Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 229 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment (4)

Logically, since chang (伥) depend on ghosts and monsters for survival, there is no possibility that they should be feared by ghosts and monsters.

Therefore, the only answer is—

"To maintain this situation!" Shi Qi and Zhang Cheng said in unison.

According to information provided by the Special Events Handling Group, each bureau needs a fulcrum to exist.

This fulcrum could be anything; as long as the fulcrum is removed, the situation can be resolved.

The problem is that the fulcrum is different for each bureau, making it difficult to find, which is why so many people have sacrificed their lives.

Judging from the current situation, the key to the scheme set up by the ghosts in Fuyun Apartment is very likely these few accomplices.

“Not only monsters, but also chang (伥) can devour each other. The girl wrote in her notebook that her mother ate her younger brother.”

Qi Hui's mind raced: "This younger brother isn't Xu Zhongtian's child; he's probably a ghost or monster that tricked him from somewhere else."

“Possibly,” Shi Qi continued. “That’s why Mom was punished, because she ate a fulcrum.”

Zhang Cheng looked at Gu Shijiu with great joy: "Now we've found a solution!"

Gu Shijiu, unusually, understood what the other person meant; they were asking her to respond: "Should we just ruin this whole thing?"

Zhang Cheng & Qi Hui: ...Didn't you hear that?

Shi Qi couldn't help but smile: "We'll find that mother, lure her to the girls, and make them kill each other."

If there is only one fulcrum left, then the game will be difficult to maintain, and monsters will inevitably appear during this process.

It can't just stand by and watch its hard work be destroyed; the moment it shows its face, we'll smash its head in.

Gu Shijiu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's pretty much what I meant."

Ten minutes later, in another room.

With a quick twist of her hands, Gu Shijiu snapped the neck of the man in front of her.

The man's body went limp, his eyes rolled back, and he slid to the ground, the veins extending from his palms shrinking as he did so.

Shi Qi and the others behind Gu Shijiu quickly came out to clean up the battlefield.

Now that we know the monster can give Him power, we cannot leave His corpse behind.

The four of them had already wandered into several rooms. Each time they discovered a monster, Gu Shijiu would kill it, while the others would destroy the evidence.

Zhang Cheng took out a strangely shaped lighter and set the monster's clothes on fire.

Soon, a raging fire broke out in the room.

The four turned and quickly walked toward the next room.

Qi Hui held a ball of yarn in her hand, and the end of the yarn seemed to be alive, moving forward on its own on the ground.

This was a special item found in the girl's schoolbag. Gu Shijiu smelled a scent on it that was similar to, yet not exactly the same as, that of the girl.

The yarn was made of a material similar to the girl's sweater, and there were also a few knitting needles placed together.

Shi Qi guessed that it might be leftovers from when her mother knitted a sweater for her daughter.

The group had no better choice but to follow the yarn.

Otherwise, if he keeps moving around in these rooms and runs around like a headless fly, he doesn't know when he'll bump into his locked-up mother.

Gu Shijiu originally intended to go back and have a good talk with the girl, and also find out where her mother was.

However, they had already opened several doors and couldn't find their way back at all, so they had no choice but to try anything as a last resort.

It was only then that Zhang Cheng and Qi Hui realized that Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi, who looked like ordinary people, were actually excessively powerful.

Especially Gu Shijiu, with Qi sometimes watching over her, she didn't need to worry about what was behind her, and she would just beat up any monster she caught.

Ordinary monsters wouldn't last more than three seconds in her hands, and monsters that even a power user like Zhang Cheng would have to exert a lot of effort to eliminate, and might even get injured in the process, wouldn't last more than three minutes either.

Shi Qi may have just been standing to the side, but he blocked all the monsters' sneak attacks and even managed to guide Gu Shijiu to attack.

Is this really a newbie in the group?

Zhang Cheng became increasingly envious, especially of Gu Shijiu. If such a talent were recruited into the group, wouldn't they be invincible in the future?

only--

"Gu Nian, who exactly are you?"

After yet another battle, Zhang Cheng asked seemingly casually while burning the corpses.

But Gu Shijiu wasn't fooled at all: "A rich girl who came to experience a haunted house."

She read the character descriptions from the script in a very serious manner.

It sounded like they were talking about someone else, and Zhang Cheng felt something was off.

But there's no time to discuss that now, because the yarn on the ground suddenly started shaking wildly.

