Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

Even though the situation had developed to this point, Xu Tong didn't feel too panicked.

After all, when he sent the email, the result of his divination was extremely ominous.

But after this divination, the answer he received was only slightly ominous.

This meant that although the scene before him was even more terrifying than the 'double ghosts opening the door' situation just now, the actual danger wasn't as severe as when the ghost shadow and the headless ghost attacked him.

"It's at least a little bit of psychological comfort."

Xu Tong glanced at the somewhat heavy package in his hand, crossed the road, and arrived on the street.

The distance between each hanging rope on the street wasn't far, and Xu Tong had to be very careful to pay attention to his surroundings, otherwise he would easily touch the hanging ropes.

Lying down wouldn't help either; the horizontal height of these hanging ropes maintained a relatively stable distance from Xu Tong's head.

That is to say, even if Xu Tong lay on the ground, these hanging ropes would fall towards the ground, maintaining the same horizontal height as Xu Tong's head.

Crawling would only make it easier to touch the hanging ropes in the sky.

There weren't any major problems along the way, and Xu Tong didn't encounter any more danger. He arrived at the next package delivery location in no time.

The garden gate was still open. Xu Tong crossed the garden and arrived in front of the building, reaching out to press the doorbell.

Ding-dong——

The doorbell rang, but there was no movement from behind the door.

"Great!" Xu Tong grinned. "It looks like I just need to leave the package at the door this time. This is really a big help..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a "creak," and the door in front of Xu Tong slowly opened.

Xu Tong: "What the hell."

This time, there was basically no major movement from behind the door.

There wasn't even a trace of blood or the stench of corpses in the building, which was in stark contrast to the previous two buildings.

But the more obvious the contrast, the more Xu Tong felt the danger it contained.

The building where the headless ghost was located was the only building in the entire block that wasn't closed.

And the danger within, naturally, didn't need to be said. The head of Xu Tong's shadow had already been sacrificed.

Now that another existence different from the other buildings had appeared, Xu Tong would definitely be more vigilant.

This time, there was no one in the living room of the building.

Xu Tong's eyebrows twitched. He couldn't even find the characteristics of the owner, let alone sign for the package on their behalf.

Arriving at the staircase, the passage to the second floor was blocked, looking like a gate used to prevent pets or babies from going upstairs. Without a key, it was impossible to open this gate by external force.

Xu Tong even threw a bow stance punch, but it still had no effect. The gate didn't budge.

But there was still good news.

「Bow Stance Punch Lv0 has been upgraded to Bow Stance Punch Lv1」

The level of this skill had been raised from the initial level zero to level one. Xu Tong could clearly feel the change in power. If a level zero bow stance punch could break through a wooden board, then a level one bow stance punch could already break through a steel plate!

From level zero to level one, there was such an improvement. Xu Tong couldn't believe what the power would be like if he upgraded to level ten.

The passage to the second floor was blocked, so the only passage in front of Xu Tong was one.

"Can only go to the basement?"

His eyebrows twitched. Xu Tong had no other choice but to walk down the stairs.

The entire building was quiet, as if no one lived there at all. This was very different from the previous buildings.

Every building that Xu Tong had passed through before had a ghost living in it, except for the previous building where the headless ghost was taken away by the ghost shadow, including Qingcheng Pharmacy, they were all like that.

Either the ghost in this building was also taken away by the ghost shadow, or the ghost in this building was in the basement!

Creak——Creak——

The wooden stairs under his feet made sharp, ear-piercing sounds as Xu Tong's weight was applied. The air, apart from being a little turbid, didn't have any particularly strange smell. The only problem was that the basement was pitch black, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

Xu Tong's palm groped on the wall, and he quickly found something that looked like a light switch.

Click——

The switch was pressed, and a faint light lit up on the ceiling of the basement, providing a weak light source.

Buzzing——

The buzzing of the current echoed in this narrow and cramped space. Xu Tong stared ahead.

The basement was empty, without any accumulated debris, furniture, or anything else.

Only, there was only one thing like a tree stump, or rather... an altar, standing here.

And on the altar, a child was enshrined, not very old, probably only a few months old. He didn't even have a blanket to cover him, and was exposed naked to the light of the electric lamp.

This baby has no shadow.

Xu Tong could guess that the ghost shadow that attacked him at the door of the headless ghost's house must have been the shadow on this baby.

It's just that for some reason, this baby had already died, and his shadow had turned into a ghost, wandering back and forth in this neighborhood.

Xu Tong tilted his head, but on the ground next to the altar, he saw something like a printed poster.

Reaching out and picking it up, Xu Tong briefly glanced at the contents.

There was a lot of useless information inside, but there was still a line of text that was useful to Xu Tong.

"A Simple Baptism Tutorial for Everyone: Teaches you how to baptize your child at home and gain the attention of the 'Anointed' Adults."

Xu Tong stared at this line of words for a long time, rubbing his eyes.

"What is this saying? How can these words be combined into a sentence?"

Xu Tong was a little speechless, which meant that this child died during the "baptism" process, so he became a ghost?

Who on earth taught the parents in this family to baptize their child at home? Couldn't you honestly find a church and let a professional priest handle it?

So you really do it yourself to have enough to eat and wear?

Child: Having you as my parents is truly the worst luck imaginable.

Crumpling the promotional poster in his hand into a ball and throwing it towards the corner of the basement, Xu Tong looked around the child for information about the consignee's name.

Soon, Xu Tong stopped.

Not because he found it.

But because Xu Tong discovered a problem.

In the empty basement.

There was someone standing behind him.
