Chapter 140 Chapter 140
Qingtong was taken away by the ambulance, but the paper man did not leave. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction the ambulance left, wondering what he was thinking about.
In the crowd, a young man in a dark uniform stepped forward, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The young man's name was Qian Yicheng, and he was a police officer who had just joined the Weird Response Department last month. The entire Weird Response Department had been established for less than two months, but even if he was not in the Weird Response Department, he was a newcomer in the entire police station, having graduated from college less than two years ago and still in need of training. However, he was now the captain of the action team, with two people under him, and was specifically responsible for rescuing people in weird live broadcasts.
Who could have thought that a college student who was just rescuing a live broadcaster would unexpectedly see a very dangerous paper man after arriving.
The department has specially compiled these weirds that can be communicated and created a file. The man in front of us, who first appeared in the weird live broadcast room, is codenamed 001 in the file, and his danger level is SSS. It is not recommended to approach him actively. Although there have been several cases of 001 saving people in the live broadcast, it seems that he saves people for fun. For example, in a weird live broadcast, a couple accidentally encountered a terrible weird on the road. The weird originally attacked the man, but the man instinctively pulled the people around him in front of him as a shield out of fear. The paper man appeared and saved the woman, and then asked her with a smile what she thought of her boyfriend's behavior.
After the woman expressed her anger, the paper man actually took out a knife and handed it to the woman, asking her to kill her boyfriend.
Qian Yicheng was watching the live broadcast at the time, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the paper man put the knife into the woman's hand. Fortunately, the woman was very rational and threw away the knife to show that she would not do that.
Of course, it is also possible that she guessed that she was being live-streamed and did not want to go to jail for it.
In short, the man in front of me treats humans with the same condescending attitude as he treats ants. He will save you when he is in the mood and watch you for fun, but will completely ignore you when he is not in the mood. He may even instigate a scene when he is in a bad mood, just like what he did last time with the weird boy in the weird live broadcast.
As for the fact that the paper man saved Qingtong, Qian Yicheng was only worried that the paper man had bad intentions towards Qingtong.
Especially now, the paper man's smiling eyes when he watched the ambulance leave, it looked like he was up to something bad.
So even though the file was set up not to actively communicate with the paper man, Qian Yicheng still went up to him and said, "Thank you... for saving him. May I ask why you are here?"
He wanted to find out what the paper man was trying to do so that he could take precautions.
"Why?" The paper figurine smiled and pointed in the direction where Qingtong left. "Because of that extremely powerful weird power."
Qian Yicheng closed his eyes, and he knew! Compared with the paper doll, the faceless child was much cuter. Even though the little girl pointed at her ears several times and asked, "Do you want to play games? Bet your ears," at least after he refused, the little girl would not pester him again, and at most she would ask again tomorrow.
"It's a pity that it has been fused." A trace of regret appeared in the paper man's eyes, "It's hard to snatch it away."
Qian Yicheng's eyebrows twitched, and he subconsciously asked, "Why?"
As a result, he regretted asking the question. He didn't think the paper mannequin would answer him, but it actually answered him.
The paper figurine said in a low voice: "If someone eats a delicious dessert, will you cut open his belly and take it back?"
The corner of Qian Yicheng's mouth twitched, and he probably understood.
"But eating him whole... is also what I wanted?" The paper figurine said with a smile, "but the taste will be much different."
The weird smile on the paper man's face frightened Qian Yicheng so much that he broke out in a cold sweat again.
"Adding a new puppet doesn't make the trip in vain." The paper man seemed to have lost interest in chatting with Qian Yicheng and turned away.
The crowd of onlookers made way and watched the paper man walk into the darkness and disappear completely.
Qian Yicheng didn't dare to stop, and the people he brought didn't dare to move without orders. After the paper man disappeared completely, Qian Yicheng took out his mobile phone and reported the news that there might be an "awakened" person in Heng City. However, this awakened person was targeted by the paper man and needed someone to protect him.
Even the people sent may not be enough to beat the paper man.
Thinking of this, Qian Yicheng began to sympathize with the college student. It was pitiful that he just realized that he was being treated as a dessert.

When Qingtong woke up, what he saw was the clean white ceiling.
"Host, you finally woke up." The crying voice of the salvation system echoed in Qingtong's mind.
Qingtong sat up slowly and found himself in the hospital, wearing a hospital gown.
"How long have I slept?" Qingtong asked.
Salvation System: "All night. It's now 10:37 AM the next day."
Qingtong rubbed his forehead. Fortunately, he didn’t sleep for very long.
"Fortunately, the host fell asleep," said the rescue system, "and did not experience any subsequent pain."
Qing Tong was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had merged all the instruments last night: "Did I merge successfully?"
"Yes, host can try to summon your weapon." The Salvation System said, "Draw the weapon you want in your mind, and then summon it from where you want it to appear."
Qingtong closed his eyes. He thought about the appearance of the dagger he used last night and imagined it emerging from his palm.
After a few minutes, the dark metallic liquid flowed out from his palm and gradually turned into a sharp dagger. The dagger flashed with cold light and had a sharp blade.
"It looks ordinary." Qingtong frowned, "and it appeared too slowly."
Savior System: "Because the host imagines it to be ordinary, the host can add gorgeous decorations or patterns to it when conceiving it. The slow condensation speed is because the host is not skilled enough. The more detailed the host's conception of the weapon is and the more skilled the host is in the operation of the strange force, the faster the weapon will appear. The host just needs to practice more."
Qingtong: "If I want to turn it into a hot weapon, can I do that?"
