Chapter 163: Chapter 73: People Catching Ghosts

After reading the rules, even Gao Xin was stunned for a moment.

The rules were simple, but the content was extremely difficult.

A beginner-level game, yet it had so many instant kills.

And these rules... there weren’t even any survival rewards!

The Glass People all had ashen faces. Was this the difficulty level for a beginner-level game? The games they had experienced before weren’t like this.

This was just a game where ghosts crazily chased people, at most a few Radiations killing each other, vying for the identity of the ghost.

How could they, the Glass People, survive?

The most terrifying part was that at the end of the game, everyone would be wiped out, with only one ghost surviving.

The rules clearly stipulated sole survival, how could they compete with these Radiations?

"What’s the damn point of playing this!"

"How could it be this difficult?"

Two members of the Viking Gang Radiations widened their eyes in shock. Although they weren’t team-matched, they knew each other and ended up together, naturally hoping to survive together.

But with only one ghost, even if the two of them eliminated all the other competitors, who would then become the ghost?

"You... who exactly is the Super Patron? Speak up!" Kerry stared intently at each person.

Gao Xin sighed. This indeed did not seem like the difficulty level of a beginner-level game.

So-called beginner-level games weren’t all as easy as his first one, where Radiations could easily survive.

Actually, from the moment Gao Xin clashed with Fatty Pig and realized that the other was also a true wolf, he sensed that this game was not going to be simple.

At this moment, when he heard Kerry mention the difficulty mutation, Gao Xin thought to himself that indeed, the side effects of earning a 50,000 reward last time had come.

Were the privileged audience so easy to threaten? Super Patrons’ difficulty levels would be raised.

He had actually been mentally prepared for this, hence he also had the thought of casually joining a beginner-level game today, just to test the waters.

Indeed, the first Radiation he was matched with was an entire team of true wolves!

Furthermore, the rules demanded that they vie and kill each other frantically, not even allowing any room for slacking off, with not even survival rewards.

However, this game wasn’t just about killing each other in a straightforward manner.

Gao Xin’s eyes narrowed, and he was just about to speak.

Suddenly, Fatty Pig said with a dark face, "I... I received a 5,000 reward last round."

"Sss, you Fatty Pig, we’re really out of luck getting paired with you!" the two men from the Viking Gang said with red eyes, frantic.

Fatty Pig said coldly, "I play my own game. Who I get matched with isn’t under my control!"

"Anyhow, only one can live, so I’ll tear you apart right now!"

With that, his body swelled, and blue veins popped out all over as patterns crisscrossed across his skin.

In an instant, everyone braced for battle, glaring at each other with hostility.

Only one could survive this game; everyone was a mortal enemy.

Just as tensions were at their peak, Number 97 dropped down fifteen streams of material.

Suddenly sparks flew off everyone’s necks, and in a blink, fifteen collars appeared, materializing directly on everyone’s necks.

In the middle of each collar, at the throat, there was a small screen.

It emitted a blue glow, and an icon of a little person was spinning in a circle, the same for everyone’s collar.

"Identity distribution completed. The game will officially begin in one minute," said Number 97, and after speaking, the apartment’s main door swung open and he no longer appeared.

Immediately, the group of Glass People closest to the door rushed in madly, desperate to get ahead.

Although it was extremely difficult for Glass People to survive under these rules, it wasn’t completely impossible.

The apartment was big enough. If the Glass People could find the Demon Blade first and then hide until time was up, couldn’t they survive? Even though it seemed like a pipe dream, they had no other choice.

"Whoosh!" Kerry also tried to quickly enter the apartment.

But a huge dark shadow swooped down. He ducked on the spot and hastily dodged aside.

"Thud!"

Fatty Pig blocked the entire doorway; his arms spread wide as he said viciously, "Come on, fight. I’ll take you all on at once; anyone who doesn’t is a coward."

Once the game officially started, staying outside the apartment meant instant elimination.

Now less than a minute remained.

Clearly, Fatty Pig intended to use this opportunity to kill a Radiation or two.

The two men from the Viking Gang had grim expressions, "You’re asking for death! Let’s take him down together; first, we’ll slaughter this Fatty Pig!"

Kerry glanced disdainfully and pulled out a dagger from his coat.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Suddenly, the three Radiations shoulder to shoulder, attacked Fatty Pig in a group.

"Hmph!" Without any hesitation, Fatty Pig immediately overclocked his organs, and his speed surged as he swung his fists like shooting stars.

He was incredibly fierce, fighting one against three without falling behind.

He didn’t even use his full strength when fighting Gao Xin before. Now with organ overclocking, even the disadvantage in speed was compensated for.

"Ghost Mask, you might as well join in too!" Fatty Pig even had the energy to provoke Gao Xin.

If it was really one against four, he wasn’t up to it. In fact, Kerry plus two strong men from the Viking Gang together weighed five hundred kilograms, enough to defeat him.

But as long as he could withstand them for one minute, he was confident of that.

Yet, Gao Xin just smiled, "I don’t believe this game only allows one to survive."

"What we should be doing now is to hurry and find the blade, not playfight here."

"If the Glass People destroy the Demon Blade, that’s when the game truly ends."

Fatty Pig roared, "Would the other Glass People let the Demon Blade be destroyed? Even if they find it, they will fight over it first."

