Chapter 288: The Ghost Tricked by the System
"As long as I give you this ghost, I will have fulfilled my promise. Then you will open the copy and let me leave, right?"
"Not bad." Lin Chen nodded.
Chonglan was indeed too strong, too mysterious and unstable, and he didn't want to leave this ghost here.
Chong Lan nodded, very satisfied with Lin Chen's frankness. He bent down, picked up Mingxun directly, and threw him to Lin Chen casually.
It was surprising that such a ghost, the greatest in a hundred years, was thrown around casually like cargo in front of these two people.
Lin Chen took it and looked at Ming Xun with a smile, "I thought it was a shock, but it turned out to be a surprise. It's an unexpected gain. You really gave me a great gift."
Mingxun's face was dull and his eyes were empty.
His condition was very bad at this time. Although the fight was short, Chonglan's unparalleled strength was too terrifying.
Three extremely violent punches and two kicks injured him both externally and internally, bringing him to the point of being on the verge of death. Even his palace-level origin could hardly recover, and he no longer had any fighting power.
Pride and self-esteem suffered a great blow.
This made the number one ghost in a hundred years, not only physically injured, but also mentally confused.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, was just the opposite. He was already breathing heavily with excitement. If it weren't for his strong self-control, his hands would probably be shaking. He was so excited to the extreme.
"I never expected that the first temple ghost in my life would come like this."
Lin Chen grinned, looking just like a big-tailed wolf. He took out a Happy Plate blade and was about to attack Ming Xun.
"etc!"
At this moment, Ming Xun, who was in a depressed state, suddenly shouted out with strength coming from nowhere.
The voice was so abrupt and loud that it startled Lin Chen who was immersed in joy.
"What? Still want to resist?"
Before Lin Chen could say anything, Chong Lan on the side raised his eyebrows, clenched his fists, and walked over with a fierce look on his face.
"Don't! Don't!"
Mingxun seemed to be stimulated and had come back to his senses from his daze. After seeing Chonglan, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he spoke quickly.
Why is this guy like a ruffian? Just like Dong Potian.
Lin Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then said unhappily: "Don't hit him, or you'll really kill him. I told you to be gentle, if you kill him, what are you going to give me to compensate me?"
Chong Lan was furious, as if Lin Chen's words to him made him very uncomfortable, but soon he thought of the contract they had agreed upon before and suppressed his anger.
He had no need and no desire to argue with Lin Chen anymore. He had only one thought at the moment, which was to go home.
I've been outside for too long and have been suffering all day long.
Now he misses home.
He sighed and looked towards the horizon. Seeing this not-so-dark world, he felt his body and mind empty.
“It’s good to be back…”
Lin Chen also turned around and looked at Ming Xun, holding the pink sack and continuing to put it down.
"Wait, who are you?" Ming Xun spoke, looking at Chonglan with hatred.
"You are from the Yinyue royal family, right?" Chonglan lowered his head, looked at Mingxun for a while, and suddenly smiled.
"Yes, since you know the Yinyue Royal Family, you are also a member of my horror world ? Why do you want to help humans?" Ming Xun was trying to find a way to save himself. Having fallen to this point, he could only place his hope on negotiation.
"There is no such thing as the opposite. I just want to break free from the seal. As for my identity, you may have heard of it." Chonglan smiled mysteriously and then spoke slowly.
"I am Ji Lan from Ji Dao Hai."
This is not his real name, but a title used externally.
When these words were spoken, Ming Xun was stunned and stood there in a daze.
The ghost kings standing by were all dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.
After a long while, Ming Xun exclaimed, "Are you the Ji Ghost from a hundred years ago? The Ji Lan who suppressed the Hidden Ghost Power to 9999 and proved the limit of the Hidden Ghost Power?"
"What's the limit? Isn't this human stronger than I was back then?" Chong Lan glanced at Lin Chen and said with a curled lip.
"After you entered a copy a hundred years ago, you never came back. I didn't expect that you were sealed here. What happened?" Ming Xun said.
Back then, Chonglan entered a three-star copy and never came back, which caused a huge uproar in the entire horror world.
But before they could get angry, someone discovered that the copy Chong Lanjin had entered was permanently closed, leaving no clues.
The possibility of an extreme ghost who broke through to 9999 hidden ghost power dying in a three-star copy is too low.
But with no survivors or clues leaked, all of this can only remain an unsolved mystery.
"The copy exploded and I was stranded outside." Chonglan said concisely.
For some reason, this simple sentence made everyone present, including the ghosts, inexplicably realize the bitterness contained in it.
