Chapter 11
When he knew his fate, He Jingtong did not show any obvious change in emotion.
It's nothing more than becoming a monster that is half human and half non-human.
Moreover, after he possessed supernatural powers, even though they were powers that did not belong to humans, his ending was not too tragic.
It's just that it's hard to maintain the current state.
What happened before can be determined, and the future can be changed.
So on August 1st, He Jingtong clicked on one of the system functions early in the morning.
The page shows [Spend 1,000 points to unlock the ghost exploration function, and you can explore within a 10-kilometer radius. ]
At the same time, points can also be used to upgrade this function, but the unlocking range of one thousand points is only ten kilometers.
At this moment, He Jingtong's total points have reached 2250 after the first episode was released.
Excluding unlocking the spirit-seeking function, He Jingtong exchanged the remaining 1,250 points for the 1,000-point pain-shielding function without blinking an eye.
At the same time, he also discovered that the pain-blocking function had a bug that made it difficult to turn it on manually.
The function to block pain is right there. If you ignore it, the countdown will go back little by little. If you pay attention and choose to turn it off manually when it is not needed, you will save a lot of points.
Of course, He Jingtong must have an accurate judgment in the battle. Otherwise, before he can open it, he will be hit by the spirit and seriously injured, which will only make the brain affected by the stress response unable to react quickly and rationally.
He Jingtong turned off the pain shielding, turned on the spirit detection function, and quickly locked onto the place closest to him.
A primary school.
In "Alien", He Jingtong also started to come into contact with and fight against aliens around this time, but in the comics, the aliens he came into contact with were more peaceful, already controlled, and specially placed in the academy for students to practice.
If He Jingtong follows the "Alien" node step by step, his ability will also be improved in an orderly manner according to the rhythm of comics, but this is obviously not possible.
Whether it was becoming a monster that was neither human nor spirit, or classmates dying one after another...
When those comic plots were projected into his mind, his emotions did not fluctuate at all. However, after he became extremely rational, this rationality alone was enough to make He Jingtong understand that he did not want the future that was predetermined by the comics.
Stop talking nonsense.
Because today is the weekend, Xiyang Primary School, He Jingtong's destination, is in a semi-closed state at this time.
However, the spiritual aura so evident inside the campus is still that kind of ripple-like feeling that only professionals can detect.
This power is being transmitted outward all the time. Ordinary people can only feel their bodies getting cooler and their backs getting tingling within the scope of this school.
Just as they would regard this feeling as an illusion, in fact, the students and staff of Xiyang Primary School could not see that in the east toilet inside the primary school, there was an egg beating like a heart, or it could be said to be a young alien spirit, which was constantly absorbing the power called sin in the air to strengthen itself.
He Jingtong always had a mobile phone in his hand, so even though he had delicate features and good looks, many passers-by still kindly regarded him as a socially anxious, internet-addicted teenager.
In short, even if someone saw him walking alone on the sidewalk of Xiyang Primary School, passers-by would hesitate and not choose to approach him to disturb him.
He Jingtong stared at the relevant information on the mobile phone interface.
In the city's newspaper, there was a news report with only a single-digit number of likes. Its content showed that [Ji, a third-grade student at Xiyang Primary School in this city, has been missing for three days...]
From the moment he saw this news, He Jingtong was basically certain that the supernatural being this time was this child.
In "Strange Psycho", there is also an explanation for the gradual younger age of the strange spirits.
After all, compared to children who have little exposure to the dangers of society and are still relatively innocent, adults are more likely to become emotionally extreme at certain times, thus causing soul alienation.
For example, insulting the boss, and... insulting the boss.
But in fact, contemporary adults are forced by reality to develop great hatred and anger towards various capitals and exploiters, but once they are faced with the reality that they cannot survive without money, even their hatred will be restrained.
Instead, it's the children.
The pressure of study, the pressure of the environment, and the mentality that has not yet had time to mature, these can easily push a young child to extremes.
He Jingtong sometimes doesn't think that "Alien" is a shonen manga at all.
But in the early days, he would never reveal any truth about this world to the comics audience.
Finding alien spirits, defeating them, and receiving rewards are the standard information output in the early upgrade process.
After confirming that the hatching egg was not stronger than the alien spirit in the hospital, He Jingtong decided to go home and leave the area of Xiyang Primary School.
At the same time, around 10 a.m., Qi Xueyi sent a message.
