Chapter 138 Chapter 138
Seven o'clock in the evening.
"I'm hungry." Li Wen lay on the table and said weakly, "Shall we go out for a midnight snack?"
"Wait for me to finish filling out the form." Qin Yi didn't even raise his head. After he finished writing the last stroke, he said, "Didn't you just eat two hours ago?"
"It's been two hours!" Li Wen said with his eyes wide open, then looked at Qingtong, "Let's go to the snack street, the fried tofu there is first-rate. Qingtong, are you going?"
Qingtong turned around and said, "I'm not going. Please bring me some fried rice."
After that, he used his phone to transfer the money to Li Wen. Li Wen said, "We have to go shopping after dinner. Are you really not going with us? We will be back very late."
"It doesn't matter."
"Okay." Li Wen waved to Qingtong and pulled Qin Yi out.
When leaving, Li Wen kept muttering: This dormitory is getting colder and colder.
Qingtong flipped through the form handed down by Lao Yang, scanned it and put it on the table.
Just as Li Wen said, after the sun went down, the temperature in the room dropped by about three degrees. Behind Qingtong was the empty bed, and without turning around, Qingtong could feel the gaze coming from behind.
That thing is staring at me. I was originally considering whether to take action in the middle of the night, but now that Li Wen and the others are out, it's convenient for me.
"System?"
"No malicious intent has been released yet." said the Savior System.
He tapped his fingers on the table, still looking at the system's mall interface. In fact, in the afternoon, Qingtong had already picked out two products that he liked for "awakening", but he was still short of points. Just half an hour ago, because of the actions of the vest, the points were finally enough to exchange for one of the products. Qingtong fell into choice dilemma again, not knowing which one to buy.
The first item is the cloaking potion in the props, which can transform a person into a half-cloaked body, and then awaken his own unique abilities like his vest. Later on, you can purchase skill cards in the cards to enhance your combat power.
The second item is a parasitic weapon in the equipment, which can be tied to the body and summoned at any time. This weapon is called Baiqi, which is invisible and can be transformed into any weapon according to the owner's wishes. If you use this, you will have to become a master of combat in the future. But it doesn't matter, whether it is a potion to strengthen the physique or a variety of combat skills that can be learned immediately with one patch, they are all sold in the mall.
If it is changed to the game, it is one magic attack and one physical attack.
The half-genie body created by the first product has no side effects, and is very similar to other "awakeners" who have changed themselves due to contact with the weird, so it is easy to blend in with those awakened ones. However, those "awakeners" created by accident only have one ability, and cannot do the same as Qingtong who can rely on the system to have a variety of skills. Therefore, after careful consideration, Qingtong gave up.
The parasitic monsters of the second product are extremely rare among all monsters. There may be tens of thousands of awakened people in the future, and among them, there may be only two or three kittens that can have a parasitic monster bound to themselves. Most monsters are used as weapons in non-parasitic forms and can change their owners at will.
But no matter how rare it is, it still exists. Becoming a martial arts master is much more low-key than having so many skills as the Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara, the only one in the world.
Compared to "Oh, I have awakened a new ability", it is obviously more convincing to say "I have learned how to use a new weapon and my physical strength has increased."
He raised his hand and clicked "buy", and a small Rubik's Cube fell into Qingtong's hands.
"Is this the Hundred Weapons?"
"Yes, host, please use it according to the instructions." The salvation system reminded, "Host, are you sure? The process of the Hundred Instruments integrating into the body is very painful, because it has to integrate into every cell of the host and completely merge with the host. This process will greatly stimulate every nerve in the host's body. However, as long as you use ten salvation points to buy a bottle of pain-free medicine, you can block the pain for a short time!"
"No, just let it hurt. It's supposed to hurt, isn't it?"
"Yes, if someone else is lucky enough to encounter a parasitic monster, the integration process will be just as painful as the host's experience. The difference is that their parasitic process is likely to fail, turning the person into an irrational monster or killing them. Even if it succeeds, there are likely to be strong side effects. But the things produced by this system have a 100% success rate in parasitism! And there are no side effects after parasitism."
Qingtong: "Compared to others, mine is already pretty good, so that's it."
"Okay, by the way, remind the host that the weirdo behind you is getting ready to make a move."
"I know."
A monster can become stronger by devouring its own kind. This kind refers not only to monsters that can move, but also to monsters.
It just so happened that the strange magic cube in Qingtong's hand did not have any evil intentions attached to it. It was just a simple object with powerful magic power. In the strange eye behind him, it was like a very delicious dessert that could be swallowed directly without fighting.
It's so tempting, how can you not be tempted?
"System, you can start the live broadcast. I'm ready."
"Okay, host."
Qingtong put the Rubik's Cube into her bag and began to fill out the form to apply for a major change.
The live broadcast room was opened at this moment, and as soon as the live broadcast started, countless viewers flocked in.
[I saw a new live broadcast room prompt on the map and came here immediately! ]
[Where is this place? Quick, the locals are ready to fight immediately. ]
[Hmm? Is this...a dormitory?]
