"Arrogant!"
"Declaring war on gods and ghosts with a mortal body! Brother, you are so courageous. With these words, whether you can successfully hunt ghosts or not, you will be recorded in history!"
"No...it's not that exaggerated, right? Can a failed ghost hunt be recorded in history?"
"I think what the guy above said is not an exaggeration at all. Although the sky has only fallen for a few days, this guy is the fastest player to figure out how to survive!"
"Moreover, he also told us how to clear "Midnight Echoes" free of charge, which indirectly saved many lives."
"What's more important is that he chose to fight the evil ghost even though he knew how to survive!"
"Based on the three points summarized above, this brother and celebrity Qinggu is certain that if the strange era can end, perhaps he will be nominated to be included in the history textbooks."
"But unfortunately, no one has the capital to end the strange era."
"Unless we can get the final prize?"
"Don't think about it. Who would make the ridiculous dream of [ending the strange era] when they get the final grand prize? At that time, you were the god of terror who dominated thousands of creatures."
"..."
People always have selfish motives.
Who can put down the crown easily when accustomed to strength and power?
Ordinary people do not expect the final winner to end the strange era. They only hope that the god who ascends the throne can be gentler and stop bringing so much killing to the world.

"Hunting the ghosts in the world of "Midnight Echoes", so that the sky will punish me and demote me, and I will no longer have the identity of a horror designer?"
"Hahahahaha!"
As a [lv1] level horror designer, if the "Midnight Echoes" in Wang Yuan's hands were completely destroyed by Su Mu...
Then he will be forced to be demoted by Tianmu and return to the ordinary people's industry.
Even if you know these clearly.
But Wang Yuan,
Still smiling happily.
because.....
His real purpose in threatening this player was not to make him give in!
After all, what's the point of apologizing to him in the horror dungeon? Players can still pass the level, but they will not get any rewards from the sky screen feedback!
Moreover, his copy of "Midnight Echoes" will be completely invalid.
No additional rewards,
The audience will not be too frightened by this script.
It will be extremely difficult for Wang Yuan to raise his level to [lv2]. By then, he will be a waste in the circle of horror designers!
He didn't want this kind of misfortune to happen to him.
Therefore, Wang Yuan needs to be saved.
The only way to save it is through the sky screen barrage that can contact the players in the dungeon!
The real purpose of the verbal threats is to arouse the player's anger and make him choose another path other than delaying time until the end of the game, hunting ghosts!
"Hunting ghosts is much more difficult than simply surviving..."
Wang Yuan grinned with a strange smile. As the creator of [Shadow Ghost], he knew very well how terrifying this terrifying thing from his hands was.
Hiding in the shadows, walking in vanity!
The ghost can only be seen through the looking mirror, and even if it is seen, the player has no way to kill it!
in other words,
This ghost cannot be killed!
Su Mu gave up the hope of delaying his survival and blindly hunted ghosts, which would only lead to making more mistakes and being brutally killed by the 'shadow ghost'...
"You need to pay a price for arrogance..."
Wang Yuan twisted his neck and paid more attention to the struggle for survival. He couldn't wait to see the scene of Su Mu being torn apart by the 'Shadow Ghost'!
.........
.........
But was what Su Mu said really a moment of arrogance?
The answer is no.
As a traveler from the azure planet who has witnessed various worlds of gods and ghosts, Su Mu knows evil spirits all too well.
As it happens,
In the memory book engraved in his mind, there happens to be content on how to exorcise and eliminate evil spirits.
Folk gossip once circulated:
There are three points of taboo when a person meets a ghost, and seven points when a ghost meets a human!
The seven points does not mean that ghosts only have seven taboos, but that they have more taboos than humans.
The first thing is to avoid sunlight!
Since the concept of ghosts was born, the theory of "yin and yang" has been circulated. It tells that people live in the yang world and ghosts live in the underworld. When people die and become ghosts, they return to the underworld, and ghosts can also be reincarnated into any of the six realms. One, this is called returning Yang.
Although it is possible for ghosts and people to interact with each other, this situation only exists at night, and the area must be dark and humid!
If ghosts and dark things violate the rules of traveling at night and tabooing the burning of fire...
