Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 11 - 10: Controlling Ghosts

Blood started pouring from Qiqi's seven apertures. At the same time, blood seeped continuously from her skin. Thick, dark, viscous blood dripped from her cheeks and hair tips, quickly pooling on the ground where she stood.

The previously partially manifested female ghost was gradually transitioning to full manifestation.

Not long ago, on the bleachers at the edge of this playground, when she first began to manifest, Ye Jiu had kissed her, timely preventing her manifestation from completing.

But now, Ye Jiu was busy with another woman in the corner, kissing her and completely ignored Qiqi's presence.

That made her complete manifestation become unusually smooth.

Sharp canine teeth grew in her mouth, protruding from her lips, and claws sprouted from her ten fingers, like sharp blades.

Her entire skin turned bluish-purple, and a faintly visible circular pattern appeared on her neck, resembling a yin-yang diagram at first glance.

[No way, did you see the pattern on Qiqi's neck?]

[Yes, clearly.]

[Is that... a ghost controlling pattern?]

[What the heck, Qiqi actually has a ghost controlling pattern?!]

[This one-in-a-million situation actually happened to the host, is the host the legendary chosen one?]

[Perhaps the situation will take a turn.]

[Could this be the key to breaking the impasse?]

[You're overthinking it, my man; ghost controlling patterns aren't something that can be used on a whim. It requires strategy completion. They haven't even completed the first task; what do you think the host's strategy completion is? 15%? 20%? 30%? At most, no more than 30%, with such low completion, it's not usable.]

[That's true, it's a pity. If Qiqi had fully manifested in the third task, the host might still have hope.]

[Forget those pointless thoughts. If I were the host, I'd immediately buy a "safe bubble" now to ensure survival.]

[I agree, quickly purchase ten "safe bubbles" in bulk and stash them in the backpack for emergencies.]

[Cloud player? Have you ever really been through an instance? The host is only lv1 now, the lowest-level player, can only buy one "safe bubble" at a time. They haven't unlocked the equipment repository, which can only be activated after the first settlement, so it must be used immediately after purchasing. Stash ten, wishful thinking.]

[Plus, the "safe bubble" only lasts for 30 minutes, the school beauty is still sitting in the infirmary crying alone, who knows how long her pheromones will last, what use is 30 minutes of protection if it goes on all night?]

[The key is now, besides the little hot pepper and Qiqi, there's also Big Bear. Big Bear is a four-and-a-half-star rare female ghost; she ignores the "safe bubble." Even if the host uses a "safe bubble," it can't stop her.]

[So, what should we do now?]

[No solution?]

[No solution]

[It's over]

......

......

While kissing the little hot pepper, Wen Nan carefully monitored the movements of the other two behind him.

The coldness around Aunt Mei growing increasingly, frost forming on the ground beneath her feet.

The frost spread rapidly, threatening to freeze Wen Nan's back.

Meanwhile, the little hot pepper in Wen Nan's arms, although not spitting fire anymore due to the kiss, her burning body felt like a small furnace pressing hot against his chest, exerting significant pressure on his body.

At the same time, Qiqi, dripping with blood, walked slowly towards him, leaving a long, dark blood trail in her wake.

As Qiqi approached, the little hot pepper sensed the threat, becoming restless once again. Although her lips were sealed and she couldn't spit fire, hot flames gathered in her palms ready to explode.

Qiqi's hollow eyeless gaze fixed on the flames in the little hot pepper's palms. Then, raising her arm, her five sharp fingernails, resembling the claws of a ghost, ready to stab in the direction of Wen Nan and the little hot pepper.

Boom—

Swoosh—

Crack—

Now is the time!

Wen Nan suddenly released the little hot pepper in his arms, turning swiftly to dive towards Qiqi.

He wrapped his arms tightly around Qiqi, and they rolled on the ground, finally stopping after several tumbles.

Behind them, the flames from the little hot pepper collided head-on with the piercing cold from Lin Xue Mei, the clash of cold and heat creating a strong shockwave that reached Wen Nan and Qiqi.

Wen Nan shielded Qiqi with his body, protecting her from the external impact.

Behind, the clash of hot and cold made a sizzling sound, and then silence fell around.

... Did it succeed?

Did the two behind, the cold and the heat, just cancel each other out?

With his hands propped on either side of Qiqi's head, Wen Nan turned to look back. Yet... what he saw was nothing like he had expected. It was the complete opposite!

The ice and fire didn't clash but rather simultaneously surged toward Wen Nan and Qiqi.

Having no other choice, Wen Nan could only call out to the system in his mind: [9527].

9527: [I'm here]

Wen Nan: [Enter the store, buy a safety bubble]

9527: [Alright. The safety bubble has been purchased for you, now equipping—]

Wen Nan: [No, not for me. Put it on Qiqi]

9527: ...

[Your current account level is lv1, you can only purchase one safety bubble. Are you sure you want to use this equipment on the trial area character Qiqi?]

Wen Nan: [Yes, hurry up]

9527: [Alright. Safety bubble activated]

As soon as the system's voice faded, a layer of multicolored sheen appeared around Qiqi.

Lying on the ground, Qiqi's previously hollow eyes now had a hint of puzzlement. She asked hoarsely, "Why... do this?"

Wen Nan caressed her blood-stained cheek, smiling, "I told you, I chose you. Trust me, I won't let anything harm you."

With that, Wen Nan stood up and walked towards Lin Xue Mei.

The little hot pepper harbored hostility towards Qiqi. If Wen Nan did not intervene, the little hot pepper might harm Qiqi. So he had to put a "safe bubble" on Qiqi.

But the "safe bubble" only worked on four-star and below; Aunt Mei had four and a half stars. If she lost it with Qiqi, the "safe bubble" couldn't guarantee Qiqi's safety.

Thus, Wen Nan decided to tackle Aunt Mei himself.

A four-and-a-half-star high-difficulty strategy target...

How much hope of success is there? Wen Nan had no certainty himself.

But he had to toughen up and try.

With that thought, Wen Nan tightened his collar and stepped into the cold wind.

However, he had just taken two steps—

9527: [Congratulations, your strategy completion with Qiqi has surpassed 90%!]

9527: [It has been detected that Qiqi is an extremely rare controllable character with a level 1 control pattern. When a player reaches a 90% strategy completion with a character, the pattern can be activated.]

9527: [Would you like to activate the pattern and make Qiqi your exclusive character?]
