Re-live your life and start speedrunning

A moment later, at the 'end' of the darkness that enveloped the center of the ghost town, the car lights illuminated the surrounding area. The outline of the edge of light and shadow formed a sharp contrast with the grand and silent black curtain outside... Although the light was not very bright or warm, the moment they saw the light, Old Tang, Glasses, and Hat all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Old Tang still did not speak, but just looked at the figure walking in front of him with a serious face - looking at the young man dressed casually in a white shirt and black pants, and the scarlet thing in his hand that looked like a beating biological heart.

The three of them paused.

Hat seemed to finally be unable to help himself and said, "At least I survived... I wonder how Old Black is doing now?"

"Oh...if only I could have stopped him at that time." Hat said dejectedly.

The man with glasses pushed up the frame on his nose and consoled him: "In that situation just now, being able to protect yourself was already the limit - it's not your fault."

After all, they are also "partners" who have gone through life and death together.

We will need to work together even more.

The glasses certainly couldn't keep this guy from being depressed any longer.

So the hat nodded upon hearing this, and then looked up to the front - looking at the slender young man who was standing in front of them holding a scarlet flowing object in his hand, who was also being looked at by Old Tang: "That... just now, thank you so much!"

Although the sudden appearance of countless scenes that looked exactly like the pale ghosts was extremely terrifying,

Even now when I think about it, I feel my brain trembling and my scalp tingling.

But the other party did use this to defeat the "evil ghost".

Not only did he save them, he also brought them here... They didn't know where this place was, but the lights of the bus parked nearby illuminated them, and they felt a lot more at ease.

Glasses also followed the hat's gaze and looked at the young man's back, but compared with gratitude, there was more fear and dread in his eyes.

"Mr. Lire...right?"

Old Tang also curled his lips. He remembered that this was the name in the park’s information prompt.

obviously.

The person who saved them and brought them here from the darkness was Li Re, who was interested in this team of players who were carrying out the rookie trial mission in the ghost town. What he was holding in his hand at the moment was the soul core of the evil ghost that he had "defeated".

After many days, he finally got his third 'Soul Core' - the whole process was not thrilling, but there were some coincidences...

[Soul Core (Lonely Soul): A ghost that likes to act alone. Anyone caught alone within ten steps will die.]

"A ghost who kills by being alone."

"But he encountered the power of the Ghost-faced Owl, which can steal the power of 'others' and use this power as a basis to create clones - a power that is both one person and countless people."

'There is a strong conflict between them.'

"I have to say... this ghost has really bad luck!"

if not like this,

At most, this evil spirit will be repelled by Li Re.

But it will not fall into the 'freeze' state so easily and turn into the 'soul core' in his hand!

Of course, this is inferred.

Even if you have the ability to fight against evil spirits, you still need enough luck to obtain the soul core.

Li Re was thinking this when he came back to his senses when he heard the new players behind him talking to him. He put the soul core away and looked behind him.

His face looked pale and handsome under the light of the car lights.

The three people facing him subconsciously took two steps back, apparently thinking of the horrific scene just now.

But Li Re didn't care at all.

His move was originally out of boredom during the waiting process... As he glanced at the three people in front of him, he was also thinking about which of the two newcomers had the "supernatural" talent - supernatural talents are hard to come by, and Li Re couldn't help but be curious. Moreover, the talents of different supernatural players are often different. In this environment, having one more "helper" like this might bring some surprises - it could allow him to find more dangerous areas!

But Li Re hasn't spoken yet.

Behind me, the sound of clear footsteps suddenly rang out amid the flickering lights.

The sound of "pa ta ta" was the sound of naked feet landing on the ground, and the figure of a little girl in a flowing dress approaching... The expressions of the three people who arrived changed slightly at the same time, and Old Tang tensed up all over in an instant, ready to escape at any time - they could feel that the one who was slowly approaching was another "evil spirit"!

Li Re waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous."

"Although this little ghost looks silly, she is different from the ghosts outside. She already has low-level intelligence, which can be regarded as a rare exception to the ranks of weird monsters that rely on instinct to act and kill people everywhere. Although her instincts are still there, at least she can communicate."

"And this is a house-raised ghost. She doesn't dare to kill anyone in front of me." While he was speaking, he patted the head of Feng Ling who was walking from behind him, causing the little girl to grimace in dissatisfaction but not daring to resist.

A house ghost...?

Seeing that the little girl did not make any murderous move, the newcomers calmed down. Knowing that the man in front of them was a more capable and experienced player than Old Tang, they did not say much. Having experienced the previous crisis, they understood better that in this environment, only by not causing the disgust of the strong can they better grasp the hope of survival.

Old Tang's eyes widened: "Ghost rider? Psychic player?"

No wonder that scene happened before!

He finally understood, and the look he showed towards Li Re became more and more awed - if the atmosphere wasn't wrong, Old Tang would even want to just bow down and beg the big boss to take him with him!

“If you are not a supernatural player, you will not show up here on your own initiative.” Li Re responded with a hint of meaning, and then said: “It seems that your luck is not very good!”

Hearing this, Old Tang smiled bitterly and didn't know how to respond.

Of course, his luck was very bad - even worse than Li Re's new mentor Lao Hu.

Although Lao Hu looks weak, the Qi and blood power of the martial arts qigong master at least makes him not completely defenseless against evil spirits.

However, Lao Tang's profession is the more common 'melee system'. A pure physical warrior fighting against a ghost that is immune to physical attacks, the result is predictable!

