Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

[Reminder: There are several unseen passengers in the half-platform subway station. Only players who trigger specific conditions can see them in their peripheral vision.]

They will kill this player and take their place.

As the masked woman's head fell off, her body disintegrated into a pool of flesh, emitting a strong smell of blood.

It looked as if it had been run over by a train.

A red dress can be seen in the mud.

A notification also appeared in front of all players at the same time.

This rule was discovered because of the death of the female player wearing a mask.

The female player wearing a mask triggered a condition where she was targeted by a female ghost in a red dress, and was killed by the ghost when the red moon descended, taking her place.

But once its identity is discovered, its disguise seems to fall apart automatically.

"She...she's already dead!"

"No wonder I always felt something was wrong with her; her body kept shaking."

"Besides those ghost passengers, there are other ghosts in this instance!"

Su Wanwan and her sycophants all changed their expressions drastically.

Li Yue and Wen Ya also looked very uncomfortable.

Of course, Wenya had already guessed that there were hidden ghosts in the subway station.

After all, Fan Chen had mentioned before that he could see female ghosts lingering around him.

The reason Wenya looked unhappy was... her divination failed again!

Li Yue is indeed not a ghost; he is just an actor.

But the female player wearing a mask was already dead.

Wasn't she completely wrong to have predicted that eight players would survive?

"I couldn't possibly misinterpret this divination..." she said, her face filled with self-doubt.

Inside the management room, a pile of body parts lay scattered on the floor.

The players felt nauseous and quickly left the room.

"It seems that in this instance, if a player does something and triggers a condition, they might be targeted by a group of hidden ghosts."

Actor Li Yue said, "You'd better not do anything unnecessary."

Su Wanwan and the others tensed up, subconsciously looking around before quickly averting their gazes, no longer daring to look around.

Suddenly, they saw that Fan Chen was still in the management office.

He was still staring at the shattered head at his feet.

"Fan Chen, you'd better be careful."

Li Yue couldn't help but remind her, "That ghost in the red dress is definitely still nearby. Be careful not to trigger the conditions that lure it to you!"

"Yes, I understand," Fan Chen said calmly.

He pointed to the head at his feet: "If you stare at this pile of rotten flesh for too long, you will be targeted by the female ghost in the red dress."

The other players were all taken aback when they heard Fan Chen say that.

"How...how did you know?" Wenya asked in shock.

"Because it has already set its sights on me," Fan Chen said, looking up.

He turned his head to the side, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figure of the female ghost in the red dress.

It was standing outside the management room, in the middle of several players, swaying its body continuously.

Other players are completely unaware of it, and even when they touch it, their bodies simply pass right through it.

The female ghost in the red dress seemed to be just a phantom.

Fan Chen then looked at the screen on the side that showed the restoration of real-time monitoring.

The surveillance video covered the entire subway station, but it couldn't show the restrooms or the management office.

But you can see the door to the control room.

You can clearly see the female ghost in the red dress standing in the middle of the players.

The bandaged female ghost stood further away, seemingly watching the female ghost in the red dress.

"It's standing right here among you," Fan Chen said, pointing to the female ghost in the dress.

Several players: "!"

They fled in terror from the direction of the door.

"He's been haunted by a second female ghost..." Wen Ya couldn't help but feel a chill for Fan Chen.

Then she suddenly realized something.

Fan Chen had already triggered the conditions and was being targeted by a female ghost.

But he never got into trouble...

He has a way to subdue these unseen ghosts!

Fan Chen ignored the other players and began searching the management room on his own.

He did not go to see the ghost in the red dress again.

It's not that he doesn't care at all; even if there are spirit eaters, he won't completely let his guard down around ghosts.

But he discovered something: in his alert perception, the female ghost in the red dress was emitting malice towards him, which could be clearly sensed!

Fan Chen could completely control his every move.

"The bandaged female ghost and the red-skirted female ghost should be the same type of ghost."

"I can sense the malice of the woman in the red dress, but I can't sense the bandaged woman's..."

"The bandaged female ghost really meant me no harm at all?"

Fan Chen made a guess in his mind and rummaged through the desk in the management office.

Soon, his eyes were drawn to a newspaper on a desk.

Fengdu Daily!

This appears to be a very popular newspaper or magazine in Fengdu City.

The document Fan Chen has discovered is not a strange item; it's just an ordinary newspaper.

But it contained important clues:

A major accident occurred at the Half Platform subway station, with the death toll reaching 135!

