The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 486 Exploration! (Seeking monthly votes)

'They can be resurrected countless times, but each death results in the loss of all previous memories.'

Listening to Dong Yulan's account, Mu Sheng finally remembered where he was.

They also learned about the backgrounds of the old farmer and the female student in front of them.

A group of pitiful people trapped in the ghost realm of Caesars Palace Hotel, seeking liberation.

"I see. So you've been awake for several days now?"

Mu Sheng looked at Dong Yulan and the old farmer beside her with curiosity, wondering why they had been chosen.

Surely this ghost realm can't just resurrect these people for no reason?

Do they possess some qualities that vengeful ghosts need?

"I was resurrected two days ago, and retrieved the information I left behind before my death a day ago."

Dong Yulan hesitated for a moment before saying this: "It could have been the time before last, or the time before that, that one wrong step in this hotel could have cost you your life."

"I'm not sure if I had a chance to leave any information when I was resurrected last time."

“Wang Genquan was already here when I arrived; he must have been resurrected even earlier than me.”

As she spoke, Dong Yulan looked at the middle-aged man dressed as an old farmer standing to the side.

Wang Genquan didn't speak, but frowned and looked at Mu Sheng.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "You came in from outside, right?"

"Oh?"

Mu Sheng raised an eyebrow: "Why do you say that?"

Wang Genquan pointed to Mu Sheng's clothes, then to himself and Dong Yulan, and said with even greater certainty:

"Although it wasn't recorded in the information I left behind, your clothing and appearance are clearly different from the two of us."

"And your reaction just now further confirms my guess that you came in from outside the hotel."

By the end, Wang Genquan's tone was quite certain.

"Such keen observation skills!"

A hint of appreciation appeared on Mu Sheng's face. Perhaps this was why Wang Genquan had been chosen by this ghostly realm!

What about Dong Yulan?
Mu Sheng then looked at the woman with the headband beside him; there must be something special about her too.

Wang Genquan shook his head: "It's not that I have keen observation skills, but that your temperament is too special."

"In this hotel fraught with danger, which of us isn't living cautiously, afraid that we might accidentally trigger some taboo and lose our lives?"

"No matter how shocked they appear, they cannot completely hide the fear and anxiety in their hearts."

"But you're different!"

Wang Genquan stared at Mu Sheng: "You don't have any of that cautiousness you would show when in danger."

"Maybe I'm just brave?"

"That's not just being brave."

Wang Genquan glanced at the door with a large hole kicked in it and said, "It's more like a reckless act of being certain that no danger can harm them!"

Mu Sheng chuckled: "Your insight is quite suitable for becoming an Interpol agent!"

When facing those vengeful ghosts that cannot be killed, keen insight is more important than any other quality.

Only by deciphering the rules of ghosts' killings sooner can one have a better chance of survival in paranormal events.

Interpol?

Wang Genquan's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, and even Dong Yulan, who was standing next to him, kept her eyes fixed on Mu Sheng.

"They are a group of ghost tamers who work for the government."

Perhaps feeling that his explanation was not clear enough, Mu Sheng added: "A ghost tamer is someone who uses a living human body to control and command vengeful ghosts."

"A living person controlling a vengeful ghost!?"

"Can those terrifying things be controlled by living people?"

Wang Genquan and Dong Yulan were immediately shocked. They were trying to avoid those ghostly things, yet someone was actually trying to control them.

Are all the people outside this brave?
"Don't misunderstand, no one goes out of their way to die. Most ghost tamers are survivors who have survived supernatural events by sheer luck."

After Mu Sheng explained it this way, Wang Genquan and Dong Yulan were less shocked.

At the same time, the information that living people could control vengeful spirits also provided them with a lot of useful information.

If outsiders can control vengeful spirits, can't they do the same?
'If what this person said is true, once I become a ghost tamer, I'll have a better chance of protecting myself when I encounter ghosts in the future!'

'It will also make it easier to find a way out of here!'

Wang Genquan's heart stirred, but he did not rush to verify Mu Sheng's statement. Instead, he planned to record this important information first.

