A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 107 The whole world is becoming evil
As expected, the guys in the circle of friends were very interested in the weird gun demonstration that Zhong Xie mentioned, and they all occupied the excellent view of the corridor outside the dungeon.

They used Zhong Xie's privileges to order a lot of drinks and food, which had basically been delivered by the waiters. Then they used beakers and conical flasks in the laboratory to hold the wine and conducted experimental observations and discussions in a very academic atmosphere outside the dungeon.

"Oh my belly is so big!"

"Koster is awesome! Six shots in three seconds. Oh, and he can also teleport. This is..."

"Eight shots in three seconds!"

"Hey, the mouse baby is out. It really is a special weird creature."

"It's just that my vitality is too weak. I feel like I'll die in a few minutes. Does anyone have a life-extending secret? I'll give it to you later and see if it can delay my death."

There were voices of admiration in the circle of friends. They were actually lucky enough to witness an extremely special way in which a strange story was born.

It is not a puppet controlled by mind, nor is it a clone produced by fission, but a real new life.

They could easily determine this, which made them feel even more peculiar.

Generally speaking, this ability is only possessed by root ghost stories or pseudo-root ghost stories. Ordinary ghost stories do not have the authority to "create".

Zhong Xie, who was wearing a white scientific research coat, quickly stepped forward and analyzed the terms inherited by these new mouse babies through contact.

Six of the mice inherited Kuster's [Paradox Coexistence], and the remaining two inherited Kuster's [Instant Start] and [Saint Mary Must Die] respectively.

I don't know if it's a matter of probability or an entry limitation, but all the baby mice born so far have failed to inherit the most critical [Wife's Loss] and [Large Body] from Kuster.

The former is the source entry of the rule system, and the latter is the source entry of the giant system.

The terms that the mouse babies inherit from their mother are varied, and all come from these young deans.

Due to the young deans' special way of practice, they are regarded as "individual ghost story traders" in a sense. The supernatural powers they practiced and consolidated in Jinchuan Hospital did not add too many other entries, so there are not many entries in their ghost stories, which can be regarded as "pure version of ghost stories."

Such experimental materials are even better. Generally, there will be no messy genes to pollute the gene pool set by Zhong Xie. In addition, humans are decoders of ghost stories, so they only need a simple touch to know what entries are on these mouse babies from the ghost story guns.

At present, the eight little mice have mastered [Water Control], [Word Escape], [Machine Affinity], [God Wandering], [Magic Bullet], [Light Dance], [Tracking] and [Trembling Fruit] respectively. The effects of these abilities can basically be judged by the names of the entries, giving the little mice a variety of abilities.

For a moment, the dungeon turned into a magic show, and Kuster called on his children to demonstrate their unique skills one by one.

For example, controlling the surge of water, peeling off characters to attack, showing great affinity with machinery, soul leaving the body, controlling light energy magic bullets, arranging lasers, etc., which would attract cheers from time to time.

"I didn't expect that this time Jiuyao wasn't exaggerating. Jiuge's ghost story gun is actually that awesome."

"It seems that the other achievements Jiuyao mentioned are all true. Jiuge may not look very good in ghost stories, but he is actually a master who is well hidden. No wonder he was able to kill him..."

"Shh, stop talking. No one here likes the original Ninth Sister Xiaoshui, but it may not be the same outside. Don't cause trouble for Ninth Brother."

Experimenter Zhong Xie recorded these abilities one by one. He planned to do some experiments in time to preserve the corresponding ghost story genes.

Current scientific research is progressing rapidly. These experimental materials are all pure, and the testing of experimental results is fast and accurate. There is simply no more comfortable experimental project in the world than this.

Friends had different reactions to the mouse babies’ talent show, but the feedback was basically positive, and they thought these mouse babies with different appearances were very interesting.

And just as Zhong Xie thought, it didn't take long before someone was eager to try it out and experience the power of the ghost gun for themselves.

After Zhong Xie's explanation, the friends in the circle of friends were able to understand that the effect of this ghost gun was actually just to combine the ghost characteristics of the shooter and the person who was shot, to create a ghost creature that could survive for five minutes.

It is completely different from normal childbirth, it is just a novel experience at most.

Get rid of the father and keep the child, have a baby painlessly, and don’t have to worry about the child’s growth. You can see the child’s life in just five minutes...

For those people in the circle of friends who are looking for fun, Jiu Ge’s Ghost Talk Gun is a must-try game, and some people have even started betting against each other.

For example, my child can definitely kill your child within a minute. Another example is that my child can kill you in just three moves.

I issue black entry exchange coupons and I issue ghost story capsules.

Just bet!
This kind of private gambling game quickly became popular in the circle of friends. Looking at these men, women, young and old with stars in their eyes, Zhong Xie was naturally helpless.

