Chapter 7: 7. Even without the head, she is still a beauty.
"Hey, ghost, please come out and open the door."
Although no one said this, it was the common sentiment among the Players present.
The veteran Players at the scene weren’t all those who had completed the special promotion ceremony of Class B big Players, but all had experienced several bizarre games and were at least Class D veterans.
However, with their combined past experiences and what they had learned from higher-ranked Players, they had never encountered the current situation.
The bizarre game instance had started, but they couldn’t get in?
Then why were they brought here to participate in this bizarre game?
If it was just for them to watch, they could have watched from outside the game!
Player after player, they stared at each other, baffled and confused.
"Could it be that some mishap has occurred in this endless dormitory building?" a veteran Player couldn’t help but say with a face full of horror.
"Do you mean the special promotion ceremony?" Another Class B big Player’s face also changed.
In the strange games, there were two situations that were particularly troublesome, and one of them was that some Class D Players needed to upgrade, but there were no suitable instances in the strange game, so to let that batch of Class D Players advance, they would start to actively create a suitable instance.
And typically, the creation of such instances requires a large number of sacrifices.
"What, an instance for a promotion ceremony?"
At this comment, the veteran Players present became restless. Not just the Class D Players whose expressions turned ugly, the Class B big Players were no better.
Though they had passed the promotion ceremony, it didn’t mean they had the strength to contend with this kind of instance.
Meanwhile, as the Players speculated nervously, inside this dorm building, Tan Shuchang finally sensed that the ghost was about to appear.
This was a six-story dormitory building.
The blurry figure instantly became clear, and the traces of flowing blood also completely disappeared, as if it had all been an illusion.
"Miss, Tan Shuchang, a scholar from a family of learned individuals, once acclaimed by the golden list, was stripped of his title for beating up three Princes. Originally from Benjingzhou, now relocated to Yuezhou, may I ask if the lady would accompany me there to settle down?" Tan Shuchang extended an invitation.
He sized up the female ghost and realized that, sans her head, she could indeed be considered a ravishing beauty.
But whether it was Tan Shuchang’s gaze that provoked the female ghost, or if it was the start of her second step, she responded to Tan Shuchang by suddenly lunging to kill.
The malice of the ghost crashed onto Tan Shuchang like a tide. A normal newcomer Player would have died from mental exhaustion by this point due to the malicious invasion.
But for Tan Shuchang, this was naturally as mild as a breeze brushing his face
His resistance to evil, pollution, supernatural, and destruction all reached an A-one rating; in this eerie game, he was fiercer than most ghosts.
"Since that is the case, then please forgive my rudeness, Miss." Tan Shuchang reached out and grabbed the female ghost’s neck, holding her suspended in midair, then folded her repeatedly until he could tuck her into his sleeve.
In that instant, Tan Shuchang’s figure disappeared from this endless dormitory instance.
Meanwhile, as the group of veteran Players staying outside the dormitory building felt no change in time and were still bewildered by various speculations, blood-red text suddenly appeared in the sky.
[Game Over.]
[Detection of ghost disappearance, the endless dormitory instance will be permanently closed until a new ghost resides. Players, please note, exiting may cause adverse effects; drinking plenty of warm water may help recovery.]
This prompt was, as always, considerate, while the reaction of these veteran Players was a mix of slight relief but mostly confusion and puzzlement.
"How did it suddenly end?"
"Wait a second, the ghost disappeared!"
"How could the ghost just disappear?"
"Ghosts disappearing is possible; I just heard about it, happening recently in a newcomer instance."
