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

Chapter 130 Disease as a Mystery, Resurrection
Unlike Zhong Xie who had figured out a solution to the problem, the faceless man Zhang Kai was still in an extremely confused state. He couldn't help but ask Zhong Xie: "Sister, do you think I can change back? You know my identity, but I don't want to live my whole life with this face."

"That guy has been caught. If you want, you can change back now." Zhong Xie glanced at this guy and said something that was enough to reassure him, and then added, "Also, I'm Zhong Xie, not your sister. I killed the faceless man who possessed this face, so I temporarily became like this."

Zhang Kai's nonexistent eyes immediately lit up: "Okay brother, what you just said is true? Then let's go back now, or pick them up. The food in this farmhouse is very rich, enough for us to survive for three to five months."

"No, there's no point in holding on. Those Faceless Men will come sooner or later. You can't resist them with your current strength. Once we lose the battle for the camp, we will definitely be replaced." Zhong Xie shook his head. He reached out and patted Zhang Kai's shoulder, feeling the steel-like muscles on his shoulder. "We need to win, not just survive. Only by winning the ghost story incident can we survive."

Zhang Kai looked at Zhong Xie from head to toe. He could tell from Zhong Xie's figure that he was a man, and he looked similar to the Zhong Xie he saw in daily life.

According to his understanding of the Faceless Man, when faced with Zhong Xie and Jiang Shuran, the Faceless Man would definitely choose the former without hesitation.

Zhong Xie's body and ghost stories are much stronger than those of his teammate Jiang Shuran, so there is definitely no need for these guys to use Zhong Xie's body plus Jiang Shuran's head, and they should still use Jiang Shuran's ghost stories.

In comparison, Zhong Xie’s current statement is more credible and logical.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Then what should we do?" Zhang Kai didn't think much about it and immediately leaned towards Zhong Xie's side in all aspects.

Ghost story masters like them, who had only been trained for half a month, didn't have much experience to begin with. Suddenly, they encountered such an abnormally difficult ghost story incident. They wanted to give up thinking and just listen to the boss.

Zhong Xie's strong image has long been well-known among his peers. At this time, I believe Zhong Xie is the best choice.

However, Zhong Xie had just patted Zhang Kai's shoulder. Based on his understanding of the human body, he immediately felt that the hardness of Zhang Kai's muscles seemed too exaggerated, so he pinched him again and asked curiously, "Do you usually exercise?"

"Yes, I usually exercise, but I'm definitely not as good as you." Zhang Kai nodded. He thought for a moment and added, "But I feel that after being in the rain, my body is obviously stronger. The rain made me feel very comfortable. But I felt that it might be a trick, so I didn't stay in the rain for too long."

"The body becomes stronger?" Zhong Xie was stunned, and then immediately thought of the changes in the rain after the ghost story incident was triggered.

Full of weird talk!
The strange creatures will automatically absorb the excess strange power in the rain and will upgrade after a period of time. Zhang Kai, who has transformed into a faceless man, can also do it?
Could it be that after his identity was taken away, Zhang Kai turned into a strange creature?

For a moment, Zhong Xie felt extremely envious.

His own physical fitness has indeed reached the peak of human beings, so there will be no further improvement. If he wants to continue to become stronger through physical training, there is only one way -

I am no longer human!
However, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was obtained so easily by these people. Zhong Xie was suddenly a little envious and even wanted to find a faceless man to snatch his identity again.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't bear to give up Jiang Shuran's vomiting skill. He felt that this skill had not really been used in this game, so he was naturally reluctant to give it up.

However, from Zhong Xie's perspective, the physical fitness of faceless men like Zhang Kai has improved, so it is still a bit difficult to catch up with him.

How can one day of getting wet in the rain compare to his three years of being a rat?

"That's good. Don't be a human for now." Zhong Xie looked at Zhang Kai and said seriously, "If you change back now, you will only get a sick and empty body. You can't do anything. It's better to be a faceless man."

"What?" Zhang Kai was stunned at first. He subconsciously thought that Zhong Xie was joking, but when he saw that Zhong Xie was speaking very seriously and did not have the usual energy of joking around like he did in class, he began to think.

"The human body is affected by various factors such as disease, hunger, thirst, etc. In this strange incident, it is equivalent to suffering negative effects every moment." Zhong Xie explained briefly, "Do you think that in this situation, the body you control is stronger, or the original human body that was plagued by the disease is stronger?"

