Chapter 3: The Dark Side Mission
Although Bangkok is prosperous, its area is not large, in fact, compared with N City, Bangkok is really small, so it didn't take long for Bai Ji to arrive at the location of Li Xiaopeng. At this time, Bai Ji discovered a more embarrassing problem - he didn't seem to have even a penny of cash on him.
"Uncle, I've got my wallet with my friend, why don't you wait here first?" Bai Ji scratched his hair in embarrassment.
The uncle glanced at Bai Ji disdainfully, and then took out a tag from his pocket, which actually had a QR code pasted on it. Bai Ji was stunned, could it be that my country's online payment software has spread all over the world?
After paying the money, the uncle sighed and said while stuffing a certain magazine into Bai Ji's hand: "Young man, I see that you are covered with dark clouds, and it seems that something unpleasant will happen." If necessary, go to the temple mentioned in this book and worship. ”
Bai Ji nodded in thanks, and then closed the door. Looking at the taxi driving farther and farther away, Bai Ji thought to himself that this was really a strange uncle.
The place where Li Xiaopeng was located was called "Oriental Hotel", but probably due to some kind of protection mechanism, the watch did not show several floors and households. So Bai Ji could only ask Xiao Ai to call Li Xiaopeng back for a voice call, and asked Li Xiaopeng to hurry downstairs to pick him up.
While waiting for Li Xiaopeng to go downstairs, Bai Ji flipped through the magazine casually. Unlike the previous guidebook, which mostly featured large shopping malls, this magazine focuses on temples near Bangkok.
Like most modern urbanites, whether it is Buddha or Jesus, Bai Ji has no faith. So even if the magazine details which temple has what characteristics and which god is enshrined, in Bai Ji's eyes, they are all houses made of piles of mud and stones, and at most he thinks that the sculptures in those temples are exquisite works of art.
Seeing that Bai Ji was about to throw the magazine into the trash can on the side after browsing, Xiao Ai immediately said: "Don't forget, according to your reasoning, the things you have to face on this mission are likely to be ghosts and evil spirits, do you want to destroy them with a pistol with infinite bullets?" ”
Bai Ji thought about it, but he was right, although he had never seen ghosts, but if there were really ghost-based monsters on this mission, it would be a fool's dream to hurt them with a pistol. Moreover, Bai Ji had already made up his mind to earn enough points in this mission long before he set off, and if he couldn't earn enough points, the next mission would be even more difficult.
At this time, Bai Ji suddenly thought that when he browsed the weapon exchange list, some weapons were marked that they could cause damage to spirits, and some guns were marked with "can be loaded with anti-spirit magazines". The so-called anti-paramorphic magazines are naturally filled with bullets that can actually damage ghosts.
"I knew I would have exchanged some anti-supernatural bullets." Bai Ji said with regret that he had browsed the "consumables" exchange items a little before, which not only contained ordinary bullets, but also anti-spirit bullets, and the price was not expensive, a little point could be exchanged for two P228 magazines.
Although I don't know how effective it is, at least it won't put Bai Ji in a completely passive situation when facing ghosts. But now it's too late to regret it, if you want to eliminate the ghosts, Bai Ji's best object to rely on is these temples with a large number of people.
You know, Thailand is a rather evil place, in addition to being famous for its shopping and massages, it is also a place full of religious beliefs. Thinking of this, Bai Ji put the magazine into the watch warehouse, and at this time, Li Xiaopeng also walked out of the main entrance of the hotel, and when he saw Bai Ji, he waved to him excitedly.
This place is called "Oriental Hotel", and as the name suggests, it is a place dedicated to hosting Asians, especially Chinese. Although its scale and decoration are far less than "reincarnation", its main entrance is magnificent, the lobby is spacious, and there are many waiters responsible for receiving guests, which is worthy of a star-rated hotel. And Bai Ji heard a lot of Chinese here, which made him feel unusually comfortable - it was better than listening to others muttering in a supermarket.
Li Xiaopeng obviously knew that Bai Ji would not choose to act alone, so he asked the hotel to reserve the room next to Bai Ji when he checked in. When checking in, Bai Ji subconsciously touched his pocket, only to find that he had a brand new passport and ID card in his pocket, with Bai Ji's photo on it, but the information was all wrong, his current name is Lin Jun.
This should be prepared for him by the system, Bai Ji suddenly felt that the setting of the system did not seem to be as cold as he imagined. These documents from the system are enough to confuse the real with fake, so soon Bai Ji completed the check-in procedures and went upstairs with Li Xiaopeng.
Because the system clearly stipulates that residents cannot disclose any information about the details of the mission to the outside world. So even if he held back his stomach to say something, in order to prevent being heard by idle people, Bai Ji still endured it to Li Xiaopeng's room, and then no matter what Li Xiaopeng's reaction was, he kept telling all his inferences and conjectures in one go.
