Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

The ghost streamer appeared in the activity room earlier, but after arriving, it disappeared without a trace.

It's clearly hiding from the players.

Therefore, Fan Chen rushed towards it without hesitation.

Both the information in the dungeon description and the intelligence presented in the Fengdu Daily prove that this ghost streamer is very important.

Upon seeing Fan Chen rushing towards him, the ghost anchor was startled and quickly turned around and scurried into the room behind him.

When Fan Chen arrived outside the room, he saw the word "Auditorium" marked on the door.

"hall?"

This place was mentioned in the description of the family photo.

The musician Mr. Kun performed a charity performance here, and the photos were also taken here.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Fan Chen reached out and pushed open the auditorium door, then walked in.

An Ran and Zhou Muchen followed closely behind him.

The four members of the "Raging Four," the man in sunglasses, and the actress hesitated slightly, but also followed them in cautiously.

Their goal is simply to survive in the dungeon, not to achieve a perfect completion.

However, the condition for completing this instance is to escape the mental hospital.

Simply hiding won't work; to leave this place, we have to explore the dungeon's information and find a way to escape.

The auditorium was pitch black.

When Fan Chen chased after it, the ghost streamer disappeared, and the light on its hat also vanished.

During the alert process, no abnormalities were detected.

So Fan Chen raised the Breakthrough Oil Lamp and adjusted its brightness to the maximum.

Bright light instantly spread to every corner of the auditorium.

The auditorium was about two or three hundred square meters in size, with a simple stage set up and rows of chairs underneath, all covered in dust.

Against the wall, there are cabinets, boxes, and other items.

In the center of the stage, a musical instrument lies quietly; it appears to be a violin.

"A violin?" Fan Chen's eyes flickered as he thought of the Dark Sonata mentioned in the Fengdu Daily.

I must take a look at this violin later.

The dark auditorium was illuminated, and the other players looked at the item in Fan Chen's hand in surprise.

This old-fashioned oil lamp can actually emit such bright light!

The brightness of lighting equipment can indicate its level and standard.

"This is probably an exclusive reward item."

"I'm so envious," said the blond-haired guy from the Madstorm Guild.

He suddenly realized something and his expression changed drastically: "Brother Ye, the exclusive reward items are all very powerful. They left the iron gate with the oil lamp earlier... Could they have really left the mental hospital?"

"If you can leave, why come back?" Fei Fei, the energetic young woman, retorted.

She felt an itch on her arm and reached out to scratch it hard.

She didn't care about the two bloody marks left on her arm.

"Maybe that oil lamp really can..." The bald man with the gold teeth stared at the oil lamp, his eyes filled with greed.

This could be one way to pass the level.

After Fan Chen finalized the layout of the auditorium, he adjusted the valves to turn back the light, ensuring that the light only enveloped the three of them.

Running at maximum power is too mentally taxing; even he has to conserve some energy.

"The lights were warm and cozy just now, it was quite comfortable."

Zhou Muchen said with a smile, "But Qing Tong doesn't seem to like it very much."

The light from the Dispelling Illusion Oil Lamp can restore the player's status.

The brighter the light, the stronger the recovery effect.

However, it won't be very friendly to ghosts. If Zhou Muchen can make a "vow" with the ghost bride, the ghost bride should no longer be affected.

At the same time, the bright effect is limited to the player selected by Fan Chen and will not affect other players.

"Let's find that ghost streamer first," Fan Chen said, leading the two to begin searching the auditorium.

I've already seen the layout of the auditorium. The only places to hide in the auditorium are the cabinets and boxes placed against the walls.

The other players also cautiously searched the auditorium, looking for the ghost streamer.

The dungeon description mentions that the eeriness of Ebony Mental Hospital began after a paranormal investigation streamer came to broadcast live from there.

The ghost streamer must be hiding important information, which might lead them to clues to escape from here.

The cabinets placed against the wall contain various styles of theatrical costumes.

This mental hospital values ​​the mental well-being of its patients and frequently organizes performances for them in the auditorium.

"Um?"

Fan Chen, who was searching the cabinet, suddenly had a change in expression.

He felt the gaze of the darkness again, coming from a cabinet not far away, its door slightly ajar.

Those bloodshot eyes, with trembling pupils, were staring intently at Fan Chen.

Then Fan Chen was affected by the curse.

He gained some inverse gain, which made up for the energy consumption of using the oil lamp.

Fan Chen: Thank you for your hospitality.

When he opened the cabinet door, he still found nothing.

"Boss, is it that ghost staring at you again?" An Ran asked upon seeing this.

After Fan Chen confirmed it, Zhou Muchen suddenly asked curiously, "Could this ghost staring at people be the ghost streamer?"

"It shouldn't be." Fan Chen shook his head.

The stalker is malicious and clearly aims to harm players.

The ghost streamer is more like an NPC in this instance.

"A ghost that hides in the darkness, constantly spying on others and casting curses upon them."

