Zongman, you don't follow the rules at all, right?

After she finished speaking, Baoyue Yexiao's expression finally changed. When she looked up at Hui, she was surprised.

"Why do I know?"

Hui Shi smiled and said, imitating the tone of a certain lecherous person: "Don't underestimate my intelligence network."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Baoyue Yexiao said, "After returning to reality, Sister Huishi, can we meet?"

"no problem."

Hui Shi pinched Xiao Ye Xiao's face and smiled.

Breaking free from Hui Shi's rubbing attack, Bao Yue Ye Xiao said, "I thought about bringing in the graduates, but they are too uncontrollable, even the friendliest graduates are like this. To avoid any unexpected situations, I finally decided not to bring them in."

"I see. But as time goes by and you complete more missions, the ghosts you encounter will surely become stronger. Little Night Snack, you will inevitably face a situation where you must bring in graduates later."

Hui Shi said.

"I know, but... now is not the time to think about this."

Baoyue Night Snack nodded and said.

"Then you should..."

"Stop! Wait a minute, Huishi, what are you and this little girl talking about? I don't understand anything about graduates!"

Kiana interrupted the conversation between Huishi and Baoyue Yexiao at this time and said with a frown.

They both looked at Kiana. After a moment of silence, Hui Shi said, "We've gotten a little too deep into this conversation. Xiao Ye Xiao, this mission is over. We'll talk more in detail when we meet in real life."

"no problem."

Xiao Yexiao gave Huishi a thumbs up and nodded.

"Then let's get to the point. How should we proceed with this mission?"

"Obviously, the Ghost Paradise's mission requires us to find five necklace fragments and hand them over to the ghost who is willing to help us. I think, given the Ghost Paradise's nature, the journey to find these fragments will be full of dangers. It's even possible that some powerful evil spirits or fierce ghosts are guarding the place where the fragments are found."

Searching for fragments in the dark forest, not only is there no guidance, but you also have to face various attacks from ghosts and monsters on the way. After finally finding a place where the fragments may be, there is a high probability that you will face elite monsters or small BOSSes. In such an environment, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to complete this task.

If Hui Shi hadn't been there, many people would have died in this mission, and in the end, perhaps only Kiana and Baoyue Yexiao would have survived.

"Split up?"

Shinomiya Kaguya then said, "Miss Huitoki, you will be in one group, and the rest of us will be in another."

"Miss Huitoki will definitely be able to handle it alone. We also have Miss Kiana and Miss Yexiao as our combat strength. As for me and others, although they may not be able to fight, they can still help analyze the situation without being a drag."

After the words were spoken, everyone looked at each other.

"I have no problem. In fact, if Hui Shi isn't here, it would be a good opportunity for me to show off my skills!"

Kiana jumped up and pumped her fist, grinning.

"I can do that too. Although I really want to see Sister Haitoki's power again, this will definitely speed up the completion of the mission."

Baoyue Yexiao nodded.

The two embarrassed adults wanted to say that they should follow Hui Shi, but probably because they were not surrounded by office workers with the aura of reduced intelligence, they were able to figure out their own situation, so they opened their mouths and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that no one has any objections, then... I will come and offer some suggestions.

"Everyone, do we have to go look for the necklace fragments?"

Hui Shi suddenly said.

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Huh? Not looking for fragments?

How to complete the task without looking for fragments?

Hui Shi's expression turned serious. "Everyone, you know what? When I play horror games, the most annoying thing is looking for keys, fuses, and other debris. The destination is just a door or a wall away, but because of all this searching, it takes a long time to complete the level."

"Is the same principle also applicable to finding fragments now?"

Everyone was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Hui Shi ignored it and continued, "Let's clarify one thing first. Although the main quest doesn't explicitly state it, our ultimate goal in this quest is supposed to be escaping the forest. The ghost who's willing to help the living is the NPC who tells us how to escape the forest. After we find the five fragments, will the ghost send us out directly?"

