Chapter 18 Players Who Shouldn’t Appear

"You don't need to do anything, just help me understand the situation here. Isn't this difficult for you?"

The female ghost nodded, and then said: "Ask whatever you want to know. But you have to give me half of the benefit you mentioned, and you have to write a blood oath, and you can't trouble me again in the future."

"Deal." I said and started asking how to write that blood oath. Then under the guidance of the female ghost, I quickly completed a book. Unfortunately, my fingers were pricked several times while writing this, but finally I finally finished it. This is what makes this female ghost willing to cooperate with my work. Of course, I also got an additional reward, which was the blood oath contract.

A blood oath contract is something similar to a system contract. It is actually an oath written in blood, but it has specific formats and requirements. Creatures without blood can also use their own energy to write, and the effect is the same. . The completed blood oath contract will have third-party binding force, that is, no matter which party of the contract breaches the contract, it can be restricted or punished by the contract.

Compared with system contracts, the advantages of blood oaths are obvious. There is no need to pay for this thing, you can just write it directly. Secondly, the content of this thing is relatively random, and some contents that the system is not responsible for guaranteeing can be written on it. Of course, there must be advantages and disadvantages. The biggest flaw of Blood Oath is that the punishment is not as exaggerated as the system contract. Although most people will not set particularly horrific punishment content even if they use the system contract, if you want, the system contract can actually be deleted directly. There is a super punishment like permanently sealing the level of a certain account at level one, but the blood oath cannot produce such a strong restriction. Even if you write it, it won't take effect. The punishment of blood oath can only adjust the data on the player's attribute panel to a certain extent, and it can also have a certain impact on things like luck.

For example, you can write in the punishment of the blood oath that someone will often lose money in the future. Then as long as the other party signs the blood oath and violates it, part of his money will randomly disappear from time to time, and there is no way prevent. In addition, you can also set the punishment content to how much someone's attributes drop, or permanently bring some kind of negative buff that cannot be expunged. This is all okay. Of course, the settings of these properties cannot be too exaggerated. After all, a blood oath is a low-level contract. It can only be used to make simple constraints on some small things.

In addition, the blood oath has another flaw, that is, its binding object is only for individuals. In other words, if it is done in a group, this blood oath is actually not binding at all. For example, if I write a blood oath to ensure that the Frost Rose Alliance will never attack Japanese players in the future. But in fact, I am the only one this agreement can bind. Because I am a member of the Frost Rose Alliance. The blood oath was written by me, so the only requirement of this blood oath is that I cannot attack Japanese players, but other people in the guild have no problem attacking. Since the agreement was not signed by them, I cannot represent them even as the president. For this agreement to be worthy of its name, everyone in the guild must sign their names. The system guarantee agreement does not matter in this regard. As long as I am the president, theoretically I can sign an agreement on behalf of the entire guild. Of course, in fact, if the punishment content is set to be more harmful, the system will still issue it to everyone involved. If a person sends an inquiry, the agreement will only take effect if the other party confirms the content of the agreement.

No matter what, getting one more good contract form is considered an extra bonus.

"Okay, the contract is finished. Now if you want to know anything, just ask." After the female ghost swallowed the blood contract whole, she began to act as a guide for me according to the contents of the previously agreed contract.

In fact, I just came here to inquire about some things, but now that the contract has been obtained and so many benefits have been given, it is natural that the service must be in place, so I simply turned the inquiry into a guide. The female ghost does not need to participate in the battle, but she must always follow me, provide me with information support at any time, and be responsible for guiding me to where I want to go.

"Since you are already my guide, please give me a brief introduction here."

"Introduction?" The female ghost was obviously a little confused. "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Of course it's information about where this place is and what characteristics it has. By the way, you don't know that this is not the main world, right?"

"Of course this is not the main world, because this is the spiritual world."

"Spiritual world?" This was the first time I heard this word, so I was very curious.

The female ghost introduced: "The so-called spirit world is actually an independent space established by vengeful spirits. The founders who created this place are three very powerful vengeful spirits. They created this place and set up the rules here."

"Similar to the God of Creation?"

"Almost, but not that exaggerated."

"No, I now have a rough idea of ​​the origins of this place. Let me tell you about the situation here."

"I actually don't have much information to tell you about the situation in this world." The female ghost said very directly.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not that I don't want to say it, I really don't know how to say it!" The female ghost hesitated for a while before speaking again: "The spiritual world is different from the ordinary world. The structure of the world here is very chaotic, with discontinuous space points and discontinuous time. It is also not continuous. You may suddenly fall to another time point while walking, or you may suddenly change positions. Moreover, this time point and space point are independent, and there are repeated parts between them. , but it doesn’t have much connection at all.”

"You mean this world is actually made up of independent small planes?"

"I don't know what the plane you are talking about is, but I can feel that it is almost the same thing. You can imagine this world as many independent rooms. There is no fixed connection between them, but they are constantly changing. There are changing ways of connecting. You can hit openings in space at any time.”

Although I still can't fully understand what the female ghost said, I at least know one thing. That means it’s probably impossible for me to find Christina, Gold Coin, and the others again. According to this female ghost, time and space in this world are discontinuous, and the connections are not fixed. In this case, it is possible that when you pass through a door and turn around and walk out, you are already in another place. . If you are followed by others at this time, you may be separated into two different worlds, or two different times. Anyway, you are separated.