[I went back and looked at the address. It was the university town in Yuanhu District, Heng City, China. It should be a dormitory of a certain school. The map has been zoomed in to the maximum. I can only make out that it is probably Heng City Business College? ]
[There is only one person in the dormitory, writing something. Keep writing, run! ]
【So, it is very important to check the software of the weird live broadcast from time to time. I check it every ten minutes, for fear that there is something weird around me. 】
[It's over. Does anyone know this student? Quick, inform him. Run.]
What is he writing?
[Can you please enlarge the image here so I can see it? It looks like an application form for changing majors.]
[Do you still care about changing your major at this time? 】
[Change majors, wait, should I switch to a major that deals with weirdness? I am also a university student, and recently several universities have opened majors that deal with weirdness, and many people are considering whether to switch. ]
【Now, those who have the courage to fight against the weird are all warriors, even if they have secret manuals. 】
[I am from Heng City Business College. I see that the dormitory building outside the balcony looks like the East District. I will go over to look for it.]
[The one above is also a warrior, knowing that there is something strange, but still going for the strange action.]
[Human life is at stake. It should be okay if you just shout downstairs. ]
[It's too late. Something weird has happened.]
The audience in the live broadcast room saw that a figure gradually appeared on the wall above the empty bed behind Qingtong.
The edge of the black shadow was very clear, and it looked like a figure illuminated by strong light, but from the shadow's perspective, where there should have been a person, there was nothing.
Qingtong, who was bending over the table to write an application form, stopped writing. He put all the things into his bag as if he didn't notice what was happening behind him.
The figure moved and slid down the wall. Judging from the shadow's movements, the 'person' should have climbed down from the bed using the ladder.
The bed creaked and Qingtong raised his head, freezing in his tracks.
The figure was not affected at all, but continued to move, and soon the shadow's feet were touching the ground behind Qingtong.
The figure lowered his arms, and from the shadow one could tell that the 'person' was standing behind Qingtong, staring at him with his head down.
[It’s terrible.]
【Imagine that there is something staring at you from behind. This scene is very scary. 】
[Why can't I see this weird real body? It's different from usual ones, or is that shadow the real body? It clearly wasn't there before. ]
[Has anyone found the address? Hurry up and remind him to run. ]
[I'm here, I'm calling people downstairs, people from several floors are looking at me. I should be looking in the right place, didn't he hear me? ]
[There was no sound of anyone shouting in the live broadcast room.]
[Did you find the wrong place? It's so dark now, I can't see the scenery outside clearly. Did you find the wrong building? ]
[Maybe, I'll shout more.]
[I have posted a message on the campus website. I hope that anyone who knows him will call and remind him as soon as possible.]
Qingtong's cell phone dinged. He paused as he was packing his backpack and took out the phone.
The audience in the live broadcast room were very excited, thinking that someone had sent Qingtong a message to remind him. However, when Qingtong took out his mobile phone, everyone was disappointed to find that it was a spam message.
After taking a look, Qingtong put the phone into her bag. When she was about to zip it up, something unexpected happened.
An invisible hand grabbed Qingtong's backpack and pulled it back. Because Qingtong pulled it tightly, his backpack was not snatched away.
"What--?" Qingtong looked surprised. He looked at the dormitory in panic where there was no one except him.
【What's going on? 】
[Weird, are you stealing bags? ]
The opponent was not very strong, and Qingtong quickly snatched the schoolbag back. He looked around nervously and his hand quietly touched a utility knife on the table.
A sharp weapon is the right choice when faced with an attack under normal circumstances, but at this moment, there seems to be no other way.
Qiayi began to feel that Qingtong was causing trouble.
"Host, be careful--" The voice of the salvation system rang in Qingtong's mind.
The next second, Qingtong felt something strangling his neck and he had difficulty breathing.
The thing couldn't be seen or touched, so Qingtong subconsciously waved the utility knife around, but of course it was of no use.
Qingtong felt the pain in his throat. The salvation system's evaluation of the monster in front of him was "although it is also a mental system, it is very weak." However, even with such a weak monster, he was helpless.
Having always been operating under a pseudonym, Qingtong has never come face to face with the real monster. This is the first time that Qingtong has directly felt the despair of ordinary people when facing a monster attack.
The anger of powerlessness and the fear of death rushed into Qingtong's brain. Fortunately, Qingtong still remembered the Rubik's Cube he put in his bag and did not forget how to act because of panic.
Only weirdness can hurt weirdness. To be more precise, only weird power can hurt weirdness.
Therefore, using monsters, even just simply smashing them, can cause damage to monsters.
Qingtong opened his schoolbag, fumbled to take out the Rubik's Cube, and smashed it hard on the void in front of him.
This time, the hidden monster was knocked out, and a monster with a human-like appearance but a ferocious face appeared in front of Qingtong.
This is the weakest of all mental weirdness - the mystery.
Just like the system said, the combat capability is very low, and it is usually very low-key, hiding in a corner and lurking for three to five years until it is completely accustomed to the surrounding environment before starting to act.
But once it becomes powerful, it will become like the weird monster in the town of Sifan Country, able to affect people in the surrounding area, and it will be extremely dangerous.
