Chapter 92 Rules? Ghost Hunting Begins

Lu Xian followed the Horror Experience Hall administrator, treading upon a crimson path of blood.

The hallway was flanked by yellowed walls, covered in various hideous and terrifying bloody handprints, scratches, and lifelike ghost faces.

The scene was utterly horrifying.

"Where can I see the rules for this place?"

Lu Xian suddenly asked the female ghost administrator.

The figure abruptly came to a halt.

Her cold, stiff face slowly turned to look at him.

However.

When she saw a netherworld banknote in Lu Xian's hand.

She actually gave a rare response, her voice hoarse:

"Give me the money, and I can tell you."

When the Kidney-Deficient Man saw the netherworld banknote, his sallow ghost face instantly turned deathly white, filled with ecstasy:

"I smell a delicacy for the soul!"

"This scent of money is truly enough to make a ghost climax with joy."

The Kidney-Deficient Man's head, twisted 180 degrees, saw its neck weirdly and slowly elongate.

He wanted to stretch his head over to devour the netherworld banknote in Lu Xian's hand in one bite.

However.

A black figure appeared beside the Kidney-Deficient Man.

A dark shadow flashed.

The Kidney-Deficient Man's elongated neck was instantly severed.

His head fell directly onto the ground.

Crimson plasma gushed out.

"How dare you steal my food!"

The Kidney-Deficient Man did not die.

The head on the ground roared hideously.

Splat~

A black shoe stepped ruthlessly onto the Kidney-Deficient Man's head, instantly bursting it into pulp.

But his mouth remained, immediately letting out a shrill scream, like a ghost's wail.

The Horror Experience Hall administrator, without even turning her head, kicked and exploded the Kidney-Deficient Man's skull, her eyes fixed intently on the netherworld banknote in Lu Xian's hand.

She didn't seem to have any intention of taking it by force.

Seeing this scene.

The audience in the livestream room was instantly stunned.

They didn't expect to see such a sight!

A real case of ghost fighting ghost!

The cause was a single netherworld banknote in Lu Xian's hand.

With the first netherworld banknote, Lu Xian had resolved a violation of the Horror Experience Hall's rules.

The second one caused the Horror Hall administrator to brutally abuse the kidney-deficient ghost.

"Here."

Lu Xian wasn't stingy either.

He tossed the netherworld banknote in his hand to her.

He wanted to use this administrator to get a preliminary understanding of the rules here, and see if they were similar to the rules of Madman Street.

He wondered if there was some connection between Madman Street, the Psychiatric Hospital, the Horror Experience Hall, and the City of Terror.

The netherworld banknote vanished into her body, and a trace of satisfaction appeared on her stiff, cold, yet pretty face.

"Follow me."

She became cold once more and walked forward without looking back.

Lu Xian followed behind her.

The kidney-deficient ghost lying on the ground hadn't died; his body was still twisting and struggling.

But he couldn't stand up.

Like a headless fly, he crawled and bumped around aimlessly on the ground.

Blood was everywhere, exceptionally terrifying.

Soon, Lu Xian walked out of the bloody corridor and arrived at a dim, spacious hall lit with greenish-black light.

The Horror Experience Hall administrator gave him two small booklets:

"Administrator's Code".

"Player's Code".

In the hall, Lu Xian found a dilapidated sofa in a corner that he could barely sit on, and began to flip through the so-called 'Eerie Rules'.

"Administrator's Code":

1. You must personally escort guests in and out and maintain order in the Experience Hall.

2. You may eat any guests who do not follow the rules.

3. You cannot attend to invisible guests; you must call the Boss to host them.

4. Upon hearing the sound of coffin knocking, you must go and invite the guest out.

5. Patrol the experience hall three times every ten minutes.

6. Work starts at 9:00 AM and ends at 5:00 PM. Please stay in the Experience Hall during working hours. If you remain in the Experience Hall after hours, you do so at your own risk.

...

After reading it once, Lu Xian memorized the contents.

"I didn't expect ghosts to have working hours too?"

"And they seem quite busy."

"So professional!"

He looked toward the front desk; the female ghost was gone.

The thumping sound of a coffin being knocked had just rung out, and she had headed inside.

[9-to-5, 666!]

[LMAO, even ghosts have to go to work. What excuse do I have to be a slacker?]

[Brother Lu, what's the deal with that nether money of yours?]

[Quick, tell us! Confess and be treated with leniency!]

Bullet comments drifted by, flooding the screen.

"Nether money?"

"Have you ever heard the saying 'money makes the devil turn the millstone'?"

