Starting From Zero

Chapter 36 It’s Really a Ghost

Under normal circumstances, the people at the entrance are condescending and should have a much better view than us. However, this is not actually the case now.

The entrance to this hall is not on the ground of the hall, but is located halfway up one side of the wall. There is still a drop of more than 200 meters from the ground. It is indeed much higher than ours. In theory, it should be visible at a glance. Can catch us. However, the human eye is not an electronic recognition software. There are hundreds of thousands of people standing in a square. If you want to find someone you know among them within a second, you can only rely on luck, unless you see it at first sight. Just aim at that person, otherwise it would definitely take a long time to scan them one by one.

And that's pretty much the situation now.

Our current location is in the middle and rear of the hall, several kilometers away from the entrance there. Let's not talk about whether the other party's vision can see us, even if the sight range is sufficient. There are so many people crowded together in this place, and it will take time for the other party to identify them. If you want to do it, the entrance where the other party appears is hanging alone in mid-air. If a person appears on it, you will naturally be discovered immediately. Therefore, we can discover the person above at the first time, and the person above may be able to find the person above. He saw us the first time he saw this place, but his attention could never be focused on us. It's like there is a special mark in a painting. You can actually see it when you first look at it. After all, a painting is not beyond your sight, but to find this mark you need to concentrate and slowly But he can distinguish the content of the painting.

The guy who appeared at the entrance must have seen us, but he was too focused to notice us. It takes a little bit of comparison with the crowd below to find us. Of course, this process will definitely not take too long. After all, there is a big difference between us and the enemies around us, and there will be no fighting between these creatures, so it is not difficult to find us, but the previous The other party can really see this far away, and even if it can be seen, it will take at least dozens of seconds for the other party to notice us.

Before the other party notices our side, Song Zhenghe, August Xun and the others have distanced themselves from us, and they are constantly separated from us while pretending to be fighting hard. In fact, even if this situation is discovered, it is easy to explain. Because you can clearly see the relative positions of us and Matsumasa from above. But once you enter the battlefield below, it is actually difficult to identify the direction. There are enemies everywhere in front, back, left and right, and this place is not allowed to fly, so if you are blocked in the crowd, you will naturally not be able to see the surrounding situation. So even Song Zhenghe and the others ran past us. Later, I told others that they didn't see us at that time. That makes sense. After all, do others know that Song Zhenghe and we are actually in the same group? They also carry positioning communicators with each other.

Less than five seconds after the man above appeared at the entrance, we had already determined his identity. Quite surprisingly, the person who appeared there was not a Japanese player. But... an eagle.

Less than two seconds after the eagle appeared at the entrance, another person emerged from the side. This time we all immediately identified the person’s identity, because the mage robe on Hongyue was quite special. After the red moon appeared, I discovered a third figure, and this time it was my wife Rose.

"Holy shit, what's going on?" When we saw the three people appearing, we were not calm at all.

Zhenhong shouted to Song Zhenghe and the others who had not gone far: "Don't run away, reinforcements are coming!"

When Song Zhenghe heard Zhenhong's shouting, he first glanced at the entrance, but then he didn't come back immediately, but stopped there without moving. In fact, I also know why Matsumasa He is not in a hurry to come back, because it is not yet sure whether it is just the three of Roses and the others who have come in. If there are still our players who are trapped, Matsumasa He and the others are actually not suitable to be with us. contact. After all, the news that Matsumasa He is a member of our guild has always been under lockdown. Even if the scope has been slightly expanded recently, it is actually limited to the top brass of the guild and those directly related to this matter. The personnel only know it. For now, most players in the guild still don't know the true identity of Song Zhenghe. Therefore, in order to prevent anyone who should not know about this matter among the people who came in, Matsumasa and the others chose to stand still and planned to wait until the confirmation was completed.

Song Zheng congratulated them on not moving, but a communication link suddenly came from the entrance. Although there is no transfer station set up by us in the buff mission, it can be connected using a crystal communicator at this distance, but I don’t know why the signal is quite bad and the noise is very loud.

"Ziri, are you over here?" Rose shouted directly into the communicator.

I directly changed the ring of love to activate the communication mode for couples, and then said: "The communicator signal is not good, but it is still so clear. We are here, why are you coming in?"

"We saw that your mission has not come out until now, and there are so many people coming in from Japan. We were worried that your mission would be blocked and unable to proceed, so we all came in."

Hongyue also squeezed to the window at this time and said, "Where are you? We can't see you here!"

When I heard this, I winked at Christina. Christina immediately raised her hand and fired a magic bullet into the sky. Then I immediately heard Hong Yuejiao say: "You guys fired that magic bullet, right?" ? I saw you. The distance is really far! How did you get past so many enemies down here?"

