Chapter 37 Ghost Species

"Ghost species" are aberrant monsters of the spirit type. They are rare, but also very troublesome.

Their attacks are usually mental assaults. Low-level monsters create auditory and visual hallucinations, affecting the target's mind and judgment; high-level ones directly control a person's limbs until death, like Pestoya before.

But Suren is no longer the newbie he was when he first transmigrated, knowing nothing.

He knows that even if a ghost species wants to control someone, it is related to mental strength. The weaker the target's mental strength, the easier it is to be controlled. This is why many evil spirits choose to scare humans first, rather than killing them outright. It's not that they have a twisted sense of humor; it's that healthy, calm humans are difficult to control. Only by scaring the target and continuously lowering their sanity can they reach the threshold of control.

...

"It didn't attack directly, so it seems that ghost species isn't too high-level..."

Suren was very calm. Although two shots were ineffective, he also judged some useful information.

He was very clear that his mental strength far exceeded that of a first-order professional, even most low-level ghost species.

The "creepy nurse" just now didn't directly attack, probably because it couldn't control him at all!

The calmer he was, the less the other party could do to him.

What's more, his musket was loaded with [Silver Alchemy Bullets] designed for special monsters.

But strangely, Suren waited against the wall for nearly a minute, and didn't find anything unusual.

It seemed that the monster had already left?

At this time, he slowly moved, intending to change a place.

But just then, suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the shadow of the knife-wielding nurse in the glass on the door again.

And it was very close!

It was five meters away just now, and now it was standing three meters behind him!

Without hesitation, Suren drew his gun and fired two more shots.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

But this time, he still didn't hit the target. Looking back, he still didn't see the creepy nurse.

Four bullets were already embedded in the wall.

"Disappeared in an instant? Or some other reason... like it can only be seen in reflections?"

Suren was very clear that his two shots just now should not have missed.

He was now rapidly speculating in his mind how this thing disappeared.

If it were someone else, their heart would probably be beating at 160+ at this moment, but Suren still maintained a calm state of around 70.

Eight hundred horror movies weren't watched for nothing.

At a certain moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Suren's mind, and he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

Then he connected a certain clue and revealed a look of realization: That's right, it's that one!

Just as he was thinking, he seemed to sense something, and raised his eyes to look at the glass again. And this time, what he saw was not a shadow, but a ghostly face stuck to the glass, staring straight at him after peeling it off. It was the creepy nurse with the pale face from before!

The man and the ghost were face to face, less than half a meter apart.

But this time, Suren didn't fire again.

He just looked at it with a calm expression, and even blinked, as if he wasn't surprised by what he saw at all. "Tsk tsk... as expected, it's this kind of opening. If I turn around this time, this guy should be stuck to my face, right..."

When normal people encounter this situation, their first reaction is probably to turn around and run.

Thinking of this, Suren seemed to be trying to verify his thoughts, and turned around without hesitation.

Then, he saw that pale ghostly face was only one centimeter away from him, almost kissing him.

"No physical damage, purely a scare tactic. As expected, is this a 'miss' I imagined? I remember the prototype should be that one..."

Suren understood instantly.

This ghost species was created by himself!

Ignoring the terrifying face in front of him, he roughly understood the rules of this cursed space in his heart, and muttered to himself, "The phrase 'When you think of it, it will appear before you' means this."

At this time, Suren reached out and touched the ghost nurse in front of him. His hand passed right through, naturally a spirit body.

He confirmed something again and analyzed, "Just now I saw that the nurse's name was 'Janice,' and I unconsciously imagined that the nurse should be a long-legged blonde beauty. Coupled with the terrifying environment of the hospital, that's why I combined the environment and imagined such a terrifying nurse. But it is real..."

The ghost nurse only had the ability to scare people, and the knife in her hand was just a decoration. Seeing that Suren was not scared at all, she floated away boredly.

.......

"Imagination made real, thought projection, wish fulfillment? The rules of this cursed space are a bit interesting..."

Suren felt that this experience was very magical.

Although he had practiced the lucid dreaming method of dreaming during psychological treatment before, it could also achieve this kind of wish fulfillment effect.

But this was the first time in the real world that he had directly manifested the thoughts in his mind.

"I have the ability to create it, but I can't make it disappear. So, this is also the difficulty of clearing the level. If I create too many powerful things because of random thoughts, then they may kill me..."

Suren connected all the details and thought carefully, and understood the entire rules.

This cursed space, at least the "killing intent" on this floor, is here.

The hospital with a full atmosphere of horror may not have any monsters at all.

Its role is actually to give people psychological hints. The dim lights, the empty corridors, the empty beds... these horror elements will make you fill in the blanks and think of some monsters yourself.

Then, the fantasy will materialize and become a real monster in reality to hunt you down.

