Hei Chunhua didn’t hear her reply, so he asked again, “Bai Qiuye?”
Bai Qiuye: “What …”
Hei Chunhua asked; “You’re in the electric room?”
Bai Qiuye looked at the increasingly turbulent water tank, “How did you know …”
She took two steps out, and just as she stepped out of the electric room, she saw the headless ghost not far away turn around and turn its head back.
Hei Chunhua’s voice was noisy, “What’s the situation now?”
What else could it be?
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind.
Bai Qiuye: “They’re going to surround me.”
Hei Chunhua: “I —? #? #%… ”
Bai Qiuye couldn’t hear what he said after that.
She said hello a few times, but there wasn’t any noise on the other end of the walkie-talkie, only a heart-stopping silence.
Bai Qiuye could only turn off the walkie-talkie, thinking about whether she should run or counterattack.
In the animal world, if the prey only knew how to run, most of them would be exhausted, and when they stopped running, they would be hunted down by the hunter.
But if she didn’t know the opponent’s trump card, she would have to take a bigger risk.
In a short time, Bai Qiuye thought about it and decided to choose the safest method.
She said to 09, “I want to activate the newbie protection mechanism.”
09’s voice came.
[Detected player Bai Qiuye’s emotional fluctuations, the condition to activate the newbie protection mechanism has been met.]
[When the player receives an attack ≥ 10 of the player’s current level, the newbie protection mechanism can be activated.]
Bai Qiuye felt refreshed and revived.
Now there were two ghosts, and if either of them hit her, the newbie protection mechanism would be activated.
After activating it, she would have a total of two minutes of invincibility, and it wouldn’t take much effort for her to climb up to the sixth floor.
Thinking of this, her panicked mood suddenly calmed down, and she stood calmly at the door of the power room, waiting for the two ghosts to come.
The water tank in the electric room shook more and more violently, and the water inside almost filled the entire room.
A wet hand stretched out along the edge of the box, the fingers pale and slender. It looked like a woman’s hand.
In the corridor, the headless ghost had already discovered Bai Qiuye’s hiding place.
It staggered over, and with every step it took, the shroud on its body would rub against each other.
Bai Qiuye was both nervous and expectant. Her palms were sweaty.
Half of the female ghost’s body had crawled out from the water tank. Her hands were on the ground, and her body appeared to be upside down.
The water that splashed on the ground reflected every object in the room, but it did not reflect the female ghost.
It stretched its neck and stared straight at Bai Qiuye. Its hair swept across the wet ground, making a rustling sound.
Bai Qiuye deduced the behavior of these two ghosts in her mind.
The headless ghost stumbled as he walked. For some reason, his head and fingers had been cut off and sealed inside the Guanyin statue in Room 303.
As for the female ghost in the electric room, she was in the place with the heaviest Yin energy in the entire apartment. She was still suspended in the air using the method of corpse refining. Moreover, the container was not a regular coffin, but a water tank.
Bai Qiuye instantly came to a conclusion.
The headless ghost had obviously been weakened, but the female ghost in the water tank was scary no matter how one looked at it.
The newbie protection mechanism can counter the first attack. Looks like this attack will be more effective for the female ghost in the water tank.
With the newbie protection mechanism as her trump card, Bai Qiuye’s fear was swept away.
What she was afraid of was not the appearance of these ghosts.
She was afraid of death.
Now that she did not have to worry about death, she was suddenly excited.
To ensure that the headless ghost would not take the lead, Bai Qiuye voluntarily took a step toward the female ghost in the water tank.
The female ghost in the water tank had been crawling with vigour. When Bai Qiuye suddenly moved forward, it was flustered.
It thought that Bai Qiuye would retreat, scream, and cry out in fear.
Then, it would suddenly teleport to Bai Qiuye’s side and complete a series of scares.
However, Bai Qiuye took a step forward.
Its plan was interrupted.
When Bai Qiuye saw that the female ghost in the water tank had stopped and the headless female corpse outside the door was approaching, she was anxious.
Hurry up!
The headless female corpse is about to take the first blood!
She had thought so highly of the female ghost in the water tank, but why was she hesitating?
Did she still have the ability to move?
Bai Qiuye was anxious, but she could not proactively extend her head to let the female ghost in the water tank take a bite.
She could only take another step toward the female ghost in the water tank, signalling it to move faster.
The female ghost in the water tank was speechless.
So weird.
The human and the ghost were in a silent standoff. In the corridor outside the door, the footsteps of the headless female corpse were getting closer.
Bai Qiuye looked at it with disappointment. Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind.
Could it be that she was too proactive, and this ghost liked the kind that resisted?
Bai Qiuye turned around and leaned against the wall. “Don’t kill me!”
Compared to before, her current performance was somewhat fake, and her acting was exaggerated.
However, the female ghost in the water tank thought that Bai Qiuye had regained her fear and finally found her rhythm.
‘She is afraid of me.’
‘She asked me not to kill her.’
‘I won so thoroughly.’
The female ghost in the water tank charged at Bai Qiuye. Her hair had just curled around Bai Qiuye when it was pushed away by a force.
The hair that curled around Bai Qiuye’s body fell to the ground. Sparks flew from the ends of the hair, and they were soon burned to ash.