This should be the "tragic accident" mentioned in the dungeon description.

Fan Chen carefully read the text in the newspaper.

The accident occurred because the station management department of the half-platform section failed to detect the debris falling onto the tracks in time due to dereliction of duty.

This caused the subway to derail, resulting in a disaster.

The newspaper mentioned that the stationmaster of the half-platform in this accident bears significant responsibility.

He had a long-term drinking problem, and the accident occurred because he was drunk and neglected his duties.

The employees under his command were slacking off and failed to complete the maintenance work.

This led to a major mistake.

Following the accident, the station manager and a group of employees of the half-platform were severely punished and subjected to verbal and written criticism.

The news report concluded by mentioning that the stationmaster, unable to bear the pangs of conscience, secretly returned to the abandoned half-platform subway station and hanged himself in the tunnel.

"The alcoholic stationmaster..."

Fan Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out and touched the wine bottle in his pocket.

Could the "drunkard" mentioned in the information center about the wine bottle be this very website administrator?

Overwhelmed with guilt and remorse, he hanged himself in the tunnel of the Half Platform subway station.

Fan Chen returned to the monitoring station and pulled up a chair to sit down.

He operated the control panel, brought up the recorded video, and began to review it.

The surveillance video was replayed back to the beginning of the game.

However, the console display shows that there is another monitoring video clip, positioned earlier in the timeline.

Fan Chen continued to adjust the screen and play the surveillance video.

Warning: You have been affected by a curse!

Spirit +12

Health +6

Endurance +9

...]

Watching this surveillance video, Fan Chen began to suffer a curse.

Just like watching TV in the Midnight Serial Killer instance.

Fan Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile.

The level 3 gutting skill consumes 20 stamina points per use.

In addition, the vigilance and spirit-detecting eyes are kept active.

Although he had an enhanced version of Li Hu's charger, his attributes had still been significantly depleted after the battle, and he was not at his peak.

Now that's good, we can fill in the attribute values ​​first.

Fan Chen's gaze fell on the monitor screen, and he continued watching.

The screen was dim and flickering.

In the empty subway station, a man with a stubble and a dejected look was sitting on a bench, drinking his wine in silence.

He quickly finished the bottle and casually threw it on the ground.

—This is the very bottle with the curse of drunkenness!

The half-platform stationmaster really is that drunkard!

The wine bottle, bearing the stationmaster's regret, has become a curse!

In the video, the half-platform stationmaster stood up, staggered towards the platform, and jumped off the tracks.

Continue walking into the tunnel on the left.

In the surveillance video, his figure was quickly swallowed by darkness, and the video ended there.

Fan Chen's basic attributes have also been almost fully restored.

[Reminder: You have triggered a hidden quest, The Half-Platform Station Master's Confession.]

Unable to bear the inner torment, the half-platform stationmaster committed suicide in the tunnel.

But it still cannot find peace; please help it.

"A hidden quest has been triggered!" Fan Chen's eyes lit up with joy.

The half-platform stationmaster was indeed the drunkard, whose alcoholism caused a major accident.

Even committing suicide in a tunnel cannot bring peace.

The task is to help him find peace...

"It seems I need to explore the tunnel where the half-platform stationmaster committed suicide," Fan Chen thought to himself.

His attention suddenly shifted to his side.

While Fan Chen was searching for clues and reviewing the surveillance footage, the female ghost in the red dress was constantly in his peripheral vision, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

It kept swaying its body, gradually closing the distance between itself and Fan Chen.

Now we've finally reached a point where we're only one meter away from Fan Chen.

It has always exuded malice towards Fan Chen.

"Let's deal with this female ghost first!" Fan Chen had already picked up the Tiger-Slaying Blade.

The swaying figure of the female ghost in the red dress drew closer.

It stretched out its scarred arm and grabbed Fan Chen's shoulder.

Seemingly wanting to do the same as the female player with the mask, she pressed her body against Fan Chen's.

Fan Chen was ready to draw his sword.

But just then, bandages stained with blood suddenly spread from one side and wrapped around the red-dressed female ghost's body.

The image of the bandaged female ghost appeared.

The bandages on its body were wriggling like tentacles.

The woman in the red dress seemed to let out a silent roar, her fingers extending sharp nails as she turned to grab at the bandaged woman.

The two female ghosts clashed in the corner of Fan Chen's eye.

Fan Chen: "?"

Wait, why are you two female ghosts fighting?