"What you said... makes a lot of sense." Zhang Kai tried to think about it and felt that Zhong Xie hit the nail on the head. He also got sick after receiving the ghost stories, such as a bad cold or something.

When you have a fever, your brain cannot think normally, and you will feel powerless to use ghost stories.

It works, but controlling it with ease is almost impossible.

Some of the more intelligent monsters were still okay, as they could fight autonomously with a general command, but some of the monsters were almost only based on instinct...

They will likely remain where they are.

Especially for some parasitic ghost stories, the most desired destination for this kind of ghost stories is to stay in one place quietly, with few thoughts of migration and invasion. Just like earthbound spirits, if you don't break into the territory they recognize, you will basically not be attacked.

There are also some energy-related ghost stories. Most of these ghost stories are timid in nature and have almost no intention of actively attacking. If no one commands them, they will most likely become invisible and hide in the energy space, not listening, not thinking, and not knowing.

The ghost story masters who came to the ghost story incident this time basically did not have the ability to subdue the ghost stories for a particularly long time. It was mostly nonsense to say that there was any emotion between them. If they were sick, they would have almost no control over the ghost stories.

In this case, the Faceless Man and the Tales Master exchanged identities...

Isn't this a real weakening?
"Great." Zhang Kai couldn't help but give Zhong Xie a thumbs up. He now understood the gap between himself and a true genius.

Even if we leave aside the weird stories (Zhong Xie didn't use his own weird stories at this time), the difference in thinking is extremely huge.

Zhong Xie shrugged and said, "In that case, let's burn all the food in the farmhouse. We don't need so much food to feed the Faceless Ones."

"Burn them all...?" Zhang Kai was frightened by Zhong Xie's decisiveness. This guy dared to burn his boats like this right after making a plan?

What if the plan fails?
What if the Faceless Men also thought of this and chose not to replace him?
just in case……

"Leave a part, seal it and bury it in the ground. It will be enough for two or three days of food." After Zhong Xie finished speaking, he immediately started to get busy in the farm house, and at the same time began to think about the outline of the whole plan.

First of all, this plan must be spread so that all human members are aware of it, and it is best to gather together.

The second thing is to give these people a debuff effect. The simplest and most effective way is to run in the rain and eat some dirty things, focusing on the idea that illness comes from the mouth.

Ordinary ghost stories make the body better than normal people, but I feel it can't withstand such a construction.

At this stage, if we attract the Faceless Men to exchange bodies, we can basically achieve the effect that Zhong Xie intended to achieve.

The Faceless camp is full of vitality, while the Human camp is plagued by diseases. How can they lose?
The current difficulty is how to spread the news. According to the information Zhong Xie has obtained so far, the scope of the entire ghost story incident is very large. Zhong Xie estimates that at least forty or fifty ghost story masters of the same period are involved.

It is not easy to contact each other in such a large area. In addition, after gathering together, we may have to eliminate the unlucky ones whose identities have been replaced among this group of people...

Zhong Xie tried to think about the possibility of implementing the plan, and immediately felt that it was very troublesome.

If you spread the word...

I seem to have heard a radio head on the highway before, I wonder if I can use it. It's a pity that there is no world chat channel for passing messages, otherwise it would be much easier.

While processing the food, Zhong Xie was thinking of a plan and at the same time thinking of a way to capture all those faceless men in one fell swoop.

Soon, he poured the cooking oil evenly into the granary, hid some rice and flour in the back mountain of the farm house, and carried some food on his back.

The two men set the farm house on fire, threw whatever items they couldn't take away into the fish pond and destroyed them, and used them to feed the fish. They then poured pesticides into the water exchange area of the fish pond, completely clearing out almost all edible items.

“Brother Xie, we’ve gone too far. What if we fail? And if those faceless men really starve to death after they transform into humans, then we won’t be able to change them back.”

Looking at the farmhouse with flames shooting up into the sky, Zhang Kai was still a little nervous. He had never done such an impulsive thing before.

Zhong Xie waved his hand and said, "If you can't change it back, then you can't change it back. Don't you think this body is much stronger than a human body? To do things that humans can't do, as a ghost story, you have to be prepared to become a monster!"

“???” Zhang Kai began to wonder in his heart as he listened to Zhong Xie’s seemingly irresponsible words.

No matter what others think, he still wants to be a human being, right?
Showing himself in this faceless appearance, Zhang Kai always felt that his career as a ghost story teller was about to end just as it had begun.

