This bug is amazing!

Chapter 4 The Red Telephone Booth

Difficulty: ▇▇ (Error)

[Dungeon difficulty is being adjusted]

[Corrected]

[Difficulty: Nightmare]

The sea breeze blows.

A damp chill swept through the quiet night.

In the gloomy, dark room, two candles were placed on one side of the table.

One of them is burning.

The other one is extinguished.

Hao Youqian held the cards, frowning in thought. There was only one candle left on his right, which meant he only had one life left in this game.

He's playing cards with a ghost.

The blurry black figure before him awaited his next move.

Player "Ji Yi" (LV.7) joins the dungeon.

[Dungeon difficulty has been changed]

[Current Dungeon Difficulty: Nightmare]

"Fuck you!"

Hao Youqian cursed loudly, watching helplessly as the attack and health values ​​of the monsters in the opposite summoning area doubled.

"The difficult difficulty level was already hard enough! And now that this guy named Kiba has come in, the difficulty has increased even more!"

The problem is, this dog Jiba doesn't look like a top-tier character at all; it's only level 7!

This game is unplayable right now!
We can't win!

"I choose my parents as sacrifices! Synchro Summon 'Hundred-Eyed Demon King' and banish all monsters opposite!"

Hao Youqian slammed the cards on the table and then reached out to try to forcibly take the cards from the opposite area.

"what!"

With a scream, the candle went out, and the room fell into darkness.

Player "Hao Youqian" (LV.14) has died.

Looking at the message that suddenly appeared before him.

Ji Yi was taken aback.

"That's so bad, he died as soon as he entered the game."

Fortunately, this guy named Hao Youqian is of a high level and can withstand the death penalty.

Ji Yi had already looked into it in the Frequently Asked Questions section.

The penalty for dying in a dungeon is level deletion.

There is no death penalty in Easy difficulty, Normal difficulty removes 1 level, Hard difficulty removes 2 levels, Nightmare difficulty removes 3 levels, and Hell difficulty removes 5 levels.

If your level is insufficient, you will truly die.

This is a brutal game of life and death; leveling up is nowhere near as efficient as dying in a high-difficulty dungeon.

The margin for error is quite low.

Fortunately, there are insurance items for sale in the game store that can force you to exit a dungeon.

Although a forced exit will cause the instance to fail, there will be no level deletion penalty since no one dies.

But this prop is very expensive.

Put away your thoughts.

Look around at your surroundings.

It was nighttime, and he was on a narrow street lined with Japanese-style duplex houses and the occasional telephone pole.

The dim streetlights stretched into the distance, with a few broken lights visible from time to time.

The area where the lights were broken was plunged into a deathly darkness.

The cramped streets and oppressive darkness made Ji Yi feel suffocated.

So he took off his sweater and put it on right side.

"This body isn't mine."

[Attribute values ​​are locked]

Some items are now disabled.

Ji Yi looked at her dim personal stats and the grayed-out Compound No. 5 in her inventory.

This is definitely targeted!
This game is messing with him!

The advantage of the panel built using the bug is now completely gone!

Fortunately, the skills and the two pieces of equipment I have are still usable.

Because it was set to hidden, the ring and cloak were not displayed, but the equipment slots were all colored, indicating that the effect was still in effect.

Since the skills have already been learned, they can still be used normally even if the attribute values ​​are not high enough.

Looking at one side of the screen, several teammates are displayed.

[Tang Hulu LV.12: Survival]

[Hao Youqian LV.14: Death]

[Zhuge Light Bulb LV.11: Survival]

Schrödinger's Cat LV.13: Survival

[Chicken Leg Immortal LV.9: Survival]

It doesn't look like a real name at all.

Ji Yi remembered that the first purchase of a name change card in the game store was free.

"It's best to go and meet up with your teammates first."

Although reason tells him that the best strategy is to gather information as much as possible first and then share it with teammates at the crucial moment.

But
He is cowardly.

The quiet darkness seemed to conceal countless eyes.

night,
It's so quiet.

Not a single light was on in the houses along the street; it looked like a ghost town.

Dengdengdeng.

Only Ji Yi's footsteps echoed in my ears.

Having already passed three streetlights, the fourth streetlight ahead was broken, making it impossible to see anything ahead.

This is very strange. Even if the lights are broken, there shouldn't be absolutely no visibility.

Without hesitation, he immediately crossed the road and came to the other side of the street.

Fortunately, none of the streetlights on the opposite side were damaged at the same time.

move on.

After passing a few more streetlights, I came across a broken one.

Ji Yi crossed the street again and came to the other side.

We just passed through.

His peripheral vision flickered.

The street lamp, which had been silent, suddenly lit up.

At the same time, a red telephone booth appeared conspicuously directly below the lamp.

"Ring ring ring!!!"

A sharp ringtone sounded.

The sound came from a phone booth; it was very loud and echoed throughout the street.

Ji Yi frowned, chose to ignore it, and strode forward.

"Ring ring ring!!!"

The phone was still ringing.

Ji Yi quickened her pace and passed through four streetlights in one breath.

"Ring ring ring!!!"

They had clearly traveled quite a distance, but the phone ringing showed no signs of slowing down.

The sound was even louder, as if it were right next to Ji Yi's ear.

"Tsk."

"It seems I have no choice but to accept it."

Ji Yi turned around and walked towards the phone booth.

“Lingling—da.”

The phone rang halfway through when Ji Yi picked up the receiver:

"Is the baby's tummy making thunder?"

"."

There was no sound from the other end of the receiver.

"Is my tummy rumbling with thunder?"

"."

"Is Lei Lei baby hitting his tummy?"

"save"

"Fight... Huh? What did you say?"

"help me"

A little girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, seemingly sobbing.

"How to save you?"

Ji Yi asked.

"Help me...find...find me."

The girl's voice sounded very pitiful.

"Okay, where are you? I'll be right there."

[Skill activated: Pigeon Curse]

[Gained Buff: Next Time Forever]

[Next Time Forever (Buff): During the duration of this effect, you will never be able to reach the designated location (countdown: 5:59:59)]

"."

Click.

Ji Yi hung up the phone.

[Gained Buff: Misaki's Curse]

【Misaki's Curse (Debuff): Find all of Misaki's bodies within the time limit, or die (Countdown: 3:59:59)】

".?"

Inside a Japanese-style bedroom.

Tang Hulu huddled trembling in a corner of the tatami mat.

In front of me was an old-fashioned CRT television, its screen flickering with a distorted display.

Ever since he entered the bedroom, the sliding door has closed by itself and can no longer be opened.

He clearly cut the television cable.
The television screen was still on.

It’s so annoying!

Suddenly.

An image appeared on the screen.

It was a female ghost with long hair and dressed in white.

She kept her head down, her hair completely covering her face.

Slowly, she stretched out a hand.

A hand reached through the screen and out of the television.
Then came the head, followed by another pale hand.
"You...you...don't come any closer! Or I'll get rough!"

Tang Hulu cried out in alarm, trembling.

The female ghost ignored him, and half of her body was already sticking out of the television.

"Please baby, turn around!"

[Skill activated: Please turn around, baby]

[Effect: Forcefully change the front/back/positive/negative state of a unit]

[Activation condition: Shout "Please turn around, baby!"]

[Note: When viewing fireworks, should you look at them from below or from the side? Round or flat? I think you no longer have this problem.]

The female ghost is upside down.

clap clap clap! ! !
*Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!*
After slapping himself seven times in a row, Ji Yi cursed under his breath:
"I'm an idiot."
