This bug is amazing!

Chapter 177 The Hasty Third Game
The little boy looked like he was about to cry when he saw this.

[Due to the Haunted Tower's nature of forced confinement, it was unable to drive away Hei Yi.]

As the only external extension of the Ghost Tower, the little boy can manifest the Ghost Tower's emotions to some extent. Clearly, now that it has this creature "swallowed" and can't spit it out, the Ghost Tower is terrified of you.

'Hakiro's scared already?'

Ji Yi chuckled to himself.

Hei Yi is a born destroyer, and Ji Yi has a good idea of ​​what Hei Yi might do inside the haunted building.

When it is fully released within Ji Yi's body, it can reach the SS level. Now, without a physical body and with its soul separated, it can still achieve strength surpassing the S level.

In this situation, the Ghost Tower can suppress and trap Hei Yi with its rules, but Hei Yi can also have a great deal of freedom as long as it does not leave the Ghost Tower's area.

Unexpectedly, this ability to forcibly detain people completely harmed the Ghost Tower itself.

The reason why the haunted building has the ability to trap ghost stories is more like recruiting people to join it, thereby gaining self-improvement and protection. Its biggest weakness is that it cannot move, which is why it evolved the ability to capture ghost stories as security.

But all of this is based on the premise that the Ghost Tower can control the strange tales that enter it. Once a creature with greater power than itself appears, the situation is likely to deviate from its own control.

Moreover, Hei Yi is unruly and has an insatiable desire for destruction. She would never follow the Gui Lou's "mutual protection and cooperation" strategy. On the contrary, she would be extremely disgusted with being imprisoned.

This creates a situation of mutual torment.

All of this was thanks to Ji Yi, so it was perfectly normal for Gui Lou to avoid Ji Yi like the plague.

"Putting everything else aside for now, what should be the reward for passing this level?"

Ji Yi stretched out her palm and gave the little boy a meaningful look.

Seeing this, the little boy nodded repeatedly and immediately took out an object from his hand—a writhing lump of flesh:

【Name: Proliferated Flesh】

[Type: Other]

[Quality: perfect]

[Effect: Causes the flesh and blood to regenerate, which can be used to heal external injuries such as severed limbs, but there is a high chance of inflicting the debuff "Flesh Abnormality", which disappears after leaving the dungeon.]

[Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes]

[Note: I have a bold idea now]

Ji Yi's eyes lit up after reading the item description, and she glanced at the three of them: "I'll take it."

Xiao Mang quickly interrupted, "It's definitely yours. We didn't contribute much to this dungeon run."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hei Yi with lingering fear.

No matter how you look at it, Ji Yi not only didn't die this time, but also had a dark-skinned guy who looked just like him force and suppress the little boy. Even the dumbest person could see the situation clearly.

The others, who were staring blankly at Hei Yi and the mischievous boy he was hugging, suddenly realized what was happening: "Brother Ji, take this. It'll be very helpful for your [Rotten Cradle], won't it?"

Ji Yi smiled and said, "Alright, since everyone thinks it's my turn to take it, then I won't be polite."

As he spoke, he did not immediately put the things away.

Instead, he took out the [Rotten Cradle], and then took out a dagger.

brush--

One of his index fingers was cut off, and blood gushed out, splattering on his composed face.

Even the top scumbag was shocked. Doesn't this guy feel any pain?!
Ji Yi herself found it strange. She could feel the pain at the broken end of her finger was incredibly real, but she felt no fear at all. Even the physiological reactions that should have been caused by the pain disappeared.

However, the pain was still uncomfortable, so he quickly used the item [Flesh Proliferation].

Bone quickly grew from the severed finger, and its shape and size seemed normal.

Next came the flesh and blood, and the mutation began to appear. Black muscles and red blood vessels intertwined, eventually growing into a purplish-black finger. The nail was no longer blunt and thin, but more like the claw of a wild beast.

[Luckily, at least this mutation is indistinguishable from the original in terms of flesh and blood size.]

[Gained Buff: Flesh Aberration]

[Debuff: Some abnormalities have occurred in parts of your body, but the impact is not significant at the moment. Perhaps when the abnormalities reach a certain level, your body will undergo some kind of qualitative change.]

Looking at the new entries in the status bar, Ji Yi couldn't help but mutter to herself:

This description is too vague.

Data Eye provides expanded explanations as needed:

Don't worry, significant flesh deformities won't have any major negative effects; at most, it will just make it difficult to control the deformed areas.

As expected, this treatment method has significant limitations.

It's impossible to exploit a bug to farm unlimited flesh anymore; there aren't many opportunities to feed the ghost infants each time you run a dungeon.

'But there seem to be other advantages as well.'