To control a vengeful ghost with the body of a living person—one can imagine the danger involved.

Wang Genquan doesn't consider himself a protagonist. The most important thing about his success is passing on this information to his future self.

Wang Genquan was still figuring out how to control the vengeful ghost after recording the information.

Meanwhile, Dong Yulan noticed something else.

"You came in from outside, so do you know how to leave? Can you take me away from here?"

Dong Yulan parted her lips slightly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Mu Sheng, her face full of longing.

"I'll do anything for you, just to get me out of here!"

As Dong Yulan spoke, she took a few steps forward, her alluring eyes naturally revealing the curves of her dress.

Mu Sheng took a sniff and immediately smelled the green tea scent on Dong Yulan.

Hmm, it's a bit salty, it tastes like seafood!

After looking Dong Yulan over once more, Mu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

She has a good figure and looks, and is a character in the story, so I might consider taking her in as a maid.

only.
"It's not hard to leave here, and it's not hard to get you out of here, but it's not so easy to get you out of here alive."

Although he didn't remember the details in the original work, Mu Sheng knew that someone who was resurrected by supernatural power could not possibly gain freedom so easily.

Leaving is not difficult, but leaving alive is not easy.

What is the logic?

Just as Dong Yulan was about to ask further, Mu Sheng continued:

"It doesn't matter, if you have the guts, come along. I can take you out when I leave."

"However, I can't guarantee whether you'll survive after leaving this hotel."

After saying that, Mu Sheng turned around and walked out of the room.

Since there were no ghosts here, he had no interest in wasting his time here.

Even if Wang Genquan and Dong Yulan possessed qualities that attracted ghosts, they weren't particularly appealing to Mu Sheng.

So what if they have special abilities? At most, they're just ghost tamers with the strength of two or three ghosts.

He suppressed so many top ghost tamers at headquarters with a single move. Could Wang Genquan and Dong Yulan be any more powerful than them?
Seeing that Mu Sheng had already stepped out of the room, Dong Yulan hesitated for a few seconds before finally deciding to chase after him.

The supplies in this safe house are running low. Even if she stays, she'll only be able to survive for a few more days.

Why not go and take a gamble!
As for passing on information related to the Ghost Tamer to the next person, isn't there Wang Genquan?

The older-looking man had clearly made a different choice from her, and Dong Yulan believed that the information about him would be passed down.

If she doesn't survive this time, the resurrected 'Dong Yulan' will also be able to get this information from Wang Genquan.

Would Wang Genquan conceal this information?

Dong Yulan thought the possibility was very small; one person's strength was too weak, and even if they controlled a vengeful ghost, it would be difficult to escape from here. Wang Genquan, unless he was stupid, wouldn't hide such important information.

Judging from the information he had left behind, this farmer-like man was clearly a smart person.

Mu Sheng had no idea that in just a few dozen seconds, Dong Yulan had already considered so much.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't have any reservations; on the contrary, he would appreciate Dong Yulan even more.

"This door is probably beyond repair!"

After Mu Sheng and Dong Yulan disappeared outside the door, Wang Genquan walked to the door and looked at the hole in the door with a headache.

There was a hole the size of a bowl in the door handle, and the door lock was completely broken. Wang Genquan didn't know where to start to fix it.

"Looks like we need to find another safe house."

Finding a reliable safe house in a hotel haunted by ghosts is no easy task.

After quietly tidying up the supplies in the room, Wang Genquan picked up the porcelain bowl that had been kicked over by the door and left with the supplies.

The door has been damaged; it's no longer safe here.

Furthermore, he also needed to record the relevant information about the Ghost Tamer in his intelligence points as soon as possible.

If all goes well, Wang Genquan will also try to control a ghost.

"I hope it will succeed!"

"Musheng, the danger zone is ahead. Ghosts could appear here at any time."

At the crossroads, Dong Yulan glanced at the room number next door and couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Although she had never been here before, judging from the records she left behind, she had died here the most times.

"It's better if there's danger, because the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

Mu Sheng looked at the maze-like hotel room in front of him with an indifferent expression.

