After Genderswap Reincarnation, I Raised the Strongest Player
Chapter 69

Almost as soon as this idea flashed through his mind, there was a sudden sound in front of him.

Looking up, a landscape photo hanging on the corridor wall suddenly fell off and hit the ground. This scene immediately froze Ling Mo's determined expression.

Xia Xinyan reacted quickly, and immediately turned on the walkie-talkie.

"A painting fell from our side just now, did you replace anything in the car?"

"The painting fell off? This is a supernatural event... Let me see."

After a pause, Haonan continued.

"The ambient temperature hasn't dropped, right? The flashlight didn't flash? That's a warning sign, which means ghosts are nearby... Oh, by the way, let me take a look, the activity level is 4, there's a chance, can you replace a way to lure her out?"

"How?"

"...No idea."

"..."

Ling Mo also came back to his senses at this moment, tried to calm himself down, turned on the walkie-talkie and asked.

"Didn't you just said how to make the ghost appear? Enrage her? Or what?"

"It's just... Well, I can't say, you can call her out by calling her name, and it's generally useless to say other things. But provoking... I mean, it seems to be possible, but I don't know how to do it. "

Ling Mo thought for a moment, then asked.

"Will the sheer volume of the voice make her feel annoyed?"

"Yes, but the voice usually has to be continuous. Are you going to do stand-up comedy?"

"No, there are other ways."

Ling Mo made mental preparations for a few seconds, then raised his left hand, and started rubbing his abilities.

He was still afraid.

But in order to show off in front of Xia Xinyan, he went all out.

Seeing this, Xia Xinyan also took out a copper coin, ready to be attacked by ghosts.

A few minutes later, Ling Mo successfully materialized something, and the item that appeared in his hand was... An extremely old phone.

This thing is the most high-tech item he can manifest now.

However, he can customize the various files and the like inside.

So...

"Let me take a look..."

Turning up the phone's volume to the maximum, Ling Mo searched the list for a while, then found a satisfactory sound, and immediately clicked OK.

In the next moment, the mobile phone and its simple but shocking loudspeaker played a popular TOP 1 square dance song with a strong rhythm.¹

Xia Xinyan was almost stunned.

"Heh, I don't believe you can't disturb her like this."

Ling Mo lowered his face and stared at the corridor ahead.

"Come on! Come out and face me! Bold monster! Hurry up!"

Xia Xinyan: "..."

Although she knew that he was herself, but... Looks a little stupid.

And why did he insist on choosing this kind of song...

It destroyed the atmosphere of terror completely.

After a while, the ghost didn't appear, but the fat man's horrifying voice came from the intercom.

"Fuck, why did I faintly hear a square dance music?! The ghost here still talks about fashion?!"

"...It's me."

"Did you play it? Where did you get the player... Oh, I forgot you are a hand-rubbing inventor."

The fat man hissed.

"Can you lower it? We can hear it on the first floor, damn you don't know how frightening is the sound of a square dance suddenly coming from such a big gloomy house."

"If I make it smaller, there will be no..."

"Wait! The activity level is 10! It's level 10!"

Haonan's loud voice instantly interrupted everyone's words.

"Old Ling! Be careful!! She's about to start hunting!!"

Ling Mo was startled, and subconsciously wanted to turn off the song, but the flashlights of the two suddenly flickered, and when they turned on again, a white figure suddenly appeared in the empty corridor ahead, with disheveled hair, and couldn't see her face clearly at all.

And every time the flashlight flickered, she would get closer to the two of them. In just a few seconds, she was almost in front of them.

Ling Mo was dumbfounded.

As if he had lost control of his body, his muscles were tense, and he couldn't even make a sound. He just stared at the ghost getting closer and closer until it was less than one meter away from the two of them...

Then a burst of golden light suddenly came out in front of the two of them, causing the female ghost to let out a scream, and then disappeared into mist, and all the surrounding supernatural phenomena also subsided.

After that, other people's noisy voices came from the intercom.

Haonan: "The activity level has dropped! It's level 4! Did she leave?! Did you take a picture of her? Why don't you talk?"

Fatty: "Hello?! Old Ling! Is Old Ling still alive?! Make a sound! I'm scared!"

Wen Mou: "Haonan, have their paper figurines been burned? It shouldn't be, don't they have three lives? Old Ling? Ling Mo? Say something!"

The noisy voices finally brought Ling Mo back to his soul a little bit, and when his brain gradually cleared up, he also regained his attention to the surrounding situation.

Only then did he realize that he had sat down on the ground at some point, perhaps because he was frightened just now. And Xia Xinyan was holding his arm before, so she didn't have time to let go, so she was carried along with him... And fell into his arms.

The sudden burst of golden light just now was because she blocked the ghost's attack with a copper coin.

Not only that, after being dragged down, Xia Xinyan took out the camera and took a picture with the only hand that was free in the short two seconds when the ghost rushed over, and then took out the copper coin calmly and defended them.

After all, she is a person with too much experience. When faced with this kind of danger, the most taboo thing is to get dazed.

The female ghost didn't appear close to them at the beginning, which is the reaction time for the players in the game. As long as they can seize this opportunity, the female ghost is not difficult.

Now it seems that the difficulty of this dungeon should be more psychological fear.

But... With her strength improved, she can still guide Ling Mo according to the way she used to, but she really doesn't know how to teach him to overcome the psychological fear.

She is not a psychiatrist, nor has she learned psychology or anything like that.

Sure enough, the courage to pretend is so weak...

Looking back at Ling Mo, she said softly.

"Are you all right?"

Ling Mo paused, he didn't know where the courage came from, or it might be because he hadn't turned his head around, he suddenly made a move that he would never dare to do under normal circumstances—— hugged Xia Xinyan.²

Xia Xinyan was taken aback.

"I'm sorry."

Ling Mo's voice was a little hoarse, with a bit of self-blame.

"I said I would protect you."

"Ah... It's okay."

Xia Xinyan was a little at a loss for a while.

"Aren't we still fine?"

Only in this aspect, she has no experience in dealing with it.

After all, she spent most of her previous life traveling alone, and in her memory, she hardly ever comforted others.

Even if she was familiar with Ling Mo, at this moment, she didn't know how to speak.

But... Ling Mo didn't want her to comfort him either.

It should be said that the more she comforted him, the more uncomfortable he was.

Especially when he realized that he was the one protected by Xia Xinyan just now.

It's fine if it's in front of someone else, but in front of Xia Xinyan...

It was the last thing he wanted to happen.

Not only did he feel ashamed, but also because in front of his girlfriend, he appeared useless.

Even afraid of ghosts, how can I protect her?

He wanted to calm down for a moment.

Holding Xia Xinyan in his arms, he felt the warmth of her body, and her delicate fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. It smelled good, and it seemed to have some kind of magical power, which gradually calmed him down.

It also made him fall into intoxication unconsciously.

For a moment, he wanted to just hug her like this for the rest of his life.

But the self-control he is proud of made him quickly adjust his mentality.

"Thank you."

He slowly let go of Xia Xinyan, his voice was very soft.

"I will definitely protect you, I pledge my life."

Xia Xinyan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes."

It's a bit weird.

She found that she began to fail to understand her former self.
