Professor Cliff's cries gradually became sharp, and thick black mist surged out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, like a deflating balloon. The black mist flowed out and wrapped around his body, turning his skin into a color resembling withered wood.

His facial features were also corroded by the black mist, completely unrecognizable, with only a pair of fierce crimson pupils remaining.

Black mist surrounded his body, and as he raised his arm, the black mist shot out like tentacles, piercing through the body of the nearest man, causing him to quickly wither and become nourishment for Professor Cliff.

"No! Gerson! No!!" a woman shouted heartbreakingly.

The tranquility of the night was completely shattered, and the lawn of the mansion was filled with screams of terror.

In less than three seconds, the weeping Professor Cliff, under the influence of the Weird Rules, transformed into a sinister Evil Spirit and killed his friend - he was no longer Cliff, but just an Evil Spirit!

It selectively devoured the strong, and the people scattered and fled on the lawn, causing a chaotic scene.

"Run!"

"Hold on! We must hold on!"

Andrew was the calmest one, although he was also running for his life, he still remembered to shout a reminder.

But it was useless.

Professor Cliff turning into an Evil Spirit was just the beginning.

Not only did Cliff have loved ones, but the people he killed also had loved ones and friends.

The woman who had been screaming earlier was being dragged away by someone, and as she ran, she couldn't help but cry out.

When she opened her mouth, all that came out was a creepy black mist.

And so, the second Evil Spirit was born.

It let out a ghostly scream and ruthlessly harvested the lives on the lawn.

Soon, a third Evil Spirit appeared in the crowd.

Followed by the fourth, the fifth...

The chain reaction of fear and sorrow spread like a virus throughout the mansion.

The players watched with a chill down their spines, and Ling Mao finally understood the horror of this Weird Rule.

Fortunately, her increasingly rich gaming experience had made her mentality different from before. Ling Mao gritted her teeth, ignored the constantly dying people, took out her giant shield, and stood in front of Gu Chi with her small body.

Gu Chi had no emotional fluctuations, he just took out the epic-level Big Sniper given by Xia Ling, and placed it on Ling Mao's shield. He pulled the trigger with a "click".

"Bang!"

A loud gunshot rang out.

To some extent, the louder the gunshot, the greater the power of the gun.

If this shot hit a player, they would either die or be severely injured.

But when the bullet hit the body of the Evil Spirit, it didn't even cause a bubble to appear. It was like hitting mud, and the wound healed instantly, leaving the Evil Spirit unharmed.

Suddenly, a burst of singing sounded in their ears.

Gu Chi and Ling Mao felt a surge of power in their bodies. They turned their heads and saw the girl with the high ponytail singing.

The other players also launched an attack on the Evil Spirits.

Whether they could defeat them or not, they had to at least give it a try.

Dr. Chen had already finished taking his medicine - he was like a seriously ill patient, grabbing a handful of pills from his backpack, colorful ones, and swallowing them all. After swallowing them, he also drank a tube of "Giant Strength Potion" and charged forward!

So what if it was the Evil Spirit of the Weird Rule?

He was the man who would take Gu Chi to soar!

In the darkness, the flash of knives and the sound of breaking wind continued to ring out.

Dr. Chen, with his sharp reflexes and speed, combined with the enhancement of various small pills, launched a fierce attack on the Evil Spirit, while the black mist controlled by the Evil Spirit always lagged behind him, only hitting his afterimage every time.

He had a significant advantage.

Damn it!

Dr. Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong as he continued to attack.

The Evil Spirit couldn't harm him, and he couldn't harm the Evil Spirit either.

The surgical knife in his hand was also an epic-level weapon, and it had been forged and tempered to have an attack power more than 20% higher than a normal epic-level weapon. But after more than twenty strikes, the Evil Spirit remained unharmed. Instead, the long period of high-speed movement caused his stamina to rapidly decline, and he would soon be unable to jump anymore.

Dr. Chen made up his mind and unleashed his ultimate move.

Tempered Light · Thousand Blades!

"Buzz!"

Dr. Chen's knife tip slashed, creating a large white light. Then the blade spun back, personally shattering the white light into countless fragments of blade light, falling towards the Evil Spirit like a torrential rain.

This skill had extremely high damage, and each blade of light was enough to seriously injure a newbie player. Added together, it could make him die dozens of times. Dr. Chen didn't believe that he couldn't break through the Evil Spirit's defense!

And indeed, he broke through.

Hundreds and thousands of blade lights entered the body of the Evil Spirit, causing it to let out a piercing roar.

Then its body grew slightly larger than before.

Dr. Chen: "?"

What does this mean?

Can the Evil Spirit absorb damage and use it for itself?

What a load of crap!

[Player "Crazy Wrench" has died, mission failed, remaining players: 15]

On the other side, another player had already been killed.The remaining number of players is not right. Gu Chi opened the system announcement and found that two players had quietly died after they fell asleep last night.

After absorbing the damage from the Light Blade, the aura of the Evil Spirit surged.

