Gambling Ghost: Super Evolution
Walking on the road that looked like a pile of garbage, Dunn inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. He had to admit, this run-down place really did look a bit like the Infinite City Garbage Dump.
If there's anything different about this place, it's that everything here is True Thing.
The idea of finding one's way using a divination stick naturally drew criticism from the Live Broadcast Room, but Dunn showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he continued to mock Dunn with his famous line, "Those who think they are highly educated and frequent high society."
As he finished his potato chips, traces of a corpse finally began to appear in his field of vision.
[Another mummified corpse. Judging from the clothes, it looks like it's wearing a uniform. I wonder what kind of ghost it is this time?]
[In short, she's not a female ghost.]
Would you dare to assume the gender of a ghost?
[Grass!]
The various arguments in the live chat left Feng Xue somewhat confused as to whether it was friendly mobilization or unchecked growth. In any case, the online environment of the Cyberpunk World... was quite interesting.
He sensed the Gambling Ghost's location briefly, and instead of going in circles, he used the wooden stick, which had been given the function of a "divination stick," to point the way. Stepping over the creaking Miscellaneous Item, he arrived at an open area.
If you ignore the Miscellaneous Item scattered all over the ground, you can see some clear bullet holes, and there are also fallen mechs and billboards with half of them blown up by the roadside. The scene suddenly changes from Garbage Dump to a wasteland battlefield.
As military enthusiasts in the live chat began to identify the equipment models and Mecha Factory of the corpses, Dunn suddenly kicked a bucket of cooking oil from the roadside.
Before the audience could even speak, the bucket of cooking oil exploded with a loud bang, and as the oil spilled, a somewhat ethereal figure slowly appeared in the air.
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
A string of profanities filled the screen, but Dunn's face darkened, and he hopped backward on one leg, clutching his leg and muttering as he did so:
"Damn, is this oil drum that hard? I'm so... cough cough, anyway, the oil is a semi-transparent, viscous substance that can easily make invisible ghosts visible. As for where to pour it, can't you guys just use Visual Enhancement Device?"
[But the problem is, I can see it with my Visual Enhancement Device, so why pour oil on it?]
Is it possible that this was intended for viewers experiencing motion sickness from the Visual Enhancement Device?
Although there were still some humorous comments in the live chat, the fact that they were easily noticeable already indicated that the live chat had become quite sparse.
It wasn't that there were few spectators, but rather that everyone was staring blankly at the ghostly creature that had appeared.
It was a semi-transparent giant shadow nearly five meters tall. At first glance, it could be described as having a rudimentary human form, but upon closer inspection, its flowing, dry, twig-like tentacles and its multi-eyed head resembling a giant die gave one a strong sense of physical discomfort.
"Want to... bet...?"
A piercing, distorted sound filled the Live Broadcast Room, making many viewers feel nauseous.
However, this impulse was only temporary, lasting only a few moments, and could be easily calmed down with a little composure.
So, after a brief silence in the comments, the retaliatory outburst began.
[Damn, is this Gambling Ghost?]
[Judging by his head, he's probably Gambling Ghost, right?]
[So, if we don't do anything about Asgerry, it will turn out like this too?]
[How many people did this kill?]
Can it get even bigger?
How do we catch this?
A massive barrage of comments completely obscured the main screen. Dunn raised his eyebrows, looked at the five-meter-tall monster, and said with a stern expression:
"I bet you fucking!"
After saying that, he looked around, his eyes suddenly lit up, and with a forceful pull on the chain and a piercing roar, a chainsaw began to spin wildly.
He held a chainsaw in one hand, striking an arrogant pose, instantly changing the previously oppressive composition.
The original feeling of the ghost being strong and the humans being weak vanished with the appearance of the chainsaw. In that instant, the audience in front of the screen actually felt that the five-meter-tall ghost was the weaker party.
With one hand, he pulled a Pocky stick from a cardboard box resembling a cigarette case and put it in his mouth. As if he were holding a cigarette, Dunn arrogantly brandished his chainsaw twice and said with feigned seriousness:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remember that while a chainsaw may look intimidating and even make people talk to you, it's a weapon whose intimidation far outweighs its practical effectiveness. It's not very useful for cutting people; you'll easily get stuck with bones or bits of flesh. However, this thing is the best weapon to deal with ghosts. Why? Because it gives you courage! Do you remember what I said about what you must remember when facing ghosts?"
Don't be afraid.
The corresponding comments immediately popped up in the live chat, but with so many comments piled up together, Feng Xue wasn't sure if anyone had actually said anything. However, he assumed the audience probably didn't know either, so he simply replied:
"That's right, don't be afraid! Remember, ghosts aren't scary, that's why ghosts are afraid of you! And the chainsaw is a tool that makes you feel more scared!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward with the air of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer. The five-meter-tall giant Ghostly Shadow actually seemed to be frightened and took a half step back. However, before the audience could even utter the "This works?" comments, the ghost seemed to suddenly remember that it was the ghost and stepped back to its original position.
Seemingly feeling that this wasn't enough, it even took two more steps forward after returning to its original position. However, this behavior didn't make it appear terrified; instead, it gave the impression of...
Isn't this thing a bit silly?
Dunn, who came to catch the ghost, clearly wasn't going to let him get away with it. The ghost stepped forward, and Dunn stepped forward as well. The two approached each other face to face in a bizarre and somewhat comical way (similar to the scene of Granny Huang and the killer robot walking towards each other). They stopped staring at each other when they were about two meters apart and Dunn had to look up to see the other's dice-shaped head covered in tiny eyes.
Then...
I'll chop!
Without any warning, Dunn suddenly swung his chainsaw, launching a sneak attack on the ghost in front of him without any sportsmanship.
The chainsaw slash was like a hot knife through butter, severing the ghost at the knee. The ghost was even shorter than before, before it could even react to what had happened.
"See? Theoretically, a chainsaw can't cut through objects this smoothly, but because I felt it could, and everyone else felt it could, the ghost was cut down. That's called Heart Over Matter..."
[Hey streamer, I think you should run now instead of just explaining things!]
Upon seeing the comment notification, Dunn suddenly looked up and saw countless branches bursting out from the ghost that had finally realized it had been chopped down.
"Grass!"