"We'll kill them bit by bit." After I finished speaking, I continued: "How many of you are here? Is it just the three of you? Come over here quickly? Can you three kill us from below?"

I just finished saying Rose and then continued: "No, we can't go there. I saw Song Zhenghe and the others are on your side. It should be enough with them. It's not much use for us to go there, and we're coming here There are many people, and Matsumasa He's identity will also be a problem. In addition, we can maximize our effectiveness here. "

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, but I suddenly came to my senses before Rose could explain. "Are you and Ghost-Shou Nobunaga on fire?"

"Not only Nobunaga, there are many other Japanese players, and there are actually players from our country here."

"Isn't it normal to have players from our country?"

"But they are attacking us!"

"What?"

Hongyue rushed to say: "Anyway, don't worry about this side. There are a lot of people here, so we will help you block this road, and you can just rush forward with confidence."

"Well, I'll leave it to you over there, and we'll take care of it ourselves."

With Rose and the others blocking the door for us, things on our side will be much simpler, since no Japanese players can come over. We don't need to separate from Song Zhenghe and the others. to be honest. With their help, our score-earning speed has grown by leaps and bounds, and as we continue to move to the bottom of this hall, our attack skills are becoming more and more liberal.

The main reason why I didn't dare to use skills indiscriminately before was because I was worried about not being able to persist to the end because of my magic power and so on. But now it is obvious that the mission goal is in front of us. There is no point in continuing to accumulate magic power at this time. therefore. The frequency of skill activation on our side is obviously increasing. Moreover, the skills are becoming more and more powerful, and even gold coins are beginning to use the sword array to attack, but they dare not play the Ten Thousand Sword Array. You can only use a few flying swords to create a small sword formation.

The faster we kill here, the faster it takes to approach the exit over there. Although we don't know much about the situation on the other side of the exit, we actually don't care much about it anymore.

When we entered here before, we thought the mission was to destroy the soul collector, but now it has been determined that that is not the main mission, but a side mission. Our real mission target is those zombies. As for the rescue of those zombies... Actually, there is no need to worry. Since we lost a lot of zombies before, we only have about 200 zombies left in our hands, and most of them are mage zombies. According to the mission requirements discovered later, we only need to save a hundred of them. Even if the mission is completed, additional rewards will be given for the excess, and the larger the number, the greater the rewards. We have actually obtained more than a hundred soul beads now and have used them all. In other words, our task has actually been completed, and now we are just racking up points and reaping benefits. There are less than fifty zombies left in our hands. It doesn’t really matter whether we rescue them or not. Anyway, we have now obtained the rewards of the buff mission. As for these zombies and the soul collectors that may appear behind this hall, that’s all It belongs to the category of windfall. Of course it is better to have it, but it is not a big deal if not to have it.

With this feeling of confidence, our fighting rhythm becomes faster and faster, and when there is no pressure in our hearts, our combat effectiveness is actually higher. It seems that the battle on Zhenhong's side has almost turned into aerobics. Christina's attacks are more like directing a symphony orchestra. Anyway, it feels like everyone's fighting rhythm is very artistic.

In this relaxed fighting atmosphere, we quickly obtained the soul beads of the last dozens of zombies, and then all the accompanying rewards of this buff mission were obtained. It's just that the additional task of the soul collector has not been completed, but we still have a small amount of experience points in hand, so we can continue to advance. I believe that there is not much left in this side task.

There was not much error in our guess. In fact, when we arrived at the end of the hall, what we saw was a doorway about five meters high and five meters wide. This doorway has no door panels. After entering, there is a corridor as large as the doorway, but unlike the outside, there are no enemies guarding it. The enemies outside seemed to be restricted. They all stopped after we all entered here, and no monster dared to chase in.

Without the interference of monsters, of course we quickly walked through this short passage, and what followed was a stone room only as big as an ordinary classroom.

The display in this stone room is really simple. There is a stone-carved chair in the center of the empty room. The carving workmanship of this chair is pretty good, and the body of the chair is also very large. It looks quite domineering, but we don't feel it at all, because I have a more exaggerated throne in the conference hall of the guild headquarters in Essinger. Super Throne. The one in front of me is a mud embryo at best.

The chair was not empty at this time, but the person sitting on it was not a living creature, but a skeleton. The skull's tilted head does not look like an undead creature, but a normal, motionless skeleton. The skeleton was wearing a men's Japanese kimono, and was holding a bamboo tube tightly in its hand. Apart from these things, this room is really empty.

"What kind of situation is this?" Looking at the situation in front of her, Chihuo Longji couldn't help but ask.

