[Ghost Story: Ghost Story]
According to rumors, during the shogunate period, a general married a beautiful wife who loved knives. Her name was [Ghost Story].
Because she would spend a lot of time practicing her knife skills every day, the woman's body was in excellent condition. She gave birth to four strong sons for the general, and when they grew up, they became brave generals.
However, war was merciless.
The general was defeated.
When the bad news came, the enemy attacked at the same time.
Something incredible happened.
The woman, who was over half a year old, led the guards in the house, and with the help of the general's house's easy to defend and hard to attack, she killed hundreds of enemy soldiers and held the enemy back.
However, facing an army of tens of thousands, all she could do was buy time.
During the resistance.
Suddenly, someone outside the house threw in a big sack.
When it was opened, it was filled with the heads of the general and his four sons.
For a moment, the morale of the army was in chaos.
The time needed to break into the general's house was greatly shortened.
However, when the army entered the house, the woman had already hanged herself on a big locust tree that grew in a shallow pond in the courtyard.
The heads of her husband and sons were placed neatly under her.
The katana that had killed hundreds of enemy soldiers was stuck in the middle. It looked like some kind of evil formation.
Then, something strange happened.
The new general who took over the land saw the locust tree that had hanged the original owner as an unclean object.
He asked his subordinates to pull it out by the roots.
However, the workers who came into contact with the locust tree would feel unwell in a short period of time. They would catch a cold and die the next day.
Those who were infected would whisper a name before they died — [Ghost Story].
Not long after.
The general's house was in chaos again.
The new general held the original owner's katana and killed the whole family in one night. The next morning, he hanged himself under the tree.
For a time, the ghost story of [Ghost Story] spread, and no one dared to come close to the general's house.
Until the modern era.
Due to the rise of hot spring hotels, this place was transformed into a primitive hot spring hotel built against the mountain … The crooked tree was also preserved.
However, the guests who soaked in the hot spring here, especially in the evening, would occasionally catch a glimpse of a middle-aged woman holding a katana under a crooked tree, sobbing slightly.
…
[Ghost Story Level]: A +
[Trigger Method]: Clues and self-exploration.
[Requirements]: Search for the former General's Mansion and find the obsession of going to Xiao under the big locust tree.

…
The old woman finished her story.
Mia and Wen Li, who were originally waiting outside, took advantage of the time difference between the waiter's refresh and came in one after another.
Abel stared at Mia's Demon Blade that was wrapped in spider silk.
"If this demon saber falls into the hands of Chi again, I'm afraid it will be extremely dangerous … Why don't we let Mia take the demon saber away from here temporarily and let us handle this matter?"
Blacksmith Wen Li also felt that Abel's suggestion made sense.
However, Han Dong did not think so.
In the old woman's story, the demonic blade was like a single entity with the Chi …
Moreover, in the [Requirements], he needed to 'resolve' his obsession … The 'resolve' here might have a different meaning.
Han Dong thought that if he did not bring the Bewitching Blade with him.
Even if he could kill the mistress and burn down the crooked tree, he would not be able to complete the 'ghost story'.
"The demon saber is the Chi, and the Chi is the demon saber … Before the mistress died, she probably fused part of her soul into the blade and left the rest inside the locust tree.
The demon saber that we have now is not complete.
To completely resolve the obsession and complete the demon saber, we have to bring the demon saber into the General's Mansion.
Of course … as you worry, Abel, there is a risk. Once the mistress obtains the demon saber, we will be facing a strong enemy that is difficult to deal with.
This is a five-star mission, and currently, it corresponds to a [A +] level ghost story. We have to take this risk. "
Abel punched Han Dong's arm. "I'll listen to you."
"Let's go …"
…
They walked down the cold and dark corridor.
Not only was the temperature low, but the chill felt like it could seep into their skin … It was very uncomfortable.
Slowly, the group moved closer to Wen Li.
Due to Wen Li's special physique, she was able to resist even such cold air. She was even emitting hot air in the opposite direction.
In such an environment, Wen Li was simply a natural heater.
Han Dong shivered due to his weak body constitution.
If it was only him and Wen Li, he might have hugged Wen Li to keep warm.
Thud …
When they stepped down the last step.
The General's Mansion that was built underground appeared before their eyes.
Just like how it was set in this Fate event, all the ghost stories were moved to the theme park.
The General's Mansion with the legend of the Bewitching Ghost was also moved to this underground area. No wonder they could not find the crooked tree on the surface.
There were many exits in the underground area that were connected to the various dormitories on the surface.
Obviously, the mistress was trying to rebuild the General's Mansion.
Currently.
Young women in kimonos lined up at the entrance of the General's Mansion.
Every time an employee with a [Strangulation Mark] on their neck came out, a new employee would enter the mansion.
What they were doing, combined with the known information, was very obvious.
Lining up to hang themselves.
The employees who were affected by some kind of mental influence all came to the underground General's Mansion.
They were originally normal people, but by hanging themselves, they could obtain the essence of the [Strangulation Mark] that was inside the crooked tree.
It gave them exquisite swordsmanship and a cold power that came from the 'ghost story'.
However, they themselves were also subject to certain restrictions.
Their power came from here. Once they left the General's Mansion, they would immediately turn into harmless corpses.
Han Dong whispered, "This is the ghost story that corresponds to the Demon Blade … Let me arrange the plan.
Wen Li, I need you to use the blacksmith hammer to destroy all the exits! Do not let the employees on the surface come down to help. "
"Okay!"
"Mia … You will be the main force of this ghost story mission!
You will control the [Demon Blade] and fight the mistress.
Abel and I will help you from the side. We will not let you be affected by other factors … This is the weapon you asked for, so you have to solve this problem yourself. "
"I know … But! If I am in danger, you have to come save me! "
"Don't worry, I will not let anything happen to you."
Seeing Han Dong so protective of her, Mia was happy and kissed him on the cheek.
mua~
Just like that, the plan slowly began.
However.
Even after the plan was laid out, Han Dong's brain was still in a state of high speed calculation.
He felt that there were some other factors that he did not consider.
