Paying Respects to the Weird
Having just finished the battle Flower Language, dressed in a white dress stained with fresh blood, looked at Lin Nieran sleeping soundly and angrily tore off the Thorns that Moonlit Night had hacked into her body.
So what if it's an early human S Card? Once the Feeder draws an S-Rank card from his Weird Cards, I'll beat him to a pulp!
Of course, she thought cautiously: she wanted to secretly beat up Moonlit Night behind her Feeder's back. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on her True Form.
Lin Nieran opened his eyes and stared at the moldy ceiling for a long time before letting out a big yawn to shake off the sleepiness.
He had just finished yawning, tears still welling in his eyes, when a masked face suddenly appeared before him.
"... Smack!"
The Masked Youth was stunned by the slap, his crimson eyes widening instantly, a murderous intent surging into his mind. "What are you doing!"
"What did you go to do?" Lin Nieran sat up, Wristband arms, and asked casually.
"..." The Masked Youth fell silent and lowered the dagger he had raised.
"I already know even if you don't tell me, I've already been to the neighborhood?"
He can't stay away from me for too long; he's probably been wandering around me these days.
Once he arrives at Lily Hospital, he can go and visit the Happy Residential Complex across the street; one night will be enough for him to reminisce.
After all, that's where they grew up.
"I've been there." The Masked Youth slowly curled his lips. "Guess what it's like now?"
"I don't want to guess," Lin Nieran replied.
Seeing that he refused to ask, the Masked Youth sneered and remained silent; both of them were equally stubborn.
He won't ask, let him suffer to death.
He won't say anything, let him suffer to death.
After washing up and eating something to fill her stomach, Lin Nieran set off to find the Protagonist Group.
It wasn't to save anyone; it was to experience something eerie.
Upon arriving at the area where the Protagonist Group were resting, Lin Nieran had already replaced Moonlit Night with someone else and had the system blur his location information.
With Tao Yuan by their side, the Protagonist Group' injuries had healed overnight, so they decided to take advantage of the daylight and continue their journey to the hospital.
Lin Nieran could make five or six round trips in one night, and this group of people covered half the distance in a single day, which left Lin Nieran in awe.
The power of a group of unlucky people is terrifying.
The Weird Zone is full of eerie things; anything here can be eerie. Lin Nieran saw them being pulled into Weird Instances again and again, only to break free each time.
If he hadn't been constantly dealing with the strange things they had been drawn to, it's not hard to imagine what would have happened to them.
He began to understand why the system was so concerned about their security; there was a reason for it.
At the end of the day, looking at the more than 50,000 Points he had earned, Lin Nieran extremely satisfied. Combined with his previous balance, he now had 70,000 points.
His Fame has now reached over 180,000 and is still growing. The growth rate from the last live stream has slowed down somewhat, but the rescue he performed last night gave him a significant boost from the Protagonist Group and the villains.
Wen Keke is the villain of this world, the leader of the Evil God Organization.
According to the information provided by the system, Wen Keke a woman who is good at using gentleness as a weapon. She is meticulous, her intelligence is no less than that of the protagonist Qin Rang, she is patient, daring and willing to go all out, but she lacks the protagonist's luck.
Although she was ultimately responsible for the world's destruction, Lin Nieran did not intend to harm her at this time; this was a trial for the Protagonist Group.
Moreover, he hadn't expected that the villains could also provide such high levels of Fame, which meant there were even more people using them as tools to rack up points.
Perhaps when we have more cards in the future, we can send some people to farm points in the Villain Organization and cause some trouble for the Protagonist Group.
By then, he'll have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
We're currently about 20,000 Fame and 30,000 Points away from the system upgrade. If we stay in the Weird Zone for another day, we can go back.
Go home tonight and burn the paper money.
At night, Lin Nieran left the Protagonist Group, slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked towards the Happy Residential Complex with his three Vest by his side.
Before the strange occurrences, Happy Residential Complex was actually a well-located community with ample spacing between buildings, complete facilities, and a relatively small number of buildings, making it a high-quality community.
After the building became eerie, from a distance, the once simple and grand building appeared dilapidated and filled with a bloody atmosphere. The dark walls were oppressive, like rows of airtight coffins. Only in the blurry windows could one see black figures, their gazes fixed on everyone present.
Standing in front of the community gate, a cold wind blew against Lin Nieran, messing up his messy hair and blurring his vision.
In his dark eyes, the neighborhood seemed to reflect beams of warm light.
He saw people's smiling faces, heard the clatter of chess pieces played by old men at the stone table, and heard children's laughter in the leisure square—those were his previous impressions of the place.
Strands of hair obscured her eyes, Lin Nieran reached out and brushed them aside; the neighborhood before her remained deathly silent.
It used to be an S-Rank dangerous neighborhood, but now it can't gather any energy at all, leaving only a pile of abandoned buildings.
Lin Nieran emptied the paper money from his bag. Running into the Weird Zone in the middle of the night just to pay respects at a grave—only he would do that, right?
Oh, and there's this lunatic next to him, just as crazy.
The Masked Youth looked over suspiciously and urged, "Hurry up and light the fire, what are you standing there for?"
Moonlit Night, Flower Language, and Bai Yang all turned their heads to look at him.
"This is the True Form's home," said Moonlit Night. "It looks quite nice."
The Flower Language: "Wasn't it dangerous for the Feeder to live here before?"
Lin Nieran lowered his eyes, and Bai Yang spoke for him, saying, "Let's start a fire, it's getting late."
Seeing this, 007's system data once again generated garbled characters.
As expected, it's impossible to analyze the thoughts of a mentally ill person; their system data would become chaotic.
Lin Nieran laid out the paper money. This paper money was generated by real Weird Object and had a nourishing effect on the supernatural, but not much of it.
Back when the supernatural had just descended upon the world, carrying some paper money with you could even help you escape their pursuit.
But now the effect of paper money is almost non-existent; it can only be used for remembrance.
The lighter's flame ignited the paper money, and the round, pale paper curled up and turned into charcoal in the flames.
The faint energy was drawn towards the interior of the residential area.
"My Master, I sense a strange presence here." The Moonlit Night suddenly spoke the moment the paper money was lit.
Lin Nieran also sensed something was wrong and stood up to ask, "Is it a high level?"
"Not inferior to me."
Something flashed through his mind, and he suddenly turned to look at the Masked Youth, only to find him gone once again.
Turning his head again, the door, which had been some distance away, suddenly seemed incredibly close. In a daze, Lin Nieran found himself in a completely different place.
A conspicuous green-lit trash can stands by the roadside. Buildings nine and ten are next to each other, and the only sound in the empty building is Lin Nieran's heartbeat.
He turned around and found the gate of the residential complex behind him; he had just been strangely transported into the complex.
He's been tricked.
So this Instance has been "revived"?
"This is not a good thing," Lin Nieran muttered to himself, looking back at the tall buildings in the residential area.
[WARNING! WARNING! Host has encountered an S-Rank Instance. Do you wish to clear your Fame and Points and forcibly leave the Instance?]
007's urgent voice came through, and Lin Nieran could refuse, an even more urgent voice followed.
