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

Chapter 24: The God of Pure Love makes his grand appearance!
Treat everyone equally?
This achievement is quite easy to achieve. It only requires 10 Zhong Xies, and he has thirteen of them.

Zhong Xie is proud.

If you look carefully at the description of the entry "treat everyone equally", it is also very simple.

Treat up to three targets as an additional target you specify.

Zhong Xie will understand the specific meaning of an entry when he comes into contact with it, so the entry description is actually for others to see, and it is difficult to say who it is for.

Well, of course it's for Kuster.

After triggering this entry, Kuster can regard targets ABC as target D, which means there are 4 targets D in your eyes.

There is no doubt that this is used in conjunction with [Wife's Death].

After entering into a marriage contract with a female creature, Kuster can also regard three additional targets as his wives and use [Wife Loss] to attack four targets at the same time.

I originally thought that I would need the [Ashasi Harem King] entry to turn a single kill into a group kill, but now with [Equal Treatment] it saves a lot of trouble.

Of course, this does not mean that Kuster will appear as a pure love warrior in the future. The harem must still be a harem, and the basic route of the trainer must be adhered to for many years without wavering.

However, after a deeper understanding, Zhong Xie realized that this entry is not yet able to kill four people in one go, but the four targets share the responsibility of the death.

Each target bears a 25% death effect. What exactly this "25% death" is is not explained in the entry information, and Zhong Xie needs to study it himself.

Anyway, it won’t be a real death. [Treat Everyone Equally] is just a gray item and doesn’t have such a miraculous effect.

When the time comes, I can just buy Kuster a female hamster and give it a try. Finally, I have a way to utilize Kuster's rule-based abilities.

Kuster strongly protested against Zhong Xie's practice of arranged marriage, but the protest was ineffective because Zhong Xie's bottom line was that a female lizard would also be fine.

Not female goats.

Secondly, [equal treatment] does not only mean that Kuster admits that he has the wrong wife and goes to the wrong bed.

If there are other single-target attack methods, such as a laser wave directed at target D, it can only hit one person originally, but under the effect of [Equal Treatment], it can fork and attack four people at the same time, and the damage is similarly one-fourth of that to each person.

Well, it's really useless. Kuster often has a range of agitation waves, which are high and very hard, and will not cause urine to split.

Again, it’s good enough that the grey terms can be used. Do you really want to build a perpetual motion machine?

Zhong Xie absorbed the gray ball and placed it on Kuster's body, then looked at the next white ball.

This small white ball is probably the normal reward for the strange event [Growing Friends]. To be honest, Zhong Xie no longer cares about this ten-year soul ring, but it is an entry after all.

[White Resonance (Parasitic)]: Makes a buzzing sound to confirm the location of other parasitic monsters within a 20-meter radius, and you can choose to jointly reduce the monster power by 3% or jointly increase it by 3%.

Oh, the parasitic system.

Zhong Xie was not interested in reading any more, so he asked Lin Youlan beside him, "Did you bring the empty capsule? I have a good parasitic entry here, do you want one?"

"Let me see." Lin Youlan came over and touched the white ball with her finger. After reading the entry, she immediately agreed, "Yes."

She took out the Ghost Talk Capsule and threw it to Zhong Xie: "Please keep it for me, and send me a rough idea of the strategy on WeChat."

Zhong Xie used the Strange Talk Capsule to touch the entry and stored it.

They are participating in the ghost story event together, but if they want to obtain the entries dropped by their companions, they still need to open the capsule and start over.

Perhaps they are afraid that the emergence of a large number of "boosting players" will destroy the fairness and competitiveness of the world of ghost stories.

Then Zhong Xie handed the ghost story capsule to Lin Youlan. He leaned forward and put his face close to her, carefully observing Lin Youlan's appearance.

Before, he only regarded her as "Hammer Girl". The description of Hammer had more words than Hammer Girl, but he had never remembered what the other person looked like.

If you take a closer look now, she is still quite pretty. Not as beautiful as Jiang Shuran who is visually pretty, but she is pretty for the sake of pleasing to the eye, and perhaps has a little hidden cuteness.

Zhong Xie took note of the appearance. There were still some maggots left on his hands, so he could use them to summon Lin Youlan in the future.

However, summoning Lin Youlan is definitely not as awesome as copying Zhong Xie. It can only be used as a communication tool at best.

Lin Youlan who appears in this state still possesses her original memory, and this method can be used for emergency contact in the lost ghost story area.

For example, prepare a child (small in size), tie it on the wrist, and use maggots to perform plastic surgery when you need to make a phone call. The photo album you carry with you is the phone book and the contact list.

This--

It is the predecessor of the Xiaotiancai children's phone watch.

It's the kind that's written in the brand history of a century-old store.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xie felt that using maggots to open a telephone booth was very promising.

