Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

The tunnel was dark and deep, with only a small beam of light from a flashlight sweeping across the surroundings.

Viewers in the live stream could clearly see a pair of legs dangling down from above.

But when the flashlight beam swept across the area again, the legs had vanished.

Fan Chen did not notice the appearance and disappearance of those legs.

Some well-informed viewers in the live stream had already guessed what it was: a hanged ghost!

There's a hanged ghost here, and it's already got its eye on Fan Chen!

Fan Chen was completely unaware and continued walking along the railway tracks deeper into the tunnel.

Then, the legs reappeared.

It appeared above Fan Chen's head, even closer to him.

All the audience members couldn't help but hold their breath.

Huh? Inside the tunnel, Fan Chen didn't see the legs, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the bandaged female ghost appearing beside him.

Its contorted posture, resembling that of a person suffering from severe cerebral thrombosis, conveyed a sense of urgency.

The bandaged hand was pointing upwards at Fan Chen.

Almost instantly, Fan Chen realized what had happened.

Swish! Fan Chen tilted his head back and unleashed a [Gut-Opening] strike.

He saw the legs dangling in mid-air, but the crimson crescent passed right through them, as if it had only struck an illusion.

The legs then disappeared.

"Hanged ghost..."

Fan Chen wasn't too surprised. The stationmaster had hanged himself in the tunnel, so it was perfectly normal for it to become a hanged ghost.

It seems to be unable to detect any hostility!

Fortunately, Fan Chen had the bandaged female ghost by his side to guide him.

Fan Chen recalled the descriptions of these kinds of ghosts from the forum:

Hanged ghosts belong to the category of cursed ghosts and possess the characteristics of earth-binding spirits, meaning they can only move within specific areas.

The attack method is to hang the player.

If Fan Chen hadn't fought back in time, he would have been hanged with a noose around his neck.

The legs that appeared before him were just an illusion.

Its true form remains hidden, making it difficult to attack using normal methods.

However, the forum also mentioned that when players are hung up, they will face the hanged ghost in person.

Because the hanged ghost will appear in front of the player, enjoying the player's pain, fear, and despair as they are hung up.

That's their favorite thing.

This is also the best time to attack them.

Players should be careful, though, they might actually get hanged...

"When players are suspended, they will not only suffer physical damage, but also be subjected to terrifying and bizarre attacks."

"The player's health will rapidly decline."

"A terrifying, bizarre attack...?"

Fan Chen recalled the information about the hanged ghost and made up his mind.

Fan Chen: I'd like to try this hanging attack and see if it's powerful enough and ruthless enough!

He continued to explore the dark tunnel, searching his surroundings, seemingly completely unconcerned about the hanged ghost.

But before the hanged ghost could reappear, he suddenly realized something.

Stop and shine your flashlight toward one side of the tunnel.

There is a simple altar here, with portrait photos arranged against the wall.

The room was surrounded by bunches of dried flowers, burnt candles, and some blessing cards.

Fan Chen realized what this was.

An accident occurred in this tunnel, resulting in the deaths of 135 passengers. As a result, people spontaneously gathered here to commemorate the victims.

Fan Chen walked to the altar, squatted down, and carefully examined the photos.

The viewers in the live stream were feeling fortunate that Fan Chen had dodged the hanged ghost's attack.

But seeing him squatting in front of the altar, looking at those photos, they all became nervous again.

He completely exposed his back to the darkness behind him!

"Holy crap, there's a hanged ghost here, and you still dare to stare at its portrait!"

"Does this player have absolutely no fear?"

"You should be watching what's behind you! Damn, I'm worried sick for you!"

"Watching him play the game is even scarier than doing it myself!"

"My brother Chen is awesome!"

Fan Chen wasn't being careless; he was deliberately giving the hanged ghost an opportunity to attack him.

Of course, he did hope to glean some clues from these photos.

The photos of the altar were all grayish-white, and the people on them were staring blankly at Fan Chen.

They were smiling, serious, or calm.

Regardless of their expression, they all carried a deathly numbness.

When Fan Chen's gaze fell upon these photos, he was immediately affected by the curse.

Spirit +2

Psychic +5

Health +2

……

These are all portraits of the deceased, carrying resentment and curses, but not intensely.

Fan Chen looked through them one by one, and among them he saw some familiar faces, or rather, familiar ghosts.

Some physical features of the ghost passenger can be vaguely discerned.

