Chapter 1 "Play with Me!"

"Play with me!"

The little girl called out, hugging her ball.

Play your ball. I hate those damn kids.

Li Ang’s face was gloomy. Without a word, he took a steel rod as thick as a bowl from his backpack and planted it rather menacingly on the ground.

"Wait, don't do anything yet." Chai Cuicao suddenly said softly inside him, "Her state... is very strange."

Huh?

Li Ang gripped the steel rod tightly, frowning as he carefully examined the little girl.

Not a normal vengeful spirit... huh.

Hesitantly, Li Ang picked up the ball with one hand and threw it a little further away.

The little girl ghost's body remained still, but her entire figure floated backward, slowly picked up the ball, and flew back to throw the ball to Li Ang.

The latter's eyes lit up, and he threw the ball twenty meters away with a bang, watching the little girl happily fly over to pick up the ball, and then fly back with the ball in her arms.

Back and forth, Li Ang threw the ball further and further away. Finally, he condensed the power of the ripple energy on his feet, and kicked the ball directly to the other end of the mall with a great miracle.

Go get it.

The little girl's ghost kept traveling back and forth between the two places, panting so hard that even the pigtails on her face drooped listlessly. She had to squat on the ground to rest for a while, with no energy to pester Li Ang anymore.

Chai Cuicao looked at all this with sympathy. A good ghost child was exhausted like a dog.

"It's actually effective."

Li Ang’s eyes became brighter and brighter. He put away the steel rod, first took out the talisman and completed the tracing on the fourth floor,

Then he took out his phone and typed: "I have finished drawing the talisman on the fourth floor, and now I am holding a little girl's ghost, and there is no danger for the time being.

The ghosts here seem to have great limitations, not just tracking sound and light.

I think, as long as we don’t violate their ‘rules,’ it is very likely that we will not be attacked."

Ao Yong: "? Is this idea reliable?"

Li Ang typed: "Not sure, further verification is needed.

However, next time you see a ghost, whether you run or attack, you can carefully observe the ghost while ensuring your own safety, and try to discover the patterns of their actions."

Yi Yi: "I understand, I will write down the characteristics of the ghost next time I see it. Now Ao Yong and I have separated, he went to the third floor, and I went to the second floor."

Liu Wudai: "Received, I have shaken off a ghost and am now in the Ralph Lauren flagship store C15 on the fourth floor of Building C."

Li Ang: "Okay, then I'll go to the Kunting store A1 in Building A first. Tell me in advance if you want to come over."

He is now on the fourth floor of Building A, and is only separated from Liu Wudai by a corridor. He needs to report his location in advance to avoid the two players getting close to each other, leading to the ghosts chasing them.

The Kuntin store located at A1 in Building A is not very large. Wooden cabinets are placed in front of the surrounding walls, and various ceramic utensils and silver cutlery are placed in the cabinet windows.

In the center of the store is a long table with a dazzling array of jewelry.

Kuntin is a top luxury brand from France, mainly producing silverware, tableware, utensils, ceramics, crystal ornaments and various jewelry, and is loved by the world's royal families, nobles and dignitaries.

What kind of spoons cost two thousand yuan each, forks cost five thousand yuan each, and table knives cost seven thousand each. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are completely money-burning, flashy luxury goods. In the eyes of the rich and powerful, they are as common as bottled water in vending machines. They are bought casually, and it is not a big deal at all.

"You can't imagine the happiness of the rich..."

Li Ang looked enviously and jealously at the prices of various jewels. After prying open the cabinet door with his gloves on, he rummaged through it roughly, but did not find the talisman. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that the chandelier hanging from the ceiling seemed to shake a few times.

He raised his head and looked up, and found that there seemed to be something hidden in the crystal chandelier, looking like a... a Kuntin brand brochure?

"Well... such an obvious abnormality is clearly bewitching players to climb up and search..."

Li Ang complained in his heart, but still gently pulled the table over, climbed up, and took out the brochure from the crystal chandelier with his gloves on.

The white-bottomed black brochure is the size of A4 paper. The paper quality is very good, and it feels extremely smooth to the touch. The entire brochure is not very thick.

Li Ang rubbed the brochure, and clearly heard that the sound of a certain page inside was different, as if a yellow paper talisman was hidden inside.

"Hidden inside again, is this telling us that there are golden houses in books, and there are Yan Ruyus in books?"

He habitually complained, lifted his spine, shook the brochure, and wanted to shake the yellow paper talisman out of it.

However, the pages of the brochure seemed to be glued together, and no matter how he shook it, it would not move at all.

"Um..."

Li Ang rubbed his chin, pulled out a bishou (dagger) from the gap in his boots, and stabbed the tip of the knife into the gap between the pages, but he couldn't stab it in anyway.

He held the bishou and stabbed and cut the brochure, but the indestructible booklet remained motionless.

"Can only read it."

Li Ang muttered: "This kind of setting that has to trigger a flag is really bad."

He took a deep breath and reached out to open the cover of the brochure. This time there was no obstacle, just like flipping through a normal book.

After a rough browsing, the first few pages of the brochure are very normal content, with the company profile written in English, beautiful models wearing jewelry, tableware and kitchenware placed in wooden boxes, and so on.

Further back, the content changed abruptly. Only the picture on the paper was pitch black. You could vaguely see two legs wearing ordinary suit pants, standing on an escalator.

"Hiss."

Li Ang felt a headache, and a sense of "flipping down will definitely trigger a bad flag" arose spontaneously.

"Although the picture on the paper is completely static and it is impossible to see whether the escalator is moving, it can be inferred from the pitch black in the picture that the time on the picture is at night, and it is even very likely to be now."

He held the brochure and walked out of the door to a more open corridor. After confirming that the little girl ghost was still squatting in the distance to rest, he slowly lifted the next page.

The picture on the next page did not change much. It was still two legs wearing suit pants, but one leg was raised and stepped on the escalator.

"Is this climbing a static escalator?"

Further down, the two legs climbed up the escalator step by step, and finally stepped on the beige limestone floor.

The picture is also slightly brighter, and with the moonlight, you can vaguely see that the picture depicted in the brochure is the fourth floor of Building A where Li Ang is located.

It’s in the corridor to his left, but Li Ang didn’t dare to turn his head to look at all.

He had a premonition that once he turned his head, he would trigger an instant death flag 100%.

The legs in the paper picture have already walked up to the fourth floor. If you flip down again, it is very likely that those two legs will walk towards Li Ang.

He froze in place. If he delayed any longer, the system would probably determine that he had stagnated for a long time, and would directly lead the ghosts to come and hunt him down.

What to do? Should I drop the brochure? Or continue to flip through it? There is a talisman hidden inside...

Li Ang exhaled a breath of stale air and finally made up his mind.

He flipped the page back one page.

Almost at the instant when the page was flipped back, clear footsteps could be heard in the corridor to the left of Li Ang.

He flipped the page back again. In the picture, the two legs wearing suit pants were walking backwards down the escalator, and the footsteps were getting farther and farther away.

"It's really effective!"

Li Ang flipped the brochure back to the first page, and then repeated the same trick, flipping through the pages quickly with the hand speed of a bank teller counting money.

In the escalator downstairs on the left, there was a rapid footstep like a tap dance. After persisting for a few minutes, the footsteps finally stopped. Regardless of Li Ang's continued flipping of the pages, he ran downstairs angrily.
