My fairy tale is actually a strange story

Chapter 5 Singing Cicada
  "Wow ah ah-"

The bus driver, who just woke up from a dream, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and then his skin broke open, and the black shadow-like insect feet broke out of his body, forcing them against the ground, trying to work with the brakes to avoid falling into the mouth of evil things. .

"Run away!"

When he said this, Jiang Yuncheng had already opened the car window, letting in a rush of cold air.

The speed of bus No. 41 should be close to 80 kilometers per hour. If you jump off, you will definitely be seriously injured.

Then you have to jump!

Boom!
  click-

Jiang Yuncheng fell to the ground from the window of the fast-moving car in an awkward posture, holding his head tightly with his hands. His leg bones were broken, and then he fell down. He felt severe pain as if his whole body was falling apart.

Holding back the severe pain, Jiang Yuncheng clicked on the inventory and consumed 2 spiritual energy to directly upgrade.

At the moment of upgrading, the player's red and blue levels are full. Apart from the exaggerated pain that remains, there is nothing else out of the ordinary.

After calling out Ying Niang, Jiang Yuncheng ran back and forth without looking back.

"Ying Niang, are you running in the right direction?"

'Follow my path'

A unique black stretched out from the darkness. Even though he couldn't see his fingers, Jiang Yuncheng could feel the path where the shadow girl was born.

"Did that evil thing catch up behind you?"

Jiang Yuncheng just ran and had no time to look back.

‘No, it’s eating other evil things in the car’

"It's strange, why...why is Lucheng in this mode..."

Running wildly, Jiang Yuncheng rushed all the way outside.

Here, I really don’t know where it is.

[Obtain: Fragments of Ghost Stories]

[Obtain: Fragments of Ghost Stories]

[Obtained: 2 Kaidan Fragments]

There are continuous prompts coming from the game interface, and fragments of strange tales are constantly being added to the inventory.

If it weren't for the evil things inside, Jiang Yuncheng would have wanted to look back.

woohoo...

Running back to the normal road, Jiang Yuncheng gasped for air, his eyes always focused on the tunnel.

Jumping off the bus, Jiang Yuncheng faced the crisis with all his heart. The Yin and Yang Water Pavilion stopped rotating. Now he salvaged it once, and two spiritual energy came out of the barrel.

After consuming 2 pieces and salvaging 2 pieces, there are still 3 spiritual energy pieces in the inventory.

Jiang Yuncheng, current level 3.

[Experience value: 63/451]

Open the Yin Yang Water Pavilion normally and upgrade it to at least 1 level tomorrow.

Just as he calmed down, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the entrance of the tunnel. The speed was so fast that not only Jiang Yuncheng but also Shadow Niang could react.

Jiang Yuncheng immediately became alert and faintly caught a few noises in his ears.

Is it... the cry of a cicada?

Looking at the woman who escaped from the tunnel, her suit-like overalls were a little damaged, her hair was messy, and her face was covered in dust, but she could still tell that she was Xu Hong.

Unexpectedly, she escaped.

The best outcome in Jiang Yuncheng's mind is that all the other passengers on the bus die except himself.

In this way, there is no need to find excuses to deal with Lin Lan in life, and there is no one who knows about it, so he can stay in Lucheng for a long time and level up.

Unexpectedly, Xu Hong also ran out.

"Shadow Girl, prepare..."

'belch! '

"Um?!"

On the game interface, Ying Niang's belly bulged, and she thought Jiang Yuncheng had done something bad.

"What's wrong with you?"

‘good to hold on’

Checking the inventory, there are 4 ghost story fragments, but Shadow Girl only ate one of them. She picked the most delicious one, which meant that it was the most suitable type and had the highest experience value for her, so she wouldn’t be able to eat just one, right?
  In Lucheng No. 110 Hospital, Ying Niang ate a piece of ghost talk that had been transformed into experience points, and showed no sign of being full.

"You..." Xu Hong said, and Jiang Yuncheng's mind was racing with options for evasiveness.

