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

Chapter 60 The game begins——

Unlike the carnival scenes in the world of rat monsters, the real Rat Town is not so happy.

Three hours ago.

Nothing strange happened to the original body Zhong Xie after he returned to Rat Town, and he was happy to relax, lying on the bed on the first floor to recuperate.

This was really a way to conserve his energy. At the same time, he was watching the performance of the female rats through the eyes of Zhong Xie in the rat monster world. As he watched, he felt his body recover a little.

Sure enough, the dancing of a beautiful young female shrew is a great tonic for any human.

Feeling that he was able to stand up again, Zhong Xie was about to go out with Kuster to do some business, when he was stopped by the deputy captain.

"Just now the rats from the upstairs family came down. They wanted to find you to thank you, but I saw that you seemed very tired in bed, so I didn't call you." The deputy captain explained, and then said, "Your medicine cured his wife's illness. They are very happy for us to stay on the first floor temporarily, but he said that the rats in the neighbor's house next door are still making noises. Something is wrong, so he plans to go out to check the situation."

Zhong Xie pricked up his ears and listened for a while. He found that the screams of the ratmen on the street seemed to have stopped. He asked curiously, "Did he solve this matter?"

The deputy captain shook his head: "He didn't come back. I tried to look for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere. There were only the bodies of the ratmen."

He continued, "The screaming ratmen at the door of every house were beaten to death. Judging from the situation at the scene, it was probably the ghost storyteller with the mace across the street. He seemed to be unable to stand these ratmen, so he started killing them along the street, wanting to kill them all."

"Okay, you stay at home, I'll go out and check the situation. I just happened to have something to go out for." Zhong Xie understood and gave these people a task. "Since the Shushu family has no objection, you can dismantle their furniture and make some large round frames later. Otherwise, the train will not be able to enter the station."

"Train?" The team doctor was full of question marks.

"Well, I have a few trains at home. You can help build the framework. I have already found the captain and his men in the Rat Monster World. I will be back after things are dealt with there." Zhong Xie answered simply, "The Rat Monster hasn't fully woken up yet, so there's no need to worry too much."

There is really no need to worry too much. If something really happens, I'm afraid the real Rat Town will not be implicated in the first place.

Rat and Rat Ghost Story will definitely deal with the turmoil in the rat and rat monster world first and will have no time to deal with reality.

Although what Zhong Xie said was crazy, it was not the first time he did so, so the other people present did not find it particularly strange. They just tried to analyze his meaning from Zhong Xie's words.

In short, we need to make a large frame, so that we can pick up the people who have mistakenly entered the rat monster world later.

Thinking of this, the few people who stayed in the room in Rat Town couldn't help but look up to Zhong Xie, the guide, again. Since entering Wangcheng, Zhong Xie, a ghost storyteller who is only at level 10, has been performing at a super high level and has repeatedly saved the team from dire straits.

It is totally worth spending the black ghost story egg and black entry to hire Zhong Xie as a guide.

Shen Junyi deeply agreed with this point.

He was a guy who was proud to his core. Not long after he mastered the art of ghost stories, his actual combat power reached nearly level 40, which was the standard for a T3 ghost story master. However, he had never taken the exam, so his actual ghost story level was only in the early 30s.

Shen Junyi has never intended to compete with people of his age, because there are almost no people of his age who can beat him. He has always held himself to high standards and will not have too much contact with ghost stories of the same age, let alone any desire to compare with others. After coming into contact with ghost stories, he basically participates in training as a temporary apprentice in dojo in different cities.

For him, this was not arrogance, but his destiny had already been properly arranged.

Even if he has almost top-notch ghost story resources and the best training conditions, if he still cannot crush his peers, it only means that he is a waste.

This time, the special forces entered Wangcheng to search for the ghost egg of the second ghost story because of their family's request, but he entered Wangcheng because of his own request.

According to his family's idea, it would be enough for him to just stay at home and wait for the arrival of the second ghost egg. There was no need for him to take risks for the time being.

This is related to the first ghost story he cultivated. This knife has never been "sharpened" until now, because he needs to keep sharpening the knife with his own will. Only when the day comes when it is "sharpened" can he officially become a master, and he no longer has to suppress the level of his own ghost story.

After sharpening, he will do his best to improve his strength, cooperate with the "Second Ghost Story" that he may capture and the two silver-quality ghost stories he currently owns, upgrade to the T1 level within three years, and then die on the battlefield at the forefront of humanity's fight against ghost stories.

Just like his sister.

The family has a military background, and the purpose of training the younger generation to become ghost story masters has never been to use powerful forces to protect themselves in troubled times. That kind of thing is no longer meaningful for a family of this level.

What they want to do more is to end the troubled times, so they use their children who have excellent potential for ghost stories as embryos, sharpen their edges as much as possible, and forge them into the sharpest swords to pierce the chest of the root of ghost stories.

Some of the trained T1 gradient ghost story masters have mastered powerful strength, but they are also extremely afraid of their lives and are no longer willing to serve as the sharpest sword.

It's very simple.

Almost every city has at least one Root Ghost. Facing a ghost of this level, even the most powerful T1 gradient ghost masters in the current Eastern Theater may die inexplicably without even the slightest chance of resurrection.

Root Tales may erase all traces of your existence from "history" and you will never have existed.

No one wants to keep fighting, so strange people like Shen Junyi appear.

He knew that not everyone shared the same idea as his family. There were definitely some weird families with the mindset of warlords in troubled times, but he was different. He always knew his mission.

Since all these strange stories essentially come from the people, they should naturally be returned to the people.

It was precisely because of his support behind the scenes that the reward for the guide Zhong Xie on this mission was so generous. However, it seems that it was still too little.