No wonder he kept complaining before.

But it's okay.

"My luck isn't that bad... or should I say, good things come after bad times? To be honest, I thought I was going to die in this mission - including this time, I thought I had died several times before... I finally made it through half the city from the starting point to here, and I would be unwilling to die like this - luckily I met you."

Old Tang responded in a low voice. Just as he said, he was actually somewhat unbelievable.

It's incredible that we can actually find "rescue" in a ghost town.

God knows how disappointed he felt when he entered the ghost town and found out that it was a supernatural instance - he was now even more thankful that he had used the 'help item' without hesitation at the beginning.

Yes.

The reason why Li Re was able to take on his mission was because of the 'help prop'——

"Maybe you are really dead, and this may be an illusion before death!" Li Re spread his hands and grinned. Under his indifferent appearance, he was actually more curious... In any case, being able to pass through most of the ghost town is already extremely remarkable.

You know, when he first came to the ghost town, he only relied on the ghost bus to get to this place in the city center.

Lao Hu and his friends could only follow behind the bus to have a chance to catch their breath.

...He thought that maybe that talented novice player was at work? But he didn't know which one it was...

Upon hearing this, Old Tang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't scare me, Mr. Li Re."

"Then again, what is Mr. Li Re doing in this ghost town?"

As soon as this sentence came out.

There was suddenly something wrong with Li Re's eyes as he looked at them.

At this time, Old Tang seemed to realize something, and his expression became panic again - he was panicked thinking that the reason they appeared in this ghost town was for the rookie trial and the guide mission, so this extremely terrifying supernatural player in front of him must also have his mission - and that mission must be more terrifying and dangerous than the danger they are facing.

This is obviously not a case of good times after bad times!

But Old Tang just opened his mouth, but didn't have time to ask.

suddenly!

Dang Dang Dang——

A magnificent and grand voice penetrated the world and shattered the silence shrouded by the veil of darkness.

Is this... a bell?

Old Tang was stunned.

The two newlyweds looked at each other.

However, the bell sound disappeared just as quickly as it appeared - it stopped abruptly after three rings!

Li Re glanced at Feng Ling beside him, whose expression suddenly became excited, and thought that this was probably the signal of "the seal loosening" that he had been waiting for. He didn't have the leisure to think about which of the two new players among the three was the new player with supernatural talent.

He spoke to the three people in front of him, and after they calmed down again, he said: "If I were you, I should find a safe place to hide now...

“But now in this ghost town, it seems hard to tell where is a safe place.”

"What do you mean?" Old Tang asked hastily, "What's unsafe? What's that bell sound?"

The looks from the other two people who looked over also became extremely uneasy again.

Li Re met their gaze but did not respond. He just put his hands in his pockets and grinned - he actually did not need to respond.

Because Old Tang and the other two had already felt it.

They turned their heads to look at the dark outside the car lights, and seemed to hear a rustling sound and saw some hideous figure slowly approaching here.

That's a 'ghost'.

And it’s not just a single, single-digit ghost.

You can tell from the sound of that number that it’s a lot.

You can tell the sound as soon as you hear it, it is heavy and complex!

"I'm coming!"

The wind spirit beside Li Re started chirping, "The bad guys are coming!"

With a creaking sound.

It was the sound of the lights in the bus suddenly flickering.

It was also the sound of the bright red sedan still placed on the roof swaying back and forth!

Moreover, under the horrified gazes of Old Tang and the other two, a dark green flame spread out like ripples from under Li Re's feet, and the green flame instantly lit up and illuminated his front and back clearly.

It illuminates the evil spirit that is stumbling towards you.

It also illuminates those who have a flamboyant smile and are fearless!

Chapter 184: The Guardian, the Female Ghost and the Empty Sedan

The green fire spread again as before, but compared to before, Li Re was undoubtedly more serious this time - so serious that even the dark curtain could not cover the light of the flame itself. Even though this light still could not spread to other things, it had indeed penetrated the abyss-like darkness and fell into the sight of several people present!

During this time, Li Re stood upright, responding to the rustling sounds slowly approaching on the dark road.

Old Tang, Glasses, and Hat, who were also there, had different expressions, but they were all dignified and nervous in their hearts.

Their uneasiness was not only because the sound at this moment was obviously caused by the arrival of a large number of evil spirits.

Moreover, what one can see at a glance is the 'road surface' paved with firelight.

...This is not what a city center should look like at all!

It seems as if two worlds are split in front and behind this horizontally parked bus - on one side is a flat asphalt-paved road with towering buildings, while the other side is a field path made of rammed earth with faint ridges on both sides!

But the former is quiet, cold, silent and terrifying.

The latter, on the contrary, appears to be swaying with vitality.

This is a... 'yin and yang road'.

For some reason, this thought suddenly occurred to the three players present.

Yes,

This is a 'yin and yang road'.

The ghost town in front of you is the underworld, and the field path behind you is the road to the world of the living.

Li Re, who stood in the middle, lighting the road with fire and blocking the evil spirits with his body, was undoubtedly a "road guardian"

"What to do next?"

Glasses came back to his senses and swept his eyes behind the lenses across the back of Li Re who was standing in front of him. Green fire dots scattered like stars on the glass that focused his sight, making his eyes focus - looking at Old Tang.

Old Tang also came back to his senses at the same time.

He took a deep breath and said, "Remember what I just told you?"

“Don’t act rashly?” Glasses chewed the words in a low voice, nodded, and understood what Old Tang meant.
