I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 123

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The ghost card rotated on the interface at a slow speed, with a shallow layer of gold and red on the edge, and an evil ghost with green fangs was painted in the center of the card surface.

The attributes were so obvious.

Jian Mingjia: “…”

She couldn’t believe it.

“I—you—” She didn’t know how to express her complicated feelings, but she stumbled a few times and suddenly remembered, feeling that such a grouping was surprisingly appropriate.

No, no, no, it’s just fate!

“It’s no wonder,” Jian Mingjia couldn’t help covering her face, “Isn’t this in accordance with your reputation?”

Lin You: “…”

Say that again, what is her reputation!

“Is it not?!”

Seeing that Lin You still wanted to refute, Jian Mingjia glared at her.

“Think about what you did,” she said bitterly, “Don’t you think that I haven’t seen the words written on your card, which have caused a lot of psychological shadow on others. Are you embarrassed? Huh?!”

“…Well, ghosts don’t offend me, so I don’t offend ghosts.”

Lin You answered naturally: “Don’t blame me for cleaning them up if you dare to press them on my head.”

“So it’s still the same thing.” Jian Mingjia thought, “Okay, you are best at dealing with ghosts, and you won’t be afraid that you won’t be able to win over those monsters.”

After all, after being cleaned up by her, even the cards can be changed, and probably those neutral ghosts would not cooperate obediently. No matter how bad it was, she would stop there on her own. One person alone is an army, and besides dispatching SCP-096 and SCP-173 together, calling out a Nyahlathotep can change everything.

It hurts, thinking about the opponents—

Thinking of this, Jian Mingjia’s face suddenly changed.

“Let me try.” She hurried to the computer.

Lin You: “Huh?”

“Let me log into mine on your computer,” Jian Mingjia frowned, “Let me see which one I can get.”

At home, she only had time to see if she was qualified and came over quickly, but she didn’t directly draw which camp she was in, so she subconsciously put herself in the same camp, in case it was the enemy…Now it was implied that there might not be enough time.

Lin You stood up and vacated the chair for her. The two of them had been in friendship for many years. Jian Mingjia was not polite, and she simply typed on the keyboard to log on to her account.

She saw which link Lin You opened, and now she knew where to go in. But when the dark blue background appeared again, she was not in a hurry to go there. She first made a cross, and then quickly made a few gestures back and forth.

“…What are you doing?” Lin You asked strangely.

Jian Mingjia has a solemn expression, “A method.”

Lin You: “………………”

Okay, as long as you are happy.

After casting the spell as a psychological comfort, Jian Mingjia finally took a deep breath and pointed at the card covered with grey cloth.

The pattern in front of her spun rapidly in the center of the screen, and only started to slow down slowly after about two seconds. At the moment when it stopped in front of them, the card face finally became clearly identifiable.

The same face with green fangs, the same ghost card.

Jian Mingjia let out a sigh of relief.

“I was scared to death. I thought I was going to fight with you.” She said with a lingering fear. “Going after you is not good for the heart. I would come back if I knew it was done.”

“The probability of 50-50 is also okay.”

Lin You smiled as she said this. Suddenly, a thought popped up in her head, “Wait, let me see.”

Jian Mingjia let go, let her take the mouse, and watched Lin You half-holding on the back of the chair, and dragging the ghost card around with the cursor.

“What’s the matter?” she asked.

“It can be transferred. There is a blank on the back and nothing is written.” Lin You groaned, “But you see, the following sentence is written again, ‘At that time, this card will be automatically issued to the player after entering the copy.’ I suspect it may be the rules of the game in their respective camps.”

She didn’t say that Jian Mingjia didn’t feel it, but she said it really made people think that was the case.

“It’s possible.”

Jian Mingjia stretched out, “Anyway, I’ll know when the time comes. What I can’t wait to see now is what the guys who thought you were in the same camp looked like when you were opposite…”

Thinking about it, she wanted to know how wonderful the picture and their expressions were.

“Eh, I remembered something.” Lin You changed the conversation. “Before entering the game this morning, didn’t you say that Little Geng wanted to tell me something?”

Jian Mingjia’s arms stopped stretching.

“Ah, that ah—”

She paused, as if hesitating to convey it, and finally said, “He has a career.”

Lin You: “Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Yes. Because it’s a good thing, he wanted to tell you by himself.” Jian Mingjia said quietly, “On the day you were gone, he picked up a live coin in the instance we were in. It is probably also because he crammed in knowledge about SCPs and he recognized it. Maybe he was considering that he had picked up the toothbrush before, and he was assigned the ability to be a ‘gold digger’ after he left the instance. It is said that when he acted alone on the site, he relied on the warning given by coins to avoid those dangerous creatures, and he came across a basically harmless toaster and inserted it—it should be because of this that he was embarrassed to mention it to you.”

Lin You said “Huh.”

“What’s the big deal?” she said, “What’s so embarrassing?”

Gold digger…

“Right.”

Jian Mingjia thought of something, “Are you still playing games soon?”

