A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 110: King of the Unsullied, your power is crucial!

Zhong Xie began to think.

Their group had returned to the box. Since he was a Diamond Card VIP, the layout of the box had not changed, except that someone had cleaned up the garbage left behind when they left.

The baby mice returned to the mouse house made by Zhong Xie. They didn't understand what had happened, but they felt quite comfortable strolling around the laboratory and had no complaints.

On the other side, Peng Xiujie, who was supposed to leave from another passage, came to the laboratory with two people from the same hospital.

Like Zhong Xie, they were also restricted from going out. It seemed that the venue was not intentionally targeting Zhong Xie, but was deliberately imposing restrictions.

Since when, the venue has become a place where people are allowed to enter but not leave, and even VIP guests like them with diamond cards are locked in the private rooms.

There is no problem with the services in all aspects, but the biggest problem is not being allowed to leave.

"Something must have happened in the venue. We have never been prevented from leaving before." Peng Xiujie's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that the situation here was actually what Qi Qiliu said. The haze of the revival of the root ghost story shrouded his heart and it was difficult to recover.

Zhong Xie asked: "So this set time is a temporary rule, and it didn't exist before?"

Peng Xiujie shook his head: "Of course not. Even if there is, people like us would not be on the restricted list."

"Okay." Zhong Xie nodded, took off the white coat that symbolized a scientific researcher, changed into daily clothes, and then put Kuster back to the tip of his tail.

He looked at the others and said, "Qi Qiliu, you guys should stay in the lab for now. You guys are not fit to run around in this state."

Everyone in the circle of friends looked at each other and had no objections, but they all said that if there was any help needed, they must speak up.

The difficulties they faced were not as serious as those faced by Zhong Xie and his companions, because the ones who entered the venue were not the real bodies.

Or maybe they don't have a real body at all.

If there is really no other choice, just give up this body. Even though it would be a bit unfair to the original owner of this body, there is nothing else you can do about it.

When encountering a sudden strange incident, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

These people have their roots with Sister Ashui, so they just need to say a word in advance on their circle of friends and let their friends transfer their "face" to the outside world.

"Hammer King, come with me. Shen Junyi and Xia Shuyue will come with you. We will act separately. I asked you to scout the situation at the beginning, but we didn't explore in depth." Zhong Xie gave tasks to others.

"The Hammer King and I will look for the routes and storage points for transporting knuckles in the arena. The two of you will go upstairs to check the situation in the Kaidan Arena and see if you can find the higher-ups in the arena. The next step is to try to contact Kaidan users in other battle zones."

At this moment, Zhong Xie's thoughts were extremely clear. These were actually things he had wanted to do long ago, but he was originally busy with the Mouse Baby Gene Bank and didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

It's different now.

"Okay." Shen Junyi agreed. He and Xia Shuyue both had strong military backgrounds in war zones. To some extent, it would be reasonable for them to contact other war zones first.

"I'll go with you two." Peng Xiujie dived into Zhong Xie's shadow, then looked at the two people he brought with him.

One is a fake immortal cultivator, who calls himself Yucan, or the Canxianren, but he has none of the immortal's bearing.

He was wearing a Taoist robe with red and white as the main colors, and had the skull of an unknown creature hanging upside down around his waist. Several bone pens were inserted through the holes in the skull, using it as a pen holder.

His arms were covered with dense scars, and he looked extremely decadent, with eyes full of indifference and world-weariness.

The other person was wearing a black eye mask with two cute big eyes painted on it. He hadn't moved since being brought here by Peng Xiujie, as if he was still immersed in a dream.

"Wait a moment. Please take this wish-granting talisman with you." The hand of the crippled immortal stretched out from his Taoist robe, with several pieces of talisman paper in his hand. He then stuck the talisman paper into the air, reached out to take out the pen from the bone tube at his waist, poked it into his thigh to stain it with blood, and began to write on the talisman paper.

While writing, Peng Xiujie explained to Zhong Xie: "This is a wish-fulfilling talisman he wrote with blood. Wear it on your body and it will automatically take effect when needed, providing you with the most effective assistance."

"Oh?" Zhong Xie looked at the talisman, "Does it mean that if I'm thirsty, I can ask it to produce a bottle of water?"

Peng Xiujie thought for a moment and pointed out the difference: "Almost the same, but different, because the assistance of the Wish-Giving Talisman is passive and will not be triggered by your subjective thoughts. But in terms of the result, this assistance must be what you need."

"Okay." Zhong Xie watched as the first talisman was written and pushed towards him by the Canxianren. The talisman paper seemed to have its own life, surrounding Zhong Xie, as if it was always checking for the opportunity for him to take action.

