Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

In a strange world, never turn around to look if you hear footsteps behind you or someone calling your name.

This is common sense.

Even without prior intelligence, most high-level players are wary.

Fan Chen was certainly aware of this, and the Fengdu Daily also presented the corresponding intelligence.

But he just wanted to see what kind of ghost was following behind him.

With the presence of a spirit eater, he has a high degree of leeway when facing such bizarre and ghostly creatures.

The moment Fan Chen turned around, he felt a chill on his face, and something instantly covered his face.

That appeared to be a mask.

[Warning: You have been attacked by a nightmare!]

...]

This mask possesses the power of nightmares. Fan Chen could sense a frenzied consciousness trying to flood into his mental world and take over his body.

But soon, with a crisp snap, the mask shattered and fell off his face.

[Reminder: You have killed the Hanging Boots Ghost (Level 21, Undead)]

[Psionic Power +1050]

The ghostly figure following behind, condensing a mask and attempting to possess Fan Chen, is called the Hanging Boots Ghost Shadow.

It is not particularly aggressive, but it has a strange mechanism that allows it to instantly possess a player.

Once possessed by the Ghostly Boots, it will continue to impersonate that player and interact normally with other players, but it will betray other players at crucial moments.

In a previous instance of the Tiantong Building instance, four players teamed up to complete the security guard patrol mission.

They completed their mission successfully and assumed everything was normal.

Just as they were about to continue the mission, one of the players suddenly attacked, instantly killing two players, leaving only one to barely escape.

That player was unknowingly possessed and controlled by the ghostly figure in the dangling boots.

According to the intelligence gathered by Fan Chen, the Ghostly Boots was an almost insurmountable threat, and no one had discovered a way to kill it.

But now Fan Chen has discovered it.

After it launches a possession attack and is unable to possess a player for a certain period of time, it will disintegrate and die.

However, this kind of kill is something that no one but Fan Chen could replicate.

Feeling the fragments of the mask falling off his face, Fan Chen looked somewhat disappointed.

"this one?"

He thought it was some kind of terrifying ghost, but before he could even make a move, he was killed by the Soul Eater.

"The ghostly figure in the hanging boots refers to the ghostly figure following behind..."

"Hanging Boot Ghost" is a general term for a type of ghost, referring to ghosts that follow players around and cause trouble.

The Hanging Boot Ghost is clearly a type of Hanging Boot Ghost, but it is even more bizarre and has no physical form.

"The way it possesses players is by forming a mask on their faces, which is clearly related to the masked ghost in the Tiantong Building."

Fan Chen quickly analyzed the situation in his mind and then continued carrying the oil lamp upstairs.

Because he was attacked and killed by the ghostly figure in the hanging boots, Fan Chen also discovered the corresponding rule: if you hear footsteps behind you on the stairs, do not turn around.

Tap tap, tap tap, after Fan Chen climbed two more floors in the stairwell, footsteps sounded behind him again.

This time, Fan Chen did not turn back rashly and continued forward.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to him.

[Warning: You are being affected by a nightmare!]

Health +1

Spirit +4

...]

Even if players don't turn around, they will still be affected by the strange footsteps they hear.

Without sufficient resistance to strange phenomena, the player's mental attributes will be affected, and their will will be controlled.

Then, without thinking, he turned his head and was "mechanically" possessed by the ghostly figure in the hanging boots.

For other players doing this task, the key is to stay rational and tough it out.

After following the player for a while, the ghostly figure in the dangling boots will disappear automatically once it realizes it can no longer affect the player.

The second ghostly figure in the hanging boots, after following Fan Chen for a while and realizing it couldn't affect him, began to move its footsteps further away.

It was ready to give up.

"Don't go!" Fan Chen immediately turned around.

He had already taken out the Demon Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade and instantly activated the Demon Eye skill, casting a red light.

They wanted to freeze the ghost's body.

Even so, he still couldn't see the full appearance of the ghostly figure in the hanging boots.

The moment he turned around, he felt a chill on his face as a strange mask appeared on his face.

