Chapter 104 Exorcist and Demon Tamer (Seventeenth update, please subscribe!)
Lu Ming appeared at the inn with a normal expression.

However, his other teammates' expressions showed that he was anything but calm.

Just now, a notification panel appeared in front of them at the same time.

[This dungeon's competitive objective: The team that survives the longest wins.]

[In this instance, one challenger team has been eliminated, leaving one team remaining.]

[Winners: Lu Ming, Chen Xin, Wu Lei, Jiang Zi, Gao Mingzhe]

Lu Ming left the hostel alone late at night. Five challengers died, and then Lu Ming returned to the hostel.

They don't believe that there's no connection between the two events.

"Captain Lu went out for a bit and casually took out those five high-level challengers?"

Jiang Zi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lu Ming, just like them, appeared to be only a third-tier challenger.

However, their expressiveness is worlds apart.

Putting aside the fact that the high-level challengers in the other team are not to be underestimated, just considering the rules of the Main God Space, taking down five challengers while under penalty is something most people cannot afford.

The next moment, their figures became blurry, as if they had disintegrated, and gradually disappeared into the air.

Only Lu Ming remained in the instance.

···········
"I received a reward of 700 points?"

Jiang Zi was somewhat dazed.

Although 700 points is not a high number for a four-star horror movie dungeon, especially a team-based dungeon, it's important to remember that these people didn't do anything after entering the dungeon.

If the team competition mode is not selected, the player who does nothing and wins will only get 350 points.

It's like being matched with a pro player in a game, being taken to a safe place, and then the pro player leaves.

Five minutes later, the expert tells you that he has cleared the map, and now everyone can leave together.

Are they completely useless?
not necessarily.

At least enough people were gathered.

Every horror movie instance in the God's Space is a matter of life and death.

Because the types of ghosts are different in each instance.

Even in a two-star difficulty dungeon, fourth-tier challengers can still fail.

She was already quite satisfied with getting 700 points in the God's Space for free without doing anything, just like this time.

Unfortunately, the God Space does not allow challengers to trade points with each other—this rule is to prevent higher-level challengers from oppressing lower-level challengers and creating forced "voluntary transactions."

Otherwise, Jiang Zi would definitely return all 700 points to Lu Ming.

After all, sticking close to such a powerful figure is much more important than a few hundred or a few thousand points.

"Sister Xin, why hasn't Captain Lu come out?"

"He must have his own plans, so we shouldn't pry into such things."

Chen Xin remembered that Lu Ming had also stayed until the very end in the Mountain Village Corpse instance.

A voice in her head told her not to overthink it, so Chen Xin naturally let it go.

"Should I exchange some supernatural items in the Main God Shop as a way of thanking Captain Lu? I know Captain Lu doesn't lack these things, I just want to express my gratitude..."

Chen Xin glanced at Jiang Zi; this girl was a bit cunning.

Of course she knew that Jiang Zi wanted to curry favor with Lu Ming; in this God's Space, the strong are never short of admirers.

Chen Xin couldn't make the decision for Lu Ming, but she knew that Lu Ming wouldn't change his mind for a small benefit.

So she thought for a moment and said, "What you're doing will only make things difficult for Captain Lu. The key is to focus on improving your strength. Don't overthink things." This statement is realistic, but it is also true.

Lu Ming chose them to team up simply because there aren't many truly powerful challengers in this dimension of the God Space right now.

Once Lu Ming enters the higher-dimensional God Space, while they remain in the same place, there's a high probability that they won't have another chance to team up together.

It's naive to think that you can change Lu Ming's decision with a small bribe.

···········
the other side.

Lu Ming remains in the instance.

He first approached Yumi Nakamura and a few others.

They discovered that they had indeed received the death prophecy from the ghostly phone call.

Furthermore, Mizunuma Mimiko in her fully activated state seems to have amplified the curse of the ghost call.

Previously, the ghost caller would only seek out the next victim after killing the target.

But this time, Yumi Nakamura wasn't the only one to receive the curse.

Three people simultaneously received death prophecies.

Moreover, the time in the prophecy is exactly the same.

The ghost seemed to want to attack all three at once.

"It seems that after killing all five of them, the ghost finally realized that there was a problem with the contact list, so it used supernatural means to restore it."

"It's good to attack all three at the same time, so I don't waste time. I can complete the extra mission of controlling the ghost phone by fighting Mizunuma Mimiko once."

The reason he was left alone in the instance was because Lu Ming still needed to complete additional tasks.

The description of the extra mission is: "Make the murder prophecy of the ghost calling three times in a row invalid."

Now that Mizunuma Mimiko has made three calls at the same time, Lu Ming can take this opportunity to win her over.

After contacting Yumi Nakamura, she brought two other victims to an apartment.

Besides Yumi Nakamura, the other two victims were Rina's high school classmates.

From their appearance, they were dressed like typical Japanese high school girls, sitting on the sofa in the apartment with their legs turned inward, and their expressions were somewhat restrained and uneasy.

This is the age when we are most prone to overthinking and believing all sorts of strange tales.

In addition, Yumi Nakamura had witnessed Yoko's tragic death firsthand.

Therefore, they firmly believed in the death prophecy of the ghost call, and as the time of their death approached, they were all trembling with fear and dared not even breathe.

Besides Lu Ming, an exorcist from an island nation was also there to protect their safety.

It's no wonder that Nakamura Yumi didn't trust Lu Ming.

Mainly due to the influence of the main god, Lu Ming's identity and experiences in the [Ghost Call] instance are all fictional.

In Nakamura Yumi's mind, Lu Ming was a peer who liked to joke around.

He doesn't usually seem to reveal any knowledge of feng shui or exorcism.

So, just to be on the safe side, Nakamura Yumi and two other high school girls specifically invited an exorcist from an island nation, who said he could guarantee their safety and wouldn't charge them if he couldn't.

Judging from the preparations made beforehand, the exorcist master did indeed appear to be much more professional than Lu Ming.

He first had someone remove all the clutter from the apartment.

Then they scattered beans all over the ground.

Finally, he drew the curtains, muttered incomprehensible incantations, and with trembling hands, drew talismans with his own blood...
In contrast, Lu Ming was completely unprepared, instead looking at the Japanese exorcist master in front of him with an air of composure, as if he were enjoying a performance.
