Oh My Yao Shun Yu

The next day, when Bai Zhi went out to go back to school, he was somewhat surprised to find a large crowd gathered downstairs in the residential area.

Several police cars were parked downstairs in front of the building opposite him. Blue and white police Quarantine Zone formed a circle around the entrance, and two criminal police officers stood inside the cordon, blocking the eyes of those peering into the Quarantine Zone.

Someone died in the neighborhood...?

Frowning slightly, Bai Zhi went downstairs and inquired about the situation from the crowd of onlookers.

Just by looking at the situation, he could roughly guess what had happened.

Last night, a Resident in one of the buildings was pronounced dead. In the early morning, when his roommate woke up and discovered the situation, he called the police in a panic.

The police haven't released many specific details, but some onlookers have stated unequivocally that the scene of death was extremely horrific. Apparently, the roommate who witnessed the death was nearly driven insane by the sight and has since been taken to the hospital for treatment.

"... Anomaly? I don't know what Type, but it's probably the Inhuman Existence..."

Letting out a breath, Bai Zhi didn't linger there any longer and turned to walk out of the residential area.

The world is becoming increasingly dangerous, with all sorts of Urban Legend emerging every day. However, since these Anomaly each have their own set of rules, it doesn't mean that getting involved in Urban Legend will necessarily lead to death. It seems that the person who died last night must have unintentionally triggered the killing rule of one of the Anomaly.

After all, there's no pattern to the appearance of things like Anomaly. Sometimes finding a few dollars on the street, accidentally logging into some death websites, or having some strange apps automatically downloaded on your phone... these could all be omens before getting involved in an Urban Legend.

Don't think that Anomaly don't keep up with the times. Anomaly have dignity too, okay? Who would hide in the toilet all day long? Don't they have any pride? In Japan, for example, a new Anomaly called "Hell Website" has recently appeared, spreading through the internet. In North America, an app called "Countdown" has also appeared... These kinds of Anomaly that spread rapidly and widely on the internet are the most difficult to deal with.

As Bai Zhi was leaving the residential area, he casually tossed a notice board into a trash can.

He found this notice board in the first Man-eating Room on the sixth floor during the "Life Save Disk" mission. At the time, Temperance Gentleheart asked him what was written on the notice board, but he absolutely refused to tell them. It wasn't because the notice board contained any secrets, but rather...

[Idiot, you actually came, didn't you!? 🖕🏻]

--If it weren't for that utterly sarcastic sign, he wouldn't have bothered throwing Dog Poop into that room that was destined to burn down... Did he really think this kind of stuff was easy to collect?

"We're out of stock; we need to get some out of our existing inventory soon..."

While muttering to himself, Bai Zhi took out his phone and ordered 50 cans of Herring Can and ten kilograms of Devil Pepper from Taobao while waiting for the Bus on the street.

If used properly, this thing can be as lethal as a weapon of mass destruction, and it also comes with the added psychological Shadow effect. There's really nothing more profitable than this.

If he weren't so disgusted by the filth, he'd be tempted to take a bucket and fill it with poop in public restrooms. If he ever encountered any malicious Player or weirdos in the future, he could just throw poop at them— the Special Effect would be absolutely amazing!

However, compared to that low-grade stuff, the finished product made from a combination of fermented Herring Can, durian, Devil Pepper, bananas, and other seasonings is far superior. But so far, he hasn't figured out where he's going to do this kind of thing.

After all, if he were reported to the authorities, it would already be considered a large-scale poisoning incident...

How about we make a deal?

He had just placed his order when a message from an unknown number arrived on his phone.

... Did you change your phone number?

Looking at the message he had just received on his phone, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced around.

Then, immediately afterward, a second message followed.

Give me back that Land Deed you can't use at all, and I'll give you what you want. That Land Deed is useless to you, but it's extremely important to me.

Helping others and returning lost property are traditional virtues. Considering you helped me last time, I'm returning the Land Deed to you. Come and get it yourself.

With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi directly replied to the Fake Campus Belle on the other end of the line.

In the past, the other party dared to appear openly in front of me because I didn't have many means of attack and couldn't do anything to them. But now, if the other party dares to show up... they're practically walking Game Coins and Experience Points delivered to my doorstep.

[... You're not planning to lure me out so you can just kill me, are you?]

"Tsk, this thing seems pretty wary; it's not easy to fool..."

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, then replied to the other party without hesitation.

[How could I! Look at me, so upright and honest. Do you think I'm the kind of person who breaks their word? I said I'd return it, and I will. Don't worry, besides, you helped me last time. How could I possibly repay kindness with enmity? Do I look like that kind of person?]

[It's like, and also quite shameless.]

This time, the other party replied within three seconds.

[Then we can't discuss a deal. After all, we don't Trust each other, so talking any further would be pointless. How about we talk about something else?]

Looking at the Bus that had stopped in front of him, Bai Zhi shrugged, weaving information with his fingers as he stepped onto the bus.

[Someone died in my neighborhood last night. Did you do it?]

[Don't confuse me with those low-level Anomaly... Handing over that Land Deed sooner is for your own good. Humans can't withstand the corrosive effects of that stuff, even if you haven't noticed it yet. If you don't believe me, check your Sanity Value in your Attribute Panel.]

Seemingly having no intention of changing their initial thoughts, the other party quickly replied with a long message. Perhaps due to the urgency of the matter, this message contained a great deal of thought-provoking information.

"... Sanity Value?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi opened the Attribute Panel and took a look.

[Sanity Value:???]

"The other party seems quite familiar with this kind of thing, beings descending from Outside the World... and the last time..."

Bai Zhi frowned slightly and replied to the other party's message.

[Oh My Yao Shun Yu, I simply can't believe my Sanity Value has become like this! My Pangu, I swear I must find the reason for this! Can you imagine what happened to me?]

About a minute later, the other party responded.