I didn’t expect the other person’s next sentence to be…

"You are a player too."

"Me...player?"

Jiang Yuncheng glanced at his game interface and then at the other party.

Does anyone else have this Zhiguai game?
  But strange stories like Shadow Girl come from the strange culture before Jiang Yuncheng traveled through time. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that different worlds will have the same cultural overlap.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid?" Xu Hong rolled up her sleeves and had a tattoo that looked like a summer cicada on her forearm. "I knew you were human when we met. You are so bold, sneaking into the dungeon and marrying an evil creature. "

"Copy..."

Lucheng is a copy of the game? !

Previously, Jiang Yuncheng felt that it was outrageous for the original owner to live in a city full of evil things for 22 years.

If the past life was completely a game, the degree of absurdity would be even more exaggerated.

"Have you lost your memory?" Xu Hong muttered, "Some solo players who sneaked into the dungeon were accidentally mentally damaged and lost their memory just like you."

"I…"

"This is not a place for chatting. Stay away from the tunnel first."

Xu Hong stroked the cicada tattoo on her arm, and a sound wave similar to the chirping of cicadas rippled out.

"We have to take a long way back to the city."

"Xu Hong, actually I...I have always been living in Lucheng."

Jiang Yuncheng was cautious when he said this.

After Ying Niang confirmed the situation of the other party, he was indeed a human being, but he had to be wary of strangers.

"It's normal. When entering and exiting the script, you will be impacted by the interaction of yin and yang spiritual energy. If you are not careful, your memory will be confused."

Xu Hong showed off her Xia Chan tattoo again, "The player has a chip implanted in his body, which adapts to the corresponding fairy tale type. Only by using fairy tale games to break the weird stories in the world can we regain a beautiful place to live."

Jiang Yuncheng verified with Ying Niang that the illustrated book of ghosts and monsters was brought by souls through time travel, and there was no cyberpunk gameplay with additional so-called chips implanted.

When Jiang Yuncheng took a shower in the morning, he didn't find any tattoos on his body.

But according to this statement, wouldn’t my fairy tale be this illustrated book of strange monsters, a story of strange monsters? !

There seems to be nothing wrong with him. Because of his uncle's influence, Jiang Yuncheng has been reading books about monsters as children's books since he was a child.

"Then, how can I leave the instance?"

“Certainly stepping out at the right time.”

Xu Hong turned around and looked Jiang Yuncheng up and down, "You really don't remember anything."

"Yes, it is."

"Forget it, let's go back to the city first. Don't even think about leaving the Lucheng dungeon now."

The fairy tale "The Singing Cicada".

It tells the story of a person who was lost in the mountains and lost his light source. In the dark and helpless situation, he heard the chirping of cicadas meandering into the distance, so he stumbled forward in search of the chirping of cicadas. He actually walked out of the mountains and saw a small village.

Sensing the surrounding situation through sound waves, Xu Hong kept changing her route.

The area of ​​Lucheng is not large, and the tunnels are not outside the city limits. As the trip progresses, the streetscape and buildings become more and more familiar.

Xu Hong stopped and pointed to the police station in front, "Be cooperative later, we have to rush in and call the police."

"Call the police?!"

"Yes, on the surface all our lifestyles must conform to the laws of this evil-simulated city."

Bus No. 41 had an inexplicable accident in the mountains. The survivors struggled to escape outside. Their first reaction was to either ask their family for help or ask the police for help. Otherwise, it would be too abnormal.

"What is the purpose of this large-scale house-playing mode carried out by evil things?"

"In order to raise a higher-level existence."

Fear, faith, and awe will all turn into spiritual food for higher evils, just like gods feeding on incense and merit.

For a time, it was unable to break into the safe zone where humans lived, and it was unable to rule humans. The evil creatures themselves imitated humans to build cities, spread strange rumors, and caused the lower-level evil creatures to have unknown fear of the upper-level evil creatures.

Use this as food to keep growing.
