I Wasn't Born Lucky

The radio equipment began to hum, and the sound was like the feeble whine of an old man with a mouthful of phlegm in his mouth when he was struggling to die. It was very uncomfortable to listen to.

Lin Qili inserted a piece of pure music as written in the manual, and then said to the microphone on the main console: "Welcome to Late Night Radio, I am today's host, I am very happy to meet you, now let We listen to the first call."

Because she didn't know whether the first caller was a person or a ghost, Lin Qili's hand that clicked the call trembled slightly, but this did not damage her accuracy, and soon they received the first call.

"Hey, host, can you hear me?"

It was a male voice, a little hoarse, and it was played quite clearly through the microphone throughout the office.

Sounds... like a normal person.

Lin Qili breathed a sigh of relief, and she responded: "I can hear it very clearly."

The husky man said through the phone: "That's good, hoo, host, can you listen to me?"

"Okay, this is the meaning of late night radio." Lin Qili softened her voice, "What do you want to say?"

The man was a little out of breath for some reason, he panted and said, "Hey, I...I want to tell you a story, do you know that there is a game called 'Tricking Ghosts'?"

The game of recruiting ghosts is related to ghosts and gods.

Lin Qili's spirit tensed again: "I haven't heard of it, can you be more specific?"

The man said: "The game of tricking ghosts was at midnight. Standing in a dark alley, one person walked towards his own shadow, calling his own name while walking, shouting thirteen times, and he could see two shadows. One of them is the summoned ghost."

"Phew, I tried this game, just last week..."

"This game was told to me by my brother. He told me that the summoned ghosts can fulfill one of my wishes—yes, I have a wish. I want my ex-wife to remarry me. Host, do you have any? What wish do you want to fulfill?"

Lin Qili smiled wryly: "My wish is to live in peace."

"Phew, then our wishes are different. I...I love my ex-wife very much. We are classmates in junior high school. I was very humble in junior high school and was often bullied. She always helped me secretly. Later we got married, but Gradually, she disliked me for being poor, cowardly, and worthless. She took her daughter and left me, refused to answer my phone calls, and cut off all contact between us. In order to get her back, I followed this trick game, Sure enough, a second shadow appeared."

"I told it my wish and it didn't respond to me, huh, it disappeared. I was disappointed at first, pretty disappointed, and I went home and everything was normal, but then something weird happened in my house."

"It... seems to come home with me. When I get home, I like to grab a bottle of beer first, huh, and drink it in one gulp. But that day I opened the beer and went to answer my brother's phone, but when I came back Then, I found out... that bottle of beer was empty."

After the man spoke, the panting became more and more serious. Lin Qili was afraid of missing some details, so she had to interrupt him: "Sorry, what are you doing?"

The other party responded: "Ah, yes, I am going upstairs, and I will try to control it."

"Anyway, at first I thought I had made a mistake, so I threw the beer into the trash can and opened another bottle. After drinking the beer and watching the game, I went to bed, and I fell asleep. When I was confused, I turned over to the left and hugged something."

Lin Qili clenched her fingers tightly.

The audience was still narrating: "I... have embraced a black shadow, but... there is no one else in my house except myself! When I opened my eyes to confirm, it disappeared."

"That black shadow is cold and sticky, as if it has a layer of scales."

"I was so scared, I was shaking, I couldn't sleep. Until the next morning, I had to go to work after staying up all night, but when I went out, I seemed to see a black shadow flashing in my house again. And pass."

"I didn't dare to think about it at the time, so I went to work in a hurry. When I got off work, I thought of the dark shadow at home again. I didn't dare to go home, so I found a random friend and said to watch a football game with him, let him and I go home."

"I went home in a very anxious mood, and asked my friend to push the door first, but there was no one in the house, as if it was my illusion in the morning. I told my friend about it, but my friend laughed at me I was wrong, and I comforted myself in this way, how can there be ghosts in this world? Maybe the shadow of the day is also due to the misalignment of the light."

"My friend left after ten o'clock that day. After he left, I was busy cleaning up the messy table, but just as I went downstairs to throw away the garbage and was about to enter the door, I saw that black shadow... entered my bedroom."

