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

Chapter 128 Wait, what does it mean...the highway is standing up?
In the ghost story information, the A and B options facing Zhong Xie are recruitment and cleaning. The former does not guarantee the personal choice of the Faceless Man after the camp conversion, while the latter will provide some camp points.

Judging from the two options, this game is undoubtedly encouraging Zhong Xie to choose option B and use "cleaning" as a means to deal with members of other camps as much as possible.

It was for this reason that Zhong Xie did not choose to clean up at the first moment, and temporarily saved the Faceless Man's life, so that there was still room for turning around and he would not regret it.

However, when he casually asked Lin Youlan, Zhong Xie got an unexpected answer.

He is not in the same camp as the people present.

Even the options in these people's minds were different from his. Lin Youlan had already made his choice and got faction points, but the Faceless Man in front of him did not die.

It wasn't a cleanup, but they still got faction points.

The worst case scenario is that this group of people are actually Faceless Men, and they are in the same camp as the honest man tied to the ground.

However, according to this logic, if Lin Youlan is a Faceless Man, he will find himself exposed after saying "I have chosen". The current situation will not be so harmonious, and the correct solution is to kill him directly.

It won’t always be...

Is it true that Zhong Xie is alone in his own camp?

This is why?

He is independent of the Faceless Men, humans, and pigs at the same time?

You can't just exclude him from the human camp just because he's a psycho rat, right?
Zhong Xie expressed some dissatisfaction and wanted to use materialism to attack the judgment of this strange incident.

Backstage of the strange story, Shushu, I don’t like you anymore.

But on second thought, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and the image that suddenly appeared in the flash was the wild boar that the captain had mentioned before.

There is also a Zhongxie among the wild boars.

Could it be that there is a "Zhong Xie" camp in this strange incident?
"What was your option just now?" Zhong Xie casually glanced at the layout of the room. His current position was not favorable to him. If these people suddenly attacked at the same time, he might not be able to escape so easily.

However, Zhong Xie felt that this possibility was not high, because if Lin Youlan was a Faceless Man, then the journey they had just taken in the rainstorm was the most suitable time to take action.

After all, the assistance of these three classmates could not create an opportunity for her to launch a sneak attack.

"We can either accept him into our camp, or keep his life and take him with us to find the person whose identity he stole. Once we find them, we can swap them back." Lin Youlan briefly summarized, "Option B can gain points for our camp, but his presence may attract other Faceless Men to attack us. That's the risk."

After saying that, she shrugged and said, "But according to Lao Qin's idea, it is definitely better to try to help the unlucky guy whose identity was stolen to start a new life. This risk is nothing, but we need to be extra careful next time."

At this point, Lin Youlan also realized that the strange information Zhong Xie had received was different, so she asked back, "Isn't that the case with you?"

Zhong Xie shook his head: "I still have an option to clean up. You want me to kill him directly, but forget it. It's not bad to use him as bait to attract some faceless people."

Having said that, Zhong Xie realized the difference between himself and the ordinary human camp.

He also has an additional option of "direct cleanup".

Is it because the Ghost Story feels that humans are not on the same side as him, so there is no need for him to help humans regain their identities from the Faceless Men?

Or did the strange story simply determine that Zhong Xie was a "hunter", so there must be an additional "cleanup" task in the options?
It's like a character like the "Faceless Scavenger", carrying out the "Faceless Clearing Plan" on this rainy day. It's quite cool to think about it.

Behind the scenes of the strange story, Shushu, I like you again.

Then Zhong Xie looked at the three people who were unconsciously in a conservative defensive posture and said directly: "Follow me closely, and stay away from corners and rooms where people may be hiding. Be careful that there may be faceless men inside who may attack you and steal your identities."

Thinking of this, Zhong Xie still had a headache, because the triggering conditions for the Faceless Man to steal his identity were too simple. Even he found it difficult to guard against it, let alone the few young ghost story masters around him.

We can only try to reduce the possibility of dispersion, because the Faceless Men will change directly after replacing humans, and a Faceless version of the original owner will be left in the same place.

After seeing the whole thing of splitting people in front of everyone, even a fool would know that the human in front of him was the Faceless Man, and all he needed to do was subdue him.

