(Warning of slight gore)
“…” The silence was spreading. How Zheng Weimin’s pedestrians reacted when they heard the news, Gao Yan and the others didn’t know or weren’t interested in knowing.
Su Jiang scratched his head in confusion: “The thing explaining the rules is the Avalokitesvara. Now that it was taken away by the landlord, we can still hear it talking? Is it a boss or an NPC? …but three people have died without the protection of advanced rules, isn’t it even more dangerous now?”
He was so stunned now that he couldn’t understand the situation at all.
Zheng Weimin said that this is a dungeon that will never kill, but three people died in just one day. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a novice-level dungeon protected by advanced rules.
However, the game clearly stated that this is a novice primary dungeon, and because of the fairness of the rules, it will never be deliberately wrong.
In addition, what puzzled him the most was the statue of Guanyin with eight arms and severed palms.
It is the NPC who interprets the rules, but it is also the one who protects the player.
Su Jiang: “What’s the matter?”
Gao Yan and the three had already come to the downstairs hall, but he did not stop, and continued to walk towards the first and second floors underground.
“I’m not sure either.” Gao Yan had some guesses in his heart, but now the focus is on the ‘master god-level player’.
Due to the appearance of the ‘master god-level player’, the primary field was upgraded to the advanced field as a restriction, and as a result, he was forcibly demoted to the primary field. How powerful is this master god-level player?!
The second floor is the basement, empty and unoccupied, the lights are pale, the air is dark, and the footsteps are extraordinarily loud no matter how light they are.
The door on the second floor was closed, and Su Jiang asked, “Do you want to open the door?”
Yang Mian walked to the nearest room, grabbed the door handle, and tried to open it: “It’s locked, it can’t be opened.”
Gao Yan: “go to the first floor and have a look.” After speaking, he turned and went downstairs.
The two of them also followed and soon reached the entrance of the first floor. The entrance to the corridor was locked by an iron gate, which could not be opened without a key.
Yang Mian was closest to the iron door, and she put her ear to the iron door and listened for a while.
“There are some movements inside, like the sound of wind.” She spoke a little slowly, looking for a suitable description: “There is a sound of water, like a pile of sticky insects or a sticky octopus squeezed together.”
Gao Yan stepped forward and pushed the door, but the iron door didn’t move at all, and it fit tightly with the edge of the door, so there was no way to see the scene inside from the edge.
He glanced at the keyhole: “The landlord should have the key.”
The first floor could not be entered, the door on the second floor was closed, and both floors were very strange. The three were equivalent to returning without success, so they came to the fourth floor. The third floor is the hall, and the fourth floor is the residents who light Buddha incense in front of the door to exorcise evil spirits.
Zheng Weimin and the others seem to think that the venue upstairs watching Luoyin can get more clues, so they have been running upstairs since yesterday.
As for the residents of the fourth floor… Can there be normal people in the garbage game?
Su Jiang knocked on the door first, and the door opened. “Hello—” He then gave a friendly smile.
With a ‘bang’, the door slammed shut, and there was a slight aftershock.
Su Jiang had a distorted handsome little white face: “Am I ugly? Does he know that someone spent 1 million to buy my first night when I first debuted, and I rejected the price because of the low price? Why does he dislike me?!” (T/N: oh god, I really wanna kidnap him and make him my personal human meme (ᗒᗩᗕ))
Yang Mian took a step forward: “I’ll go.”
This time she knocked on a door, and the owner of the house was a 180-pound otaku. The otaku had no resistance to the girls in Japanese high school uniforms. As soon as he opened the iron door outside, he was immediately kicked back into the house by Gao Yan.
Yang Mian was stunned, and following Gao Yan’s more tacit reaction, Su Jiang quickly jumped in and motioned Yang Mian to come in, then closed the two-story door. (T/N: ah ah ah Gao*kickman*Yan)
The 180-pound otaku was held hostage without the ability to resist. He had a big face and was stunned. He didn’t understand how he would encounter robbers at home.
Gao Yan went straight in: “What is there on the first and second floors?”
Hearing this, the otaku showed a look of fear: “You are also here to take risks? I advise you to leave quickly if you don’t want to die. Some things cannot be touched casually”.
“What’s living downstairs?”
“Ghost, didn’t you come here to take risks because you heard that the building was haunted? Many young people and city reporters would come here every once in a while, and they all died in the end.”
It is estimated that there are ghosts living on the second floor. The haunted building according to  the otaku’s mouth is the background of the game, and the adventurer is most likely the player’s identity.
“What about the first floor? Don’t lie to me, the people living on the first floor are not ghosts.”
