in the light until their bodies fell powerlessly and disappeared into the darkness.

A boot from the Bureau of Investigation crushed the body of the moth, the light was distorted, and security guards wearing blood rings walked out of the darkness.

Dark clouds gathered and the night sky seemed to be collapsing.

Depressed and silent, they move forward silently.

"We're here." Zhuo Jun raised his hand and everyone stopped. They stood on Yashou Street, east of Xiangshengyong Apartment, and looked to the other side of the street.

A black car with a new Shanghai license plate slowly stopped on the other side of the street. Wanjie opened the door and got out.

Lighting a cigarette, he leaned against the car window and asked casually, "What time is it?"

"Four minutes and forty-four seconds." The team leader glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "What an auspicious time."

Unlike the East District Security Special Team represented by Zhuo Jun, Wan Jie and his men were all injured, as if they had been fighting for the past few days.

Nodding, Wanjie looked behind Zhuo Jun, his gaze rested on Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao at this moment was completely different from before. His body was hidden in the uniform, and he held the strange long sword in his hand.

"Have you eaten malicious meat? Those crazy people in Shumi Research Institute really dare to try anything." Wanjie closed his eyes, as if waiting for the end to come.

The ghost story players who received the task prompt and members of various forces in the vast sea gathered here, but they were tactful enough to avoid Wanjie and Zhuo Jun.

"The Bureau of Investigation sent very few people this time, but why are they all wearing blood rings? Aren't all investigators' communicators black?"

"Hush, don't provoke them. They are a group of monsters that are neither human nor ghost. They are no longer considered living people."

The dark clouds continued to press down, the air was filled with moisture, and it was very stuffy, making it a little hard to breathe.

The lights on the street were dimming slowly, until the time agreed upon by the Investigation Bureau, when a car slowly drove up to the door of Xiangshengyong Apartment.

A pale hand reached out of the car and Jingtuo God threw a bunch of keys on the ground.

"Xiangshengyong Apartment and Changcheng Residential Community, as well as the nearby streets - Yashou Road, Songfu Road, Wanhe, etc., are all within the impact range of this abnormal incident. I don't need to say more about the various rewards prepared by the Investigation Bureau for this large-scale screening. All participants who can leave the abnormal incident alive can enter the Shumi Research Institute for selection. If you bring out extra useful information, you will get more." Jingtuo Shen's driver came out of the car holding an umbrella.

"The outbreak of this abnormal incident is related to Lishan Hospital. After investigation, it can be determined that two big ghosts escaped from Lishan Hospital. Considering that there are new people among you, we don't force you to hunt ghosts. This screening is only to select those citizens with potential, so the assessment is based on the length of survival time as the judging standard."

"But you need to pay attention to two points. First, the ghost's ability is related to memory, and it may tamper with your memory. Don't trust yourself too much after you enter. Second, the ghost's body is two clay sculptures. Destroying them can solve the abnormal incident at the source."

The driver put it very simply, as if the danger level of this abnormal incident was far less than that of Lishan Hospital, and it was just an ordinary test.

Some of the people gathered outside the apartment were frowning in thought, while others were excited and had already started to consider which cursed object would be better.

"If you are sure you want to participate in this screening, please come over and choose a house key. Each key corresponds to a rental house. After entering the apartment building, the first thing you need to do is to find the room corresponding to the key and hide in it! Remember, this is very important!"

Picking up the bunch of keys, the driver looked at everyone's face and said, "Each key can be used by up to five people. You can come and collect it now." Ding-ding-dang, the keys collided with each other and made a sound.

The onlookers began to move forward. Many of them had divided into teams in advance, and several of them entered the apartment door holding a key.

Apparently due to the influx of living people, shadows began to spread and lights came on in the dilapidated apartment building.

One figure after another was swallowed up by the darkness. The strange thing was that no one who entered the apartment compound looked back, as if no matter where they ran, they would eventually rush straight to the apartment building.

The ghost story players who were still observing outside also began to take action. As the keys became fewer and fewer, Bankai also put out his cigarette and led the team forward.

"Group of five, collect the keys." Wanjie glanced at the Jingtuo God in the car: "The person you want to catch doesn't seem to be here."

"Maybe they have already gone in." Jingtuo Shen took off his white gloves and took a look at the terrible wound on the back of his hand: "They and we have no way out, right?"

"He's the one who's forced you into a corner. I heard that he's always one step ahead of you and has recruited all the seed citizens into ghost story players. Although he doesn't have many followers, each of them has great potential."

The driver was worried that Wanjie would anger Jingtuo God, so he quickly stuffed a key into Wanjie's hands.

Zhuo Jun and his team came over only after the security personnel who had played the forbidden game left in groups.

The god Jing Tuo in the car had thrown away his white gloves. He dug his fingertips into the wound, using the pain to ease some emotions: "The portraits given to you by the General Administration have all been sewn into your arms. After entering the apartment, first find a way to use the portraits to restore your memory, and then act according to the original plan."

The eyes of the God of Pure Land were sinister and terrifying. "If there is a chance, keep them all in the abnormal incident. I mean never let them out."

"Understood." Zhuo Jun and several other responsible persons nodded. They did not form teams according to a fixed number of people. Many of them held the keys alone, one person per room.

"lets go."

The newly formed East District Security Team entered the Xiangshengyong Apartment. Bai Xiao followed at the end of the team. He held a knife in his right hand and raised the key in his left hand and took a look.

There was nothing special about the copper key covered with black dirt, except for a string of numbers stuck to the key handle - 4343.

As he stepped into the apartment complex, the malice in Bai Xiao's body suddenly surged to his brain uncontrollably. He screamed, but the sound seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Bai Xiao.

His vision became a little blurry. Bai Xiao remembered the house number 4343 and rushed towards the apartment building holding the key tightly.

Outside the apartment compound, citizens who wanted to participate in the screening came in an endless stream. Most of them just wanted to try their luck and see if they could get some benefits, but some individuals in the General Administration used their lives as bargaining chips.

Sitting in the car, Jing Tuoshen's eyes became increasingly cold. He touched the white ring on his wrist and turned on the internal video communication: "How is the situation in Changcheng Community? Have the people from Class 13 come over?"

There are two gathering places for this screening, Xiangshengyong Apartment in the old city and Changcheng Community in the east district.

“Haven’t seen him yet.” The man in the video call was wearing the uniform of the director of the investigation bureau. He had a square face and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of Gao Ming’s classmate Wang Jie.