At this time, Canxianren added: "The effective time is 17 hours and 45 minutes. You can come to me to repair it after it expires."

"17 hours and 45 minutes?" Zhong Xie was surprised. This time had both zeros and integers, which made him feel a little strange.

The Immortal Can replied, "Because my blood will lose its activity after this time, I added spells related to 'cold and fresh' and 'sterilization' to the talisman paper, but it can only keep the blood fresh for 17 hours and 45 minutes."

Zhong Xie looked at the wish-fulfilling talismans surrounding him and did not ask any more questions.

The products of this weird world are always unusually close to science in inexplicable places. The blood of the blood talisman will become ineffective when it loses its activity. There is nothing wrong with that.

On the other side, the sleepwalker muttered something like a dream: "I found you in my dream. If I encounter danger, I will replace you with myself in my dream and escape danger."

"Yeah." Peng Xiujie withdrew his gaze and expressed temporary satisfaction with the two guys who were in the same hospital as him.

If they can achieve this level, we can basically judge that they have put in a lot of effort.

Zhong Xie nodded and quickly left the laboratory with the Northwest Hammer King. In his hands was a large hamster, which was about the size of a cat, with thick hair and a soft texture.

The hamster's limbs are tucked into its long hair, making it look like a ball of mouse, somewhat similar to Kuster's former complete form, and quite adorable.

This is the 3.0 version of Mouse Baby, which possesses [Regeneration Power], [Paradox Coexistence], and [Mechanical Affinity].

The mouse babies with this entry have far superior IQs than their peers. They have excellent hands-on and creative abilities, and can quickly master mechanical creations and electronic equipment. Each one of them is a genius mouse.

But for some reason, they just can't learn normal human language.

Fortunately, Zhong Xie is still able to communicate normally with this kind of rat, and under his guidance, the vocabulary of the mechanical affinity rat is no less than that of an adult Kuster.

"Let's find the route to transport the knuckles to the venue first?" Lin Youlan looked at Zhong Xie. She put Wang Youyou into her sea of consciousness. This guy still unconsciously triggered his mind-reading ability and couldn't help but read aloud.

Zhong Xie shook his head: "No, go directly to the monitoring room."

He had previously judged that his whereabouts were known to a certain young dean, and even the roulette machine was under the control of the other party.

He guessed that it was this young dean who possessed [Machine Affinity] who had died at his hands.

After finding the young dean's hiding place, Robot Affinity Rat will probably be able to directly inherit his "legacy". It is difficult to count any ghost story ability as a legacy, but the ability of [Mechanical Affinity] is different. This young dean must have made a lot of good things, and now all of them belong to Robot Rat.

He took out the basic map of the venue that Lin Youlan had made earlier and placed it in front of the mechanical mouse.

The mechanical mouse took out a laptop from the hair, then began to investigate by comparing it with the map.

This microcomputer was found on the young dean. It was unlocked using the iris and is now owned by Mechanical Mouse.

Two small human hands stretched out from its fur, and the overly solid hands formed a sharp contrast with the cute appearance of the mechanical mouse. Now it finally looked a bit like a strange creature, which was in line with Zhong Xie's aesthetic.

Soon, the mechanical mouse stretched out its hand and pointed to a room at the end of the corridor on the third floor of the map, indicating that this was the place where the young dean had once hidden.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhong Xie got the answer, put the mouse baby away, and walked towards the stairs to go upstairs.

With Shuwa's guidance, they found the secret room without much effort. It was almost the same as Zhong Xie had thought. The secret room was similar to a monitoring room, which could monitor every corner of the entire venue. However, there were no video images in some areas, only real-time audio.

However, the information provided by the audio is not intuitive enough, so the original owner automatically converts the audio area into text and displays it on the screen, which helps to present the information directly.

The mechanical affinity rat began to use the microcomputer to erase the password left by the original owner of the secret room, received those robots in batches, and changed the control terminal to the microcomputer in his hand.

It includes a large number of spider robots and various mimic robots, but there are no weapons with powerful lethality. It is unclear whether it is due to venue limitations.

In addition to the robots that have already been made, the computer in the secret room also records the Young Dean's understanding and use of the term [Mechanical Affinity] over the past three years. Perhaps the Young Dean chose to record it because he was afraid that his inspiration would be forgotten, but now all this precious knowledge has fallen into the hands of Shushu, who is brought by Zhong Xie.

