Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"What are you doing? Are you trying to assault me!"

Xu Tong slapped away the ghostly hand that grabbed him. "I'm warning you, my body isn't something anyone can touch. Be careful, or I'll accuse you of extortion! Just because you run a pharmacy doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"

After swatting away the ghostly hand, Xu Tong pondered for a moment and took off a piece of equipment that was essentially useless to him now, placing it in the trading area.

Xu Tong put his cardboard armor up for trade.

This time, nine candlelights lit up, indicating that a trade could be made.

Soon, the ghostly hand grabbed the cardboard armor and the hell money from the counter and pulled them into the darkness.

From the dispensing outlet, something clattered out.

Xu Tong picked it up and looked at the item information.

«Name: Tortoise Shell Divination»

«Type: Item - Effect»

«Quality: Extraordinary»

«Equipment Requirement: Level 25 or higher»

«Effect: Allows one divination, predicting the fortune of a matter silently contemplated. Cooldown time is one entire event; cannot be used until the complete event concludes.»

«Evaluation: You know what I don't, and I know what you don't. I know good fortune and disaster, but not one, two, three, or four.»

Holding the not-so-heavy tortoise shell in his hand, Xu Tong really didn't expect that the item the pharmacy spat out would actually require him to perform divination.

Seriously, you're a ghost, yet you want me to do divination? Have you no shame?

But since he was already here, and there were no refunds, Xu Tong could only choose to try it out.

"Cast a divination, will the package I'm about to deliver go smoothly?"

Silently contemplating, Xu Tong began shaking the tortoise shell in his hand.

After shaking it several times, Xu Tong looked at the coins inside the tortoise shell, wanting to see what kind of hexagram it formed.

But soon, Xu Tong discovered another problem.

"Damn, I can't understand the hexagram," Xu Tong paused for a moment. "Isn't this like asking a skilled cook to make a meal without rice? Are you targeting me?"

Fortunately, a string of information quickly appeared before him, so Xu Tong didn't need to understand the hexagram before his eyes himself.

Only two words appeared before Xu Tong.

But the deterrent power of these two words was already great enough.

Dire omen!

"Are you serious?" Although Xu Tong had some anticipation for this outcome, he didn't expect to actually get the worst one.

Even if the divination said so, the package and letter still had to be delivered. Xu Tong stuffed the tortoise shell back into his bag, got up, and took back the hell money the ghostly hand returned to him.

After thinking for a moment, a sudden curiosity arose in Xu Tong's heart.

So, he asked a question.

"I want a weapon that can kill an Ancient God."

Click—

A strange noise echoed in the darkness, and the ghostly hand handed out another strip of cloth.

This time, the content written on it was exceptionally short.

He even only looked at the first few words before Xu Tong directly turned around and walked out of Qingcheng Pharmacy.

"Your life."

Using his life to exchange for a weapon that could kill an Ancient God was somewhat not worth it. Xu Tong only needed to know that weapons capable of killing Ancient Gods actually existed in this world.

After walking out of Qingcheng Pharmacy, Xu Tong seemed to feel that the surrounding mist had become thicker, and even the surrounding temperature had dropped slightly.

He walked along the street and soon arrived at the door of the second house.

According to the divination of the tortoise shell, delivering this package should be very dangerous.

Even before Xu Tong stepped forward to knock on the door, he already felt the sense of danger.

Because the door of this building was open.

Among so many buildings on the entire street, apart from the Qingcheng Pharmacy just now, only this family dared to leave the door open. This was definitely not normal.

"Is this the dire omen?"

Xu Tong mustered his courage, holding the letter in his hand, and walked into the building.

Drip—

As soon as he walked in, Xu Tong felt a drop of liquid fall from his head.

Coincidentally, Xu Tong hadn't walked in completely, and this drop of liquid didn't fall directly on his body but fell on the floor.

Creak—

Creak—

Inside the house, the wooden floor was being stepped on, making creaking sounds.

A broad figure paced back and forth in the house, holding a rusty, bloodstained kitchen knife in his hand.

This figure had no head. Only the stiff corpse below the neck was still walking, seemingly searching for the location of its head.

Before Xu Tong could take any action, words had already surged into his vision.

[Your brain has mobilized the memories that were previously erased by the booklet in your hand, and found information related to the ghost in front of you. The Headless Ghost is always looking for its head. Never let it step on your shadow, otherwise the head of your shadow will also be cut off, and you will fall into a state of chronic death]

"It seems I still have to find this ghost's name myself and help it sign for the package. Why is it so troublesome for me to be a postman? Do I have to do the customer's work too? At least give me some wages."

Xu Tong carefully avoided the liquid dripping from above and walked into the room.

Having to guard against the Headless Ghost's movements and prevent it from stepping on his shadow already limited Xu Tong's actions, causing him to only be able to search for clues to the name in places where the Headless Ghost wasn't.

But this time, Xu Tong was lucky. He quickly found the Headless Ghost's name in one place.

It's just that Xu Tong found this name somewhat familiar. As for where he had seen it, he couldn't remember for a moment.

"This instance interferes with the brain's memory," Xu Tong muttered to himself, and at the same time took out a pen, preparing to sign the Headless Ghost's name on the letter to complete this letter delivery.

Just as Xu Tong signed his name and prepared to return the way he came, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Outside the door of the building, something was blocking his only way.

"Hee hee hee—"

The shrill laughter echoed in the narrow entrance.

It was crawling on the ground...

A shadow.

But this shadow was clearly not the shadow of an adult. This size was more like that of a newborn infant.

And at the neck of this shadow, there seemed to be something long and thin wriggling, spreading along the floor under Xu Tong's feet towards other directions.

[Your brain has mobilized the memories that were previously erased by the booklet in your hand, and found information related to the ghost in front of you. The Ghost Shadow will not kill people, but its existence can change the physical location of other ghosts. Please be sure to ensure that it will not pull other dangerous ghosts to your side]

This line of text appeared too late. The moment Xu Tong turned his head, a foot had already stepped on his shadow.

Xu Tong's pupils dilated slightly.

The rusty kitchen knife in the Headless Ghost's hand had already cut on the neck of Xu Tong's shadow.

Tearing out a hideous wound!
