Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

As Jiang Qi poked his head out of the water, a system announcement sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for discovering the second ghost story, "The Girl in the Lake's Cry for Help," with 100% exploration completed and 100 reward points awarded.]

【Player Jiang Qi killed the second boss of the Strange Tales and gained 200 points】These two announcements were playing in the player's public chat.

Since it's a newbie dungeon, these two announcements immediately attracted a group of curious and intermediate players, and the chat exploded with discussion.

"Wow, this newcomer is pretty good."

"Did you all see what he did in the illusion? He was so handsome, but are all handsome men so heartless?"

"If it were me, I might have fallen into the illusion out of pity and couldn't get out. And for him to be able to turn the tables and kill me is extraordinary. Is he even a newbie?"

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. You've blown such a simple thing out of proportion."

"We've only found two ghost stories on the second day; there's still more to come."

In addition to the news being broadcast throughout the entire instance and the public chat, Jiang Qi also obtained an item—the hairpin that killed the second boss of the ghost story.

[Congratulations, player! You have obtained the Peach Blossom Hairpin, an item dropped in the Illusionary Realm. Please check your inventory.]

Ignoring his wet clothes, Jiang Qi swept his wet hair to the top of his head, revealing his full forehead.

He then opened his personal panel, clicked on the backpack item section, opened the item, and the hairpin was fully revealed.

The hairpin is hard, silvery-white, and has a smooth surface.

The hairpin is inlaid with delicate peach blossoms at the top, and its tip gleams with a sharp light, making it look like a deadly weapon.

[Props: Peach Blossom Hairpin]

[Function: Attacks ghosts; each attack reduces the ghost's sanity by one point (except for one-hit kills, which do not consume sanity)]

[Cooling time: 5 minutes]

[Rank: B (To be upgraded)]

[Origin: In ancient times, peach blossom hairpins were not merely ornaments, but also symbols of affection. Men often gifted them to women they admired to express their love. Unfortunately, this hairpin ultimately became stained with blood and transformed into a deadly weapon.]

Jiang Qi closed his personal panel and then went back the way he came to find Lu Zhi.

He now has 300 points and a B-grade item, so at least he won't be put on the defensive against ghosts.

However, this item consumes sanity points if it cannot kill in one hit, so it has both advantages and disadvantages.

However, Jiang Qi didn't mind; he was confident he could kill the ghost with a single blow.

Jiang Qi saw Lu Zhi in the corner. Lu Zhi was still in the same position as before, with his eyes tightly closed, waiting for Jiang Qi to arrive.

Jiang Qi squatted down and patted his head, his thin lips slightly parted, "Lu Zhi, I'm here. You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

Jiang Qi's voice was clear and gentle, giving people a sense of comfort.

Lu Zhi slowly opened his eyes and smiled happily.

"Brother, no, I did exactly as you said."

He ate the doctor, but he can't tell his brother yet, or his brother will be scared and leave him.

Jiang Qi did not pick up Lu Zhi so as not to get his clothes wet.

Holding Lu Zhi's hand, she walked towards the dormitory building. She needed to change into clean clothes in her room so as not to affect tonight's plans.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi didn't waste any time. By the time Jiang Qi finished changing his clothes, there was still an hour before lights out.

The dormitory manager said we can't come out after lights out, but he didn't say we can't stay outside until lights out.

The night was as dark as ink; no one knew what would happen tonight.

When Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi left the dormitory building, Jiang Qi glanced at the dormitory manager's room. The desk lamp was on, and the dormitory manager was fast asleep, unaware of the two of them.

Because I ran into the principal when I went to check the archives during the day, the archives became even more dangerous at night.

Therefore, Jiang Qi immediately decided to go to the teaching building first.

Arriving at the teaching building, it seemed no different from the daytime, but at night, the dark windows of the classrooms were like a pair of hungry eyes, silently watching them.

The main gate of the teaching building was locked. Jiang Qi took out a thin wire from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and gently twisted it. The lock clicked open.

To avoid being discovered while walking around the teaching building, Jiang Qi did not turn on the flashlight, but simply put it in his pocket.

Jiang Qi opened the door and carried Lu Zhi into the darkness. It was pitch black all around, and because their vision was obstructed, their hearing became more sensitive.

The sound of dripping water came from afar, like a toilet faucet that wasn't turned off properly; the dripping sound seemed to be dripping on one's heart, making one feel fear.

Jiang Qi hugged Lu Zhi tightly and slowly followed the sound of dripping water. The sound of dripping water was getting closer and closer, and it was coming from the toilet on the first floor.

Jiang Qi cautiously entered the restroom, holding the prop peach blossom hairpin in his hand. It was too dark around him, so Jiang Qi had no choice but to turn on his flashlight to illuminate the restroom.

The walls of this toilet are dilapidated and covered with cobwebs in the corners.

The floor was covered with stains of some unknown liquid, and there was a foul smell. The mirror was also blurry and could not reflect a clear image.

It seems that the environment began to change the moment they stepped into the teaching building.

Jiang Qi walked to the sink and turned off the dripping faucet. The surroundings instantly became quiet, with only the soft breathing of the two of them audible.

The silence didn't last long. At that moment, all the taps were turned on, and red blood gushed out, with hair still faintly visible mixed in.

Jiang Qi pulled Lu Zhi slowly back out of the restroom, and fortunately there was nothing strange blocking their way.

They stood again in the dark classroom corridor, where, in the sinks they couldn't see, two pairs of eyes darted around, searching for prey.