"As long as you die, I still control this game."

Gao Xin didn’t move and simply said, "You can’t stop anyone."

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The sound of the axe clashing with the gauntlets was incessant.

"Get lost!" With a bellow, Fatty Pig sent the two Viking Gang strongmen flying.

He was the gatekeeper, no one could break through.

But Kerry hesitated no longer to tangle with him, taking the chance to leap up, jumping more than ten meters high and landing directly in front of the fourth-floor apartment window.

With a slash of his dagger, he shattered the window, ready to make his entrance.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gun-mounted gauntlets on Fatso’s fists spit out tongues of flame as bullets shot forth.

His marksmanship was strangely accurate—it tore into Kerry’s flesh, opening up wounds.

Even so, Kerry endured the pain, grabbed hold of the window ledge, and flashed inside.

"Tch! Coward!" cursed Fatso in frustration.

The apartment was fragile, not some sturdy structure forged from special metals.

It was an old-style building made of steel-reinforced concrete. There was no need to enter strictly through the door—Radiation easily burst through the windows.

So Fatso had initially used provocative language, trying to see if he could keep at least one of them at bay.

But sighting two members of the Viking Gang already inside, there was no point in wasting more words on Fatso.

"Brother, let’s split up and charge in!"

"Alright!"

The two split left and right around the front of the apartment, intending to break in first and talk later.

Seeing this, Fatso was helpless. If his opponents wouldn’t fight and instead went straight in, there was no way he could keep all three at bay at the same time.

The problem was the multiple entrances to the apartment; in theory, one could break through the windows of each unit.

"Hmph, what does it matter if you go in..."

Fatso didn’t bother to stay and defend against Gao Xin. From their previous scuffle, he knew Gao Xin was not to be trifled with.

With this, he had engaged with every Radiation member and had already sized them up: he was the strongest, Gao Xin next, followed by the Viking Gang duo, with Kerry being the weakest.

"Thud thud thud!" With a sidelong glance at Gao Xin, Fatso strode into the apartment.

His palm fans fluttered everywhere as he slapped around, searching.

Confronted with room after room in the apartment, he burst through the doors, his metal gauntlets easily breaking through various walls, effectively tearing down the house.

Gao Xin was the last to enter the building, checking the time. There were still ten-odd seconds before it officially began.

"Silver Hand, help me search..."

"Sure."

Gao Xin strolled through the first floor at a leisurely pace, examining each object carefully.

Meanwhile, his imaginary partner, Silver Hand, was also helping.

About five minutes later, Fatso had roughly smashed through every room without catching sight of the Demon Blade.

He promptly leapt up and, with a thunderous crash, burst through the ceiling to the second floor!

"Rustle rustle rustle..."

Soon, various dusts fell, and the second floor was filled with the sounds of more destruction.

Gao Xin continued searching unaffected.

Finally, in one of the rooms, he found a card inside a bookcase that Fatso had overturned.

It was tucked between the pages of a book scattered on the floor.

"Quite hidden indeed. If you don’t meticulously search through every book, how could you possibly find it?"

Gao Xin also found it so quickly with the aid of Silver Hand.

He inspected the card—yellow background with red patterns, adorned with strange symbols.

Touching the material, it was nanosilk.

"Is this... the Zhenwu Demon-clearing Talisman?" Gao Xin recognized it and looked to the side.

Yao Junyan emerged from the bathroom, "Yes, it is the Zhenwu Demon-clearing Talisman, but using nanosilk to draw it is simply absurd."

Gao Xin smiled, "It’s just a hidden prop, after all."

"The Demon Blade, with such an odd name, how could it be something players could simply destroy?"

"This is specifically for destroying the Demon Blade. Otherwise, if Radiation could just crumple it up to end the game, wouldn’t that make it too easy? The patrons would be watching in boredom, wouldn’t they?"

The card had runes on the front and writing on the back which stated that shouting ’destroy the Demon Blade’ would activate it.

He pocketed the card and resumed his search.

After a few more minutes, intense fighting noises suddenly echoed from upstairs.

Fatso roared, "Back off! This one’s mine!"

Judging by the noise, someone had already turned into a ghost?

Gao Xin immediately went upstairs, heading for the scene.

When he arrived on the third floor, the fighting had ceased, and a group of people were in a standoff in the apartment’s central hall.

Fatso stood alone on one side, and the two from the Viking Gang stood on another.

Kerry was on another side, dagger in hand, held at the throat of a Glass Man with a stern expression.

The three parties formed a triangular confrontation.

The Glass Man’s face was tense, his calves shaking, but he maintained a stern demeanor.

Around his neck was a glowing red collar, not displaying a little man but a ghastly figure.

A ghost! The first generation ghost had appeared; a Glass Man was the first to find the Demon Blade.

But where was the blade?

Clearly, the Demon Blade wasn’t on the Glass Man. It had been hidden away.

Once he turned into a ghost, as long as no second person possessed the Demon Blade, he remained a ghost.

Unfortunately, despite being a ghost, he failed to stay hidden and was caught...

"Hahaha... Is this a game of ghost tag?"

Gao Xin laughed as he walked up the stairs to the third floor, standing to one side, forming the stifling standoff’s fourth faction.

"What you’re playing here is clearly people catching a ghost..."
