Chapter 28: The Ghost Guide

Soon he saw some black mist emanating from the rows of bookshelves in front of him!

The area of these black mist was not large, and Xiao Chen's previous attention was on the administrator, so he didn't find it at the first time.

But the area of this black mist was not so small that Xiao Chen could completely ignore it, at least he should have discovered it when he came here as a ghost the last time he came.

That said, the black fog on these bookshelves only appeared after that!

Xiao Chen immediately took out the singing crystal doll and took a look, it was normal now, neither singing nor hot.

Therefore, the black fog on these bookshelves should not be able to provide Xiao Chen with ghost points.

Xiao Chen quickly approached the bookshelves and put his hand towards one of the black mist locations.

Well......

Sure enough, he didn't get ghost points, doesn't this mean that these black fogs are the same as those on Chen Meng's neck?

Then Xiao Chen looked up in several other directions, and finally confirmed that there was no more and no less here, and there were exactly three black fogs!

The quest prompts him to investigate three books...... Could it be that it means investigating these three black fogs?

These three black mist all emanated from the books, and Xiao Chen quickly confirmed that these three books were all the works of Wanli Dragon City.

Xiao Chen carefully pulled out the first book.

The title of the book is "Desert Island Survival Diary".

Just looking at the name, I thought it was a popular science survival manual, but after opening it, Xiao Chen found that it was still a supernatural novel.

Xiao Chen first read the introduction, to the effect that the story content of the introduction is that some students are stranded on an unknown desert island after a cruise shipwreck, and when they are on the island, there are more or less strange energies on everyone.

When Xiao Chen finished reading the introduction, he found that the black aura spreading from the book had disappeared.

Xiao Chen saw clearly just now that this black aura did not appear from a certain mezzanine of the book, but more like it emanated from the paper of the entire book.

What is certain is that such a black aura is invisible to ordinary people, such as Chen Meng before and the administrator of the logistics department just now.

Bite!

A prompt is sent to show that the progress of completing the contents of the survey book has become (1/3).

Xiao Chen finally found a way to complete it.

Then he quickly pulled out a second, black-scented book.

This book is called "Soul Exploration Squad", which is about a group of people who work to deal with various supernatural events, and to Xiao Chen's surprise, this book actually mentions "special flashlights" and "psionic detectors", which are very similar to the two tools used by the moon spirit and other people in black from the perspective of functional description.

Similarly, the black fog on this book also dissipated after Xiao Chen had a general understanding of its contents.

The title of the last book is the most distinctive, and it also surprises Xiao Chen, the title of the book is "Ghost System", which is about a paranoid scientist who specially designed a set of task upgrades and skill enhancement systems for ghosts similar to video games!

Damn it!

Isn't that what I'm going through right now? Could it be that the current system was designed by the protagonist of this novel?

However, when Xiao Chen planned to pack these three books for detailed reference in the future, something that surprised him even more happened, the book in front of him was actually on fire!

After all, it is a library, and there are not too many combustibles, and the fire is not spreading very fast, and it will swallow up all the books here in an instant......

Xiao Chen could only quickly retreat outside the library, only to find that the sky was already dark.

Bite!

Main quest 8: Investigate the three works of Dragon City (3/3) completed

Reward: 50 Ghost Points

Bite!

The Ghost Book is now unlocked.

Sure enough, a new icon appeared on the right side of the inventory: the Ghost Illustrated.

There is also a small line below: The Ghost Book will record all the creatures of the ghost plane that you have encountered, and the details of the ghost creatures recorded in the Book will be related to your own level of investigation.

After Xiao Chen clicked, many square cells appeared on the interface, which was exactly the same format as the spirit servant bar.

And most of the cells are now dark, and only faint outlines of some ghostly creatures can be seen.

Only the two cells in the upper left corner are lit up, and two different color pictures appear on them.

Xiao Chen recognized it at a glance, these were the two insects he had seen before and attacked him and Lu Xiaoxi.

Caterpillars and flying insects.

Of course, that's not what the name on the Ghost Book is called.

Name: Ghost Bug

Rarity: Common

Synopsis: Weak psionic creatures that usually appear in groups.

Name: Ghost Flying Bug

Rarity: Common

Synopsis: Weak psionic flying creatures, usually found in groups.

The introduction of the content of the illustrated book is relatively simple, after all, Xiao Chen's understanding of these two kinds of insects is only that......

