Chapter 4: Nightmare Cards

"This ...... What is this? ”

Liu Yixuan held his head and muttered to himself.

After all, the information he received was so sudden that he felt like he couldn't digest it for a while.

"Are you alright?"

Hu Qianxue next to her felt very confused, because from her point of view, she only saw Liu Yixuan touch the card, and the card disappeared in an instant.

As for the information about the cards, she didn't even know.

But it was precisely because she didn't see Jin Guang or know the card information that she thought that Liu Yixuan had fallen into a trap.

"I'm fine, it's just this so-called nightmare copy, and there are still many secrets waiting for us to explore."

Liu Yixuan let out a long sigh and gradually calmed down.

Judging from the effect of this card I just learned, it seems to be beneficial to my own actions, although increasing the speed may not be able to escape the pursuit of the ghosts, but it is better than nothing.

Often at some critical moments, speed can determine the winner or loser, and after increasing your running speed, it is up to you to decide how fast you can walk or run.

Suffice it to say, the effect given by this card is basically not harmful.

But...... How do I use this Nightmare Card?

It seems that the information I received in my head just now is only about the cards, as for how to use them......

"Use a Temporary Nightmare Card: Accelerated."

Liu Yixuan said silently.

Anyway, it's just a casual try.,That's how its own exclusive skill prophet is launched.,Use this as a template.,What if it succeeds?

But as soon as Liu Yixuan finished silently reciting these words in his heart, the card instantly appeared in his hand again.

……

And then what?

Is this thing sick?

Liu Yixuan carefully looked at the front and back of the card, its pattern is very simple, the overall background on the back is black, and only a red flame is drawn in the middle.

On the front is a description of the nightmare card, which is identical to the information you had received in your head.

"You...... Do you have anything on hand? Why do you keep staring at your hand? ”

Hu Qianxue looked at Liu Yixuan with slightly frightened eyes, because in her eyes, Liu Yixuan didn't have any cards in his hand, and now he acted like a psychopath.

"Can't you see this card?" Liu Yixuan deliberately shook the nightmare in front of her eyes.

"Nope."

Liu Yixuan thought about it carefully, and then told Hu Qianxue about the content of the nightmare card and its functions.

After all, she will come into contact with this thing sooner or later, and it won't hurt to tell her.

Moreover, this nightmare card seems to be bound to the owner, and it is not visible to outsiders at all, which directly excludes the phenomenon of other humans snatching nightmare cards.

"Is that so......" Hu Qianxue lowered her head and pondered for a while, and sure enough, she couldn't digest it for a while.

"Yes, as for how to use it, I haven't figured it out yet, use the Nightmare Card xx silently in your heart, and it will appear in your hand, and then I don't know."

"You can try throwing away the Nightmare Card."

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"I think it's already used in my head, and appearing in your hands just needs a confirmation, because people may subconsciously think of using the Nightmare Card in an emergency, and the thoughts at this time are irrational, and in some cases I don't actually need or don't want to use it, so I just appear to confirm whether you really use it."

"That makes sense, so why do you think the method of using it is throwing away the cards?"

"So you think it's good to hold the card above your head and shout out some middle two lines? Or do you still eat the cards to use them? Hu Qianxue said a little angrily.

At this time, a slight blush had appeared on her delicate and fair face, which seemed to be caused by anger, but it looked like those bright flowers that had not yet bloomed.

And her long snow-white hair, like a gift from a distant snow-capped mountain, pure and free of impurities.

"Haha, that seems to make sense."

Liu Yixuan scratched his head in embarrassment, but then quickly returned to the topic - how to use the Nightmare Card?

According to Hu Qianxue, there is also a trace of truth, so Liu Yixuan is ready to try.

The moment the card fell from his hand, it inexplicably spontaneously combusted, and it quickly burned to the ground, leaving no ashes behind.

Your current running speed has been increased by 2%. 】

This is the information that comes to your head at the moment the card is burned.

To be honest, the speed increases by 2%, isn't it too bad luck...... Besides, with only a 2% bonus, it doesn't change much when you run, right?

"How?"

"Awesome, you guessed it right, it's really like this."

"What about the results?" Hu Qianxue was a little excited, but she could be regarded as having successfully broken a layer of fog.

"It's too bad luck, the speed has only increased by 2%, I'm afraid I don't feel much."

"It's better than nothing."

Liu Yixuan smiled slightly, which could be regarded as a response, and then carefully observed the surroundings.

There must be more than one Nightmare Card function, and this place will definitely not be the only one, but I don't know where the other Nightmare Cards will exist......

Anyway, judging from the current information, the Nightmare Card is conducive to the survival of humans in the dungeon, and the more the better.

And Hu Qianxue also completely trusts this boy at this time, not to mention anything else, time has proven everything, and it has been more than an hour since the two met.

