Weird Game: I Use Mystery to Fight Mystery

Chapter 20 The Crows That Came with Fear

"Brother Ye, I think there's a trick to being a kept man. First, you can't be too soft, or you'll be looked down upon. But you also can't be too assertive, or you might offend a rich woman and have nowhere to cry."

"Don't let my lack of a girlfriend fool you, I really know a thing or two about living off women. Trust me, Brother Ye, if you're willing, I'll introduce you to a few rich women after we leave the dungeon. They're all people I know, and none of them have ever dated before."

"They're all so beautiful, it's a pity I'm not good-looking enough, so they don't even look at me. But with your looks, Brother Ye, you'd have absolutely no problem winning them over."

At this moment, Ye Tian and Wang Nian were sitting on the edge of a field, with an endless wheat field in front of them.

Sitting close to Ye Tian, Wang Nian's mouth never stopped talking.

Perhaps it's because he's finally met someone who doesn't find him annoying and is willing to listen, that Wang Nian is getting more and more enthusiastic as he talks.

"Really, Brother Ye, as long as you nod, I'll bring the person over to you as soon as we leave the dungeon."

"You're too kind!"

Ye Tian wore a polite smile.

Wang Nian can talk about being a kept man so eloquently; no wonder he'll become the king of kept men in the future.

"Oh, what a pity."

Seeing that Ye Tian seemed unwilling, Wang Nian did not press the matter further, but simply sighed with regret.

"..."

What a pity.

So it's a shame I don't live off a woman?

"Brother Ye, look, there are more crows now."

At this moment, noticing the anomaly in the sky, Wang Nian quickly patted Ye Tian and took out several strange candles, lit them, and placed them around himself.

It's not anything rare anyway; staying alive is the most important thing.

Look up.

What started as one crow has become two, then three, and the number is still gradually increasing.

"Wait, it's flying down."

Noticing a crow suddenly swooping down, Wang Nian quickly used a lit eerie candle to shield himself and Ye Tian.

This made Ye Tian pause in his action of taking out the ghost lamp.

"Um?"

However, after realizing something, Ye Tian suddenly looked at the crow that was swooping down unexpectedly.

He patted his trouser legs and stood up from the ground.

"Brother Ye?"

"Don't worry, it's not a real crow."

"?"

This is definitely not a real crow, isn't it a creepy crow?

But the next moment.

Under Wang Nian's astonished gaze, Ye Tian suddenly raised his hand. The crow that was swooping down from the horizon suddenly became illusory, passing directly through Ye Tian's palm, and then flew back to the horizon.

"Gah! Gah!"

With a couple of flaps of its wings, the crow tilted its neck, its bright red eyes gazing curiously at the human before it.

It seemed strange that the other party didn't seem to feel any fear.

Then it flew away again.

"Brother Ye... what's going on?"

Why did the crow pass right through Ye Tian's palm?

If you look closely just now, you can clearly see that for a moment, the crow's entire body became illusory.

Don't forget the rules.

Ye Tian sat down again and, looking at the crows circling in the sky, began to explain.

"Fear is the central theme of this dungeon's rules; as long as you are free from fear, you will not be harmed!"

Although level 5 dungeons are more dangerous than level 1 dungeons, the strangeness here is still limited by the dungeon rules.

Knowing the rules is the most important thing.

"I see."

After hearing Ye Tian's explanation, Wang Nian immediately understood.

However, she still looked at Ye Tian with admiration.

"Brother Ye, you're amazing! You figured it out right away. If it were me, even if I knew the rules, I probably wouldn't be able to stay calm. I would still be a little scared when I should be."

Fear is a basic human emotion.

Unless someone has a congenital defect, even after long-term training, no one can say they are completely unafraid of being frightened.

Even Ye Tian wouldn't dare say he wasn't afraid.

This instance, however, is not enough to scare Ye Tian.

"Alright, let's take a break. This dungeon will take a whole day, there's no need to go too far."

not to mention.

The surrounding wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see, and there was probably no point in continuing.

"Okay!"

Wang Nian's face lit up with joy.

That's perfect, since my physical condition wasn't exactly great to begin with.

Taking a break is of course the best option.

"Brother Ye, let me tell you something..."

Here we go again. Sure enough, when people have free time, their mouths just keep moving.

,,,

"Aaaaaah!"

"Crows! So many crows!"

"Brother Gu Xia, hurry and make a move!"

In contrast, Gu Xia was clearly not so lucky.

Shortly after that crow was dealt with, several new crows began to appear in the sky, and these crows, unlike before, did not simply circle in the sky.

Instead, it began to swoop down directly towards the group.

Those who witnessed this scene were all terrified and screamed repeatedly.

After narrowly dodging the swooping crows several times, one of them even broke down emotionally and started yelling at Gu Xia.

"Didn't you say you were a contractor? Then do it!"

"Shut up!"

Annoyed by the noise, Gu Xia snapped at him.

"Idiots, didn't you see those crows were just trying to scare you? They weren't actually attacking. Calm down, all of you. Don't forget the rules when you entered the instance: the more afraid you are, the more they will attack you."

Gu Xia was not without ability to become a contractor.

Several times I saw those crows, but they just flew past human players and didn't actually harm them.

It's obvious they figured it out.

These crows weren't attacking; rather, their purpose was simply to instill fear in the human players.

Although it's unknown what changes will occur when fear reaches a certain level, it's definitely better to remain calm in such situations.

"Calm down! Everyone calm down! Stop yelling!"

at last.

After several shouts, the people finally quieted down.

"Listen up, all of you! As long as you're not afraid, you won't be attacked. And what about your talents? Use whatever you have!"

"this..."

When it came to talent, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Obviously.
