Lu Luo slowly walked towards the manor’s hall. Upon entering the manor, he noticed a problem.
His stick—oh no, his stick-leg—had an issue.
Not only did the stick impede his movents, but it even made a creaking noise when he walked.
This noise was exceptionally clear. Lu Luo felt that as long as a player wasn’t deaf, they could basically hear it.
Damn it, there are so many restrictions on the butler. When can the butler truly stand up? Luckily, I have a Fusioner. I’m going to make myself a prosthetic leg later. Wait! If I make myself a fake leg right now, would that be considered breaking the rules?
Lu Luo looked at his leg, pondering over the Fusioner’s abilities, and sank into deep thought.
The rule creators cannot break their own rules. The rule here is that Cultivation Techniques cannot be used, but Sequences can. The Fusioner’s tier is S-04! In that case... the question arises! Should I, or shouldn’t I, make myself a leg?
...
Ten players entered the ga one after another. This was their second round, so they didn’t display any signs of panic.
In fact, so of them even had an eager look on their faces.
From such expressions, it was clear that these people, or at least so of them, had gained quite a lot from the previous round of the ga.
And they had not encountered any danger!
They think the ga is too simple. No way an Eighth Order Exotic Species would be innocent and naive!
Lu Luo, hidden in the shadows, shook his head as he watched these people.
After entering the ga, the players began to listen to the ga’s content.
They also acquired different identities, as well as the special powers each identity granted them.
Butcher, Hunter, Assassin, Accountant, Doctor, Student, Teacher, Miner, Prostitute, Thief.
Each identity’s special power was unique and would provide them with various advantages in the ga.
Moreover, they could fully utilize their own strengths here, which was much better compared to Lu Luo as the butler.
After obtaining their powers, the players started chatting in small groups.
During this chatting process, so of them inadvertently revealed their abilities.
For instance, the Doctor’s ability was very powerful and special—it was resurrection!
He could resurrect one person during the first half of the night and another during the second half.
The Doctor disclosed this ability voluntarily. However, its credibility was unknown.
Regardless, after the Doctor spoke, everyone looked at him much more kindly.
After all, the ability to resurrect was very attractive in this place of unknown danger, signifying a high margin for error.
After the Doctor declared his ability, so had already started to cozy up to him.
Another person who revealed their power was the Miner, whose ability was to dig through walls.
It seed as though he let it slip, but whether he truly spilled the beans inadvertently, no one knew.
Perhaps, like the Doctor, he also wanted others to be aware of his power.
Lu Luo, standing in the shadow of a corner, silently observed the group. He was already aware of the abilities of the Miner and the Doctor.
If what the Doctor said is true, then there will be trouble. That person must be dealt with first.
Quietly watching the Doctor, he waited for the group to disperse. But at this mont, the Observer suddenly provided a prompt.
[Sequence S-11 Observer is analyzing the opponent’s attribute abilities.]
[Affected by an unknown interference, the Observer’s effect is being blocked. Attempting to break through, please wait... 100, 99, 98...]
[Analysis complete. Opponent’s identity: Prostitute.]
[Attributes: Blocked.]
[Abilities: Charm, Deception]
Well, well. A big man who claims to be a doctor actually has the identity of a prostitute. You really can’t trust what people say!
This sudden prompt caught Lu Luo by surprise.
He hadn’t expected the Observer to provide such crucial information in a place like this.
This person isn’t the so-called Doctor at all. His identity is actually a Prostitute! His abilities are Charm and Deception.
As Lu Luo looked at the unquestioning belief of the people around him, he seed to understand the significance of this person’s actions.
He might have learned about the Doctor’s ability through so ans and then used Charm to bewitch the actual Doctor. Afterward, using Deception, he tricked the other players into believing he was the Doctor and indeed possessed the ability to revive twice. As a result, many people would protect him from beginning to end, so this person’s actions wouldn’t be dangerous.
"Quite a clever sche!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, but a few people still lingered.
Left with no choice, Lu Luo switched to Ghost Form and slipped through the walls into the manor’s blacksmith shop.
There were enough materials here for him to reforge a leg for himself.
But when Lu Luo arrived, he discovered a crimson, goat-headed creature standing there.
[Blacksmith. Attributes: Blocked. Abilities: Blocked. Third Tier Humanoid Species.]
Lu Luo imdiately rembered the previous warning: he wasn’t the only servant in the manor!
"Hello there, Steward!"
The goat-headed creature greeted Lu Luo first. Its voice was very low, but overall, Lu Luo did not detect any distinct hostility.
