I am the one running the game

Chapter 707: Fierce Level: Long-necked Ghost

"He ran away?" Lu Xingshi looked at the clothes thrown in the grass beside the road, puzzled: "It shouldn't be like this, how did he find out?"

"Could it be that he is a one in a million genius?"

Judging from the other party's actions, he did indeed sense the trace of curse power left on him by Lu Xingshi.

According to his judgment, even Qi Han could not detect this trace of curse power. However, now, Ling Zheng could easily sense the problem and deal with it.

"It's unlikely that he's playing dumb to eat the tiger. Just based on the strength of the bright red costume that was revealed by his fate, it's completely certain that he's a newbie."

"It doesn't look like he's a reborn strong man. His previous performance was very immature, but we can't rule out disguise."

"But if it's really a disguise, it would be too similar." Lu Xingshi hesitated and did not touch the clothing.

Don't worry about the cursed energy on it; it will naturally dissipate in about five hours.

It was originally a temporary trace, so Lu Xingshi naturally couldn't make it permanent.

"But even if the monk can escape, the temple cannot. We can just go to his house."

Lu Xingshi did not have much ill will towards Ling Zheng. At most, he just wanted to rob him, but he did not have the intention of killing him.

Even though he was lost, fortunately he was not completely unprepared. He did throw away his clothes, but during the time he was wearing the clothes, the cursed energy evaporated and surrounded his body, forming a faint trail.

If Lu Xingshi had arrived about half an hour later, this track would have disappeared.

As a temporary cursed power, it will gradually evaporate and decompose. It is currently in the decomposition stage. If we don't chase him, we will definitely not be able to find him next time.

Lu Xingshi moved at the first opportunity and was barely able to make out the traces.

Following the traces, Lu Xingshi arrived at an urban village. The other party had to rent a house outside because his house was demolished.

"The aura is too mixed and its trajectory is basically non-existent. It's a little hard to tell." Lu Xingshi stopped.

Originally, it is just like residual volatilization, and the traces will become less and less clear as time goes by.

Fortunately, we already have a rough idea of ​​the area, so we don't have to worry about not finding it.

He entered the rental building quietly and further locked down the place based on the mixed traces.

After some searching, we finally found the clue in room 401.

With his hearing ability, he could hear someone talking to himself in the room, but unfortunately there was a wall between them and the other person's voice was restrained, so Lu Xingshi really couldn't hear what they were saying.

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi was wondering who the other party was talking to?

He definitely wasn't talking to his deceased grandfather. Ling Zheng's grandfather had been buried a long time ago. It was possible that he was talking to the spirit tablet, but it was impossible for it to be a question-and-answer format.

Unless he is psychic, he is most likely talking to someone invisible.

Lu Xingshi did not disturb the other party, but retreated quietly.

Once he found the other party's temporary residence, the rest would be easy. It wouldn't be too late for Lu Xingshi to come when he went to Han Yuan's company to check the accounts tomorrow.

Why take action when there are people around?

Especially since the other party had some strange behavior, he felt that there might be something wrong.

Lu Xingshi thought about it and decided to find a place to stay first. Anyway, he would have nothing to do when he returned.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw a person standing in the corner. I couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman. He was standing under the stairs with half of his head sticking out, but I couldn't see his face clearly in the dark.

When he noticed Lu Xingshi's gaze, a scarlet light flashed across his face.

"Life ghost? How could it be here?" Lu Xingshi was a little puzzled.

However, he soon realized that the fortune teller and the fortune ghost would attract each other. It was normal for the fortune teller Ling Zheng to have a fortune ghost here.

But what is abnormal is that Lu Xingshi encountered it.

After all, Lu Xingshi is not a fortune teller, he doesn’t even have the so-called manifest destiny.

"Have you seen my child?"

An indistinguishable female voice was heard, and the ghost's neck stretched out little by little, just like a snake, winding towards Lu Xingshi.

Lu Xingshi shook his head: "I didn't see it."

He was telling the truth, who knows who the other person's child is.

"But I heard the voice of my child." The long-necked ghost came close to Lu Xingshi's face and said softly.

"You're too close, and you have bad breath." Lu Xingshi still couldn't see the other person's face clearly, or rather, he had seen it clearly, but it was blurry, with two red eyes.

He casually pushed away the other person's head that was trying to get closer to him.

Lu Xingshi's push seemed to have angered the other party. The blurry head instantly turned into a bloody mouth and started to bite towards Lu Xingshi's head.

However, there was still a big gap between the long-necked life ghost and Lu Xingshi. This life ghost was only at the fierce level at most, and it was indeed easy to deal with ordinary people, but it was not qualified to deal with Lu Xingshi.

