SSR Talent: Possession

"Bang..."

A sound of impact rang out.

Jiang Qiao stood in the plaza, personally witnessing a middle-aged salaryman jump from the building.

However, this time, the one catching him wasn't a convertible sedan, but a pickup truck riddled with bullet holes, looking like it had just been imported from Africa.

"The vehicle is different."

Jiang Qiao didn't follow, as he couldn't deal with supernatural entities yet. If he were targeted, he'd be easy prey.

He just wanted to gather some intelligence, bit by bit.

Currently, it seemed different people were picked up by different cars. He had seen strollers, convertibles, pickup trucks, and even dump trucks!

Seeing that giant vehicle, his mood was hard to describe.

Shen Yingning beside him didn't ask any more questions, faithfully fulfilling her role as the driver.

"These things aren't harmful to you for now, but when you see them, it's best to pretend you didn't," Jiang Qiao said to Shen Yingning, turning his head.

There's a saying among the people: "See the strange, but don't acknowledge it, and the strangeness will defeat itself."

Pretending not to see it could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Mhm, I got it,"

Shen Yingning nodded repeatedly.

Hearing Jiang Qiao say there was no immediate danger, she felt relieved.

"Alright, didn't you rent a place for me? Take me there, I'll stay in the North City District tonight."

Jiang Qiao planned to start the simulation that night in the North City District. If he still couldn't get any useful information, he would have to temporarily halt the investigation.

After all, he didn't dare to get too involved with this stuff in reality.

After having hot pot with Shen Yingning again in the evening, Jiang Qiao returned to his newly rented apartment.

It was a large flat, over two hundred square meters, with an excellent view.

As he lay on the bed, a message notification suddenly chimed.

"Master, thank you for today."

Along with the message was a transfer of fifty thousand yuan.

Jiang Qiao was stunned.

He had spent the entire afternoon searching, hadn't solved anything, and now he was getting fifty thousand yuan?

Were they that generous?

Before his transmigration, Jiang Qiao wasn't short of money; he had even been the top supporter for a small streamer.

It was just a pity that the small streamer was his college roommate, and there were certain privileges he couldn't obtain.

Even if it were given to him, he wouldn't want it!

But money aside, he wouldn't just give tens of thousands to a stranger he'd met only a few hours ago.

If it were up to his own personality, he would have given them at most one or two thousand.

So, this girl is worth befriending; she really gives money when she has it!

I'm making friends with this person, and nothing, not even Jesus, can stop me!

He casually tapped to accept and sent a thank you.

Then, Jiang Qiao tossed his phone aside and began to sense the new talent within his body.

There wasn't much to sense with "Share with Those Who See"; it was a passive talent, managed automatically.

But "Stealthy" was quite interesting.

With a thought, Jiang Qiao activated the Stealthy talent.

Instantly, he felt his entire body fade, as if turning into a wisp of fog.

In the mirror beside him, his reflection had vanished.

"Isn't this just invisibility?"

Jiang Qiao moved his body, but he was too fast, and his completely transparent body became semi-transparent.

"So that's how it is. Stealthy allows for invisibility, but there's a speed limit. If you move too fast, you'll exit the state."

Jiang Qiao suddenly understood.

He tested it and found he could maintain a maximum of 60% of his movement speed. Any faster, and he would slowly become visible again.

This fit the word "stealthy" quite well.

After researching his talents, it was almost 8:30.

Jiang Qiao planned to go out and hunt ghosts after the simulation, and perhaps start a livestream.

The bros in the livestream chat are so nice, and with them around, even lonely nights are filled with joy.

[Simulator Cooldown Complete--]

[Start Weird Simulation?]

"Start!"

[Current Fusions Available: Wind Chaser, Bloodthirsty, Audacious, Possession...]

[Bloodthirsty (S): You are ferocious and bloodthirsty. Neither malevolent ghosts nor humans can escape your blade. With each kill, your strength increases significantly.]

[Possession (SSR): When a human body can no longer contend with the uncanny, why not actively embrace possession? Wouldn't that be exhilarating?]

"Possession?"

Jiang Qiao looked at the description.

This talent wasn't a personality-type talent, but an ability that could be actively used.

It could be used to devour uncanny entities, absorbing them 100%.

However, it would also affect the user, gradually assimilating them, and this process was irreversible.

It was a typical path-dependent talent.

"Give it a try?"

This was the last match of the day, and Jiang Qiao didn't have many choices.

To maximize its effects, Jiang Qiao also equipped the personality talent "Cold-blooded and Selfish."

[Weird Simulation Start--]

[Day 1. A layer of green smog enveloped the district, cutting off all water, electricity, and gas. You left your rented room and went out onto the street. You brutally slaughtered survivors, forcing them to run towards the malevolent ghosts. The malevolent ghosts grew stronger, and after you shared their cultivation, you killed them. "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" You passed through street after street, your cultivation continuously increasing. You felt it wasn't enough, so you shook the Fate Dice. Result: 6! That day, your "Lightning Thunder Fist" advanced to Tier 3! Invincible Body advanced to Tier 3! All other talents advanced to Tier 2!]

[Day 2. You found yourself lost. There were no malevolent ghosts or living people in the smog. You walked along the road carelessly. As you walked, a car horn blared behind you, and a middle-aged uncle's voice called out, asking if you wanted a ride. You gave an affirmative reply. The next moment, you were inside a taxi. You couldn't see the driver, and the car doors were completely sealed. You believed this taxi was terrifying and an ideal item for improving your strength. So, you actively used "Possession." BOOM! A terrifying red light flashed, and you found yourself as the taxi driver. In your vision, various people appeared on the street. They were men and women, old and young, each with a strange smile on their faces. They were all uncanny entities! A look of madness appeared in your eyes. You drove, reenacting GTA 5! After they fell, they immediately got back up, still wearing their strange smiles. They were neither injured nor attacking you. But the next moment, you opened the car window and merged them all into your body. You believed that uncanny entities were more terrifying than malevolent ghosts and could bring you true power!]
