Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 23 Part 2

She felt smug for a while, but when she remembered that her invincibility was granted by the mission, she felt dejected.

She was just a woman who could only hold on for five seconds.

“There’s only one left.”

The last ghost was the female ghost who had given them the curse.

Bai Qiuye thought of its appearance and felt some fear in her heart.

‘From the moment I found it, I only had five seconds of invincibility. I’ve tried so many times just now. As long as my defence is maxed out, those ghosts can’t do anything to my Black Tiger Heart Gouging Palm.’

Black Tiger Heart Gouging Palm was the name she gave herself for stuffing talismans into the ghosts’ mouths.

The more famous the name, the less timid she was when using it.

Bai Qiuye stood in the corridor and prepared herself mentally for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind to face the female ghost.

However, since she returned to the fifth floor, the female ghost hadn’t appeared.

Bai Qiuye had basically figured out the rules of this ghost hunting game.

Ghosts couldn’t hide in houses and ghosts couldn’t go to other floors.

Therefore, she was very sure that the female ghost was nearby and hiding in the dark to observe her, waiting for an opportunity to kill her.

[Countdown to separation of soul and body: 3 minutes.]

Time was tight. When Bai Qiuye saw the notification on the terminal, she made a megaphone with one hand. “Where are you?”

Only her own voice echoed in the corridor.

Bai Qiuye thought for a moment and hid the knife in her clothes. “Come out quickly. I didn’t bring any weapons.”

The ghost wasn’t as stupid as she expected. It was very calm.

Bai Qiuye was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. If she continued to hide, she really wouldn’t be able to live anymore.

“How about this? You come out. I’ll stand still and let you hit me twice.” Bai Qiuye softened her tone and said in a sweet voice mixed with honey, “After you hit me, I’ll hit you again. If you beat me to death, I won’t have to hit you anymore. Look, aren’t you getting a good deal?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the light bulb above her head flickered a few times.

Bai Qiuye was delighted. She had a chance.

Unexpectedly, the ghost just fiddled with the light bulb and didn’t do anything else.

Bai Qiuye: “…”

It seemed that it was forcing her to use her ultimate move.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned red. “If you don’t come out, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost!”

Suddenly, the lights in the corridor went off, and a slender figure appeared in front of Bai Qiuye.

The cold wind blew, and the uncomfortable fragrance quickly infected the air in the corridor.

They became morbidly dense, slowly climbing from the respiratory tract into the lungs.

The poison contained in the Fragrant seemed to have a strange color, distorting the light and shadows in the corridor.

The female ghost crossed her arms, her long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her face was blank, but her red lips were incomparably gorgeous.

However, it wasn’t smiling right now.

Its lips curled downwards, looking exceptionally bitter.

“I don’t want.”

[You’ve found the ninth ‘person’ who’s hiding.]

[You’ve gained five seconds of invincibility.]

Bai Qiuye looked at the countdown timer and passed the knife with the talisman on it forward.

She thought the female ghost would run away, but she didn’t expect the female ghost to take a step closer to her.

Bai Qiuye was startled. “You want to hit me? Then hurry up. ”

She was running out of time.

The female ghost said, “Help me.”

Bai Qiuye tilted her head.

Help it?

She couldn’t think of anything to help it with.

Bai Qiuye was about to ask when the female ghost bumped into her knife, and the tip of the knife with the talisman sank into its chest.

The talisman burned from the inside, and sparks of fire appeared on the female ghost’s chest like burning magma.

The smell of burning broke through the air that was covered by the fragrance, and Bai Qiuye felt her respiratory tract catch a breath.

It was just like the first time she used the newbie protection mechanism remove the curse.

The coldness in her bones seemed to be pulled out one by one at this moment.

The feeling of being constantly watched also disappeared.

[The ninth “person” has been caught by you.]

[Part-time Job

Work matter: The deceased resident wishes to play a game of ghost hunting at this moment. They want you to play the game with them for thirty minutes.

Work progress: 1/1 (completed)

Work reward: 40 Survival Coupons. Because you have exceeded the work requirements and provided excellent service to your employer, you will receive an additional 40 Survival Coupons.

(Currently, your employer has suffered irreversible damage in the game. The reward will be directly given by the system.)]

[Death aura has been removed.]

At the same time, on the other side of the copy, Li Gushu’s gaze moved away from the terminal and landed on the others.

“My curse has been removed, what about you guys?”

“Me too!” Ge Zixuan’s group said, “That’s too strange.”

“Could it be Zhong Xuan’s group, or that level 58 boss did something?” Another person in his group said.

“Possibly,” Li Gushu said.

Other than suspecting Hei Chunhua and Zhong Xuan, she also thought of Bai Qiuye.

From what she knew, Bai Qiuye’s level 26 was a disguise, and Bai Qiuye was actually a level 51 player.

So, if the other two could do it, Bai Qiuye could do it too.

If these three people work together, or even two people work together, without the influence of other players, it was not impossible to get rid of a berserk curse.

Because the special props they had accumulated were all for this moment.

But deep in Li Gushu’s heart, there was a faint thought— others might not be able to, but Bai Qiuye alone could get rid of the curse.

