Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

[Warning: The Red Moon has arrived! A serial killer has appeared and will hunt down the nearest player!]

With the notification message, the room lights went out completely.

Instead, the crimson moonlight seeped in from outside the window.

The room's decor has also changed; what was once just clutter now has a sense of decay.

The ground was covered in dust, and the furniture was old and worn out.

The television playing horror movies disappeared, and several large holes appeared on the screen.

Once the Red Moon event begins, the instance scene will change, just like this room.

It looked as if no one had lived there for a long time.

Is a serial killer about to appear?

Fan Chen calmly stood up, looked towards the door, and gripped the Tiger-Slaying Saber in his hand.

He checked the time; one hour and fifty minutes had passed since the instance started.

In this instance, does the red moon appear once every hour and fifty minutes?

The game requires eight hours to complete.

In other words, like the Red Rose Restaurant, the Red Moon will appear approximately four times in this instance.

Fan Chen already knew from the Fengdu Daily that the murderer would appear during the Red Moon, so he wasn't surprised.

On the contrary, I'm actually looking forward to it.

Inside the old building, the players, who were separated into different rooms, were all on edge.

They stayed in their rooms, afraid to make a sound.

It is located in a room on the fourth floor.

The person staying here is a female player wearing camouflage clothing.

She held a bloodstained dagger in her hand, her eyes fixed on the door.

The bloodstained dagger was clearly a strange item she had obtained in a previous dungeon.

suddenly!

In the eerily silent, crimson moonlight, she heard footsteps at the door.

The sound came from afar and then stopped outside the door.

The female player in camouflage's pupils dilated violently. She trembled with fear, not daring to make a sound, and approached the door.

Peek outside through the peephole in the door.

In her dim, reddish, blurry vision, she saw a figure standing outside the door.

The figure was covered in blood and wore a hideous mask.

He was carrying a blood-stained broadsword.

Its appearance alone exudes a ferocious aura.

A serial killer has arrived!

It came looking for itself!

Under the trembling gaze of the man in camouflage, the killer reached out and grasped the doorknob.

Click, click, the camouflage uniform had already locked the door, but the handle still turned unaffected.

She was the player chosen by the serial killer!

A feeling of near despair began to spread through the man in camouflage.

But just then...

A soft tapping sound, like the cane striking the ground, suddenly rang out, as if it came from a great distance.

The killer's movements suddenly froze.

This strange sound seemed to have a strong attraction for it.

Its masked face was turned to the side, as if listening to the source of the sound.

After a moment, it gave up on entering the room with the camouflage uniform.

Thump, thump, the murderer's figure disappeared through the peephole with the sound of footsteps.

The female player in camouflage collapsed to the ground, almost completely exhausted.

"We're saved!"

"It was attracted by the sound..."

What was that sound?

……

Thump, thump.

Room 201 where Fan Chen is located.

The sound of the cane tapping the ground echoed in the room.

Fan Chen was all too familiar with that voice; it came from the cane-wielding ghost in room 603.

"Can it transmit this sound through three or four floors?"

Fan Chen thought with some surprise.

He was not affected by the sound.

This means the sound wasn't meant to attack him, but rather...

The sound of the murderer's footsteps echoed outside the room.

Inside Fan Chen's live stream.

When Fan Chen was watching a horror movie, the number of viewers in the live stream decreased significantly.

Although viewers won't feel the nightmare effects of the horror movie within the instance through the live stream.

However, the scene of Fan Chen watching a horror movie inside the haunted building still made many people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The atmosphere is just too strong.

Now, the audience who left have all returned instantly, and their numbers are even increasing.

During the Red Moon event, what kind of fate awaits this death row inmate player who once achieved a perfect completion?

"It's that cane ghost! He offended that ghost before, and now it's taking revenge!"

"The serial killer will be brought here soon!"

"Don't let these NPC ghosts develop a bad impression of you; that's common sense!"

"In the end, they were still too young."

For most players, the arrival of the Red Moon is the most dangerous moment.

Fan Chen has been locked onto by the dungeon boss, so it's safe to say his chances of survival are slim.