In this era of ghost stories, satellite phones are unreliable, but the maggot phone booth can definitely help you contact your family (living people only).

It's so precious, it's not too much to charge you a little more per minute, right?
However, this business is still not easy to do, not because there are few social animals willing to work in the fields.

If there really is such a good job where one can make a lot of money by selling one's body without working, I'm afraid there will be many people who would be tempted. It is simply easy to be morally condemned by society.

Zhong Xie doesn't want to be in the spotlight right now, it's dangerous.

What a pity, this has to be a normal limitation.

The strange incident ended, the barrier disappeared, and the exploded entries were configured or recycled. A few people looked at the unconscious tourists on the ground, and silently watched the maggots on their faces start working again.

The woman said that the friends grown have a shelf life. When their energy is exhausted, the maggots lurking on their faces will change their appearance back to their original state.

Kill the maggots halfway through this stage and your friend will truly die.

Zhong Xie guessed that the maggots would play a "saving" role when restoring. Once the preservation failed, the information of the "friend" would be lost forever.

This was the trick used to kill "A Shui".

By the time the maggots have finished their work, they lose all vitality, are expelled from the body by the skin and flesh, and gradually shrivel up and fall to the ground.

"There are about twelve more maggots. They probably need to eat flesh and blood to survive." Lin Youlan handed a box to Zhong Xie, "including the maggots that were just raised on the human head lantern."

She didn't really want to use this thing, but she knew that Zhong Xie would definitely like it very much and might even breed it secretly.

So she said as if it was a warning or a reminder: "You wouldn't do something like Ah Shui did, raising maggots on people's heads, would you?"

"Of course not. I'm not Dr. Zhang."

Zhong Xie shook his head like a rattle. He is a normal person now and will not do anything beyond the moral standards of normal people.

"Doctor Zhang?" Lin Youlan was puzzled.

"You don't know him, and you don't want to know him." Zhong Xie smiled lightly and didn't say much.

During the conversation, the police's ghost storyteller had led the police all the way to this place. The scene left them speechless and they could only keep calling for medical help.

As the captain of this ghost story team, Lin Youlan was called by the police for questioning. She was clear about the entire process of the ghost story incident, so there would be no problem in taking a statement.

The maggot box was a key piece of evidence, so the police took a photo of it and kept it on file, but did not take it away.

Except for weapons of mass destruction, the special items in these strange stories belong to the Strange Story Envoy. The authorities will not erode the trust of the Strange Story Envoy for a small profit. Since there are many ordinary people involved in this strange story, there are still a lot of miscellaneous things to do. When Zhong Xie saw Lin Youlan again, the woman's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Even the air pressure around him dropped, and he was obviously upset by the tedious inquiries.

"Not bad. Next time, I'll take on more of this type of strange story cases." Zhong Xie let out a breath. After experiencing this strange story incident, he felt refreshed.

I feel like all the anger that was built up in my body has been released. I should definitely participate in these ghost stories on a regular basis.

Lin Youlan looked at the joy on Zhong Xie's face and shook her head, saying, "The level of cases that can trigger ghost stories is very high, and it is not something a team like ours can handle. This time it can only be called an accident."

She did want to train the team, but not in this way.

A Shui and his friends are more ferocious than one can imagine, as can be seen from this strange incident. Jiang Shuran and Zhang Zitai played limited roles, and she herself only held back one of her friends, and as a result, her weapon was taken away.

What can I do if I accidentally enter a high-power field?
If it weren’t for Zhong Xie, the entire army would probably have been wiped out.

Until now, Lin Youlan still couldn't believe why there was a ghost story master who could handle this ghost story incident, which was by no means easy, with just his physical body without relying on the power of his own ghost story.

Well, thirteen bodies in total.

After deducing the situation, Lin Youlan believed that at least four level 4 ghost story masters would be needed to complete the mission, and there was no guarantee of the casualty rate.

If the commander is careless and lets his friends wake up, there will probably be no one left alive.

"That's really a pity." Zhong Xie sighed, "Do we have to upgrade the team level before we can take on more difficult ghost story incidents?"

"Yeah." Lin Youlan nodded.

The two fell into silence, watching Jiang Shuran and Zhang Zita not far away helping to carry tourists into the ambulance. At this time, they could still be useful.

There were not many reports from the outside world about the tragic plight of the tourists, only that a small number of deaths were confirmed, and the number of injured was not counted.

Since more than half of the tourists were high school graduates, a group of parents gathered outside the haunted house and cried and wailed. Their children had just come to the haunted house for a spin, but when they came out, they all had disfigured and broken bones. No one could accept this.

The disfigurement is temporary, their appearance will gradually recover, so just rest assured and recuperate.

