Li Changhe, wearing his self-made crossover gloves, recalled the intel Pan Ke had bought.
The second teaching building in the old campus was the scene of one of the paranormal events.
In the 303 room on the third floor of the second teaching building, a teacher and three female students had once hanged themselves.
At that ti, the police failed to find the murderer, so they concluded it was a suicide.
This incident beca the main reason for the abandonnt of the old campus. It was just too creepy.
Li Changhe pondered the clues in the intel while also taking a flashlight from his [Player Backpack]. In order to avoid triggering tasks suddenly, Li Changhe had already prepared many things in the [Player Backpack].
The Wolf Eye flashlight was naturally essential. The light swept across the dark corridor, showing Li Changhe the way to go upstairs.
The choice of this [Task Location] was intentional. After all, Li Changhe's level was only lv1. In terms of basic attributes, only his physique was randomly increased by one point, and it wasn't clear what the difference was between him and ordinary people.
If there was any advantage, it would be the [Blood-stained lead ball] and the self-made crossover gloves. The forr had already been comnted on by the [Evolution Ga], stating that it would deal additional damage to mysterious and fantasy species.
The latter were the crossover weapons Li Changhe made himself, so they should be effective. After all, they had been influenced by Buddhism and Daoism.
Compared to the unknown [Art Gallery] and the [Basent] that made workers disappear, this place could obviously be effectively dealt with using these two pieces of equipnt.
Li Changhe didn't think much about the forr, as the lack of clues ant that there were unknowns, and accidentally encountering a Behemoth would be disastrous. As for the latter, since it was able to make strong workers disappear, Li Changhe wouldn't dare to try it. He was sure that he didn't have more combat power than the three workers. If sothing could kill three workers, it wouldn't be difficult to kill him.
After much consideration, this place seed to be the safest choice. Even if there were ghosts and spirits, he could resist them with his equipnt.
By the ti he thought of this, Li Changhe had already reached the third floor. But to his surprise, he saw another player's... buttocks.
Earth Knight!
It was rely because the Earth Knight had entered the campus a few minutes before Li Changhe that he was now lying stealthily on the ground, slowly retreating.
Sensing the light behind him, Earth Knight looked back and whispered, "Back off! Show your naplate!" At the sa ti, his own [Player Naplate] also flashed above his head.
Li Changhe naturally complied. At least during the [Task], [Players] must help each other to avoid reducing their limited combat power.
As for displaying the naplate, it was for each other to identify their identities in order not to have teammates replaced by those strange entities. Only [players] could see [Player Naplates], which were the only things that could prove their identities.
After Earth Knight said this, he said nothing more and continued to retreat slowly as if there was sothing dangerous in front of him.
Li Changhe held his breath and watched vigilantly in the direction Earth Knight was looking. If there was any movent, he could at least run quickly. If even an lv4 player had to be vigilant about sothing, Li Changhe wouldn't test his crossover gloves.
Finally, Earth Knight retreated to Li Changhe's side and sat up gasping for breath.
He also removed his face-covering helt. Li Changhe's pupils shrank as he saw that the inside of the helt was full of... won's hair. The black strands were wrapped around Earth Knight's neck as if they were alive.
It seed very dangerous – so dangerous that Earth Knight didn't care about hiding his appearance. His handso face was flushed at the mont, and it took a few labored breaths to regain his composure.
"If my physique wasn't at eight points, I would have been suffocated to death!" The Earth Knight's full-body armor began to fade, revealing the bodysuit underneath, which was probably put in the [Player Backpack].
The hair on his body gradually lost its vitality and hung down, making him look like a proto-human with a regressed appearance.
Li Changhe didn't just watch. He stepped forward and helped remove those eerie strands of hair.
"What happened?" Li Changhe asked, trying to keep his voice hoarse.
"Don't bother lowering your voice. There's no need. I'm not from Yanyun. I'm not interested in other [Players]' identities either." Earth Knight felt helpless that Li Changhe was still carefully hiding his voice. He said, "I was teleported to the rooftop of this building. Knowing that the 303 room on the third floor was the task point, I ca down. I even took out the armor that Vatican priests had prayed for, thinking it would be of so use for this task. I didn't expect to be targeted just a few steps in. Self-made equipnt is really useless! I still have to wait until lv5 when the [Forge] is unlocked and synthesize it."
Hearing this, Li Changhe cursed silently, throwing the crossover gloves in his hand into the [Player Backpack] and noting that at lv5, the [Title] and [Forge] would be unlocked.
He lowered his voice again and said, "Is the danger of this task point just the hair you experienced earlier? Why were you crawling backward earlier?"
"The hair should be just one aspect. As I walked, I felt sothing was wrong with the armor. I don't know how it appeared. It would approach us with room 303 as the center. I had to move backwards with my back to the room, or it would had strangled in no ti."
Earth Knight touched his swollen neck and shook his head, "In that situation, not to ntion completing the task, it was difficult for to even approach. I could only retreat and wait for teammates or think of other ways."
Though Earth Knight spoke lightly, the situation was extrely dangerous.
If one had a weaker psychological quality and chose to turn and run when facing danger, they might be strangled by the hair.
There were no diocre people among the higher-ranked [Players], especially those who had completed multiple tasks. Neither their ntality nor their strength could be underestimated.
As for those with poor mindset, they might not make it past their first [Task].
"Did the hair appear out of thin air or burrow into your neck?" Li Changhe asked.
"I don't have Magic Eye or Eye Enhancent Skills, so I didn't notice. But I theorize that it burrowed in. At our current levels below lv10, we shouldn't et those high-level ghosts that spring from nothingness." Earth Knight analyzed.
"Let's give it a try then." Li Changhe muttered as he took a short knife from his [Player Backpack]. Putting the blunt side tightly against the back of his neck, he approached room 303.
Earth Knight also took out two steel knives, keeping a vigilant eye on Li Changhe's back.
The cooperation between the two was established quickly. Li Changhe acted as the vanguard, with the higher-leveled Earth Knight providing support or auxiliary help.
After a few steps, Li Changhe's eyes tightened. He activated his skill, [Eagle Eye lv1].
The originally dark corridor grew instantly clearer. It wasn't that the light suddenly beca brighter, but that the retina could capture more reflections of the light.
Li Changhe saw that there were faint black objects flowing out of the walls around room 303. At the sa ti, there was a faint sense of silken threads wrapping around his neck.
The knife pressed against the back of his neck also felt like it was cutting through sothing. It was no wonder that Earth Knight hadn't detected them. In the dark corridor, with black hair entwined from both sides, it would be difficult to discover without [Eagle Eye].
"I get it. As we approach 303, hair will erge from the walls, wrapping around our necks." Li Changhe quickly retreated, shouting, "Attack the walls!"
Earth Knight, who had been ready, used his skill.
