Chapter 219 Chapter 219
The day before New Year's Day.
Qingtong is on a video call with her family.
"Yes, the training base is on holiday. No, I won't go back for the time being. I want to train my abilities." Qingtong spread out his palms, and the metallic liquid continued to deform in his palms.
"Okay, since it's your decision." Qingtong's mother sighed, and was pushed aside by Yanjun as soon as she said this.
"Brother - I got first place in the practical class!" Yan Jun said excitedly, "I will also join the strange response department in the future -"
"...Well, that's great." Qingtong said, "Keep training."
"Have you told your father about not coming home?" The mother pushed her son away and asked, "I've watched the live broadcast of Beijing Strange Domain. This is a dangerous job. I won't ask you to quit, although I really don't want you to continue doing it. Will you be safe?"
"I'll be careful." Qingtong thought for a moment and added, "Don't worry."
"I also told Dad that I wasn't going home."
Even though he was nagged for more than an hour, and his father kept nagging him to change jobs.
After ending the video call with his family, Qingtong opened the Savior System interface and continued to study new cards.
【Character: Mango
Rarity: SSS
Personality: Lively, cute, innocent, dangerous
Ability: Unlocked
This was the first time Qingtong had seen so many positive character descriptions.
Think back to the personalities of the cards he had gotten in the past: the madness of Paper Man, the cruelty of Faceless Child, the hypocrisy of Bai Yixin, the savagery of Tong, the evil of Kailett, the indifference of Coil, the capriciousness of Curse Priest, the evil of Straw Boy, the cunning of Crow, the pessimism of Banshee, and the deception of Fox Rabbit.
Only the Invisible Son has a nothing character, nothing at all.
Although there is one "dangerous" in Mango's personality tags, at least the other three are good adjectives.
If we use a fan-shaped diagram to divide the image, the sunny side will still be more visible, right?
After all, humans cannot be all good. Mango is really much better!
While observing the card details, Qingtong unexpectedly discovered that there was an extra piece of information under the interface of Mangosteen compared to other cards. He unfolded it and saw the following words: [Mysterious Territory: Mangosteen Forest]
...Um?
Weird area?
"Wait, this card has a built-in weird domain???" Qingtong was very excited, "Can a weird card have a weird domain?"
Salvation System: “Is it weird?”
"Speaking of which, the core level of the weird domain in the weird domain is A, and the weird card I got is at least S. Logically, every card I have should have the ability to release the weird domain."
"Yes, theoretically it is true. Every weird card in the host's hand has the ability to create a weird domain." The Savior System said, "But the premise is that the host first completely unlocks the card's skills, opens the second form, taps the ability to the maximum, and then explores the method of releasing the weird domain on his own."
"Unlock all of them." Qingtong opened the card list. Except for the newly drawn cards, all other cards were in the state of self-acting, but the unlocked skills and information would be updated in real time in the system interface.
Except for Mangtao's twelve cards, those who have unlocked three skills and opened the second form are not enough for a slap.
"Host, there is no need to rush to pursue the Weird Domain. The Weird Domain is used to divide the territory for. The host's vest mission target is the Weird. Releasing the Weird Domain requires a lot of Weird Power hunting, and it is extremely difficult to control. If you are not careful, it will kill everyone in the Weird Domain. Even humans who accidentally enter it will become the host's vest's prey. the trouble to open the Weird Domain to kill."
"But SSS-level cards have strange properties. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to control them?"
"That's the difference between SSS cards and other cards. The host has enough weird power to release the weird domain, and controlling it will be as natural as breathing. There is no need to worry about losing control."
"Hmm? How big can the strange domain cover?"
"If the host fully unlocks the card and releases its maximum power, a city."
Qingtong took a breath of cold air: "How big is the city?"
"It's a city as big as the capital."
Qingtong: ...
Very good, he understood the value of SSS-level weirdness.
"Host, this system refers to the entire area divided into the capital city on the map. It does not refer only to the city, but also to the suburbs."
