At this moment, under the old locust tree, it has become a nest of countless ghosts!

Zhong Xueran was grabbed by its ankle, and despite his best efforts, he couldn't break free.

Xu Yi looked at it in his eyes, he tried to suppress his impatience, he knew very well that being anxious was useless at such a time, and he needed to stay calm if he wanted to find a way.

But...... Is there any other way?

Yes...... Of course.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the huge raindrops crackled on the leaves, making people annoyed.

The current situation is even worse, but for Xu Yi, this scene is not unsolvable.

However, if he does it again, he will definitely tell Zhong Xueran in advance to make her believe in herself.

Let her go, why bother?

If he was left alone under the tree, he would be able to cope with even the most extreme situations.

Because in addition to permanent items, he also has the opportunity to use one-time items!

And he carries three one-time props on his body!

Although each player can use a one-time item up to three times in Strange Story, one of them can only be used once per game. But Xu Yi still ...... Haven't used it once.

Unlike most people, players generally look forward to being able to redeem their own permanent items as soon as possible, after all, it is not only unique in function, but also has no loss of time, and can continue to be used every round.

But Xu Yi chose to exchange one-time props first, he didn't have the idea of accumulating a hundred spirit pupils to exchange for permanent props in one go, and when he first entered the strange talk game, he exchanged the twenty spirit pupils given by the novice level for the first one-time prop - [Blue Teardrop].

[Blue Teardrops] - can be applied to your eyelids, distinguish people and ghosts, and gain insight into invisibility.

From the very beginning, he felt that in such a precarious place, it was completely a stupid idea to exchange the so-called "Spirit Pupil" for a large wave in one go, and the most important thing was to transform the Spirit Pupil into a life-saving ability as soon as possible, so he never had a Spirit Pupil.

Once he has obtained a sufficient number of pupils, he will select and exchange them for suitable one-time items.

In this way, he exchanged three one-time items early, and ...... Although I have always carried these three disposable items with me in case of emergency, I have never used them!

And this ...... It is also the reason why he has a low sequence in the ranking of ten seats, and the spirit pupils he accumulated in the early days are all exchanged for one-time items, and the time to obtain permanent items is a little later than that of players in the same period.

If it is himself who is now trapped under the tree, Xu Yi can completely use disposable props to escape.

Because one-time items are different from permanent items, one-time items can only be used by the redeeming player themselves, and cannot be used by other players.

The only exception is the [Sanqing Bell] in Zhong Xueran's hand.

This is the only special being that is both a permanent item and a one-time item.

The one-time item of [Sanqing Bell] is a simplified version of it, called [Single Clear Bell], although it can only be used once and disappears, but it ignores the rules of disposable items, and it is also the only one-time item that can be used on players who are traveling with you. ….

Xu Yi grabbed Zhong Xueran tightly, and quickly thought about how to save her.

If he had been caught by a ghost underneath, it would not have been difficult to get out.

The second prop he exchanged was [Ning Bihu], that thing is recognized as the king of cost performance, it doesn't need many spirit pupils, and it has a strong escape ability, although it can't observe the outside world after entering the space of Ning Bihu, but in addition to the powerful ghosts with spatial ability, the fierce ghosts are just in a hurry in front of Ning Bihu.

But...... As a one-time prop, this thing can only be used by the player himself, and Xu Yi can't put himself and Zhong Xueran in the gourd together.

[Blue Teardrop] is completely unsuitable for this weird talk game, if there is a ghost who can be invisible, or a disguised ghost who changes its appearance, it can play a real role.

So it seems...... Only the third one-time item can be used.

It is ...... [puppet mask].

[Mask of the Opera] - to drive away ghosts and plagues, to dance to entertain the gods, the face of ghosts and gods, and the heart of ghosts and gods. Wearing a mask can turn into a ghost, and the longer you wear it, the more difficult it is to remove it.

If [Blue Teardrops] is a means to find ghosts, and [Ning Bihu] is a way to escape, then [Puppet Mask] is a desperate hole card.

This is a well-known dangerous prop......

Quite a few players have been tempted by it, but only a few have redeemed it in the end.

Xu Yi has long understood the experience of players using the [Puppet Mask] in the past, and this thing is a real ominous prop.

From the moment it is put on, the player's life goes into the countdown.

It can make the player exude a more terrifying aura than the ghost, the strength of the aura depends entirely on the player's will, but the more powerful it is, the shorter the time it can be worn, generally speaking, a player can only wear the [Drama Mask] for a maximum of three minutes.

If you don't take it off within three minutes, it's almost impossible to take off the mask.

It will turn the player into a ghost...... Real ghosts.

"Boom—"

A furious thunder lit up the rainy night, and the dense density of dead ghosts under the trees was terrifying.

Zhong Xueran kicked her leg hard, but it had no effect, and she couldn't get rid of it.

However, she also thought of one last way to save herself, throwing the [Sanqing Bell] out.

This thing can attract the attention of ghosts, and she used this method when she was in Xianyang Village.

This...... Does it still work?

Zhong Xueran didn't know it herself, but she had to give it a try.

She took out the [Sanqing Bell] and threw it hard towards the outside of the group of ghosts!

Just in an instant! All the ghost hands that reached out towards her stopped in unison, and then turned to look in the direction of [Sanqing Ling].

Useful!

They all turned around and surrounded them, and Zhong Xueran was about to take this opportunity to climb up, but he was shocked to find that he was not ...... There's still a ghost that hasn't moved!

The ghost who grabbed her ankle was still staring at her with her eyes!

It's over......

Feeling the terrifying power that almost crushed his ankle, Zhong Xueran's mind ran out of ideas for a while.

But...... She was not afraid, and even faintly relieved......

"Boom—"

In Fucheng tonight, many people did not fall asleep.

Chen Zhiyuan stood by the window, looking at the pouring rain outside the window.

"I don't know what happened to them now...... Chen Zhiyuan muttered.

Behind him, Yan Xiao held a pen and seemed to be carefully recording something.

"Who are you worried about?" Yan Xiao's slightly cold face had a trace of undetectable concern.

Tonight, it was Chen Zhiyuan who asked him to come.

Chen Zhiyuan told him some things, some things that were likely to be passively forgotten by Chen Zhiyuan if he didn't say it again.

Chen Zhiyuan's situation...... It's getting harder and harder.
