Chapter 18: Eighteen Days of Salted Fish



018:

Apartment 2201

"We don't know her, we've never even met her. How could she possibly leave something with us?"

Hu Lingling frowned and whispered to Ning Ziqiu.

Her intuition told her that the other party seemed to have bad intentions.

The tone of the girl's voice sounded innocuous, but it inexplicably made her feel uneasy, and goose bumps appeared on her arms.

Ning Ziqiu nodded solemnly. An ominous premonition arose in his heart, and warnings popped up in his mind frantically.

Pulling Hu Lingling back, he said, "Ignore it."

At the same time, Lin Yitan also came back to his senses from his fear.

He quickly used his claws and head to pull at their legs, pushing and nudging them inside, away from the gate.

【Don't open the door! 】

Hu and Ning could not understand what he said, but they could feel his anxiety and panic from his humming and body movements.

Ning Ziqiu's heart moved, and he asked him, "Do you know anyone outside?"

The wild boar's head clicked violently.

Ning Ziqiu blurted out: "She is the one who hurt you?"

After seeing Lin Yitan nod again, Ning Ziqiu and Hu Lingling looked at each other.

The latter reacted quickly, immediately sending out vines that wrapped around the door handle, locking it tighter.

——In order to be able to grow vines at any time, the squad leader filled his pockets with various leaves and dead branches.

"How did she know you were here?"

Hu Lingling found it unbelievable. Judging from the words of the person outside the door, the thing she wanted to take was Lin Yitan?

Lin Yi sighed and shook his head.

A monstrous hatred surged in his chest. When his enemy came to him, he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

However, above this hatred was panic.

He was very sure that she was not looking for him at all, her target was Hu Lingling and Lin Sike!

Seeing his fear, Hu Lingling quickly said, "Don't worry, we won't let her take you away."

Lin Yitan stamped his hooves anxiously.

What he was afraid of was not that he would be taken away, but that the woman had taken away his companion talent and had lost interest in him when she put him into the wild boar's body.

What he was afraid of was that Hu Lingling and Lin Sike combined were no match for her.

By then...

By then...

Frustrated by the lack of communication, Lin Yitan raised his front hoof and pointed at Hu Lingling, then at Lin Sike, who had put down his painting and came over from the sofa in a daze because of their reaction.

【Hide quickly! 】

Ning Ziqiu understood his meaning from his actions. His face changed slightly and he said to Hu Lingling, "The people outside are not here to look for Lin Yitan. You and Sisi both have companion talents. Her target should be you."

When Hu Lingling heard that she had become a target, her heartbeat went out of control and her hands and feet suddenly became weak, but she did not show it.

Now she and Lin Sike are the only ones in the family who are capable of fighting, and she must take Lin Sike with her to resist the enemies with bad intentions.

Don't panic.

Don't be afraid.

"Zi Qiu, you and Lin Yitan go into the bedroom." Hu Lingling took a deep breath. "Sisi and I are the only two of us, and there's only one of us. She's the one we should be worried about. If she dares to come in, we'll make sure she never comes back!"

Little Lin Sike realized that a bad guy was coming, and she clenched her fists and said, "I will beat him away!"

Ning Ziqiu glanced back at the silent door. He quickly took out his gun, clearly not intending to listen to the squad leader and return to his room. "After all, I learned from Luoshen. I think my marksmanship is pretty good."

Hu Lingling inappropriately went off topic: "I can't do that. I'm aiming, but I just can't hit the target."

Ning Ziqiu: "When you have a chance to find more bullets in the future, you can practice more."

Influenced by their calm attitude, Lin Yitan calmed down.

Thinking about it carefully, when that woman succeeded in getting the better of him, she didn't deal with him directly.

Instead, get close to him, gain his trust, and take action when he has no time to react.

This means that she couldn't defeat him by attacking him directly, so she could only use this roundabout method.

Now they are prepared. Although Lin Sike is young, his supernatural power is a powerful A-level ice-type power.

Even if she has no practical experience, with the assistance of several adults, that woman may not be able to gain an advantage.

The knock on the door sounded again.

"Aren't you going to open the door?" They had clearly retreated to the living room, but the soft voice outside the door still reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Oh." She sighed and said distressedly, "This makes it a bit difficult for me."

There was no movement outside again.