Qingtong closed the system interface with a smile. He felt that he needed to wash his face and calm down.
The gold content is still at the 999 level.
I suddenly understood why the Savior System was so excited when it found out that it had drawn an SSS weird. This ability is indeed worth being excited about.
"You definitely can't try this ability in the community." Qingtong opened the system panel again, "Go to the no-man's land and try it."
If it works, he has a good idea on New Year's Day.
Remember to turn on the live broadcast and use the scene of everyone arriving to increase your fusion level. You may be able to unlock a new second form of the card.

Beijing, strange response department.
"We'll go to Jiuxia Mountain to take over on New Year's Day." Nong Xiangming sighed, "I was thinking of going home tomorrow."
"It's a pity that my vacation is ruined." Si Zai rested his hands on the table. His computer was open with the weird live broadcast illustration interface, which contained the introduction of the S-level weird series such as Paper Man.
"Do you think we will meet the leader of this organization tomorrow?"
Nong Xiangming thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. Up to now, we are still not sure how many people there are in this organization... and how weird they are. And the only ones we can come into contact with regularly are Bai Yixin and a few others. They are not completely friendly to humans."
"Yes. The person in charge of the northwest gate said that he saw a paper man during a mission and wanted to say hello to him to show his friendship, but he was completely ignored." Si Zai twice, "And the paper man caught an awakener on the spot, turned him into a paper man puppet and took him away. It was unstoppable."
Nong Xiangming pushed up his glasses and said, "I remember that after the awakened person accidentally awakened and gained power, he killed many innocent people, robbed, set fire, and committed many crimes."
"Yes. The mission of the Northwest leader was to capture the awakened person. Because of the danger of the other party, he was allowed to 'kill him as a last resort'. Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by the paper man just after he found the person."
Nong Xiangming: "Catching criminals and using them as paper puppets, from this perspective, paper puppets are not that bad."
"That's just not bad." Si Zai scratched his head. "To be honest, I'm a little worried. The other party is a tiger, and we are cats. A cat and a tiger want to cooperate? If we don't get swallowed up, it's the other party's kindness."
"Who's going tomorrow?"
"Too many people won't do. It will be troublesome if someone talks nonsense. It's just you and me, and then..." Si Zai thought for a moment and said, "Let's call Quan Li."
Nong Xiangming was stunned for a moment: "Quan Li? Isn't he a newcomer?"
"Yes, a newcomer. A newcomer who knows how to speak carefully." Si Zai clicked on the employee file folder and found Quan Li's information. Looking at the photo of the young man with a silly smile, he said, "I think he is suitable. The architect and the construction manager must be present. In case there are any changes that need to be made, they will be required to come to the site to design. Although they said so, they have not left since the building was completed. They are living there and waiting. But apart from negotiations related to the construction, there are only three of us."
"Hope everything goes well tomorrow."
*
The next day, early morning of New Year's Day.
The first rays of sunlight fell on the land of the Eastern Continent.
The salvation system alarm rang, reminding Qingtong of the beginning of the first day.
He got up, washed his face, got dressed, and ate breakfast leisurely. Seeing that there was still an hour before the meeting, Qingtong sat down and browsed the system mall, looking for good things to buy.
At the same time, Si Zai and others had already arrived at the halfway point of Jiuxia Mountain...
Unlike Qingtong and the Majias who had a system to transport them, as humans they had to climb up Jiuxia Mountain step by step.
"I didn't expect to be called to carry out this mission. I'm so excited!" Quan Li said excitedly while carrying his bag. "Deputy Minister, can you really take me with you?"
"The minister ordered us to do this. Anyway, you are just a messenger." Nong Xiangming wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up. "How far is it?"
"Based on the route and our previous climbing speed, we'll be there in another half an hour." Quan Li estimated the time, "It doesn't matter, I can still do it."
Nong Xiangming's eyes were fixed, he couldn't do it.
Unlike Si Zai and Quan Li, he is a civilian and not good at sports.
