Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

With the prompt, Fan Chen, who was lying on the bed, found himself in an unfamiliar place after a bout of dizziness.

It was nighttime, and the surrounding area was a dark and gloomy forest, filled with wisps of mist.

The sky was clear, but the moonlight was rather dim, making it difficult to see anything.

Fan Chen was surrounded by other players; they had been teleported together.

Including Fan Chen, there were ten people in total, all of whom were cautiously and nervously surveying their surroundings.

Not far from them stood a GG sign.

The above is an old cartoon drawing, and the cursive GG language is still faintly recognizable:

Red Leaf Leisure Camp welcomes you.

This campsite is located 30 miles north of Fengdu City, with beautiful scenery, making it a great place for leisure and vacation.

Someone used red paint to write another line of large characters on it: "Run! There's a ghost here!"

Fan Chen: Isn't that obvious?

Next to the GG sign is a path that extends into the depths of the forest.

In the hazy mist, a faint light could be seen; that must be the so-called Red Leaf Leisure Camp.

The players observed their surroundings, all wary of each other, as they were strangers to one another.

Many people also turned their attention to Fan Chen.

Clearly, they recognized the death row inmate who had completed the game perfectly three times.

Fan Chen also looked at them, wondering with interest which one of them was Mo Xiaohua, whom Li Qian had mentioned.

As fellow death row inmates and serial killers, Fan Chen naturally had something to worry about.

Other players remained wary of Fan Chen, while others showed some enthusiasm.

A player dressed in a suit and wearing a top hat, with a somewhat flamboyant style, walked towards Fan Chen with a smile.

He seemed to want to say hello to Fan Chen.

Before he could speak, a strange sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

The sound drew everyone's attention.

Tap, tap... The sound came from the path beside the GG sign.

A bright light then appeared, outlining a blurry shadow in the mist.

It was a robust middle-aged man carrying an old-fashioned oil lamp.

In the light of the oil lamp, its pale and lifeless face was revealed.

This is a ghost.

"I am the guide at the Red Leaf Camp, and I will be in charge of receiving you."

Its cold, emotionless voice rang out: "Now, please follow me."

After saying that, the guide ghost turned around and walked forward along the path.

The players who entered this instance were roughly the same level as Fan Chen, around level 9.

Apart from Fan Chen, most of them have gone through nearly ten instances.

Everyone knows that at this point, they should follow the instructions of this "NPC" ghost.

So they all silently followed behind the guide ghost.

Fan Chen had already taken out a flashlight and was curiously looking around.

He soon discovered a small lake ahead, its water shimmering in the light of his flashlight.

The path runs right next to the lake.

"There's something in the water, it looks like... it's..." A female player saw something with the help of Fan Chen's flashlight and exclaimed in surprise.

Because of nervousness, I hesitated to say my name.

Fan Chen spoke up for her, saying, "It should be a water ghost."

Fan Chen just saw it too; it was a humanoid thing floating across the water.

It must be a water ghost, it couldn't possibly be a water monkey, could it?

Many players instinctively moved away from the lake.

Water ghosts are spirits that drowned in water. Driven by resentment, they will actively attack players who approach them, causing them to drown.

These kinds of ghosts are quite troublesome.

"There's a water ghost in the dungeon!"

"Damn it, I hate these kinds of things the most..."

Someone muttered under their breath, clearly having encountered such a ghost before.

Suddenly, his voice trailed off as he saw a small dock set up ahead.

A small boat was also moored on the dock.

The player in the suit blurted out, "In this instance, players won't need to take a boat to enter the lake, will they?"

Guide Ghost: You guessed right.

"We offer night fishing and boating at this campsite, which you will all be able to experience soon," the guide explained kindly as he turned around.

"Damn! Night fishing in a lake with water ghosts?" the player couldn't help but complain.

Just like you have to order food to enter a ghost restaurant, the items in this camp instance are probably impossible to refuse.

Fan Chen gazed at the tranquil lake, a look of anticipation on his face. He rubbed his chin and said, "Night fishing... are you trying to catch a water ghost?"

He has already activated the alert.

Under alert, one can clearly perceive more than a dozen red dots representing water ghosts in the lake water.

He can sense water ghosts, so what is there to be afraid of?

The guide ghost led the player to the light ahead.

This is a square, lit by dim yellow lights.

Several tents for resting were set up in the square, along with tables and chairs for relaxation, and several stalls offering food and drinks.

Several vendors were busy at their stalls, and the enticing aroma of barbecue wafted over.

"You can rest for a while." The guide ghost left these words behind, walked to a stool, sat down, and said no more.

"Can we order food here?" Fan Chen looked at the stalls.

Looks like I'll be hungry later, but I won't have to worry about not having a midnight snack.

His gaze finally settled on the center of the square.

A campfire was burning there, and a pile of firewood was stacked next to it.

In the center of the roaring bonfire is a life-sized stone statue.

Fan Chen walked over curiously.

He saw the stone statue in the flames clearly: it was carved to be a girl wearing a dress.

The stone statue was mottled from being scorched by flames, but the pain and terror on the girl's face were still clearly discernible.

Just then.

"Help me...help me..."

Fan Chen heard a pitiful cry coming from the flames.

[Warning: You have been attacked by a curse!]

Spirit +9

Spirit +4

Maximum Spirit +1

...]

The girl's cries for help quickly faded away, and the effects on Fan Chen also disappeared.

"The stone statue of the girl in the center of the campfire is crying for help, and her cries are tinged with curses..."

Fan Chen thought of the evil god sacrifice mentioned in the dungeon information.

The stone statue may be related to a sacrifice. The girl was sacrificed and turned into a stone statue, but she is still suffering from the torment of flames.

Should the players try to put out the burning campfire?

As Fan Chen made his deduction, the other players also approached.

They only dared to approach after seeing that Fan Chen was safe and sound.

But as soon as they reached Fan Chen's side, the players' expressions changed, and they hurriedly stepped back.

They all showed signs of discomfort and pain, and instinctively covered their ears.

"What's wrong?" the player in the suit asked quickly.

"Don't go near the campfire, you'll hear cries for help and be attacked by a curse," Fan Chen said, turning his head to offer a friendly reminder.

The other players were startled and instinctively moved away from the campfire, then looked at Fan Chen with surprise.

If the campfire carries a curse, why is he unharmed?

Not only was he unharmed, they even saw Fan Chen walk around the campfire once...

Fan Chen: The curse has stopped already? That's not very effective.

"Is this the monster rookie who cleared the game perfectly three times?" Many players exclaimed in their hearts.

Many of them had watched Fan Chen's live stream and knew about his powerful performance in dungeons.

Watching a live stream is one thing, experiencing it firsthand is another.

Fan Chen walked to a table and chairs and sat down.

Their relaxed demeanor made it seem as if they were truly on vacation.

He was so relaxed that he even took out a newspaper and started reading it...

Of course, this newspaper was the Fengdu Daily, and he hadn't had a chance to use this strange item before.

As the blood-stained newspaper was unfolded, words gradually appeared on it.

He felt the positive boost from being a Soul Eater, and scanned the information on the newspaper:

When a player's Spirit attribute is below 100, they will enter the Red Moon Time alone.

The water ghost in red clothing in the lake holds a crucial clue.

[Upon entering the forest, lone players will be attacked by cultist undead.]

[Please ensure the campfire in the camp remains burning, otherwise all players will die.]

……

Upon seeing this, Fan Chen's expression froze.

"The campfire must not be extinguished, and it must be kept burning continuously?"

"Otherwise... all players will die!"
