Chapter 1114: The Effect of the Joker

The nineteen people in the corridor on the fourth floor consciously formed nine groups in pairs.

There was silence for a moment, and everyone looked at the screen in front of them seriously, especially the peach forest and the white-haired old ghost floating on it.

On the one hand, I was afraid of missing important mission information, but on the other hand, I was trying to capture the details of the old ghost with white hair.

Although the white-haired old ghost was wearing coarse clothes, it still couldn't hide the skeleton's true appearance. It was just that the long white hair made it unclear whether it had a face, let alone facial features.

"The original goal of the store manager's mission remains unchanged. The Ruru mother you want to find is on the screen.

Whoever completes this goal first gets the fourth puzzle piece.

But in the screen world, there are countless supernatural forbidden places, and each forbidden place is a supernatural event and a ghost.

There is a way to survive in all supernatural events, and you can escape through it until you find Ruru's mother's hiding place through step-by-step exploration. "

The general appearance of the sixth store manager assignment has been basically finalized after two conversations.

The white-haired old ghost stopped speaking and still maintained the slightly bowed posture. His thick white hair blocked his face, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking or looking at.

But the deliberate pause was obviously to give the store managers time to digest the information.

Little Qianduye crossed her shoulders with her hands, her face was contemplative, and after a moment she whispered:

"It seems that this store manager's mission is very much like a game. Our main line is to find this Ruru's mother.

However, we will encounter many bosses while searching for the path. We need to defeat these bosses before we can move forward step by step until we complete the main line. "

At the same time, Cheng Ming, the only clerk of the No. 10 store, had a wise light in his eyes. He came between Ji and Xiao Qian and whispered:

"Then there are only two keys to this main line:

First, how to determine Ruru’s mother’s hiding place? I don’t know how big the screen world is, but at least there should be a general range;

Second, how to plan the route to find the hideout to ensure that these bosses are avoided as much as possible. "

Since this is a store manager's job, and Ji Li also serves as the seventh and twelfth branch, there are three people in his team.

After the two clerks expressed their opinions, they unanimously turned their attention to the silent Ji Li.

Xiao Qian didn't need to say more. She knew very well how strong Ji Li's personal strength was.

Cheng Ming was meeting him for the first time, and he had been a bit dissatisfied before, so he also hoped to truly see if Ji Li had other high opinions.

However, they immediately discovered that Ji Li did not seem to be too interested in what the white-haired old ghost said. On the contrary, his eyes were firmly fixed on the ghost.

Ji Li has been looking at this ghost and thinking about a question:

"Why should such a ghost explain the content of this mission?"

In his opinion, this is the most important question to think about now, instead of focusing on the well-known main lines of tasks.

There are many people who hold the same idea, but they are basically store managers and the like.

Finally, one person couldn't help it anymore. He took a step forward, pointed at the white-haired old ghost with one hand and asked in a deep voice:

"Why are you the one explaining the task rules?"

This man was dressed in black and had gray hair, but his aura was particularly strong. When he stepped forward, his face was resolute and his voice was like a bell.

The third branch, Hou Guisheng.

Under everyone's gaze, the white-haired old ghost showed no expression, but he did not answer the question. Instead, he changed the subject:

"This store manager's mission adds a specific crime - the ghost card."

As soon as these words were spoken, a transparent card made of crystal material suddenly appeared in the hands of the nineteen store managers and clerks.

This transparent card is similar in size and appearance to common playing cards. It looks light and airy when held in the hand, but its edges and corners are very hard.

Xiao Qiandu Ye gently scraped the edges with the pads of his fingers, and a white mark immediately appeared on the skin, with faint blood oozing out, showing that it was as sharp as a knife.

“Nineteen people, each one has a ghost card.

When not activated, this card is blank.

But after successfully solving a supernatural event, you can choose whether to seal the ghost into the card.

If you choose this ghost card as a card, then the ghost card effect will be activated——

‘The holder can release the ghosts in the card at any time and cause the original supernatural events to reappear.

The original supernatural events will give priority to confront other supernatural events and play a confrontational role. ’”

Ghost card?

Hou Guisheng lowered his head and looked at the transparent hard card in his palm. It was obvious that he was now in the "white card state" that the white-haired old ghost referred to.

Once he enters the screen world and encounters a supernatural event, he can make his own choice whether to activate this card after finding a way out.

After activation, the white card becomes a ghost card, which can release ghosts and supernatural events at any time.

When encountering subsequent supernatural events and reaching an extreme crisis state, you can use ghost cards to delay and compete...

This is a very powerful confrontational sin object.

But there was one thing that the white-haired old ghost didn't say clearly, but he knew very well that the use of ghost cards may not always be beneficial.

Under normal circumstances, using ghost cards means being involved in two supernatural events.

Although the supernatural events sealed by ghost cards are known to have a way out, the way out for some events is not to restrain the ghosts, but just a way to end the incident.

In other words, one of the situations you are likely to face when using the ghost card is that after using the ghost card, you can only temporarily avoid the crisis, but you will immediately face the different strangles of two ghosts.

Just as Hou Guisheng was thinking, the white-haired old ghost further added the explanation about the joker card:

"The ghost in the joker card has only one chance to change the ghost."

There is one error tolerance.

Hou Guisheng nodded secretly. Each card can change the ghost once, which gives a lot of room for operation.

For the joker card, the ghost is not the key, the supernatural events attached to the ghost are the most important.

Supernatural events in different scenes have different uses!

For store managers, they cannot manipulate ghosts, but they can choose different supernatural events to achieve different effects and do different things.

For example, restrict other ghosts, escape from the current deadlock... or eliminate other competitors!

The store manager task is the cruelest task, because it is an out-and-out death game.

There is only one piece of puzzle pieces in a task, but so many people are fighting for it, so competition is inevitable in the process.

Then the appearance of the joker card is equivalent to adding a strong confrontation attribute to the already bad environment.

The time came to 15:21, and the peach blossoms on the screen were getting denser and denser, and the figure of the white-haired old ghost was almost completely obscured by the rain of flowers.

At this time, the general rules had been basically explained, and the white-haired old ghost slightly raised his skeleton right hand.

Among the 19 people on the fourth floor, nine store managers had another parchment roll in their right hands.

Ji Li put away the white card that had not yet been activated, slowly unfolded the parchment roll, and a map of about 20 inches appeared in front of him.

On this map, there were many circles marking some places, a total of 32 places, but 11 of them had the names of the places written down.

Such as the tearing ghost, the ash ghost, the bowing ghost, the split head ghost...

As for the remaining 21 places, all of them were hidden names.

This seems to indicate that the 11 places with names have been explored, and they must be the masterpieces of Li Yi, Gu Xingjian and others.

As for the remaining 21 spiritual forbidden places, no one has explored them, and what is inside is unknown.

Ji Li noticed that among the 32 supernatural forbidden places, five of them were marked with red circles.

One of the five red-circled forbidden places had been explored by a previous person, who left sixteen words there:

"Red forbidden place, free movement. There are no ghosts to deal with, and you will die if you go there.

-Li Congrong."