"I don't think so. We might even need to find something else or take it somewhere. Anyway, we'll have to go through a series of actions before we can see an exit or a way out of this forest."

"Since we know there will be so much trouble later, why don't we just skip the troublesome process and go straight to the exit?"

As he was speaking, Huishi raised the torch he was using for lighting and said, "For example, if I burn down this forest, then..."

Before he could finish his words, Kiana rushed over and snatched the torch away, saying, "Huishi! I knew you were obsessed with setting fire to the mountain!"

"I'll just use an analogy."

"You'd better really use an analogy."

"Okay, I'm just describing a possibility, saying that we don't have to follow the mission requirements. Give me the torch first."

"No! Setting fires is not allowed anyway!"

"But setting fire is the fastest."

"Give up! I'll keep a close eye on you!"

"Kiana, listen to me..."

As Huishi and Kiana started arguing, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Could it be that she really intended to set fire?

No, is this the method a normal person would think of?

Chapter 87: Now that you are here.

After all the hassle, why not just carry out large-scale destruction when the dust is gone?

Anyway, with Huishi's current strength, he can destroy this forest with a slap or a kick.

No matter what kind of monster you are, what abilities you possess, or how strange the place you are in is, as long as the land is overturned, what waves can you make?

It's like a haunted mountain, and as many people as enter it will die. If we just use missiles to raze the mountain to the ground, can you still continue to cause trouble?

To be honest, when Hui Shi first entered the game and read the mission introduction, I did think so.

But in the end I gave up on doing that.

There are two reasons.

One is that Huishi is not the only one in this forest. Kiana, Kaguya Shinomiya and other players are also present. If Huishi makes too much noise, it will obviously involve them, and Huishi has no good way to prevent them from being affected.

Huishi thought about whether he should carry all the other players out first, and then come back to cause trouble.

But then I thought, since everyone has left, why would they return to this forest? This place doesn't look like a place with a lot of money.

Then, there is the second reason.

Replicate the operations of the previous mission, catch these ghosts, fleece the sheep, and make money.

Since we have given up the option of razing the forest, since we are here now, wouldn’t it be a huge loss if we don’t gain some benefits?

Later, Hui Shi did exactly that.

It’s just a pity that, just as Huishi felt, the ghosts in this forest are not as rich as the ghosts in the previous school mission.

Not only do the ghosts wandering in the forest not have a single penny on them, they can't even speak clearly.

They don't have any equipment on them, so you won't get anything if you kill them. However, some of the stronger ghosts can give you 1 to 5 points.

But will Hui Shi be satisfied with such a small number of points?

If you are satisfied, then the gray time is not the gray time!

Then, Huishi naturally set his sights on the elite monsters, small bosses, and even the final boss in this forest.

But I don’t know if this forest is really that large, or if it uses some kind of space folding technology. In short, its range is very, very wide, at least Huishi’s perception cannot reach the end.

In addition, there are too many ghosts moving around in this forest, which interfere with Huishi's attention and make it difficult for Huishi to find ghosts that are suspected to be elite monsters or BOSSes.

Perception was useless, so Huishi wanted to force the other party to come out on his own initiative. While he was thinking about what method to use, Huishi's eyes fell on the flames.

Naturally, the idea of arson slowly emerged.

Although it's natural to think that arson is wrong.

This is indeed the case. The others could not keep up with Huishi's train of thought, and Kiana even stopped Huishi tightly, not allowing her to get close to the torch.

Regardless of how Huishi explains it, Kiana is right in everything you say, but you are not allowed to get close to the torch!

After a struggle, Huishi sighed helplessly and gave up approaching the torch.

Then, Huishi turned to look at the others.

Everyone was gathered together discussing with each other, while Baoyue Yexiao took out a notebook and wrote something down.

When you look closer, you will see that Baoyue Yexiao's notebook is filled with all kinds of strange images, like an illustrated book. But if you look closely, you will find that those strange images are actually various ghosts.

