A Way Out of Despair
This was a zombie of the same size as 'Despair', and its attributes were quickly displayed on the big screen.
"Time Shelly, Zombie, S5 level, 100,000 HP, Special Ability: Slow Ray..."
Upon seeing the monster's attributes, Li Wei was secretly alarmed and quickly considered countermeasures. But no matter what, facing the combined attack of these two S5-level zombies, Ghost Princess and Bao Ling would likely be doomed.
Indeed, that was the case. Ghost Princess was confident in her abilities and had never taken the zombies in this story world seriously. However, this first encounter resulted in a 30% reduction in her attributes. In this state, she knew she was no match for the S5-level monster in front of her.
However, now there's another monster of the same level, so running away is probably impossible.
After a two-second pause, Ghost Princess was shaken by Bao Ling's arm and realized she was still holding the phone. Remembering what the person on the other end had just said, she immediately shouted into the microphone, "You said you could help me, so tell me what I should do? Also, just so you know, both roads here are blocked by an S5-level monster. Furthermore, we've been hit by one of the monsters' special abilities, our stats have decreased by 30%, there's no chance of winning in a direct confrontation."
"This..." Li Wei was suddenly at a loss. He really didn't expect that Ghost Princess and Bao Ling would be so unlucky as to face two S5-level monsters at the same time. In this case, unless they had the ability to Shifting Forms and Changing Positions like him, they would definitely die.
"Tell me your solution now, or I'll haunt you even after I die!" Ghost Princess's heart sank as she saw the two zombies in front and behind her begin to move. She started yelling into the microphone.
Li Wei was speechless for a moment, but he naturally wouldn't argue with the other party at this critical juncture. Li Wei quickly glanced at the big screen, then looked at the map he had drawn before speaking, "Listen, there's a glass wall ten meters to your left. Smash it and jump down, and you'll fall directly to the first floor. That way, you'll be temporarily out of danger. But how you do it is up to you."
Li Wei spoke very quickly because Sherry had already begun to act on 'time'.
Ghost Princess reacted quickly. She first threw out two talismans with a ghostly green hue, then grabbed Bao Ling and True Shelly in each hand and ran quickly toward the glass wall that Li Wei had mentioned.
In fact, if Li Wei hadn't told her that it was a glass wall, Ghost Princess would have had no idea that the wall covered with promotional posters was actually glass.
As a reincarnator from the Ghost King Star Domain, she naturally possessed many unique skills from the Ghost King Star Domain. The two talismans she just threw out were the most famous 'Soul-Gathering Talisman' of Ghost King Star.
These talismans were made from forty-nine spirits and could be used for both offense and defense. Two talismans floated in front of 'Despair' and 'Time' and suddenly exploded.
Then a large number of wraiths burst forth, howling as they pounced on the two zombies. An ordinary person would probably be so terrified in this situation that they would wet their pants, but the two zombies were completely unfazed.
'Despair' Sherry roared again, and the dozens of ghosts trembled, their figures dimming slightly. At this moment, 'Time' Sherry, who had not yet made a move, also attacked.
Suddenly, a huge eyeball sprouted from its chest, and a yellow ray shot out from it. Several ghosts struck by the ray suddenly slowed down, as if they were watching slow motion.
The Ghost Princess, who had already run a few steps away, turned around and saw this scene, and was secretly shocked. If she were hit by this ray and her movements were slowed down, she would basically be doomed. So she ran towards the glass wall with all her might.
Three meters... two meters... one meter. In the instant she shattered the glass, Ghost Princess looked back again and discovered that the ghostly spirits in the two talismans she had thrown out were being scattered one by one. At that moment, two giant zombies were running towards them.
With a sharp crack of shattering glass, the Ghost Princess crashed through the glass wall and plummeted downwards. The fall lasted for several seconds before Ghost Princess rolled over and landed steadily on the ground. At that moment, she knew without Li Wei's instructions that she had to leave immediately.
So, she took Bao Ling and Sherry with her, transformed into a Black Wind, and haphazardly disappeared into a corridor. Only after passing through several large shopping areas and no longer sensing the aura emanating from the two zombies behind her did Ghost Princess stop.
The entire escape lasted less than a minute, but it felt like a year had passed. Ghost Princess had begun to trust the voice on the other end of the phone, after all, if it weren't for the other party's hints, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape alive this time.
"Sister Ghost Princess, what should we do next?" Bao Ling asked. She was secretly pleased to Ghost Princess was still holding the phone, and she knew that they were able to escape this time because of Li Wei others.
