Su Er also felt aggrieved.
Looking at the answer book with only half a page left, there was only one word in my mind: loss.
In order to save time and quickly consume the pages of his and Ji Heng's books, he simply gave up collecting ghost tears. Seeing that he was halfway through the journey to success, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. How could he not feel aggrieved?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Ji Heng.
"It's not your fault."
The other party's answer was the same as usual, like a parent who indulges his child's mistakes without any bottom line.
Someone stood in the same camp. Su Er's voice was not loud, but very confident: "I didn't break the rules."
Dongfeng Jushi looked at him and suddenly understood the difference between Su Er and other players. Others followed the rules in dungeons with trepidation, while this person spent his days trying to figure out how to game the rules.
Unfortunately, there are more important things to deal with right now.
Mr. Dongfeng glanced at Zhang Xiaohua.
Directly locked by the dangerous aura, Zhang Xiaohua gritted his teeth and stood firm.
Dongfeng Jushi approached her little by little, just as Zhang Xiaohua approached Liu Changxiang step by step not long ago, with a powerful and terrifying force.
"I'm going to draw out some of the Yin energy in your body."
How could Zhang Xiaohua be willing to do that? She gritted her teeth and decided to fight like a trapped beast.
"This isn't fair." Su Er actually spoke up for her at this crucial moment. "Why are you depriving her of her power for no reason? The Ghost King should be based on ability, not first come, first served."
Zhang Xiaohua was a little surprised that a human was speaking for a ghost.
"Please give her a chance," Su Er's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was under tremendous pressure. "At least let this little girl fight the Ghost King head-on and decide the outcome."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded emphatically in agreement, she just needed a chance.
Looking at the little girl who seemed to be joining forces with Sul to fight against the same enemy, Dongfeng Jushi laughed out of anger.
A newly advanced ghost is fighting against the ghost king, and the players are just watching the fight from the sidelines?
His eyes darkened and he casually swept his palm over. Zhang Xiaohua was brought over by a huge suction force, and the Yin Qi in his body dissipated bit by bit like peeling off a cocoon.
During this time, Dongfeng Jushi also took a look at the electric shock device in Sul's hand... The game actually didn't ban this thing.
It didn't take long for me to figure it out.
Killing ghosts is not easy. To accumulate Yin energy, one must pay a deposit with his life. There are not so many ghosts for him to kill in other copies.
Mr. Dongfeng sighed with regret, so why did the current accident happen?
I specifically picked a dungeon with a lot of ghosts, hoping to be lazy in hosting and easily get the whole group of players wiped out, but it ended up playing into other people's hands.
He didn't do anything too extreme. In the end, Master Dongfeng only took away half of the Yin energy injected by Sul. Zhang Xiaohua's overall strength was still stronger than before.
Ji Heng noticed this, his eyes darkening. This would upset the balance Su Er had been aiming for. Zhang Xiaohua's power surged, but it had no impact on the Ghost King. Ultimately, the players would be the ones suffering.
"Stop causing trouble." After resolving the hidden danger, Dongfeng Jushi gave a warning and disappeared from the spot.
A look of surprise appeared on Suer's face. He thought that after this accident, the other party would follow him closely.
Ji Heng: "The host can't easily interfere with the players."
Although Sur's behavior is out of line again, a closer look reveals that he is still within the rules of the game.
Since I can't stop it even if I follow it, I might as well turn a blind eye.
Su Er said in a deep voice: "Governing by doing nothing is a great wisdom."
Hearing this, Ji Heng looked at him deeply without commenting.
Almost at the same time, Soul showed concern and took the initiative to help the little girl up, with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
His humble attitude made it difficult for Zhang Xiaohua, who wanted to vent her anger on others, to act unreasonably.
"Forget it this time." Zhang Xiaohua responded gloomily, wiping the dust off her little red shoes with her sleeve, and returning to her previous appearance of a harmless child.
"I hope you can help me find the murderer of the poisoning case as soon as possible."
He used a slightly requesting tone, but looked at Sur as if he was staring at food.
Su Er was very polite: "Maybe you need to describe what happened at the time of the incident."
Zhang Xiaohua refused to recall.