The otaku’s face became even more frightened. He swallowed and asked tremblingly, “Have you seen that thing?”
Gao Yan said calmly, “We don’t understand, we want to leave, but we can’t leave now.” He pointed at Yang Mian: “You have the heart to have such a lovely girl die here?” (T/N: lol lol Gao*scheming*Yan)
That was really unbearable.
The otaku scratched his head: “Actually, I’m also a new resident. I just moved in not long ago, and I don’t know much about the legend of this building. I heard that a long time ago, this was a temple and enshrined a god statue. Later, superstition was broken, and the temple was demolished, and the foundation was rebuilt into a building. However, there were many accidents, and experts were invited to come over, saying that it was necessary to build a coffin building where yin and yang lived together in order to quell the evil.”
After a pause, he added: “After the tenants move in, they have to live every night lighting the Buddha incense in front of the door to worship, the new residents don’t know the situation, there are nine out of ten accidents. The first floor… the people who live on the first floor are not ghosts.”
“Accurately speaking, it is a group of people who have grievances after death, a condensed monster.”
Gao Yan: “Ghost resentment. What is the source?”
Otaku: “I don’t know. I just came here, and I don’t understand many things.”
Gao Yan thought about it and asked again : “Is there a Guanyin statue in the building?”
Hearing the words ‘Guanyin Statue’, the otaku shrank under the table in fright, and the whole person trembled: “No, there are no other Guanyin statues, no… Don’t ask, you should leave quickly. Don’t ask me again. I don’t know, just go.”
He asked other questions, but most of the questions otaku couldn’t answer, but he was very cooperative with the ones he could answer. In the end, there was nothing to ask, so Gao Yan got up and left.
When he reached the door, Gao Yan suddenly turned his head and called the house man: “Will you and the residents in the building go to the landlord’s mother’s funeral?”
“Ah?”
Gao Yan nodded: “Thank you” (T/N: lol didn’t even leave a room for refusal haha)
“No, no thanks.” The door closed, and the otaku returned to the living room and curled up on the sofa. Outside the door, the three of them stood in the silent fourth-floor corridor.
Su Jiang asked in a low voice, “Are the residents in the building human? There are still living NPCs in the garbage game?!”
It’s high-end and realistic.
“It’s not an NPC.” Yang Mian said calmly: “The game is limited to six days, and there are always people who live for six days but fail to complete the game mission. They can’t live or die. Because of the rules, they become temporary in-game and ghosts. The ‘artifact’ of peaceful coexistence, it’s not even an NPC. We are a beginner now, and we can easily get information, but it will be difficult to get prompt information from the ‘artifact’ and the NPC’s mouth in the future.”
Su Jiang suddenly felt shivering, human beings trapped in a ghost building forever and becoming an ‘artifact’, and becoming a resident according to the settings given by the game, like an obedient puppet implanted with a program, it is better to be eaten by the landlord, at least in the form of delicious food, instead of becoming an NPC!
Gao Yan touched his stomach and said to himself, “I’m hungry, let’s find out if there is anything to eat.” He waved at Yang Mian: “If you have something to say, go back and ask the landlord for something to eat first. I want to order something to fill my stomach, I am hungry and tired, and my limbs are weak.”
Yang Mian: “…There are not many young people like you who insist on eating breakfast.” (T/N: right, I would probably starve myself to death in this ghostly place!)
She had not known what breakfast was for two years, so when she got up early in the morning, she didn’t feel hungry until now. (T/N: two years?)
Gao Yan was noncommittal: “Really? Breakfast is good for promoting blood circulation.”
When they returned to the fifth floor, they happened to see the landlord pushing the dining car to knock open rooms. Some rooms were violently kicked open when no one responded.
It turned out that because the three life-saving props were cancelled, Zheng Weimin had to share the same room in pairs to reduce the use of Buddha incense.
They opened the door one after another, stared at the cannibal landlord with displeased and wary expressions, and refused the lunch provided by the landlord.
On the other hand, Zheng Weimin took the lunch and glanced at Gao Yan before returning to the room. He felt relieved when he saw the three of them returning empty-handed.
Gao Yan: “Give us three lunches.”
The landlord: “…”  He froze and squeezed a smile. After giving out three lunches, he specially gave Gao Yan a small jar of fruit candy, which he held back for a long time. Two words came out: “gift.” (T/N: haha, the landlord surely can’t live peacefully)
Gao Yan looked at the landlord with a paradoxical look: “You can bring real-world candy here?”
