Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 19 Part 1

There were men and women among these twenty people, all of different ages. Under the pale white light of the flashlight, their skin appeared cold green, their eyes were dull, and their expressions were numb.

They appeared so suddenly that all the players held their breath at the same time.

Bai Qiuye discovered that these people did not have shadows, the edges of their bodies were clearly transparent.

She could even see the back of the chair through their chests.

These people were all ghosts without physical bodies.

At this time, one of them stood up, followed by the second, and the third one.

The twenty ghosts stood up one by one, slowly following the first one out the door.

The light in the corridor became very strange, the blue of the wall and the green of the rust mixed together, it was like a gloomy color painted by a deranged artist.

After these ghosts left the room, they scattered, some went upstairs, some went straight to the door of the apartment, and some went into the duty room.

It was only after all twenty ghosts had left the room that they dared to breathe.

Li Gushu said: “Among those ghosts just now, four of them were wearing the night watchman uniform.”

The person in Ge Zixuan’s group said: “Are they returning to their souls?”

Li Gushu said: “I feel like they are some kind of earthbound spirit.”

That person said: “If they are earthbound spirits, that means they died here before.”

“That’s possible, let’s count, how many corpses have we found so far?” Another person in his group said: “The third floor’s southwest corner electric room, the sixth floor’s room number nine, a room on the ninth floor, and a fish tank on the fourth floor where a night watchman worker drowned.”

At this time, the light above them flickered a few times, and then came back on.

The room regained its light, but it did not bring any sense of security.

Bai Qiuye’s gaze fell on the two corpses on the ground.

These two corpses had already turned into zombies. After being stabbed a few times by her during the newbie protection, they seemed to have completely stopped and turned into corpses.

“A person’s soul is good, but their wpirit is evil. When the soul leaves its owner, it will turn into a zombie.” Noticing her gaze, Li Gushu said: “In all the copies, ghosts with physical bodies basically come from this.”

“So, the twenty ghosts in the room just now, they don’t have physical bodies, they are souls?” Bai Qiuye asked.

“Probably. However, this is only the experience that everyone has gradually summed up. After all, there is no textbook, so no one can guarantee its accuracy. “Li Gushu said,” There has to be a way to differentiate between the two, right? ”

“If that’s the case, then one thing can be explained.” Bai Qiuye said, “Among those ghosts just now, there were two that looked very similar to these two corpses.”

Bai Qiuye didn’t know what the headless woman looked like, but she recognized her through her leopard-print manicure.

As for the female ghost in the water tank, Bai Qiuye had shared a room with her for a long time, so she had seen her with one glance.

Seeing this, Li Gushu walked over to the corpse and used the flashlight to open the body bag.

One of the headless woman’s arms fell to the ground. The cross-section of her severed finger started to show signs of decay. She started to emit a foul stench like a normal corpse.

Li Gushu then laid the body of the woman in the water tank flat.

The female ghost in the water tank was bloated like she had been in the water for a long time. She looked incredibly disgusting.

The two corpses were placed side by side. The incandescent light above their heads shone down, making the room appear as silent as a funeral hall.

Bai Qiuye squatted to the side and observed for a long time. Suddenly, she said, “Both of them have needles on their hands.”

The spot she was pointing at was indeed more swollen than the other places. There was a small needle mark on it. If one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t have noticed it.

“It looks like the location of the indwelling needle.” Li Gushu said, “This kind of needle mark will heal in two to three days, but after a person dies, their body won’t heal on its own.”

“Could it be that before they died, they recieved infusions?”

Bai Qiuye remembered the complete newspaper that she had seen in Room 303.

One of the articles said that three bodies had been stolen from Golden Eagle Bay Hospital. One of the male bodies was recovered, but the other two female bodies were missing.

The headless woman and the female ghost in the water tank were most likely the two missing female bodies.

Then, the twenty ghosts earlier didn’t all die in the beautiful apartment.

Some of them might have been trapped.

Especially the female ghost in the water tank and the headless woman.

One of them was immersed in the water tank in a unique way.

The other’s body part was sealed inside the Guanyin statue. No matter how one looked at it, it was an evil spell.

In other words, someone purposely stole them from the hospital.

Even though Li Gushu hadn’t read the newspaper, she could guess that the two bodies came from the hospital.

“Is it one person or several people who are keeping the bodies in the beautiful apartment.?” She said, “Other than what we know now, we don’t know if there are any other hidden dangers.”

“The next task will definitely not be as simple as the first task.” She added, “First, Ah Long only said that we shouldn’t disturb the master’s ritual, but he didn’t tell us what to do if we accidentally bump into him during our patrol. Will it affect the completion rate of the task?”

“Secondly, there are a total of nine steps in this job. If you can separate them into one step, you should know that every step is filled with danger. This means that we’ll run into a problem with every floor we patrol. ”

The others nodded. They agreed with Li Gushu’s words.

“Third, there’s a ticking time bomb among us.”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

‘What does she mean by a ticking time bomb among us?’

Li Gushu turned around and looked at one of the players. “When you were doing the tasks earlier, did you take something?”

The people in the same group as him were confused. They all turned around to look at him. “What did you take?”

The player was shocked and shook his head. “What? I didn’t take anything. ”

Li Gushu said, “If you don’t want to die, then be honest.”

Bai Qiuye felt that this was a bit strange. She didn’t think that Li Gushu would randomly pick a fight.

If Li Gushu said this, it must be because that person did something.

She carefully looked at that person. She suddenly noticed that his forehead was black, his eyes were red, and there was a black mark on the whites of his eyes.

