Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 122: How dare that scoundrel Zhang Ze lie to me!

After discussing it with Yang Jian, Yang Jian was in no hurry to take action. After all, Zhang Ze said that a helper would come later, and Yang Jian was not like Jia Hao who insisted on being a hero.

Isn't it better to just wait patiently for help?

So the two reached a strange agreement, allowing the headless ghost to continue posing as a normal person and wandering around the mall.

Zhang Ze, on the other hand, went to the mall to take photos and videos of various places.

Calling it a check-in isn't entirely accurate.

Zhang Ze is measuring various attributes of Furen Shopping Mall.

For example, Zhang Ze tried every means to open the main entrance, the back door, and all the glass windows, including but not limited to smashing them with a fire extinguisher, chopping them with a fire axe, and even finding a rusty iron hammer in the mall's storage room and smashing it against the glass.

The result was a huge surprise to Zhang Ze.

The glass is like it's been plated with steel; I can't break it no matter what I do.

All attempts failed.

"From this perspective, the locations where nightmares come true are all limited, just like the Death Center map in Left 4 Dead. If you go outside the map, you will be blocked by an invisible wall."

"After all, it's just a dream; it's impossible for them to create an infinitely large open world for me."

Zhang Ze was very satisfied with the result.

On the way back.

Zhang Ze also paid special attention to other restrooms, especially the women's restroom.

In the original novel, Jiang Yan was refreshed in the toilet.

But he couldn't find Jiang Yan.

Not knowing if the time was not right yet, Zhang Ze didn't think too much about it and continued to try other special properties.

A brick was thrown from the fifth floor to the first floor.

Calculate the falling time by listening to the sound.

The laws of physics are the same as those of reality.

They found some instant noodles that hadn't expired from several closed shops, took them back to the security room, cooked them, and even added a sausage that Jiang Yan loved. As a result, they didn't get diarrhea.

This indicates that the items inside the "Dream Come True" exhibit are also normal.

Zhang Ze quickly figured out several characteristics.

First, the world where dreams come true is real, not fictional. Although it is essentially a dream, everything in the dream is exactly the same as in reality.

Secondly, the locations where the nightmares come true are limited, and one cannot escape the restricted area. For example, this time the location is the mysteriously revived Furen Shopping Mall, and any attempt to leave Furen Shopping Mall is futile.

Third, within the dream come true, Zhang Ze cannot use any supernatural abilities in reality. He cannot use Lingling, Sadako, or Qiu Mei's right eye, because he is an ordinary person.

"It's like playing a roguelike game where each level refreshes randomly, and you gain permanent buffs from within the levels?"

"Interesting, this is a completely new way to play the system!"

Zhang Zexin was overjoyed.

He was worried because, relying solely on the system, his speed in unlocking supernatural realms was comparable to Chen Ge's, but his own improvement was too slow, unlike Chen Ge who had already built his own team.

It now has the ability to make nightmares come true.

Zhang Ze can receive all sorts of rewards, making him just as good as Chen Ge.

That's what Zhang Ze was thinking.

The side door of the Furen Department Store, which had been welded shut, suddenly opened.

There was a fat, middle-aged man leading a Taoist priest with a strange face, chanting incantations and holding a compass and a peach wood sword, things that Zhang Ze couldn't understand.

"Master Luo, Master Luo, I'm begging you for help."

"My shopping mall has been haunted for a long time. People go missing every few days, and merchants keep complaining that their security cameras break down at night, and when they see blurry, dark figures in the footage, they all run away in fright..."

The fat, middle-aged man was Boss Tang, the owner of Furen Department Store.

Master Luo is nothing but a complete charlatan.

Zhang Ze remembered these two people.

The arrival of these two people signifies that the plot has reached a crucial juncture, with Gui Xue Yan Li about to emerge and cooperate with Yang Jian to imprison the headless ghost shadow.

"What are you looking at?"

"Go and guard the door quickly, don't get in Master Luo's way!"

Boss Tang glanced at Zhang Ze, completely disregarding him, and casually shooed him away.

Zhang Ze was too lazy to argue.

Back in the security room.

Yang Jian saw Master Luo arrive at this moment. In fact, he had received a notification from the group that Master Luo was coming. Yang Jian was quite disdainful of this kind of pretentious guy.

"That's about enough, you can go now."

"Once that shaman raises the price a bit, and then you see the ghost, you jump out and tell them the rules of murder, rescue them, and you'll make money," Zhang Ze said. "Then, work with Yan Li to imprison the headless ghost and hand it over to me."

"clear."

Yang Jian made an OK sign.

Boss Tang led Master Luo around the mall several times, especially to the places where Zhang Ze had done the tests. The more they looked, the more serious Master Luo's face became, making Boss Tang tremble with fear.

"Mr. Tang, your mall should have no customers after closing down. Have you considered why there are broken tiles on the floor? Why are there signs of damage on the glass and doors?"

Mr. Tang panicked immediately. "I don't know! Master Luo, please help me! I'll pay any price!"

Master Luo then gave a confident smile, "That makes things easier."

"It's actually very simple. As long as I take action, everything will be resolved. There's a vengeful spirit that died with resentment lingering in this mall. In addition, the feng shui is bad, and the vengeful spirit has been entrenched for a long time, accumulating yin energy, which naturally causes it to harm living beings repeatedly. In the end, it's just that Boss Tang reacted too slowly."

"But it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. If I can't solve this, how can I continue to work in this industry? Here's what we'll do: listen to me, first seal off the main entrance, then open a new entrance on the south side as the main entrance, and leave the parking lot on the right unchanged..."

Master Luo has started to act like a charlatan.

Even in Zhang Ze's eyes, this explanation was complete nonsense. He thought that one would only encounter such a ghost if they traveled to some traditional supernatural world.

When Yang Jian arrived and heard the story, he was immediately speechless.

Could this be the helper Zhang Ze mentioned?

If this kind of person were placed in Dachang City, he probably wouldn't last a second against that old man who loves to knock on doors.

So, Zhang Ze, who was sitting in the security room with his legs crossed, waiting for Yang Jian's good news, received an angry question from Yang Jian on his phone.

"Is this the kind of helper you're talking about?!"

"Damn it, even if I asked him to be my suicide squad to test killing patterns, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Asking him to help me? Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Ze was taken aback.

"That shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't some self-proclaimed Ghost Blood Master, a Ghost Controller, suddenly appear, demand five million, and then demonstrate how Ghost Blood can subdue a headless ghost?"

"What is all this nonsense? That old swindler Luo is almost done swindling the money, where is Yan Li you mentioned?"

"Zhang Ze, you bastard, how dare you lie to me!"

Zhang Ze: ? ? ?

Looking at the surveillance footage again, wow, Gui Xue Yan Li, who was supposed to be on the scene, was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Ze quickly checked the surveillance cameras from other angles.

I looked at every floor from the first to the fifth floor.

As a result, Yan Li could not be found at all.

Combined with the fact that Zhang Ze couldn't find Jiang Yan, who was supposed to be in the restroom, an unbelievable thought popped into Zhang Ze's mind...

It seems like you can't skip class in this instance.

He has to do it himself.
