"Indeed, surviving under the bombardnt of the main shipborne artillery doesn’t seem very likely. We must have triggered his ability, or..." Yang Dong frowned, saying, "It’s precisely because of our Qi that he keeps reappearing in cycles."
Everyone was slightly stunned, and Invisible Red Dust squinted his eyes when he heard the words, saying, "You an it’s because of us that he can’t be eliminated?"
"Possibly, the Strategy Group has researched many ghosts and there have been such cases before. When [Players] reach certain conditions, they will be subjected to one-sided restrictions by ghosts, such as..." Yang Dong frowned, "We can’t kill him!"
Invisible Red Dust’s expression was slightly heavy, he had heard similar rumors before: "Forced restrictions on [Players]? It’s possible. I’ve encountered ghosts with this ability. For example, [Players] can’t deal physical damage to them, but they can act wantonly against [Players]. At that ti, my level was low and I didn’t have any mysterious system skills, so I kept getting beaten up, and even lost a teammate. It wasn’t until later..."
"What happened later?"
"Later, the teammate who wasn’t restricted eliminated the ghost." Invisible Red Dust said.
"And the only one who isn’t restricted here, or rather the one with Qi not connected, is..." everyone then looked at Li Changhe.
Li Changhe was slightly stunned and understood. According to their guess, no matter how strong they were, they wouldn’t be able to eliminate the giant skeleton. They were restricted.
And the only one in the crowd who wasn’t restricted was Li Changhe.
"Hahaha, you still need to go?" A smug laugh ca from Li Changhe’s dog head mask, but then it suddenly stopped, "You want , a level 1, to solo a ghost of this size? What are you thinking!"
Yang Dong’s face looked awful for a mont, that was true - the only unrestricted [Player] here was the one with the lowest level. Even if Li Changhe is under the [Immaculate Breathing Skill], each of his attributes 1 would still not work. It’s impossible to deal with a ghost of this size without powerful skills or destructive weapons.
"Either we find a way to lift the restrictions on us now." Invisible Red Dust felt Li Changhe’s malice in his words, wrinkled his brow, but did not refute. They had almost wrongly accused him earlier, and now they were asking Li Changhe to face the ghost alone. It was natural to be scolded.
"Removing the restrictions? That requires understanding the traits of that thing!" Yang Dong shook his head helplessly, "We, [Great Wall]... haven’t thought about it before. After receiving the task, we went to investigate and even found the contractor for the renovation of the old school campus. But we didn’t get much useful information. This ghost may have existed for too long. But from the limited information we have, the Strategy Group didn’t provide many answers."
"This makes question the abilities of your [Great Wall] Strategy Group. Is this how you [Great Wall] protect the people?" Li Changhe sneered, his attitude toward Yang Dong and Invisible Red Dust was bad. The two had almost attacked him earlier, and although they were overly tense at that ti, it was enough for Li Changhe with his cautious character to hold a grudge for now.
Yang Dong showed a bitter smile, with nothing to protest. This task should have been under his command, but he was the first to be teleported away. He didn’t clear a single one of the three task locations, and almost attacked Li Changhe afterwards. Now he couldn’t even provide useful information, and it was justified to be mocked by Li Changhe.
"Then... Eight-direction, your Symbiotic Body is also a ghost from this campus, does she have any clues to provide?" Laughing Gentleman looked at Li Changhe, trying to give Yang Dong a way out.
Li Changhe would give face to Xiao Nan. He thought for a mont and said, "Share the information that you got from [Great Wall] with ."
Yang Dong hesitated for a mont before saying, "That contractor doesn’t know much either; it happened 17 years ago. He can only rember a little, and even though we used psychological cues and hypnosis, we didn’t get much information."
"During one night, the old school district had just recently started its renovation plan. Originally, they were going to repair the wall tiles, but they disappeared one night. You know how expensive tiles were in that era. After discussing with the workers, the contractor thought soone had stolen the tiles, and they didn’t attribute the matter to supernatural events."
Li Changhe nodded slightly, as ordinary people wouldn’t associate lost construction materials with supernatural events.
"So they decided to arrange for a few workers to patrol at night, and to bring several dogs to watch the equipnt. This should prevent any further attempts to steal tiles." Yang Dong paused for a mont then continued, "Indeed, no more tiles went missing. But the dogs disappeared."
"Pfft," Yun Ting, the female ghost behind Li Changhe, laughed. Everyone looked over.
Li Changhe also looked back and said, "Sister, low sense of humor you have."
"That’s why I heard dog barks back then." Yun Ting said lightly, "Fortunately, they decided to start the renovation from the first teaching building; otherwise, it would be more than just losing dogs. When I beca a ghost, I realized a lot. For example, we, as ghosts, generally won’t be discovered or seen by people. But animals are different, especially cats and dogs. Their eyes can vaguely see us."
"It seems using dogs to watch the tiles shouldn’t be a problem." Earth Knight whispered.
"Heh, if I knew there were cats and dogs around . I would either hide imdiately or quickly kill them or drive them away," Yun Ting chuckled, "or else wait to be discovered, and have monks and Taoist priests co to exorcise us?"
Everyone nodded slightly, indeed, though cats and dogs could discover ghosts, it wasn’t as if they had the ability to deal with them. At most, they played a warning role. If there were any rational ghosts, they would definitely act like that.
"Don’t say that outside. It’ll bring over the animal rights people. Even if you’re a ghost, you’ll still be dragged out for criticism." Li Changhe joked in response, "And it’s way more difficult to deal with than priests and monks."
"Animal rights? What’s that? Is it a ghost exorcising industry that has erged in the past decade or so?" The female ghost Yun Ting curiously asked, since she had been stuck in the old school district for 20 years, she didn’t know what was happening outside.
"More than just exorcising ghosts, even driving people out." Earth Knight complained.
"Ahem, let’s get back to the topic." Yang Dong saw that the conversation was headed in a strange direction and interrupted them, "After the dogs were gone, the workers were dumbfounded. It was one thing to steal tiles, but even the dogs disappeared. The patrolling workers didn’t even hear any barking. They suspected a team of thieves and decided to have so workers stake out the place. At that ti, they had just organized the basent of the first teaching building. They put so equipnt in the basent and had three strong workers stay on duty. anwhile, workers were also patrolling around the old school district with dogs. Then..."
"The dogs all ran away, tail between their legs after barking a few tis simultaneously during that one night. The contractor realized the situation was more serious than he had thought. He quickly brought people to the basent, only to find that it was empty. The three workers and the equipnt had disappeared." As Yang Dong said this, he raised his eyebrows, "What’s even stranger is that the basent wasn’t even supposed to exist in the old school district’s original plans. There shouldn’t have been a basent in Yanyun Old School District."