Dr. Chen's face turned black. He knew that he couldn't handle it alone and was about to ask Gu Chi for help. But when he turned around, he saw that the lawn was full of Evil Spirits, not to mention the twelve on his face!

Dr. Chen: "???"

What's going on?

They couldn't kill even one, and now twelve more appeared?

[Player "Little Happy" died, mission failed, remaining number of players: 14]

Another player was killed by the Evil Spirit.

At this moment, Dr. Chen felt that he had to take Gu Chi and run away - fly far away.

What Dr. Chen didn't know was that this was already a good situation.

They were too focused on fighting the Evil Spirits and didn't notice the gunshots in the manor.

Gu Chi's shot reminded Andrew - they couldn't kill the Evil Spirits, but they could kill the people before they turned into Evil Spirits.

This was an extremely cruel decision. Andrew didn't know if it was right or wrong, but it seemed like they had no other choice now. If they let the Evil Spirits continue to spread, not only would they be in danger, but the entire City of Intrigue would fall.

Andrew closed his eyes in pain and ordered the bodyguards to shoot.

Once someone showed signs of emotional collapse, the Evil Spirits would be killed in their infancy.

They would rather kill the wrong person than let anyone cry out.

The warm dance party had turned into a feast of blood.

There weren't many bodyguards with guns, and the scene was extremely chaotic. It was impossible to take care of everyone. The Evil Spirits continued to be born, but their speed was reduced.

More and more people died, but the number of Evil Spirits was temporarily under control.

Most of the people who survived the disaster had cold and calm expressions, with no ripples in their eyes. Only the corners of their eyes twitched along with their hearts, emitting a silent lament.

They couldn't cry. Even if they watched their loved ones and friends die at the hands of the Evil Spirits, falling in the sound of gunshots and blood, they had to hold back their tears and remain silent.

Tonight, they were all once Le Ge.

"Run!" a player shouted.

Anyone with a little insight could see that Dr. Chen was the strongest among all the players present. If even Dr. Chen couldn't kill the Evil Spirits, what could they do?

There were only six of them left out of the eight, and they were getting weaker as they fought, while the Evil Spirits were getting stronger and more numerous.

Small skills couldn't hurt the Evil Spirits, and their big moves were absorbed. This thing was invincible!

Gu Chi and Ling Mao were also in a somewhat embarrassed state, constantly dodging and fleeing. They couldn't do anything to the Evil Spirits, not even with the Heavenly Demon Soul Refining Banner.

But Gu Chi's face showed no panic. In order to be more agile, he had switched from the Big Sniper to a handgun. While continuously pulling the trigger, his brain quickly turned, searching for a way to kill the Evil Spirits.

Since there were achievements, it meant that the Evil Spirits were not truly invincible.

The Evil Spirits couldn't be killed, they just didn't inflict enough damage.

If the instantaneous damage could exceed the limit that the Evil Spirits could bear, they wouldn't be able to absorb it.

The pure damage words of the 36 Dao Yun might be able to do it, but this wasn't Northern Rivers. Killing one or two Evil Spirits here wouldn't make much of a difference.

Then let's try another way.

Gu Chi's gaze flickered slightly. "Ling Mao."

"Hmm?" The girl at this moment was panting heavily, covered in dirt, with a pretty face stained with mud and sweat. Her exhausted body was sticking to her cheeks, clearly showing signs of fatigue.

The target of the Evil Spirits had always been her. The black mist could absorb a person's vitality, and Ling Mao didn't dare to confront it head-on. She could only crawl and roll on the grass to hide.

"It seems like these Evil Spirits don't have much consciousness."

The Evil Spirits transformed by Professor Cliff didn't prioritize attacking Dr. Chen, who was suspected of killing Anna. Instead, they killed their own friends first. This indicated that Cliff was already completely dead, and the idea of players transforming into Evil Spirits and controlling them had also fallen through. However, there was one advantage to the current situation -

"You should be able to provoke their hatred, right?" Gu Chi asked.

Ling Mao nodded. "Yes."

Mocking skills usually only worked on low-intelligence creatures, and the Evil Spirits that only knew how to kill happened to fit this characteristic.

"Which one should I provoke?" Ling Mao asked.

Gu Chi: "All of them."

Ling Mao: "???"

All of them?!

That would be deadly!

She had just reached level 20 as a little tank!

Ling Mao screamed for help in her heart, but her actions were decisive. Her main focus was being obedient and honest.

Physically honest.

Ling Mao gritted her teeth, straightened her arm, and raised the huge shield in her hand. The bronze shield surface suddenly burst into a dazzling white light, attracting the attention of all thirteen Evil Spirits on the lawn.

The pressure on the others suddenly decreased, and their eyes widened.

The singing of the high ponytail girl stopped.

She looked at Gu Chi and Ling Mao in disbelief.

At this time, using group taunting, were these two crazy?

Dr. Chen, who had just run over: "???"You guys treat this as a small monster grind!

Now it's not good. Not only can't we fly, but our plan to escape is also ruined.