Serious injuries like broken bones only look scary, but Zhong Xie was measured in his actions to ensure that they would not die.

Originally, they still had many complaints, but after seeing the four people who died directly without the intervention of the ghost story master, these parents stopped talking.

Compared to dismembering a body and making a human head lantern, a minor fracture is at most a superficial injury.

When leaving the haunted house, Zhong Xie also saw Ke Yang, who had been following him throughout the strange incidents.

For some reason, his injuries were not particularly serious. He just stayed alone under the eaves of a shop across the street, looking at the commotion on this side of the street with a lost gaze.

He looks lonely and desolate, or in the words of Stephen Chow, like a dog.

Zhong Xie crossed the street and walked up to him: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go to the hospital for a physical examination?"

"No, my injuries have mostly recovered, and I don't need to take up other people's medical care." Ke Yang shook his head and looked at Zhong Xie, "I want to become a ghost story master, what should I do?"

Zhong Xie naturally understood that at this age, watching the person you secretly love die tragically in front of you must be extremely devastating.

If it was just an ordinary ghost story, it would be fine, but the key is that someone was behind all this.

What will inevitably follow is “all the unfavorable situations in this world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties involved”. It hurts just thinking about it, and I can’t help but humming “Oh, black belt”.

"If you want to become a ghost story master, you must first have a ghost story. Have you ever awakened something strange?" Lin Youlan followed Zhong Xie and she knew the situation better, so she asked.

In this era, the reason why high schools still exist is that the authorities are not clear about what these minors can do.

The authorities have sufficient control over the city's productivity and are not in a hurry to put these students into productive work. Supporting these students is not a social problem, but forcing them to give up their studies and leave school will cause social unrest.

However, in high schools, many schools organize courses on the theme of ghost stories, and they neither encourage nor discourage students who want to become ghost story masters.

Secondly, the school will help students awaken their abnormalities, which will help them discover excellent reserve ghost story masters, and can also persuade those students who have no talent but insist on becoming ghost story masters.

Being a middle school student is a disease that can really kill people.

The Ke Yang in front of him has already graduated from high school, and he must have awakened to something strange.

"I only have one slot for a strange story, and the strangeness is my heart." Ke Yang recalled, "At that time, they all said that I was not suitable because someone with only one strange story could not become an excellent strange story teller, so I gave up."

His tone gradually became firm: "But now I have figured it out. I want to become a ghost story master, not only for myself, but also for Zhou Ting."

"Yes, I support you on this point. Who says that you can't become a powerful ghost story user with only one ghost story? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate it into a root ghost story?" Zhong Xie was serious for once. He was sincerely comforting Ke Yang.

"That's right." Lin Youlan nodded in agreement.

Ke Yang looked at the two of them and asked, "How many slots do you have?"

"Eight."

"nine."

Lin Youlan and Zhong Xie looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.

"So which ghost story are you planning to capture? Since there's only one, it'd better be of higher quality, right?" Zhong Xie abruptly changed the subject.

Ke Yang shook his head: "No need, I already have a strange story."

He raised his hand, and the strange aura emerged from his heart, condensed into shape, and then a human head lantern appeared in his hand.

Zhou Ting's face is now pale, her cheeks are thin, maggots are crawling on the surface of her skin, and her lifeless eyes rarely blink. Only when she turns her head to look at Ke Yang will she regain some spirit.

"When the ghost story incident ended, she became my ghost story, which is why I must become a ghost story master." Ke Yang laughed bitterly, "Based on the knowledge I have learned, her quality is only white, and it just so happens that her favorite color before was white."

"Now I understand why I only have one slot for a weird story. Maybe my heart can only hold this one weird story."

He said firmly: "This may be the most difficult road I have ever taken, but I will definitely finish it. I can feel that she is still alive, and one day I will restore her to the way she was before."

Zhong Xie stood in awe.

This is the god of pure love!
The harem fork king Kuster comes out to get beaten!

"There is a 'May Plan' every March and September, which aims to train the best ghost story tellers. The September phase is about to start. You can prepare for the March phase next year, but be careful not to exceed level 25." Lin Youlan also rarely said a lot. She patted Ke Yang on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Come on."

There is only one slot for a ghost story, and only one white ghost story. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is probably just to make up the number, but for some reason, Lin Youlan feels that this guy has great potential.

Zhong Xie also thought so, perhaps it was due to this determination.

After all, everyone in history who wanted to "resurrect my love" succeeded.

Number of successes: 1
Success rate: 100%
He wanted to say something, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of his eye. He shuddered and looked in that direction.

On the fifth floor of the haunted building, a woman leaned against the window railing and looked down calmly, her eyes fixed on Zhong Xie's figure without any concealment.

Ah Shui!

No, this is Sister Shui!
