Strange national destiny: My Chinese-style horror scares the world

[Item Name: Weird Landscape Painting]

[Horror Level: SS]

[Related introduction: A passage connecting the netherworld, a bridge between illusion and reality.]

"It's actually an SS-level strange item? It seems the system feels unfair this time, so the reward is quite generous..."

Su Yi muttered to himself.

After all, they were dealing with teams from four countries at the same time.

To put it bluntly, if another designer were to design the dungeon, Dragon Country would definitely lose, and a strange revival would definitely occur.

By then, all lives will be lost and corpses will be everywhere, but no one will show mercy to the Dragon Kingdom.

It would be unreasonable if no compensation was made.

What makes people feel strange is that the introduction column of this strange item,

It says "a passage connecting the underworld, a bridge between illusion and reality." It's a bit hard to understand, not very clear, and a bit like a riddle.

As the system prompt slowly dissipated, an extremely huge object appeared out of thin air in Su Yi's room and directly stuck to the wall of the living room.

This is a landscape painting, in ink style, very large.

It should be several meters long, more than three meters wide and high.

The painting shows a continuous mountain range with trees, houses, and various pedestrians on the mountain.

Everyone is painted vividly.

It was clearly just a two-dimensional painting, but Su Yi felt that the things on it were very lively and vivid, as if they really existed.

He didn't even dare to look into the eyes of the people above him.

Because he felt that those eyes were spiritual, as if they were alive, had their own souls, and could sense that someone was watching them in the world outside the painting.

"This is an SS-level strange item... It looks really strange!"

The corners of Su Yi's eyes twitched slightly.

If it is an ordinary landscape painting, no matter how well it is painted, he, an outsider, will not be able to see the meaning of it.

However, the painting before him gave him a very strong and special feeling.

This feeling is hard to describe. If I had to say it, it would be that this painting gave him the feeling of a living thing.

It has its own heartbeat, its own breathing, and even its own senses.

Just by sticking it on the wall, it gives people a strong sense of presence, making it impossible to ignore its existence.

Fortunately, the painting has not shown any danger at present and no strange events have occurred, which makes Su Yi feel relieved.

"But, this can't go on.

Every national war may reward a strange item. Although it is called a reward, you may be killed by it.

Maybe one day the reward will destroy this place and kill everyone, even me."

Su Yi thought to himself.

He cannot avoid the problem, he must face it and solve it.

The best way is to explore how to use strange items.

If he could master it, then he would have an extra trump card.

The more strange items he possesses, the more powerful he becomes and the safer he becomes.

If he really encounters some extremely dangerous strange object in the future, at least he will not be an ordinary person with no ability to resist.

He didn't study the strange lantern that was rewarded last time.

If we don’t study this strange landscape painting, there will only be more and more problems piling up in the future.

So he set about dealing with these things.

Su Yi began to pace back and forth in the room, repeatedly observing the landscape painting.

Once he started researching, he felt the difficulty of the problem.

The information provided by the system is too little.

"A passage connecting the netherworld, a bridge between illusion and reality."

Su Yi pondered these two sentences over and over again, and finally the more he read them, the more he felt that the word "ghost" was a little familiar, and it was exactly the same as some of the descriptions in the introduction of the strange lantern.

"When the strange lantern is lit, it can illuminate the underworld. Could it be that this is the underworld?"

After much thought, he decided to take out the strange lantern and try to light it. This was the only way to find out about the "Netherworld".

But this was a bit suicidal, so he took the unknown female corpse and the strange cloth with him.

This way, even if he encounters strange events, he will have a strategy to deal with them.

"Hu..." Su Yi took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

To be honest, he was a little nervous.

Because this is not in a copy, but in the real world,

In the dungeon, you need to leave a way to survive, which gives you a sense of fate, as if you are the protagonist and will not die easily.

But in reality, it is possible to reach a dead end or even a complete deadlock at any time.

With a "click", Su Yi lit the ghost lantern with a lighter.

A strange green light appeared, illuminating the entire room.

However, the next second, Su Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, the hairs on his body stood up, and his muscles tensed.

He was no longer in the room, but appeared in a dark environment, with only a green lantern in his hand as the only light source.

In addition, the unidentified female corpse holding his hand next to him gave the environment a gloomy and weird feeling.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not going straight into the underworld, am I?"

Su Yi quickly blew towards the strange lantern, trying to extinguish it.

However, I discovered in despair that this green flame seemed to not exist in this world.

No matter how hard he tried, even if he spitted, the flame didn't waver at all.

Finally, he looked at the unknown female corpse beside him and ordered her to blow the ghost lantern.

"Whoosh..." A cold wind appeared, and the nameless female corpse exhaled a mouthful of air with a corpse stench, which directly blew out the green flame.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi appeared in his room.

Nothing had changed, not even the position where he was standing had moved.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just his illusion.

But it was no illusion.

That's definitely another world.

A netherworld that does not belong to reality, where the darkness seems to be able to swallow up the light.

He had a hunch that normal lighting tools would be useless there, and only this strange lantern could be used, and only the strange lantern could emit light.

In order to verify his guess, he found a flashlight and lit the ghost lantern again.

This time, after the surroundings fell into darkness, he held the hand of the unknown female corpse with one hand, then tucked the strange lantern under his armpit, and then turned on the flashlight with the other hand.

As a result... as he expected, the flashlight could not be turned on at all.

In other words, although it is open, it does not emit any light.

Su Yi turned the flashlight over and looked at it with his eyes.

I found that the flashlight only emitted a faint light, but it gradually disappeared after a few millimeters, as if it was swallowed by something invisible.

Only the green light from the ghost lantern can be emitted.

Moreover, this seemingly weak light can spread very far.