Ning Ziqiu looked at Lin Yitan, who was unwilling to enter the bedroom, and wanted to ask him what the enemy's special abilities were so that he could be better prepared.

But he also knew that it was useless to ask, as they couldn't understand what Lin Yitan was saying.

Luo Shen only told them that Lin Yitan was harmed like this by a woman.

That woman has the ability to "lock" people into the bodies of animals, and can also seize other people's companion talents for her own use.

——This should be her awakened companion talent.

In fact, Lin Yitan had no idea what her special abilities were.

Time passes by every second.

There was no more movement outside the door.

This silence is even more unsettling.

"I'll go and take a look." Ning Ziqiu gripped the gun tightly in his hand and walked towards the gate.

Hu Lingling took Lin Sike's hand and followed, and Lin Yitan naturally did not fall behind.

Ning Ziqiu looked through the cat's eye cautiously.

There was no one outside the door.

He frowned and said, "Not anymore."

Hu Lingling: "Maybe she heard what we just said and was afraid she couldn't beat us, so she left?"

Ning Ziqiu asked Lin Yitan, after all, he was more familiar with him: "What do you think?"

Lin Yitan hesitated and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

Maybe Hu Lingling's guess is right.

The woman didn't feel 100% sure, so she gave up.

Something is not right...

At this time, little Lin Sike asked in confusion: "Why do the bad guys want to find us?"

Ning Ziqiu answered her: "She wants to take away your and Sister Lingling's abilities."

……etc.

Since the woman knew that Lin Yitan was here, she must have known something about them.

Most likely he knew how many people were in the room and what their abilities were.

In fact, the reason why she chose this time to come to the house was probably because she knew that Sang Luo was not at home.

Otherwise, why didn't you come when Sang Luo was here?

This means that she is not afraid of anyone except Sang Luo.

It’s naturally impossible to just quietly leave when you think you “can’t beat them”…

These thoughts flashed through his mind one by one. Just as Ning Ziqiu was about to remind his friend, Lin Yitan's painful groaning sounded from the side.

The small space where Lin Yitan was located had a sense of uneven cutting, so that what the naked eye saw was his body becoming twisted and squeezed. His dark pupils were covered with pain, and blood instantly spread to the entire eye socket.

The girl who disappeared outside the door quietly appeared at the junction of the living room and the entrance.

No one knew how she got in or when she stood there.

She was wearing a white dress, like a beautiful lotus just out of the water, and she looked at them with a smile as they turned around and discovered her.

Lifting the hem of her skirt, she bowed gracefully and spoke softly, "I got tired of waiting since you didn't open the door, so I came in first. Please forgive me for any impoliteness."

"Sisi, beat the bad guys!"

When Hu Lingling turned around, she saw the woman appear in the house and was scared to death.

Lin Yitan’s strange situation made her scalp tingle. Only a fool would stand here and listen to her complaining.

She immediately sent out vines to wrap around the other person.

The little girl locked onto the bad guy and moved her two little hands together. One of her hands formed ice cubes and accurately froze the bad guy's legs, while the other hand clanged and smashed the ice cubes at the bad guy.

Ning Ziqiu raised his gun and aimed at the other person's head. After hesitating, he lowered the gun and aimed at the body before pulling the trigger.

The reactions of the two adults and one child were quite quick.

But before their attacks could reach each other, she disappeared.

Teleport!

Space system!

Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu each came up with an answer. The former found that the girl in the white dress appeared like a ghost beside Lin Sike, and she immediately wrapped the vines around the girl's waist and dragged her away.

"Your reaction is good, but unfortunately..." The smile on the girl's lips remained unchanged, "It's too slow for me."

Before Hu Lingling could start her next move, a cold hand touched her neck.

Her head buzzed, and she couldn't move. She heard Lin Sike yelling, "Let go of Sister Lingling!"

She didn't know what the woman behind her did. Lin Sike encountered the same situation as Lin Yitan. The little girl cried loudly in pain and her supernatural powers went out of control.

The girl in the white dress looked at the frost condensing in the air. The smile on her lips faded, and her eyes became gloomy. She said expressionlessly, "Such a powerful ice element awakened in a little girl. What a waste."

Ning Ziqiu took the opportunity to pounce.

He dropped his gun - the distance was too close and he was afraid of accidentally hurting Hu Lingling.

Holding the boning knife that he had secretly hidden behind his waist, he stabbed the girl in the white dress in the back.

