Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

The bandages on the bandaged female ghost's body wriggled like tentacles, wrapping around the female ghost in the red dress.

The female ghost in the red dress grew sharp fingernails and repeatedly scratched at the bandaged female ghost.

The two female ghosts began to fight silently.

Fan Chen turned his head to the side, and could only see their fighting from the corner of his eye.

He was quite surprised; it seemed... the bandaged female ghost was protecting him?

Or is it that the bandaged female ghost has already regarded Fan Chen as her prey, and is therefore preventing other ghosts from getting close?

The thought flashed through Fan Chen's mind quickly. Without hesitation, he seized the opportunity and slashed at the red-skirted female ghost with his sword.

The female ghost in the red dress noticed Fan Chen's attack. She let out a silent roar, her body instantly becoming ethereal as she tried to escape.

It has the ability to teleport short distances.

But as soon as its figure disappeared, it reappeared in the same spot.

The bandages of the bandaged female ghost were wrapped around its body, preventing it from escaping.

Swish! The crescent-shaped crimson blade of the Tiger-Slaying Blade slashed across the red-skirted female ghost.

"Ah—" A piercing scream rang in Fan Chen's ears.

[Warning: You have killed the Earthbound Spirit (Level 6, Undead) in the subway station!]

[Psionic Power +300]

A notification appeared before my eyes, and in my peripheral vision, the figure of the female ghost in the red dress quickly vanished.

The scattered flesh and blood on the ground quickly decayed and turned to ashes.

"Earthbound spirit..." Fan Chen glanced at the prompt.

Are the red-dressed ghost and the bandaged ghost, these hidden ghosts, all earthbound spirits?

These ghosts can only move in fixed places and cannot leave; they usually possess different eerie abilities.

However, judging from the rules that were triggered earlier, it seems that they can attack the player, take their place, and then escape from the subway station.

Fan Chen glanced at the bandaged female ghost out of the corner of his eye.

The bandaged female ghost retreated several meters away, maintaining her strange posture, and even seemed to nod slightly at Fan Chen.

Its intervention seemed solely to protect Fan Chen.

Even without its help, Fan Chen was confident he could deal with the red-skirted female ghost.

"Why are you helping me?" Fan Chen tried to ask.

The bandaged female ghost remained in a contorted position, offering no response.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Why did you mean me no harm?

"Can't you communicate with me?"

The bandaged ghost did not respond to any of the questions asked.

Fan Chen was increasingly puzzled, but he did not relax his vigilance.

Then, he noticed something, and his gaze sharpened.

After the red-skirted female ghost was killed, the remaining flesh and blood of the masked female player that it had possessed turned to ashes.

But one thing remained in this pile of ashes.

It was a messy clump of hair.

Fan Chen walked over out of curiosity and used his tiger-slaying knife to lift the hair, discovering that the hair was still connected to the dry scalp, just like a wig.

"Strange items?"

In this eerie world, players or ghosts have a chance to leave behind strange items with special effects after they die.

The tiger-slaying knife in Fan Chen's hand can be said to be a remnant of Li Hu's death.

This ghost in the red dress left behind this wig.

Fan Chen tried to reach out and touch the messy wig.

[Warning: This is a cursed wig!]

Spirit Level: 8

Effect: When you wear it, you will be able to hide your figure and can only be seen by other people or ghosts in the corner of your eye.

However, the stealth effect automatically fails when you attack or are attacked.

At the same time, wearing it will continuously subject you to the influence of resentment, lowering your spirit and vitality, and causing irreparable damage to your body.

When your health reaches zero, you will also turn into a puddle of mud.

[Reminder: Now that you own it, you can name it!]

"A wig that can hide your figure when worn?"

"Eight more Spirit-level points, that's great!"

Fan Chen was overjoyed; the wig clearly incorporated some of the characteristics of the red-dressed female ghost.

The side effects seem terrible; wearing it can not only reduce mental and physical well-being, but also leave irreparable scars.

But none of this mattered to Fan Chen; he got the new type of power bank!

Of course, it also has side effects for Fan Chen.

Fan Chen examined the wig, thinking that wearing this thing seemed a bit awkward and even slightly perverted.

But what more could you want?

If the eerie item left behind by the woman in the red dress after her death is that red dress... then that would be truly perverted!