Li Xiaopeng nodded from time to time, sometimes frowned, and it was not until Bai Ji finished saying what he had just seen and the thoughts in his mind that Li Xiaopeng crooked his mouth and said: "Although the amount of information involved is not large, it is very well organized, and you can come to a logical and perfect conclusion in such a short time, I really suspect that you are an old resident pretending to be a newcomer." ”
"That's not what matters now." Bai Ji was tired of hearing these words, and he didn't know what was going on, as if all the old residents of the hotel didn't want to treat him as a newcomer, which made him very annoyed, "The important thing is how we should deal with the kind of thing that killed Situ Xiang." ”
"I saw Situ Xiang in the last mission, she is a witch doctor, although her fighting ability is not strong, but her will to survive is very strong, so before I woo you, I have thought about stammering her. I didn't expect her to fold here, and she was killed almost immediately. Li Xiaopeng said, "You said earlier that you went to pick up Situ Xiang's watch, so you must have taken a closer look at Situ Xiang's body, right?" ”
Bai Ji nodded, "Although I didn't look closely, I did look at it up close for a while." ”
"Is there anything noteworthy?" Li Xiaopeng asked seriously, and finally had the appearance of a bit of a veteran.
"Well, she had a lot of lacerations on her neck, and the wounds were so deep that they completely ripped open the arteries." Bai Ji thought for a while and said, "In addition, I found that there was a lot of minced meat in her fingernails, and the rest was nothing." ”
Li Xiaopeng frowned, paced to the window, opened the curtains and looked out. The sky is changing, the sky in Bangkok is a little dark, and the temperature is rising instead of falling, as if a torrential rain is about to usher in at any moment.
"She was slashing her own throat with her own fingers." After a long time, Li Xiaopeng said, "This mission is a ghost. ”
Bai Ji thought that something was wrong, even Li Xiaopeng, who had a sparse style, had become like this, and the other party must be a good stubble that Bai Ji couldn't provoke. Then Li Xiaopeng suddenly turned around and said to Bai Ji in a deep voice: "I don't know what kind of things you faced in your rookie mission, and I don't want to scare you, but the chances of us surviving this mission are very slim." ”
A thunderbolt flashed in the sky, and Bai Ji asked Li Xiaopeng with some puzzlement: "Isn't it a ghost?" ”
At this moment, Li Xiaopeng seemed to be thinking about something terrible, his face gradually turned blue, and then he shook his head and said: "If it's just an ordinary supernatural monster, it's okay to say, but it's people like Situ Xiang who died." ”
This sounded very contradictory, and Bai Ji couldn't help but ask him again: "How do you say this?" ”
"Because Situ Xiang is a witch doctor." Li Xiaopeng said, "Although there are various abilities that can be exchanged in the system, they can be summed up in three categories, one is physical enhancement, one is the use of super-scientific ability, and the other is spiritual ability." Situ Xiang's mid-level witch doctor bloodline is the bloodline that enhances her spiritual abilities, and several of her skills are spiritual enhancement abilities. ”
"What does this mean?" As soon as Bai Ji asked, he immediately realized that he had asked an extremely stupid question.
Situ Xiang is a psychic person with psychic skills, which means that her will is stronger than that of ordinary people, and it also means that she can use her psychic abilities to cause direct damage to ghosts.
But Situ Xiang was killed by a ghost.
Speaking of the method of death, Situ Xiang's throat was ruptured and her fingers were stuffed with minced meat, which shows that she was not killed by the ghost with physical injuries, but by her own "own hands". This is very easy to understand, just like the ghost in the movie, the ghost made Situ Xiang see some hallucinations, and even directly gave her a suicide command to her brain, causing Situ Xiang to fall to his death after cutting his throat.
But Situ Xiang is a person with firm spiritual ability. In other words, even a strong man like her can't control herself, so why should Bai Ji and Li Xiaopeng compete with such a monster? If Bai Ji's description was correct, Situ Xiang wouldn't even have a chance to resist, right?
And what's even more terrifying is that Situ Xiang died in the same supermarket as Bai Ji - if it was a ghost, why didn't it kill Bai Ji together? Is it because Situ Xiang triggered something? And what is the strange energy that Bai Ji felt, around him? At this moment, an idea that made Bai Ji tremble burst into his mind.
In fact, the moment the residents teleported to Bangkok, they were already haunted by ghosts. This ghost is like a bomb that may explode at any time, hiding in each of them, and the reason why they didn't kill Bai Ji is because Bai Ji doesn't pose any threat at all, so the ghost wants to tease him.
But Situ Xiang is different - as long as all the residents who can pose a threat to the ghosts are killed in the first place, then the remaining residents ......
"It means we're dead." Li Xiaopeng muttered to himself.
At the same time, Bai Ji suddenly heard a cold system voice coming from his head:
"Resident Bai Ji has successfully met the conditions of the inferred assassination task, and the system rewards twenty points. Options have been sent to all hotel occupant watches, where residents are requested to view the latest mission information. ”
Bai Ji lowered his head in surprise and touched the watch, and the task information on the display had changed.
Task options:
1. Survive in Bangkok, Thailand for a week, and if the residents leave Bangkok within the time limit, they will be "gifted" by the system.
2. Use any method to destroy the spirits that inhabit all the residents, and for each spirit destroyed, all the residents who participate in the mission will receive a 50 point reward. Conversely, for each household killed by a spirit, 50 points will be deducted from all households participating in the mission.
Completion of any of the above two tasks will be deemed to have completed the task, and the resident will be transported back to the hotel.
Current number of Spirits Remaining: 15
Current number of remaining households: 14