With a clang, the tip of the knife seemed to pierce the extremely hard stone, making a crisp sound.

Lin Yi sighed with tears in his eyes.

【Indestructible body of diamond! 】

His companion talent.

Ning Ziqiu was stunned for a moment, and then a huge force came from his chest and abdomen, and he flew backwards and fell a few meters away.

He coughed up blood and was unable to get up for a while.

"I wanted to treat you politely, but you are so violent."

The girl in the white dress shook her head. She leaned close to Hu Lingling's ear and said with a smile, "How about this? Give me your companion talent. In exchange, I'll let them go."

Hu Lingling's eyes were red as blood, and without thinking, she said, "Okay, take it."

Anyway, even though her companion talent [Dance on the Tip of the Tongue] is gone, she can still cook for Sang Luo.

"Very good." The girl in the white dress smiled more deeply and activated her ability.

——"B-rank Wood-type esper Hu Lingling offered her companion talent [Dance on the Tip of the Tongue] voluntarily. No need to kill, no price to pay."

——"Start seizing."

Unfortunately, her ability can only take away the companion talent, not the supernatural power.

There are two ways to capture it.

One that lets the other party offer it voluntarily without her having to pay any price.

One way is to get it directly by killing the opponent, but it will cost you a lot.

Of course, in most cases, she would choose to trade with the other party.

She tricked the other party into giving up his companion talent, which she could obtain without paying any price, and then killed him.

The girl in the white dress threw Hu Lingling aside and flashed to Lin Sike's side, releasing the "space cutting" and the dying little girl fell into her arms.

Hu Lingling shouted, "You promised to let them go!"

The other person looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't make me angry."

Hu Lingling's anger stagnated, and she only hated herself for being too weak.

The girl in the white dress hugged Lin Sike and gently wiped away the tears on her face with her cold fingers: "Little sister, you heard what I just said to your sister, right? Be good and give me your companion talent."

Lin Sike nodded weakly.

After a moment, the girl in the white dress looked relaxed. Having successfully obtained Lin Sike's two accompanying talents, she stroked the girl's delicate neck with her fingers.

Keeping the A-level ice system is a hidden danger.

At this moment, a thick ice-blue tentacle appeared silently out of thin air and hit her with the power of thunder.

Caught off guard, the girl in the white dress was hit.

Then several tentacles successively wrapped around her limbs and neck, lifted her into the air, and tore her apart with force.

There was a terrifying creaking sound in the air.

This sudden change surprised everyone, and then made them happy.

——It’s the crazy-eyed octopus that was caught as food!

This crazy-eyed octopus has been suffocating to death since it was caught.

It was really unlucky - it was the one that saw its companion being eaten.

It had long made up its mind to stay away from Sang Luo, but it never expected to be captured alive by a group of humans - they were numerous and powerful, knew its weaknesses, and had a ghostly demon butterfly to help it. It was all alone and there was no way it could defeat them!

What they never expected was that this group of people captured it alive in order to offer it to the woman who ate its companion.

No matter how hard I tried to avoid it, I still couldn't avoid it.

Crazy-Eyed Octopus: I might as well just hit my head and die.

These days it has been locked up in a small dark room where miscellaneous items are stored, and is forced to listen to the various shrill hits played on the speakers every day - all kinds of sharp songs specially downloaded by the system - let alone escaping, it wishes it didn't have ears.

Knowing they were capturing it alive to eat it, it would rather die than grow new tentacles.

But the devil told it that as long as it was obedient and occasionally grew another tentacle as food, he would consider letting it go when he got tired of eating it.

Most importantly, she promised not to torture it with the Divine Comedy.

The strange shadow butterfly also advised it to be practical.

Even the leader was subdued by that devil, so it seemed pointless to continue to be stubborn.

The Crazy-Eyed Octopus thought about it again and again, and finally agreed reluctantly.

Sang Luo also took the time to carve a contract on its forehead, making it obey her orders.

It was locked in a small dark room. When it heard the noise outside, it didn't want to care about it at first because those people had nothing to do with it anyway.

but--

If the devil comes back and finds that it has not helped, will he vent his anger on it?

besides……

That little human praised its beautiful tentacles the other day...

No one has ever praised it.

You can ignore other people, but you still have to take care of that little human.

As it thought this, its tentacles moved.