Anyway, when the number of people is small, Zhong Xie is confident that he can control the situation. As long as he is not ambushed by the Faceless Man, he is confident that he can take down anyone who is ambushed in a short time.

Including Lin Youlan.

Because Lin Youlan's skull crusher isn't that useful, if the Faceless One uses it...

It's really not working.

What's more, the Faceless Man can only see the source entry of the Skull Crusher, which is equivalent to only knowing that the Skull Crusher can adjust the mass, and nothing else.

Lin Youlan had originally developed gameplay such as wire bondage with the help of Zhong Xie. It would obviously not work if the Faceless Man were to use this kind of technically demanding weird story.

For Faceless Ones who have no skills, it is enough to use brainless numerical monsters like Kuster.

Zhong Xie thought of Kuster's appearance and couldn't help but start to wonder.

He seemed to have trained Kuster too strong, and it would be difficult to deal with Kuster in the current situation.

In the rainstorm environment, the level of ghost power in the entire ghost story event is very high. It takes a very short time for Kuster to release his complete form. It is basically equivalent to a level 50 high-attack, high-defense, and high-burst ghost story creature, and each move is aoe damage.

No, isn’t Mr. Ku sinister?
It was not until he was standing on the opposite side of Kuster, with only this ordinary ghost story of less than level 20 in his hand, that Zhong Xie realized that Kuster's strength had quietly increased to an extremely terrifying number.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that he did not take Kuster to find a second marriage partner in time, so Ku Lao was unable to bring into play the effect of the rule system [Wife's Loss].

Hehe, but I can beat Kuster legally now, I'm happy.

Thinking of this, a happy and satisfied smile appeared on Zhong Xie's face again.

Next, the five of them quickly searched the staff dormitory building, trying to find the "neutral ghost story" that Zhong Xie had guessed might exist.

Among all the people present, only Lin Youlan has disposable camp points. Other people in the same camp can see the camp points, but cannot use the camp points obtained by Lin Youlan.

Lin Youlan walked around the third floor and immediately noticed the neutral ghost story that could trigger camp division, and informed Zhong Xie and others of the ghost story information she had detected.

In a room in the middle of the corridor on the third floor, there is an old dusty computer with a white square screen and body. The case is placed on the table, giving it a heavy feel overall.

This computer has been turned into a weird story, and can copy "space" on the computer.

Lin Youlan tried to demonstrate to Zhong Xie, not an actual demonstration, but just showing what the computer could do. Similar to what Zhong Xie had guessed before, the computer could spatially copy and overwrite the first room on the third floor, but the power seemed to be limited to this.

Looking at the flickering snowflake patterns on the blue screen, Zhong Xie felt that this computer was a bit strange because it did not display enough power.

It is definitely not a "copy" of the original ghost story, but more like an imitator born out of the ghost story, so its capabilities are limited.

Or maybe it's because this computer is a pirated copy, and this dormitory building is a fake dormitory building, a replica of the original dormitory building.

The computer horror stories were also copied, but they were not the original works.

As for the body...

The main body seemed to be covered by the space created by its own ability and was completely hidden.

This was probably what the pig snake did on purpose. He didn't want others to discover the use of this weird story, because he himself knew that this computer was very powerful and could create hope of a comeback out of thin air.

"Do you need to copy something?" Lin Youlan asked, seeing Zhong Xie staring at the computer for a long time, "But I don't have enough points in my faction, so I may not be able to copy anything important."

Zhong Xie shook his head: "Not for now, remember there is a neutral ghost story here that you can use, we will talk about it later, let's go to Shangcun first."

At this time, Zhong Xie already understood the situation of the three new members who had joined the team.

Captain, woman, unlucky guy.

Level 17, level 15, level 14.

Giant system, energy system, blood system.

There is nothing special about his abilities, and he is at an average level among students of the same period.

The only thing that Zhong Xie found somewhat interesting was the strange story of that unlucky guy named [Cao Ying].

It is an ugly, two-headed monster baby with messy weeds on its head. It looks a bit like the Fire Cloud Evil God.

The core ability is a source item called [Overbearing], which can intimidate the target and make it give up the intention of attacking.

With this kind of ability, normally he wouldn't be the unlucky one, at least the unlucky ones should be the people around him. But it was this kind of thinking that made this guy approach the motionless fat pig in a suicidal way.

