Chapter 7: 7. Even without the head, she is still a beauty.
"Hey, ghost, please come out and open the door."
Although no one said this, it was the common sentiment among the Players present.
The veteran Players at the scene weren’t all those who had completed the special promotion ceremony of Class B big Players, but all had experienced several bizarre games and were at least Class D veterans.
However, with their combined past experiences and what they had learned from higher-ranked Players, they had never encountered the current situation.
The bizarre game instance had started, but they couldn’t get in?
Then why were they brought here to participate in this bizarre game?
If it was just for them to watch, they could have watched from outside the game!
Player after player, they stared at each other, baffled and confused.
"Could it be that some mishap has occurred in this endless dormitory building?" a veteran Player couldn’t help but say with a face full of horror.
"Do you mean the special promotion ceremony?" Another Class B big Player’s face also changed.
In the strange games, there were two situations that were particularly troublesome, and one of them was that some Class D Players needed to upgrade, but there were no suitable instances in the strange game, so to let that batch of Class D Players advance, they would start to actively create a suitable instance.

And typically, the creation of such instances requires a large number of sacrifices.
"What, an instance for a promotion ceremony?"
At this comment, the veteran Players present became restless. Not just the Class D Players whose expressions turned ugly, the Class B big Players were no better.
Though they had passed the promotion ceremony, it didn’t mean they had the strength to contend with this kind of instance.
Meanwhile, as the Players speculated nervously, inside this dorm building, Tan Shuchang finally sensed that the ghost was about to appear.
This was a six-story dormitory building.
Having only six floors, there was no elevator. As the hour hand and minute hand of a clock aligned to form a straight line, what was originally dusky surroundings instantly became pitch-dark to the point one couldn’t see their own hand.
At least that was the change inside this dorm building; outside, there was no change in the sky at all. Those Players who couldn’t enter because someone had locked the doors and windows and sealed off the floors had no perception of this, and in their cognition, only about ten minutes had passed.
At that moment, in the pitch darkness, on the wall of the third floor of this dorm building, which had some tawny bizarre marks, suddenly exploded a pool of murky liquid, resembling blood mixed with something else.
Then, from this pool of liquid, a pair of pale hands full of various filthy marks stretched out!
Following that, a silhouette of a woman with a sexy figure and long legs emerged from the pool of murky liquid. This woman had short hair and was standing still with her head lowered and hands slightly drooping. After a while, as a gust of chilling wind blew by, the woman began to move.
She first let out a shrill wail, a ghostly sound that could pierce the brain. Players with too low resistance to malice and pollution would die from hemorrage through their seven orifices due to this wail.
However, few Players died from this ghost woman’s first shrill wail.
Because this was a customary howl, merely informing the Players inside the instance that the ghost had appeared and whether they could survive or not depended on their own caution and vigilance.
This endless dormitory game instance was a rule-based slaughtering instance.
This meant that the malevolent ghost inside the dormitory building would continually kill Players, but this ghost did not kill at random, as it was bound by rules.
As long as Players could figure out the rules, even standing in front of this ghost, the ghost would not make a move.
However, the reason this dormitory instance had "endless" in its name was not because the space inside the building was infinite, but because the ghost’s rules were constantly changing.
This was the fundamental cause behind Players frequently getting wiped out in the past.
After the female ghost had finished screaming, she began her next step, searching for a lucky individual to slaughter. But she had just made a move when she stopped.
Because she saw a blurry figure appear before her.
Yes, blurry.
It was a puddle-formed creature resembling flowing blood.
At this, the blurry figure sighed upon seeing that the female ghost showed no other reaction, "I said to myself, how could I possibly have a half-sister here?"
The blurry figure instantly became clear, and the traces of flowing blood also completely disappeared, as if it had all been an illusion.
"Miss, Tan Shuchang, a scholar from a family of learned individuals, once acclaimed by the golden list, was stripped of his title for beating up three Princes. Originally from Benjingzhou, now relocated to Yuezhou, may I ask if the lady would accompany me there to settle down?" Tan Shuchang extended an invitation.
He sized up the female ghost and realized that, sans her head, she could indeed be considered a ravishing beauty.
But whether it was Tan Shuchang’s gaze that provoked the female ghost, or if it was the start of her second step, she responded to Tan Shuchang by suddenly lunging to kill.
The malice of the ghost crashed onto Tan Shuchang like a tide. A normal newcomer Player would have died from mental exhaustion by this point due to the malicious invasion.
But for Tan Shuchang, this was naturally as mild as a breeze brushing his face
His resistance to evil, pollution, supernatural, and destruction all reached an A-one rating; in this eerie game, he was fiercer than most ghosts.
"Since that is the case, then please forgive my rudeness, Miss." Tan Shuchang reached out and grabbed the female ghost’s neck, holding her suspended in midair, then folded her repeatedly until he could tuck her into his sleeve.
In that instant, Tan Shuchang’s figure disappeared from this endless dormitory instance.
Meanwhile, as the group of veteran Players staying outside the dormitory building felt no change in time and were still bewildered by various speculations, blood-red text suddenly appeared in the sky.
[Game Over.]
[Detection of ghost disappearance, the endless dormitory instance will be permanently closed until a new ghost resides. Players, please note, exiting may cause adverse effects; drinking plenty of warm water may help recovery.]
This prompt was, as always, considerate, while the reaction of these veteran Players was a mix of slight relief but mostly confusion and puzzlement.
"How did it suddenly end?"
"Wait a second, the ghost disappeared!"
"How could the ghost just disappear?"
"Ghosts disappearing is possible; I just heard about it, happening recently in a newcomer instance."
