Chapter 56 Lu Xian's Conjecture, Hidden Item Clues
Lu Xian deduced based on the second real clue.
Artificial ghosts are fake.
In other words, they are fake ghosts!
To him, the rules of these types of ghosts are false information.
The purpose of the artificial ghosts' existence is not to kill.
It is to create terror, to scare people until they go crazy or become foolish!
And where do these people who go crazy or foolish eventually get sent?
Who is the ultimate beneficiary?
The answer is obvious.
A mental hospital!
It might not necessarily be one, but it is certainly related.
All of this was deduced by Lu Xian based on Lu Simin's words and the real clues he obtained.
Without those two real clues and his bold 'suicide mission' attempts, he would never have discovered this.
But is the reality the same as what he guessed?
How to judge the truth or falsity of the ghost rules?
How do 'real ghosts' appear?
And how do the artificial ghosts affect him?
How did the 'real ghost' that was killed by the rebound earlier disappear, and how did that woman in Room 404 who died from a ghost vanish?
These events, like mysteries, still need to be verified.
"There might be new discoveries in the two tasks this time."
Lu Xian posted the tasks and spoke to the audience in the livestream room.
He looked around; the bathroom door had not been closed at all.
"The scene just now was too realistic."
If he didn't have the confidence to face the ghosts directly and have such courage, he really would have been scared.
If it were any other Survival Challenger, even if they were brave, they wouldn't dare to gamble on whether it was real or fake.
They would just follow the rules here and honestly survive for 15 days.
"Did you get tricked? You were scared, right?"
Lu Xian scanned the bathroom walls and asked with a smile.
At this moment, the bathroom was clean and tidy, with bright lights.
There was no longer any blood or hair.
[Hard not to agree.]
[First-person perspective was immersive, I cried.]
[It's okay, it's just a change of pants.]
The crowd in the livestream room expressed one after another.
But surprisingly, there was still a portion of the audience using the third-party perspective who said at this time:
[I wasn't scared, I didn't see anything.]
[Right, I didn't see the 'special effects', I felt like Brother Lu became quite strange at that moment, I wanted to laugh.]
[I was frantically reminding the Streamer at that time, you were hallucinating, but I found that I couldn't send bullet comments, I was restricted.]
"It's normal to have bullet comments restricted."
"Even if you had sent them, I might not have seen them."
"After all, this counts as cheating, just like the other two Survival Challengers right now; I haven't seen anyone mention them in the livestream room."
"I guess there must be many people in the livestream room who know and have sent bullet comments to reveal it,"
Lu Xian said.
But this is an official-level survival challenge, and the Survival World is monitoring it.
It's impossible for it to be like the previous novice challenges where one could 'cheat' through the audience in the livestream room.
At the same time, Lu Xian also noticed the situation in the livestream room.
The current number of online viewers is 10.21 million.
The VIP list of gift givers is even as high as 5.2 million!
Lu Xian thought for a moment and casually unlocked the gift amount limit.
With so many people, it didn't matter if it was limited or not.
Continuing to limit the gift amount would seem even more pretentious.
Subsequently, some tycoons and big bosses were frantically sending gifts worth hundreds of thousands or millions, as if money was no object.
The frantically surging special effects of the large gifts made it impossible to see the livestream screen for a moment, as if it had 'lagged.'
"Thank you for the gifts, bosses, you are generous."
After thanking them, Lu Xian walked out of the bathroom.
"Let's secretly investigate the situation here."
He came to the first bedroom next door.
The door was locked.
He took out the keys and found the corresponding one.
Click~
The door opened.
He turned on the light.
It was another bedroom with an exquisite, modern light luxury decoration style.
However, the air inside was a bit turbid, as if it hadn't been opened for a long time, but there was no musty smell.
Lu Xian closed the door behind him and started searching the wardrobe.
Lu Xian saw many jerseys, school uniforms, men's shirts, and other clothes hanging there.
The size was quite large, XXL.
"It should be where her family member lives, likely her son, and he's probably in his teens."
Lu Xian said in a low voice.
Then he went to check the desk.
The bookshelf next to it held many classic books, high school and university knowledge books, as well as manga reading materials.
On the desk was a desktop computer and a pen holder; the rest was clean.
Unexpectedly, just as he sat in the chair to check the computer's information, a knocking sound suddenly rang out from outside the door:
Knock, knock, knock~
"Huh?"
Lu Xian looked at the locked door and couldn't help but be startled.
The sound was coming from outside the door.
[Damn, Lu Simin is asleep, who is knocking on the door?]
[It can't be that coincidental, right?]
[Good grief, another ghost is here!]
[Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, it's so scary, wuwu (╥ ﹏ ╥)]
The sudden knocking sound startled everyone in the livestream room.
"What should be done in this situation now?"
Lu Xian asked.
Hearing a knock on the door at night.
According to the method for dealing with ghost rules, there are currently two options:
First, respond by saying: 'I am studying, don't disturb me.'
Second, stand behind the door and look outside through the peephole.
But the second method is obviously not applicable because Lu Simin's door has no peephole, and the second method refers to after 12 midnight.
Lu Xian wanted to ask whether to respond.
And the people in the livestream room voted one after another, telling him to let it come out to scare people, screw it!
"Fine."
Just as he thought.
Lu Xian spoke to the door:
"Come in."
The knocking stopped suddenly.
[666~]
[What the hell, "come in"...]
[Hahaha, inviting a ghost in, I laughed.]
However, the next second, the crowd couldn't laugh.
Looking at the livestream screen, it couldn't help but make people's hair stand on end.
After the knocking stopped, the doorknob made a click sound and was turned.
The door creaked softly, as if it were being slowly opened by something.
The next second, the lights outside in the living room went out!
It was pitch black outside the door.
It seemed as if a vague red figure was standing outside the door.
Immediately after, the originally bright lights in the bedroom became flickering.
In an instant, Lu Xian felt the temperature in the room dropping crazily, and gusts of chilling cold swept in.
He was just about to take out the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber.
Amidst the flickering lights in the room, a long-haired red-clothed ghost figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The stench of a corpse rushed to his nose.
It made a ho ho cold and strange sound.
[Holy crap! A ghost!!]
The bullet comments in the livestream room exploded.
Before he could react, everything went black before Lu Xian's eyes.
The room lights went out.
The reminder sound followed:
{You have been attacked by a ghost.}
However, at the same time, the anti-stab gold chain erupted with intense golden light!
The passive shield effect took effect!
The hidden effect was triggered, 100% immunity to low-level damage.
The golden light enveloped Lu Xian's entire body in an instant.
The whole room shone with golden light.
A miserable scream, eerie and horrifying.
The red-clothed ghost figure was like ice falling into molten lava, instantly bursting and dissolving, defeated by the rebound of the golden light, its body and spirit completely destroyed.
The ghost disappeared.
At this moment, the room was pitch black.
{Congratulations on successfully killing the ghost, obtained hidden item information + 1.}
After hearing the reminder sound, Lu Xian had already grasped the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber and stood up.
Click~
The bedroom lights turned on again.
"I was just attacked by a real ghost."
Lu Xian said.
He didn't expect that this ghost attack could actually affect reality!
The speed was faster than he expected.
It also gave him a warning that the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber must be held in his hand in advance.
Otherwise, relying on the passive rebound of the anti-stab gold chain only after being attacked, that feeling is still very terrible.
Subsequently, he checked his gains this time.
It was actually hidden item clues?
Items?