Next to it is a detailed description of the appearance, abilities, and degree of danger of these ghosts.

For example, the ghost that Baoyue Yexiao is recording now is the "wooden man ghost" that was killed by Huishi not long ago.

Baoyue Yexiao learned from the two players who ran back that its ability is the game "123 Wooden Man". After encountering it, it would keep saying: "123, 123, who is the wooden man~"

After saying this, it suddenly raised its head.

When they looked up, the three of them were immediately scared, but after the office worker came to his senses, he walked towards the wooden ghost cursing. This action was brave, but unfortunately, he did not have Hui Shi's ability, and then because he violated the rules of the game, the wooden ghost chopped off his head.

In addition to this, there are also a few familiar ghosts that I have encountered before.

For example, the hide-and-seek ghost, the ghost following Kiana, etc.

After reading the contents of the notebook, Huishi blinked and said aloud: "A ghost version of the Pokémon Pokédex?"

"Pokémon Pokedex? What's that?"

Baoyue Yexiao stopped writing and looked at Hui Shi in confusion before saying, "It should be called a demon encyclopedia. This is my habit. I record all the ghosts and monsters I encounter in the Ghost Paradise."

"Wow~ Such a thick book, Miss Snack, you are really serious."

At this time, Kiana had already put the torch far away, and then came closer and said.

"Recording the information about these ghosts will be of great help to me, both in future missions in the Ghost Paradise and in reality."

Baoyue Yexiao nodded, then flipped a few pages forward in her notebook and pointed to a picture of a ghost. "Take this evil spirit, for example. Its ability is to kill people through a phone booth. It's an evil spirit I encountered in real life, but I also encountered one in the Ghost Paradise. Although its true form is different, its abilities are very similar."

"Thanks to my superior intelligence, I was able to resolve it easily, but it also led to many questions."

"Is this a ghost from the Weird Paradise replicating real life? Or did the ghost escape from the Weird Paradise? Or is it like a tribe? Does the concept of tribes exist among ghosts? There are many doubts, and it will take a lot of time to figure it out."

Baoyue said while having a midnight snack.

"Wait, Sister Yexiao, are you saying that ghosts and evil spirits also exist in reality?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted and asked.

"I'm also curious about this."

Shinomiya Kaguya also frowned slightly and asked.

Baoyue Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, there are all kinds of ghosts in reality, quite a few in fact. It's just that it's difficult for ordinary people to encounter them. It's possible that you won't encounter a ghost in your entire life. But once you encounter a ghost, it greatly increases the possibility of encountering it again."

"My dear brothers and sisters, you are already players of Ghost Paradise, so don't be too optimistic. After the mission is over and you return to reality, you will be able to see ghosts. At the same time, as I just said, the probability of encountering ghosts will be greatly increased."

Baoyue said while having a midnight snack.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces turned very ugly. Encountering ghosts here is not the end yet. Do they have to continue dealing with ghosts after returning to reality?

Then, as if to confirm something, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Huishi.

Hui Shi could naturally see Shinomiya Kaguya's doubts and nodded, saying, "Xiao Yexiao is right. Don't be too optimistic. There are many ghosts in the real world. Even if I don't take the initiative to deal with them, there will still be ghosts running around and causing trouble."

The last glimmer of hope was shattered by Hui Shi, and everyone's faces grew even more solemn. After a moment of silence, Shinomiya Kaguya spoke, "However, this does explain a lot. My father and my brother occasionally behave in ways that seem very superstitious to me. Father, in particular, often visits temples and donates large sums of money to them."

"Typical way of spending money to ward off disaster."

Huishi smiled and said.

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded and continued, "I used to think it was just a habit of the older generation, something akin to religious behavior, but now it seems Father is clearly paying professionals to handle paranormal phenomena that ordinary people can't handle—exorcism."