He silently counted and confirmed that there were 135 photos in total, which corresponded exactly to the victims of the subway accident.

but……

"That little girl isn't in any of these photos!"

"The little girl...wasn't she a victim of the subway accident?"

……

Inside the subway car after leaving the subway station.

Actress Li Yue, who had returned to normal, suddenly woke up.

He looked around in astonishment, and upon realizing where he was, he was immediately plunged into fear and despair.

"How could this happen... I was playing the ghost passenger, and then at the end of the red moon period, I was controlled and forced into the subway?"

Li Yue was secretly annoyed.

As an actor, he was certainly aware of the drawbacks of the profession.

There's one fundamental principle that must be followed in this profession: Remember, you're just acting!

Actors must always keep this belief in mind to avoid getting too immersed in their roles and actually becoming ghosts.

And he has already made this terrible mistake!

Taking a deep breath, Li Yue suppressed her fear and scanned her surroundings with her eyes.

The ghost passengers were either standing or sitting in various parts of the carriage, and did not show any hostility towards him.

They have shed their tragic death appearance and are now going about their business like normal subway passengers.

They were all pale and lifeless.

Li Yue subtly used her acting skills to cover her skin with a layer of grayish-white, thus playing the role of a ghost.

At first glance, he is now almost indistinguishable from the other ghost passengers.

"The train will return to the subway station in fifty minutes."

"Maybe, just maybe, then I'll be able to leave this place."

Li Yue trembled as she tried to calm herself down.

But just then, he suddenly felt someone tug at his trouser leg.

He looked down in fear and saw that it was a little girl of four or five years old.

She had pale skin, wore a white dress, and had her hair in pigtails; she was squatting beside his legs.

Her face was covered in tears, and she looked pitiful.

"Uncle, I'm so scared... Can you take me away from here?" she cried.

Li Yue's body suddenly tensed up.

What the hell is this?!

He wanted to pretend he didn't care about the other person.

But the little girl kept gripping his trouser leg, refusing to let go, repeating what she had just said.

"Okay, okay," Li Yue could only soothe her in a trembling voice, "Uncle will take you away later, okay?"

"You're lying!"

The little girl's voice suddenly became colder and sharper.

It stood up, its feet left the ground, and floated up.

Her white dress was quickly stained with a patch of blood.

Her pale face, which had been pitiful, turned vicious and ferocious.

"You can't help me; this subway is headed for its inevitable destruction."

It spoke, but it was no longer the original child's voice.

It was like countless voices, from men, women, the elderly, and children, their voices overlapping and blending together.

"You'll die here too!"

The terrifying aura made Li Yue's body go limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

His grayish-white skin seemed to have become even whiter.

"A...a vengeful ghost!"

……

Inside the dark and deep tunnel.

Fan Chen squatted in front of the altar, frowning: among the 135 photos in front of him, there was no little girl on the subway.

Where did that little girl come from?

Fan Chen suddenly remembered the feeling he had when he saw the little girl.

The other person's eyes, nose, and mouth are all very beautiful and delicate, but when put together, they create an inexplicable sense of disharmony.

"It...is not a specific deceased person."

"Or is it a special ghost formed from the combined resentment of all the passengers who died in the subway accident?"

"A collection of the deceased's resentment!"

hiss……

Such a ghost must be extremely ferocious!

While Fan Chen was catching his breath after figuring out the little girl's background.

The viewers in the live stream also gasped: Look behind you!

Those legs reappeared behind Fan Chen!

Fan Chen, in the subway tunnel, once again saw the bandaged female ghost's hint in his peripheral vision.

The hanged ghost has appeared!

This time, however, he did not react; he simply raised his hand and covered his neck.

The next moment, I felt a tightness on the back of my hand, as if a rope had been put around my neck.

With the immense drag force, his body was lifted into the air.

He was hung up.

In the live stream, the flashlight beam shone down from above, obscuring Fan Chen's figure.

All that could be seen were Fan Chen's dangling legs, side by side with the hanged ghost's legs...

In the dark tunnel.

After Fan Chen was hung up, the complete image of the hanged ghost appeared before his eyes.

The middle-aged man with a stubble beard and purplish-blue skin had his eyes bulging out because his neck was being hoisted up.

His face was contorted with rage as he stared intently at Fan Chen.

Fan Chen: Oh, you're hanging there.
