Chapter 8: The Mortal Game (1st Update)
Lin Kun suddenly got up from the bed, looked around, and suddenly found that he was back in the room at the beginning.
He clearly remembered that just now, after watching the "big show" of the female ghost, it was too late.
Even if he tried very hard to escape, with the body of an ordinary person, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the female ghost.
Before he could escape far, he was stabbed in the throat with scissors by the female ghost and died on the spot.
Then, Lin Kun returned to the room at the beginning, he checked himself, there was no scar, but the chips were ten less.
Then he got out of bed again to see if the thirty chips hidden under the closet were still there.
When he removed the closet, he couldn't help but frown slightly, the 30 chips were stacked messily there, and none of them were missing.
But Lin Kun remembered that he had deliberately used his torn clothes, and now the clothes are gone, but the chips are still there.
He opened the closet and found that the scene inside was exactly the same as when he first opened it, even the tattered garment that was used to wrap the chips was inside.
Putting away the chips, Lin Kun already had some speculation in his heart, he came outside, and sure enough, the little mark deliberately left on the door frame was gone.
Most of the rooms in this ancient building looked similar, and he made a small mark in order to prevent him from finding this room, and now the mark disappeared out of thin air, as if it were a brand new room.
Obviously, after Lin Kun died once, the time was reset back to the beginning, as if the reading file in the game was repeated.
The only thing that can't be changed with a reset is the chips!
As a result, the clothes that wrapped the chips were reset back to where they were at the beginning, while the chips remained in place.
Die once, deduct ten chips, time reset, Lin Kun still has 53 chips left, and he can die up to five times.
But he still felt very troublesome, his strength was vastly different from that female ghost, and he had almost no power to resist.
With the current situation, let alone five times, fifty times may not be able to change the situation, and we must find a point to break the game, otherwise, maybe we will really die here.
Time is urgent, there is still a little time before the female ghost appears, Lin Kun must find out if there are any other clues.
Suddenly, he accidentally glanced at it, and found a room on the same floor in the distance.
The room itself is no different from the others, the only difference is that there is a glowing green lantern hanging from the door of the room, which looks rather eerie.
Lin Kun didn't hesitate, he quickly stepped forward, now he didn't have much time to hesitate and think, with a slight push, the door opened, and it was not locked.
Inside was a living room, the environment was dark, and in the corner of the room, there stood a figure shrouded in a thick black fog.
"Need to buy something?" The man's voice was calm, cold, and even indifferent.
Lin Kun stepped forward, only to see that the other party waved his hand, and four items with different appearances appeared in front of him.
Each item has a different purpose, the first item is called the Time Resetter, and when used, you can reset the time back to the beginning.
The price of this thing is 8 chips, which means that Lin Kun can save two chips when he feels that he is going to die.
The second thing is called a time rewinder, which can push the timeline forward by one day and costs 10 chips with no limit on the number of times.
In other words, as long as Lin Kun has enough chips, he can rewind the timeline to a year ago.
In fact, with this thing, the first way to break the game has appeared.
As long as you can rewind the timeline back to before the female ghost died, and find a way to prevent the female ghost from dying or not turning into a ghost, it is almost a breakthrough.
The third thing is called Qi and Blood Pills, after taking it, the body is full of qi and blood, and the injuries on the body recover quickly, and within a minute, the evil ghost cannot get close, and the price is 20 chips.
The fourth thing is called the Talisman, and as long as it can be attached to the demon, it can freeze the demon in place for three minutes and costs 30 chips.
The first two things have a strong sci-fi style, and the last two things have a strong supernatural style, put together, it is really full of disobedience.
Lin Kun doesn't have time to complain now, it is obvious that choosing the timeline to go backwards is definitely a relatively simple way to break the game.
The longer you go backwards, the easier it will be to break the game, and it is suitable for tricks with a lot of chips.
With 53 chips, he's a bit bolder, and it's no problem to go back three or four days.
But the last two things are obviously reminding Lin Kun that there is another way to break the game without going back the timeline.
The so-called existence is reasonable, but this method does not even have a little eyebrow at present, and it is almost a black eyebrow.
No matter how you look at it, it's easier to break the game by going backwards in the timeline.
But the urine nature of the Grim Reaper Lin Kun is very clear, low risk often means low harvest, and high risk is accompanied by high return.
A choice must be made, whether to choose a low-risk, low-reward approach or a high-risk, high-reward approach.
This choice not only meant whether Lin Kun could survive smoothly, but also to a certain extent related to whether his seventh-order demon was strong enough.
Listening to the terrible screams coming from outside, Lin Kun knew that the slaughter of that female ghost had started again, and time was urgent.
He's greedy, but a mere 53 chips can't stand him up, but it's not his style to compromise like that.
Soon, Lin Kun chose a more central method, dying once or twice, and trying to collect as many clues as possible.
If you really can't find a way to break the game, you will go back in time, but if you do this, there will basically be no chance for him to make a mistake, and the risk is still very large.
Having made a decision in his heart, Lin Kun was about to leave here, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong and paused.
He clearly remembered that the last time, there was absolutely no place for such a sale, and with his observation, this conspicuous light could not be ignored.
In other words, every ghost envoy who enters the illusion may die once, and if he has less than ten chips on his body, he will basically die when he comes in.
This couldn't help but remind him of the guy who said before that he would definitely die if he entered the demon illusion realm without chips, and now that he thinks about it, it's true.
It's like the most basic process that every ghost has to go through.
"Sure to die?" Lin Kun savored these words.
If there is a way to break the situation, even if the chance is slim, the word "certain death" will not be used.
In other words, is it possible that there is no direct way to break the game at all? Time must be turned back to solve the situation.
The things that were sold were actually very likely to be a trap, just to make the ghost envoy think that there was a way to break the game directly, and to use the ghost envoy's greed.
In fact, this is simply a ...... Mortal Situation!