The man heard that he was not panting at all when he was speaking now. He seemed to be standing somewhere and paused deliberately: "Host, can you understand how I felt at that time?"

Lin Qili: "Yes, quite capable."

For reincarnators like them, it is more than capable, it is simply empathy.

Kudo sat closest to Lin Qili. He was lying on the table with a piece of paper in front of him, and he was frantically recording the story told by the No.1 audience on the paper.

Xiao Li was closest to the door of the office. He propped his elbows on the chair and listened to the story nonchalantly with his face in his hands.

Shen Mizhi didn't sit down, he leaned against the wall and looked at him openly.

The male listener continued: "I don't know what I was thinking at that time. I was extremely frightened, but I didn't dare to run away, so I could only move into the bedroom bit by bit, trying to see what was inside..."

"This time, I saw it, and it didn't hide from me—I saw it was imitating my appearance, sticking its head out of the bedroom bit by bit, and meeting my eyes."

The reincarnated people can almost imagine the scene at that time: in the dark bedroom, strange shadows, and exactly the same movements.

"Until then, I didn't see what it looked like. It looked like a four-legged lizard, with a black body and a very long tail. After seeing me, a look of excitement appeared on its face. .”

"I was so scared that I couldn't move my feet. I almost peed in fear. I could only watch it crawl out of my bedroom and slowly approach me."

"Can you guess the ending, host?"

Lin Qili has a bad ending in her heart. When ordinary people encounter ghosts, how can they escape?This first listener, there is a great possibility... is a ghost!

Lin Qili didn't answer him, and the male audience laughed: "The ending is that it bit off my head, and I became one with it. It was a wonderful feeling, I could feel the blackness of my vision It was excruciatingly painful, and I could also feel... the delicious taste of the head entering the mouth of 'my', that taste, I can't forget it until now."

"This is my story, hosts, in order to repay you for listening to my story, can you please turn around?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qili stood up from her chair in an instant——

Because of this sentence, it didn't come from the phone, but from the office door!

All the reincarnators in the station office suddenly looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a face on the unlocked glass door.

That face seemed to want to see the inside from the outside, it was pressed tightly, the nose was squeezed to the left, leaving greedy saliva on the glass.

"I'm going upstairs..."

——At this time, Lin Qili suddenly remembered what the first listener said at the beginning.

He was on the stairs leading to the fourteenth floor from the first moment he connected to the radio communication!

Just when the live broadcast of the radio station started, being stared at by such a ghost made the reincarnators feel uneasy. Besides, as they analyzed before, in this closed office, once the way is blocked, the only option is to jump out of the window. This is an option—and this is the fourteenth floor.

Chu He leaned towards the window subconsciously.

The rather bleak moonlight lined by neon shines in from the window, and the frost is sprinkled all over the ground, like the face of a dead man.

"It's useless, I saw you...I have already remembered your faces! And...you look so delicious."

The ghost outside the glass door drooled.

The glass door was not locked, but for some reason, the ghost just looked at everyone's faces through the door and never came in.

Xiao Li walked towards the door, his action caught Kudo's attention, he frowned imperceptibly, and thought that he had never heard the name "Hercule" among the reincarnations, but he could live to the current reincarnation How could the author be so reckless?Doesn't he have to be the first to die?

Ye Zeqing noticed his friend's expression, he arched his shoulder to attack him: "What expression do you have?"

Kudo pushed his glasses: "Is Hercule going to die? Is he really a veteran? Is he a newcomer to the family that your grandma asked you to bring? Let me tell you, for a newcomer with this kind of qualification, it's better to give up as soon as possible."

Ye Zeqing sighed: "No, you don't know anything about Hercule."

Xiao Li had already arrived at the door of the glass door, he pushed open the glass door to the right, allowing the ghost lying on the door to escape.

Xiao Li looked at him: "Why don't you come in and have a look, this way you can see more clearly."

The ghost outside the door: "..."

——He had never heard such a strange request to die.

In fact, he really wanted to satisfy the other party, but he looked at the calm Xiao Li in front of him, and he always felt that something was wrong.

... Obviously he is the ghost, right?

