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

Chapter 35: The Spark of Wangcheng

Looking at the city.

A place of right and wrong.

Zhong Xie's memory of Black Goat Manor (Wangcheng) is not very deep.

Because in his daily life he basically stayed at Miss Black Goat's house, thinking about whether he could see her more all day long, and he would not go out for a walk unless necessary.

However, this is only relative to the past three years. To be specific, his footprints can be found in every block near Miss Black Goat's home, and he has been to quite a few places.

He is capable enough to be a tour guide and will definitely lead the special forces team to have a wonderful journey.

In Miss Black Goat's rule domain, humans have exchanged identities with almost all creatures (mostly animals, and a few are plants).

In Wangcheng at that time, perhaps some animals were still animals, but humans were definitely not humans.

Miss Black Goat has supreme power and extremely high priority. At least Zhong Xie has heard that all the eight ghost story teams that previously attacked Wangcheng were hit without exception.

The local ghost story in "Crime and Punishment" has to break the rules to enter her comfort zone, but Miss Black Goat is different.

Once any creature sets foot in her territory, it will be unconditionally drawn into the influence of the rules.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xie became a little curious. How did such a strong Miss Black Goat lose?
He remembered the number of times Miss Black Goat had asked Kuster to get the killing agent, so he could guess that humans had suffered at least eight losses from Miss Black Goat's killing agent.

That is a weapon of causality. Once used in a reasonable form, the result will be a "complete kill".

"Kester, do you know how Miss Black Goat was captured by humans?"

Zhong Xie had already trained himself to tell strange stories, so he could ask boldly without worrying that Kuster might hide something.

This problem actually troubled him for a long time, but if he had just got Kuster, with Kuster's stupid and stupid appearance at that time, he would probably have fooled him easily.

Not now, because Kuster is almost compliant.

Three strange incidents, three benchings, and all ended in complete victory.

If you do this, then even the most talented players with the most traffic will have to obey the coach's arrangements, because the team really doesn't want to pay attention to you.

"As for the black goat, its weakness is obvious." Kuster said carelessly. It seemed that his awe of the black goat decreased significantly after it was caught.

"Tell me in detail." Zhong Xie pricked up his ears to listen. This was one of the few times that Kuster could sit at the table and talk.

Kuster coughed dryly and continued, "You should know His rules. When humans exchange identities with other creatures, all unreasonable things will be forcibly rationalized. This is also the reason why the killing agent can ignore the rules and eliminate humans."

Zhong Xie nodded and signaled to continue.

"The Black Goat has a golden entry called "Unconditional" which can be called a bug. It triggers the rules unconditionally, so when "He" descends, no one can escape."

"The next is [Domain]. It is an exclusive entry for rule-based weird stories. It is similar to [Big Body] in the giant-based system, but it is not innate and requires training. [Domain] is divided into colors according to the coverage area. The origin name of each domain is different. Miss Black Goat is undoubtedly gold, but there are also differences in gold."

"Just like [massive body], the highest gold color represents a Titan-level massive body, with a mass of more than one thousand tons. However, one thousand tons is only the threshold for seeing a Titan. There are many creatures that weigh ten thousand tons, or even one hundred thousand or one million tons. Miss Black Goat is just like this. Her domain covers an entire large city, and can exist continuously without interruption."

Zhong Xie suddenly realized, and then began to think about what Kuster's domain would look like and what it would be called.

[Wife's Death] A field blessed by rules?
Female creature, wife in name only, death.

If you combine these words...

The hell of chaste wives?
what--

I can only say that Kuster is worthy of his name. Any name of a field can make people imagine a lot.

Based on the name of this area, Zhong Xie has imagined a strange village. There is a ritual in the village that requires the selection of a female creature as a sacrifice, and the ritual can only be performed with the consent of her closest person.

All the male creatures in the club will be there...

Wait a minute, I seem to have seen this plot somewhere before?

Kuster didn't know that he had become the new director of the club. He was still introducing his ex-wife to Zhong Xie: "More importantly, the characteristic of the black goat after climbing the steps is 'faith power'. You know climbing the steps, right?"

Zhong Xie nodded.

Climbing the ladder is the "examination" that the Kyoudaijiu takes in the process of explaining Kyoudaijiu. It will be triggered when the level reaches a certain level, and it will happen more than once.

Students who perform well in configuring entries will be rewarded, and students who make mistakes in configuring entries will be punished.

The reward may be an entry upgrade, an origin name evolution, or an awakening feature.

The punishment is that the entry is destroyed and disappears, the ghost story is downgraded or even distorted, and finally the ghost story causes death.

"The characteristic of 'Faith Power' is very simple. All creatures affected by the rules in the domain will provide strength to Miss Black Goat. The scope of Miss Black Goat's domain is surprisingly large, so humans spent a lot of effort to conquer it."

Kuster said dimly, "Unfortunately, this is a combination of skills. If one of the links is destroyed, Miss Black Goat's strength will be greatly reduced. So from the beginning I didn't think she could defend Wangcheng."

