I Was Found Out Pretending To Be a Rookie in a Paranormal World?!

Chapter 8 – A fiercely contested battle

Challenge mission unlocked!

Jiang Che was slightly surprised, but it was somewhat expected.

The high-power flashlight was priced at 500 Spectral Coins.

With a daily income of 100 Spectral Coins, even without eating or drinking, it would take five days to afford it.

And the mission was only seven days long, making the flashlight's price extremely unreasonable.

Precisely because it was unreasonable, Jiang Che gritted his teeth and bought it.

He fiddled with the all-black flashlight, turned on the switch, and a beam of strong light instantly illuminated the entire hall!

At the same time, a battery life indicator appeared on the flashlight: 02:59:57

The lighting time was only three hours.

Meanwhile, the item's description surfaced in his mind.

[High-Power Flashlight]: The light can illuminate the darkness and dispel the shadows within it. Be sure to take it with you when you go out at night.

So, with this flashlight, could he move around after dark?

The challenge mission was called "Wail of the Bloody Night," and the trigger item was the flashlight. Combining the two, no matter how you looked at it, it was guiding challengers to go out after dark for a stroll...

But recalling last night's encounter, Jiang Che couldn't help but shiver.

"The Mystic World seems to have that vibe..."

But a flashlight that only lasts three hours was definitely not enough.

He still needed to make more money...

Just then, a sudden clatter of footsteps echoed from the hallway.

Immediately, a blood-soaked person burst out from the stairway.

When she saw Jiang Che in the hall, hope appeared on her terrified face.

She ran while crying out, "Jiang Che! Save me, save me!"

"Li Xiaoxiao?"

Jiang Che frowned slightly. She had wanted to borrow money from him in the morning; how did she end up like this now?

Moreover...

Li Xiaoxiao had clearly suffered a terrible attack.

Her clothes were tattered, and her body was covered with gruesome wounds.

As she ran, blood continuously oozed from her wounds, staining the white tiles of the hall red.

"Save me, Jiang Che! Save me! I'll agree to anything you want!"

Li Xiaoxiao cried out as she lunged forward.

And just then.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed in the hall.

Jiang Che slapped Li Xiaoxiao, sending her flying...

"(O_o)??"

"Jiang, Jiang Che... what are you doing?"

Li Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Che in disbelief, her face stinging.

"We were classmates, are you really going to let me die?"

Jiang Che shrugged and said, "Whether I save a classmate is my business, but as for you, I'm definitely not saving you."

"Why? As long as you help me complete the mission, I'll do anything!" As she spoke, Li Xiaoxiao even tore her clothes.

"Stop pretending." Jiang Che said with a frown.

Li Xiaoxiao: "What?"

Jiang Che: "Die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Che leapt up and thrust a pair of scissors fiercely at Li Xiaoxiao's neck!

"Whoosh!"

Li Xiaoxiao dodged Jiang Che's attack, darting to the side!

That speed was something a newcomer couldn't possibly achieve!

Li Xiaoxiao stood not far away, glaring at Jiang Che with a sinister look: "How did you find out?"

Jiang Che chuckled and said, "How did I know you were a fake? Of course, it was wisdom."

Li Xiaoxiao: "Impossible... How could you tell!"

Jiang Che: "Li Xiaoxiao has a mole under her left breast, you don't."

Li Xiaoxiao: "???"

If it weren't for this one trying to seduce him, Jiang Che might not have discovered it so quickly.

If he hadn't miscalculated, this should be an F-level Uncanny.

Though he didn't know why an Uncanny suddenly appeared.

But since the beginning, the other party never intended to let him go.

So it was just right for some practice!

"Looks like this will be a fierce battle evenly matched." Jiang Che instinctively licked his lips, his eyes burning with excitement.

Li Xiaoxiao: "..."

For some reason, Jiang Che's gaze made him very uncomfortable.

This guy, why did he seem more excited than him?

Is he crazy?

"Crack, crack, crack..." A teeth-grating sound rang out.

Li Xiaoxiao began tearing her face apart bit by bit.

Beneath the skin, it was a bloody mess!

"In that case, let me make you my dinner tonight..."

"Thud!"

Before he could finish speaking, a pair of scissors pierced through his hand and face, pinning them together!

Jiang Che took advantage of the moment when he was tearing his face, blocking his own view.

He launched a surprise attack!

Am I going to stand here and listen to your nonsense?

Don't you know villains die from talking too much?

Die already!

With a successful hit, Jiang Che repeatedly stabbed, making the faceless ghost suffer.

"Stop, stop!"

"Thud, thud!"

"Come on, cheat, come on, sneak attack! If you have the guts..."

"Thud, thud!"

"Crack!"

Those bulging eyes were filled with disbelief.

Is this the fierce battle you mentioned?

An evenly matched fierce battle?

Using sneak attacks?

Never seen such a shameless caregiver...

"Bang!"

Then he stabbed the body a few more times and finally threw it out the window...

The Uncanny was dealt with, but the hall was left in a mess.

Blood was everywhere, making it look like a slaughterhouse.

Just then, a scream suddenly echoed!

"Ah—!!!"

At the hallway entrance, Li Xiaoxiao, holding a mop and broom, screamed in shock!

"It's me."

Jiang Che took off the blood-stained white coat and wiped the blood off his face.

"Jiang, Jiang Che? Is it really you?" Li Xiaoxiao swallowed hard.

Jiang Che shrugged: "What are you doing on the fourth floor?"

"The Head Nurse asked me to clean the fourth floor." Li Xiaoxiao glanced at the blood-soaked hall, her face pale as she asked, "What happened here?"

However, for Jiang Che, who had just killed a "Li Xiaoxiao," the Li Xiaoxiao in front of him might not be real.

To avoid being caught off guard, Jiang Che asked, "Can you show me your left breast... area?"

"Area?...," Li Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, then said, "In such a hurry? That'll cost extra..."

"Oh, never mind, you can clean up." Jiang Che walked towards the front desk.

Li Xiaoxiao: "50! 50! I won't raise the price, just 50! You can look, or the area! Jiang Che!"

"50! 50! Don't treat me like a person! Jiang Che!!!"

"......"

......

At 6 PM, everyone clocked out on time.

Everyone gathered on the first floor, and the number of people had decreased significantly.

Now there were only ten people in total.

Six male caregivers.

Four female janitors.

More than ten people had been eliminated, and it was only the second day.

Before long, the Head Nurse arrived.

This time, no one was killed because of work.

The Head Nurse handed out envelopes to everyone and then left, but before leaving, she said something to Jiang Che.

"Your performance today was very good."

There was nothing wrong with that statement.

But in the current environment, it undoubtedly stirred up a storm.

Classmates cast surprised glances.

"Jiang Che got praised?"

"Whoa? Did I hear that right?"

"This guy usually just sleeps and hasn't even read the basic strategies, why?"

"wdnm, this guy must have had a stroke of luck today!"

One by one, the boys were indignant.

But the four girls were different...

"Jiang Che, Jiang Che... It's still early, how about coming over to my place?"

"Brother Che, here's my room key."

This...

The world is truly going downhill!
