Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong
Chapter 237 Zombies driving hearses to deliver packages... It makes perfect sense.
"Holy crap, a zombie!"
Li Qian pointed at the zombie deliveryman and exclaimed in surprise.
I just said there might be ghosts here, and then suddenly I saw one?
"He also said he was a deliveryman?" Li Qian looked at Fan Chen with disbelief in her big eyes.
"He came to deliver something to me," Fan Chen quickly explained.
After exchanging merit points for bizarre items at the Special Administration Bureau, they naturally cannot be delivered through official channels.
The Special Administration has a delivery department composed of zombie ghosts.
The name "Ghost Tong" may have come from some people's perverse sense of humor.
Fan Chen had seen the zombie courier before when he exchanged items such as the Snow-Slaying Blade and the Soul-Binding Red Thread.
Even ordinary people can see zombies, which are physical entities, without any difficulty.
Not every zombie member under the Special Administration Bureau can maintain the appearance of a normal person like Liu Changshou.
This time, Fan Chen exchanged for a protective magic array to ensure that they would not be attacked by ghosts when entering the strange world.
Fan Chen looked at the board-like object that the zombie courier was carrying; clearly, this was the item he had redeemed.
"The formation needs to be set up in the basement. Please follow me," Fan Chen said.
He led the deliveryman into the villa, glancing at An Ran.
An Ran nodded and walked up to the terrified assistant.
"Sister An, there's a ghost, there's a ghost..." she repeated, pointing at the zombie deliveryman.
"Where are you looking for ghosts? You're just dreaming."
"Once you wake up, you'll forget all of this..."
An Ran said gently.
The assistant's panicked expression gradually calmed down.
What she didn't see was that bandages were sticking out from An Ran's body and landing on her head.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep to Anran's voice.
When she wakes up, she will only vaguely remember what she dreamed about, but she will not remember anything that happened in the dream.
Previously in Shanghai, she witnessed Zhou Muchen being "possessed" by an evil spirit and then being saved by Fan Chen.
Afterwards, she was hypnotized by An Ran, which gave her the intuitive impression that Zhou Muchen had simply fainted due to overwork.
After the assistant fell into a deep sleep, An Ran carried her to the sofa.
When An Ran entered the basement, the zombie deliveryman had already opened the board wrapped in yellow paper.
Inside was a full-length mirror, about the height of a person, with a vintage design. There were a few cracks in one corner of the mirror, stained with bloodstains.
This mirror is the core of the protective magic array.
It is itself a strange object.
Fan Chen, Zhou Muchen, and Li Qian were gathered in front of the mirror, curiously examining themselves.
Their reflections were visible in the mirror.
But as if filtered by some eerie lens, the reflections all carried a sinister aura, with blood flowing from all seven orifices, a gloomy face, and a deathly bluish-gray hue.
Moreover, these reflections merely appear, standing inside the mirror, without any corresponding actions from the original owner outside the mirror.
"This mirror is cursed and brings bad luck."
The zombie deliveryman began to explain.
"It reflects the lifelessness of the person looking in the mirror. If you stand in front of the mirror for a long time, you will gradually change into the state reflected in the mirror."
"Remember to cover it with a cloth when not in use."
"The protective array that Mr. Fan Chen exchanged, the Moon in the Mirror, is centered around it."
"Before entering the eerie world, as long as your image is reflected in the mirror, you will be sent to the mirror world."
"We have experimented and found that when you are in the mirror world, no external influence can harm you."
After setting up the cursed dressing mirror, the deliveryman took out several palm-sized broken mirrors and placed them in various locations in the basement.
Then he handed a broken mirror to Fan Chen.
This is the control center of the Moon in the Mirror; Fan Chen can use it to control the opening and closing of the formation.
With the protective array in place, Fan Chen and the others will no longer have to worry about their physical bodies being harmed when they enter the strange world again.
Becoming an investigator and gaining bizarre abilities in the real world makes one more susceptible to attracting ghosts.
Although the probability is not high, we must take precautions.
Not to mention that he had just offended the mysterious organization, it's hard to say whether they would take advantage of Fan Chen's online presence to cause trouble through the internet.
