Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

Fan Chen was somewhat surprised to see the ghost streamer appear.

Just as the sick ghost was dealt with, the ghost streamer emerged from the house next door.

It was clearly the one who hid in the box and disappeared, but judging from its words, it seems the players have disappeared...

The ghost streamer, wearing a hat with a light source, hurriedly said:

"Don't leave me, I was so scared. I'm so glad I finally met you all again."

Fan Chen and An Ran exchanged glances.

"Were you in this room the whole time?" Fan Chen asked, pointing to the dean's office.

"Yes, that rocking chair appeared outside the door. I was so scared that I stayed in the room the whole time."

The ghost streamer said fearfully, "Luckily, you guys solved the problem."

The actress and the man in sunglasses walked over.

The man in sunglasses looked pleasantly surprised and hurriedly approached. He seemed to care a lot about the ghost streamer.

"Just you two? Where are the other four?" The ghost streamer looked around and asked curiously.

He was clearly referring to the four players from the Wildfire Guild.

"We got separated." Fan Chen remained vigilant. "Didn't you run into them?"

"No." The ghost streamer shook his head, looking disgusted. "I'm a famous streamer, and I dislike these hooligans the most."

He looked them up and down, then asked eagerly, "By the way, what do you do?"

"I'm just an ordinary office worker," the actress said.

The man in sunglasses chimed in, "Me too."

Fan Chen: "I am a death row inmate."

Ghost Streamer: "?"

It quickly increased the distance between itself and Fan Chen.

It glanced at An Ran again, without asking any questions, but its expression remained wary: An Ran's white coat seemed to frighten it.

Fan Chen found it somewhat amusing and continued, "What were you doing here earlier? Were you looking for us?"

The ghost streamer shook his head and said, "I just thought I'd come here to take a look; maybe there are some clues here."

"What clue?" the man in sunglasses pressed.

The ghost streamer glanced at the dean's office behind him:

"When I came to this building to do a live broadcast before, everything was fine, and I didn't encounter anything strange at all."

"Until I came to this room...and then, then everything changed!"

"This building is starting to get haunted..."

Its voice gradually faded, as if it were recalling a terrifying memory.

The dungeon description mentions that the abandoned mental hospital only became famous after a ghost-hunting streamer came to broadcast live from it.

Before that, there didn't seem to be anything strange. It was something the ghost streamer did that caused the change.

Is the dean's office the place that triggered the strange occurrences?

Fan Chen's eyes lit up as he walked into the dean's office and looked it over.

The office was dusty and dilapidated; everything had been moved out long ago.

There were no footprints on the ground—although the building was covered in dust, the footprints left by ghosts or players would quickly disappear.

There doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy here, except...

Fan Chen raised the oil lamp and looked at the dilapidated desk.

The desktop was covered in dust, but one spot was clean. Judging from the marks, it looked like a book or notebook, but someone had taken it.

"Did you take these things?" Fan Chen asked the ghost anchor, pointing to the spot.

The ghost streamer shook his head blankly.

Fan Chen continued, "So what did you do after you started your livestream here?"

The ghost streamer suddenly showed a pained expression, clutching his head and saying:

"I don't remember!"

"I only remember being here, but I don't remember what happened here..."

"If, if we could figure out what happened, maybe we could leave here."

The female gamer and the man in sunglasses who followed them into the office both looked delighted.

Is this how you escape from a mental hospital?

The key to clearing this dungeon is figuring out the ghost streamer's lost memories!

However, Fan Chen and An Ran simultaneously thought of what the Fengdu Daily had mentioned about the ghost anchor hiding a terrifying secret.

This secret is probably related to what it does in this room.

But if it's such a terrifying secret, could it really be a clue to escaping the mental hospital?

"Once we get to the inner world, we can ask the hanged ghost for clarification," Fan Chen said to An Ran through telepathy.

The streamer's companion, who hanged himself, is now imprisoned in the Otherworld.

It definitely knows what the ghost streamer is doing.

Finding nothing of interest in the dean's office, they left and continued to examine the other rooms on the third floor.

In addition to the dean's office, the third floor also houses hospital departments such as a pharmacy, radiology department, medical testing room, and physical therapy room.

However, these places are in ruins, and medicines and equipment have long been lost.

In addition, there are several closed wards here.

A closed ward means that the ward is completely sealed off, and the doors and windows are fitted with iron bars.

It is specially prepared for those restless patients.

"It's similar to a prison cell," Fan Chen commented professionally.

During this process, the actress and the man in sunglasses saw the ghost anchor as a lifeline, constantly following it around and asking it questions.

"Have you been here for a long time?"

"That's right, I... I don't remember how long I've been trapped here..."

"Do you know how to avoid the ghosts here?"

"I know, just follow me. I know how to avoid them."

"Is there a safe place around here?"

"No, everywhere here is dangerous, especially the fourth floor, that's the most dangerous place."

"You mentioned before that the doctors at the mental hospital wouldn't let us leave?"

"That's right, they're the scariest ghosts here!"

The ghost streamer seems to know a lot of things; a lot of information can be gleaned from him.