You can also have some meat by the way.

Damn, I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.

I'm so greedy.

It wants to tear this intruding human into pieces and eat them piece by piece!

Hu Lingling was overjoyed by the sudden attack of the Crazy-Eyed Octopus, but this joy lasted only two seconds before turning into horror.

The aggressive and dominant Crazy-Eyed Octopus was cut into pieces by an invisible force like a broken doll.

But in the process, everyone heard the girl in the white dress let out a painful gasp.

——She saw the eyes of the crazy-eyed octopus!!!

The next second, her figure disappeared, leaving behind a cold and feminine sentence:

"Tell the owner of this place that I am Bai Lu, and Bai Feiyu is my brother... This is a meeting gift from me to her, and I look forward to her return gift."

dense forest

The system excitedly asked Sang Luo how he managed to transfer the power of thunder and lightning to the water and space systems.

It is so curious.

Sang Luo felt her body, which had been tempered by lightning and had greatly increased its strength. Feeling happy, she explained the system's doubts:

"The essence of these energies is ultimately abnormal energy. I can extract water energy to draw talismans, so naturally I can also transfer the power of lightning back to the two parties. As long as I put some thought into it, it won't be difficult."

system:"……"

This is not difficult???

The only person in this world who can do this is you! Do you understand? Only you!!!

In short, it understood from Sang Luo's words:

No matter what type, as long as it is abnormal energy, I guess she has a way to use it interchangeably.

It drew inferences from one instance and was quite excited: "If you gather the energy of the three supernatural powers together, for example, transfer all the energy of the water and space powers to the lightning power..."

"Smart," said Sanluo, "you can try it."

She spoke briskly, and the system suddenly became uneasy: "Is there any risk in this?"

Sang Luo: "There's no risk. At most, it's just like a balloon that's blown up and will burst."

system:"……"

I was ridiculed again QAQ.

It decisively changed the subject and reminded her: It's time to save the villain!

Sang Luo came to the coffin and threw a ball of water in to wrap the person up.

Suddenly, her eyebrows moved.

The system noticed her abnormality: "What's wrong?"

Sang Luo half-closed his eyelashes, which had grown a centimeter longer under the nourishment of the lightning power: "The aura of the contract I engraved on the seafood has become very weak."

The system paused for a second before remembering that the seafood was a Crazy-Eyed Octopus: "What does this mean?"

Sang Luo said calmly: "Something may have happened in the apartment."

System: “…Ah?”

It was anxious: "What can happen? The little girl is still very strong..."

She felt a little guilty when she said this. Lin Sike's ability was powerful, but she couldn't fully control it.

It's like a child holding a powerful weapon, but there's nothing he can do about it if he can't use it.

System: "Then go back quickly!"

Sang Luo said slowly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want me to save people?"

The system was worried about the others in the apartment, so it quickly said, "Can you take him back with you?"

Sang Luo smiled: "How do we get back?"

——The new mount, Die Meili, was unfortunately electrocuted and lay miserably beside him.

System: "Use teleport."

The teleportation distance of the A-level space system has made a qualitative leap, from one thousand meters to five thousand meters.

Sang Luo: "You want me to be his designated driver?"

System: “I don’t!” How dare I!?

"What I mean is, you've already saved him. If you don't take him away, what if something else happens? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to save him?"

The system suddenly had an idea and started from other aspects:

"Besides, it would be such a shame if he woke up and didn't know you were his savior. You have to make him repay you for saving his life."

Sang Luo seemed persuaded: "This is easy."

The system thought she agreed and felt relieved.

She released a small ray of electric spark to wake up Butterfly Meili, and made it come over to guard the coffin.

Then, take out paper and pen from the space and write:

[I repay you for saving my life with my own body. From now on, you are my servant.

After waking up, report to Moonlight Station 3-2201.

——Sang Luo

She gave the note to Die Meili and told it to give the note to Ji Congwu when he woke up.

Die Meili agreed reluctantly.

Then Sang Luo poured a large amount of water into the coffin to deepen the healing effect, and then teleported away.

The shocked system came back to its senses: "You actually let the ultimate villain be your servant!"

Sang Luo: "Is it fun?"

system:"???"

It was choked and speechless.

……etc.

The system found that it seemed to have overlooked a problem——

After the water ball wrapped around the villain, did his nose show?!