Ji Yi looked at the mutated index finger and tried to move it; it was just as obedient as the original one.

Try making a fist again, and you can feel a clear imbalance in muscle strength; this index finger is too strong.

Guan Yu said, “I have a plan that may allow me to transform into a ghost or god and be invincible. You must try it.”

Ji Yi: "."

Silently picking up the severed finger that had fallen to the ground, Ji Yi threw it directly into the decaying cradle.

The severed finger seemed to have been thrown into an abyss, and a series of eerie gnawing sounds came from the dark cradle, but the sounds only lasted for a few moments before disappearing.

[Current infant feeding progress: 0.1%]

With just one finger, this kind of progress was to be expected.

If calculated by weight, Ji Yi would need to sacrifice the flesh and blood of an entire body to reach 100% progress.

If safety is guaranteed, such as entering a specific instance to grind progress, it probably won't take too much effort.

Having figured this out, Ji Yi put the two items away.

The little boy was still staring at him longingly, while Hei Yi was hugging the mischievous boy, looking at the little boy as if he were a toy.

Having seemingly vented his anger, Hei Yi appeared quite patient, waiting for Ji Yi to speak.

It wasn't that he wanted to help Ji Yi, but that it was the only thing he could do right now.

Only when Ji Yi has the strength to return to the Ghost Tower and is brought back can he have the opportunity to possess Ji Yi's body and achieve his own goals.

Otherwise, given his current state, he would be completely adrift, like a rootless duckweed. Even if he left the Haunted Building or the Forbidden Zone of Strange Tales, he might not be able to maintain his current state.

On another level, Hei Yi doesn't need to worry about Ji Yi not returning. The consequences of losing a soul are more serious than imagined, even if they are not yet apparent.

For these reasons, Hei Yi and Ji Yi have now formed a rare alliance-like relationship.

Now that Ji Yi was feeling confident and fearless, how could he possibly let go of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

"I remember you said before that you wanted to play until you died?"

Ji Yi looked at the little boy with ill intent.

The little boy shook his head frantically: "I...I was just talking nonsense. Three rounds, you can leave once you win three rounds, that's the rule of the haunted building."

"Well said. I like to follow the rules; I'm a person who values ​​order."

Are you referring to the relentless pursuit of bugs?

Ignoring the power of data, Ji Yi pointed to the deformed index finger in his hand:

"Let's play one more game and then we'll leave. I'm not exactly free, what do you think?"

The little boy hesitated, wanting to say no.

"Ok?"

Hei Yi leaned over with an unfriendly expression and raised his fist, which was as big as a sandbag.

"Okay. Then, let's play another game."

The little boy looked like he was about to cry but had no tears left.

Hei Yi and Ji Yi both revealed satisfied, wicked smiles.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat at the sight. This corrupted Ji Yi was practically a carbon copy of Ji Yi! "What are you playing? Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

Hei Yi threatened sharply, while tightly hugging the mischievous girl beside her: "I still have to deal with this brat, I don't have time to waste with you."

After saying that, the mischievous girl trembled all over, her eyes filled with three parts fear and three parts anticipation. She pressed herself closer to Hei Yi, her thighs pressed tightly together. If you looked closely, you could see that her legs were trembling.

[They've even devoured your separated consciousness. Look at you now, do you think we'll see you lose your virginity within two million words?]

'Too talkative!'

It slammed into his eye socket with a thud.

Panties & Little Busy & Number One Fallen: "?"

The three players were startled by Ji Yi's actions, but they didn't dare to say anything.

The little boy said timidly, "It's a game of hide-and-seek. You hide, and I'll find you."

Ji Yi nodded, exchanged a glance with Hei Yi, and then looked at the little boy and said:

Let's talk about the rules.

Soon, the final game began.

The rules of the game are simple: there is a 10-minute time limit, during which four players must find a hiding place, and the little boy must also participate in the game, with a half-hour time limit to find someone.

The person caught by the little boy will die.

Normally speaking, this is also a doomed situation, no less difficult than the previous two.

Because the little boy is part of the haunted building, he can easily track the movements of others.

Even with her speed advantage, Ji Yi was destined to lose if she played hide-and-seek with the little boy in the haunted building.

This seemingly hopeless situation was completely transformed by the appearance of Hei Yi.

Boom boom boom!
The reinforced concrete floor groaned mournfully.

Under the influence of the strange force, the building was not easily destroyed, but at this moment, accompanied by a rhythmic rumbling sound, the floor of this floor collapsed.

Then the thumping sound continued to echo from below.

"Hey kid, what are you still doing up there? Didn't I tell you to come over and record this?! If you dare to slack off, believe me, I'll spank your bottom until it's bruised and battered?!"

With a furious curse from Hei Yi.

