Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

C-level difficulty dungeon: Paper Bride.

As Fan Chen entered the Half Platform subway station, the second team of the Thunder Guild entered this instance.

There were twelve players who entered, all of whom were members of the Thunder Guild.

This is the dungeon that Thunder Guild is currently focusing on conquering.

They were led by Captain Fang Chao, and Ghost Police Officer Li Qian was also in the team.

The instance map is located in a dilapidated mountain village.

It was nighttime.

The rain was pouring down from the sky, the raindrops were red and carried an eerie aura.

The players were hiding in a dilapidated house, using the light of a campfire to keep a tense but orderly watchful eye on their surroundings.

Fang Chao, in the center of the command, still maintained the demeanor of an elite, his hair meticulously combed.

At that moment, he glanced at the time.

"The instance has been running for three hours now..."

A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes behind the glasses.

If the plan is correct, Fan Chen, who is in the half-platform subway station, should be dead by now, right?

The curse of the Grass Granny was something he had secretly obtained by spending a lot of effort.

This strange item, belonging to the 14th level of spirit, is more than enough to deal with Fan Chen, a mere level 7 player.

Most importantly, this cursed straw doll has strict usage requirements; the player's level must be above 14.

Otherwise, once triggered, Granny Grass will attack the user after a certain period of time, regardless of whether the target has been solved!

The player with the buzz cut was too low-level to read the information about the cursed straw doll.

If he uses the cursed straw doll, he will not only kill Fan Chen, but he himself will also be killed by the backlash!

Even if he fails, he will be killed by Granny Grass, leaving no trace.

"I hope he won't let me down."

"As long as Fan Chen dies, the pressure I'm under will disappear."

"Fan Chen, you brought this on yourself!"

A sinister smile crept across Fang Chao's lips.

Suddenly, his expression froze: Li Qian, wearing a tight leather jacket, walked up to him.

Those big eyes were staring at him curiously.

"Fang Chao, what are you laughing at? You seem to have some bad intentions," Li Qian asked, frowning.

"I just thought of something funny," Fang Chao quickly waved his hand.

"real?"

Li Qian's eyes were filled with suspicion: "But your smile was so sinister... Could it be related to Fan Chen?"

"Don't try to fool me. Don't forget I'm a police officer."

The police profession enhances a player's observational skills, allowing them to detect subtle emotional changes.

"Now is not the time for you to make wild guesses!"

Fang Chao quickly composed himself, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Besides, how many times have I told you? You have to call me captain in the dungeon!"

Before Li Qian could say anything more, a teammate suddenly shouted, "Captain, something's wrong!"

In the deep, rainy night, a faint sound of... playing instruments and singing could be heard.

It's supposed to be festive wedding music, but given the current atmosphere, it sounds incredibly eerie.

The players immediately tensed up and crowded around the door of the dilapidated house.

I looked in the direction my teammate had pointed.

A wedding procession emerged from the blood-red rain.

A wedding on a rainy night is already extremely eerie, but what's even more eerie is that there are no people in the procession, but rather paper figures.

Paper replicas of matchmakers, sedan chair bearers, musicians, servants...

The colors are vibrant, and the eerie atmosphere is tinged with a sense of joy.

As the procession drew nearer, the blood-red rain washed away the colors from the paper figures, turning them a ghastly white.

Even the sedan chair carried by the paper figure porters turned white.

The originally festive music began to sound hoarse and grating.

"Watch out, everyone! The paper bride is coming!"

……

Inside the subway, which travels through a dark tunnel.

"Fang Chao?"

Fan Chen looked slightly taken aback, not expecting the curse to be related to Fang Chao.

The flat-headed player was someone he had arranged to use the cursed straw doll on him in the dungeon.

No, what grudge or grievance could lead someone to try and kill him just because he refused to be recruited?

I went through all the trouble of delivering a big gift package to him...

Even though his plan backfired and actually helped a lot, Fan Chen was still somewhat angry.

Fang Chao was clearly there to kill him.

If it weren't for Fan Chen's special talent, he would already be dead!

"He's telling the truth," An Ran thought to Fan Chen. As a psychologist, she could tell whether someone was lying.

The flat-headed player, still suspended in mid-air, continued in terror:

"Fang Chao promised me that as long as I use Granny Grass's curse on you, he can recruit me into the Thunder Guild."

"He even gave me resources... I was bewitched by him, it's all his fault!"

"Fan Chen, Brother Chen, please let me go."