Unlike typical hotel layouts, the Caesars Hotel has a complex layout with various intersections appearing frequently.

It's less like a hotel and more like a giant maze made up of individual rooms.

Apart from the room numbers, these hotel rooms look exactly the same from the outside.

"Room 88, this number is auspicious, let's start from here!"

Mu Sheng quickly chose his target, took a few steps forward, and kicked out.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the entire door flew off.

Dong Yulan, who was behind him, couldn't help but shudder. She had never seen such a brazen person before.

Being in the ghost realm, instead of acting carefully, he rampaged around like a bandit.

"He's so arrogant, he must have a lot of confidence!"

Dong Yulan felt even more confident that Mu Sheng could take her away from here.

He then jogged forward to the door of room 88, but instead of going in, he peeked inside.

She doesn't have Mu Sheng's strength, so it's always better to be careful.

The room was old and simple, but very clean, spotless.

A leather sofa was placed against the wall, and the leather on it was severely cracked and peeling.

It's the kind of thing that crumbles and falls off when you touch it.

Mu Sheng glanced around the room before focusing his attention on the old-fashioned television set opposite the sofa.

Under the dim light, this seemingly ordinary old-fashioned television set stood out remarkably in Mu Sheng's eyes.

The unique fluctuations of the rules belonging to the vengeful ghost were as bright as fireflies in the darkness in his eyes.

"Is it a ghost in the TV? Or is there a Sadako hiding inside?"

Mu Sheng stepped forward curiously and fumbled around on the old television set, preparing to turn it on and take a look.

Just as Mu Sheng's hand touched the old television set, the dark screen suddenly lit up, displaying only static.

"No signal?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Sheng raised his hand and began slapping the television cover repeatedly.

When I was a child, this was how they fixed the TV at home when it had no signal.

Sure enough, after Mu Sheng slapped it hard, an image quickly appeared on the television screen.

"Sadako, where is my Sadako?"

Mu Sheng pressed his face against the television, his eyes wide as he searched for something within it.

However, the image on the television screen was not the ancient well that Mu Sheng had expected, but a dimly lit room.

A yellowish chandelier, a green leather sofa, and a television set.

The television was showing footage of this very room.

The screen flickered a few times in the next second.

On the television screen, a blurry figure appeared on the green leather sofa.

Like a cavalry film with its censors blurred, you can only vaguely make out that it is a man with a chilling, terrifying smile on his pale face.

Mu Sheng frowned as he looked at the smiling face and gave his assessment: "He doesn't have the charisma of that clown!"

Just then, the TV screen flickered a few more times.

The ghost on the sofa suddenly stood in the living room.

Then the TV screen flickered again.

When the picture returned to normal, the ghost appeared right in the center of the television screen.

He went up to the old television set in the picture, stuck the ghost face on the screen, and stared wide-eyed as if he was spying on Musheng through the television screen.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Mu Sheng was not afraid at all. He stared wide-eyed at the TV screen, intently watching the ghost inside.

A few seconds later, the image on the screen changed again.

However, the ghost did not crawl out as Mu Sheng had expected. Instead, it set up the television in the picture and sat down to watch TV.

On the television screen, a handsome young man appeared.

"Wow! What a handsome and dashing young man! There is actually a man in this world with such a beautiful appearance."

Mu Sheng had only ever seen such a beautiful face on a group of virtuous people who were addicted to reading.

"Oh! It's me. Never mind then!"

Mu Sheng suppressed his surprise, and golden light burst forth from his body.

Golden light instantly filled the entire room and quickly shone into the television screen.

A dazzling golden light shot out from the television set on the screen and struck the ghost directly on the screen.

"Trying to play Multi-Ghost Domain with me? You're trash!"

"However, this supernatural ability is quite impressive!"

Under the mindless suppression of the ghost messengers, the TV ghost was instantly subdued.

Thanks to the contribution of the TV ghost, the communication methods in the underworld can be upgraded from text communication on human skin paper to voice and video communication.

"This hotel is truly a gem!"

Mu Sheng put away the TV ghost, turned and left the room, ready to explore the next secret realm.