This mechanism of possessing someone the moment you turn around is simply invincible.

Soon, the eerie mask shattered, and Fan Chen killed the Ghostly Boots.

"I'm getting more and more curious about what this ghostly figure in the hanging boots looks like," Fan Chen thought to himself.

He continued climbing the stairs.

Security guards' patrol duties involve more than just climbing stairs; once they reach a floor, they also patrol the corridors on each floor.

The layout of each floor of this building is in the shape of the Chinese character "回" (hui).

Leaving the stairwell and walking along the corridor, you can return to the stairwell after making a round trip.

The companies on each floor are all in operation.

You'll encounter many ghostly employees walking back and forth in the corridor, but the corridor is dark and eerily quiet.

The ghostly employees encountered all had gloomy faces and exerted a strange influence on the player.

As Fan Chen began his inspection of the seventh floor.

"Brother Chen, what brings you here? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhou Muchen's voice suddenly rang out behind Fan Chen.

Along with the sound came the sound of footsteps approaching.

Fan Chen's expression shifted slightly. This was yet another ghostly figure in a hanging boot, mimicking Zhou Muchen's voice to attract Fan Chen's attention and make him turn around.

Zhou Muchen does work at the media company on the seventh floor, but Fan Chen has been communicating with his colleagues and knows that he is still completing a camera shooting assignment.

It can speak and call out names, making it clearly more powerful than the Ghost in the Hanging Boots, which simply makes footsteps.

Fan Chen remained calm and continued walking forward with the oil lamp.

The footsteps behind him quickened.

"Brother Chen, wait for me, I have something I want to tell you..."

The ghostly figure mimicked Zhou Muchen's voice, echoing continuously behind him.

Fan Chen quickly reached the corner of the corridor, and the moment he turned the corner, his figure suddenly vanished into thin air.

The light of the lamp that dispels illusions also went out instantly.

"Brother Chen...Brother Chen?"

The shouts carried a hint of doubt.

At this moment, Fan Chen was wearing a wig, and his figure was completely hidden in the darkness.

This is the peripheral vision wig. Fan Chen put on the wig the moment he turned the corner, hiding himself in the peripheral vision.

The Perspective Wig is only level 10, and its concealment effect is not enough for ghosts above level 20.

The ghostly figure in the hanging boots following behind Fan Chen only hesitated for a moment before discovering Fan Chen's location.

But that's enough time.

Fan Chen, who was hiding in the corner of his eye, also clearly saw the appearance of the ghostly figure in the hanging boots.

It was a black, humanoid shadow with a white mask covering its head and face.

Its design is strikingly similar to No-Face from Spirited Away.

"Is this the true appearance of the Ghostly Boots?" Fan Chen asked curiously.

The empty eyes of the ghost mask looked at Fan Chen.

Its shadow-like body writhed violently, on the verge of disappearing.

Want to go?

Fan Chen struck with lightning speed, slashing at the ghostly figure in the hanging boots.

Psychic +1250

This blood-draining ghost had more experience, but it also lacked any defensive or combat capabilities and was easily killed by Fan Chen.

As it was killed, the white mask on its face did not shatter but fell to the ground.

"Huh, there's something else that fell?" Fan Chen picked up the mask.

[Warning: This is a strange mask (the Hanging Boots Mask)]

Spirit Level: 21

Description: Drip the target's blood onto it, and it will transform into the target's appearance. Wearing it will perfectly mimic the target's image and aura.

However, the wearer may also lose themselves and believe that they really are the target.

Note: It can only be used once.

"This is a bizarre object that can disguise itself, not only mimicking the target's appearance but also their aura?"

Fan Chen was pleasantly surprised. Although it was a disposable item, its effect intrigued him.

There are many things that can imitate appearances, but it is very rare to be able to imitate even a breath.

This means that even some of the bound items for players who disguise themselves can be used.

"Does the 'Hanging Boot Ghost' drop this item because it inherently possesses the properties of mimicry and possession?"

Fan Chen smiled and put the mask away.

Now that we've found a way to kill the Ghostly Boots, let's farm a few more masks.
