Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

Fan Chen returned to room 201 and took out five pieces of photograph fragments.

As he pieced the fragments together.

[Warning: This is a cursed photo.]

Spirit Level: 5

Effect: Holding it allows you to find hidden objects. Staring at the photograph will deplete your spirit and life force.

With the prompts, the fragments are pieced together to form a complete photograph.

The photo was still blurry, but Fan Chen focused his attention on it.

[Warning: You are under the influence of a curse.]

Spirit +4

Health +4

Psychic +3

...]

As the curse turned into a positive boost, the blurry image in the photo quickly became clear in Fan Chen's vision.

Fan Chen saw... a withered tree with twisted branches, its trunk menacing and terrifying.

"Is that a dead tree in the photo? Is there something important hidden near that dead tree?"

"This dead tree..."

Fan Chen stared at the withered tree for a few moments and vaguely felt that it looked familiar.

He must have seen it not long ago.

Suddenly, Fan Chen's eyes lit up as he remembered something.

"I encountered a tree like this outside when I was doing the security guard trial mission!"

Fan Chen almost crashed into that tree at the time, so it left a deep impression on him!

It turns out it contained an important clue.

In the eerie dungeons, important clues always seem to slip by unnoticed.

Fan Chen thought of the rose head in the Red Rose Restaurant.

He immediately prepared to set off to find the tree, and coincidentally, he also wanted to farm some more Shadow Monsters!

"Brother Chen."

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Muchen rushed over: "Have you found any important clues?"

"Yes." Fan Chen nodded. "We have to thank you a lot this time."

He spoke very sincerely, even though when he first met Zhou Muchen, he thought he would only be a burden and didn't want to pay attention to him.

But Zhou Muchen went on to prove his worth.

It was because of him that Fan Chen was able to find the photo fragments.

Fan Chen remembered this favor.

"I'm glad I could help you." Zhou Muchen was overjoyed; he was determined to cling to this powerful figure.

Fan Chen, realizing something, instructed, "Mu Chen, the dungeon might get very dangerous later, you'd better hide first."

At the Red Rose Restaurant, after Fan Chen triggered the hidden quest, the red moon began to fall continuously.

This instance will likely remain the same.

"Okay, I'll go back to room 501 now and never come out again." Zhou Muchen nodded repeatedly.

He was secretly pleased. This was the first time Fan Chen had directly addressed him as "Mu Chen," which meant he recognized him!

Seeing Zhou Muchen hurriedly run back upstairs, Fan Chen came to the lobby and took out a flashlight.

He successfully pushed open the glass door and stepped into the dark mist outside.

Other players cannot leave the building; only those with the security guard profession can leave successfully.

The flashlight cast a small beam of light, which swayed in the darkness as Fan Chen moved.

Fan Chen's face showed no fear, but rather anticipation.

He quickly spotted the furtive figure out of the corner of his eye.

The Shadow Monster has indeed reappeared!

These nightmare creatures lurk in the darkness, move nimbly, and are adept at attacking players from blind spots.

Last time, Fan Chen used complete darkness to lure the Shadow Monster into a direct attack, which gave him the opportunity to kill one.

And now...

Swish!

Fan Chen suddenly grabbed the Tiger-Slaying Saber, turned around swiftly, and slashed behind him.

[Warning: You have killed a Shadow Monster!]

[Psionic Power +80]

The moment the shadow monster attacked Fan Chen, Fan Chen struck first and killed it.

Although the shadow monster is eerie and terrifying, it is only a remnant soul-level ghost, which can be killed with a single strike.

Fan Chen was able to resolve the issue so easily because he activated the [Alert] skill after leaving the building.

After the shadow monster appeared, it was inherently hostile to Fan Chen, and Fan Chen could clearly perceive its every move.

In addition, the enhanced physique of the Butcher class allowed Fan Chen to seize the opportunity and counterattack the moment it attacked.

"The Vigilance skill is perfect for killing Shadow Monsters!" Fan Chen exclaimed.

In fact, Fan Chen had wanted to try this when he completed the security guard trial.

He continued forward through the dark mist and soon sensed the shadow monster's presence again.

Shadow monsters will keep spawning!

Fan Chen's eyes lit up; it seemed he could happily grind some experience points.

For the next half hour or so.

Psychic power +80 +80...

Fan Chen was attacked by seven or eight shadow monsters in succession, and he killed them one after another by relying on his vigilance skill.

There were only a few times when they missed their chance and were attacked by the shadow monster, allowing them to escape successfully.

But it's okay.

Even if you hit me, it will still give me a positive boost, so I won't lose either way.

The only thing that Fan Chen was not satisfied with was...

