When Tan Shuchang saw this passage, he couldn't help reading it over twice more carefully, because it contained several pieces of hidden information.
"Red Names are people Fierce Ghosts have successfully possessed."
"Once a Fierce Ghost successfully possesses a body, it can instantly defeat the other Fierce Ghosts in an instance."
"The method players use in the Weird Game to gain power by containing Fierce Ghosts can, after complete containment, make them stronger than ordinary Fierce Ghosts."
Although that last piece of information was hardly worth mentioning to Tan Shuchang, perhaps because of the aftereffects of having lived two lives, he liked to keep even things that seemed useless around for a while rather than discard them outright.
"Someone with the same name as me, who can also defeat a Fierce Ghost so quickly... Could it be..." Just as Tan Shuchang was thinking this, he suddenly saw that the person he had assumed merely shared his name had now become one with his own name.
More precisely, the original second-ranked player had been removed, and his own record of clearing a Fierce Ghost instance in two minutes had been added beneath the first-ranked entry.
Seeing this, Tan Shuchang's expression instantly became rather interesting.
"Lag?"
His eyes widened, and he found it somewhat hard to believe.
Lag itself was perfectly normal, but this was the Weird Game! It was so omnipotent that it could even bring him across realms into the game, yet this thing actually lagged?
If this were a person, it would be called a total collapse of character setting...
But then Tan Shuchang understood why he couldn't leave messages like the other players. It wasn't that he was restricted—his "internet speed" was simply lagging too badly.
So Tan Shuchang turned his attention back to the other players' messages.
