Chapter 121: Alexander’s List
A sudden sense of unease surfaced in Alexander’s heart.
He opened the sign-up card again and decisively chose the Tombstone Rose Shop. Sure enough, a similar notification message echoed in his ears.
"Applicant number xjbxd44011, your application has been unilaterally rejected by the ghost host of the Tombstone Rose Shop, and you have received 2000 ghost coins as compensation from the other party. You have been blacklisted by the other party’s ghost host and will not be able to apply for this instance again."
"Applicant number xjbxd44011, your application has been unilaterally rejected by the ghost host of Fierce Ghost Street Pawnshop..."
Were these ghost hosts hiding from him? After continuously clicking on three instances and being rejected from all of them, Alexander was dumbfounded.
"Alexander just went into the instances to buy some things through zero-cost purchases, and unexpectedly got blacklisted! Is this fair?"
Previously, Dolly’s exceptional bravery in the instances had forced the entire Fierce Ghost Street to blacklist her. At first, Alexander thought it was quite cool and was quite envious. Now, it seemed like it wasn’t such a good thing.
Suddenly, Alexander, as if remembering something, abruptly lifted his arm. As expected, his death tattoo had changed unlike normal people’s.
From the handle of the blood-colored sickle, black threads spread upwards like spiritual snakes, covering the entire sickle.
Alexander’s sickle was not pure black like Dolly’s, indicating that some ghost hosts were not afraid of Alexander, thinking that his power was far inferior to Dolly’s.
Of course, such instances must have powerful ghost hosts waiting for Alexander to walk into their trap.
"Alexander, what’s wrong? What happened?" Su Rong asked, somewhat puzzled by Alexander’s expression.
"These ghost hosts are really stingy. I just went in to take some junk, and they banded together to blacklist me!" Alexander was indignant, his face full of grievance.
Annie and Su Rong couldn’t help but laugh. Su Rong reached out and gently tapped on Alexander’s forehead, reprimanding him with a smile,
"Your reputation has already spread on Fierce Ghost Street, and even Happiness Street over there knows about you! Who told you to be so ruthless, even taking away their floor tiles!
You even dismantled the entire restroom at the Fierce Ghost restaurant, which I heard made Edward swear when he saw it. If we weren’t currently in a partnership, he would’ve sought you out for explanation by now!"
"Brother, don’t just go into any instance!" Annie spoke nervously, "Your reputation has already spread in the Dark Hell, even Ghost King Edward suffered a loss. Not just Fierce Ghost Street and Undead Street, even the neighboring Happiness Street knows about you!
Those instances that haven’t blacklisted you and dare to let you in, definitely have experts sitting in them. It will be dangerous if you go!"
"These ghost hosts, they are really naive!" A smile emerged at the corner of Alexander’s mouth as he looked towards the window.
Through the curtain, one could vaguely see the dim street outside: "They blacklisted me, that’s good! It looks like I need to find time to pay them a visit!"
Being blacklisted is definitely a dead end for other selected ones. Even if Dolly had the power to rip apart ghost kings with her bare hands, once blacklisted, she could only stay in the real world and be helpless.
But Alexander was different, he was also a ghost host!
For the selected ones, the Thriller World was like a game instance.
Enter, complete tasks, then exit the instance world.
But the problem was, other selected ones didn’t have something like a ghost bead like Alexander did, which was similar to a green card in the Thriller World, a symbol of status.
If one doesn’t have a Ghost bead, the moment they appear on the streets of the Horrifying World, they will immediately be targeted by countless evil spirits.
It’s as if a delicious roasted whole lamb appears in a slum, telling the hungry people they can eat as they please without any cost!
Most of the selected ones are not very strong,Without a Ghost bead, if they appear on the streets of the Horrifying World, billions of evil spirits will devour them like flesh-eating ants with sheer numbers.
For others, the Horrifying World is a series of isolated instances, but for Alexander, it is a real and complete world.