"It refers to this money."

Lu Xian laughed.

Then he picked up the "Player's Code" intending to read it.

Suddenly, he saw a wave of bullet comments scrolling by:

[For real? Nether money actually has that effect?]

[I get it, Brother Lu. Tomorrow I'll send you a whole basket of nether money /doge face~]

[I'll just burn some incense for you /(*^▽^*)!]

[Old Lu, do you want wreaths? If you do, I'll send them over tomorrow, plus a full suona funeral band service.]

[Holy crap, why are you guys all so morbid! That's too much. Well, I'll burn some paper dolls to join the fun...]

"..."

Lu Xian felt like slapping his own mouth.

Why did it feel like the atmosphere of the livestream room had been led astray?

He simply pretended not to see it.

Then he continued to check the so-called "Player's Code" of the Experience Hall:

1. Enter the Experience Hall with a ticket and enter the game under the guidance of the administrator.

2. Please come to experience the game while the Experience Hall is open.

3. After entering the game, do not leave the game hall without permission.

4. If you wish to leave, please contact the administrator in advance by knocking on the coffin.

5. Do not walk in front of the administrator, or you will be eaten by her.

...

"So that's how it is?"

After Lu Xian finished reading the two sets of 'rules'.

He understood.

Actually, they were quite simple.

Similar to the situation in Madman Street before.

As long as one followed them, it was relatively safe. Those ghosts were like NPCs; they wouldn't actively mess with people.

The ghosts at each stage all had their own duties.

If he were to use the demon-suppressing celestial master robe to capture that Experience Hall administrator.

Would it directly interrupt and affect the 'operation' of the Horror Experience Hall?

And then trigger something even more terrifying?

If there really was a great horror, he didn't know if this demon-suppressing celestial master robe could withstand it.

Currently, the celestial master robe only had one C-Class Ghost suppressed within it.

Its strength was at most C-Class, or even weaker.

The key was that his dimensional pouch was gone.

Otherwise, he could take some medicine at any time to replenish his Soul Value.

Capturing a C-Class Ghost required consuming 30 Soul Value points.

And his Soul Value was only 35 points.

That meant after catching one ghost, he would have to rest for half an hour to recover his Soul Value.

While Lu Xian was lost in thought.

Two sets of footsteps came from the corridor.

It looked like the administrator was bringing out another 'sober guest' to see him out.

The newly emerged 'guest' was a short old man in his sixties or seventies, coughing incessantly. His face was haggard and greenish-gray, and his body was covered in black corpse spots.

With one cough, he actually coughed out his lungs!

Then he munched them back down.

After witnessing this horrifying scene, Lu Xian was secretly alarmed.

Just now, when that sick old man coughed.

He felt his own body being affected; he felt uncomfortable all over, and his throat felt itchy as if he wanted to cough along.

But it seemed the presence of the demon-suppressing celestial master robe helped him block this invisible supernatural attack.

It looked like another ghost.

And an influential ghost at that.

After the Horror Experience Hall administrator brought the old man out, she turned straight back into the corridor, as if it were time for her patrol.

"Hey, old man, come over here for a second."

Lu Xian suddenly greeted the old ghost.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked:

[The Streamer is so bold! He actually initiated a call to a ghost?!]

[What is Brother Lu doing?]

[Holy crap, is Brother Lu having an episode?]

The sick old man seemed to understand Lu Xian's words and turned his head.

He grinned at Lu Xian, revealing a few yellowed teeth.

Ten meters, nine meters...

The sick old man coughed incessantly, his footsteps slowly approaching.

The stench of a corpse grew stronger and stronger.

Just as the old man stepped within a five-meter range of Lu Xian.

Lu Xian suddenly raised his hand.

The wide sleeves of his taoist robe billowed without wind.

The cuff was pointed at the sick old man.

{Heavenly Garment Suppressing Malevolence effect activated!}

{Soul Value -30 points!}

A red light suddenly flashed within the sleeve.

The people in the livestream room saw a terrifying sight.

Lu Xian's hand seemed to have a terrifying suction force!

The sick old man actually twisted and deformed directly!

Without even letting out a scream, he was instantly shrunk and sucked into Lu Xian's sleeve.

In an instant.

A green-faced ghost seal appeared on the demon-suppressing celestial master robe.

{Congratulations, you have successfully sealed a C-Class Sick Ghost +1. The demon-suppressing celestial master robe has been enhanced!}

{Congratulations, you have triggered a hidden mission—Ghost Catching...}