Zhong Xie understood, and then it made sense.

Eliminating any one of Miss Black Goat's attributes or characteristics would greatly weaken her. It took humans eight attempts to realize that this was already too slow.

But it's normal. It's impossible to deal with this level of root ghost stories easily. We can only use human lives to deepen our understanding of the rules of ghost stories.

Zhong Xie recalled his three years at University of Rat.

Under the influence of the Black Goat's ability, a large number of fantasy towns and special strange stories have emerged in Wangcheng, such as the Rat Town that impressed him the most.

Miss Black Goat was away on a business trip those days, and the only person at home was the smelly otaku pervert Kuster, so Zhong Xie was in a bad mood and bit off Kuster's network cable. Kuster was so angry that he borrowed several neighboring cats to catch mice.

It just so happened that Mouse Mother had an errand that required a mouse to go to Mouse Town. Zhong Xie knew that these cats were coming for him, and there happened to be no Miss Black Goat at home, so he volunteered to go.

He stayed in Rat Town for three full days, but when he came back he had no memory of it.

There was only an instinctive resistance, as if one had experienced unimaginable horror in that small town.

Zhong Xie is still very confident in Shu Da's courage. To some extent, it can even be said that he is stronger than he is now, because Shu Da is a love-brained person.

Love-brain is fearless.

Even so, Rat Da was still scared half to death and stayed sick in the rat's nest for several days.

This scene made Kuster mistakenly believe that it was his victory, and he celebrated with joy for several days, until the brick that looked like a mobile phone was smashed into pieces by the extremely unhappy Rat Big with a rocket headbutt.

Now when Zhong Xie recalled Rat Town, there were only two words left in his mind.

"plague".

There was no cause or consequence, just these two simple words, but they still made his whole body shiver.

What's spreading in Rat Town is something far more terrifying than "disease".

"Are you really going? That's fine. Without Miss Black Goat here, the average intensity of ghost stories in Wangcheng will drop a lot. With me leading the way, nothing will go wrong." Kuster's mind suddenly became active, and he spoke subconsciously with full confidence.

Indeed, he may not be as familiar with the area around Black Goat’s home as Zhong Xie, but he is definitely not as familiar with the entire Wangcheng as he is.

After all, it’s the second weird story. Even if I’m a bit of a homebody, I can still share some of the real-life situations in Wangcheng from Miss Black Goat.

Thinking of this, Kuster straightened his back again.

As long as he still has added value, there will be hope for custody and the like.

Besides, he still has several old friends in Wangcheng. They are not closely related to Miss Black Goat and will not die with the departure of Miss Black Goat.

"You should be quite familiar with Wangcheng. Draw a rough map in the evening, but only draw the area near Black Sheep's home. You can memorize the maps of other areas in your mind." Zhong Xie ordered, making plans in his mind.

He was going to go back to Wangcheng to have a look. The symbiotic bacteria entry only existed in giant creatures above level 50 (complete form), and Wangcheng was the most suitable place to obtain it.

You can't just spend points to buy it, right?

Isn't that stupid?
At least we need to get a certain golden ball moving and push the starship plan into the first phase. This time, with the military's special forces escorting us, it is naturally the best opportunity.

When the time comes, I can ask Kuster if he knows where some giant monsters are hiding, so I can try hunting them.

whee.

"Row."

Kuster fondly recalled the days when he and a few old friends went fishing and played cards. Somehow he felt like he was "going back to his mother's home" on this trip back to Wangcheng.

He has suffered a lot from Zhong Xie, and now he finally has an old friend to support him!

After returning in the morning, Zhong Xie began to prepare supplies for the trip to Wangcheng.

Although the special forces will definitely make arrangements, to be honest, outsiders' understanding of Wangcheng is too superficial. On this point, he only trusts himself, and he personally selects all the necessities for going to Wangcheng.

However, due to the incident at the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday, Zhong Xie decided to stay out of the spotlight for the time being, so he did not plan to let Lin Youlan take him out this time, but instead sneaked out of the school to make purchases.

While eating lunch, Zhong Xie did not hide the fact about Wangcheng's tour guide: "I will be away for a while, and should be back before school starts."

He thought for a moment and added, "You are not allowed to secretly participate in ghost stories. If there are any interesting cases, wait for me to come back and play with you."

"I'll go too." Lin Youlan finished the food in her bowl, looked at Zhong Xie and said, "Old Qin has approved my leave."

"Oh?" Zhong Xie blinked. He didn't expect that Lin Youlan would be involved in this fun.

So Lin Youlan explained simply: "When going to the occupied areas to perform routine tasks, this kind of special operations team often brings 3 to 4 ghost story masters to learn with the team. It is a kind of experience inheritance. After returning, they basically start with third-class merit and are allocated more ghost story resources."

Zhong Xie suddenly realized that he was familiar with the routine of first doing that and then doing that.