Registration cards can’t go there, random instances might be rejected, but Alexander can enter directly through Ghost Street!
These ghost hosts are so naive, thinking that putting him on the blacklist will stop him?
Alexander was hesitant about which ones to choose because no one knows whether seemingly ordinary instances will have a powerful master lurking inside.
Now he doesn’t have to worry, those instances that actively blacklisted Alexander must have been out of fear.
From this perspective, this is not a blacklist, but clearly a zero-cost shopping list!
Anything on the list can be purchased, and there must not be any strong masters, otherwise, they wouldn’t have put Alexander on the blacklist.
’Su Rong, prepare a pen and paper, start recording!’
The smile on Alexander’s face grew, and even Su Rong, who had become a ghost general and awakened her lava ghost body, felt chills on her back.
Alexander was only planning to visit the weapon exhibition, the flower shop, and the pawn shop. But the appearance of this blacklist has provided him with targets.
It’s clear that those who could blacklist Alexander are not particularly powerful characters, and they likely don’t have any backing.
This isn’t a blacklist, it’s a zero-cost shopping list! There’s no need to be polite, right?
Once he has this list, even the entire Ghost Street, even the neighboring blocks might suffer.
While mourning for those poor ghost hosts, Alexander’s hands didn’t hesitate. He directly took out a bloodstained black notebook from the drawer.
It looked like a diary, but only a few pages were written. Those pages were torn off.
Taking the notebook, Su Rong snapped her fingers, magma rolling on her fingertips and quickly condensing into a pitch-black pen with a crystalline luster.
’This ability is quite handy. I’ll speak and you record, jot down all the shop names I find!’ Alexander said, using the registration card again, and started trying one by one.
’Candidate xjbxd44011, your application was unilaterally rejected by the ghost host of the Internet Cafe on Ghost Street, and you received a compensation of 2000 ghost coins from the other party...’
’Su Rong, put the Ghost Street Internet Cafe on the list!’
’Candidate xjbxd44011, your application has been successfully submitted. You have successfully registered for the Ghost Street Auction House. The current number of people is not full. You can cancel the registration at any time before the ghost host starts the instance.’
’They agreed? Cancel the application, I can’t afford to provoke this one for now!’
’Candidate xjbxd44011, your application was unilaterally rejected by the ghost host of the Pizza Shop on Ghost Street, and you received a compensation of 1500 ghost coins from the other party.’
’Su Rong, put the Ghost Street Pizza Shop on the list! No, draw a red line for me. Damn it, they only gave 1500 ghost coins, are they trying to get rid of a beggar? Note it down, I’ll peel off his wallpaper!’
’Candidate xjbxd44011, your application was unilaterally rejected by the ghost host of the Ghost Street Bakery, and you received a compensation of 2500 ghost coins from the other party.’
’This bakery is quite understanding! Draw a black line for it, and mark it. When I visit, I’ll be a little careful. Unless something is very valuable, I’ll leave it for them!’
As Alexander spoke, Su Rong was taking notes in a small notebook, like a mafia collecting protection money.
Those ghost hosts would never imagine that they had put 44011 on the blacklist out of fear of being robbed, but as a result, they ended up on Alexander’s list.
Not long after, the title of ’Alexander the Dark Robber’ resonated in the Horrifying World.
Once, while casually chatting with other apartment residents, Annie inadvertently leaked the information about Alexander’s notebook filled with countless names. Suddenly, this inconspicuous diary became a legend in the entire Horrifying World.
One stroke for life, one stroke for death, red and black lines, a significant difference between life and death! Countless evil spirits were terrified, and they named this life-and-death deciding notebook - the Death Note!
And that pen that was used to decide life and death, if it draws a red line, it means that the ghost host must die and be made into ghost food after death. If a black line is drawn, although they will be robbed, they will have a chance of survival.
This pen was named - the Judge’s Pen!
