The Calamity Crossing Squad's Past

"I'm more inclined to believe that your memories have been erased. Sister Chu and I went outside during the day, and if the timing wasn't right, we wouldn't have been able to appear there," Sheng Qingqiao said.

"That's possible, so we only have four days left."

The group discussed this point of view. Bai Yang didn't say anything, Qin Rang next to him was also tightly gripping the Evil Ghost Mask, seemingly lost in thought.

An Ying had been silent after asking the question, noticed the silence between the two and gently nudged Bai Yang with her elbow. "What is he thinking about?"

Bai Yang: "Who are you asking about?"

"Qin Rang."

"Your captain, you don't know?" Bai Yang muttered, pouting. "He's probably thinking about what to eat tonight... By the way, has Boss Lin eaten yet?"

Lin Nieran turned to look at them. "We haven't eaten yet. We're planning to buy a cup of instant noodles later."

"Bring me a bucket, I'm hungry too."

"Okay, An Ying, do you want it?"

An Ying shook her head. "We ate a long time ago."

The team leader was worried they'd be constantly pulled into the game, so they ate early. Qin Rang also prepared some for Bai Yang and the others; he remembered Bai Yang had already eaten dinner, so why was he hungry again so soon?

Lin Nieran stood up, another page floated in front of him, with three words clearly written on it: I want one too.

When he returned with several buckets of instant noodles, Qin Rang was already discussing with his companions how to spread the word that it was actually the third day. Otherwise, if the others were always a day behind, the entire Instance would be wiped out on the last day.

"I'll go and test the waters with a few familiar squads," Tao Yuan said decisively. "If any of them have Weird Object capable of resisting the Rules that happens to be activated at that time, perhaps someone will sense something is wrong when they hear the news, just like the captain did, which would increase the credibility of the report."

"Alright."

Sheng Qingqiao stood up. "Then I'll go too!"

Mi Chuchu said, "Let's do it together. We know many people in the Dark Side. If we let them compare timelines with the Dark Side, more people will surely believe it."

Before long, only Qin Rang, Bai Yang, and Ji Fengbai, who was eating noodles with Lin Nieran, remained.

"Tao Yuan's weapon." Lin Nieran handed Qin Rang Pink Chainsaw that was about the same size as before. "Remember to pay. If you die here, I'll go to the Authorities to collect the debt."

Qin Rang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Boss Lin, you'll definitely get the money from Tao Yuan."

He took the Chainsaw, which was much heavier than before; its current length and shape were more suitable for Tao Yuan's body and height.

This Weird Object is shaped like Chainsaw from Chainsaw series. It can cut enemies on its own without swinging the arm back and forth, and can cut all the way through in one stroke, which is why it is so popular with Tao Yuan.

However, Chainsaws are much heavier and consume more energy than regular Chainsaws, and cannot be used for extended periods.

These drawbacks became even more apparent after upgrading to A-Rank Chainsaw.

After Lin Nieran crafted it into Weird Artifact, the Chainsaw would be slightly heavier than the previous B-Rank, but its size, grip at the handle, and energy transmission had all been greatly optimized.

Qin Rang weighed it in his hand and exclaimed sincerely, "Boss Lin's craftsmanship is truly superb. I'll have to order one myself someday."

"Then you'll need to prepare enough money. I don't have any extra materials for Tao Yuan's weapon this time, so I can only do a simple processing first. It will be easier to reforge it after we get out."

"These are the Rules for Chainsaws." Lin Nieran handed him a piece of paper, something he would leave behind after each casting.

Each Weird Artifact carries a certain degree of danger. Once Weird Object is transformed into Weird Artifact, the Rules will be significantly reduced, but they will not disappear.

Qin Rang and the others were clear about the original Rules of the Pink Chainsaw, which consisted of four rules, but Lin Nieran only handed over two Rules.

[The Rules the Murder Chainsaw Weird Artifact]

1. After bleeding occurs, the chainsaw will fully enrage for five minutes or be amplified for ten minutes. During the enrage, it will attack both friend and foe, prioritizing wounded and bleeding targets. After the enrage and amplification periods end, the Chainsaw will run out of energy for 24 hours.

2. After charging for 1 minute, the Chainsaw's attack inflicts a soul attack, but it must sever the target; otherwise, the Chainsaw will break.

Two Rules with very little binding force. Qin Rang looked at the note, then at Tao Yuan's Long Hair pink hair, and asked in surprise, "The Rules that turns you into a little pink person when you use it is gone?"

"That Rules could have been eliminated during the forging process," Lin Nieran said. "However, the side effects on her have persisted for too long to be eliminated. They won't worsen now, nor will they disappear."

Qin Rang looked at Tao Yuan in the crowd and hesitated, "The Rules for Little Pink have been in place for so many years, she... should be used to it by now? I think she quite likes her hair color. As long as her eyebrows don't change color like An Ying's, she should be fine."

Before the next round of the game began, Tao Yuan received the weapon. She breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the Chainsaw with a big smile.

"If this Chainsaw is ruined, finding a new Weird Object that suits me will depend on luck. It's a pity that my luck has been gone ever since I teamed up with Captain Qin." Tao Yuan hung the Chainsaw back on his waist, straightened his back, and sat down, in a very good mood.

Sheng Qingqiao chuckled to himself. He had heard the Head of the Tao Family say that Tao Yuan was the Family Clan's lucky star before she met Qin Rang.

Bai Yang asked curiously, "How did you form a team? Was it an Authorities assigned team?"

In the early stages of the bizarre events, the Authorities united those who possessed the Weird Objects, leading them to form the Purger, who organized people into teams of at least two people to tackle the Instance together.

Many people formed teams voluntarily or randomly at that time, and it proved that in the face of such a natural disaster, people must unite to survive.

Recalling the past, Tao Yuan smiled nostalgically, "No, he and I were the original members of the Calamity Crossing Squad. There were only the two of us in the team back then. If it weren't for me, Qin Rang wouldn't have been able to form this team."

Thinking of the past, Qin Rang's gaze softened. "Yes, we were all too young back then. Although back then, people of all ages and genders would go to deal with the supernatural, who would want to team up with a little kid?"

"Eldest Miss, didn't you also find me because you had no one to team up with? Your family wouldn't let you go out to deal with the monsters, and you were afraid of being caught and taken back after sneaking out, so you asked me to team up with you, right? You also hid your identity for a long time and didn't tell us."

"We were all shocked when we heard the news," Sheng Qingqiao said. "Except for Wang Ding, that guy already knew, but he just didn't tell us."

Wang Ding adjusted his glasses and subtly leaned back. "It has nothing to do with me; she told me not to tell you."

Tao Yuan smiled and said, "I see through it, but I won't say it."

Bai Yang exclaimed "Oh~" and said with a grin, "So there's such a story. You were all so young back then, how did you deal with the strange things?"