On the other hand, the female ghost in the water tank felt her body being bound by an invisible force.
The force was still shrinking. The sound of bones snapping echoed in the room. Finally, the woman’s body turned into a ball.
Bai Qiuye’s heart was shaking. The newbie protection mechanism would have reflected the first attack.
If not for the newbie protection mechanism, she would have been the one turned into a ball.
After all, the female ghost in the water tank was not a living person, so she was only temporarily slowed down by the attack.
She looked at Bai Qiuye with venomous eyes.
If she could move again, she would not allow Bai Qiuye to escape a second attack.
Suddenly, she saw Bai Qiuye reach behind her back. After searching for a long time, she pulled out a cleaver.
There was still some tape on the handle. It appeared that Bai Qiuye had stuck it on her jacket earlier.
She bent down, and the round-headed person that was blocked by the jacket earlier poked out. It swayed before the female ghost in the water tank.
Bai Qiuye patted the cleaver in her hand. “Do you think I’ve wasted two precious minutes just to run?”
When the female ghost in the water tank saw the hastily drawn accessory, she forgot to struggle.
A wicked smile appeared on Bai Qiuye’s face. “No, I will definitely kill you while you’re weak.”
The female ghost in the water tank was speechless.
Is there anyone who can save me?
Seeing Bai Qiuye slowly raise her hand that held the cleaver, the female ghost in the water tank regained her mobility. She searched her joints, trying to break free from the binding of the invisible hair.
However, she had been too merciless in her attack earlier. After it bounced back at her, this large and heavy ‘rock’ could not be lifted again.
The female ghost in the water tank could only place her hope on the headless ghost who had tried to steal her blood earlier.
At that moment, the sound of stumbling footsteps finally reached the door of the electric room.
A headless ghost stood at the door. Pale hands were exposed from the body bag. Blood dripped down from her severed fingers.
The aura of death, killing intent, and resentment instantly engulfed the entire electric room, directly attacking Bai Qiuye’s back.
Bai Qiuye turned around, and the female ghost in the water tank who was wrapped into a ball was exposed before the headless female body.
The female ghost in the water tank cried out, “Wu wu wu!”
The resentment in the room suddenly froze. The headless female corpse paused for two seconds before she turned around and ran away.
I’m sorry.
Sorry to interrupt.
Bai Qiuye raised the knife and dealt with the female ghost in the water tank before turning to chase after the corpse.
“Don’t run!” She shouted as she chased after him. “I’ll help you release your soul!”
She had already spent her precious two minutes. She had to earn back what she had spent so that she would not feel guilty.
The headless female corpse stumbled as she ran, as if a ghost was chasing after her.
Because it didn’t have a head, it would bump into a water pipe or a milk box from time to time.
‘Your sister! Who wants you help?!’
Ge Zixuan, who was level 24, finally finished handing out the notice for the second floor of Block A’s second building.
He had just reached the third floor when he saw a shadow whizzing past him.
It was a headless corpse, and her whole body was wrapped in a tarp. Her hands were bleeding, and her pale legs were exposed. It was blinding in the equally pale light of the flashlight.
Ge Zixuan was immediately frightened.
He was reminded of what the tenant on the second floor had told him.
‘There’s a ghost on the third floor.’
‘This is a ghost.’
He had just reached the third floor, and he had already run into a ghost!
He was about to turn around and run down the stairs when he saw another shadow fly past him.
It was a woman wearing a dark blue jacket, and there was an inconspicuous level 26 sign above her head.
Ge Zixuan recognized her. She was the player who had joined the dungeon with him, Bai Qiuye.
He paused for a moment before he realised that Bai Qiuye was chasing after the headless ghost.
Ge Zixuan was so shocked that he forgot that he had wanted to run away earlier.
He did not understand. They were only two levels apart, so why would Bai Qiuye chase after the ghost?
Could it be that he was mistaken?
Ge Zixuan tried to recall what he had just seen in his mind.
He confirmed once again that the headless ghost was running away.
At the same time, the viewers who were watching Ge Zixuan’s live broadcast also noticed this shocking scene.
[F*ck, chasing after a ghost?]
[The person chasing after the ghost, are you sure she is level 26 and not level 66?]
[Could this dungeon be below level 20?]
[Impossible, I saw Zhong Xuan’s live broadcast earlier. Even Zhong Xuan would have a hard time in this dungeon, so it can’t be below level 20.]
[F*ck … Who is that person who just passed by? There is no footage of her in the live broadcast!]
[Earlier, when there was a live broadcast, I didn’t pay attention to her. I was only paying attention to the higher-level players.]
[Ge Zixuan, can’t you be a little more confident? Hurry up and go take a look!]
[Don’t be a coward, hurry up and follow her!]
…
Just as the viewers in Ge Zixuan’s live broadcast were clamouring for Ge Zixuan to be the cameraman, Bai Qiuye had already caught up with the headless ghost.
The headless female corpse ran around the floor before returning to the electric room.
She accidentally tripped over the wires on the ground. She sat on the ground and used her hands to support herself as she slowly moved backward.
The light from the green plastic sheeting fell on Bai Qiuye’s face. Her disguised face was expressionless, and it looked eerie.
As she approached, the headless ghost was completely shrouded in Bai Qiuye’s shadow.