"Hello, Mr. Blacksmith!"
"You actually call ’Mister’? Heh. What a ridiculous flatterer. Die, damned skeleton."
What in the Nine Hells? Lu Luo was stunned. I just used a term of respect, and now you want to kill ?
The goat-headed creature swung its hamr toward Lu Luo.
BOOM!
Lu Luo felt a heavy blow to his chest and was thrown violently to the ground.
Fortunately, his attributes had not changed, and he could still use his Sequence Abilities.
His Constitution of 55, along with the effects of tenacity, allowed him to mitigate much of the damage.
Therefore, the mont he was attacked, Lu Luo counterattacked.
Hook chain!
The hook chain from his left hand shot out. With the Observer assisting his aim, Lu Luo’s hook chain accuracy was nearly an unobstructed 100%.
The hook chain, thrown like a venomous snake, caught the goat creature’s calf. Lu Luo pulled hard on his arm.
The imnse force dragged the goat creature and its large hamr toward him.
Even without Qi He, Lu Luo’s Spiral Sword technique was still usable.
Drawing the sword from his cane, the Spiral Sword thrust pierced the creature’s brain in an instant!
He imdiately used Devourer, obliterating the corpse!
[You have devoured a Third Tier Exotic Species, Blacksmith, gaining 389 energy points.]
Lu Luo displayed utter ruthlessness and decisiveness.
After killing the blacksmith, Lu Luo continued toward the blacksmith shop, but once more, his steps halted.
"Hello there, Steward!"
The goat-headed creature appeared once again! It was unclear whether it was a second one or if the first had revived.
[Blacksmith. Attributes: Blocked. Abilities: Blocked. Third Tier Humanoid Species.]
Lu Luo fell silent for a mont. Is this a ga bug? If I keep killing goat-headed creatures here, can’t I amass tens of thousands of energy points?
Lu Luo didn’t bother conversing with the goat-headed creature again and chose to strike.
SWOOSH!
SPLAT! He killed the goat-headed creature again, but this ti the situation was different.
The creature’s body dissolved, denying Lu Luo the chance to exploit the bug, which was a pity.
After the blacksmith dissolved, Lu Luo imdiately picked up a piece of wrought iron beside the furnace and prepared to leave.
"Hello there, Steward! However, it seems you’ve taken my thing!"
Lu Luo silently turned around. The third ti now!
SPLAT!
The infinite revivals of the goat-headed monster seed to have no significance to , but what about for the players?
Lu Luo watched the dissipating corpse of the goat-headed monster and fell into deep thought.
...
「Elsewhere.」
The Butcher player ca to the second floor of the manor’s villa alone. He preferred to act solo.
Although the ga had advised against going alone, he still chose to do so.
He dared to do this for his own reasons, naturally.
Both his personal strength and the abilities of his Butcher identity gave him enough confidence.
This enabled him to cope on his own, even when facing the manor’s monsters.
"This must be a woman’s room," he said.
The Butcher opened the wardrobe, casually flipped through the clothes, and surmised that the owner was probably a lady aged 40 to 50.
He had no interest in clothes.
Even if there were so crystal pearls on them, it would be troubleso to remove them, and the clothes themselves were cumberso to carry.
So, after a brief search, he turned to look elsewhere.
But at that mont, a pallid human face peeked out from between the garnts in the wardrobe.
As the Butcher turned, the owner of the face silently crawled out from the wardrobe and clung tightly to his back.
But the Butcher was completely oblivious!
He was rapidly searching through the lady’s jewelry box.
Diamond necklaces, jade, jewels, and, in the drawers of the dressing table, various Gold ornants.
Just as he was getting carried away with his findings, the face at his back drew dangerously close to his neck.
A peripheral glance in the mirror on the dressing table made the Butcher’s hair stand on end!
"What the hell is that!" he exclaid.
Turning, he delivered a precise cut with his cleaver, striking the face squarely.
This formidable Third-Tier Specter Species was unexpectedly slain by the Butcher with a single slash. Its death seed sowhat ridiculous and hard to believe.
But the Butcher was still in a state of shock. He touched his neck and then examined his hand.
Blood! He had been bitten by the Specter Species!
Although he didn’t know what consequences this would bring, a bite was a bite.
Being bitten by an Exotic Species was definitely not good news.
Contact with an Exotic Species was extrely dangerous—a thought instilled by years of education within the walls.
"No, I need to find the Doctor! I must find the Doctor!" he cried.
In a frenzied rush, the Butcher headed towards the door. But just as he was about to exit,
THUD!