Zhenhong, like the Blazing Dragon Queen, also had a short temper. As soon as the Blazing Dragon Queen finished asking, she went up and wanted to rummage around with the skeleton. Of course I couldn't let her touch the skeleton so recklessly, but unfortunately I was a little slower when I reached out to pull the real red, and I didn't expect that this thing would react as long as I touched it.

In fact, Zhenhong just touched the bamboo tube in the end. As a result, I grabbed her before she could pull it off. but. The moment Zhenhong stopped moving and looked back at me, the bamboo tube suddenly flashed, and then I kept reaching for Zhenhong and froze there, because I found that I had changed places inexplicably.

This is a wooden house. It should be a multi-story building. Because the floor beneath the feet is obviously suspended. Where I am now is a corridor. Stairs can be seen at both ends of the corridor, and on one side of the corridor is a row of windows, and on the other side is a row of doors.

This place doesn't look too strange. Houses with wooden structure are very common in Japan. The windows on the left side of the corridor use a dense pane structure. There is no glass or window paper, so you can see the outside directly. I don’t know what time it is at this time, but it’s raining heavily outside and it’s very dark. Fortunately, my perfect night vision has not been taken away, so I can still see things quite clearly.

The heavy rain outside the window, the dim light, and the empty corridor made the atmosphere of this place feel a bit like a ghost movie. But I'm not afraid of ghosts anyway, so this has no effect on me. But there is one thing that is very annoying to say, that is, we were actually separated. When I came over, I clearly reached out and grabbed Zhenhong. Even if others weren't close to me, I was holding Zhenhong's arm at that time. However, when I was teleported, although I still maintained the stretching action, the arm in my hand was missing. I stood there alone, with no one around me.

In this case, the first thing I need to determine is whether I encountered an illusion or was really transported. But the result was unfortunate. Summoning Amynis actually failed. Neither the Earth Gate nor the Phoenix Dragon Space can be opened, and even the space bracelet is malfunctioning. This place is a completely confined space, with all openings in the space sealed. But one thing makes me feel more at ease, that is, although this space is closed, the inside is not completely sealed, because I can still use teleportation skills.

Speaking of skills, I just discovered that my attributes have been reduced by more than half in this place. Now my strength is probably at my level of about level 40, and at most it is better than ordinary people. The previous buff mission was very frightening. It suppressed me from more than 2,200 levels to just over 100 levels. The result is now even more severe, with only over 40 levels left. If this strength were outside, it would be trampled on by others! Fortunately, everyone will be suppressed in this place, so I am not worried anymore. After all, the monsters set by the system are set according to the player's strength. After the players' attributes are suppressed, it is impossible for the system to create those particularly powerful creatures.

Since I don't understand the situation at all, all I can do is try to explore here first. If this is a real space, then Zhenhong and the others may have also been teleported in, but the landing point is different. Of course, I didn't forget to experiment with the communicator and the ring of love before taking action, but both of them were useless, so I still had to find a way out on my own.

The structure of this damn wooden building is quite bad. The armor on my body seems to be too heavy. When I walk on the floor, I can clearly hear that the ground feels overwhelmed. That creaking sound made it impossible for me to hide even if I wanted to. If there was an enemy in this damn place, unless he was deaf, he would have already known that I was coming. But to think about it differently, if Zhenhong and the others are here, my voice might actually help us reunite.

After taking two steps forward along the corridor, a door appeared on the right. The door of this Japanese-style building is a sliding door. But it's not the kind of paper door. There are really wooden boards on the inside, but there is a layer of paper on the outside, just like wallpaper, with patterns on it, which is a kind of decoration.

After opening the wooden door, I discovered that it seemed to be a bedroom. Japanese bedrooms did not have beds, at least in ancient times. The floor of the room is a layer of tatami, which is actually just a layer of mats added on top of the floor cage. There is a row of windows on the opposite side of the room, but unlike the corridor, those windows all have window paper. So can't see outside. To the right of the door is another wall. There is a quite large space on the left, but there is nothing in it. There are only wall cabinets on the side of the wall, and there is obviously an open wall cabinet in the center. A shrine or something like that was placed there. But I don’t know what it is for. Because there is no idol in it. There is no incense or anything like that now, just an incense burner in front of an empty shrine.

I scanned the room and didn't seem to see anything, but just when I was about to close the door and go out. Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed a black shadow swaying past the wall to my right. I keenly caught the black shadow and then suddenly turned my head to look above me in the direction of its movement. The moment I turned my head, I felt all the hairs on my body stand up in an instant, because right above my head, above the door, there was a humanoid object clinging to the corner of the ceiling.

This thing is obviously humanoid, wearing a dark red Japanese kimono, with long hair, and a slightly distorted face, but it is definitely a woman's face, but the face is a bit frighteningly white, as if it is made of high-grade cement powder, pale and pale It gave people the feeling of being covered with a layer of frost, and the eyes of this human face had no pupils, the entire eyeballs were pitch black, and the lips were black, bruised, and a little chapped.

