Chapter 25: The power of sound

Dusk, the tube-shaped building!

As a flash of white light passed, ten people appeared inside the tube-shaped building.

The gloomy dark clouds outside the window blocked the last light of the setting sun. The sky was filled with a layer of clouds dyed like blood, exuding an eerie red color.

Inside the tube-shaped building, the faces of the young boys and girls were pale, their eyes filled with fear and tension.

"Li... Li Yong... I... I'm so scared!" A young girl held her boyfriend's hand nervously, her voice trembling from excessive fear.

"Oh, a couple among the newcomers this time, you're pretty lucky!"

Not everyone among the ten was terrified, three of them didn't show much fear on their faces.

Among them, a man and a woman looked calm, as if they had prepared for this long ago.

The last one had a confident look on his face, and he was the one who was speaking.

His gaze swept over everyone present, finally falling on the calm man and woman, and he smiled slightly,

"A veteran? Quite fortunate, let me introduce myself, I'm Cain! A senior of the ghost level!"

"Ghost level?" The man who was also a veteran's eyes widened dramatically, excitedly saying,

"Big brother, you're actually the legendary ghost level, which requires a hundred points of ghost power! I didn't expect to meet such an expert like you this time, it seems we're safe now!"

It's nothing, just luck! The last instance was Bloody Moon High School. I achieved an A-level rating at the end, and was lucky enough to be rewarded with a ghost item that can increase ghost power!"

Cain waved his hand casually, as if talking about an insignificant little thing, showing his masterly demeanor, which immediately caused a wave of exclamations.

"Cain! I've heard of you. It's said that after the Bloody Moon instance, you were directly recruited by the Divine Tree Sect! Boss, you're too amazing! My name is Chuanzi, can I follow you in this instance?" The female veteran, Chuanzi, spoke in admiration and excitement.

"Yeah, big brother, my name is Robert. I've participated in two instances. Can I follow you as well?"

A touch of pride flashed in Cain's eyes, he smiled and said, "Of course, we're all chosen ones. It's only right to help each other."

"You... you're not scared?" The remaining seven newcomers looked at each other, and in the end, the man in the couple asked cautiously.

"Scared?"

The three veterans looked at each other and all laughed. Robert confidently said,

"Do you know why you're considered lucky? This tube-shaped building instance is a large-scale survival mode. A female ghost will come out to kill people at night. Although it's equally dangerous, the plot is simple, and it's not like other instances where you can be scared to death just by being frightened! Moreover..."

Robert paused, glanced at Cain, and said,

"We have such an expert like big brother here! We should easily pass this, right?"

"Of course!" Cain nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This instance is simple, not scary at all! Just one ghost, with mediocre power! At least two or three out of the ten who come in can survive, and often there are more! That ghost is at most on the same level as me, a ghost level. When I joined the Divine Tree Sect, I got a ghost-level chopper. If she dares to come, I'll chop her head off!"

Cain's confidence instantly infected everyone, and the man in the couple couldn't help but compliment,

"It's worthy of being an A-level rated expert. Seeing how strong you are, I'm not scared anymore, in fact, I kind of want to laugh! The ghost in this instance is too pitiful to meet you, big brother!"

"Yeah! Just one ghost, all alone, and it's going to be beheaded, how pitiful!"

"Haha, it seems we're going to win without lifting a finger!"

...

At the end of the hallway, a man and a woman were quietly watching this group of people from a dark corner, curiously, they seemed oblivious to it.

These two people were naturally Alexander and Su Rong.

As a ghost of the Ferocious level, using illusions to affect others and make people unable to detect them is a basic operation.

However, Su Rong was currently full of anger, and there was already a faint aura of ghost energy around her:

"I'm going to kill this guy!"

"Hold on!" Alexander reached out and stopped Su Rong, looking at Cain who was being adored by everyone in the distance, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"These are all ghost coins! It would be a shame to kill them! You create illusions for them as I instructed. The real show has just begun!"

...

As Alexander's words fell, the ten chosen ones simultaneously received a message in their minds:

"The instance has officially begun! This is a staged instance. Please complete the tasks as required and leave after completing all tasks!"

"First stage task released: Please pair up and choose a room to enter. The evil ghost will then choose a room to enter. Completion reward: 10 ghost coins."

Upon receiving the information, everyone was a bit stunned, and Robert even exclaimed:

"Why isn't it a survival mode? And there are stage tasks?"

"Don't panic!" Cain frowned slightly, then relaxed, saying lightly:

"One ghost in the instance, can scare you guys like this! There is no horror instance where people don't die. Anyway, this instance is not scary at all, even dying is better than being in the Ghostly Restaurant! You think instance tasks are so easy to trigger, maybe we're in for a blessing in disguise this time! Don't worry, as long as that ghost encounters me, I will definitely kill it the first chance I get!"

Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief. After some scrambling, the veteran woman Chuanzi successfully teamed up with Cain, picked a room and went in.

Although the others were a bit panicked, the task was there, so they paired up and chose rooms to enter.

"Li... Li Yong, we... we won't be the first to encounter the ghost, right?"

In the couple's room, the girl was obviously a bit scared, tightly gripping Li Yong's arm.

"Don't worry!" Li Yong squeezed out a smile, and said, "There are five rooms in total, it can't be that coincidental! Besides, I secretly checked, our room is the furthest from the stairway entrance!"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Creak... Squeak...

Just then, the sound of a decaying wooden door creaking abruptly echoed, accompanied by an eerie gust of wind.

"Ah!"

The girl instantly let out a piercing scream, and Li Yong's face also turned pale with fright.

"Brother, did you hear that! Did you hear that!"

The girl clung tightly to Li Yong's arm, her fingernails almost embedded in his flesh.

Li Yong, however, seemed not to notice, his gaze fixed on the door, his face deathly pale.

Creak... Squeak...

Creak... Squeak...

One after another, the eerie noises like those from a midnight bell rang out, accompanied by the screams from next door, making one's skin crawl.

"Fear value successfully gathered, Ghost Coin +1"

"Ghost Coin +1"

"Ghost Coin +1"

...

In the hallway, message after message appeared, completely bewildering Su Rong.

Why was it that when she killed people with a ferocious appearance before, she could only gather a few or a dozen ghost coins, yet Alexander just creaked a door, and gathered seven or eight?

Are these people really afraid of the sound of a door opening?

"You know nothing about the power of sound!" Alexander said with a faint smile, "As a horror movie, this is just a trailer! What's coming next is the main feature!"