However, it was different from birthmarks on the eyes. The shape on the whites of his eyes was perfect. The edges were clear and the two eyes were symmetrical.

It looked like there were two human faces in his eyes.

More importantly, when he came in earlier, there was no such thing in his eyes.

Bai Qiuye: “Your eyes!”

“What’s wrong with my eyes?” That person still didn’t know what happened and asked the people in his group.

When the people in his group saw this, they were scared and took a few steps back.

“There’s a ghost face in your eyes …”

When that person heard this he felt dizzy. “Impossible, impossible, what does it look like?”

Bai Qiuye said, “How do you want us to describe it to you?”

That person gritted his teeth and reached into his pocket. He slowly took out something. “I just notified the fourth floor of Building 2, Block B. I found this there.”

The thing was wrapped in three layers. When it was opened, it turned out to be a statue.

It was a woman. Her arms were crossed and her head was slightly lowered. She seemed to be taking a nap.

However, there were no eyes or nose carved on this statue. There was only a slightly upturned mouth that was coloured with red paint.

The moment he took out the statue everyone trembled.

Bai Qiuye looked at the statue in surprise.

The statue looked very similar to the black mark in this person’s eyes.

“Heavens, you actually brought this thing back.” Zeng Xianqing exclaimed. “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

“… I just feel that there might be some clues that will help us with our next task.” The man smiled reluctantly, his face a little pale.

“Clues?! You think this is a special prop and you want to keep it for yourself!” The people in the same group as him were instantly enraged. “Are you trying to get us killed?”

“No, it’s really not that.” That person hurriedly explained. “I just saw a statue of a god that I’ve never seen before in the corridor. I brought it down out of curiosity.”

Hei Chunhua said, “You’re saying that this is a statue of a god?”

That person’s voice trembled. “Isn’t it? It was placed on the altar. There are tall candles on both sides —”

“This is a ghost.” Zhong Xuan interrupted him. “Someone is worshiping a ghost.
You’ve already been haunted. ”

After he said that, he added gloomily, “I’m afraid that this thing won’t only target you.”

That person was on the verge of collapsing. His hands were shaking like sieve. In a moment of carelessness, the statue fell from his hands.

Hei Chunhua, Zhong Xuan, and Li Gushu went to catch it at the same time. They didn’t expect that when the three of them used their strength, the statue would actually fly out.

Pa!

It instantly broke into pieces. Inside was a black lump that looked like coal.

An indescribable fragrance filled the entire room.

[Congratulations, you’ve triggered the curse of resentment — Death Aura.]

[She loved fragrances when she was alive. After she died, she loved the breath before she died even more.]

[She has been following you. As time passes, she gradually thinks of her favourite thing.]

[When she appears for the fourth time, you will be killed by her.]

Bai Qiuye recognized that the black lump should be a clump of hair.

However, there was something else wrapped around the hair. It looked like the texture of mud.

The moment this notification appeared, that person’s teammates rushed forward and grabbed his collar. “F*ck you, Gao Lang!”

Gao Lang said pitifully, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

His teammate said with bloodshot eyes, “You’ve dragged us all into this! F*ck! ”

At this moment, his teammate was suddenly pushed away.

Gao Lang got a chance to breathe. He said to the person who helped him push his teammate away, “Thank you. Let’s think of another way —”

His voice stopped abruptly because he saw that the person who helped him just now was actually Zhong Xuan.

Zhong Xuan asked, “What can you think of?”

Gao Lang said, “Just … go to the fourth floor and ask the residents where this thing came from.”

Zhong Xuan nodded. “Very good.”

Gao Lang silently sighed in relief.

It seemed that Zhong Xuan wasn’t angry.

At this moment, he was suddenly punched in the face. Half of his face became swollen.

The force was so strong that it directly flipped Gao Lang over. He fell on his back in the middle of the twenty chairs and looked at Zhong Xuan in a daze.

Zhong Xuan rolled up his sleeves and took two steps toward him. “But, you didn’t have to do this. You made things troublesome, do you understand?”

Gao Lang nodded repeatedly and said incoherently, “Mm, I know, I know.”

Zhong Xuan bent down and grabbed his hair, slowly turning him from a supine position to a kneeling position. “You knew? If you knew, you wouldn’t have brought this damn thing back. ”

Before he finished speaking, he directly pressed Gao Lang’s head and slammed it against the ground.

The sound of his head hitting the concrete floor was unusually crisp. Gao Lang’s forehead was immediately injured, and blood flowed down his temples.

“It’s me, it’s my fault … Please, I can atone for my sins …” Half of Gao Lang’s front teeth were missing. When he spoke, his saliva mixed with blood and splattered everywhere.

“Atone for your sins?” Zhong Xuan sneered. “You?”

He expressionlessly kicked Gao Lang’s abdomen. Gao Lang’s body was like a cooked shrimp, and he immediately curled into a ball.

Zeng Xianqing wanted to go forward, but Zhong Xuan suddenly looked back at her.

Her husband grabbed her arm and shook his head at her.

Zeng Xianqing stepped back and silently looked at her feet, not saying a word.

In the live broadcast room, the audience exploded.

[Zhong Xuan has finally started.]

[He acted so normal before that I thought someone was wearing the same mask as him.]

[Can you not mention the mask? I really want to laugh.]

[This Gao Lang probably won’t have a good time. Zhong Xuan is such a vengeful person. He will definitely kill him.]

[Gao Lang deserves it. He even dared to take this kind of thing. Even if Zhong Xuan doesn’t kill him, he will eventually be killed by himself in the end.]

[Last time, I saw a greedy guy pick up a Buddha statue in a copy. He thought it was a defensive prop, but in the end, everyone was killed.]