"Why don't you go back to the horror world? Can't you do that with your player privileges?" Ming Xun said.
"The explosion happened so suddenly, as if I was struck by some powerful force. I went through untold hardships to return to this world, and then I was unexpectedly suppressed here." As if because he had been suppressed for too many years, Chong Lan spoke without hesitation.
Only this time, when he spoke, there was obvious anger and pain that he could not suppress.
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
This is too miserable!
An extremely powerful ghost who was favored by all the strong men participated in a three-star copy and should have made a safe return, but the copy suddenly exploded.
After the explosion, he was stranded outside again. After finally returning, he was again suppressed by the will of the horror game.
It's really unlucky.
Chong Lan sighed slightly in his heart. This was all he could say. There were some things he couldn't say even if he wanted to. He had the rules of the mining area in his body, and couldn't tell anyone else about anything in the mining area.
"The past is too painful to recall..."
Lin Chen sighed. Chonglan's experience was so eventful that it made him feel a little miserable.
Then, without waiting for others to speak, he took the blade and slashed at Mingxun's body.
Of course, he couldn't refuse the palace-level ghost domain. He put the bag on Mingxun.
"No!"
Mingxun screamed and gathered his last bit of strength to fight back desperately.
But at this moment, his strength was no longer a big deal to Lin Chen.
With just a few moves, he successfully cut out the ghost domain of this palace ghost.
When the ghost domain came out, the faces of all the ghost kings turned extremely pale. Even though it had no effect on them, they still felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts to their backs.
Even Chonglan's eyes couldn't help but twitch twice.
"I don't need the kidneys for now. I don't need the skill upgrade scrolls anymore."
Afterwards, Lin Chen took out a pink sack and put it on Ming Xun, who seemed to be dying.
Mingxun's pupils shrank and his heart was beating wildly.
When he saw the pink sack, he felt an irrepressible fear in his heart.
It seems that once you are trapped in it, something more terrifying than life or death will happen .
This made him resist to the extreme.
But at this point, he was powerless to save the situation and could only watch as the darkness fell upon him.
"System, reselling."
[Successfully resold to the mining area, and obtained 4.9 million Shengui coins. 】
The high-end palace level, originally priced at 7 million, was discounted by 30% in the ghost domain, leaving 4.9 million.
Although, in theory, this powerful species of ghost would have additional benefits, but considering that he only caught "one of the twin ghosts", Lin Chen didn't care.
And just as he stood up with a smile on his face.
The silent system suddenly made a sound.
[Detect the escaped miner, capture it and get an extra red quality reward]
"???"
Lin Chen was stunned at first, then his expression suddenly became extremely interesting. He looked at Chong Lan in disbelief and thought to himself, "You said he was a miner who escaped?"
【good.】
"How is this possible? How did he get into the mining area? Am I the only ghost hunter?" Lin Chen said.
【I...I did it.】
"???"
Lin Chen was completely dumbfounded.
"You catch ghosts too?"
[I happened to pass by and smelled his aura. He was a ghost with a hidden power of 9999, which was rare. I lost control and was taken away by him. This was the first time I did such an immoral thing. I never did it again.]
"Damn it, who are you calling immoral? Who are you? Were you once a human being?"
[No, I can’t talk about this for now, but you are my only host, please put away your jealousy.]
“…”
Lin Chen was speechless, but after a while, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "So this is your loophole. The ghost you sold suddenly ran back, and then asked me to help you deal with the after-sales. Then this ghost was sealed here. Could it be that you also guided it?"
[No, the smell on him is very offensive to the horror game, so I just put him here.]
"Thriller games really have a will?"
[Nonsense, he is a master, very powerful, we need to act carefully, so that we can secretly dig out the great treasure of horror games. ]
…
Lin Chen admitted that his eyes had indeed been opened and he had been exposed to many things that ordinary people could not know.
But when he wanted to continue asking questions, the system went into idle mode again and stopped talking.
Lin Chen had to suppress his curiosity temporarily, and finally, he set his sights on Chong Lan.
"This guy is simply the most unlucky person in the world. He finally gathered 9999 hidden ghost power to break through, but he happened to encounter an uncontrollable system. In the blink of an eye, he mined for a hundred years, and as soon as he returned, he was shocked by the will of the game again."
"However, considering this ghost's current strength that can kill Mingxun with three punches, it's better not to provoke him for now. I'll provide after-sales service later."
"And he must not know that I can send ghosts into the mines."
Lin Chen thought so, and then it was as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Chong Lan, who was watching from the side, suddenly couldn't help but become suspicious. He asked, "Your pink sack is quite special. It can even hold a palace. Especially its smell. I seem to have smelled it somewhere before..."
