Chapter 214: Chapter 213: Camera

The Mountain Climbing Ghost, after tossing the camera from the human body on its tumor, nodded at Li Changhe and crawled back into the tumor.

The body of the Mountain Climbing Ghost also merged into the ground.

A few seconds later, Li Changhe tried to step onto the stairs, feeling no weight whatsoever.

"It seems we’ve succeeded," Yun Ting replied. "I can no longer sense their presence in this building."

[Task Progress: Investigating the strange events inside Building No.7: 2/3]

The [Task Hint] followed.

Not only did the Mountain Climbing Ghost leave, but the ghoul in the elevator was also eliminated.

Li Changhe continued to climb up to the 12th floor, holding the camera with the Mo Blade. After a while, he noticed someone coming down from above.

It was He Feng.

He Feng appeared unharmed, except that he had donned the [Great Wall Combat Cloak]. His previous clothes were used to wipe his face.

His face was pitch black, presumably smeared with grease and dirt. Li Changhe almost didn’t recognize him at first sight.

Fortunately, He Feng was still moving with his unmistakable stride.

Upon seeing Li Changhe, He Feng raised his hand and showed his [Player Nameplate].

Li Changhe nodded slightly and revealed his own [Player Nameplate].

This was the best way to confirm identity. Against Mysterious Species [Players], it helped better discern whether they were disguised ghouls or not.

"Your face isn’t black, why are you showing your nameplate?" He Feng complained. "I showed my nameplate because I was afraid you wouldn’t recognize me!"

"Not bad, I can still recognize a little bit of color. How did you deal with it? I was about to come to your aid." Li Changhe asked.

Based on He Feng’s description, the thing in the elevator was the kind of ghost that strikes the moment you turn your head. It was hard to deal with.

"You will never understand the feeling of fighting an enemy with the back of your head." He Feng wiped his face with engine oil and complained, "As the ghost emerged, three flashes appeared on my shoulder and head. Combining the ancient records of ’Turn-back Ghost’ and the information from the [forum]. If I turned my head, I would be extinguished by flames. Whether I die or not, it’s hard to say. So, I chose to fight it with my back. Fortunately, its properties were not high. I found an opportunity and strangled it directly!"

He Feng didn’t turn his head, and the ghost didn’t show any communicate attitude. It merely called for He Feng to turn back.

He Feng had no time to hesitate. The elevator was still going up, and once it reached the top, He Feng had no place to hide.

He fought the ghost by striking with his elbow and kicking it back. Luckily, the ghost’s properties were not high, otherwise, he would have to use skills.

Otherwise, he would end up drawing the attention of other [Players] with his powerful skills.

It seems to be a strategy issue. To deal with such a ghost, either Yun Ting would step in, or he would summon the [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers].

But He Feng could only rely on his solid properties to fight. His approach to confrontation was more straightforward. Although he was good at fighting against Mysterious Species, his tactics were far too conspicuous.

While wiping the engine oil from his clothes, He Feng asked, "How about you?"

"Some ghost victims with increased weight abilities. Luckily, they are able to communicate. They didn’t ask me to avenge them, just to find their bodies." Li Changhe explained, shaking the camera on the Mo Blade, "I guess it is a [Task Item]. I will give it to Yang Dong in due course. The [Great Wall] won’t refuse these kinds of injustices."

"Keep it! [Task Item] is a good thing, studying it a bit could give us some clues and help us prepare in advance. Isn’t this better than you wandering aimlessly for [Tasks]?" He Feng shook his head.

Having cleaned the slime on the camera with his torn clothes, He Feng took over the camera.

Upon receiving the [Task Prompt], his face changed slightly, "We have to keep it."

If He Feng says so, let’s keep it for now.

Li Changhe picked up his Jet Mo Blade, He Feng took out his Mechanical Rifle. After getting ready, they finally stepped into the 12th floor.

They’ll deal with the camera issue later. The priority now is to resolve this [Task].

One more paranormal event left.

Zhao Jiu’s room number was 1204, which was relatively easy to find.

For at the front of a door... many pairs of glowing eyes were looking uniformly at Li Changhe and He Feng.

This was one of the strange events Uncle Zhao mentioned; every night, all domestic and stray cats in the community would congregate in front of Zhao Jiu’s door.

Looking at all the glowing eyes in the dark could scare anyone. But this is simply the reflection of light in the cat’s eyes.

This wasn’t exactly a paranormal event or rather it wasn’t the event itself.

Yun Ting once said that animals like cats and dogs could vaguely sense the existence of Mysterious Species.

The cats were also attracted by the Mysterious Species. They could not be driven away. Was this so-called...curiosity killed the cat?

Li Changhe squatted down and took out a few cans of fish from his [Backpack].

This was usually used to tease Little Black; Li Changhe and He Feng always thought about grabbing some hairs from Little Black.

They wanted to try to decompose the equipment. After all, Little Black was a Fantasy Species, but unfortunately, the hair could not be decomposed.

The quality was only [Common].

Now, it can be used to lure away those kittens.

He placed the canned fish at one end of the corridor, and the cats were quickly attracted by the scent. One by one, they left the front of the door.

Taking advantage of this, He Feng knocked Room 1204.

"Who is it?" A girl’s voice came from the room. In her voice, there was both caution and fear. Presumably, the sudden power outage had made her very unease.

At this time, Mr. Bai and the others also arrived at the 12th floor, followed by an out-of-breath Uncle Zhao. Seeing Li Changhe and He Feng’s weapons, he forced himself not to look and instead patted Room 1204 and said, "Little Jiu, open the door. It’s for real this time, they can handle it!"

After a few seconds, there was the sound of heavy objects moving inside the room.

’Click’

The door was opened, and a pretty girl in pajamas crashed into Uncle Zhao’s stomach.

It was Zhao Jiu. Li Changhe’s impression of her was of the time when they purchased history books. She had even suggested that if anyone ever time travelled, they should try to end up in the body of some rich young master.

She was also saved by him later when she was chased by the murderer.

An imaginative girl, full of energy.

But now, she seemed to have suffered from a long time of insomnia, with heavy dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was messy, and her pretty face was filled with horror. She gripped Uncle Zhao and tried to run away.

Seeing Li Changhe’s figure, she trembled, "He too... There’s something behind him!"

Uncle Zhao’s face changed drastically, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Looking at Li Changhe with horror, could it be that he had invited the wolf into the house?

"Damn it!" He Feng and Mr. Bai sighed in surprise.

"Can she actually see Brother Ting?" Li Changhe also scratched his head in confusion.

Yun Ting, the phantom behind him, appeared confused.

"Huh? This girl is destined for great things!"
