I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

In fact, this bizarre murder case is a wake-up call for the chosen ones in the second trial, letting them know how dangerous the second trial is and what kinds of bizarre things are involved.

As for why Zhang Yangqing wasn't afraid at all, and why his demeanor remained calm, it was because he had already guessed it.

Just like this murder case, many Chosen Ones and the Melancholy and the Strange were afraid because they couldn't analyze any useful information.

If they analyze things like Zhang Yangqing does, making everything crystal clear, then the murderer is no different from someone standing naked in front of Zhang Yangqing.

The other chosen ones panicked, not because they lacked ability, but because of the fear brought by the unknown.

You know everything, so what are you afraid of?
Didn't the Ghost Stories World give you any information? Aren't there information everywhere?

In this dangerous world, everything depends on intelligence gathering and analysis. Without intelligence, it's just a horror game.

The body in the lounge had been disposed of. Zhang Yangqing and Youyu Weiqi continued upstairs. The higher they went, the more oppressive the atmosphere became, as if something had already happened.

The sounds of fighting were coming from the eighth floor.

If Zhang Yangqing remembered correctly, the eighth floor was the guest room area, where seven guests stayed, along with their servants.

When Zhang Yangqing arrived, the corridor was already a mess.

There were deep claw marks on the walls, large patches of blood on the floor, and the ceiling light had been smashed by something, with shards of glass scattered all over the floor.

At this very moment, a powerful and eerie entity is attacking a female guest.

The bizarre creature was enormous, like a small mountain, covered in jet-black scales, each scale as big as a palm.

Its head is triangular, and its mouth is very large, stretching to its ears, revealing several rows of sharp teeth.

Its arms are long, reaching down to its knees, with barbs on its fingers, and a thick tail trailing behind it. The end of the tail is a bone hammer, which smashes a dent into the wall with each swing.

The eerie creature's blood-red eyes were fixed intently on the female guest.

There were four corpses on the ground, two of them dressed in servants' uniforms, lying slumped on either side of the corridor, their bloodstains soaking into the carpet.

A body dressed in civilian clothes was lying face down with three deep claw marks on its back.

Another body was leaning against the corner of the wall, with a large hole in its chest, through which shattered bones and mangled flesh could be seen.

The female guest is activating her protective magic item to resist.

A golden shield, about the size of a palm, was floating in front of her, spinning rapidly and emitting rings of light.

Each time the eerie claw swung its claws, a piercing scraping sound and sparks flew as the claws grazed the shield.

The shield's light grew dimmer and its rotation slowed, as if it were about to give way.

The female customer's forehead was covered in sweat, her lips were pale, and her legs were trembling.

If we call for reinforcements now, this guest is probably already dead.

Judging from her location, she was trapped in a dead end at the end of the corridor, with a wall behind her, a wall to her left, and a wall to her right. Only in front of her was the wide passageway, and in the passageway stood that enormous figure.

Once the shield shatters, her death is imminent.

Other chosen ones can choose to lure the strange creature away from their prey, actively attracting its attention, and then escape the pursuit in a safe place before returning.

Zhang Yangqing's method was simple and direct; he simply walked up, his gloves already activated, a pale purple halo slowly flowing across the back of his hand.

He walked up to the eerie creature, raised his hand, and punched it in the side of its knee.

The strange body swayed slightly, looked down at Zhang Yangqing, and a hint of confusion flashed in its blood-red eyes.

Then it swung its claw and slapped down at Zhang Yangqing's head.

Zhang Yangqing sidestepped the claw attack, grabbed its arm, turned his body, and used the strange force of his own claw strike to pull it forward.

The bizarre, enormous body lost its balance and staggered forward two steps. Zhang Yangqing didn't let go; he kicked the bizarre creature's knee, causing it to fall forward and crash to the ground with a dull thud.

He flipped over and mounted the strange creature's back, grabbed its head with his left hand, and pushed its chin with his right, then twisted it forcefully.

"Click".

His head was strangely tilted, and his neck was violently snapped.

Its body twitched a few times, then stopped moving.

Within the area affected by the interference gloves, the Weird was unable to use energy and could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with Zhang Yangqing.

Hand-to-hand combat was his forte; his skill and strength completely overwhelmed this enormous monster.

A melancholy and eerie figure approached, collecting the bizarre corpse into the painting, leaving only a pool of dark liquid on the ground.

Zhang Yangqing walked up to the female customer and politely asked, "Are you alright?"

The female customer breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw his uniform.

Her legs buckled, and she leaned against the wall, the shield falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

After a while, the female customer slowly straightened up, her voice still trembling slightly: "It's alright, thank you so much."

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Zhang Yangqing asked, "What happened here?"

The female guest explained, “I was resting in my room when I don’t know what rules I triggered. A strange aura started spreading in the room, and it seemed like there were hands crawling under the bed. I was so scared that I left the room to look for my servants, but they were already fighting the strange creature you just fought.”

She paused, then continued in an even lower voice, "If you hadn't shown up, I probably would have died here."

The female customer looked at Zhang Yangqing with a pleading look in her eyes.

Her room was no longer safe. It was dark outside, and there were eerie creatures everywhere. Going out would almost certainly mean certain death.

The female guest now needs a place, a place where she can feel at ease.

Zhang Yangqing realized that saving her would definitely be helpful.

As a guest here, she must have something special about her, but she doesn't need it now, though who knows, she might need it in the future.

What he needs to do now is find a way to ensure the safety of this female guest.

Actually, he was just a monitor; normally, he should have contacted the housekeeper.

But the butler hasn't shown up yet, so he has to solve this problem.

This is no longer a professional job; it's about "gaining" the trust of customers.

As for which place is safe, the first place that comes to his mind is the library.

The library was the place with the highest authority for him; the books there all obeyed him, and he could move them around at will and summon them at any time.

But he quickly rejected the idea.

There is actually a way to break the deadlock in the library. Just turn off the surveillance cameras, like in the toilets. Then the library will become a place where eerie energy descends, polluting the books and causing his access to be reduced indefinitely.

Since the "mastermind" already knows this information, he must have countermeasures.

Moreover, based on the female customer's description, Zhang Yangqing had already formed a guess in his mind.

The strange occurrence of her room must have triggered some rule, but since she herself was unaware of it, it means someone had tampered with it.

In other words, from the bizarre sacrifice of the large head in the toilet to the strange descent triggered by the female customer, it was all a pre-arranged plan by the mastermind behind the scenes. (End of Chapter)
