Chapter 2: Invitation to the Horror Game? ?
After leaving the hospital, Lin Chen went straight home.
He lives in the suburbs of Linjiang City, and Dean Hao's hospital is also located in the suburbs, not far from each other.
Walking slowly along the way, feeling the breeze of the autumn evening, Lin Chen looked very happy.
Nothing else.
He finally caught a ghost again after two years!
Since connecting to the ghost-catching system, Lin Chen has gone out to look for ghosts every night.
The lonely graves in the desolate mountains and wilderness, the unattended mass graves, the cold morgues of hospitals, and the crematoriums are the final destination of life.
Lin Chen would check in at these places every few days, just in the hope of getting lucky and encountering a ghost.
Thinking of the hardships of these years, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh and said:
"System, have you chosen the wrong place? There are not many ghosts in this world. How can a system like you, who makes money by reselling ghosts, survive in this world?"
system:"……"
Lin Chen's expression was casual, until he was about to reach home, when his expression suddenly froze.
Just in front of him, a black shadow emitting a trace of negative energy was rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.
"ghost?"
Lin Chen was startled, but quickly reacted. It was just Yin Qi, without any fluctuation of ghost power, so it couldn't be a ghost.
Lin Chen frowned, but did not take it lightly. Instead, he stared at the black shadow seriously. There was a faint black aura on the surface of the shadow, and he was ready to take action at any time.
However, when the black shadow was about to reach Lin Chen, it suddenly changed its speed and fell lightly in front of Lin Chen like a fallen leaf.
Lin Chen took it subconsciously and took a closer look. It turned out to be an unopened black envelope!
Was it a letter written by a ghost?
How did it end up here?
Lin Chen was very surprised. Now even ghosts can write letters?
He wiped away all the negative energy on the envelope with his hand, and then opened the envelope.
Black envelope:
Dear lucky winner No. 59, hello, congratulations on receiving the employment invitation of the Haunted Restaurant. You will start working as a waiter in the Haunted Restaurant 24 hours after receiving the envelope. Welcome to the world of haunted people. This will be a thrilling journey. We look forward to seeing you.
——An invitation from the horror game.
There is also an extremely weird smiling skull face next to the signature!
The PS below is a countdown.
23:59:50.
23:59:49.
…
"Entry notification?"
Lin Chen's eyes widened, not because he was frightened by the contents of the letter, but because he found it a little unbelievable.
He has been a professional ghost catcher for 20 years, but he rarely encounters ghosts. This shows how many ghosts there are in this world! Not to mention a restaurant opened by evil ghosts. It is impossible for this to exist, okay?
But the negative energy on the letter couldn't be fake, and writing the ticking time with a fountain pen was something that even he couldn't do.
Lin Chen thought about it for a moment. Although he really wanted to go to this haunted restaurant, there was not even a signpost on the letter. So he had to put the envelope in his pocket and walked straight home.
He felt that after the 24-hour countdown on the envelope was over, perhaps something would happen.
Suddenly discovering clues about the ghost, Lin Chen began to get excited.
…
Shortly after Lin Chen left, a man and a woman in black clothes came anxiously to the place where Lin Chen had just stood.
The two of them searched around with their instruments for a long time, and the woman took out her phone with an unpleasant look on her face and dialed a number:
"Team leader, we have arrived at the location where the invitation signal No. 59 disappeared, but there is nothing around!"
"Is there no remaining Yin energy? Did the invitation letter disappear out of thin air?" The voice on the phone was that of a middle-aged man, who also seemed a little surprised and suspicious.
"No, it's very clean, as if someone has wiped away the negative energy of the invitation itself." The woman said this almost forcefully.
Because when the invitation letter for a horror game selects players, it will definitely choose novice players. Novice players represent ordinary people, so how could they possibly have the ability to erase the evil spirit?
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. The middle-aged man on the other end sighed and said:
"In that case, you should go to the location of invitation The signal there has not disappeared. Be sure to bring back the players who received the invitation letter and keep it confidential. The dungeon our department is responsible for this time is called the Haunted Restaurant. It is very dangerous. Find all the new players and bring them to the headquarters as soon as possible. The trainers and guides selected by the organization are ready."
"receive!"
…
After a while, Lin Chen returned home.
Lin Chen lives in a walk-up building in an old neighborhood because the rent would be cheaper that way.
Three months after graduating from university, Lin Chen moved in. During these three months, he did not look for a job. Although he needed money very much, he was more focused on finding and catching ghosts.
The purpose of going to school is to gain knowledge and integrate into this world. The time is fixed, and there are winter and summer vacations every year, which does not affect his ghost hunting.
There is no need for much work.
As for the source of income, it currently all depends on Lin Chen's lock-picking skills.
The lock-picking skills drawn from the system allow Lin Chen to open any type of lock easily.
Therefore... Lin Chen used this skill to occasionally take orders on some platforms to alleviate the embarrassment of insufficient funds.
…
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Chen couldn't wait to close the doors and windows and draw the curtains.
"System, extract the Yi Jin Jing."
These two skills have been itching to be obtained by Lin Chen for a long time, but he has never had a suitable opportunity to obtain them. The main reason is that Lin Chen is worried that after obtaining the skills, something might happen and he might be discovered.
[The Yi Jin Jing has been successfully extracted and the first level has been automatically cultivated for the host. ]
In an instant, Lin Chen felt a memory pouring into his brain. It was the practice method of the Yi Jin Jing. This kind of memory infusion was no pressure at all for him.
This is the direct connection between him and his higher spiritual value than ordinary people.
At the same time, Lin Chen discovered that a stream of refined power was naturally born from his Dantian, flowing along the Ren and Du meridians to his limbs and bones!
It gave him an indescribable feeling of expansion, which was very similar to the feeling he had when he first swallowed the physical fruit.
His physical condition is improving significantly!
This essence of power is internal force, which flows in Lin Chen's flesh and blood like blood. In addition to amplifying Lin Chen himself, this power also comprehensively refines Lin Chen's meridians and bones!
Black mucus impurities began to seep out of his body.
The internal force of the Yi Jin Jing cleansed Lin Chen's body for a full half hour before it calmed down. Lin Chen opened his eyes, and a visible brilliance flashed in his eyes.
He circulated his internal energy and exhaled lightly. Suddenly, the carbon dioxide was like a gas bomb, smashing a glass cup on the table into pieces!
Lin Chen was overjoyed, this was simply an incredible power!
At the same time, his own physical strength also improved significantly.
Physical value: 170 points.
A full 20-point increase!
The power increase of Yi Jin Jing is really significant. Coupled with the unpredictable internal force, Lin Chen's strength has increased significantly!
And this is only the first level. You must know that the Yi Jin Jing has a total of ten levels. If all of them are successfully practiced, Lin Chen has no idea how powerful he will be?
Regarding Yi Jin Jing, the system's introduction is: "The most powerful internal energy technique in a certain super martial arts world."
I think the power of Shaolin Yi Jin Jing will be very different from that described in some martial arts novels in previous lives.
Lin Chen was very satisfied with the effect of Yi Jin Jing, as it not only enabled him to possess internal strength, but also increased his physique.
Next, Lin Chen went to the bathroom, washed off the smelly and pungent impurities on his body, and then turned his attention to another book on martial arts.
Ten slaps to subdue the ghost.