"The cable car is a great invention." Nong Xiangming said in a long voice, "It would be great if Jiuxia Mountain could also build a cable car."
"You also know this is impossible. The land of Jiuxia Mountain will be used for lighting in the future." Si Zai, who was walking in the front, said calmly, "How could such equipment used by tourists be installed here?"
Nong Xiangming sat down, took out a bottle of water from his bag and took a sip.
Quan Li looked at the deputy minister, who looked so exhausted that he could hardly walk, and asked curiously, "Minister Si, can't we take a helicopter over there?"
Nong Xiangming answered his question: "After the temple was built, there was not enough open space for helicopters to park, and the terrain there was also quite steep. The construction materials were transported to the open space below and then carried up by hand."
This cost a lot of labor costs, but since the money was all raised from the United States, I didn't feel bad about spending it.
\"I see." Quan Li nodded, indicating that he understood.
Half an hour later, the three finally arrived at the temple in Jiuxia Mountain.
It was only after they arrived that Quan Li finally understood what Nong Xiangming meant by "the terrain is relatively rugged".
This newly built temple is actually built completely on the cliff, on a rock wall that looks like a landslide. The construction site follows the terrain, hidden among the green trees growing on the cliff, and most of it is barely visible under the cover of clouds. The ingenious workmanship gives people a mysterious feeling, just like the retreat of immortals.
"Amazing..." Quan Li's eyes sparkled, and he subconsciously wanted to take out his phone to take a photo. Suddenly he remembered that this building would be used by the Light Organization, so he put his phone down again, "Deputy Minister, this temple is even more amazing than the Xuankong Temple I saw..."
"After all, it was designed by the best architect in the country..."
Before Si Zai finished speaking, a man's cold voice rang out behind them: "The two you mentioned cannot be compared. First of all, you think this building is better than Xuankong Temple only because it is larger in scale and has a more beautiful surrounding environment. In addition, I integrated modern architectural aesthetics with ancient architectural features and built it using the landscape and terrain here, which conforms to the public's imagination of the wonderland of Langyuan. The Hanging Temple was built more than 1,500 years ago. At that time, it was much more difficult to build a temple on a cliff than it is today. Today, we can make models on computers and transport materials by helicopter. In the past, design depended entirely on a pen, a piece of paper, and enough imagination, and construction and transportation also relied entirely on manual labor. In terms of the difficulty of design and construction, this building is far less difficult than the Hanging Temple. "
Quan Li: "Who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Tangen, an architectural designer." Li Tangen said modestly, "I'm well-known both at home and abroad."
Si Zai laughed twice: "A little famous, if you say so, it's okay."
"Do I still need to stay here?" Li Tangen asked Si Zai, "The building has been completed. I have checked everything and there are no problems."
Si Zai rubbed his face and said, "Well, I'm worried that it might not suit the preferences of the Light Organization. After all, you know, they are not human. If they are dissatisfied and want to change something..."
"Change? Don't be ridiculous." Li Tangen frowned. "This building is an integrated whole. In order to make it fit perfectly with the terrain and make it more beautiful on the basis of practicality, I have precisely calculated the size and position of every piece of wood and stone. There are no redundant parts, and of course they cannot be deleted. If you really want to change it, you might as well just tear it down and start over. But I am very satisfied with this building. I can't design a better building than this one. If you are not satisfied, please ask for help from someone else."
Si Zai pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
It is true that he had no complaints about the building, but who knows about its weird aesthetic.
"I think it's very good. It doesn't matter if we don't change it." The boy's playful voice sounded above their heads. Several people looked up and saw the Scarecrow Boy standing on the golden roof of the building with a small scarecrow doll in his hand.
"I'm the first one to arrive." The straw boy Qin Xiaocao jumped down and landed in front of Si Zai as if he had no weight at all. He squinted his eyes and looked at him, mocking him, "Weakling."
Si Zai: ...
This weird kid is just as annoying as the records show.
The moment the Straw Boy appeared, a message popped up on many people's mobile phones and computers: A special live broadcast has been opened in the weird live broadcast software, do you want to watch it now?
