Qi Lin considers himself an ordinary person.
Don't smoke, don't drink, live a regular life, and don't create enemies that keep you awake at night.
Even the doctor said he was healthy.
If this system had not suddenly appeared, Qi Lin would have certainly lived a relatively rare life that was simple, dull and boring.
Instead of staying in the campus until morning where there are college couples everywhere, getting up early and going to the library to reserve seats.
Qi Lin has already understood.
There is nothing strange here, nor any dark alleys. The original mission was destroyed by me several years ago, and not even a trace of it is left.
Therefore, Qi Lin could either just pretend that this system didn't exist and return to his simple retirement life.
Or find a way to create dark alleys and weirdness.
The dark alleys were easy to deal with. At worst, Qi Lin could use his connections to borrow some space from the school, just as a stage for filming a movie.
And weird...
Qi Lin was a little troubled.
Because I have already dealt with all the monsters within a radius of hundreds of miles, where can I find monsters now?
Opening his phone, Qi Lin did a simple search for urban legends in the neighboring city. As expected, most of them were things he had seen before. Some were true, while others were just hearsay.
He flipped through his phone for a long time and finally found a suitable one.
It is a small county town nearly 800 kilometers away from here. It is said that every twelve o'clock, the radio in the county town will receive a strange signal, which plays advertisements for health products from forty years ago and recruitment information for training classes. It is weird, yes, but the content of these broadcasts is clear and loud, which gives people a creepy feeling. It is not weird, because only such sounds will be heard and no one will be hurt.
After seeing these descriptions, Qi Lin was almost certain that it was a monster at work.
In fact, contrary to what many people think, weird things are not necessarily extremely evil.
Qi Lin was not quite sure about the cause of the weirdness, but it was probably related to human sanity. When humans experienced extremely terrifying and terrifying things, their sanity would rapidly decrease, they would become crazy, and even change their physical form, degenerating into monsters. This was one of the underlying settings of this world.
Just like Qi Lin, after absorbing these strange essences, his body will also change. Although these changes seem to make him stronger, Qi Lin is very clear that this is also the process of gradually moving towards "inhumanity".
The reason why he was interested in this system was that he was curious whether this system could help him solve these problems and obtain a normal and sound mechanism to improve his strength.
Qi Lin did what he thought. He quickly bought a high-speed rail ticket to a city near the county. After a long journey, he finally arrived in this small county.
This is an ordinary small county town with its own famous crops. It has produced one or two historical figures whose names cannot be found in history books, and some small business brands that no one knows about unless you search on the Internet, but the locals are proud of them.
There are no chain hotels here, but there are still historical products such as guest houses.
Qi Lin checked in. There were usually no tourists here and the receptionists seemed lazy.
Walking up the creaking stairs to the room on the second floor, Qi Lin asked again.
"Can you lend me a radio?"
"radio?"
The receptionist frowned, but since he was a rare guest after all, he quickly found a radio and brought it to Qi Lin, and recommended some local "tourist" attractions.
Qi Lin thanked the other party and took out another radio from his bag.
This is a control group experiment. He wants to see whether the problem is with the radio or the signal.
After packing up, Qi Lin decided to go out and take a look on the street.
If there is really something strange here, there must be some clues in the county town.
There were not many people on the street. In the shops along the road, the owners were sitting behind the counter, playing with their mobile phones or watching TV, bored. It was unknown whether they were operating at a loss. Most shops had their shutters closed, and one could only hear slight sounds coming from inside when passing by, which carried a certain mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Qi Lin looked around and he could feel that this city was not as ordinary as it seemed. There were wisps of black mist lingering on the streets. These were strange traces that were imperceptible to the human eye. However, what made Qi Lin feel strange was that under normal circumstances, the strange traces were gathered in a very small area, such as an alley, a house, or even in a small music box.
Because weirdness itself is a distortion of the world and is something that should not exist in this world. Therefore, it will naturally be subject to certain corrections. If you want to have an impact, you have to increase the concentration, and naturally you have to gather together.
But this entire county seemed to be shrouded in weirdness, with traces of weirdness everywhere. If Qi Lin was told that the humans here had long been eaten by the monsters, he would not be surprised at all.
However, the people living here are indeed humans.
Qi Lin walked along the main road of the county town and found that it was indeed very strange. However, as a professional weird killer, he was not prepared to act rashly. Instead, he had dinner in the county town and returned to the guesthouse.
When he returned, the person who had received Qi Lin before was sitting at the front desk watching a short video on his mobile phone and laughing happily.
Qi Lin took a glance and confirmed that the other party was a human. He closed the door, put the two radios on the table and turned them on.
A noisy sound came from the two radios. After a burst of electric sound, voices were heard from the radio.
"...radio station..."
It seemed to be a normal car radio station broadcast. Today's radios all have a certain self-tuning function, and will constantly search for frequencies with signals nearby. It seemed to have jumped to this station.
Qi Lin just listened to the broadcast on the radio station, including traffic reports, song requests, and late-night emotional analysis, until midnight, when the radio station finally stopped playing, leaving only the music echoing.
Qi Lin looked at the time, it was exactly midnight.
The next moment, the radio that was playing the beautiful melody suddenly seemed to be out of power. The sound became distorted and hoarse, and the tone was high and low, bringing out a sense of horror.
Qi Lin noticed that a black mist wrapped around the radio, like a materialized signal.
A human voice came from the radio.
"I like to drink Johnson's One the most. After drinking Johnson's One, I become smarter, my grades improve, and I become a good child to my parents..."
"To train special abilities, one must first absorb the energy that escapes into the universe. To absorb this energy, one needs to use this cosmic energy receiver..."
"As the New Year bell rings, we celebrate the holiday, every applause brings a smile, every greeting blooms with flowers..."
These old-fashioned broadcasts mixed together and came out of the two radios.
Qi Lin glanced at the two radios and placed his hands on them.
In an instant, Qi Lin's eyes glowed, and his vision penetrated the black fog, penetrated time and space, and he saw a human-shaped shadow in a room, spreading fog in all directions, as if it was the culprit of all this.
