Chapter 12 The Haunted House
The meaning of the invitation letter is translated into common text as follows
2567
I'm glad you can understand this invitation and prove that you are not a fool.
Go to 13 Lankenbel Street, where there is a test waiting for you.
Once you pass, you will become my assistant, and I will pay you a corresponding, quite generous reward. If you fail... you will leave regretfully.
Remember, you are not the only person I invite to qualify as my assistant.
You have many competitors.
Psychic: Nikaile
e.9.22
"Test? Contender?"
"Tell everything in advance and let competitors be wary of each other!"
"Have you been nervous before you even started?"
Qin Ran guessed the intention of the 'psychic' Nikailei.
Obviously, the so-called "test" began when he saw the invitation letter.
Qin Ran glanced at the main mission [worked as the psychic assistant for three months] and couldn't help but shrugging.
The situation in front of him is clear at a glance. If he could not even become the assistant of the "Psychic" Nikailei, let alone serve as an assistant for three months.
The main task is naturally a failure.
And this test should not be difficult if calculated based on the difficulty of the second copy.
For this reason, Qin Ran is glad that the difficulty setting of the special dungeon is ‘the number of passes when the player obtains a special dunge’ rather than ‘the current difficulty when the player obtains a special dunge’!
If it were the latter, Qin Ran guessed that the main task would change.
It is definitely not the so-called [acting as a psychic assistant for three months], but a more accurate, designated incident related to the 'psychic' Nikailei.
The difficulty is naturally increased linearly.
However, even if the task in front of you is not very difficult, Qin Ran will not be careless.
Qin Ran has heard enough of the story of a boat capsized in the gutter.
He definitely doesn't want to be the protagonist of the story.
What's more, Qin Ran would never be satisfied with just completing the main task.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ran began to look at the two-story building in front of him and the surrounding environment.
The first thing that caught my eye was the two closed doors made of a whole iron sheet.
The originally black paint on the door has been mottled after experiencing the baptism of time and wind and rain.
After the vermilion rust intertwined with the residual black paint, it was like a pool of solidified blood clots, which made anyone who saw it subconsciously deflect his eyes.
On the door owner on the right side of the door is also rusty door sign hanging.
13 Lankenberg Street!
The vague but still visible handwriting tells Qin Ran that this is the place where he wants to undergo the "test".
However, Qin Ran did not enter immediately.
His past experience in dungeons tells him that every time he enters the starting position of the dungeon world, there will be some items or people that can help the player.
Perhaps such help will disappear as the number of copies increases and the difficulty changes.
However, it is inevitable under the premise of the difficulty of the second copy.
And the 13 Lankenbel Street in front of you is definitely not the place of "test".
So……
Qin Ran looked into the distance.
On the other side of the street, a notice board appeared in Qin Ran's sight.
Qin Ran walked towards the notice board.
The notice board in front of you is not much different from the notice board that Qin Ran knows.
Remove from electronic to paper.
"The Unexpected 13 Lankenbel Street!"
"13 Lankenbel Street, Lankenbelt!"
"Ghost-infested Lankenbel Street!"
"The Frightened 'Bold One'!"
"Beware! The ghosts at 13 Lankenbel Street are beginning to devour lives!"
...
The notice board is covered with news about 13 Lankenberg Street. They are all cut from newspapers.
There are five reports in total.
The earliest date is e.7.12, and the most recent date is e.8.21.
Among the five reports, the first two are that the owner of the house became extremely lucky and had various accidents as soon as he moved into No. 13 Lankenbel Street.
Starting from the third item, a special event occurs.
The fourth is a report that a man who did not believe in ghosts moved into No. 13, Lankenbel Street, but was scared away just one day later.
And the fifth report shows a murder case!
A drunkard must have mistakenly entered No. 13 Lankenbel Street and was found hanging on the iron door the next day.
Qin Ran focused on the fifth report, which was completely different from the other four reports.
Unfortunately, except for the fact that the drunkard was hanged on the gate of 13 Lankenbel Street, it is certain that the whole article was full of speculations, without any direct or substantial evidence.
"Solve the immediate events. As a test?"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two-story building.
In the sun, No. 13 Lankenbel Street, blocked by trees, looks particularly quiet. If it weren't for the door that people don't want to see too much, it would definitely be a good place to go under the scorching sun.
"etc!"
"door?!"
Qin Ran turned around suddenly and looked at the fifth report again. After reading it from beginning to end, Qin Ran quickly walked towards the gate of No. 13 Lankenbel Street.
After a while, Qin Ran raised his eyebrows after careful observation.
He found something interesting.
However, there is one thing that needs to be verified.
Without delay, Qin Ran quickly left Lankenberg Street.
...
At night, Qin Ran returned to No. 13 Lankenbel Street again.
The streets that seemed quiet at noon were completely shrouded in darkness at this time. All the street lights around seemed to have lost their function.
And, unlike before he left.
At this time, the iron gate at No. 13 Lankenbel Street had been opened, and Qin Ran, who was standing outside, could clearly see the lights in the room through the window.
It's not electric lights, but candlelight.
In the dark night, a little candlelight not only does not bring people the light they deserve, but on the contrary, it makes the surroundings look darker.
Especially as the candlelight jumps and the light becomes light and dark, the trees are twisted and changed under the printing, just like monsters and monsters scattering their teeth and claws.
The trees that bring coolness and comfort at noon will only make people feel scared and feel cold in their hearts at this time.
However, Qin Ran ignored these things at all.
He walked through the gate and the gravel corridor in front of him, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door in front of him.
Dong, Dongdong!
The extremely rhythmic knock on the door spread far away under the night.
The next moment, a slightly heavy footstep sound appeared in Qin Ran's ears.
Squeak!
The door slowly opened with the friction of the door frame with a sore tooth.
A face appeared and disappeared under the candlelight.