The entry "Mechanical Affinity" is very special. It is not an intuitive weird ability to do things that ordinary people cannot do at all. Instead, it increases relevant learning ability. There will be almost no failures caused by human errors when creating machinery, and mechanical creations can be perfectly controlled.

Now Zhong Xie is in great need of a baby mouse with this kind of entry, but unfortunately there is a gap in the levels of the baby mice that have mastered this entry, and currently only the one he is carrying has reached the genius level.

Since this genius is relatively rare, Zhong Xie doesn't want to use it as a stud for the time being. He would at least keep it by his side for a while.

If you use it as a stud and end up playing with it foolishly, it would be more trouble than it's worth.

In the secret room, Zhong Xie also discovered some information that was originally collected by the young dean, and the terminal of the information pointed to the root cause of the strange story behind the venue.

The root of the ghost story behind the venue is indeed in a dormant state, but it has completed its initial revival more than three years ago, which is much earlier than the time when the ghost story was revived on a large scale.

In other words, the source of the venue is an early awakening because it is missing a key link in the source of the ghost story.

characteristic.

For ghost stories, characteristics are equivalent to special entries that are triggered unconditionally. The activation of normal entries may be subject to various interferences. When the gap in the strength of the ghost stories of both sides is significant, the entries of non-rule ghost stories may not even take effect normally.

The characteristics are different. This is a special attribute born out of the configuration of the ghost story's own entries. It is almost impossible to target and is the most critical and important part of the ghost story's self-consistency.

The source of the venue woke up unexpectedly ahead of schedule, so he entrusted Jinchuan Hospital to prepare this special stair-stepping ceremony for himself.

Three years is just a short time for the Root Ghost Talk. His goal is to use the resentment inside the venue to promote successful climbing and obtain a powerful characteristic.

These contents were found by the young dean from the internal data of Jinchuan Hospital. The internal data is confidential to an ordinary young dean, but not to this guy with [Machine Affinity]. He only needs to hack into the hidden system to get the relevant information.

Knowing all this, he has been monitoring the movements of the Root Ghost Story for the past two years. A certain picture on the big screen is the place where the venue collects the knuckles every day.

A large number of knuckles were stored in a long corridor with distorted space, densely packed on the walls, the ground and the ceiling, with no end in sight.

However, according to the young dean's judgment, it is still a long time before the stair-stepping ceremony officially begins.

In the surveillance footage, the fingers on the corridor are divided into light and dark. The bright ones mean that the owner of the knuckles is dead and the resentment is concentrated on the knuckles, while the dim ones mean that the owner of the knuckles is not dead yet and the collection of resentment has not yet been completed.

At this moment in the surveillance footage, about one-third of the knuckles in the corridor had not lit up, indicating that the progress of collecting resentment was far from enough.

Before the stair-stepping ceremony begins, these grievances will not be absorbed by the roots of the venue, but will only be temporarily stored here.

Because the root of the venue must be absorbed in one go after the consciousness begins, and alternative entries must be born in the shortest time possible, so that it can have an impact on the characteristics bestowed by the ascension ceremony, otherwise it will only fail.

The original owner thought that the ascension ceremony would take some time, but now it is obviously not the case.

The venue directly restricted all gamblers from leaving the venue, indicating that the collection of knuckles has been basically completed.

Once the people in the venue die, their resentment before death will be concentrated on those knuckles, and the stair-climbing ceremony can officially begin.

In order to give rise to a sufficient amount of resentment, these people probably won't die easily.

Zhong Xie leaned back in his chair and began to think about ways to disrupt the stair-climbing ceremony.

Physically destroy this knuckle gallery?

This would require a direct attack on the venue's guarding forces. Judging from the strength displayed by the female servant outside the box before, this was not a wise idea and could even be said to be the most difficult method.

This is probably why the Young Dean's robots cannot carry thermal weapons, and explosives are absolutely prohibited in the venue because they may pose a direct threat to the Knuckles Gallery.

So……

Let the gamblers in the venue die more easily?

Eliminate their resentment?

How about some quotes on quitting gambling?
Zhong Xie shook his head. It was easy for him to create resentment, but it was difficult to eliminate it, let alone this group of gamblers who were already emotionally unstable.

I'm afraid only the real Buddha can resolve the resentment of these gamblers and let them leave in peace.

King Kong and Bodhisattva like Rat-Head Train Man are definitely not suitable.

Then let's try to intercept these grievances. Even if it's just a part of it, it can destroy the ascension ceremony that is the root of the venue.

Resentment is a kind of emotion, right?

A familiar face appeared in Zhong Xie's mind.

King of the Unsullied, your power is vital!