Hearing this, Lin Chen laughed and said, "The flour mill next door to our house is just renovated by me. These are all basic operations. Don't think too much about it."
As he spoke, the pink sack immediately gave off a different scent. Although it was only a slight change, it was completely different from the feeling it gave before.
Seeing this, Chonglan could only shake his head and no longer care.
And during this conversation, Mingxun, the number one ghost in a hundred years, came to an end.
It's a bit unreal and a bit dramatic.
But in the end, the ghost kings could only sigh quietly, their expressions extremely gloomy.
Ultimately, it was because Chong Lan was too powerful.
Lin Chen looked past the ghost kings and towards the seven five-star players standing together. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "You wanted to leave just now, right?"
The seven people felt a chill in their hearts, and they quickly forced a smile to explain: "We didn't mean anything else. In the situation just now, we would have died if we stayed. We are all fighting for Blue Star, so please forgive us."
"What you said makes sense. Everyone lives their own life." Lin Chen nodded.
The seven people were stunned, then they felt a little relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lin Chen's next words made the seven people tense again.
"However, because I helped the Blue Star team win, and you also won the reward for the horror game, shouldn't you give it back to me? After all, I'm not familiar with you." Lin Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Chen, aren't you going a bit too far? No matter what, we are in the same camp. You represent humanity." One of the five-star players with a quick temper spoke up immediately.
"You didn't think so much when you retreated. You ate my food and drank my drinks. You got such great benefits for no reason. You should at least give me some back." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"You!" The five-star player was about to speak again, but was quickly stopped by others.
"Chen, I can give you all the tens of millions of ghost coins I have obtained, but the ghost power has been bestowed on me and cannot be returned."
"Yes, I can also give you corresponding compensation."
Everyone spoke up, saying that except for the ghost power, everything else could be returned.
After all, even the hall ghost Mingxun was captured by Lin Chen. Due to his power, even though they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to contradict Lin Chen too much.
Although they seemed to be very cooperative, outsiders actually had no idea how much rewards they had received. They all planned to secretly keep some important rewards and return some superficial rewards to Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I want the ghost power too."
The seven people's faces changed, and then they said: "How can I give you the ghost power? This has been melted into the body. If you are really so ruthless, I can gather some protection that can increase the ghost power for you, or use ghosts to pay off the debt."
"No need, I'll take it myself. Your kidneys should contain a lot of ghost power, cut them out and we'll be even." Lin Chen sneered, winked at Zhou Geng and the other two, and secretly sent a message: "Scare them and make them spit out all the rewards they can. There are no Chinese players here, so we'll rip them off if we can."
"This kid has a broken heart."
"It's so black that I dug it out of my mouth."
"I like it."
Zhou Geng and the other two grumbled in their hearts, feeling a little excited. As they had reached five stars, they naturally knew how rich the five-star rewards were.
Then they all moved aside and surrounded the seven people at different angles.
"Chen, are you serious?"
"You are killing your own kind. Do you want to make the world your enemy?"
"Zhou Geng, do you want to help the tyrant?"
The seven people were dumbfounded, and the next moment, they all started shouting angrily.
They wanted to suppress Lin Chen from the perspective of justice. After all, they were all important combat forces of Blue Star and were part of the team that fought against the horror world.
"What I hate most is being threatened. Hold me down and I'll cut your kidney!" Lin Chen's face was fierce, as if he was enraged.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Geng and the other two raised the corners of their mouths slightly and immediately burst out with strong ghost power.
The strong and cold ghost power came towards them, and the seven people suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and their hope of luck completely disappeared.
Although they had the advantage in numbers, they had lost the dungeon enhancement. Facing three extremely powerful and enhanced five-star players, they were no match at all.
"Zhou Geng, do you really want to break up?"
"You, the Dark Guards, the Seraphs, the War Wolves, are you really going to listen to this kid and kill us all?"
"We didn't go too far. Even if we were a little cruel, we shouldn't have gone to this extent!"
"Brother Zhou, I even treated you to a meal."
The seven people panicked and quickly set their sights on Zhou Geng.
It is well known that Zhou Geng has worked hard for the human race. They cannot impress Lin Chen and can only come to Zhou Geng to plead for mercy.
Sure enough, when the seven people spoke up, Zhou Geng hesitated and seemed to be very conflicted. After a long while, he looked at Lin Chen and said, "Chen boy, why don't you give me some face and let this matter go."
The seven people were delighted and looked at Lin Chen immediately.
However, Lin Chen said very coldly: "No, you have to bend your back."
