Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

The following diary entries spanned several months.

These are all accounts of Zheng Mingyu's life in the abandoned camp.

You can sense from his words that his mental state is deteriorating.

The sentences in the diary are often incoherent.

In his previous diary entry, he was still reminiscing about his younger sister, Zheng Xinyi. However, in the next entry, he wrote that Zheng Xinyi appeared at the camp and chatted happily with him.

He also met former camp staff and other tourists at the camp, and had a pleasant chat with them.

"Has he mastered some kind of strange ability, summoning the wandering spirits of the Red Leaf Camp?"

Fan Chen was able to guess the reason.

Continuing to flip through the diary, Fan Chen suddenly saw that Zheng Mingyu had written:

I'm about to succeed. I'll soon be able to help Xiaoyu and free her from eternal torment.

I will take her and Xinyi home with me!

And this was the last diary entry.

What happened to him after that?

"They actually stopped updating at such a crucial moment?!"

Fan Chen regretfully turned to the blank page at the back of the diary.

Suddenly, he noticed that several pages at the end of the last diary entry seemed to have been torn out.

Zheng Mingyu had written several diary entries, but they were destroyed.

Something important must be hidden within it.

What exactly happened to Zheng Mingyu afterward?

His plan clearly failed, otherwise he wouldn't have turned into a dried-up corpse and died in the wooden house.

Also, where did the stone statue in the center of the square come from?

Although reading the diary helped Fan Chen understand the hidden story of this instance, he still had many questions.

Thinking about these questions, Fan Chen casually took out the photo he had obtained from the red-clothed water ghost from his pocket.

He was suddenly stunned when he looked at the photo.

The man in the photo originally had a blurry face.

But at some point, the smudges on the man's face disappeared, revealing a bright and handsome face.

It's... the guide ghost from the Misty Camp!

The guide ghost is the owner of the diary, the dried corpse in the wooden house, Zheng Mingyu!

Although the dried corpse turned into a walking corpse, it was merely a lingering resentment left behind by Zheng Mingyu after his death, resulting in a ghostly entity.

Zheng Mingyu's spirit was left behind at the Red Leaf Camp, becoming the guiding ghost there.

"No wonder its attitude changed drastically after I killed the red-clothed water ghost..."

Fan Chen suddenly realized something.

After all, the red-clothed water ghost is its sister!

Fortunately, ghosts will not completely disappear unless their obsessions are resolved.

It will reappear...

"The stains on the photo disappeared, revealing Zheng Mingyu's true appearance. Was it because I went through the diary and obtained more information?"

Fan Chen continued to ponder, unsure when the changes to the photo had occurred.

Perhaps it had already changed when he killed the mummified corpse in the cabin.

At that moment, all the ghosts in the camp vanished simultaneously...

Staring at Zhou Mingyu's face in the photo, Fan Chen suddenly had a guess.

"Maybe……"

His thoughts had just begun to surface when suddenly...

[Reminder: You have triggered the High Priest's Trial quest!]

Objective: To travel to the world where the Red Moon has descended, and to stand before Lin Xiaoyu.

After reading through the diary, he indeed triggered the professional trial mission!

"Are we heading to the Crimson Moon World?"

In this instance, when a player's Spirit Points fall below 100, they will face the Red Moon alone.

In this scenario, players may be hunted down by cult spirits.

While night fishing from a boat, the player who entered the Red Moon phase only lasted a few minutes before dying.

To obtain the High Priest class, players must voluntarily reduce their Spirit Points and enter the Red Moon period.

This shows just how difficult it is to obtain a legendary class!

But Fan Chen wasn't worried at all, since he wanted to enter the Red Moon moment on his own initiative anyway.

The task of helping Lin Xiaoyu escape was clearly also related to the Red Moon moment.

"Next, I need to find a way to lower my mental attribute to below 100 points..."

Fan Chen suddenly frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

This seems a bit difficult, even if he temporarily lowers his mental attributes.

With the talent of a Soul Eater, they will recover quickly.

Fortunately, he obtained a strange item from the last dungeon raid, which could actually help him...

Suddenly, a jumble of footsteps rang out.

Fan Chen looked up and saw Han Bin and the other six players returning to the square with trepidation and vigilance in the forest next to the square.

The guide ghost that led the way in the misty forest suddenly disappeared.

Then the surrounding mist quickly dissipated, and the howling curses ceased.

The moonlight overhead also shone down.

Not knowing what had happened, they cautiously returned to the square.

The ghost employees of the camp had all disappeared, leaving only Fan Chen sitting by the campfire, looking through something.

They had been hiding in the nearby forest for more than ten minutes, and only dared to approach after confirming that Fan Chen was still alive and had not turned into any terrifying ghost.

