Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

The elevator was stuck between the fourth and fifth floors, in a small, dark space.

The man with the middle parting looked flustered, leaning against the elevator wall, a simple, antique candlestick appearing in his hand.

Above are candles covered in wax dripping from their wax.

The pale blue candlelight burned, casting a soft glow that enveloped him.

This is clearly a strange item he possesses; the candlelight not only provides illumination but also offers a degree of protection.

"We've been attacked by that elevator ghost! We're doomed, we're doomed..." he muttered fearfully to himself.

According to information gathered on the forum, the elevator ghost is one of the most eerie and terrifying ghosts in the dungeon.

There's a chance you'll encounter one while riding an elevator; it's a spirit trapped inside.

It's in a crazy state; it might attack the player, or it might do nothing at all.

As an elevator spirit, it is extremely difficult for players to resist if they are attacked by it inside an elevator.

"I shouldn't have come in when I saw Fan Chen in the elevator."

The man with the middle parting muttered to himself, "No, I should have found a way to avoid this instance when I knew the Mortal Realm Guild would be entering it..."

Fan Chen gave him a speechless look. Dude, you've gone too far.

Although I really want to encounter this elevator ghost as soon as possible, you can't blame me for all the trouble I caused.

Fan Chen then looked around.

As the elevator came to a stop, the once clean and tidy interior had changed.

The elevator walls were wrinkled, deformed, and badly damaged, as if they had fallen from a great height.

Drip, drip, the sound of water droplets hitting the ground suddenly rang out.

Those weren't water droplets, but drops of blood.

Fan Chen looked up and saw blood dripping from the top of the elevator.

At first, there were small drops of blood, which quickly turned into a stream of blood.

The falling blood quickly coagulated and wriggled into a bloody body.

Its body was mangled and twisted, missing an arm.

His face was a bloody mess, and one of his eyeballs was hanging out of its socket.

Its twisted body moved around inside the elevator, its head drooping as it searched for something.

His hoarse voice kept repeating, "Where is it? Where is it..."

It has not yet shown any malice towards players.

Even seasoned gamers who have played countless games can't help but feel nauseous and their scalps tingle when they suddenly see its horrifying appearance.

Fan Chen's mental attribute decreased by 10 points.

The mental attribute represents the player's mental state; being suddenly frightened will naturally lower their rationality.

However, Fan Chen's attribute values ​​quickly recovered.

While inside the elevator, players will be constantly affected by the eerie influence of the elevator's ghosts.

The effects that Fan Chen suffered were transformed into a reverse benefit by the Soul Eater.

[Review]

Fan Chen used his newly acquired skill on the ghost in the elevator.

[Note: This is a ghost (level 20, undead) that was trapped inside an elevator and died from a fall.]

It is searching for its missing right arm.

"The ability to examine not only reveals its spirit level category, but also allows one to perceive its current expectations!"

Fan Chen's eyes lit up.

According to Jian Xinyun's intelligence, the elevator ghost is a crucial element in getting to the thirteenth floor.

What it was looking for was its missing arm.

If the player ignores it for too long, it may try to snatch the player's arm.

Only players with censorship or other investigative skills can find out what it really wants.

This will trigger a hidden quest associated with it.

Next, Fan Chen's task is to help it find its lost right arm.

The man with his middle-parted hair, gripping the candlestick tightly, trembled uncontrollably, his eyes fixed on the ghost in the elevator.

"As long as players don't have much of anything and don't actively attack or disturb it, there's a very high probability that they won't provoke its malice."

"It will disappear on its own if you safely get through five minutes..."

He told himself that this came from the forum information he had purchased.

The terrifying elevator ghost indeed paid no attention to him and Fan Chen, who were also inside the elevator.

Until... Fan Chen took out the Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade, which was wrapped in blood-red evil energy.

The elevator ghost's head drooped, its face a bloody mess, and it immediately moved over.

"Fan Chen, what are you doing?" the man with the middle parting shouted in a low voice.

He sensed the malice emanating from the ghost in the elevator, which began to intensify exponentially.

It has been provoked and is about to launch an attack!

Fan Chen ignored him and directly swung his Tiger-Slaying Saber.

However, instead of attacking the elevator ghost, he directly slashed a hole in the twisted and deformed top of the elevator.

With a leap, it climbed up and poked its head out.

Is this an attempt to escape?

The man with the middle parting had a bright look in his eyes, but then he saw Fan Chen jump down again, this time carrying something in his hand.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

It was a broken arm.

That reporter once suffered an elevator accident and was killed inside the elevator, becoming the elevator ghost before our eyes.

