Chapter 8: We are all brothers

Chapter 8: We are all brothers

Favorability +20

Two cigarettes, and the favorability rating surprisingly increased by twenty points!

With a favorability rating of twenty points, the top student ghost had already helped Alexander once. Now that the baseball ghost's favorability rating had soared to 30 points, what benefits would there be?

Alexander couldn't help but feel excited.

"Boss!" The yellow-haired ghost approached the baseball ghost and glared at Alexander fiercely.

His favorability towards Alexander had reached -20 points, and even the purple-haired and red-haired ghosts' favorability ratings had dropped to negative numbers.

It was evident that they were upset that Alexander didn't give them cigarettes, but Alexander didn't care. He focused on capturing the leader, not caring about these little minions.

Just then, the yellow-haired ghost said, "Boss, this guy got some good stuff from somewhere. If we take him down, wouldn't that stuff be ours? He's just a little worm!"

The baseball ghost's gaze flickered with struggle, but he shook his head after a moment, "Don't talk nonsense. We gangsters value loyalty the most! We can't disregard loyalty and righteousness just for a pack of cigarettes!"

The baseball ghost spoke with an air of righteousness, but Alexander rolled his eyes internally.

The top student ghost had helped him with just a favorability rating of twenty points, but this guy, with a rating of thirty, was tempted by the yellow-haired ghost's proposal.

He really wasn't a good guy!

Although he thought this way in his heart, Alexander didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said excitedly, "Little bro, you're truly a gangster! You value loyalty and don't covet wealth. You're like Jimmy Conway reincarnated!"

"Who's Jimmy Conway?" The baseball ghost asked, slightly puzzled.

Alexander then realized that there were no gangsters in this world, let alone in this horror world. Even people outside wouldn't know who Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito were.

So, Alexander sat on a stone ledge and began to tell the baseball ghost stories about gangsters.

Cheers and applause kept coming, and the ghosts listened with boiling blood.

These stories were tailor-made for these delinquent ghosts. As he told the stories, their favorability ratings increased like crazy.

+5

+10

+7

...

By the time Alexander finished the gangster stories, the baseball ghost's favorability rating had reached 59 points.

Red-haired ghost: 27 points.

Purple-haired ghost: 30 points.

Only the yellow-haired ghost not only didn't increase his favorability rating, but it even dropped by five points. He looked at Alexander with a resentful gaze and said, "What gangsters? I think you just made it up. We've never heard of them!"

"Big bro!"

Alexander ignored the yellow-haired ghost and looked at the baseball ghost, saying, "That baseball bat of yours is pretty impressive. Can I take a look at it?"

If it had been before, Alexander's words would have undoubtedly angered the baseball ghost.

But now, with a favorability rating as high as 59 points, the baseball ghost didn't hesitate to hand over his baseball bat to Alexander, boasting, "Little bro, this is a good thing, not worse than your cigarettes! Back in the day, I wielded it in the school, and it's been stained with countless blood."

Alexander quickly took it, and immediately, an attribute emerged in his mind.

Blood-stained Baseball Bat

Grade: Vengeful Spirit Level Ghost Item

Description: This is a school bully's baseball bat, stained with the blood and resentment of hundreds of weak students. Infused with ghostly energy, it can cause substantial damage to ghosts.

Awesome!

Alexander's heart was startled. What did it mean to cause substantial damage to a ghost?

Just look at the previous two who were crushed by the top student ghost and had their heads blown off by the female teacher.

Ghosts are not physical entities. Low-level ghosts can be hurt by ordinary attacks, but the damage is minimal, and they will eventually recover as if they have an immortal body.

But using a ghost item is different. If the female head teacher's ruler is a ghost item, the student ghost with a broken arm would become permanently disabled without any recovery items.

If the chalk head is a ghost item, the exploding head of Lei Long would result in immediate death rather than slow recovery.

"Boss, this is your weapon! How can you give it to this kid!"

Seeing that the boss had given Alexander even the baseball bat, Yellow Hair was immediately anxious and blurted out:

"This kid must have made up the story he just told!"

Bang!

As soon as Yellow Hair's voice fell, a loud noise came. Alexander's baseball bat in his hand slammed down on Yellow Hair's head, sending him flying.

Seeing several ghosts looking at him, Alexander said somewhat embarrassedly:

"I was itching to try it. I didn't expect it to be quite useful!"

Saying that, holding the baseball bat again, he went up and aimed at Yellow Hair's head, smashing it down with another blow.

This wasn't the end. Alexander followed one blow with another, smashing and shouting angrily:

"Fake? How dare you say the gangster story is fake? Do you think your big brother in your heart is fake too?"

"You're a traitor in the gang. In the future, the big brother will be like a godfather, a big shot, and you, a traitor, must not be spared!"

Bang!

With the last blow on Yellow Hair's forehead, he instantly turned into rolling black smoke, leaving only a pile of bone ash on the ground.

Baseball Ghost was originally planning to stop it, but after hearing Alexander's words, he paused, his mind filled with gangs and godfathers.

It seemed... to make some sense!

"Big brother, I've already dealt with the traitor for you!"

Alexander handed the baseball bat in his hand to Baseball Ghost. The bat was once again stained with blood, with red and yellow liquid slowly dripping down.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Baseball Ghost was extremely excited and didn't care where Yellow Hair had betrayed him. He patted Alexander's shoulder excitedly and said:

"Little brother, well done! I've decided that I'm going to take my brothers and conquer the world. Bloody Moon High School is too small; I want to be the top boss of Bloody Moon Town, even the gang leader of the entire horror world. Little brother, follow me! From now on, I'll be Jimmy Conway, and you'll be Tommy DeVito! This baseball bat is yours!"

"Godfather!"

The two subordinates, Red Hair and Purple Hair, bowed to the two without hesitation.

"Haha, no need for that, we are all brothers, all brothers!"

Baseball Ghost... no, he should be called Godfather now, laughed heartily, looking like he was ready to be the boss and godfather from today on.

Was this the effect of listening to the story?

Alexander was speechless for a moment, but he certainly couldn't go with them.

He had never heard of anyone leaving a dungeon when it was activated and still managing to get out alive.

Of course, he couldn't say this directly. Who knew if these people had been so captivated by the story that they had forgotten he was a living person from outside? What if saying it outright reminded them?

Immediately, he put the baseball bat into his item bar and then, with a righteous tone, shook his head:

"Jimmy Conway, I can't leave. This is our foundation, and only with me staying behind can we keep a retreat route for our brothers. Jimmy Conway, go ahead and venture out! From now on, this will be our backup base. As long as I am here, there is nothing to fear about having no way back!"

"Isn't that unfair to you?" Jimmy Conway hesitated.

"Not at all. It's my duty to contribute to the big brother. I just hope that when you become successful and famous, don't forget me, Tommy DeVito!" Alexander said, completely immersed in the role.

"Jimmy Conway!"

"Tommy DeVito!"

The two looked at each other with deep affection, their tear-filled eyes filled with emotion.

At the same time, a prompt message emerged in Alexander's mind:

"Affection level reached 60 points. Special effect of the skill 'Unimpeded Charm Syndrome in Social Communication' triggered! Reward obtained..."
