Chapter 022 Chapter 22
Wash your hands, burn incense, and pray.
After dealing with metaphysics, Qingtong began to seek help from science.
"There really aren't any bugs in your system backend, right?"
The Savior System immediately went mad: "Please do not compare this system with the low-powered computers you are using now. BUGs do not exist in this system!!"
Qing Tong: "The probability of something weird happening is really only one in ten, right?"
"Yes."
Qingtong nodded.
That's good.
According to probability calculations, the chance of a weird character card appearing for the third time is 1/1000, which is a very low number, so it must not be that.
He took a deep breath, opened the card drawing interface, and tapped the seal with trembling fingers. The iron chain opened with a clatter, and the sealed door opened for the third time.
The world went dark, and then a beam of light fell from the sky, illuminating a silver mirror in the darkness.
A mirror as tall as a person fell gently to the ground. A gentleman with a cane and a tie walked out of the darkness, with a gentle smile on his face, and stood in front of the mirror.
The mirror clearly reflected the gentleman's face, but the gentleman in front of the mirror was smiling, while the gentleman inside the mirror had a stern face and ferocious murderous intent in his eyes.
The smiling gentleman reached out his hand and touched the mirror, and the mirror rippled like water. Then the gentleman stepped into the mirror. At the same time, the fierce gentleman in the mirror maintained the same action and walked out of the mirror.
The gentleman came out and bowed with a sneer.
The world shattered like a mirror, and Qingtong returned to the real world.
After a while, he covered his face.
The character in the CG looks like a normal person, but he doesn't look like a good person, let alone a hero.
So, could this be...
Qingtong opened the corner and glanced at the third character card. Sure enough, he saw a line of words under the card - Weird: Mirror Devil.
Oh.
What happened to the odds of getting a card only being one in ten? This is already the third one in ten!!
"System!!"
"This system has no bugs!!!" The salvation system was even more excited than Qingtong, "It has nothing to do with this system!!"
After seeing the CG, the Savior System was also dumbfounded. It knew very well who was in its card pool in the background. From the moment the opening shot fell, it knew who would appear this time.
Mirror Devil, also a weird creature of rarity S, has a high appearance value, is good at disguising himself, and can fight.
I drew the weird mirror devil. I really don’t know whether the host is good or bad.
Seeing Qing Tong lying on the sofa with a look of despair on his face, the Savior System quickly said, "Host, don't be sad. Although this is not a hero, it can be used as a hero card!"
Qingtong raised his eyelids: "Ah?"
"The host just wants a character card that can pretend to be an antique dealer, right? Isn't this weird card just an ordinary person's face?"
Qingtong perked up a bit, sat up and looked carefully at the person on the card: "Now that you mention it... his facial features seem a bit deep..."
"Host, do you want to hear the story of the mirror devil?"
"...Wait a moment." Qingtong slipped into the bedroom, closed the doors and windows, pulled up the curtains, and got under the quilt. He immediately felt confident and said, "Tell me."
Salvation System: ...
Look how scared you are.
"In a special era, a man from a big family went abroad to study. He met a woman, fell in love with her, and had a child. Later, the man returned to his family, married and took a concubine, abandoning his overseas wife. The wife took her son and sailed across the waves to find her, only to see her husband in a large courtyard with a deep gate, hugging her left and right, and flatly denied that he had ever married a foreign woman. The woman abandoned her son in anger and left. The poor child was left in his biological father's family and became a servant who was beaten and scolded by everyone. More than ten years later, the world was in chaos. The boy who had grown up slaughtered everyone in his family overnight, smeared the blood on the mirror, and performed a demon-summoning ritual to pray for eternal life. He succeeded and failed. He will not die, but he is not alive either. He has become a monster that is neither alive nor dead. If you don't believe it, you can touch his chest and listen. He has no heartbeat."
"System, the special period you are talking about, could it be the Republic of China in history..."
"Host, some things don't need to be too entangled with time and place." The salvation system said, "There are thousands of parallel worlds, and it may not be the world you live in."
Qingtong: ...
Is that so?
But it does explain why the character's facial features look so deep, he is a mixed-race child.
Although it's a pity that it's not a hero card, just as the system said, it doesn't prevent him from using this card as an antique dealer.
"By the way, system, do you know his name?" Qingtong asked.
Salvation System: "Name?"
"As an antique dealer, I can't help but introduce myself when dealing with people. How can I address people without a name?"
The rescue system: "Oh, wait a moment, let the system check."
This kind of content is not important and is not displayed in the card introduction. You can only check it yourself.
"The host is called Bai Yixin."
Qingtong: "This name has so few strokes."
Savior System: "The name was taken from the character's mother. 一心 means single-mindedness." It is also a Chinese character that the foreign wife rarely recognizes.
Qingtong held his forehead and said, "How ironic."
"Is it better to change the name?" Qingtong asked, "Does the Mirror Devil himself mind this name?"
"Of course this is... Hmm? Host, are you trying to trick me?" The salvation system said, "The name is not important. Whether I mind or not is none of your business. Please don't try to inquire about it in a roundabout way. Just focus on saving your own world."
Qingtong: "Because the other world has nothing to do with me?"
"Yes...ah, don't ask! Really, knowing too much is not good for the host!" The Savior System emphasized.
Qingtong burrowed into the quilt and said, "I understand." Then she stared at the strange card of the Mirror Devil.
【Character: Mirror Devil
Rarity: S
Personality: hypocritical, insidious, loves to tell lies, vicious, and good at deception.
Ability: To be unlocked]
Qingtong: "This guy is not a good person. No, this is not a good person."
The salvation system snorted, "With a background like that, it would be a miracle for him to be a good person."
At such a young age, I was disowned by my father and abandoned by my mother. Although I was living in my biological father's family, I was worse off than a guest living under someone else's roof and lived like a dog.
If such a person does not think about destroying the world when he grows up, he is giving the world face.
"But his role is to save the world." Qingtong sighed.
Savior System: "Host, no matter how many cards you use or what kind of character cards you use, it is you who ultimately saves the world." It's a vest, and it's just a vest.
"I know."
"He loves to lie and cheat." Qingtong said, "He is a good candidate for being a dishonest businessman. That's him."
Antique dealer Bai Yixin, find an opportunity to show up.