Some people are working, some are browsing the website, and some are playing games.
After seeing this message, everyone was stunned, but soon, everyone chose "Watch Now" without any prior agreement.
Special live broadcast, sounds very attractive.
Is it different from before?
After opening the weird live broadcast software, you will see a red banner at the top of the software: Click to watch the special live broadcast.
The location of the live broadcast is not marked.
Isn't this a mysterious advent?
As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, the first thing one saw was the temple shrouded in mist on the cliff. Then the camera zoomed in and saw four people and a strange young man on a small open space in front of the main entrance of the temple.
Except for the straw boy, the others are relatively unfamiliar faces.
What is going on?
[Wow, special live broadcast, it doesn’t look like there is a weird live broadcast room. 】
【Who said there was nothing weird? Didn’t you see a big straw boy? He was super fierce.】
[It looks like just a little kid.]
[Don't be fooled by his appearance. This kid is more brutal than a paper doll. He once killed a village of ordinary people just for fun. If the curse priest hadn't stopped him, the second village would have been wiped out as well.]
[Is it so scary? ]
[Yes, he has also appeared in other live broadcast rooms, attacking indiscriminately. By the way, he may hate adults very much, and will kick them if he passes by them. If an adult gets in his way, breaking his legs is the least of his worries.]
[It sounds like someone is passing by and kicking a dog.]
[Does anyone know those people? ]
[I know the man in dark blue. He is Li Tangen, a top modern Chinese architectural designer. He is also well-known internationally and was once invited to design and expand an ancient building abroad.]
[It sounds pretty cool.]
【It’s just awesome. 】
So, what is he doing here?
【Li Tangen is only interested in things related to architecture, and will only spend his time on things related to architecture.】
[Is no one paying attention to this building built on a cliff? It's so beautiful. Where is this? I want to travel there.]
[Experienced donkey friend, I have never seen such a place, it should be newly built. ]
【Thinking about Li Tangen's identity again, I roughly guessed it. 】
【Beautiful oriental architecture, mysterious feeling. 】
"I'm very satisfied with this place." The button eyes of the scarecrow with short black hemp hair in Qin Xiaocao's hand seemed to move and looked in the direction of Li Tangen. The corners of the painted mouth were also slightly lowered, as if asking for help.
However, Qin Xiaocao slightly exerted force on the scarecrow's neck, and the scarecrow stopped responding.
Li Tangen didn't notice all this. He was only concerned with construction matters. He only knew the news about the weird things and live broadcasts, but never paid attention to them in detail. He didn't understand the boy in front of him. He just glanced at the straw doll in his hand and looked away.
"I'm glad you're satisfied. This is my masterpiece." Li Tangen smiled.
Qin Xiaocao tilted her head and smiled a bit wickedly: "But if the leader doesn't like it, then I don't like it either. I will help the leader to completely flatten this place. Then please design a better one."
The smile on Li Tangen's lips froze immediately, and he looked at Si Ze.
Si Zai immediately walked up to Li Tangen and said, "Okay, let us take care of the rest. I know this building is great. Your temporary lounge is in the back, so go and rest first."
"If you really raze this place to the ground," Li Tangen gritted his teeth, "don't even think of me taking on any commissions from your department again in my lifetime."
Si Zai immediately comforted him, "No, definitely not."
To be honest, Si Zai also thinks that this building is extremely beautiful. How could it be demolished? If the Lighting Organization is really not satisfied, the worst that can happen is that they can just build another one somewhere else.
Some buildings become treasures the moment they are built, regardless of their age.
Li Tangen was sent away by Si Zai in this way.
Looking at Qin Xiaocao who was smiling evilly beside him, it was obvious that he said those words deliberately to irritate people. Si Zai sighed, feeling helpless.
A butterfly flew between several people, followed by the second, the third, and finally a group of them.
Colorful butterflies circled in front of the people and gathered into a ball. After they dispersed and disappeared, a young man with white eyes appeared. After glancing at everyone present, he walked to the wall and sat down, quietly looking at the mountains in the distance.