Lin You shook her head.

Unless it was a chance to talk about later, like in “Containment Breach,” the same instance may not have a chance to be queued for the second time. She will definitely need to receive a card after entering, otherwise she will feel bad. But she remembered that tomorrow was the competitive model. According to the gossip on the forum from Jian Mingjia, it was clear that there were a bunch of kaidan waiting.

“Forget it,” her smile was chilling, “I’ll wait for tomorrow.”

Jian Mingjia trembled exaggeratedly.

“That’s OK, I’m going back—the experience bar is almost full, so I’ll see if I can get another level up before tomorrow morning.” She waved her hand, “See you in the game.”

Lin You waved her hand casually, but Mother Lin was no longer so kind. She wanted to leave her to have lunch all the time. Jian Mingjia had an appointment to come back another day, otherwise she wouldn’t leave.

Since she knew it was about urban ghosts, she stayed at home and researched all the information she could find during the whole afternoon and evening. Early the next morning, the alarm clock rang on time. Lin You pressed the alarm and put on the game helmet after washing up.

The familiar blue light flashed in front of her eyes, and she was in a trance for a few seconds before she stepped on the ground again. Lin You was still a little sleepy and couldn’t help but yawn. Before she went to see if the “competitive mode” in the list was bright, she suddenly saw a small red exclamation mark on the side.

Someone sent her a message.

Lin You opened it easily.

Sister You!!!!!!!!

The string of exclamation marks that followed was shocking, and it fully reflected how much the other party’s heart collapsed when he typed this line of words.

Before she could reply, he sent another one.

Are you really on the human side? What should I do if I draw a ghost card?!! Please take it easy on me when the time comes, okay, I can’t eat spicy food!!!!

Lin You: “…”

Geng Qinghe’s brain was really extraordinary. She stared at the news for a long time before she understood the relationship between “take it easy” and “spicy food.” After thinking about it, she simply responded kindly.

It’s okay, I won’t do it.

Geng Qinghe burst into tears of joy on the other side.

Thank you, Sister You!!!!

The next second, another message came.

You should tell Mary Shaw what you said just now. She has been particularly fond of stuffing peppers into other people’s mouths recently.

Geng Qinghe: “…………………………”

Leaning on the screen in his room, he began to doubt life. He saw a new dialog box pop up on the screen.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Just kidding. That’s a rumor, mine is also a ghost card.

It was nothing more than returning to heaven in an instant.

Lin You could almost imagine the appearance of Geng Qinghe on the screen jumping up and down because she received another long string of exclamation marks in a blink of an eye. The other party cheered and promised that he would never drag her back and try his best and help her win the victory, and he will see her in the instance later.

For the remaining few minutes, she waited on the spot until eight o’clock.

Officials have not announced how many people have qualified, but they have also notified a rule in advance while saying that they will not have a live broadcast for the time being, but that they will edit the video after the game.

Players couldn’t line up. Even if they were in the same faction, everyone could only be matched individually.

In the lines of entries that list the game modes, the gray font on the line marked “competitive” suddenly lit up, and Lin You almost clicked it in the next second.

At the same time, the voice of the system description sounded.

YOU HAVE SELECTED THE COMPETITIVE MODE.

IN THE COMPETITIVE MODE, PLAYERS WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO CAMPS, COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER WITH DIFFERENT MISSION GOALS. EVALUATION AND REWARD SETTLEMENT WILL BE BASED ON WHETHER THE PLAYER’S CAMP WINS OR NOT AND THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE. AGREE TO CONTINUE.

Did this need to be said?

MATCHING IS SUCCESSFUL.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENTER THE INSTANCE—”COMING ACROSS DEMONS.”

Lin You closed her eyes on her own initiative, and when the countdown was over, she opened her eyes again. There was already a completely different scene in front of her.

—The inside information that Jian Mingjia said was really true.

This was her first thought.

The sun fell dimly to the west, faded with bright clouds, and the street was also full of red light. But this did not give her a sense of magnificence, but only a trace of coolness climbed up her back.

Because this was a big but empty city.

Unlike the instance of Mary Shaw’s “House of Puppets,” looking around, most of the streets in this city were invisible, but no dust accumulated anywhere. Even standing in front of the shop window, you can clearly see the shadow of yourself reflected in it.

There were packaging bags on the counter, and half of the food was still on the tables in a restaurant far away. It felt like people were still carrying out their lives step by step in the first second, and they evaporated in the next second.

This group of players was stuck at this point in time.

Lin You was someone who had seen the world, and the Cthulhu’s real body appeared in front of her without changing her face and heartbeat, and the empty city was nothing that she couldn’t adapt to.

She also noticed early that when she opened her eyes, there was something extra on her body.

Lin You looked down. As the small print said, the ghost card automatically came to her as soon as she entered the copy.

She remembered her guess and turned the ghost card to the back.

—Of course.

