Chapter 010 Chapter 10
【Character: Faceless Child
Rarity: S
Personality: Lively, playful, cruel, likes ball and hide-and-seek.
Ability: To be unlocked]
Just as the system said, although it is a weird card with the appearance of a girl, it is an S rarity card and must be very useful.
Unfortunately, the half-planned antique dealer role had to be put on hold, after all, a girl's vest cannot be used for business.
No matter how regrettable it is, the matter has been settled, and the most important thing now is to unlock the skills.
"With a face like this, it's so easy to unlock it." Qingtong said with a laugh.
Even if Qingtong only looked at the face of the little girl without any features through the card, he would feel palpitations, not to mention those who have seen the faceless child in real life. Instead of worrying about whether it would leave an impression on people, it would be better to worry about whether this card would scare people to death.
At least for the first appearance, hopefully there won't be any problems.
"We have to choose a location carefully." Qingtong looked at the map and suddenly his eyes lit up.
This is probably the only place where only healthy young people would appear.
As for the time of appearance, it must be early morning.
"There's no need to start the live broadcast this early morning." Qingtong said.
I have been live streaming for two consecutive days. I need to take a break occasionally. The most important thing is to let the news on the Internet continue to ferment.
"Have all the online comments about the live broadcast been deleted this time?" Qing Tong asked.
The Savior System replied: "No, not this time. Only some of the violent comments were deleted. It seems that the higher-ups have realized that simply blocking the issue is useless and that the issue cannot be addressed. However, there are some efforts to guide online comments. There are basically no comments about 'weird resurgence' online."
"In addition, the price of antiques has been rising recently, and there are more and more people who forge and sell antiques."
Qingtong: "It's expected."
When he heard Guan Haoguang mention that many people wanted to buy antiques from his third uncle's shop, he guessed that this would happen.
It can be said that he was the one who started the trend of pursuing antiques.
Qingtong was not in a hurry. After all, once the antique dealer's card came out, everyone would know who had the safest and most valuable items.
Now is not the time to worry about these things. The most important thing right now is to fill in the script for the faceless child to leave.
"System, you told me that the weird paper dolls are actually made from the paper dolls used for funerals. So what made the faceless child become weird?"
System: “It’s a doll.”
Qingtong tilted his head: "Doll?"
System: "Yes. There was a little girl in a family. Her mother didn't like her, her father didn't care about her, and she had no friends. Wanting a playmate, the daughter made a doll for herself. She used her mother's long hair to make the doll's hair, sewed the doll's body with her father's skin, and dyed the doll's skirt red with her own blood. But she forgot to prepare the doll's facial features. The doll had no eyes, nose, or mouth, and would not look at her daughter, nor could it communicate with her daughter. Later, the daughter was very unhappy and scratched the doll's face with a knife. The doll had a mouth and could speak. It was really a cause for celebration."
Qingtong, who was sitting alone on the sofa, hugged the small pillow tightly and shivered.
"Is this the story behind the faceless boy? Wait, so there are paper dolls too?"
The system replied: "Of course, every character in the card pool has its own story. Of course, the paper figures have their own stories too."
Qingtong: "You never said that before."
System: "Does it matter? A vest is just a vest. How it is interpreted depends on the host's ability. Even if it is OOC, it just means that the fusion degree cannot be increased. It will not affect anything."
"It's very important! Knowing the story behind it will help me better interpret the role!"
"Well, okay." Although the salvation system didn't quite understand, it still answered honestly, "The story of the paper man is nothing special."
"There was once a family that had been engaged in funeral paper making for generations. They made excellent paper figures for burial. Families who did this kind of work had a tradition of drawing the eyes of paper figures but never putting dots on them. However, a wealthy family thought that such paper figures were not realistic enough, so they asked the craftsman to put dots on their eyes. The paper craftsman said that if the eyes were put on, the paper figures would have spirits, and the spiritual bodies would be possessed by certain things and could not be burned, and would cause trouble in the future. The wealthy family did not believe it and forced the paper craftsman to put dots on their eyes. The next day, everyone in the wealthy family died, and the paper figures originally used for burial disappeared. It was really magical."
Qingtong had already taken the small blanket beside her and covered herself tightly.
"System, let's sing the national anthem."
"Huh? Why?"
"Courage."
“……”Can you be a little more promising?
Although it was a bit embarrassing to see the host's frightened look, the salvation system still played the national anthem several times in Qingtong's mind. Accompanied by the passionate tune, Qingtong calmed down a little, opened the system and took a look at the Faceless Boy's card.
The face was scary to begin with, but it became even more terrifying when combined with the story.
After taking another look at the smiling paper figure, Qingtong closed his eyes and closed the system interface with trembling fingers.
"Are you sure there is no soul in the vest?"
The system replied as a matter of course: "Of course, the vest stored in this system is only the shell, please feel free to use it."
"System, I will definitely be able to draw a normal human hero card next time."
"Of course. The chance of getting a weird card is only 10%! The first time I got it was an accident, the second time was also a coincidence, but the third time won't be so easy. How can someone always win a prize with a small chance? There will be no problem next time."
"That's good." Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief.
The night deepened and it was already eleven thirty in the evening. Qingtong changed into pajamas and lay on the bed. She raised her hand and pressed the role-playing button of the faceless child. Then, the faceless little girl in a little red dress stood beside the bed.
The first thing I noticed was the visual change.
The horizontal visual angle of a pair of human eyes is about 180 degrees. Without turning the head, one can see both sides of the body. The invisible areas are not completely dark, but simply do not exist.
The weird faceless boy has no eyes, and Qingtong was once worried that he would not be able to see anything after using this character, but he was wrong. Not only can he see, but he also has a 360-degree full vision without blind spots.
But the things he saw had no color, only shapes, just like the gray stereoscopic models in 3D modeling, he could accurately describe the shapes, positions, and even movements of those things. For example, when he saw a clock hanging on the wall, he could not only see the round shape, but also the rotation of each part inside.
No, this shouldn't be seen, but perceived by the Faceless Child. It's a difficult-to-explain ability that allows her to know everything within a certain range around her.
It is said that this vest's hobby is hide-and-seek. With this ability in hand, who can beat the faceless child when he plays the role of a ghost who finds people?
The ability to "see" the internal conditions of machines and cabinets is completely cheating in this regard.
"Host, it's time to set off." The system reminded.
"Oh, I get it." Qingtong immediately got into the state. He raised his little head, a crack appeared under his face, and the two sides of the crack were raised, revealing a sly smile.
"Hey, come and play~~"
“Hehehe~”
The faceless boy turned into a dot of light and disappeared into the bedroom.