She thought she had done a good job and calculated everyone, but unexpectedly her life ended without any preparation under a bottle of poisoned cow's milk.
I deliberately tried to forget that failed experience, resulting in me now being unable to remember the details of my death.
"Just one question," Su Er still refused to give up: "Wasn't the top student in your class at that time quite tall, with a crew cut, and a small red mole at the corner of his eye..."
After a pause, he asked seriously, "Chen Ziwen."
"It's him." Zhang Xiaohua smiled proudly. "In order to surpass me in academic performance, Chen Ziwen has worshipped the fox spirit more than once."
Su Er's expression changed slightly. The little boy he met in the principal's office was indeed the Ghost King.
"I'm going to find something to eat." Zhang Xiaohua held up two fingers. "When the sun rises the day after tomorrow, you must tell me the truth about the poisoning case."
Holding the little red shoes, the little girl walked on the ground barefoot without making any sound and left like a ghost.
The figure gradually disappeared, but Suer's eyes were still fixed on that direction.
"Zhang Xiaohua has no reason to lie," he said, his tone doubtful after coming to his senses. "But Chen Ziwen has worshipped the fox spirit so many times, how could he still become the Ghost King?"
The other ghosts had run out of luck, and killing the little girl was as easy as killing a chicken. Only Chen Ziwen was different. After his death, he became the strongest one in the copy.
Ji Heng: "Want to get in touch again?"
Su Er showed a look of rejection.
He didn't really think of himself as a great figure. In terms of strength, Chen Ziwen seemed to be weaker than other ghost kings he had met, but no matter how weak he was, he was still a ghost king.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, the less dealings you have with others, the better.
Faced with Suer's look of rejection, Ji Heng felt a little relieved.
I was a little worried that he would become keen on challenging dangers because he had escaped danger several times, but now it seems that my worry was in vain.
Soul weighed the book of answers, "We've looked through it over a hundred times and haven't gotten a spot on the diploma."
Ji Heng is considered to be lucky, let alone the other players.
Within three days, many people would compromise and worship the fox spirit.
"How about... try to turn it over again? Summon a ghost and ask." Suer paused, hesitant.
There are hundreds of ghosts in the Book of Answers, and the victims of the poisoning case only account for a small part of them. The rest include students who died tragically over the years.
I'm afraid it's all in vain.
Ji Heng: "You can pick up more important things to do first."
"for example?"
"Eat breakfast."
"…"
As soon as he said that, Soul felt his mouth go dry.
I went downstairs and took a walk. The Ghost King's advancement process was interrupted and ended early. Now the dawn has reappeared, bringing precious warmth.
Several players could be seen walking around and communicating on the playground, including Gao Rui.
Seeing Su Er with sharp eyes, she took the initiative to walk over and smiled bitterly: "I didn't even see a small store."
The worry between the lines cannot be concealed at all.
Only half a day had passed, and when people were extremely hungry, they could even eat each other like ghosts.
Su Er thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's to get us to read the book as quickly as possible."
Gao Rui touched his stomach and said, "I just drank two sips of water, but I'm still hungry."
The copy is not too extreme, the water and electricity are connected.
As he spoke, his stomach growled again. Gao Rui said helplessly, "If this continues, I'll have to consider eating tree bark."
"Why not wait a little longer?" Ji Heng's voice was not loud, but it attracted several glances.
Someone immediately took over the conversation, as if they had found a backbone and were full of hope: "Will the food come?"
Ji Heng didn't respond. Instead, Jin Liya, who was standing in the shadows and wrapped up tightly, spoke up: "Just drinking water can last for a few days, but your various functions will decline, and flipping through books will be a dead end."
The game is not going to force people to death in this way.
Shortly after she finished speaking, a small cart slowly approached the crowd. The person pushing the cart was a little boy, and at first only half of his head was visible. Seeing his sinister expression, many people's worries, which had just been put at ease, became tense again.
A cold wind blew, weakening the warmth brought by the sun.
Su Er and Ji Heng were not the only ones who had dealt with him last night. Shan Meng, who was standing next to Jin Liya, frowned and took a step back defensively: "Ghost King."
