A bizarre and terrifying experience; I messed up the dungeon world.

"Ghostly artifacts? And that pair of scissors from earlier... Where did you get all this stuff?!"

The bandaged man's voice changed, and he looked at Zhou Lang with undisguised terror!

"Skill triggered. Bandage Fright value 47. Obtain one Jack's Murder Lamp!"

Hearing the skill announcements, Zhou Lang's smile deepened as he repeatedly brandished the chainsaw at the bandaged man.

"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? I'm a peace-loving person, and you're putting me in a very difficult position..."

The bandage on his face twitched, and as the bandaged man looked at Zhou Lang's expression, the black aura around him grew even denser.

"Humans! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a ghost artifact!"

"Or what? You want to bite me?"

Zhou Lang was fearless, clearly because the chainsaw posed a great threat to the bandaged man; otherwise, he would have already become one of the severed limbs in the room.

The bandaged man's body began to tremble, and the blood seeping out stained the sheets and dripped onto the ground. Black energy surged, clearly brewing something terrifying!

"Look at that amount of blood! Even a pregnant woman in a difficult labor wouldn't have lost as much blood as you!"

Zhou Lang certainly wouldn't give the bandaged man a chance to prepare his ultimate move. He raised his chainsaw and sawed the bandaged man in half!

The sound of a saw cutting into flesh rang out, and the bandages on his body kept tearing apart. Then, a piercing scream echoed throughout the room. Zhou Lang frowned, feeling a ringing in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything anymore.

"Keep it down! It'll be bad if you disturb the neighbors!"

With another burst of force, the chainsaw severed the bandaged man's waist, continuing until it cut the bed board in two as well.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Zhou Lang looked at the bandaged man lying on the bed, barely alive. Before he could take any further action, a notification sounded in his mind again.

"Skill triggered! Bandage Fright value 99, gained 200 points of Eerie!"

"The bandages are weakened. Should we fuse them?"

"Integration?"

Zhou Lang was taken aback, and as if to answer his question, his voice rang out again.

"One can form a contract with ghosts and monsters, fusing any part of their body; the one who initiates the fusion has absolute control!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lang immediately laughed: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's fuse them quickly!"

"Given player Zhou Lang's (浪里个浪's) physical condition, there's a 99% chance he'll die instantly during the fusion process, and only a 0.01% chance of a successful fusion..."

"grass!"

Zhou Lang's face darkened. He wanted to complain but didn't know where to start. Looking at the bandaged man, who was so weak that his bandages had become limp, he raised the chainsaw again.

"What the hell would I need this ghost for?!"

"etc!"

Upon seeing Zhou Lang's actions, the bandaged man, who had been feigning death, could no longer hold back. A bandage that had turned black rose up and hovered in front of Zhou Lang, but it had become utterly insignificant compared to before.

"Human! Don't kill me! If you kill me, you'll never escape this game!"

"You dare threaten me? Don't think I don't know I can replace you and become one of the masters here!"

"This is not a threat! It's a fact!"

The bandaged man was about to break down: "Have you thought about this after you replaced me? Are you just going to stay in the game forever? Waiting for the next person to come and saw you off?"

Seeing Zhou Lang pause, this question was indeed very important. Killing the butler hadn't mentioned whether he could exit the game after replacing the room owner!

The bandaged man quickly explained, "These are the rules of the game. Since you accepted the job, you can't kill the person you're supposed to be working with! Otherwise, you'll be trapped in the game forever until a replacement appears!"

"But what if a replacement appears? If you try to leave, you'll be killed. Is that what you want?"

Zhou Lang frowned upon hearing this. The era of terror had only been around for a little over a month, and had only just begun to spread to their area. They didn't really understand the rules of the game, so he couldn't confirm whether what the bandaged man said was true or false.

"Skill triggered. The bandage's fright level is 60. Gained Fusion Physique!"

Zhou Lang's eyes lit up instantly! The bandaged man, however, seemed to have regained his confidence: "So you can't kill me! I promise you, I'll give you a good review every time I kill the butler!"

"No need."

Zhou Lang gave a strange smile, looked at the dazed, bandaged man, and sat down next to him, staring directly into his eyes: "Why don't you just merge with me?"

"What? That's impossible!"

The bandaged man was taken aback at first, then immediately flew into a rage: "You lowly human, you are insulting me!"

"oh."

Zhou Lang picked up the chainsaw again.

"...Insulting me isn't entirely unacceptable; after all, my dignity vanished long ago in my childhood. To be honest, seeing you is like seeing my childhood again..."

The bandaged man slumped, his voice filled with humiliation, but Zhou Lang ignored him, his mind racing with the question: "How do I integrate the bandages?"

"Draw the contract, and both parties simply need to touch it!"

A complex pattern appeared in his mind, and following the strokes, Zhou Lang quickly drew the contract. The bandaged man was even more desperate upon seeing this.

The contract was drawn up so smoothly; it's clear that the ancestors had been planning this for a long time!

Without any further mishaps, Zhou Lang and the aggrieved bandage touched the contract together, and the sound of "fusion successful" immediately rang in his ears. He looked down again, and his outstretched right hand was now wrapped in bandages, still covered with bloodstains that had not yet dried.

"That's it? Bandages?"

Zhou Lang instinctively opened his mouth, but in his mind, he heard the bandaged man's voice: "What?!"

The bandaged man's resentful voice echoed in Zhou Lang's mind, and Zhou Lang was immediately overjoyed. With a thought, the bandaged man reappeared on the bed, looking at Zhou Lang with a bewildered expression.

"Are you crazy?!"

"I still have work to do. It'll be difficult if you disappear. You'll have to bear with it for ten days. Come back in before it's all over."

The bandaged man moved slightly but didn't say anything. He was severely injured by Zhou Lang's saw and had become withdrawn...

Zhou Lang tried asking the bandaged man some questions, and although the latter was reluctant, he still gave answers. As the time approached seven o'clock, Zhou Lang walked out of the room, waving goodbye to the bandaged man before leaving.

"Please remember to leave a good review, dear!"

Bandage: "Get lost!"

Back in the lobby on the first floor, everyone had gathered except for the dead little grass. However, no one looked too happy, clearly indicating that the host had been quite difficult to serve.

Seeing Zhou Lang walk down, Zhao Qiang instinctively wanted to rush over, but after glancing at the butler standing opposite him, he ultimately held back.

Standing with a group of people, Butler Sha glanced at Zhou Lang, then paused with his cane before slowly speaking to the crowd.

"Congratulations on finishing your day's work. I'm sure you've all felt refreshed and rejuvenated."

No one responded; everyone except Zhou Lang was pale-faced, clearly indicating that they had not had a pleasant experience that day.

Zhou Lang, on the other hand, watched the butler with great interest.

If you scare the security guard, you get scissors; if you use bandages, you get a chainsaw. So what would you get if you scare the butler?

Zhou Lang couldn't wait any longer...
