Chapter 51 The Strangeness of Not Launching Unprovoked Attacks

A prank with incense? Interesting.

But things didn't seem to be as they imagined.

Someone provided a popular science explanation: "It is said that after lighting the Qingling Incense, it has a protective effect of clearing the mind, calming the spirit, and avoiding bad luck. It's super expensive, ten thousand yuan per stick."

But some people didn't believe it, thinking it was fake.

Meanwhile, Lu Xian discovered that a piece of yellow paper was hidden inside the box.

He took it out and opened it; four characters were written on it in red cinnabar: [Avoid Bad Luck].

It seemed to be the same as what the viewers in the livestream room who knew the situation had said.

However, Lu Xian didn't receive any notification. He secretly thought it must be an ordinary item with no supernatural attributes.

After thanking [Nameless Person: Xu], Lu Xian continued to open the last package of the day.

"The fourth package, and also the last package for today."

"Sent by someone called [This Blade Is A Bit Sweet]."

He opened the package box directly. When he saw what was inside, he was truly unable to laugh or cry this time. What is this...

The livestream room exploded with laughter, exclaiming: [666~] [Hahaha, Brother Lu really needs a supplement.] [Amazing, actually sending super supplements!] [I have a friend who wants to ask, can this really provide a supplement?]

Lu Xian stared at the fourth package, speechless. This blade wasn't sweet and was 'toxic'. They actually sent him an entire box of 'Liuwei Dihuang Pills' and 'Shenbao Tablets'!

A whole box, dozens of bottles! What does this mean? I'd like to ask this viewer friend, what is the meaning of this?!

[It seems Brother Lu's physical weakness is universally acknowledged.] [Hahaha~] [Lu Xian: I'm fierce enough to give each of you a hammer blow.] Everyone joked one after another.

But joking aside, after opening the packages, it was time for business.

"Today's packages were quite interesting."

"Thank you to all the viewer friends who participated in sending packages today."

"Thank you for your participation and for finding joy in it, ღ( ´･ᴗ･` ) love you~"

After expressing his thanks, Lu Xian put away the packages from this time. He only held the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber in his hand.

"Time to head out."

He stood up, went to open the living room curtains, and looked outside through the window for a while.

Strangely, this time it didn't trigger the eerie rule: [Do not look out the window at night].

"Is it a fake eerie rule?"

After finding nothing else, he dragged his suitcase and walked out of Room 404.

Bang~ He closed the door. The dripping sound inside Room 404 rang out again, and a greenish human face appeared on the living room glass window...

At this moment, the sensor light in the hallway at the door of Room 404 turned on. Looking at the narrow hallway and the dim light, Lu Xian thought of the previous eerie rule, which roughly meant: [Do not linger in the stairways of old buildings for a long time at night.]

"Do you remember one thing?"

"When that woman came up earlier, her footsteps were very loud, and then she coughed on purpose."

"Perhaps this is a way to deal with the eerie rule?"

Not everyone had an A-Class item for self-defense like him, allowing them to fear no ghosts. After all, he was also testing things out when he first started. You have to know that this is the [Eerie Rule Survival Space]. A slight carelessness would lead to elimination!

Besides him, there were two D-Class Survival Challengers included this time. To them, ghosts were very difficult to deal with and almost impossible to kill.

Therefore, ordinary Survival Challengers not only had to complete the exploration tasks here, but also needed to find various ways to cope with and avoid ghosts in order to survive. Only then would they have a chance to survive 15 days in Madman Street!

And because Lu Xian had 'struck it rich' in the previous promotion survival challenge, he had exchanged for some incredible treasures. If he didn't have these items, his start probably wouldn't have been so easy.

Now he not only had the defensive anti-stab gold chain, but also had a wild goose feather demon suppressing saber specifically for hacking monsters in his hand. As long as he didn't play recklessly and die, he had enough to slaughter his way through Madman Street!

Of course, as long as he wanted to, he could play recklessly, after all, he had a Second Life. But when it came to trump cards, it was natural to keep them if possible. Otherwise, his background would be fully exposed throughout the livestream.