Ghost Princess naturally put the phone to her ear and said, "Hello, are you still there?"
Although the voice was cold, it no longer had that aloofness it initially had.
Li Wei was there, of course. He had been watching the big screen the whole time. He was shocked to Ghost Princess had managed to escape with Bao Ling and Sherry despite being attacked by two zombies. This alone was enough to show how monstrous the strength of the reincarnators in the Ghost King Star Domain was. Putting aside everything else, the two Soul-Gathering Talisman used to block the enemy were truly extraordinary.
"Although you've temporarily escaped danger, you still need to hold on for more than 6 hours. And the monsters you just encountered may increase to 4 in the next 6 hours," Li Wei Weixian explained the seriousness of the situation.
"Four?" Ghost Princess was also taken aback. If there really were four of those large zombies, then it would be a real problem.
"However, I have already thought of a way to keep you alive. Not only will you survive, but you will also receive an extra reward, as long as you follow my orders completely from now on," Li Wei said, word by word. He was still a little worried, afraid that the Ghost Princess would disagree.
The result, however, surprised him somewhat.
After a moment's consideration, the Ghost Princess smiled alluringly, "I will follow your orders, but can you tell me who you are?"
"No," Li Wei refused her directly. He glanced at the map and continued, "Let me tell you something first. For this story mission, it's best not to leave the supermarket area. That means you can only move within the area of the 5th floor above ground and the 1st floor below ground, a total of 6 floors. Because if you leave the supermarket area, your mortality rate will increase tenfold. Remember my words, don't leave the supermarket area."
"What's the reason?" Ghost Princess wasn't one to be trifled with. Although she would follow orders, she at least needed to know why she couldn't leave.
"Because I don't know the outside environment, and neither do you, and the supermarket has a complex network of passageways that make it easy to hide, I would rather you stay in a familiar environment. In addition, there are some 'tools' in the supermarket that will help you survive in an emergency." Li Wei's voice was mysterious, but he only said this much, which annoyed Ghost Princess, who was waiting for him to reveal the identity of the tool.
"Anyway, you can trust me. After your mission is over, all you need to do is give me a Hades Fruit as a reward. Now, I want you to go to the toy section and pick out a few toys for Little Shelly behind you. I'll call you again when you get there." With that, Li Wei hung up the phone, leaned back in his theater seat, and relaxed a little.
Ghost Princess had never seen such a bossy guy before. As a reincarnator from the Ghost King Star Domain, she had a superior attitude. After all, the Ghost King Star Domain was one of the first starfields to reach level 7, and their Destroyer was the strongest person in the Ghost King Star Domain, with combat power already at S8 and about to break through to S9. Even the Infinite Starfield, which was also based on cultivation, was slightly inferior.
In ordinary star systems, every reincarnator who saw them would bow and scrape, yet no one dared to give them orders. Although she felt a surge of anger, she couldn't say anything at this moment. The guy on the other end of the phone did indeed have the ability to keep them alive; their recent escape was the best proof of that.
"You'd better not let me know who you are, otherwise..." A murderous aura flashed across Ghost Princess's pretty face, but she still obediently followed Bao Ling and led Sherry towards the toy section.
Inside the theater, Greedy Wolf was deeply impressed to see Li Wei help Ghost Princess and Bao Ling escape certain death with just a phone call.
"Brother, how do you know that wall is glass? To be honest, even though we were looking at the screen the whole time, we couldn't tell. You know, they put things on that glass during class, so it's practically impossible to tell with the naked eye," Greedy Wolf asked, voicing his doubts. He wasn't going to hide anything from Li Wei now that they were familiar with each other.
Ming Dong Bright Wolf, and even Typhoon, were all listening intently, eager to hear Li Wei's insightful opinion.
After glancing at the group, Li Wei chuckled and said, "This requires keen observation. From the first floor, the upper floors are all glass structures, but once you enter each floor, you can't see any glass. It's clearly blocked by something. As long as you remember the layout, finding this escape route won't be difficult. That's why I drew the map. I've basically mastered the overall layout of this large supermarket. If nothing unexpected happens, getting through the next six hours shouldn't be a problem."
Greedy Wolf and the others then suddenly realized what was going on.
On the screen, the perilous situation that Ghost Princess and the others had just encountered had made all the reincarnators' hearts pound. Clearly, Ghost Princess's eventual escape was inextricably linked to the person who called her. Everyone knew this, and therefore, they were even more curious about the identity of that person.