GAME RULES

ONE, THE GAME TIME LIMIT IS FORTY-EIGHT HOURS, AND THE VICTORY OR DEFEAT DEPENDS ON WHETHER ALL THE ENCHANTMENTS OF THE HUMAN SIDE ARE DESTROYED OR NOT, OR ALL THE PLAYERS ARE OUT OF THE GAME. 

SECOND, IN PRINCIPLE, PLAYERS ARE NOT ENCOURAGED TO ATTACK EACH OTHER. IF THE TOKEN REPRESENTING THE IDENTITY (THE GHOST IS A NECKLACE) IS DAMAGED, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED OUT. 

THREE, PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO FIND THE PROPS THAT DESTROY THE ENCHANTMENTS.

FOUR, THE GHOSTS WANDERING IN THE CITY ARE ALL NEUTRAL, BUT ONLY ACCEPT THE PERSUASION OF THE GHOST SIDE, PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

The first two should be public rules, and the latter two were obviously for ghosts. As for the tokens mentioned above—

Lin You touched the front of her neck and drew out a long, thin metal chain with her fingers.

It can only be this so-called “necklace.”

She put the ghost card into the backpack, took out the skull again, and fastened it familiarly.

The skull was still yawning, “Where is this again?”

It also felt that something was wrong in this place, but it was not going to speak arrogantly because it was not clear about the situation.

“I don’t know,” Lin You replied, “Go in and have a look.”

Before he could say anything, she opened the door involuntarily.

Others knew that urban legends were prevalent, and her actions came with consequences. She wished she would run into a ghost.

The breeze of the opening and closing of the door brought up the wind chimes hanging beside the door, and the ethereal sound of jingle bells echoed in the empty shop, which was a bit creepy.

Lin You didn’t care. She looked around and was a little disappointed to see that there was really nothing inside.

The skull didn’t speak a lot recently and did not say anything at this time, paying attention to the movement around it attentively.

“There is a voice,” it said suddenly.

Lin You immediately leaned down when she heard the words.

She raised her ears, and she really heard a little voice of conversation faintly.

“You said…you can find…”

“How can’t…”

The voices were heard only when they were close. There were two men and one woman, three people in total, circling the alley around the corner.

—They were from the human camp.

Lin You made a judgment with a glance. It was not surprising that all three of them had the same red silk rope tied to their wrists.

Just like the “necklace,” it was hard to see what material these silk ropes were made of, so it was not easy to fake.

Lin You moved.

Her movements were extremely slight, but the feeling was strong to the swaying skull. It lowered its voice, “What are you going to do?”

Although she didn’t say it clearly, it faintly felt that things might not be that simple this time.

“Infiltrate of course.”

The news that she saw from the human side had circulated widely on the Internet, and obviously she would use it to inquire.

Just as ghost cards only record the rules of the ghost party, human cards must also have their exclusive intelligence.

Seeing that the three of them were about to pass the door, she glanced at the packing box beside the counter.

The preparation time left for her was less than ten seconds, and Lin You rushed over and opened the door in one go.

“Wait!”

The two men and one woman were obviously taken aback by the sound. When they turned around hurriedly, even though they only saw a single girl, they didn’t dare to relax their vigilance.

Lin You just smiled with the handbook. “Are you also human?”

It may be that they saw the little red that she inadvertently revealed when she raised her hand, but the expressions of the three of them relaxed a little, but it was still restrained.

“Yes,” said the older man, “You are…”

He might have wanted her to prove her identity, but Lin You changed her mind.

“You may have heard of me.”

She smiled and said, “My profession is a summoner.”

Earlier, she heard from Jian Mingjia that she was being discussed a lot, and even the foundation of her ability had been guessed. This time she simply took advantage of it in reverse.

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, the faces of the people on the opposite side changed.

“You—”

Although it was still the same word, the tone is completely different.

The man’s eyes were still a bit suspicious, but the next second Lin You went mute after spreading out the picture book.

Looking around, he saw several names—Yamamura Sadako, Saeki Kayako…

Who else can do this?!

“You’re the one…” The young boy was a little stuttered. “The big, big, big, big shot?”

He was so happy to think about it. She was indeed in their camp!

You can lie down and fly with the boss!

Lin You sighed.

“I accidentally landed here,” she said, “Where are the boundaries?”

The three of them looked at each other, and finally the boy kept talking.

“It’s the four in the north, south, east, and west. We were sent out to find tokens of strength.”

He walked over directly, already thinking about how to sit still like a mountain and eat melons and watch the show, and look at the opposite side of the big shot.

“Or I’ll take you—”

The rest of his words were stuck in his throat.

At this time, Lin You snapped the picture book closed, and the thing on her wrist could be seen in their eyes.

So what was the red silk rope that proved her identity? It was simply a red plastic rope that was randomly torn off from a packing box. At this time, as soon as she let go, it floated to the ground.

Now that she has the information she wants to know—

She tilted her head with a smile, her beautiful wide eyes met the boy’s gaze.

“Sorry—”

Bathed in the shocked eyes of the other three people, Lin You held the ghost card between her fingers and shook it lightly.

“I’m not on your side.” She smiled.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