"Fan Chen, when did you get back? I was really worried about you when you suddenly disappeared."

Han Bin, dressed in an extravagant suit, stepped forward and greeted them in a seemingly friendly manner:

"I'm so glad to see you're alright. Do you know what happened here?"

The other five players following behind Han Bin looked hesitant.

They wanted to ask Fan Chen for help to break free from his control, but they were also wary of the gambling addict standing next to Han Bin, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

He could only keep signaling to Fan Chen with his eyes.

Help us! Han Bin deliberately framed us, making us the target of a gambling addict!

You helped us before, you can't just abandon us now!

"The square should be safe from now on," Fan Chen said without answering Han Bin's question.

He noticed the expressions of the five players, including Huang Mao, and also saw the gambling addict standing next to Han Bin.

Players who don't participate in the game wouldn't normally be able to see the gambling addict.

But the Eye of the Spirit can detect the figure of a gambling addict.

He easily deduced that the players, including Huang Mao, seemed to be controlled by Han Bin.

But he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business: he made his own choices and he had to bear the consequences.

He put away his diary and photos, and reached out to the empty space next to him.

For Fan Chen, the fastest way to actively lower his mental attributes is to use his skills.

[No Entry]

Fan Chen activated the forbidden skill to its maximum, and his spirit and stamina attributes began to drop rapidly by 50 points at a time.

"What are you doing?" Han Bin asked in surprise when he saw Fan Chen's strange behavior, and stepped back warily.

Fan Chen did not answer, continuing to maintain the forbidden skill.

After a short while, his figure was suddenly enveloped in red light, and his body became somewhat ethereal.

"Red Moon Hour! He has entered the Red Moon Hour!"

"His mental state dropped below 100 points?"

Why...?

Several players exclaimed in surprise and confusion.

When his mental state dropped below 100 points, Fan Chen felt his vision suddenly filled with scarlet light.

[Reminder: You have entered the Red Moon period!]

A prompt appears before your eyes.

"Successfully entered the Red Moon moment!" Fan Chen was overjoyed and quickly scanned his surroundings.

He is still standing in the square at the Red Leaf Leisure Camp.

Only a red full moon hung overhead, its red light staining everything in sight.

Like the Red Moon moments in other instances, everything in the camp had become old and dilapidated.

The tables, chairs, and tents were dilapidated, and the ground was overgrown with weeds and covered with dead leaves.

The bonfire and stone statues in the center of the square were gone.

Several ghostly figures were wandering in the distance; they were all ghostly believers with strange eyes growing from their foreheads.

At this moment, Fan Chen's body felt somewhat weak. As his mental attribute dropped below 100 points, his stamina attribute also dropped to only 100 points.

However, it can still barely hold on.

But just as Fan Chen was about to proceed with the next step of his plan:

You don't seem to be in good shape.

"Today you are going to die, you are going to die..."

"Haha, you'll never get rid of me..."

Li Hu's incoherent murmurs rang in his ears.

The Tiger-Slaying Blade, which had been placed in his inventory, appeared in Fan Chen's hand on its own.

Li Hu's face, radiating a blood-red, malevolent aura, was contorted with madness and ferocity as he wrapped his arms around Fan Chen's.

Before attempting to use the Tiger-Slaying Blade, Fan Chen placed it in his inventory to avoid being affected by it.

However, upon noticing Fan Chen's low spirits, Li Hu immediately unleashed his curse.

After all, these are Fan Chen's belongings, unless they are put into his personal space.

Whether Fan Chen discards it or puts it in his inventory, the Tiger-Slaying Blade will always appear beside him the moment he is in a bad state.

This is the curse that binds one to vengeance.

Li Hu: That's how dedicated and responsible I am, never abandoning anyone.

then……

[Warning: You have been attacked by the Curse of Vengeance!]

Spirit +16

Maximum Spirit +1

Endurance +18

Endurance cap +1

...]

After being enhanced by the Shroud of the Dead, Li Hu's Curse with the Tiger-Slaying Blade is now even more ferocious.

Fan Chen's attributes improved even faster.

Almost instantly, my mental state recovered to over 100 points.

The crimson in his field of vision suddenly receded, and he was forced to return to the normal camp square.

The players, including Han Bin, were still in shock when he returned.

The red light on his body disappeared, and his body transformed from ethereal to solid.

The incident happened so suddenly that they were caught off guard and their emotions didn't immediately adjust.

"Damn it!" Fan Chen couldn't help but swear.

Other players are terrified of their spirits dropping and entering the Red Moon phase.

But for Fan Chen, it was quite the opposite.

Fan Chen: The biggest challenge for me with the hidden quests and class trials is actually how to stay in the Crimson Moon world...
