A Blessing in Disguise

Although he still couldn't figure out where he came from, and didn't know why the suddenly appearing Dragon-Tiger Power and the round-faced, bearded man had chosen him, Pi Wang had already figured out the basic usage of the cheat system.

The [ghost] was originally an absolute annihilation for the [player].

Ordinary players, despite exhausting all means, cannot harm the ghost in the slightest. Only by relying on ghostly artifacts left behind by other ghosts can they have a sliver of hope to restrain and limit its strange behavior.

Ghosts cannot be killed; only ghosts can defeat them, by understanding their patterns.

Furthermore, the [ghost] will disguise itself in various ways, impersonating [players], [NPCs], or even inconspicuous little objects to lure [players] into triggering its [Killing Rules ].

During this process, the player is often unable to touch or even see the ghost's true form.

But Pi Wang is different; he can directly touch [ghosts], and the [ghosts] will even have their movement restricted the moment he touches them, leaving them at his mercy.

"This cheat is fine, at least it lets you enjoy yourself, and it's a pretty powerful cheat. It's better than those cheaters who keep barely escaping death."

Pi Wang finished his cigarette with a melancholy air.

But the next instant, he glanced down and saw what was at his feet, and his whole body stiffened, the hairs on his body standing on end:

"Holy crap, what the hell?!"

The strange girl he had just subdued was nowhere near the image of the elegant, silver-haired, and simply dressed beautiful young woman.

Before me lay a grotesque, decaying corpse, its body deformed and crawling with maggots; an overwhelming filth and chilling malice assaulted my senses.

The murky eyes of the rotting corpse slowly turned, its malice fixed firmly on Pi Wang.

In the next instant, the [ghost]'s form turned into a pool of pus, which seeped directly into the ground.

Pi Wang stood there stunned, unaware that the cigarette butt in his hand had fallen onto his thigh, seemingly lost in a state of existential doubt.

The three surviving players, who had witnessed the entire process of Pi Wang enjoying himself from afar, looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

As a newbie in the Ghost Domain, this time the [Ghost] only has one [Killing Rule], and there are nine [players] participating, so it's relatively simple.

But the [ghost] possesses intelligence; the moment it enters the [Ghost Domain], it disguises itself as a [player].

And it was very active, directly guiding all [players] to actively engage with the [Killing Rules ], and it succeeded.

Everyone triggered the [Killing Rule]. The [demon] controlled the corpses and killed four people in a short time, but when it got to Pi Wang, he grabbed it and pinned it down...

In a way, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

The number one person in history to fuck [ghosts].

After observing their surroundings, one of them cautiously stepped forward. "Young man... brave warrior, are you alright?"

Pi Wang finally realized what was happening, muttering to himself:

"The texture of that fair, delicate, peeled egg-like face felt like a bloated corpse, and no wonder it had a grainy feel—it was maggots..."

Actually, what he originally saw was also a corpse covered in maggots, but the moment he saw it, the dragon and tiger tattoos Hibernation his arm automatically emitted a layer of warm light, covering his eyes.

In the next instant, the cold, lifeless corpse transformed into a sweet, soft, and beautiful young girl.

So, does using a corpse as a weapon count as self-defense...?

"Brave warrior... what's next...?"

The man continued cautiously.

He finally understood. Everyone had triggered the [Killing Rule], and in theory, none of them should have survived. But the person in front of him had disrupted everything. Following him would increase their chances of survival.

"What are the Killing Rule again?"

Pi Wang, but he quickly got back to his serious business.

"The rule is to be in a dark environment for an extended period of time," the player answered immediately and clearly. "The rule defines 'extended period of time' as lasting at least one minute."

The man quickly began to analyze the situation.

"That ghost, using a disguise, coordinated with the NPCs in the scene to completely destroy all the main light sources in the entire building. We entered without any electricity, with only a few lighters available for temporary illumination. The Dungeon will end in ten hours, which means dawn."

Although the [ghost] has tried to conceal its [Killing Rule], seven years have passed since the [ghost era] began. Through constant exposure, the remaining humans, even those who haven't participated in the Ghost Domain Game, have developed basic reasoning abilities.

Pi Wang looked at his palm, paused for a long time, and then a thought struck him.

His body suddenly became ethereal, transforming into a flowing shadow that swiftly traversed and moved through the thick darkness.

At the same time, Pi Wang felt an unprecedented power, bursting with vitality in the darkness as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, capable of killing a bull with a single punch.

"This is... acquiring some of that [demon's] abilities?"

Pi Wang couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

The Number Two Kin Xiao Xiao Luo, was also somewhat pleased.

I originally thought it would take some more time, but I didn't expect to come into contact with the Essence of [ghosts] so quickly.

The ability to Pi Wang was undoubtedly a gift from this dying world.

During the recent Pi Wang period, Xiao Xiao Luo, the Number Two Kin, clearly observed a large amount of information about [ghosts], as well as the underlying code of the [Ghost Domain].

There was no password set at all; these [ghosts] are actually just a string of high-level code running without a firewall.

The [Ghost Domain] is the main force of the world invasion, and its Essence is also world-level. The [Ghosts] are the forces formed by the [Ghost Domain]. Their strength is unknown, but they directly use the [Secondary Rules ] after the [Ghost Domain]'s ability to reduce dimensions, so their Essence is extremely high.

Pi Wang's ability is actually just these fragments of [Secondary Rules ] that he plundered, but he just doesn't know how to use them.

In theory, if the [Secondary Rules ] are appropriate enough, Xiao Xiao Luo of the Number Two Kin can be instantly killed.

The Number Two Kin, Xiao Xiao Luo, began to continuously mark the location of the [Demon] on Pi Wang, and manually replaced the blood in its body with a huge amount of potent aphrodisiac, in an attempt to obtain more data.

Pi Wang's feelings were correct; he had indeed taken aphrodisiacs.

The Number Two Kin, Xiao Xiao Luo, did not tamper with Pi Wang's soul and consciousness, otherwise he would likely have been Life and Death by the World Will, whose fate was unknown. Instead, he treated Pi Wang like an animal, frantically administering aphrodisiacs.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao Luo, the Number Two Kin, submitted a plan to the Great Holy Spirit and uploaded the massive amount of data he had obtained.

Before Pi Wang could even adapt to his abilities, he was possessed by Xiao Tou and began a long data collection process, chasing after the [ghost] who had no protection.

The intense training nearly killed Pi Wang.

The moment [Ghost Domain] ended, he regained consciousness and saw his three surviving teammates trembling, with a pile of mangled corpses at his feet.

"This..."

Before he could sort out his thoughts, a grotesque, muscular arm suddenly burst forth from the flesh of his shoulder and back, gripping his head tightly.

"No, no, no..."

Pi Wang's pupils dilated; he sensed something was wrong.