Pretending not to see their actions, the little boy pulled off the top white cloth. The cart had three layers in total, and from top to bottom were bread, milk, and mineral water.
No matter which teaching building you were in, you could see what was happening on the playground. Seeing food, players hiding in the shadows gradually emerged.
Su Er counted them and found that there were eight people left. Among them was one who was secretly selling birthday information.
Jin Liya and Shan Meng's suspicions can be ruled out. Two props plus a bald head, even if it is a price to pay for self-proof, is too high.
"Question and answer," the little boy finally spoke. "Answer correctly and you get food."
He arranged everyone in order of height and added the following rules: "Only one meal a day; no whispering; no sharing of food; no taking food from others."
Now Suer is standing at the back, and Ji Heng is the last one.
The little boy stopped in front of Gao Rui.
"What subject am I best at?"
Gao Rui opened his mouth but couldn't come up with an answer. Under the other person's cold gaze, he helplessly said, "Mathematics."
The little boy nodded and took a portion of food from each layer and gave it to her.
As Gao Rui took it, he couldn't help but sigh at how wise Suer was. He thought of exploring the story line at the beginning of the copy.
What she didn't know was that Su Er was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse.
The second player was not so lucky. When the little boy asked who he hated most in the class, he had no idea what to make up and could only give up.
The Ghost King asked questions completely at will. Just when the third player thought that his food would be completely ruined, the little boy actually asked a gender question.
The other party was overjoyed and got a piece of food by chance after answering.
The Q&A session only lasted a few minutes. Some people couldn't wait to eat bread to fill their stomachs, while others could only watch others eat.
The little boy covered the dining cart with the white cloth again and said mysteriously before leaving: "Don't feel unfair. Luck is very important."
Most of the players had already become veterans in the dungeon, and many of their expressions changed slightly after hearing this, especially those who had already learned about the existence of fox spirits.
Su Er and Ji Heng looked at each other and sighed, "This is trouble."
I don't know if it was intentional by the Ghost King, but when he asked them, the questions he gave were also very simple.
"Among those who got breakfast, there must be someone who worshipped the fox spirit." A player named Jiang Yi broke the window paper without hesitation.
Because he didn't kill everyone with one stick, no one really refuted him. Some things are tacitly known to everyone, the only difference is whether they are put on the table or not.
Without solid evidence, the end result is that people are filled with suspicion and disperse unhappily.
Only Su Er and Ji Heng were left on the playground.
"The Ghost King is instigating the players to worship the fox fairy." Suer closed his eyes and pinched his brows. He hadn't slept all night and was a little tired now.
The players are unable to unite, and there is a Zhang Xiaohua whose strength has increased rapidly in the dark and is always ready to hunt. The situation is quite bleak.
When he opened his eyes again, Su Er looked at Ji Heng: "Is there any way to find Zhang Xiaohua?"
Ji Heng glanced at the hidden place on the side and gestured to go there.
With the flower bed as a cover, Ji Heng lit a stick of incense and stuck it in the soil.
The smoke that came out was bluish-purple and stretched endlessly. He explained, "It's used to attract ghosts."
"There are still such props?"
Ji Heng: "Tools can not only save lives, but can also be used to harm others."
Su Er nodded in understanding: "Will it attract other ghosts?"
The Ghost King had just left.
Ji Heng: "Try your luck."
The players just gathered here, Zhang Xiaohua should be nearby.
The luck that Ji Heng talked about was often much more reliable than the luck that Suer talked about. Not long after, a head popped out from the classroom on the first floor. The little girl was hanging upside down there. When she found out it was them, she showed disappointment.
Killing is a desire deep in the ghost's bones, and Zhang Xiaohua almost couldn't control himself for a moment.
Not wanting to irritate her, Su Er deliberately put his hand holding the milk behind his back before speaking: "There is an opportunity to become the Ghost King right before your eyes."
Zhang Xiaohua noticed his little action but didn't say anything.
Su Er said to himself: "You alone are no match for the Ghost King, what if everyone joins forces?"
Zhang Xiaohua is a very calm little girl. Most ghosts disdain to have contact with humans, but she listened patiently.
"Only half of us have received food. If you can get some, you can definitely lure the rest of us into a united front." Su Er said quietly, "Hunger is not a pleasant feeling."