The yin energy will be washed away, and the soul will be scattered!
The taboo against prosperous fire means that ghosts appear in places with excessive yang energy, while the taboo against traveling at night means that ghosts meet the sun.
"Unfortunately, there is no sunshine here."
But the area where Su Mu was located was obviously not exposed to sunlight.
Furthermore, the horror script mentions the word midnight, which means that the time period he is in may have passed daytime.
The idea of using sunlight to eliminate evil spirits obviously didn't work.
Su Mu needs to find another way.
In addition to sunlight, there are many things that ghosts are taboo about, such as the color red.
Although folklore says that people wearing red will turn into ghosts when they die, but generally ghosts are actually very afraid of the color red. This is why many movies show Taoist priests using animal blood, cinnabar and red envelopes to ward off evil spirits.
"There are no red objects here either."
But it's a pity...
The horror atmosphere of "Midnight Echoes" was adjusted by the designer to be more Western. There is no trace of red anywhere in this rental house.
in this way.....
There is only one ghost-hunting method that Su Mu can use and is the easiest to use:
fire!
This is the most taboo thing for ghosts besides sunlight.
Firelight is similar to sunlight, so it can act as a deterrent to ghosts.
In various folk tales, there are also stories of people using fire to drive away evil spirits when encountering evil spirits. If there is no fire, you can even pick up your hair with your hands and use the sparks made from your hair to drive away evil spirits. If you are lucky, this weak spark will Fire can even burn ghosts to death!
"But I don't have to pick my hair out with my hands..."
Looking at the lighter lying quietly on the wooden table, Su Mu raised a slight smile on his lips.
In today's society,
Basically every home has a lighter.
In order to better fit reality, the designer who created this strange story perfected the details of the lighter in the room.
It was also his unnecessary move.
It will cause the ghosts in "Midnight Echoes" to lose their lives, their souls will fly away, and their souls will be scattered...
"collapse--"
There was a soft sound, and flames burst out of the old lighter.
Su Mu slowly found a flammable object and brought it close to the flame to attract new fire.
As the fire grew stronger,
Every audience member behind the marquee watched with fear.
at the same time,
I am extremely puzzled by Su Mu's behavior.
"Let's finish it."
Just when everyone was curious about Su Mu's purpose of starting the fire, he suddenly said such abrupt words, and then threw the ignited cloth behind him.
"boom--!!!"
The moment the cloth came into contact with Su Mu's shadow, the fire became even more intense!
Ordinary, weak flames have no fatal effect on ghosts and monsters, and are only a slight deterrent, but...
This is enough to ignite the entire rental house!
The flames from the lighter spread along the fabric and along the wood of the sofa!
In an instant,
A single spark can start a prairie fire!
This terrifying wave of fire swallowed up Su Mu's shadow, swallowing up the glass, the illuminated floor, and all places where evil spirits could hide!
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, the second person's wailing sound eerily sounded in the dilapidated rental house.
"ah!!"
The dark wind is blowing everywhere, ghosts are crying and wolves are howling!
Even though they were separated by a screen, everyone felt a chill coming over them, and it was even more freezing cold behind them!
"Ghost, ghost appears again!"
"This brother touched the lighter and lit the cloth on fire. Is it because of this that the ghost came out to kill him?"
"Why don't you just stay in the bedroom? You have to hunt ghosts to death!"
"That's not right... If there is really danger, why can this guy still stand there leisurely, his expression unchanged at all?"
"..."
boom--! !
The fire burned even more vigorously, and immediately, the answer appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It's not that ghosts appeared in this world to take action against Su Mu.
Rather,
It was burned by the flames and had no choice but to escape from the shadow!
【Rules violated! 】
This is also the moment when the evil spirit appears when the player has not met the prerequisites.
The sky has lowered the punishment mechanism!
The flame is blessed by mysterious power and becomes even more terrifying!
The evil ghost was unable to resist the sea of fire under the blessing of the sky. As the wailing continued, it gradually turned into ashes...
[Congratulations to the player, the mission is completed! 】
At the moment when the ghost was completely submerged in the flames, Su Mu's eyes showed a clearing prompt from the sky.
game,
In just ten minutes, it was over...
