Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

Chapter 39 You're Haunted by a Female Ghost!

Fan Chen triggered the eerie effect of the female celebrity poster, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a female ghost wrapped in bandages.

He wasn't panicked; instead, he was quite excited.

He turned back and secretly observed what was behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Soon, the bandaged female ghost that had disappeared reappeared, approaching Fan Chen in a twisted and bizarre posture.

This time, Fan Chen saw things more clearly.

Its face was also wrapped in bandages, with parts of its brownish-red, scarred skin faintly visible.

It looked as if he had been in a fire and his body had been burned over a large area.

Fan Chen thought of the words at the bottom of the poster: "The ugly monster whose face has been disfigured."

The handwriting looks like it was deliberately written with malice and sarcasm.

The bandaged female ghost is a female celebrity haunted by resentment after suffering a disfigurement accident.

Fan Chen quietly activated his alert skill, but he did not detect the presence of the bandaged female ghost in his senses.

It doesn't seem to be hostile towards me?

Fan Chen was somewhat surprised, then looked at Wen Ya.

The short girl with glasses held her divination cards, her face filled with deep doubt.

"If you're a fortune teller, your perception must be very strong, right?" Fan Chen asked.

"That's right."

Wen Ya nodded quickly, without hiding anything:

"The prerequisite for becoming a fortune teller is having a strong sense of inspiration."

"And I possess an A-level talent: enhanced inspiration."

"I have a natural ability to sense some hidden, mysterious auras."

She wore a rather proud expression.

"Can you see the female ghost behind me?" Fan Chen asked, pointing to the bandaged female ghost standing strangely beside him.

"A female ghost?" Wenya was startled.

How can you be so calm as to say something like that?

He hurriedly looked behind Fan Chen and adjusted his glasses.

But she quickly shook her head: "I...I can't see."

Fan Chen's expression grew increasingly suspicious. "The divination said my survival rate was 130%, and he claims to have extraordinary intuition, yet he can't even see this huge female ghost right next to me..."

Is your profession as a fortune teller a bit too good?

"You, you can really see female ghosts?" Wenya asked with concern.

She sensed that Fan Chen was increasingly doubting her abilities, so she quickly tried to salvage the situation and demonstrate her value:

"Did you trigger something?"

"There is a type of ghost that can only be detected by the player who triggers the corresponding curse; no one else can do anything about it."

"Be careful, that female ghost has already haunted you."

Ghosts that can only be seen by players who have triggered the curse?

Fan Chen had indeed seen this claim on the forum; the bandaged female ghost was this type.

These types of cursed ghosts are usually the most dangerous.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the bandaged female ghost's distorted figure getting closer to Fan Chen.

Its bandaged hand reached out, about to touch Fan Chen's shoulder.

Fan Chen's expression remained calm and composed.

He brandished the tiger-slaying sword in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

The bandaged female ghost's distorted figure suddenly froze.

Then, under Fan Chen's peripheral vision, it twisted and turned away from Fan Chen in a distorted and bizarre manner.

They retreated step by step back to the wall.

Fan Chen: ?

Come here!

"How is it?" the fortune teller girl asked with concern.

Fan Chen glanced at the bandaged female ghost out of the corner of his eye and said with some regret, "It seems a little shy..."

"Shy?" Wenya asked, looking puzzled.

Fan Chen tried to approach the bandaged female ghost, but the ghost seemed to be afraid of him and retreated on her own.

She maintained a distance from Fan Chen, yet she didn't disappear.

"Is it planning to attack me when I'm not paying attention?" Fan Chen deduced in his mind.

Then he thought of the information displayed in the Fengdu Daily.

In the subway station, besides the player, there are other passengers who want to leave.

And is the bandaged female ghost one of the other passengers who wanted to leave?

Besides it, there are probably other similar ghosts in the subway station.

Thinking of this, Fan Chen subconsciously glanced around at the empty subway station.

All the players were cautiously exploring the platform.

At that very moment, the masked female player who had accidentally triggered the bottle curse was standing on the edge of the platform, looking down at the railway tracks.

Her eyes suddenly twitched slightly as she noticed that a few strands of hair seemed to be tangled in the gaps between the rails.

There were also some dried pieces of flesh and blood, and a tattered red dress.

It's as if someone once accidentally jumped onto the tracks and was mercilessly crushed by the subway.

The woman with the mask realized what it was, and was first startled, then delighted.

This is definitely an important clue!

Perhaps we can discover some important information or acquire powerful and mysterious items through this.

However, the masked woman glanced at the display screen not far away: more than forty minutes had passed since the dungeon started, and the subway would arrive in a few minutes.

"We'll investigate this clue later!"

