Chapter 165 Ghouls, and Tickets for the Dark Festival (Supplement)

The cheers rang out from the end of the cave and echoed in Xia Ren's ears. He could not tell what the humanoid creatures said, because it was definitely not the language of humans, or even the sound that humans could make. Even if they called the best voice actor on Blue Star and shouted their throats, they could not imitate even one of them!

Even though he knew that this was an illusion, not a reality, when those humanoid creatures in black robes walked past him, Xia Ren was still so scared that he trembled all over.

These facial features are all physical intuitions such as vision, hearing, touch, etc., but are terror from the origin. These creatures make him feel evil from the bottom of his heart!

Yes, it is evil. Except for this word, all the words created by human beings from birth are difficult to describe.

Fortunately, the illusion did not last long, and Xia Ren quickly woke up from it.

This feeling was not good. He felt that his body and consciousness were pulling back and forth in two completely different worlds in a short period of time, and it was like falling from the sky to the ground within a second. The huge contrast made it difficult for him to adapt.

Xia Ren shook his head fiercely, trying to expel the discomfort from his body, but the effect was not very good.

In my impression, he had seen two illusions from the hospital that afternoon until he was selected by the system. After a long time after being selected by the system, he saw it once when he woke up. Then he was possessed by Fang Bin, a second-class infected body, and then he was attacked by the apostle Liu Fusheng. When the tentacles helped him to help him clear the scene, he heard the sounds of waves and whispers echoing in his ears, and there were no illusions.

In fact, it is not difficult to see that this has a lot to do with the system, or it may be related to his distortion value. In short, Xia Ren has not had a similar illusion for a long time, and now it appears again, which is enough to show the severity of this incident.

"What are those humanoid creatures in black robes? What festival do they attend?"

More importantly, why do you suddenly have illusions?

Without holding on to his doubts, the system gave the answer, and a string of fonts unfolded in his mind:

[New side quests have been released: Hunting Ghouls!

Under the brilliant neon lights, abominable things live in dark places, chewing on human corpses. Those who believe in darkness and want to fall, expect light, long for the place where they hide their bodies.

Mission Requirements: Hunting a dark family ghoul.

Mission reward: 1000 achievement points, ancient dream fragments, dark festival tickets, choose one of them three times.]

"It turned out to be, a ghoul?"

Xia Ren stood there, watching the task prompts repeatedly in his mind, and making sure that he had read it correctly.

It's really a ghoul.

He is not unfamiliar with these three words. There are legends of ghouls circulating in many places on Blue Star. They are remembered that they look ugly, have hunched figures, have green skin and sharp minions, and are usually low IQ. They like to live in cemeteries. Food is human corpses, and they appear as cannon fodder in many film and television works and games.

I never expected that there was a ghoul in the real world!

This is the first time he knows that polluted organisms are also recorded in human society.

Moreover, according to the mission introduction, the ghoul seems to be divided into two camps, and his target is the family members of the dark camp.

Xia Ren slowly came back to his senses from the shock, and then realized that the tentacles had reached out at some point.

Qin Yun and Liu Xiuxiu both looked fearful and stood outside the door and watched him carefully. Perhaps the scene that appeared in the tentacle just now scared them.

Xia Ren took a long breath and retracted the tentacles that had grown to five or six meters long and thicker than his thighs into his body. This thing looked quite imposing, but in fact, the silver gun wax pole head was at most an auxiliary function when fighting. It was like the tail of a gecko, which was extremely fragile and broke when touched. Instead, it accidentally made him feel so painful that he almost fainted.

"It's okay, I was a little excited just now."

Xia Ren smiled at them and explained.

Seeing that he returned to normal, Qin Yun relaxed a lot. His appearance just now was so scary, especially the tentacle. It felt like it would be eaten as food as soon as it approached. She was really worried that something was wrong with Xia Ren.

Liu Xiuxiu patted her barren chest, looking shocked. Fortunately, she ran out when she was cleaning the house and was not in the scene wrapped in tentacles, otherwise she would have been scared to death.

"This is……"

The three of them stood in front of the closet again and looked at the stairs inside.

"I guess this building was designed like this when it was first established."

Xia Ren waved the air in front of him with his hand, but the rotten smell continued to spread. After trying it twice, he had to give up.

"Close the door first, let's go in and take a look."

The stairs seem to have not been used for a long time. When you step on them, you can step on a noticeable shoe print, and dust floats in the air, making it even more turbid.

"This staircase should lead to any floor of the building, and there should be similar wardrobes in the rest of the room."

Xia Ren said his speculation while walking.

The stairs were short, and they quickly finished and came to the hidden sixth floor.

On this floor, there is no wardrobe for hiding, and there is not even a door, and it is completely pitch black. Xia Ren saw that there was no light bulb on it.

The entire sixth floor is an empty hall with only a few cement columns in the middle and the floor is paved with cement. It is rough and simple, which is far from the bottom.

That disgusting smell of decay comes from here, and is accompanied by a polluted atmosphere.

Because the space is too large, for convenience, Xia Ren first woke up with Qin Yun and the others, then extended his tentacles to assist in the investigation.

