This is not a weird story

When he saw the familiar outline of the ancient house again, Wei An felt something strange.

He stood in front of the door for a moment and found that there was no movement inside.

I still remember the first time, when I was chased by the murderer from 309 Bedroom Ghost Story, I ran here in a panic, and soon a woman started to open the door and kept calling me "Wei Lang".

If Wei An hadn't killed the murderer and escaped quickly, he might have turned into that "Wei Lang".

He glanced down and found that there were still traces of where the body of the man who had been chasing him lay. A faint trace of blood had soaked the ground, but the body had long since disappeared.

After waiting for a while and confirming that the woman in the ancient house might not show up on her own initiative, Wei An was ready to go in directly from the gate to investigate.

Because his "Association Tracking" has received slight feedback, indicating that there is a high probability that there is a guard suit of his own in this ancient house, or items such as cursed pokers.

Just as I took a step forward, a text prompt appeared in my mind.

[It is detected that the host enters the current ghost story as a "non-participant". Is it embedded in the current ghost story plot? 】

This time Wei An didn't hesitate and immediately spent 50 energy points to choose to embed in the plot.

Since I am looking for a suit here, being sneaky is definitely not better than having a formal identity to cover up. Moreover, being sneaky can easily be discovered by the rules above Kaitan, so naturally the identity of "participant" is more suitable for the implementation of my plan.

Not long after, after Wei An stepped up the three steps in front of the gate, his identity had been naturally recognized by the ghost talk due to the stimulation of "embedded plot", and a string of text prompts from the ghost talk appeared in front of his eyes.

[Welcome, participant, you have entered the strange story - the sorrow of the ancient house! 】

[Strange Stories: The Sorrow of the Ancient House]

[Grade: C]

[Type: Multiplayer (selected)]

[Event description: The mansion in front of you used to belong to the Wang family, but now it has changed its banner and been replaced by the Ao family. In order to help her sweetheart Wang Kui take the exam, Guiying, the current owner of the mansion, gave all she had to help Wang Kui take the exam. However, Wang Kui fell in love with her after he won the top prize in high school and fell in love with her and married the prime minister's daughter. Guiying was so distraught that she hanged herself and turned into a ghost to claim Wang Kui's life. Afterwards, Guiying's resentful spirit echoed in the ancient house all the time, seeking the lives of unclean people. 】

[Main mission: 1. Survive in the ancient house for three days; 2. Do not look directly at Guiying's resentful spirit, otherwise you will fail immediately; 3. After three days, you can find the exit before you can escape successfully. 】

[Main mission reward: 500 energy points]

[Hidden tasks: Yes]

After reading all the text prompts of the ghost story, Wei An knew that most of the suits he needed were also in this ancient house, so without thinking too much, he stretched out his hand and pushed the side of the dark door. With a creak, the door opened inside.

I could clearly see the scenery inside the door, but still no one showed up, let alone the weird woman from last time.

And the woman at the beginning should be the resentful soul of Guiying mentioned in the plot, otherwise the other party would not know to call her "Wei Lang" before seeing her. This obviously requires a very high level of weirdness to do this.

This type of ghost story is selected by multiple people. It is the same as the C-level ghost story "Bloodthirsty Butcher" that Wei An completed before. It exudes the atmosphere of ghost story rules in advance, locks the established participants in the human world, and then at the same time Incorporate it into the ghost story to participate in the mission.

And now Wei An has a little more understanding. These ghost story rules are not all completely original ghost story plots. Many of them are based on a certain murder case or a certain story.

It just tends to alienate the original plot of the story, or make the characters weird.

This not only makes it easier for Kaitan to survive better, but also makes it easier for them to evolve stably.

"Since it's three days of survival, these three days must not be easy." Wei An thought to himself.

He quickly walked into the ancient house and looked up. There was a front yard, separated from the lobby by a slate screen. There was a large water tank in front of the screen. There was still water in the tank, but because of time, the water had turned green. , and exudes an unpleasant smell.

A lot of moss has grown in the gaps between the stone bricks in the front yard, and it's easy to slip if you don't pay attention when walking by.

Wei An carefully walked behind the screen and saw that the lobby in front of him was in ruins, with spider webs hanging above it. The furniture in the hall was either missing chair legs or the table tops were cracked and covered with a thick layer of dust.

In the lobby, there was only one person near the door who was clean and not stained by any dust. That person had his back to Wei An and faced the dark lobby.

This person is a boy, no taller than Wei An's chest, with two braids tied on his head. Although the clothes he wears are very clean, they are extremely bright and colorful. It feels completely inconsistent with the environment here, and the clothes are very clean. The texture seemed rough, like paper.

Hearing Wei An's footsteps, the boy turned around with a stiff expression on his face, but with a smile.

He also applied round blush on both sides of his cheeks, a red mole on his forehead, and his lips were also painted with vermilion. One stroke on his upper lip and two strokes on his lower lip, making the whole mouth look much smaller. .

This makeup, paired with his outfit, makes him look weird.

Wei An was slightly startled, but he had already been alert in his heart and knew that this boy could not be the resentful spirit of Gui Ying, so he chose to look directly at him.

The boy grinned and looked even more terrifying. As soon as he opened his mouth, he made a sharp and long sound, which sounded extremely unpleasant.

"Excuse me, are you here to stay overnight?"

Wei An nodded immediately and said nothing.

The boy continued: "My master said that you should be kind to guests who need to stay overnight. Please come with me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the lobby without waiting for Wei An to speak.

Vian hesitated for a moment, and then followed the boy. When he lowered his head, he saw that the boy's heels could not touch the ground when he walked, and he only walked on his toes. His body was extremely light, but it looked even weirder.

The two walked through the lobby one after another, came to the back corridor, and continued along the corridor.

The wooden railings on both sides of the corridor look much cleaner. It seems that only the lobby has not been cleaned for a long time.

Not far after walking out, a plaintive singing sound suddenly appeared. The voice was thin and soft, as if it had condensed into a solid thread, ignoring any obstruction, and penetrated into Wei An's ears.

"People in the world...are all unlucky and ruthless...too miserable, and all sentient beings...are evil..."

This opera-like singing style is different from the singing style of the Nayizhuang singers that Wei An heard last time, but he has done little research on this and does not know which sect or school it belongs to.

Just listening to it, goosebumps appeared all over my body. At the same time, I felt that with the singing voice, strands of cold air penetrated into the body uncontrollably, and all the internal organs were chilled.

"Guests don't need to worry about it." The boy walking in front explained in a high-pitched voice without turning his head, "This is my mistress singing. This is her usual hobby."

Wei An just nodded without saying a word, not caring whether the boy in front of him could see his body language.

However, Wei An suspected that the singer was the resentful spirit of Gui Ying.

The strange woman was still singing, and her voice was high-pitched, low, and erratic. It was not until the two of them passed through the corridor and the desolate back garden and came to one of the side courtyards in the backyard that they finally stopped hearing it.
