Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 97: The Genius Boy Xiao Men?

First floor of the administration building.

Although no signs of habitation were found, Zhang Ze could clearly feel that there was much less dust here than in the clinic, as if someone regularly cleaned the place.

The rubble, garbage, and various debris on the ground have all been cleared away. Except for some old, dilapidated items that were not moved, the place is almost in normal operation.

Go up to the second floor.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A burst of gunfire suddenly erupted.

Zhang Ze almost instinctively released the crows.

After waiting a few seconds, there was no attack, as if the gunshots were just an illusion.

"Is there a light?"

Zhang Ze looked in the direction from which the gunshots came. In the last cubicle deep in the corridor, there were faint signs of light, and the gunshots were coming from inside that cubicle.

It wasn't just gunfire, but a series of intense gunfire.

Zhang Ze could even tell that the shooter was consciously using techniques such as burst fire and recoil control.

Is anyone there?

"I'm here to deliver pizza. Your pizza is here, Room 208, 2nd floor, Administration Building, Ward 2."

Zhang Ze spoke as he entered the house.

In the center of the room stood a desktop computer with its screen lit up, displaying a CS game account in deathmatch practice mode.

CS, short for Counter-Strike, is a long-running first-person shooter game, often referred to as the football or basketball of esports, and is one of the most entertaining shooting games.

Deathmatch mode refers to a game mode where there are no teammates and players shoot each other indiscriminately, designed to train players' reaction skills.

"This place has been abandoned for almost ten years, and there's still a computer used for gaming."

"I haven't seen anyone. Are they hiding?"

Zhang Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

The ghost eye instantly scanned the entire room.

There was no one inside.

The computer was lit up all by itself, still stuck on the CS game screen, which was quite intriguing and reminded Zhang Ze of one of the system's side quests.

Side Quest 3: The Last Player. When you see a teammate making inhuman moves in a game, please don't rush to hurl insults, because she might really not be human.

"Xiaomen, do you know any other patients who play video games?"

"I don't know it," Xiaomen said, a hint of envy in her voice, "but I want to play..."

Want to play computer games?

This computer is clearly malfunctioning.

In this situation, it's entirely possible for a ghost to appear on the computer, or for the computer to act as some kind of medium, potentially attracting something like Sadako.

It's no wonder Zhang Ze is suspicious.

What I was seeing was extremely unusual.

"Then you play first, and tell me if anything seems unusual."

Zhang Ze put the straw hat on the back of the chair in front of the computer desk, and suddenly the character model on the screen, which had been motionless, started moving, the keyboard began to type on its own, and the mouse moved by itself.

It's like there's an unseen person controlling the game.

only……

"Your skills are really bad."

"Even if you've never played a shooting game, you've still seen pigs run, right? Just put the crosshair on the enemy's head, left-click the mouse, and you're done."

Zhang Ze couldn't help but complain when he saw Xiao Men's terrible performance.

Unfortunately, he was also a novice.

Otherwise, I would teach Xiaomen how to play step by step.

On the computer screen.

Xiaomen had just revived when he encountered an enemy who fired at him. Logically, Xiaomen should have been shot several times and died on the spot, just like before, and then the process would repeat.

The strange thing is...

Xiao Men suddenly seemed like a different person.

The operator made an emergency stop, aiming the crosshair at the enemy's head before the enemy could fire, and instantly killed the enemy with a single shot.

"Bang!"

An incredibly crisp sound of a headshot.

"Hmm? This kid's had an epiphany?"

Zhang Ze muttered a few words. He felt that the operation just now was not something Xiaomen had done himself, but more like someone had snatched Xiaomen's mouse and fired a shot on a whim, and only now had things returned to normal.

I'm not sure, I'll think about it some more.

The small door is clumsy and the mouse moves.

The character walks, aims, and counts, all in a slow and chaotic manner, giving off a completely novice's perspective. However, every time an enemy appears on the screen, the crosshair instantly snaps to the enemy's head as if it has eyes.

One second.

head shot.

A bizarre scene unfolded:

In this deadly battle, Xiaomen was like a malfunctioning robot vacuum cleaner, running all over the map. His walking was frighteningly erratic, and his shooting accuracy was frighteningly accurate. He could almost instantly kill any enemy that appeared on the screen, unless there were many targets at the same time.

"You little rascal, you didn't actually open it, did you?"

Zhang Ze was dumbfounded.

Could Xiaomen be some kind of reclusive genius?

The game is over.

Zhang Ze put his straw hat back on and started communicating with Xiao Men.

"You got over 30 kills in one game, and it was your first time playing a game. Your talent is a bit exaggerated," Zhang Ze said with a smile. "How about we organize a haunted house CS tournament for you? You might catch the eye of a youth training manager."

"I'm really bad at the game."

"But when I was playing, every time I encountered an enemy, I felt like someone else was stealing my mouse," Komon said. "There's a ghost in this computer."

"And it's not the kind of monster that's in Sanju Silver Fish's head, but a real demon."

A real ghost.

Zhang Ze certainly knew what the small door referred to.

The black monkey inside Sanjiu Silver Fish's head is more like a monster that escaped from the world behind the door than a vengeful ghost; the same is true of the one riding on the neck of Wang Shenglong, a patient in the third ward.

Such monsters are usually not very strong. They want to harm people, collect negative emotions, and even make some kind of agreement with living people.

Real vengeful ghosts are different. They have the mind of a living person and can play games. Although this is somewhat unbelievable, it is not unacceptable.

"I see."

"Could you please play one more game?"

"If possible, try to get in touch with the person on the computer."

Zhang Ze said.

Judging from this, only the small door can connect with the ghost inside the computer. If Zhang Ze were to personally take action and snatch the mouse, the ghost inside the computer probably wouldn't stand a chance against him.

The ghost inside the computer has limited power and cannot leave the computer. It can only control the characters inside the computer. Zhang Ze is a dimensional reduction attack for it, and Xiao Men is the most suitable candidate.

"Yay!"

Little Door is very happy.

Given the opportunity, he naturally wanted to try again.

Zhang Ze then put the straw hat on the back of the seat.

The small door operator started a deathmatch.

The same scene played out again, with Xiaomen acting like a novice while tearing apart all the enemies that appeared on the screen with ridiculously exaggerated marksmanship.

Towards the end, someone was shouting in the voice chat:

"BYD, you cheater, I call you a god!"

"Fuck cheating dog!"

"Damn it, let's play a match, I'll crush you!"

Someone couldn't resist and extended a 1v1 invitation to Xiaomen.

Xiaomen was a bit timid. Zhang Ze clearly saw that Xiaomen avoided replying to this person, but the keyboard suddenly started moving on its own and typed four words in the chat box.

"I'll beat you until you submit."