The bottom line is that there is still a talent gap in the ghost story envoys, so the military is directly called in to help fill the gap.

However, this is still pretty good as long as it does not affect emergency tasks.

Lin Youlan was also very honest: "I need to complete the first ascent in Wangcheng, and I was arranged to come in with the help of the black hunter certificate and Lao Qin's relationship. This model is a good time to stuff people in. It's better to stuff me in than to stuff them in. I'm definitely better than them."

Zhong Xie nodded, this was indeed true.

It is inevitable to use connections. Instead of having a stupid rich second generation who does bad things, it is better to continue to be teammates with the perfect tool.

It seems that Qin Mian, the class teacher, has a very strong network of contacts. Why does everyone have to give him some face?

Is this the value of a model worker?

And isn’t Lin Youlan stuck at entry level 25?
Why do we have to climb the stairs suddenly?
Is it because of the strange incident of [Growing Friends] that made her realize that her strength could not keep up with the version?

Zhong Xie didn't think much about it. It was a good thing for him that Lin Youlan was also going, because he could go shopping in the city with her in the afternoon.

Some things can indeed be bought in school, but some things...

You have to do it yourself.

-

Supermarket.

Checkout counter.

Lin Youlan watched as Zhong Xie skillfully took out two snakeskin bags from his trouser pockets and put all the messy things on the counter into them.

Insecticide, fly swatter, rat poison, trash can, kettle, parasol...

Even though she trusted Zhong Xie, her mind was still full of questions.

"Are you going to take all these things to Wangcheng tomorrow?" she asked puzzledly.

Zhong Xie nodded without hesitation: "Of course, these are all Mickey Mouse tools that will be used later."

He shrugged and said, "Why else would I come out to buy it? I'll go to the pharmacy and the hospital later and see if I can make some aphrodisiac or corpse-dissolving water or something."

Lin Youlan blinked in confusion. She was very insensitive, but now she had come to her senses.

Can such dangerous chemicals be made from things bought in pharmacies and hospitals?
Wait, when you say "take a look around", you mean "buy", right?

"Don't worry, it will definitely come in handy in Wangcheng. You don't know what a wonderful place it is." Zhong Xie said cheerfully, carrying a half-person-high snakeskin bag and walking out of the supermarket.

The power of a tiger remains even after its death. He has experienced it personally. Even if Miss Black Goat is not in Wangcheng, there are still many hidden rules in Wangcheng.

If these rules are not followed, even the most battle-hardened special forces will be defeated.

Zhong Xie walked into the transparent elevator inside the mall carrying two snakeskin bags, thinking about which medicines he would look for later, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of his eye.

The walls of the elevator were transparent, so he could see what was going on inside the elevator next to him. He saw Sister Shui walk into the elevator carrying her guitar case and then press the button for the top floor.

A water?

Can I meet the boss even when buying something?

Zhong Xie took out his business card and swiped it, looking through the chat history on the public screen. Sure enough, he saw someone had sent this message at noon today.

"Who has an anti-material sniper rifle? I need it urgently."

Amidst the concerns expressed by everyone about Sister Shui's well-being, he found two simple words: "I have".

Sure enough, there was a sniper rifle hidden in each guitar case.

Zhong Xie immediately pressed the elevator button to the top floor. No matter what Ah Shui was going to do, he wanted to watch the fun.

"Go back to the car and wait for me first. I'll tell you the reason later." When the elevator reached the top floor, he left Lin Youlan alone and chased after it.

Although he could no longer see Sister Shui, he could roughly guess the destination.

Rooftop.

Zhong Xie pushed open the door to the rooftop and saw Sister Shui's figure at the edge. She had already assembled the sniper rifle and started adjusting the crosshairs.

He approached Sister Shui with a snakeskin bag in his hand, and she asked without turning back, "Where are you going after buying so many things?"

"Wangcheng." Zhong Xie knew that his appearance was within Sister Shui's expectations.

"There's been a revolution going on there lately, it's not peaceful, you have to be careful." Sister Shui reminded, "Do you need help?"

"Not for now." Zhong Xie shook his head, and became curious.

After Miss Black Goat left, can the evil spirits in Wangcheng no longer hold back?

But without the root ghost story to lead them, why do they think they can fight against the humans who took in Miss Black Goat?

Instead of running away, are you starting a revolution?

it's wired.

"I thought you would just use ghost stories to solve the problem." Zhong Xie looked at Sister Shui who was skillfully manipulating the sniper rifle and felt a little bit of a contrast.

Sister Shui looked back at Zhong Xie with a strange look in her eyes: "How can a ghost story be as useful as a gun?"

He said it so naturally, as if Zhong Xie was asking an extremely stupid question.

Zhong Xie was speechless and secretly put shooting into his training schedule.

Why don’t mental hospitals teach this?

　Huh? How did you know I had reached the boundless space of Yihua?
　　I'm still looking for a chance to read it. I'm probably only a few hundred away.