The landlord: “Imported, Imported through special channels.” (T/N: btw you would have probably guessed to sent the candy )
The unimaginable pride of this group of trash, he immediately thought of the dog who forced him to deliver candy to compare things, and his heart was suddenly full of grievances. (T/N: omg , candy in exchange of things, the way he calls him dog lol)
Gao Yan took the three lunches and the small can of fruit candy, while the landlord pushed the dining cart back angrily.
Su Jiang took the three lunches, took time to look at the candy jar, and said in surprise, “Isn’t this the fruit candy brand that you always eat, Brother Yan?”
He almost forgot that Gao Yan had low blood sugar, it was not serious , just eat a candy bar when you’re hungry. However, he was in a hurry when he entered the game, and he didn’t bring any candy with him. Fortunately, the landlord gave him the same brand of fruit candy. (T/N: hm hm the landlord or someone else~)
“It’s quite human.” Su Jiang muttered.
Yang Mian was absent-minded and didn’t notice this.
The three entered the room and found that the room had been searched.
Gao Yan had expected it long ago. He said, “We survived without burning Buddhist incense last night. Zheng Weimin must have suspected that we had life-saving props, so he would steal them while we were out.”
Su Jiang: “Fortunately, we sold the Avalokitesvara.” Thinking about it, it suddenly felt like a good deal.
Gao Yan asked them to eat first, fill their stomachs, and then discuss other things. He put the can of fruit candy in his pocket, and when he finished eating, he opened it and took an orange-flavored candy and put it in his mouth. (T/N: my favourite ♡(> ਊ <)♡)
The mellow taste and the full amount of fruit juice are indeed a brand that is usually eaten.
Gao Yan lay down on the sofa with his eyes down, his quiet appearance was extraordinarily well-behaved and gentle, his black hair fell obediently, his skin was fair, and his face was handsome.
He looked small and immature, like a freshman.
In fact, he had just participated in the internship after graduation from the university, but he calmly took the other two people throughout the whole process, which was simply too reliable.
Yang Mian cleared her throat: “Let me re-introduce myself. My name is Lu Yangmian, a professional financial analyst and a native of Suihai City. To be precise, I am the next head of the Changchun Taoist Temple in Suihai, and a Taoist priest.”
Gao Yan raised his eyes, slightly surprised.
Inexperienced and incompetent, Su Xiaojiang exclaimed: “Sister, why do you have hair?” (T/N: lol this Su*low than average minded*Jiang )
“…I’m a Taoist priest, not a nun. You can still call me Yang Mian as before, and I don’t have the surname Lu until I have officially transferred the property.” Yang Mian took a deep breath and said, “I entered the game on my own initiative, the purpose is to cultivate. The specific situation is unclear at the moment, and I don’t know the essence of the game. Because this is also my novice primary field, I may not be able to live to the advanced field, so no one told me the essence of the game.”
“The only thing I know is that death is real, and the rewards obtained by clearing the game are also real. I didn’t take the initiative to explain at the beginning because I was afraid of unpredictable people. It’s better to pretend that you don’t know anything. About This…I’m sorry.”
Gao Yan and Su Jiang understood Yang Mian’s concealment and didn’t care.
Yang Mian frowned: “And Zheng Weimin, I’ve heard of him before. He has a very bad reputation and often deceives newcomers, deliberately misleading information and killing many newcomers. The specific operation is unknown.”
After speaking, she hesitated for a moment and looked at Gao Yan: “You seem to know Xuanmen * very well…”
*I googled it but couldn’t come up with any right definition, so in my understanding ig according to what he has been explaining about ghost and stuffs, xuanmen also means come kind of spiritual stuff, ghosts, etc etc*
“No. I took over a lot of planning-related private work in the four years of college, and for two years I was writing copywriting for a spiritual forum, and I checked a lot of related materials”
Su Jiang: “I can testify that there is an entire row of folk books in Brother Yan’s study.”
After the two sides were candid, their relationship became more trustworthy.
Su Jiang asked: “Do you want to continue looking for clues? This time, you have to go upstairs.”
Gao Yan: “There are four days left, don’t worry.” He turned around and asked Yang Mian, “Do you know the main god-level player?”
He wanted to know the information of the main god-level player who triggered the hidden story.
Yang Mian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied, “Before I came in, there were no main god-level players.”
In other words, the main god-level players may have successfully advanced in these two days.
“However,” Yang Mian added: “If the person who is most likely to advance to the main god-level player should come from the ‘Gods’.
The ‘Gods’ is a team with only thirteen members, and there are three main gods members of the level, and they are all high-level gods. Identity… uh, I don’t know, I can’t hear more information as non-players. But once we leave alive, we are full of players, and we can know a lot about the game and the gods.”
