When A Destructive Wolf Joins An Escape Game

Chapter 6 - Mourning Vigil

A magical girl, it really was a very tempting offer. Jian Linglong hesitated for only less than five seconds before nodding her head to express her agreement.

In modern society, children were more knowledgeable. A twelve-year-old child ought to be quite precocious, but couldn’t withstand the shocking turn of events that occurred previously. The ghost had appeared, magic was still far away? Consequently, Jian Linglong chose to believe Gu Mozhi.

However, strictly speaking, Gu Mozhi doesn’t know any magic. But the demon’s innate skills seemed to be barely classified as magic.

So Gu Mozhi comfortably used this to trick the young girl, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he started the process. The easiest way for an ordinary person to master the magic of demon skill was to turn her into a demon as well.

The high-level lineage in Purgatory could be bestowed on other creatures, such as the kinship giving people their first embrace, the werewolf bite infection, and the undead virus infestation. Demons’ endowment was relatively troublesome, after all, it was one of the top races in Purgatory. Gu Mozhi used the original magic power to condense a demon seed which was planted into Jian Linglong’s heart.

This method was quite inefficient, but the safest and had a relatively small impact on Gu Mozhi. After all, it was a seed condensed with his magic power, which will consume a little of his strength and will require slow recovery.

Jian Linglong touched her heart in a daze. She had a strange feeling that the blood in her body had produced a slight change when it flowed through her heart. As if …… infused with strange energy?

It will take about three days for the demon seed to slowly change her physique. Within these three days, she would gradually become demonic, gaining some demonic heritage and awakening demonic talents.

For instance – Jian Linglong suddenly felt that those NPCs exuded a good smell.

She gulped and asked suspiciously, “Big brother, do those townspeople carry tasty food on them?”

“Call me teacher.” Gu Mozhi abruptly stated before replying, “No, they were just covered with delicacies’ scent after staying with it for a long time.”

Not knowing that the so-called delicacy scent was a ghost Qi 1, Jian Linglong nodded blankly, and asked after a while: “Why do you want me to call you a teacher?”

Gu Mozhi said with a natural expression on his face: “Because I don’t want to be your father.”

Obtaining his demon seed to become a demon, basically equivalent to becoming his adopted daughter. However, Gu Mozhi thought that he was still so young and handsome and he couldn’t be promoted so quickly 2 . Thus, he might as well just take in a student.

Besides, the teacher or what-not, sounded very beastly, he liked it.

The problem of appellation was solved and Jian Linglong didn’t continue to ask questions, as when she mentioned this matter, she received the inheritance of relevant information in her mind. This heritage east one hammer and west one stick3 will sprung up correspondingly when triggered. Although it was very troublesome, it was still better than a brain enlightenment, so as not to burst the brain.

Jian Linglong tried to actively think about how to use spells, which really reminded her of a few. Seeing that there were no other players around, she tried it with great enthusiasm. A small flame rose from her fingertips, which was very cute.

“It worked!” She exclaimed with great surprise.

As a result, the flame disappeared abruptly in the next second. Jian Linglong frowned and tried a few more times, but she couldn’t use it anymore, as if the magic power inside her body was blocked and was forbidden to come out.

“Teacher.” Jian Linglong told Gu Mozhi about the matter.

After listening, Gu Mozhi immediately tried it for himself, and found that even he couldn’t use his magical powers, he was a little upset.

Almost stuck, a system message was sent to their system interface: [Players, please play the game conscientiously, don’t use mysterious powers beyond the scope of science to maintain the fairness of the game!]

Gu Mozhi: ha ha 4

It seems that he had been targeted by the system, or maybe it was the main god? In short, he was being watched because he was too high-profile before.

Just a moment ago, Jian Linglong’s usage of magic power gave the other side a wake up call, they immediately reacted and hurriedly sealed their magic power. The action was really fast. It couldn’t be helped, who would let Gu Mozhi’s strength affect the balance too much, and let him use magic power.

However, sealing his power would not greatly affect Gu Mozhi. Even if he was weak as a chicken, he still had a natural advantage to suppress food. Not to mention that the only thing that was sealed now is his magic power. Therefore, his physical ability was still there, and this alone could sling food.

It’s just that Jian Linglong, who had just become a demon, had to wait a few days for her physical abilities to turn completely demonic. Furthermore, because of her young age, she could only possess the basic physical abilities of an imp5 before she reached adulthood, and could only continuously grow after reaching adulthood. It was still too early to mention these.

In short, Jian Linglong finally got a little self-protection method, and once returned to the pre-liberation period, she would become a weak chicken again. Fortunately, the demon blood in her body could suppress the ghosts, allowing the ghosts to display at most half their strength in front of her, and the safety factor was greatly increased.

With the addition of a little apprentice, many things were much more convenient for Gu Mozhi. He no longer needs to deal and battle with the NPCs by himself now. Jian Linglong, who was drooling from ghost qi with greed, took the initiative to move forward and help him talk to the townspeople.

Of course, the content of the question they asked had nothing to do with restraining ghosts. It only revolves around where they could accidentally bump into ghosts and have fun chatting with them. Unfortunately, there was nothing to gain, which disappointed Gu Mozhi.