Moreover, the things that can cause people's instinctive fear are probably the things that you can't beat.

Unfortunately, he met Suren, a pathological player who had cleared eight hundred horror movies and games.

There are small surprises, but no horror.

.......

Suren felt that he had cracked the rules, and he wanted to try it.

"Since I can imagine things into existence, then... let's try a 'big wave'?"

Suren imagined a big-waved beauty in his mind, but...

In the next second, he was surprised to hold his chin with his hand, revealing a thoughtful expression: "It actually failed?"

"Could it be that the fantasy isn't specific enough, not detailed enough?"

Suren was thoughtful.

Then, he automatically filled in the blanks with several detailed characters.

"Maria Ozawa?"

"..."

"Audrey Hepburn?"

"..."

"Tsunade?"

"..."

Characters spanning the second dimension, the third dimension, and film and television dramas were all filled in, but none of them materialized.

Continuous failures made Suren doubt: "The way to open it seems to be wrong... The rules I deduced should be correct, otherwise the ghost nurse shouldn't have appeared before."

He felt that his thinking should be no problem, but he must be missing a link.

"Let me think, what other conditions did I meet when I imagined that ghost nurse before... At that time, I was concentrating on guarding against monsters, and then... that's right, emotional fluctuations!"

Suddenly, he felt that he had found the blind spot.

This cursed space cannot materialize anything, but can only materialize certain specific things that conform to the rules.

For example, things that can arouse people's fear... terrifying things!

.......

If it were an ordinary person, even if they thought of this loophole in the rules, the more they tried to control themselves not to think about it, the more their heads would think about it.

In that moment of random thoughts, the corridor would probably be filled with all kinds of cute things.

But Suren was like a normal person. Although various "candidate roles" appeared in his mind, there were no emotional fluctuations of fear at all.

He had played eight hundred of them, and there was no novelty left.

He didn't plan to give up trying, and pondered with his chin in his hand: "If it's a terrifying character, it's best to have physical attacks, and I can beat them in terms of strength. Don't be a ghost, a zombie species is best..."

Hospital + horror elements + miss, what's the first reaction?

Of course, it's the invincible busty nurse from *Silent Hill*!

Suren suddenly filled his mind with the faceless nurse with long legs, a tight, low-cut, hip-hugging mini skirt nurse uniform, and then controlled his heart to be nervous...

The next moment, the moment to witness the miracle appeared!

Suren thought that there should be people in those empty wards, and sure enough, one by one, the nurse miss with twisted bodies, holding knives, steel pipes, and wrenches, walked out of the ward with twisted bodies.

Seeing this, Suren's eyes lit up, not surprised but happy: "It really worked... I finally saw a real thing!"

He had played this classic game so many times, and he had collected a row of figures at home. He had always fantasized about seeing a real thing one day. At this moment, his dream finally came true.

These short-skirted nurses had a strong attacking emotion, but their combat power was simply not enough in front of Suren, who was already employed.

Suren easily dodged those knives and sticks, and had the leisure to carefully observe some of the details he had been wondering about before.

"So the body under their clothes has the same human tissue structure..."

"Tsk tsk, this lace is really detailed. They even wear leggings, tsk, thumbs down! Where's the basic trust between humans and ghosts?"

"Sure enough, it's real material, not stiff, and the touch is excellent..."

"..."

This time, he finally satisfied his curiosity for many years.

It was clear that this was a terrifying hospital scene in a cursed space, but Suren, a player who didn't play by the rules, had turned it into an erotic game.

Before long, he had observed enough, raised his hand and fired a few shots, easily solving this group of monsters.

If this wasn't a dangerous cursed space, Suren felt that this hospital that could materialize fantasies would be his "happy hut," and he would probably stop to create more cute things to satisfy his curiosity for many years.

Unfortunately, if he delayed any longer, there might be unknown changes, and he decided to continue exploring.

.......

After figuring out the rules of the curse in this space, Suren ran rampant on the third floor of the inpatient department and didn't encounter a single monster.

However, apart from finding a few nurse duty rosters, he didn't find any useful information.

Then he looked at the hospital stairs and walked down to the second floor.

As soon as he went down, he saw a blind man wearing a cowboy hat sitting at the door of a ward.

The reason why Suren knew this was a blind man was because he recognized this highly recognizable guy at a glance, and said in surprise, "Blind Detective" Bill? Could this guy be the previous tenant..."

He didn't know which corpse he had stripped the memory of "Blind Detective" Bill's image from. But it didn't prevent him from knowing that this person was a famous bounty hunter in the inner city, the ceiling of musketeers, and one of the few "gun masters" in Old Lingdun!

Legend has it that this blind man's secret identity is also a major in the "Umbrella Organization"!