From the moment Bai Qiuye woke her up in the ghost town, this seed called “blindness” was silently planted in her heart.

Blind trust.

Li Gushu always thought that Bai Qiuye was hiding her strength.

In front of others, she would never reveal her true strength.

Bai Qiuye was like a pearl that was picky about the environment, ordinary during the day.

But when she hid in a hidden place, when she was alone in the darkness, it was the time for her to shine brightly.

Li Gushu felt that it was a pity.

Bai Qiuye’s choice was destined to be a path that could not receive flowers and applause.

At the same time, Li Gushu was also very impressed.

Very few people would choose this path without any benefits.

But they were truly worthy of admiration.

The two beside her only felt that Li Gushu’s expression was very deep, but they did not know what had happened.

Moments after the curse was removed, there was a frenzy of channels in the stream.

Almost all of the audience members were switching between the individual cameras that had been activated.

They were looking for who had removed the curse.

[First of all, excluding Li Gushu, the other two with her have their cameras turned on. She didn’t do it.]

[Waiting for the level 58 god. He didn’t turn on his camera.]

[Also waiting for Zhong Xuan. He suddenly turned off his camera.]

[Looks like it’s between the level 58 god and Zhong Xuan.]

[Didn’t the level 26 Yeye not turn on her camera too?]

[Yeah, I saw from Ge Zixuan’s perspective that Yeye took on a part-time job and killed one of the ghosts.]

[I suddenly want to see her camera.]

[It shouldn’t be her. Her part-time job isn’t finished yet. She probably didn’t have time to remove the curse.]

[Speaking of which, Ge Zixuan is really good at hiding.]

In the copy, a continuous stream of messages appeared on the terminal.

Bai Qiuye raised the knife, and a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.

That’s it?

Wasn’t it a little too smooth?

The moment the curse was removed, Bai Qiuye saw a familiar statue on the ground.

It was the white porcelain statue of a woman with her arms crossed.

But now, compared to before, the creepiness had lessened quite a bit.

Bai Qiuye poked it with the tip of the knife, and a new message popped up on the terminal.

[Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue (Unable to be controlled): Fragrant Lady Lin Ying was brutally killed and dismembered. Later, she was refined into a curse by a master using evil techniques and could not be removed. Her resentment grew day by day and became extremely deep and heavy. Fragrant Lady is good at creating illusions, entering dreams, and marking. If she reveals her true body, there must be blood. Otherwise, it will backfire on the user.

After using the Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue, the user’s real level (ability affected) will decrease by 10 levels within 6 hours. Can be used repeatedly until the level becomes negative.

(Fragrant Lady is still under control. Even if you obtain the corpse statue, you will not be able to control it.)]

Bai Qiuye read the message carefully.

“Decrease by 10 levels within 6 hours?”
Bai Qiuye hesitated for a moment. “I’m only level 1. If I use this item, won’t my level drop to -9 …”

Thinking of the ‘-9’ icon above her head and running rampant in the copy, she suddenly felt a strong sense of malice.

“It’s better than nothing. At least it’s a special prop.” Bai Qiuye’s heart was finally at ease.

Ever since Golden boy fused with 09, its item description had disappeared.

Bai Qiuye had been brooding over this. She was worried that Golden boy’s lethality would be affected and it would turn from a powerful artefact to a mascot.

After obtaining the Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue, Bai Qiuye’s hanging heart finally calmed down. She had one more card to play.

Furthermore, Fragrant Lady was able to scare all of them into stray dogs. She had a very high opinion of Fragrant Lady in her heart.

The only pity was that the item description indicated that Fragrant Lady was still under control.

The one controlling Fragrant Lady was definitely the Taoist Master that Ah Long had invited.

If she wanted to control Fragrant Lady, she would probably need the Taoist Master’s cooperation.

However, the various things that happened in the beautiful apartment made Bai Qiuye unable to believe the Taoist Master’s position.

Bai Qiuye sighed. She put away the Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue and placed it into the pocket where she had kept the Golden boy statue.

In the pocket, a shadow of four heads seeped out from the Golden boy statue.

Eight pairs of venomous eyes stared at the Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue.

The Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue trembled under the continuous gaze attack.

Three of the four heads spoke in a voice that only they could hear: “As a newcomer, you actually dare to make so many requests. Back then, I visited the master three times before she let me stay.”

The Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue trembled again.

The three heads spoke again: “Scared? I’m the most gentle one among my master’s subordinates. If you meet the more experienced ones, I’m afraid your soul will scatter on the spot.”

The Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue went from standing upright to lying flat in Bai Qiuye’s pocket.

Bai Qiuye suspiciously took out the Fragrant Lady Corpse Statue and looked at it. Seeing that it didn’t move, she put it back.

Right at this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps not far away.

Bai Qiuye turned around and saw Ge Zixuan following her.

Bai Qiuye asked: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you going to continue planting mushrooms on the mezzanine?”

Ge Zixuan laughed dryly: “Aha, um hahaha. I heard no movements upstairs and thought something happened to you, so I came up to take a look.”