He was tripped by sothing hard!
Logically, with my current physical Constitution and attributes, how could I have been tripped by anything?
At that mont, a hook chain securely pierced his leg.
"AHH!" he cried out in agony.
The Butcher’s scream echoed throughout the villa as deadly poison began to flow into his body along the hook chain.
The spot where the Specter Species had bitten his neck earlier now throbbed with acute pain. The fall made his head reel.
Due to the toxins, his vision began to blur, but his hearing remained crystal clear.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The sound of a heavy iron bar striking the ground resonated from behind him, like a death knell.
Death was relentlessly approaching!
The Butcher sensed so monster stop right behind him. He was terrified, but he knew he still had one last chance!
The Butcher’s palm tightly gripped the cleaver.
In this dire situation, he suddenly turned and hurled the cleaver at the monster behind him.
SQUISH!
The Spiral Sword pierced right through the Butcher’s palm, pinning his arm and cleaver to the ground.
"AAH!" The Butcher let out another ghastly scream.
This ti, it was not just from pain, but also from fear.
The monster before him was a half-faced skeleton, eerie blue ghostfire flickering constantly in its eye sockets.
A decaying hand clutched a cane sword, while a skeletal arm gripped a chain.
One of its legs was a steel prosthetic. The entire figure looked like a ssenger from the underworld, co specifically to reap the souls of n.
"The first one!"
"UGH!"
The Butcher was killed. Just as Lu Luo was dragging his body away, the voices of players ca from the stairwell.
Lu Luo’s mobility was limited here. He imdiately opened a nearby door, closed it, and hid under the bed, preparing to gather information from their conversations.
If soone manages to enter the room with a key now, I can either attack and kill them stealthily or escape using my Ghost Form. Later, I’ll find a way to retrieve the Butcher’s body. That’s the plan.
However, even a hunter with excellent calculation abilities like Lu Luo would always overlook sothing.
Just like now.
Under the bed, in the space next to him, there was a ’thing’!
Spreading mouthparts, continuously drooling saliva, countless black hands—wasn’t this the indescribable thing from under the bed?
[Indescribable Thing—Under-Bed Ghost. Third Tier Specter Species.]
Just as he thought to hide, he encountered such a thing. Lu Luo imdiately felt very unlucky and punched it.
"What the hell? Scram!"
BOOM!
The wall was smashed through, and the indescribable thing was blasted away by Lu Luo’s punch.
Lu Luo didn’t pursue it. Instead, he poised himself, ready to take the Butcher’s body from outside the door.
From the footsteps climbing up just now, there were sounds of two people. So if there are two players, my attributes will be at 10%, which ans 5.5. If I face three players directly, my attribute values will drop to only 1%—I’d be weaker than a regular person. However, with a strength of 5.5, carrying a person away is quite simple. It’s not a very risky action, so I can move.
"A ghost!"
Amidst the shouts of several people, the indescribable thing and the players started fighting.
Lu Luo seized the opportunity and burst through the door.
But as soon as he stepped out, a strong will enveloped him instantly. All his attributes seed to drain away.
His heavy iron leg even made it difficult for him to stand firm.
The reason for this was that the players engaged in the fight numbered not two, but three!
When three players noticed Lu Luo, all his attributes dropped to 1%.
There were clearly only two sets of footsteps, but now there are three people! Is it so ability to hide their tracks? Could it be that Thief?
Lu Luo, enduring the discomfort, activated his Ghost Form and quickly escaped the puzzled glances of the three, fleeing to an unoccupied room.
Here, he quietly waited for his attributes to recover. This process would take ten minutes.
But contrary to his wishes, the footsteps of two more players approached from the other side of the staircase.
"This place, right here! Although it’s a dining room, I rember that candelabrum being very special. It must be the so-called treasure."
"But I just heard the Butcher’s screams. Shouldn’t we go check it out?"
"Soone else is bound to check. We should take this opportunity to search for items; that’s the right approach. Never mind the items in the ga hub, just escaping this ga world requires collecting many keys, and all of those need Tokens. According to the ga hint, the treasure must be sothing of great value! Follow ."
The voices belonged to a man and a woman, but Lu Luo’s expression wasn’t good.
Because the place he was in *was* the dining room!
[Soone is approaching. Please prepare, Host.]
"This damn place is full of either humans or monsters, forcing to blend in, half-human, half-ghost. This task is indeed quite difficult!"
Lu Luo glanced at his Sequence Abilities, his gaze resting on Sequence S-07, the Summoner.