It took a total of 1,200 merit points to create this formation.
Because it was helpful to everyone, the credit was shared by all four of them.
Zhou Muchen had just acquired the strange ability and had not yet fully mastered the human skin lantern inside his body.
Li Qian only knew that reality was strange, but she did not possess any strange abilities. She was an insider who had experienced strange events.
Although the two did not officially become investigators outside the Special Administration Bureau, they were already able to use their respective merits.
Killing cultists, assisting in perfect completion of levels, and collecting dungeon information are all ways to secretly accumulate merit points for them, but they couldn't be used before.
"The protective array and the Special Administration Bureau base are connected. Using the control center in your hands, you can directly contact your contact person from now on, ignoring any obstacles."
The deliveryman then pointed to the broken mirror in Fan Chen's hand.
Fan Chen immediately gave it a try.
"Su Wanwan?" he asked the mirror in his hand.
"I am here."
Su Wanwan's voice rang out, and her alluring figure appeared on the shattered mirror.
Fan Chen found it quite interesting and casually asked:
"If a supernatural being resurrects or an eerie entity descends and tries to harm us while we are online, can the Moon in the Mirror protect us?"
"sure."
Su Wanwan replied with a smile:
"The core ability of 'Moon in the Mirror' comes from Qiao Long, the guild leader of the Dragon Fang Guild and the strongest mysterious player in China."
"He merged with a mirror ghost in a bizarre world and was supernaturally revived, gaining his own mirror world."
"The essence of the moon in the mirror is to send you into the president's mirror world."
"Unless Guild Master Dragon Fang dies, no one can harm you."
"I can tell you in the simplest, most straightforward, and most responsible way that the moon in the mirror is absolutely safe."
Fan Chen was very satisfied with Su Wanwan's answer.
The AI vibe seems a bit overpowering...
Of course, it's clear that Su Wanwan was just joking.
"The formation has been delivered and installed, so I'll take my leave now," the zombie deliveryman said goodbye.
Everyone saw him off, and Li Qian was the last to leave the basement.
She took one last look at her reflection in the mirror, blood streaming from her seven orifices. As she turned her head, something suddenly caught her eye out of the corner of her eye:
Her lifeless reflection in the mirror then raised her arm and waved it.
Li Qian immediately turned her head to look, and in the mirror, she was still standing there, looking eerie and motionless.
"Is it an illusion?"
She reached up and scratched her hair, then turned away, puzzled.
The zombie deliveryman left the villa and got into his delivery truck.
That was a hearse used for funerals.
Zombies driving hearses to deliver packages...that makes perfect sense.
However, the hearse itself comes with some special effects, but it appears normal to the average person.
Passersby wouldn't be frightened by suddenly seeing a zombie driving a hearse.
The hearse left the villa area, and the security guard at the gate did not notice anything amiss, so it was allowed to pass smoothly.
Everyone returned to the villa and began tidying up their respective rooms.
The assistant, who had been unconscious, quickly woke up and, finding nothing amiss, took his leave after helping Zhou Muchen set up the room.
She can live in Zhou Muchen's small apartment from now on.
After quickly settling into the room, Fan Chen looked around the villa again, feeling quite emotional.
He was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and only managed to go to school with great difficulty.
For a long time, his biggest wish was to one day own his own house.
It doesn't need to be big, just something that belongs to you.
Now this wish has been fulfilled in an unbelievable way.
"Back when I was sharing a bunk bed with other orphans, I never dreamed that one day I would own a villa worth over 20 million yuan," Fan Chen thought to himself with a sigh.
This villa cost more than 23 million.
The next night at 10 PM.
Four beds were placed in the middle of the basement, and a strange dressing mirror was placed in the corner, its surface reflecting all four beds.
The four changed into comfortable pajamas, lay down on their beds, and put on their gaming devices.
See you in the game, everyone.
Fan Chen greeted everyone and activated the Moon in the Mirror Formation using the Shattered Mirror Central Hub.
In the quiet basement, a ripple seemed to pass by.
The four people, along with their bed, vanished simultaneously and appeared in that eerie mirror.