He spilled everything out like beans.

The atmosphere in Fan Chen's live stream seemed even more intense than when he was chasing the vengeful ghost.

"Was Fan Chen cursed by Granny Grass just now, or was it arranged by the Thunder Guild?"

"How could one of the top ten guilds in China act so despicably!"

"Fang Chao? I know him. He's the captain of the second branch of the Thunder Guild!"

"A prestigious guild like yours would actually use such a method to frame a newcomer!"

"We must report this to the Special Administration Bureau and get justice for Brother Chen!"

"The Thunder Guild encountered such a talented player, and not only did they refuse to recruit him, they even framed him. What were they thinking?"

The more than two thousand viewers in the live stream were indignant and condemned the behavior.

At this moment, in the live stream, the player with the buzz cut, who was bound by bandages, suddenly showed an even more terrified expression.

He roared, "Take it away! Don't touch me! Ah—"

With a scream, his body rapidly transformed, his flesh and blood seemingly turning into straw.

Life quickly faded, and its arms fell limply to the ground.

When the bandages were loosened, he had completely turned into a scarecrow, lying on the ground.

"This is Granny Grass's curse... He's been struck by the curse backlash!"

"At his current level, he simply cannot use such a cursed item..."

"Fang Chao not only instructed him to harm Fan Chen, but he also didn't intend for him to survive!"

"Damn, Fang Chao is ruthless!"

"This kind of person is actually a squad leader in the Thunder Guild?"

"Damn it, I was just about to apply to join the Thunder Guild, but I might as well not join this one!"

"Thunder Guild demands an explanation!"

The audience's reaction was even more intense.

Granny Grass is a terrifying ghost in the eerie world.

Just like the bandaged ghost that Anran encountered, it appears in many dungeons.

The cursed straw doll associated with Granny Grass is also quite well-known among players.

So many players guessed how the flat-headed player died.

They also understood Fang Chao's sinister intention to discard them after they had served their purpose.

In the Weird World player forum, a number of new posts quickly appeared, all condemning the Thunder Guild.

Player guilds value their reputation.

Besides skill, reputation is also very important; only in this way can you attract players with potential and strength.

It's not uncommon for players to sabotage each other, but such despicable acts are usually kept secret.

Now that this has been exposed live, Thunder Guild's reputation is ruined.

As for Fang Chao, the person involved... he will probably have to bear even greater pressure.

Inside the train's driver's cab.

"A curse backlash?" Fan Chen frowned as he examined the flat-headed player's corpse, which had turned into a scarecrow.

The cursed straw doll that had fallen from his hands earlier has now decayed and dissipated.

Fan Chen thought of something and glanced at the direction of the live stream's view behind him.

This happened live...

Fang Chao won't have an easy time!

Make sure he doesn't encounter this in the game again.

"How do I get these cursed straw dolls?" Fan Chen then asked Wen Ya, "Do they sell them on the forum's trading platform?"

The effect was so strong that he said he wanted to try it again.

Wenya seemed to have recognized it just now, which is why she asked that question.

"These items can only be obtained in specific dungeons, and most players keep them for their own use after obtaining them."

The short fortune teller, who was staring blankly at the scarecrow, answered.

She looked at Fan Chen with a somewhat bewildered expression: the person behind Fan Chen was actually Granny Cao.

But not only was he unharmed, he became even stronger...

"Then I can only hope to encounter a relevant instance," Fan Chen thought regretfully.

Of course, if you don't have a cursed straw doll, other cursed items will do, since the Soul Eater isn't picky.

We need to be more careful about these kinds of things in the future.

At that moment, An Ran's voice rang in his mind: "Boss, look ahead."

Through the driver's cab window, Fan Chen saw a white light appear ahead of the tunnel.

The train is about to leave the darkness.

They had been on the subway for fifteen minutes.

"We're going to leave successfully? And... a perfect victory?" Wenya exclaimed excitedly, clenching her fists secretly.

She knew that following Fan Chen would definitely bring benefits!

The distorted figure of the bandaged female ghost appeared in Fan Chen's peripheral vision.

An mix of excitement and trepidation welled up in Fan Chen's heart.

In a fleeting moment, Fan Chen seemed to see the unshaven half-platform stationmaster standing on one side of the tunnel.

She was waving goodbye to him.

The subway train pulled into the light ahead.

"I wonder what kind of exclusive reward I'll get for this perfect clear?"

"And... I should be able to enter the Red Rose Restaurant now, right?"