An Ran speculated, "This is a mental hospital, so this ghost might be from a patient with voyeurism."

Humans are born with the urge to spy on others' secrets, but normal people can control this instinct well.

Those voyeurs who are so severely affected that they need to be sent to a mental hospital likely have extremely distorted mindsets.

The ghosts they transform into also develop related strange abilities.

"This type of ghost should have nightmare attributes."

"They will try to dig into your memories, uncover your inner secrets, and then control you."

Anran, a psychologist, made her own diagnosis.

"I understand." Fan Chen agreed with An Ran's assessment.

Then he laughed again, "Trying to spy on my secrets, huh?"

Okay, I'll show you something fun later...

He gripped the Demon Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade tightly in his hand, having already decided what to do.

"He's here!" a player suddenly shouted. It was the male player in sunglasses.

In the pitch-black auditorium, he still did not use any lighting equipment, and his figure was almost completely surrounded by darkness.

Fan Chen hurriedly grabbed an oil lamp and rushed over.

I saw the man in sunglasses holding a crossbow and pointing it at a box in the corner.

"He's inside," the man in sunglasses said to Fan Chen, turning his head slightly.

Fan Chen glanced at the man in sunglasses with curiosity, finding the player increasingly strange.

He has a strong sense of perception and is not afraid of the dark. When the other players were attacked with the hanging rope, he was the only one who was unaffected.

Fan Chen: This guy... is he blind?

Because it's invisible, it wasn't affected by the eerie influence of the hanging rope?

No lighting equipment is needed, yet the senses are greatly enhanced.

"But how could a player be blind?"

"Even disabled people should regain their healthy bodies after entering the bizarre world, right?"

With this guess flashing through his mind, Fan Chen had already arrived in front of the box.

The lid of the box suddenly flung open, and a ghostly figure leaped out and ran away.

The ghost streamer was indeed hiding here!

Fan Chen flashed and blocked its path: "Don't run, we won't hurt you."

"No, don't kill me!" the ghost anchor cried out.

Its already pale face seemed even paler, and it subconsciously raised its hands.

"Don't be afraid, we are all good people," Fan Chen comforted gently.

He gave a friendly smile and tried to have a friendly conversation with the ghost anchor.

Unlike other ghosts, this creature's voice was cold and detached; one could clearly sense the fear in its tone.

The ghost streamer was still trembling: "You guys...you really won't hurt me?"

"Really," Fan Chen assured him.

Ghost streamer: "Then can you take the knife off my neck?"

The Demon Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade was held beside its neck, its blood-red blade radiating a chilling aura.

"Okay, fine." Fan Chen put the knife away.

The ghost streamer feigned relief, his eyes trembling as he swept over Fan Chen and the other players who approached.

"You, you're not ghosts, you're all human?" it suddenly asked with a hint of surprise.

Then he reached out and fiddled with the hat on his head, which served as both a light source and a camera, and the light came on.

"Great, finally we've met outsiders!" the ghost anchor exclaimed.

Suddenly, it showed an expression of self-reproach.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have been so foolish as to come here and do a live stream."

"This, this mental hospital is really haunted!"

"They almost killed me, it was terrifying!"

Players: It seems you've already been killed by them...

The ghost streamer seemed unaware that he had become a ghost.

It still retains the cognition it had when it was human.

In this state, ghosts can speak with the same rich emotions as humans.

The ghostly anchor continued, "My assistant has already been murdered, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on much longer."

"Your assistant? How did he die?" Fan Chen asked curiously, realizing he had a companion.

"My assistant was supposed to stay outside the mental hospital and manage my live stream... but he seems to be bewitched."

The ghostly news anchor, his face filled with grief and terror, said, "I looked out the window and saw him hang himself under that crooked tree by the door..."

"And then, I could never get out."

So that's how the hanging rope on the crooked tree came about.

Where did the assistant's body go?

"Do you know how to get out of here?" the female player asked in a trembling voice, a question that was also of utmost concern to the other players.

"How should I know? I've been trapped for so long and haven't been able to leave."

The ghost streamer seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and his emotions became very intense.

"But I know that the doctors in the mental hospital won't let anyone leave!"

"Anyone who has heard that song cannot leave this place!"

"What song?" Fan Chen's expression changed, and he quickly asked.

The ghost anchor said with a terrified expression, "A musician came here to perform, was attracted by the mental state of the mentally ill people, and was inspired, so he stayed here for a long time."

"By observing the patients' conditions, he composed a piece of music."

"And when that piece of music was first performed..."

That's where we left off.

"Eeya—"

A sharp, thin sound rang out, like a sword piercing the silence.

This startled all the players.

"Ah—" The ghost streamer screamed, clutching its head in terror and scrambling back into the box.

The sharp, piercing sound continued.

Fan Chen quickly realized that the sound was coming from the simple stage next to him.

The violin in the center of the stage floated up on its own and began to play.