The wild boars before would be eaten by the special effect of [Ling Ren], so the unlucky guy didn't expect that the fat pigs couldn't be considered living creatures at all, and [Ling Ren] didn't work at all, which led to him being almost eaten by the fat pig.

Unlike the noisy unlucky guy, his strange grass baby always looks peaceful and calm, as if it has seen birth, old age, sickness and death, and has seen through evil spirits and monsters. Nothing can arouse its interest, and it only wants to squat on its master's head and act as an extremely special cuckold.

Anyway, Zhong Xie's repeated teasing only resulted in Cao Ying's disdainful glance and a light-hearted "Wajira".

Zhong Xie thought about this sentence for a long time before he realized where he had heard it before. He once captured a paper man in the rat monster world, and that thing liked to say this sentence.

Zhong Xie didn't understand what this sentence meant. From the paper man's point of view, it seemed like an insult, but from Cao Ying's calm look, it didn't seem to be the case.

The captain and the unlucky guy had no objection to Zhong Xie's decision. After seeing Zhong Xie capture a faceless man from their team, they were extremely convinced of his abilities.

However, the girl codenamed "Magic Xiaoyuan" had a different opinion.

"Shall we go back to the upper village? We finally managed to escape from those wild boars. In this situation, it would be better for us to guard this dormitory building. There is still half an hour before the 'Qingzhe' and the circle will shrink in an hour. It's okay to collect some information here first."

Xiao Yuan looked at her two teammates, as if she wanted them to speak for her. It was obvious that she didn't want to go into the rainstorm again.

The environment in the rainstorm was full of dangers. It was as uncomfortable as being soaked in water, not to mention having to face those ferocious wild boars...

At Xiao Yuan's glance, the captain and the unlucky guy seemed to be interested, but neither of them spoke, because they knew that the team now did not make decisions based on numbers.

"You don't want to go back and save your teammates? Are you going to hide in the dormitory building with this guy as a target?"

Zhong Xie glanced at the girl and stopped her from talking with just one sentence.

He had no interest in debating with a guy who liked a delicate girl at first sight.

"Well, we need to go back to the highway and check. Zhang Kai (the honest man) might still be in the car. If we take this guy with us, we might be able to get Zhang Kai back." After Zhong Xie's reminder, the captain immediately understood and firmly supported Zhong Xie's decision.

Without any further ado, the few of them went to the second floor first. Zhong Xie and Lin Youlan went to lure away the fat pigs surrounding the dormitory building, then came back with the help of their flying ability, and took the three of them to quickly leave the dormitory building and return to the highway.

Since there are no living creatures on the highway, there are not many fat pigs, and those fat pigs are concentrated in the mountains and fields.

Several people wearing raincoats walked forward on the highway. Shangcun was not far away and could be reached in about half an hour on foot. It was an abandoned village near the toll station.

The captain on the road was also surprised to find that the vehicle that was damaged in the rainstorm was gone. It seemed that someone had repaired the car and drove it away, but did not drive towards the toll station because they did not see any other vehicles along the way.

The few people in the rain moved quickly and silently. As ghost story tellers, their physical fitness was higher than that of ordinary people, but they still felt physically and mentally exhausted and weak all over in this harsh environment. After all, not everyone was as healthy as Zhong Xie.

However, Zhong Xie does not have time to consider the physical problems of his teammates now, because the countdown to "Qingzhe" has ended.

As Zhong Xie expected, the first wave of resurrected ghost stories should come from the mountains and fields, and they should be relatively safe on the highway.

However, this is not the case.

In the heavy rain, the highway ahead stood up.

The shadows are hazy, covering the sky and the sun.

From a farther place, there was a sharp and loud whistle sound coming from afar, accompanied by electronic fragmented sounds like a radio, stumbling and sounding particularly eerie in the rain.

"Extremely heavy rain warning... warning..."

"Warning... Haicheng has issued a red rainstorm warning from today. All residents are requested to... stay at home... stay at home and wait for death."

Two infrared rays penetrated the rain curtain and swept back and forth on the road in front of Zhong Xie and others, as if inspecting something.

Zhong Xie and his companions hid behind the railings, their heartbeats unconsciously quickening.

Let me be honest, why does “Qingzhe” scare the highway, buddy?
