"Are you here already..."

"Think about it, it's midnight, but how could the 'ghosts and gods' sit back and watch the ceremony complete? The ceremony itself represents the growth process of Hades. Every time it succeeds, the 'reincarnation of Hades' grows a little bit, and the threat to the ghosts and gods in this world who have clearly rebelled against Hades will increase a little bit."

"What's coming now is just an ordinary evil spirit - not a ghost or god, why bother about him?"

The werewolf, the priest and the prophet were talking to each other.

But everyone's expression became cautious.

Cautious and vigilant——

Although the ritual process itself has a powerful protective force.

However, no one can guarantee that the "ghosts and gods" will not directly take action and destroy the ceremony!

Or it should be said that they will inevitably use various means to disrupt the ceremony - the most likely possibility is during the "good news" stage that requires traveling.

“Carry a visiting card with your baby’s name engraved on it, go out into nature, and worship heaven and earth.”

The sixth old man in the hut slowly wrote the name of 'The Reincarnation of Hades' on the note in his hand.

Then he also drew his long sword.

The only person left in the last house was the old woman holding the baby.

And the letter left on the couch.

The other elderly people outside the door sat motionless, but they all looked at the player at the window. The meaning was self-evident.

this moment.

In the darkness, the sound of rustling footsteps was getting closer and closer.

The evil spirits got closer and closer to the world lit by the bonfire, but they did not dare to step in directly, nor did they dare to disturb this strange ritual directly - they just wandered around, making bursts of terrifying noises.

The werewolf stood up and went into the hut.

Picked up that post!

Everything else is easy to talk about.

But on this first day of ceremony, the last step of 'announcement of good news' obviously has to be done by the players themselves!

...

at the same time.

Outside the village where huts gathered, Li Re paused on a towering mountain peak between the mountains shrouded in darkness. He listened to the whistling evening breeze and the world in his eyes gradually lost the shield of darkness. The figure of the evil spirit that appeared outside the village was also clearly visible in his eyes.

He thought that midnight was approaching and the ceremony was now coming to the final, and also the most critical, stage.

The 'ghost' that arrived during the day has already begun to take action!

However, it seems that the 'ghost god' himself has not arrived yet. Judging from the situation, he is only driving a large number of evil spirits as the vanguard, and the situation is not yet the most dangerous time on this first day.

Until then...

"You've been following me for so long, do you think I'm blind and can't see you, Miss Mirror?"

Li Re, standing on the top of the mountain, glanced sideways slightly. The world in the darkness suddenly became bright. A surging and mysterious flame spread under his feet in the blink of an eye, like a more turbulent tide that submerged the abyss. Under the reflection of this light, a figure appeared silently behind him.

The light purple long skirt fluttered.

The open flower umbrella remains in my hand even when night falls.

The scattered, shining golden hair concealed her delicate and slightly charming face. The tall figure of the visitor stood facing the fire and the strong wind, and her graceful posture seemed to be walking slowly on flowers.

"Have you been discovered? You're only a bronze-level player... You really can't be underestimated!"

"Mr. Lire?"

She said so.

The tone is as rippling as water.

Chapter 316: Ghost on Ghost Body

In the world that was still as dark as the abyss and more like a hollow hole, facing the strange village, on the top of a mountain that was illuminated by the sudden spiritual fire, the sound of the burning fire drifted away with the wind but was soon covered by the clear voice of the slowly approaching figure. The cold wind blew in all directions, and it seemed like leaves and petals were falling. Li Re was slightly stunned when he heard what the other party said, thinking that this sentence sounded a bit interesting...

"You seem to have heard that 'Li Re' is my real name, not my gamer ID?" Li Re looked at the other party in the light of green fire.

The swaying long skirt finally stopped a few steps in front of her, and the legs extending from under the skirt were faintly visible as the skirt was slightly lifted, revealing the white and delicate silk and sandals stepping on the barren soil. This was the first time that Li Re looked directly at this female player who called herself "Mirror" and rarely spoke, rarely attracted attention, and always behaved mysteriously since the beginning of the dungeon.

She looked quite young, and the edge of the raised flower umbrella seemed to be dangling invisible ribbons gently swaying. The ribbons were engraved with complex patterns, and were obviously a very special theme park prop. The golden hair under the umbrella did not change color in the fluttering green shadows, but became more and more brilliant - brilliantly setting off her delicate and charming face, and also brilliantly setting off her tall and graceful figure hidden by the purple dress...

Hearing Li Re's words, Mirror paused for a moment and smiled, "This is obvious, isn't it?"

"Although we come from different 'realities', there are always similar ones in the myriad worlds covered by Paradise - coincidentally, in my... well, in my 'reality', there is a person with the last name 'Li'."

"Of course, at first I just thought it was possible, but I wasn't sure. It was your reckless behavior along the way that made me confirm this idea!" Her tone was soft and charming.

"A similar reality? It sounds interesting."

Li Re immediately became interested. He now had a deeper understanding of the composition of the Paradise's copies, but he was still unclear about the situations in other 'realities', so of course he was interested.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

"So...you followed me secretly, are you trying to 'defect'?" Li Re raised his hands and looked directly at the person in front of him.

Although from a different 'reality'.

But who says that there can't be "insiders" in such dungeon missions? There can't be "illegal players" who cross the world level?

Li Re thought so with some malice in his heart!

"Hmm? Why do you think so?"

Mirror tilted his head, and the expression on his face became more and more confusing.

