Chapter 258 Chapter 258

That night, Ji Yiyi was not the only one who left. To ensure safety, Qingtong and others contacted everyone living in the entire building, asking them to either return home before dark and not go out, or move out before dark and never go out. They were not sure they could really lock the strange creature in one place and prevent it from running into the corridor.

But as long as the door is closed, other homes are safe.

But in the end, everyone in the building was evacuated. Some people regarded the strange hazards as fires and earthquakes. In order to survive, it was nothing to go out and find a hotel to stay for a night, especially when the old hotel in charge of the strange response department still had vacancies and could stay for one night for free.

Now is not the early stage of the advent of the weird. When the weird first appeared, there were always some stubborn people or those with stubborn tempers who refused to listen to advice and leave the danger zone, and some who thought they were the protagonists of this world. In the end, they all became news items about people who died from encountering weird things, without even a name, just a number.

Nothing is more important than life.

There were indeed some stubborn ones, but they almost died after the strange event happened.

Qingtong and others were at Ji Yiyi's house, with the door closed and all the lights on.

Because there was still some time before dark, Han Qi opened the illustrations in the strange live broadcast and continued to look through them to consolidate his memory.

Su Sanan was training his abilities. He used water to wrap around a Tang sword. The Tang sword was just an ordinary weapon, but as long as he covered it with a shallow layer of his own abilities, it would be equivalent to a strange power enchantment. The lethality of water was not strong, at least he had not yet developed a powerful water attack, so he could only choose this method as a compromise.

Qingtong closed his eyes and rested, but he was actually communicating with the salvation system and checking the latest news of other aliases.

"I'm talking to you guys." Huang Tianzhen crossed his arms, "You're about to face a C-level monster, but you're really not panicking at all."

"There's nothing to panic about." Han Qi continued to scroll down the contents of the illustrated guide. "It's not difficult to deal with the knocker ghost. As long as you catch it the moment it appears, you can beat it as much as you want in the rest of the time."

There is no special solution, just pure brute force output.

As for the fighting ability of Knock Monsters, it is said that Knock Monsters of different appearances have different fighting methods, but they are basically all C-level, which is about the same.

Because there is no fixed way of fighting, there is no strategy or method to use before you encounter it, so just react spontaneously.

The most important thing to rely on in battle is randomness.

Huang Tianzhen: "Okay."

He turned his head to look at the living room. All the things on the wall and the table had been put away. Even the table had been moved to the corner. After a quick look around and seeing nothing to see, Huang Tianzhen took out his cell phone and flipped through it. He chuckled from time to time, and no one knew what he was looking at.

It was getting dark outside.

Finally, there was a knock on the door.

Several people were immediately startled. Huang Tianzhen and Han Qi put away their mobile phones and took out their weapons.

Huang Tianzhen is three very small knives, and Hanqi is a dagger. They are all strange objects that were exchanged from the strange response department. If they are owed credits, they must be returned after the mission is completed.

Qingtong stood up first and walked to the door, looking out through cat eyes, but there was no one.

"Who is it?" Qingtong asked.

There was another knock on the door.

"I've opened the door, come in." Qingtong said as he opened the door.

Naturally, nothing could be seen outside the open door, but Qingtong could sense that a faint mysterious force had rushed into the room the moment he opened the door.

Qingtong closed the door without changing his expression.

With a click, the door was locked.

Inside the house, Huang Tianzhen stretched out his hands with his back behind his back, and three small flying knives floated quietly behind him.

Su Sanan and Han Qi did not hide their weapons, but held them openly.

"The dog is coming in." Qingtong put his hand on the light switch, and the fingers of his other hand moved slightly, "Get ready."

The three of them bowed slightly, their eyes fixed ahead.

With a click, the light was turned off, and the next second it was turned on again with a click.

The moment the lights came on, several people saw clearly a figure flashing in the living room. It was a humanoid monster that was nearly two meters tall, with long black hair covering his entire head and hanging down to his waist. Four hands were exposed from under the black hair at his waist, and five feet were exposed from the white hem of a skirt.

The moment it flashed, a thin long chain flew over and wrapped around the strange body. The strange power of the chain was so strong that it forced the strange to completely reveal its true form.

Now they could see more clearly, and Su Sanan and others also noticed that the strangely exposed hands and feet had deep skin wrinkles like those of a centenarian.

"Eey——" The knocker was caught and let out a sharp cry.

The next second, the Tang sword wrapped in a layer of water, the dagger wrapped around the strange force, and the three flying knives all pierced into the body of the strange. The strange struggled desperately, and the harder he struggled, the tighter the chain wrapped around him.

Qingtong added another chain and tied up Guaiyi tightly from head to toe.

The black hair of the knocking monster was dancing, like countless moving threads trying to reach out to Su Sanan and the others. It seemed that this was its attack method, but Qingtong's chain not only caught its hands and feet, but also its hair and body. The exposed hair tips were less than three centimeters long, and no matter how hard it stretched forward, it could not reach Su Sanan and the others.

Under the chaotic knife, the strange creature was chopped off unwillingly.

It collapsed to the ground and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

The chain in Qingtong's hand loosened and fell to the ground, and he took it back into his palm.

