Chapter 20: Five Ghosts

"…3,2,1, the time is here." The strange voice finally ended, with cruel excitement hidden in the voice.

"What should we do? Should we find a place to hide, or continue walking inside?" Cookie deliberately lowered the volume and looked at Yang Ni with a pitiful expression.

Compared to what should be done now, what Yang Ni wants to know more is other questions.

First of all, what kind of existence is this so-called "ghost"? Is it a "ghost" that can cross walls and float in the air, or a "ghost" with bloody mouths and green hair all over the body, and the response methods are different for different types.

Furthermore, the rules of the game only mention that being caught by a ghost means failure, but there are many definitions of [catch]. It may be that you are taken to a specific place by a ghost, or you may be directly exposed to by a ghost, but considering that this is a [hide and seek] game, the worst case is that being seen by a ghost means failure.

In short, it is imperative to collect enough intelligence to help judge in order to take the best response.

If you just simply find a place to hide and wait for the time to end, it would be too challenging for luck. Yang Ni would not do such things that cannot control his own destiny.

Thinking of this, Yang Ni whispered to the cookie: "We should be safe for the time being. There is no reason why this "ghost" would not catch the vast group of people, but came to catch us aimlessly. In this way, we will copy it from here and see what the group of people are doing."

Cookie naturally has no other opinions. In fact, in the few games she has experienced, she won by chance because of her low presence and low threat.

The two of them are now far behind the team. At this time, they go around from the side and back, with a straight line distance of at least 100 meters. In addition, the visibility here is very low and the field of vision is not wide, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

The surrounding environment became more and more silent and gloomy. Cookie unconsciously held Yang Ni's neck of clothes tightly with one hand and moved forward slowly. Her eyes always looked behind her unconsciously, as if she was always worried that the "ghost" would appear from behind.

"It's so scary here. Why not just find the "ghost" and fight?" Cookie murmured in a low voice.

Once a person is in this absolute silence for a long time, he will easily become nervous. The more he doesn't know where the danger will come from, the more he feels that it is insecure everywhere.

Not to mention cookies, even Yang Ni felt his hair standing upright when he walked, and even the sound of walking and heartbeat made him feel a little loud.

But when you think about it carefully, the current situation is a bit funny. It is obviously a game of "ghosts" to catch people, but now there is a large group of people in front of you who are eager to find "ghosts", and I fall quietly behind the group of people to find out.

"Have you noticed that there are actually many ghost portraits here?" Cookie seemed very uncomfortable with this silent environment. While exploring [31 Novel Network], he looked around and said to Yang Ni in a low voice.

Ma San shook slightly and said tremblingly: "Bitchies, you can't be scary in such places."

Cookie was a little dissatisfied and pointed at her in front of her and said, "Look, there is always such a portrait full of "ghosts" on these walls at any distance."

Although there are many rooms here, it is not like a common building. One door is facing the other. The structure of the whole room is chaotic. Some doors are next to each other, and some have to be separated by 4 or 5 meters before another door appears, which makes people feel irritated when they look.

Yang Ni hurriedly looked in the direction of Cookie's finger.

Due to the dim light, dust everywhere on the walls, unknown stains and huge spider webs, Yang Ni did not notice the situation on the walls, but the cookie focused on strengthening mental power, which led to her more sensitive observation of things around her.

Yang Ni barely saw the portrait that Cookie mentioned. This portrait is a bit like the portrait of the Kitchen God that is often seen in rural areas, and is larger than a4 paper, but due to time, the paper has turned yellow and covered with dust.

Yang Ni reached out to brush away the dust, and then he saw clearly what was on the painting.

As the cookie said, the portrait depicts a certain kind of ghost. The main colors of the picture are red, yellow and green, but the image of a ghost with a green face and fangs is vividly depicted. The ghost has two faces distributed on the left and right sides of the head, in a sitting position, holding a lantern in one hand, and a pair of heads with pain expressions sits under the butt, which looks extremely bloody.

After a closer look, there were 4 little ghosts in the four corners of the portrait, surrounding the big ghosts in the middle.

The four little ghosts have different images. The one on the upper left is just a fierce and powerful man with two small characters next to it. I carefully identified it as the word "bone-cutting". The one on the upper right seems to be a beast with four legs on the ground, and the two words next to it are "skinned". The one on the lower left is a charming woman with a blurry appearance, and the two words next to it are "heart-cutting". The one on the lower right is three fat dolls wearing bellybands pushing a cart with a wooden barrel together, and the two words next to it are "blood drawing".

Soon, Yang Ni found a few more pictures. All of these portraits may have slightly different styles, but the content, including these words, is the same.

"Is this a ghost? And there are 5?" Yang Ni looked at Cookie and asked with a frown.

Cookie widened her eyes, shook her head innocently, thought for a while, and then nodded quickly.

Yang Ni didn't expect to get any answer from the cookies, because the rules of the game mentioned that there should be only one ghost that meets the conditions for catching people.

This is, Ma San, who had been protruding his head, suddenly interrupted, "Can you know, the big ghost in the middle catch us, and the four small ones are the ghost servants mentioned in the rules of the game?"

Yang Ni's eyes lit up and nodded: "It's very likely. Killing these four ghost servants will provide us with the so-called [hiding props]. I guess it's the key to winning this game?"

Cookie tightened the collar of her blue and white sportswear and whispered: "So, we have to go find these ghost servants first?"

Yang Ni shook his head slightly: "This city is so big, we don't have to look for it deliberately. Relatively speaking, it is the most important thing to not be discovered by ghosts."

After a pause, he continued: "And most of these folk prints are mainly freehand, and there are not necessarily four ghost servants. In my opinion, they should be divided into these four categories. There are still many in each category. In short, since it is a game, whether it is easy to win or lose easily, it will never be what the Lord of the Yellow Springs is willing to see. We just need to do things when we encounter things."