As expected, both ghost stories and humans are keen on cricket fighting.

Anyway, with Kuster as the "father" to control the variables, the [Paradox Coexistence] carried by his offspring will not affect the actual combat effectiveness of the mouse baby. This is a fair competitive game, and it all depends on how powerful the item inherited from the mother is.

If the friends in the circle are normal ghost story users, the mother cannot inherit the entry, but none of the friends who come to the venue are normal humans. After all, they all appear in the form of "face behind the head".

Zhong Xie also told them in advance that it was okay to use Kuster to fight crickets, but this would consume Kuster's energy, so...

You can choose to use this as a favor to offset their help, or you can use something valuable to exchange for Kuster's bullets.

Therefore, in addition to being the first breeder under the Zhong’s Animal Husbandry Company, Kuster also needs to sell himself to help Zhong Xie repay his favor.

Well, something is wrong with the plot. Fortunately, Kuster is not some seductive rat girl, otherwise Zhong Xie really wouldn’t be able to look directly at this guy.

However, Kuster was not such a casual person. He agreed to this job, but also asked Zhong Xie for the custody of some of his own giant entries.

He needed to test the results of his giant system research over the past three years on himself.

Zhong Xie readily agreed. After all, he was not an unreasonable trainer.

Under such high-intensity use, the first thing that couldn't hold on was the ghost gun. After being used continuously for thirty times, it finally stopped working due to overheating of the barrel.

Fortunately, there is a miracle doctor in the circle of friends, who uses ancient acupuncture to help Guidan Gun regain his spirits and become majestic again.

The scientific research work and the entertainment project of cricket fighting are carried out in an orderly manner. Zhong Xie also obtains Sister Shui's ghost story factor in the gene retention experiment.

The friends present are essentially the products of Sister A Shui's ghost stories. They have conquered the ghost stories and become one with them, but the mark of Sister A Shui on their bodies will never disappear.

This characteristic did not appear in the form of an "entry", but was discovered by Zhong Xie during experimental observation.

The mouse babies whose parents contain the A Shui Jie ghost story gene have a natural affinity with these people in their circle of friends, and they seem to have an extremely special ability.

When their lives are threatened, they will frantically look for "knives", "chisels", "awls" or something like that around them to forcibly distort their faces.

Then the faces of their ancestors will appear on this rat face.

Throwback!

Invite the gods! The ancestor is possessed!
No matter what name they are called, this is the effect these mouse babies demonstrate, using themselves as bargaining chips to draw out the consciousness of "friends".

The abilities of these mouse babies are often inherited from their friends, and these abilities will be slightly enhanced when they pray to the gods.

The most important thing is that the corresponding ghost story ability will be synchronized with the proficiency of the founder and reach the pinnacle.

The same ability, the same level, can produce completely different effects when used by different people, especially some strange abilities that require delicate operations.

At this point, everyone in the circle of friends should not be underestimated.

Limited by Sister Shui's ability to tell strange stories, they can often only conquer one strange story and integrate it into themselves, so they can often achieve extremely high attainments in this carefully selected strange story.

However, the mouse kids who are possessed by spirits can temporarily synchronize their attainments in ghost stories, which will inevitably greatly enhance their own combat effectiveness.

Secondly, there is a more secretive feature. Many people in the circle of friends have received inquiries from Sister Shui. It seems that Sister Shui has sensed many new friends and gathered in the same place.

Zhong Xie felt that with the ghost gun, Sister Shui would not be lonely anymore.

Rat friends can have as many as they want.

Sister Shui didn't say much about this matter. She just asked Zhong Xie to find her after returning to Haicheng and just send a message on the business card.

The revelry in the box continued until late at night. Zhong Xie only remembered the main purpose of his visit to the venue after being reminded by Shen Junyi.

"Lin Youlan and Xia Shuyue will be coming in soon. How do you plan to explain the progress of the mission?" Shen Junyi took off his white leather gloves and casually put them on the test tube rack in the laboratory.

As a normal person, he felt at first that Zhong Xie's methods towards these young deans were somewhat cruel.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, and certainly not treated like a sow, ready here at all times.

However, Zhong Xie only showed him a few temporary research results, and Shen Junyi followed Zhong Xie unswervingly.

Version 1.3 of Che Hao Armor has introduced the palm light energy cannon. The regenerative power from Che Hao and the [Light Dance] attribute from the young dean have reached a strange balance under Kuster's [Paradox Coexistence].

The effect is that Che Hao Armor version 1.3 is already very similar in capabilities to Iron Man Armor, with limited power from the palm cannon but very bright, like Tai Cheng's high beams.

