Weird Game: I Use Mystery to Fight Mystery

Chapter 9 News of the Contractors

"Bang!"

The axe blade emerged from the blood-stained sack.

With a single swing, the blood-stained sack shattered instantly.

That's normal. The suppressive effect of the bloodstained sack can only deal with ordinary evil monsters at most, but the strength of the lantern monster is almost at the fierce monster level, so it's normal that it can't trap it.

However, it's already quite impressive that they've been able to hold them off for so long.

A bloodstained sack can be traded for a ghost lamp; it's a good deal.

"Humans!"

After breaking through the suppression of the blood-stained sack.

The lantern suddenly turned its head and looked angrily at Ye Tian.

Then, wielding his giant axe, he charged straight at Ye Tian. His figure, about two meters tall, moved with the speed of a giant bear in attack mode.

"die!"

Damn it.

This is the first time I've been robbed by a human.

If word gets out, the other ghosts will laugh themselves to death.

Unfortunately.

Time is up.

Seeing the Lantern Ghostly figure enraged, Ye Tian simply smiled and then left the instance in an instant.

"Bang!"

The giant axe landed exactly where Ye Tian had just been standing.

"Humans!!!"

The attack missed its mark.

The lantern's eerie roar sounded even more furious.

"Pfft!"

No one knows who it was, but some eerie creature in the haunted house couldn't help but suddenly chuckle.

The main problem is that this scene is just so ridiculous.

"Um?"

The lantern-carrying eerie creature, already furious, suddenly turned its head sharply upon hearing the voice.

Inside the haunted house, this lantern seemed to reign supreme, almost like a tyrant.

Not knowing where to vent his anger, he hoisted the giant axe onto his shoulder with one hand, carried the lantern with a strange, sullen face, and walked into the haunted house. It was obvious what was going on.

The other strange occurrences in the haunted house are about to cause more trouble.

,,,

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

The moment Ye Tian left the instance, he stumbled and collapsed to the ground.

He was breathing in the air deeply.

The ghost lamps all fell to the ground as a result.

"Click! Click!"

The ticking of the pointer came again. It had just been suppressed, and now the power of the Time Trick had been forcibly used, causing it to show signs of revival.

Fortunately, Ye Tian is still able to keep his composure at this stage.

"It seems we need to try containing another anomaly."

The power of time manipulation is indeed useful, but it also carries dangers.

Anyway, the enhanced Back Opening Ghost Gate can suppress three ghosts, and with the Time Ghost, it can suppress two more ghosts.

We can't keep relying on the tricks of time.

We need more backup plans.

"call!"

After a while, Ye Tian let out a long sigh of relief.

Supporting himself on his arms, he got up from the ground and instantly picked up the eerie lamp again.

Upon closer inspection, there appears to be another eerie creature, howling and struggling within the eerie headlamp.

"good!"

Although we lost a bloodstained sack, it was nothing compared to the harvest.

The flame of the Ghost Lamp does not burn indefinitely; the material required for its combustion is the supernatural, whether human or supernatural. There are many ways to suppress the supernatural.

However, there are few methods that can kill the bizarre.

The eerie head lamp is one of them.

Once the light goes out, it means that the eeriness within the lantern has also been burned away.

After returning it to your inventory.

Ye Tian found the electric scooter parked by the roadside, turned the key, and slowly drove home.

,,,

I don't plan to go out tonight.

Ye Tian opted to order takeout, but unfortunately, orders that usually get accepted instantly now take a long time to find a rider to accept them. After a while, there probably won't be any riders accepting orders at all.

While eating takeout.

Ye Tian took out his phone and refreshed the messages.

As before, the internet is mostly filled with news and discussions about the bizarre dungeon.

but.

Because of the statement made by the mysterious investigation team representing the Federation of Humanity, many people's emotions were somewhat calmed down.

At least for now.

The directions everyone discussed were all quite positive.

There were negative comments, but not many.

soon.

"Um?"

Ye Tian's attention suddenly stopped on a post, and his brows furrowed.

The supernatural are not humanity's enemies, they are our friends; the Contractors are humanity's future.

Contractor?

It appeared so early?

Unexpectedly, first the mysterious investigation team was established ahead of schedule, and now even something like contractors has appeared ahead of schedule.

Calm down.

Ye Tian clicked on the post.

The content wasn't complicated; it was just a self-introduction followed by a description of encountering a strange creature in the dungeon, but the creature didn't attack him.

Instead, they entered into a contract with him.

In addition to their own talent, the opponent can also use strange powers.

"Holy crap, is this for real?"

"Can humans use bizarre powers?"

"Didn't it take off?"

"Damn it, I want to try it too!"

"Is a contract really possible?"

『...』

As expected.

The comments below the post included both questions and expectations regarding the matter.

after all.

With such overwhelming power before them, who would want to refuse? Who could resist the urge to refuse?

Even more so.

Ye Tian also noticed that even under his previous posts, some people were asking if the information about the Contractors was true, and whether humans could use the power of the supernatural by signing a contract with it.

"..."

Looking at these messages.

After thinking for a while, Ye Tian posted a new message.

[Strange, cunning, treacherous, bloodthirsty, cruel, and untrustworthy.]

[The Contractors are not equal; the supernatural is the dominant force. Overusing the power of the supernatural will only lead to succumbing to it and being assimilated by it.]

Contractors exist.

Humans can indeed use bizarre powers through contracts with the uncanny.

but.

This comes at a price. The supernatural doesn't offer its power unconditionally. Some supernatural beings will ask humans to provide their souls, flesh and blood, or other random things.

Even if I don't want anything.

Strange forces continue to influence humanity.

Being assimilated into the supernatural is actually the easiest ending; some even end up as servants of the supernatural.

That was true back then too.

When the news of the Contractors first appeared, it did indeed cause quite a stir and uproar among many humans. It took a long time for everyone to realize that it was all just a scam.

By the time they realized it, the human population on Earth had shrunk by nearly half.

As for why Ye Tian knew so much about it...

Very simple.

Because Ye Tian had also been a contractor for a period of time, no one can resist the temptation of powerful strength, including Ye Tian himself.

In order to break free from this contract.

Ye Tian really suffered a great loss.

It wasn't an exaggerated adjective; it was the literal meaning of the words—that kind of excruciating pain is still unforgettable to this day.

After posting this thread.

Ye Tian reopened the post promoting the Contractor news and posted a message at the bottom.

"If you really think being a Contractor is good, then why don't you tell me what conditions you agreed to in order to become one?"