It seems that this illustrated book only serves as a record, and it does not allow Xiao Chen to understand the characteristics of each ghost creature in advance.

Xiao Chen looked at the vast number of dark cells behind him, and said in his heart how many types of ghost creatures there must be......

At this time, the fire in the library was a little bigger, and there was already thick smoke coming out, and Xiao Chen felt that it would not be long before the fire would inevitably attract the attention of the students.

It was at this time that he actually saw that the logistics administrator who had escaped before had actually come out again, and there was another person with him, who was the security captain!

The two guys were sneaky on the edge of a small house not far from the library, and Xiao Chen immediately leaned towards the two.

The security captain was on the phone, and the administrator of the logistics office was waiting with a nervous look on his face.

The call went through.

"Hello?" On the other side of the phone, there was a female voice that Xiao Chen was very familiar with.

That's right...... It's Qin Yao.

"Miss Qin!" The security captain said, "Something happened to the library! Someone set it on fire! ”

"What!" Qin Yao's voice originally looked like he had just woken up, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately woke up: "Who put it!" ”

"I don't know!" The security captain said, "No suspicious people in sight!" ”

"Are you sure?" Qin Yao continued to ask, "There is no one inside or outside the library, but it is inexplicably on fire?" ”

"Sure! I've seen the surveillance and no one is here tonight! The security captain glanced around sneaky, and then the logistics administrator next to him nodded to him, and he continued, "I think ...... It's possible that this fire was not set by a human being! Could it be related to Qianqian? ”

Qin Yao said "um" on the other side of the phone, and then said: "You continue to stay where you are, try not to let the students find out about the fire, and I will solve the rest!" ”

"Miss Qin! It's almost dawn! Although the fire is not big now, and there is no smoke, once the students get up, it is troublesome! The security captain said busily.

However, Qin Yao had already hung up the phone.

After listening to the words of the security captain, Xiao Chen immediately looked at the location of the fire in the library again, and sure enough, he found that the fire was indeed a bit strange.

First of all, the fire spread much slower than he expected.

He remembered very well at the time that after the first flame appeared, the speed of diffusion was very fast, but now that he recalled it carefully, Xiao Chen was shocked to realize that the direction of the spread of those flames was actually the book of Wanli Dragon City!

Don't...... This fire is actually still directional?

Secondly, as the captain of the security guard had said, the fires did not cause any smoke and dust, and even when I looked at it from a distance, I thought that the library was only lit by a large pile of candles.

Sure enough, it was not an ordinary fire, and this fire did suddenly appear under Xiao Chen's nose.

Is it really Qianqian's release?

But not to mention whether Qianqian has this ability, what will be her reason for setting the fire?

Bite!

The main quest has been updated!

Main quest 9: Stop the flames from going out before all the creations in Dragon City are burned down.

Reward: 500 Ghost Points

This task really made Xiao Chen completely confused, he had already found that some of the contents in the Wanli Dragon City book were somewhat similar to what he had experienced, and just when he was about to further investigate through these books, the system actually came to such a task......

Doesn't even the system want to let itself know the truth?

However, seeing this generous ghost point reward, Xiao Chen was still attracted.

He now has 550 points left, and with that 500, he can now pick any skill from the second-level redemption page to learn.

The system says that you want to protect yourself from being extinguished, which means that someone is going to put out the fire.

Xiao Chen thought that it would be the security captain and the administrator of the logistics department, but at this time, the two of them had already run away.

Xiao Chen didn't bother to pay attention to them, but turned around and walked back towards the location of the library.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the library, Xiao Chen faintly heard a "buzzing" sound coming from nearby!

Xiao Chen hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and then found that a flock of translucent, sparrow-like birds appeared not far ahead.

At the same time, a third color highlighted image appeared on the Ghost Book.

Name: Extinguishing the fire

Rarity: Rare

Description: Likes to extinguish all kinds of fires, usually in groups.

It's been these things for a long time to put out the fire......

Xiao Chen was a little unimpressed, and immediately raised his hand and lifted the palm thunder and smashed it in the direction of the sparrow flock.

The number of these sparrows was about twenty, and Xiao Chen thought that he would have to kill at least five or six after a thunderbolt passed, but he didn't expect that none of these sparrows died...... On the contrary, because Xiao Chen frightened them, these sparrows were much faster.

It seems that the first-level palm thunder is no longer able to cope with the situation in front of him!