If a normal person suddenly turned around after entering the room and saw something like this hanging upside down from the ceiling above the door frame, I think most people would be paralyzed at that time. Those who react better may even know how to run. If you scream in fear, you can count on your psychological endurance. The ability is pretty good, and probably half of them faint directly.

However, I am different from ordinary people. After all, I am no longer a human being. There are still many differences between the physical characteristics of dragons and humans. At least I didn't have any problems with this thing. Of course, due to my previous worldview, I would definitely be shocked when I suddenly saw such a thing. I was shocked at the time, but I quickly returned to normal.

However, that thing is obviously not only capable of scaring people with its appearance, this thing is a real monster, because as soon as I saw her, she grinned her lips, revealing a mouth of sharp yellow teeth, and then stretched out her chicken claw-like palms. It fell directly from the ceiling.

"Holy shit, are you so hungry?" Looking at the evil spirit that jumped down, most people would have turned around and ran away now, even if they had not been scared before. However, my reaction was completely different, because I was in that evil spirit. The moment the spirit jumped down, he didn't move at all. He just raised his left hand, then accurately passed between her hands and pinched her neck.

Ghosts like to choke people, and I like it too. It happened that although we didn't have an advantage in height, the female ghost in front of me was obviously shorter than me, so her arms were not as long as mine. As a result, I choked her neck before she could touch it.

In fact, since this action can be considered as reaction, I never thought that this female ghost could be touched. But in fact she can really be touched. The cold touch from my hand made my whole body numb. This guy's body felt like a piece of frozen meat, so cold and hard that it was quite uncomfortable. Moreover, this guy is quite powerful. Of course, it may be because my power is suppressed too much. Anyway, although I grabbed her neck, I couldn't withstand the impact of this guy, and she was actually knocked over. But my reaction was still there, so before I fell, I used my skills to change directions with the female ghost in the air. As a result, when I actually fell, she was lying on the ground, and I was holding her with one hand. Her neck was riding on her belly.

The female ghost probably didn't expect such a change. After being twisted by me, she was stunned for a moment, and then she began to struggle violently. Her colleague also let out a scream, but the sound was not very sharp. But it was very hoarse, and it felt like talking when your throat was so dry that it was smoking, with a rustling sound.

The female ghost tried to get up after being pinned down, but my hands kept squeezing her neck and pressing her to the ground to prevent her from moving. So the female ghost pinched my wrist with her right hand and tried hard to pull me off. She twisted her hand away, but although my strength was suppressed, it was obviously a little bit stronger than hers, so even though I was struggling, she did not remove my hand.

Feeling that the hand on my neck couldn't be moved away, the female ghost immediately changed her strategy and scratched my face with her claws. When I raised my head, she realized that her arms were not long enough to reach my hand. When she wanted to use another method, I suddenly grabbed her neck and suddenly lifted her up from the ground. He threw it over his head and hit the floor on the other side. However, this was obviously my mistake, because at the moment when the female ghost collided with the ground, she passed through the ground like a non-existent shadow, and as a result, I was punched by myself. On the ground, with a bang, a hole was opened directly in the ground for me. If I hadn't reacted quickly and not let go, she would have run away right now.

Obviously, this female ghost still has the characteristics of a ghost. She can easily pass through walls, but for some reason she seems unable to break away from my hand by becoming virtual. But whatever the reason for this phenomenon, at least it's a good thing for me.

"Aren't you quite cunning!" After standing up from the ground, I pinched the female ghost's neck and lifted her up. Then I used my height advantage to lift her in the air to prevent her from touching the surrounding walls. The trick is useless.

When the female ghost saw me lifting it up, she began to struggle desperately. She pinched my wrist with both hands to make me let go, but the result was the same as before, she couldn't move my fingers at all.

When I held the female ghost up, I realized that the female ghost seemed to weigh very little. She weighed about ten kilograms, which was not as heavy as those fat cats. If this were a living person, she would weigh at least ninety kilograms. Is it more than 5 pounds?

The other party struggled for a while and found that she couldn't get it open at all. Then she seemed to realize that it was impossible to save her, and then she started to change her strategy again. But I don't know how to be soft, so I couldn't let her slowly test her various methods there. Just when she stopped struggling and started yelling at me, I suddenly raised my hand and slapped her.

This loud slap silenced her screams. She probably hasn't realized yet how she met such a weirdo like me and dared to slap her. However, before she could figure out what was going on, I slapped her five or six more times in succession, this time completely knocking her out.

"Stop screaming? If you stop screaming, calm down and let's have a good communication. Isn't it annoying for you to scream all the time?" (To be continued...)
