Hide-and-Seek [Infinite]

[Not recommended for subscription!] Shen Lu accidentally enters an escape game called Find the Evil Ghost. Its rules are like hide-and-seek: find the evil ghost hiding somewhere, and you earn the right to leave. It seems simple, but in reality, the challenges are endless. Shen Lu has to search for clues, watch out for attacks from ghost NPCs, and stay alert to the suspicions of the other players. "Just look at the way he's dressed. You can tell he's no good." "That ghost came back to life after he touched it. He must be the evil ghost!" Shen Lu, who has just found a clue: "..." [Accusation failed. This player is not the evil ghost. Please keep searching!] Amid the crowd's disappointed voices, Shen Lu is surprised to discover that his player identity has changed to that of a living dead person. [The selected player's identity has changed. Search for the evil ghost alone. Sharing any clues with other players is prohibited.] Shen Lu: ...Thanks. Really, thanks. Now that the game has become a solo battle, Shen Lu no longer needs to worry about anyone suspecting him, and his methods grow increasingly simple and brutal. He searches for clues and beats up ghosts, acting with ruthless efficiency. Only when they see him looting a house with blood dripping from his hands and a blank expression on his face do the other players realize they've messed with the wrong person! Content warnings: 1. The author's knowledge is limited, so there are many original elements and the setting differs quite a bit from the usual. Read with caution if that bothers you! No nitpicking or putting others down. 2. No need to announce if you drop the story. Enjoy reading, and let's all get along. New story: I Was Just Out Gathering Seafood Ye Xun is in danger while gathering seafood one moment, then wakes up the next to find he's transmigrated into the body of a military academy student with the same name who was expelled. Before he can recover from the joy of getting a new lease on life, the System dumps a whole pile of information about the original owner's situation and his seafood-gathering task on him. After learning the sad story of how the original owner, a coward who wanted to toughen himself up, accidentally ended up dead, Ye Xun solemnly declares, "We're both people who've met with disaster far from home, brother. I'll live on for both of us! What's so hard about gathering seafood? Piece of cake. I'm the one who once struck fear into the hearts of every creature in the whole sea!" The next second, his cheek starts throbbing with pain. A three-meter-long giant octopus crawls ashore and brandishes its tentacles at him. Ye Xun stares in shock. "Are you sure this is gathering seafood? Isn't this fighting monsters?!" The System casually tosses him a golden shovel that can take off half an enemy's health with one swing. "Young man, believe in the light! Become the light!" "Ha, the light? I'm beyond the light!" Ye Xun charges in and cuts down one monster after another, unaware that the System is secretly uploading the brutal scene to the Star Network. The Star Network users have just had their fill of gossip about Ye Xun being expelled when they turn around and see the man himself tearing sea monsters apart with his bare hands. "I can't believe it's Ye Xun. Wait, that ferocious guy is Ye Xun?!" "Seriously, weren't they saying he's a coward? He's as bold as a bull!" "Yikes, he's fighting monsters! He's eating them too?! He's terrifying!" Returning in triumph and gnawing on an octopus tentacle, Ye Xun raises a half-curled middle finger at the onlookers. "This gesture is pretty uncivilized, but I don't feel like being civilized with you. You get it, right?!" The gossiping netizens: "Thanks. We feel very insulted." Coming soon: Becoming a Farm Owner in a Rules Horror World Bai Qian inexplicably enters a rules horror world. If he can quietly survive for 365 days, he can leave. The trouble is, Bai Qian isn't the type to keep his head down. He's a born rebel, and even the horrors shake their heads at him. The rules say he can't eat meat, so he'll eat vegetables! What?! One hundred yuan per pound?! Even rich people would go broke eating these! Bai Qian angrily buys vegetable seeds and prepares to clear some land for farming. He even kidnaps a Sunflower Shooter from the roadside, munches on its seeds, and tells it to stand guard. Sunflower Shooter: I'll shoot you to death! The rules say he can't refuse people's requests, so he'll return the favor. What?! You want me to help find your grandson?! No problem! How about you help me clear a plot of land? Bring your grandson over when you're done. Old woman: I'm going to beat you up! The rules say he can't go out late at night, so he'll chat with the neighbors through the window. First, he tosses over a handful of sunflower seeds as a gift, then gets down to business. I like the land under your feet. Could you move back a couple of steps? You can move, after all. It'll be easy. What?! You don't want to?! Then give me back those seeds! The neighbor, who has feet but no hands: Have you no manners? Looking at his ever-growing farm, Bai Qian nods with satisfaction. I could do this for years! Then one day, the rules suddenly change, and crowds of people rush toward the farm. Bai Qian wakes with a start. What?! Is this finally my chance to get rich overnight? He cheerfully counts his money and tells the horrors penned up on his farm, "You'd better work hard! The rest of my life depends on you!" The horrors: ...Just hurry up and die! Theme: Love life and stay positive