"Fuck!" Huang Tianzhen took a few steps back, thinking it was some new attack method. But he saw the black smoke quickly fade away and disappear without a trace.

Han Qi: "Calm down. Some invisible monsters that can hide will be like this after they are killed. Not all monsters can leave corpses after death."

It's not always possible to keep the body and reuse it as a monster, like Qingtong and his friends did when they killed the human skin monster on the train.

Huang Tianzhen: “I see.”

Su Sanan: "Isn't the speed of dissipation a bit too fast?"

In fact, the savior system quietly devoured the dregs and turned them into mall points: ...

As a member of the Monster Response Department, the host cannot help but be unable to move the corpses left by the monsters killed during the mission. But this guy who will turn into smoke slag, can't he steal a few bites?

I've said before that it lacks energy. Even if it has several pets, it's still really poor.

There are so many things in the mall that you can’t get them out without energy.

Qingtong, who is well aware of the system's cheating behavior, said: "It's different for each one. Maybe this one is a little weak. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of it."

"Indeed." Huang Tianzhen nodded in agreement. "It was solved too easily. Is this a C-class? I fought so hard on the train last time... and almost died. They were all C-class. This is too far off."

"It's a good thing that it was resolved easily." Qingtong sent a message to Instructor Li, who replied immediately and asked him to contact the logistics personnel of the strange response department to handle the follow-up issues.

Easy? I guess, but this knocker is not weak.

The reason why I think it was easy to solve is because I controlled it from the beginning. If I hadn't tied the knocking monster with a chain to make it lose its mobility, there would have been a big battle afterwards. Whether it was the reaction speed of taking action in an instant when seeing the monster, or the extremely short generation time when the chain condensed, without the past training, there would be no results today. It is precisely because of the continuous and not easy training schedule in the past that I can easily solve the goal today.

The knife is sharpened, so it can kill monsters more effectively.

Su Sanan and his companions also reacted quickly. They took action the moment they saw the monster. They were not frightened by its terrifying appearance at all. They were already qualified in terms of both mobility and psychological quality.

Someone from the logistics department quickly sent a message to Qingtong, saying that they would arrive at the scene in half an hour to detect whether there were any strange hidden remains. Of course, Qingtong and his team would not be needed for this task, so they could go back. The subsequent cleaning of the damaged items and arranging for the residents to return were all the work of the logistics department.

Instructor Li's text message followed closely: Well done, don't take any mission tonight, go back and rest.

"Let's go, the problem has been solved." Qingtong said to the three people.

Su Sanan put away his Tang sword and stretched his waist: "It's not bad to solve a job."

Han Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "It went smoothly, right?"

"Yes, yes." Huang Tianzhen put his arm on his shoulder, "It just so happens that we haven't had dinner yet, let's go have dinner. It's my treat~"

"Eh? Shouldn't the captain treat us?" Han Qi looked at Qingtong with a smile.

Qingtong raised his head: "Sure, what do you want to eat?"

Huang Tianzhen raised his hand: "Barbecue!"

Han Qi: "It's fine if it's hot."

"I want to drink beer." said Su Sanan.

A glass of beer after work is what Su Sanan, a former office worker, looks forward to the most. However, as a programmer, most of the time when he finishes work, he is exhausted and lies flat on the sofa.

"By the way, Hanqi, are you an adult?" Huang Tianzhen looked at Hanqi, who still had a little baby fat.

Han Qi bared his teeth: "I'm an adult!"

He just looks small because of his round face.

By the way, I'm not that tall either.

Qingtong: "There is one nearby, let's walk there."

A few people were walking on the road. Huang Tianzhen put his hands in his pockets and hummed a song. When crossing the intersection, Qingtong saw a few familiar faces from the corner of his eye. He remembered that they were also students at the training base, but they came to the base earlier than them, and they were not in the same class. So they learned things faster than them.

If I remember correctly, at the end of last year, the above class had already formed a team to go on a mission, and they were rarely seen in the training base.

Seeing how hurried he is, is he also going on a mission?

There have been so many strange things happening in the capital recently.

Qingtong lowered his head and opened the map on his phone to take a look. Sure enough, there were a lot of densely packed strange signs, but the danger levels marked were not high, there were just too many of them.

The density of strange appearances began to increase.

There weren't so many last year.

"Captain, what are you looking at?" Huang Tianzhen saw Qingtong remained silent, so he poked his head out to take a look. "It's a map of the weird live broadcast. It looks scary, but most of the weirds are below C level, and there are not many C level ones."

"But the total number is too large." Su Sanan sighed, "Now the Internet is discussing the topic of the end of the world, saying that weird things will cause the world to end."

Qingtong said nothing. If the system had not arrived and everything happened as planned, it would indeed be the end of the world.

There are no secrets, no illustrated guides, no understanding of what these things are, and no idea how to deal with them. Humans are growing slowly, but the monsters can gain powerful strength by devouring humans in large numbers.

Especially the previous S-level strange birth in Neon Country, if left unchecked, it could really destroy a country.

"It's not that step yet." Qingtong said.

He will not let the world really reach the point of destruction.