Zhang Xiaohua remained unmoved: "I'm just afraid he'll turn against us at the last minute."
Su Er asked back: "Even if we turn against us, will the Ghost King let us go?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and her expression finally relaxed a little.
The Ghost King stands at the top of the food chain and will certainly not miss the opportunity to kill someone.
Su Er smiled slightly: "If you fail, you will run the fastest and will not be affected. If you succeed, you will become the new Ghost King."
After listening to his analysis of the pros and cons, Zhang Xiaohua was somewhat tempted.
Soul was like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, constantly tempting, "It's zero investment for you."
After rolling his eyes several times, Zhang Xiaohua finally made up his mind: "Okay."
Su Er's heart was relieved: "You go find some food, I'll go contact someone, see you in the broadcasting room later."
After Zhang Xiaohua disappeared from the spot, he turned his head and asked with his mouth: Are you sure you want to leave?
Ji Heng nodded.
Su Er then spoke: "Gathering together will prevent her from regretting her actions."
Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "You are the one who has zero investment."
Soul curled the corners of his lips.
In any case, a ghost king and an advanced ghost must be allowed to deplete each other's strength.
He had no doubt that whether the murderer of the poisoning case could be found or not, Zhang Xiaohua would eventually take action against them.
Finally, the smile faded: "I'm afraid not all players will agree."
There are also risks in attacking the Ghost King.
Ji Heng: "If you don't cooperate, you won't survive today."
The Book of Answers forces people to flip through it every once in a while. Without food to replenish their strength, and with their luck borrowed away, their chances of survival are slim.
·
There is also an unnatural coolness in the teaching building during the day.
As soon as the two entered, they began to search purposefully, and finally found Jiang Yi in the bathroom on the second floor, who almost choked to death after drinking tap water.
Sur's narrative is simple: helping an advanced ghost fight the Ghost King.
Just as Ji Heng judged, the other party nodded in agreement soon.
It is a trend to muddle through in the dungeon, but the right thing to do is to eat first.
"Don't let me know who borrowed my luck!" Jiang Yi cursed after washing his face with cold water.
He was sure that he was in trouble. He slipped when going upstairs and choked when drinking water.
Su Er reminded: "When the time comes, you must use all your strength to let the ghost see the possibility of success."
Otherwise, if Zhang Xiaohua were to lose and run away, they would be the ones in trouble.
"I understand." Jiang Yi interrupted coldly.
When a tiger eats people, it will eat the one who runs last first. If something really happens, the ones who die will definitely not be the two in front of you.
A smile reappeared on Su Er's face. "If they both lose, we'll kill them both when we get the chance. Even if one side wins miserably, we'll kill them while they're weak."
The tone is normal, like saying that the weather is nice today.
Looking at this young boy, Jiang Yi couldn't help but raise his voice, feeling that his cruelty was no less than that of a ghost.
After agreeing to meet in the broadcasting room in ten minutes, Suer and Ji Heng went to look for other players.
Before going upstairs, Su Er looked out the window at the sunlight shining on the playground: "When the fighting starts later, I wonder what kind of chaos will be turned upside down."
I hope Mr. Dongfeng will not "meddle in other people's business" this time.
Seeing him start to pray, Ji Heng's lips curled up slightly.
After praying, Su Er suddenly asked, "Do you remember the advice Tian Yi Gua gave me?"
Ji Heng nodded: "Only by keeping your original aspiration in mind can you achieve your goal."
"That's right. Zhang Xiaohua was plotted against because she didn't stick to her original intention."
Ji Heng's steps going up the stairs were a little slow.
Su Er suddenly sighed: "She once refused to make deals with fox spirits, believing that only things gained through hard work are real... and now? She has fallen!"
Ji Heng couldn't stand the righteous words for a moment and couldn't help but cough twice.
"You've made deals with me more than once, hoping to get something for nothing. But how can there be any reward without giving?" Su Er took a deep breath and sighed, "You're really courting death!"
"…"
After expressing his feelings, he concluded: "I must learn from this and stick to my original intention."
Ji Heng pondered for a few seconds. What was Suer's true intention?
It seems like... waves?