【Qi Xueyi: Do you want to come to school tomorrow?】
Lao Cui means that you just need to follow the normal admission process, but I think it is still necessary for you to understand our school.
Honestly, I think this place is both good and bad, so instead of getting in touch with this environment before the official start of school, it is better to take a walk around here in advance and let me explain the specific situation. 】
A series of information pop-ups came over, no matter whether it was in reality or from "Alien", Qi Xueyi never concealed his chatterbox nature.
He Jingtong tapped the screen with his pale fingertips and finally replied, "I understand. Please pick me up at the apartment at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Qi Xueyi replied with an OK expression and disappeared.
He Jingtong deeply felt that even though Qi Xueyi was a chatterbox, he was a very decisive chatterbox.
At night, or more precisely in the early morning.
For this city with a very prosperous nightlife, He Jingtong chose to go to bed early in the afternoon and wait quietly for the arrival of 2 a.m.
He Jingtong had a slightly obsessive-compulsive behavior, staring at the clock on the wall, watching the second hand jump one by one, until it reached exactly two o'clock, not a second late, then He Jingtong stood up and left the apartment.
There was a small mirror attached to the entrance, which was convenient for He Wanchen to use to tidy up his appearance when he got up early in the morning. The boy's face flashed by.
Pale and calm. His long eyelashes concealed the color of his eyeballs. The brightness of the street lights outside the apartment was barely enough to illuminate his eyes. At first glance, it seemed that even the whites of his eyes had turned darker than the night.
At two o'clock in the morning, the area around Xiyang Primary School was much quieter than expected. At least on one side of the road, there were only He Jing and another person walking.
After making sure that the fence was easy for him to climb over and that there was no bad vegetation inside that might hurt people, He Jingtong stood on the outside and reached out to grab the horizontal bar at the top of the fence.
He Jingtong flipped in directly in just a few moves. His movements were so clean and neat that even when he landed, there was no noticeable sound.
The boy, who had a good sense of direction, quickly found the hatching alien spirit.
Unlike the angry ghost in the hospital before, when He Jingtong opened the door of the men's restroom on the first floor, this hatching egg was not so much an egg as it was one that had already been fully hatched. However, it did not move, but instead made a protective posture, curling up its body into a ball.
He looked to be about the same age as the ghost girl in the hospital, with a curled-up body and looking extremely thin.
But when he saw the colors surrounding the boy, He Jingtong inexplicably felt that some of the settings in the comics were correct.
Laziness, the power color of green.
Even though it is one of the seven deadly sins, laziness by its very nature is not a force that can easily harm others.
Compared to the comics, the first time He Jingtong came into contact with a supernatural being, he faced an angry being that was full of malice towards humans...
He Jingtong knew from just one look at this one that it had no desire to attack others. And compared to the sin of the wrathful one, which could easily affect the mind, laziness would not affect rationality.
He Jingtong looked at it for a long time without saying anything, just thinking silently.
Thinking about the various settings in "Oddity", he pondered the current situation in this world that allowed him to judge the truth endlessly but felt it was false because it was too real.
Normal human emotions tell him that he should be troubled by this, but this so-called normal human emotion is nothing more than a normal person's thoughts based on rational judgment.
In fact, all He Jingtong did was to reach out and poke the alien ball that was still beating like a heart.
Before the other party could react and get rid of his curled up posture, He Jingtong smiled.
The curve of the corners of her mouth was still standard and beautiful, but because it was too textbook a smile it seemed strange.
It's like a person who is not narcissistic, venting his so-called love in front of the mirror in an infatuated and sorrowful way, but there is also a sense of weirdness in it, and there is not even a trace of sympathy for the spirits.
An aura that was even more inhuman than that of the alien spirit permeated the air. He Jingtong looked at the alien spirit with an unchanged expression and said word by word:
"Can you please die?"
The boy never concealed his abnormality
I just appear normal in front of others.
He Jingtong, who is a normal person, has a psychological counselor's psychological assessment conclusion, which also constantly demonstrates his "health", right?
He Jingtong casually thought that maybe after this incident was over he could go see a psychiatrist to get a certificate.
But the most important thing at the moment is still the appearance of the alien that was curled up into a ball and fully stretched out.
He Jingtong retracted his previous comment that the age of this alien was not much different from that of the one in the hospital.
This is probably because the manifestation of this alien spirit is not a soul but a body. !