Next, name the items.

"Perspective wig!"

Since once it's on, it can only be seen out of the corner of one's eye, this name is perfect.

[Reminder: Naming successful!]

Inside the live stream room.

"He killed the female ghost who was clinging to him so easily!"

"My brother Chen is awesome, he didn't take the female ghost seriously at all."

"Is the hair in his hand a strange item left behind by the female ghost? I wonder what its purpose is."

"I went through five dungeons, barely escaping with my life, to get that one bizarre item, while Brother Chen got one so easily!"

Viewers realized that Fan Chen had obtained a strange item and flooded the screen with envious comments.

Inside the subway station, Fan Chen fiddled with a wig in his hand as he left the control room.

The other players were scattered throughout the subway station, all somewhat afraid of the control room.

They dared not approach, not even to look at her for long, for fear of being haunted by the female ghost in the red dress.

Fan Chen shook his head secretly: After he opened the door to the station control room, he did not stop others from going in to investigate clues.

They were given the chance but they were useless; they didn't even know how to look for clues.

Of course, Fan Chen understood them.

Most ordinary players enter a dungeon with the primary goal of surviving and achieving a normal completion.

They didn't have much desire to explore the hidden clues and quests within the instance.

Seeing Fan Chen leave the control room carrying the wig, the players all looked on with surprise.

Is this what the ghost in the red dress left behind?

It was resolved in such a short time?

I also obtained a strange item...

Fan Chen looked at Wen Ya, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind:

Although this fortune teller's several readings were somewhat outrageous and seemed to deviate greatly from the truth.

But what if her divination was actually correct?

Fan Chen turned his head slightly, glancing at the bandaged female ghost standing in the corner.

He had a vague idea.

At this point, the instance had been open for over an hour and forty minutes.

With less than ten minutes remaining before the subway arrives at the station and the second Red Moon moment begins, the event is about to start.

Searching for clues in the control room took quite a while.

Fan Chen has received a hidden mission that requires him to explore the tunnel, but there probably isn't enough time now.

When the red moon ends, the subway will go directly into the tunnel on the left. If you stay inside, you will probably be run over by the subway.

He was preparing to spend another Red Moon period.

This is a good opportunity to gain even more experience.

According to Fan Chen's estimate, another wave should be enough to upgrade it.

So Fan Chen walked back to the center of the platform, put the Yu Guang wig into his inventory, and sat down on a bench.

Waiting for the subway to arrive, a horde of ghosts burst out of the gates.

This made other anxious players wonder, "Are we really playing the same game?"

Actress Li Yue, on the other hand, remained calm.

He was also sitting on a bench on the platform, looking focused, as if he was thinking about something.

Or rather, they are immersed in a certain "emotion".

He is trying to get himself "in character".

"That's it, that's right... it should work... I've grasped the characteristics of the ghost passenger..."

Li Yue muttered to herself, a hint of red appearing in her eyes behind her sunglasses.

During the red moon moment just now, he killed several ghost passengers.

For the actor, each time a ghost is killed, they can absorb some of that ghost's traits.

These qualities are like the "script" of a real-world movie or TV show.

Actors learn about ghosts by reading scripts, understanding their behavior and resentment, and then immersing themselves in the role, transforming themselves into the ghosts.

He can now impersonate a ghost passenger.

"The ghost passenger is stronger than the remnant ghost I originally played."

"I can take down even more ghosts now!"

Li Yue was secretly delighted.

Only one minute remains until the red moon descends.

Fan Chen suddenly saw the fortune teller Wen Ya approach him again with some hesitation.

"Are you still planning to stay by my side?" Fan Chen asked, somewhat amused.

"It's dangerous around you, but I can handle it."

Wenya said sullenly, "My divination tells me that following you and gaining your trust will bring me more benefits."

Although the results of the previous divinations were somewhat outrageous.

She still chose to believe in her abilities, though she was less confident in them.

"Maybe……"

Fan Chen seemed thoughtful: "Your divination was correct."

"What?" Wen Ya's face immediately lit up with surprise.

She wanted to ask Fan Chen more questions, but the subway station lights suddenly turned into red warning lights.

A cold, impersonal announcement rang out along with the rumble of the train entering the station.

The Red Moon has begun!