But what if he's a ghost who wasted more than an hour on himself and didn't do anything? So is this ghost brain-dead?

"Ah——!!h

Suddenly, a piercing female scream pierced the night sky, shattering the silence of the place.

Liu Yixuan ran quickly along the sound source, and he didn't know if it was the nightmare card really working, or his own illusion, in short, he felt that he was running faster than usual.

Hu Qianxue was a little hesitant, because she felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart......

But when she casually glanced around, she noticed that some dark red liquid was slowly oozing from under the table where the cards were placed.

I'm afraid it will be more dangerous to stay here alone, Hu Qianxue instantly felt that it would be better to keep up.

At the end of the commercial street is a wide square, and in the center of the square, there is also a male corpse, whose death is extremely terrifying, Liu Yixuan also feels that his stomach is turning upside down.

Although he has some special abilities, it is really difficult to accept this bloody scene when he sees it......

A dozen steps from the corpse, a woman who appeared to be in her twenties was sitting on the ground, wearing a very conspicuous flower dress, her face was full of fear, and her mouth seemed to be muttering something.

Looks like...... That's what she screamed about.

As soon as Liu Yixuan walked over, the girl in the flower dress crawled back in embarrassment, her bloodshot eyes staring at Liu Yixuan in horror, and her mouth trembled even more.

"Don't kill me...... Please, don't kill me......"

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost, tell me what's going on here."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me...... Please don't kill me! The girl in the flower dress gradually went crazy.

"I'm telling you, if you want to live, you'd better tell me the truth, or I'll kill you even if the ghosts don't do it."

Liu Yixuan's eyes instantly showed a fierce light, with a fierce and vicious look, and his words were full of threats.

It's been more than an hour since the dungeon, but there has been no progress in understanding the ghosts, and if you can know how the ghosts kill people, it is undoubtedly an extremely important clue.

Knowing its killing methods, those so-called "taboos" will also slowly surface.

Continue to follow this line, and the backstory may gradually become clearer, others don't know, anyway, the system has assigned a special task to find the backstory.

And the woman in the flower dress who was slumped on the ground seemed to be frightened, and her crazy movements gradually stopped.

After a long time, she said with a sobbing voice: "I'm sorry, the first time I saw this kind of scene, that man was killed by a ghost just in front of my eyes...... I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. ”

"It's okay, you can talk about it slowly, anyway, it's all happened, and we have to face it."

Liu Yixuan understands that ordinary people can easily collapse when they see this kind of scene, and it is understandable to give her some time to slow down.

Anyway, according to the rules, after a ghost kills a person, it can't kill someone again within half an hour.

"Liu Yixuan, come and take a look."

It was Hu Qianxue, who seemed to be much calmer at this time, and when Liu Yixuan was talking to the woman, she was looking around to see if there was anything useful.

Sure enough, mentality determines everything, and when she first met Hu Qianxue, her behavior was not much different from that of the girl in flowers.

……

Maybe she just wanted a nightmare card.

"What is this?" Liu Yixuan walked over and found that Hu Qianxue was holding a very old newspaper in his hand.

Perhaps because of the passage of time, most of the handwriting on the newspaper is illegible, but if you read it carefully, you can still barely see some of the contents.

"I found a page of newspaper in a flower bed and thought it should have something useful on it."

"Throw the newspaper into the flower bed, who would be so brain-dead." Liu Yixuan frowned slightly.

"Maybe that's the clue we have, but we can't think of it as the real world."

"Then I'll take a look...... Tsk, look at these handwritings really catch up with those archaeological ones. ”

The square is different from the commercial street in that there are also two street lamps here that emit a faint light, and Liu Yixuan struggles to identify them through these lights, barely seeing the existence of some words.

(XX Park X Occurrence X Lake Suicide X Pieces.)

It is reported that the deceased X's name is Shen Jiali, X is not a daughter X, age XX years old, and left XX at 10 p.m. on September XX, the reason seems to be because X is only XX son XXX, X You XXXXX is fortunate to XXX to die, so that XX person X god collapsed...... )

"No, the following content is very vague and I can't see it clearly."

Liu Yixuan shook his head and put the newspaper beside him.

"It's not so much vague as someone deliberately hiding everything underneath."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because of a huge newspaper, you can only see a few words on it, but there are neat black marks on the bottom, which completely obscure the words, and you can't even confirm the general appearance of the words."

Hu Qianxue picked up the newspaper and pointed out the lower part of it to Liu Yixuan.

"Makes sense, but even if it's just such a broken paragraph, it already gives us enough information."

Liu Yixuan's tense expression finally eased a little, after all, one of the requirements of the special mission was to find the cause of the ghost's death, and through this newspaper, it was found now.