Savior System: "It can be done. The host can try to make anything that can be made with metal, but the host needs to know the inside and outside of the object very well. And the size of the object is limited. The host cannot make weapons that are more than half of its own volume, and cannot make gunpowder by itself. It can only be made of metal. So if the host wants to make a gun, then the ammunition must be prepared by himself."
"I understand."
So, let's give up on hot weapons and just make cold weapons like swords or knives according to your ideas. They are simple and good ideas.
"By the way, if it's a dart or something like that, can it come back if I throw it out?"
"Host, please understand what 'binding' means. As long as it is a weapon transformed from the Hundred Weapons, whether it is a dart or an arrow, even if it is thrown more than three kilometers away, as long as the host wants, it can be summoned back at any time." The Savior System said, "Even if the host's weapon is picked up by someone, or locked in a box. As long as the host summons it, no matter how many miles it is, no matter how many layers of obstacles it needs to penetrate, it will return to the host. However, this system does not recommend that the host throw the weapon too far. The Hundred Weapons themselves have no will. After being thrown too far, they will return to the host in a straight line. If someone's head becomes an obstacle to its straight line on the road, it will pass through everything just to return to the host."
Qingtong: ...
If this kind of situation really happens, he will not be the savior, and he will probably have to change his name to the destroyer of the world.
"However, if I make this thing into an arrow and place it on the ground of the Western Continent, and then lie on the ground of the Eastern Continent to summon it...how many people can it shoot through?" Qingtong suddenly felt a little curious.
Salvation System: ...Host, just be a human being.
I'm really not an evil villain boss.
Even if you keep summoning weird vests, don't give up.
While Qingtong was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and he quickly took the dagger back from his palm.
After hearing the word "come in", Qingtong saw several people walking into the ward, and the single room, which was not spacious to begin with, was immediately crowded.
"Hey, how do you feel?" Li Wen relied on his slightly plump figure to stand in the front. He put a bag of fruits on the table beside the bed. "If I had known there was such a thing in the dormitory, I would not have let you live here." Li Wen's face was full of regret.
Qingtong: "I'm fine."
Qin Yi: "The emergency room gave you a blood transfusion last night. The doctor said that if it was ten minutes later, you would have been in real danger."
"Oh, is that so?" Qingtong was really surprised.
The Savior System quietly complained in Qingtong's mind: "The doctor will say it's serious. This system has been keeping an eye on the host's physical condition. If it really comes to that, this system has the right to exchange a bottle of treatment medicine for the host to use directly in a critical situation, as long as the host has points in the mall. So the host doesn't have to worry at all. As long as the injury is not fatal, you can leave it to this system."
Qingtong responded to the system's complaints in his heart: "If I really perform an instant healing in front of everyone, I can throw away this identity."
He could imagine how much trouble would be waiting for him in the future.
"Hello." A woman who looked to be in her 30s or 40s pushed past Li Wen and walked up to Qing Tong. "Let me introduce myself. I'm the director of the Heng City Strange Response Division. My name is Yu Miaoqing. Are you interested in joining the Strange Response Division?"
"Can I join directly?" Qingtong asked, with a hint of surprise on his face.
Yu Miaoqing nodded: "Of course, if I'm not mistaken, you should have woken up too. I saw in the weird live broadcast that the stuff in the Rubik's Cube liquefied and drilled into your skin, and then poured out to form a dagger. Can I ask where your Rubik's Cube came from? Of course, you don't have to answer if you don't want to. I'm not interrogating you. This is your privacy."
Qingtong: "I bought it from a street vendor before, for ten yuan."
As for which stall it was, Qingtong said he didn't remember because it was not a recent thing. He said he had had this thing in his hands for several months.
Yu Miaoqing nodded. This was something that could not be verified. In fact, she did not mean to get to the bottom of it. She was just asking casually. Since the day when the weirdness descended, many old things have changed. Some have become weirdness that harm people, and some simply have weird powers attached to them. Because there is no weirdness coming out of it, and items with weird powers can attack the weirdness, when the members of the department have not yet fully mastered the power system in the secret book, the people in the weirdness response department still use those things with weird powers to deal with the weirdness.
For example, this time, Qian Yicheng came to the university to help, and he brought a pen with him. This pen has a history of more than 50 years. It was once the property of a famous writer, but the writer died in an unjust case. After his death, all his inheritance was sold, and the pen was used as a package.
Because the fountain pen was considered a rare item at that time, it was not thrown away as waste after changing hands several times, and later became a collection of an antique lover. However, after the red sky day, the fountain pen has been emitting black mist, and the owner of the fountain pen was afraid and sent it to the weird response department for disposal.
After background checks and monitoring, this pen is a monster with strange powers, but currently harmless, so it has become a weapon for the monster response department. After all, you can't ask the faceless child to help every time. Of course, the most important thing is that although Yu Miaoqing's department has a faceless child, it is obviously very difficult to summon her. The little girl always takes the initiative and goes wherever she wants. When she has enough fun, she comes back to ask for meat. If she hadn't solved a lot of powerful monsters every time she took action, Yu Miaoqing would have cried to death.
It was just like the last time that the Faceless Boy was asked to solve the problem of the Straw Boy was just a coincidence. In fact, Yu Miaoqing guessed that the little girl was willing to go with them because she wanted to play.
There is a faceless child in the department and several strange objects used as weapons. The Heng City branch should be envied by other departments, but only Yu Miaoqing herself knows how hard life is.
Their department really needs capable newcomers.
"Are you willing to join us?" Yu Miaoqing asked again, "With your current status as an awakened person, you will be a regular civil servant when you enter the department. However, considering that you are still a student, you don't need to clock in every day. You only need to come to training when you don't have classes. Once you can control your own abilities, you will slowly begin to fight off strange tasks."
"I'm in."
This was his purpose.
