Xu Su felt like he was in a dream.
He and a group of friends were inexplicably pulled up to a tree by a rope. Above the rope was a female ghost in white with disheveled hair and a terrifying face. Her appearance was definitely the kind that would scare people out of their wits with a single glance.
At least Xu Su and the other newbies were so scared that they almost peed in their pants.
Just as everyone felt that their time was up and began to close their eyes and prepare to give up on treatment and wait for death, the female ghost unexpectedly asked them if they knew how to tell stories.
Her voice sounded like she was weeping and complaining, extremely sorrowful, with a sense of grievance.
The trainees looked at each other stiffly.
Xu Su didn't dare to look at her. He only dared to stutter, "I, I know a little."
The yellow-and-white eyes turned and looked at him. "It's that … that story about the princess, and a female ghost who likes to look in the mirror."
The others: "…"
You, a female ghost, said that the other party was a female ghost, and the female ghost was you?
But through this interruption, the trainees also figured out what story the female ghost sister in front of them wanted to hear.
There was a female ghost who liked to look in the mirror, and a princess.
Everyone thought for a long time and checked one by one before they figured out that she was talking about Snow White.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's Snow White!"
Hearing this familiar name that she had been thinking about day and night, the female ghost laughed shrilly and shook her arms. Her black hair fluttered in the air, revealing the dried dark yellow dead skin underneath. A few trainees who accidentally saw this scene were so scared that they hugged each other and trembled. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
It had been too long, and she had almost forgotten it. She just kept an obsession, and she didn't expect to find it today.
The female ghost was a resentful ghost in a house from the Republic of China period. One day, she heard a new resident tell an extremely wonderful story. She listened attentively and applauded. As a result, the person turned his head stiffly and was scared to death when he saw her. So she had been thinking about this story in her heart for many years. Unfortunately, the people who entered the house later either didn't hear this story or followed in the footsteps of the person who was scared to death, so she couldn't forget it.
The pale face turned in a circle in the air, grabbed the noose and put it on another branch. She climbed to the center and sat down, smiling as she waited for them to start.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell me."
Not to mention the trainees, several survivors who had seen Xu Su in danger and had found their way to his live broadcast room were also puzzled.
[??? What's going on? This female ghost sister is different from what I imagined.]
[I find it strange too. The A-level trainee with the Book of the Black Hen is going crazy, but everyone here is telling a story calmly?]
[Who would have thought that this big sister was actually a good ghost? Crack!]
[She's a good ghost who likes to listen to fairy tales. What a talent!]
Xu Su and the others were even more confused.
Therefore, they sat in the dark and told the ghost stories for a few hours.
From "Snow White" to "Cinderella", from "Alice in Wonderland" to "Daughter of the Sea".
During this period, he also got to see the female ghost sister blowing her nose like crazy. Anyone who saw her would have nightmares in the middle of the night.
After talking for a long time, the female ghost finally reluctantly let them go when the Halloween event was about to close.
"Your companions are so annoying. They keep attacking my rope outside. Forget it, you can go. I've heard more stories today than I've heard in the past few hundred years. I'm satisfied. "
As she spoke, the ghost figure in the air stretched and cracked a smile. "Go, don't disturb my beauty sleep."
Therefore, Xu Su led a few rookies and left the darkness with a dream-like feeling that they were in an unreal dream.
They didn't know what the female ghost sister did, but she dragged them directly to the underground of an amusement facility. The group of people groped around in the dark for a while before they found a passage to leave.
When they saw the familiar night sky, everyone looked at each other.
"We made it out alive?"
"That's right. Not only did we make it out alive, we also achieved the achievement of telling a female ghost a bedtime story."
"And the female ghost said that she wanted to take a beauty sleep to nourish the skin on her face."
After a few seconds of silence, everyone couldn't help but squat on the ground and laugh.
"Hahahahaha!"
It wasn't just the ecstasy of surviving a disaster, it was mainly because the female ghost sister was too funny and worth ridiculing!
The reason why they could only listen to stories and not read stories for so many years was because they died too early. They didn't get to enjoy the nine-year compulsory education that came later under socialism. It was said that the female ghost sister beat her chest and stamped her feet when she found out that girls could read and write a few decades later. She ate vegetarian and prayed in the house every day, hoping that she could let go of this obsession and reincarnate as soon as possible.
Xu Su was also laughing crazily, to the point that tears came out.
Their undisguised laughter finally attracted the attention of the search team that had been lingering nearby, unwilling to leave.
Tokumon's tracking spell suddenly lit up, and his face lit up. "Over here!"
So, while squatting on the ground and laughing, Xu Su was suddenly pulled up from the ground by a strong force, and his head was pressed into a trembling embrace.
Xu Sen, who had also fallen in love with robes and long sleeves ever since he became a wizard, had a cold expression. Xu Su's face flushed red. He wanted to break free, but he felt the other person's whole body trembling uncontrollably. He stared blankly, slowly relaxed his body, and stopped struggling.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Even Xu Su, who had always had a glib tongue, was as quiet as a quail.