Zhong Xie was a person that Shen Junyi couldn't understand. He didn't understand why someone could solve matters related to ghost stories without relying on ghost stories at all.

This makes him seem very stupid despite all the effort he put into sharpening the blade.

Zhong Xie naturally didn't care what others thought. He just rode a tricycle and started walking around the streets shouting:

"I'm collecting cardboard boxes. Worn copper, rotten iron, cardboard boxes—"

The materials for making the frame were far from enough. He estimated that it would take several train trips to make it, or he would have to customize some carriages for his train babies.

After all, without carriages, their transport capacity is really limited. Following the street forward, he noticed that all the screaming rats along the way were indeed hammered to death, without exception.

Zhong Xie also had some bad associations in his mind, because he remembered what the rat-headed man had said during the chaos.

What is being passed in the game of pass the flower is "murderous intention", which means that the game is not that simple. He actually indulged the desires of the mice in the game, but the killing caused by the weirdness does not exist, which is also what has been confusing him.

Does anyone really think that "improve one point and kill a thousand people" is just talk?

At that time, Zhong Xie was already prepared for the rats to kill each other for points, but the expected thing did not happen.

The killing occurred in Rat Town instead.

Could it be that the so-called "murderous intent" had already left the Rat Monster World earlier and ran to the real Rat Town?

Zhong Xie collected the scraps he liked along the way. Since all the rats' families had lost their loved ones, no one cared about him picking up stuff.

When he returned to the mouse house after hanging out outside for an hour, he immediately discovered that his house had been robbed.

The tables and chairs were tilted to one side and the pots and pans were broken all over the floor. There were also several large, smooth, round holes on the wall, as if some thugs had just come here to collect loan sharks.

Zhong Xie also noticed that the team doctor's glasses were broken on the ground, one lens was intact, and the other was shattered into pieces.

Judging from the traces of a fight at the scene, something must have hit him. He could feel the rapidly changing weird atmosphere here, but there wasn't much blood.

It is estimated that the deputy captain and his men are not dead, they were just taken away.

Zhong Xie thought about it, picked up the team doctor's glasses, stuffed the broken lenses into the frame, and then put on the glasses.

Well, it's barely usable.

Next, he rearranged the tables and chairs, swept up the garbage and dumped it in the neighbor's backyard, and finally took the round and square frames piled in the room, moved them all onto the tricycle, and prepared to set up the game venue for the second round.

Thanks to this unexpected incident, he had an idea for the second round of the game.

This time he plans to use the real Rat Town as the venue for the party, so it can be considered as "starting from scratch."

No one except the rats in Rat Town could take the deputy captain and his men away. If it was done by the Rat Monster, then Zhong Xie felt that there would be no signs of a fight in the Rat House.

Obviously, it was done by those dozens of ghost messengers in the hexagonal nest. They finally discovered the deputy captain and his men who were very close.

Zhong Xie in the world of rat monsters also fulfilled the treaty. With the help of the real Zhong Xie, he brought the rat people who ranked in the top 30% of the points to the real world, about three or four hundred rat people. Then he arranged these rats in various rooms in the Rat Town.

The rules of the game are not too difficult. "Rat lives are precious", as the name suggests, the thirty monsters in the hexagonal nests act as "rats". Each of their organs is on the price list and can be used to exchange for points, and a complete rat is priced at a sky-high price.

The rat winners who enter the reality are not allowed to take any offensive actions against these ghost stories. Only the rats in the rat monster world can attack these "rats". The rat winners can only provide information to their companions in the rat monster world.

Since these winners have returned to reality, their friends and relatives may not have all returned. In addition, Zhong Xie promised extra rewards to the winners, so they are also very enthusiastic about the second round of the game.

After all, the rules of Zhongxie’s game are very interesting. Where have the mice, who are tired of playing pass the flower and hide-and-seek, ever seen such a fun game?
The rats in reality assist the rats in the rat monster world to hunt the "rats" in reality. Due to the gap between the two worlds, they need to use "conversion" and "framework" to influence the real-life ghost story masters.

Since the winners have ulterior motives, the information they provide may be false.

A "rat's life is precious" game full of help and betrayal, truth and falsehood. All the gifts given to the mice are secretly marked with a price by fate.

A moment later, Zhong Xie knocked on the door of the house opposite.

The one who opened the door was the skinny ghost story teller. He looked at the gentle Zhong Xie wearing glasses with surprise and said jokingly, "Oh? Are you looking for death alone, kid?"

He scanned Zhong Xie from head to toe and shouted into the house, "Another new toy has arrived. It's his turn this time!"

"Run, Zhong Xie! Go and call the captain back first, run away!" The deputy captain's powerful voice came from the house.

Judging from the sound, he probably hasn't been caught for long. That will make things easy.

Zhong Xie didn't move, he just twitched his nose twice. The smell coming from the house was not very pleasant, but he still smiled very professionally and said, "You have a special game express, please check it."

"What game is this? Are you crazy?" The thin man was full of suspicion. The man in front of him looked fearless, and he was inexplicably afraid.

Unfortunately, the weird atmosphere emanating from Zhong Xie was too weak, and he laughed out loud: "I want to see what game you want to play with me."

Zhong Xie shrugged, took off his glasses and handed them to the thin man, motioning him to take another look.

The thin man put on his glasses and his eyes suddenly widened.

The lens is another medium, so he completed the "conversion" and saw the scene behind Zhong Xie.

There were thousands of rat people, full of enthusiasm and smiles, eager to start the game.

"Seno~"

Zhong Xie chuckled.

"Games start."

　Hehe, I only need a few dozen monthly tickets to enter the lottery, hehehe