” ‘Gods’ is a legend.” Yang Mian held her face with a longing expression. “Many people in our Taoism actually participated in this game. Basically, they all knew about ‘gods’, and their dream was achieved one day and they were chosen as new teammates.”
Yang Mian doesn’t know more about the game than them, and she is also a novice, the starting line is the same, it is an absolutely fair rule.
Gao Yan: “You can do your own activities in the afternoon, Yang Mian, first give me three Buddhist incense sticks.”
Yang Mian gave him three Buddhist incense sticks, and the remaining 17 sticks are still with her.
In the afternoon, Yang Mian and Su Jiang went upstairs to find clues, while Gao Yan was taking a nap.
In the evening, the landlord came to deliver dinner and stared at the player like pork. Gao Yan also received the same treatment.
Gao Yan: “Is it okay to introduce an import channel to me?”
The landlord sneered: “You have a big face.”
Gao Yan: “We have a business relationship, aren’t we familiar with each other?”
Without saying a word, the landlord pushed the small broken dining car to run around with bangs – neither one of the above he said is a thing.
Gao Yan shook his head: “What can I do if he’s shy?” (T/N: lol)
Su Jiang and Yang Mian behind him were speechless, brother, are you blind? (T/N: I like it when they are left speechless, lol lol)
In the middle of the night, Su Jiang washed the dishes and put five or two uncooked rice at the door. Yang Mian took three Buddhist incense sticks and put them on the uncooked rice. Then, the three of them gathered around the living room after washing up. Because they had naps in the afternoon, they didn’t feel sleepy at the moment.
Gao Yan: “Su jiang, didn’t I ask you to bring melon seeds and green tea bags back? Take them out.”
Taking advantage of Sujiang’s time to boil the water, Gao Yan went out with three Buddhist incense sticks, and came back after a while just in time for green tea. soaked.
Su Jiang: “Brother, where did you go?”
Gao Yan picked up the green tea and took a sip: “To solve Zheng Weimin, he is a t rouble.” (T/N: Gao*trouble cleaner*Yan)
Yang Mian was stunned: “He is very cunning, he has many life-saving tools, and it is estimated that he will not die.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Gao Yan grabbed the sunflower seeds: “Freud * said that gossip is human nature – chatting and sleeping late at night.”
*Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies in the psyche through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst*
Su Jiang was overjoyed, grabbed the melon seeds and chatted about all kinds of gossip in the circle. Yang Mian originally wanted to say that Freud didn’t say that, but she listened to the gossip while nibbling the seeds, and gradually became fascinated.
——What Freud said really makes sense!
Su Jiang and Yang Mian fell asleep, and Gao Yan was awakened in the middle of the night as usual. There was an earth-shattering sound in the corridor, accompanied by Zheng Weimin’s terrified scolding and cries for help. It lasted for about forty minutes, and the movement outside gradually died down.
Then came the crunching sound, the gnawing sound of bones being shattered and flesh chewing between canine teeth.
Gao Yan kept his eyes open until nearly early morning before falling asleep, only to be woken up by screams within two hours, so he had to get up.
Not surprisingly, Zheng Weimin died.
His body was hung upside down from the ceiling, his arms were torn off, his chest was slit open, and half of his internal organs were eaten.
It’s still like killing a pig.
The remaining four players couldn’t help but collapse, the strongest backer died. How could they leave here alive now?
One of the elite men and another woman suddenly remembered that there were still three Buddha incense sticks left, so they endured the pungent smell of blood and entered the room to search.
Unfortunately, the three Buddha incense sticks were not found.
While everyone was staring at the corpse, Gao Yan pulled out the three thin bamboo handles of Buddha incense from the bowl of raw rice at the door of Zheng Weimin’s room.
Only Yang Mian noticed this scene, and at the same time found that the bowl of raw rice at the door of Zheng Weimin’s room originally had six Buddha incense sticks.
The other three that came out should be the three that Gao Yan took out last night.
There are five or two raw rice in front of the door, three Buddha incense sticks for ghosts and spirits, and six Buddha incense sticks to attract evil spirits.
The author has something to say:
Chu Suibi: Even if the level of the game field is different, it can’t stop me from giving candy to my wife!
Landlord: BULSHIT!!!
Author: If you say fattening, do you have the heart?
Readers who do not comment will lose five or two raw rice in front of the withered door, six Buddha incense, etc., but generally choose three, five, seven, and nine incense for worshipping gods and ghosts. (T/N: T_T)
Freud said that gossip is human nature.
——Freud: I didn’t fucking say that!
PS: Shou is not the main god, he is a novice. The main god player who appeared in the previous chapter is the attack(gong). {T/N: as expected of every ML in unlimited f lows~}