With a snap, Lu Xingshi grabbed the long-necked ghost's neck, preventing it from eating Lu Xingshi's head.

"Well, actually I have some clues."

"You know 401 on the fourth floor, he is a fortune teller, I guess he may know about your child's situation." Lu Xingshi gradually increased the strength in his hands, causing the neck of the long-necked fortune ghost to be pinched into a thin strip.

At first glance, it looks like two sausages with a knot in the middle.

The long-necked ghost struggled continuously but was unable to break free, and looked extremely uncomfortable, with even its two red eyeballs bulging out.

As soon as Lu Xingshi let go, the long-necked ghost was freed and immediately retracted its neck, with fear flashing in its red eyes.

From this we can see that the fate ghost is also a self-aware being, and it understands that when it meets someone it cannot afford to offend, it should not rush forward, but should admit defeat.

Then he realized that Lu Xingshi was still observing him, so he retracted the half of his head that had been sticking out back under the stairs.

He didn't leave, but he hid.

"Being able to hide in the dark? This ability is indeed unique."

For humans, darkness is just an area without light, but for this long-necked ghost, it is like a special space where the long-necked ghost can live and move.

Other life ghosts should not have this ability, this long-necked life ghost has this unique ability.

Lu Xingshi came closer again out of curiosity. Dasheng's originally red eyes dimmed a lot, but when he saw Lu Xingshi coming over again, he showed obvious panic.

"Come, I have something good to give you." Lu Xingshi said, and a spell power condensed in his hand.

This curse power gradually condensed and turned into a small Galaxy Kun. Unlike the normal Galaxy Kun, this Galaxy Kun had a ferocious appearance and exuded an aura of hunger and greed.

The long-necked ghost sensed an aura that made him tremble with fear.

What Lu Xingshi condensed was not the Xinghe Kun, but a curse called the Starving Ghost, but it formed a hideous version of the Xinghe Kun.

The starving ghost curse jumped out of Lu Xingshi's hand and instantly sank into the body of the long-necked ghost.

The long-necked ghost actually wanted to hide, but failed. He could only watch as the starving ghost's curse entered his body.

At that moment, the scarlet light in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and a hunger began to spread, but the curse had just taken effect, so he was able to restrain it.

And with Lu Xingshi in front of him, the long-necked ghost's mind was so overwhelmed by fear that it could easily suppress its insignificant hunger.

"Okay, I'll go first." Lu Xingshi left with a smile and did not stay any longer.

He cast the starving ghost curse on the long-necked ghost, actually wanting to see what changes this curse would have on the ghost, a non-human creature.

He was naturally aware of the human condition. After all, he was barely half a human now. Only when the Great Sage's body developed to perfection could he be considered a living curse rather than a living person.

Lu Xingshi's figure gradually disappeared, which made the long-necked ghost breathe a sigh of relief. However, the next moment, a sudden feeling of hunger broke out.

It was like a terror that had been suppressed for a long time, instantly sweeping over the long-necked ghost's body.

From top to bottom, every part of the body is crying out for hunger and wanting to eat.

This uncontrollable hunger was impacting the long-necked ghost's sanity, causing some changes in his body shape.

...

"Strange, why do I feel a chill on my back? Could it be that someone is targeting me?" Ling Zheng's expression changed slightly.

"No, it's not someone who is targeting you, it's a fate ghost." The voice of the great fate master gave him advice: "Look outside the window, is there anything there?"

Ling Zheng turned his head and saw a pair of scarlet eyes looking at him as if they were looking at food.

This made his hair stand on end. You have to know that he was on the fourth floor. What could be so high?
"Get out of the way!" The Master of Destiny's shout instantly brought the dazed Ling Zheng back to his senses.

He saw a hideous and half-rotten head smashing the window glass. Its neck was extremely thin and long, and it opened its bloody mouth like a snake, intending to swallow him whole.

"This...is this the fate ghost you mentioned? It's a bit too scary." Ling Zheng narrowly avoided the attack.

He had heard from a great fortune teller that fortune tellers and fortune ghosts were entangled with each other, and once he became a fortune teller, he would inevitably encounter the terrifying fortune ghost.

What I never expected was that after such a long period of peace, I would encounter such a terrifying monster.

"There's something wrong with this fate ghost. It should be of a vicious level, but it can burst out with evil-level strength. Run away!" The great fate master was actually quite puzzled.

If it was a fierce level, Ling Zheng still had a chance of winning by relying on his fate and the red costume, but it was a vicious level, with Ling Zheng's strength, it would be tantamount to suicide, and he could only run away.

When Ling Zheng heard this, he didn't care too much and took advantage of the gap to avoid the opponent's attack and rushed out directly.

If I stay in the house, I will definitely be caught in a trap, so I might as well take a gamble.