Its body was smashed to pieces, and a piece of its arm was flung out of the elevator, landing outside the elevator through a gap in the ceiling.

"Thank you..." A smile seemed to appear on the bloodied and mangled face of the elevator ghost.

It took the arm that Fan Chen handed over and quickly attached it to itself.

"Who am I? Why am I here?"

"There's one more thing I need to do, and it's very important... What is it?"

Then it continued muttering to itself.

A狰狞恐怖 (zhengning kongbu - ferocious and terrifying) face, with eyes dangling outwards, stared at Fan Chen.

"Can you help me?"

"it is good."

[Reminder: You have triggered a hidden quest: the identity of the elevator ghost.]

It died tragically inside the elevator and became a bound spirit here, unable to leave.

But it vaguely remembered that some mission awaited it.

Please help it reclaim its identity.

Fan Chen triggered a hidden mission: to find the identity of the elevator ghost.

The information that appeared in the Fengdu Daily indicated that the ghost in the elevator was a reporter, and that his press card needed to be found so that he could remember his identity.

Jian Xinyun's information further detailed that Fan Chen knew the press pass was located in the underground parking lot on B1.

Furthermore, players cannot go directly underground.

Only security guards who complete their work tasks and receive an excellent employee rating are qualified to go to the basement level.

This is also why Fan Chen chose to become a security guard.

After helping the reporter regain their identity, you need to trigger another task here to gain access to the thirteenth floor.

Fortunately, we received the information and strategy guide in advance; otherwise, finding out the identity of the elevator ghost would not have been an easy task.

After Fan Chen triggered the mission, the ghost in the elevator dissipated on its own.

The elevator shook slightly, the lights came back on, and the wrinkled and deformed elevator walls returned to normal.

Ding! The elevator continued its descent and stopped on the fourth floor.

Fan Chen put away the Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade and saw that his hands were still stained with blood, which was left when he had severed the arm earlier.

So he took out the shroud and wiped his palms.

In the previous instance, the shroud absorbed the blood from the blood coffin of the Bai family patriarch.

Although the item information remained unchanged, it appeared in a light red color.

Later, after experimenting, Fan Chen discovered that its eerie effects had been greatly enhanced.

Items enveloped by it can increase their spirit level more quickly.

After wiping the blood off his hands, Fan Chen took out the Breaking Illusion Oil Lamp and left the elevator.

Footsteps sounded behind him, and the man with the middle parting followed out trembling.

"Aren't you going to the law firm on the second floor?" Fan Chen asked curiously.

"I'd like to take the stairs directly," the man with the middle parting said somewhat awkwardly.

Although he wasn't seriously injured by the elevator ghost he just encountered, it still left a deep impression on him.

He didn't want to face that monstrous thing alone.

—The elevator ghost isn't easy to encounter, and since I've triggered the corresponding quest, other players shouldn't encounter it again.

The thought flashed through Fan Chen's mind, but he didn't say anything more.

He nodded to the man with the middle parting and then ignored him, carrying the oil lamp into the dark corridor.

He had to go do his work.

Holding the candlestick, the man with the middle parting took a deep breath and, using the candlelight for illumination, walked into the stairwell.

Tap, tap, his footsteps echoed in the dark stairwell.

As he reached the corner on the third floor, his mind suddenly tensed up.

He heard another set of footsteps.

It was the ghostly figure in the hanging boots... The man with the middle parting tensed up, trying to calm himself down.

According to the intelligence, as long as he doesn't turn around rashly, he'll be fine!

He was about to continue downhill when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The second set of footsteps did not come from behind, but from in front.

Inside the dark and gloomy stairwell, lights were still flickering.

Soon, a female player dressed in a security guard uniform appeared in the middle-parted haircut's field of vision.

She held a flashlight in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other.

It was that female butcher who chose the job of security guard!

"So they were other players, doing a security mission?"

The man with the middle parting recognized the player as someone who had entered the instance with him, and his tense mood relaxed a little.

His face twitched into a smile; he'd really scared himself...

The female butcher has finished her gatekeeper duties and is now doing her building patrol duties.

Upon seeing the middle-parted hairstyle, she nodded slightly, said nothing, and continued walking uphill.

He turned his body to the side and passed by her.

But just as the man with the middle parting turned his head, preparing to continue walking down...

Whoosh! A wave of malice surged from behind, a blade flashed, and instantly slashed at his neck.

The head with the middle parting was thrown out, and the last thing the person saw before losing consciousness was the image of the female butcher's knife striking down.

With one hand, she was putting a hideous mask on her face...