The little boy, holding a camera, jumped down from the pit and cautiously pointed the lens at Hei Yi and the mischievous boy.

【Name: Ghost Camera】

[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

Rating: S-

[Introduction: A supernatural phenomenon involving objects possessing self-awareness. Those captured in its image are cursed, and Hei Yi has developed some gameplay variations based on it.]

Looking down into the pit from a height of seven or eight stories, Ji Yi gazed down at the hole.

【Name: Mischievous Kid (Weak Version)】

[Status Acquired: Ultimate Sensory Enhancement, Loss of Voice, Doubled Perception, Sensitivity, Weakness, Backlash from Desire, Dominated]

【Name: Black Momiji (Enhanced Version)】

[Gained Status: Dominator, Tyranny, Weapon Enhancement, Attack Speed ​​Enhancement, Stamina Enhancement]

"Wow, that's fucking insane."

As a series of booming sounds came from below, Ji Yi shook his head repeatedly.

As a righteous person, he needs to sever ties with the dark side of his soul.

How could he possibly be so cruel?

Seeing the mischievous boy roll his eyes and open his mouth but unable to make a sound, even Ji Yi felt it was somewhat inhumane.

However, considering that the mischievous girl almost got herself killed, from that perspective, she deserved to suffer.

Looking at the three people beside him, who were lying on the edge of the pit watching with great interest.

Panties licked her lips and looked up at Ji Yi:

"Brother Ji, how did you do that? Can you teach me? By the way, can you experience the feeling of creating a clone in real time? How does it feel?"

Ji Yi: "."

Ignoring the panties, Ji Yi kicked the number one slump:
"How have you decided? Do you want to abandon the darkness and embrace the light?"

After witnessing Hei Yi's abilities, the number one scoundrel dared not utter a word of dissent and immediately stood up, replying, "If you do not despise me, I am willing to become your godfather!"

"Hehe, I have too many adopted sons, one more won't make a difference. Since you've decided to join us, you should show some sincerity."

As she spoke, Ji Yi's gaze sharpened:
"What's the deal with that instance fragment? Is it related to the Headhunter Alliance's recent big moves?"

Upon hearing this, the number one loser was suddenly shocked. How did Ji Yi know so much inside information?

He felt increasingly that the man in front of him was terrifying. Some of the previous rumors were completely untrue. Just judging from Ji Yi's rampage in the S+ level haunted building, even Zui Wan Gu Hong couldn't compare.

It's fortunate that he now has the opportunity to seek refuge with the authorities; otherwise, if he had offended someone like Ji Yi, he would have had no chance of survival.

Thinking about this, on the one hand, my fear of Ji Yi intensified, and on the other hand, I felt fortunate.

The number one loser glanced hesitantly at Panty and Little Busy, then looked at Ji Yi: "Shall we talk here?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yi pondered for a moment and then made a decision:
"Okay, please log out first."

Number One Loser: "Huh?"

Ji Yi continued, "Don't ask any more questions. I have my reasons for letting you leave now. Also, I hope you won't take this opportunity to run away; that's not a wise choice."

The number one scoundrel hurriedly shook his head: "Absolutely not! Please give your instructions."

[I'm not lying.]

"Very good," Ji Yi nodded, then told the number one loser how to contact Zui Wan Gu Hong.

"When the time comes, you give him your address, and he will send someone to pick you up and help you remove the GPS tracker from your body."

The number one loser nodded seriously and took note.

“We might need to stay in this instance for many more days, so to avoid wasting time, you should set off now. As for the question I just asked, just tell Gu Hong directly, and he will know how to handle it.”

"Okay! I've got it."

"Ah."

Actually, there's another reason why Ji Yi is rushing to leave now, even though he's the number one flop.

One of them is that Ye Luoyanyu is still in this instance.

The number one scoundrel might not recognize Ye Luo, but Ye Luo definitely will. When they communicate and contact each other in private, if Ye Luo, that cunning old fox, manages to glean any information, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, he is extremely good at deceiving people, and Ji Yi cannot guarantee that she will still be able to control the situation when she meets Ye Luo.

Therefore, the number one loser should leave now.

After an unknown amount of time, the number one idiot disappeared into the haunted building with the logout button in hand.

The forty-minute ghost-catching game has come to an end.

"Cool!"

Hei Yi shouted, grabbed the little boy by the back of the neck, and leaped up, traversing dozens of floors, arriving in front of Ji Yi in an instant.

Seeing that someone was missing, Ji Yi subconsciously looked down into the pit and saw a figure with its feet up in the air.

[Hmm, he's not dead yet. Let's pay tribute to the legendary, mischievous King.]

　Yu Yu, it's already great that you can update at all.

　　I'll update more when I'm feeling better.