In the new room, a monster had no time to pretend to be human and lure Gu Shijiu and the others.

It stared wide-eyed, opened its mouth, and let out a piercing scream: "Ah!! Ah—"

It was like a dying beast.

The previously harmonious atmosphere was instantly shattered by the eerie screams.

Gu Shijiu looked at the tightly closed door next to her and suddenly had a premonition: "There's something behind that door!"

Without thinking, she spoke, her gaze fixed on the closed door opposite her, before reaching out to turn the doorknob.

Two clicks were heard, but it didn't turn.

Shi Qi stopped Gu Shijiu, who was about to kick down the door, and told her to look at Zhang Cheng and Qi Hui.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng felt an indescribable aura pressing down on him like an overwhelming tidal wave.

Whether it's Xu Zhongtian or his daughter, they both have to kneel before this imposing aura.

Qi Hui's temples were throbbing, and a sharp pain shot through her head.

Her steps were heavy, and she felt an urge to run back. If Shi Qi hadn't stopped her, she would have almost closed the door behind her.

Once the door is closed, she'll be facing the monster alone.

In her current state, she is completely at the mercy of others.

Zhang Cheng is about the same as her.

The oppressive feeling grew stronger, and a piercing sound seemed to reach my ears, like claws scraping against a wall.

A moment later, the voices in my mind multiplied, as if countless people were speaking.

The buzzing sound grew louder, the walls in sight seemed to be bending, and the whole room was shaking.

Just then, the feeling of being locked on by a wild beast grew stronger, and something big grabbed his shoulder from behind;

The stench seemed to have reached their noses; the monster opened its massive jaws, about to bite off Zhang Cheng's head...

"Team Leader Zhang, Team Leader Zhang!"

"Zhang Cheng!"

"Zhang Cheng—"

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and everything before him returned to normal.

Gu Shijiu, Shi Qi, and Qi Hui—a total of six eyes—stared at him: "What happened to you just now?"

Zhang Cheng's chest heaved violently, and he was drenched in sweat, but he eventually came to his senses and realized that everything he had just experienced was an illusion.

Qi Hui woke up a few moments earlier than him and is now also feeling a bit scared.

A sharp pain shot through Zhang Cheng's wrist. He looked down at the severed artery, blood dripping from his palm onto the ground.

"Can monsters attack from a distance?" Qi Hui looked at her hand; the same spot, the same wound.

"Oh, since I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did, I drew a line on your skin," Gu Shijiu confessed honestly.

!! Is it for cutting an artery?

Zhang Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief. If they weren't all ability users, they would have been dead in a place like this...

It's alright, it's alright, at least I'm still alive, haha.

Qi Hui released a burst of energy onto her wrist, and the wound that had been bleeding gradually healed.

Gu Shijiu was still struggling with the door that wouldn't open: "What's going on?"

Shi Qi's heart skipped a beat: "Perhaps that's Mom inside. Wasn't she locked up by ghosts for being disobedient?"

"Didn't you just say you wanted her and the little girl to fight like dogs?" Gu Shijiu rubbed his hands together, "Then I'm going to force the door open."

However, at that moment, a chilling force appeared behind another door.

At the same time, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly.

Shi Qi suddenly remembered the little girl's diary: "I want to go find my mother, but it's too cold outside, I can't go out."

Everyone sensed that power and became alert.

Gu Shijiu stopped trying to pry open the door and turned to look at the other door behind her.

Shi Qi said in a low voice, "It seems that the ghost has appeared."

Qi Hui clutched the ball of yarn in her hand as if it were her last lifeline. "What do we do now? The plan hasn't even been implemented yet."

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath. "Let's ignore that mother for now and deal with this first."

The biting cold enveloped the entire room. Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi felt they could still bear it for the time being, but Zhang Cheng and Qi Hui's skin was instantly covered with frost, and they lost their ability to move after just one glance.

Just then, wisps of black mist seeped out from the crack in the door;

The fog spread across the ground, gradually coalescing into a blurry human-shaped outline.

Gu Shijiu suddenly flung open the door: "Take these two away first, I'll hold it off."

These words were spoken to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi froze on the spot, while Gu Shijiu turned her head and said, "Trust me."

"Then be careful." Without further hesitation, Shi Qi picked up the frozen Zhang Cheng and Qi Hui and left through the door from which the black mist had come.