Si Zai recalled the information about the young man in his mind.
Chongxu has appeared several times in the weird live broadcast. Because he has been staying in Neon Country, even if there is information about him in the weird illustrated book, Si Zai has not seriously investigated it. This boy doesn't like to talk much, and he won't speak unless necessary, but he is very powerful. What's more terrifying is that according to the superficial data investigation, this boy has the power to seduce people.
There are many of his followers in Japan. Just by seeing his appearance in the live broadcast room, they become crazy about Chongquan and call themselves his die-hard fans.
It seems that a Hundred Butterfly Club has been established in Japan, which consists entirely of fans of Chongxu. There are also many awakened ones among them. It can be said to be the strongest civil group in Japan.
Such a weird boy is also a member of the Tonka.
【Insect Coil——】
[Why is our God here? ]
[This is China, right? Why did you go to China? 】
[Isn't it our country's butterfly god? Why? 】
[Straw Boy, Cobweb, some people speculate that they are members of Denghuo, and both of them appear here. Is the live broadcast now a gathering of all the Denghuo members? 】
[Is this true? I'm so excited——]
[Wait, what's going on with those three people? Why are they here? ]
[I know, they are from the weird response department. The tall one is Si Zai, the general manager.]
[It's not surprising. China first took out the secret book from Bai Yixin. Bai Yixin is a businessman of a strange organization. If you think about it this way, they have already had contact with the Denghuo organization.]
[Could this building be a gathering place built by the Chinese department for the lighting organization? ]
[Why! Come to our Silver Country! ]
[Russia has the largest territory in the world, and welcomes lights to settle here. ]
[Stop kidding, you have the most territory, but most of it is frozen soil.]
"Ah~~~~" A beautiful female voice with a sad tone hovered in the air.
I don't know when I have stood on the top of the building. The shrieking banshee Ariel gazes into the distance and sings the saddest and most beautiful melody.
"It's so noisy - stop singing -" Qin Xiaocao shouted angrily.
Ariel's singing paused. She lowered her head to look at Qin Xiaocao and opened her lips again.
The beautiful tone turned into a mournful scream. Qin Xiaocao frowned. He raised his hand and threw the straw doll into the air. The straw doll floated in the air like a human being, pulled out a dagger from its body, and rushed towards the direction of the screaming banshee.
The Banshee leaned forward, ready to fight.
The cocoon remained in the same sitting position, ignoring everything around it.
The straw doll has already flown in front of the banshee. Qin Xiaocao, who is controlling the straw doll, has a face full of anger. Just when the fight is about to begin, time suddenly stops. The movements of the straw doll and the banshee are frozen in the air. Even Qin Xiaocao and the panicked Si Zai and others below are still.
Only in the live broadcast room outside the domain, time continues to pass.
[What's going on? Everyone is standing still? ]
【Time stopped, I knew who it was. 】
【Me too.】
【It really looks like a gathering organized by Denghuo. 】
【That man is coming. 】
[It must be the leader.]
[It's hard to say. Even if he's not the leader, he must be an elder or something like that.]
Amid the discussion among the audience in the live broadcast room, a ray of light flashed and the curse priest appeared on the roof. He held a straw doll in his hand and hammered the ground with his scepter. Time began to pass again.
Ariel, who was about to attack, missed. Qin Xiaocao, who found that the doll was caught, looked at the curse priest. Although she was a little aggrieved, she quickly lowered her head and looked as if she admitted her mistake.
The disaster-stricken people looked around blankly, and after seeing the curse priest, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's always you, Qin Xiaocao." The Curse Priest said, "It seems I should describe your behavior to the leader."
"No, don't--" Qin Xiaocao raised his hand and waved, and the straw doll in the curse priest's hand flew into his hand.
"There won't be a next time." Qin Xiaocao lowered her head and said, "Really."
The comment section of the live broadcast room exploded.
[So the priest is not the leader? ]