In the evening, the mentor and his apprentice returned to the mourning hall.

At this time, many players gathered in the mourning hall, each holding and nibbling a dry steamed buns.

“Is this what you are having for dinner?” Jian Linglong asked as she moved over.

After becoming a demon, Jian Linglong had become more outgoing and active. Although she hadn’t yet shown the bear side of an imp6, she couldn’t be taken lightly. Gu Mozhi was very curious, could her well-behaved human nature suppress the demon’s mischievous nature.

The female college student smiled at her helplessly and wanted to share a steamed bun with her: “This is the cheapest, I can’t afford anything else.”

After going out, the players felt hungry and fished out their trouser pockets. They have money but not much. They have to stay here for six days and seven nights. Even if they eat two meals a day, it was still twelve meals and the money for each meal was very little. In order not to be hungry in the next few days, no one dared to spend money lavishly. After a long time, they found out that they could only afford to eat steamed buns, which was very bitter.

Jian Linglong shook her head quickly and refused. She didn’t want to eat steamed buns as after becoming a demon, she gained the ability to resist hunger. Therefore, one meal in a few days will suffice.

Gu Mozhi unhurriedly walked behind them. He was unhappy as he failed at finding food and was even more upset to see a room full of steamed buns. He was not sensitive to such flavorless food, but felt nauseous looking at it.

When the players saw his unsightly look, they all shut up, not daring to whisper anymore. It wasn’t until Gu Mozhi and Jian Linglong found a place to sit down and rest. As they were far away from them, they slowly recovered.

The female college student was not afraid to share what she had discovered throughout the day while eating steamed buns. In fact, there wasn’t much gain, they just lamented that it was too difficult to make money here.

Originally, they wanted to earn more money, so that they could at least eat better. Afterwards, it was discovered that this was an illusion, and there was no channel for players to make money in the town.

“I-I know how to earn money.” A familiar voice sounded. Gu Mozhi looked over and found that it was the player who he had taken away this morning.

The player touched his nose, a trace of terror flashed in his eyes: ” Regarding the morning matters ……”

Seeing everyone watching over, he quickly recounted the morning incident. Although some players had already heard about it, there were still others who hadn’t heard of it before. Hearing him say that such a terrible thing would happen if he stayed in the mourning hall during the day, everyone turned pale in fright.

“Actually, before the three of them made a mistake in entertaining the townspeople, they also entertained two townspeople without any problems. Those two gave them a ‘tip’, and I think that those tips were the money we could use at our own will. But then they were killed by the townspeople and were dragged straight away. Their money also didn’t remain.”

So for now, it seems likely that entertaining the townspeople during the day was the only way to make money, but it was just very dangerous.

The players looked down at the white steamed buns in their hands, and after a moment of silence, decided to eat the steamed buns. Well, the steamed buns were so delicious.

""

At this moment, Pink head also had finished eating. He wiped his mouth and said: ““While it’s still dark, decide who will hold a vigil tonight. By the way, try to analyze the situation last night to ensure everyone’s safety.”

“Okay.” The female college student was the first to respond to him, “I think it should be as long as you honestly entertain ghosts and incense at night, you can send them away. Ghosts don’t have as many mourning rules as the townspeople, so it’s easier, too. Safer than during the day.”

“But what if the ghosts were only easy to kill on the first day?” Some people have different opinions.

“Moreover, it was safer last night. The female ghost made several shots to hurt people, but big brother was strong and didn’t get hurt.”

“That’s right, it is reasonable to say that the night is definitely more dangerous than the day. How can it be as simple as mourning at night, but more difficult during the day?”

The female college student shook her head without refuting. She didn’t agree with their opinions, but she also didn’t know how to persuade them.

Still, Pink Head reminded them of a phrase, “Don’t forget this is a novice instance.”

The difficulty of this novice instance was not high, and it was normal to easily pass the level at night. Although it was difficult to mourn during the day, it wasn’t mandatory. If the players were satisfied with having white steamed buns for a week, they could skip it.

What’s more: “Don’t you forget that the last day is the first seventh day period after a person’s death. The ghost that will appear on the last day should be the soul of the dead person in the coffin. It isn’t unexpected that he is the BOSS of this instance. The seventh night is definitely the most dangerous time, we don’t know how many of us will survive.”

Pink head was somewhat pessimistic. He felt that the selection of newcomers in this instance was concentrated on the seventh night, and the first six nights were just warm-ups.

Once they heard him say that, everyone got nervous. Yes, there was still the first seventh day period after a person’s death! If it was really the boss that came, it would be dangerous if they were trapped in the room and could not go to the street.

“Isn’t it possible not to hold vigil?” The young man said boldly, “Let the big guy deal with the seventh night, we’ll just hide in the room.”

Pink head groaned and said nothing, how could there be such a good thing.

“Who told you it is safe to be in this room?” Jian Linglong blinked and said crisply, “During the day there are ghosts in the room, but at night there is no such thing? The system doesn’t say that!”

The young man’s body stiffened, he hadn’t considered this point.