The masked woman glanced warily at the other players before making her decision.

She chose to keep this information from the other players.

In games where life and death are at stake, players should be a little selfish—that's always been her motto.

Then, she pretended nothing had happened and walked away to another place.

But suddenly, when her peripheral vision swept over that section of the platform again, her body trembled slightly.

A figure was standing at the edge of the platform. It was a girl, and she was swaying from side to side as if she were drunk.

It seemed as if it could plunge headfirst into the railway tracks at any moment.

Its black hair was disheveled, and it was wearing a red dress...

The woman wearing a mask quickly turned her head to look directly at the platform, but it was completely empty.

But when she looked in other directions, the girl's figure was clearly reflected in her peripheral vision.

"This...this is a ghost!"

The woman wearing a mask immediately tensed up.

Other players seemed unable to see the female ghost.

At that moment, out of the masked woman's peripheral vision, she saw the red-dressed female ghost swaying her body.

Suddenly, he turned his head towards her, revealing a broken face.

It started to sway and moved closer to the masked woman...

The display screen showed that the train would arrive at the station in one minute.

Even without prior knowledge of the rules, most players can predict that the Red Moon event is very likely to begin when the train arrives at the station.

All the players were nervously preparing.

Su Wanwan and her sycophant stood in a corner of the subway station.

The flat-headed player, who had been cursed by the bottle and was now in a drunken state, rubbed his head and sat up from the recliner.

Fan Chen then walked to the center of the platform.

He looked at the deep, terrifying tunnel with a hint of anticipation.

He couldn't wait to test the power of the evolved Tiger-Slaying Blade.

The bandaged female ghost remained out of his sight, and he did not approach her rashly.

The fortune teller, Wenya, quickly used that strange deck of cards to perform a divination on herself.

"This place will become extremely dangerous once the subway arrives."

"And the safest place... is right next to Fan Chen!"

With a flash of red and white in her eyes, she came to a conclusion.

This made her hesitate, because Fan Chen was standing in the center of the platform.

When the subway arrives at the station, we'll be confronted with something eerie on the train...

However, her trust in her own divination led her to make up her mind.

"Why didn't he find shelter but stood in the middle of the platform? Was it because he knew from the items in his hands that it would be safe there?"

She still chose to stand not far from Fan Chen.

Following Fan Chen's lead is the right thing to do!

Fan Chen glanced at her and couldn't help but laugh.

Fan Chen: This is your own choice; you're going to stay by my side.

The countdown on the screen reached zero.

The subway station, which was originally dimly lit, suddenly lit up with crimson warning lights, which flashed continuously, casting a crimson glow over the station.

The red moon cannot be seen from the half-platform subway station, but the red warning lights have replaced it.

Under the red lights, the already dilapidated subway station looked even more run-down.

A chilling electronic announcement rang out: "Attention, this subway train is arriving at the station soon. Passengers wishing to board, please prepare to proceed!"

Boom! Boom! Amidst the shaking of the ground, two red lights appeared in the left tunnel, resembling a terrifying behemoth.

The subway train, with its mottled exterior, pulled up and stopped in front of the platform.

It has four carriages, and through the glass windows you can see that they are full of passengers.

These passengers all had bizarre and terrifying appearances, with their bodies broken and covered in blood and gore.

Some of them were still engulfed in flames.

Ghostly.

They were victims of a tragic accident!

[Warning: The Red Moon has arrived! Ghost passengers are about to enter the platform. Players must resist for ten minutes!]

A system notification appears in front of the player.

In this instance, during the Red Moon event, players will face the ghost passengers who tragically died in the accident.

All the players tensed up.

Wen Ya hid behind Fan Chen, only a few meters away from him.

The subway doors slowly opened.

One by one, strangely shaped ghost passengers emerged.

They moved slowly, their figures swaying, but soon, as if they had sensed the players' presence, they began to stir.

"I want to get off..."

"I need to leave the subway..."

They murmured like starving ghosts and pounced on the players.

Like the starving ghosts, the ghost passengers are remnants of souls, driven only by their obsessions and instincts.

And among them, the first to attack was... Fan Chen!

After all, he was standing in the most conspicuous position.

The swarming ghost passengers instantly surrounded Fan Chen and Wen Ya.

Wenya: ?

Where is the safest place I was promised?

Fan Chen glanced at Wen Ya with amusement.

I'm not standing here because it's safe.

Rather, it's because I want to harvest as many ghost passengers as possible...

Your divination skills are really terrible.

These thoughts flashed through Fan Chen's mind, and the Tiger-Slaying Blade in his hand gleamed with a blood-red light as he slashed at the ghost passengers who were rushing towards him.

[Opening the chest]!