In case someone targeted him with malicious intent, he could drop dead at any moment. Just like the previous high-ranking player, God Qin, who was targeted and ambushed by King Tang of the Black Mountain Alliance.

Lu Xian carried his suitcase in one hand and the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber in the other as he walked downstairs. His footsteps were very light, and he walked very slowly. He seemed to be deliberately testing something.

He took a full minute to walk down the stairs, which would normally take just a few seconds. Even the sensor light in the hallway didn't react, and the stairwell was incredibly eerie. It was surprisingly quiet, and he couldn't hear any movement from the residents here.

Until he reached the second floor and was about to head towards the corner of the first floor, footsteps suddenly rang out on the stairs on the third floor above him. But the sensor light upstairs didn't turn on!

The footsteps seemed to be getting closer and closer, coming from the third floor towards the second floor. Lu Xian stopped in his tracks. But those eerie footsteps didn't stop!

"Ahem~" Lu Xian suddenly made a sound, coughing dryly. The hallway sensor light lit up accordingly. The footsteps also disappeared.

Then Lu Xian tried to make his footsteps heavier, made an obvious dry cough, and walked towards the first floor. Afterwards, he didn't hear those eerie footsteps.

He arrived at the first floor safe and sound, walked out of the subsidized housing building, and came into a small alley.

"I think I've figured out a way to deal with an eerie rule." Lu Xian said slowly. But he discovered there was no reward.

[666, I figured it out too.] [I thought the Streamer was going to 'fish' for a ghost to kill.] [In an eerie survival challenge, who doesn't think about how to escape first? Who would think about actively killing a ghost.] The bullet comments flooded in.

Under the confused gazes of the crowd, Lu Xian actually walked back into that narrow, old stairwell. Then he stood there quietly waiting for something. The crowd understood.

Soon. Lu Xian deliberately violated the eerie rule here, and the footsteps from upstairs came again! Tap, tap, tap~ In the darkness, the footsteps got closer and closer. The ghost had already arrived beside Lu Xian.

However. What puzzled everyone was that Lu Xian deliberately stood quietly in the darkness and waited for five minutes. The source of the eerie footsteps remained, seemingly circling around Lu Xian. It didn't leave.

The viewers in the livestream room were quite scared at first, but as they listened to the footsteps, they felt something wasn't right. The ghost didn't seem to be actively attacking Lu Xian! It was as if it was deliberately making footsteps to scare Lu Xian.

[Why does it feel like this ghost is a coward?] [I don't think it's cowardice, it should be that type of ghost specifically meant to scare people, with no harm.] [What's so scary about this?] [If you're walking down the stairs late at night with no lights, in pitch black, and suddenly there are footsteps following you, aren't you afraid?] The livestream room was full of discussion.

But Lu Xian had already drawn the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber and quickly slashed all around him. Strangely, the footsteps remained. And he didn't receive any notification saying he had killed a ghost.

"Not nearby?" "Or is the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber ineffective?" Lu Xian frowned inwardly. But this ghost neither disappeared nor attacked, and the anti-stab gold chain didn't react either. Could this ghost really be purely meant to scare people?

Suddenly. He coughed dryly. The stairwell sensor light turned on. Only then did the footsteps disappear. "How strange..." Lu Xian was puzzled in his heart.

He had thought that if he lured the ghost out, he would counter-kill it. He had lured it out. But he didn't expect that the ghost he encountered this time wouldn't actively attack people?! But who would have thought that the ghost this time would be like this. If it were any other Survival Challenger, they would have run away scared long ago; who would dare to wait for the ghost to attack them!

Just when everyone was puzzled. Lu Xian's phone rang. Lu Simin was calling. Seeing this. Lu Xian had to suppress the doubts in his heart. When he picked up the call. He put away the wild goose feather demon suppressing saber and once again walked out of the No. 36 subsidized housing building safe and sound. Perhaps he could learn more about the situation in Madman Street from Lu Simin.