As for the "similar appearance", Zhong Xie could only say that he had absolutely no intention of working hard in this regard. Isn't Che Hao's feminized human armor much more handsome than Iron Man?
The current standard version of the Mouse Baby expands its own entries to "3", namely Che Hao's [Regeneration Power], Kuster's [Paradox Coexistence] and another special ability entry possessed by the Young Dean.

Zhong Xie has tried to cancel Che Hao's [Regeneration Power] and let Shuwa have two special abilities.

The lifespan of this kind of mouse baby is only five minutes. This kind of mouse baby cannot transform into Che Hao Armor and can only fight as a servant.

After actual practice, you will find that the mouse baby with two special abilities is not very efficient in combat.

The Rat Baby's own ghost talk power is limited and cannot support the consumption of two abilities. It is better to bring Che Hao's [Regeneration Power]. After using up a tube of blue, he will die and be resurrected to a refreshed state.

In short, Che Hao's armor is temporarily fixed at "3" entries. Zhong Xie is trying to let Shuwa have 4 entries, but the experiment has come to a standstill.

Maybe it's because the level of the ghost gun itself is not enough, or it may be because it has not yet been upgraded to the source item [glue]. The current limit of Shuwa is 3 items.

I guess it needs to be upgraded to an adult ghost story gun.

Shen Junyi is not a fool. He can see what a huge contribution Zhong Xie's work is to mankind, so he devotes himself to scientific research with an even more fanatical attitude than Zhong Xie.

This mouse baby gave him the feeling that future battlefields would eventually be ruled by "robots", and a large number of routine tasks, such as filling trenches, would not require the ghost story masters to risk their lives.

This is undoubtedly a qualitative leap for the overall strength of mankind.

There are too many ghost stories that cause sacrifices when they shouldn't be. With time, they will surely be able to confront the top ghost stories head-on, instead of being destroyed by the root ghost stories like cannon fodder, and only be able to convey a small amount of key information.

For example, his sister.

Shen Junyi even wanted to use his own background to set up a scientific research institute for Zhong Xie to specifically study the future combat prospects of "Rat Baby", but was unfortunately rejected by Zhong Xie.

Zhong Xie didn't want to be locked up in another "institute". Besides, he believed that his adventures outside would definitely improve the quality of Mouse Baby more than keeping him in the research institute.

You see, without this trip to the venue, how could we have met "Che Hao", the noble man who was hit by the ghost story gun?
Without Che Hao, there would be no way for Ghost Talk Gun to build an industrial foundation and accumulate the first bucket of essence, right?

"As for the venue, I think it is necessary to have it." Zhong Xie looked at the laboratory and dungeon in the box and gave his own judgment seriously, "As a transit station for communication between various regions, this venue can help the Eastern Theater and other theaters to communicate with each other, right?"

Shen Junyi frowned slightly: "What you mean is..."

"Don't think about solving the problem, let's solve the person who raised the problem first." Zhong Xie's eyebrows danced, and then he saw Shen Junyi's face changed drastically, so he added, "I'm not asking you to solve the problem above."

Shen Junyi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was not worried that Zhong Xie would say such outrageous words, but he was worried that Zhong Xie would really do it...

Zhong Xie continued, "These people in Haicheng can enter the stadium because of the flyers. Wouldn't it be a good thing to collect these flyers and hand them over to the military, and let the military ghost story masters and some rookies enter the stadium for training regularly? Isn't there a battle arena upstairs for ghost story masters? It would be very helpful to help them accumulate experience, right?"

Shen Junyi fell into deep thought and did not make a decision until the agreed time arrived.

He went to the outside field to greet Lin Youlan and Xia Shuyue who were entering the venue, and found the two people who were nervously observing the situation outside the field.

"Why are you the only one here? Where is Zhong Xie?" Lin Youlan asked immediately when she saw that only Shen Junyi was here.

"He has something to do upstairs, and we are doing something very meaningful." Shen Junyi immediately showed a sincere smile when he mentioned scientific research, which stunned Xia Shuyue for a moment.

Infected by Shen Junyi, a bright smile also appeared on her face.

But she soon stopped laughing.

Because Xia Shuyue saw the twelve angry men tied up and naked in the dungeon, and hundreds of baby mice in the laboratory.

Looking at Shen Junyi's smile again, she felt a little creepy for some reason.

I always feel that this childhood sweetheart has changed a little since returning from Wangcheng. The last time he did so, he became feminine.

This time it's a perversion.

"You guys made these?"

Only Lin Youlan, who had a deadpan face originally, immediately walked to Zhong Xie excitedly when she saw such a wonderful scene, wanting to see what interesting weird research Zhong Xie had come up with.

　Happy New Year everyone. I wrote this quickly after coming back from work and partying in the evening, and finally finished it before 2025!
