This is not a weird story

"What happened?"

After the scream, the blurred feeling in front of everyone quickly disappeared, and their vision began to become clear.

I saw that I was still standing in a vegetable market, but it was no longer the Sanchakou vegetable market, but a strange place.

There is the dark blue ceiling of the market above your head, and the sky around you is gloomy, which makes people feel depressed.

Next to where everyone was standing was a row of meat stalls. In front of each stall, there was a dazzling array of pork, beef, mutton, etc., but there were no people selling or buying vegetables around.

Except for a few of them, the market was empty and deserted.

No, that shrill scream just now...

Everyone's eyes immediately followed the scream, and they saw half of a body lying on the ground about seven or eight meters away from them.

It was the upper body of a man, neatly dressed, but stained with some blood, which looked a bit shocking.

His lower body was missing, and some organs flowed out from the fractured body. This man probably died after he made that scream just now.

After taking a look at it, Hao Jiannan immediately recognized part of the man's face and said tremblingly: "This is that person, the participant that the administration has never found! Didn't all of us see him?" A photo of him, he...he...this is..."

"She must have been punished by Kaitan." A deep voice took over.

Everyone turned to look and found that this person was not a participant among them, but a stranger.

The speaker was none other than the investigator Jian Hui who was yelling "f*ck" just now.

He never expected that even though he was so far away from the raw meat stall, he would still be sensed by Kaitan and be forcefully sucked in.

It's too late to say anything now. If I had known earlier, I would have found an excuse to go out and buy a pack of cigarettes and stay away from the vegetable market.

I hope the level of this ghost story is not too high, otherwise even Jian Hui himself would not be sure of successfully passing it, let alone saving people.

"Don't panic, I'm not a weirdo. I was the last participant that the administration almost missed. I just arrived at the market at twelve o'clock." Jian Hui explained.

When he said this, there were currently eight participants (including Wei An) and Jian Hui.

The participant with only half of his body left in front of him had been hiding before and refused to appear at the market within the time limit of the ghost story. Who would have thought that at the beginning of the ghost story, this participant would suffer such serious consequences!

I wonder what he was doing at that time? Hidden where? So much so that in the process of being forcibly absorbed by Kaitan, his body was cut off at the waist, and his lower body was missing, so he naturally didn't live long.

From this point of view, he can be regarded as the first participant in the ghost story to die.

Wen Qiong had been holding Wei'an's hand, and was about to speak to Wei'an when he suddenly saw a large mass of blood-colored mist spreading in front of his eyes. The situation was strange.

In fact, at this moment, the strange information formed by the bloody mist appeared in front of everyone's eyes, including Wei An and Jian Hui.

The bloody mist dispersed.

[Welcome, participant! You have entered the C-level ghost story - the bloodthirsty butcher. 】

[Strange Stories: Bloodthirsty Butcher]

[Grade: C]

[Type: Multiplayer (selected)]

[Description of the incident: According to legend, a shocking murder occurred in the "Zhaolukou Wet Market". A butcher selling pork had an argument with another butcher at the stall, and he killed the butcher and his wife on the spot with a butcher's knife. The heads were chopped off, and the people around him were so frightened that they all fled and called the police. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet the couple's daughter returning from school, and unfortunately she was killed by the crazy butcher. When the police arrived, the butcher had committed suicide by committing seppuku, and with his last breath, stuffed his internal organs into the dissected body of the fat pig...]

[Main mission: Survive in the Zhalukou market for 24 hours. During this period, you can do whatever you want. 】

[Main mission reward: 500 energy points]

[Hidden tasks: Yes]

After the strange information appeared, everyone was reading it quickly, so the scene was temporarily quiet.

However, Jian Hui, who looked calm just now, now had a slightly twitching facial expression.

"C-level!!!"

In fact, he hasn't seen the "description of the event" at all. Judging from Jian Hui's experience, he can't hold back anymore just after seeing the level.

Although he had no choice but to enter this ghost story, in his imagination, since the ghost story was not lower than D level, it was best to be D level and never go higher.

Although I have never dealt with this D-level monster, I at least have experience in dealing with E-level monsters. If I deal with it carefully and be well prepared, I can still challenge it.

But how did he know that this "bloodthirsty butcher" was actually C-level!

After quickly reading the follow-up information of the mission, Jian Hui became more and more horrified as he read, and the more angry he became as to why he didn't just go farther away and why he was sitting in the control room.

With a snap, under the stunned eyes of everyone, he slapped himself hard.

"There are...there are mosquitoes." He raised his head and said expressionlessly.

Wei An guessed that the mosquito must have accidentally acquired his flesh and blood, which was why the mosquito hated him so much and swatted it so hard.

After a while, those who read slower also finished reading all the information about Kaidan. However, because it was their first time to enter Kaidan, they did not have a deep understanding of the classification of Kaidan levels.

This is also the reason why the Management Bureau deliberately did not tell them, otherwise it may further arouse the participants' panic, and if they want to calmly deal with the situation in the ghost story, they can only dream.

Wei An was stunned when he saw that the level of Kaitan was "C-level". He quickly read through the description of Kaitan, looked around at the unfamiliar market environment, and mentally planned his next move.

At this time, Wen Qiong noticed that Wei An's expression was no longer as calm as before, and asked quickly: "Son, is this weird story very difficult?"

"A little bit, but it's not a big problem." Wei An said: "Mom, now we have to be together all the time. I suspect that in this strange story, the murderous butcher may have turned into an even more terrifying monster after his death, becoming the most dangerous person here. It exists, so we have to survive for 24 hours.”

"Ah!" Wen Qiong turned pale and nodded hastily, "Son, I will listen to you."

"And..." Wei An whispered: "Mom, I am different from you this time. I am not a participant. It is because I have entered the ghost story twice and inspired a special profession. Only after the ghost story has a sense It sucked me in at the same time. So the butcher may not chase me for the time being, but his target is you. If any of you is a dragster, you must give up on him decisively without hesitation. If you and Everyone else has wandered off, so make sure you stay with me."

"Yeah, even if I get separated from other people, I can't get separated from you." Wen Qiong nodded.

At this moment, Wei An was a little surprised, because he found that his mother's nervousness seemed to be fading away, and her face was not as pale as before, but she was focusing more on the ghost story itself.

"Son, there is a cleaver knife on the cutting board of the butcher shop over there. Could it be a prop?" Wen Qiong glanced at the butcher stall nearest to them, "Should I bring it over first?"

"Take it!" Wei An said immediately. He couldn't help but glance at his mother again.