Why is the person in front of him not only not afraid of him, but there are two people looking at him with compassion in their eyes, instead of the panic and fear he thought?

The scene was deadlocked.

The ghost seemed to be salivating at the reincarnators, but it just refused to come in.

Is it...

Kudo relaxed the frown between his brows. Could it be that Hercule did this because he saw clearly the fact of his life?

The ghost will start killing after the prompt of survival is given.

This is why most dungeon worlds will give plot characters and opening CGs. Quests will often put hints of survival in the plot characters’ death-death actions, but reincarnations often don’t understand it all at once, and need more clues to speculate from it. tell the truth.

But now it is obvious that only through the first ghost call, the hint of survival has not been given yet, so this ghost is like the opening scare of the kind of ghost movie, to scare the reincarnated people, and it is not yet time to officially kill.

Kudo (thought he) had figured out this link, and he said in an admiring tone: "Your friend is really courageous."

Even if you see clearly that ghosts don't kill people, it's pretty good to have the courage to face ghosts like this.

But then, Kudo looked at the scene at the glass door, he was silent for a moment, took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, put them back on the bridge of his nose, and what caught his eyes was the scene——

Xiao Li took a step forward, but the ghost took a step back.

Kudo:? ? ?

Is this role... reversed?Knowing that ghosts won't take the initiative to kill people and open the door is fine, why do they have to push forward now?

Xiao Li had already stepped out of the office and came to the dark corridor: "How did you know the phone number of this radio station?"

The ghost froze for a moment, and he couldn't help taking a step back.

Xiao Li followed a step.

A strand of hair slowly extended out of his pocket, winding towards the ankle of the first listener.

Since this person insists on courting death, it is better to fulfill him!

The ghost's shadow slowly stretched in the corridor, and his face changed from a normal person's to a black shadow, which looked a bit like the four-legged lizard he had described on the phone.

He poked his head out, approached Xiao Li in the same posture, and slowly opened his mouth, intending to bite off the opponent's head.

The person in front of him looks thin and tender, and must taste delicious. He should taste it carefully and slowly, don't eat it all at once, let's lick it first.

The black shadow stretched out a slender tongue, his tongue really looked like a lizard, with two forked sections at the tip, and a foul smell, swept towards Xiao Li's face——

Then there was a strong grip on his tongue.

Immediately, another hand picked up a stapler, turned his tongue in a circle, and stapled it together.

"Uuuuuu-"

It hurts ah ah ah ah ah!

Lizard Sombra wanted to cry!

Where did you get the stapler? !

His eyes protruded outwards, with bloodshot eyes spreading on them, and he looked at Xiao Li in disbelief.

Xiao Li shook the stapler in his hand at him. It was taken from the pile of sundries piled up in the corridor. There were not only staplers, but also office tools such as mouse, books, and staple removers.

fuck.

The ghost covered his mouth.

Kudo watched this scene, he couldn't help touching his tongue: "Old Yan, how do you feel?"

Ye Zeqing's dead fish eyes: "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask that black shadow on the opposite side how it feels."

Kudo asked curiously, "What did you sense?"

Ye Zeqing: "In addition to the pain, there is also...he regained the feeling of being bullied at school."

Kudo: "........."

Is it possible that I still miss it?

The black shadow of the lizard was in pain, and he instinctively wanted to attack, but the ghost that merged with him was stimulated. He was cowardly by nature, and his first instinct when encountering such a thing was to run away.

Therefore, when Xiao Li thought he would attack again, he was instructing Tan Li to get the nail remover, but the next moment, the ghost that looked like a black shadow of a ferocious lizard turned around and ran, rushing up and down the stairs. For a while, he just crawled around and disappeared in the exit of the safe passage in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Li: "......??"

Careless.

...I originally wanted to dismantle it for that guy.

This is great, I didn't even ask the original question.

Xiao Li scratched his face, he threw the stapler back into the pile of debris, returned to the radio station office, and closed the door: "Let's continue."

Lin Qili looked at him, Will looked at him, Kudo also looked at him——

Xiao Li saw that there was no one in front of the console, and the phone was already ringing, so he sat in front of the radio, put on the headset, and connected the call: "Then let me do it."

The call is connected.
