Chapter 12: 12. Act too quickly
The sun was intense.
The subsequent gentle warm breeze made Tan Shuchang feel somewhat surreal.
Was there such a place in this eerie game?
Accustomed to gloomy settings, Tan Shuchang was quite unprepared when he suddenly encountered a place bathed in sunlight.
However, this discomfort lasted only a very short time, barely even a breath. Then, Tan Shuchang walked up to a few people who had appeared before him and greeted them cheerfully, "Good morning!"
There were three men and two women, five in total. Their attire, needless to say, was entirely different from Tan Shuchang’s luxurious and elegant clothes.
At least, the way those two women dressed, the enchantresses and witches of the Jiawu Realm wouldn’t dare to dress like that.
Bare arms and legs.
But this was merely a cultural difference, so it wasn’t something to fuss over.
At that moment, the three men and two women looked quite solemn, but upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s greeting, which was somewhat out of place, they all stared at him blankly.
Then, one of the men, though his face showed a hint of displeasure, quickly said, "We are from the Yujing Association, and we are leading this time. Just follow our orders, and we will ensure your survival."
Tan Shuchang hadn’t expected such a remark from them; it seemed that this so-called "Yujing Association" must be a very powerful group within this bizarre game.
They not only had a large number of players but also possessed considerable strength.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so confidently assertive.
However, Tan Shuchang wasn’t here to seek protection. So, with a sincere expression, he said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I’m not here for protection. I’m here to ask where the ghost is?"
Last time, although he had captured a ghost that seemed like his half-sister from a different father, it had taken a long time.
But that was because last time, he was the only player!
But now, not only were there other players, these people seemed to know something about this place. Tan Shuchang wasn’t willing to wait patiently for the ghost to show up on its own like before.
He wanted to drag that ghost out of hiding himself!
Hearing what Tan Shuchang said, the three men and two women were all stunned. The man who had responded to Tan Shuchang frowned instantly, wanting to scold him.
Therefore, players who possessed ghost technique generally would not use it unless absolutely necessary.
Tan Shuchang didn’t care about them; the scene in front of him was a village. However, unlike the villages usually known, this one had concrete roads everywhere, and even the village’s main road was asphalt.
There were trees along the roads, but most were just saplings, shorter than an adult, and a child could easily break their branches.
And the buildings in the village were all very neat and uniform.
Clearly, this village had been very prosperous before it was sacrificed by a player. The villagers had high incomes, and the local economy was well developed.
As Tan Shuchang looked around, he suddenly noticed that a player was approaching him.
After taking a closer look at the person, his expression grew strange, and he couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
This player was a young man with a slightly effeminate look, clean and fair-skinned, with a frail demeanor like a young girl.
Of course, that was the image in other players’ eyes.
In Tan Shuchang’s eyes, this description needed to be supplemented by another phrase: enveloped in a dark aura.
And this dark aura was a manifestation of a sinister energy.
Therefore, without waiting for the other person to speak, Tan Shuchang made his move, after all, the opponent was coming right to him, what was there to delay?
Thus, before the player could even reveal his true form, he was folded up and tucked into Tan Shuchang’s robe.
The method was the same as last time, folded and then folded again.
Simple and brutal.
At the same time, blood-red text also appeared in the sky here.
[A ghost has been detected disappearing, the instance will end early, players please note, there will be adverse reactions when exiting, drinking more hot water can help recover.]
Tan Shuchang naturally saw this line of text as well.
"There’s another one?"
He had acted too early!