In these entirely new instances, intelligence is often the most valuable resource.

Inside Fan Chen's live stream.

"It seems that to clear this dungeon, I need to stay by the ghost streamer's side to avoid the ghosts."

"This streamer is clearly acting strangely; he might be lying."

"Anyway, it's a live broadcast, so we'll know soon enough whether they're lying or not."

"It's most important to quickly record this information."

"What's the point of recording anything? When Brother Chen goes into a dungeon, he always clears it perfectly, so there's no need to record any information."

"Hehe, this is a D-level difficulty dungeon. Fan Chen might not be able to clear it perfectly."

The comments section was filled with discussions about the dungeon information.

This is precisely the meaning behind death row inmates streaming their content.

This is Fan Chen's first time entering a D-level dungeon, and many people have reservations about whether he can clear it perfectly.

While he is indeed very strong, achieving a perfect clear is not something that can be done simply by being strong.

In the corridor on the third floor.

Fan Chen and An Ran did not ask the ghost anchor any questions, nor did they completely believe its answers.

Because of the information they had learned in advance from the Fengdu Daily, they were instinctively wary of the ghost anchor.

However, Fan Chen did not intend to tell the female player and the man in sunglasses this.

They weren't allies, so Fan Chen had no reason to share intelligence.

Of course, some of the things the ghost streamer said are believable, such as the claim that the fourth floor is the most dangerous.

Because the fourth floor was inhabited by severely mentally ill patients, they have now become vengeful ghosts.

However, the veracity of other information cannot be determined.

At this moment, the actress suddenly raised a question:

"You said earlier that no player who has heard that piece of music can leave this place. What exactly is that piece of music?"

"song?"

The ghost streamer suddenly stopped and looked thoughtful.

Its expression gradually turned pained:

"Yes, the musician created the piece by imagining the state of a mental patient."

"Everyone who heard it went mad."

"That piece of music is, is..."

Fan Chen became more wary.

Earlier in the auditorium, when the ghost anchor mentioned this piece, the violin on stage began playing a ghostly version of "The Butterfly Lovers"...

But Fan Chen didn't stop the ghost anchor from continuing; instead, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Never mind the song, we don't want to know," the man in sunglasses said hastily. He also realized the problem and wanted to stop the ghost anchor from revealing the name.

But it was too late.

The ghostly streamer said the name aloud: "Dark Sonata!"

Just as it uttered that name.

"Eek—" The shrill sound of a violin suddenly rang out.

The sounds came in rapid succession, forming a melody that seemed to pierce everyone's heart.

It was as if the darkness within the hearts of all the listeners had been stirred up in an instant, arousing a restless desire.

Unlike the jarring performance of "The Butterfly Lovers" in the auditorium, its melody was normal, yet it possessed a strange and magical power.

[Warning: When the Dark Sonata begins, the Red Moon will descend. For thirteen minutes during the music's performance, all players will be attacked by the Demon of Disease!]

Crimson moonlight shone in through the window at the end of the corridor.

Everything before my eyes was stained with the color of blood.

The Red Moon has begun!

Amidst the eerie and inexplicable music, sometimes soaring and sometimes murmuring, bursts of ghostly wails and howls rose up, along with rumbling sounds, all emanating from downstairs.

It sounded as if countless people had pushed open the door and were running out in a chaotic manner.

"They've finally arrived." Fan Chen's eyes lit up.

So, whenever the ghost streamer mentions the Dark Sonata, it triggers the Red Moon Moment?

"They're out!" The ghostly streamer cried out in terror, rushing towards a room on the third floor. "Quick, come with me! I can help you escape them!"

"Quick, follow it!" The man in sunglasses hurriedly chased after it.

Although the ghost streamer triggered the Red Moon moment, he seemed to trust the ghost streamer a lot and believed he was safe around it...

The actress ran a few steps, only to find that Fan Chen and An Ran were still standing there.

She hesitated for a moment: "Aren't you coming together?"

"No, thank you." Fan Chen declined the invitation.

The actress's expression changed, and without saying anything more, she hurriedly turned and ran away.

At the end of the corridor, at the stairwell leading downstairs, one after another hideous ghosts had crawled out.

In the Ebony Mental Hospital, the fourth floor is inhabited by severely ill patients who have all become vengeful ghosts.

The wards on the second floor house ordinary, mildly mentally ill patients who have transformed into undead.

But each one has already begun to transform into a vengeful ghost.

During the Red Moon, these disease demons will appear and attack players relentlessly.

An Ran had transformed into a bandaged female ghost. With a flash, she entered a state of concealment, becoming visible only through peripheral vision.

"Let's gain some experience first, then head to the fourth floor," Fan Chen and An Ran said.

He had already put away the oil lamp and picked up the Demon Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade.

One after another, strangely shaped, sickly ghosts surged toward them.

"I'm not sick, I'm really not sick!"

"I am a cat, I really am a cat!"

"My sister is right beside me, why can't you see her?"

"Haha, I've succeeded, Daoist Master!"

They emitted ghostly howls and chaotic, frantic roars.

Fan Chen raised his left hand.
