Ruan Qing knew that the thing must be afraid of Qi Muran.
When the shadow extended its black tentacles, Qi Muran glanced faintly at the black tentacles. The tentacles froze, then immediately melted back into the shadow.
Qi Muran retracted his gaze very quickly, as if he had casually glanced at it without seeing anything.
Because when Qi Muran looked over, the shadow froze for a moment, unable to hide back in the darkness in time.
Moreover, in their direction, there were only Qi Muran and Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing didn’t think he had the ability to scare away the shadow, and the talisman from Qiao Nuo required physical contact.
It was evident who scared the shadow away.
Qi Muran was definitely not as simple as he claimed, and certainly not as kind as others described.
Because if Qi Muran were really just a powerless healer, he would be frightened when he saw the black tentacles. Even if he wasn’t scared, he would definitely warn the other players.
But he didn’t. He pretended not to see.
Ruan Qing lowered his gaze, concealing the expression in his eyes.
Although Qi Muran scared away the shadow, it didn’t leave. Instead, it returned to the shadow of the player wearing a black T-shirt.
Then, when the players weren’t paying attention, the shadow silently extended its black tentacles towards the player in the black T-shirt.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing widened his eyes and immediately warned the player in the black T-shirt, “Be careful!”
Perhaps already exposed, the shadow’s speed became incredibly fast. It directly entangled the waist and feet of the player in the black T-shirt, then forcefully pulled, dragging the person into the shadow on the ground.
Other players noticed by now and quickly took out props to attack the shadow on the ground.
Unlike Shen Yu’an, supernatural props could harm the shadow.
The shadow had to give up on the entangled player, immediately shifting to the feet of other players to avoid the attacks. During this, it extended its tentacles to attack the player in the black T-shirt, who was about to be dragged into the shadow.
The tentacles seemed incorporeal, just shadows, but when they attacked a person, they became incredibly solid.
“Ah!!!” One player, with slightly longer and gloomy hair, couldn’t dodge in time and was pierced through the hand. The entire hand was instantly covered in blood.
Other players, seeing the situation, immediately took out talismans, attempting to trap the shadow while they could.
However, after successfully striking, the shadow showed no interest in lingering in the battle, immediately merging back into the shadows and shifting to the feet of others.
Moving swiftly among the shadows of several players, the speed was so fast that onlookers began to feel dizzy.
After hopping around for a while, the shadow seemed to vanish into thin air, and everyone’s shadows returned to normal.
But the players knew the shadow ghost hadn’t disappeared; it was hiding within their shadows.
Fear continued to spread.
Nevertheless, the players did not leave the dormitory room.
Cheng Mingzhe was killed because he knew something about the pen spirit, and he seemed to retain consciousness. There must be some clues to be obtained from him.
If they gave up now, they might miss a crucial opportunity.
However, trapping a ghost was no easy task, especially when the ghost was non-corporeal.
The players felt somewhat helpless but were unwilling to give up.
The player in the black T-shirt, after glancing at the shadows around, picked up the phone he hadn’t returned to Ruan Qing. He sent another message to Cheng Mingzhe.
[Counselor: Cheng Mingzhe, we’re here to help you.]
After sending the message, the player in the black T-shirt nervously stared at the chat interface, but this time there was no response.
Apparently, whoever Cheng Mingzhe contacted would be haunted by him. But once haunted, he wouldn’t reply.
The player in the black T-shirt, looking at the unresponsive chat box, sent another message.
[Counselor: Cheng Mingzhe, we really want to help you. We know how you died. If you trust us, I can help you seek revenge.]
However, Cheng Mingzhe still didn’t respond.
Undeterred, the player in the black T-shirt continued sending messages.
[Counselor: Do you have any wishes? We can help fulfill your unfinished wishes.]
Initially, the players had little hope, but surprisingly, this time there was a response from the other side.
[Cheng Mingzhe: ...]
As the player in the black T-shirt stared at the period in a daze, the next message promptly arrived.
[Cheng Mingzhe: Anything is possible?]
Seeing that they could still communicate, the players breathed a sigh of relief and immediately crowded around.
Without hesitation, the player in the black T-shirt typed another line.
[Counselor: As long as you tell us about the pen spirit, we will do our best to help you fulfill your wish.]
[Cheng Mingzhe: I want the beauty over there to be my wife.]
Players: “???” Huh?
Before the players could react, the other side began sending messages rapidly, completely different from the previous question-and-answer format.
Moreover, the speed was as if the other person didn’t need to type at all, almost faster than speaking.
[Cheng Mingzhe: I am male, 187 cm tall, 75 kg, no bad habits, always at the top since childhood, eventually got into the First University with excellent grades, have never killed anyone, very kind.]
[Cheng Mingzhe: And my family is very wealthy, I can offer a dowry of three million, no need for any bride price.]
[Cheng Mingzhe: I will take care of all the housework after marriage, washing, cooking, cleaning the room, all done by me, I can hand over all my salary to my wife, will never argue with my wife, and guarantee to love only my wife for the rest of my life.]
[Cheng Mingzhe: Here are my photos.]
After this sentence, the other side sent over a dozen photos.
Different backgrounds, different angles, different clothes.
The only common point was that they were all carefully taken.
[Cheng Mingzhe: If my wife doesn’t like my appearance, I can find someone she likes and possess their body.]
[Cheng Mingzhe: If my wife likes women, possessing a female body is not out of the question.]
Players: “...”
Not only were the players shocked, even the audience in the live stream room was stunned.
[Help! What is he saying? What strange remarks are these? Is this something a ghost should say?]
[Just a moment ago I thought it was scary, now I think he’s a bit over the top. Does he, a ghost, even deserve to dream of marrying a beauty?! Men really can’t stay quiet even when they’re dead, can they?!]
[Me too. The terrifying filter of the fierce ghost suddenly shattered, and it broke a bit unexpectedly, as if I had gone from horror to some blind date program all of a sudden.]
Players, after reading the information sent by Cheng Mingzhe, subconsciously looked at Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing: “...”
“What are you looking at me for?” Ruan Qing, facing the gaze of several people, looked towards Qi Muran beside him and spoke softly, “Brother Mu also looks very handsome. It may not necessarily be me.”
[Cheng Mingzhe: I’m talking about you.]
Ruan Qing: “...”
Ruan Qing knew that the thing must be afraid of Qi Muran.
When the shadow extended its black tentacles, Qi Muran glanced faintly at the black tentacles. The tentacles froze, then immediately melted back into the shadow.