"A silver-level player secretly follows me, a bronze-level player - he can't be here to treat me to a meal, right?" Li Re blinked and smiled.

"Dinner... I would like to invite you, but will you accept?" Mirror also blinked her light purple ruby ​​eyes and swung the flower umbrella in her hand lightly: "But you are right about one thing, I am indeed following you."

"...A psychic player who possesses multiple psychic abilities that are not even inferior to those of ghosts and gods, but can still reach the silver level infinitely close to the level of psychic. He is suspected to be immortal, and may also be born in another reality that is very similar to the 'reality' that I come from... This really makes me very interested."

"As for the existence that can arouse my interest, if I can't find out clearly, I will be very itchy, you know?"

She spoke slowly.

Li Re stood there quietly and listened to her finish speaking. He was obviously only a 'Bronze Level', but facing the Silver player who was far behind him, he showed an attitude that was not inferior at all.

He said:

"so?"

"So." Mirror stared at Li Re in front of him and spoke word by word: "Are you a 'human' or a 'ghost'?"

"Or something else?"

"I have observed you all along the way, but I have not discovered anything."

"Guess?" Li Re thought that this guy was "observing" him in silence, but he remained expressionless on the surface! Now he could understand the other party's purpose of "tracking" him... This young woman with the gamer code name "Mirror" was obviously a player with a strong desire for knowledge and exploration, and now - she had set her sights on him, an outlier among the psychic players!

Perhaps to other people, Li Re would directly tell them about his abilities. He never bothered to hide anything, and always tried to find some danger and excitement for himself.

but...

The more eager a person is to learn, the more Li Re likes to whet their appetite! He also likes to say no to those who think they are right!

Having said that, looking at the other person's appearance, Li Re couldn't help but complain in his heart that he, a supernatural player, is really "more female than male" in various senses... So far, it seems that most of the people who can be attracted to him are indeed women——

"Guess?"

Mirror once again smiled and said, "I can't guess..."

"There are very few things in this world that I cannot see right in front of me - I haven't felt this way for a long time!"

"Unfortunately, now is not the time to explore this - the copy we entered this time is too dangerous, and I dare not be too arrogant... and now, the danger is approaching!"

"Is this why you left the village on purpose?"

This sentence fell.

The spiritual fire that was swaying and blooming like a flower in the darkness suddenly shook and instantly withered and went out!

Darkness filled the field of vision again.

Li Re narrowed his eyes slightly, but in fact, without the other party saying anything, he could feel that something was approaching here - or, approaching the mountain where they were standing at the moment, the place where the 'reincarnation of Hades' was performed for the growth ceremony!

That's not a 'ghost'.

But the real 'ghost'——

This time, midnight has arrived!

The 'ghosts' are coming!

"Is it finally here?"

Li Re no longer paid attention to the 'mirror', but turned to look at the foot of the mountain and narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought to himself, it's finally here... He deliberately left the mountain gate when the ceremony began, just to wait for the arrival of the 'ghosts' - observe the direction from which they are coming, observe the possible 'nests' of the ghosts and gods, and try to intercept them outside the village!

That's why he found the most suitable place to stand.

Even the darkness as deep as the abyss could not obscure his open psychic eyes.

But only by standing high can you see far!

And now, he indeed saw it - the evil spirits clustered outside the strange village let out bursts of wails. There were so many of them, and they were so densely packed, with corpses and dead heads piled up like a Jingguan left over from an ancient battlefield, but amid the rustling sounds, the evil spirits suddenly let out bursts of extremely terrifying wails.

That’s right, the evil spirits are wailing and howling in pain.

They seemed to be afraid, but unable to stop it...

Li Re's pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw this scene.

The 'mirror' behind him followed his gaze and narrowed his eyes. The curve at the corner of his lips remained unchanged, but his red eyes revealed a solemn look.

Because the way ghosts and gods arrive is extremely strange.

It was so weird that it caught them off guard.

There was an uproar!

The next second, an unusually tall ghost figure emerged from the evil spirits - the ghost figure swayed its body, stepped on other trembling evil spirits, and slowly opened a pair of empty eyes that were deeper than the abyss and emptier than a cave.

This ghost is an evil spirit.

But they are also ghosts and gods.

It is the ghost that possesses the evil spirit!

Clearly, the ceremony has not yet ended, and clearly, the letter announcing the good news has not yet been sent out among the strange villages... However, the ghosts and gods have arrived!

At this moment, Li Re was truly surprised!

It turns out.

His guess was both right and wrong.

He guessed correctly that the ritual itself had the power to resist the attacks of ghosts and gods, and he also thought that ghosts and gods might use indirect means to prevent the progress of the ritual - just like the group of evil spirits that were driven here.

But Li Re didn't guess that the ghosts would stop the ceremony itself by possessing the identity of a ghost!

That group of evil spirits were not the key to the ghosts and gods stopping this ritual.

They are just carriers of ghosts and gods.

Possessed by a ghost!

Weird and unpredictable!

"I am coming."

Almost at the same time.

A sharp and hoarse voice rang simultaneously in the ears of all living beings in the mountains, rivers and within a ten-mile radius!

Chapter 317: The only way to break the situation: counterattack

For park players who have experienced supernatural dungeons, encountering a ghost is not a very rare thing. Most invisible ghosts use this method to influence reality and achieve strange effects. However, invisible ghosts are not as scary as visible ghosts after all. Pure energy can often resist this kind of erosion and possession.
