The clock's hand turned, nodding in its own unique way: "I think so too."

At this point, everyone looked at the Golden Ghost.

It brought people here, so it's most appropriate for it to speak.

Golden Ghost gave a wry smile: "Alright, alright, I'll go talk to them. What about the administrator? You go talk to them?"

It asks about the strangeness of obsession.

Obsession nodded, "Say what you mean, and I'll say it."

He was worried that the girl wouldn't be able to handle receiving so many messages at once.

The fox spirit seemed to know something about him, and at this moment it stopped being sarcastic.

He patted him on the shoulder: "She's very strong, unlike your sister. Don't worry."

He glanced at the obsessive and mysterious figure, but said nothing.

Shi Jinwei also noticed that they were talking.

But the convenience store ghost and the little boy ghost also provided a lot of information, so she focused her attention on that.

"You mean, when you were born with sentience, you were a spirit?" she asked the convenience store ghost.

This is what the convenience store clerk just told her.

The convenience store mystery is a bit like a grandfather clock; the latter was born in an old house, while the former was born in a convenience store.

However, when it was first created, it was not eerie, but rather a "convenience store spirit".

According to Convenience Store Ghost, when it was born, it called itself "Convenience Store Spirit".

It has no physical form, just like a little ghost.

Two days later, a bizarre game began, and the rules of the world changed.

It transformed from a spirit into a monster, and also gained physical form.

This reminded Shi Jinwei of the "Nightmare Spirit" she encountered the first time she entered the eerie dungeon.

At the time, I just thought they had different names.

Looking back now, it seems that only their names are "spirits".

The body is also seemingly illusory.

Another one is that strange couple from [Starry Sky High School] last time.

They were saying, "Great, finally someone can see us. I heard that NPCs in other instances can see the supernatural beings, but not in our instance."

The timeline of that instance is out of order.

The time when Shi Jinwei entered was likely the moment when the strange phenomenon first occurred.

Putting these clues together, a bold guess formed in her mind—something strange might not have originally been strange, but rather something like a "ghost."

Or perhaps it's a case of "antiques becoming sentient and gaining intelligence"?

The two ghostly lovers, because their timeline in the instance was earlier, became "spirits" rather than "ghosts" after their deaths.

In the node that Shi Jinwei entered, the NPCs were just like the people in a normal dungeon; there was no "spirit" or "ghost" to be seen.

The answer is almost obvious, yet something is still missing.

The timeline doesn't match.

The timelines of the two instances still don't match.

Even if two games were to appear in two different worlds at the same time, the timelines would still not match.

According to the supernatural beings, the system does not yet have the ability to change the timeline of the supernatural world.

You can only change the time within the instance.

At this moment, Huang Jingui walked over, interrupting her thoughts.

"So? Any thoughts?" It asked whether or not to go into the [photo studio copy].

Shi Jinwei nodded: "I'll go, but I want to go back and check some guides first."

"Alright, I'm bound by the rules. I can only ensure your survival. The rest is up to you." The woman in the cheongsam smiled at her.

They chatted for a few more minutes, and Shi Jinwei noticed that these ghosts seemed distracted.

Especially the Golden Ghost, who always smiles like Maitreya Buddha.

He was unusually quiet today as well.

Staying here won't yield any clues. Several dungeon bosses only appear before the dungeon opens, so we can't stay away for too long.

And so everyone dispersed.

The two little ones were reluctant to part with Shi Jinwei.

Shi Jinwei took out a lot of candy and chocolate and gave them to the two of them.

The convenience store's favorability rating was already full and didn't change much.

The little boy's favorability was immediately maximized, and she received a small bow tie.

The same style he was wearing:

Black Bow Tie: Wearing this will give you the eerie aura of the [Grand Hotel Dungeon] boss. Duration: 10 hours (cannot be stacked). Cooldown: 2 days.

It's a good item, Shi Jinwei put it into her spatial storage.

The other supernatural beings now see her as "hope" and treat her differently than they did at the beginning.

Knowing she was going to write a book, everyone patted her on the shoulder and offered her "weird blessings".

Even the fox spirit was no exception.

After the buffs are stacked, plus her hidden title: Prestige +105 points, Favorability +120 points.

However, the blessing period only lasts for 10 days, so she'd better get into the game within these few days.

After bidding farewell to the group of ghosts, Golden Ghost remained silent in the car, refusing to even answer his phone.

Seeing its silence, Shi Jinwei became even more silent.

Finally, Huang Jingui couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first: "Little girl, I have something I want to tell you."

Shi Jinwei listened attentively.

This is intelligence that doesn't even exist on the dark web, or rather, intelligence that humans simply don't know about.

……

Previously, Golden Ghost had told Shi Jinwei that all the strange memories occurred after the game began.

Like Shi Jinwei and other players, they could only remember the general outlines or the important people from the past.

Few people paid attention to these strange occurrences, so at first, no one took it seriously.

They have even gradually adapted to a world where humans and monsters coexist.

However, after the game was released, a "red moon" would appear in the dungeon every once in a while.

The timing is irregular, but before it happens, the strange creatures become noticeably restless.

The lower the level of the eeriness, the stronger the sense of agitation.

The restlessness reaches its peak the moment the red moon appears, at which point one loses their rationality.

He reverts to being a mindless "monster," only knowing how to devour.

It was sophisticated and eerie; I didn't take it seriously at first.

However, as the number and frequency of red moons increase, they are gradually being affected.

"It's not easy for each of these strange creatures to evolve into a high-level form. If they lose their minds, you can imagine the harm they could cause. If they keep devouring without stopping, their internal power will eventually reach its peak and they will explode and die," the Golden Strange creature said.

This is not the future the supernatural beings want to see.

Of course, they can avoid this fate if they don't enter the instance.

However, if a strange dungeon loses its boss and no strange creature is willing to become the boss, the administrator will force a high-level or super-high-level strange creature to become the boss.

"It's not that the strange creatures haven't resisted before, but they've never been able to beat the administrator." Golden Ghost gave a wry smile.

Moreover, as the game's coverage area continues to expand, when the entire world becomes a dungeon, they will only become more passive.

It would be better to come up with a solution sooner and take the initiative.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jinwei asked directly, "What do you want me to do?"

"End the game," it said without hesitation.

They are not unaware of the Men in Black organization, nor are they unaware that humans may have specialized communication methods online.

But their goal was to kill the administrator and overthrow the game, so the monsters turned a blind eye.
