This bug is amazing!

Chapter 11 The Winner's Reward
The room fell into dead silence.

Ji Yin could see the word "bewildered" on the blurry face of the shadowy figure.

"what"

After a long pause, the dark figure spoke.

"Hahahaha! Awesome!!"

The dark aura surrounding him also became more active.

"I underestimated you. I take back what I said before. You are very strong and smart. You were able to turn the tide even in such a disadvantageous situation, which was unexpected. There aren't many people who can beat me in a card game. You are the second one."

Ji Yi did not expect the other party to react this way.

"I used my skills to beat you, and you don't mind at all?"

"Of course, this is your ability. Besides, without meticulous planning, an ordinary person could not break through under the same conditions."

The figure in the shadows seemed to be in a good mood.

"I don't think so, if they're willing to use a knife."

"That's a trap."

The shadowy figure interrupted.

“If you really do that, you’ll be completely taken advantage of by me. You know what? So-called gamblers are nothing but blind and foolish people. Once the sacrifice begins, they will willingly give their whole body and soul to me.”

So scary
Ji Yi felt a little scared.

This information is outside the rules; it belongs to the abilities of the Shadow.

Ji Yi can use skills, and so can the Shadow.

These are all permitted outside the rules of the game.

Ji Yi believed that the shadowy figure's strength was probably more than what it had shown so far.

For the shadowy figure, this game was truly insignificant; even winning or losing wasn't worth taking seriously.

"The victor should be rewarded."

With a wave of his hand, the dark figure cleared the deck of cards from the table, leaving only five cards face up.

Look down.

"The Invisible Hand", "The Drowned Ghost", "The Moldy 500 Yuan Coin", "The Ghostly Photograph", "The Dismembered Ghost".

The cards are the same as before, the only difference being that the number of offerings displayed is 0.

"What do you mean?"

“Pick it up and take a look.”

Ji Yi picked up the first card.

【Name: Summoning Spell - The Invisible Hand】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active skill, disappears after two uses]

[Effect: Summons several invisible hands to fight for you (maximum 50 hands), lasting for three minutes. During the skill's effect, the invisible hands will not disappear due to combat destruction.]

[Activation conditions: bend your neck to the left/right at an angle of more than 70 degrees and say "my brain is shaking"]

Learning requirements: None

[Note: I used to be annoyed by the length of the whip, but now it's much easier to lift.]

"Don't underestimate this thing. You don't even need a foundation of spiritual power to activate it. It's very precious."

The shadowy figure explained.

"However, there are also drawbacks. Individual strength does not affect the strength of the skill effect. So it can be used as a transition in the early stage, but if you keep it hidden like a treasure, it will become useless later."

Ji Yi nodded, looked at the five skill cards, and then put them all away.

These rewards are absolutely very generous.

With it, the chances of clearing this nightmare-level dungeon are much higher.

"I've always been curious about what exactly your understanding of the concept of 'players' is. Can you give me an answer now?"

Ji Yi asked.

"You don't need to get involved with these things right now. But I can tell you definitively that I don't belong to any of the supernatural tales in this instance, and what you see of me is just a projection of myself in this instance."

He straightened his expression and said, "Let me introduce myself. You can call me Shadow."

"Oh~ Yes, Master Ying, so you are a higher-dimensional being. You are truly amazing."

Ji Yi praised him with a forced smile.

"Hehe, stop with your fake flattery, and don't even think about testing us. We'll meet again in the future."

The shadow's form began to blur.

"Wait, I still have questions about the strange tales surrounding this instance."

"You've asked so many questions during the teaching process, don't you already have the answers in your heart? Why ask me?"

The shadow's color gradually faded.

"I almost forgot, this is for you."

The instant the shadow disappeared, a card flew out from his position.

Snapped--

The cards landed on the table.

Before I could even pick it up and examine it, the card suddenly changed.

A flash of white light, and a dirty thigh appeared on the table. [Name: Misaki's Left Leg]

[Type: Dungeon Related]

[Quality: Deteriorated]

[Effect: It might be edible, but not recommended]

Can it be taken out of the instance: No

[Note: This thigh was severed by being cleaved open with an axe, and was struck many times.]

Looking at the horrifying severed limbs, Ji Yi gasped.

Let's put the items into our inventory first.

Including the parts collected by Miss Cat, Misaki's body is now complete.

"Hmm? This kitchen knife?"

Ji Yi noticed that the knife on the table had not been taken away by Ying and was still stuck in the table.

"It's a good item, it should be useful to keep it."

Add the knife to your inventory.

Although this game was fraught with peril, the rewards were well worth it.

"Hey?"

Miss Cat's voice came through the receiver.

"Oh, I almost forgot you were still on the phone. You're still at the red phone booth, right? I'll be right there."

Ji Yi suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence.

so close.

I almost blurted it out again.

"Although I would like to celebrate for you, perhaps you can come over sooner and help me collect my body."

"what happened?"

"The black cat just died again."

"?"

"A lot of ghosts just came to the phone booth and started fighting with the black cat. Ever since I started collecting Misaki's body, these guys have been appearing more and more often, it seems to be related to the number of limbs the player possesses."

Ji Yi had already climbed out of the window and was running towards the phone booth.

"Give me five minutes to describe what those ghosts look like."

"They all look exactly the same, are very short, and are carrying axes."

Based on the description, Ji Yi made a judgment.

It's a dismemberment demon.

Their objective is to hunt down players who possess Misaki's body?
The stories behind the ghost tales seem to be becoming clearer.

Ji Yi felt as if there were many puzzle pieces in her brain, which were gradually being pieced together on their own.

On a night road.

Ji Yi ran with all her might.

However, because the attribute panel was locked, he was out of breath after walking less than 100 meters.

"Haha. Damn, this body is much weaker than my real body."

Under the streetlight.

Ji Yi looked up at the reflection in the window glass of the house next to the road.

That was the image of an unfamiliar, pained Japanese otaku suffering from kidney deficiency.

He's not good-looking, and he's very petty.

"Depend on!"

Ji Yi picked up the receiver: "Give me a few more minutes, can you hold on?"

Miss Cat replied, "That depends on the black cat. According to you, if it dies twice more, I will definitely die too."

Ji Yi gritted her teeth: "Wait! I'll be there as soon as possible!"

"Yes, me."

Miss Cat hadn't finished speaking.

Toot toot.
"Why did you die?"

Ji Yi frowned, hoping that nothing bad had happened.

Before he could catch his breath, he started running again.

But just as he passed a street lamp...

Snapped!
The lights went out, and the surroundings fell into a deathly darkness.

"."

Ji Yi fell silent for a moment.

"Dark Ghost, you're fucking asking for a beating."
