traitor among you_1 “First, the manor opens at sunrise and closes at sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there are still no winners by then, the challenge is considered a failure,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven recited seven rules in one breath, concerning the prohibitions after entering Ghost Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second, given that this is a dangerous activity, children under twelve are not permitted to enter the manor, and each person may not enter the manor more than three times per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone faints, they are prohibited from re-entering the manor for three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third, in the final challenge, there is a treasure chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to obtain the proof inside is deemed successful in completing the challenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth, this is an Intelligence escape game; violence is forbidden within the manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One may only solve puzzles or attempt to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone trying to use force will be sent out of the manor and the challenge will be deemed a failure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifth, Clerics are allowed to participate in the challenge, but the use of Holy Spells is forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any attempt will result in ejection from the manor and failure of the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Depending on the severity, punishments will be levied; lighter penalties include a challenge ban, while heavier ones may involve a fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifth, participants are allowed to form teams, but each team must not exceed ten people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If participants remain in the manor for four hours without completing the challenge, it is considered a failure, and they will automatically be sent out of the manor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sixth, the manor has limited space, and no more than one hundred people are allowed to enter at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the limit is reached, entry will be prohibited until someone leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A friendly reminder: among every hundred people, there will be one of our staff members in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can identify this staff member in advance, it will be considered a successful completion of the challenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seventh, challengers can quit at any time during the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply shout the failure command, and someone will escort you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s all for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any issues are discovered later on, updates and supplements will be made.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The importance of these rules was the safety of both sides’ personnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was it about the safety of tourists who delved deep into Ghost Manor but also the staff inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew it wouldn’t be so simple,” someone commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, with a turn of the head, so many rules and regulations have appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No attacks mean if we encounter a ghost, we can only run away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is blatant discrimination,” another voiced, “What’s the difference between us Clerics without Holy Spells and ordinary people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t really Ghost Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you Clerics went in and purified it, there would be nothing left for anyone to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haven’t you heard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re referring to the ghosts in Ghost Manor as staff members – huh, ghosts working for people is truly unheard of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s so strange about that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling the Undead to serve themselves is what Undead Necromancers love to do the most, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that they are not using them to wage wars, but to entertain the public,” someone offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You call this entertainment?” someone else questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fear, when taken to the extreme, becomes excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t surviving a close call the greatest joy?” another explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that they allow Clerics to enter at all is already the biggest accommodation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Holy Spells, you Clerics have advantages that we lack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What advantages?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not aware of any,” a confused voice responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your understanding of various spiritual bodies and their prohibitions gives you an edge in escaping,” someone clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if Holy Spells can’t be used, aren’t supportive spells still an option?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your repertoire in this area is the most extensive, which is also a form of advantage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be too optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Negative Energy in this manor is very dense, even denser than in the Shadow Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you understand what that means?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It implies a strong magical predisposition here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spells and abilities related to shadows, including the strength of the ghosts themselves, will be enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Holy Spells will be severely weakened and suppressed, including those of a supportive nature.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven announced caused another uproar among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wave of people who gathered were confident in their abilities, especially in dealing with spiritual entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, there was no shortage of Clerics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, forbidding them from using Holy Spells was like cutting off one of their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We will now officially begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who enter the manor first will have priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we reach one hundred people, we will stop,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven proclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had his words fallen than with a roar, the crowd surged forward, drowning out all discussions and dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demand was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one manor and one reward, but hundreds of people wanted that reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you didn’t want to go in, there was a bunch of people who didn’t mind taking your place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven didn’t bother with any queueing ceremony, he simply opened the doors, releasing a hundred unrestricted entry spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was collecting Fear Points, not trying to be a good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need these people to collaborate earnestly to conquer his manor, but to compete against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of entry directly disrupted many who came as teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many who were slow were knocked back by an invisible barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first group of a hundred has already entered,” the manor owner said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Either wait for the next group or wait for someone to be eliminated before entering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystlock Locks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manor was shrouded in Mystlock Locks, now completely isolated from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many in the know immediately recognized this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many who ran fast turned around only to find that their teammates had been left behind by the crowd and couldn’t get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking to exit, they couldn’t even find the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgraded manor had become a Guaiyu, shrouded in a hazy gray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn’t so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, you also couldn’t see more than five meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who had entered with them were stained with this gray hue, as if the color had been stripped from their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes were somewhat stiff, and their smiles seemed to carry an invisible, eerie quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, were those beside them human or ghost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group couldn’t help but recall one of the many rules—their ranks included a member who was an imposter, arranged by the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, they had secretly rejoiced at what seemed a shortcut to success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it appeared this was the greatest trap of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the other side ever said that this staff member was a normal human like them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it a ghost in disguise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were they now unable to determine the identity of this staff member,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but looking at those around them, each one seemed like they could be the imposter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cast a shadow over the not-yet-begun cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s not move recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the game is still in its early stage and the difficulty isn’t too high yet, why don’t we share the information we have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe many people’s teammates didn’t manage to get in, so how about we form a temporary team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A temporary team?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can you prove your identity under these circumstances?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all newcomers here; what useful information could there be to share?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who says there’s no useful information?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I’ve started this, I’ll go first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I once had the honor of traveling the Shadow Plane with my teacher, so I’m slightly familiar with the situation there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current conditions here don’t quite resemble the Material Plane but are more akin to the Shadow Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this place, there’s one major characteristic: infinite space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t use real-world measures to judge the size of Ghost Manor, or you’ll seriously be at a loss later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Shadow Plane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you suggesting that Ghost Manor is a portal to the Shadow Plane, and we’ve already been transported there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case, wouldn’t we eventually face not just the staff of Ghost Manor but also various undead from the Shadow Plane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would ensure our safety then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said it resembles the Shadow Plane, not that it is the Shadow Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s very likely a demi-plane enveloped by the laws of the Shadow Plane, sitting between the Material and Shadow Planes, forming its own system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghosts from outside shouldn’t be able to enter, only those that naturally belong to the manor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, everything makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time I was in here, I felt something off about the length of the corridor in the main building—more so when running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how I changed directions, it shouldn’t be possible to run for four hours straight in a manor before finally reaching the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out the space was continuously stretching.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the winner of yesterday’s prize, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dame is truly lucky, not only did he successfully clear the challenge and obtain an extra prize yesterday, but he also snagged a spot today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s with your tone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a bottle of Ghost Grape Wine, is there a need to be so sour about it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dame is the most experienced among us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his guidance, things will be much easier for us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I fear I won’t be able to help you much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven made it clear yesterday that he would significantly modify the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, this gray fog didn’t exist yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if it’s been adjusted, in such a short time, it’s definitely not possible to completely overhaul everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can only increase the difficulty based on the original set-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s still value in referencing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dame, please share your experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better than nothing, after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you really want to hear it, I’ll share, but there’s not much to say about the first challenge, known as the Silent Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the sinister music and a certain tree that looks like a treant and seems quite frightening, there’s nothing else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is, the music hasn’t started yet, and that suspected treant is obscured by the black mist, so its exact location is unknown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud… Thud… Thud…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dame’s words concluded, a series of muffled drumbeats began to sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm, shifting from slow to fast, caused people’s hearts to involuntarily beat in tempo with it, getting faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel that the drumming is urging us to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a premonition that if we do not proceed before the drumming stops, something might chase us, or we might be directly eliminated from the game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think so too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t really believe you can clear the challenge in one go, do you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahaha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, there’s nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take a run through, gather some experience, my goodness…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a scream, that overly optimistic fellow, as if he had seen something bizarre and terrifying, took off running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his gaze, the rest’s expressions shifted subtly, and they too broke into a run forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, the black mist was condensing; a giant skull made of fog with hollow eye sockets was staring at them, its mouth slowly opening, like a gateway to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to use holy spells, their only option besides running was unimaginable—as to what could combat such a misty existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven entered the third-floor grand hall of Weizemay Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regina, devoid of any image, was laughing uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite her, a huge screen made of black mist displayed the one hundred special guests who had just entered Weizemay Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the one hundred special guests were discussing their situation, the Shadow Screen had already completed their identification and labeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A number appeared above each person’s head, then a miniature photo form appeared at the bottom of the Shadow Screen.\u003C\u002Fp>",2032,"2026-06-06T12:33:11.059Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f2645b8eb774c1fca8ae5e55f34898c22699cbc0d90cc691b752f63b601d0e9","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-404","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-402",2384,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-cover.jpg"]