“Don’t worry. It might be a good thing that the Faceless One’s body that took over your identity died. Then I can customize a face for each of you. Believe me, your strange stories are still in your sea of consciousness. You are just logging in from a different place now. Kill those who hacked your account, and the account will naturally return to you.” Zhong Xie waved his hand, looking unconcerned. “I promise that you will be the same as before, but your physical fitness will be stronger.”

It's pretty much the same, except that next time when I kiss my wife I might end up filling her mouth with maggots.

Zhong Xie imagined that scene and thought it should be nothing for a normal person. After all, as the wife of a ghost story master, her mental strength should be particularly strong. Not everyone can enjoy the treatment of eating one snack at a time.

"Okay." Zhang Kai was skeptical, but he was able to see the situation clearly.

Compared with the possible inconvenience in the future, he would rather survive this strange incident.

Getting out alive is more important than anything else.

He drove down the highway during the "Qingzhe" period, and naturally felt the strange atmosphere brought by the several huge monsters on the highway.

As a guy who can't even use a dozen-level ghost stories, he should be content just to be alive. Whether he lives well or not is something he should consider later.

Zhong Xie walked very quickly, because there were only about five minutes left before the first shrinking circle. Zhang Kai was able to keep up with him at such a speed in the rain, probably because the heavy rain was constantly providing him with energy.

The two found their way back to the villa in a few minutes. Zhong Xie took a look at the alarm device he had set up before leaving. Seeing that no one had triggered it, he nodded with satisfaction, jumped up on the spot, and flew in over the wall.

Zhang Kai threw the rice and flour in first, then easily climbed over the wall and entered the villa.

Walking into the villa, Zhong Xie looked at the four patients wrapped in blankets, then looked at Lin Youlan who also looked a little weak, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? You all look sick. Is it getting worse?"

"Yeah, I feel a little uncomfortable too." Lin Youlan coughed twice and diagnosed herself, "Maybe I was out in the rainstorm for too long and my body has been hypothermic for a long time. I need to rest for a while."

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do for now." Zhong Xie put the rice and flour aside. The faceless man Zhang Kai behind him also walked in. As soon as he came in, he attracted the attention of several people.

"you……"

"Faceless?!"

"No, are you Zhang Kai?"

"You're not dead?"

The other three people in the team determined Zhang Kai's identity. Although they were very uncomfortable now, they still showed a kind of joy. The remaining Faceless Zhang Kai seemed very angry and looked at the returning Zhang Kai with gritted teeth.

It seemed that he also understood that when Zhong Xie found the real Zhang Kai, his death would be imminent. Now he could only curse his fellow Faceless Men in his heart for being too slow in rescuing people, and he had no idea what those guys were doing.

And Zhang Kai did as Zhong Xie said, and was not in a hurry to replace his body.

Just by looking at him, you can understand why Zhong Xie said that.

He didn't want to experience that seriously ill look again. Now that someone is helping him bear the pain of illness, Zhang Kai must be very happy.

He has become somewhat addicted to his current body. Who could dislike a body that hardly ever gets tired, hungry, or uncomfortable?
Zhang Kai totally couldn't understand what the faceless man who stole his body was thinking.

Birth, aging, sickness and death (death will eventually happen) - who is so eager to endure these sufferings of life?

The faceless man "Zhang Kai" looked at the complacent real Zhang Kai, and was instantly filled with anger. After a few dry coughs, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, and leaned against the wall, almost fainting.

His body heaved rapidly, as if he was terminally ill.

"Isn't he a ghost story master? How can he be so fragile?" Zhong Xie moved closer to take a look with some curiosity. He sniffed the guy's breath and truly felt his weakness. Then he turned around to look at the girls and the captain of the team, including Lin Youlan, who all looked like they were in poor condition.

At this point, Zhong Xie could sense that something was wrong, and Xiao Yuan, a girl in Zhang Kai's team, raised her hand with all her strength, looked at Zhong Xie and said, "I had a vague feeling when we were walking in the rain that the scope of the revival of ghost stories might be larger than we thought."

"What do you mean?" Zhong Xie asked subconsciously, but a strange feeling came over him, making him vaguely understand what had happened.

"Cough cough."

Zhong Xie couldn't help but cough and spit out a mouthful of saliva.

In the center of the saliva, a hint of bright red blood suddenly appeared.

Diseases contracted during heavy rains...

It has been revived as a ghost story.