Thirteen evil spirits quickly surrounded them. Wrapped in black mist, they resembled the shadows of death. Their crimson pupils flickered like blood-colored ghost fires, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

We're done for... The six players watched in fear.

Thirteen evil spirits, even Jesus couldn't save us!

Ling Mao was also panicking. These evil spirits were targeting her!

"You can one-shot them... right?" Ling Mao asked fearfully.

Gu Chi looked at the approaching evil spirits and the expressions of the other players, and suddenly thought of a phrase: "View the suspicion of others as flickering ghost fires, boldly walk your own path at night."

Dr. Chen: "Speak in human language!"

Gu Chi: "Run!"

Ling Mao: "???"

Dr. Chen: "???"

"You follow behind." Gu Chi said to Dr. Chen, then grabbed Ling Mao's hand and rushed towards the entrance of the mansion.

Dr. Chen was faster than him and was not the target of the evil spirits, so he didn't need his help.

The converging evil spirits had already launched their attacks. The black mist shot out like thick steel bars.

Gu Chi had already disappeared with Ling Mao.

The black mist pierced through the lawn, causing dirt to fly.

"Teleportation?" Seeing Gu Chi easily break through the encirclement, Dr. Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. With this kind of divine skill, the evil spirits shouldn't be able to kill Gu Chi. But then he felt that something was wrong.

This guy was holding Ling Mao's hand and running, but not holding his hand. What does that mean?

Tui, scumbag!

Dr. Chen cursed as he ran.

With Ling Mao attracting the hatred, the evil spirits didn't pay attention to him. Dr. Chen quickly caught up with the two.

The players looked at each other and followed.

The speed of the evil spirits was not slow, and they could fly without using their feet, ignoring any terrain obstacles.

The strange objects bred by Weird Rules had abnormal attributes. They could easily be considered as boss-level enemies in other instances.

Thus began a journey of escape.

To read the uncut version, go to pawread dot com.

During the journey, Gu Chi deliberately slowed down from time to time, allowing Ling Mao to use her taunting skills to stabilize the hatred of the evil spirits.

Ling Mao was no longer as afraid at this moment.

Holding Ling Mao's hand, her inner panic disappeared. She felt that this wave of hatred was profitable, and she would do it again next time!

The running duo was like a moving flashlight, illuminating one street after another in the night.

But Dr. Chen felt like he was the one carrying the flashlight.

Behind the three of them were the relentless pursuit of the evil spirits.

Behind the evil spirits were the players who were following to see the situation.

There were constant screams along the way. The residents who saw Gu Chi and the others running were puzzled. When they saw the terrifying evil spirits behind them, they were almost scared out of their wits. Many vehicles were forced to swerve and crash into the sidewalks.

There were also brave people joining in the excitement.

The commotion was quite big, attracting the attention of the police, and the alarm started ringing.

The quiet and harmonious night turned into an unusually thrilling and terrifying night.

"What are they trying to do?" The players couldn't understand Gu Chi and the others' actions.

If they wanted to run, they could just run directly. Why bother attracting the hatred?

Whether it was teleportation or acceleration, there would always be a cooldown. Could they keep running forever?

Of course not.

But Gu Chi felt that magic could defeat magic, shadows could defeat shadows, and Weird Rules should be able to kill Weird Rules too.

"Tian Tian, get ready for a big move." Gu Chi had already seen the signboard ahead with the words "Blood Mist Zone".

Dr. Chen: "Your sister! Alright!"

Gu Chi suddenly stopped.

The evil spirits attacked with flying speed, bringing along rolling black mist.

The hearts of the players sank.

Can't run anymore?

Not a chance!

"The next step, fifty meters away."

[Dao Yun - 1]

Ling Mao used her last taunting skill.

Dozens of dense black mist tentacles descended from the sky, causing rocks to fly in all directions.

This time, Gu Chi also grabbed Dr. Chen's wrist and took a step into the Blood Mist Zone.

Just as the evil spirits followed into the Blood Mist Zone, the light blades created by Dr. Chen's surgical knife shattered into countless pieces once again, shooting towards the evil spirits.

The first evil spirit was hit and let out a scream.

"Bang!"

Then it exploded into countless black dots.

Immediately after, the second, the third...

They died the same way they were born.

"Bang bang bang!"

The previously invincible evil spirits were now as fragile as paper, dying as soon as they made a sound.

In the astonished and incredulous gazes of everyone, the thirteen evil spirits released black fireworks one after another, like exploding ink bottles, sprinkling ink all over the sky, falling like black rain.

Even Ling Mao was stunned.

The whole process happened extremely quickly. Some players who hadn't reacted yet now understood—

Using Weird Rules to fight against Weird Rules, so this is how the evil spirits are killed?

They looked at each other, seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.

This man...What a damn good game!

Looking at the black water all over the ground, Dr. Chen also fell into silence.

So, was he the one who was actually carried away?

No, no, no.

It wasn't him, it was Chen Tiantian.

Chen Tiantian was carried away by Gu Chi, what does it have to do with him, Dr. Chen?

This round doesn't count, let's go again next round!

......

4000 words, there will be another 4000 update later!