After a long while, he stammered, "You, what are you doing! I'm fine. She's a good ghost. She let me tell two stories and then let me go. "
Xu Sen didn't speak, but his two arms tightened.
Seeing him like this, Xu Su couldn't say anything.
He sighed, suddenly grabbed Xu Sen's left hand, and forcibly rolled up the sleeve.
Under the sleeve was a charred and withered finger.
Seeing it with his own eyes was much clearer than seeing it through the night sky, and it was also much more shocking.
Xu Su's eyes, which had just been blown by the cold wind, turned red again.
He trembled as he touched the hand, and then shrank back as if he was afraid of hurting the other person. He sniffled, and then softly said, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Xu Sen played it down, and didn't mention that the finger was already necrotic, and he couldn't feel anything at all.
After he finished speaking, the two of them fell silent again.
The trainees around them exchanged glances, and in their hearts, they lamented the close relationship between the two.
It wasn't that there weren't any high level trainees and low level trainees who were close friends, but for a veteran, an old person, and a newcomer to become so close after a mere trainee competition, Xu Su and Xu Sen were really the first team.
Only a few people looked at the interaction between the two. No matter how they looked at it, they found it strange, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"That's right!"
Everyone was looking at them. Xu Su awkwardly changed the topic, "Jiu, where's Jiu Ge?"
This time, it was Tokumon who answered, "Night people were nearby, and the magician went to find him. Don't worry, he's fine."
Not long ago, the news that the A-level trainee magician was caught by the Ghost King spread like wildfire, and within a few hours, it spread throughout the Colorful Amusement Park. Among them, the most worried were naturally the people from the Class 9 team. Originally, everyone had discussed teaming up to find the Ghost King, but they didn't expect that a few hours later, Zong Jiu would appear by himself.
Not only did he appear, but he also stepped on a new skateboard.
In the night sky, many people saw the strange red mark on his neck. The white-haired youth frowned, but he didn't care and waved his hand, asking if they had seen any trace of No. 2.
Coincidentally, Tokumon saw the Night people's team in the distance when he came alone from the fork in the road.
The leader of the Night people was dressed in a black and gold military uniform, and the Caligula military knife in his hand reflected the brilliant flames of Halloween, and his face was as cold as iron. The vampires behind him were also solemn and stern, like a group of real special forces.
After receiving the information, Zong Jiu left in a hurry.
There was still more than an hour before the Halloween event closed, and the main system would only announce what the special mission was in the last hour.
During this time, he had to find Fan Zhuo first, and then pull out the puppet strings on his head. In short, he didn't mind too much trouble, and since he was going to declare war with the Devil, there was no harm in having too much trouble.
Fortunately, Zong Jiu had previously made a bet with the Devil, so helping No. 2 to remove his control was unexpectedly smooth, and Zong Jiu didn't even need to do it himself.
Zhuge An had previously said that as long as the controlled person realized that he was being controlled by the Devil, or knew part of the Devil's ability, the puppet strings would automatically be removed. Fan Zhuo was the leader of the Night people, and he already knew about No. 1's ability, so he had already prepared for it, but he didn't expect to be taken advantage of. Fortunately, he only had one puppet string, so after Zong Jiu confessed, the Devil's control was automatically nullified.
Fan Zhuo was in a daze for a moment, then returned to normal after the control was removed.
He thanked Zong Jiu solemnly, and at the same time, he suppressed the suspicions in his heart.
The leader of the Night people had a serious expression.
It wasn't important that he was being controlled, but the important thing was how No. 1 bypassed his defenses and successfully inserted the puppet strings.
He muttered to himself for a moment and hesitated, but in the end, he didn't say anything that he hadn't verified.
Because Zong Jiu shook his head at him.
The livestream was still open, and there were eyes and ears everywhere. Even if the livestream couldn't be connected to the Thriller Trainees Competition, it was still inappropriate to discuss this issue. Otherwise, Zong Jiu wouldn't have been so secretive when he told Fan Zhuo about it.
At that moment, it was finally the last hour of the livestream.
It was five in the morning, and the pitch-black sky showed signs of dawn.
[After five minutes, all ghosts and monsters will be removed.]
When the system announcement came out, all the trainees couldn't help but curse.
Removing the restrictions meant that all the ghosts could chase after the trainees like the Ghost King.
[Announcement for the last round of safe houses: Carousel.]
The only carousel in the entire amusement park was the three-story carousel next to the castle in District One. This meant that the trainees from the other districts had to rush to District One before the event started.
Finally, the main system announced the Special Clearance Mission that everyone had been waiting for.
[Announcement for the Special Clearance Mission: Before the park closes, stand at the highest point in the entire amusement park to complete the mission, and receive an S-rank Blind Box Draw reward.]