It seems complicated to say. But it’s actually easy to understand if you think about it differently. This spiritual world is actually a large multi-tasking sub. This sub allows multiple players to take on tasks at any point in time or not at the same time. It seems that you are entering a task, but in fact you are each doing your own tasks, although the map and task process you are taking are the same. But they will not meet each other. certainly. The above mentioned are side tasks. And this spiritual world has one more situation than side tasks, that is, if two people meet certain conditions during the task, you may meet again. Directly merge two tasks into one task. Of course, even if they meet, it does not mean that they will always be together. They may be separated again as long as certain conditions are met.

Now, Christina and I are obviously separated into different task spaces. The Huangshi Village in front of us is still the same Huangshi Village, which means that the place has not changed at all. What really changes should be time. However, there's one thing I'm curious about.

The Huangshi Village in front of me is very complete. It almost looks new. The houses in it are not damaged at all. The first two Huangshi villages I encountered before were quite dilapidated. It can be said that there are ruins everywhere and they are completely in ruins. If you analyze it from a time perspective, the ruins should definitely be at a later point in time, because you have to have a house first, and then you can see the ruins of the house. It is impossible for a ruin to appear directly. However, if it is inferred based on the time point, it does not make sense. If the intact Huangshi Village where I am now is from an earlier point in time, then why would a village completely occupied by evil spirits develop into an inhabited village in the future? Normally, shouldn't it be inhabited first, then deserted, and then ghosts or monsters appear? Why does it feel like everything is completely reversed here?

I couldn't understand this strange phenomenon, so I had no choice but to ignore it. However, the top priority now is to find a way to return to the Yellowstone Village occupied by the monsters, and then destroy the soul collector, because that thing is our real mission target.

"Now tell me first, what kind of ghosts are there in Huangshi Village." Since the general direction is a bit vague, let's first find out what dangerous things are here, so that at least safety is guaranteed.

After hearing what I said, the female ghost was about to answer my question when she suddenly heard a scream coming from outside. I looked outside in confusion, and then walked out directly.

The location where the female ghost and I were just now was the largest house near the wellhead in the center of Huangshi Village, which was the village chief's home. This house can be said to be the most central location in the village, so as soon as I came out, I saw the situation in the small square surrounding the well.

The square at this time was very scary. When I entered the house, it was still bare and there was no one around. But now, the square can only be described as littered with corpses. There were at least 200 people lying scattered in the small square, and none of them seemed to be dead. Those people seemed to have fallen into a meat grinder, and they all had strange symptoms in some part of their body. They were twisted to death, and it felt as if someone had grabbed their limbs and twisted them as hard as a towel.

Of course, a twisted towel is not scary, because all that can be squeezed out of the towel is water, but there are many things in the human body, so you can imagine what will happen when a person is twisted into a towel. Condition.

At this time, almost all the more than 200 dead people in the square looked like this. Blood, viscera, food residues and feces in the intestines were almost everywhere on the ground. There was no place to stand in the entire square.

Of course, dead people don't cry. The source of the sound just now was not the dead people on the ground, but a large group of people standing near the wellhead. There are about thirty people in this group, including men and women. The professional mix is ​​a bit chaotic. They are mainly melee-type people, and there are not many long-range people. The previous shouts were made by a few beautiful girls wearing priest robes in the center of the team. Of course, they are still shouting high-pitched voices without any intention of stopping.

Just opposite these guys, there are several things floating there. The specific number cannot be determined, because except for one of them who obviously looks like a leader, the rest of the things are a kind of black mist. This black mist is very dense. It is about the size of a refrigerator floating in the air. The overall structure is a short and thick oval structure. Although it is only one meter six long, as long as you bend down a little, you can definitely hide someone in it. no problem.

There are two very obvious red spots in the black mist. At a glance, you can probably guess that they are eyes. In addition to these two red spots, there are also other spots on the left and right sides of the mist near the upper end. I saw two arms made of particularly thick black mist, and at the tips of these two arms, I could even see five fingers made of sharp blades. This guy's claws look just like a perverted killer in a horror movie. Let alone being caught, just looking at it makes your skin hurt all over your body.

Normal people would definitely be afraid of such terrifying creatures, but what's even more terrible is that these things are not stable. They keep moving back and forth in the air, and they suddenly disappear while flying, and then they appear inexplicably from somewhere else. The location suddenly flew out. It is also because these guys are invisible for a period of time, so I can't count the number of these guys at all, but I can be sure that there are at least five, because I can see five of them floating at the same time.

In addition to these things that appear and disappear, there is something in the air in front of the opponent's group of people. This is a humanoid creature, most likely some kind of soul body, because this guy's body is basically translucent, and you can directly see what's behind him from his body.

These things in the sky seem to be very powerful, otherwise they would not scare the female players below to collapse. But what's even more strange to me now about those monsters is where those players came from. Isn’t it true that only people from the overlord guild can enter the buff mission? But these are obviously Japanese players! Matsumasa He and Ghost Hand Nobunaga have not yet completely decided the winner. Where can the overlord guild in the Japanese region come from? (To be continued...)