Fang Chao, who was watching the live stream, shook his head dismissively.

"If he had joined the guild sooner, he could have avoided making this mistake."

"Serves you right!"

"It's just a pity about the reward he had..."

Li Qian, who was also watching the live stream, looked nervous and clenched her fists to cheer for Fan Chen.

Through the live stream, the approaching footsteps of the murderer could be clearly heard.

In the dimly lit, reddish corridor, the masked killer, carrying a blood-stained knife, stopped outside the door of room 201.

It reached out to grab the doorknob.

But just then...

Click, the doorknob turned by itself, and Fan Chen pulled the door open first.

Fan Chen and the serial killer face to face.

Fan Chen: Here I am, bro!

He looked the murderer up and down with great interest.

Viewers in the live stream: "?"

No, you actually dared to pull the door open directly...

This is a serial killer! Why is he so proactive?

At least show some respect for the identity of a serial killer!

The killer seemed to pause for a moment, then without any further movement, it raised its blood-stained broadsword and slashed down.

Clang!

Fan Chen instantly raised the tiger-slaying blade in his hand, blocking the slash.

His body swayed slightly, and his hand felt numb.

[Warning! You have been affected by malevolent energy!]

Spirit +13

Maximum Spirit +2

Health +8

Psychic +11

...]

The murderer is a malevolent spirit, and his attacks are always accompanied by malevolent energy.

Even with his resistance to evil spirits, Fan Chen still managed to reap considerable benefits in one go.

At the same time, the killer's physical attacks were also very strong, making Fan Chen feel somewhat strained.

The killer's first strike was blocked, but a second one followed immediately.

[Opening the chest]!

Fan Chen activated the Butcher skill, increasing the power of the Tiger-Slaying Blade several times over.

Clang!

The killer swung his knife to block, but this time it was his figure that was jolted back a few steps.

Fan Chen pressed his advantage and unleashed another cleaving blow, slashing down directly at Fan Chen's face!

The killer hurriedly tried to stop him, and then retaliated with another stab.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In the blink of an eye, Fan Chen and the murderer had exchanged more than a dozen stabs.

The murderer's broadsword clashed with Fan Chen's tiger-slaying blade, sparks flying continuously.

After Fan Chen acquired the Butcher profession, in addition to his physical strength being enhanced, he also gained some combat skills of the Butcher profession.

This allows him to strike more accurately and knows how to maximize the power of the blade.

Its reaction speed has also been improved, allowing it to block the killer's large knife in time.

During this process, the killer's figure kept retreating.

It was being subtly suppressed by Fan Chen!

Inside the live stream room.

"Holy crap, what did I just see?"

"A Red Moon boss of E-rank difficulty, at least level seven, and Fan Chen can actually contend with it?"

"Didn't Fan Chen just complete one dungeon run? Does anyone know what level he is now?"

"The machete in his hand doesn't look like an ordinary object!"

"I heard he's a Butcher, but is the Butcher class that strong?"

Li Qian: "Even with the same profession, different players can have varying levels of strength!"

Inside a villa in Aoyama City.

Fang Chao sat behind his desk, staring at the live stream on the desktop screen.

He was holding a glass of red wine, and was originally watching the live stream while drinking it.

But at this moment, his elegant movements had frozen.

This death row inmate player, whom he looked down upon and despised, was actually so strong in combat?

How could they suppress this murderer?

Could it be that I misjudged him...?

wrong!

Fang Chao stared at the live stream screen and quickly noticed something; his eyes lit up.

"Every attack he makes uses the butcher's skill: disembowelment!"

"This skill consumes stamina!"

"Once your stamina runs out, you'll become powerless!"

Fang Chao put down his wine glass and quickly sent out a series of comments.

Disdain returned to his face.

Fang Chao's judgment was correct.

Each time [Opening the Gut] is used, it consumes 10 points of stamina. Fan Chen's stamina of over 200 points is rapidly decreasing.

The Soul Eater's bizarre attack of devouring the killer primarily amplifies spirit, life, and psionic energy, with very little increase to stamina.

He was already feeling somewhat powerless and exhausted.

It's okay.

Li Hu: Here I come.