With the help of night vision, he could see suspicious stains scattered on some parts of the floor and suspected blood splattering on the walls.

"It seems that there were ghouls living here, but what does he have to do with this school? The structure of this building is simply for ghouls to hunt."

While observing these traces, Xia Ren analyzed them based on the existing information and wanted to find the answer.

If he is lucky, he may be able to obtain the whereabouts of a ghoul to complete the side mission just released by the system.

But it is not for mission rewards, it is simply a human being, and it is naturally curious about unknown creatures.

Moreover, the rewards given this time are also very suspicious. He can understand the achievement point and the ancient dream fragments. Both of them are needed, but the ticket to the Dark Festival is a bit indescribable.

If what he expected was, the Dark Festival was the scene he saw in the illusion just now. The problem was that attending the festival was not a human being, but all of them were ghouls!

What did Xia Ren do in the past? Do you take the initiative to provide them with food?

As for taking the ghoul in one fell swoop, he never thought about it. Even if the system means this, he would pretend that he didn't see it.

Just kidding, you must know that there are quite a few ghouls passing by him, but each one gives him a feeling of suffocation. In other words, any one of them can make him shark, and he doesn't even have to raise his ashes, and he just chewed it for a few times and swallowed it.

Xia Ren felt that unless his head was lined up for the donkey group to kick it over, he would only choose the ticket if he was crazy.

"The system really wants me to die. Before the chaser can understand, he gave me the entire mission of hunting ghouls."

Just as he was thinking, Xiuxiu's cry suddenly sounded in the empty hall: "Xia Ren, here, I found a room!"

Xia Ren and Qin Yun hurried over and found that this was a small house of only about twenty square meters, with toilets and beds inside, but they had not been used for a long time.

“It seems that someone has lived here.”

Qin Yun said.

"I always feel depressed here and I feel a little breathless."

Liu Xiuxiu raised her watch, and the pointer on it kept spinning around.

"Aren't you afraid of being contaminated?"

Xia Ren asked clearly.

In fact, if it is serious, he will not let the other party come in at all.

Liu Xiuxiu gave him a blank look: "If the pollution concentration is too high, the watch will give me a prompt."

"There is also this function. Do you have any backups for your watch? Let me do one."

Xia Ren said with a shameless face.

If he had the chance, he really wanted to give his sister Xia Qiudong, as well as his friends Gao Le and Yu Jingjing some things that could resist pollution. Until now, he has just given his sister an old seal.

"You think it's a product sold outside."

Liu Xiuxiu quickly protected her watch, afraid that he would really snatch it away from him: "I only have this one, and if it breaks, I have to send it back to the headquarters for repair, there is nothing extra at all."

Xia Ren asked again: "I remember you said before that there will be rewards for reporting the apostles to the foundation. Now that the identity of the apostle Liu Fusheng has been confirmed, then when will my reward come down?"

"Well……"

Liu Xiuxiu really forgot about this matter.

Because ordinary people have no chance to know the existence of the apostles, the whistleblowers are investigators, and the rewards given by the foundation are usually props to help resist pollution, which can increase the investigators' chances of survival. As an apostle, what are you doing? Do you hurt yourself? He doesn't look masochistic.

"I won't mention this for now."

Seeing him stunned, Xia Ren continued, "I want to provide you with important news now."

Did he know another apostle?

Is this guy so keen on selling his compatriots?

Liu Xiuxiu asked subconsciously: "What news?"

Xia Ren looked around and said word by word: "Ghost."

"What!"

Liu Xiuxiu's voice suddenly rose a lot, and then she realized that although this was the sixth floor and there were no outsiders, it would be very troublesome if someone else heard it. She quickly covered her mouth and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure? How did you learn the news? Where is the ghoul?"

Qin Yun was confused. She could only know with this name that it was probably not a good thing.

Judging from his reaction, Xia Ren thought that the foundation knew the existence of the ghoul, and it would be rare to find out about the other party.

“There are ghouls here.”

Xia Ren paused: "There has been."

Tentacles had already conveyed his disappointment to him just now, indicating that the ghoul was no longer there, and there was only the other party's breath here.

Xia Ren felt that it was impossible for him to complete the task of hunting ghouls alone, and he also needed to rely on the power of the foundation. Anyway, the task required was to kill the ghouls who had been dark all the time, and he did not say that he had to fight alone in 1v1, so he asked the investigator to take action and he would finally go up and finish the attack.

Liu Xiuxiu was shocked and looked around the entire sixth floor: "You mean, there was a ghoul hiding here once?"

This information is very large.

The building belongs to the center of Dawn, and this sixth floor is specially built, which shows that the builder had planned to let the ghoul stay here at the beginning.

Even if you are not here at the moment, just finding the person in charge of the building is equivalent to finding a clue to the ghoul!

The two were gathering together to communicate tense and exciting topics, but Qin Yun couldn't get in and listened to each other, while involuntarily distracting her attention.

"What is this?"

She pulled a rope from the wall next to her. Although the rope itself was a little rough, it felt inexplicably comfortable to touch.

By the time Xia Ren noticed Qin Yun, she had her feet off the ground.
