The once brightly lit hall was now shrouded in darkness.
An eerie silence enveloped the surroundings.
Faintly, one could hear the chilling sounds of desperate screams and maniacal laughter.
At this moment, all the doors to the rooms on the first floor were closed.
Except for his room and the other person's room.
There stood the silhouette of an old man.
Xie Tengfei?
No, that couldn't be right; Xie Tengfei wasn't that tall or that large.
The old man's figure blocked the door across from him.
Beside him lay a black bag.
Faint traces of bright red blood could be seen around the black bag...
Blood slowly seeped out from the black bag...
The old man seemed to be retrieving something from the room opposite him.
He moved items piece by piece into the black bag; at first, they were small, block-like objects, then elongated shapes, and finally, a rectangular object accompanied by a circular one.
Once everything was placed into the black bag, it suddenly twisted into a grotesque shape.
It was as if something inside was struggling desperately...
The old man tightened the Black Bag and hoisted it onto his shoulder.
In the next moment, he seemed to see something and suddenly looked up.
A flash of murderous intent appeared in his chaotic gray eyes.
In an instant, the old man took a step forward and found himself right in front of Lin Xun.
“Damn, can the camera zoom out a bit? You scared me!”
“Lately, the NPCs have been a bit too intense…”
“Intense my foot! That’s called dedication. Do you even understand? Not everyone is like you, letting players off easy every day!”
“What’s really in the Black Bag? Anchor, why don’t you ask the old man?”
The old man stood over three meters tall but had to hunch over to look at people.
His entire body was as dry as a zombie that had lost all its moisture, dressed in a filthy gray long coat and pants, exuding a stench of decay.
He resembled a walking garbage heap, and the odor emanating from him was enough to make anyone recoil in fear.
Yet, there was a glimmer of mad laughter in his grayish-white eyes.
**Term: Recycling Ghost**
"Another one!"
The withered arm of the Recycling Ghost suddenly gripped Lin Xun's shoulder.
The dark nails pierced into Lin Xun's flesh.
Lin Xun pressed down hard on the Recycling Ghost's hand.
The sensation in his hand felt like holding a piece of decayed Dried Meat.
It was dry, oily, and had a certain stickiness, as if he could feel fungi seeping into his skin...
"What are you doing?" Lin Xun steadied his mind.
As Xie Tengfei had said, in this Game Dungeon, one must never panic!
"Ten minutes? Hmph... garbage!" The old man's voice dripped with endless sarcasm.
The sharp nails dug deeper into Lin Xun's shoulder.
The intense pain made Lin Xun even more alert.
He pressed down hard on a specific point on the Recycling Ghost's wrist, applying all his strength.
There was an acupoint there; if he pressed hard enough, those fingers would lose their strength.
He no longer cared about anything else, as if he were competing in strength with the Recycling Ghost, desperately pressing down on that acupoint.
But in the next moment, that hand suddenly split open.
Red and white filaments instantly filled Lin Xun's shoulders.
Some even brushed against Lin Xun's lips.
Damn it, I wonder if there's poison!
Lin Xun tore the old man's severed hand off his shoulder and threw it harshly to the ground.
"You only have ten minutes! I came out because I accepted a mission!"
[Now everyone knows you only have ten minutes!]
[The mission isn't the point; ten minutes is what matters!]
[Is ten minutes abnormal? My boyfriend says three minutes is normal...]
[You should consider getting a new boyfriend...]
[You should consider getting a new boyfriend...]
[You should consider getting a new boyfriend...]
[I can be your boyfriend!]
The Recycling Ghost scrutinized Lin Xun with his pale, gray eyes, assessing whether he was lying.
After a moment, the severed hand on the ground began to move like a spider.
It crawled to the Recycling Ghost's feet, climbed up his pant leg, and as if guided by some unseen force, returned to his right wrist.
The hand and wrist fused together at a visible speed, quickly sealing as if nothing had ever happened.
"A man who can't do anything is just trash!"
The Recycling Ghost weighed the Black Bag on his shoulder before turning to leave.
Before departing, he cast a resentful glance at Lin Xun.
Bound by rules, he couldn't do anything to the player.
From within the Black Bag, a muffled groan from a man could be faintly heard.
Lin Xun withdrew his gaze, contemplating the Recycling Ghost's words.
A man who can't do anything is just trash!
Could it be that the man in the bag was truly imitating the predecessor Ning Caichen?
If he was imitating him, how could he still fail to satisfy the female ghost?
Lin Xun touched his injured shoulder and returned to Xiao Yu's room.
After taking a shower in Xiao Yu's room, he casually searched for some healing ointment, had a meal, and drank some alcohol.
Xiao Yu wanted to kill Lin Xun...
Feeling refreshed, Lin Xun looked at the displeased Xiao Yu and said, "You can't do anything to me! You still need me to help you raise the Ransom Money!"
Xiao Yu: ...
I will endure!
Having learned from his experience in Summer Lotus's room, Lin Xun knew that once he accepted a Side Quest, the NPC issuing it could not harm the player.
He then found a silk scarf in the room and covered Xiao Yu's face with it.
Next, he took out two pieces of jewelry from a jewelry box and secured the ends of the scarf to her hair on both sides.
"This looks much better..."
Lin Xun said with satisfaction as he looked at the furious expression on Xiao Yu's face.
Xiao Yu silently chanted, "Don't get angry, don't get angry. I chose this character, so I must play it through even if I cry!"
Then she looked up at Lin Xun and changed her expression to a smile. "Mr. Lin, I'll be waiting for your return! You must help me redeem myself! Otherwise! I will absolutely, absolutely make sure you suffer!"
Though her face was covered, Lin Xun could still vaguely sense the seriousness of her expression.
Lin Xun inexplicably shivered.
Is she really angry?
This is just the beginning...
Women can be so petty!
Lin Xun readily replied, “I always keep my word! I hope, Xiao Yu, that after you turn over a new leaf, you can escape this quagmire and find a good partner to live happily ever after.”
His sincere words surprisingly left Xiao Yu feeling a bit dazed and touched.
But then she recalled his cunning and sly nature, constantly setting traps for her and making things more difficult for their Gui Wu team, which made it hard for her to like him again...
Lin Xun stepped out of Xiao Yu's room.
Although he encountered the Recycling Ghost along the way, when he said, “It’s not ten minutes; I’ve accepted a task,” the Recycling Ghost let him pass.
He stealthily approached the Cowherd's door.
The name Xiao Yu sounded gentle and refined, but in reality, she was quite manipulative.
If he hadn’t been more capable, he might have already ended up as a prize in the Recycling Ghost's bag.
“I wonder what tricks that Cowherd is using to deal with Hua Tian...”
Lin Xun paced outside the Cowherd's door but hesitated to go inside.
In his hand, he held the wooden token of Xiao Yu, not that of the Cowherd. Clearly, entering a non-mission room without permission would lead to trouble.
But could Hua Tian handle the Cowherd alone?
If Hua Tian were gone, it would mean losing an ATM, a hint device, and a compliant auxiliary tool...
Lin Xun was in the midst of mental preparation.
Suddenly, the door burst open from the inside.
A shadow leaped out from within.
Lin Xun didn’t notice who it was; he only saw that the figure seemed to have two horns on its head.
In an instant, as the figure dashed out of the door, Recycling Ghost lunged forward and firmly grasped the shadow in his hand.
He set aside the Black Bag that was slung over his back.
The Black Bag hung loosely, revealing glimpses of blood-red flesh inside, along with the constantly buzzing lips of Ren Tou.
That face—Lin Xun recognized it.
It was Wu Yong!