"Can Shadow Monsters only spawn one at a time?"

"Couldn't you have spawned a few more?"

"Or maybe a few stronger Shadow Creatures would be fine too," he muttered to himself.

The viewers in the live stream were quite agitated when they heard his complaints.

One Shadow Monster isn't scary enough?

You're still complaining that it doesn't appear often enough or that it's not strong enough!

Following the same path as before, Fan Chen quickly found the dead tree.

It originally appeared to be a landscape tree in the community, but it gradually withered and died due to neglect.

Fan Chen only caught a glimpse of it last time, but now, upon closer inspection, he realized that its shape was truly bizarre.

With its strong branches and cracked bark, the tree resembles a ghostly claw reaching towards the sky.

It seemed as if some strange thing was trying to crawl out from beneath the earth...

"What secret is hidden here?"

Fan Chen first circled the withered tree, but found nothing.

He took out the photo, shone a flashlight on it, examined it closely, found the location where the photo was taken, and stood there.

He had just stood still when the photograph in his hand suddenly turned to ashes and disappeared.

It was as if it had already completed its mission.

Then Fan Chen's eyes suddenly trembled as he saw a masked, blood-stained killer appear under the withered tree.

The sudden appearance of the dungeon boss startled the viewers in the live stream.

While surprised, Fan Chen also felt a sense of familiarity.

While killing shadow monsters can be quite rewarding, it's nothing compared to killing a serial killer.

Fan Chen: I actually prefer you.

But just as Fan Chen was about to rush over and start fighting, he discovered that the murderer in front of him seemed to have no hostility.

It pointed its large sword at a spot below it, and then vanished in a flash.

"Is this a clue that there's something there?"

Fan Chen walked over, activated the alert to guard against potential dangers, and bent down to examine the ground.

What's buried down there?

Only by collecting all the photos, arriving here, and receiving guidance from the killer can one successfully find it.

Fan Chen hesitated slightly, then used the Tiger-Slaying Blade as a shovel and began digging into the ground.

Soon, a bundle of tattered cloth wrapped together was dug out.

Fan Chen used the blade to pick out the wad of cloth.

He could sense that something was wrapped inside that tattered cloth.

"Could what's wrapped in this cloth be body parts of victim 602?" Fan Chensheng wondered.

He activated his Spirit Eye and continued to use the knife to pull back the cloth.

An ancient-looking mask appeared before me.

There was only one mask.

Fan Chen recognized the mask... it was the same one worn by the murderer!

Fan Chen was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, he made an attempt, reaching out and slowly touching the mask.

The moment his fingers touched her, he felt a chill, and a phantom scene appeared before his eyes.

"Don't kill me... please don't kill me..."

He heard a mournful cry, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar—the mournful cry of the lingering spirit of the victim in room 602.

Furthermore, the sound seemed to come from Fan Chen himself...

Or rather, he was entering the perspective of the deceased in room 602, reliving the memories left behind by the deceased before his death.

This memory did not trigger the Devourer's Devouring effect.

In his somewhat blurry and dim vision, Fan Chen saw several figures standing in front of him.

It was the ghost resident inside the building who was chattering away.

The cane ghost: "I told you to be quiet when you walk and put things down, why didn't you listen?"

The old woman said slyly, "My dear grandson was just a little naughty; he pushed you down the stairs, and you dared to hit him!"

Little Fairy Ghost: "You disgusting pervert! You stalked and secretly photographed me. Don't think you can get away with it by deleting the photos!"

Old Wang Gui: "I was just taking a walk with my sister-in-law in the woods, and you're accusing us of having an affair!"

The cuckolded man: "What business is it of yours, an outsider, with my family's affairs? Are you trying to make a fool of me? I'll kill you!"

A series of venomous voices spoke incessantly, radiating a chilling malice.

Fan Chen's mind raced.

The Fengdu Daily reported that the resident of apartment 602 was the first person to die in the building.

But it didn't say that it was killed by a serial killer.

It seems that it was killed by several other families who joined forces because of some trivial grudges.

That murderer... could he be the victim from room 602?

Its resentment lingered after its death, and it transformed into a murderous monster.

Fan Chen wasn't actually surprised by this result; he had already anticipated it.

At this moment, in the scene of the deceased's memory, a hand reaches out from the corner of the field of vision.

The hand was holding a mask.

The mask fell over Fan Chen's face, or rather, the face of the deceased.

At the same time, a voice with a strange emphasis said:

"Hate, be angry, and die with these extreme emotions."

"I will accept your soul."

"I will turn you into a vengeful ghost."

This voice doesn't belong to any of the ghosts in the building!

Is there another hidden ghost in the dungeon?
